30 July 2013 When Did We Stop Howling? Posted by: Courtney Sexton | 2 comments | Share: Courtney Sexton, Communications Associate When I went to visit my parents a few weeks ago, one of the first things my mother said was, "Bob, show her how Hannah howls." My father grabbed the smallest of our family's pack, the cocker spaniel dancing at our feet, and held her in his arms while she licked his face, tail stub wagging uncontrollably. I waited. My father tilted his head back, made an "O" with his lips and began to vocalize a series of long, high howls. Within seconds, Hannah – torn by having to stop licking his face – tilted her own head back to mirror my father's and, muzzle to the sky howled with all her little might. They continued like this in unison until, amazed and crying from laughing, we made them stop. Of course, part of our amazement at Hannah's impassioned cry was that it was so unexpected. It is rare these days to come across a dog (especially a cocker spaniel) – let alone a human – that remembers how to howl. While the instinct may remain, it has been subverted, hidden deep in the recesses of the gene pool by decades of domesticity. If you listen hard enough, though, this howl can still be heard in special places around our country – thanks to a fervent campaign to save wolves (now being threatened by the Fish and Wildlife Service's premature delisting proposal) the calls of the modern dog's wild relatives, gray wolves, echo through the Northwest forests, in the crags of the Rockies, along the shores of the Great Lakes and in the canyons of the great American West. It is here, however, in this last landscape, where the lonesome cries of the few remaining Mexican gray wolves, one of the most endangered animals in the world, is barely being heard over the howls of protest and mis-information by the anti-wolf crowd. Last month, FWS released a final proposal to delist gray wolves throughout almost all of the country. While the Mexican gray wolf subspecies would remain protected, the Service released a related proposal that would severely hamper real chances for their recovery – especially when needless killings like the one we recently learned of continue. The Service is proposing a series of changes to the rules that govern the Mexican wolf recovery program, but most of these changes seem to have been written in a vacuum – they ignore and in some cases contradict the best available science – even that of the Service's own Mexican wolf recovery team (which hasn't met since 2011). A significant obstacle that the wolves must overcome to recover is their limited genetic diversity. To overcome this obstacle, published scientific studies and the work of the present and previous recovery teams indicate that new core populations, created by the release of more captive wolves into the wild, are essential. At least three distinct populations, established in different areas of suitable habitat with dispersal allowed between them, are necessary. A Mexican gray wolf is released from captivity. (Photo courtesy of the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team.) Instead of arranging for the vital immediate releases, FWS is wasting critical time rewriting rules that do not further recovery, and in truth, stall it. If action is not taken, this proposal may destroy the chances that the few remaining wild Mexican gray wolves have for long-term survival. What the lobos need, and need NOW, is the following: A comprehensive recovery plan… Mexican gray wolves haven't had an up-to-date recovery plan in 31 years (1982). The current recovery team has done extensive, rigorous work to determine what needs to be done to save the Mexican gray wolf. A new plan, based on this best science, must be completed and implemented. Release of new breeding pairs into the wild… Numbers are important, but new genes are crucial. In order to overcome the challenges of a severely limited genetic heritage, many more of the wolves currently in the captive breeding program need to be released into the wild. New core populations… Wolves are currently barred from a significant amount of suitable habitat (the FWS proposal makes it harder for the wolves to disperse into suitable habitat in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah – if any are found outside of the arbitrary lines on a map they will be immediately trapped and moved back within the set boundaries). The wolves need help getting to the suitable habitat areas in order to establish the new populations that are key to their recovery. Best science tells the FWS all of these things and yet still our government is stalling on its commitment to Mexican gray wolves – when did it, when did we stop howling with them? Let's start again; the Mexican gray wolf, one of the rarest animals in the world, desperately needs us to.

Scopes Monkey Trial Lesson Plan: Social & Political Impact Debate
In this lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 9-12, students use BrainPOP resources to understand the debate between the viewpoints of traditionalists and modernists in the 1920s. Students will debate the teaching of evolution vs. intelligent design in schools, and understand the social and political impact of the Scopes Monkey Trial on the United States.
Students will:
- Understand the debate between traditionalism and modernism viewpoints
- Debate the teaching of evolution vs. Intelligent Design in schools
- Understand the social and political impact of the Scopes Monkey Trial on the United States
- Class set of the Activity with the Graphic Organizer photocopied on the back
- Projector and computer with internet access
- Electronic copy of the 1st amendment (freedom of religion)
evolution, traditionalism, fundamentalist, intelligent design, creationism
Make a class set of the Activity with the Graphic Organizer photocopied on the back. Build students' background knowledge on the social changes of the 1920s. Students should also have some understanding of the changes in both rural and urban areas over time.Lesson Procedure:
- For the first 5 minutes of class, have students write to the prompt: What role should religious ideas have in the classroom? Explain. Have students share after the 5 minutes are up.
- Project an electronic copy of the 1st amendment for the class to see.
- Have students pair up and interpret the 1st amendment. What do they think the founders meant when they wrote the establishment and free exercise clause? Discuss as a whole group.
- Introduce the Scopes Trial which took place in Dayton, TN, in the 1920s. It was known as the trial of the century, pitting religion vs.science.
- Pass out the activity page.
- Have students watch the BrainPOP video The Scopes Monkey Trial. Using the graphic organizer side of the paper, have students take notes while watching the video.
- When the video is over, discuss as a class the opposing viewpoints of traditionalism and modernity. Have students continue to take notes during the discussion. Fill in any holes in information. Answer questions.
- Have students fill out the back of the handout (the activity page with the order of events and matching.)
- Discuss with students the outcome of the trial: teaching evolution in TN was illegal for 40 years after this decision. Discuss the current education climate in schools.
- EXIT SLIP: 1. On a scale from 1-10 how well did you understand todays lesson? 2. Why did you choose that number? 3. List three new pieces of information you learned today. 4. What questions do you have about the Scopes Trial?

Funeral for Mesa officer to be held Friday
MESA, Ariz. -- Funeral services for Mesa policeman Brandon Mendoza are being held Friday.
The service will start at 10 a.m. at All Saints Catholic Church at Recker and McLellan roads followed by burial at nearby Queen of Heaven Cemetery.
"I didn't get to know him as well as I'd hoped I would have ... I always assumed there would be more time," Police Chief Frank Milstead said.
Mendoza died early Monday morning in a crash with a wrong-way driver at an interchange at U.S. 60 and Interstate 10. The 13-year veteran of the force had been driving home from a shift.
He was posthumously promoted to sergeant Thursday.
Road closures will be in place to westbound traffic on Baseline Road between Stapley and Gilbert roads from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

The Robot and the Bluebird by David Lucas

Alfred the Great: a diagnosis
Craig, G.
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Volume 84, May (1991)
King Alfred, 'England's Darling' (849 – 900) suffered from a painful illness for much of his life, the nature of which has been the source of some speculation among Anglo-Saxonists. We are fortunate to have a contemporary record of the king's symptoms as recorded by Asser, King Alfred's Welsh bishop and admirer. The study of Asser's work, 'The Life of King Alfred', has fuelled many
guesses as to the nature of the sovereign's illness. The suggestions that have been made cover a wide range of ailments: neuritis, epilepsy, a sexually transmitted disease associated with homosexuality, some sort of psychosomatic illness and so on. A rather coloured picture of an over sensitive youth morbidly preoccupied with his health emerges from these speculations, which are normally accompanied by the familiar disclaimer: "The truth will never be known". I do not think such pessimism is warranted.

Accessories and Documentation
Inside of the main packaging, lying on the bottom of the box, you will locate the setup guide and important information shipped with the keyboard.
At the top is shows what all the keys are for, and in the middle is shows how to connect the keyboard and that you need to go on site to find the software.
At the bottom it shows how to make use of the G-keys and M-keys. It also gives you a step by step for recording a Macro which you can set to the G-key pressed in the series of commands, on the fly.
You also get a plastic, textured, palm rest to add to the front edge of the keyboard if you wish to use it. I do find it helps when you use the keyboard on a desktop, but I do most of my typing on my lap.
There are two clips just like the one in this image. They have tabs on the outside of both legs on each clip to allow the palm rest to clip into the front of the keyboard.
There are also three rubber feet like this one across the underside of the palm rest. While most of the pressure is placed on the rest when in use, these feet should keep the keyboard in place so it doesn't wander across the desk top.
All you have to do is gently squeeze the clips and push them into the bottom of the keyboard to get the palm rest in place. What I did find is that these clips aren't very strong and they will tend to let go of the keyboard pretty easy, so that is something to consider if you plan to use it long term.

Meet the Cast of Lemonade Mouth!
Attention Glee and HSM fans. This Friday, your new favorite movie, Lemonade Mouth premieres on the Disney Channel (in a nutshell: misfits + detention = awesome band). So, get all the dish on the cast now, and get excited for some seriously amazing performances!
By Neha Gandhi
Bridgit Mendler
HOMETOWN: Washington, D.C.
SHE PLAYS: Olivia, the lead singer and narrator, whos trying not to let her personal stuff (and stage fright) mess with the band.
FAVORITE LEMONADE MOUTH SONG: Somebody. I think it's such a sweet song and has a great message.
HER SOUND: I've written a lot of my music acoustically on my guitar. I naturally lean more jazzy with my music, and I used to try and stray away from it, but now I've started to embrace it. But I'm keeping it poppy and fun too.
HER INSPIRATION: I love Adele. She's an amazing songwriter and her voice is so soulful and beautiful, she doesn't even need instruments behind her. One of my favorite songs of hers is "Crazy for You" and on there, it's just the bass playing, and that's all she needs.
FUN FACT: Im kinda wacky. I have a weird sense of humor. But I have shy moments too. You have to get to know me to see that though.
Adam Hicks
HOMETOWN: Las Vegas, NV
HE PLAYS: Wen, the keyboard player (who happens to be an awesome rapper and beatboxer too) for Lemonade Mouth.
HIS FAVORITE SCENE: The Madison Square Garden performance. We literally did it all day long, and it was so much fun. We had all the fans and they were cheering us on, and they had these 70-foot monitors behind us. It was crazy.
HES A SUPERSTAR RAPPER: In fifth grade, I wrote my D.A.R.E. essay as a rap. But I love words. And Im white with freckles. So its fun to have that element of surprise too.
SECRET TALENT: I can stand on my hands for five minutes straight. I took gymnastics a lot for karate, and my balance is pretty good, so its really just about practicing and getting out on your hands."
Hayley Kiyoko
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, CA
SHE PLAYS: Stella, the rebellious girl whose genius family doesnt get her.
NOBODY PUTS HAYLEY IN THE CORNER: I got my first drum set when I was five. It was cherry red. From Toys R Us. The best gift ever. From there I got a bigger drum set and started writing songs on the piano. But I realized I didnt want to be in the back and didnt want to be handicapped behind the set. So I picked up the guitar.
SHE WAS ACCIDENTALLY DISCOVERED: In kindergarten, my best friends mom was doing this computer shoot, and my friend was going to be the Internet girl of America and I went with her to the shoot, and when we arrived, the photographer wanted to use me instead of her. Lets just say we werent friends anymore!
SHE TOURED WITH BIEBER: Im a big concert-goer, and I remember seeing NSync, and Lil Bow Wow was opening, and even then, there werent that many people. And it was crazy to me, we were opening for Justin Bieber, and we went on at 7:00, and he didnt go on until 9:00, and it was still 80-90% full. We were performing to pretty much a packed arena, and it was a priceless experience.
Naomi Scott
HOMETOWN: London, England
SHE PLAYS: Mo, the good girl who has to go behind her strict parents back to see her boyfriendand play in the band.
HER FIRST INSTRUMENT: When I was six, I played the recorded. Dont ask me why. I was such a geek, but that was the first instrument I really played.
SHE SKYPED HER AUDITION: I looked around and there was this TV screen with this board room on the other side. And sitting around this board room were ten people, and I was a little bit flustered. At one point I put the mic in the wrong place. But then a couple days later, I got the part, and my mum and I were jumping around like lunatics.
HIDDEN TALENT: Im not bad at beat boxing. Im not brilliant, but Im not bad. Seriously, JT, he needs to call me up. We need to do a collaboration. Heh.
Chris Brochu
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, CA
HE PLAYS: Jerky Mudslide Crush member Ray, who has some of the most over-the-top scenes in the movie.
FAVORITE SCENE: It would probably have to be the scene where Hayley spit Lemonade all over me. That moment changes everything.
HIS VERSION OF DETENTION: Being an Army brat, I was home schooled most of my life so "detention" was more like extra chores or having to stay inside while everyone on our street played hockey in our cul-de-sac.
Nick Roux
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, CA
HE PLAYS: Scott, the lead guitarist for rival band Mudslide Crush, who also happens to have a flirtation with Mo.
MUSIC IS HIS FIRST LOVE: Ive been playing music my whole life. Got serious with guitar and focused more on it for lemonade mouth. I just like to entertain people, and playing guitar lets me do that so thats what I love best about it.
YOU MIGHT CATCH HIM IN DETENTION FOR: Being late. Or ditching.
Blake Michael
HOMETOWN: Atlanta, GA
HE PLAYS: Charlie, who's living in his soccer superstar brothers shadow.
FUN FACT: "Im a magician. Ive learned to do some really cool tricks like levitating myself and melting forks."
ALL IN THE FAMILY: "I think my love of music comes from my dad. I was born with an ear for music, like him, and started with the piano when I was 4 but fell in love with the drums. My dad always has music playing."

HIS 350L • History of AIDS in Africa-W
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
40605 |
Wilson |
Course Description
This course examines the history of AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa from the 1980s to the present. A special emphasis of the course will trace the early theories of the AIDS epidemic and compare these theories with a broader history concerning the Western gaze and fascination with African sexualized bodies. To fully examine the evolution and spread of AIDS in Africa, the course will focus on regional case studies to evaluate the impact of this catastrophic disease on the diverse African economies, political systems, cultural traditions, gender relations, religious beliefs, educational institutions, global markets, tourism enterprises, as well as the taxing images of the African continent. Too often, our understanding of AIDS in Africa is shaped by misperceptions and myths presented by the Western media. Therefore, this course will consciously move beyond the myths to explore difficult questions and realities about the ever-changing history of AIDS in Africa.

Hi, my first post here, thought I would share this first battle report that I made. Almost straight copy-paste from the video description below:
"Hi, this is my first Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game by Fantasy Flight Games battle report. As I tell in the commentary it´s my fourth time playing the game, but my opponent, who also owns the game has played more so we should have the rules correct. I found a couple of errors when editing, but nothing that would have affected the outcome.
The dice were a bit outrageous so we didn´t get much to play the actual scenario, but it was a fun game nonetheless.
I haven´t planned on doing more of these, but if there is interested people I might as well, just let me know. I personally thought the Star Wars setup allowed me to test some neat new VFX, sadly not all that I tested really worked out properly and didn´t find its way into the final product.
This took me 1.5 days to edit, but the fact that I could use some components from my WM/H-battle reports made it possible to manage that kind of timetable.
I hope you like it."

Hello ppl. My name is Clive. i am new to this forum and I am getting into yoga... i was checkin out this site Ashiyana Yoga Retreat Centre India and i came across SATSANG...I would like to know more about this subject...can some1 pls give me more info abt this topic for me.
Please do reply soon Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Satsang basically means in the company of fellow seekers of truth. In India, satsang is either in the form of talks or bhajans...the singing of hymns. It could also be conversations/interactions with other seekers. E.g. a yoga satsang would be a discussion with an expert on the practice of yoga etc. Hope this is of help. |

I have seen Kevin Love play basketball quite a few times, and if there's one takeaway from that it's that he's very, very sweaty. Therefore, I do not want to smell like him. No thanks.
However, I will agree that he should be an All-Star, regardless of whether or not he's wearing a majestic scarf as he strides through a dimly lit bar that appears to be located inside some sort of garage. Yes to the All-Star, yes to chillin' with a gigantic stuffed wolf, no to the scent.
Also, no to the scarf, now that I think about it. Kind of unnecessary when you're indoors. Even in Minnesota.

The Department of Energy's Office of the Biomass Program has set goals of making ethanol cost competitive by 2012 and replacing 30% of 2004 transportation supply with biofuels by 2030. Both goals require improvements in conversions of cellulosic biomass to sugars as well as improvements in fermentation rates and yields. Current best pretreatment processes are reasonably efficient at making the cellulose/hemicellulose/lignin matrix amenable to enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, but they release a number of toxic compounds into the hydrolysate which inhibit the growth and ethanol productivity of fermentation organisms. Conditioning methods designed to reduce the toxicity of hydrolysates are effective, but add to process costs and tend to reduce sugar yields, thus adding significantly to the final cost of production. Reducing the cost of cellulosic ethanol production will likely require enhanced understanding of the source and mode of action of hydrolysate toxic compounds, the means by which some organisms resist the actions of these compounds, and the methodology and mechanisms for conditioning hydrolysate to reduce toxicity. This review will provide an update on the state of knowledge in these areas and can provide insights useful for the crafting of hypotheses for improvements in pretreatment, conditioning, and fermentation organisms.

Body Treatments
Achieve a Better Body ... Noninvasively
By: Rhonda Allison
Posted: July 27, 2012, from the August 2012 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 4 of 6
Typically enzymes and AHAs—particularly L-lactic acid—work well with the body's tougher skin to lift away the deeper layers of dead skin cells, provide antioxidants, and regenerate and hydrate, leaving the skin smooth and polished. For example, if treating sun-damaged, photoaged, dry, sagging skin, start with a lactic acid prep, followed by a retinol peeling agent with peptides to tone, firm and smooth the skin. For deeper intensity or more aggressive treatments, most body peel services may also be coupled with microdermabrasion.
When treating the body, the skin must always be well-cleansed and exfoliated. Peeling agents are best applied to dry skin to digest dead cells, and soften and hydrate. Finish the treatment with nourishing, skin-building ingredients, such as peptides, growth factors, amino acids and oxygenators. If performed during the daytime, be sure to apply sun protection, such as zinc, which is a good natural physical blocker that limits the risk of irritating the skin, unlike many chemical blockers.
At-home care
After a body peel, it is essential to continue the care at home by recommending nourishing and skin-building formulas. Ingredients, such as peptides, epidermal growth factors, hyaluronic acid, organic stem cells, amino acids and isoflavones—to name a few—will continue the body-improvement process. A good home-care regimen, particularly if treating cellulite, should focus on the following.
Exfoliating and stimulating. Physical and acid/enzyme exfoliators will pave the way for other beneficial ingredients to penetrate the skin cells.
Increasing circulation. An energizing formula containing ingredients, such as peptides, goji berry and coffee extracts, will help re-texture and oxygenate the skin.

06 October 2006
Today is Friday. Today we're celebrating the time-honoured Italian tradition of the sciopero (strike). I arrived at work this morning 3 and a half hours before I needed to. Because I had to catch a strike bus. The thing is, a strike in Italy doesn't have the same "Fuck You!" vindictiveness of a strike in North America (or Canada anyway. Can they still strike in the US?) There is just not the same "there is no other option" desperation. If something isn't sitting right with the union they just take the day off. Just to let you know they can, and just to let you know how much it sucks that they can.
However, for a transit strike they still run the buses from daybreak until 8:30 in the morning, then they start them up again at 5:00. It seems to me a strange way to strike, but it seems a quintessentially Italian way of handling a disagreement.
When I fight with my girlfriend, or when I see an argument, it is usually over something small (I'd say petty). It involves yelling, gesticulating and drama. And then it's over. To me it makes me feel confused and attacked if it's with my girlfriend, or embarrassed if I see it in the street. But for them it's just letting off some steam, dealing with a single solitary issue while it's out in the open, and then it's done. It's like the one day 8 hour strike.
However in Canada, as Chiara goes to pains to point out, we fight differently. If something bothers us we ignore it, sit on it and pretend it doesn't bother us until it really becomes a problem, then we freak out and it becomes a big problem entangled with other issues. It's like how a teachers or nurses dispute can accelerate from negotiations to ignition, explosion and then a strike that stretches out for weeks.
the Italian way seems much more civilized. The doses of conflict and drama spice up the daily life and slays issues before they become something more that they should be. Not that I'm happy about the strike, or being here in the Vatican with 3 and a half hours to kill.

2010 Year End Lists: Stuart McLamb, The Love Language
Like last year, I made a mix tape of my favorite music from my home state, North Carolina. This year I focused exclusively on music coming out of NC's triangle area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill). This hardly showcases the breadth of talent this particular scene has to offer but only so many songs could fit on a 45 minute mix. With every tour and venture out of town, I am consistently reminded of how great it is to call this place home. The songs are available for free download (with the artist/label's consent of course). Enjoy!
Note: Beach Body is our bass player Justin Rodermond's project and he had that song title long before another certain Merge band released theirs! :)

The Interstate Turbine Advisory Council (ITAC) recently added the first 275 kW wind turbine to its Unified List of wind turbines. ITAC, a project of the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA), announced that the Vergnet GEV MP turbine model and its two versions (MP-C and MP-R) meet ITAC's medium wind turbine requirements, a unique set of eligibility criteria that address the performance and reliability of turbines with a rotor swept area of more than 200m2 (meters squared) and up to 1,000m2. The Vergnet turbine joins three other medium-sized turbines on the medium-sized Unified List, released in January 2013.
The criteria and requirements developed for the review will increase consumer confidence in wind technology, provide consistency to public clean energy programs, and ensure that tax or ratepayer funding supports the installation of reliable and safe wind energy technology. The addition of the Vergnet turbine to the ITAC Unified List will increase customers' choices and adds a higher-rated power class to the list, according to CESA.
To view the list of ITAC turbine requirements and the full list of qualified turbines, please visit ITAC's web page. More information on the Vergnet GEV MP turbine certification is available here (.pdf).

I took my two Scottish Folds to the vet today for teeth cleaning. I learned that my 12 yo male (Owen) has a heart murmur which had not been detected in any prior visit to the vet, including his last visit in January 2010 (for yearly check up). Turns out the murmur is only audible when the cat's heart rate is above 180. It was about 200 when vet first called me. I can understand why: the cat had no food since 10 p.m. Thursday night (he was not pleased with this development and expressed his displeasure every 90 minutes throughout the night), I stick him in his carrier and drive(!!!) him to the vet (!!!) at the crack of dawn this morning and leave him there, and he was separated from his sister cat, so he wasn't having the best day on record. His heart rate dropped to 180 and the murmur couldn't be heard at that lower rate. He did have the teeth cleaning and appears to be perfectly fine tonight.
The vet is suggesting an echocardiogram. Have any of you had cat(s) with heart murmurs? If so, how have you decided on treatment? I of course want the best for Owen. I'd appreciate hearing your experiences. Thanks very much. |

I'm not knowledgeable about heart murmurs, but since no one else has posted, I'll offer my thoughts: I'd challenge the vet with the same arguments you've listed here- I'd also get a 2nd opinion, ideally from a good veterinary college. If he were my cat, I would do everything I could to keep from stressing him with extra tests unless someone offered me a *very* good reason in favor of them. I wish you the very best. |
I agree with everything sylviatexas said! Two years ago when I had my one cat to a regional veterinary collage/animal hospital to be seen by specialists (three days spent at the hospital there!) to help diagnose a GI disorder, this 11 year old cat suddenly had a murmur for the first time while a patient at the hospital! They did an echocardiogram because they had to before they would anesthetize him for an upper GI scope, and the echocardiogram showed nothing was wrong! The vet there (a vet cardiac specialist) said that it is not unusual at all for cats to suddenly get a murmur when they are really stressed out! He said, in those instances, the murmur is really stress related and goes away when the stress does! I too would be very reluctant to stress any cat out any more with further tests since this murmur was something new and seems to have a definite cause and effect! I really question your vet's judgement on this and sometimes it seems some vets, like some doctors, will go strictly "by the book" without considering common sense factors. All I know is, our poor pets just don't know what is going on and are scared to death when we take them in to be treated, and unless I feel it is for their good and absolutely necessary, I can't see doing something purely for the sake of being someone's "science project". |
Thank you very much for your responses. I will need more convincing before I subject Owen to the echocardiogram. At the moment he is resting his eyes while laying in a brown paper bag and is the picture of contentment. |
No, but my schnauzer developed one when he was older. The doctor followed it with each visit, as he had no outward symptoms and needed no medication for it until the day we had him put to sleep for advanced age, arthritis, deafness, and myriad other causes where his quality of life had declined to a struggle.........all non-heart related, and having lived four years past his expected life span. The doc said his heart sounded like a wash machine. I can't tell you to disregard your vet's advice. Your kitty could expect to live for another eight years or more with your good care. I would be curious what that would involve with a cat. They are non-invasive, aren't they? But, I'm wondering whether a cat would be cooperative enough to do one without sedation? I suppose the test would be the only way to know if it's innocent or a valvular problem. |
An echocardiogram is just an ultrasound of the heart. It is completely painless, non-invasive, and unless your cat is a total pistol, he shouldn't need any sedation. It is impossible to tell without an echocardiogram if the heart murmur is a problem or not. The best news you can get is no problem- that is certainly worth it to me! Some cats do develop innocent murmurs with higher heart rates; other murmurs heard at higher heart rates can be indicative a potentially fatal disease. The only way to know is through an echocardiogram. You don't treat a heart murmur per se- you treat the disease causing the murmur if there is one. The treatment depends on the disease. Not all diseases are as treatable as others. Endocardiosis is relatively treatable compared to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, for example. Hopefully there is nothing wrong and it was just a stress murmur. I for one would want to know for sure, especially given the procedure is very easy on the cat. |
Thank you, again. |

Abstract: | The teaching staff of a sixth-form college consists of specialists with many different academic and occupational backgrounds – which form the basis of their teaching. May-Britt Waale's dissertation is rooted in this fact and focuses on three main themes: Which forms of teaching are found in the classrooms of teachers from four different occupational groups within the Department of Health and Social Sciences of the sixth-form college. What teaching roles can be found amongst these teachers? What characteristics can be found in the constructs of the teachers' occupational identity? The study is based on classroom research and on collecting stories relating to the careers of a group of general teachers, nursery teachers, nurses and care workers for the mentally-handicapped. The study operates within a framework of symbolic interactionism, with Bernstein's code theory and Weber's concept of rationality occupying a core position alongside a socio-cultural approach to interaction and learning. Analysis of the empirical material reveals that various traditional forms of teaching appear still to be widespread and influenced by purpose rationality and actions determined by tradition. However, alternative teaching forms and flexibility of teaching role frequently occur. Within two of the professional groups a distinctive working rationale is apparent, rooted in the underlying profession. This has resulted in a teaching style termed "practice work": learning in simulated and contextual practice, based on play and work. The concept of providing care is seen to sit deep within several of the teachers, producing various forms of care rationality. Furthermore, within the material six different teacher roles can be identified, between which the teachers move. Of these, "pilot" and "companion" represent the extremes. The "pilot" steers the pupils through familiar and traditional types of teaching, whilst the "companion" participates alongside the pupil in their work. Four different directions become clear in terms of constructs of professional identity: "Dynamic and cemented rooting", "stigmatisation and lost dignity", reinforced status and boosted pride" and what in the dissertation is termed "coordination" of the underlying profession, and teaching. |

Kodak is now number one in digicam sales and the folks in Rochester are poised to take on the big boys at Canon and Nikon with the introduction of the EasyShare P880. The P880 is the flagship of Kodak's new "P" (for Performance) series. "P" series digital cameras combine performance and creative capability with Kodak's signature operational simplicity and ease of use.
Sooner than I expected, Canon has announced a wireless-enabled digital camera to their Powershot SD lineup. The Canon Powershot SD430 Digital ELPH Wireless is most similiar to the SD450. It shoots 5 megapixels with a 3x optical zoom and has a 2 inch LCD. It is expected to be available at the end of January 2006 for $499.99.
After a quick whirlwind across the exhibit floor of the PhotoPlus Expo in NYC, I thought I would fill you in on what I've learned. I got a chance to get some of the newer models in hand and we plan to bring you reviews of as many as we can. Below, I'll touch on some of the highlights from Nikon, Canon, and Konica Minolta. I also enjoyed checking out Fujifilm's S5200, E-900, and S9000 and some of the newer Pentax and Olympus models.

The bureau will participate in various food festivals in the months ahead, and Mather said social media efforts are becoming increasingly strategic and less spontaneous.
The bureau will also promote pear-related posts on Facebook.
"You can target it by interest," she said. "You can get a lot for a little bit of money," she said.
The bureau will have its second year of promotions tied to the children's show "LazyTown" in the 2013-14 season. The campaign will feature in-store material and events for select stores, and school assemblies that feature Sporticus character with health and award assemblies.
Mather said ripening and recipes remain the highest topics of interest for consumers. While most pears are eaten whole or in slices, Mather said the bureau stresses their versatility.
"We can really help them understand that pears can be a part of any course of any meal of the day," she said.
In conjunction with the bureau's LazyTown promotion, Facebook ads can direct consumers to go to retail stores in a particular city for a LazyTown promotion featuring Sportacus. Moms would take pictures of their kids interacting with the LazyTown character.
"You see if it is going to work for something like that, and for us, it did," she said.
Mather said back-to-school communication efforts educate consumers about the first varieties available, including bartletts and starkrimson.
"This is a prime to shine a spotlight on starkrimson," he said.
Mather said the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act has upped the opportunities for fruits and vegetables in schools and pears can play a big part of that.
Over the past two years, she said the bureau has developed new recipes for school foodservice that incorporate other commodity foods.
"We have breakfast recipes, we have entrees, we have a grill cheese sandwich that includes a pear in it, so we're doing lots of fun things that show how pears can be a part of what they are already doing," she said.
For 2013-14, the bureau will increase communications to school foodservice officials. Currently, the bureau has about 1,000 contacts in school foodservice developed at the School Nutrition Association convention. The bureau plans to provide officials with quarterly or monthly e-newsletter reminding them of resources and kits available to them, including handling and ripening tips.
