Guest blog by Louise Murray, DVM DACVIM, Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital and author of "Vet Confidential: An Insider's Guide to Protecting Your Pet's Health"
Diabetes is a real problem for cats in this country, but the good news is that we now have a much better understanding of this condition, and even better, we can cure it in many cases. Best of all, we are learning how to prevent it, which is the ideal strategy for a healthy, happy cat.
Cause: It's now believed that many cases of feline diabetes are caused by excess carbohydrates in the diet. Dry cat foods in particular can be high in carbohydrates. Cats are not designed to properly metabolize carbohydrates, and cats on dry food may become obese. Additionally, the excess of carbs forces the pancreas, the organ that produces insulin, to overwork. Over time, the pancreas can become exhausted, and lose the ability to make sufficient insulin. This lack of insulin causes diabetes.
Treatment: Most diabetic cats have not permanently lost the ability to produce insulin. In order to rest the pancreas and allow it to return to normal function, cats are given twice-daily insulin injections. It's essential to carefully regulate diabetes so the cat receives the proper amount of insulin to restore the function of the pancreas while avoiding low blood sugar, a potential side effect of insulin treatment.
The second essential component of treatment is the cat's diet. For the best chance of curing diabetes, most cats should eat a canned diet formulated for diabetes, or a canned kitten food. Be sure to consult with your veterinarian regarding the best diet for your own cat.
A note of caution: Cats who refuse to eat can become very ill. Any diet changes must be made cautiously, with careful monitoring of the appetite.
For optimal treatment of diabetic cats, it may be advisable to consult with a veterinary internal medicine specialist. We have two on staff at the ASPCA Animal Hospital: Dr. Pomrantz and Dr. Frank. To find a veterinary internist in your local area go to www.acvim.org.
Prevention: We all know that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." For diabetes prevention as well as urinary tract and digestive health, we advise feeding cats canned food in meals, rather than allowing them to graze on dry food. Just remember that when attempting to make any change in a cat's diet, such as from dry to canned food, patience and caution are essential. Never allow a cat to "hunger strike," which can cause serious illness.
For more information about keeping kitty healthy, or to make an appointment for your pet, please visit the ASPCA Animal Hospital.

Actually dry food is worse for teeth, contrary to popular belief. The refined carbohydrates (of which there are more in dry food) stick to pre-existing plaque and tartar very heavily. Dry food does not "knock" tartar off teeth, only the scraping action of teeth on hard surfaces like bones or hard chew toys can knock tartar off teeth. Dry food knocking tartar off teeth is like saying that eating cheetos knocks tartar off teeth. A good product for dental health is "Biotene Veterinary Water Addtivie" its an enzyme formula with no taste, that helps break down existing plaque and tartar. It contains no antiseptics or antibacterials like chlorhexadine (which some companies shockingly use in dental products -fyi animals should NOT be consuming antibacterials! its terrible for the liver). Cats can be finicky about tooth brushing, if they absolutely will not cooperate, you can just use a cloth to wipe the teeth down, this at least wipes off newly forming plaque and tartar.
My cat was diagnosed in January with diabetes. Her back legs weren't working well and I was told it was neuropathy due to the diabetes. After an expensive week at the vet with blood sugar level tests, the "prescription diet" they sold me, and the purchase of insulin (which is pricey!!) I began doing research. I switched my cat to a quality grain-free diet amd within a week or two she no longer needed insulin. (I give her primarily dry food, by the way.) Periodic checks of her blood sugar levels have been consistant AND the neuropathy disappeared after a couple of weeks. Perhaps we caught the diabetes earlier than I initially thought. Perhaps the cat was just lucky. But I'd recommend a grain-free diet for all cats now that I've seen health improvements in all my cats on the diet.
My Orange Tabby "Sherbert" is a sugar Kitty.
We are very blessed to have this special one. He was a rescue. He became huge. He was diagnosed last March. I know make my own cat food. I have a blog about this. with Resources, Recipes and such.
There was very little info available ablout this. I was running blind. But Sherby is now stabilized. He still is partially crippled, but he has adjusted quite well.
What is the link to your blog? I have a huge cat that is just getting bigger. I had him tested for just about everything but I don't think diabetes. I'm going to pursue.
1st quit getting tested at the vets. You can do home remedy and save a bunch of dollars.
Your cat is too fat.You need to give your cat hi protein lo carb diet.
Get rid of dry. Except as a treat. I started making mine rabbit pate using no nitrite bacon. I have a recipe on my blog.
I have a 17 year old cat that has been eating raw meat since we rescued him and he is the leanest and most fit cat of the 4 we have.
He does not get innoculations anymore. As a matter of fact after 10 yo they don't need them. You waste your money. I also went to craig's list for my insulin pens. I also give Sherby a b12-Methocobalin supplement for his neopathy.
You really have to have it inside you to care for these kinds of animals. If someone thinks brushing the cat's teeth is a pain then they should surrender it to someone who will dedicate the time. This disease affects the whole family. Sherbert gets 2 injections a day along with his supplement that he hates. It literally takes 2 people to give him it. Afterwards He gets 1 serving size of temptations. Wet pates are the best hi-protein. Use Canned. I smash the dry in a food processor and sprinkle it on top as a seasoning. The carbs are in the mass shape it is. Grind it up you bust up the carbs. No gravies or cheese.
I brush Sherbert's teeth 2 times a day.You can get a cheap pet brush at Walmart.
I have been a loving mother of 8 cats total. I currently have 3 who are 7 yrs. old and very healthy. All but 4 of the past 5 lived to be 14+ (my precious Emmi was a stray and a parasite took her life at 8 yrs.). Now I read that I should surrender my cats because I am unable to brush their teeth. Really, that's how you see it? You're awesome.
I forgot...not one of my cats lost teeth, had periodontal disease or diabetes. You should be a little more careful how you make harsh statements. Surrender is pretty drastic.
I can't believe how personal people take things. It's just a general statement. It takes alot for special needs anything. People too. I just stated that if you have a special need kitty and brushing his teeth just happens to be one of the things a person should do to help give a better quality of life then it's something to consider. If one does not want to take on the burdens that having a special need. then they should consider giving it to someone who can. I have seen alot of animals just either abandoned or euthanized because of the extra care and expense it takes. to care for a sick animal. Not everyone considers them their family. You should not be so quick to jump to defense. I have had many cats in my life all of them rescues and each has it's own issues. Orange tabbies are prone to more disease then other breeds. Not sure why but they are. None of my cats ever had dental issues. He doesn't now. But because he's on soft food diet the chance is better he would. So we brush his teeth. I lost 1 orange cat to leukemia and this one has diabetes. It's not a death sentence just alot more care involved. Just be prepared for the long haul. ]
Oh and because of your rudeness I can say you are awesome too.:)

Anthony Davis is going to be great along with Rivers, give them time. I say by year 3 when they have worked the rookie and sophomore kinks out, plus whatever trades and free agent pick ups by then, we will be a Western Finals Contenders! The crazy thing is Anderson is only 24!
our guys are not aggressive at all!!! They just pass it around the perimeter til clock is running low and whoever happens to have the ball at the time shoots. smh.. I wanna see davis demand the ball every dam time even if he don't get it. I wanna see rivers attack attack attack every dam time even if he misses it. However I do not wanna see vasquez,roberts,mason etc chuckin up shots shiiiiit
Finally Davis in the low post
I have come to the conclusion that Aminu doesn't care about playing basketball .. He's just out there. It's whatever to him .
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
Offense isn't really the problem. Defense is horrendous. Lee is playing with us.
I tell you what else. Lets play the raptors trash over our promising 2nd round pick
Lee does what he wants. You saw him try to do the backwards dunk earlier on. He will score 50
Solid half from Davis & Anderson.. Everybody else pretty much suck
see what happens when u create rivers?? do it every dam time!!! I dont care if u miss em just attempt them please!!!!
Embarrassing defense there
Who is Davis guarding?
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
Jen Hale just asked one of our assistant coaches "how are we gonna stop all of the points in the paint?".. his response , "I don't know." Lol
Wow! Davis still looks like my AAU players falling down and looking awkward. He really needs to get in the weight room in the offseason. I know he's only twenty, but it really looks funny in a NBA game.
I get so mad when we hang around games keeping it close. Knowing we have a max player/scorer on this team MIA..I hope that dude comes back and proves us all wrong cause I will be the 1st to eat crow and bow down to ej.

Ryno Benjamin scored four tries on the opening day of the Dubai Sevens as South Africa finished at the top of their pool.
The Sevens champs beat Australia 29-0 win to set up a quarter-final clash with Fiji. Benjamin scored a brace in the first half while captain Paul Delport rounded off a great period of play where South Africa displayed their great ball retention and innovative attacking skills.
At 19-0 down at half-time, the Aussies were dead and buried. Mzwandile Stick crashed over from close range early in second period, and added his second just a minute before the final whistle.
In their second pool match, Chase Minnaar scored a brace in South Africa's six-try demolition of the Arabian Gulf. The Bok Sevens outfit emerged 36-7 victors in their second pool match where they were dominant across all facets of play. Minnaar showcased his speed and skill to beat the defence for South Africa's first try, a score which was quickly followed by a five-pointer for Delport.
Their strength at the breakdown, where Kyle Brown was particularly prominent, resulted in a number of penalties. Delport's vision and acceleration helped the Boks immensely, as he spun a long pass to MJ Mentz who in turn found Benjamin for South Africa's third try.
Neil Powell and Brown got on the scoreboard while Minnaar added his second to round off some sparkling interplay. Arabian Gulf were denied by some fantastic defence early in the match, but Marcus Smith did manage to crash over for a consolation score right at the death.
In South Africa's first match on Friday, the Blitzboks began their defence of the Dubai title with a 28-14 victory over Wales.
Benjamin opened the scoring when Delport opted for a tap penalty. Delport was involved again just a moment later when he intercepted a Welsh pass and cantered over the tryline.
Mpho Mbiyozo bashed his way through some feeble tackle-attempts to extend South Africa's lead, but Wales scored an important try through Alex Cuthbert right on half-time.
The Blitzboks were far less clinical in the second period, spilling the ball in contact on a couple of occasions when they had the tryline at their mercy. Cuthbert sparked Wales' second try when he sprinted down the touchline and found Lloyd Williams for the finish.
Wales attempted to level the scores in the dying seconds, but Stick turned defence into attack when he beneffited from a loose Welsh pass. Stick chipped and had the pace and skill to beat the cover defence for the regather as South Africa finished a mediocre second-half with a flourish.

Comments about SRAM Apex Road Shift/Brake Lever Set:
These are great entry level shifters with plenty of trickle down technology from its bigger brothers in Sram's line up. They have zero loss technology in the front shifter but not in the rear (only Sram's rear derailleur has sero loss). I also really like Sram's doubletap shifting. It makes transitioning between the small and large chainring really easy since you can shift up or down three gears at a time in the rear. Being apex, they are the heaviest shifters in Sram's line up but only 24 grams more than the Rivals.

Q:Do you have to use them in a bath or can they be used in the shower? I just got a few different types and would love to use them in my shower since I don't take a bath e wry day..Asked on 1/1/2015 by Cheley from New jersey

A:Hi there! Thanks for the question! Rose Queen is a bath bomb and might not work as well in the shower compared to a bath!Answered on 1/2/2015 by Anonymous
A:They're obviously easiest to use in the bath, but I don't see anything wrong with using them in shower and rubbing them on your skin. This bath bomb smells like roses and leaves your skin soft and smelling great. May as well give it a try. Get the bath bomb a bit moist and rub it into your skin.

A:I don't think it would work the same. When you take a bath you sir in the
water that the lush has dissolved into and it can soak into your body. In a
shower it washes right down the drain. I'm sure it would still smell
amazing though!Answered on 1/1/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Is this the same excat smell as Rose Jam? And if its different can u please explain. I have found I love the other Rose products but not Rose Jam and the bath-body Conditior a0-ROSEAsked on 8/13/2014 by lush 4 life from fredericksburg V.A.
2 answers
A:No, it's more of a traditional rose scent. For Rose Jam, try our Rose Jam bubbleroon!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:No, this scent is a purer/truer rose smell than the Rose Jam. When I used this bath bomb it was as though I was enveloped inside a real fresh rose. Just delightful. I wish I would have ordered two and used them both at once for extra super rosiness. I came out of the bath smelling incredible. Totally a thumbs up! Get yourself some!Answered on 8/14/2014 by Anonymous

Excellent rental place!
My mother and I stayed several days at this wonderful house. We've been renting different places for years and this was, by far, the most economical, cleanest and well furnished place that we've ever stayed at! The house, grounds and furniture were all in excellent shape! The lake is great for fishing, boating, paddle boating and swimming. My elderly Golden Retriever swam every day and my Shetland Sheepdog puppy loved the yard for running and playing. It was peaceful and quiet which is exactly what we were looking for; however, there are several 'tourist' towns within 50 miles if you want to go out for the day or find a tasty restaurant. We especially enjoyed listening to the loons and watching the local geese family on the lake. The sunsets are also amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Windfall Lake retreat and plan on visiting it again in the future! KAT from TN

You can also parse XML documents using namespaces:
XmlSlurper has a declareNamespace method which takes a Map of prefix to URI mappings. You declare the namespaces and just use the prefixes in the GPath expression.
Some remarks:
- name or "*:name" matches an element named "name" irrespective of the namespace it's in (i.e. this is the default mode of operation)
- ":name" matches an element named "name" only id the element is not in a namespace
- "prefix:name" matches an element names "name" only if it is in the namespace identified by the prefix "prefix" (and the prefix to namespace mapping was defined by a previous call to declareNamespace)
You can generate namespaced elements in StreamingMarkupBuilder very easily:

A finger sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments that support the small joints of the finger. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other.
A finger sprain usually results from a blow to the finger causing the finger to bend too much or in the wrong direction. This often occurs during athletic activity when an athlete jams a finger into another person, the ball, or piece of equipment. Finger sprains may also occur in other situations, such as falling on the hand..
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting an injury. Risk factors for a finger sprain may include:
- Playing sports, especially those involving the hands, such as basketball or volleyball
- Poor coordination or balance
- Weak ligaments
Symptoms include:
- Pain and tenderness in the finger
- Pain when moving the finger joint
- Swelling of the finger joint
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and how you injured your finger. The doctor will examine your finger to assess the stability of the joint and the severity of the injury.
Tests may include:
- X-rays —to make sure that no bones are broken
- MRI scan —used in some situations to see if a ligament has torn completely (rarely needed)
Finger sprains are graded according to their severity:
Grade 1
- Stretching and microtearing of ligament tissue
- Stable joint
Grade 2
- Partial tearing of ligament tissue
- Mild instability of the joint
Grade 3
- Severe or complete tearing of ligament tissue
- Significant instability of the joint
In consultation with your doctor, treatment may include:
Avoid using the injured finger.
Apply ice or a cold pack to your finger for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for several days or until the pain and swelling goes away. Ice helps to reduce pain and swelling in the sprained finger. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin.
Wrap an elastic compression bandage around your finger. This will limit swelling and support your finger. Be careful not to wrap too tightly because it can cut off the circulation to your finger.
Try to hold the injured hand above the level of your heart as much as possible for the first several days or until the swelling goes down. This will help drain fluid and reduce swelling.
The doctor may recommend:
- Over-the-counter pain medicine (such as, ibuprofen , naproxen , acetaminophen , aspirin )
- Topical pain medicines (such as cream or patches) that are applied to the skin
- Prescription pain medicine
Splinting and Taping
You may need to wear a splint to immobilize your finger. If you play sports, you may need to tape your finger to the finger next to it when you return to play. Your doctor can show you how to splint or tape your finger.
Surgery may be needed to repair a finger sprain if:
- A small piece of bone has been broken off by the injury to the ligament.
- A ligament is torn completely.
If you are diagnosed with a finger sprain, follow your doctor's instructions .
If you are diagnosed with a finger sprain, follow your doctor's instructions .
You can reduce your risk of getting a finger sprain by learning and practicing correct technique in sports and using proper equipment. However, in many cases, sprains cannot be prevented.

Kristen Daughtridge likes taking on the pressure of having the softball in her hands nearly every inning.
The junior is New Bern's ace — a three-year starting pitcher for the Bears.
"It's my favorite position. That's why I do it," Daughtridge said.
The Bears are entering their final stretch of regular with five regular-season conference games remaining.
Unlike last season, Daughtridge is hoping to push New Bern back into the state playoffs.
The Bears (8-9 overall, 2-3 Mideastern) are sitting in third place of the Mideastern Conference standings behind Wilmington Ashley (11-5, 5-0) and Wilmington Laney (8-7, 3-1).
The right arm of Daughtridge could determine how far they go.
"I try to dominate and do the best for myself and the team," Daughtridge said. "The less hits that are made, the less chances people can get on base.
"This year, I'm more comfortable and confident with the people behind me."
Daughtridge has an earned run average of 2.48. She has nearly 50 strikeouts.
More importantly, she has improved from her previous two seasons.
"I think I am doing better than I have in the past couple of years," Daughtridge said. "I am still not to where I want to be. I want to continue to get faster and continue improving my pitches."
Daughtridge consistently throws a fastball, change-up and drop ball, while fiddling with a curveball and screw ball.
She plays travel softball for a local team during the offseason — the Sugar Canes.
"I've been working on my pitching a lot," she said. "I do a lot of pitching lessons and I always have to practice. I don't get much of an offseason."
New Bern's workhorse struck out a season-high 11 batters in a 4-0 win over Wilmington Hoggard on April 9. She fanned 10 Havelock hitters in early March.
"I think that's the most I've had in a while," Daughtridge said. "I felt really motivated with my team behind me. I felt like I could just pitch the ball and everything would be fine.
"Even if they did hit it, it would be OK because we were going to get them out."
Daughtridge, who hasn't batted much prior to this season, is hitting .200 with eight base hits and four runs batted in.
She is working on becoming a complete player.
"I've have not done too well the past two years, as far as hitting goes," Daughtridge said. "I got a new bat, so that's helped.
"I've been working on my hitting a little bit more. I use to practice pitching several times a week and hitting has come last."
The last time New Bern reached the postseason, it won six games in 2011 and lost to Jack Britt, 23-0 in the first round.
Daughtridge was only a freshman.
This year, as a more experienced pitcher, Daughtridge believes New Bern can make some noise.
"Our attitudes, as a whole, are more positive," she said. "We are working on things we need to be working on. We have productive practices.
"We've bonded as a team and I am a lot more comfortable out there. Everybody is supporting me and that's what's helped me the most."
New Bern hosts West Craven on Thursday and New Hanover on Friday.

text: My tax-deferred accounts are bond funds only (TIPS and Total Bond), since about half of my portfolio is taxable. I'm considering converting enough of the Total Bond to one of the Short-term funds to cover two or three years of RMDs, assuming that rates will go up and NAVs will go down sometime before too long. Is this a good idea? Would you do it now, or hold off? If you recommend holding off, what would make you decide to do it?

Saru bosses will this week review Peter de Villiers' tenure as Springbok coach. MARK KEOHANE, writing in Business Day Sport Monthly, looks at what they might find.
Go to Google and type in the name of Springbok coach Peter de Villiers. What you find are ramblings and articles and sites dedicated to the man's quote hall of fame.
I went in search of the rugby talk behind the man: his philosophy and his views of the game. I looked for his reasoning when his team won and rugby talk about why they lost. I looked for reasons to justify why he is a rugby coach and good enough to be the coach of world champions.
I found nothing of substance about Peter de Villiers and rugby.
There is only a list of laughable quotes, compiled by every Neville Nobody of the blogging world, and every leading newspaper in the rugby world.
Victories and defeats define most coaches. Comedy defines De Villiers, whom the Australasian rugby media called part-time coach and full-time comedian.
The Sydney Morning Herald's chief rugby writer Greg Growden wrote that De Villiers was to rugby what Richard Pryor was to comedy – the word hilarious was used, not the word inspirational.
I wanted to reflect De Villiers' rugby insights to the defeats and his analysis of the victories of 2009 that followed the losses of 2008 and 2010. What I got were accusations of conspiracy, referee bias and the absolute disbelief that his team ever loses. The more he watches the match tape, he said, the more he doesn't know how his team lost.
In reflecting on finishing last in the 2010 Tri-Nations, De Villiers said there was nothing wrong with his team selections, his use of substitutions or a defensive system that conceded 22 tries in six Tri-Nations Tests.
He also did not see any reason for concern that the Boks had lost eight of their past 11 Tests to Australia, New Zealand, France and Ireland.
Everything was looking good for a successful defence of the World Cup in New Zealand next year. Instead of rugby talk, this is the internet script on De Villiers the Bok coach.
'If we want to eye-gouge any Lions we will go down to the bushveld like we do and eye-gouge them there.'
When the British and Irish media asked De Villiers how he could justify eye-gouging, he responded: 'If we are going on like this, why don't we go to the nearest ballet shop, get some tutus and get a dancing shop going? There will be no eye-gouging, no tackling, no nothing and we will enjoy it.'
Other quotes, as listed on sarugbyblog.com and several other sites, included: 'What we try to tell them is when you point your finger into the sky, don't concentrate on the finger because you'll miss all the heavenly glory out there. Concentrate on the heavenly glory you can bring and make yourselves so fulfilled.'
When asked to explain a Bok defeat, he responded: 'There's little difference between winning and losing, except you feel better after winning.'
When asked to explain his culpability as coach, he went one better than urging his players to look beyond their fingers when pointing to the sky. He said: 'The same people who threw their robes on the ground when Jesus rode on a donkey were the same people who crowned him and hit him with sticks, and were the same people who said afterwards how we shouldn't have done that, he's the son of God. So that's exactly what we do. You have to look at history as repeating itself. And I'm not saying that I'm God.'
When criticised for a lack of coaching pedigree he retorted: 'I'm a God-given talent, I'm the best I can ever be. So what you think doesn't bother me. I know what I am and I don't give a damn.'
When asked if he would do anything different after losing: 'I won't change my style, if I change my style I will change Peter de Villiers, and then I would have to tell God that he made a mistake when he made me.'
When asked what his style was, he said: 'People say we want to play a Peter de Villiers style of rugby. What the devil is that? Let me explain it to you. There was a time when we were isolated [due to apartheid] but when we came back what we didn't do was look at where we were strong. Instead we copied the model of the Australians and became more structured. We thought that was the only model available.
'We just need to add a component to our game. We need players making decisions and playing the situation. It's been very difficult [to implement this way of thinking]. Players are so used to playing on to each other, it's a new thing to be making split-second decisions. With this kind of game comes responsibility. I know it's hard [for the players] because they then have to take responsibility for what they do. But whatever decision they make, I will support the players even though I won't always agree with that decision. We didn't say we will [sic] win or lose.
According to De Villiers no team can control winning and losing, but before the Welsh Test in Cardiff earlier this year he rubbished Welsh talk that the Boks were vulnerable because he had not selected several first-choice players. He told the Welsh: 'We will give them a psychological advantage and we cannot allow that. We've read in the papers here that they believe South Africa are ripe for the picking. They're comparing us with some fruit from a Welsh fruit farm but they need to know that when you pick fruit, it isn't just apples and pears; there are prickly pears as well. We want to be a prickly pear for them this Saturday.'
In keeping with fruit, this was his response to winning the Tri-Nations in 2009: 'We are very organised at the moment, we don't want to become a fruit salad.'
In 2010, however, the Boks were the fruit salad he wanted to avoid, although De Villiers felt there was a referee conspiracy and that the world had turned on his Boks because they were so good.
He said: 'Speaking to IRB referees boss Paddy O' Brien is a complete waste of time … People don't want to see other teams being successful. That is my biggest problem at the moment. We can't go public about certain things because we don't have all the evidence, but the body language of certain officials when things went against us in that game made us worry … The officials were so happy when decisions went against us on the day. I am talking about the No 1 rugby team in the world. Shouldn't they really get the other guys to that level? … Or do they want to break things down so that the game can become mediocre and everyone has a chance to win it? We don't want to dwell on that point, but if that is the case, then I feel I am wasting my time by talking to them. I will then have to reconsider talking to them.'
De Villiers has consistently remained defiant and never felt the need to be anything but himself, as he put it. 'I've got a job to do.
I think I'm a strong individual, a strong character. I don't care what people think about me, I don't care what people say about me. It's what I think about me and myself – and I love myself a lot.'
But when former All Blacks and New Zealand Maori prop Craig Dowd called him a puppet De Villiers demanded an apology and accused Dowd of being racist.
A year later former Australian hooker Brendan Cannon called De Villiers a clown. The Springboks and De Villiers demanded an apology from Cannon, saying the word 'clown' had no place in rugby.
A week later De Villiers, in his column on the official Saru website, wrote that when a Bok coach wins he is superman and when he loses he is a clown.
On beating the All Blacks in 2009 he said: 'We went wild, wild wild – and some of the guys went wilder than that.'
When commenting on why the Boks lost two consecutive Tests to New Zealand in 2010 he accused the opposition of cheating at the ruck.
'I do not like to prepare guys to cheat and it seems to me to be the only way forward if you want to be on top of those kind of things, and that's 70% of our game.'
De Villiers, when he succeeded Jake White, said his philosophy of life was that even the bad days were good days, and in the past three years his belief is that there have only been good days.
When questioned about the good days that came with hardship, he again referred to the Bible. 'If you see how Joseph got out of the pit and ended up in the palace, but between the pit and the palace there was a moerse lot of kak.'
De Villiers, whether he cares to admit it, is in the pit once again. Just when he thought he had made it to rugby's palace in 2009, he's back where he was in 2008, taking a beating from New Zealand and Australia.
He remains undeterred, telling the media, the South African public and his employers that he is on track for the World Cup and he can't understand the panic.
As one blogger so aptly asked, is De Villiers a misunderstood genius or a clown? To which another blogger so aptly responded: 'The King is Dead; long live the Clown.'

Muya Ethiopia Handweavers
by Cathleen Falsani
Muya Ethiopia was founded in 2005 by entrepreneurial fashion designer Sara Abera. Her objective is to introduce the rest of the world to the rich heritage of traditional Ethiopian weaving, while incorporating modern textiles and fashion tastes.
Sara Abera also wanted to bring together and retrain Ethiopian weavers and craftsmen, so they could work in improved conditions and eventually find higher-value markets for their handmade products. In fact, the word "Muya" means "talent" in Ge'ez, Ethiopia's ecclesiastical tongue which gave birth to Amharic Script.
Muya Ethiopia's socially-responsible business model has earned it the distinction of being the first Ethiopian company to obtain highly-coveted International Fair Trade Association membership.
Currently, the company operates from its compound at Sidist Kilo, employing well over 150 people, mostly weavers. A similar, larger site is now under construction, so that a further 600 weavers and potters can join the business over the next five years.
The audio you hear is one of the Muya workers, singing as she spun cotton into thread last month in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

X Series JAWS CC Slate Wedges
Product Overview
Engineered by Callaway Chief Designer Roger Cleveland, the X Series Jaws CC Wedges feature the new Tour CC Grooves that meet the Condition of Competition on Tour, currently the only place they are required for play. Callaway's proprietary groove pattern produces enhanced spin, even under the new USGA regulations. The C-Grind Sole and classic head design ensure versatility for the short game while providing Tour-level feel from soft forged 1020 carbon steel construction.
- Designed by Roger Cleveland: Created by Callaway Chief Designer Roger Cleveland the X Series Jaws CC Wedges feature the industry-leading Tour CC Grooves. Available only on Callaway's Forged products, this proprietary groove pattern packs up to 40% more grooves onto the clubface. Testing has shown these grooves generate the most spin on shots out of the rough when compared with other manufacturers.
- Tour CC Grooves: 21 tightly spaced grooves with sharper edges due to the superior Triple Net Forging process provide the maximum conforming area capacity, providing the highest levels of spin and control out of the rough when compared to other club manufacturers.
- Versatility for Precision Shot-Making: The unique grind options have been designed to work with each clubhead's loft and bounce angle for consistent turf interaction. The C-Grind® sole, found on higher bounce offerings, enables golfers to lay the face open while keeping the leading edge down – allowing for more bounce without compromising playability. This design relieves the heel, toe and trailing edge, resulting in a 'C' shape on the sole.
- Soft Feel and Feedback: The high-grade forged 1020 carbon steel provides better feel and feedback around the greens. A unique Triple Net Forging process allows Callaway to design grooves that generate more spin and control around the greens.
- Finish and Shaft Options: The extensive lineup includes lofts available in either a Slate or Brushed Chrome finish and True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 steel shafts or Fujikura 85 ST graphite shafts. *Slate finish will rust over time.

DARKE COUNTY - The Board of Directors for The Great Darke County Fair recently issued a press release about the fire that took place on Dec. 27, 2013 in an effort to stem the amount of misinformation circulating in the community.
Currently, the State Fire Marshall's Office and insurance company investigations are ongoing and incomplete regarding the fire at the Darke County Fairgrounds that affected the 60 foot by 240 foot Beef Palace; the 60 foot by 240 foot Dairy Palace; the 50 foot by 50 foot connector and the 12 foot by 20 foot Cattle Office. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
These areas remain closed and cannot be accessed until the aforementioned agencies grant permission to do so.
On Friday, the fair board was informed that the company providing the structure insurance on the buildings had declared the structures a total loss. The total insured replacement value of the affected structures is $959,653.00.
The fair board wants to assure 2014 exhibitors and fair-goers that the cattle shows will take place at the north end of the fairgrounds during the 2014 fair.
A moderated, time limited public comment forum has been scheduled for Thurs., Jan. 30 in the Youth Building where the general public can provide moderated, time limited public comment from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Junior Fair members only can provide moderated, time limited public comment from 5 to 6 p.m. earlier in the day.
The fair board's next step is to set a group examination date for the fire damaged area with respect to the area of origin so that all interested, affected insurance parties can be present for full visibility and openness. This event will take place between Jan. 30 and Feb. 7.
Based on Ohio Revised Code, when the initial investigation is complete the structure insurance carrier will forward a check for the actual cash value of the structures to the Darke County commissioners for distribution to the fair board. The fair board has 24 months from the date of loss to replace the structures. The fair board shall submit the winning replacement bid to the Darke County commissioners. The Darke County commissioners will submit the bid to structure insurance carrier for evaluation for like/kind/quality. Once the evaluation is complete and barring any exclusions, the structure insurance carrier will send a check to the Darke County commissioners for the depreciation left out of the actual cash value payment.
Per ORC 1711.24, "The board of county commissioners of a county in which there is a county agricultural society shall insure the buildings on the grounds of such society for the benefit of such society".
The fair board will now prepare a demolition request for proposal and send them out to prospective bidders once the fair board is given permission to access the affected areas. Per the policy with the structure insurance carrier, demolition and debris removal is an extra expense covered. Demolition and debris removal is in addition to the actual cash value and depreciation payments. The fair board will need to submit the winning demo/cleanup bid to the Darke County commissioners for submission to the structure insurance carrier.
Further information regarding the public comment forum will be available no later than Monday.

This cradle secured Baker, a female squirrel monkey, in her biocapsule during the first flight to recover a primate from space. On May 28, 1959, an Army Ballistic Missile Agency Jupiter rocket at Cape Canaveral launched Baker and Able (a female rhesus monkey housed in a separate capsule) in its nose cone. Their biomedical condition was monitored throughout the flight as part of Department of Defense experiments to determine the effects of spaceflight on living animals. They reached an altitude of approximately 300 miles, a maximum speed of 10,000 mph, and were recovered alive some 1,500 miles downrange by U.S. Navy ships. The flight provided important biomedical data for the human spaceflight program. The cradle was built by the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, which transferred it to NASM in 1960.

White Baldy Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Traverse from Pfeiff
Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2011
|Came across after hiking Pfeifferhorn. Probably could have picked better lines through the boulders on the West side but still made it fine. Stumbled on a goat; surprised that he let me get that close, I certainly wasn't being quiet.
Had planned on continuing to Red Baldy but had to abort due to time constraints. Fun glissading down to the Red Pine lakes.
|Posted Jul 21, 2011 10:26 am
|White Baldy
|Twice. My favorite scramble in the Wasatch. North face is an outdoor playground. Upper Red Pine lake is a gem.

|Red/White, Red/White
Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2010
|Climbed the north ridge from upper red pine lake. Fun 4th class. Descended the east ridge over to Red Baldy. The east ridge can be precarious, stay to the north side of the ridge for the easiest terrain.

|Not the East Face
Date Climbed: Feb 1, 2009
|Approached the East Face with dunsum intending to climb a nice mixed rock and snow/ice route up the steep stuff. Awful sugar snow made it almost impossible to get established on the face, so we traversed off left after a couple of hundred feet and summited via the more mellow ridge.
|Posted Feb 5, 2010 3:35 am
|Interesting peak
Date Climbed: Nov 7, 2009
|11/7/2009 Challenging hike due to conditions as the snow obscured the BIG holes between the gigantic boulders in the vicinity of Upper Red Pine Lake.
10/5/2003 With Joyce H.
5/21/2003 It's much better to do this one in the spring than fall.

|Silver Lake trail to east ridge.
Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2009
|A long day hike from Silver Lake Flat. Saw lots of wildlife, a moose, deer, wild grouse, beavers and a mountain goat. There is a nice spring still running this late in the year just above Silver Lake Glance to drink from on the way up and back. An exciting and challenging scramble from the east ridge. The only sketchy section being a very steep chute of loose rock and dirt near the top of the east ridge before the route veers northerly towards the true summit.
|Posted Sep 9, 2009 12:16 am
|E Ridge
Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2009
|Went up the E Ridge with a goodly amount of snow remaining from 9800' on up in White Pine basin. I descended the NW face through a maze of large boulders until finding several hundred feet of snow to glissade.
|Posted Jul 4, 2009 11:22 pm
|Traverse of White Baldy
Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2007
|The summit area and east ridge were loads of fun. Traversed from Pfeifferhorn on my way over to Red Baldy. Pics and map at http://www.willhiteweb.com/wasatch/pfeifferhorn/little_matterhorn_196.htm
|Posted Jun 18, 2009 5:26 pm
Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2009
|June 6, 2009 Climbed up the NW face directly below the true summit. Wandered to the east over to the false summit, then west to the true summit and down the otherside en route to Red Baldy as part of the Red/White/Red/White hike.
|Posted Jun 6, 2009 11:46 pm
|Ski mountaineering: North Ridge
Date Climbed: May 3, 2009
|Summited as part of an arduous ski mountaineering day. Started from White Pine TR at 8:15, skied into White Pine fork and trended NW until I switchbacked up to the N Ridge. Eventually the skis came off and I booted it up the ridge to the summit.
Was socked in the whole day, causing me to accidentally descend a ridgeline to the south rather than the east...turned into a seven-hour epic with a bonus ascent of Red Baldy.
|Posted May 4, 2009 1:40 am
|Mutiple routes and climbs
Date Climbed: Aug 11, 1995
|I usually do this peak in combination with Red Baldy, I've done well over a dozen climbs. I have lead a hike for the WMC called Red White Red White, about 10 times going up Red Pine to White Baldy, to Red Baldy and Down White Pine. I also have a White Red Silver Combo, climbing the South West Ridge via the Silver Flats area traversing to Red and the descending past Silver Glance and Silver Lakes, I've done that route twice.
|Posted Dec 1, 2008 1:32 pm
|Forgot to bring map
Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2007
|Ascended via Red Pine lakes in beautiful weather. I attempted to traverse to Red Baldy and out via White Pine, but I neglected to study the route beforehand, and couldn't find a viable way down without getting cliffed out. Fun!

|Springtime Fun
Date Climbed: May 31, 2008
|5/30/09 Went back and ascended the line I glissaded last year. It was as fun as I thought it would be. I continued on to Red Baldy and down White Pine. That ridge is quite the scramble, made more interesting by the spring snow.
5/31/08 What a great climb. The high snow year made for tons of snow still in upper Red Pine. This was a very beautiful sight. We ascended the west ridge, and I picked a glissade line down the north face just west of the summit. The line I picked might make a fun spring ascent line as well.

|First Time
Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2007
|Climbed as part of the Bullion Traverse. Started at White Pine TH. Up white pine to White Baldy, Red Baldy, Red Top Mtn, American Fork East, West, and South Peak, Hidden Peak, Mt. Baldy, Sugarloaf, then down to Alta.
|Posted Sep 15, 2007 4:52 pm
|Bullion Divide
Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2007
|This was my first time climbing White Baldy even though I have been near the mountain several times. I went up the Northeast Ridge and descended the West Ridge. I really like the scrambling on this peak. White Baldy is just as interesting as the Pfiefferhorn but is climbed less often.
|Posted Sep 3, 2007 1:45 pm
|Part of Bullion Divide
Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2007
|The ridge between red and white baldy was really fun as was the north ridge to upper red pine lake that we took down. Excellent views. Definitely an under appreciated peak.
|Posted Aug 14, 2007 3:15 pm
|Various routes
Date Climbed: May 31, 2011
|My 2nd time at the summit. With Brent and Lana leading out, we reached the summit in 2+40 (7-17-07). This was part of our Red White Red White climb. So we scrambled the ridgeline over to Red Baldy, then found a route down to White Pine. This entire exercise took us 7+30. A really great hike. My 3rd time on the summit was the result of a trek from the Granite Flats Campground, up to the top of Box Elder Peak, and then north along the entire ridgeline to the summit of White Baldy. It took Brent, Kim, Lana and me 7 hours to reach the White Baldy summit. That ridgeline is a classic. 5-13-08 4th time was a snow climb in combination with a summiting of Pfeifferhorn. From the summit of the Pfeiff to the summit of White Baldy was 2+30. This entire exercise took 10+45 from White Pine TH and back. Fabulous snow conditions for May 13th. 5th time (6-14-08) was a repeat of the Red/White/Red/White climb which adds Red Baldy and a descent to below White Pine lake. A WMC hike led by Lana, it took 8+25 and was fabulous to the max because of excellent consoidated snow conditions and a bluebird day. #6 6-22-10 W/ Dave. Bullion Divide in reverse to Snowbird Tram. 3 hrs to White Baldy summit, 9 total hours to the tram. Excellent snow when it was there! #7 5-31-11 W/ Dave & Christine. Record snowpack, 17" fresh, driving winds lifting spindrift to unbelievable heights above the ridges. #8 6-11-11 W/ Sharon, Bob, Dennis & Glen for WMC RWRW. 3+59 up. #9 5-5-12 Ein wunderbarer Weg, Cinco de Mayo zu feiern! Perfect consolidated snow on the western slope above Upper Red Pine Lake. #10 5-29-12 W/ Dave Prep hike for WMC RWRW. Crampons, ice ax up the entire west slope! Bluebird day. #11 6-8-13 WMC annual RWRW with excellent snow almost all the way to the top. #12 6-5-14 Prep hike for the RWRW. Consolidated snow from the Maybird Bridge area. Bluebird day and bigtime IVD. 3+06 up. #12 6-7-14 WMC annual RWRW; fine group but missing ONE!
|Posted Jul 17, 2007 7:18 pm
|Fun scramble
Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2007
|Did this solo. *Great* fun! I walked up to Red Pine then scrambled up onto the ridge between Red Pine and White Pine, gaining the ridgeline probably just above the 11,000 ft contour. Some moves were real attention-getters. I saw several goat wallows along the way. Had a brief stare-down with one of the goats just short of the ridge. I wish I could move over rough terrain the way they do!
Awesome views from the summit. I particularly enjoyed the views of Timp. I'm relatively new to the SLC area, and this was a great summit for helping me figure out where stuff is.

A Tree which stands in a Lake District wood is the tallest in Cumbria and could be the largest in the North West.
The 57.8-metre giant grand fir in Skelghyll Wood, Ambleside, has also been recorded as the tallest of its species in England, breaking the previous Cumbrian record of 55 metres, which was held by a conifer at Thirlmere.
National Trust ranger John Pring got the idea to get the tree measured and recorded by the National Tree Register charity when driving through Ambleside.
He said: "I've driven on that main road (A591) in Ambleside for a long time and I just thought: 'That really is a very big tree, I wonder how big it is? We were surprised just how tall it was when we measured it. There are some very big trees in the area but we didn't realise how tall it actually was. This is just one of the thousands of big old trees the National Trust looks after in the area."
Mr Pring, who has covered Windermere and Ambleside for 20 years, is now encouraging nature lovers to go to Skelghyll Wood and see the true scale of how tall the trees are for themselves and the grand fir, which was planted in 1860, looks set to continue growing and could push the 60-metre mark unless there are any accidents such as a storm blowing it over.
The tree was measured by tree climbers Mark Sigrift and Mick Lupton of Aspen Tree Management in Witherslack by dropping a long tape measure and using a badminton pole to attach a tape measure. "It just shows that the tree is happy with the climate there," said Mr Pring. It's only 160 years old so it is still growing."
David Gill, who runs the multi -award winning South Lakes Wild Animal Park, at Dalton-in-Furness, has accused Barrow Borough Council of 'stifling' entrepreneurial spirit in the Furness area.
He believes his project would – * create 45 new jobs * bring elephants and 'big cats' such as jaguars to the park for the first time * improve housing for existing animals * add a children's farm * revamp visitor facilities, including a large car park and a new steam train to take visitors around the park Mr Gill is frustrated that the council has not ruled on his planning application after a year – although it is minded to reject it.
Now he has asked the Government's planning inspectorate to intervene and make a decision.
The borough council's planning committee believes the project would be an over-development of a greenfield site and cause traffic problems for residents of Melton Terrace, off the A590, where the new entrance would be located.
And it says that part of the reason it has taken so long to resolve the matter is because some of the application details were not clear enough.
Mr Gill, 50, who set up the park 17 years ago, said: "I have lived here all my life and these councillors are the most backward-looking people you could come across.
"How a positive project, which would create jobs and bring more people to the area in such desperate economic times as these, could be refused beggars belief."
He added: "At the moment we have four different car parks and up to 4,000 people a day trying to cross a busy 60mph road to get to the park. With our new plans we could have them all on one piece of land."
And he warned that the zoo, which is one of Cumbria's top five visitor attractions, would stagnate if it did not grow.
"In this day and age, if you don't go forwards you are going backwards."
The zoo is already home to a variety of animals, including giraffes, rhinos, lions and lemurs and runs two animal conservation charities which aim to protect vulnerable species such as Sumatran tigers.
Mr Gill's plan has been backed by Cumbria Tourism managing director Ian Stephens, who said: ''The park provides one of many good reasons for visiting the Furness peninsula and has brought important benefits into the area in terms of employment, and tourist expenditure.
"The expansion plans are to be encouraged and have a close fit with the tourism strategy for Cumbria. We're sure that most people will be in favour of bringing increased employment and income to the area and as such we hope that the planning issues can be overcome".
John Millar, chairman of Dalton with Newton Parish Council, which opposed the plans, said councillors were not against expansion or creating jobs but were worried about access.
"We are concerned about traffic flow and the impact this could have on the surrounding rural area," he said Coun Ann Thomson, chairman of Barrow's planning committee told the Gazette: "We are not in the business of stifling entrepreneurialism – we wouldn't dream of doing that."
She said members had particular concerns that the car park would 'stand out like a sore thumb' on the hillside and it was still unclear how it would be masked by landscaping.
Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock said: "Safety should never be compromised, but I hope these concerns can be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
"The wildlife park is one of this area's big-pull attractions with lots of potential to expand and create more jobs in the years ahead."
The final decision will be made by secretary of state for local government and communities Eric Pickles following advice from the planning inspectorate.
A ruling is likely to be made next spring.
