This strange procession continues through 100 levels, with no explanation or elaboration. Addition, multiplication, division, fractions—all of them appear, without fanfare or explanation. By game's end, at level 100, you've moved seamlessly, baby step by baby step, from a cute baby dragon eating a spiky two-headed lizard, to this: "2 over x plus d over e equals b over x," which you solve, fearlessly and perhaps even a bit impatiently, in exactly 14 steps. You are 4 years old.
Senate education committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Ranking Member Patty Murray (D-Wash.) today announced several bipartisan, full committee staff working groups to address four major issues related to the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act.
Blended Learning is not so much an innovation as it is a natural by-product of the digital domain creeping into physical boundaries. As digital and social media become more and more prevalent in the life of learners, it was only a matter of time before learning became "blended" by necessity.

The First Building That Can Heal Its Own Cracks With Biological Cement ~ Gizmodo : by Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan
From gizmodo
Three years ago, we learned that a Dutch team had developed a biological concrete that could repair its own cracks. They said it might be two or three years before it found its way into the larger world—and now, we're getting a look at its real-world applications.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
The HJC FG-X is a middle priced Off-road/motocross helmet that is both SNELL and DOT approved. This helmet comes with the Advanced Channeling Ventilation System and all of the cheek pads for this model are interchangeable to get that custom fit. Also, this helmet has a completely removable and washable liner to help keep things smelling fresh after long hot days on the track.
The FG-X is another fine example of
HJC's efforts to
create helmets with many of the features of the pro level helmets, but at an
affordable price. This lid is constructed using a Kevlar reinforced fiberglass
composite shell and yet somehow the price has been kept under two hundred bucks.
The Kevlar reinforcement has been strategically placed in high impact areas, the
forehead area, both sides of the helmet in the center, and the rear of the
helmet starting near the bottom of the crown. This construction method keeps the
helmet down near 1500 grams. The helmet is available in three solid colors and
three graphics with multiple color options per graphic. To see the color ways in
greater detail, click the link below to go to the website.
The FG-X has true pass through ventilation which isn't as common as you might
think in helmets within this pricepoint. There's a total of six intakes
including the main chin vent, two additional chinbar vents, two eyebrow vents,
one top vent, and three exhaust vents to extract that hot humid air. What makes
the ventilation pass through, is this channeling in the dual density eps. Pro
riders Nate Adams and Kyle Chisholm both worked closely with HJC engineers to
create this helmet and there are two areas where it's easy to tell that this
helmet was developed by riders on a track , and not just just engineers in a
lab. The first is the eyeport. Not only do you get a huge field of vision with
this eyeport, but the shape of the opening, the contour of the shell, and the
relationship between the eyeport and the breathguard allow the rider to wear
almost any goggle on the market. The other is the liner. The fit of this helmet
is definitely race snug, yet very comfortable. Even with my long oval headshape,
I could wear this helmet all day no problem. The liner fabric is made using
HJC's Silvercool technology. This material is wicking and antibacterial so your
head stays relatively dry and your helmet won't smell like a raft guide's
personal flotation device. They have also incorporated their new snap system
which is made of a more durable material and is universally positioned, allowing
the wearer to change out the cheekpads to optimize fit.

The Abstract Factory Pattern provides a way to encapsulate a group of individual factories that have a common theme. It embodies the intent of a normal factory, i.e. remove the need for code using an interface to know the concrete implementation behind the interface, but applies to a set of interfaces and selects an entire family of concrete classes which implement those interfaces.
As an example, I might have interfaces Button, TextField and Scrollbar. I might have WindowsButton, MacButton, FlashButton as concrete classes for Button. I might have WindowsScrollBar, MacScrollBar and FlashScrollBar as concrete implementations for ScrollBar. Using the Abstract Factory Pattern should allow me to select which windowing system (i.e. Windows, Mac, Flash) I want to use once and from then on should be able to write code that references the interfaces but is always using the appropriate concrete classes (all from the one windowing system) under the covers.
Suppose we want to write a game system. We might note that many games have very similar features and control.
We decide to try to split the common and game-specific code into separate classes.
First let's look at the game-specific code for a Two-up game:
class TwoupMessages { def welcome = 'Welcome to the twoup game, you start with $1000' def done = 'Sorry, you have no money left, goodbye' } class TwoupInputConverter { def convert(input) { input.toInteger() } } class TwoupControl { private money = 1000 private random = new Random() private tossWasHead() { def next = random.nextInt() return next % 2 == 0 } def moreTurns() { if (money > 0) { println "You have $money, how much would you like to bet?" return true } return false } def play(amount) { def coin1 = tossWasHead() def coin2 = tossWasHead() if (coin1 && coin2) { money += amount println 'You win' } else if (!coin1 && !coin2) { money -= amount println 'You lose' } else println 'Draw' } }
Now, let's look at the game-specific code for a number guessing game:
class GuessGameMessages { def welcome = 'Welcome to the guessing game, my secret number is between 1 and 100' def done = 'Correct' } class GuessGameInputConverter { def convert(input) { input.toInteger() } } class GuessGameControl { private lower = 1 private upper = 100 private guess = new Random().nextInt(upper - lower) + lower def moreTurns() { def done = (lower == guess || upper == guess) if (!done) println "Enter a number between $lower and $upper" !done } def play(nextGuess) { if (nextGuess <= guess) lower = [lower, nextGuess].max() if (nextGuess >= guess) upper = [upper, nextGuess].min() } }
Now, let's write our factory code:
def guessFactory = [messages:GuessGameMessages, control:GuessGameControl, converter:GuessGameInputConverter] def twoupFactory = [messages:TwoupMessages, control:TwoupControl, converter:TwoupInputConverter] class GameFactory { def static factory def static getMessages() { return factory.messages.newInstance() } def static getControl() { return factory.control.newInstance() } def static getConverter() { return factory.converter.newInstance() } }
The important aspect of this factory is that it allows selection of an entire family of concrete classes.
Here is how we would use the factory:
GameFactory.factory = twoupFactory def messages = GameFactory.messages def control = GameFactory.control def converter = GameFactory.converter println messages.welcome def reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)) while (control.moreTurns()){ def input = reader.readLine().trim() control.play(converter.convert(input)) } println messages.done
Note that the first line configures which family of concrete game classes we will use. It's not important that we selected which family to use by using the factory property as shown in the first line. Other ways would be equally valid examples of this pattern. For example, we may have asked the user which game they wanted to play or determined which game from an environment setting.
With the code as shown, the game might look like this when run:
Welcome to the twoup game, you start with $1000 You have 1000, how much would you like to bet? 300 Draw You have 1000, how much would you like to bet? 700 You win You have 1700, how much would you like to bet? 1700 You lose Sorry, you have no money left, goodbye
If we change the first line of the script to
GameFactory.factory = guessFactory, then the sample run might look like this:
Welcome to the guessing game, my secret number is between 1 and 100 Enter a number between 1 and 100 75 Enter a number between 1 and 75 35 Enter a number between 1 and 35 15 Enter a number between 1 and 15 5 Enter a number between 5 and 15 10 Correct

Dog Adrenal Medulary Tumors
Dog Adrenal Medulary Tumors
Adrenal glands are tiny glands that are buried in the fat in front of a dog's kidneys. Their sole function is to regulate the use of specific hormones such as epinephrine, aldosterone and cortisol. These particular hormones interact with other hormones that support and influence other organs of the body. Each adrenal gland has 2 significant parts. One is the medulla and the other is the cortex. Both of these parts can become malignant.
What is the Risk for my dog getting adrenal medulary tumors?
The data that is available estimates that 0.17% to 0.76% of dogs, which includes merely one to two percent of tumors in dogs. Cancers in other organs rarely metastasize to the adrenal glands. Most commonly, Dog Lymphoma Cancer, sarcoma and Dog Hemangiosarcoma may spread to the adrenals.
Signs and Symptoms
Adrenal medulary tumors have a selection of nonspecific symptoms. It is diagnosed with immunohistochemistry. Some of these nonspecific symptoms are:
• Dog Anorexia which leads to Dog Weight Loss
• Panting
• Increased heart rate
Will my dog experience any Dog Pain?
Any dog with cancer should be on some type of pain medication. This will decrease the many discomforts that can be caused by the disease and/or the treatment.
What about diets for dogs with cancer?
If your dog contracts cancer, there are specific diets that are planned to support the patient with cancer and the symptoms that occur with the disease. Most dogs will suffer from a Dog Loss of Appetite when they contract any form of Dog Cancer. The treatments that are given can also cause difficulty with eating. Radiation can cause blisters in the mouth, chemo can cause nausea and if surgery is performed, healing is a slow process and there can be a decrease in appetite.
It is very important to maintain adequate nutrition for your dog. There are specific prescription diets for cancer dog patients as well. While voluntary eating is preferred, it may be difficult when your dog is ill. There are some appetite stimulating medications that can also be used. By increasing the appetite the potential is there to allow the dog to take in an adequate amount of calories.
In extreme conditions a feeding tube can be put in place. This is a tube that is placed either short term or long term. The tube is inserted through the dog's nose. During this period an Elizabethan collar will be ordered in order to prevent the dog from removing the tube or causing it to get out of the designated area.
If the treatment is long term, a tube can be placed into the esophagus (food tube), or into the stomach directly. This will be determined by your dogs' ability to digest the prescribed food. Intravenous feeding is also a possible necessity.
Treatment Options
The only treatment for this condition is surgery. If the dog has no metastasis, there is a good possibility of long term survival. However, it is also possible that metastasis can occur a long time after the surgery.

Catherine "Kitty" Nicholson, Supervisory Conservator in the Document Conservation Laboratory, NARA
Click to hear the interview
Jump to main content.
Thousands of feds have one thing in common - they perform work most people don't associate with the government. In our ongoing series, Cool Jobs in Government, Federal News Radio uncovers and highlights some of the most interesting and unorthodox ways feds spend their days.
Monday - 7/12/2010, 2:18pm EDT
Click to hear the interview
Imagine actually touching the the U.S. Constitution, or the Declaration of Independence.
Catherine "Kitty" Nicholson is Supervisory Conservator in the Document Conservation Laboratory at the National Archives and Records Administration.
She is part of Federal News Radio's week-long special series, Cool Jobs in Government.
She has worked directly on the conservation and preservation of several famous American documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
In addition, she worked with the producers of National Treasure and National Treasure: Book of Secrets, starring Nicholas Cage, during film development.
She explains that she doesn't just deal with incredibly famous documents, but those that pertain to the average citizen, as well.
"What we do . . . is hands-on treatment to make historic documents that document the history of our country last as long as possible. They run the gamut from what seem to be very mundane records -- but may pertain to important people, or even to you and me and our relatives -- up to and including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We have an immense quantity of records we're responsible for preserving and, if needed, providing hands-on conservation treatment."
Many of the documents, especially the more famous ones, are hermetically sealed in what NARA calls "encasements", which are filled with inert gases.
Papers like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution have been displayed this way, virtually untouched, since they came to the Archives in the 1950s.
"But, there was a time in the late 1990s when we knew we would have to close the rotunda for rennovation, and we realized that was our golden moment. We felt that the 1950s encasements had become outdated and there were new technologies, and so we did open them. I'm one of just a handful of people who can say they've actually touched those documents, because we did conservation treatment."
And she actually got to touch them with her hands. She explained that wearing gloves often impedes the grip of whomever is holding such delicate parchments and using bare hands can sometimes work better -- after a thorough washing, of course.
"It was unbelivable. I have to say, you know, I started out of graduate school working for the the National Archives as a fairly young, new conservator, and I never dreamed that I would have this responsibility or this honor. It was just mindblowing when it became clear that we would have the opportunity and we would have a small team that would work on them. That's one of the wonderful things about working for the federal government -- you don't know what opportunities may lie ahead."
As for the film National Treasure, Nicholson says many at NARA like to think Diane Kruger's character as one of them:

Fixmo and Mach 1 Development today announced a strategic partnership that will see the two companies integrate Mach 1's DocuTRACER™ technology with the Fixmo SharePlace™ mobile DLP solution for Microsoft SharePoint. As a result of the partnership, the companies will offer the industry's first government-grade mobility solution for SharePoint that will enable IT organizations to digitally sign, track and trace sensitive digital documents as they move around the enterprise network, and to proactively prevent them from being moved to smartphones and tablets, in addition to desktop and laptop computers.
As a growing number of iPads, iPhones and Android-based devices proliferate throughout Government and enterprise markets, so too has the complexity of tracking the audit trail of sensitive and classified documents as they move around the network and onto consumer-grade smartphones and tablets. Even more difficult has been the task of preventing those documents from being stored on a mobile device in the first place in a high assurance and auditable manner. Through the integrated solution offering, Fixmo and Mach 1 will now enable IT organizations to easily track and audit which sensitive documents have been stored on which mobile devices, and to proactively detect and remove specific documents through a sophisticated on-device security and policy enforcement engine.
"DocuTRACER is powerful solution that enables IT organizations to track the location, movement and chain-of-custody of sensitive documents as they move between devices, users and networks," said Paul Greene, CEO of Mach 1. "In partnering with Fixmo, we will now offer our joint customers a complete solution for securing corporate documents on mobile devices and ensuring highly sensitive information is closely tracked and controlled. This is all about helping our customers protect themselves from both outsider and insider threats."

Comments about Newton Homeopathics Eye Care:
I'm glad I read the reviews and give it a try. It indeed works after only 2 application! My dog's eye is now free of discharge and clear! I add drops in his morning and evening meals. It doesn't work for my other dog though;she has glaucoma so her eye discharge maybe due to a different complication.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Watery eyes

After giving my 8 year old Yorkie drops for a week, her eyes have cleared up.
Results in 2 days
By Brodyha
from Sarasota, FL
My 20-year-old maine coone had a discharge from both of her eyes. I used a warm wash cloth to clean them every so often when she seemed ready. Because of her age, I hesitated using any harsh chemicals. I found this product and within two days of administration the discharge disappeared! This worked like a champ. I was thrilled to have found something so effective in the "natural" arena. I would highly recommend you try this if your pet has eye issues. It snaps their system back to health gently and effectively.

Our Lab/Mix had what looked like pink eye. After 2 days of using this product her eyes cleared up. The secret is to continue use even after the eyes clear up so that infection does not return.We put the drops on her food so she did not even know she was taking medicine!
An essential in a house full of pugs
By pugx33
from NW IN
I add this to my pugs food in their breakfast. I knew it was good, but only noticed how good once I ran out. My oldest pug has had a right eye injury (popped out of socket) and since has issues with right eye boogers. When she is taking this stuff, the boogers disappear. She also does not hold still for eye drops/eye gel, so this stuff is amazing that it is oral. I give it to the other 3 pugs just as preventative, and their eyes are always nice and moist!

Good Product
By PJ
from Snohomish, WA
I started using this product for our older dog who had a chronic inflammation around his eye. We initially took him to the vet and he was prescribed all kinds of eye medications, drops, antiobiotics, etc and his eye problem would only get a little better. We didn't like having him all of the medications and the repeated vet visits with minimal or temp results. I decided to try a homeopathic approach and it worked better than anything he had been on before.

By animal lover with two cats and a dog
from mandan nd
I have to admit I was not very positive this would work for my 13 yr old persian. For the last year he has had problems with his eyes being red, inflamed, and oozy. The only thing that helped was steriod drops. I did not want to keep giving steroids so I decided to try this. I have to say it is working. It seemed to help within a couple of days. I am a believer!
Good and Bad
By daisy
from Freeport IL
Did not clear up my dogs eye infection at all. It was nice for once not to use eye drops since this goes into the mouth. 2 1/2 weeks and no change in her eye condition. The good news is that she became alot more active and healthy acting which is great because she's older. Might keep buying for that reason alone. Really wanted the eye stuff to clear up. I've tried everything, vet and non vet items.
Merchant response: It could take a few weeks of using, so its good to hear you'll continue.
works well

I would highly recommend this product. It cleared up stubborn eye discharge of my 21 year old kitty with no side effects.

Argentina will field the same run-on side that lost to Australia for their penultimate Rugby Championship Test against New Zealand on Saturday.
Coach Santiago Phelan made two changes to his bench, bringing in prop Marcos Ayerza for Juan Pablo Orlandi and back row forward Tomas Vallejos for Leonardo Senator
'Our objective is to improve match by match. In defence the players are full of confidence, we're getting better and as a consequence the results will follow,' Phelan said. 'Saturday's goal will be to avoid the drain of the final minutes,' referring to their loss against the Wallabies despite leading by 13 points at one stage.
New Zealand will win the title if they are victorious. Their cause has been aided by news that Dan Carter is expected to recover from injury in time to play.
Argentina – 15 Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, 14 Gonzalo Camacho, 13 Marcelo Bosch, 12 Santiago Fernandez, 11 Horacio Agulla, 10 Juan Martin Hernandez, 9 Martin Landajo; 8 Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe (c), 7 Juan Manuel Leguizamon, 6 Julio Farias Cabello, 5 Patricio Albacete, 4 Manuel Carizza, 3 Juan Figallo, 2 Eusebio Guinazu, 1 Rodrigo Roncero

Re:Missing option (Score:4, Informative)by DoctorBonzo (2646833) on Thursday February 14, 2013 @08:31AM (#42894471)I believe the caffeine headache comes from *withdrawal* not use. Have you tried going cold turkey for a day or so?
Re:Coworker story time. (Score:5, Informative)Up until a couple years ago, there was no caffeine allowed in non-cola soft drinks in Canada [hc-sc.gc.ca], including things such as Root Beer, Mountain Dew, and Sprite/7-up. They only recently started allowing it, but most drinks didn't change their recipe, possibly because people liked them the way they were. Yeah, so in Canada, Mountain Dew doesn't have caffeine.
Re:Missing option: Yerba mate (Score:4, Informative)
I'm drinking some right now. Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_(beverage) [wikipedia.org]
I think it tastes more like wet hay than thistle. Of course, if you don't drink it, there will be a better supply for me.
Cruz de Malta appears to be the standard choice, but I prefer Rosamonte Seleccion Especial, which has a stronger flavor. I think that the best deals are to be found online. Order the yerba (the weed itself) in 1 kilo bags, 10 or 12 at a time to amortize the shipping cost, which is usually too high for a single bag.Get a nice mate (=cup=gourd) and bombilla (straw with strainer). After some experience with fancier ones, I prefer the simplest gourds with no decoration. They usually come with a bit of pulp, that you need to soak and scoop out with a spoon. Part of the ritual.

Re:Missing option (Score:5, Informative)by LunaticTippy (872397) on Thursday February 14, 2013 @04:34PM (#42900521)McDonald's coffee seems to have a decent dosage of caffeine. Say what you want about the color, flavor, or strength, it does provide an average amount of caffeine according to my sensors.
I think this is due to the type of beans and the roast. Lighter roasts don't break down as much of the caffeine as a darker roast, and cheaper robusta beans contain more caffeine to begin with. A cup of strong tasting dark roast arabica coffee will typically have less caffeine than a watery cup of light roast robusta truck stop coffee.

If he was a true nerd he would have done the math. An 8oz "cup" of coffee contains about 100mg of caffeine on average (but varies wildly, that's ok his "cup" is probably not 8oz either). While I could not find caffeine content in Shasta Diet Soda, Diet Coke contains 45mg/12oz can. In a 2 liter bottle, there are 68 fluid ounces.
So 1-2 cups of coffee is 100-200 mg, while 2 liters of diet soda is 250mg. Given the margin of error is so high, they're roughly the same, but I predict more bathroom trips in the afternoon.
There, I hope I've restored a little of your faith in Slashdot.

Men's Tennis Defeats Shaw 7-2 in 2013 Spring Opener
February 9, 2013
RALEIGH, N.C. - Pfeiffer University's men's tennis team defeated host Shaw University 7-2 on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons improve to 1-2 on the year after knocking off a Bears squad that made the NCAA II Sweet Sixteen a year ago.
Pfeiffer swept all three points in doubles play using two wins and one by default. Ben Hunter and Loic Minery scored an 8-5 win at #1 while Orlando Castillo and Luis Villalta rolled 8-4 at #2. In singles, Minery needed a three-set win at #2 singles 4-6, 7-6, 10-7 as did Stephen Miller at #5. Miller came back for a 6-4, 5-7, 10-8 victory. Villalta won in straight-sets at #3 while Bret Williams secured a point by default.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Thursday traveling to Guilford for a 3:00 p.m. match.

Oris Concert Series
June 4, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
The 11th Annual Oris Sprit of Jazz Concert Series kicked off yesterday. Good times. Blues guitarist Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson performed and was a total crowd pleaser. I think for me, with the passing of Bo Diddley, a true Rock 'n Roll pioneer and father, it was really fitting for some reason.
The Oris concerts will take place every Tuesday in June from 12 PM - 2PM. Soulful saxophonist Houston Person brings his quartet on June 10, pianist Eric Reed and his quartet are on June 17, and we wrap up the series with trombonist Steve Turre and his quintet on June 24.
Each year, Oris also presents a retrospective exhibit to accompany the live music series. Past exhibits have honored jazz legends such as Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, and others. This year, Oris is celebrating America's original art form, with an exhibit simply titled The Blues. Visit the Tourneau TimeMachine Exhibit Hall, where you can view rare and never-before-seen blues memorabilia, photos and more. The exhibit will be on display the entire month of June. Exhibit hall viewing hours are 10:00 AM-6:00 PM on Mon - Wed; Fri and Sat. 10:00 AM-7:00 PM on Thursdays and from 11:30 AM-5:30 PM on Sundays.
Bassist Butch Warren
June 4, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
A couple years ago, I had heard that bassist Butch Warren reappeared onstage in DC.
I remember thinking to myself, "Where the hell has he been?"
The answer was that he had been to hell and back.
Chances are you have a record with Butch Warren. The bassist was a prolific session man for Blue Note Records in the early 1960s. That groove on "Watermelon Man," from Herbie Hancock's debut? Yeah, that's Butch. Dexter Gordon, Sonny Clark, Grant Green? Yeah, that's Butch.
Warren was quite the anchor for those studio dates, yet he lived a life largely unmoored. He spent years on and off the streets. That kind of living has clearly taken its toll, but Warren still plays, scuffling for work and staying on his feet. I generally have mixed feelings when nationally televised networks show people the world of jazz. More often than not, it's an all too familiar tale of drug abuse, homelessness, institutionalization that catches the whim of an editor.
Believe it or not, there are a few happy endings in jazz.
Here's to Butch Warren finding his.

After nearly two weeks of trying to reassure the public that Burger King's products were safe, the fast food giant just announced that an internal investigation confirmed that burgers containing horse meat have been sold in its United Kingdom locations!
Rumors of the contamination were first triggered by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland after it found horse meat in the frozen beef burgers of several major grocery suppliers in Ireland and the UK. The contaminated meat is from the Ireland-based processing company Silvercrest, which is a subsidiary of ABP Food Group.
"These recent revelations of horse meat in European hamburgers are proof that the predatory horse slaughter industry isn't worried about who it victimizes—horses and diners are all at risk," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations. "In addition to the inherent cruelty of horse slaughter, the toxicity of horse meat is a big problem. We've become increasingly aware of all the drugs routinely given to horses that are dangerous to humans and banned for use in animals raised for human consumption."
Take Action!
This incident happened across the ocean, but horses are at risk of terrifying, inhumane deaths at slaughterhouses right here at home: Horse slaughter proponents are taking drastic steps to re-open horse slaughter plants in the United States! Please urge U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to reject any application to operate a horse slaughter facility in the U.S.
Thank you for taking action!
It is sick and wrong but their is no way to stop it. Its impossible! All we can do is make strict regulations to save the horses from pain and suffering. After that houses will be forced to close their doors because they will be fined to much to keep the plants running
Why does this horrify people? Everybody should be just as outraged that millions of cows, pigs and chickens suffer this fate every day across the world. Why arent you horrified about that? I own horses, and yes they are magnificent, clever creatures. But no more than a cow, or a sheep. .. all animals have the same capacity for pain and fear. And not one of them wants to die just so you can have a meal. They struggle and fight to the very last breath. Every last one of them. Eating any animal is wrong.
Horses are not special. If you're okay with eating cows or pigs or sheep or goats, you should be okay with eating horses. Or dogs or any animal for that matter. Pigs are also smart and beautiful. Pigs are as smart as, if not smarter than, dogs.
But society tells you they are worthy of nothing but horrible treatment and death so YOU can get nourishment (and a myriad of health problems from hormones and the over-consumption of red meat)that you can get elsewhere. Not to mention the horrible environmental impact of the ridiculous meat consumption now practiced.
If you eat one, eat them all. Horses are not special. They are ALL special and not deserving of slaughter.
Why do people think horse meat is any "grosser" than cows meat? they are both carcasses of dead animals!
This is ridiculous, horse meat really?! You guts are sick! Poor animals they dont deserve die in slaghouter houses, this is defedently gotta stop now!
I have tried going vegetarian but the more I think about it, it predator and prey a natural occurrence? What would happen if we didn't eat animals? Now I DO agree that we shouldn't be just putting them in slaughtering houses and treating them like filth, but think how many carnivores are in the wild? Should humans be an exception? This is one topic I have contemplated many times. So yes, complete slaughter is wrong. But is consuming meat like the rest of nature so wrong as well? "The circle of lifeeeee"
These comments are so interesting. I was going to bring up the same thing...I've often wondered why horse meat is considered so different from cow or pig or chicken, or, to be honest, any other animal. Different cultures put different values on animals, so in some countries, dog meat is an okay thing to eat. We can't imagine it here in the U.S., but it doesn't necessarily make it wrong in another country. I am a meet eater and I can only hope that these animals, who I thank with my life for sacrificing their lives for my dinner, are treated as humanely as possible. Sadly, so many animals are not, and humans should do what they can to make sure the animals they eat were treated humanely. That said, if it's true that horses are given medicines and such that are unsafe for human consumption, that is different entirely. But if the horse meat is safe to eat, then as long as Burger King informs its consumers of what is in their Whoppers, I don't think it's such a terrible thing. But it is bad to lie to your consumers if your consumers feel it is unethical to eat that type of meat.
Eat responsibly.
Please consider to become vegeterian/vegan.
I am glad I became one and it was the best decesion I have ever made.
This is why I don't eat meat. We all should try to cut down our consumption of animals all together. I am a loving and responsible horse owner, but I hear of a lot of unwanted horses going to Mexico for a cruel slaughter . There has to be a better way....

I must get more of this wig in different colors. Danica is a loose wave with texture and feel like my hair years ago. This is a hair replacement for me. However, I can see wearing one of these in different colors long after my hair starts to grow back. It is so natural looking. The blend is so nice. I will never buy another synthetic wigs unless it feels as must like human hair as this blend. The MONO top makes this work for me. I have a short farhead and widnows peak. I was worried that a wig without a lace front with be a problem. But it is great and I can comb or finger style it away from my face with a side bang and wisps around the face. I have worn what was nearly this hair cut years ago before I started to thin. I have trouble being sure what the colors in the color blocks really look like and must avoid too much red and brassy tones, yet I need a glow to the dark medium browns so they will look more like my hair. I am wearing Danica for 10 to 12 hours at a time and I hate to take her off at night. Thank You Paula Young for a great product.

This is very natural looking. I couldn't get a shade that matched my hair exactly, so I wear this wig at certain times as I have several wigs that are all the same color as my own hair. The color I purchased is 8/12 and is close to my own hair. One feature that I like is that I can pull my own hair through the wig and it helps to keep it on my head. The hair is so soft and feels really good. It is a little large, however, which I find happens quite a bit in the average sized PY wigs. By this I mean that there is looseness in the back. It is snug at the base, but loose at the crown and down further. I don't mind this as it is very comfortable. This particular wig has a top knot that kinds of sticks up so it needs to be combed well and sprayed at the crown to keep the hair down. I don't think anyone thinks I am wearing a wig which is the way I like it.

This wig is the best. Does not have that wig shine to look fake. Love the style I wear this behind my ears which is great because I have a boy cut hair style now and this gives me a little longer style. My family who are strong critics did not believe it was a wig I had to pull it off my head to show them. This is the most natural looking wig love the human hair.

This is great! I was able to take it out of the box and wear it immediately just with a few shakes and finger rearranging.Color is a bit lighter than I thought, but looks good on me. I bought this for a wedding I am attending, but will no doubt wear it more often. I may get another!

I recieved my Danica wig by Paula Young today. I ABSOULTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE this wig. I have ordered several wigs in the past but this one is my all time favorite. I order #14 which is a soft brownish blond. So Natural looking, no shine like a lot of wigs I have. I guarantee no one will know you are wearing a wig. I hope now that I found a wig that I adore that you will keep it in stock for a long long time to come.

Walter Nelson Abbott 1913 ~ 2003 Walter Nelson (Nels) Abbott, 89, passed away on November 18, 2003, after a fall in his home. He was born in New York City on December 22, 1913, a son of Clarence Mallory and Elizabeth Nelson Abbott. He attended
Princeton University
as a member of the Class of 1936. His first regular job after leaving Princeton University was as a "missionary" sales representative for Van Norman Machine Tool Company. He covered the northwestern five states in the U.S. and two Canadian provinces and came to Boise, Idaho, where he met Opal "Monette" Rigby, of Fairview, Utah. They were married June 21, 1941, in the Episcopal Cathedral in Boise, Idaho, and moved to Oak Grove, Oregon. In the Fall of 1942 he began long-term employment with Westinghouse Electric Corporation, interrupted for approximately two years after he enlisted in the Navy in 1944. He was discharged in 1946 as an Aviation Electronics Technicians Mate First Class, having spent most of his Navy time as an instructor in Chicago and elsewhere. After his discharge from the Navy, he returned to Westinghouse and held management positions in many areas of the country in the Marketing Division of the Westinghouse Appliance Divisions, in and out of Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio and California. He retired in 1973, and they moved to Orem, Utah, where they lived continuously, except for two years in Sun City, Arizona. A while after his wife's death, Nels moved to Cove Point Retirement Center, where he thoroughly enjoyed interaction with others in the Center, became involved in their bridge group and their book club, where he enjoyed giving informative reviews of both books and biographies of authors and others of historical note. Nels was a life-long Episcopalian and a member of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Provo. He served there as Vestry Member, Junior Warden, Senior Warden, Lay Reader and Chalice Bearer. He was the author of numerous newspaper articles about activities and personnel at St. Mary's. Opal and Nels were unable to have children and efforts at adoption were unsuccessful because of his frequent employment transfers. However, he is survived by many nieces and nephews, to whom he was a "favorite uncle," and by "in-laws" who considered him as a real brother. Funeral services will be held Monday, November 24, 2003 at 11:00 a.m. in the St. Mary's Episcopal Church, 50 West 200 North, Provo, Utah. Friends may visit the family at a viewing at the Walker Sanderson Funeral Home, 646 East 800 North, Orem, Utah on Sunday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. and at the Church on Monday morning from 10 to 11 a.m. prior to services. Interment will be in the Fairview City Cemetery, Fairview, Utah. Receptions will be held at the church after the funeral and in Fairview after the burial service. To send condolences please visit

Combination of Gulf Oil and Dispersant Spell Potential Trouble for Gut Microbes
CONTACT: Jim Sliwa
WASHINGTON, DC – October 23, 2012 – A study to be published in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology, on Tuesday, October 23, examined whether crude oil from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the dispersant used on it, or a combination of the two might affect the microbes of the human digestive tract. The researchers found that although high concentrations of oil combined with dispersant are detrimental to these helpful microbial communities, the low to undetectable concentrations typically found in Gulf shellfish had no discernable effect.
"The oil and the dispersant were not hazardous or toxic to the bacteria [at the tested concentrations], but when you combined them and increased the concentrations, you got a dose-response effect," says Carl Cerniglia of the National Center for Toxicological Research at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (NCTR, FDA), a senior author on the study.
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill released roughly 4.9 million barrels of crude oil into the northern Gulf of Mexico in the spring and summer of 2010. To accelerate dispersion and enhance breakdown of the oil by microorganisms, 1.5 million gallons of the dispersant COREXIT 9500 were sprayed on the surface of the spill and applied at the underwater source of the leak. Concerns were soon raised about the safety of that dispersant for wildlife, plants, and humans alike. Oysters, shrimp, and other delicacies could well bioaccumulate oil or dispersant in their tissues, so eating contaminated shellfish presents one possible route by which humans could be exposed.
Although studies of the toxicity of crude oil and COREXIT 9500 to the human body have been carried out, science has not explored whether the dispersant or a mixture of oil and dispersant could have an impact on the microorganisms that line our intestinal tracts and aid in digestion, enhance immunity, and manufacture essential vitamins that the body absorbs.
Cerniglia and his colleagues combined human fecal samples, which are loaded with the microorganisms that reside in the intestines, with varying quantities of Deepwater Horizon crude oil and the dispersant, and then tested the samples to see how the microorganisms fared.
The crude oil and dispersant together had a greater toxic effect on the microbes present in the fecal samples, says Cerniglia, apparently because the dispersant is doing what it was designed to do: break up the oil blobs into smaller blobs with greater surface-to-volume ratios and greater bioavailability. "By adding the dispersant to the crude you're solubilizing the oil, which may make it more bioavailable to the organisms and create a potentially toxic response."
The oil and dispersant affected some types of bacteria more than others, says Cerniglia. In fecal samples from all three volunteers in the study that were treated with oil and dispersant, the abundance of Escherichia coli increased while the abundance of Bacteroides uniformis and uncultured Faecalibacterium were reduced. This is important because high densities of E. coli have been associated with greater susceptibility to foodborne infections.
Cerniglia cautions that although the findings reveal that dispersant and crude oil together can have a negative impact on the human microbiome, it is important to note that the concentrations of these materials in seafood are typically well below the concentrations used in this study.
"We had to get to the higher concentrations to see an effect," says Cerniglia. "And that's not a typical concentration that would be found in a residue analysis of seafood." Hence, although high concentrations of oil and dispersant can impact gut communities, there is no evidence to indicate shellfish harbor great enough quantities of these materials to have an effect. "It's almost like a worst case scenario, but that's the kind of information one needs to know in the beginning," so that scientists can eventually discern what safe levels of exposure to oil-dispersants mixtures might be.
Moving forward, Cerniglia says his group would like to expand the preliminary study to include samples from a greater number and variety of volunteers. "The microbiota of each individual is unique. We provided information with the three individuals' fecal samples that we used, but we'd like to expand that," Cerniglia says.
