Untangling pet nutrition in veterinary practice
Veterinarians are usually comfortable poking, prodding, analyzing, and diagnosing what comes out of pets. Sputum, pus, urine, or feces—it's all up for debate. But after receiving a few letters from veterinarians asking for nutrition information, we here at Veterinary Economics realized some of you weren't as comfortable judging what's best to go into pets when it comes to food. Dr. Craig Woloshyn, a Veterinary Economics Editorial Advisory Board member, urged us to recommend a back-to-basics approach to help practitioners: Do your own research. Look into the details of brands you recommend to clients. Dig back into those nutrition textbooks you had in school (or should have had). Clients follow the important nutrition guidance from veterinarians who are confident in their knowledge. You can find the story "Dig into pet nutrition" starting in this issue. If you've started getting more and more questions from clients about therapeutic diets, home-cooked meals, and organic food, it could be high time to carve out some self-learning or CE on the state of animal nutrition today. And speaking of bettering oneself, we're bettering our magazine this month in response to feedback we've received for decades: Why do we only see the big hospitals in these pages? Why can't we see greatness in every size of clinic? Starting with this issue, our monthly "Hospital design" feature has been transformed into a new column that will feature tips that any veterinarian can use for dreaming about, building, renovating, or refreshing their hospitals. Working to share hospital design wisdom with every practitioner is why the 2013 Veterinary Economics Hospital Design Conference at CVC Kansas City Aug. 21-23 features a special one-day remodel and renovation workship. And it's why the 2013 Veterinary Economics Hospital Design Competition (enter at http://dvm360.com/hoy) is likely to be the best ever.Brendan Howard, Editor |

If you don't feel fit, you will not be able to do the things you want to do, plus, you will end up feeling bad about yourself and your life. You don't have to let this happen to you just because you don't have the information you need to get started. Try one or more of the great tips in the article below. If you simply don't have the time to study, there are always courses in fitness and nutrition that you can take instead.
A good way to help you lose weight is to try your hand at rock climbing. Rock climbing is one of the hardest physical activities you can engage in. If you have the stomach for it, you'll be burning more calories than you can count, and you'll be fit in no time.
Do not rely on a fitness routine that requires extensive equipment. Putting all of one's faith in equipment-intensive exercise leaves one at the mercy of the equipment. The savvy fitness enthusiast will have a varied exercise program that includes plenty of exercises that can be performed without equipment. These exercises prevent a breakdown of one's overall fitness strategy when equipment is temporarily unavailable.
If you are a regular runner make sure that you replace your running trainers at least every 500 miles. If you don't replace your trainers when the soles have worn out, you will be running in an unstable trainer which could lead to knee injuries and ankle pain. A worn out shoe sole can also cause the bottoms of your feet to be covered in blisters and hard crusty callouses.
Now that you have some practical advice from the article above, there is no excuse to feel bad about yourself and your life because you don't feel fit. You can see that if you use these tips to get started now, you will not only feel better, you will look better, too.

text: Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Natalya Kraevsky began her piano and composition lessons at the age of four. She was admitted to a Special Music School for Gifted Children affiliated with St. Petersburg Conservatory, as one of the winners-recipients and later graduated from St. Petersburg Conservatory and was immediately engaged by the St. Petersburg National Opera Theater in leading roles to a sensational public acclaim; she also made numerous appearances on Russian National Television. Ms. Kraevsky was a scholarship winner of the Renata Scotto Academy for Young Singers, Ezio Pinza Council for American Singers, Chautauqua Summer Academy and Carnegie Mellon University. She worked with distinguished singers, conductors and stage directors: Renata Scotto, Claudia Pinza, Marlena Malas, Mimi Lerner, Cornelius Reid, Jakov Kreizberg, Robert Page, Jonathan Eaton, Coleman Pierce, Justus Frantz and many others. She was a regional finalist of the Metropolitan Opera National Council as well as prizewinner of numerous international vocal competitions. Natalya made her Carnegie Hall debut in Dvorak's Stabat Mater with the Oratorio Society of New York in May 2004 and following season returned to Carnegie Hall to perform Verdi Requiem, Mozart Coronation Mass, Faure Requiem, as well as Shostakovich's Seven Romances on Poems by Alexander Blok Past engagements include Don Giovanni in Padova, Mozart Concert Arias and Requiem concert tour in Netherlands, Beethoven's 9th Symphony with Yakov Kreizberg, at Concertgebow, Amsterdam, Mozart's Concert Arias and Mahler's 4th Symphony with the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra; Bach St. Matthew Passions with Thuringen Philharmonic under Alun Francis; Pergolesi Stabat Mater in Concergebouw, Rossini Stabat Mater; Mozart Requiem with Yasuhiko Daimon; Recitals in US,Schumann's Das Paradies Und Die Peri in New York; Dvorak Requiem in Netherlands; Gliere Concerto for voice and orchestra in Germany and Netherlands Ms. Kraevsky has received universal critical acclaim for her performances of Poulenc's La Voix Humaine, Liane in Sweethearts at Alice Tully Hall in New York, Gilbert and Sullivan highlights at Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center, as well as her electrifying portrayals of Donna Anna in Don Giovanni with Lyric Opera of Cleveland, Pamina in The Magic Flute with Opera Theater of Pittsburgh, the title role in the world premiere of the opera Hadassah by Pulitzer Prize nominated Norman Pepin and Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen with the Opera Theatre of Pittsburgh after which Pittsburgh Tribune-Review wrote of her performance: "The title role is brilliantly portrayed by Natalya Kraevsky. Her voice has that idiomatic timbre for the role, and she sings with winning inflections. Her skill at physical comedy is a special gift." "The biggest star was the young Russian soprano, she seemed to have endless amount of voice and space to act even in the highest registers. She was skilled, phrased with agility and expressed the text with her heart's blood…" wrote the critics of Ms. Kraevsky's performance in the Verdi Requiem opening the Mikkeli Festival,Finland. May 2011

Now there's hope for the cult shows, the ones the networks said not enough people watched, and canceled.
Now there's hope for adult shows, the ones the networks shied away from supporting for fear the morality police would make their lives miserable.
Now there's hope for programs that don't repeat well, and there's hope for shows taking political stands or espousing "unpopular" positions.
Pay-per-show is here. And it just might be TV's salvation as the medium forges into its swirling second half-century.
The deals have been coming fast and furious. ABC struck first Oct. 12, making available $1.99 episode downloads of hot hits "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives," plus Disney Channel tween faves, for portable viewing on Apple's new video iPod.
Last week, CBS and NBC jumped into the game. CBS plans to offer 99-cent aired episodes, including "CSI," "Survivor" and "The Amazing Race," for on-demand viewing by digital cable customers of Comcast, the nation's largest multisystem operator. NBC has allied with DirecTV's satellite service to offer "Law & Order" series, "The Office," "Monk," "Battlestar Galactica" and other of the week's shows to homes with the new DirecTV Plus digital recorder, through which viewers can "rent" an episode for 24 hours for 99 cents.
These announcements are just the first volley in what should become a wild war of video delivery platforms, formats, prices and options. Expect it to shake up network TV even more than when cable grew into a formidable competitor in original production.
"The Sopranos," anyone? Around-the-clock news? TV targeted specifically at kids, cooks, toon-heads, golfers or soap nuts? Those notions sounded crazy once, and not so long ago, either. Cable innovations such as CNN and ESPN are only 25 years old, and big-time scripted series such as "The Sopranos" have been around less than a decade.
Now it's time for the next step: where consumers drop their money not on a chosen channel such as HBO, but on specific series they want. While the networks recently agreed only to the per-episode purchase of existing hits -- to catch that "Survivor" twist you missed or study clues in "Lost" -- the real promise here is direct viewer support of programs themselves. And not through mass ratings that translate into ad rates, a system that's oblique at best and rewards such creatively indifferent attributes as "tonnage" (total eyeballs watching) and "demographics" (specific kinds of viewers).
Imagine being able to put your money specifically where your viewing passions are. "Farscape" fans bought trade paper ads last year, pleading for their beloved show's renewal after Sci Fi dropped it. Suppose they'd been able to pledge that money directly to the show itself. If a million devotees agreed to pay $1.99 per episode, that show could keep right on existing. Now FX isn't renewing its critically acclaimed Iraq war drama, "Over There," because the series couldn't build beyond its audience of 2 million. As a clearly saddened FX chief John Landgraf noted, "While we are passionately committed to fostering great television, we are an advertiser-supported nework, and the size of our audience is vital to our bottom line." But what if even half those viewers found "Over There" rewarding enough to pay for, directly? Especially with fewer or no commercial interruptions?
We just might see great TV expand and explode in all kinds of surprising ways. The pay-per-show model is something I've touted before, but from a sort of "Gee, I wish" attitude. Suddenly, it's real and burgeoning, thanks to digital cable's on-demand ease, the ability of cable/satellite to "push" programs directly onto homes' digital-video-recorder boxes, broadband's increasingly speedy downloads and a host of new personal/portable viewing devices.
A future era might let us subscribe to shows on a seasonal basis or test-drive pilot episodes. It could let us buy at a basic price that includes ads or a premium price to eliminate them. Episodes might be of flexible lengths, rather than trimmed or stretched to fit a specific time slot. There could even be G-rated versions for the easily offended and R-rated versions for more daring adults. Think of the music model, where new songs debut on the radio at the same time you can buy them in CD or MP3 form for listening however you want.
But I'm still dreaming, to some extent. The number of shows being offered in these new applications is seriously limited. All the series are owned by the network corporations that air them. Throw other studios into the mix, not to mention industry unions and other parties to the perceived proceeds, and a lot has to shake out before pay-per-show is widely possible.
The gates are open, though. The networks know their model has to adapt to today's more fragmented viewership, reduced rerun tolerance and commercial-skipping technology. Rather than dragging their heels and stubbornly clinging to old ways, the networks have just leaped into the cauldron of change. Let's follow 'em and see what bubbles up.

Please take this quick survey so we can better understand how Protected Planet is used.
XHey friend, could you provide us a wikipedia URL with a good description of this protected area?
Please, be sure that you are suggesting an english language wikipedia URL (http://en.wiki....)

Darién National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Darién) is a world heritage site in Panama. It is about 325 kilometers from Panama City, and is the most extensive of all national parks of Panama and is one of the most important world heritage sites in Central America.
The Darién National Park is a natural bridge spanning the two Americas.
In 1972 an area of 700,000 hectares (7,000 km2) became part of the Alto Darién Protection Forest. In 1980 the area was declared a National Park. In 1983 an area of 859,333 ha (8,593.33 km2) became a UNESCO biosphere reserve. The park covers 5,790 km2 (579,000 ha).
It is located in southernmost Panama in Darién province and its southern boundary extends along 90% of the Panama Colombian border. It lies between the Serranía del Darién range, which parallels the Caribbean Sea 16 km to the northeast, and the Pacific Ocean coast. It is adjacent to the Los Katios National Park in Colombia.
The Darien National Park has a myriad of habitats, ranging from rocky coastlines to sandy beaches to mangroves. The park also has expansive swamps and large areas of tropical forests.
Its most common species include macaw, parrot, and tapirs. The harpy eagle also calls this national park home. It is noted for its incredible genetic value. The park is home to regional endemic species and some that are so rare and endangered that they are on the IUCN Red List. These species include the Spotted Paca, Guatemalan Black Howler, Night Monkey, Black-headed Spider Monkey, Central American Agouti, American Crocodile and the Capybara.
The park is one of the few examples remaining in the world of a protected area inhabited by humans. To this day two Indian tribes dwell in the park.
Visitors will usually fly into El Real, the closest town to the park.

Aw, man! Your friends are throwing another costume party? I'd say it's time to get some new friends, but we both know that would take too much effort. The clock is ticking, and if you're even twenty seconds late to that party, you know your friends are going to judge you. They're punctuality fiends! It's the end of Ferris Bueller's Day Off all over again, except with a party! Also, there's no Cameron, so maybe the metaphor doesn't hold up – there's no time for metaphors!
Don't worry – I'm here to talk you through this. Costume parties don't have to be a pain. In fact, with the least effort conceivable, you could have the costume no one everyone is talking about!
Alright, it's crunch time. You have to leave for the party in five minutes, but it would take too much effort to grab more than one thing to bring with you for your costume. In fact, if your 'costume' barely qualifies as a meaningful costume to speak of, all the better! You want to wear something or carry some prop that says, "Yeah, I'm here for this thing. Stop trying to make me do stuff." A true mantra for the disaffected.
Let's look at some sample costume ideas and props. Try not to care too much – you don't want people to mistake your lack of effort for something methodical.
- Masks: The simpler, the better. You may be tempted to save money by cutting eye holes in a paper bag, but do not be fooled by this thought – do you really want people to know you cared enough about this costume to pick up scissors? Of course not. Besides, unless your eye holes are at least somewhat carefully aligned with your actual eyes, you'll probably end up bumping into things all night. Hilarious from an outside perspective – annoying in practice. People who don't care about things don't bump into things. Bumping into things is dangerously close to caring.
At any rate, a good idea for any mask is to party in costume as a non-specific serial killer who might have existed at some point, maybe – let's discourage people from looking things up on their smartphones and assure them that maybe your costume is edgy. The important thing is, you didn't have to try. Another good option is, "Children's entertainer who doesn't quite get what that's about."
- Clip-on Bow Tie: You've probably got one of these lying around somewhere. I mean, our parents all made us wear embarrassing things at one point or another growing up. You may as well take that youthful embarrassment and channel it into something more useful. Like a costume you didn't spend more than thirty seconds thinking up. Your parents would be proud.
"Change the channel!" That's what people will be thinking when you tell them you're dressed as a political pundit! "I'm for that thing! Or maybe I'm against it! I bet Hitler's involved in there somewhere! Possibly! Or maybe that's just halfhearted hyperbole." Alternatively, you could say you're a naive life insurance salesman and start chatting people up about what they planned to leave their loved ones after that inevitable untimely accident. Maybe throw in a joke about how there's no such thing as a 'timely' accident. You will rule the party.
- Plastic Pistols: Odds are, you've had one of these lying around since you were a kid. Who doesn't love gun imagery with an uncomfortable passion? Besides, when you're having heated arguments with your roomies, there's no better way to make a point than mimicking shooting them with a toy pistol. Passive aggression is the new straightforward communication! And a plastic pistol makes a mean costume prop.
Why not enter a party with a good, old-fashioned, "Oh hey, I'm Wall Street! Stick 'em up! No, seriously, I might not make rent this month. Money please." You'll all have a good laugh, and also quietly acknowledge the pathos of the joke, in recalling the quite desperation many people now live with. Exactly what you were at a party to forget about – way to bring down the whole room. Low effort to the rescue! Another good costume idea is to say you're a militia member, just waiting for "something to happen" so you can start shooting. That one should inspire just as much discomfort. Too cool to make an effort!
Remember that you've got to think abstract here. Challenge other people with your weird, vaguely-cleverly lazy costume, and make sure that nobody will ever be able to guess what you are at first glance. And if someone manages to somehow guess correctly, don't be afraid to change costume themes immediately to ensure that no one is ever right. These are vital tenets of the Way of the Minimum Effort Costume.
Now that you've got the idea, get out there and party! Party like a person committed to making a staple remover look menacing. You can do this.
