It's time to start paying attention to the oeuvre of German director Uwe Boll. At this rate, he'll become the Ed Wood of this new movie century. In his favor, he seems to be working with an intensity of output unmatched by just about anyone except Woody Allen, with another epic due by year's end. But first: Hot off last year's Alone in the Dark, which cast Tara Reid as an archaeologist, Boll's already back with another turkey, BloodRayne, which sluggishly trails a half-human, half-vampire named Rayne (T3's Kristanna Loken) through 1700s Transylvania on a quest to stab her evil vampire father, Kagan, with her deadly sword-crutch thingies. Somehow Boll got Ben Kingsley to play Kagan (free trip to Romania?), but, judging from Kagan's preposterously cheat-edited climactic duel with Rayne, he unfortunately wasn't quite convincing enough to get Sir Ben to show up for sword training.
As you might expect from any movie that begins with the promise of a ''special appearance by Billy Zane'' and features Meat Loaf Aday decked out in a Spinal Tap wig and writhing around with naked women, BloodRayne is ghastly-bad. But not ghastly-bad enough. Like all of Boll's films, it's based on a videogame, but would that the movie showed half the pulse of some blippy Xbox brain waster. Instead, Boll's aesthetic harkens back to lousy '80s sword-and-sorcery epics, minus most of the laughs. If Dr. Boll as he's referred to in the end credits really is to take the title as a mad scientist of awful cinema, he has to make these movies much worse if they're going to get any better.

University of Notre Dame Files Lawsuit Over Obamacare Mandate
Alumni received this email:
May 21, 2012
A Message from Father John Jenkins, C.S.C., President, University of Notre Dame
Today the University of Notre Dame filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana regarding a recent mandate from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). That mandate requires Notre Dame and similar religious organizations to provide in their insurance plans abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives and sterilization procedures, which are contrary to Catholic teaching. The decision to file this lawsuit came after much deliberation, discussion and efforts to find a solution acceptable to the various parties.
Let me say very clearly what this lawsuit is not about: it is not about preventing women from having access to contraception, nor even about preventing the Government from providing such services. Many of our faculty, staff and students—both Catholic and non-Catholic—have made conscientious decisions to use contraceptives. As we assert the right to follow our conscience, we respect their right to follow theirs. And we believe that, if the Government wishes to provide such services, means are available that do not compel religious organizations to serve as its agents. We do not seek to impose our religious beliefs on others; we simply ask that the Government not impose its values on the University when those values conflict with our religious teachings. We have engaged in conversations to find a resolution that respects the consciences of all and we will continue to do so.
This filing is about the freedom of a religious organization to live its mission, and its significance goes well beyond any debate about contraceptives. For if we concede that the Government can decide which religious organizations are sufficiently religious to be awarded the freedom to follow the principles that define their mission, then we have begun to walk down a path that ultimately leads to the undermining of those institutions. For if one Presidential Administration can override our religious purpose and use religious organizations to advance policies that undercut our values, then surely another Administration will do the same for another very different set of policies, each time invoking some concept of popular will or the public good, with the result these religious organizations become mere tools for the exercise of government power, morally subservient to the state, and not free from its infringements. If that happens, it will be the end of genuinely religious organizations in all but name.
The details of the process that led to the mandate are publicly known. In an Interim Final Ruling issued August 3, 2011, the federal government required employers to provide the objectionable services. A narrow exemption was given to religious institutions that serve and employ primarily members of their own faith, but, departing from a long tradition in federal law, organizations like Notre Dame—schools, universities, hospitals and charitable organizations that serve and employ people of all faiths and none—were granted no exemption, but instead were made subject to the law to the same extent as any secular organization. On September 28, I submitted a formal comment encouraging the Administration to follow precedent and adopt a broader exemption.
Despite some positive indications, the Administration announced on January 20, 2012, that its interim rule would be adopted as final without change. After an outcry from across the political spectrum, President Obama announced on February 10 that his Administration would attempt to accommodate the concerns of religious organizations. We were encouraged by this announcement and have engaged in conversations with Administration officials to find an acceptable resolution. Although I do not question the good intentions and sincerity of all involved in these discussions, progress has not been encouraging and an announcement seeking comments on how to structure any accommodation (HHS Advanced Notification of Proposed Rule Making on preventative services policy, March 16, 2012) provides little in the way of a specific, substantive proposal or a definite timeline for resolution. Moreover, the process laid out in this announcement will last months, making it impossible for us to plan for and implement any changes to our health plans by the government-mandated deadlines. We will continue in earnest our discussions with Administration officials in an effort to find a resolution, but, after much deliberation, we have concluded that we have no option but to appeal to the courts regarding the fundamental issue of religious freedom.
It is for these reasons that we have filed this lawsuit neither lightly nor gladly, but with sober determination.
The lawsuit is available online at http://opac.nd.edu/public-information/hhs-complaint

Thanks be to God! I have a very personal reason to feel grateful that Notre Dame has filed this lawsuit. My son is an alumnus, and those who have attended Notre Dame, as well as their parents, have alwaysd been told by the university that we are part of the "Notre Dame family" - a family which has unfortunately become more and more disfunctional in recent years. We have been really distressed that the school which used to be a bastion of the Catholic faith was straying so far from its origins. This is a step in the right direction for the university. I hope many more institutions will also sue.
With any luck, every American religious denomination with 68 million members and a virtually bottomless well of funds to sue Leviathan will be able to exercise a small degree of religious conscience.
The rest of us God-botherers will have to click our heels and salute.
While I'm glad that Notre Dame is taking this step, I was disappointed at Fr. Jenkins' statement that "Many of our faculty, staff and students—both Catholic and non-Catholic—have made conscientious decisions to use contraceptives. As we assert the right to follow our conscience, we respect their right to follow theirs." Fr. Jenkins is correct that people have the right to follow their conscience. (CCC 1782 - "Man has the right to act in conscience and in freedom so as personally to make moral decisions. He must not be forced to act contrary to his conscience. Nor must he be prevented from acting according to his conscience, especially in religious matters." However, a person's conscience must be an informed one. Without an informed conscience, people are susceptible to making wrong judgements about their actions. (CCC 1783 "Conscience must be informed and moral judgment enlightened… The education of conscience is indispensable for human beings who are subjected to negative influences and tempted by sin to prefer their own judgment and to reject authoritative teachings.") For Catholics, this includes the authoritative teachings of the Catholic Church (CCC 1792 "Ignorance of Christ and his Gospel… assertion of a mistaken notion of autonomy of conscience, rejection of the Church's authority and her teaching…: these can be at the source of errors of judgment in moral conduct.") Ignorance is not a defense. (CCC 1791 "This ignorance can often be imputed to personal responsibility. This is the case when a man "takes little trouble to find out what is true and good, or when conscience is by degrees almost blinded through the habit of committing sin." In such cases, the person is culpable for the evil he commits.") Since the Catholic Church clearly teaches that the use of contraception is "intrinsically evil" (CCC 2270) Notre Dame faculty, staff and students who are Catholic are clearly in danger of being culpable for evil actions if they chose to use contraception, even if they believe that doing so is part of their right to follow their conscience.
I think perhaps Jenkins got a rude awakening when the Obama he honored last year turned around and bit him.
[3]Jeffersonian, many other denominations have expressed solidarity with the Catholic Church on the HHS mandate issue. And if the RC's succeed in their lawsuit, everyone will benefit; if the court rules in favor of conscience protection, that won't benefit only RC's.
[4]Already Gone, I think Fr. Jenkins is making the point that individuals have have a right to follow their conscience; he isn't commenting on the rightness or wrongness of contraception. He's making the point that:
Jeffersonian, many other denominations have expressed solidarity with the Catholic Church on the HHS mandate issue. And if the RC's succeed in their lawsuit, everyone will benefit; if the court rules in favor of conscience protection, that won't benefit only RC's.
Sure, on contraception and abortafacients. And the rest?
The Constitution, as originally intended, was a vast sea of rights with small islands of government power conferred. Today, it's a vast sea of State power with small (and dwindling) islands of rights.
We're on defense, and defense doesn't win games.
The lawsuit isn't about contraception and abortifacients and sterilization. It's about freedom of religion, about the First Amendment - and that applies to all religions. That's the mistake Santorum made in his campaign; he let reporters turn this into a contraception issue, when it's not that at all. It's much broader.
I agree with you about the dwindling islands of rights, and I agree we're on defense; but sometimes, as football fans know, defense does win the game.
Seems the good Bishop of Peoria, Illinois - Daniel Jenky - was right after all.
Protestants have also filled lawsuits.
IMO, the government choose contraception (including abortion-inducing drugs) because it's pretty much a Catholic issue. The next step would be tax-payer funded abortion, then pretty much anything the government wants.

The 1960 Plymouth XNR will cross the block next month at the RM Auction in Monterey, Calif.
The one-of-a-kind sports car was penned by Chrysler design guru Virgil Exner, who always hoped Chrysler would include a roadster in its lineup. The XNR featured a powerful six-cylinder engine that pumped out 250 horses and gave the XNR a top of speed of 150 mph.
Ultimately, the project never got the green light, and the XNR was shipped back to Carrozzeria Ghia in Italy, where it was built.
From there, the car's story gets more interesting. A series of owners bought it in the '60s, and it wound up in the Shah of Iran's garage. It was sold again before it disappeared. In the early 1980s, car collector Karim Edde discovered the XNR in Beirut, Lebanon, hidden away in an underground garage. He bought the car and shuffled it around safe houses as the civil war erupted around him.
Twenty years later, Edde had the XNR fully restored. Since it's a concept, there were no spare parts and whatever could not be repaired was fabricated. RM Auctions has not suggested a price the XNR will go for, but we hope its next owner continues the car's legacy.
You can watch Chrysler engineers test the XNR at the company's proving grounds in the video below.

Executive Desks
Whoever coined the phrase "stuck behind a desk" didn't order an executive U-shaped desk from Countryside.
Sturdy and stunning, our solid wood desks take the bold leap of mixing business with pleasure. Task specific storage like file drawers in single and double pedestal desks, ample storage in home office desks with hutches, and pigeon holes in traditional roll-top desks deliver organization that's functional and fabulous. Tech specific features like computer and keyboard pull-out shelves, electronic docking stations and roll-top computer desks bring out the computer geek in all of us with a savvy richness that only Amish craftsmen can deliver.
Whoever coined the phrase "stuck behind a desk" didn't order an executive U-shaped desk from Countryside.
Roll Top desks for the 21st century handcrafted with 19th century values.
From small youth desks to large executive desks, these single and double pedestal desks only promise one thing - an open work space, and they deliver.
Today's home offices need task specific desks. Fortunately, we've already checked "modernizing traditional computer desks" off our to-do list.
Convenience trumps convention. Since computers and desks are no longer tied to the home office, kitchen Hutch Top Desks are the latest Wi-Fi hot spot.
Educating the masses one youth desk at a time, our student desks are also great for small home offices.
Card catalogs and the Dewey Decimal System are almost obsolete, but these lovey Library Tables are as relevant as ever.
Sometimes P&L means profit and loss. Sometimes it means pizza and lunch, but in the Countryside, it always means premium and long-lasting.

Happy Holidays, 2014!
Yes, indeedy: it's that time again. Believe it or not, another year has passed, and Booknook.biz is getting ready to take their annual holiday. We've been slaving our buns off, to get books ready for all of you publishing on Amazon, NookPress aka PubIt, iBooks, KoboBooks, Print, and a thousand other places. We'll be officially CLOSED from midnight on 12/24/14, reopening on January 5th. During that time, books that are already in production will continue production, and will be sent to the clients that are in the queue, but we shan't be answering emails nor the phone. Thank you for your consideration during this much-needed annual break. (Image licensed for use from iStockphoto, 2014).
YES, we are still accepting books, InDesign Files, PDF's, etc, for intake and production, and will be in the offices through 12/24. Please CONTACT US if you need help, or want a quote.
For those of you who just cannot live without our annual Holiday poem, our dogged bit of doggerel still appears....
T'was the Night Before Christmas...
...and all through the shop,
all we minions were working,
until ready to drop.
The ebooks were flying,
the covers were spare,
The edits were crazy,
with "one more thing I must share!"
We waited for Santa,
'Cuz we love old Saint Nick,
But Hitch made us work,
Waving round an old stick!
So slave we all did,
And made all your books,
So that Hitch would say now,
that we're off the hook.
Come today we're off,
to rest up our fingers,
Our hats we will doff,
No books they do linger.
But we'll all be back,
Don't give it a thought,
for like all wage slaves,
we're easily bought.
We'll be back on the fifth,
all eager and fresh,
All ready for Word,
after well-deserved rest.
So Hitch wants to say,
very strongly and loud,
you're the best type of crowd.
Indy and Ned and Hitch and the gang,
will be back on the 6th,
to do books with a BANG!
In the meantime don't worry,
if you're in a hurry,
'cuz some poor guy got stuck
sitting here like a duck.
Your emails we'll receive,
so no need to grieve.
We'll be a bit slow,
but we're raring to go.
Your books will be worked on,
your edits still made,
we're just resting a bit,
before we all fade.
So please excuse the delays;
It won't be for days;
we'll jump on your queries,
for your wondrous new series.
We waited for Santa,
'Cuz we love old St. Nick,
And sure 'nuff he came,
It wasn't a trick.
And as he rode off,
into the night,
I could swear I heard Hitch yell,
"That Edit's Not Right!"

Direct Marketing Association, The v. Huber
Filing 20
Unopposed MOTION for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply as to 14 MOTION to Dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint , and for enlargement of page limitation for opposition by Plaintiff Direct Marketing Association, The. (Attachments: # 1 Proposed Order (PDF Only) for unopposed motion)(Schaefer, Matthew)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 10-CV-01546-REB-CBS The Direct Marketing Association, Plaintiff, v. Roxy Huber, in her capacity as Executive Director, Colorado Department of Revenue, Defendant. PLAINTIFF'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME AND FOR LEAVE TO EXCEED PAGE LIMITATION IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS PLAINTIFF'S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT [DOC.14] ______________________________________________________________________ The Plaintiff, the Direct Marketing Association ("the DMA"), moves, without objection from the Defendant, for a one week extension of time (to August 27, 2010), and for leave to exceed the Court's page limitation for motions set forth in REB Civ. Practice Standard V.B.1., in connection with the DMA's opposition to the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint [Doc. 14] ("Motion to Dismiss"). As grounds for this motion, the DMA states as follows: 1. This action concerns the constitutionality of the provisions of a new Colorado statute, House Bill 10-1193, "An Act Concerning The Collection Of Sales And Use Taxes On Sales Made By Out-Of-State Retailers, And Making An Appropriation Therefor" ("the Act"), and the regulations adopted by the Colorado Department of Revenue ("Department") to implement the Act, which impose notice and reporting requirements solely on out-of-state retailers who do not collect Colorado sales tax. The DMA's eight-count complaint raises a number of complex constitutional issues, some of which are matters of first impression, concerning the DMA's contentions that the Act and regulations: (a) impose discriminatory treatment on out-of-state retailers lacking any physical presence in the state; (b) trample the right to privacy of Colorado residents, as well as certain non-residents; (c) chill the exercise of free speech by certain purchasers and vendors of products that have expressive content; (d) expose confidential information regarding consumers and their purchases to the risk of data security breaches; and (e) deprive retailers, without due process or fair compensation, of both the value of their proprietary customer lists and the substantial investment made to protect such lists from disclosure. 2. The Defendant on July 30, 2010, filed a 36-page Motion to Dismiss the DMA's complaint on multiple grounds, asserting that: the DMA lacks standing to bring the suit; the Court otherwise lacks subject matter jurisdiction over certain claims; and the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted with respect to several of the counts. The DMA's opposition is currently due on August 20, 2010. 3. The opportunity for the DMA to respond fully to each of the Defendant's arguments in support of her Motion to Dismiss is vital to the DMA's ability to pursue and protect the constitutional rights of its members affected by the new law and of their Colorado customers whose personal purchasing history information must be disclosed 2 to the Department under the Act and regulations. The outcome of the motion to dismiss will determine whether the DMA's suit goes forward and on what counts, and thus will directly impact the Court's administration of this action. 4. Prior to the filing of the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, and in light of the complexity of the action, the DMA assented to the Defendant's request for a one-week extension of the time to file her Motion to Dismiss and for an enlargement of this Court's page limitation for motions to forty (40) pages. 5. The Court granted the Defendant's motion for extension of time and an enlargement of the page limit by order dated July 21, 2010. 6. The DMA seeks relief which precisely parallels the extension of time and enlargement of the page limit previously granted to the Defendant. Counsel for the DMA has conferred with counsel for the Defendant in accordance with D.C.COLO.LCivR. 7.1A, and the Defendant has no objection to the DMA's motion. Thus, the Defendant will not be prejudiced if the Court grant's the DMA such relief. 7. The DMA is cognizant of this Court's admonition in REB Civ. Practice Standard II.G.1 regarding motions for extension of time. The DMA respectfully submits that granting the DMA's motion will have no adverse impact on case management. No scheduling order has yet been entered in the case. (The Scheduling Conference is set for September 23, 2010). Permitting the DMA an extension of time and enlargement of the page limit that parallels whose granted the Defendant will, moreover, promote the Court's evaluation of the merits of the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, so that further proceedings in the case may be determined accordingly. 3 8. The DMA has not previously requested or been allowed any extensions of time. With regard to the enlargement of the page limit, counsel for the DMA will make every attempt to ensure that the DMA's motion is concise and helpful to the Court's evaluation on the motion to dismiss. 9. In these circumstances, and given the complexity of the issues presented in this case and the significance of the Defendant's motion to further proceedings, the DMA respectfully submits that good cause exists for the allowance of its motion in accordance with the standards of REB Civ. Practice Standard II.G.1. 10. This motion is timely filed under REB Civ. Practice Standard II.G.2. 11. Pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR. 7.1F. and REB Civ. Practice Standard V.D.1., the DMA submits with this motion a proposed form of order regarding this unopposed motion. WHEREFORE, the DMA requests this Court enter an Order granting it an extension of time through August 27, 2010, and leave to file an opposition to the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss not to exceed forty (40) pages in length. Dated: August 13, 2010 /s/ Matthew P. Schaefer George S. Isaacson Matthew P. Schaefer BRANN & ISAACSON 184 Main Street, P. O.

Some canon lawyers say due process limited for accused priests
By Agostino Bono
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- As U.S. dioceses prepare to evaluate the cases of clerics accused of sex abuse of minors, several canon lawyers defending accused priests have complained that the procedures limit due process for their clients.
"Under church law you are innocent until proven guilty," said Oblate Father Frank Morrisey, a canon lawyer who is defending several U.S. priests.
Yet, once a cleric has been accused, he is suspended from public ministry before being able to mount a defense, he said.
Critics say that this amounts to punishment without a proof of guilt.
Father Morrisey said that the accused has to wait months for the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which has overall authority in sex abuse cases, to review the diocese's preliminary investigation and tell the diocese how to proceed in the case.
Another canon lawyer, Father Nicholas Rachford, said this delay puts accused priests in a state of "suspended animation."
Father Morrisey said to expect a six- to eight-month delay after a bishop sends the case to the doctrinal congregation.
Father Morrisey was a teacher at one of the 2003 seminars sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to train canon lawyers in the special norms adopted by the U.S. bishops in 2002 to deal with the sex abuse scandal. He is a canon law professor at St. Paul University in Ottawa.
Father Rachford said that the suspension from ministry before proof of guilt boils down to the loss of reputation of the accused.
"He is removed from ministry. He is removed from the rectory," said Father Rachford, tribunal judge for the Byzantine Eparchy of Parma, Ohio. "This is a loss of reputation as soon as he leaves the rectory."
An eparchy is the Eastern-rite equivalent of a diocese. Father Rachford is defending a Latin-rite priest.
The norms say that steps should be taken "to protect the reputation of the accused" during the preliminary investigation.
The special rules are known as the "Essential Norms" and they provide the legal framework for the U.S. bishops' policies outlined in the "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People." The norms cover priests and deacons.
Father Rachford said there seems to be a presumption of guilt with the presentation of the accusation, even before the preliminary investigation has been conducted.
Many priests are being suspended from public ministry right after the accusation although the norms say that suspension is to be imposed after the sending of the preliminary investigation to the doctrinal congregation, said Father Rachford, who attended one of the training seminars.
Father Ronny Jenkins, special consultant to the USCCB on the special norms, said that the suspension is applied "to protect the public just in case. It is not an indication of guilt."
An accused priest during the preliminary investigation does not have the formal due process that he would at a trial, but he retains basic rights, such as the right to his good name, said Father Jenkins.
"He can't be forced to admit to a crime, for instance," he added.
Church officials are also required to provide a church lawyer to an accused who is unable to provide for one, said Father Jenkins.
Regarding how fast the doctrinal congregation is getting back to dioceses, the time varies.
The Detroit Archdiocese got answers on two major cases "in a couple of months," said Detroit Auxiliary Bishop Walter A. Hurley, who handles sex abuse issues for the archdiocese. "It was not an unreasonable amount of time."
In one decision, the doctrinal congregation supported the action of Detroit Cardinal Adam J. Maida to laicize a priest. In the other case, it ordered a trial for a priest.
The Chicago Archdiocese waited about six months before it was informed to hold a trial for one priest, said Father Patrick Lagges, archdiocesan judicial vicar.
He said the archdiocese has 13 other cases still pending. About 10 were sent over at the end of July and the rest at the end of September, said Father Lagges.
Father Rachford said that he could not discuss specifics of the case he is defending. He said that it was sent "recently" to the Vatican and he expects that the decision will be to hold a trial.
"There seems to be evidence that child abuse took place, so counterevidence needs to come forward which would best be done at a trial," he said.
Father Morrisey said that another problem in presenting a defense is that many cases happened decades ago.
Evidence and witnesses are hard to find and many cases could end up being decided on the word of the accuser versus that of the accused, he said.

5 year old Siberian Husky available for adoption to the right home. She came to us as a rescue with a severe UTI. She is now all better, and ready for her new home.
She is 5 years old, and petite. A whopping 35 lbs to be exact. She has a very sweet & loving personality. Loves attention from people! Should NOT go to a home with FEMALE dogs.. She seems to be ok with males, but no guarantees.
Is kennel trained, and house trained. Does well in our fenced in yard.
Is due for shots, and NOT spayed. A spay contract will need to be signed, as she is not breeding quality. Will refund $50 upon proof of spay.

1. Panama City Beach, Florida
It's hard to turn down a balmy Florida beach trip in March. Look forward to 70-degree weather and lots of chipper coeds on a Panama City Beach Spring Break vacation. Why not split the cost of a Panama City Beach condo with fellow revelers? (Read more about Panama City Beach Spring Break 2010.)

[Edit] After posting this I realized I was having a case of "Old Timer's Disease." A quick Google search revealed that I can buy an external power adapter that would do the job for $12-$50 depending on the wattage needs of the computer.
I would have deleted this post, but that doesn't seem to be an option I have.
Sorry for wasting your time.
I've been offered a desktop computer that would be a huge upgrade from my laptop, for free.
The problem is that the computer was purchased and used in Australia, where they run 240v instead of the 120v we run here in the US.
I have no idea what it would take to make it able to run on our power here. But am guessing it would need either a new power supply installed or some kind of an adapter/converter that I would plug the computer into and then plug the adapter/converter into the wall.
Anybody ever dealt with something like this? Or have a good idea of what I should try? And any cost guesses would be great too.
Thank you.

Researchers Working To Stem Water-Borne Parasites
Especially in the summer, people (and pets) literally cannot live without water. We drink it, bathe in it, cook with it, and use it to cool off on hot afternoons. Water is such a major part of our daily lives that the thought of a water-borne parasite is enough to make anyone worry. These tiny organisms have found ways to invade us that are at least as varied as the ways we use water. However, researchers at Texas A&M University are working to understand parasite infection and discover possible preventions and treatments.
Dr. Karen Snowden, a professor in the Department of Veterinary Pathobiology (VTPB) at the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, and her graduate student, Dr. Jessica Rodriguez, are studying Heterobilharzia americana, a waterborne flatworm trematode parasite, commonly thought to affect wildlife, that can also infect both dogs and horses. Reported cases of canine infection are on the rise, but whether this is due to increasing incidence or just increasing diagnosis, researchers are unsure.
"We examined medical records from 238 dogs diagnosed with Heterobilharzia americana in Texas over the past 22 years," Rodriguez said. "Dogs can show nonspecific symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and decreased appetite. In many cases, dogs were diagnosed only after undergoing surgery and biopsy. We hope to increase veterinarians' awareness of this parasite so that more dogs are diagnosed with non-invasive tests and before they become very ill."
The eggs of this parasite hatch when they come into contact with fresh water and quickly penetrate a specific type of aquatic snail, where they then multiply before leaving to search for a warm-blooded host. The larvae, as they are called at this point, stay in the water until an appropriate host comes along, at which point they latch onto that animal and burrow through the skin, infecting the body systemically as they travel to the lungs, the liver (where they mature), and eventually the veins of the abdominal organs. There, the male and female flatworms mate and produce eggs. Most eggs are carried to the intestinal wall, where they erode their way into the intestines to be passed in the feces and begin the cycle again. Some eggs are carried to the liver where they cause inflammation and disease in dogs.
Although this particular parasite is not considered a human pathogen, it is closely related to several other parasites that do affect humans. In an innovative, One Health approach, Rodriguez is using what is known about treatment of the human disease to suggest a better diagnostic test, and potentially, a treatment for dogs with the similar parasite. Any treatments or preventions found work well for dogs, moreover, could then go the other direction and be applied to human medicine.
"We can easily apply a One Health concept spanning human and veterinary medicine while studying the parasite, H. americana," Snowden said. "We are proving that a test designed to detect the closely related human parasite, Schistosoma, will also diagnose this local animal parasite. In turn, the Heterobilharzia parasite can be developed as a animal model to study the globally important human Schistosoma parasite, testing new drugs and understanding disease processes with less human risk in a research setting."
Another example of this diversity of parasites is Cryptosporidium, a type of protozoan that can cause gastrointestinal problems, such as severe watery diarrhea, in humans and other vertebrate animals. Crypto, as the parasite is often called, is spread in the fecal-oral fashion, most commonly through drinking contaminated water.
Humans often become infected when they accidently swallow a little bit of contaminated water as they are swimming. As crypto is resistant to many powerful disinfectants, including chlorine, even treated swimming pools and water parks can be dangerous. Furthermore, when crypto gets into the sources drinking water sources (such as rivers, lakes, or wells), it can be difficult to destroy all of the parasites. The biggest officially recorded crypto outbreak was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1993 when it infected 403,000 people after one of the city's two water purification plants was contaminated, probably with runoff from cattle pastures.
Cryptosporidiosis, the disease caused by this parasite, is found worldwide and is one of the top four diarrheal pathogens in infants and toddlers in developing countries. It can be a life-threatening condition for immune compromised individuals, and there is no approved treatment for them, and crypto is thought to have killed about 100,000 people in 2010. However, Dr. Guan Zhu, another professor in VTPB, studies parasite metabolism in order to find possible drug targets. He and his team recently discovered a treatment that reduced the parasite load by up to 90%, offering hope that a drug might soon be developed to treat human and animal cases.
"Cryptosporidium is a classic example of One Health pathogen as it infects both humans and animals and affects environments by contaminating drinking and recreational waters," Zhu said. "Our research focuses on understanding what happens inside this tiny parasite at molecular and biochemical levels. Our ultimate goal is to develop effective therapeutics by targeting the essential molecules in the parasite."

The Edmonton Rush (12-0) continued their historic start with a 15-11 road win over the Rochester Knighthawks (9-4) in front of 8,632 at the Blue Cross Arena on Saturday night. The Rush, who handed Rochester their first home loss of the season after winning their first five at the BCA, tied the league's single-season record 12-straight wins set by the '07 Knighthawks.
The game started off well for Rochester, with forward Cory Vitarelli striking first less than three minutes in with an assist from Craig Point. However, the rest of the first belonged to the undefeated Rush. Edmonton went on a four goal run, keyed by a power play goal while Knighthawk defender Mac Allen was off for holding, and one of Edmonton forward Mark Matthews' 2 goals and one of his 4 assists on the night on his way to capturing the first star of the game.
"It's definitely tough against Rochester," Matthews said. "They're a little bit bigger than we are on offense. They pressure a little bit and they're just big guys that are tough to move."
The Knighthawks went on a run of their own to start the second quarter, scoring three times in the first three minutes to tie the game at 4. Cody Jamieson contributed one of his two goals and one of his three assists during the run, while Vitarelli picked up his second goal. Dan Dawson also notched his first of five assists on the night, a total which led to his second star selection.
However, that run came to a halt due to an issue that plagued the Knighthawks all night long. While Vitarelli was off serving a too many men on the floor penalty, the Rush connected again on the power play to retake the lead, 5-4. Penalties were one of the major keys to this game. The Rush went 3-for-5 on the power play, but they also scored when there were coincidental penalties as well.
"Power play's been getting better the last three, four games," Edmonton Rush general manager and head coach Derek Keenan said. "We've been pretty good in our execution... We took advantage of some things we saw in them, against their man down and the guys executed really well and finished our shots too."
"We were able to get a lot of power plays," Matthews said. "And capitalize a lot on power plays which deflates a team."
"They're a good team," Vitarelli said. "Any time you give them chances, they're going to make you pay for it. Tonight, I don't think we were the most disciplined at times, but that's the game of lacrosse and it's how you react to it. Unfortunately, they made us pay on the chances we gave them."
The other reason that penalties were a major story was that this game set this season's single game record for penalty minutes. That feat was accomplished in the first half, in part because of three distinct fights and associated penalties with that. Two players, Edmonton's John Lintz and Rochester's Joe Walters, were ejected from the game. Two ten minute misconduct penalties were assessed as well.
That power-play goal by Robert Church to take the lead 5-4 led to another run for the Rush, five goals in all. Mark Matthews contributed another goal and an assist during that run.
Craig Point scored one of his two goals as the first half wound down to bring the Knighthawks back within four, 9-5. Any hope of that goal providing some momentum for Rochester was crushed in the third quarter along with the Knighthawks' chances of winning.
Edmonton opened the scoring just over two minutes into the third period which was the first of three goals scored on consecutive possessions. Stephen Keogh, who has been a big part of the Knighthawk offense of late, scored his lone goal of the game to bring the deficit back down to four, 10-6, before the Rush came right back down the floor to extend the lead to five. That goal started a three goal run for Edmonton that saw Matthews notch another assist and third star of the game, goalie Aaron Bold, add his second assist of the night.
Jamieson did halt the run on the power play to cut the lead to 13-7. However, Matthews tallied his last assist of the night on a John LaFontaine goal to reclaim Edmonton's seven goal lead, 14-7.
The Knighthawks fought back with a four goal run, but in the end, it was simply too little, too late. When Jarrett Davis notched his second goal of the game with under three minutes to play, the Knighthawks' rally fell short. Rochester did not come away impressed with the late flurry however.
"You don't take too much from it," Jamieson said. "We expect more out of ourselves. We don't expect to just do that in the last five, ten minutes. We expect that all game long... We've got to play like we did in the last ten minutes for the whole sixty minutes. That's what it's going to take to beat that team- a whole sixty minutes. They're in first place in the whole league for a reason."
"We have a lot of pride," Knighthawks transition player Brad Self said. "We don't want to get blown out. That being said, we've got to show up a lot earlier than we do and we can't depend on coming back late in the game. We've got to make sure we're ready from go."

We provide western horseback riding lessons for all beginners. Riders will ride in an outdoor arena until such time the rider has complete control of their horse. When the rider has successfully passed an obstacle course we will venture out and do some trail riding on our property. Please understand this is a long term goal for most riders.
The students will learn how to groom a horse, vocabulary of the horse, tack vocabulary, safety, ground manners, patience and riding. These skills will be taught through hands on, instructional, games, by the horses themselves and the challenges of following directions. Practice helps.
We meet the rider where they are comfortable and grow together from there. Mount up and let's take this journey together one ride at a time.
All lessons are 90 minutes. This includes grooming, arena time and un-tacking time.
I may need parents to volunteer spotting when there are multiple children with special needs. To be determined before lesson time.
Please provide shoes with a smooth bottom and heel, a helmet, (We do have helmets you may use) weather appropriate clothing, sunscreen protection and a water bottle. We have an available biffie.

748: Worst-Case Scenario
[edit] Explanation
This comic is a reference to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that happened in the Gulf of Mexico. Top kill is a reference to a procedure used as a means of regaining control over an oil well that is experiencing an uncontrolled eruption of crude oil. Michael Bay is an American film director known for his over the top special effects and plots.
This comic is a commentary on the state of broadcast journalism and how they are always looking for speculation and voyeurism rather than facts. That they ask if Mr. Bay's proposed firestorm will have any effect on the then-upcoming congressional elections just serves to underline how little the journalists actually care about the damage that has actually been caused.
The title text has a reference to Jeff Masters, who is director of meteorology at Weather Underground and Bruce Schneier, who is a world-renowned security expert and has a blog and several books. Vitamin D is a vitamin that the human body can synthesize with the aid of direct sunlight; the joke, "go play outside", is Randall accusing us of all being shut-ins.
[edit] Transcript
- [Two reporters, Cueball and Ponytail, point microphones toward a scientist, Megan.]
- Ponytail: Dr. Scientist! The "Top Kill" has failed! What's the worse-case scenario for the gulf?
- Megan: The worst-case scenario is what's happening now.
- Ponytail, out of frame: Yes, but is there any way it could get worse?
- Megan: Sure, but there are real disasters happening now, and you're substituting speculation and voyeurism for the investigative journalism we—
- Ponytail: Screw this! Let's ask Michael Bay.
- [The reporters, now joined by a camerawoman, approach Michael Bay with their microphones.]
- Michael Bay: The worst case? A hurricane tracks into the gulf, whipping the surface of the spill into a frothy mix of oil and air.
- [An alligator-filled conflagration atop a massive ocean wave approaches land.]
- Michael Bay, narrating: As the storm surges through the bayous, sparking power lines ignite the fuel air mixture into a roiling, alligator-filled wall of flame.
- [A map of the gulf coast of Louisiana and southwest Mississippi is depicted with the current routes of the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers highlighted. An arrow indicating a new primary flow of the Mississippi's waters into the Atchafalaya points toward southern Louisiana.]
- Michael Bay, narrating: Plowing northward, the fire hurricane destroys the Old River Control Structure in Concordia, rerouting the Mississippi westward and sweeping Morgan City and the heart of cajun country out to sea.
- Michael Bay: James Carville emerges from the conflagration riding a burning alligator...
- Ponytail, out of frame: Will this affect the midterm elections?
- Michael Bay: Massively.
"frothy mix" is a reference to Rick Santorum. 188.8.131.52 03:17, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- The comic was published on June 2, 2010. I strongly doubt it was a reference to Santorum. 184.108.40.206 17:36, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

ship in ecological studies of suicide, the further understanding of the association between firearms and suicide will be particularly dependent on the availability of direct information about gun ownership. Potentially valuable state-level information could be made available through the regular inclusion of gun ownership questions in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and a better understanding of the possible linkage between household gun ownership and adolescent risk-taking might come from the regular inclusion of household gun ownership questions, in addition to the existing adolescent gun use questions, in the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System.
At the moment, the U.S. vital statistics system is the only source of nationally representative information about lethal self-injuries. This system sets important limitations on present knowledge. The proposed National Violent Death Reporting System, now being piloted in six states with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, could provide more information about demographic background, intent, circumstances, precipitants, method of injury, and source of the firearm (in the case of gun suicides) than is presently available. In this regard, it may be a much more significant improvement for the study of suicide than for the study of homicide, for which similar national data systems are already available.
But there are potential problems that should be considered in the planning of such a system, which might affect the overall usefulness of the final result (see Chapter 2 for further details). Data systems that collect information about a series of cases (such as the recording of injuries or deaths) cannot be used without an appropriate comparison group to make valid inferences about the association between exposures and outcomes. Will the data be collected in a way that would permit such comparisons? This might be accomplished by using the injury surveillance system in the way that cancer registries are now used, as a source of cases for case-control or record-linkage studies of the risk factors for the designated outcome. Will the data system collect sufficiently complete and reliable information about relevant exposures? It would be helpful to develop the NVDRS system with several specific research questions in mind, to ensure that the system will actually be usable, and will actually be used.
The committee recommends further individual-level studies of the link between firearms and both lethal and nonlethal suicidal behavior. It would be useful to have an ongoing, longitudinal study that determines both predictors of gun ownership and other known risk factors for suicidal thoughts, nonlethal suicidal behaviors, and completed suicide. Added detail about method choice and correlates of gun ownership would help to clarify

My distributor jumped but did not brake any parts of the distributor. The only thing I could see bad on the dist. was the gear had a lot of wear. I had thought the timing chain had jumped but this was not the case but I did install a new timing set, cover and new aftermarket distributor.
