Abstract: Mastitis in two herds managed as a comparison between organic and conventional dairy farming systems was monitored for 8 years utilising regular bacterial culture of milk samples, individual and bulk somatic cell counts, and observation by farm staff. The aim of the project was to develop strategies for the control of mastitis in organic cows without the use of antibiotics. The most important isolates in pure cultures were coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis and the common contaminant Bacillus spp. Positive cultures were generally not associated with subclinical mastitis. Within a set of key control measures, two management strategies were trialled, one of which reduced the prevalence of subclinical mastitis to very low levels. 2013-12-31T13:30:00Z Emu oil and its effect on 5-fluorouracil-induced mucositis http://hdl.handle.net/2440/87424 Title: Emu oil and its effect on 5-fluorouracil-induced mucositis Author: Lindsay, R.J.; Geier, M.S.; Yazbeck, R.; Lymn, K.A.; Butler, R.N.; Howarth, G.S. 2007-12-31T13:30:00Z Incorporation of a stand-alone elective course in animal law within animal and veterinary science curricula http://hdl.handle.net/2440/87384 Title: Incorporation of a stand-alone elective course in animal law within animal and veterinary science curricula Author: Whittaker, A.L. Abstract: Animal law is a burgeoning area of interest within the legal profession, but to date it seems to have received little attention as a discrete discipline area for animal and veterinary scientists. Given the increased focus on animal welfare both within curricula and among the public, it would be remiss of educators not to consider this allied subject, especially since it provides those tools necessary for implementing welfare standards and reducing cruelty. Recommended subject matter, teaching modality, and methods of assessment have been outlined in this article. Such a course should take a multidisciplinary approach and highlight contentious areas of animal law and trends within the wider societal framework of human–animal interactions. From a pedagogical standpoint, a variety of teaching methods and assessment techniques should be included. A problem-based learning approach to encourage the assimilation of facts and promote higher-order learning is favored. The purpose of this article is to provide some guidance on the structure of such a course based on the author's experience in teaching animal law to veterinary and animal science undergraduates in Australia. 2013-12-31T13:30:00Z Antimicrobial resistance in, and from dairy cows with mastitis http://hdl.handle.net/2440/87362 Title: Antimicrobial resistance in, and from dairy cows with mastitis Author: McDougall, S.; Hussein, H.; Petrovski, K. Abstract: AIMS: To determine the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of antimicrobials for common mastitis pathogens from dairy cows in New Zealand; and to assess the effect of source of the isolates, i.e. commercial veterinary laboratories or collected as part of research studies; the clinical status of the cow, i.e. subclinical or clinical mastitis; cow age and herd on the distribution of the MIC. METHODS: Minimal inhibitory concentrations for Staphylococcus aureus (n=364), Streptococcus dysgalactiae (n=65) and Streptococcus uberis (n=102) isolated from milk samples from dairy cows were determined for a variety of antimicrobials using broth microdilution. Isolates of S. aureus were sourced from research studies from both subclinically (n=161) and clinically (n=104) affected cows, as well as from commercial veterinary laboratories (n=101); while all the streptococcal isolates were from commercial laboratories. Resistance was defined using the cut-points provided by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). RESULTS: The distribution of MIC varied among the bacterial species for every antimicrobial tested (p<0.001). Of the S. aureus isolates, 28, 2 and 0.5% were resistant to penicillin, ampicillin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, respectively. For S. dysgalactiae and S. uberis isolates, 17 and 13% were resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, respectively. One isolate (1%) of S. uberis was resistant to penicillin. The distribution of MIC of S. aureus varied with clinical status, between herds, and with age of cow (p<0.05). The distribution of MIC for S. aureus for penicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cloxacillin and ampicillin were lower from clinical than subclinical cases, and those for amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and oxytetracycline from isolates from veterinary laboratories were lower than for those from research studies. CONCLUSIONS: Resistance to some beta-lactam antimicrobials and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole were found in isolates from cases of bovine mastitis. The distribution of MIC for isolates of S. aureus varied with clinical status of the cow, the age of the cow, the herd and with the source of isolate. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Resistance to penicillin was found in a quarter of S. aureus isolates, but in virtually no Streptococcus isolates; therefore microbial identification and sensitivity testing would be beneficial when assessing treatment options. The source of the isolates affected the estimated MIC, suggesting that selection of isolates for monitoring of resistance requires care and that use of routine submissions to commercial laboratories to assess antimicrobial resistance patterns may result in biased estimates of prevalence of resistance. 2013-12-31T13:30:00Z

Parent Feedback
"I think your team at ABC are fantastic. I especially love how welcoming everyone is, and it makes me happy that each of the staff genuinely seem happy to see my child arrive in the mornings. It is a real relief as a parent to know my child is being left at a daycare where the staff care and take time to focus on each individual child."
"ABC Ascot has done wonders for both of our children's social, communication and learning skills. We feel very confident and reassured that our children are in the best of hands and with staff that truly care for them and their well-being. The staff nurture all the children as if they were their own. Both of our children love attending the centre and are very happy. Happy children make happy parents! We highly recommend ABC Ascot!"
"As a family new to the area, we have been very impressed and really happy by the care, love and education from ABC Ascot. We want to give all of you a big thank you. The fact that you have low ratio between teaching staff and children makes the whole environment quite relaxing for my son. It also means that he could get a good level of individual attention, where he might not get in some larger early education centres."

A Day In The Country:A Night Lady Antebellum Won't Forget
It's hard enough for some stars to come up with an acceptance speech. Lady Antebellum had to give four of them a year ago tonight!
It's hard enough for some stars to come up with an acceptance speech. Lady Antebellum had to give four of them a year ago tonight!
Carrie Underwood had some box office success this weekend, her new movie Soul Surfer at number four at the box office. Anna Sophia Robb stars in the movie, along with Dennis Quaid, Kevin Sorbo and Helen Hunt. The movie is the true story of Bethany Hamilton, the teenage surfer who had the courage to get back in the water after she lost her arm to a shark attack.
Over the years there have been a number of country stars who have dabbled in acting on the big and small screens. Here is a look at the stars and their second career.
Carrie Underwood Carrie Underwood stopped by the 'Ellen' show recently and talked about her husband Mike Fisher and his clutter. Apparently when Mike moved in to Carrie's home in Nashville after being traded to the 'Predators' hockey team, he brought a lot of stuff with him.
I watched the Little Fockers last night. Not a bad flick. However, not as funny as I thought it would be.In the movie the Little Fockers (Greg and Pam's kids) are a set of twins.One boy and one girl.Just like the Colin Raye song from the 1990's.
Almost everyone I talk to says the same thing: Carrie Underwood and Steven Tyler had the best performance of the evening last night at the ACM's.
Any idea what the top song in country was in 1977?
Carrie Underwood admitted that she was extremely nervous about her role in the new movie 'Soul Surfer' Her big screen debut takes place next Friday April 8th as the movie hits theaters. Carrie credits her co-stars and the films crew for helping her feel more comfortable on the set.
Here are some video's from the five women nominated for Top Female Vocalist this Sunday night on the ACM's.
We will start off by saying Happy Birthday! to two country music stars......Reba McEntire turns 56 today (Sorry Reba, I didn't want to say the number, but the prep service had it written there)....and...Rodney Atkins
March 24 –We're 9 months away from Christmas Eve! I think that because we got a second winter, we should get a second Christmas too. Kenny Chesney's buddy and Colts' quarterback Peyton Manning turns 35 today. Warner Brothers' character Sylvester The Cat turns 66 today too. He never did get that Tweety Bird. Now on with the country music history…
Here's a quick look at what's going on around the country music world. In a recent interview, Carrie Underwood revealed her secret nickname for her former tour opener Billy Currington. Carrie calls him

It's so easy to bake! I just loved it. I have made it couple of times and am nostalgic about it. A good gift to give it to teachers.
I made this to bring to a party last weekend, and they were a HIT! I used instant coffee granules instead of the expresso powder,which I was unable to find. I was able to find the chocolate coffee beans at Starbucks. Everyone wanted the recipe!The only drawback was that it didn't make enough - I might double it next time.

Special correspondent
KOZHIKODE: A palliative care programme to provide free health care to terminally-ill patients afflicted with cancer, AIDS and other painful diseases is being initiated by Corporation of Kozhikode.
The project is being implemented in association with the Pain and Palliative Care functioning from the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital. The clinic has already emerged as a model for such health care in Third World countries.
The Corporation's project will begin with a training programme for volunteers on January 15 which is observed as Palliative Care Day the world over.
Mayor M. Bhaskaran has appealed to service-minded members of the community to enrol as volunteers in the project. Volunteers can be from any strata of society. But the volunteer should be able to spare at least two hours a week or one day a month for attending to the patients without remuneration. Besides providing basic medical assistance, they would also be called upon to do counselling for both to the patients and members of the patient's family.
Those willing to serve as volunteers should report at the office of the chairman of the Corporation standing committee for health before January 12. Other NGOs would also be allowed to participate in this programme.
"Community participation holds the key to the success of palliative care programmes," Suresh Kumar, consultant at Pain and Palliative Care Clinic, remarked.
The Pain and Palliative Care Clinic in Kozhikode has been giving palliative care free of cost to patients for nearly a decade.
It has also established satellite centres in a number of other districts, winning worldwide acclaim for its palliative care management strategy. Malappuram district has also emerged as a shining example in this endeavour. Speaking to The Hindu, P.T. Rajan, chairman of the Corporation's standing committee for health, said the project would be launched on April 1 after training programmes for volunteers were completed.

Construction reports suspended due to government shutdown
The monthly construction reports you normally see on Aggregates Manager — like construction spending, construction employment, freight shipments and housing starts — are likely suspended due to the federal government shutdown that began early Tuesday morning.
The shutdown, which has furloughed 18,481 employees in the U.S. Department of Transportation alone, has resulted in the suspension of most federal government operations that are not considered safety-related or necessary.
Reuters reported Tuesday that the construction spending report for this month has been cancelled.
A Commerce Department spokeswoman told Reuters on Monday that the report would not be released if the government shut down.

KathyAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Top of the List for Christian GrowthJune 27, 2014KathyAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I read this book 30 years ago when a new Christian and the principles and scriptures have literally transformed my life. Tim LaHaye helps the reader to really understand himself from a Biblical perspective, and that is the crux of learning how to walk in the Spirit and be controlled by the Holy Spirit. I also read his book, How to Study the Bible For Yourself and the scripture memory is transforming as well. My husband is reading this book now (finally) and it is helping him greatly. And CBD has the best price and the best service!

It helped me understand myself and other people so much better. It has even made me become a better manager, sister and overall learned to deal with myself and with other people.
This book also helped me learn my strengths - these I am now capitalising on and my weaknesses- which I am now working to strengthen. It has also helped me know which people I can work with most easily and most effeciently and which type of people I can assign to certain tasks.

The Obama administration is pushing agencies to think small when making small purchases—small business, that is.
According to analysis of federal data, agencies are not awarding many of their purchases of $25,000 or less to small companies. Those small firms aren't getting the orders even where there are enough of them to compete, two top procurement officials wrote in a memo June 6.
"This suggests that opportunities for small businesses are being lost," Small Business Administration Administrator Karen Mills and Office of Federal Procurement Policy Administrator Joe Jordan wrote in their joint memo.
Agencies are required to automatically set aside work for small businesses that is below the $150,000 Simplified Acquisition Threshold unless the contracting officer cannot find two capable small companies.
Mills and Jordan are requiring agencies report to the Office of Management and Budget on their internal controls related to small business awards for orders below the threshold. They also want to know how they have worked to send more of these types of orders to small companies, and, if they've done nothing, why not.
They provided a draft memo for agencies to send to their acquisition offices. They memo tells officials to automatically set aside work under the threshold for small businesses, but if there are none available, explain why in the contract file.
SBA officials will have analysis for agencies of their contracts falling under the threshold that have not been awarded to small businesses.
The small business memo is the first action on the part of Jordan in his new role as OFPP administrator. He was confirmed by the Senate May 24. As the former associate administrator for government contracting and business development at SBA, Jordan said small businesses will get his attention.
"One of my priorities as the newly confirmed OFPP administrator is to continue these 'win-wins' for our taxpayers and small businesses," he wrote June 7 on the OMBlog.
The memo from Mills and Jordan emphasizes small business set-asides for the small-dollar purchases, as well as awards under multiple award contracts.

Gospel Reflections Mathew 16:13-19
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by on Feb 21, 2013
This Friday's Gospel reading we have the classic reading of the Church around Cephas, Peter, and the rock upon which Christ built His Church. We also, though, find the readings for the week bringing us full circle in our Lenten journey. On Sunday we found Christ calling to right order, to an Acknowledgement of God as first in our lives. Later in the week we had Christ giving us the tale of the Ninevites and calling us on to Repentance. Then we had Christ following His chastisement instructing us to Seek the Lord in prayer. To seek mercy and grace. Today we see in the readings how God reveals Himself to those who Acknowledge, Repent, and Seek. Today, Christ comes to those who surrender themselves to His Sacred Heart.

Be Proactive in Building Valuable Customer Loyalty
Each time a contact center interacts with a customer, the primary goal (of course) is to answer the customer's question or resolve a problem. While this should be goal number one, there is another, more subtle goal: build customer loyalty and ensure that individual keeps coming back. While some companies are competent at the first task, the second goal is much more challenging. "Keeping customers happy" doesn't have a simple recipe or checklist to follow.

Call Center Headsets: Even IVR Calls Sometimes Go 'Live'
The best headset is the one that lets call center reps answer calls. But there's more that goes into the right choice of a call center rep's headgear.
Are you Utilizing Your IVR to the Fullest?
It's not uncommon for a company to employ IVR technology to streamline common interactions or to launch a survey. If a consumer can easily answer a few questions before they end a call, you may be more likely to capture the actual voice.
Opinion: Engaged Employees are Better Workers

Namco Post Worldwide Shipments For Recent Naruto, Sword Art Online GamesBy Ishaan . November 12, 2014 . 4:02pm
Bandai Namco have posted worldwide shipments for a number of their recent releases.
Bandai Namco have posted worldwide shipments for a number of their recent releases.
Bandai Namco was smart to pick up the license for Sword Art Online, an anime series that shares some themes in common with their own .hack series. Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment made its PlayStation Vita debut on April 24 in Japan.
Hollow Fragment really tries to emulate what it would feel like to be in a virtual world. For a licensed game, it does quite a bit right, but is ultimately ruined by its terrible localization.
Koei Tecmo released Hyrule Warriors in Japan, and the game sold 69,090 copies in its first week.
Bandai Namco will release a DLC pack for Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment that will remain free from launch until November 18th.
Bandai Namco have shared a large batch of screenshots of Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment.
Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment producer Yosuke Futami talks to Siliconera about creating Strea and Philia, two original characters made for the video games plus explains how the team designed a pseudo-MMORPG battle system.
Producer Yosuke Futami comments on a sequel to Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment.
"The update won't be built into the Western release of Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment," producer Yosuke Futami said in an interview with Siliconera. "We're currently considering to bring the large scale update from Japan over."
Tales of Hearts R will be released in North America on November 11th, Bandai Namco announced this morning.
New screenshots in English are available as well.
Man At Arms is back with another real life replica of an anime weapon.
Bandai Namco recently revealed a look at their latest trailer in English for the upcoming game Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment.
The top-20 software sales chart saw the return of a couple of games that we haven't seen in a while, including Attack on Titan.
Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment will be available in Europe and Australia this July, Bandai Namco have announced.

Hancock County is getting put back together that way, piece by piece. The economy is the steering wheel that will guide this storm-torn county off the assembly line on to new roads, new directions. The local stakeholders - business and property owners - have served as designers and drivers of their hurricane recovery.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers opened their first full-squad, mandatory minicamp Friday to kick off the 2009 season.
Here are some notes and observations:
"We will not fine Larry," Tomlin said. "He and I agreed mutually that it was best for all parties involved for him not to be here this weekend."
"I got to make the best decision, and I think the best decision is to be around the team and help the best way as possible," Parker said.
"We desire to create competition," Tomlin said. "The only way that we're going to be a really good football team is if we have really good competition and guys competing."

New York City Marathon: Sunday November 2, 2014 - Impact on Lincoln SquareOctober 29, 2014
We have been notified by the City of New York, the New York Road Runners (NYRR) and the producers of the New York City Marathon that this year's marathon, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 2, will once again have a major impact on Lincoln Square.
Just like last year, the marathon will have increased security measures and other restrictions (street closures and no parking) in place in the days leading up to the event. Many streets, mostly east of Broadway and Columbus Avenue between 59th & 85th Streets will be closed to vehicular traffic. There will be no parking on Central Park West and many other streets, and limited public access as the Family Reunion Area will be located on Central Park West between West 60th and West 66th Streets.
It is our understanding that pedestrian access to residential buildings and commercial establishments on the restricted blocks will be granted by the NYPD with proof of residence by driver's license.
There is one major addition to this year's marathon that will clearly impact our businesses and residents: Broadway will be completely closed to traffic, in both directions, from Columbus Circle to West 65th Street on Sunday, November 2 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The Value of a Purpose Statement
Lots of time is spent on mission, vision and value statements. Too little time is spent on a statement of purpose.
Writing in Harvard Business Review, Australian management consultant Graham Kenny says mission, vision and value statements have merit in influencing how an "organization should view and conduct itself." The purpose statement is outward-focused and offers the reason why consumers or clients should care.
He gives three examples of effective purpose statements:

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal appeals court says Oscar's Grant father can sue the Northern California transit officer who shot and killed his son on a train platform.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday rejected former officer Johannes Mehserle's claim that he was acting in his official capacity when he killed the younger Grant during a 2009 New Year's Day melee captured on video by several bystanders.
Violent demonstrations ensued after the videos showing the white officer shooting the unarmed black man were viewed by millions online.
The appeals court said it's up to a jury to determine whether Mehserle was justified in shooting Grant in the back as he lay face down on the train platform.
Mehserle served 11 months in prison after he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
The appeals court's decision affirmed a lower court ruling.

We Are More Than Happy To Help Bryan Fischer Get His Message Out
Frequently, when we grab a clip of some Religious Right figure saying something outrageous that ends of generating some unwanted attention, the person featured in the clip responds by alleging that we took their remarks "out of context" and misrepresented their views (of course, they never actually explain how we supposedly misrepresented their views or what exactly the context was in which they said it that would make it not seem totally crazy.)
So it is always nice when Bryan Fischer sticks up for us by acknowledging that the clips we post feature him saying things exactly as he would present them himself. And he did it again today while appearing on David Pakman's radio program when Pakman asked Fischer right at the beginning if he, like Gordon Klingenschmitt, objected to the manner in which we feature clips from his show on this blog.
Though he accused us of "cyberstalking" him, he also said that our clips are "exactly the same one that I would have picked if it had been up to me" and are helping him get his message out:
When I look at the clips that RightWingWatch has chosen to use from my program, I'll go there, I'll view the clips, I'll see what they have picked to post and in every case so far, they have picked a clip that would be exactly the same one that I would have picked if it had been up to me. So RightWingWatch is simply helping me to get my message out ... I know that RightWingWatch is cyberstalking me, but from my vantage point, there actually helping me get my message out and frequently what I will do, David, is I will send a tweet out to the link of RightWingWatch's coverage of my program because I like the clip that they picked and I will thank them, give them credit, for helping me get my message out.
