Description The present invention relates to a topical hyperbaric bandage and to a method of wound healing utilising the same. Hyperbaric apparatus for the treatment of open wounds and lesions by application thereto for therapeutic gas such as oxygen with or without a pharmacologically acceptable additive is generally known. For example in U.S. Pat. No. 5,154,697 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,801,291 there are described various arrangements for the treatment of open lesions in wounds in a hyperbaric chamber with oxygen which promotes granulation, raises capillary blood oxygen levels and elevates redox potential thereby suppressing bacterial growth and encouraging revascularisation. In my earlier patent Application, WO94/21323 I have described a topical hyperbaric bandage comprising a gas diffusion resistant flexible and/or resilient sheet material including an adhesive layer to be fixed to the skin, said adhesive layer surrounding the treatment area, at least one release layer disposed over the adhesive layer and means for supplying a therapeutic gas to the treatment area, the device being adapted to retain a single charge of a therapeutic gas over a treatment period. The device may be further adapted such that it is rechargeable at least once with therapeutic gas for a repeat treatment whilst the device is in situ. The advantage of arrangements of this type is that since previously hyperbaric treatment was only available in suitably equipped hospitals, the arrangement according to my earlier application allowed the translation of hyperbaric treatment to the domestic sphere. This is because not only were the hyperbaric devices small, but also the oxygen supply required was much smaller than had hitherto been the case. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment has been somewhat controversial in the past because of the problems with oxygen toxaemia. We have found that relatively small super-atmospheric pressures of for example 1.03 to 1.04 atmospheres are effective to assist in revascularisation as long as the treatment does not go on too long. For example, treatments of many conditions, e.g. bedsores, for much longer than four hours at one time may well induce oxygen toxaemia and hence be counterproductive. Our previous invention was based on the proposition that only a single charge of oxygen was not only necessary but highly desirable. Although, the single charge may be repeated after a few days or even after a few hours if required. The previous practice of flowing oxygen over a lesion for an indeterminate period was not only unnecessary, but clinically counterproductive. One attempt at producing such a bandage is to be found in GB-A-2024012. This reveals a two-part storable topical hyperbaric wound dressing which comprises a peroxy compound such as hydrogen peroxide and an agent for activating the same to produce oxygen. Both components are absorbed or disposed on juxtaposed sheets and rely on either moisture from the wound to achieve activation or from the crushing of microspheres of the initiator prior to assembly about the wound. This arrangement is not satisfactory in part because the peroxy compounds are so labile when not liquid. Although they may be absorbed on a particular material experimentally, storage in commercial conditions results in the peroxy compound deteriorating rapidly. This is particularly so a higher temperatures. What is required therefore is a hyperbaric bandage which is ready to use, easy to store and reliable. This is achieved in part by providing a liquid reservoir of the peroxy compound. A catalyst may not be required as such because haemoglobin from the wound may act as the necessary catalyst in some circumstances. The present invention is characterised in that the topical hyperbaric bandage comprises a reservoir for a source of therapeutic gas in liquid form and in that gas release from the reservoir is initiable after the bandage has been secured to the skin. It will be appreciated that the therapeutic gas in non-gaseous form is most usually stored in chemical form and is released by a biologically acceptable reaction which occurs within the device on actuation. Thus the hyperbaric bandage may comprise a biologically acceptable means for a support of a reducing metal or other catalyst or other reactive material, physically separated from the store but juxtaposed thereto. The therapeutic gas is usually mainly oxygen, the biologically acceptable support is most preferably an antiseptic pad secured or free within the bandage adjacent the proposed treatment area. The catalyst may include compounds containing transition metals. The source of therapeutic gas is preferably antiseptic itself in its stored form and is hyperbaric on release to the treatment area. One example of a therapeutic gas of this type is oxygen emanating from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide, catalysed by a reducing metal catalyst such as zinc or copper or indeed, any other biologically acceptable reducing metal catalyst. Alternatively, the catalyst may be haemoglobin itself which it is to be found in fresh wounds. In which case, either no separate catalyst is required, or such catalyst that is required is for secondary or back-un use. The reservoir may comprise release means operable after the bandage is secured to the skin to provide communication between the reservoir and the treatment area enclosed by the secured bandage; the establishment of communication serving to initiate the release of hyperbaric gas. One such means is a drawstring moulded integrally with a store or reservoir such that it will open the reservoir to release a fluid into the treatment area to initiate gas generation. Alternatively, an adhesively attached aluminium foil can be employed. It will be appreciated that the remote end of the drawstring or foil may be secured between the release layer and the adhesive layer prior to the securing of the bandage to the skin, and that a firm pull on the remote end of the drawstring will have the effect of ripping open or otherwise puncturing the reservoir to release a liquid peroxy compound such as hydrogen-peroxide or percarbonate, stabilized if necessary, so that the liquid flows into contact with a zinc or copper catalyst deposited on a gauze to produce both free oxygen and water. In a particularly preferred form of the invention the dressing or gauze may comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable humectant, for example TPH hydrophilic polymer (trade name), to bind water molecules on generation. The TPH hydrophilic polymer belongs to a family of hydrophilic polyether polyurethanes and is particularly suited to this application because of its hydrophilic and gas permeable properties. The TPH hydrophilic polymer can be further used for a two part bandage whereby the TPH polymer dressing is adapted to remain in situ when the rest of the bandage is removed. When a repeat hyperbaric treatment is required, a new hyperbaric bandage, but without a dressing, can be placed directly on top of the TPH polymer dressing without disturbing the wound. Also, the TPH polymer may be impregnated with an appropriate anti-bacterial such that it can act as a bandage in-itself once it is separated from the hyperbaric device, and a normal surgical dressing is no longer required. Other matrices with the properties of gas permeability and/or hydrophilicity may also be used in a similar fashion. The hyperbaric bandage may be adapted to be rechargeable with a source of therapeutic gas on at least one occasion. In a preferred embodiment, there is provided an air-tight resealable vent on the upper surface of the bandage. A fresh supply of for example hydrogen peroxide can be injected through the vent directly onto the dressing comprising the catalyst. Upon contact with the catalyst the therapeutic oxygen is released into the wound. The therapeutic gas such as oxygen supplied to the treatment area may be heated to a temperature between 20� C. and 44� C., preferably between 32� C. and 39� C. and more preferably about 37� C. This heating may be conveniently achieved by arranging that the peroxy-compound catalysis is exothermic. In such an arrangement, the gas diffusion resistant material may be double walled, as in bubble film, to retain heat as far as possible. The present invention will now be described by way of illustration only with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein: FIG. 1 shows a vertical cross-section through a device of the invention. FIG. 2 shows a vertical cross-section through a device of the invention comprising a resealable vent. With reference to FIG. 1 a topical hyperbaric bandage (1) is provided with a gas-impermeable flexible and/or resilient material (2) which is preferably a transparent plastics material such as a polyalkylene, polythene or PVC sheet in the general form of a rectangle or square having a dimension of for example 100 mm by 120 mm. The sheet material may be formed by non-elastic stretching or thermo-forming with a pocket over the treatment area to retain a dressing therein, or merely to provide a greater area of containment of therapeutic gas. The sheet material (2) is formed over the entirety of its lower surface with a first adhesive layer (2A) whereas the upper layer is essentially non-adhesive. The first adhesive layer (2A) is a thin hydrocolloid adhesive having a thickness preferable of 0.45 mm. Other suitable materials for adhering bandages for wound dressings etc. may be used with a thickness ranging between 0.20-0.60 mm. Centrally disposed on the underside of the sheet material (2) is a gas/liquid-impermeable reservoir material (5) containing a liquid chemical reservoir of releasable therapeutic oxygen such as hydrogen peroxide (4). Other chemically stored forms of releasable therapeutic oxygen may also be used. The reservoir (5) is made of resilient and/or flexible plastics material and is adhered to the underside of the sheet material (2) with the adhesive layer (2A). Juxtaposed below the reservoir (5), and preferably extending over the operative area is a gauze or dressing (6) of a pharmacologically acceptable foamed material impregnated with a catalyst or reaction activator such as a transition metal compound. The dressing (6) may alternatively be a traditional multi-layer woven material. The dressing (6) extends beyond the periphery of the reservoir (5) such that its exposed upper surface is fixedly adhered to the underside of the sheet material (2) with the adhesive layer (2A). Alternatively the dressing may be omitted along with the catalyst or reaction activator since haemoglobin from the wound will act as a catalyst for the peroxy compounds. Integral with the reservoir material (5) there is a release means (3), preferably a strong string, the first end of said string or foil (3) being detachably attached to the reservoir material (5) along a line of weakness such that when the string (3) is pulled, the reservoir material (5) tears to release the hydrogen peroxide (4) onto the dressing (6). The string (3) is threaded through or over the dressing (6) and then between the adhesive layer (2A) of the sheet material (2) and a secondary release layer (9) (described below) such that an adequate portion of the string (3) extends beyond the secondary release layer (9) to leave the second end of the string (3) a free end. Alternative release means may also be used such that the air-tight seal over the operative area is not compromised such as aluminium foil disposed over a preformed aperture. To the underside of the edges of the sheet material (2) is applied a primary release layer (8) which is secured to the adhesive layer (2A) on the underside of the sheet material (2), and generally conforms to the exterior periphery thereof. The release layer is an essentially non-adhesive layer which forms a weak bond with the adhesive layer (2A) disposed on the underside of the sheet material (2). In the arrangement shown in FIG. 1 the release layer is formed in a two layer partially overlapped configuration, whereby the removal of the primary release layer (8) allows a portion of the adhesive face to be exposed for contact with the skin about the wound. A secondary release layer (9) is secured to each parallel side of the sheet material (2). This arrangement allows the device to be correctly orientated relative to the wound and secured in this orientation while the second release layer (9) or layers are removed so that the device is correctly orientated on the skin without folds or rucks. In the arrangement as shown in FIG. 1 the edge portions of the primary release layer (8) do not adhere to the underside of the sheet material (2) but are left free. The secondary release layer (9), however, is adhered to the remaining underside on each parallel side of the sheet material (2) in between the primary release layer (8) and the sheet material (2). Optionally, the dressing (6) may further comprise a layer of humectant or inert hygroscopic material (7) on the side not in contact with the reservoir (5). This enables any residual water resulting from a chemical reaction to be absorbed and allows the wound area to remain dry. Whether the addition of the hygroscopic material (7) is required will be determined by the type of reaction used to release the therapeutic gas from a stored form. In an alternative arrangement the topical hyperbaric bandage (1) may be in two parts such that the sheet material (2) can be removed after hyperbaric treatment of the wound area whilst the dressing (6) is left in situ. Thus the lesion is not disturbed during repeated treatments. The dressing may be impregnated with an appropriate anti-bacterial composition to prevent the lesion from becoming infected or septic. When the next hyperbaric treatment is required, a new bandage (1) but without the dressing (6) can be applied directly on to the dressing (6) from the previous treatment. The dressing (6) for use in this manner is suitable for several repeat treatments. Specifically, the dressing in this embodiment is a hydrophilic polymer which belongs to a family of hydrophilic polyether polyurethanes and is currently marketed under the trade name TPH hydrophilic polymer. The TPH polymer is a gas permeable matrix and is also hydrophilic. These properties are particularly suited for this invention, since the TPH polymer can absorb the water released from the hydrogen peroxide reaction and since the polymer is gas permeable, the hyperbaric treatment is unhindered. With reference to FIG. 2, in an alternative arrangement of a hyperbaric bandage there may be a resealable vent (12) on the upper surface of the sheet material (2). The air-tight seal is achieved with for example a second layer of adhesive sheet material (11). The vent allows access to the dressing (6) and the space therebelow only. Thus, when a repeat hyperbaric treatment is required, the second layer of sheet material (11) is removed and a given quantity of hydrogen peroxide injected onto the dressing. The second layer of sheet material (11) is replaced immediately to reseal the vent (12) and prevent escape of evolved oxygen. The fresh hydrogen peroxide reacts with the catalyst in the dressing (6) to evolve the therapeutic oxygen. Further, during application of the bandage to the skin, the vent (12) may be opened and the raised portion of the bandage compressed against the skin to expel as much air as possible, prior to the release of the hydrogen peroxide, thereby to allow the space between the dressing (6) and the lesion to fill with a greater proportion of released oxygen. The hyperbaric device (1) is applied to a preferably dirt and grim free, smoothed or pre-shaven skin. The first underside (10) of the hyperbaric device (1) is the side not comprising the free end of the string (3) whereas the second underside (10A) of the hyperbaric device (1) comprises the free end of the string (3). The said first underside (10) is fixed onto the pre-treated skin first by peeling off both the first release layer (8) and the second release layer (9). Then whilst firmly pressing the sheet material (2) on the second underside (10A) onto the skin, the remaining secondary release layer (9) is peeled off. Once the hyperbaric device (1) is thus securely in position the free end of the string (3) can be pulled out firmly from the second underside (10A) which forms an air-tight seal between the sheet material (2) and the skin. Upon thus pulling the string (3) the reservoir (5) tears to release the hydrogen peroxide (4) onto the catalyst impregnated in the dressing (6). The ensuing chemical reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the reducing metal catalyst, releases a charge of oxygen over a period of about 5 to 20 minutes. The released oxygen is trapped within the gas-impermeable sheet material (2) and thereby creates a small super-atmospheric pressure of around 1.03 to 1.04 atmospheres thereby being bought into contact with the wound. The water resulting from such a chemical reaction may be absorbed into the inert hygroscopic material (7). The quantity of hydrogen peroxide in the reservoir is determined by the amount of oxygen required to effectively treat a given lesion. For example 1 ml of 2M H2 O2 will release sufficient oxygen to create a pressure of around 2.20 atmospheres within the enclosed device where the dimensions of the enclosed volume are 5 cm by 2 cm by 1 cm deep. However,it is estimated that since at least 40% to 60% of the released oxygen will be lost through seepage, absorption into surrounding materials, incomplete reaction and natural diffusion, there will be a working pressure of at least 1.03 atmospheres which is more than sufficient to allow a charge of oxygen to enter the wound. By suitable adjustment of the quantities of hydrogen peroxide in relation to the volume of enclosed area between the wound and the device (1) when fixed in position, the problem of hypoxia and over inflation of the hyperbaric device (1) is avoided. Devices in accordance with the present invention may thus be applied such as to reduce hypoxia but avoid oxygen toxaemia. Typical regimes such as one treatment of 20 minutes to 2 hours duration twice a day to repeated treatments over several days allow wounds and lesions to cure quickly. Each device is for a single use and is disposable after one use. Optionally, in a second embodiment, there may be a facility for injecting a given quantity of fresh hydrogen peroxide into the device, to recommence the reaction. It will be appreciated that because of the portable nature of the device and the ease of use, patients with lesions can apply the device to the wound themselves without the need for professional medical intervention. Accordingly, the arrangement of the present invention is cheap and easy enough to use to bring hyperbaric treatment more widely into use. The invention provides, therefore a topical hyperbaric device for a single application; a disposable device comprising a self-contained liquid store of therapeutic gas such as oxygen, said gas being released into the wound upon chemical activation by a catalyst or by the catalytic action of haemoglobin.

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with birth control pills (oral contraceptives); however, not everyone who uses birth control pills will experience side effects. In fact, most women tolerate them quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
Some of the common birth control pill side effects include but are not limited to:
Acne, although birth control pills can also improve acne
Breast tenderness and enlargement
Breakthrough bleeding and spotting between periods

Pretty good base coat. My polish lasts longer than with my Revlon top/base coat (which really sucks at both, so maybe this comparison won't hold too much water) and I haven't noticed any yellowing. The polish comes off decently easily with remover too, which isn't always the case. Dries fast and it's thin and easy to apply. The brush is good, but nothing amazing.
Overall, not bad, but for the price, I was expecting something amazing. I'd go for SH or another drugstore brand after I finish the bottle, though.
More reviews by SilentPerfection
Still trialing this one but thus far i am a pretty happy customer. So far im finding that as a base coat alone its nothing too special but in a sandwhich method its pretty spectacular! It lasts longest when used with matte polishes (i top coat it to make them glossy) second best are shimmers and cremes are third in staying power.
My matte mani (sinful rie and shine) 7 days minimal tip wear and one big chip (i'll explain in the con's section).
Shimmer mani 5 days some chipping on corners minimal chip wear.
Creme i had bad luck with but that one i didnt sandwhich, two days till it bubbled and peeled badly at the tips.
To me this one was worth the investment considering i am brutal to my nail when it comes to water damage and i can rarely get a polish to lst more than 2 days. So the 7 day matte mani was a miricle to me by then i was bored of it covered it in black crackle and went another two days before i decided i wanted to take it off.
Ok the con's. This stuff when used in a sandwhich has given me unheard of staying power but it does have a kryptonite....Score damage :(. If you are prone to lleaving score marks in your polish you might be setting yourself up for dissapointment here.
On my matte mani that lasted the longest i probably could have gone ten days if i hadnt reached into a bag after my shower and nicked my polish on my cuticle nippers. The next day the chunk on the side of my nail the polish peeled right off after doing the dishes. Same happened to my shimmer mani when i hit my nail on my keys digging through my purse. I dont normally get that kind of damage so to me bonder is worth the extra time it takes to sandwhich it.
After proper nail filing and buffing of course, this product is key in prolonging my manicure. This base coat works best with higher end polishes, but it will definitely extend the wear of the cheapie polishes too. This is a relatively quick drying formula that does feel rubbery to the touch when applied to the nail. I will definitely be keeping this product around.

I love the way a fresh mani looks, but don't have the time to do it every day or two. I would always have to touch up extensive tip wear and large chips within a day of painting my nails until I started using Orly Bonder.
I can get through minimum of 2 days with very minor tip wear using this stuff, and it leaves a nice smooth, rubberized foundation for polish to go over.
Highly recommend! I am heading on a weeks vacation soon and I think I could trust this base coat to give me a mani that will last that long with minimal touch ups!! :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't know why, but this product does not help me with keeping my nail polish from clipping. I use top of the line nail polish but I can chip my nail polish the same exact day I put it on! I have never found a product that helps with chipping. My search continues.
I have never had my own manicure last more than 2 days without chipping.
This stuff is incredible! I'm on my fourth full day and my nails are still PERFECT. And I'm a 2nd grade teacher.
I've been asked by two of my coworkers if I got a manicure done. Nope. Just my amazing new discovery of Orly Bonder Rubberized Base Coat!!!
The nail color goes on so nicely on top of this base coat. And it stays there. I top it with Seche Vita and BINGO. I've hit the jackpot!!
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've used Orly Bonder several times and have kind of a mixed opinion about it. The first time I used it, nails didn't dry. Three hours after application, my nails were still smudging. I then reapplied again with a fast dry nail polish by Revlon rather than the Essie I had just used, and with Seche as my top coat (I used that first time around as well) and nails were perfect. They didn't chip for 5 days, I've never had an average mani last so long. So I tried with a few more polishes since then and nails chip or smudge very easily. I've even let it dry for 10-15 minutes between coats and I still can't get it to dry. The reason why I'm giving it a 5 is because, when used with my fast dry polishes, it seems like it has no problems. When I have lots of extra time this weekend, I'm going to update with the latest - I'm letting it sit for as long as possible between coats of my favorite Essie polish and see if it produces a better result.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Best base coat by far. The price makes me cringe, and I'll but something else hoping it will be as good as Bonder. Then my manicure will chip instantly and I'll buy the Bonder and kick myself for second guessing.
This stuff grips your nail polish. Paired with a decent top coat, you get a week out of your manicure with just tip wear (and I'm a mom who does dishes without gloves, and I bake like crazy). Without Bonder, forget about it. This is a total HG product.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My Aunt recommended this base coat to me and let me tell you, I LOVE IT! :) It helps polish go on smoother, stay on for at least a week if not 10 days, and is just overall amazing! I've never really thought base coats did much until I tried this one. It rocks :)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this basecoat for the past month, and my nails are so much stronger now! They were so thin and very quick to peel. I still have one nail that tends to split, but the others are uniform and much thicker.
I have been using the Bonder as a basecoat only, not as a topcoat. I change my polish every 2 days as my polish tends to chip badly. I'm in health care and wash my hands often. When this bottle is gone, I'll switch to a different basecoat to see if I get fewer chips. (To note, I always use either Poshe or Seche as a topcoat.)
The formula also is very smooth and easy to put on, and dries quickly. Don't count on protection from staining, however! My nails have stained yellow, and not slightly!!! I do use dark colors most of the time...

Dual Averaging for Distributed Optimization: Convergence Analysis and Network Scaling
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The goal of decentralized optimization over a network is to optimize a global objective formed by a sum of local (possibly non-smooth) convex functions using only local computation and communication. It arises in various application domains, including distributed tracking and localization, multiagent co-ordination, estimation in sensor networks, and large-scale machine learning. The authors develop and analyze distributed algorithms based on dual subgradient averaging, and they provide sharp bounds on their convergence rates as a function of the network size and topology.

Wholesale Internet Implements Noction IRP to Improve Network Performance
PALO ALTO, CA, Feb 11, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Wholesale Internet, a company specialized in providing internet services such as Colocation and Dedicated Servers, has announced its deployment of Noction Intelligent Routing Platform (IRP) to intelligently route traffic across multiple IP networks. Under the agreement, Wholesale Internet has installed Noction IRP in its Kansas City based datacenter.
Noction IRP will provide Wholesale Internet with intelligent route control, performance monitoring and reporting for the IP network.
IRP's active probes will detect increased latency or packet loss through each connected ISP and automatically reroute traffic through higher performing routes. Deployed at the enterprise network edge, the platform will allow Wholesale Internet to take control of its network by adjusting and keeping predefined bandwidth commit rate levels for each provider link. "Noction IRP is one of those products that, once we deployed it in our network, we wondered how we had ever been in business without it," said Wholesale Internet founder, Aaron Wendel.
Most multi-homed networks rely solely on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), a basic protocol that operates between many networks that make up the Internet, to determine which route to take for any given destination. Since BGP is unaware of the path quality between two networks, performance can suffer. Noction IRP proactively reviews each network for the best performing route and directs traffic according to its performance policy, which includes such metrics as latency and packet loss. The deployment of IRP reduces the operational load of manual traffic management via router policies manipulation and improves the stability and predictability of the network.
About Noction Noction is a privately funded technology company with offices in North America and Europe. Founded in 2010, Noction is providing BGP network performance automation, enabling enterprises to take full advantage of the maximum network performance for business-critical applications such as e-commerce, VoIP, and media streaming across IP networks. For more information please visit www.noction.com or call +1 (650) 618-9823.
About Wholesale Internet Wholesale Internet, Inc. is an internet service company based in downtown Kansas City, MO. Incorporated in 1999, Wholesale Internet specializes in providing internet services such as Colocation, and Dedicated Servers. For more information please visit www.wholesaleinternet.net or call +1 (816) 256-3031.

One of my Lure doors was damaged, and I didn't want it to fall off, so I used the health cheat. Not only did the damaged door fall off, the other door that was in perfect condition fell off too. You'd think cheats would entail an advantage rather than a disadvantage.

ABSTRACT: Four experiments were conducted to determine the effects of supplemental Trp on meat quality, plasma and salivary cortisol, and plasma lactate. Experiment 1 was a preliminary study to measure plasma cortisol concentrations in 4 barrows (50 kg of BW) that were snared for 30 s at time 0 min. Pigs were bled at -60, -30, -15, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min. Plasma cortisol was near maximum 10 min after the pigs were snared. In Exp. 2, 20 barrows (50 kg of BW) were allotted to a basal corn-soybean meal diet or the basal diet with 0.5% supplemental l-Trp for 5 d. After the 5-d feeding period, pigs were snared for 30 s and bled at -10, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min after snaring. Pigs fed the diet with supplemental Trp had a lower (P < 0.01) mean plasma cortisol than pigs fed the basal diet. Plasma lactate also was decreased (P < 0.07) by supplemental Trp. In Exp. 3, the same pigs and treatments were used as in Exp. 2, but 5 pigs were snared and 15 pigs adjacent to those being snared were bled to determine if pigs are stressed when they are adjacent to pigs being snared. For pigs adjacent to snared pigs, the area under the curve (P < 0.06) and mean for plasma cortisol was lower (P < 0.01) in pigs fed Trp relative to those fed the basal diet. In Exp. 4, 90 barrows (initial BW of 106 kg) were allotted to 6 treatments in a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement. Three diets with Trp (basal diet, basal supplemented with 0.5% Trp for 5 d, or pigs fed the basal diet with a 0.1 g/kg of BW Trp bolus given 2 h before slaughter) were combined with 2 handling methods (minimal and normal handling). Dressing percent, 24-h pH, and 24-h temperature were reduced in the minimally handled pigs (P < 0.10) compared with the normally handled pigs. Pigs fed Trp in the diet relative to those fed the basal diet had increased 45-min temperature, Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values, and drip and total losses (P < 0.10). Tryptophan in bolus form decreased 45-min pH in the minimally handled pigs but increased 45-min pH in the normally handled pigs (handling x Trp bolus interaction, P = 0.08). Tryptophan in the diet increased CIE lightness (L*) in minimally handled pigs but decreased CIE L* in the normally handled pigs (handling x Trp diet interaction, P = 06). No other response variables were affected by handling method or Trp. Results indicate that Trp decreases plasma cortisol but has no positive effect on meat quality.Journal of Animal Science 09/2006; 84(8):2251-9. · 1.92 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Stress occurs in intensive pig farming when piglets are weaned and mixed. In this study, we investigated whether this stress might be reduced with elevated dietary levels of Trp. The effects of supplemental dietary Trp (5 g/kg of feed, as-fed basis) were tested on the neuroendocrine system, intestinal integrity, behavior, and growth performance in nursery pigs, both before and after mixing. Mixing occurred 5 d after weaning and diet introduction. On d 4, 5, and 6, Trp-fed pigs vs. control pigs showed approximately a 2-fold elevation in plasma Trp concentrations (68 +/- 7 vs. 32 +/- 2 micromol/L; P < 0.001), a 38% increase in hypothalamic serotonin turnover as measured by 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid:5-hydroxytryptamine (P < 0.001), and an 11 to 18% increase (P < 0.05) in the intestinal villus height:crypt depth. Before (d 4) and at (d 5) mixing, saliva but not plasma cortisol concentrations were reduced (P < 0.02) by approximately 2-fold in Trp-fed pigs vs. control pigs. Intestinal paracellular (horseradish peroxidase) and transcellular (fluorescein isothiocyanate) transport of macromolecules were not affected by dietary treatment, but mixing induced a 2-fold reduction (P < 0.05) in transcellular transport. Behavioral responses (lying and standing) at mixing were not affected by dietary treatment, except on d 10 after diet introduction when Trp supplementation induced more lying and less standing (P < 0.02). Average daily gain and ADFI were not different among dietary groups (P > 0.10). In conclusion, supplemental dietary Trp (5 g/kg) to piglets increased hypothalamic serotonergic activity, reduced the salivary cortisol response to mixing, improved intestinal morphology, and reduced physical activity 10 d after diet introduction. Consequently, diets containing high Trp levels improved neuroendocrine components of stress and increased gastrointestinal robustness but did not affect behavioral reactivity in nursery pigs during weaning and mixing.Journal of Animal Science 04/2006; 84(4):963-71. · 1.92 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The optimal ratio of tryptophan (Trp):lysine (Lys) relative to the ratio of threonine (Thr):Lys was studied in 288 crossbred (Cambrough 15 x Canabrid) nursery pigs from 7.1 to 15.6 kg BW. Treatments were arranged in a 3 x 3 factorial with three calculated ratios of true digestible Thr:Lys (0.55, 0.60, or 0.65) in combination with three Trp:Lys ratios (0.145, 0.170, or 0.195). Treatments were replicated with eight pens of four pigs each. The experiment lasted 28 day with Phase II (222.6 g CP and 11.9 g true digestible Lys/kg diet, initially 24 day of age and 7.1 kg BW) and Phase III (196.2 g CP and 10.1 kg true digestible Lys/kg diet, initially 38 day of age and 9.8 kg BW) diets each fed for 14 day. Threonine by Trp interactions were observed for average daily gain during each period, and for daily feed intake during Phase III and overall. Generally, Trp addition linearly increased gain and feed intake at a Thr:Lys ratio of 0.60 and 0.65 but not at a Thr:Lys ratio of 0.55. Gain:feed was increased linearly with increasing levels of Trp during both periods. There were no main effects of Thr in either time period or overall. Overall, optimal performance was obtained in pigs fed the true digestible Trp:Lys ratio of 0.195 at Thr:Lys ratios 0.60 or 0.65. These results indicate that Trp:Lys ratios above 0.195 may be needed to maximize performance in diets containing wheat and barley.J Anim Physiol a Anim Nutr 09/2005; 89(7-8):297-302. · 1.32 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Five experiments were conducted to determine the true ileal digestible Trp (tidTrp) requirement of growing and finishing pigs fed diets (as-fed basis) containing 0.87% (Exp. 3), 0.70% (Exp. 4), 0.61% (Exp. 5), and 0.52% (Exp. 1 and 2) tidLys during the early-grower, late-grower, early-finisher, and late-finisher periods, respectively. Treatments were replicated with three or four replications, with three or four pigs per replicate pen. Treatment differences were considered significant at P = 0.10. Experiment 1 was conducted with 27 pigs (initial and final BW of 78.3 +/- 0.5 and 109.8 +/- 1.9 kg) to validate whether a corn-feather meal (FM) tidTrp-deficient (0.07%) diet, when supplemented with 0.07% crystalline l-Trp, would result in growth performance and carcass traits similar to a conventional corn-soybean meal (C-SBM) diet. Pigs fed the corn-FM diet without Trp supplementation had decreased growth performance and carcass traits, and increased plasma urea N (PUN) concentration. Supplementing the corn-FM diet with Trp resulted in greater ADG and G:F than pigs fed the positive control C-SBM diet. Pigs fed the corn-FM diet had similar carcass traits as pigs fed the C-SBM diet, but loin muscle area was decreased and fat thickness was increased. In Exp. 2, 60 pigs (initial and final BW of 74.6 +/- 0.50 and 104.5 +/- 1.64 kg) were used to estimate the tidTrp requirement of finishing pigs. The levels of tidTrp used in Exp. 2 were 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12, or 0.14% (as-fed basis). Response variables were growth performance, PUN concentrations, and carcass traits and quality. For Exp. 2, the average of the estimates calculated by broken-line regression was 0.104% tidTrp. In Exp. 3, 4, and 5, barrows (n = 60, 60, or 80, respectively) were allotted to five dietary treatments supplemented with crystalline l-Trp at increments of 0.02%. The basal diets contained 0.13, 0.09, and 0.07% tidTrp (as-fed basis) in Exp. 3, 4, and 5, and initial BW of the pigs in these experiments were 30.9 +/- 0.7, 51.3 +/- 1.1, and 69.4 +/- 3.0 kg, respectively. The response variable was PUN, and the basal diet used in Exp. 3 and 4 contained corn, SBM, and Canadian field peas. The tidTrp requirements were estimated to be 0.167% for pigs weighing 30.9 kg, 0.134% for pigs weighing 51.3 kg, and 0.096% for pigs weighing 69.4 kg. Based on our data and a summary of the cited literature, we suggest the following total Trp and tidTrp requirement estimates (as-fed basis): 30-kg pigs, 0.21 and 0.18%; 50-kg pigs, 0.17 and 0.14%; 70-kg pigs, 0.13 and 0.11%; and in 90-kg pigs, 0.13 and 0.11%.Journal of Animal Science 07/2005; 83(6):1303-11. · 1.92 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of dietary Cr propionate (CrProp) on growth, carcass traits, and pork quality of crossbred finishing gilts. Dietary treatments were 0 or 200 ppb Cr (as CrProp; as-fed basis), and each treatment was replicated four times with five gilts per replicate pen. Gilts were fed diets containing 0.82% lysine from 73 to 80 kg BW and 0.64% lysine from 80 to 115 kg BW. At the end of the trial, carcass and pork quality data were collected from four gilts per replicate. Average daily gain, ADFI, and G:F were not affected (P = 0.76 to 0.96) by CrProp. Before delivery at the abattoir, shrink loss was determined after an 18-h fast (fasting shrink) and after hauling (shipping shrink) pigs for 2.66 h (209.2 km). Fasting, shipping, and overall shrink were not affected (P = 0.14 to 0.39) by CrProp. Carcass length was increased (P = 0.03) in pigs fed CrProp. Loin muscle area, 10th-rib backfat thickness, average backfat thickness, dressing percent, muscle score, fat-free lean, and percent lean were not affected (P = 0.18 to 0.95) by CrProp. Twenty-four-hour loin pH was increased (P = 0.10) in pigs fed CrProp, but 45-min loin and ham pH and 24-h ham pH were not affected (P = 0.39 to 0.83) by CrProp. Subjective (color, marbling, firmness, and wetness) and objective (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage L*, a*, b*) assessments of the loin muscle (at the 10th-rib interface) were not affected (P = 0.62 to 0.99) by CrProp. Forty-eight-hour drip (P = 0.10) and 21-d purge loss (P = 0.01) were decreased in pigs fed CrProp, but cook and total loss (drip + cook loss) and shear force were not affected (P = 0.35 to 0.53) by CrProp. Plasma cortisol, glucose, and lactate concentrations were not affected (P = 0.28 to 0.97) by CrProp after transportation or during exsanguination. These data indicate that CrProp may improve some aspects of pork quality (loin pH, drip and purge loss) but not growth performance or carcass traits.Journal of Animal Science 05/2005; 83(4):858-62. · 1.92 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Five experiments were conducted to determine the true digestible Trp (dTrp) requirement of nursery pigs. Treatments were replicated with four or five pens of five or six pigs each. Pigs were weaned at 21 (Exp. 1, 2, and 5) or 19 d (Exp. 3 and 4), and fed common diets for various times and then experimental diets for 8 (Exp. 1), 13 (Exp. 2 and 3), or 14 d (Exp. 4 and 5). Experiment 1 (160 pigs, initial and final BW of 8.4 and 11.4 kg) evaluated six protein sources low in Trp relative to a positive control diet to identify the protein source to be used in subsequent experiments. The results indicated that a diet with Canadian field peas (CFP) supplemented with Trp resulted in ADG, ADFI, and gain:feed (GF) equal to (P > 0.10) the positive control diet. In Exp. 2, 75 pigs (initial and final BW of 13.2 and 19.2 kg) were fed 1) Trp-deficient diet (0.13% dTrp) with CFP, 2) Diet 1 with added Trp (0.23% dTrp), or 3) positive control diet (0.22% dTrp). Daily gain, ADFI, and GF were decreased (P < 0.01) in pigs fed Diet 1 compared with pigs fed Diets 2 and 3, but ADG, ADFI, and GF were equal (P > 0.10) in pigs fed Diets 2 and 3. Experiments 3 (180 pigs, initial and final BW of 5.2 and 7.3 kg), 4 (120 pigs, initial and final BW of 6.3 and 10.2 kg), and 5 (144 pigs, initial and final BW of 10.3 and 15.7 kg) were conducted to estimate the dTrp requirement of nursery pigs with diets using CFP as a primary protein source. The diets used in Exp. 3, 4, and 5 contained 1.35, 1.19, or 1.01% dLys, respectively, and other amino acids were provided at 105% the ratio relative to Lys. Response variables were ADG, ADFI, GF, and plasma urea N concentrations, and data were analyzed using the broken-line model. The levels of dTrp in the diets for Exp. 3 (Phase I, 5.2 to 7.3 kg) were 0.14, 0.17, 0.20, 0.23, 0.26, and 0.29%. The average dTrp requirement was estimated to be 0.21% (0.24% total Trp). The levels of dTrp in the diets for Exp. 4 (Phase II, 6.3 to 10.2 kg) were 0.13, 0.16, 0.19, 0.22, 0.25, and 0.28%. The average dTrp requirement was estimated to be 0.20% (0.23% total Trp). The levels of dTrp in the diets for Exp. 5 (Phase III, 10.3 to 15.7 kg) were 0.130, 0.155, 0.180, 0.205, 0.230, and 0.255%. The average dTrp requirement was estimated to be 0.18% (0.22% total Trp). These results indicate that the true dTrp requirement is 0.21, 0.20, and 0.18% for Phase I (5.2 to 7.3 kg), II (6.3 to 10.2 kg), and III (10.3 to 15.7 kg) nursery pigs, respectively.Journal of Animal Science 10/2002; 80(10):2646-55. · 1.92 Impact Factor -
Article: Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate and creatine effects on growth and plasma metabolites of nursery pigs.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Four experiments were conducted to determine the effect of dietary ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) and creatine monohydrate on growth performance and plasma metabolites of nursery pigs. In each experiment, treatments were replicated with four to five pens of four to six pigs each. Each experiment lasted from 3 to 4 wk and Phase I (1.6% Lys) and Phase II (1.3 to 1.5% Lys) diets were fed for 9 to 16 d each. In Exp. 1, pigs (4.7 kg and 15 d of age) were fed diets containing 0, .10, or .75% OKG. Daily gain during a 13-d Phase I period and ADFI during Phase I and overall (29 d) were increased (P < .10) in pigs fed .75% OKG. Gain:feed ratio was not affected (P > .10) by diet. In Exp. 2, pigs (7.1 kg and 23 d of age) were fed 0 or .50% OKG during Phase I only. During Phase I, II, and overall, ADG and ADFI were not affected (P > .10) by OKG supplementation, but gain:feed was decreased during Phase I (P < .04), Phase II (P < .08), and overall (P < .04). Plasma urea N (PUN), glucose, and NEFA concentrations were not affected (P > .10) by OKG supplementation in this experiment. In Exp. 3, pigs (5.8 kg and 20 d of age) were fed diets containing 0, .10, or .50% creatine. Creatine tended to linearly decrease ADG (P = .11) and plasma albumin (P = .12) and PUN (P < .10) concentrations in Phase II (d 12 to 26). In Exp. 4, 850 mg of OKG or 750 mg of creatine was provided daily by oral capsule to pigs 4 d before weaning to 2 d after weaning. Pigs within a litter received either no capsule or capsules containing OKG or creatine. After weaning, pigs that received no capsule before weaning received no treatment, .50% creatine, or .50% OKG in the nursery diet. Pigs that received OKG before weaning received no treatment or .50% OKG, and pigs that received creatine before weaning received no treatment or .50% creatine in the nursery diet. Pigs weighed 3.9 kg 4 d before weaning and 4.9 kg at weaning at an average age of 20 d. The OKG provided by capsule decreased ADG (P < .02) and ADFI (P < .09) during Phase II. The OKG did not affect (P > .10) plasma NEFA, glucose, or urea N concentrations. Creatine added to the nursery diet increased (P < .02) ADFI and decreased (P < .10) gain:feed during Phase II and overall. Creatine in the nursery diet also increased (P < .01) PUN, but it did not affect plasma glucose or NEFA concentrations. Creatine and OKG have variable effects on growth performance and plasma metabolites of nursery pigs.Journal of Animal Science 05/2000; 78(4):1022-8. · 1.92 Impact Factor

Dry spell hampers Swedes
Gothenburg's boys started strong against pre-season ranked Southern Valley Thursday night, frustrating the Eagles' big man and playing nearly point for point through the first half.
Unbeaten Southern Valley took advantage of a Swede dry spell in the third quarter, though, and went on to beat Gothenburg 49-40.
"I thought we made progress," coach Roger Koehler said of his team. "Overall, I was pleased with the way we played."
The Swedes were successful keeping 6-foot-9 Spencer Kucera from being much of a threat.
"Tanner (Borchardt) blocked his first shot and got in his head," Koehler said.
But Gothenburg didn't hold back Eagle guard Alex Kaup, who scored 10 of Southern Valley's 12 points in the first quarter.
Two Kaup shots were long-range three-pointers from 25 feet out or farther.
"Logan (Sheets) is a good defender but he just doesn't have the length," Koehler said. "And when the kid is throwing up shots from that far out, not too many teams are going to defend that."
Gothenburg led 13-12 at the end of the first period and stuck tight with the Eagles through the half.
The Swedes trailed 22-21 until Eagle junior Jeremiah Perkins hit a shot at the buzzer to put Gothenburg down 24-21 at the half.
Borchardt made a short jumper to start the second half about a minute into the third period and Gothenburg didn't put another point on the board until Blake Ristine scored with 2:12 left in the quarter.
"That's a lapse of about five minutes," Koehler said. "That's generally not going to work for anybody."
The Swedes had a solid fourth quarter but had to resort to the gamble with fouling.
Southern Valley made 12 of 15 free throws in the final 1:45 of the game.
Borchardt, a sophomore, finished with a double-double scoring 15 points and pulling down 11 rebounds, He also had four blocks in the game.
Senior Logan Koeher added 11 points and nine rebounds and three assists.

Brandon Graham's graphic novels are supernovae of imagination, and we doubt he'll stay under the radar for long. His graphic adventure King City follows catmaster Joe and his feline companion Earthling J. Catingsworth the Third as they navigate a seedy, far-future world. The book is packed with puzzles, wordplay, and yes, a cat trained to be any tool or weapon. Graham's more downbeat graphic novel Prophet tells the story of John Prophet, who wakes up from cryosleep ready to restart the Earth empire. Spoiler alert: humanity is not very easy to reboot.

I never hate people for their political beliefs. It's a free country and anyone is free to be an idiot by voting Republican. I just feel sorry for the people that do because they don't have a functioning brain — if they did they'd be Democrats.
[Exception made for extremely rich people: if your net wealth is measured in units of $100 million it's incredibly intelligent to vote Republican. But for anyone making less that $250,000 a year, the smart thing to do is vote for the D's.]
