Successful Breast-Feeding
Ask your doctor if your hospital has one. Or see a lactation consultant -- you can ask your doctor or the La Leche League for a referral. You should make these preparations before you'll be ready to breast-feed, Lebbing and Bonuck advised. Just a few sessions with a lactation consultant can pay off, Bonuck said. "You will understand the normal physiology of how the milk is produced," she said. The consultant, working with a doll, can help women practice the best positions to breast-feed and get comfortable with the concept. Be sure the hospital personnel know you want to breast-feed. "Make your wishes known," Bonuck said. "Some [hospitals] have cards that say, 'Breast-feed only.' " That reduces the risk of confusion and your baby mistakenly getting a bottle of formula, Bonuck said.
German Firm To Bring 289 Jobs
A German company that makes compressors for industrial air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment is planning to open a manufacturing facility employing 289 people in the East Syracuse area, state officials say. Gov. Eliot Spitzer mentioned the plans by Bitzer Scroll in his State of the Upstate address Jan 16 in Buffalo, but he made no mention of it when he spoke later the same day to the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce's economic forecast luncheon. A Bitzer Scroll representative said Monday the company was planning a formal announcement about its plans and he could release no details until the announcement was made. State and local officials would normally make a big deal when a manufacturer decides to open a plant and create nearly 300 local jobs.
ComEd plans to push efforts that cut bills
ComEd customers may pay more for new conservation programs but could save in the long run, consumer advocates and the utility said Thursday. The Illinois Commerce Commission, which regulates ComEd, has approved energy efficiency programs proposed by ComEd, downstate utilities and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Different programs will roll out at different times. They include discounts on energy efficient light bulbs; the pick up and recycling of older, inefficient refrigerators; air conditioning "tune ups" and other measures designed to reduce energy consumption. ComEd said consumers overall could save roughly $155 million during the lifetime of the programs, possibly up to 10 years. That could save 1.2 megawatts of power, or enough to power 140,000 homes for one year, ComEd spokesman John Dewey said.
Los Angeles Angels
He wants to go from a closer who recorded 85 saves in 99 chances over the last three seasons into the Cubs rotation as a starter. Dempster's goal will be to pitch 200 innings, a plateau he reached three times while a starter with the Marlins and Reds from 1998-2003. "Dempster wants to start. We're going to let him compete. If he shows us midway through spring training that he can do it, then we'll figure out the back end of it [the rotation]," Piniella said.

The Cardinals wasted no time handing out Scott Rolen's old number. Newly signed reliever Ron Villone arrived at spring training camp Wednesday and was given jersey No. 27, previously worn by the third baseman dealt to Toronto in the offseason.
Religion too big a part of elections
That was a real stretch. Now I suppose you will tell me that the slaughter of hundreds of millions by the communists was an act of love. Starving the people of the Ukraine to death must have also been the intellectually superior act of love. Adolf Hitler was as left wing as you could ask for. I don't allow the propagandists to tell me what that creep was. Too many of our families were slaughtered by that left wing extremists. Do a bit of in depth study please. What pray tell do you think the word NAZI means? " .
