It would appear that the Prime Minister of India - Manmohan Singh, and the ruling Congress party leader Sonia Gandhi have joined forces with the most dreaded force known to man - Lawyers, and are now vying for the title of 'The Biggest Puddle of Santorum in India'.ReplyDelete
Maybe Santorum Americanus should join forces with Santorum Indicum and jointly sue the likes of Google, Yahoo, and Facebook. We can call it 'The Grand Santorum Technicum'!
Yeah, good luck with that.
I almost forgot to say, Mmmm... frothy!
That's funny? Who's the dirty smudge on the tea room wall who wrote it?ReplyDelete
first off your interns should chill out at airports and not expect us to stop airplanes just because you are getting on it saying you are the next president. does not work that way. we run the apron not some smoooocher intern.ReplyDelete

Townhall's Shapiro: Obama "Mince[s] About Like A Coed," Suffers From "Psychological Condition"
The bar is pretty high [1], but Townhall's Ben Shapiro may have outdone himself with his latest anti-Obama screed [2]:
Obama is the "Girls Gone Wild" president: Stick a lens in front of him and he'll take off his shirt, mince about like a coed, and babble nonsensical nothings to an audience oddly fascinated by his antics.
Wow. That's pretty bad. The verb "mince" is often used as an anti-gay pejorative [3].
Shapiro then goes on to diagnose the president with what he claims is "clearly a psychological condition," presumably drawing on the extensive psychiatric expertise he developed by staying in a Holiday Inn Express last night:
Obama's desperate need for attention is clearly a psychological condition. He drinks in applause like a washed-up movie star. It is usual for neglected children to develop narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), typically characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a strong sense of entitlement, preoccupations with utopian fantasies, elitism, manipulative tendencies and pathological need for praise.
President Obama was abandoned by his parents during childhood. Now he exhibits the textbook symptoms of NPD. He thinks his powers are godlike in import; "I have a gift, Harry," Obama once told Sen. Harry Reid. He believes he is entitled to positions of power and prestige. He has never worked a real job in his life, yet deigns to tell the rest of us that he embodies our hopes and dreams.
Yeah, it's so weird that the President of the United States thinks he's "entitled to positions of power and prestige"! (Or maybe, as President, Obama simply holds a position of power and prestige?) Sadly, running the executive branch of government for the most powerful nation on earth isn't a "real job," according to Townhall columnist Ben Shapiro, whose bio notes he is also "a regular guest on dozens of radio shows around the United States and Canada."

I will describe the situation and some of the problems that we have currently:
- l10n nightlies happen in old dedicated machines instead of running in generic buildslaves. This means if the machine fails, there are no nightlies at all. (Read more about inconveniences of not using generic machines in John O'Duinn's blog)
- l10n nightlies are not been kept in our servers (unless I am mistaken); for each locale the only one build available is the "latest" one (latest-trunk-l10n, latest-Mozilla1.8-l10n) which gets overwritten every night. By being "kept" means that we don't keep the l10n build of a specific day, even though in the tinderbox's log you always get a URL, to grab the file (log, e.g. nightly/2008-05-17-09-trunk-l10n)
- The previous might be a desired effect, since l10n repackages are not computational costly but storing them it is, all you have to do to get an l10n build is ... ... ... ... ... (I am sorry, it is not that straight forward). I have written this past Friday a little script that does some parts of that process for an specific locale, in this case, "af" (--->create locale script<---). The mozconfig used from the source code has an l10n tag (There are 4 tags: l10n, l10n_release, MOZILLA_1_8_l10n, MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH_l10n_release). From running the previous script, I obtain the "af" .dmg file (inside of browser/dist) and the af.xpi (browser/dist/install/mac-xpi), which are the files that I want for a mac
- We want to make l10n repacks to happen in such way that can be scalable. Currently it works like this (which is not scalable):
- We do a "make configure"
- Download all locales
- Download from nightly/latest-trunk the latest en-US archive file (Isn't it dangerous to download something that can be overwritten while downloading it??)
- Do the repack for all locales (~1min per locale)
- After that, we upload all locales
- A better way would be to break this down by 1) creating a locale 2) upload it and 3) announce it. This would allow to do l10n repackaging in parallel which would be a great improvement
- This would also allows to generate "just" one locale if needed. Right now, we have to generate all of them even if we just want one
I don't want to prolong this by explaining how the l10n repackaging works currently but I will do so when we file this week the bug that will cover this project and will allow more discussion
NOTE = Just FYI we do l10n repackages when we have releases in the automation system instead of using the old tinder client machines and is just slightly different by using Bootstrap/Step/Repack.pm

Search the collection database.
The museum's small but wide-ranging collection of antiquities run from Egyptian reliefs and Assyrian fragments to Cycladic idols and Roman gods. Included in the collection are Cycladic, Greek, Roman, Assyrian, and Egyptian works from as early as the third millennium B.C. The museum's Luristan bronzes are particularly noted for their quality and significance.
An Egyptian limestone relief dating from the 6th dynasty and said to be from the tomb chapel of Ni'ankhnesut at Saqqara, a falcon mummy case, and other animal forms associated with burial offerings hint at the power of Egyptian royal art and the pursuit of eternal life while Babylonian, Sumerian, and Assyrian cuneiform tablets and cylinder seals dating from as early as the third millennium B.C. address the beginning of writing in the Western world. Roman works include a floor mosaic from Daphne, a luxurious garden suburb of Antioch near the present-day border between Turkey and Syria, and a powerful nude torso of a man and a finely featured head of a satyr sensitively carved in luminous white marble.

No. 4: Anthony Silva in the news.
It started in 2012, when Anthony Silva swept into the office of mayor of Stockton in a stunning upset of incumbent Ann Johnston, with Silva winning by nearly a 2-1 ratio.
Controversy seems to swirl around him, though, as his first year in office has been as stunning as his ascension to it.
Police have investigated several of his associates, and at least one investigation into the mayor's actions is still open. And there have been public spats with his colleagues on the City Council.
One close associate, Guy Hatch, resigned from his position on the Boys and Girls Club board after inappropriate photos surfaced of him pretending to clutch young men's genitals.
Silva offered an alternative policing plan to one that had been worked on for nearly a year before withdrawing his plan in order to keep from confusing voters, who were being asked to pass a tax to finance the plan. The tax was approved.
Although he had promised while running for mayor to refuse his salary and maintain his job as CEO of the Stockton Boys & Girls Club, he decided partway through 2013 to accept his mayor's salary, donating some of it to charities and his own gun buy-back program.
Later in the year, he resigned from the Boys & Girls Club, but not before it gained some heavy oversight from the national body and at least one email sent to his friends on the large board surfaced where he called for the board to jettison some members he deemed hostile and explained that he didn't seek some funds from the national body because he feared an audit.
The national body ended up pulling the charter from the Stockton club.
The mayor has received strong public support at council meetings, however, and he has maintained that he is the subject of a witch hunt.

Good balance and strength help decrease the risk of falling
According to the Center for Disease Control, each year, one in every three adults age 65 and older falls. Falling can cause moderate to serious injuries, including head injuries and hip fractures, and can increase the risk of dying.
"When an elderly person falls, they are more likely to be injured," says Dr. Roy Adair, chairman and medical director of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
Their protective reflexes are slower, as opposed to someone younger, making it harder to prevent injury from afall. A younger person will be able to "go with the flow" with a fall versus taking the full force on the head or the arm for example.
"The musculoskeletal system changes with age resulting in loss of strength, decreased flexibility and slowing of reflexes," adds Adair. "This occurs gradually at about a 1 percent loss of measured ability per year."
The good news is falls in many instances are preventable.
"It is important to realize that balance is a skill that can be trained and improved," says Adair. "Physiatrists are trained to evaluate functional abilities and recommend treatment to address the deficits identified. An assessment may result in recommendations for home exercises to increase balance or referral to a physical therapist for a more aggressive and monitored program to improve strength and balance."
Get with the program
This health problem is of concern to anyone who works with the senior community, especially continuing care residential communities known as CCRCs. Fortunately, some of them are addressing these issues head on through on-site programs tailored to their residents. Two such communities are GreenFields of Geneva and Senior Star at Weber Place in Romeoville.
"As we age, fitness is especially important to staying healthy and active so that we're able to complete every day activities and enjoy our hobbies," says Judi Donovan, GreenFields' executive director. "There is a strong correlation between strength and balance, both of which in turn help tremendously in terms of fall prevention."
GreenFields utilizes a tool called Senior LIFEsteps that evaluates where people are at in terms of activities of daily living. AJ Alfrey, exercise physiologist of Alliance Rehab (the on-site rehab/exercise provider at GreenFields), invites every resident to participate in this assessment, which checks balance, gait, physical ability, endurance and agility. Alfrey also invites each resident to tour the fitness center during which time he explains the programs and classes. He then develops an individual fitness program for their specific needs and goals. The residents are re-assessed after 12 weeks of participating in the designated program.
Alfrey says that as we age, we tend to lose lower body mass more quickly than upper body mass, which raises our center of gravity and makes us top heavy. "It's very important to work on lower body and core strength in order to help reduce the risk of falling," he adds. "Our legs obviously support the rest of our body, so having strong legs makes our base of support stronger."
Alfrey says he is able to modify a fitness program for any physical limitation or disability. "We encourage everyone to exercise," he says.
Confidence builder
Senior Star recently established a "Falling Stars" program for the independent and assisted living residents in all 10 of its retirement communities across the U.S. including Weber Place in Romeoville.
"Good balance and strength are important as they promote good circulation, prevent muscle atrophy, and assist with ambulation," says Nate Wolf, assistant executive director at Senior Star at Weber Place. "The more a person moves around, the more confident they feel and it helps them maintain their independence."
Acknowledging that balance is a growing, worrisome issue as people age, all residents at the community are offered an in-house complimentary fall/balance screen performed by Legacy Health Services. Anyone who could use strengthening or balance improvement is encouraged to attend a program/fitness class on balance.
"The Falling Stars program is a program we started to increase the strength of our residents," says Wolf. "The staff encourages each resident to attend an exercise class at 11 a.m. every day, seven days a week. It is staffed by a rotation of our nursing team. They do chair exercises and exercises standing up and holding onto the back of the chair. It is very important to keep the calf and feet muscles strong in order to keep a good balance for walking. By meeting each day, it has become a social activity as well, and the residents look forward to seeing each other."
Never too late
No matter one's age, maintaining strength and balance is important to not only overall health but also quality of life.
CeCe Graham, 93, has lived at Senior Star at Weber Place for nearly two years. She was evaluated through its in-house therapy for balance and strength.
"After I moved in the staff saw that a need was apparent so they began their evaluation process by asking me to do different activities such as standing, reaching and holding still for a certain amount of time," she says.
The assessment showed that Graham needed to work on both balance and strength to increase her quality of life.
"The therapists would walk with me and I would use small weights to get my arms stronger," she says.
Graham's regimen includes range of motion exercises — stretches, rotating joints, and extensions of arms and legs. She attends classes seven days a week.
"I continue to improve every time I attend class," she says. "I get stronger and can do things more easily for myself, such as reposition myself in the wheelchair and I am able to assist the staff in transferring myself out of the wheelchair."
Although Graham says she is not where she wants to be just yet, she says she has more self-confidence in her ability to help herself.
"I know I still need assistance from staff, but it is nice to know that they do not have to do everything for me," she says. "And it is fun to see the same people (in class) and it gives me something to do that is good for me."

I had forgotten the rewards and challenges of having a newborn. In some ways, both the challenges and the rewards are amplified by also having a four year old and a two year old at home.
My son is 20, and is a straight A student at college but doesn't feel that he knows what he really wants to do. Everything, academically, comes easy to him. (I know he doesn't like manual labor. LOL.) How can he decide what he really wants to do with his future when he's got a 'sur' of brains but a lack of motivation? (He actually asks me these questions, and wants to find a "passion" but hasn't found one at this point of life yet.) We're not wealthy, just conservatively 'comfortable.' I try to expose him to a variety of opportunities to explore, but he's so 'frugal' (from us) that he doesn't want to explore options as much as I would like. Do you have any suggestions??
– Carolyn
What does he talk about? What does he spend his free time reading about or learning about when there's no requirement to do so?
Whatever that is, it's your first clue as to where he should be headed. If he's constantly following politics, for example, then he should delve into politics. If he's constantly writing, then he should be a writer. If he's constantly tinkering with things, then he might want to consider engineering.
One of the biggest shames of our culture is that we send kids to college who have no idea what they want to do with their lives, so they go and spin their wheels for years, racking up expenses and debts.
I live in a low-income urban environement and am looking for Personal Finance material that is directed at low-income folks. As I have begun to do some one hour classes I am realizing that the issues are very different. If you can point me in a direction that would be awesome.
– Andrew
Most of the resources designed for low-income people aren't centralized at all. There is no "one stop shop" for such resources, as most resources are either created by small groups that don't market themselves well or are written for a very broad audience.
One place worth looking at is . Again, some of the material there isn't written explicitly for low-income people, but there's a lot of good content there.
Also, CNN Money's has a lot of good resources, but you definitely have to pick and choose among them.
wondering how much you spend a week on groceries – prior to the new addition (congrats by the way.) And what you include as groceries (ie. would you include baby stuff like wipes).
We're a family of 4 – 3 yr old girl and 1 yr old boy.
– Jordan
I calculated this a while back and found that our spending is roughly on par with the national average for a family of four. However, I think what we spend that money on is atypical.
We do a ton of things to reduce our spending – grocery lists, meal plans, and so forth – but we also buy things like fresh saffron, fresh morels, Maytag blue cheese, organic milk, grass-fed beef, and so on. I'll do things like buy a bottle of brandy to aid in making coq au vin and include the cost of that bottle in our monthly food accounting.
Our "food" spending does include a few non-food items. I don't go through grocery receipts and excise the three or four non-food items purchase, like a tube of toothpaste or something like that. So our true food expenditure is probably lower.
I have two almost maxed out credit cards with interest rates of 14.4% and 11.4%. I would like to get a credit card with a 0% balance transfer option so I can transfer/ close out one of them. I have applied for two so far and keep getting denied. Am I hurting my credit (which is good despite my amount of debt) by continuing to apply for different 0% cards? Should I just bite the bullet and try to pay them down at their current interest rates? I have been trying to pay them down (paying more than minimums) It just doesn't seem like I am getting anywhere.
– Kay
Applying for a credit card lowers your credit rating by about 5 points for 6 months – here's the details on a .
I do find it a bit odd that you haven't had any success at all applying for a 0% balance transfer option, though.
If I were you, I'd check my credit report at (the one that's actually run by the FTC and is actually free) and make sure there isn't anything you don't know about on that report.
I am a soon to be college graduate (2 weeks away!). I am on an active job search, but I haven't had any offers yet. Right now, my plan is to live with my parents for a few months while I work an hourly job at a restaurant, save money, and keep searching for a job. My family has started to ask me what I'd like as a graduation gift, and I'm at a loss as to what to tell them. I used to be a gadget freak, and I still have a weak spot for those things but right now I'm doing fine with what I have currently.
Since I'll be living at home and putting my current apartment stuff in storage, I don't have an immediate need for anything apartment related. I'm having a hard time thinking of something practical that would help me in this transitional period of my life. Do you have any thoughts?
– Phil
Don't go for stuff, go for experiences.
Instead of asking for a material item, ask for a ticket to De Gaulle Airport and a pass on Eurorail. Get your passport and backpack around Europe for a few weeks after graduation, just seeing things. It might very well change your ideas about the future.
Similarly, you could turn this into a volunteer project. Work at a Romanian orphanage for six months. Work in a small African village. These things are golden on a resume, they'll give you a new perspective on the world.
This is probably one of your best windows in life to really grow as a person. Take advantage of it.
I am 41 and my wife is 27. I have no debt while she has over $100k – mostly student loans, a reasonable car loan ($5k) and no credit card debt. The loans range from 2% to 8% with monthly payments of $1050. We both earn $80k a year in secure jobs. I have about $200k in savings and she has none, but our 403b is quite generous: 12% of annual salary a year from our employer with nothing required from us.
I handle the finances and in past years I've worked down her debt with some success. Meanwhile she tried her hand at a doctoral program that added $27k to her existing debt. She has since dropped the program and those loans are now due for repayment.
My question is more philosophical than mathematical. How much responsibility should I take for alleviating her loans?
1) I can pay the minimums with her money, knowing it will take decades for her to be free of debt and her lessened income will impact our choices.
2) I can decimate my savings, leaving us both to start out at zero again, assuming I will never be able to make up that ground and will eventually become a financial burden to her in old age.
3) I can continue to do what I can where possible to pay down the debts and "buy" her loans on occasion to lessen the interest burden, thereby improving her situation while hampering my own ability to save.
Personality wise, she's the spender and I'm the saver. She always assumes more money is around the corner, whereas I've been laid off and gone through the economic downturns both personal and global. She hasn't given up on the doctorate either, just postponed it.
– Leigh
It sounds as though you don't have merged finances at this point, which is fairly unusual for a marriage. It took my wife and I a year or two to get everything in line, but once we combined our finances, it was really a good thing.
If you're truly committed to your marriage and your finances and life are bound together for good, then her debts are effectively your debts because they affect your household cash flow and savings potential. The sooner you get rid of them, the better.
If you don't feel that confident, then there's a marital issue involved that you should work through.
We live in Baton Rouge (just moved here) and are thinking about changing from Regions to this bank. (as well as opening an account at a local credit union).
A 4.01% checking account is amazing!
– Trish
This offer is just like many other promotional interest rate offers. They look great until you break down the specifics.
The big catch here is that "0.10% APY will be paid on the entire balance in any cycle where the requirements are not met." That's an awful APY.
What are the requirements? The big one is that you must have a "minimum of 12 check card purchases" each month. I very rarely reach that number in a given month. If I do, it usually means that I don't have a good grip on my spending.
Of course, not having a grip on your spending means overdrafts. And if you don't overdraft but don't use the card enough, you get only a 0.10% APY. For me, that's too many requirements on my spending just to earn a bit more interest on my checking account.
Twenty year son wants to move out and in with a friend. Advantages and disadvantages of this? Friend owes him money and son does not have full-time career or job yet nor does the friend.
– Chris
If neither one of them has a full time career or job, how are the bills at this apartment getting paid? Food? Electricity? Rent?
I've got to assume that someone external is writing the checks for these things, and I think that's a very bad idea. It sets up a pattern of financial dependence that doesn't really give the person who is dependent any motivation to break free from. Why should they? They're not working and the bills are getting paid.
If he gets a full time job, there's nothing wrong with him renting an apartment with a friend and you might even give him a bit of financial help when he leaves. But an ongoing financial dependence is not a good thing for either of you.
I don't understand why people buy lottery tickets. Talk about an awful investment.
– Andrew
Why do people gamble at all? There's usually two reasons. One, it's an enjoyable pastime for them – they love the game. Second, the reward curve is uneven, giving the player the potential to multiply his money. Unfortunately, the multiplication is usually zero, but most people are a bit overconfident about such things.
The big issue is, from a societal standpoint, that people who are able to step back and carefully think through such decisions generally do not participate in lotteries and instead invest their money elsewhere. At the same time, that skill of analysis helps them to earn more money in their life.
Yes, lotteries are not a good way to spend your money if you look solely at costs and returns.
How's the baby? We want updates!
– Kellie
He's doing quite well. He's home from the hospital – as is Mom – and he seems to be doing well.
He currently has his days and nights mixed up, meaning he's up a lot during the night and sleeps a lot during the day. We're trying to use light signals to help with this, keeping him in bright rooms during the day and dim rooms at night.
He's already a surprisingly sound sleeper – when he's asleep, he tends to stay asleep very strongly until he decides to wake up. Our oldest child is a very light sleeper, but our daughter sleeps similarly deeply.
We like him. He's a keeper.

Paper reporting primordial gravitational waves published
Researchers acknowledge that interstellar dust may affect the signal
Steffen Richter, Harvard University
Guest post by Christopher Crockett
The much celebrated and debated paper reporting the detection of primordial gravitational waves from a split-second after the Big Bang is finally published. It appears June 19 in Physical Review Letters.
The publication follows months of debate as to whether or not the researchers were justified in claiming a detection of gravitational waves (SN: 6/13/14). The authors, though steadfast in their claim that the signal of gravitational waves is real, acknowledge that a competing signal from interstellar dust may be higher than originally assumed. The calculations cannot "exclude the possibility of dust emission bright enough to explain the entire excess signal," the team writes.

Mississippi houses some of the world's most respected industries. From engineering and manufacturing to medicine and I.T., many opportunities exist for "job hunters" across the state.
As the only show of its kind in Mississippi, Job Hunter introduces viewers to the jobs available right here at home. The series features interviews with CEOs, directors and workers at high profile companies around the state.

Deadly flu virus flourishes in lung cells
H7N9 influenza's clinging ability in humans and birds raises concerns about increased transmission between species
A strain of bird flu that has sickened 132 people and killed 37 in China this year may have more potential to spread worldwide than the dreaded H5N1 avian influenza does.
The new flu, known as H7N9 avian influenza, latches onto sugars that coat bird cells — and it can cling to sugars on human cells too, Yuelong Shu of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention and colleagues report July 3 in Nature. That may give the virus the ability to jump from birds to people relatively easily, the team reports.
By contrast, outside of two highly publicized laboratory experiments (SN: 6/2/12, p. 20), the H5N1 virus only grasps onto bird sugars and hasn't developed the ability to be readily transmitted among people. H5N1 has infected 630 people worldwide, killing 375.
H7N9 grows especially well in lung cells, the team discovered. That finding helps explain why people infected with H7N9 often develop severe pneumonia. But the virus doesn't cling as well in the trachea, which could limit H7N9's ability to spread among people via coughs or sneezes.
The researchers also examined blood samples from 90 healthy people who had gotten flu shots in 2012 and 2013. None of them carried antibodies that can fight H7N9, indicating that most people are probably susceptible to the virus.

Fight until you win: One cop calls his CO sister a 'hero'
Itasca County Sheriff's Officer Troy Ugrich described how his sister, Corrections Officer Darlene Troumbly, was serving breakfast to inmates when one lay in wait, determined to kill her
By P1 Staff
One law enforcer in Minnesota says his sister is an outstanding corrections officer — and his hero — for surviving a clash with an aggressive inmate bent on causing her harm.
"I work to keep the streets safe as a Road Deputy and arrest the bad guys, and she books them in and babysits them for me," Itasca County Sheriff's Officer Troy Ugrich told PoliceOne. "But she does far more than babysit in that jail."
One morning in August 2009, Darlene Troumbly was serving breakfast to inmates when she got word from a colleague that a man who was booked a few weeks prior had thrown a towel over the camera in his cell.
Plenty of inmates had done the same thing in the past, so the 48-year-old CO didn't think much of the news. Although he had a history of drug use and mental illness, the prisoner hadn't been particularly erratic lately, so she casually asked another officer to "pop her on across" to the cell — where he lay in wait.
"From the moment I opened that door, I knew right then. The look in his eyes was like no other. I've never seen that before. I've seen people angry. This was just… I want to use the word 'psycho,'" Troumbly said.
He Wanted to Kill Her
He lunged at her, and she quickly put to work the two tools she had. First, she delivered strong verbal commands to back off, but the prisoner — at more than six feet tall and broad across the back — didn't listen.
Her next option was to draw her TASER, and as she did so, she remembered her training. Since bringing it to their jail, deputies had used it — successfully — four times.
"Everybody drops, but he kept coming forward," Troumbly said. "All I could do was scream."
Officer Amy Slettom — Troumbly's partner of three years — heard her from downstairs and rounded up help. A group of deputies ran to the location of the struggle, and Slettom immediately jumped on the prisoner.
"I thought he was going to really harm me. He had me in that closet and he threw me against the shelf quite a few times. Tried to get me down on the ground," Troumbly said.
Another officer fired a TASER as a deputy grabbed the prisoner by the ear, applying firm pressure. When he finally fell, Troumbly remembers him muttering about "God's children" and people coming "to take him away."
Despite the nonsensical nature of his words, one statement didn't seem that way. At one point, as he held the officer tightly by her shirt collar, he told her something no one should ever have to hear.
"He mouthed to me that he was going to kill me," Troumbly said.
Red Lights and Sirens
At the end of those few short minutes, she didn't know — and couldn't feel — the extent of her wounds, but her colleagues convinced her to go to the hospital. She begrudgingly accepted on the caveat she drive herself, and on the way there, she called her brother, who was on duty at the time.
"I went red lights and sirens all the way to the hospital," Ugrich said.
Not yet knowing any details of the attack, he headed for the emergency room, where investigators, the sheriff, and chief deputies surrounded his sister's bed.
"She was sitting up, but she looked like a ghost. As soon as I walked into the room, she instantly broke down and started crying. Prior to that, she never cried," Ugrich said.
As her brother hugged her, the dull ache in her legs — a quiet reminder of how hard she braced herself against her attacker — began to subside. With him there in her arms, she tried to picture the scene had their roles been reversed.
"He's by himself on the road, so it's going to take somebody longer to get to him. He could have his partner miles away. Thank God I had people right there," Troumbly said.
Her only other injuries were neck and shoulder bruising.
Winning Dirty
The siblings frequently talk about the skirmish and how Troumbly's inclination to defend — herself or others — had been around from the start. Growing up, she looked out for her brother, who is the youngest of five.
"I was always like his protector when he was little. If my other brothers wanted to beat on him, I would hide him," Troumbly said.
Ugrich wants his sister to fight the urge to second-guess herself. Not only did she act admirably, he said, but her win in itself is more important than how she did it.
"I've been hit over the head with a beer bottle, knocked out … you just fight, fight, fight until you win, and that's what she did. And no matter how it's done — it can be the dirtiest win ever — she chose to use her verbal to win over this 6'6" guy. Because that's all she had," Ugrich said.
A former waitress used to chatting, Troumbly agrees communication helps her on the job, but when things turned ugly that day, determination was paramount. She said she focused intently on one thought: This isn't going to happen to me.
Whatever happens next, both officers are better prepared. Investigators on Troumbly's case accurately predicted that her awareness would change, and her brother's has, too.
"Her training and my training and us talking about the situation makes us both stronger," Ugrich said.
He reminds his sibling she's a warrior as often as he can.
"No doubt she's my hero," Ugrich said. "She's my big sister."

Managing medical information: from statistics to computers
Card sorter, United Kingdom, 1967
Medical diagnosis relies on collecting and interpreting medical facts, and technology that manages large amounts of information is central to medicine. Computers transformed medical practice. They collected, analysed and used more medical data than before. By the late 1900s the majority of diagnostic practices were performed by computers rather than doctors.
Collecting medical information
Medical facts were initially collected about individual body functions. During the 1800s medical scientists gathered facts about large groups of individuals. These population data were known as medical statistics. They revealed information about the cause or spread of ill health. Scientists such as Francis Galton used population data to develop a now discredited theory of human inheritance called eugenics.
Technology transforms medical data
From the 1800s, tabulating machines were data-sorting devices that transformed how medical information was kept. Medical statistics, hospital patient records and other medical data were recorded by punching holes into cards. The devices rapidly sorted large numbers of cards to produce useful medical information.
Machines discover the cause of lung cancer
Card tabulators were useful within epidemiology, in population studies to discover the cause of disease. In 1950 the doctor Richard Doll and the statistician Austin Bradford Hill published the results of one of the 20th century's significant epidemiological studies. Between 1922 and 1947, lung cancer deaths rose by 1500%. Doll and Hill used a tabulating machine to analyse their data, and demonstrated smoking was the biggest factor linked to lung cancer.
Computers revolutionise hospital diagnosis
Computers changed diagnostic practises from the 1950s. Rapidly collecting and analysing medical information created powerful diagnostic tools. Computers advanced medical imaging far beyond X‑rays. In 1971 a CT scanner, built by Godfrey Hounsfield, took the first image of a living brain. It used computers to store and analyse thousands of X‑ray measurements needed to produce the detailed picture. Imaging machines such as MRI and PET also used computers for image reconstructions.
Diagnostic tests were transformed by computers. In the early 1950s chemical tests were performed by hand. In 1958 Leonard Skeggs built the AutoAnalyzer, one of the earliest automated laboratory machines. Computer-controlled machines made diagnostic testing more rapid, reliable and economical. Computerisation also increased the range of diagnostic tests.
The internet transforms patient experience
Computers significantly changed the relationship between doctors and patients. The growth of the internet since the 1980s saw a huge increase in health information directly accessible to patients. Patients may easily research medical information online, and can use it to question and challenge their doctor's decisions.
Computers and the human genome
By the 1990s, the role of genetics in health had begun to be understood. However, revealing the entire genetic human blueprint could only be accomplished through immense computing power. Between 1990 and 2003, the Human Genome Project used supercomputers to process the 6 billion DNA bases that make us human. Medical scientists used computers to track specific parts of the sequence and identify genes affecting our health. These are stored in online databases, so anyone can access the human DNA sequence.

Breast: Why Settle For Less?
22 comments:
- tracy said...
In my head I've had the slogan "You don't have to be perfect".
There seems to be a perception of smugness, a superiority over bottlefeeding mums. It's not true but this appears to be what fuels the anger behind many comments attacking breastfeeding advocacy. There is a whole women have to be perfect thing and I'm sure the perception of this serene Johnsons baby style mum does harm to uptake rates.
Show that women who breastfeed aren't perfect, just normal.

There is a problem with media images, of course. If anything is a media image, isn't the 'after' of the 'before' picture, it will turn the audience off. How to present 'real' women, in a stylised and media savvy way, so the image will actually be looked at in the first place, and not repel the audience....
Very Tricky.
Not saying it can't be done, but how often is any media image, 'real'?

In central MK today there was a charity fundraising with the stated aim of 'a vaccine for breast cancer'. Apparently the one they want will reduce the rate by 12% . Less than bf does I seem to recall?
So that's my suggestion -steal that slogan for something more effective and that won't stop breastmilk production to boot!
- 25 July 2010 at 12:18

That could be a whole series, couldn't it?
Breastfeeding... A vaccine against...
breast cancer
sleep apnea
child abuse
Whole list of things. I can see some lovely posters on that one!

I like "you don't have to be perfect too". I don't mind "why settle for less" but I don't like the image of the slim white perfect-haired mother as I think it ties into the whole diane wiessinger thing of how people feel breastfeeding is only for "perfect" mothers, and is "best".
I would like: "Breast: it's ordinary". Or "normal".
And have an assortment of "ordinary people" nursing their babies.
By "ordinary people" I mean the kind of people you see on the Ocean Finance adverts. People who look like the people I see walking down the street every day.
I mean, Kerry Katona gets some stick, but she has sold Iceland very well on the back of the "ordinary Mum" image she has. Can you imagine if Kerry Katona breastfed? Would do more (imvho) for breastfeeding overnight than the likes of super slebs like Lucy Lawless and Gwen Stefani. Much as I adore them for nursing and saying they're doing so, it's a bit, well, "of course they breastfeed, they also probably eat organic vegetables and live in mansions".

Goodness, it was the first copyright free image I came across! I'm not at all presenting the image, but the format and the words!
Interesting some of you see her as perfect. I see a normal sized women with wrinkles, lines and roots showing! The lack of airbrushing was appealing. I liked the eye to eye statement!
I can't see at all how she's 'perfect'. :-)

For my BFPC training course we had to come up with some posters for breastfeeding.
Mine was based on the United Colors of Benetton adverts; a row of mums breastfeeding, all from different backgrounds, cultures, etc.
I just wanted to get across that it's something that unites us as a race, no matter where you come from on this earth, you can feed your baby the same milk :)
Don't have one I can send you though, as I couldn't find the right images so ended up drawing it.

I think it was the straightened hair, the white ironed blouse (that was actually white, not grey, as most of my "white" clothes are, and wasn't stained with puke the way my clothes were in the early days), the just-plucked eyebrows, etc!
I do quite like the slogan though.
- 25 July 2010 at 22:58
- Morgan said...
I could be wrong, but the image of a hassled, puke covered mother, with crumpled clothes... may not help mothers feel it's something they want to do! ;-)

There have been these posters in the past - with lists of things that breastfeedin protects against. With lots of different mums from all over the world, and lots of different languages. One such was produced by the friends of breastfeeding in Canada [ via compleat mother] and distributed here by Ameda, Ameda also did one using some of hte images as an ad including lovely pics of babies the friends did various takes on it and produced various versions, and also used the wording on small ones which had pics of ordinary families, situations etc too. The also did some wonderful art ones, including a native American mother, a tandem mother and a black mother. Between 25 - 15 years ago
Would be great to have some similar, still have mine which come out for displays but new ones would be great

"Human Milk for Human Babies" is a great slogan, but I didn't come up with it. I also like the Weissenger idea of a baby's natural habitat being mother's body, and the idea I heard McKenna mention of there is no such thing as a baby, but a baby and someone.... I know that's not breastfeeding as such, but if you encourage skin to skin and babyholding, then breastfeeding rates soar.

More and more I am being seen woman who try and give infos to new mums being called breastfeeding bullies. Someone said that breast milk didn't have any more benefits over formula dna they where corrected and showed the facts, this started off a bandwagon of formula mums coming calling breastfeeding patronising and bullying to mums who choose not to breastfeed. Not who couldnt who choose not to. Why is info, facts all censorde in case someones feelings is hurt ? and this isnt by mums who really try and cant do it its been taken over by people who have the freedom of choice and just dont fancy breastfeeding. Pretty soon allthe facts that they call bull and so and so kids was brestfeed and ill are going to be pushed back into a cornor. Dare I post any of the info on brestfeeding for any one for someone will come in and say that formula is not poisin as apparently thats what we say all the time even if we dont open out mouths.Because i dont use formula on my son I am making a statement on how its not right,. Dam well right I am and like it or lump it its better then that tin! I wish more would choose more carefully its not pepsi and coke on a menu its a whole lot more.

I may be missing the point, but I don't think Its necessary to have pics of women all over the world. That's all I really see. I feel like one of only a few regular American moms who breastfeed. I never see anyone doing it in public, talking about it, carrying a pump.....I think images of typical American moms who breastfeed would be most helpful for moms here....where few seem to try or stick with it.
- 26 July 2010 at 13:13
I really like your idea.
Have you ever noticed that in magazines and other advertising media that formula is always portrayed with soft images and lighting; happy well fed babies; happy moms with nice hair, make-up, and clothing? While breastfeeding talks about colic, sore nipples, sleepless nights and show dreary images with mom looking stressed and tired with poor body posture, mostly in a bath robe?
The magazines may talk about the health benefits, but the sponsors for the publication get prime spots for advertising the more 'appealing' option. The formula companies advertise in non-family oriented magazines, to give that impression that every one is using Brand X, so you too can have a happy healthy baby and get your time back to yourself.
Maybe we can copy the drug adverts and show a great pic, catchy slogan, a few testimonials, and then list on the back page all the health concerns for using the 'other product'.

When I lived in spain, there was a fab competition for breastfeeding pictures. The winners were used as advertising for breastfeeding, one of which was a woman breastfeeding under an umbrella.. they used it as a advertisement for breastfeeding to protect against swine flu :)

Why "settle" for "less"? I resent that phrase. What if there was no choice but to settle for less as you put it - you can't breastfeed or because you have adopted (and in the UK, when even a child given up at birth will be 5-6 months old at placement with a new family and that is incredibly rare you can't in fairness confuse a child by starting trying to breastfeed them). Or how about you plain old fashioned don't want to breastfeed? Shouldn't that be a right without women being burdened with more guilt? My children were exclusively formula fed and are healthy as horses, bright and beautiful. I don't feel like I settled for less, and I don't feel they were cheated - as they were bottle fed in a nurturing way.
- 15 August 2010 at 03:34

Interesting, isn't it. That if you say 'breast is best' it's okay. But if you flip it, and say that formula feeding is less than breast feeding, people take it personally, and you are attacking them.
If I told you that some chicken has salmonella in it, and you need to cook it properly, how would you feel? Am I calling you a bad mother? Or am I telling you something that everyone knows and accepts? So how come when I say formula can have salmonella in it, and you to prepare it properly, I'm attacking you?
I'm very pleased that your children are thriving, and you are a secure an attached mother. Risks are not about individuals, they are about cohorts.
Just as someone can say "I've driven my baby without a car seat for years, and we've never had an accident." Many mothers can say "I used formula and my children are happy and healthy."
The issue isn't when it doesn't go wrong - the issue is when it does. The undeniable fact, scientifically proven and peer reviewed research, is that lack of breastfeeding harms health. It can harm the health of the mother, and the child. That needs to be taken into consideration, when making your personal choices, about letting the baby on your breast.
Yes, some women, a tiny percentage, cannot make a full supply. Some women, a tiny percentage, are born with spinal problems that puts them in a wheelchair for life. We do not hand out wheelchairs to every newborn, and say "Don't use your legs, it will offend the poor people in the wheelchairs - aren't they suffering enough guilt?"
What we do, is accept that a person with a disability, is a human being first and foremost, and we support them to function as well as they wish to.
It's the same with women who do not wish to, or cannot, breastfeed normally. We should be helping all the babies of such mothers, to have human milk by donation.
Life is risk. Not breastfeeding, is a risk factor. Just another risk factor, to be taken into consideration as we live our lives.
As long as you know the risks, you have made an informed choice. Your choice is yours: but it affects yourself, and your baby. Just know that.
Just as how much you weigh, if you smoke, if you drink alcohol, if you drive too fat, if you don't exercise... all of these are risk factors. Just be aware, but choose your own path. But you choices, does not negate the actuality of the science.
As ever, the messenger is shot, whilst the multi-national companies making billions, from selling you a different message, that can affect the health of your children, aren't even noticed, much less criticised.

Oh, and many an adoptive mother has begun breastfeeding with an older baby. It can help with trauma the baby has endured from separation and institutionalisation. Some don't start until well past a year old, and it works very very well. Interesting research paper about it about to come out. By a mother who adopted children from a Chinese orphanage, and who used breastfeeding, bed-sharing and child-wearing on slings, as a way to help them deal with the developmental delays caused by the trauma of their early lives.
I so wish people wouldn't use the 'adopted' baby as a stick to beat breastfeeding by, when it's such a rare and precious tool in helping a baby over come serious trauma. :-)
