Evanston police say alcohol may be a contributing factor in the death of Harsha Maddula, a Northwestern University sophomore who drowned in Wilmette Harbor this September.
The pre-med student from Garden City Park, NJ, was last seen alive leaving a party in the 2000 block of Ridge Avenue around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 22. He was reported missing the following Monday, and police found his body in Wilmette Harbor on Thursday, Sept. 27.
Since his death, police have been interviewing students who attended the party with Maddula and canvassed the area around Wilmette Harbor. While the canvass revealed no new information, some of the students who attended the party told police that he was intoxicated that night, according to Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott.

"There were some witnesses that saw him consuming alcohol," Parrott said, adding that students also told police that Maddula was drunk when he left the party.
Parrott cautioned that many of the students whom police had interviewed were drunk at the party themselves, however, and that their interpretations were subjective.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office , meaning it could be either a suicide or an accident. Police are still waiting for a complete toxicology report from the Medical Examiner's Office, which could take up to eight weeks to produce, officials say.
Maddula's friends and family say he was a good swimmer who was unlikely to drown under normal circumstances.
"There's no way he would have drowned like that," his maternal uncle, Vasu Kakollo, told Patch at his funeral. "Nobody knows what kind of condition he was in, if he did fall. Medically, he was fine."
According to friends and family, Maddula had recently been diagnosed with type I diabetes, which requires insulin injections to stabilize sugar levels in the blood. .
"He was a wonderful, intelligent, kind, caring kid," Kakollu said. "He had so many dreams and so many visions he wanted to do. So sad that everything is cut short."

User Tip: If you're unsure of your vehicle type, you may skip the machine type selection box.
Please select make, model and yearPistons
Is it time to replace your quad's piston? If you're rebuilding your machine's top end, you can count on Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. We have several great ATV pistons to choose from. Do you just need the circlips or the wristpins? Don't sweat it; we carry those separately as well.
The first thing to do is enter your ATV's make, model and year in the drop down menu above. This is vital as it will allow us to quickly determine what we have available that will fit your quad. Depending on your machine, we've got two major options: standard piston kits and big bore kits. If it's just a matter of replacing your pistons, stick with the standard kits. However, if you're looking to get more power, you might want a big bore kit. These come with pistons that literally have a larger circumference than your stock pistons and result in a noticeable rise in power due to an increased engine displacement after you've bored out your cylinder.
Among our offerings, you'll notice major names like Wiseco, Pro X, Vertex, Cylinder Works and others – all reliable brands. Pick up a new piston kit for your ATV today!
Matthew in OH
Excellent product as always. The only bummer, the KIT didn't come with a wrist pin. Make sure you order a wrist pin. Great compression, fits right in. No issues and the bike loves it.Read All Reviews
Lori in PA
Fits perfectly and Wiseco is a great and reliable companyRead All Reviews
Jeff in NC
Have had this kit installed for 2 seasons now...has worked flawlessly, nice power increase, I finally blew a head gasket (bike is also on nitrous) tore the top end down and the piston/cylinder looks great. Has been a great bolt on kit.Read All Reviews
Ty in NC
Works well only issues I had was working with circlipsRead All Reviews
Andrew in CO
Although, I've never had a wrist-pin bearing problem, I always replace these when I'm doing a top end. Never had a problem. Will buy againRead All Reviews

Cant find a better top end other than the oem replacement at half the costRead All Reviews

1,320. Re: Eye strain from LED backlighting in MacBook Proputonyourcans Oct 21, 2013 12:35 PM in response to RMartin111
I hope this question is not too off-topic, but I was wondering if anyone has had any negative experience with LED backlights used for dashboard displays or instrument panels in cars. For example, the i-MID LCD screen in Honda vehicles has an LED backlight (http://www.honda.ca/accord_sedan/2013/trim-levels) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12P6emcRCRI).
I have done some internet searches to see if PWM is used for these LED backlights in cars, but I have not readily found an answer. I called Honda customer service, but they declined to provide an answer out of concern for their proprietary information.

Your question is not off topic, I have been shopping for a car I can tolerate and I did drive the accord which sent me directly into a terrible migraine after just minutes. That screen is extremely blue, another brand using white/blue LED would be Cadillac, horrible....

Hi Jessy,
I have anti-reflective coating in my glass. Not sure if that is exactly the same as anti-glare coating. Maybe I need to buy a new one with anti-glare coating. mvanier mentioned that U2410 has anti-glare feature on it. It makes me wonder why it did not work for me.
I feel like I am never going to be able to sort this out. I really wish I could watch videos on my computer like before without headaches. Now scrolling windows up and down also gives me headaches. Very similar to what I get from motion sickness...
1,325. Re: Eye strain from LED backlighting in MacBook ProJessiah1 Oct 24, 2013 2:07 PM in response to Jerry3012
So does it help with CCFL screens at all? It will not do nearly as much for LED lighting of any kind, not sure what kind of coating you have as well. If you find no results with fluorescent lighting and anti-glare coatings we could have different experiences as well....
1,326. Re: Eye strain from LED backlighting in MacBook ProJerry3012 Oct 25, 2013 2:37 PM in response to Jessiah1
I did not try many LCD screens. I have been using the dell ST2310 monitor at work for over 3 years. I got problems when I face my laptop LED screen at home. Actually, I did not realize it is the LED screen causing the problem until I found this forum about only 5 onths ago. Then I start to try differnt monitors, up till now, I have tried both the Dell U2410 and U2713HM (pmw flicker free?). But none of them worked for me.
I wish I had come to this forum much earlier. My headache actually started around 2009 when I upgraded my laptop to a new one with LED screen. Very bad headaches, I had MRI scan and went to neurologists. Nothing was found. After a while, I started to realize that sitting infront of that new laptop made my headaches worse. I thought it was because of the noise. So I switched to my old laptop and my symptoms suddenly become better. Long story short, I feel so glad that now I know the reason for my headaches. Looking for solutions...

After few months I just lost hope for use any kind of lcd monitors and returned to my old good 19' CRT. I tested CCFL/EEFL/LED monitors with the same result: red and burning right eye after only one day of using it. When CCFL was the most comfortable and the LED was almost eye killer, causing severe pain. My tests of using incandascent backlighting to lcd was not proved to be successful. There was no burning this time but pain after some time. I understand my right eye has some unknown problem and is "not compatibile" with rear backlighted LCD technology. (however 2 doctors said it is everything ok with it....)
CRT is far superior for me and I can watch it non-stop, so bye - bye LCD. I am planning to buy one of the best CRT monitor produced: Sony 24' Widescreen GDM-FW900 (2304 x 1440) in near future and test new 3D full HD EPSON 2030 3xLCD projector for watching films too. (i never have problems in cinema).
BTW. Any small LCD like phone, camera or middle like laptops do not give me any problems. Probably becouse they emit much less light ....
And here is good comparision report CRT vs LCD from year 2000: http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/vw/PDFs/Colorimetric_Characterization.pdf
which shows the big differences in light spectrum, contrast and brightness.

Just been reading through this thread as I have purchased my first Macbook Pro Retina 13inch and am having severe eyestrain, focussing issues, tight head, dizziness, facial twitches, tinnitus and nausea. I have never experienced symptoms on this level before from looking at a computer screen and I have used quite a few in my lifetime. My vision is 20-20.
My symptoms calmed down after the first day, but they are still there and it looks like I will have to return it as I can't handle feeling like this. I do not have any problems with iPhones, iPads with retina, etc etc.
I am quite sad as the machine is great, but my health is more important. I have tried various settings, f.lux, etc, but nothing has improved.

I want to share my experience with apple stuff.
So far I never had problems with apple screen or any other screens until I faced with
2011 or 2010 (Can't remember) 11" Macbook Air.
It was so bad. My eyes were hurting after few hours of use. I returned after 2 days.
I just couldn't stare at it anymore.
Then I thought i would never buy a mac.
I have 4s and ipad3 which are totally okay with me. I can look at them 8 hours and i would be okay.
Recently, I bought 2013 macbook air 13" (the cheapest model, no upgrades) with LG display.
So far I am using it 5 hours everyday for few days and I am totally fine.
I am liking the mac experince now..
Try the new macbook air 13" if you can.
1,331. Re: Eye strain from LED backlighting in MacBook ProGurm42 Oct 31, 2013 10:41 AM in response to FloWavE
I can confirm that the new Air 13" does NOT make my eyes IMMEDIATELY hurt.
I can't confirm anything more than that, because I haven't spent enough time with it. However, unlike the retina displays - or every other Mac for the past 2 years - the one that a user brought me to look at last week was actually tolerable for the 5 minutes that I used it, and did not give me a migraine for the rest of the day like any other Mac would have.
So maybe there's something to these new LG displays?
1,332. Re: Eye strain from LED backlighting in MacBook ProExandas Oct 31, 2013 3:39 PM in response to Gurm42
Regarding LG displays, I used a dual sim LG phone L5 E455 for a few hours and i was actually suprised that it did not bother my eyes. But i made light use, i.e. some phone calls and some email reading. I dont know what would happen if use it heavily as my current phone i.e. a lot of email reading and PIM use.
1,333. Re: Eye strain from LED backlighting in MacBook Pronoveu Oct 31, 2013 6:06 PM in response to RMartin111
I have the same problem with my macbook air- eversince I started using it, my ayes were redder than usual and irritating. Now that I don't use the mac anymore, my eyes are much more comfortable and healthy. I tried to return the mac, but they don't take it back- they say 14 days only! This is not something you notice in a week or two though, and I was not aware of the problem before I bought the stupid mac- otherwise I wouldn't have for sure. See this: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jakewallissimons/100185960/are-apples-screens- damaging-our-eyes/

APPLE VALLEY — Kyle Reynolds' RBI single in the bottom of the seventh lifted the Mankato Legion National Post 11 baseball team to a 5-4 victory over fourth-ranked Coon Rapids Saturday and its third straight win in the Gopher Classic.
With the score tied a 4, Mankato led off the bottom of the seventh a single from Josh Cook. He was sacrificed to second by Evan Ellingworth, moved to third on a base hit by Ian Schwickert and scored on Reynold's single. Schwickert and Mullin were both 2 for 4 in the game. One of Mullin's hits was a double.
Schwickert also got the win, allowing one earned run on four hits, walking one, hitting three batters and striking out four.
The win followed two victories on Friday. Mankato opened tournament play with a 2-1 win over Rosetown. Josh Cook pitched the complete-game win, allowing no earned runs on six hits, fanning four and walking three. Isaac Weber was 2 for 3 with an RBI and Alec Karels also drove in a run.
In their second game, the Nationals defeated Apple Valley 4-2. Devin Ries was the complete-game winner, allowing 4 hits, one earned run, striking out three and walking one. Mullin was 2 for with an RBI and Ries knocked in the game-winning run.
Mankato, which began the season 1-8, is now 10-10 and has two more games of pool play. The Nationals take on West Fargo at 9 a.m. today, followed by an 11:30 a.m. game against Yankton, S.D.
Mankato can advance to the championship round of two ways. It can win its pool outright, or qualify as a second-place team if they win the tie-breaker procedure with the other runner-up teams.
"I'm very happy with the way we have turned our season around," head coach Jamie Mulvihill said. "We got off to a pretty bad start but the guys have been playing much better lately. It makes it a lot more fun."

Quote:What is the central hole diameter? Protostar had a small diameter Blacklite tube already flocked that is approx 38mm outer diameter and was a good fit with some adhesive felt for my DK primary baffle.Dave
Quote:Hi Tom,It's already looking great, just with a little cleaning. You are going to have one fantastic telescope there. With regard to the mirror: After cleaning, it looks great, as you say. I would attribute this, at least in part to the coatings. As I remember when I sent my 6 inch F4.5 mirror off to Cave for the final parabolic figure and for aluminizing, that in their literature they advertised special, corrosion-resistant coatings along with the aluminizing. If I remember right, they said that a fine layer of zirconium? was deposited over the aluminized surface to protect it. They said that the finish on the mirror, thus treated, should last many years with proper care. This was in the mid 1960s. Which brings me to my last point, I wonder if "Chemoptics" hand written on your mirror could have been the people who applied the aluminizing and coatings. My point being that maybe you do have a Cave mirror? Perhaps some of our other SoCal folks here that remember Cave back in the day may be able to shed more light on Chemoptics.

Buffalo has an astonishing array of career and technical education programs housed within its high schools. Unfortunately, as noted in my story, Buffalo has a lot of room for improvement when it comes to enrolling and graduating students who are capable of passing industry assessments.
Below is the list of all the career programs the Buffalo district offers. Programs with an * are state certified.
Before we get to that, however, I'd like to say a word the cost of vocational programs offered by Erie 1 BOCES vs. the cost of programs offered by Buffalo. I didn't get into this in the main story because I ran out of room, time and brain power.
But the bottom line is that vocational programs within the district probaby do cost a fair amount less than the programs offered at BOCES. I don't know how much less, though I did get explanations from both BOCES Supt. Donald Ogilvie and Katherine Heinle, director of Buffalo's career and tech ed programs, about how they calculated their costs.
Ogilvie said his $7,600 per student tuition figure includes everything needed to run the program, including the cost of the teacher, the supplies, the facility overhead, insurance, technology support etc. If for some reason BOCES winds up with a surplus, after charging tuition, the money is refunded the district.
Heinle said she arrived at the $1,500 per student figure by taking her operation and management budget for her department, which included high school vocational teachers salaries, equipment, her own salary (the only vocational staff salary paid through operations budget), the repair line etc. and divided it by the number of students.
For me to ensure the two figures were an exact apples-to-apples comparison would have required more time than I had to spare, I'm afraid.
Here's the listing of Buffalo career and technical programs:

Very quiet..excellent dishwasher
Rochester, NY

I wanted to write this review because I read all the other reviews prior to purchasing this dishwasher. I must admit I was worried about some of the reviews and I personally don't think Consumer Reports opinion adds up to more than a hill of beans. I was also concerned about the one review stating the dishwasher warped her cabinets because my kitchen setup has the dishwasher's only vent (left top side) less than 2 inches away from my cabinet because my kitchen is L shaped. I am also replacing a 15+ year old dishwasher that was so loud and when it finished drying, the dishes were too hot to handle for another 30+ minutes. I have only had this dishwasher now for 3 weeks so I cannot comment yet on its longevity, but I can tell you this dishwasher has more than lived up to its and my expectations. The dishwasher is extremely quite other than when it is filling up with water or changing to drying can you really hear anything and that is barely audible. My dishes, cups, mugs, silverware and plastic-ware ALL come out clean and DRY - NO spots and NO water left behind inside the machine, on the racks and not on the items inside. I will say I had the dishwasher professionally installed and they told me to run the machine empty on the longest and highest setting prior to using it with dishes to remove remaining deposits from the manufacturing process. After that, I have been running the machine on the Smart Wash and Smart Dry mode with Finish powder soap and Finish Jet-Dry rinsing agent. I was told long ago not to use liquid soap because it clogs the machines. I also pre-rinse my items because do you really want all that left over debris going through your dishwasher? I also run my dishwasher most of the time at night so everything probably has been left sitting in there for several hours before it is emptied. Lastly, my concerns about the vent so far seem to be a non-issue. I have placed my hand on the vent during washing and drying and I can barely notice anything coming out, there is no noticeable heat or steam and my cabinet is fine. My old unit vented out the front, you could see the steam when drying and you could get burned from the steam. I hope this dishwasher does last the test of time, but I can only speculate that for now. I also do not see and issue with the top rack's construction. It seems well made (as good as any other dishwashers I looked at) the racks easily slide in and out. Plus I don't really have the need to adjust the top rack often. As far as everything else, this machine is the best in my book!

Couldn't believe just how quiet this model is. Had to put my ear up to the door to check if it was running. Clean dishes. I would recommend this model..

This dishwasher washes better than any I have seen. It takes a lot longer to wash than older dishwashers due to the soaking cycles. The reason for 4 stars versus 5 is with a few of the features. First, the literature (and the salesperson) said the bottom could accomodate up to 13-inch plates -- not true. even with the top shelf all the way up, there is only 11 1/2 inches of clearance to the sprinkler arm. Also, what they won't tell you is that the top shelf can't be removed on this model. Lastly, the mechanism that moves the shelf up and down takes up space where the glasses go, making it more difficult to load.

The dishwasher cleans dishes great...but the Dishwasher is very poorly put together. The top dishwasher rack was broken when I got the dishwasher. Then, after just 18 months, a hose clamp came off and flooded my house! I caught the flooding within less than a minute of starting the dishwasher, but it was too late. So much water came out that it flooded into my basement. Put your money toward a different brand or be prepared to pay extra for extended warranty...or fall victim to paying for costly repair parts. Kenmore & Sears should be ashamed of themselves for this product.
Mukilteo, WA
If high end only means quiet, then go for cheap! This does not dry your dishes. If the manufacturer says always use high temp always use SaniRinse, always use rinse aid and set to max, and always use Smart dry, there's something wrong here. I shouldn't have to purchase a rinse aid for my high end dishwasher. And if I need to ALWAYS use high temp, sanirinse, and smart dry shouldn't those things be non optional for the dishwasher? My question here is: WHAT EXACTLY DID I PAY FOR!?? did I pay for quietness? fine, but didn't I pay for a dishwasher? shouldn't the EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE dishwasher have the dishes ready to be put away when it says it's ready? Does Kenmore need new engineers who care?

NEW ULM — For thousands of years, water was our preferred drink of choice.
In 2013, the most fundamental liquid on the planet apparently has regained that status.
Water's "reemergence" as our No. 1 beverage actually made headlines this week. It seems that plain old H2O has toppled soda pop from its 20-year position as Americans' primary go-to gulp.
Conventional wisdom is saying we're reverting to water because we've been enlightened about the health negatives posed by sugary pops. Also because we don't want to be fat...ter.
I'm sure there's a lot of truth in that. But there's also a lot of truth in this: We're drinking more water not necessarily because we want to but because marketers want us to.
Sometime in the late 1990s, soft drink companies and other opportunists discovered they could actually get people to buy soda-size bottles of plain water, marketed under the banner of good health and sold at grossly inflated prices.
At that point, the soda companies began to win hearts and malleable minds. The Coca-Colas and Pepsis of the world are very good at this sort of thing, so it was only a matter of time before water sold at soda pop prices would usurp consumption of said soda pop.
Brands of "premium" bottled water emerged and quickly become fashionable. Soon, absurdity held sway.
The FIJI brand sold for $6 a six-pack, Glenwood Inglewood boasted that its drinking water was "Great for drinking," and Evian, which is "naive" spelled backward, gained cult-like appeal.
And no one cared — and they still don't — that the liquid in these cute little bottles of glorified tap water costs far more ounce for ounce than gasoline.
(An aside: At Mankato municipal water rates, several hundred gallons of water costs residential users about $2.50. That means you could drink enough of this fine and refreshing tap water to kill yourself — and still get change back from a penny.)

Model-Based Calibration Toolbox
The MBC Optimization app in Model-Based Calibration Toolbox lets you calibrate lookup tables for your engine control unit (ECU). With the app, you can fill and optimize lookup tables in ECU software using models created with the MBC Model Fitting app. You can:
The MBC Optimization app lets you generate optimal calibrations for lookup tables that control engine functions, such as spark ignition, fuel injection, and inlet and exhaust valve timing. Calibration of these features typically involves tradeoffs between engine performance, economy, reliability, and emissions. You can:
Complex calibration problems can require different optimizations for different regions of a table. The table-filling wizard enables you to incrementally fill tables from the results of multiple optimizations with smooth interpolation through existing table values. The MBC Optimization app extrapolates the optimization results to pass smoothly through table masks and locked cells (fixed table values). Use these features when you want to use separate optimizations to fill different regions of a lookup table.
The app also provides gradient constraints for controlling table smoothness in optimization-based and feature-based table filling.
Model-Based Calibration Toolbox enables you to produce optimal calibrations for engines with multiple operating modes. You can use the composite model type to combine a number of models that represent engine responses under different operating modes. Using the composite model in the MBC Optimization app produces optimal calibrations for engines with multiple operating modes, where the goal is to fill a single table for all modes or to fill a table for each mode.
ECU software often includes features for estimating states that are too difficult or costly to measure in production vehicles, such as torque and borderline spark. Using the MBC Optimization app, you can describe estimator features graphically with Simulink block diagrams, fill the lookup tables for these features, and then compare the estimators with empirical engine models made from measured engine data.

Spielgaben Wooden Educational Toys
Way before he squared the MC and cracked the E case once and for all, Albert Einstein was being prepped for life as a genius. Baby Albert, along with fellow geniuses Buckminster Fuller, Frank Lloyd Wright and Paul Klee, spent their childhoods tinkering with the same toys.
They were playing with Spielgaben! With these wooden toy sets, playtime becomes a time for your child to develop their natural gifts, think deeply about mathematics and increase IQ.
By the age of six, the brain has already done over 90 percent of its development. That means that before your child even gets to school, the most crucial window of mental development has closed; after that, learning is gradual and less instinctive.
And not only do they engage your child's brain, the time you spend playing with Spielgaben together is a great bonding experience. You'll become their best teacher just by playing with them. To make it easy for you, the sets come with a series of award-winning resources, including illustrated user guides, interactive worksheets and inspiration cards.
Today's Spielgaben have been modernised, but they're still true to the vision of inventor and innovative educator Friedrich Froebel. He believed that children should start learning from a very young age but it shouldn't be done in the traditional classroom style.

Excellent toy as well as a piece of artBy Myrtha Bauer on 25/07/2013 12:29:24 PM
We have no hesitation to recommend Spielgaben to any parents. The craftsmanship of the materials and the customer service are both excellent. The fact that it has been developed by a team of passionate people whose focus is solely on the product, makes it both an excellent toy and a piece of art. Our 2.5 years old has already enjoyed it. It is a worthy investment.

Fun game as well as educational. 18 month year old interested in simple tasks. Ideal for older brother enjoy and assist. Wooden components a welcome change from plastic and no batteries required!
Great quality product with endless play potentialBy Lynda on 22/07/2013 11:22:14 AM
We found our Spielgaben was a great quality product with endless play potential. The play guides and inspirations are fantastic guidance for myself and an invitation to play for the kids. We were fed up with cheap novelty toys that broke quickly or only retained the children's interest momentarily given their narrow scope of play. The amount of un-used, broken toys we w (...)

When the Sewerage Authority was formed back in the 1960s, the board met between 3 and 5 times a week during the period when the sewer system was being designed. Today, the board's effort is no greater than that of any other board in town, all the rest of whom volunteer their time.
Further, in the beginning TOMSA board members received only an annual stipend of $1,000. They did not receive pension or medical benefits, which are in violation of the Township's own ordinances that state that TOMSA board members shall receive no compensation other than salary.
There are 5 regular members and 2 alternates on the TOMSA board. Today, the annual salaries are $2,150 for the chairperson and $1,750 for other members. Health and pension benefits are worth tens of thousands more.
In 2009, in response to a new state law, the Township Committee passed Ordinance No. 2009-2967, which states "the Township Committee of the Township of Middletown believes it is the best interest of the taxpayers of the Township to eliminate the receipt of pension and/or health benefits by part-time elected and appointed officials".
That ordinance stripped pension and health benefits for new board appointees but allowed for the continuation of benefits for any board member currently receiving them.
Thus, the Township Committee can save taxpayers a great deal of money by not re-appointing TOMSA board members as terms expire. Yet the re-appointments continue.
At Middletown's annual organization meeting on Jan 6th, the Township Committee re-appointed to 5-year terms three members of the Sewerage Authority board whose current terms expire on Feb. 1st.
One of the re-appointees, Thomas Stokes, has been on the TOMSA board 25 years next month and has lived out-of-state half the year since 2010. With his re-appointment to the board, Mr. Stokes was changed from a regular member to an alternate, no doubt to save him the trouble of attending meetings while he continues to collect salary and benefits through Feb. 2018.
The patronage needs to end. Residents should demand that the Township Committee pass an ordinance eliminating all compensation – salary and benefits – for all board members.
Eliminating TOMSA board perks would save Middletown property owners over $100,000 a year.

That's right. I still have a Swobo brochure in my catalog file from 1995. Nothing weird about that, right? Even scarier is the fact that I knew exactly where to find it. I liked what Swobo was doing with their design oriented bike clothing ten years ago, and I am glad to see the company doing well today in its second iteration. Their clothing line is definitely hip, so I can't wait to see the company's new "street bike" line created by Sky Yaeger.
Some of you will probably remember my post a couple of months ago about the changes at Bianchi. In addition to the comments to the post, I got an email message from a reader who thought that I was crazy because, as he stated, Sky Yaeger has designed the absolute best bikes that Bianchi has made in the last 10 years. That is probably true (not the part about me being crazy, the part about Sky knowing what she is doing). As I said in that post, I like her bikes. I wouldn't mind owning a few of the singlespeeds that she introduced during her long career at Bianchi. The point of the post was not to criticize Sky; I was just happy to hear of changes because I don't think that Bianchi has had a unified marketing plan in recent years. That is why I am glad to hear that Ms. Yaeger has landed at Swobo. To me, that fit makes perfect sense and I am looking forward to seeing the products that come out of it. I have some ideas what the bikes might look like, but I won't speculate at this point. You can bet that I will be back to discuss them when they start to materialize.

During a recent roundtable discussion, leading experts in the fields of veterinary parasitology, dermatology, behavior, and
client communication gathered to discuss parasite control opportunities in clinical practice. The topics they discussed included:
Identification of practice barriers to providing parasite control for their patients
Keys to getting agreement with pet owners about the importance of parasite control
Proven processes that can convert agreement into a protected pet and a satisfied client
The Veterinary State of Mind
Dr. Vande Linde: But because veterinarians play it safe and leave the decision up to the client, the client is totally confused. I've watched
people's faces when doctors give them all the choices for fl ea and tick control. I feel so sorry for these clients. They
can't remember what this drug does or that drug does. They don't know what to choose, so they don't make any decision at all.
Dr. Murray: So on one hand, veterinarians today feel like they don't have control of parasiticides because pet owners have so many choices
outside the veterinary clinic. But on the other hand, I'm hearing that veterinarians are struggling with the choice of products
that they offer and that they often leave the decision up to pet owners. It sounds like we're talking about two sides of the
same coin.
