Sikhumbuzo Notshe plans to build on his impressive 2010 and play a key role for school, province and country this season.
The 17-year-old Wynberg Boys' High loose forward was one of the standout players for Western Province at last year's Craven Week in Welkom, which saw him selected for the SA Schools and SA U18 High Performance teams. With the experience gained in the past year, Notshe believes he will be a better player in 2011.
'Playing at a national level is a big step up, the standards are much higher,' says Notshe. 'But that has only motivated me to work harder. I've been hitting the gym and focusing a lot on my conditioning.
'This season, I want to do well for my school. Wynberg has about 10 1st XV boys left over from last year, so it will be an experienced side. We will look to beat some of the top schools this season, but the main prize will be beating Grey PE for the first time at 1st XV level. It will be a big challenge for us.'
Notshe was born in King William's Town in the Eastern Cape but moved to Cape Town at a young age. He attended Nomlinganiselo Primary before continuing his schooling at Wynberg, where he has played 1st XV rugby since Grade 10. Notshe has also represented WP at U12, U13, U16 and U18 level in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010 respectively.
Notshe started his career playing centre and fullback, but made the switch to loose forward two years ago, which he feels has paid dividends.
'The transition was difficult early on. I didn't enjoy all the binding and rucking and spent too much time in the backline,' says Notshe. 'But I managed to get used to being part of the pack and got the basics right eventually. I'm enjoying it. Being part of the backline early on in my career has helped me as a loose forward, especially on attack and with my handling.'
Wynberg 1st XV coach James Whinston believes Notshe will be a key player in his team this season.
'Sikhumbuzo is an explosive athlete, and can create a lot of momentum with ball in hand,' says Whinston. 'He's rugby smart and plays a leadership role in the team. He also has a big influence in a match. When he plays well, he tends to lift the spirits in the team, which we will need in this tough upcoming season.'
Notshe says he doesn't have any set plans after school as he is '100% focused' on 2011.
'I turn 18 this year, so it's my final opportunity to be selected for the WP Craven Week and SA age-group squads as I will be too old in my matric year,' says Notshe. 'My goals are to maintain and improve on the standards I set last season and to be a better player. Next year, I can start deciding on my future. The decisions I make will be the best ones for my rugby career.'

There are benefits to adding blinds to your home
Are you looking for new window treatments for your home? There are benefits to adding blinds to your windows.
One benefit of blinds, as with most window coverings, is they allow you to have more privacy. You can block your windows so your neighbors can't see into your home.
Blinds offer more versatility than shades or curtains in that they allow you to control how much sun is let in through your windows. You can close the blinds all the way, you can open them all the way, or you can open them at an angle somewhere in between.
Blinds also offer a clean, classy look for your home, and can be a feature that prospective home buyers might like if you ever decide to sell your home.

MADISON – A Madison man was arrested Wednesday night and charged with operating at least two separate clandestine methamphetamine labs, according to Boone County Chief Deputy Chad Barker.
Kenneth Lee Ball, 50, of Madison, was charged with two counts of operating a clandestine laboratory. These are felony charges and are punishable with a 2 to 10 year prison term.
Deputies were responding to an anonymous tip when they were able to locate an area where they felt the methamphetamine was being cooked on a regular basis, according to Barker.
Officers traveled to the Ball residence on Robinson Lane, outside of Madison, just before midnight on Wednesday. Ball was contacted and a search was conducted of the property. Investigators located evidence from at least two (2) separate clandestine labs during the search, Barker said.
Ball was being arraigned in front of Boone County Magistrate Charles Byrnside.
Barker said that Ball's brother, Jerry, was arrested a few months ago at the same property for operating a clandestine lab as well.
Sheriff Randall White praised the community for their involvement in this case.
"Law Enforcement has an extremely difficult job and it definitely helps when the citizens take time to give us helpful information," the sheriff said.
White said anonymous tips can be called in to 304-369-7387 or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), chairman of the Joint Economic Committee of Congress and a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, released the following statement on President Obama's nomination of Dr. Janet Yellen as the next Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:
"I congratulate Dr. Janet Yellen upon her nomination as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve. She will bring to the post a reputation for outstanding public service, professional competence and personal integrity."
"A legitimate concern for many is whether Dr. Yellen will continue, or worse expand, the Fed's stimulus of Wall Street with the uncertainty it brings to Main Street and the risk of future inflation. Clearly, if quantitative easing were succeeding in its goal of boosting employment, then America would not be experiencing a historically weak recovery four years after the recession ended."
Brady also predicts that confirmation hearings before the Senate Banking Committee will present Dr. Yellen with an opportunity to articulate what she believes should be the Federal Reserve's primary mission over the next four years.
"As the Federal Reserve nears its 100th birthday, I would hope that Dr. Yellen would work with those of us in Congress who seek to establish a bipartisan commission to assess the Federal Reserve's record in that time and recommend reforms in its mission and operations."

Hit all chains and softly fell in the basket. Been playing for almost 3 years, so I'm pumped to finally get my first ace! Hope there's plenty more to come!

|Introduction | Nikon AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D | Nikon AF Nikkor 28mm f/2.8D | Nikon AF Nikkor 35mm f/2D | Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D
With a DxOMark score of 21, the Nikon AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D is a good, solid lens.
|Strong points
|Weak points
|Reasonable sharpness
|Reasonable transmission
|Noticeable chromatic aberrations
|Not much distortion
|Not too heavy
How well does this lens compare to the Sony AF 20mm F2.8, another "antique" but popular lens?
With a DxOMark score of only 10, the Sony 20mm's performance is very limited indeed. With an 11-point lead, the Nikon 20mm is way, way ahead.
The advantages of the Nikon:
The advantage (note the singular!) of the Sony:
To sum up once again - the Nikon is a beautiful old lens!
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Here is a new series featuring the results of Pentax prime lenses mounted on the compatible camera with the best resolution thus far, the Pentax K5. (But as usual, you can consult DxOMark to see the results for these lenses when mounted on other compatible camera bodies, such as the Pentax K7 or Km.)
After looking at the Nikon AF-D series, DxOMark continues working its way through the history of photography by presenting the measurements for another "antique" lens, the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM.

Federal Drive Interviews -- Feb. 7, 2013
Thursday - 2/7/2013, 9:14am EST
This is the Federal Drive show blog. Here you can listen to the interviews, find more information about the guests on the show each day and links to additional resources.
Today's guests:
executive director of admissibility and passenger programs
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Self-service kiosks are everywhere these days at subway stations, at the grocery store and even your doctor's office. But up until now, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has only offered automated services for a select group of pre-enrolled passengers. That's all about to change. CBP is getting ready to roll out a kiosk that everyone can use.
Listen to the full interview today at 10 a.m., or download later at Agency of the Month.
executive director
The Pentagon plans to extend some benefits to gay service members' same-sex partners. It could be one of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's last moves before retirement. He has shepherded the military through the end of Don't Ask Don't Tell. But another law may present challenges to this latest move to treat gay service members equally. Allyson Robinson is executive director of Out Serve SLDN, an advocacy group for gay service members and their families.
chief information officer
Postal Service's Office of the Inspector General
Gary Barlet is the chief information officer for the Postal Service's Office of the Inspector General. He tells executive editor Jason Miller about why the OIG's office is focusing so heavily on smartphones and tablet devices.

Postal Service's IG's office proclaims 2013 as year of mobile
International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers
The administration's top brass is trying to calm federal employees' fears over potential furloughs. Or so it seems from a hastily-called meeting earlier this week. A group of federal union representatives was having a routine meeting, when they got a call. Office of Management and Budget Controller Danny Werfel and Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry were on the line. They wanted to talk about the across-the-board budget cuts that could come next month.
vice president
CGI Federal
The General Services Administration is slowly adding to the list of companies approved to sell cloud computing to the federal government. Under it's Fed-RAMP process, GSA has koshered two so far. Fed-RAMP makes sure companies are secure. That means agencies can hire them without further security testing. The latest to receive Fed-RAMP approval is CGI Federal.
No more letters on Saturdays starting in August. That's how the Postal Service plans to save $2 billion a year. Some on Capitol Hill support the idea. But not Northern Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly. He says the Postal Service doesn't have the legal authority to cut service.

About UNDP in Namibia
UNDP is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 177 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners.
In Namibia, we support analytical policy-oriented research and capacity building efforts aimed at enhancing job creation and reducing poverty at national and sub-national levels.
We contribute towards improved democratic governance in the country by working in specific areas with the governance institutions that provide the best potential to improve oversight, human rights, accountability and participation.
We also focus on building resilience so that Namibia can safeguard its developmental gains and pathways from the effects of shocks – natural and economic. We assist Namibia to better manage environmental risks and enhance capacities needed to advance resilience as outlined in the national development frameworks, with particular emphasis on strengthening national ownership and leadership of institutional mechanisms. We aim to strengthen capacities to deal with and manage environmental degradation including climate change adaptation and mitigation.
What do we want to accomplish?
We supports the Government of Namibia (GRN) in identifying key challenges in meeting its Vision 2030 and the Millennium Development Goals by improving capacities at the national, regional and local levels.
The programme has three components:
- Democratic Governance, Gender Equality & Women Empowerment and HIV/AIDS;
- Poverty Reduction and Strategic Policy
- Energy and Environment for Sustainable Development
In all our activities, we encourage the protection of human rights and the empowerement of women.
What are our results?
Energy & Environment unit - UNDP Namibia supported the Benguela Current Convention which was signed on 18 March 2013, making it a permanent inter-governmental institution through which Angola, Namibia and South Africa will collaborate in promoting the long-term conservation, protection, rehabilitation, enhancement and sustainable use of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME).
Gender Equality & Women Empowerment Unit - The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Namibia Country Office is supporting the development of a Masters of Arts in Gender Studies to be offered by the University of Namibia starting the academic year 2014.
Governance Unit - That UNDP Namibia supported the Office of the Prime Minister to introduce business process reengineering in the Namibia Public Service as the overarching vehicle for streamlining processes for efficient and effective public service delivery.
HIV/AIDS unit - UNDP Namibia through the CCFC-CC project supported the national strategic interventions of MTP III and NSF namely prevention, treatment, care and support, impact mitigation and response management.
Through MDG-F funding from the Spanish Co-operation, UNDP supported 15 income generating projects in 9 regions. This initiative is economically empowering rural women and girls and providing them with the opportunity to reduce their vulnerability to transactional sex. The country is now at the implementation stage of these projects in Caprivi, Oshana, Omustai, Karas, Erongo, Ohangwena, Kavango, Kunene and Ohangwena Region.
Who are the decision makers?
Mr. Musinga Bandora is the UN Resident Coordinator and the UNDP Resident Representative, while Mr. Neil Boyer is the Deputy Resident Representative .The UNDP Operations Manager is Mr. Rheinhardt Doeseb.
Programme heads are responsible for each of the five programme areas – HIV/AIDS, Democratic Governance, Gender Equality & Women Empowerment (Mrs. Sarah Mwilima), Poverty reduction and Policy (Mr. Ojio Odhiamo), Energy & Environment (Ms. Martha Naanda).

Yes, it's winter in Paris. And while the temperature drops, folks move inside the cafés to escape the cold, except the hearty smokers, who are seemingly immune to the chill outside while they puff away on les terrasses. And while we're all bundled up, shivering on the sidewalks as we go about our days, on café chalkboards are scrawled the words: Vin chaud.
Vin chaud (hot mulled wine) is somewhat of an anomaly in a country where wine is revered, as the idea of "heated wine", infused with spices, is a curious paradox. I was never big on the idea myself, and preferred my wine straight up (except for rosé, on ice), but during the bitingly cold winter in Paris, I can see the appeal of the warm soothing drink, tinged with the spices of winter.

Drug courts are an effective problem-solving approach for dealing with alcohol and other drug addicted offenders in the judicial system. Drug courts closely monitor the defendant's progress toward sobriety and recovery through ongoing treatment, frequent drug testing, regular mandatory check-in court appearances, and the use of a range of immediate sanctions and incentives to foster behavior change.
In drug court, judges collaborate with other traditional court participants (prosecutors, defense counsel, treatment providers, probation officers, law enforcement, educational and vocational experts, community leaders and others), whose roles have been substantially modified, but not relinquished, in the interest of helping defendants deal with addiction.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Dwight Howard rested, but many other Lakers used their Sunday to put in some serious work.
It was barely enough for the Lakers to avoid another devastating setback and edge the lowly Detroit Pistons, 98-97.
Pau Gasol, even though Howard mocked his lack of lift on an earlier dunk, got up just high enough to distract Detroit's Andre Drummond on a last-second alley-oop chance for Detroit — and led the Lakers with 23 points and 10 rebounds.
Metta World Peace wasn't afraid to assert himself physically even in the house where he endured his most infamous moment going into the stands to fight in 2004 — bringing the energy on a day when relieved Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said after surviving: "These are playoff games for us."
Kobe Bryant's alley-oop inbounds pass from midcourt to Earl Clark before and Bryant's steal and hammer slam on Pistons guard Brandon Knight after halftime triggered two wild– and rare — team-bonding moments of celebration. In another poor shooting outing as Bryant tries to prioritize teammates' shots over his own rhythm, Bryant powered to the basket for the go-ahead three-point play with 1:09 left.
"My heart's racing right now," D'Antoni said afterward.
The Lakers escaped with the victory without Howard, who rested his sore right shoulder. The Lakers have now won consecutive games with Gasol but without Howard, even though they were 0-3 earlier this season without both.
Despite Detroit missing newly acquired point guard Jose Calderon because of work visa delays and appearing to have its spirit broken in the third quarter, the Lakers did what they do lately and lost focus after starting well. They blew an 18-point lead because they couldn't keep up with jitterbug Will Bynum,who kept going to the rim — which left Bryant thinking about how "they think twice about that" if defensive stalwart Howard is standing in the paint.
Still, Bynum's shot from the paint over Gasol went in and out, and the Lakers held on even though Steve Nash — who had been 39 of 41 for the season on free throws — missed two in the final seconds with the Lakers ahead by one point. Nash's relief at not costing his team a much-needed victory in the chase for a playoff spot was undeniable.
"I choked two up there," Nash said. "A win is a win, but I take a lot of pride in being a fourth-quarter player and making shots, particularly free throws. I take responsibility there, and I didn't come through for the guys tonight. But luckily it didn't kill us."
Nash did register 11 points and 10 assists and executed two key plays with Gasol for the Lakers' only late points besides Bryant's three-point play.
Howard did not play Sunday in Detroit because of lingering pain in his right shoulder, and he wasn't sure he'd return Tuesday in Brooklyn either.
"It feels a little bit better, but still sore," Howard said Sunday. "Certain movements hurt, and I don't want to go there in any pain or go out there thinking about it too much."
Howard aggravated the torn labrum Wednesday in Phoenix. It wasn't the first time, and the pain fades after each aggravation, but Howard remains leery of another incident.

Just like fad diets for humans, popular diets for your pets come and go. However, there's one particular pet diet trend that gives us pause: ASPCA experts say raw food diets for pets that include raw meat, eggs and milk may be dangerous for your furry friends. We typically recommend that pet parents opt for well-balanced, high-quality commercial and cooked foods instead.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) agrees. In studies published in AVMA's journal, homemade and commercial raw food diets for dogs and cats were found to contain dangerous bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, just to name a few. Other tests showed that unprocessed food diets can lead to nutrient deficiencies or excess that can cause serious illnesses in pets. Also, pets chewing on raw bones can lead to obstruction or perforation of their gastrointestinal tracts, and fractured teeth.
If you don't want to feed your dog or cat a commercial diet, consider a homemade diet that will diminish the risks of foodborne illnesses. These meals should be thoroughly cooked and need to be formulated by a veterinary nutritionist or by your veterinarian to make sure they're nutritionally sound.
If you are passionate about feeding your pet raw foods, please consider the following tips.
- Work with your veterinarian to ensure that your pet's diet is nutritionally balanced.
- Avoid feeding raw foods in homes with babies and toddlers (who put lots of things in their mouths), the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
- Practice regular hand washing before and after feeding pets.
- Practice appropriate disposal methods when cleaning up pet feces.
For more information about pet-safe diets, consult your veterinarian and check out our complete list of people foods that are dangerous to pets.
Tell us in the comments below: Do you feed your pet raw foods or a homemade diet?
My greyhounds eat a freeze-dried Stella & Chewy chicken patty with their kibble twice a day. Does frozen-raw split the difference in this debate?
People do you realize how stupid you sound? WHAT ANIMAL ON THIS PLANET COOKS IT'S FOOD OTHER THAN HUMANS! You are so brainwashed by the pet food industry and it's killing your dogs! Just because the animal lives in your house does not mean its digestive system and nutritional needs has changed in the last 60 years that dog food became a hit. People are ignorant and would rather keep feeding a cereal to their dogs instead of what your dog thrives on. It's not an opinion it's a fact look at a biology book dogs are carnivores. The sooner you realize that animals do not cook their food the sooner you can save your dog or cat from that next bowl of crap you put down. Yes even grain free food is still processed.
It's anecdotal at best but my 2 yr old German shephard vomited EVERY time he ate. Until he ate raw.
Now he only gets sick when he eats something he shouldn't. He also had no interest in kibble. Who would? Imagine if our food was overly processed and beyond recognition as food. Oh wait, it is, and as humans we are obese, diabetic, and all around in horrible shape. My dog is strong healthy and interested in eating every meal. That's thanks to raw.
A Species Appropriate Raw diet (for a meat eating animal) is 80% meat, 10% bone and 10% organ, of with 5% should be liver and 5% other organs. For Raw feeders HEART meat is not considered to be an organ meat, but rather, due to the density a "Meaty Meat."
We do not feed big, dense, heavy weight baring bones, such as leg bones from LARGE animals, beef, elk, deer. These bones can crack teeth and are known as Wrecker Bones. Few beef bones are a good idea in general. However poultry, pig, goat, lamb bones are usually fully digestible by dogs. Cats tend to need smaller bones, quail, chicken (necks, wings, ribs) and, of course, feeder rodents. ALL BONES FED..MUST BE RAW. Cooking or using heat on bones causes them to become brittle and unsafe as they can then splinter into sharp shards. Raw bones are "soft" and digest.
Why not feed grains, fruits and veggies? (plant grown foods)
A lot of people feed their dogs veggies but if you look to nature, you will see that your dog wouldn't eat veggies in any measurable amounts. He might eat a few berries or maybe some grass but certainly not zucchini, carrots, potatoes or any of the veggies that many people feed. Also you must know that all the cells in all vegetable matter is covered by a think layer of cellulose. This cellulose must be crushed during the eating process in order for the nutrients in the vegetables to be available for digestion. This is called bioavailablity. The nutrients in vegetable matter is not bioavailable to our dogs because they don't have the flat molar teeth that plant eating animals do. Humans, for example, have flat molars for crushing cellulose during chewing. Dogs, cats and ferrets molars are called carnassal teeth and are not flat but work like scissors to rip and tear meat and crush bones. So, by looking at your dog's teeth, you can tell that veggies just are not appropriate food for them.
The stomach acid in a a dog is about 10 TIMES stronger than that of a human.
Commercial pet feeds OFTEN are recalled because they have " dangerous bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, just to name a few" in them. The manufacturers are not worried about our dogs and cats getting Salmonella, their guts can deal with that. The manufacturer is worried that YOU AND I will handle the food, especially dry pet food, and because it IS "just dry food" we won't think to wash our hands and then we make a sandwich or do something else that transfers the salmonella to US...we get sick and SUE THEM.
Also, I think it's fair to share that most Vet Schools accept grants and large donations from two important companies (in the USA at least), Pet Food Manufacturers and Pharmaceutical Manufacturers.
Because of their generous donations, both industries are allowed to often TEACH or at least present information about vaccines and, important for this discussion...IDEAL PET DIETS/Nutrition.
FOLLOW THE MONEY... Who stands to gain or loose according to what you choose to feed your beloved companion animals? Who will gain or loose MONEY according to your choices? I think it's pretty clear here! If a Vet pays a pretty good amount of money to attend Vet School, and invests their time and money, is it not reasonable for them to ASSUME they are being given the best, right, correct information? You can't hardly blame them for believing what they are told!
But, remember...those zig-zag teeth DO NOT grind through the cell covering on plant grown foods...the nutrition is NOT bioavailable to our dogs, cats or ferrets!
So, why aren't all those commercial fed dogs and cats dead already? Because the manufacturers ADD broken-down already supplements to their food. Of course, they also add some other "interesting" things too.
The second link, I especially love. The writer is not for or against Raw feeding. He was simply doing research on the facts surrounding Commercially produced Pet food for his LEGAL paper at Harvard University! This is not a short read. However, you maybe surprised at what this guy uncovered in his search for the truth WE never hear about, as to what, exactly can be in our dog's food.
That is not to say that there are some things to learn...if you want to feed a Species Appropriate Raw Diet...
Cats need to mostly eat RED MEATS, beef, pork, deer. Feeding your cat or kitten almost nothing but chicken, is NOT a healthy, proper meat diet. They need Taurine and that's only found in Red meats! http://www.vetlord.org/taurine-is-essential-for-cats/
AVMA → Delta Society → Purina Petcare
At the end of the formal AVMA policy linked above, there is a statement about the resolution which says in part:
"At its spring 2011 meeting, the Council on Public Health and Regulatory Veterinary Medicine (CPHRVM), drafted a new policy to address an issue brought to its attention by Animal Welfare Division staff and the Delta Society (a non-profit organization that works with companion animals for animal assisted therapy, service animals, and other volunteers). Having a policy specific to raw diets and associated public health concerns, the Delta Society inquired if AVMA had a related policy."
More than a few raw feeders and others interested in the issue of species-appropriate pet nutrition are questioning the Delta Society (now called Pet Partners) link.
I published an article two years ago when Delta Society banned raw fed pets -- and any pet living in a home with raw fed pets -- from its highly regarded Pet Partners therapy program. It was an unanticipated move that stunned Delta's membership, affiliates and raw pet food enthusiasts across the U.S.
In researching possible explanations for this ill-advised decision, I uncovered a few clues:
On the home page of the Delta Society (Pet Partners) website you will find the following sentiment: "Thank you to our incredible partner, the passionate pet lovers at Purina." It's a safe bet the Purina logo is prominently featured on other Delta Society/Pet Partners marketing materials as well.
On the Delta Society's Board of Directors, you'll find Purina's Marketing Director.
In the Delta Society Medical Advisory Group, you'll find member Dr. Deborah S. Greco, DVM, PhD, DACVIM, of Nestle Purina Petcare in St. Louis, Missouri.
In 2008, Purina gave the Delta Society $400,000 – the largest grant ever received by the organization.
On the Purina One website, you'll find their marketing position on "Why You Shouldn't Feed Your Pet Raw Meat".
Clearly, Delta Society/Pet Partners is influenced by Nestle Purina. And according to the AVMA, Delta Society is one of two organizations that brought the "issue" of raw feeding to their attention, prompting the about-to-be-voted-on formal resolution against raw feeding.
To learn the truth about Raw Diets feel free to check out this group where you'll find about 25,000 people worldwide, who feed Raw. Some have been doing it for the past 10 to 50 YEARS. None of them stand to profit by what YOU choose to feed your animals.
The biggest problem with food - both for humans and animals - is the way it is processed. Meat and milk are dangerous to consume raw because of e-coli and other harmful bacteria. Hundreds of dairy cows and chickens, pigs and cattle are handled in a very fast manner. Regardless of whether you are opposed to factory farms or not, the huge number of animals and the sheer speed of these operations results in less than sanitary conditions. And if just one animal is sick, the entire food supply is contaminated because milk, ground meat, and the by-products in commercial pet food are mixed together. So the problem with raw food boils down to modern food processing.
Wow ... it's disturbing that the ASPCA is publishing such disinformation. I guess they, too, have been bought by Big Pet Food! My donations to the ASPCA will stop until they become more enlightened. And, by the way, my dogs are thriving on raw, dehydrated, and freeze-dried food - no way will I subject them to overprocessed kibble that is little more than meat-flavored crap.
The most telling thing about this article is that it makes no mention of the dangers of the typical commercial kibble, mainstream brands such as Pedigree and Purina. The main ingredient in those foods is GM corn, and many contain gluten. Dogs digestive systems are not equipped to digest those things, and they both cause allergic reactions and cause dogs to develop new allergies to other things they eat. Commercial food also contains industrial waste products. Their packages would lead you to believe that they are formulated for ideal nutrition because they conform to AAFCO's pathetic standards, but they are actually formulated for maximum convenience and lowest cost to manufacture. That is why they have so many times been found to contain contaminated ingredients from China. How many times have there been recalls on commercial food because it was making dogs sick, and how many dogs have been made sick by a raw food diet? ASPCA clearly knows which side its bread is buttered on, and it makes me angry that people will trust this article because in most other respects ASPCA is a good advocate for animals.
The people saying that dogs' nutritional needs are different from wolves lack a clear understanding of evolutionary biology. Dogs share 98% of their DNA with wolves. Zoologists actually consider domestic dogs to be a subspecies of the gray wolf, one of 27. Domestic dogs have only existed for about 15,000 years, and the gray wolf dates from the Middle Pleistocene Era, which ended 126,000 years ago. Most of the differences between the subspecies are merely cosmetic. Dogs' digestive systems evolved to process raw meat, entrails, bones, skin and fur, and that is what fulfills their nutritional needs. Most of the plant matter that a wolf consumes is the partially digested contents of the digestive tracts of its herbivorous prey. The first thing they eat from a fresh kill are the organs - liver, heart and kidneys.
Wolves' and dogs' short digestive tracts make them especially resistant to common bacteria such as e. coli, which is found in the intestines of most warm-blooded animals and is mostly non-pathenogenic anyway. However, I would be cautious about feeding factory-farmed meat to a dog raw, because most of those animals are diseased and often carry mutated, resistant strains of bacteria (because of the over-use of antibiotics), the ones that have been causing so many disease outbreaks in humans. I would hope that the commercially prepared raw food brands are getting their meat from somewhere other than the typical factory sources. I would think that at the very least, game meats such as rabbit and venison would be safe. Also, any raw meat that you give your dog should be accompanied by bones or egg shells as a source of calcium. Frozen raw dog foods typically have bone meal mixed in. Dogs need calcium to balance out the phosphorus in the meat. So if you're just tossing your dog a raw steak every night, no, that is not healthy because it is not a well-balanced diet. Your dog's diet requires a little more thought than that.
Crap! Do you know what arguement people in my country have relating to raw feeding? Your pet can catch something...ummm...something...the vet said...it's bad you know!
If it were bad then raw feeding owners wouldn't have cats and dogs that outlived their breed's expectancy. While on the other side there are commercial feeding owners whose pets die young, obese and a slow agonizing death, so agonizing that they have to euthanize them so that they won't suffer as much. I have a family background of hunters, who fed their dogs animal intestines and bones all of their lives and they lived up to 18-20 years. My friends have cats which are fed on kibble, hell, my cat was once fed on kibble and he was obese and unable to even clean himself, how is that for a "healthy" cat?
But this is a no end arguement. No matter how many proof there is in favor of raw feeding, there will always be people who think it's best to feed kibble and crap.
However, ASPCA espousing the idea that they are dangerous is VERY dangerous, and is going to prompt me to cancel my ASPCA Guardian membership. How much did Purina donate to you to get you to say this? The supermarket dog food giants pump nothing but corn, soy, wheat and meat by-product that humans wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole into our pets. Do your own research and do not buy into the idea that feeding a quality, home-prepared (raw or otherwise) diet is unsafe. If you can't prepare at home or are uncomfortable feeding all raw, you can supplement a high quality (I prefer grain-free) kibble with raw meaty bones (raw chicken backs, raw turkey necks, raw marrow bones -- these are FANTASTIC for your dogs). Your dogs and cats need real meat to be truly healthy and happy.
My family doctor does not suggest what I eat, as he is not a nutritionist ... Why are vets, who have little or no training other than from (Big Pharma Kibble Company) being accepted as authorities on this subject??? It is all scare tactics, use your common sense people, and feed your pets appropriatly!!!

Kennedy Scores Three; Defense Stands Tall as Women's Lacrosse Beats Bloomsburg 7-5
March 11, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer Universitys Jessica Kennedy notched a hat trick as the Lady Falcons flew past the Bloomsburg Huskies 7-5 in non-conference womens lacrosse action on Thursday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. Pfeiffer improves to 6-1 overall while the Huskies suffer their first loss dropping to 2-1.
Bloomsburg tallied the first two goals of the contest at 23:06 and 19:28 to grab an early 2-0 advantage. Samantha Mazzie (Barto, PA) found Kim Springman (Downingtown, PA) in front of the net for the first strike, while Samantha King (Elkton, MD) scored unassisted three and a half minutes later.
The Lady Falcons bounced back with a pair of man-up goals to square the contest at two as Kennedy registered her first from Tory Binder (Woodstock, MD) before Shannon Bonnel (Mechanicsville, MD) assisted on the game-tying goal by Liz Melesh (Annapolis, MD). Kennedy hit again with 2:23 to go in the half, in front of Bloomsburgs Amber Shifflett (Pasadena, MD), before Springman found the back of the net with seven seconds left in the frame, knotting the contest at 4-4 just before the intermission.
To start the second half, Kennedy put home the only free position tally of the day to send the Lady Falcons up 5-4 at the 25:30 point of the second.
Allie Gamble (Easton, MD) scored six minutes later on a helper from Alex Cook (Commack, NY) in front of Kennedy assisting on a Binder score. To avoid the second half blanking, King notched her second of the day from Allie Kakareka (Royersford, PA).
On defense, Amanda Smith (Leesburg, VA) helped the Lady Falcons secure the win with six groundballs and five caused turnovers. Huskies goalkeeper Shelby Iezzi (Pottstown, PA) recorded eight saves in net to go along with her eight groundballs.
Pfeiffer will have a few days off before heading down to Florida for a pair of contest. The Lady Falcons will take on Franklin Pierce on Thursday before Rollins on Saturday. Both contests will be played in Winter Park, FL at Rollins College.

SPRINGFIELD – Lung cancer, especially in its advanced stages, is still very difficult to treat. The good news is that advances in molecular genetics are resulting in new "designer therapies" which are offering greater hope for lung cancer patients who are told they have an incurable disease.
"The advances in combating lung cancer that we are seeing now are a direct result of the Human Genome Project. The key to the future is going to be these personalized, directed therapies, where we look at a patient's tumor, or the words I use among colleagues is interrogating or investigating tissue taken during biopsy, to identify already known gene mutations that alter the basic backbone of cellular life," said
Dr. Christopher Otis, director, Surgical Pathology at Baystate Medical Center.
It is precisely these molecular mutations which are the target of these new
designer therapies that are offering some patients a chance at a longer life expectancy after diagnosis. And it is the pathologist in the laboratory looking at tissue taken by radiologists during a core biopsy, who are key to identifying specific cell types and any molecular or genetic changes in them that will help oncologists to make important decisions regarding the most effective treatment for their patients. It's what some doctors are now referring to as "personalized medicine."
The three common gene mutations that have been identified in lung cancers so far are EGFR, KRAS, and ALK.
"We have custom-designed, molecular therapies for two of these mutations that target the altered proteins that come off this altered DNA, effectively shutting them down for a time and stopping the cancer cells from multiplying," said Dr. Otis.
While promising for those who have mutations in the EGFR and ALK genes -
there is no drug yet designed for KRAS – only a small fraction of patients with lung cancer have these mutations that can be effectively targeted with new therapies. However, the Baystate pathologist said he expects treatment for simply the three main mutations to expand by a much greater magnitude over the years.
"The way I see this happening is that those three main mutations we have identified will expand slowly to 12, then over the course of time will expand again to 100, then 1,000 and even 10,000 and more in the future. Along with that expansion will come an increase in therapies to benefit our patients. Some will be drugs that are already approved for use in other cancers, while other new designer therapies, some already in experimental use now, will have to be developed," said Dr. Otis.
"Our next challenge will be to learn why the cells we are attacking eventually develop a resistance to these new designer drugs and how we can counteract that process," he added.
The facts speak for themselves. Ninety percent of lung caners occur in smokers.
Today, despite the fact there are fewer smokers, lung cancer remains the #1 cause of cancer deaths in the United States, killing more men and women each year than colon, breast, and prostate cancer combined. Still 10 percent of people diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked. However, a very small number of people have no risk factors. The majority of people in that 10 percent category have been exposed to second-hand smoke, radon gas, asbestos or other chemicals or pollution.
A big proponent against smoking who has actively worked in prevention efforts with teenagers, Dr. Gary Hochheiser, chief of thoracic surgery at Baystate Medical Center, said treatment of lung cancer remains difficult due to a number of factors including the relative aggressiveness of most lung cancers.
"The mainstay of treatment continues to be surgery, but is only possible if the disease is found at an early stage," said Dr. Hochheiser.
"We have learned over the last 10 years that we can combine treatment to include surgery with chemotherapy and radiation to improve cure rates for those with early stage lung cancer, those whose tumors have grown larger, and others whose lung cancer has spread locally, but not to other areas of the body," said oncologist Dr. John McCann of the Baystate Regional Cancer Program.
According to the Baystate surgeon, minimally invasive surgical techniques have
helped to reduce risk by decreasing complication rates, speeding recovery, and offering less post-operative pain for the patient. These newer methods, which Dr. Hochheiser performs, include thoracoscopic or VATS (Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery), as well as more recently introduced robotic surgical technology.
"Perhaps the most important aspect of lung cancer care is the availability of a multidisciplinary team for evaluation and treatment. We bring together a team that includes members of many different disciplines at Baystate, including surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, pulmonologists and radiologists who meet and review all aspects of a patient with lung cancer. The end result is the development of a plan of action that follows accepted guidelines and that allows for personalization of available treatments to benefit the patient's individual scenario," said Dr. Hochheiser.
Surprisingly, while lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in the country, unlike many other cancers such as breast and colon cancer, there are currently no recommendations for screening. Now, because of the greater hope for those diagnosed with early stage lung cancer, the medical community on a national level is looking into possible screenings for high risk individuals, so they can be identified earlier and treated before their cancer spreads.
Looking ahead to the future, Dr. McCann said medicine still has a long way to go before there is a cure for lung cancer.
"The bottom line is that we are getting better at controlling advanced lung cancer which had a life-expectancy of four to six months back in the 1990s. It is still very short, but today we can extend that to greater than one year for some patients. More importantly, a growing but still small group of patients are getting substantially longer benefits from these treatments. Our hope is that these newer treatments for advanced cancer will also translate into improved cure rates for patients with earlier stage lung cancers," he said.

I have purchased only three plug-ins for my Apollo, and this one is the best. I'd been waiting for it to come down in price. As a hobbyist, I am pretty stingy with plug-in money. This was well worth the cost though (discounted by December sale, and then with a coupon to boot). I am having great fun with this. When tweaked down a bit, to remove some of the wobbly, there is less fun, but such room for my sounds. Makes a piano sound like its from another planet, yet warm enough to want to wade into the sound while soaking in a warm bath.
In 80-th I used Roland RE-2o1 Space Echo with my Mini Moog on stage. Oh! It was fantastic setup! Many last years I dreamed about it. Now it's really possible with RE-201 UAD plug-in. Thank you, Universal Audio.!!!
One of the best chorus plug-ins around...does not make the signal weaker, instead if used at minimum settings it fattens up pads, synths, guitars, bass...
I really didn't expect to get very excited about this plugin, I mean, it's a Chorus.
That was until I tossed it on my bass track, so sweet, nicest sounding chorus I have ever used. Then I tried it parallel on a drum mix just for the hell of it, mind blown, gorgeous, silly, and very cool.
This is probably the most fun I have had with any plugin, get it, you'll thank me later!
This a such a beautiful sounding plugin , Another must have
This is such a phenomenal chorus plugin. I am a HUGE "stereo image freak." This plugin just gives a special swirling stereo width to almost any source material. I've used it on mixes for various artists in different genres, from Enrique Iglesias, to Boyz II Men, to J. Balvin, and many more. It NEVER disappoints! Amazing effect.
This is a must have for guitarists and bassists.Sounds and behaves just like the vintage pedal.
Killin' re-creation. Beautiful Sound, Analog Vibe, Delicious!
The Dimension D plugin doesn't do a lot of things, but what it does do is simply amazing. Set the plugin up as a Send and dial in as much (or as little) as you want.
If you have two mono sources like acoustic guitar and voice, put the guitar through the Dimension D plugin to give the song instant stereo width. I use this plugin on literally every song I mix.
Couldn't be more pleased, I always used the Dim D on my mixes back in the 80s and 90s and feel very 'at home' having it in my system again.
Phil Harding
I was really skeptical of using this instead of the box, it is so close that I actually prefer using this on my Rhodes so I'm not stuck with the recorded chorus on track. It's a great near perfect emulation
Roland Classic Series FX Bundle is a true classic that Rival Music is happy to be adopting. RE-201 is bringing retro flavor and it is awesome!
Universal Audio plug-in is vere nice Roland CE-1 Plug-In
...Oh, and the occasional crackles I get from my hardware unit are gone too :) And now I get to use multiple instances of it. Adds fairy dust to synths, organs and backing vocals like little else does. Highly recommended.
I had the original pedal in the nineties and recklessly sold it. Well, I have it back, and multiple instances of it. The UA plugin sounds just as good (without the noise), has the beautifully subdued highs of the original and its perfect for backing vocals, vibraphone and electric pianos. In parallel it can add extra body and dimension to just about anything!
just like the old school boss chorus pedals i used when i first started playing the guitar
great chorus...works awesome in Aux/Send mode as well as insert
get this thing now!
Great sounding chorus. My only beef is that I can't insert it in the input channel when I want a very subtle effect. With the intensity and output controls turned all the way down it's still too much. So I'm forced to use it on an aux bus. Same issue with the Roland Dimension D chorus which doesn't have output control.
this is the most acurate chorus sound Ive ever heard
only missing a wet-dry, but its ok
It's the little magic, which I needed! Works great on almost everything!
If you want something to get noticed in the mix this will do it ,,,,, I been putting it in an effect loop to blend it . If I had a mix control knob I would insert it on a channel . Its a lot different than your average Chorus effect

MEBANE — Zack Littell had been feeling the effects of a stomach virus since Thursday morning when he took the mound Friday night against Union Pines.
Perhaps he should make every start while feeling sick.
Littell fired a one-hitter and the host Eagles came up with enough hits to beat Union Pines 3-0 in the first round of the Class 3-A state playoffs for baseball.
The Eagles (16-9) advance to a second-round game at Gray's Creek, which defeated Ledford 5-2.
"Through the first probably four innings I was fine and that may have been adrenaline," Littell said after the game. "By the fifth inning it started to come on and I didn't feel real well. And it's gotten worse since then."
The senior showed no ill signs on the mound, allowing two baserunners — a hit batter in the first inning that was erased with a pickoff and a two-out single in the fourth by Jeffery Thompson.
Littell's gem ended with eight strikeouts and no walks. In fact, Littell only went to a 3-ball count once and needed 69 pitches to complete the game. He started 16 of 19 batters with strikes.
"I knew that if we got a couple runs up on the board, Zack would do his job on the mound," said Eagles first baseman Ridge Eaton. "If we get a couple runs every time he pitches, we know we have it safe."
Littell even battled through an appeal by Union Pines coach Chad Hill during the third inning. During what was a little more than a five-minute break, it was determined that Littell would have to adjust where he started his windup.
"They wanted me to put two feet on the rubber. I knew it was the rule, I was waiting on an umpire to call me out on it and a coach that's smart enough to realize it," Littell said. "I usually start with one foot on the rubber and they wanted two feet on.
"I like to start on the side because I generally like to throw across my body. I've always started off with one foot on the rubber, (Friday) night they just made me move back over."
Instead of throwing Littell off his rhythm, the break in action served to provide more motivation for his senior righty.
"It didn't do anything but fire him up a little bit more," said Eagles coach Randy Ballard. "Zack is just good enough to say, 'Give me the ball, here it is.' He had a hell of a night."
Littell's run support came in the third inning when Eaton bashed a single down the third-base line, driving in Cody Curry and Littell.
"(It was) a knuckleball. I just sat back on it and took it to left field," Eaton said of the hit.
The Eagles added another run later in the inning when a sacrifice bunt by Blake Walters scored Eaton.
While Ballard wasn't overly pleased with his team's offensive output — seven singles without an extra-base hit — he was encouraged that five of the hits came in two-strike counts.
"I couldn't ask for anything more from my kids with two strikes," Ballard said. "We changed our approach and got a lot of good (contact) on it."
That was all the support Littell needed, who was the losing pitcher in the deciding Game 3 of last season's East Regional finals against Pikeville Aycock.
While he said he hasn't avoided thinking about the way last season ended, Littell wasn't dwelling on the past during Friday night's game.
"It's our goal to make it that far again and if not farther, so it's in the back of your mind," Littell said. "But not (Friday) night while I was throwing and not before the game. I was focused on this game and we'll just take it one game at a time."

It is what has to be the worst position to be in as an NFL Draft prospect – the position of uncertainty.
That is where West Craven alumnus and University of North Carolinaproduct Erik Highsmith is.
Highsmith has done all he can do to leading up to this weekend's draft.
He worked out in Floridaagainst elite competition, like Pro-Bowl safety Eric Berry of the Kansas City Chiefs, played in senior all-star games and worked out on his Pro Day at UNC.
Now, all Highsmith can do is sit back and wait.
He doesn't care whether he goes north, south or west, just as long as he goes.
"I'll just be hanging out with my friends and family, probably do a cookout or something at my uncle's house back home," Highsmith said.
"I'm preparing myself for the worst, but hoping for the best, and obviously that I get drafted. The team or city doesn't matter to me one bit."
Highsmith's problem isn't that he's not fast enough or good enough for the NFL. He's in a draft that is loaded with potential game-breakers and future stars at the wide receiver position - something he can't control.
Highsmith is currently ranked as the 30th best receiver available by NFL.com.
At his Pro Day in late March, Highsmith ran a 4.56 40-yard dash, a 3-cone drill time of 6.83, posted a vertical leap of 34.5 inches and ran a 4.43 in the 20-yard shuttle.
Where his 40-time hurts him, his leaping ability, excellent route-running and exceptional hands help him.
"There is just so much wide receiver talent in this draft that it's tough," Highsmith said.
"I just want a chance. I've always been the underdog, so that's fine with me."
Highsmith also said that after his workout on Pro Day, that scouts and coaches complimented him on his route-running skills.
However, should Highsmith not get picked, he has an idea of his next course of action.
"I've talked to quite a few teams about trying out and all, but I'm staying hopeful that I get picked and won't have to worry about it."
With ultra-talented playmakers like West Virginia's duo of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, Clemson's DeAndre Hopkins, TexasA&M's Ryan Swope, USC's Robert Woods and Tennessee's duo of Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson all predicted to go early by many, Highsmith said he won't take it too personally.
"I won't be writing down the names of the guys that were picked before me, nothing like that," Highsmith laughed.
"I'll just be focused on whatever team drafts me and do my best job possible for them."

National team competitions
22-18, 17-20, 15-15, 17-13
Joensunn Kataja fell one point short of booking a place in the EuroChallenge Last 16 as they edged out Group B rivals Keravnos 71-66.
Kataja rallied with a 9-0 run to the finish, earning them a victory which denied Keravnos qualification on the night, but Kataja needed to win by six points or more to make the place theirs.
Instead, the battle will now to go the final night of group action next week.
Kataja might look at the final score and see it as being agonisingly close, but given the spot they were in with two minutes left in the game, they should be happy to still be alive at all.
Any win would have seen Keravnos join Krasnye Krylia in the next round, and they were looking good when Lawrence Kinnard's dunk put them up 66-62 with 2:10 left to go.
But those would prove to be their final points of the night.
Petri Virtanen was fouled attempting a three and hit all his free throws to make it a one-point game, and Jerald Fields then hit a jump-shot to put Kataja on top.
The turnovers and misses were mounting for Keravnos and Kataja kept on taking advantage, with Fields closing it out from the free-throw line as he hit four more in the final 52 seconds.
Keravnos had started the better of the two teams, but two three-pointers from Antti Kanervo highlighted an 18-2 run that turned a 16-9 Kataja deficit into a 27-18 lead in the second quarter.
Kataja would lead most of the way from there, but Keravnos kept it close to the finish.
Fields led Kataja with 19 points while Jermaine Flowers had 16 and Kanervo 11.
Bobby Maze led Keravnos with 25 points while Andre Owens added 13.
Kataja head coach Jukka Toijala"A great win for us. Even though we didn't get the six-point-win that would have secured the position for the next round, we still have an excellent chance to qualify. We ended the first half badly and due to Johnell Smith's injury we seemed to have lost our focus for a while. I have to give a credit to our team to not give up even though we were down by a couple of points only two minutes to go in the game."
Kataja point guard Petri Virtanen"I have seen many kind of games, but this is certainly one of the best come-backs I've seen. We didn't give up and played smartly in the last posessions."
Keravnos head coach Panagiotis Yiannaras"First of all congrats to Kataja. I think that we played most of the game a bit better than the opponent team but after some tough calls and some turnovers this is how it ended up. Still we don't know who's going to qualify so the table is still open."
Keravnos power forward Lawrence Kinnard"We had our up and downs, and overall couldn't execute our game plan well enough."

22 February 1937
Dear Sir Walter,
I am enclosing a first list of men in the International Brigade who are members of Trade Unions, or of the Labour Party, with their dependants.
The total disbursements according [to] this list are about £70 weekly.
There were, however, about 150 men absent from the British Battalion when this list was compiled, on service at another part of the Front. When particulars relating to them can be obtained, I will forward them to you. Their claims will not bring the total above £90 or round about that figure.
It turns out that this total is
