"No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby."
A common belief among TV executives is that everyone who watches TV has the intellect of Beavis and Butt-Head.
This belief is a root cause of Executive Meddling, especially common among shows intended for children. Kids can legitimately be said to be less knowledgeable than adults, though we all probably know a depressingly large number of exceptions.
Of course, there is a "moron" demographic out there, and it has its members (though no-one is sure how big it is), but executives seem to believe that every person who watches TV belongs in it. This may be due to something known as the "80-20" rule in business — in this case that market-research shows 80% of money spent on television-advertised products comes from the lowest 20% in terms of education and intelligence, so show-content is naturally geared towards them.
On top of that, not only are viewers stupid, they are also intolerant of people and things unlike themselves, ignorant, hate change, need to be instantly satisfied, and have the attention span of a goldfish.

I really liked these chair cushions. The color was just what I wanted. There are very thick, real nice, perfect for what I need. I had bought two handmade Amish chairs, that are very uncomfortable, but these cushions helped. I looked at a lot of other web sites, and this was by far, the best price. Good deal for the money.
Had looked in many different stores for just the right cushions for a large wooden rocker. They all were too small and too thin. I found these here on Overstock.com and immediately knew that these would be perfact, I am not disappointed!
I looked all over town for a new cushion set for my rocking chair and couldn't find any. When I checked with Overstock, there it was--right color, right style, right price. The cushion is so firm and thick that my five-year-old grandson commented on how good it felt to sit in the rocker now.
Love these chairs pads. They are of an excellent quality and comfortable. Unfortunately, it did not go with the chair so we had to return them. I would definitely recommend these chair pads to anyone who is looking to replace old ones or just new for a new chair.
These cushions are top quality. Great craftsmanship and so much better made than most anything you'll find elsewhere at an incredible price. Serious padding! They look and feel terrific on my antique white rocker. Make sure to measure your rocker before to ensure you select the right size. Will take a little longer to deliver because they are made once you order. Worth the wait!
These are well made and a bargain--get back and seat pillow that match and tie on well to the chairs with sturdy ties. These also don't get squashed and lumpy like others I have bought. A good quality "buy"
Color, material, looks, fit and price all very acceptable!!!!
This product is soft and plush. Excellent quality. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size and must return the item.
This rocking chair pad set is of very high quality and has shown no sign of wear or flattening so far.
Items must be returned in new or unused condition and contain all original materials included with the shipment. More details

Exon-Junction Complex Components Specify Distinct Routes of Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay with Differential Cofactor Requirements
Molecular Cell, Volume 20, Issue 1, 7 October 2005, Pages 65-75
Niels H. Gehring, Joachim B. Kunz, Gabriele Neu-Yilik, Stephen Breit, Marcelo H. Viegas, Matthias W. Hentze and Andreas E. Kulozik
SummaryMessenger RNAs (mRNAs) bearing premature translation termination codons (PTCs) are degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). For mammalian NMD, current models propose a linear pathway that involves the splicing-dependent deposition of exon-junction complexes (EJCs) and the sequential action of the NMD factors UPF3, UPF2, and UPF1. We show here that different EJC proteins serve as entry points for the formation of distinguishable NMD-activating mRNPs. Specifically, Y14, MAGOH, and eIF4A3 can activate NMD in an UPF2-independent manner, whereas RNPS1-induced NMD requires UPF2. We identify the relevant regions of RNPS1, eIF4A3, Y14, and MAGOH, which are essential for NMD and provide insights into the formation of complexes, that classify alternative NMD pathways. These results are integrated into a nonlinear model for mammalian NMD involving alternative routes of entry that converge at a common requirement of UPF1.

UPF1 Association with the Cap-Binding Protein, CBP80, Promotes Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay at Two Distinct Steps
Molecular Cell, Volume 39, Issue 3, 13 August 2010, Pages 396-409
Jungwook Hwang, Hanae Sato, Yalan Tang, Daiki Matsuda and Lynne E. Maquat
SummaryNonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is an mRNA surveillance mechanism that in mammals generally occurs upon recognition of a premature termination codon (PTC) during a pioneer round of translation. This round involves newly synthesized mRNA that is bound at its 5′ end by the cap-binding protein (CBP) heterodimer CBP80-CBP20. Here we show that precluding the binding of the NMD factor UPF1 to CBP80 inhibits NMD at two steps: the association of SMG1 and UPF1 with the two eukaryotic release factors (eRFs) during SURF complex formation at a PTC, and the subsequent association of SMG1 and UPF1 with an exon-junction complex. We also demonstrate that UPF1 binds PTC-containing mRNA more efficiently than the corresponding PTC-free mRNA in a way that is promoted by the UPF1-CBP80 interaction. A unifying model proposes a choreographed series of protein-protein interactions occurring on an NMD target.

Upf1 Phosphorylation Triggers Translational Repression during Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay
Cell, Volume 133, Issue 2, 18 April 2008, Pages 314-327
Olaf Isken, Yoon Ki Kim, Nao Hosoda, Greg L. Mayeur, John W.B. Hershey and Lynne E. Maquat
SummaryIn mammalian cells, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) generally requires that translation terminates sufficiently upstream of a post-splicing exon junction complex (EJC) during a pioneer round of translation. The subsequent binding of Upf1 to the EJC triggers Upf1 phosphorylation. We provide evidence that phospho-Upf1 functions after nonsense codon recognition during steps that involve the translation initiation factor eIF3 and mRNA decay factors. Phospho-Upf1 interacts directly with eIF3 and inhibits the eIF3-dependent conversion of 40S/Met-tRNAiMet/mRNA to translationally competent 80S/Met-tRNAiMet/mRNA initiation complexes to repress continued translation initiation. Consistent with phospho-Upf1 impairing eIF3 function, NMD fails to detectably target nonsense-containing transcripts that initiate translation independently of eIF3 from the CrPV IRES. There is growing evidence that translational repression is a key transition that precedes mRNA delivery to the degradation machinery. Our results uncover a critical step during NMD that converts a pioneer translation initiation complex to a translationally compromised mRNP.

Corresponding authorSummary
- In this issue of Molecular Cell (Bruno et al., 2011), regulation of the key nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) proteins UPF1 and MNL51 (BTZ) by miRNA 128 is discovered to fine-tune gene expression in brain differentiation, thus documenting a novel cooperation of two posttranscriptional mechanisms of gene regulation in developmental decision making.

California Hammock Hikers??
A shout out to California Hammock dwellers,
Maybe it's just me but I don't see alot of hammocks out here on the trails?? I started last year with my ENO double nest on parts of the Muir trail and then some hikes in central CA never seeing anyone eles in a Hammock most times on the trail I was a conversation piece... I know back East it seams to be massive but whats the health of Hammocks out here? In my attempts to promote the Hammock Disorder I have orderd 30 yards of 1.9 ripstop and engadged our local scouting group in making some gathered end hammocks!!! It can be done we can save CALIFORNIA |

Testify and amen!
It's true, though. Except for Yosemite Valley, I almost never see hammocks (and I'm pretty sure those hammocks are from visiting hammock dignitaries). Still, glad to have you onboard--we'll hang California one hiker at a time! (not in the bad, civil-war-court-martial-way, but rather, in the good, hammocky, way... I don't believe we have to get THAT extreme--yet ).

I started hanging last summer, and since I didn't want to be the only one, I had to convince 3 of my buddies to do the same. 4 in one shot. Guess we have to be the ambassadors for hanging.

The only hangers that I have seen on the trail were my two friends and I. We've been to the Tehachapi mountains, along portions of the PCT, and all over Sequioa Park - still just us three and our tree slings. Maybe we should go door- to-door and recruit, or is that too cult-ish?

I do what I can where I live. 10 of us in my troop. And last year we had a mini hang in Big Bear.

And then there is the added cost of having to have both a tent and a hammock system because hammocks are not your go to for desert backpacking. I agree!!! |

I've only seen 1 or 2 hammocks on camping trips. Everyone seems to bring tents. I've been doing overnighters with a few friends off a jungletraining forum, and there's usually just 1 every trip. I've been tarp camping myself, still waiting on my Warbonnet (seems likes forever). Once the WBBB comes in, I'll be doing 80% hammock.
I'm hoping to do a hammocks only trip in two weeks. |

It's true you won't see many hangers here but our numbers are growing. You probably won't see me though. Rarely do I hang at an established campsite.

Built Green
Built Green™ is a non-profit, residential green building program developed by the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties. While contractors in Seattle already build to some of the toughest energy, air quality, stormwater management, and water efficiency standards in the nation, Built Green goes beyond these standards. Built Green promotes best known practices and is responsive to regional environmental issues to give homeowners added value and peace of mind.
The Built Green program uses a checklist with design strategies for architects and actions a builder can take to make a home healthier, more efficient, and easier on the environment. The checklist topics include building to green codes and regulations, site and water considerations, energy efficiency, health and indoor air quality, materials efficiency, and promoting environmentally friendly homeowner operations and maintenance. Points for the checklist items are tallied to designate the level of performance achieved by the home, from one to five stars. The more points attained, the better a home's overall environmental and health performance.
New Construction
The Built Green homebuilder self-certification checklist provides a builder with hundreds of specific actions to increase the environmental performance of a home. Encourage your builder to use Built Green, or if you're a builder, consider using Built Green for its design benefit and market advantage.
The Built Green remodeler self-certification checklist provides a similar function for renovations and additions to existing homes.

Fulton superintendent touts minimal budget cuts for 2012-2013
The Fulton Public Schools Superintendent says there won't be extensive cuts to the district's budget for the 2012-2013 academic year.
By Zahra Rasool
Superintendent Jacque Cowherd says class sizes, transportation plans and current staffing will remain the same as the previous school year. This comes after three years of cuts to the district's budget and an overall two million dollar revenue reduction since 2008. Cowherd says that's due to cuts in state funding.
"50 percent of our revenue comes from the state and we just cannot make up that kind of revenue locally to continue our operations if the state doesn't help fund it," Cowherd said.
Parents are particularly upset with fewer activities and course offerings because of cuts in recent years. Cowherd says the district may ask the community to vote on a tax levy sometime in the future to maintain the quality of education in Fulton

Newcastle, Ontario —
Shocking, disgusting, neither of those terms may adequately describe an anonymous note the mother of a severly autistic child received recently from one of her neighbors. The mother of the 13-year-old special needs child says the author of the note was upset over the boy's "whaling" when he goes outside to play.
The note contains such horrific lines as "Do the right thing and move or euthanize him!" and researchers should "take whatever non retarded body parts he possesses and donate it to science."

One of three tutorials at St. John's, the mathematics tutorial approaches math as a liberal art through reading and discussion as well as through demonstrations and problem solving. The mathematics tutorial consists of the following:
From 12 to 16 students and one faculty member, called a tutor, in conversation around a table.
Three classes per week in each of the four years.
Beginning with Euclid and the elements of geometry in freshman year and progressing all the way through special relativity and non-Euclidean geometry in senior year.
By reading mathematical treatises, demonstrating propositions at the blackboard, and solving mathematical problems. By contemplating and discussing questions that provoke reflective thought and excite both the intellect and the imagination.
To gain familiarity with a discipline that underlies much of the modern world. To think about what it means to come to know something. To understand crucial differences between ancient and modern mathematics.

Should Imran Tahir keep his spot in the Proteas line up?
I guess we will have to wait until the end of the current test match down under in Adelaide to make the final call, as he might have a chance to redeem himself on a ever increasing dry pitch, but so far its not looking good for Immie.
He does not bring the allround cricketing package to the team that you need at this level, so for him to earn his place he has to bowl out of his skin and take wickets galore and keep the batsmen guessing. But that has not happended yet, he has taken a nice wicket here and there, baffelled a few tail enders, but mainly his been a run rate liability giving the momentum the seemrers build up back to the batsmen.
Unfortunately there was no where to hide for him in this test as Kallis and Steyn could not contribute much after both pulled up with stiff hammies on day one yesterday, Kallis wont bowl again in this match too compound things, forcing Immie to bowl more overs than he would have. Warner, Clarke and Hussey did seem too mind this too much, as he basically was their personal bunny all day long. Kleinveld also bowled poorly at times and again had no ball problems, but he will be replaced by Philander or De Lange when they are fit(or fly another seemer from SA before the third test, Parnell/Lopsy/Morris/Viljoen all will do better than the out of shape Rory).
So what about Tahir?
Robbin Peterson is in the sqaud and will add far more value to the team. I am sure he will be more economical than Tahir and take wickets when the picth is cracked up, he is a one day specialst with a decent economy and high strike rate, so why not give him a go? He will be more than handy as a tailend batsmen, plus he is a fantastic fielder with a competitive spirit. He is not all Protea fans favourite son, but he has done enough for the Proteas and Cobras to be picked ahead of Tahir and be given a propper run.
Tahir has too pull a rabit out of a hat in the second Ozzy innings, providing the Proteas get there, to have any chance of keeping his spot,
Beeno, on his performance in the Second Test, He has brought us nothing really and had alot of chances. I would go back to a more conservative Spinner that can bat.
Peterson or Johan Botha.
faf can stay in the side and can provide a leg spinning option. Duminy can come into the squad when he is well in the place of rudolph who also has had enough chances now, and provide some more cover in the spin department.
With a front line spinner like Peterson or Botha.
This will cover all spin issues, and will actually strentghen our batting lineup. Off course this is for the future with JP dumniy healthy again.
For the third test assuming Kallis is out as well I would go:
A Peterson
de Villiers
du Plessis
R Peterson
I would like AB to focus solely on his batting if Kallis is out. We will need him rested and not standing behind the wickets for long hours.
Ek I heard on the radio way to work Smith saying that Philander will be fit and that they were hoping Kallis could play but as a batsment only. Also I am told the WACA is a wicket for pacemen. I also hear that De lange has back problems?
Hence drop Rudolf and Tsolekile from you side? Bowling attack of, Steyn, Morkel, Philander , Klienveldt and Pietersen looks fine to me. AB takes the gloves etc.
Yes but you still have a problem....Who will do the containment? Kallis can't bowl. You need a containing bowler, except if you expect Steyn to play that role but he puts in waaayy to much energy into his deliveries, he'll be exhausted. You need some balance. MacClaren maybe can do it. But I would still like to have a Spinner there even if the pitch doesn't allow it. Any pitch will give a stingy spinner something. Aus are batting way too fast. All pace attack no man not the way to go don't fall for that.
No here is what I posted - Bowling attack of, Steyn, Morkel, Philander , Klienveldt and Pietersen looks fine to me. AB takes the gloves etc. 4 seamers and a spinner - seems to me the best we can do. Then we have Philander and Pietersen strengthening the batting.
Big question is Kallis
Steyn, Morkel, Philander , Klienveldt and Pietersen ---- I posted something Rob houwing wrote, he has a point Replace with following:
Steyn, Morkel, Philander, McClaren and Pieterson ----- A better Batting prospect and Rory really doesn't offer that much more than Ryan on the bowling front.
As i have said I don't even want to consider Kallis for the Perth test. If someone is not 100% fit to play then don't start him, even if it is Jauques Kallis, It will have repercussions on the balance of the squad.

Research Project Description
Chemical Safety for Sustainability
Research Participation Program
Office of Research and Development
National Exposure Research Laboratory
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Research Triangle Park, NC
Project Description:
A postdoctoral research project training opportunity is currently available at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. This training opportunity is with NERL's Human Exposure and Atmospheric Modeling Division (HEASD).
HEASD conducts research focused on building a sound scientific understanding of the processes and factors that impact sources of environmental pollutants, environmental concentrations, and human exposure to help protect human health and the environment. HEASD's core research activities include:
- Development of sampling and analytical methods for measuring environmental concentrations of organic and inorganic pollutants;
- Measurement studies to understand atmospheric processes and human exposures to environmental pollutants;
- Development and application of models to link:
- Sources to atmospheric concentrations;
- Environmental concentrations to human exposures;
- Human exposures to dose; and
- Human exposures and environmental concentrations back to sources.
In this research program, integrated computational modeling approaches are being developed to tackle the challenges of integrating human biomarker data with knowledge of exposure, chemistry, biology, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and epidemiology to inform the linkages among exposure, susceptibility, and human health. This research program will extend the current capability for interpreting human biomarker data and enable discovery of novel biomarkers of exposure and effects.
Chemical safety is a major priority of EPA and its research. Moving toward a safer and more sustainable environment requires producing new and existing chemicals in safer ways. It means having the information and methods needed to make better-informed, more-timely decisions about chemicals.
Chemical Safety for Sustainability research includes computational toxicology, nanotechnology, endocrine disrupting chemicals, human health and pesticides and is focused on three main areas: (1) Provide scientific knowledge, tools and models for integrated evaluation strategies; (2) Improve assessment and inform management for chemical safety; and, (3) Target high priority research needs for immediate and focused attention.
The research participant will be part of an EPA team of investigators who are identifying and characterizing biomarkers of exposure and effect in the exposure-tissue dose-health effect continuum. The goal of this research is to identify sets of biomarkers that provide cost-effective, accurate information about exposure to environmental chemicals and to health effects associated with these exposures. S/he will be involved in the development of computational models linking exposures with target site doses and these doses with perturbations of normal biology leading to adverse health effects.
Research activities may include: 1) acquiring and maintaining comprehensive knowledge of the biomarker literature; 2) developing computational models; 3) participating in meetings of the project team; 4) presenting at professional meetings; and 5) preparing manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
Through this opportunity, the research participant will: learn to apply their creativity and intellect toward solving complex problems and generating ideas for further investigation; further develop their technical skills, analytical capability, and communication skills; and, learn to develop scientific methods that allow for a more intuitive and informative analysis of biomonitoring data in an exposure and/or risk context.
Applicants must have received a doctoral degree in biological sciences, computational biology, computational chemistry or a related discipline within five years of the desired starting date, or completion of all requirements for the degree should be expected prior to the start date. Applicants should have a strong interest in the mechanisms through which exposures to chemicals in the environment perturb normal biological processes and lead to adverse health effects.
The program is open to all qualified individuals without regard to race, sex, religion, color, age, physical or mental disability, national origin, or status as a Vietnam era or disabled veteran. U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status is preferred (but can also hold an appropriate visa status, however, an H1B visa is not appropriate).
The appointment is full time for one year and may be renewed for upon recommendation of EPA and subject to availability of funds. The participant will receive a monthly stipend. Funding may be made available to reimburse a research participant's travel expenses to present the results of his/her research at scientific conferences. No funding will be made available to cover travel costs for pre-appointment visits, relocation costs, tuition and fees, or a participant's health insurance. The participant must show proof of health and medical insurance. The participant does not become an EPA employee.

Uva Next 126 for 6 (Munaweera 36, Peiris 2-24) beat Uthura Rudras 124 for 8 (Gunaratne 30*, Senanayake 3-16) by four wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

Sri Lanka Premier League
Uthura Rudras could not recover from early setbacks and four consecutive maidens at the start of their innings, as Uva Next chased down a mediocre target with four wickets and five balls to spare. Sachithra Senanayake took three wickets for 16 after Jacob Oram and Umar Gul had gagged the top order with the new ball, and though a late surge took the Rudras towards respectability, their total was never likely to be a winning one, even if they did cause a stutter in the chase towards the finish.
The Rudras were effectively derailed inside the first ten minutes of the match, as they batted out four excruciating maidens, during which they lost both openers. Imran Farhat allowed Umar Gul to zip through his defences in the second over, before Brendan Taylor ran himself out in his haste to get himself and the team under way.
Oram extracted considerable movement with his back-of-a-length seamers, but he was by no means as unplayable in his first spell as figures of 3-2-2-0 suggested. Gul was menacing too, as his good length deliveries routinely nipped back towards the stumps. After three consecutive losses, the Rudras batsmen seemed entirely sapped of the courage to defy good bowling. Even the first runs, when they eventually came, were off a dropped chance at slip. Had Thilina Kandamby not attempted to intercept Jehan Mubarak's edge, which was heading straight to first slip, the Rudras could have been 0 for 3 in the fifth over.
The Rudras recovered steadily from the disastrous start, but never threatened a challenging total. Mubarak made a cautious 28 as two more wickets tumbled at the other end, before Chamara Kapugedara added a touch more substance to the total with a 15-ball 20 during the middle overs. The Rudras were in danger of being dismissed for less than 100 when Farveez Maharoof fell in the 18th over to leave his side 92 for 7, but a belligerent 30 from Janaka Gunaratne lifted them beyond 120.
In reply, Dilshan Munaweera set off quickly, blasting six fours and a giant six over midwicket in his 36 and along with Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who made 20, laid the foundation to what should have been a straightforward chase. Uthura, however, fought back. Madhushanka Ekanayake sent down four miserly overs of seam for 13, before Chathura Peiris followed suit, picking up two wickets for 24 from his full quota. Uva Next batted themselves into a crisis, by losing 5 wickets for 33 in the middle overs, but Shoaib Malik eventually guided the chase home alongside Senanayake, who ended the match with a six off the first ball of the last over.

"Dishonored" is a rare treat, a gaming experience that doesn't pull any punches or hold your hand. It's just you, your goal and your creativity. Other games have tried this minimalist approach, but very few have managed to pull it off with the same style and flair. "Dishonored" is a shining example of what open-ended gameplay is supposed to be, from the mission design to the ability to customize your skills to suit your style of play, and rewards players like few games have. "Dishonored" is one of my favorite games of the year.

By News Staff Reporters
MOUNT VERNON — Disaster struck the Knox County Humane Society recently in the form of an airborne upper respiratory infection that affected cats at the cat shelter. Approximately 24 infected cats were later euthanized.
"The Knox County Humane Society had a highly infectious upper respiratory virus that affected all of our cats. This type of virus transmits through the air and, though not impossible to control with one or two cats, with our volume, unfortunately, this was virtually impossible," Humane Society Director Anna Hess told the News on Monday.
"These types of issues happen occasionally where there are many involved. Under the circumstances, after exploring several other options, we felt that we had no choice but to put the cats to sleep. ... I hope the public will understand that euthanizing the cats was not something that any of the board members or staff wished to do. We simply felt that we had no choice."
Dr. Amanda Rogers, veterinarian at Complete Care Animal Hospital on Harcourt Road told the News she was contacted by the humane society on Nov. 23, regarding euthanizing the cats. The process, Rogers said, involves an anesthesia which puts the cats to sleep before an injection of Fatal Plus follows. "It's completely painless and in accordance with the guidelines of the American Veterinary Medical Association," said Rogers.
She recommended that the shelter then be closed for at least a week to rid the shelter of any remaining virus.
"[The virus] will generally run its course, and then most of the cats recover. But the problem is, without [euthanizing], they would have had to close the shelter for a month and would have been unable to do any spay/neuter programs, and adopt anything out/in and just let everything run its course through there," said Rogers. "I think the decision was made that the greater good would be to continue to spay/neuter programs and the low-cost stuff that they do for the public."
Dr. Greg Price of Town and Country Veterinary Clinic said that three deceased cats were brought to him as early as Nov. 13, showing signs of an upper respiratory infection which were then taken to an Ohio Department of Agriculture diagnostic laboratory for testing. Results showed that a Bordetella Bronchiseptica virus was present, although Price was unsure if this was the primary pathogen which was causing the illness.
"They want to adopt out healthy cats, and there was something obviously going through. Whatever the organism is, it appears to be resistant to antibiotics," said Price. "It was more than just a casual approach. It was a pretty structured organized approach to figure out what the organism was and how to treat these animals before the decision was made to depopulate."
Rogers and Price both believe that a few cats may have been adopted out which were carrying the virus. Price believes that cats can survive with the virus, believing that it is not necessarily fatal.
"They (cat shelter) have the responsibility to take in unwanted cats and deal with them, and also to adopt out healthy cats. I think they went above and beyond to try and do it the right way," said Price. "I think they did everything they could in an attempt to get it figured out and to do the right thing and have the courage to make some tough choices. It was a 'no-win' situation. But it was probably the only way to break that cycle."
Carole Rennie Jarvis, humane society board chairperson, said that in mid-November a number of kittens arrived at the shelter with runny noses. They were spayed and neutered and quarantined in the basement when they first arrived.
"We thought it was just the room," she said, "but then the older cats started getting sick. One of our vets recommended cleaning the air ducts and they were full of cat hair. The next step was to have the furnace guy come and he showed us how to clean and replace the filter."
"Unfortunately," she said, "there was a lot of stuff we learned in hindsight. The furnace was circulating the virus through the shelter."
Approximately two dozen cats had to be euthanized because, Jarvis said, "It was cruel to let them suffer." But treatment was very expensive and the shelter budget couldn't support treating that many cats.
"Every one of us took a cat home to take care of them to keep them from getting sick. We disassembled all of the cages and disinfected them and we've spaced them farther apart."
She added, "It was a very painful process. It was making a small mistake that magnified and we're going to be smarter and if anyone can learn from us then we want them to know. We love the cats and we're very emotional about it."
The shelter is able to take new cats again, and part of the learning process resulted in a new intake procedure. Now incoming cats will be treated with a nasal vaccine that is a preventative for the virus.
In 2011, approximately 680 cats were adopted from the shelter.
News staff reporters Chuck Martin, Alan Reed and Rhonda Bletner contributed to this story.

Posted almost 6 years ago Lots of questions I have about entering the accelerated BSN program this June. It is an intensive 15 month program and I am wondering if some of you who have been there, done that, have any great recommendations on needed items. For example, is a laptop really necessary? PDA? Dansko shoes even - I just would love to hear about those things maybe I wouldn't think of that were incredibly helpful for you during your school experience. Thanks. |

Comments about American Audio VLP-600 Power Amplifier:
Compact size. Sound is very clear. Ease of connection hook ups.
The amp is exactly what we needed for our monitor speakers. We also have a VLP-1500 to drive our vocal speakers and instruments. Both are quite good.
Comments about American Audio VLP-600 Power Amplifier:
I am sold on American Audio amps. I have had several including the VLP 600 and 1500. I love the dual fans they come with and even much more higher priced amps don't come that way. I get most of my outdoor gigs in the summer and even in partial sun and shade my VLP 600 amp never overheated. They are relaible and economy priced a great combination. I like then better than Carvin amps which I have also used.
Comments about American Audio VLP-600 Power Amplifier:
I own it ! The amp is O.K. no quality problems yet. I've had it for five months. This is a very noisy amp.... twin fans are really loud ! It would seem that they could use a fan of less noise.
Comments about American Audio VLP-600 Power Amplifier:
i have had this amp for apprx a year now it provides amazing clean steady power and i have never had a problem with it. Highly reccomended.
Comments about American Audio VLP-600 Power Amplifier:
This was the first "professional" stereo power amplifier that I bought for my live sound setups. I originally used a NADY XA series amplifier but had to send it back because it blew an internal fuse as soon as I plugged it in. I bought this amp because it was low in price and I needed something to power my KUSTOM KSE215H pair of speakers that I had. I love using this amplifier because I can use it to power my 10" subs, my dual 15" mains, my 10" monitors, or my 12" 2-ways. I am a young sound engineer and professional disk jockey, and I believe in this line of amplifiers. I recently bought the VLP-1500 for more power for bigger events and parties. I love using the VLP series more than using any other amplifier out there. These are also great because my studio has many devices that are power hungry and these amps do not pull too many amperes. Thank you American Audio for such great quality and prices!

Select a datex
Take a day trip from Cairns or Port Douglas to cruise the Daintree River and explore the Cape Tribulation rainforest. You'll have free time at Cape Tribulation to take a guided walk, drive the 4WD-only Bloomfield Track and go for a swim in the Coral Sea.
Your naturalist guide will take you north along the scenic route to Mossman, where lush farmland contrasts with coastal scenery as you approach the majestic Daintree River. After a break for morning tea it's all aboard for an informative river cruise. Relax and enjoy the Daintree's splendor as you learn about estuarine crocodiles and mangrove forests, and enjoy nature at its best.
After your cruise you'll ascend the Alexandra Range and pause for panoramic views of the tropical rainforest merging with the Coral Sea. While your lunchtime barbecue with homemade salads and Australian wine is being prepared, you can take the opportunity to swim in a tranquil freshwater stream. You'll spot fish and turtles in the creek, butterflies and exotic birds in the trees, and perhaps see goannas on the forest floor ' all at your luncheon site.
After lunch there is no set timetable or schedule, so throw away your watch and enjoy elevated walks through Cape Tribulation with your experienced guide, with ample time for questions and photographs. Travel along the 4WD-only Bloomfield Track and swim in the Coral Sea at Cape Tribulation (seasonal), where "the Rainforest meets the Reef".
On your return journey there will be a short afternoon refreshment stop where you can pat a kangaroo, have a beer or sip a cup of local tea, feeling fully refreshed from your "Rainforest Experience" at Cape Trib.

Posts: 13858 "The two assumptions in competition are like islands in a sea of
chaos, as different as life and death, matter and the void. One
cannot learn which is correct by pure logic; the answer will
eventually be reached through an accumulation of objective
evidence. Moral reasoning, I believe, is at every level
intrinsically consilient with -- compatible with, intertwined with
-- the natural sciences. (I use a form of the word "consilience"
-- literally a "jumping together" of knowledge as a result of the
linking of facts and fact-based theory across disciplines to
create a common groundwork of explanation -- because its
rarity has preserved its precision.) "
Tutorial Answer 8
(b) is correct because, by Whewell's definition, consilience refers to the gathering of
different forms of evidence (observation or experiment, from two or more separate
fields) that all converge, or can be grouped under, a single explanatory model. (a) is
not correct because it is too vague to say anything specific about consilience. (c) is
not untrue per se, but it does not distinguish consilience from many other forms of
reasoning such as deduction. And of course (d) cannot be correct if one or more of
the other answers is not correct.

That's because it's undergone ablaut (or umlaut {or something}) and was salience.

Mountainside Fitness
As a 23-year-old junior, Tom Hatten didn't spend his evenings at the raucous parties or ice-cream socials associated with college life. Instead, he'd spend the waning hours of his evenings waiting by the dryer for the last batch of towels before collapsing into bed. In the morning, he would lug them to Mountainside Fitness, the gym he opened as a student that he has thrown all his energy into maintaining ever since.
Today, the humble 4,800-square-foot space has bloomed into nine gyms that average a sweeping 41,000 square feet. Tom's vision of creating a friendly neighborhood gym that greets each guest with a warm towel underscores every decision he makes for the different locations, from the colorful kid-care spaces to the entertaining group fitness classes. Personal trainers plan regimens tailored to each client, helping them lose weight, build muscle, or target the muscles that will help build a better golf game. Clients can create their own routines with the help of cardio and weight machines, or explore the different amenities at each location, such as saunas, rock-climbing walls, and indoor basketball courts.

President Obama's Blueprint For Slashing Deficit
By NPR Staff
On Monday, the president released a plan on how to pay for his $447 billion jobs bill and reduce the nation's deficit. The plan aims to slash $3 trillion from the debt over the next decade, which involves Medicare and Social Security cuts and tax increases for the wealthy. Host Michel Martin speaks with NPR's Senior Washington Editor Ron Elving about the plan.

While my fourth child is a late walker, both my pediatrician and I are not concerned. He cruises everywhere, but doesn't feel the urge to walk. My neighbors, however, are constantly making me feel like there is something wrong with him. They always ask why he isn't walking. How do you deal with nosy neighbors and others' opinions about your children?
You've done just the right thing by getting your child evaluated by his doctor. I would be brief, straight to the point, and limit your emotional involvement in your response. So a simple, "I appreciate your concern, we are working with his doctor about that very issue, I'll let you know if I have questions though." or something like that. Just a straight: "thank you but not thank you".
Let us know how things are going.
Take care,
It drives me crazy when people feel compelled to comment on issues like yours. I just tend to say something along the lines of, "He's doing just great - thanks for asking". Usually if you say it with a clipped tone and change the subject right away, people tend to get the hint that this is a topic to stay away from. If they don't get the hint after that, you may need to just tell them outright that it's under control and you don't really need to discuss it with them.
People can be so annoying! I have to bite my lip in similar situations because it always seems like the neighbors don't make the comments out of concern for your child, but to dig dirt on your kids for the neighborhood coffee klatch!
without knowing how old your child is, its hard to say if they are being nosy or if they are genuinely concerned i guess.
I understand very well though - my son is 2 1/2 and he doesnt really talk all that well. He does not say sentences and i have known 2 year olds that can hold conversations. I can't tell you how many people ask me if i have had him evaluated for Autism...but there in lies the cavet.
I had no idea that not talking was a sign of autism and it made me get online and do some research and talk to my doctor and also talk to a friend whos son has been dignosed with a mild form of autism.....
So, while your neighbor may be nosy - take it with a grain of salt and concern - you never know when a persons concern or noseyness might actually provide you with some information or get your own wheels turning.
And if they keep putting their nose into it - just say "thank you for your concern, I have already involved my doctor and our child is developing in a normal fashion".....
You're right Nezwukla, sometimes other people can aim light on something that may be wrong with your child. Sometimes we are too close to them to really see the 'early warning signs'. Now he is 2 and running all over the place, so we are thankful! How is your little boy doing?

Studies show if you drink tea regularly, you may reduce your risk of Alzheimer's and diabetes, plus have healthier teeth and gums and stronger bones. How? Tea is rich in a class of antioxidants called flavonoids. "True teas," such as black, green, oolong and white teas, come from the leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. What many of us call herbal teas, such as chamomile and rooibos, are actually tisanes or infusions. The differences in true teas result from how the tea plant's leaves are processed: black teas are oxidized (exposed to oxygen) a few hours before rolling and drying, deepening their color, while white teas and green teas are simply steamed, rolled and dried. Think of oolongs as hybrids; their leaves are partially oxidized before drying.
Green tea has a vegetal, mildly grassy flavor, with a slightly astringent mouthfeel. Oversteeped brews can be bitter. Chinese types include Dragonwell, prized for its trace of chestnut flavors, and Jasmine (fragrant with added jasmine flowers). Try Japan's smooth Sencha or toasty Genmaicha, blended with toasted rice grains.
Where it's from: China, Japan, Sri Lanka.
Health benefits: Drinking green tea is associated with lower rates of colon and pancreatic cancers and reduced risk of Alzheimer's.
Water temp/steeping time: Steaming water for 2-3 minutes.
