[JURIST] FBI documents released Wednesday by the ACLU following a Freedom of Information Act request show repeated FBI concern over and disapproval of military interrogation techniques at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, but also indicate that FBI investigation of the practices was scaled back after July 2004 for reasons as yet unclear. The documents were released one day before the beginning of confirmation hearings for Bush Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales, who as White House counsel was instrumental in crafting the Bush administration's initial legal policy on military interrogations and the limited application of the Geneva Conventions. As previously reported in JURIST's Paper Chase, US Southern Command has ordered an internal investigation of the FBI claims. The ACLU press release on the latest documents and their connection with the Gonzales nomination is here. A log of the latest documents, with links of their full texts, is here. AFP has more.
[JURIST] UN officials have begun working with Indonesian government authorities to set up a child registration system that will help prevent and forestall illegal child trafficking in the wake of last week's South Asia tsunami that is now estimated to have killed 150,000, leaving tens of thousands of children homeless across the region. A UNICEF spokeman said Wednesday that the first center had already been set up in Banda Aceh and that twenty more registration centers were being established across the northern Sumatra province. Australian Federal Police have also volunteered to assist in the fight against chilf trafficking in tsuami-affected areas. Thursday's Australian has more. UNICEF offers a brief backgrounder on the global problem of child trafficking.
[JURIST] A draft of Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales' prepared statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee intended for delivery at his confirmation hearing Thursday and obtained late Wednesday notably makes no mention of torture, prisoners, detainees, Guantanamo, Iraq or the Geneva Conventions, taking a speak-no-evil approach to a wide range of issues on which Gonzales is likely to face close questioning by Democratic senators. In the draft Gonzales instead insists that even in the midst of a war on terror against enemies who do not abide by the law of war, he is committed to the rule of law and observance of American treaty obligations, generalities that have been construed favorably by the mainstream press but which may not satisfy critics looking for a specific promise to eschew by name past policies many legal observers have criticized as wrong-headed and even dangerous:
Wherever we pursue justice from the war on terror to corporate fraud to civil rights we must always be faithful to the rule of law. I want to make very clear that I am deeply committed to the rule of law. I have a deep and abiding commitment to the fundamental American principle that we are a nation of laws, and not of men. That commitment is the core principle that has guided all of my professional endeavors. Our Governments most basic obligation is to protect its citizens from enemies who would destroy their lives and our nations way of life. The Department of Justices top priority is to prevent terror attacks against our nation. As we fight the War on Terror, we must always honor and observe the principles that make our society so unique and worthy of protection. We must be committed to preserving civil rights and civil liberties....After the attacks of 9/11, our government had fundamental decisions to make concerning how to apply treaties and U.S. law to an enemy that does not wear a uniform, owes no allegiance to any country, is not a party to any treaties, and most importantly does not fight according to the laws of war. As we have debated these questions, the President has made clear that he is prepared to protect and defend the United States and its citizens, and will do so vigorously, but always in a manner consistent with our nations values and applicable law, including our treaty obligations. I pledge that, if I am confirmed as Attorney General, I will abide by those commitments.
In the former, I have been privileged to advise the President and his staff. In the latter, I would have a far broader responsibility: to pursue justice for all the people of our great nation; to see that the laws are enforced in a fair and impartial manner for all Americans.
[JURIST] A US military spokesman said Wednesday that US Southern Command has opened an investigation into allegations of Iraqi prisoner abuse made by FBI personnel at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and made public last month (see this report in JURIST's Paper Chase) after a Freedom of Information Act request by the ACLU. Read a Southern Command press release here [PDF]. Review the FBI documents in JURIST's Gazette here. AFP has more.
[JURIST] TV Azteca, Mexico's second largest broadcaster, said Wednesday that civil fraud charges announced against it and its top executives yesterday by the US Securities and Exchange Commission were false and alleged that the SEC was pursuing it to distract attention from its own failing in policing corporate fraud in the US. The SEC says the broadcaster, its chairman and two former directors conspired to conceal profits made on a debt transaction between an Azteca subsidiary and Canadian telecommunications company Nortel Networks. Read the SEC press release here. Reuters has more on the original charges; the Financial Times has more on TV Azteca's allegations.
[JURIST] The driver of two French journalists who were captured in Iraq by Islamic militants and held for five months until their release in late December is suing the US military for mistreatment and torture, according to the office of maverick French advocate Jacques Verges. Muhamed al-Jundi, a Syrian, was captured along with the journalists but was later found in a house in Fallujah on November 12 during the American assault on the city. Verges says that his client was beaten, tortured with electric shocks, subjected to mock executions by the US soldiers and held incommunicado for a week before being released along with other Iraqis. A member of Saddam Hussein's Baath party, al-Jundi is now seeking political asylum in France. He says he did not make his claims public earlier because of concern for the lives of the French journalists who were still being held. From Paris, Nouvel Observateur has local coverage in French. AP has more.1:32 PM ET - al-Jundi told reporters Wednesday that he was better treated by his militant Iraqi captors than by American troops. AP has more (in French).
[JURIST] British Prime Minister Tony Blair Wednesday defended a controversial law allowing the detention of foreign terror suspects without charge or trial even in the face of a House of Lords ruling that the law is contrary to European human rights laws. The Lords ruled against the detention provisions 8-1 in a highly-publicized decision [PDF] on December 16. Speaking to the BBC, Blair warned against complacency, saying "The fear I have is what happens if the security services are telling us these people are a threat, we allow them to walk the street and then they end up killing large numbers of innocent people." The Blair government has not yet formally indicated what it will do legislatively in the wake of the ruling, although it appears to have rejected the option of releasing prisoners illegally detained. Listen to the full interview with Blair from BBC Radio 4's Today program here. The London Times has more.
[JURIST] White House counsel Alberto Gonzales personally sought a legal ruling on the extent of the president's authority to permit extreme interrogation practices in the name of national security in 2002, current and former administration officials said Tuesday, a revelation that could have serious repercussions in Gonzales confirmation hearings for the post of Attorney General slated for Thursday. Until now, Gonzales's role in the production of the Justice Department's resulting memo was not clear, and Gonzales responded to questions without revealing that the answers given in the memo were answers to his own inquiries. Gonzales's request, the officials said, is unusual in that he bypassed the office of the deputy attorney general, which is usually notified of politically delicate requests for legal opinions by executive branch agencies. The New York Times has more. Previously in JURIST's Paper Chase:
[JURIST] Sexual and physical abuse of Iraqi prisoners continued at least three months after news of Abu Ghraib was revealed according to accounts by alleged victims in the most recent issue of Vanity Fair magazine. The report, based on 60 hours of interviews with former detainees, quotes accounts of mistreatment that took place in July, three months after news of Abu Ghraib broke in April. The article quotes the detainees as claiming to have been sexually assaulted by American soldiers or being hooded, beaten, subjected to electric shock and kept in cages or crates. The articles also quotes a US military spokesman for detainee operations in Iraq as dismissing such assertions. Reuters has more. For more on Abu Ghraib and prison abuses from JURIST's Paper Chase, click here.
[JURIST] AP is reporting from Kyiv that losing presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych, who resigned as Ukrainian Prime Minister last week, has appealed the results from last month's election re-vote to Ukraine's Supreme Court. The high court has already rejected several compliants from the Yanukovych campaign originally filed with the Central Electoral Commission concerning the conduct of the poll which favored opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko.1:12 PM ET - BBC News has a full story on the appeal here.
[JURIST] A new State Department annual report issued Wednesday under the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act signed by President Bush in October 2004 says that global anti-Semitism is on the rise, particularly because of the number of poor, uneducated Muslims in Western Europe. The report notes that acts of anti-Semitism have increased in Eastern Europe in both number and severity since 2000, and anti-Semitism remains a sizable problem in Russia. The report cites ultra-nationalists, skinheads, and far-right radicals as the main transgressors. The report says that some governments, like France, Belgium and Germany, are taking action against anti-Semitism, but governments like Syria promote anti-Semitic ideals. Read the full text of the report here. AP has more.
[JURIST] Several House Democrats hope to delay President Bush's formal re-election by preventing Congress from counting Ohio's contested and pivotal electoral votes when it counts the final tally of electoral college votes from across the country Thursday. On November 2 Bush appeared to win the national electoral vote over Democrat John Kerry 286 to 252, although in a so-called "faithless elector" incident" a Minnesota elector presumably cast a write-in ballot for Democratic Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards - actually writing "John Ewards" - in a mid-December state college meeting, reducing Kerry's final electoral votes by one. The objectors, led by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., do not expect to change any results of the election through their challenge, but hope to draw attention to voting day irregularities. The objection still requires a Senate co-signer, which may be problematic in the delicate politics of Congress. A similar objection was raised after the 2000 election, but did not find a co-signer. AP has more.

The Big East Conference Tournament 2012 tips off Tuesday afternoon at Madison Square Garden, and this SB Nation New York StoryStream is the place to come for every tidbit of information. For a full schedule with results and updates of the bracket, click here.
When you have the talent and a National Championship to defend, it should be expected that a team plays with a fire and cohesiveness to try and accomplish that goal again. That hasn't been the case for the UConn men's basketball program, who enters the Big East Tournament clinging onto a NCAA Tournament at-large bid and looking for a few wins to make the March's big dance.
Head Coach: Jim Calhoun, 26th season
Calhoun has missed a lot of the season with health issues, and assistant George Blaney has taken over in the interim.
Team MVP: Jeremy Lamb, sophomore guard/forward
Lamb is one of the nation's most talented players and is by far UConn's best. As a sophomore, the silky-smooth Lamb averaged over 17 points a game, and he has the ability to get hot from the perimeter and take over a game. He isn't a deadly 3-point shooter but isn't bashful in putting up a lot of shots in hopes that he catches fire. Despite the Huskies being very talented as always, sometimes they become a little too dependent on Lamb.
Playing For: An NCAA tournament berth
If UConn loses Big East Tournament's opener on Tuesday vs. DePaul, there will be a lot of sweaty palms at 6:00 PM ET on Sunday in Storrs.
Breakdown: Last season, UConn went on a wild ride starting with the Big East Tournament and ending with a National Title. However, that doesn't seem like its in the cards this season. With Calhoun absent, it's been a whirlwind season for the Huskies. After starting the year 12-1, they've gone just 6-11 since, finishing 18-12 overall and 8-10 in league play.
Regardless, UConn has tons of talent behind Lamb, including point guard Shabazz Napier and the big bodies of freshman Andre Drummons and junior Alex Oriakhi. The problem with UConn this year hasn't been the amount of talent they can throw at you, it's been the ability of the team to play together and maximize each other's production. Napier has some games where he just gives you absolutely nothing, and the Huskies just don't have the bench depth to overcome that. If Napier and Lamb aren't firing on all cylinders, UConn has a tough time beating a quality opponent.
Big East Tournament Seed: No. 9, will play No. 16 DePaul Blue Demons (Noon ET).

Playing smart but simple rock that harks back to '60s garage, '70s punk, and '80s college rock, the Soft Pack feature vocalist/guitarist Matt Lamkin, guitarist Matty McLoughlin, bassist Dave Lantzman, and drummer Brian Hill. The band formed in San Diego in 2008, when Lamkin and McLoughlin decided to fill the void of straightforward, catchy rock bands in their town. At first, they called themselves the Muslims, and even released two October 2008 singles, Parasites/Walking with Jesus on I Hate Rock n' Roll and Extinction/My Flash on You on Sweet Tooth Records, under that moniker. However, negative and ignorant comments about the name prompted them to change it to the Soft Pack. Their first release under that name, the Nightlife/Bright Side single, appeared in March 2009, as did the Muslims EP, which gathered the tracks from their previous singles as well as some new songs that also later appeared on May 2009's Extinction single. Around that time the Soft Pack -- who now called Los Angeles home -- began recording their debut album with producer Eli Janney. The Soft Pack was released by Kemado in early 2010. ~ Heather Phares

Answer: Sugar alcohols are basically hydrogenated carbohydrates and often are used to replace table sugar in a wide variety of foods. In general, they are not as sweet as regular sugars and typically contain fewer calories as well. This is because they are incompletely absorbed in the small intestine, which makes them popular additions to many different diet and diabetic foods. On average, sugar alcohols provide about two calories per gram consumed, as opposed to traditional sugars, which provide 4 calories per gram. It's important to note that some of them (sorbitol and mannitol specifically) can cause gastrointestinal upset in high doses, but people also can develop a tolerance to these issues over time.
Some sugar alcohols are classified as food additives, while others have been given GRAS status by the FDA, which means they are Generally Recognized As Safe. The most common sugar alcohols include sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol, mannitol and erythritol.

A day after General Mills' CEO Ken Powell announced that his company would oppose the mean-spirited marriage amendment this fall facing Minnesota voters, Ken Charles, VP Global Diversity and Inclusion, shared his thoughts on the company's blog for the world to see.
In addition to talking about how General Mills will oppose the marriage amendment this fall, Charles goes on to talk about how he had the opportunity to testify before the U.S. Senate in support of the Employee Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA); an act that would extend protections in hiring, promoting and advancing LGBT employees.
And in a single moment, the world understands General Mills' commitment to diversity and inclusion. Here's hoping that other Minnesota-based companies follow their leadership.
I leave you with the final words of Ken Charles' blog post:
General Mills' mission is Nourishing Lives. Not just some. But all. Living that mission is part of who we are.

Week 6 is upon us, and as the NFL Redzone channel is flashing on the Thundervision screen above the field, players for the Broncos and Jets are warming up for the 2:05 p.m. MDT clash.
A roster move to announce — the team has elevated safety Kyle McCarthy and linebacker Kevin Alexander to the active roster from the practice squad. To make room for the move, the club waived offensive lineman D'Anthony Batiste and running back Andre Brown. The moves come in anticipation of a contest in which the Broncos will be without Brian Dawkins and Robert Ayers — two of five defensive players out for the game.
A change for this week's home game — the end zone is painted with all orange diamonds. A Broncos logo adorns midfield, and a pink ribbon celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month adorns both 25-yard lines.
Robert Ayers is on the field — but the only other Broncos warming up at the moment are returners. Syd'Quan Thompson, Eddie Royal and Perrish Cox are visible from up in the press box.
Jets special teamers Nick Folk, Steve Weatherford and Tanner Purdum are on the field in full uniform — the Jets will be wearing their all-whites this afternoon. The Broncos, as you may have heard, will don their orange alternate jerseys as part of "Orange Sunday."

Dogs love to munch away on grass, and some even make it part of their daily routine. Fortunately, most experts believe it isn't something you should worry about. So why exactly do they gobble up that green stuff in your yard?
Dogs, unlike their catty counterparts, are not carnivores. But they're not like your garden-variety omnivores, either. For tens of thousands of years, these opportunistic scavengers have devoured anything and everything, as long as it fulfilled their basic dietary requirements.
The modern dog, partly because of evolution and domestication, is no longer like its ancestors, which frequently ate their prey entirely, including the stomach contents of plant-eating animals. Instead, dogs today seek out plants as an alternative food source. Most commonly the plant is grass -- since that is what is closest at hand -- but wild canines are known to eat fruits, berries, and other vegetable matter, too.
Clearly, dogs can find their nutrients in a wide range of plant foods, but that doesn't explain why Fido usually throws up after eating grass.
I Have a Lab/Newfounland mix that regularly grazes on grass. Tonight he has been earing grass for over an hour and vomited once. He has been with me all day and has not been exposed to anything new new no change in diet. Any suggestions?
When dogs eat grass they do it because their stomach is upset and they are trying to cause themselves to throw up. a good thing for whateever is ailing them.
So you ARE saying they do it to make them throw up because of their stomach?
No, they eat grass because they are tired of eating dry or caned food. Dogs eat veggies. Try giving your dog a carrot. Most, not all, love carrots. Give them alot and they get orange poop. Grass can have stuff on it that makes them vomit. Pestisides and fertilizer. Dog bowls that are dirty can give dog food poisoning and vomit. Wash your bowl and give dog a carrot or lettuce. They love it.
Anne, it doesn't necessarily mean the dogs is "tired" of eating canned or dry dog food. Like a human they could be feeling ill due to the preservatives or an ingredient(s) in the food. Pets can suffer from food allergies just like a human being. All living beings are susceptible to allergies or incapable of not being able to eat certain plants. For instance, many people know that chocolate is poisonous to pets, but are not aware that other foods like onions are just as dangerous! A knowledgeable veterinarian will tell you that even if you pick the onions off a hamburger and feed the hamburger to a dog, the minor trace amounts of onion juice left behind on the hamburger could cause a dog to feel sick or worse. People need to always remember that animals are always way more sensitive to smells and other things we humans take for granted. Most vets will also tell you that when a human does not give an animal a consistent diet, but instead gives the dog a wide variety of food items to eat, that too can cause a dog to have an upset stomach.
Dogs stomachs are a lot like a human babies stomachs. A good and well-knowledgeable parent does not give a baby the same greasy, spicy, or other harsh foods that we adults eat. Instead we give babies a consistent bland diet, because their stomach are too sensitive and are susceptible to developing food sensitivities and allergies. For the same sensitive reasons, a good responsible pet owner will not make the mistake of thinking their dog's body is exactly the same as a human body or equal to a garbage disposal.
I have 2 dogs that will eat ANYTHING I throw to them from Asparagus to Zucchini and one that goes crazy over sugar snap peas. Onions have never bothered either one of them nor does garlic. Though I am very careful not to let the cats have anything with either garlic or onion as I have been told that both can cause a bleeding disorder in cats.

You could have replied to Sandra's comment with a little more compassion. Not everyone is as intelligent or knowledgeable as you. Maybe no one ever told her the dangers of feeding certain foods to dogs. Regardless, you don't have to act so high and mighty, you don't impress EVERYONE with this kind of attitude. A kind word goes a long way.
Your information and advice concerning dogs eating grass would be appealing to me had you not delivered it to Sandy with such a venomous attitude. Lighten up. We are interested in what you have to say, but why are you so critical of others who may not know all the answers.
I give my 9yr old, 80lb lab a Snickers bar(large) every so often. I have been since she was a pup. She loves em. Vet says she's very healthy. btw, think about switching over to de-caf there, Sunshine
Bad hair day, Tracy?
Tracy, your comment to Sandra was further justification for those who prefer interacting with animals over humans. Your response was heartless. You may be book smart but your way of dealing with those of perceived less intelligence by name-calling and insults cancels the information you shared. I'm reporting your post as abusive and I hope others did too.
I came across this site whilst trying to find out why my dog eats grass. I was amazed to find this post from Tracy Lynne. It must be the most self-important, obnoxious, badly-argued and patronising comments I've read in a long time.
Who starts a reply by saying "your comment is ridiculously void of intelligence"? Answer; only someone who is very under-confident about their own intelligence; otherwise why go to such lengths to try and belittle someone else's intelligence".
From what I can see, this is a great site, with great articles. However, it would be an even better one without people like Tracey Lynne making offensive, badly written and unhelpful posts.
Tracy...you are not nice. :(
Hi, I would just like to let you know that you should never give dogs onions or garlic, that is very very bad for them. Even if it may not seem to bother them, it is bad for them. Just be careful
I home cook for my lab because she had chronic diarrhea on just about every commercial dog food out there for the first two years of her life. She loves her salad and spinach most of the time. I notice that she doesn't eat grass when she gets her salad and spinach daily dose too. Also, she doesn't throw up when she eats the grass. I personally think its the same with people...when our body is lacking something we crave it. For instance....we get thirsty because our body is lacking water...On the other hand, I'm sure there is a soothing aspect to it when she has an upset stomach because salad does have probiotics, which reduces gas.
Contrary to popular belief, thanks to the Pet Food Industry, dogs are not omnivores, they are carnivores. Feeding your dog veggies is not a good idea since they don't have the proper enzymes to break down carbs/starches. Dogs have an underdevelope caecum and can't ferment veggies to extract nutrients. That's why the dogs poop is orange when you feed him carrots, because he couldn't digest it and every piece of the carrot went right through his body and out. Cats and dogs nibble on herbs, leaves, and grass, for medicinal purposes. Not for food. Dogs, and other carnivores, like cats, do not have amaylase in their saliva like omnivores (such as humans) or herbivores. Amaylase is an enzyme that breaks down starches and carbs into cellulose for digestion. That's why when we eat a potato or carrot it taste sweet. Dogs, not having amaylase in their salvia, taste nothing when they eat a carrot or a potato. The only reason a dog eats it is because you're offering it to him and he's hungry.
Orange poop? lol :D
Sounds like a great "red flag" !!!
Does it matter if the carrots are cooked or not? I would love a visible warning before I take a step too far :)
Cole, why is that so hard to believe? Remember our grandparents and farther relatives back used things like Caster Oil to cause vomiting when a child was sick. It was done in the hopes of riding the body of germs, so that the germs could not continue to multiply and therefore continue to reek havoc on a person's immune system. Also, take into account that human's are observers and followers. Since the time of our ancestors, the cave dwellers, we have watched and mimicked what other living creatures do for survival. How is a dog eating grass any different than a "health conscious" person that drinks or eats wheat grass, flax seed, wheat germ, barley, or other types of grains and grass varieties?
I once tried drinking wheat grass from a health food store and I wanted to vomit!! After that taste experience, I don't blame any living being from wanting to do the same!!! Think of it this way, a dog cannot up and drive their self to a Rite-Aide or CVS store to purchase ipecac or other stomach relief remedies, so the alternative is to eat something that they know will not digest well and hopefully cause them to expel the germs or item that is making them feel awful.
Not all dogs eat grass because the have upset stomaches. My German Shepherd at it ion a daily basis from spring through fall and also certain leaves. It has a sweet taste that they like. It didn't make my dog sick and my vet said it was not a problem and not to be concerned about it. She lived until she was almost 11 years old. My new Shepherd likes to root. Still trying to figure that one out.
My dog eats a lot of grass right after he dines on the turds i did not see when cleaning the yard.This has been a disturbing thing to me as i kiss that dog on the face.At least the grass cleans his teeth of the yummy treats he just scored.I read up on why they eat crap and have found that it is in their genes to eat scat or droppings of poop to keep other animals from tracking them.I think my dog just likes the taste of turds.He eats them when he has a perfectly good dish of purina there for him to eat at will.He does eat his regular food though.The cat crap is the worst.There are several feral cats in my area and when they dump my dog thinks it is a thanks giving feast.I am worried about disease from the cats that have never seen a vet.The dogs like cat poop more than dog poop because there is a lot of protein still in the cat poop and the dogs know this will sustain them.Instinct and survival are one and the same with dogs as one leads to the other in the wild.I really got to get my pooch to gargle or something after meals.lol
thanks for the great laugh this morning!!! I saw your post when trying to figure out why my dog eats grass. Good luck with the breath freshener for your dog!
"Hello David
I notice you give your dog purina and thought you might be interested to read some of the comments here:
Thanks for the education Amanda.I am switching to iams eukanuba dog food.I have had great results in the past and have found it hard to find lately.I will have to get assertive in my search for this product and just pay the price as nothing is too good for my dogs.Regards,Dave
Your dog eats turds because he needs probiotics. A diet of commercial pet food aka Purina is devoid of live enzymes that he needs for digestion.
I read that if you give your dog pineapple, there's something in it that discourages a dog from then munching they're poop.
Not always. I have a Rottweiler that eats grass on a regular basis and does not vomit. I asked my vet about this and she said it is perfectly fine for her to do this. Sometimes a dog will eat grass if they have an upset stomach, but not always.
I have a Rottweiler as well and we call her our Moo-Cow - she is constantly eating grass. Our vet has not found anything physically wrong with her and we have tried different things with her diet. She continues to eat grass and rarely vomits. Good to know that someone else has a Rottweiler with a similar habit!
I'm taking my dog to the vet asap, She keeps puking up everything, I thought at first she was doing it bc she ate too fast so I gave her smaller amounts more frequently, it seemed to work, but at the end of the day, it all came up. I heard you can give a dog antacids like pepto, or tums, any advice?
Dogs eat plants. Try a carrot if you don't beleive me. Dogs also get food poisoning from dirty dishes, especially if the food is a higher grade and caked on the bowl to dry. Have you washed your dogs dish with soap and water, lately? Are you familiar with the 24 hour flu and slight case of food poisoning? My three chi's love salad. When they can't get it, they eat my plants. Some plants are toxic. Plants, especially grass, can have fertilizer or pestisides on them that cause the dog to vomit. The dog may already feel sick and need to vomit. My dog had a case of the 24 hour flu due to a dirty dog dish and food that did not have as many perservatives in it. I had switched to a good brand without persevatives. The cheap stuff has perservatives and that is not good for your dogs liver and kidneys. My little girl (dog) vomited all night. All three did after licking dirty bowls. I was about to run to the 24 hour vet, but decided to one last thing. I gave her milk the next morning. She wouldn't touch it but my boy, who vomited the night before than stopped, drank it all. I gave them lettece. She gobbled it all up and did not vomit. Later I tried cheese and she was ok. I washed all the bowls and threw away the unused portion. I opened a fresh can. My dogs are fine.
Our 12 year's Cairn terrier sometimes eager to eat soil.especially when he has gassy state or upset stomach.
What does that means?
He has liver failure,and remove gall bladder 2years ago.
and now he is under medication with choleretic drug.
"my dog its grass and then vomites it up next day. The last two days he has had blood in his stool. Straining to poop and it looks like water. My question is, is he constipated or should I be really worried about his health? Rosco is 5yrs old in human yrs."
As this is a real old post to reply to i am curious to see if you did take your dog into the vet for a check up.I hope so and i hope your dog is ok.
Anytime your dog is passing blood you should immediately get her treatment. My baby was doing the same thing as was diagnosed with pancreatitis & an irritated colon. She required iv fluids, antibiotics, and some other meds. This at midnite, but she is worth all the inconvenience. She is 11. I had another dog who had some similar symptoms and she had lymphoma, so you can never really know. You have to take her to the vet and talk to them about different concerns you have. You have to know your dog, like you know your own body and how it works normally. They can't tell us what is wrong so it is up to the owner to know what is wrong.
Our dog has just vomited some blood and has had dark black stool. We researched that if the stool is dark blood the problem is in the upper digestive system because the blood has been digested. If it is red it could be from the lower digestive system, colon, rectum. The causes we found are undetermined by vets and most likely dietary. we have decided to alkalize her diet, put silver colloid in her water and treat her with colour therapy.
here is a site with lots of articles but I find the pressure to see/pay for a vet is a little much.http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/digestive/c_dg_melena#.UHLk7xhhg7A
Dogs eat grass to cure themselves. They would particularly eat dog grass (Agropyron repens) because of its curative properties.
They also eat it to induce vomiting. They are trying to get out of their system something they ate that is causing them pain.
You were almost there when you commented that, "The modern dog, partly because of evolution and domestication, is no longer like its ancestors, which frequently ate their prey entirely, including the stomach contents of plant-eating animals."
What's MOST important are that the partially-digested grasses found in the prey's stomach contain active enzymes! Not only do these natural, gastric juices and enzymes help the herbivore break their foods down, they also aid the wolf's digestive system to help him break down and utilitize the rest of his meal.
Kibbles and canned food is cooked, so the enzymes are lost. Sure, many spray pre and pro-biotics onto the food at the end of the process, but it's not nearly as beneficial as them consuming the natural real deal. Highly processed foods are very taxing on your dog's system, the ingredients being void of nearly all their natural moisture, so it's not uncommon for a dog to have some tummy upset. They have the right idea to seek out grass from the yard, but won't find the benefits of those enzymes.
This is why it's especially great to add Green Tripe to your dog's diet! You'll notice a big difference in their teeth and breath as well as their digestive system. Remember that it's the partially-digested contents of a cow's stomach so it's bound to be a little smelly. Perhaps this is why dogs love it so much! Guaranteed if you add tripe to their diet you'll see a large decrease in their yard-mowing!
Great input, but i may not agree with you on the evolution thing that you said in here. Dogs donot or lack the cellulases and hence they eat grass just to egest anything that might have got in to there body through food or something and they just eat and chew grass to egest the foreign substance from the body. Infact when they chew up grasses, they make the sensation to there tongue and nearby glands to make the puking action so as to egest the unwanted substance from there stomach. Adding tripe may be a good suggestion by you.
Is it possible that dogs eat grass as a form of pain relief ? I have a 10 yr old collie cross who unfortunately suffers with arthritis in his back leg joints. I have noticed that during long walks or too many throws of the ball he stops and nibbles on grass and never sick.
I typed a bit about green tripe in the comment above this one...it could be that he pushes himself a bit more than he should in his older age and has digestive upset. I'd try adding green tripe to his meals. It should get him more excited about dinner time and aid in his digestion. If you're already adding a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement then you're doing him a huge favor with those joints!
Our dogs just seem to lik grass. we also have a chive plant our Lab goes crazy pulling the little blades off We can always tell when she's been at the chives by her "chive" breath.
My dog likes grass to and not because she feels sick. However I don't letter eat yard grass because of the possibility of fertilizers and stuff.. Fortuantely i live where there are hillsides that get water/rain and there are some very green grass/weeds. I personally think that's better but then I'm no vet.
That's actually a way to get rid of their irritating bowel movement and to puke out. Actually there reverse peristalsis is not automated and needs arousal. So they try to chew the grass out and puke in turn.
My lab mix eats grass every morning and then throws up. He then comes in and eats his normal breakfast and is just fine. Why would he do this every morning?
People don't know how important healthy food are. You can easily avoid these kinds of diseases with healthy food. I have 12 years old Golden Terrier and I always prepare him homemade food. His trainer told me that dogs can live 27 years! Please don't give them commercial food. There are lots of healthy homemade food recipes which I prepare for my little Atom.Please prepare them healthy food.
My dog eats grass. Lots of it. Everyday and he never throws it up. He dives into it and rips it to shreds. He gets mouthfuls and eat them happily.
Dog eating grass is mostly associated with there puking habits. Sometimes when the dog engulfs any foreign substance which may cause irritation in there bowel movement, they occasionally do that to get rid of that.

Historic Preservation - Technical Procedures |
Spectitle: | Unsticking A Wood Double-Hung Window Sash |
Procedure code: | 0861003R |
Source: | Hspg Prepared For Nps - Sero |
Division: | Doors And Windows |
Section: | Wood Windows |
Last Modified: | 02/24/2012 |
Details: | Unsticking A Wood Double-Hung Window Sash UNSTICKING A WOOD DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOW SASH PART 1---GENERAL 1.01 SUMMARY A. This procedure includes guidance and procedures required to inspect and loosen a wood sash. B. A wood window sash can bind or stick for many reasons including: window nailed shut; accumulation of paint and/or dirt; humidity causing wood expansion; bowed members; weatherstripping too tight; or building settlement. NOTE: Some sash were fixed, installed without operable parts such as single hung sash. C. See 01100-07-S for general project guidelines to be reviewed along with this procedure. These guidelines cover the following sections: 1. Safety Precautions 2. Historic Structures Precautions 3. Submittals 4. Quality Assurance 5. Delivery, Storage and Handling 6. Project/Site Conditions 7. Sequencing and Scheduling 8. General Protection (Surface and Surrounding) These guidelines should be reviewed prior to performing this procedure and should be followed, when applicable, along with recommendations from the Regional Historic Preservation Officer (RHPO). 1.02 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION A. A window sash in proper working order is freely sliding, has balancing and moving apparatus in working order, and has operable sash lock(s) to deter air infiltration. In addition, operable sash often have weatherstripping and adjustable interior stops to allow for seasonal swelling and shrinkage. PART 2---PRODUCTS 2.01 MATERIALS A. Replacement stock is available for stop and parting beads. Be sure replacement is an exact duplicate of the original. Milling a new piece may be required. 2.02 EQUIPMENT A. A device for cutting paint seals such as "Window zipper" (Red Devil), or approved equal; available at hardware stores. B. A rubber mallet and block of wood for jamb and stop straightening C. Utility knife for cutting paint seals D. Paint scraper E. Wide putty knife or "window zipper" to break paint seal F. Screwdriver and screws to tighten jamb into place G. Hand soap or household paraffin for waxing the stop and parting beads H. Flat steel pry bar to loosen sash from outside I. Carpenter's nippers to remove nails J. 1" chisel to scrape paint in channel K. Sandpaper L. Planer M. Nail to secure sash cord/chain N. Soap and water PART 3---EXECUTION 3.01 EXAMINATION A. Determine if sash is an operable design and not fixed. 3.02 ERECTION, INSTALLATION, APPLICATION A. The sash may be nailed shut: 1. Check around general area of sash for the presence of any nails. 2. If sash is nailed shut with finish nails, drive them completely through with nailset. 3. If large headed nails were used, pull them out with carpenter's nippers being careful not to damage wood. B. The sash may be painted shut: 1. Break the paint seal between the stops and the sash. 2. Use a "window zipper" or a wide putty knife with a rubber mallet. 3. Do this on the inside and outside of the window. 4. CAREFULLY insert a heavy screwdriver between the sash rail and jamb at groove for sash cord. TAKE CARE NOT TO MAR OR DAMAGE FINISH AND/OR SASH. 5. Work at both sides of jambs to loosen sash. 6. If window still will not open, use a pry bar on the outside of the sash. TAKE CARE TO PROTECT THE SASH AND SILL FROM DENTS WITH A WIDE PUTTY KNIFE OR WOOD BLOCKING. INTENSE PRESSURE ON A SMALL AREA SUCH AS THAT FROM A SMALL SCREWDRIVER OR FLAT PRYBAR CAN GOUGE OR DENT THE WOOD. C. If the window has been opened but is difficult to move: 1. Remove any dirt from the channel, stops, weatherstripping and parting bead. 2. Remove any globs of dried paint from the stops and parting bead with a 1" chisel and sand edges after paint is removed. 3. Lubricate stops and parting bead with hand soap or household paraffin. D. If sash still binds, determine the point of friction: 1. If the friction occurs along the jamb; with a hammer, tap a wood block approximately 6" long 5 or 6 times against the back of channel to force the jamb back into place. If this allows the sash to move more freely, screw the jamb into the jack stud behind at 3" intervals around the point of friction. 2. If the friction occurs with the stop, use the same procedure as above, but with less force and do not drive screws into the stop. E. Problems such as humidity, paint build-up, or weatherstripping applied too tightly require more aggressive repair: 1. If the window is easily operable during dry times of the year but will not work properly during humid times, then humidity is to blame. Repair should not be attempted until the time of year with highest humidity. See section 1.02 A; If the window has adjustable interior stops, it may be desirable to refurbish and restore them to use. a. The sash must be carefully planed and should be done only once. b. Take off as little of the sash surface as possible to make the window operable during all times of the year. c. Remove the sash as described below with the problem of paint build-up. 2. If the sash binds because of the build-up of layers of paint, remove the paint. To remove the paint properly, first remove the sash: a. Remove the stop; break the paint seal between the inside stop and the window frame. Pry the stop away from the frame with a stiff putty knife, small pry bar, or wide chisel. b. Pull one side of sash out to expose the sash cord/chain. c. Remove cord/chain from both sides of sash. Temporarily secure the end of cord/chain with a nail through the cord/chain and across the pully hole so that it will not fall into the pocket. Lift out the sash. d. Remove loose paint from all members by sanding, and repaint. e. Reinstall parting bead and sash. f. When reinstalling inner stop, check position in relation to the sash one nail at a time so that sash will fit snugly in place and will not bind or rattle. g. To remove the upper sash - lower the sash; remove the parting bead from the top down; at midpoint, raise the sash and continue. Follow the same procedure as above. 3. If weatherstripping applied too tightly is suspected to be the problem, removal and reinstallation of weatherstripping will be required. END OF SECTION |

In the process of machine-"harvesting" MARC records from CONTENTdm, OCLC converts some Dublin Core elements into MARC fields that are not typically used in human-created MARC records. For example, personal and corporate name added entries appear in field 720--Uncontrolled Name rather than the 1xx and 7xx fields use for controlled names, and all subject headings appear in field 653 (Index Term-Uncontrolled), regardless of whether or not a controlled vocabulary was used in creation of the Dublin Core metadata.
For this reason, and because the records result from a particular, defined cataloging project, they are given the encoding Level 3, defined by OCLC as: "Abbreviated level. A brief record that does not meet Minimal-level cataloging specifications. Headings in the record may reflect established forms to the extent that such forms are available at the time the record was created." Level 3 records harvested from Dublin Core records are not abbreviated, but they are, as noted above, atypical.
Experimental use of software on the part of Lincoln Trail Libraries System cataloging center staff to convert these atypical fields into the MARC fields normally used in human-created MARC records has proved prohibitively time-consuming.
This policy applies only to Level 3 records created during a CONTENTdm-to-MARC conversion process. Other Level 3 OCLC records are typically extremely brief and substandard and must be upgraded by qualified cataloging staff before importation into LINC.

"Hi, Fidelity" is about a trio of wealthy Hong Kong women of leisure ("tai-tai," in Cantonese vernacular) who take revenge for their husbands' philandering and frequent absences by engaging in extramarital affairs with young gigolos at a karaoke club across the border in mainland China. It takes a notably nonjudgmental look at marital infidelity, gangsters, lesbians and male sex workers. The film is the first to be directed by Calvin Poon since 1986, when he made his debut with "Kiss Me Goodbye." "I tried very hard to make other films," says Mr. Poon, who has a drawer full of unproduced scripts to prove it.

Turning Technologies has released an update to TurningPoint, the company's classroom polling tool. With the new version, Turning has consolidated three of its polling tools into one and added enhanced support for OS X.
TurningPoint had been a plugin that added live polling capabilities to Microsoft PowerPoint using student response devices (classroom clickers).

Hello , i want to know whats is the compatible ram with this processor AMD Athlon X4 740 (3.2 GHz) because i cant find nowhere informations about this cpu ...
Socket FM2 right?
DDR3-1866 or higher as its internal memory controler is 1866MHz, preferably a kit of 2 or 4 modules like for example a Crucial BallistiX Tactical 8GB DDR3-1866 CL9 kit (2x4GB)
And actualy you should look at the Motherboard manufacturers site as they usualy list what memory is compatible, but i wouldnt go under 1866MHz, higher is ok, it will than be clocked down to 1866MHz.
Notebook specs: AMD Athlon X2 QL-64 2.1Ghz, AMD 780G Chipset, ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 512MB, OCZ 2x2GB DDR2-800, WD Scorpio Black 320GB, 15.6" 1366x768 Screen.
okay , so 1600mhz is not enough and will not be compatible ??? you are very sure ??
you can use 1066, 1600, or 1866mhz all are compatible.
ok , thanx you for your answers !! i took some 1866 mhz to be sure !

A business group came to Hamilton County on Thursday on a quest for three things — sewer sludge, trash, and land for a facility to turn it all into diesel fuel.
Several county commissioners gathered in their office after the morning agenda session as county Trustee Bill Hullander introduced them to the representatives of Earth, Wind & Fire Technologies LLC.
Chairman and CEO N. Dennis Wherrell told commissioners he plans to invest more than $200 million of private money in a diesel production business that would produce an estimated 1,000 jobs.
Hullander said the company leaders were making an impromptu visit to the county. He said he knew about the project because his neighbor, Sam Owens, is a consultant for the company.
"We definitely, definitely are not trying to go ahead of the city of Chattanooga," Hullander said of the project, which would require contracts with the city for sewer byproducts and access to landfills.
Wherrell told commissioners he plans to meet with city officials to discuss possibly contracting with them for sewer sludge and trash, which he calls "stock."
Commissioner Mitch McClure said, "I like how you use the word 'stock' for garbage."
Wherrell said employee salaries would be from $35,000-$75,000 a year. When asked about environmental effects of the operation, Wherrell said the plant would produce zero emissions.
The company needs about 40-60 acres with rail access, preferably near water, Wherrell said. It would build a facility where carbon pellets created in the landfill can be turned into military-grade diesel through a microwave process.
Operations manager Terry Keeney said a ton of trash should be able to produce about 80 gallons of diesel fuel.
"They were looking at the old ethanol plant beside the freeway in Marion County," Hullander said. "For whatever reason, that's not going to work for them."
Ansley Haman covers Hamilton County government. A native of Spring City, Tenn., she grew up reading the Chattanooga Times and Chattanooga Free Press, which sparked her passion for journalism. Ansley's happy to be home after a decade of adventures in more than 20 countries and 40 states. She gathered stories while living, working and studying in Swansea, Wales, Cape Town, South Africa, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Ga., and Knoxville, Tenn. Along the way, she interned for ...
Scam Alert! Scam Alert! County officials do not need to spend a minute considering this pipe dream. Mr. Hullander should be ashamed that his buddy used him to gain an audience for this wacky idea.
Sounds way to good to be true. I agree with ditdahdit that it is a scam.
The only true fact that the scammer did state is, "the plant would produce zero emissions". And hopefully will receive zero dollars from taxpayers.
Where is his data? publish that, 80 gallons of diesel from a ton of garbage..this does sound too good to be true. Of course , we spent 150 thousand to research changing the name of the airport. I guess word gets around.

A former Prince George's County school bus driver has pleaded guilty to two counts of producing child pornography.
Scott Smallwood, 29, of Upper Marlboro, faces up to 30 years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 5.
Authorities said Smallwood left a microSD memory card on the counter of a 7-11 convenience store located in Clinton, Md. that contained images of himself having sex with a 7-year-old boy.
The Prince George's County Public Schools employed Smallwood as a bus driver, mostly for elementary school aged children. Smallwood also drove for a church at night.

The hot, lazy days of summer arrived in our area a few weeks ahead of schedule this year, so it's time to find some quick and easy cool foods to prepare. In our area, Indigo Farms Produce, Holden Bros. Farm Market and, of course, our Farmers Market in Shallotte have an abundance of lettuces, squash, berries, corn, cucumbers, peppers, peas, fruits, melons and tomatoes. Take home everything that looks good. Don't worry about how you're going to use it all—you only need a salad bowl and an appetite.
Here are lunch menus for Brunswick County's nine Senior Nutrition Sites for next week.

Olive oil has long been one of the most popular and healthy cooking oils in the world. This Mediterranean wonder has long been a top selling oil in America and throughout the rest of the world.
Whether it's used in cooking with sauces or used in dressings or just drizzled over fresh vegetables or pasta, extra-virgin olive oil, the highest quality of oil, has an acidity of less than one percent, according to the International Olive Oil Council.
Here are lunch menus for Brunswick County's nine Senior Nutrition Sites for next week. Monday, June 21 Chicken/dumplings, pickled beets, peaches, biscuit/margarine, beverage.

Summer barbecues mean ribs, steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs and plenty of baked beans and a variety of salads.
My favorite summer salad is potato salad and everyone has their own special way of making it. Some like using white potatoes, while others like using red or Yukon Gold or even sweet potatoes. Whatever kind of potatoes you use, most contain a combination of onions, celery, peppers and hard-boiled eggs. Where the biggest difference comes in, though, is the seasoning.
The secret ingredient
Monday, June 7
Pork chop, rice pilaf, succotash, fresh fruit—apple, dinner roll/margarine, beverage.
Tuesday, June 8
Barbecue chicken, corn casserole, green peas, pineapple tidbits, whole-wheat bread/margarine, beverage.
Wednesday, June 9
Beef macaroni casserole, green beans, applesauce, sugar cookies, Italian bread/margarine, beverage.
Thursday, June 10
High-sugar, low-carb, alcohol or no, there's a cool beverage for every inclination. The sunny season and chance to raise a cool one with friends on the patio or by the pool can't arrive soon enough. So as summer descends upon us, let's just relax in the comfort of our home and enjoy this time while it lasts.
The fruity drink you choose may be a berry-flavored vodka creation, a blender drink using fresh fruits or a twist on lemonade. Seeking something more adventurous? How about a trying a gelatin shot, which is not just for the college set anymore?

This June will be the 10th annual observance of National Safety Month, originated by the National Safety Council in an effort to promote public awareness and ultimately decrease the number of injuries and deaths. Kitchen fires kill hundreds of people and injure thousands every year in this country. According to the National Fire Protection Association, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in this country. Whether you are cooking outside on the grill or inside in your kitchen, it is important to pay close attention to what you are doing.
A few days ago, we decided to have some hot dogs on the grill for dinner, along with some baked beans, potato salad and coleslaw. Being from northeast Ohio, my favorite topping is Stadium Mustard, which had its origin at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.

Thirty First Ladies Build in Partnership with Habitat
Americus, Ga. - July 13, 1999 - Habitat for Humanity International announced today that 30 governors' wives have committed to participate in "First Ladies Build." State first ladies will work with other women volunteers to build Habitat for Humanity houses in or near their state capitals.
Arkansas First Lady Janet Huckabee and Indiana First Lady Judy O'Bannon have already completed their First Ladies Build homes. First Ladies Build is the premier program of Habitat for Humanity's recently formed Women Build department and will continue through 2000.
Cathy Keating, first lady of Oklahoma, joined Mrs. Huckabee at her build. "What better way to be a part of the American Dream than for women to join together to build houses, futures and memories with families in need?" she asked.
Habitat for Humanity International formed the Women Build department to promote women's involvement in building homes with people in need. A women-built house provides women with a non-threatening environment in which to learn construction skills.
On a Women Build, as with any build, the Habitat partner family works alongside the volunteers to contribute "sweat equity." The partner family then purchases the home through a no profit, no-interest loan.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit worldwide, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Habitat for Humanity brings together people with resources and people in need to build simple, decent, affordable houses. The homes are sold to those in need at no profit, through no-interest loans. Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 75,000 houses, providing shelter for more than 375,000 people worldwide. It has affiliates in every state of the United States and in 63 other countries around the world.

Loved this recipe! Been trying to eat less cholesterol and this one has 68gs. Serving size was plenty, though I did use pilsbury pre-made bisuits. I also used all chicken broth instead of the 1/4 cup water. The slight curry taste makes this amazing. Will be doing this again, and recomending this to family.
Reviewed Mar. 12, 2013
I use a ToH recipe that is very similar to this one that is done in the crock pot. I have not made this one yet. Was just curious if anyone has used refrigerated or frozen biscuits or made them with bisquick as a "quick fix" rather than making the biscuits from scratch???

We love this recipe. I use all different veggies and everyone raves about the flavor

Believe it or not, but there are some fans of the Los Angeles Lakers who have been clamoring to have Andrew Bynum back in town showing their unhappiness for Dwight Howard this season.
The funny thing is, a lot of fans in Philadelphia would probably be fine if Bynum left town too.
It has just been that kind of season for Bynum, a season that is seen the Sixers' 7-foot center gain more headlines for his hair, rehabbing habits and set back with his injured knees. Now comes this not-so promising statement from Bynum regarding his comeback and debut for Philadelphia:
"When I get on the court, that's when I'll be ready."
By that time it may be too little, too late for both Bynum and the Sixers.
Bone bruises in both knees have kept Bynum off the floor this season and are now fending off talk that he recently suffered a setback. Just last week, Bynum said he hoped to be ready for the Sixers by the end of February, but before Philadelphia took on the Los Angeles Cl...

I received a box of test strips for my daughter but no meter
This exact thing happened in the Contour USB thread. I said screw it and went to Walmart and got their reli-on $15 meter and $10/50 strips for it. My insurance decided to be a jerk and didn't cover strips for either the Contour Next EZ or USB. If your insurance will cover the strips for the Contour Next EZ, this sounds like an excellent freebie, if not it's a waste of time IMO. |
I just got mine today, two days after I got the shipping confirmation email. There was a very nice letter inside, upgrading me to a Contour Next USB and including strips and a discount card from Bayer that will reduce my strips cost to very inexpensive....in fact there was a note attached to the card that said if my cost for strips was more than $15, that I should use the card...awesome since even though I have "good" insurance the co-pays kill me with diabetic supplies. The printout to take to he drs office will be very nice too..Much thanks to the OP for the link!!! |
FREE USB Bayer Contour Next EZ Blood Glucose Meter
Use code 200https://offers.bayerdia |
I just did this again. I did it about 2 months ago and never got one (confirmed in Firefox history to be on July 25). Hope it goes through with the 200 code this time. It looks like Medtronic is switching me to the Bayer wireless meter and I would like a 2nd one to leave at work.
Thanks for the post. |
Got mine yesterday, only took a week..They gave me the Contour Next EZ, with ten strips, ten lancets, the lancet poker for your finger (whatever that's called I forget!!), a zippered black nylon case, control solution, and miscellaneous papers. Everything you need to check your blood sugar in one box--awesomeness thanks again OP!!!
Thank you. |
