Teens arrested in attempted robbery
Two juveniles passing through Gainesville were arrested Thursday on charges related to the attempted robbery and carjacking of a woman outside the Books-A-Million store at 2601 NW 13th St., police reported.
The incident occurred about 6 p.m. when the teenagers, one from Texas and one from Georgia, saw a woman get out of her car with an iPad and go into the bookstore. Police said they waited until she left the store, then pushed her against a wall and tried to take the iPad and her car keys.
After the victim screamed and fought the two off, they ran from the area. An officer spotted them at a nearby McDonald's and detained them, police said,, adding that the victim identified them as the assailants.
The teens said they were casing the area to commit a carjacking so they could get to the beach, police said.

Manchester's Gill Stadium nearing centenial rededication, still going strongSpecial to the Union Leader
May 11. 2013 2:16AM
This is the first in a series of articles about the history of Gill Stadium as it prepares for its centennial rededication on Sept. 8. Future installments will appear in the Saturday editions of the New Hampshire Union Leader.
On Sept. 8, 1913, the new Manchester stadium known as Textile Field was dedicated with a visit from the World Series champion Boston Red Sox, a soccer game, a relay race and fireworks. By day's end, about 14,000 people had passed through the stately new brick, wood and steel structure.
For more than a year now, planning has been under way for a celebration weekend at what is now Gill Stadium to commemorate the centennial of that 1913 dedication.
The rededication is planned for Sunday, Sept 8, 2013. Organizers hope to fill the field with former and current players and coaches who have participated in contests at Gill. Following the rededication, the nationally ranked Southern New Hampshire University men's soccer team will take on Dowling College.
Other events planned for that weekend include a banquet on Friday night, a road race on Saturday and a high school football game that night featuring Manchester Central and Concord. The planning committee also hopes to bring former and current marching band members into the celebration.
Filling a need
What do you do if your company owns a 6-acre tract of land located less than a mile from the center of a large city, and the community has no decent athletic facility? If the year is 1913 and the 6-acre tract in Manchester is home to a park with rotted stands and a collapsing fence, you tear it down and build a stadium.
At that time, the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company employed 16,000 people in its extensive system of Manchester mills. The company encouraged its employees to participate in sports within the framework of its Manufacturers League, but the company-owned facility where the league played most of its games, Varick Park, was terribly outdated and rundown. Varick was demolished, and Textile Field was constructed in its place at a cost of $30,000.
As it came into being 100 years ago, Manchester's new stadium was in good company. Also opening in 1913 were Ebbetts Field, home to the Brooklyn Dodgers, and Manhattan's Grand Central Station.
Textile Field's brick facade, 3,000-seat grandstand and wood-and-steel roof protecting the seats were the architectural highlights, the grandstand arcing around the south side of the multi-purpose playing field and quarter-mile cinder track that surrounded it. A 100-yard straight track for sprints was located directly in front of the grandstand. Elite runners of the time were said to consider the tracks among the fastest in the country. Twenty-eight arc lights illuminated the facility.
In addition to the 3,000-seat grandstand, the stadium also included box seating for another 100 spectators and wooden bleachers at either end of the grandstand providing seating for 1,000 more. Bleacher seating opposite the grandstand also was available for football games, and standing room could accommodate as many as 5,000 .
Stars come out
While dedication day was a multi-event affair, the main attraction was the baseball game.
Though it was clear by the time they arrived to christen Textile Field that the Red Sox (who had dedicated their own new ballpark the previous season) would not defend their title, they still featured an impressive lineup. That included six players - Bill Carrigan, Larry Gardner, Harry Hooper, Duffy Lewis, Tris Speaker and Smoky Joe Wood - who would later be enshrined in the team's hall of fame and one, Speaker, who would be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Boston's opponent for the dedication game was a team of all-stars from the local Manufacturers League. The amateurs gave the Sox a game but ultimately lost, 3-1.
The soccer game featured the Amoskeag Textile Club and the Manchester Light Blues, champions of the Lowell, Lawrence and District soccer league.
New names, new faces
Textile Field was purchased in 1927 by the City of Manchester from Amoskeag Industries and renamed Athletic Field. In 1967, it was renamed again, this time for Ignace Gill, longtime superintendent of the city's Parks and Recreation Department.
In 2003-04, the stadium underwent a major renovation, thanks to the arrival of the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Easter League affiliates of the Toronto Blue Jays, who would use Gill as their home field in 2004 while a new stadium was under construction on the banks of the Merrimack River. Work on the older building included the installation of 2,200 new seats under the roof, structural repairs, and enhanced press box, upgraded lighting, and the installation of an artificial-turf playing surface.
While the Fisher Cats now occupy Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, games continue at Gill, which remains an important part of the fabric of Manchester. And on the weekend of Sept. 6-8 current and former players, coaches, musicians and fans will return to the still-stately edifice as it celebrates its past and sets the stage for another 100 years of memories.

Budget plan offers little more for cities, townsBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
February 16. 2013 11:47PM
CONCORD - Gov. Maggie Hassan's $11 billion budget calls for an overall spending increase of $184 million over the next two fiscal years, but cities and towns make out only slightly better under her plan than under the current budget.
The governor, acknowledging that slow revenue growth prevents her from restoring all recent cuts to municipalities, prioritizes her proposed spending hike to the state university and community college systems, the mental health system, hospitals and an expansion of Medicaid.
The key revenue increases to fund the additional spending would come from casino gambling at one facility in the southern part of the state, providing $80 million, and a 30 cents-a-pack hike in the cigarette tax, providing $40 million.
Hassan's budget plan, which now heads to the House Finance Committee for review, calls for continuing most cuts to, or caps on, local revenue sharing that were imposed over the past several years by the most recent Democratic-controlled Legislature and the Republican-controlled Legislature that followed it.
According to the nonpartisan Center for Public Policy Studies, "Not counting adequate education aid, state aid to cities and towns fell 36 percent from fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2013."
Hassan does call for adding back modest amounts in several areas.
Figures compiled by the state Legislative Budget Assistant's office and provided by the public policy center show the state in 2009 capped rooms and meals tax distribution to cities and towns at $58.8 million, suspending a state law that called for increases as a percentage of total rooms and meals tax receipts.
Hassan's budget continues flat funding for fiscal 2014, but in fiscal 2015, the second year of her budget plan, she would increase it by $5 million.
"It's an increase they have not seen since 2009," said center deputy director Daniel Barrick. "They've been at the same level for the past five years."
Hassan estimates overall rooms and meals tax revenue going from $249 million on the current fiscal year to $256 million in 2014 and $267 million in 2015. The amount not sent to cities and towns goes into the general fund for overall state purposes.
A separate general revenue sharing program, which draws primarily from Business Profits Tax receipts, had been level at $25.2 million-a-year from 2001 through fiscal 2009.
The 2009 Legislature ended the funding and it has not been restored since, according to the LBA figures.
Hassan also restores no money to this program.
The state had been subsidizing a portion of public employees retirement funds, to the tune of as much as $51 million in fiscal 2009 and $44 million in 2011, according to the LBA figures.
That amount was cut to $3.5 million in fiscal 2011 and to zero in the current fiscal year, 2013.
Hassan does not restore any of that funding in her budget for fiscal 2014 and 2015.
"Though the state's slow revenue growth prevents us from restoring all cuts made in past budgets," said Hassan spokesman Marc Goldberg, "Governor Hassan worked to ensure that her fiscally responsible balanced budget begins to restore funding to local communities in key areas, including meals and rooms distributions and aid to schools."
She continues to fully fund state education adequacy aid at about $950 million in each of the two fiscal years.
Hassan's office said her total school building aid contributions would be $46 million in fiscal 2014 and $50 million in 2015. The current budget called for spending $48.8 million in 2012 and $47 million in the current fiscal year, according to the LBA figures provided by the public policy center.
The governors office said her budget also provides $14.8 million over two-year budget cycle in education tuition and transportation assistance. That's an increase of $1 million over the current two-year budget.
Her budget also calls for $45.1 million over the two-year budget period in catastrophic aid to local schools, which is an increase of $2 million over the current biennium.
Hassan would provide $3 million in fiscal 2015 to resume funding public water and wastewater projects for the first time in five fiscal years.
Charles Arlinghaus, president of the conservative Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, said that viewed broadly, "the operating part of the budget breaks down to what we send back to cities and towns and what we keep in Concord.
"Under the governor's budget," he said, "the half that goes back to cities and towns would get a very modest increase and the half that is government in Concord would get a much bigger increase.
"Most of the cuts that were imposed over the past several years were on the things we do in Concord and less on the cities and towns," he said. "So in a way, it evens out."
The budget process is just beginning, however. Traditionally, it does not end until the final days of June, just before the end of the current fiscal year and the July 1 beginning of the next one.

David Miliband's decision to quit British politics was a "good" move in the sense that it has brought "clarity", younger brother Ed has said.
The Labour leader admitted "it was quite clear" when he scooped the top party job that David probably did not want to serve in the shadow cabinet but he had believed that might change.
In an interview with the LabourList blog, Ed Miliband said it was good for both of them that the resignation "sort of came out in the right way".
The party leader insisted he would not describe his feelings about the move as a sense of relief, adding: "I suppose I feel at one level, obviously, sad that he's leaving the country and going to America. I'm going to miss him.
"On another level I feel he's obviously - and it's been obvious to me over the last few months talking to him about the job - that he feels very excited by it and quite happy to be doing it. And so it's a mixed sense, really. It's good in the sense that it's brought clarity."
David, who is stepping down as South Shields MP and moving to New York to take up the position of president and chief executive of the International Rescue Committee, said he wanted to put an end to the "soap opera" surrounding the two brothers, but Ed suggested the focus had lessened.
He told the blog: "I think, to be fair, the 'soap opera' had died down a lot - it wasn't like it was a continuing thing - but there was clearly a sense of uncertainty about what he was going to do, and so it's brought a sense of clarity.
"So, in that sense I think it's good. For him - and for me - that it sort of came out in the right way. I think there was generosity on all sides of the Labour Party for the contribution he has made.
"I think what I tried to do was to say, when I said the door was open for the shadow cabinet, I was serious about that. And I wanted him to feel that there was a choice.
"At the same time, I didn't want to try and push him into doing something that he didn't want to do. And it was quite clear to me from the moment I became leader that he probably didn't want to come into the shadow cabinet.
"I thought that might change, but it became increasingly clear to me over the past few months when this opportunity arose - I think he said to me in our second conversation 'If I get offered this, I'm likely to take it'.
"So in a way I think the die was cast in terms of what was going to happen if he was offered the job. It was a big opportunity, it speaks to our family history, it suits his talents."

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Down to nine men following a pair of second-half red cards, the New England Revolution dug in its heels and held on for a hard-fought 1-1 draw with visiting FC Dallas on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.
The draw was the Revolution's (2-3-1, 7 pts.) first of the season and snapped a brief two-game losing streak, while the result kept Dallas (0-1-4, 4 pts.) winless despite a 22-10 advantage in shots.
Rookie forward Zack Schilawski gave the Revs their first halftime lead of the season against the run of play with a 41st-minute strike, but Kheli Dube – whose hard work set up Schilawski's goal – saw red in the 56th minute as the hosts were reduced to 10 men. Dallas midfielder Atiba Harris then leveled the score in the 67th minute before Joseph Niouky became the second Revolution player ejected in the 72nd minute. Despite playing the final 18 minutes – plus more than five minutes of stoppage time – with a two-man advantage, the Hoops were unable to find a game-winner.
In addition to the two red cards, each club was issued five cautions in what became an increasingly physical match throughout the second half.
The Revolution made no changes to the lineup which dropped a 2-1 decision to the Colorado Rapids last weekend, as head coach Steve Nicol elected to go with an identical starting 11 from top to bottom.
As expected, Dallas pushed forward from the opening whistle and came inches from taking an early lead in the fifth minute. Harris beat Revolution goalkeeper Preston Burpo with a driven shot from an acute angle, but the effort struck the right post. The rebound fell kindly to David Ferreira in the middle of the box, but the Colombian couldn't connect on his attempted shot.
The visitors continued to press and only a series of near misses and critical clearances from Cory Gibbs and Darrius Barnes kept the Hoops off the board in the first 30 minutes. Former Revolution midfielder Daniel Hernandez also came close, but his 32nd-minute free kick was well-saved by Burpo.
New England slowly began to turn the tide after weathering the early storm, and the home side almost took the lead against the run of play in the 40th minute. Marko Perovic's in-swinging service from the right corner cleared everyone in the box to find Schilawski at the back post, but his effort struck the woodwork.
Schilawski wouldn't have to wait long to find the back of the net, however, as the rookie scored his fourth goal of the season just one minute later. Dallas goalkeeper Dario Sala attempted to guide a long pass over the end line, but Dube rounded Sala and narrowly kept the ball in play. With Sala chasing and the net vacant, Dube dribbled toward goal before slotting a pass into the center of the box for Schilawski, who slid ahead of his defender to tuck the ball into the empty net.
Dallas almost responded before the halftime whistle, but Barnes came to the Revolution's rescue once again with a crucial clearance as Jeff Cunningham was ready to pounce after the ball got behind Burpo.
Despite his first-half goal, Schilawski was replaced by midfielder Khano Smith at halftime as the Revs looked to match Dallas' five-man midfield.
New England was forced to alter its tactics just minutes later, however, as Dube was issued a straight red card for a challenge on Ugo Ihemelu in the 56th minute. As a result, Perovic – typically a midfielder – was forced into a lone striker role.
The Hoops almost made the most of their numerical advantage just two minutes later, but Burpo made a fantastic save – one of a career-high 10 in the game – on Harris' flicked header from a left wing cross.
Burpo could do nothing about Harris' next header, however, which he buried from six yards out in the 67th minute. Dax McCarty provided the service, curling in a right-wing free kick for Harris to finish and knot the score at 1-1.
The situation went from bad to worse for the Revs in the 72nd minute when Niouky – already on a yellow card – was issued a straight red for a reckless challenge on Heath Pearce.
Only the woodwork prevented Dallas from taking the lead in the 77th minute, when Brek Shea's long-distance drive flew past Burpo but struck the underside of the crossbar. Seven minutes later, Kevin Alston was the Revolution's savior, cutting out Harris' cross with Shea waiting to finish from close range.
Dallas put the ball off the crossbar once more in the 87th minute, this time when Cunningham's glancing header from 10 yards out struck the woodwork.
Twice the Hoops had chances to win the match in stoppage time, but Jason Yeisley's close-range header was pawed away by Burpo and Shea skied a glorious chance from the left side of the box.
The Revs will close out their three-game home-stand with their first midweek game of the season on Wednesday, May 5, against Chivas USA. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Gillette Stadium.

- The draw puts the Revolution at 22-10-2 (11-5-1 at home) all-time against FC Dallas and its first tie with the Hoops since a 1-1 tie at Dallas on July 4, 2001, a string of 20 games against FCD without a draw … the tie was also New England's first of the season.
- The Revolution used the same starting lineup for the second consecutive game, but not the same bench … Zak Boggs replaced Chris Tierney on the bench … Tierney missed his first game of the season with a left knee sprain.
- New England scored its second first- half goal of the season and led at halftime for the first time in 2010.
- Zack Schilawski picked up his team-leading fourth goal of the season in the 42nd minute, assisted by Kheli Dube's third helper of the year, also leading the club.
- Preston Burpo made seven saves in the first half, a season-high in only 45 minutes of play … he finished with ten saves.
- Burpo's ten saves were a career high, besting his previous best of eight, which he achieved against the Revs on July 7, 2007 when he played for Chivas USA.
- Kheli Dube was shown a straight red card in the 56th minute and was ejected … the Revs played with ten men until Joseph Niouky was then shown a straight red card in the 72nd minute and the Revolution played with nine men for the duration of the match … the Revs were shown their first and second red cards of the season.
- Because of the red cards they received, the Revolution will be without the services of Kheli Dube and Joseph Niouky for Wednesday's match against Chivas USA.
- Eleven different players were booked in the match, six for New England and five for Dallas … the Hoops were shown five yellow cards, while the Revs received five yellows and two straight reds … Joseph Niouky received a yellow and was shown a straight red in the 65th and 72nd minutes.
- The Revolution used only two of the maximum three substitutes on Saturday … it was the first time this season head coach Steve Nicol did not use the maximum three subs.

AP, I'm not sure what this means, but I'd like to answer it honestly/seriously.
A double is 2 in 2 days, a triple 3 in 3 (and 4 in 4 is quadzilla). If you mean "between marathons" as the time between the first day's race and the second day's race, true, I don't run . I eat a ton and I travel from race A to race B.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Ok srlopez. Where is the quadzilla? Someday I will join the Maniacs so this is kinda need to know stuff.
I *have*, however, raced (as in actually all-out raced) a 5k on a friday evening and run an ultra 12 hours later on Saturday morning.
Hawt and sexy
I'm touching your pants.
This Sat I'm doing Frederick 5K, and Sun Frederick Mara
Come on. Ultras are fun. Join the dark side.
Ooo! That sounds fun. Good luck!
Let me know about the Frederick races. I need to re-run MD because I only did one race there (the now defunct Montgomery Marathon in the Parks) and my time was pretty close to 5 hours. I want a sub-4. And if I can run a 5k the day before, bonus.
because I want to try again; I think being in a race/having a fixed goal & finish line at the end would help.

A wobble plate was installed on top of the lift because the metal housing requires manipulation during the re-installation process, and the wobble plate allows movement 1" horizontally in all four directions.
In terms of positioning the lift itself, it is manually pushed under the transit vehicles via a set of steel flanged wheels designed to move on 56 1/2" standard gauge track. This material handling solution could also be motorized or self-propelled, and could also be engineered to remove trucks (bogies), DMU engines etc.

A friend recently emailed asking if I say yes to every birthday party Alex is invited to—her son had just received invites to four classmate's parties over two weekends and she really didn't feel like giving up that much family time. I immediately wrote back, "Heck no." It's a tough call—particularly when your instinct is to always say yes—but I told her she didn't need to feel guilty about missing a kid party here and there. Then, to make her feel better, I shared the following un-pc reasons I have RSVPd no in the past.
- The party was during Alex's naptime and I knew he'd be a monster the rest of the day if he didn't sleep.
- It was at a creepy/dirty place that I didn't feel like hanging out in for an hour and a half.
- Alex doesn't sit still very well and the party was at a place that you have to sit still the entire time (great idea for a three-year-old party, huh?)
- The kid lives in a different school district so once pre-school is over they'll never see each other again and I just didn't feel like it was worth it.
- The invite annoyed me (it was a photo of the little girl dressed like a princess and the wording, which I won't get into in case the mom reads the blog but trust me it was over the top, screamed "I'm going to be a mean girl someday").
When you have a class of 20 kids, there can be a party every weekend and when you work during the week (or even if you're home), you really want/need/cherish that downtime with your kids. And if you have more than one kid, as my friend does, the logistical issues of which parent takes which kid where come into play. An entire day can be spent in birthday party transit. Not to mention those parties can be mind-numbing, particularly when you don't know the other parents. I should clarify that the parties I'm referring to are four and under and the kids are classmates that we don't know well. I also know that, at least in Alex's last school, all the kids get invited as a rule (we throw a family and close friends party for Alex every year rather than the invite-the-whole-class thing). So while I do try to take him to the parties I can, I don't feel incredibly guilty when we miss one. And we never miss one if we truly have nothing else to do (Alex does love a good party and I'd never deny him that). But this is pre-school we're talking about. We have lots of time to party with friends….and when my kids do get older and being at the party is more important (i.e., the kids talk it up at school), they will always be there.
Clearly I feel my friend's conflict. She wants to do the right thing, as we all do. I was raised by people who always do the right thing when it comes to showing up. If my parents are invited somewhere—anywhere—they go. Nick and I try to do the same—we've attended friend's weddings everywhere from Vermont to Vienna—but now that we have kids, sometimes it's just not in the cards. Sometimes something has to give and, in my book, it's OK if that something is a windowless room full of a blow-up bouncy castles.
What do you think? Do you go to every kid party you're invited to? What's the lamest reason you've used for RSVPing no? And here's a good question: If you're the one throwing the party, do you feel bad when kids--even the ones you don't know--RSVP no? My guess is yes (I throw a lot of parties and I love when everyone comes), which makes me want to scrap everything I just wrote. Crap. Here's hoping Alex doesn't get many invites this year because I guess we'll be going!

A study of Central Valley housing demand forecasts a shift from the mass construction of single-family homes to building many more apartments and condominiums.
A study of Central Valley housing demand forecasts a shift from the mass construction of single-family homes to building many more apartments and condominiums.
Commissioned by the Council of Infill Builders, the report found the region's existing stock of detached homes on lots of more than 6,000 square feet may be sufficient to meet demand through 2050. As a result, nearly half of all new housing built in coming years will be attached dwellings, said the report's author, Arthur C. Nelson, director of the Metropolitan Research Center at the University of Utah.
"For the Valley as a whole, what we're looking at is moving from about 30 percent attached housing forms in 2010 to 35 percent in 2050," Nelson said. "To get there, it means about 45 percent of all new housing built will be some kind of attached, whether owned or rented."
The shift is being driven by changing demographics. There's a growing population of aging seniors who will be looking for smaller, more manageable housing, as well as a younger populace who also will seek smaller housing or can't afford larger, detached homes.
It won't be a sudden, dramatic change. Single-family homes will continue to constitute the majority of new housing, but the percentage of attached projects will grow.
"We're kind of looking at a slow, glacial change over time for the Valley," Nelson said.
In addition, the demand for smaller-lot, single-family homes within walking distance of jobs and shopping is strong and growing, the report said.
"We need to end sprawling development patterns in order to ease the financial burden on local governments and capture the next wave of housing demand," said David Mogavero, a Council of Infill Builders board member and Sacramento real estate developer and architect.
The construction of single-family homes on large lots in subdivisions far from city centers was fostered by a combination of federal housing and transportation policies; the availability of cheap gasoline and the automobile; and state and local programs, such as building new schools instead of investing in existing schools in old neighborhoods.
As a result, Mogavero said, "Stockton has suffered literally from 50 to 60 years of sprawl."
But there are certainly opportunities to turn that around, he added.
Mogavero, who has worked on projects in Stockton and recently toured the city looking for infill development opportunities, said local policies aimed at fostering such projects could include using transportation funding to create more bicycle lanes and "bulb-out" curb extensions at intersections to increase pedestrian safety and encourage walking.
He was particularly struck by Stockton's Magnolia District, which Mogavero described as "a classic early 20th century, late 19th century community, built around people walking."
"Some reinvestment in the Magnolia District would be great to improve traffic safety in that neighborhood," he said
A focus on infill development could be accomplished with only minor changes to zoning and development regulations, the proponents argue. That would foster the redevelopment of low-density urban and suburban centers and transform existing commercial buildings and vacant land.
"The result will be more efficient use of land and less farmland lost to development," an Infill Builders statement said.

Growth Model Work Group narrows decision to two
South Dakotas Growth Model Work Group is down to the final two models, and most members say they would be comfortable with either model being adapted for use in South Dakota.
The Residual Gain Model is used by Minnesota, but not a lot of other states, and while its simpler and easier to explain, the method is not as sensitive. The Student Growth Percentiles Model is used by Colorado and several other states.
The two models have several similarities, and Shelley Billig, with REL Central, says while the results will likely look similar, the math behind them is different.
Group members expressed concerns about the sensitivity of the results especially when it comes to smaller schools and groups that might be on the bubble so to speak. The group opted to run data sets through each system before making a recommendation based on the final two options.

NEW YORK (AP) — A new study finds more U.S. Latinos are leaving the Roman Catholic Church.
The Pew Research Center says the share of Latinos in the United States who say they're Catholic has dropped 12 percentage points since 2010. Most of those who left Catholicism either joined evangelical Protestant churches or left organized religion altogether.
It's not all bad news for the Catholic Church.
Fifty-five percent of the nation's Latinos still consider themselves Catholic. Latinos now make up about one-third of all adult Catholics in the U.S. And even with the losses, the U.S. church is expected to become majority Hispanic because the overall Latino population is still growing.
Still, large numbers are leaving the Catholic fold.
The survey of more than 5,100 adults was conducted a year ago and released Wednesday.

Sarah Buie, M.F.A.
Professor Emerita and Research Scholar, Department of Visual and Performing Arts B.A., Wellesley College, 1971 M.F.A., Yale University, 1978.
Director, Northeast Cluster, Humanities for the Environment (CHCI/Mellon grant)
Director, Mindful Choices initiative (Mellon grant)
Phone: (508) 793-7560
Email: email@example.com
Clark University, Worcester, MA 01610-1477
Professor Buie received a BA from Wellesley College in art history (1971) and an MFA in graphic design from Yale University (1978). She has been at Clark since 1981.
Professional work
Sarah Buie is Senior Associate / Past Director of the Higgins School of Humanities, and Professor of graphic design in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. She served as Director of the Higgins School from 2004 to 2012.
While at Higgins, Buie initiated the expansion of the School's physical spaces to Dana Commons, launched and directed the Difficult Dialogues initiative with funding from the Ford Foundation, received a major grant from the Mellon Foundation for innovative campus-wide initiatives, and co-founded an international network on Humanities and the Environment through the CHCI.
She co-founded the Difficult Dialogues initiative at Clark, funded by a major grant from the Ford Foundation; she directed the initiative for seven years. Innovations include dialogue symposia, dialogue seminars, courses taught with a DD emphasis throughout the curriculum (now over thirty each semester), the DD undergraduate fellows program, the publication of Inviting Dialogue (an account of the DD initiative), and a regional Inviting Dialogue conference. She continues to serve on the DD executive committee, and teaches a dialogue seminar almost every semester.
She led a widely collaborative planning effort for Humanities Present, a proposal for major funding submitted to the A.W. Mellon Foundation; in 2012, the School received a $600,000 grant from Mellon to support dialogic public programming, faculty fellowships, and innovative team-teaching (The New Commons), an arts-based curriculum initiative (Mindful Choices), three faculty research collaboratives, and core support for the humanities center. She currently directs the Mindful Choices initiative, a guided, intensive arts immersion experience in which students engage in creative practice and critical reflection as they consider their future commitments and direction.
During her Directorship, Buie served on the Advisory Board of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) for four years, and co-founded, with Sally Kitch of ASU, the Humanities for the Environment (HfE) initiative of the CHCI. Through the CHCI, that network received a grant of $600,000 from the Mellon Foundation to further collaborative work on the environmental humanities between humanities centers internationally.
As Director of the Northeast Cluster of that project, she is convening a Council on the Uncertain Human Future in relationship to climate change over the course of 2014. For further information, see the project webpage here.
The Higgins School moved to its current home in Dana Commons during her tenure, providing it with a public event space, and making an ongoing exhibition program possible as well. The power of design (through publications, posters, exhibitions, campus installations, interior spaces) to create community and facilitate conversation and learning was a significant dimension of her work at Higgins.
As an award-winning museum exhibition designer for 25 years, she designed more than 100 exhibitions for art, natural history and history museums, including the Yale University Art Gallery, the RISD Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Wadsworth Athenaeum, the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, New Delhi, and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, among others.
She has studied the design of traditional sacred architecture in Nepal, India, Tibet, Bhutan and Japan, and teaches and writes on Sacred Space, with spatial archetypes as a guide to holistic understandings of our relationship to the environment; the course was initially developed for Clark's Environmental School, and has been taught in the graduate program at Rhode Island School of Design. The current version of the course (2014) incorporates the threat of climate change as a central thread. Buie is at work on an anthology developed from the course.
She serves on the board of the Public Conversations Project in Watertown, MA.
Selected Exhibitions
Art for Yale, Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut, 2001
From Paris to Providence, Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, Rhode Island, 2001

Police say death threat made in cemetery gate theftBy BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Union Leader
August 22. 2013 9:25PM
HAVERHILL — A 33-year-old Rumney man has been indicted for allegedly stealing a cemetery gate in Plymouth in 2010 and threatening to kill his alleged lookout in that crime if she testified against him.
A Grafton County Superior Court grand jury indicted Justin MacDonald on charges of being an accomplice to theft by unauthorized taking and being an accomplice to interference with a cemetery or burial ground, both on Aug. 25, 2010, in Plymouth.
The grand jury, during its August session, also handed up a third indictment against MacDonald for tampering with a witness, between November and December 2011, in an unspecified location in Grafton County.
MacDonald "purposely cut up" a gate at Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Plymouth three years ago while Angie Beecher, no address listed, "acted as the lookout for him," according to the indictments.
Beecher was previously indicted in the case.
MacDonald later attempted "to cause Angie Beecher to testify falsely before the grand jury. He threatened to kill Angie Beecher if she said anything about his involvement in the theft of the cemetery gate," according to the indictments.
The charges do not state how MacDonald allegedly disposed of the gate. A number of instances of such thefts in recent years, however, have involved thieves selling iron cemetery gates to scrap metal dealers for cash.
At its March session, the grand jury indicted Beecher on charges of being an accomplice to theft by unauthorized taking and being an accomplice to interference in a cemetery or burial ground. Her case is pending, a court spokesman said Thursday.
The value of the Pleasant Valley Cemetery gate was estimated at between $1,000 and $1,500, according to the indictments.
The grand jury, meeting at the North Haverhill Court, handed up its indictments Aug. 16. They were made public Aug. 20. The three counts against MacDonald are all Class B felonies

Jan. 23, 2013 USA Today
WASHINGTON -- There's a new mystery in a murder case that gripped the nation's capital a decade ago.
Federal prosecutors and lawyers for the man convicted of murdering 24-year-old former congressional intern Chandra Levy have met twice since December for secret court hearings about new information that could undercut the testimony of a prosecution witness. The court has closed off the hearings to public view — on one occasion locking the courtroom doors — and has ordered that legal filings be sealed.
Whatever the problem is, it is serious enough that lawyers for the Justice Department and Ingmar Guandique, the man convicted two years ago of killing Levy, have agreed to put his appeal on hold until it is sorted out. Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher has summoned Guandique to appear at a Feb. 7 court hearing.
Gannett, parent company of USA TODAY, and three other news organizations — the Associated Press, The Washington Post and McClatchy Co. — asked Fisher on Wednesday to unseal the records. The Levy case records should be open to public inspection under the First Amendment, the organizations' lawyer, Patrick Carome, said in a court filing.
Levy disappeared in 2001. But the mystery of what happened to her became a national spectacle when media reports said she had been having an affair with then-congressman Gary Condit of California. Condit was cleared of any involvement in her death, but he was ousted from Congress in a primary election in 2002.

Photography by Lynn Glenewinkel Some people think the cowboy way of life has disappeared from the prairiesgone forever with the cattle drives and steam locomotives. But those people must not be from Texas, or they would know better. Coming from a long line of cattle ranchers in the plains of South Central Texas, the family of John and Nancy Cook are living proof that the life of a full time cowboy is a full and happy one, a busy one, and a blessing.
Many Texans today still make their living as cattle ranchers. On the gentle hills around Nixon, Texas (pop. 1,990), the Cook family has lived and worked for over one hundred years, and since 1947 John and Nancy have run cattle on their 5,400 acre ranch. The Nixon newspaper is even called the Cow County Courier. We dont have anything fancy here: just nuts and bolts ranching, says John with a shrug. And lots of cattle. I guess weve got about 800-1,000 head right now, says this seasoned Texas cowboy whose cool blue eyes match his denim work shirt. That number depends on how many sales hes been to. He says hes just going to check out prices and not gonna buy anything, and then he comes home with a trailer full of cattle, says his wife, Nancy. The Nixon Livestock Auction is held every Monday morning, and it is marvelous to behold the cattle and the cowboys breathing in the excitement of the auction and the fresh morning air. Having raised four children, enjoying 10 grandchildren, and two great grandchildren, the Cooks will tell you that, while their family is their whole life, cattle ranching is too. All the kids are involved in one way or another. We get everyone together about twice a year to help pen the cattle, work the babies, cut out what we want to sell, load them up, and ship them out. But thats just everyday life for us, says John. First, theres the branding all the cattle and the ear marking of all the calves. (That helps us keep inventory, explains John), and then theres the hard work of keeping the cattle fed throughout the winter when theres not enough grass to graze. Of course, theres also the necessary and sometimes difficult task of rounding up the animals, vaccinating them, and making sure theyre all healthy. Then there are the dogs and horses that need care and feeding, as well as the constant maintenance of fences, tractors, trucks, and farm equipment. Be assured, keeping it all running smoothly is no small feat. But is the cowboy life still like we remember from the movies? Surprisingly enough, it is! We still ride horses and gather the cattle like we used to in the past, says John. Ive been riding since I was five years old. I aint gonna quit. Everybody I know that quits or retires just gives up and dies, and I aint ready to die. So I aint quitting, says John with rugged resolve and determination. All my kids and grandkids ride, too, and my great grandkids have even started riding, says John. His wife Nancy is the only one who doesnt ride, but if she wanted to she could since they only have ten horses on the ranch right now. The Cooks business is a cow-calf operation. They raise cross-bred Brahman-Brangus cattle and Angus-Charolais bulls. Then, about twice a year, in the late winter and early fall, Cook takes them to auction. I sell most of them here, but I ship some direct every once in a while, explains John. Cattle ranching is a good way of life. You have to like it or youd have to do something else. You could work 8-5 in some other job and come home and be done with it, but not this one. Its really dawn to dusk work, and even in the middle of the night you have to get out of bed if the county sheriff calls you because your cows got in the road, says John. But I love this life: its all Ive really ever done, and all Ill ever do. So what is the typical day in the life of a Texas cowboy? Well, Ive been getting up early, around four a.m., most all my life. Im never in bed later than five, says John without complaint. One of the sweetest and most telling things about the 55 year marriage of John and Nancy is that every morning he lets her sleep in while he makes her breakfast. I get up a little after five; that way he fixes it for me, smiles Nancy. Then John is out the door. Every morning, I go to town to the Main Street Drug Store for daylight coffee with my buddies. We get our worldly events all solved. Its kind of a habit before the world wakes up, he says. Then John is back at the ranch getting the work underway. I get the boys off [his son-in- law and the hired hands that work the ranch] to do what needs to be done. Theyll feed the cattle, put out hay, and work on a fence just whatever it takes. The day passes quickly as they rebuild pens and do general maintenance on the whole area. They also do 90% of the water well work that needs to be done. We have five wells on the property, and they always need attention, says John. As Nancy says, This work entails things most people dont even think about. A cowboy has to be half veterinarian, half feed man, half babysitter, and all that kind of stuff, says John. We try to get most of the calves birthed by the first of January and ready to sell by July. The weather, like extreme drought, can throw your breeding season off, and it takes a while to get it back on cycle, he explains, And of course you have to worm the cattle about twice a year, too. You have to put them through chutes and tag them, ad you have to vaccinate every new calf that hits the ground. Theres just a whole lot to do. Then we try to sell them at a 600 pound average. I do not like to sell light weight calves. But what do cattle go for these days at auction? I saw young cows sell today anywhere from $1,000 to $1,600. Black bald-faced calves, pretty classy ones, take a minimum of three years to pay for. I figure I have to have $400 a head on my sale of a calf to break evenjust to pay for its upkeep. They are expensive these days: it is very unusual to have a wet year and high prices all at the same time. If the weather is good, grass grows and you dont have to spend so much on feed, but the cattle prices have been high lately, says John. The Cooks son-in-law Sam Henderson shakes his head in agreement. He, too, understands the expense and hard work involved in running a successful cattle ranch: Youre married to the work, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It has its advantages and disadvantages, good and bad, says Sam. Of course theres all the paperwork they have to do, too, explains Nancy. There are records you have to keep straight, things you have to give your accountant in order to tell you what you owe the Government. Not old fashioned or out of touch in the least, John (who is 74 years young) keeps up with his calves, checks their tags, and stores all ranch information on his computer. Well, we had a few choice words come out while we tried to learn a computer. My son ran over here a few days and nights to help us out, admits John. Not shy of new technology, John admits that sometimes since his heart surgery last year, he uses his red pick up truck and honks his horn to gather in the cattle that way. The majority of them know that horn and come in that way for food. Others are more stubborn and need the horses to bring them in. When they have to feed the cattle, they use coastal hay that theyve grown themselves for their own use. Horses arent the only animals cowboys depend on when rounding up the cattle. Cow dogs are indispensable: I wouldnt go out to pasture with out them. It would just be a waste of time, says John.
One good cow dog is worth three men, and one bad one makes for a long day, chuckles Sam. We have hog dogs, too. We have a real problem with wild hogs. They really make your pastures rough by digging it all up. The kids get a kick out of hunting them, but the hogs still just multiply too fast, says John. We use the dogs to chase them so we can catch them. Its not so elegant to watch: we just turn them lose and they go nuts. Cook, who is the past director of the Independent Cattle Association of Texas, is now on the Cattleman Beef Board, appointed to that seat by the Secretary of Agriculture, and he has served five of a six year term. He is also involved in the National Cattlemens Beef Association conferences. The boards work is important. For example when the mad cow disease thing was going around, we were able to work to get the word out and get information to ranchers. It stopped a lot of confusion and misinformation and helped us get over that crisis very quickly, explains John. Some cattle ranches have deer leases and hunting packages to help sustain them. But even though some Texas ranchers have other sources of income, there are still many who make the cowboy way of life their whole life. There are still a lot of people just like ustheyre out there working the cattle, and thats the way they live, says John. We love it and wouldnt trade this life for anything.

DENVER (AP) — Olympic champion swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen plans to undergo rehabilitation for her severed spine at a suburban Denver hospital.
Van Dyken-Rouen plans to be transferred sometime next week to Craig Hospital, which specializes in spinal cord injuries. Her husband, former Denver Broncos punter Tom Rouen, told The Denver Post (http://bit.ly/1loXCy7 ) that she may still need to undergo a second surgery at the Scottsdale, Arizona, hospital where she has been since she was injured in an all-terrain vehicle crash Friday night.
Tom Rouen says the family doesn't know if she will be paralyzed, saying "we're going to take it day by day."
Van Dyken-Rouen remains upbeat in her Twitter posts. On Thursday morning, after spending most of the night undergoing an MRI, she joked "Yes, I have a brain!"

Allergan to cut 1,500 employees in restructuring
Botox maker Allergan will cut about 13 percent of its workforce as part of a push to become more efficient while it fights a hostile takeover bid from Valeant Pharmaceuticals.
The Irvine, California, company said Monday it plans to trim about 1,500 employees and around 250 vacant positions as it restructures to focus on its "highest value opportunities."
Allergan said its restructuring will yield annual pretax savings of about $475 million in 2015. It announced the cuts the same day it said second-quarter results trumped analyst expectations, as earnings grew 16 percent to $417.2 million.
"Today's results demonstrate that we're clearly on the right path," Chairman and CEO David Pyott told analysts during a conference call. "The actions announced today will only accelerate our trajectory."
Allergan Inc. has rejected several takeover attempts from Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. and activist investor Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management. The latest amounts to about $53 billion in cash and stock.
Valeant has promised cost-cutting and savings of its own if the two companies combine. Ackman, whose company owns a 9.7 percent stake in Allergan, told CNBC that shareholders had been asking for Allergan cost-cutting for some time. He said the reductions that the company announced Monday amounted to "cutting out fat you should have cut out a long time ago."
"Allergan can only achieve so much as a stand-alone company," he said.
Ackman has lined up nominees for Allergan's board, and Pershing Square wants to hold a special meeting where Allergan shareholders can have a say in the buyout bid and on the company's direction.
Allergan, which also makes the dry-eye treatment Restasis, has adopted a "poison pill" measure to block a takeover. Pyott said Monday that Valeant's offer was "so far away from the intrinsic value of this company" that there was no reason for the drugmakers to have substantive talks.
Allergan and Valeant have feuded publicly over the possible takeover since April. In the latest twist, Valeant said Monday it has complained to both the Securities and Exchange Commission and authorities in the Canadian province of Quebec, where it is based, that Allergan has been making false statements about its business even though Valeant has publicly corrected it.
Valeant said the latest example of these statements involves the performance of contact lens maker Bausch + Lomb, which Valeant acquired last year.
"We can no longer tolerate unjustified attacks on Valeant's business and strongly believe we are obligated to take action to protect Valeant shareholders from Allergan's apparent attempts to mislead investors and manipulate the market for Valeant stock," Valeant Chairman and CEO J. Michael Pearson said in a statement from the company.
An Allergan spokesman responded by email that the company stood by its comments.
"We call on Valeant to report complete and transparent details on its business on an ongoing basis," the spokesman said. "At the end of the day, investors will make their own decisions."
The drugmaker also said on Monday that it raised its forecast for adjusted 2014 earnings to between $5.74 and $5.80 per share from a range of $5.64 to $5.73 that it predicted in May. It expects Botox to deliver net sales ranging from $2.2 billion to $2.28 billion.
Botox is known best for its ability to smooth frown lines on aging foreheads, but it also is approved to treat neck spasms, eye muscle disorders, migraines and other conditions.
Shares of Allergan climbed 2.3 percent, or $3.90, to $171.30 Monday afternoon, while U.S.-traded shares of Valeant also were up 3 percent, or $3.69, to $125.66.

It frustrates me to see a team that can play excellent football, play in a poor way. It also frustrates me to see a team reach the final even though the majority of their matches were poor and uninspiring.
Shame too, I really liked (and supported) them in 2006.

But quite honestly, they haven't impressed even a fraction as much as the so far unbeatable and almost flawless spain (minus the tough match against the very defensive sweden) who are also very strong unit as a team but have a huge advantage in their quality of players that is miles above that of the germans.
If you go through the players individually and match them up no sane person can deny spain is a much more fitting european champion. Form of the day and luck are always factors, but for a fitting european champion that inspires with both quality as well as teamwork and mentality, Spain is the obvious choice.
So yes, for the sake of the game, I'm saying Spain is going to win with at least 2 goals difference.

You think I'm not frustrated as well? I will concede on this as this argument is getting ridiculous, but it still doesn't justify you guys slacking off the Germans as being "bad for football". I would be less offended if you said "For the sake of the game, I hope France/Italy/Greece or anyone who plays their style doesn't win". To slack off the Germans for trying to be adventurous despite having "low quality" players is ridiculous.
BTW, why am I doing the defending for the Germans? I'm not even German. Where are you guys from Germany? You gonna sit still and let your team get slacked like that?

No doubt about it, the best team by far won it.
This is a victory to football, for me personally, that's how i see it.
The most talented team by a longshot has won, i don't think there's really room for debate on that, both by numbers as well as performance on the field.
This is what happens when talent is combined with teamwork and spirit, you get an almost flawless champion. A champion that seemed to take pity on Germany by only scoring 1 goal where it could or should've been 4 or 5. Not even the Germans can play like shit 4 out of 6 games and win a tournament, thank god for that.

The better team won, there's no argument about it.
Delighted to see Torres score the winning goal, even though he didn't score a lot this tournament, he can score when you want him to. (I'm also quite relieved he came out of this tournament in one-piece. )
Amazed at Michael Ballack's unenviable destiny, he's fated to be an Eternal Runner-up. Germany might do better without him next time. Poor guy.
Zico: I still don't agree with you about your "victory for football" statement. Spain's victory is a "spectacle for football" maybe, but it's not the Germans' fault that they were inferior to Spain tonight, and they do not play anti-football and actually tried to surge in that short moment of time after Kuranyi came on.

Here is listed Ballack's "amazing" Runners-up record:
1. 2000 - Bayer Leverkusen - Bundesliga 2nd
2. 2002 - Bayer Leverkusen - Bundesliga 2nd
3. 2002 - Bayer Leverkusen - German Cup 2nd
4. 2002 - Bayer Leverkusen - UEFA Champions League 2nd
5. 2002 - Germany - FIFA World Cup 2nd
6. 2004 - Bayern Munich - Bundesliga 2nd
7. 2007 - Chelsea - Premier League 2nd
8. 2008 - Chelsea - English League Cup 2nd
9. 2008 - Chelsea - Premier League 2nd
10. 2008 - Chelsea - UEFA Champions League 2nd
11. 2008 - Germany - Euro 2008 2nd
To be fair to the guy, he did win at least one Bundesliga just before he left for Chelsea, and last year's FA Cup with Chelsea, but his tally of Runners-up medals simply overwhelm these achievements.

Lol, was anyone watching at the last few seconds of the time added, when the German and Spanish guys jumped for the ball and when the Spanish guy headbutted, the German guy major-faked getting hurt? Lol... Soccer players.. It's getting repetitive, no?
Oh, and I was always wondering.. Since Soccer = Football in Europe, what's Football (American) = in European terms?

I was pulling for Germany today, my hopes and dreams crushed with a goal that shouldn't even of happened... (Well to be fair to Spain there like 3 other goals they should've got anyway >.<).
Now Rafael Nadal is going to be pumped up for tennis at Wimbledon since Spain won. God!

But people tend to call everything (American) Football, no matter what it really is(Rugby, Canadian Football,..) probably because the majority isn't really interested and therefore everything is the same to them. The only exception is the American Superbowl, then suddenly we even have Superbowl-Parties and stuff but just a few watch the Play-Offs. Our local (american) football leagues aren't much popular either, I guess their level is quite low and far away from American/Canadian standards. Maybe the Brits have a better league since they have some relationship?

Nursing, pumping, cloth-diapering, babywearing, working professor mama with the awesomest SAHD ever.
Thanks Auderey! yesterday wasn't quite as great, they were both a little sleepier but gained 8g and 18g and I stayed ahead. I can't wait to get them home and nurse them more and pump less.
Nursed my sweet daughter 3 years, 3 mos.
Congratulations on the twins! I had twin girls born at 34w 4d in April and one spent 20 days in the NICU (feeder and grower) and I know how hard it is to commute back and forth, nurse, pump and everything else. What I can tell you is that once my milk came in I noticed that my pumping output would increase every day. I judged it on my 3:30am pumping session and the first time I did it, I got something like 2 ounces and the next night 3 and on and on. Now I can get up to 10-12 total in just that one session. It just takes time. I also was super scared my NICU baby would run out of milk, but again, over time as I made more and nursed the baby who was at home, I started going up in production. Don't stress about it. Your body will make the milk it needs for the twins. Just try to rest some (you need it!), stay hydrated and focus on the good. The babies will be home before you know it!!!
Thank you. I have been about an ounce short yesterday and today and it makes me nervous that they'll run out of milk. I pumped 24 oz yesterday and am nursing them both 5x/day.
They have their car seat test tomorrow repeated, they failed it Monday. If they pass it they can come home if not we'll have even longer to wait. I'm just so exhausted and ready for our family to be together at home.
Nursed my sweet daughter 3 years, 3 mos.
congrats on the babies!! you are doing so much and you are doing awesome!!
what is the car seat test?
Thank you!
They monitor them for 2.5 hrs in their car seat and see what their breathing does while sitting in it. It's harder for them than just lying in their cribs. They both have problems with their breathing related to being premature. They've been on room air since birth but still have periodic breathing and sometimes their oxygen saturation levels drop during that.
Nursed my sweet daughter 3 years, 3 mos.
ok, so i get wanting to make sure their breathing is good. but OMG 2.5 HOURS in a car seat?? i had no idea! what is the rationale behind that?
Nursing, pumping, cloth-diapering, babywearing, working professor mama with the awesomest SAHD ever.
Some babies don't do as well sitting upright and there have been babies who have been OK and then dead by the time they reach their destination so now all preemies need to be tested on car seat tolerance.
They both passed and we are home, thank God! Now I'm nursing them not on a 3 hr schedule and it's great. They can also sleep together which is awesome since they couldn't in the hospital.
I see my IBCLC tomorrow and am renting a scale. They are both above their birth wt and have been gaining really well this week.
Nursed my sweet daughter 3 years, 3 mos.
awesome news that you are home!!!!

Business Intelligence Slideshow: What Your CFO Is Not Telling You

It's easy to view your Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as a one-person "Department of No." While you're busy brainstorming with your teams to come up with innovative ways to use technology and improve your organization, your CFO is zeroed-in on budgets and fiscal accountability. The CIO often pursues the unknown, while the CFO's job is all about determining what IS known. With that in mind, CIO Insight has worked with two CFOs to develop this list of seven things your CFO is not telling you, plus three pointers on how you can improve your working relationship. Contributing to this effort are: Tom Crawford, a former CFO who is now senior vice president overseeing North American operations for Microgen; and Greg Baker, CFO at Logicalis. Microgen is a software company that produces business-process platform technology for companies in finance, digital media, energy and other sectors. Logicalis is an international provider of integrated information and communications technology (ICT) solutions.

Dear all,
This is a amazing forum, which has answered most of my queries. I am almost addicted to this forum, just reading other mom's experiences has boosted my conviction to breast feed.
I am a first-time mom to my little girl who is 3 wks and a day old. we chose on exclusive breastfeeding, following a normal vaginal birth.
First we had latch on problems for the first two days after birth, luckily i was in the hospital and the nurses and LC helped me resolve that issue.
But once we got home, we have been having this problem of her falling asleep at my breast within few minutes (sometimes 2-3 mins) of putting her to my breast. My LC suggested that i keep changing breasts every few minutes to avoid her falling asleep. But i had cracked nipples by then, so changing every few minutes meant every few minutes of severe pain.
Also since she falls asleep, she never feels full. She wakes up as soon as i put her down and starts giving early hunger cues. I am frustrated at not being able to fill my littleone's tummy.
Is there something i can do (other than changing breasts every few minutes). My niiples have not healed completely. Having her suck on them constantly just aggravates the pain. I also had the LC check for thrush, which she said we both didnt have.
The other problem is that due to constant feeding, my breasts feel so soft and i never feel them full of milk, so i am worried if my milk supply is low. Or since my breasts are not full, the milk flow is slow. Is that the reason she falls asleep??
During all her weight checks she gained the required amount of weight. She was 8lbs and 15 oz at birth, lost about a pound in first three days and gained that weight in little less than two weeks. she has the required number of wet and dirty diapers.
The only problem is she not feeling full. Any suggestions ??
