Ailing pets getting hyperbaric chamber treatment
Tuesday - 2/26/2013, 10:55am EST
Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Hyperbaric chambers have been used for decades to treat divers with the bends, burn victims and people with traumatic injuries, but in Florida and a handful of other states they're increasingly being used on ailing pets.
Doctors at the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine have recently used an oxygen chamber on dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits and one monkey.
Veterinarian and professor Justin Shmalberg said the capsule has been used to treat animals that have been bitten by rattlesnakes, hit by cars and those with infected wounds, among other things.
"Any place we have swelling of tissue, we oftentimes are thinking about the hyperbaric chamber as something we could do to decrease that," he said.
Shmalberg said the chamber's high-pressure atmosphere of pure oxygen appears to help reduce swelling and aid healing time. He added that the school will begin clinical trials this summer to determine how - or even if - the hyperbaric chamber really is effective in speeding recoveries and healing animals.
There is little research on hyperbaric treatments and pets, although veterinarians who use the chambers note that most of the research for human hyperbaric treatments comes from trials done on rabbits and rats.
"We want to make sure there's really good science behind it," said Dr. Diane Levitan, who owns Peace Love Pets Veterinary Care in Commack, N.Y. "It's not a panacea. There are specific reasons why this is helpful."
Levitan has a hyperbaric chamber in her practice and is writing an article for a veterinary journal on the treatment. Like Shmalberg, she has seen an improved rate of healing for certain conditions such as herniated discs, abscesses and even post-radiation swelling.
In humans, insurance companies will pay for hyperbaric treatment for several conditions, including carbon monoxide poisoning, crush injuries and bone marrow infections, among other things. Some insurance companies won't pay for hyperbaric treatment for wounds or ulcers, saying that it's an "unproven" therapy -- but some people swear by the treatment and seek out private clinics.
It's the same with pet owners; veterinarians with oxygen chambers say that people with sick pets often will often research the treatment and request it after becoming familiar with it through human medicine.
"It is a very new modality for treatment in veterinary medicine," said Dr. Andrew Turkell of Calusa Veterinary Center in Boca Raton.
The devices used by UF, Levitan and Turkell are about the size of a loveseat and are manufactured in Florida by a Boca Raton company named Hyperbaric Veterinary Medicine. Turkell was the first doctor to sign a contract with Hyperbaric Veterinary Medicine, and estimates that he's used the chamber 750-800 times in the past year and a half.
"I find that it's really very effective for any kind of trauma," he said, adding that he's seen improvements in pets that have been hit by cars that have been subsequently treated in the chamber.
Wayne McCullough, the company's CEO, said that most veterinary offices can't afford to buy the capsules outright -- chambers for humans cost between $50,000 and $150,000 each -- so the company gives the clinics the chambers and then receives a cut on each treatment done by the veterinarian. At the UF clinic, treatment costs about $125 per session.
McCullough said that his employees deliver and train veterinarians on how to use the capsule. Working with 100 percent oxygen can be dangerous, which is why pets going inside the chamber are patted down with water before the treatment so their fur doesn't conduct static electricity and cause a fire.
In 2012, the high-oxygen chamber of a Florida equine sports medicine center exploded and caused part of a building to collapse, killed a worker and the horse inside the chamber.
The machine that exploded wasn't one of McCullough's chambers; it was a larger contraption made for horses. The horse inside the chamber apparently struck the side of the machine with its foot, which caused the spark and fire. It underscored the potential danger of the capsules.
Dr. Dorie Amour, the director of Emory University's wound care clinic, suggested that hyperbaric therapy in pets be a last-resort treatment. It "has to be a therapy used when there is no alternative. Or a therapy used for a very serious problem for which there hasn't been a solution."
Pet owners such as Mike Ray, the owner of Maggie, an 11-year-old dachshund with a gaping wound and recurring infection in her back paw, say they're willing to give it a try -- and spend the extra money to do so at the University of Florida animal hospital.

Very nice product! Simple to install and use. Keeps my iTouch very secure. I am wondering if you sell a longer strap for some of the newer "bigger" phones (iPhone 6+)?

Mark, you'll be happy to know that the HandleBand is flexible enough to work with the new phones on the market, including the iPhone 6+

LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! I have been looking for something that would hold my Galaxy S4 that was in an Otterbox case..and this holds it securely and where I can see it!
Many other phone holders I tried needed to have my phone out of the Otterbox...and since I use my bike for transportation, including biking to work, I'm on my bike alot.
This is fitting the bill.

Chamber Theatre blossoms again with lighthearted 'Jeeves in Bloom'
Given the miserable spring we've been having, I probably don't need to explain the appeal of a play titled "Jeeves in Bloom," the second of Margaret Raether's three stage adaptations of the P.G. Wodehouse stories and novels featuring Bertie Wooster's ever-capable valet.
Under Tami Workentin's direction, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre produced the first of these light comedies, with Matt Daniels as Jeeves, in 2010. In "Bloom," Workentin again directs and Daniels returns as Jeeves. The remaining characters and actors are all new, as is the setting. »Read Full Article

Today is World Water Day (WWD) and it is time to engage and inspire everyone to conserve a colourless and odour less but precious thing called water. WWD is observed every year to focus the attention of people on the importance of freshwater and to promote sustainable management of freshwater resources.
The international observance of WWDay is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro.
The United Nations General Assembly designated 22 March of each year as the World Day for Water by adopting a resolution.
This world day for water was to be observed starting in 1993, in conformity with the recommendations of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. From then on WWD is celebrated every year with a new theme highlighting an explicit aspect of freshwater. And, for 2010, the theme is "Clean Water for a Healthy World".
India has wealth of water resources and there are 12 major rivers whose total catchment area is 252.8 million hectare. Of these, the Ganga-Brahmaputra Meghana system is the biggest with an area of about 110 M.Ha which is more than 43 per cent of the catchment area of all the major rivers in the country. However, even to this day, one in every eight persons does not have access for pure water despite spending hours.
In rural areas, women and children collect water from distant resources. Hence, WWD gives us opportunity to remember our commitment to achieve the day when everyone in the world can have safe drinking water.

Launches hospitality program in the company of the industry's who's who.
During a speech this morning at the PhoCusWright travel industry conference in Miami, LivingSocial CEO Tim O'Shaughnessy (pictured) announced his company's Instant Escapes product, which will offer last-minute weekend hospitality packages. Moments later, TravelZoo CEO Chris Loughlin grilled O'Shaughnessy on whether he had ample funding for his continued expansions and if the daily deals business was profitable.
O'Shaughnessy didn't budge on the privately held company's financials. The tension between the two execs seemed indicative of how competitive the digital travel industry has become, and suggested established travel services don't necessarily welcome the LivingSocials and Groupons of the world.
"It's become increasingly hard to stand out in the pack [among] travel brands," O'Shaughnessy said during his keynote.
Loughlin later said, "You said earlier there isn't a travel company sending out an email on Wednesday for [vacation packages] that weekend. I can think of at least one."
Washington, DC-based LivingSocial will offer hotels, bed and breakfasts, and other nearby-vacation/"staycation" providers the chance to sell vacant weekend inventory only a few days before. The deals will be made available via subscriber emails, a tab on LivingSocial's mobile app, and on the firm's website.
An example of a this-weekend-only deal being offered today through Saturday: $265 per night for a room at The Hudson Hotel in New York City, including WiFi, late check-out, and continental breakfast for two. According to LivingSocial, the deal is normally worth $529.
Instant Escapes builds on the company's Escapes vacations product that was launched in November 2010. LivingSocial says Escapes has sold almost 600,000 room nights at 800 properties worldwide.
The firm continues to expand vigorously, debuting two other beta products just a couple of days ago. It unveiled a digital restaurant ordering system for food pick-ups and delivery that directly competes with Seamless. And it announced Room Service, a so-called white-glove delivery program that will pair LivingSocial with fine dining establishments.
LivingSocial's other discount programs are Daily Deals, Instant Deals, Adventures, and Families. O'Shaughnessy said his four-year-old brand has 4,000 employees worldwide.
The company's expansions indicate the arms race with Groupon and Google Offers will continue. And it's assured that niche digital marketers will keep an eye on any new encroachments by the deals players - especially if keynoting their industry events becomes a regular occurrence.
O'Shaughnessy announced his new travel product today before not only TravelZoo's Loughlin, but also execs from Expedia, HomeAway, MakeMyTrip.com, and Booking.com - a Priceline.com-owned company.

COLUMBUS � One yard. How do you turn a 1-yard run into a highlight video?
If you�re Braxton Miller, you can do it.
Ohio State�s quarterback has made many memorable, sometimes unbelievable plays in his two seasons as the Buckeyes� starter.
They began with his scrambling game-winning 40-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith in the final minute to beat Wisconsin his freshman year.
Last season, he had a 65-yard touchdown run against Miami of Ohio where he put a dazzling stutter step on the last defender between him and the end zone. He made two defenders miss badly on his way to a 55-yard TD run against California and had a 72-yard non-scoring run against Nebraska where he left several frustrated defenders flailing behind him.
But it is a 1-yard touchdown run against Penn State last season that is the ultimate Miller play. So far, at least.
With OSU at Penn State�s 1-yard line, Miller started to hand off to tailback Carlos Hyde, but with a defender already in Hyde�s face, he kept the ball, stepped to his right, stepped back to avoid a tackle, then dived over the goal line for a touchdown.
He is the undisputed leader in the Big Ten in creating video highlights. But it wasn�t until recently that he added being a team leader to what he does.
Miller has always been humble, OSU coach Urban Meyer says. But now he is mixing in some heat with the humility.
�He has changed a lot as far as his demeanor, as far as his approach toward other people, as far as his leadership,� Meyer said at the Big Ten Football Media Days last week. �But what hasn�t changed is his humble approach.�
A few days after Ohio State�s spring game, offensive coordinator Tom Herman talked about how Miller doesn�t fit the expected off-field profile of a big-time quarterback.
�This is a first for me. Usually at that position there has always been kind of an alpha male attitude a little bit. But Braxton is the best player on the football field and you wouldn�t know it if he was walking next to you in the hallway,� Herman said.
Miller acknowledges he is becoming more of a vocal leader. ��You always look at the quarterback to lead the team,� he said.
After a 12-0 season last year, where Ohio State fans expect Miller to lead this year�s team is to a national championship.
Easy to say. Not as easy to do. Ohio State would probably have to go undefeated again to win the national title.
If the Buckeyes do raise the big trophy over their heads at the end of the season, that would mean they were on a 26-game winning streak. The school record is 22 wins in a row.
That kind of season could also make Miller one of the top candidates for the Heisman Trophy race after finishing fifth in the voting last season.
Miller downplayed the Heisman talk, saying �It�s a blessing to be in the same talk as Archie (Griffin), Eddie (George) and Troy (Smith). It�s unbelievable where I was, where I was in high school and where I am now.�
But when he was asked where his trophies from growing up and from high school at Huber Height Wayne are, he said his parents have a room in their house where they are displayed.
�There�s a lot of stuff. But there�s a lot of room for more,� he said.
Meyer�s theme for getting a lot more out of this year�s team after last year�s undefeated run is to label the season as �The Chase.� As in chasing perfection, chasing a Big Ten title and chasing a national title.
To reach those goals, Miller will have to leave defenders chasing him from behind again.
Unlike his decision to become more of a leader, not all of those sprints to the end zone are planned. He admits that sometimes even he can�t explain why or how he made a move to make a defender miss.
�When it�s go time, I feel like a different person. I feel like that beast is going to come out when I walk down that tunnel,� he said.

The Latino influence helped make ska a major subculture in Anglo L.A. proper, catapulting bands from No Doubt to Sublime. Although not as centrally important now as it was for the first wave of Rock en Español bands, ska is a loose organizing principle that unites bands from California to Panama and throughout the Caribbean archipelago. As documented on 199798 compilations on the Aztlan (Puro Eskañol) and Grita! (Skaliente) labels, Cali Rock en Español bands like Voodoo Glow Skulls, Los Skarnales, and Las 15 Letras are attracted to reggae and punk, two genres that when combined can sound like nor teño, cumbia, and, at breakneck velocity, ska itself. The same musical logic can be applied to recent releases by L.A.'s Viva Malpache and Panama's Los Rabanes.
Malpache grew directly out of the same multiculti, hybrid-happy music scene that produced Ozomatli, a Chicano-Black-Asian-Jewish band that plays basic Latin beats like merengue, cumbia, and norteño for the salsa-oriented Chicano mosh pit. A native of the Dominican Republic with roots in the New York area, Malpache lead singer Giovanny Blanco experienced culture shock when he crashed an East L.A. new wave Chicano party where the DJ spun the Cure as easily as Los Tigres del Norte.
Malpache's jokingly titled debut CD, Los Greatest Hits de ¡Viva Mal pache!, came together when Blanco, who intended to sing in English when he got to L.A., answered an ad in the legendary local zine La Banda Elastica. His bandmates are Chicano and Nicaraguan, and his bass player, Alan Lee, polished his chops in Hong Kong. The CD has the feel of a bar band trying to bring its Mexican wrestler mask cum bohemian barrio lover persona into the studio. "Hey Santera" is a drunken ska encounter with a mystic priestess; "El Mandamas" a classic "we may be busboys and gardeners now, but our day will come" Chicano punk snarl. The undisguised punk-ska reworking of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me" riff doesn't detract from "Pan con Mayonesa" as a gangster love song.
Malpache reach their peak on the rock-reggae ballad "Ella," a paean to a flowery punk chica explicitly com pared in the lyrics to rock goddess Andrea Echeverri of Colombia's Atercio pelados. Not the sort of woman Latin love songs usually lionizethough a similar thriftshop babe gets serenaded in Los Rabanes All Star's "Oh! mi Raquel," a three-chord 'banger with a rub-a-dub break. Sarcastic about sex, flaunting a full-bore horn section, and barreling along at a Ramones-like pace, the Panamanian punks' second effort Volumen II is more raucously sure of itself than Malpache. Rabanes is a pet project of Ruben Bladés, who adds harmonic depth and star credibility to the chorus of "De Colores," a loud-fast-rules merengue-rock version of "La Bamba."
Latin-American ska, first manifested by Mexican bands like Maldita Vecindad and Café Tacuba, as well as Venezuela's Desorden Publico and Argentina's Los Fabulosos Cadillacs (whose bassist Flavio Cianciarulo produced Volumen II), is kind of a second coming of London's early '80s. Its legacy of political protest appeals to Latin youth, who have a lot to complain about, from police brutality in American cities to corrupt, ineffectual governments in de facto colonies across Central and South America. Even a project as seemingly innocuous as Outlandos D'Americas, a Spanish-language tribute to the Police, takes on an almost militant tone, though the strife embedded in this compilation is most manifested in its musical at tackOutlandos's biggest kicks come from the crackling power guitars on Ekhymosis's "Message in a Bottle," the infectious momentum of Brazilian skameisters Skank on "Wrapped Around Your Finger," and Plastilina Mosh's post-Tropicália "The Bed's Too Big Without You."
New York residents King Chango, represented on Outlandos by "Venezuelan in New York," pick up on themes from immigration rights to the Zapatistas in a track whose defiance of the INS and overzealous cops serves as a salsafied reggae sound track for these Diallo-shrouded days. King Chango have a new album due out later this summer that, like the recent work of Tacuba and Maldita, expands its ska base into a more pan-Caribbean polyglot of Afro-Cuban syncopations like merengue and soca. Ska began on an island, in this case Jamaica. But like islanders it continues to reach outward, to the surrounding sea.

CLEVELAND – Brandon Weeden lost his starting job, but never any confidence.
He promised that if he ever got the chance to start for the Browns again he would make the most of it.
And on Thursday night, in front of a home crowd that booed some of his early throws and a national TV audience, Weeden came to Cleveland's rescue.
Weeden replaced injured starter Brian Hoyer and rallied the Browns to a 37-24 win Thursday night over the Buffalo Bills, who also lost starting rookie quarterback EJ Manuel with a knee injury.
"You can only control what you can control," Weeden said. "I'm just sticking my neck on the line for this football team. I prepared like I was starting, but it was tough with zero reps the last two weeks. I was a little rusty to start."
Weeden threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon in the third quarter as the Browns (3-2) won their third straight and temporarily moved into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. It's the Browns best record after five games since they were 3-2 in 2001.
"We don't care about history," Gordon said. "This is a new year and this is a new team."
Safety T.J. Ward intercepted rookie Jeff Tuel's pass and returned it 44 yards for a TD with 1:44 left to end any comeback hopes for the Bills (2-3).
"We're a hungry football team," Weeden said. "It took all three phases."
Hoyer sustained a potentially serious right knee injury on a scramble in the first quarter, and Manuel was forced out after taking a helmet to his right knee on a run in the third. Neither returned and their injuries could impact both teams' seasons.
C.J. Spiller had a 54-yard TD run and Fred Jackson had a pair of 1-yard TD runs for the Bills, who could do nothing on offense once Manuel left the game.
Billy Cundiff kicked field goals of 24 and 44 yards in the fourth quarter for the Browns, who overcame a 10-0 deficit and were down 24-17 less than two minutes into the second quarter.
Cundiff's second kick with 2:91 left put the Browns ahead 30-24, and Cleveland turned it over to their third-ranked overall defense.
With the Bills still within a TD, Tuel locked in on Robert Woods and never saw Ward, who cut in front of the receiver and scored untouched, allowing Cleveland fans to relax following a hectic second half.
Travis Benjamin had an electrifying 79-yard TD punt return in the first half for Cleveland.
Beyond the quarterbacks, both teams had one other key player go down with an injury.

A soft-spoken leader with charismatic persona, BJP leader Maheish Girri who won the East Delhi Lok Sabha Constituency is ecstatic after trouncing Mahatama Gandhi's grandson Rajmohan Gandhi of the Aam Aadmi Party by nearly 2 lakh margin.
In an exclusive chat with iamin.in, Girri reveals that he derives his strength from his spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Art of Living has had a huge impact on the way he leads his life. He is of the opinion that under the leadership and guidance of the four-time CM of Gujarat Narendra Modi, the BJP will flourish.
While sitting at his residence in Vivek Vihar, through iamin.in, he thanked all the people of his constituency who believed in him and voted for him and said that this historic win is the victory of the nation. He also described Modi as a 'Man with a Mission'.
''I always wanted to work for the betterment of the society and I am grateful that people have elected me as their representative. I will fullfill all the promises that I have made to the people and try to live up to their expectations. I will work towards making make East Delhi a model constituency,'' said Girri.
On asking about his plans on infrastructural development in the constituency, he pointed that it's a long term plan and cannot happen overnight. He pointed that his major concern is providing the basic amenities to the people such as food and shelter and ensure that no one sleeps on an empty-stomach here.
On the hindsight he also highlighted that he would work towards making the society lively and people happy by working towards developmental goals. The other areas where I would focus on are the issues of employment, safety of women and senior citizens, literacy, homes for slum dwellers, traffic snags, roads and sewage,'' he added.
Girri asked for cooperation from the people and assured them that within 5 years he will complete all his planned developmental goals.

A long-time US Senator from Massachusetts
Schumer was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, where he still lives today. He attended public schools in Brooklyn, scoring a 1600 on the SAT, and graduating as the valedictorian from James Madison High School in 1967. He continued his education at Harvard College, where he became interested in politics and campaigned for Eugene McCarthy in 1968. After graduating he went to Harvard Law School. He graduated from there in 1974. Schumer passed the New York State Bar Exam in early 1975, but never practiced law. Instead he would enter elective politics.
Soon after graduating from Harvard Law, he ran for and was elected to the New York State Assembly, becoming at age 23 the youngest member of the New York legislature since Theodore Roosevelt. He served three terms. In the decades since, he has never lost an election, and has never held any job outside of elected office. In 1980, 16th District Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman won the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat of Republican Jacob Javits. Schumer ran for Holtzman's vacated seat and won.

initiatives of national significance. For this report, the committee's statement of task did not encompass issues of balance and priorities among multiagency initiatives. Instead this report focuses exclusively on an analysis of the match between goals and proposed activity within NASA's own programs, and balance across disciplines within these programs, in support of the Vision as well as to meet broader national scientific objectives.
Congress, in the report accompanying the FY 2005 appropriations bill for NASA, expressed support for a broad view of science as part of its vision for NASA. It called for "a strategy by which all of NASA's science disciplines, including Earth science, space science, and life and microgravity science, as well as the science conducted aboard the International Space Station, can make adequate progress towards their established goals, as well as providing balanced scientific research in addition to support of the new initiative."6 Finally, in the NASA Authorization Act of 2005,7 Congress gave NASA program responsibilities as follows:
The Administrator shall ensure that NASA carries out a balanced set of programs that shall include, at a minimum, programs in—
human space flight, in accordance with subsection (b);
aeronautics research and development; and
scientific research, which shall include, at a minimum—
robotic missions to study the Moon and other planets and their moons, and to deepen understanding of astronomy, astrophysics, and other areas of science that can be productively studied from space;
earth science research and research on the Sun-Earth connection through the development and operation of research satellites and other means;
support of university research in space science, earth science, and microgravity science; and
research on microgravity, including research that is not directly related to human exploration.
Thus, a broad program of scientific studies continues to be an integral element of NASA's charter, but a challenge remains to accomplish a balanced scientific program within a broader, balanced portfolio of commitments that also must include human spaceflight and aeronautical research. In presenting NASA's proposed program and budget for FY 2007 to the House Science Committee on February 16, 2006, Administrator Griffin said, "The plain fact is that NASA simply cannot afford to do everything that our many constituencies would like the agency to do. We must set priorities, and we must adjust our spending to match those priorities. NASA needed to take budgeted funds from the Science and Exploration budget projections for FY 2007-11 in order to ensure that enough funds were available to the Space Shuttle and the ISS. Thus, NASA can not afford the costs of starting some new space science missions."
With respect to research in the microgravity sciences Griffin noted, "While NASA needed to significantly curtail projected funding for biological and physical sciences research on the [ISS] as well as various research and technology projects in order to fund development for the CEV [Crew Exploration Vehicle], the U.S. segment of the [ISS] was designated a National Laboratory in the NASA Authorization Act…. However, the research utilization of the ISS is limited primarily due to limited cargo and crew transportation."
Griffin stated clearly that the agency's decisions about support for science did not reflect an intention to move away from science as a core NASA mission, but he explained that the issue was about balancing priorities. He said, "My decision to curtail the rate of growth for NASA's Science missions is not intended in any way to demonstrate a lack of respect for the work done by the NASA science team.

2003 BEST Health Club

But it hardly ends there. This club also features dry-cleaning services, babysitting, a full-service salon and spa, and a gourmet restaurant, blu, that serves up a special low-fat, health-conscious menu. And while it may be uncomfortable to break a sweat with so many beautiful people lurking around, that's not a bad thing: The club is one of the best places in town for singles to mingle.

Does The Weather Channel benefit from blizzards?
The Northeast is expected to be hammered by a winter storm of 'historic' proportions. Many are bracing for the worst, but some businesses think snowmageddon is snowtacular.
Most of us panic or try to remember how much canned food we have when we hear words like these: "We're going to have basically two storms coming together, merging into one much larger storm."
That's meteorologist Stephen Strum, with Frontier Weather. But the bad storm is good for some businesses, says Evan Gold with Planalytics, which studies the economic impact of weather.
"This is great news for The Weather Channel," he says. Gold describes The Weather Channel as reality TV, and big storms like these are the products it sells. This year the channel is even branding blizzards.
"The Weather Channel has started to name the storms." Gold says.
Meet Nemo, that's what The Weather Channel is calling this one. Gold says the bigger the storm, the bigger the audience and the ad revenue.
"They are definitely about trying to help people understand and manage the impact of weather, but they are a media company first -- they are in business to make money," he says.
The Weather Channel didn't respond to requests for comment, but during Hurricane Sandy, it got more primetime viewers than any cable news show.

ATLANTA – Ernesto Frieri's ERA took a hit, but his confidence did not.
A night after Frieri gave up four runs in a nightmare ninth inning, he said he still feels good about how he has been pitching.
"Pretty much all the base hits I gave up were balls out of the strike zone and they just were (taking) good swings," Frieri said. "I think that's the way baseball is. Earlier this season I was missing spots, leaving the ball right down the middle and getting hit, but last night I only missed one pitch, the slider to (Andrelton) Simmons, 0-2, I hung it. But the other pitches were right where I wanted them."
Frieri has had a few rough games this season, most notably an April 23 game at Washington when he gave up four runs and lost his closer job. But a 1.86 ERA over the next 19 games, before the fiasco on Saturday night.
"It's so crazy that I been going through all this stuff early, but I won't get frustrated," Frieri said. "This game is trying to get me frustrated, but I won't. I'm fine…
"My arm is good. It feels pretty good. I've just got to keep competing, going out there and do my best. I try my best last night. I did my best last night. It didn't work."
Manager Mike Scioscia, who watched Frieri's performance on television Saturday because he was attending Bob Welch's funeral, said he is not ready to make any changes with the ninth inning.
The plan, as it has been for most of the past month, is to use Frieri primarily in the ninth, with an occasional spot for Joe Smith.
"I don't think we're reassessing anything, there are going to be times when Joe is going to be in back end, time when Ernie is going to be there. We're a better team when Ernie brings that presence, but we have to get outs, and if we have to mix and match, we'll do that."
Erick Aybar left Sunday's game in the third inning because of a sore left hip, which he said he hurt making a diving play the night before, but he said he expects to play on Monday .
Aybar batted twice, hitting a homer in his first trip, but he came out after sprinting to first to beat out the back end of a potential double play in the third.
"I felt it right away and I don't want to miss more time," he said. "It's better to take a day and not wait."
Fernando Salas was placed on the disabled list because of what the club called "shoulder inflammation," but Salas said it felt more like a nerve irritation.

It's not only one of Chaplin's best films, but one of the most important films about America ever made. Thrown out of the US for his liberal views, Chaplin became very irate at America. This is his response, a bare-knuckle boxing match with Uncle Sam - and this tramp doesn't pull punches. He doesn't leave a stone unturned, movies, music, high culture, television, education, fame, and especially the communist witch hunts. Best of all, he still exhibits his comic brilliance, and almost all the jokes land. Chaplin's son Michael is very good as a young boy who espouses communist ideals without the slightest provocation. The film ends without resolution, as this dark period of American history was still going strong. Only the hope that it is only a phase is expressed, but otherwise, the darkness is left to brood. People have accused the film of not being subtle, but it is far more so than the infinitely more popular The Great Dictator, and also more so than his other two talkies, Monsieur Verdoux and Limelight. All of those films are great, but they all end up with Chaplin telling us directly what he wants us to walk away with. A King of New York is, even if it has its clunky moments, an exceptional achievement. It's about time that it was rediscovered. 10/10.
"A King in New York" is one of those few films that gets better and better
every time you see it.
Yes, it's flawed--the sets look shabby, and some of the dialogue is stilted and melodramatic. Yet despite these shortcomings, AKINY still stands out as a wonderful, playful satire of 1950's America.
For those of you who may not know, Chaplin himself was targetted by the U.S. government at the time for his alleged communist leanings. In fact, AKINY had to be shot in Britain (Chaplin's birthplace) only because Chaplin and his family had been forbidden to re-enter the U.S after a short vacation overseas.
AKINY was Chaplin's response to the nonsense and paranoia that pervaded American society at that time. Chaplin also pokes fun at America's obsession with technology and the media--a point which is even more relevant today.
Chaplin plays King Shahdov, a deposed monarch who flees to America in the hopes of selling his plans for a peaceful, nuclear-based society (which never happens). Chaplin plays Shahdov as an honest, but hapless European monarch thrust into the dizzying whirl of modern America. Chaplin is at his absolute best here as a befuddled and somewhat puzzled outsider.
Shahdov soon meets up with two people. The first is Ann Kay (Dawn Addams), a beautiful young woman who seduces the King and lures him into appearing in her television commercials, and Rupert Macabee (played by Chaplin's son, Michael), a brilliant young boy whose parents have been imprisoned by HUAC. Also worth noting is Ambassador Jaume (Oliver Johnston), Shahdov's loyal friend and confidante. Johnston and Chaplin play off each other beautifully, and together they share some of the film's funniest moments.
AKINY is full of priceless "bits of business," as Chaplin used to say--there's a hilarious restaurant scene in which Chaplin mimes his order to the waiter in order to overcome the dreadful racket from the house band.
Then there's the scene in which Shahdov's newly lifted face become "unhinged" as he bursts into laughter at a comedy show. Chaplin slyly slips in and out of these bits (which are essentially silent comedy pantomimes dating back to his earliest days in English Music Halls) with great ease.
Such scenes provide the most satisfying moments in the film. Here, behind Chaplin's aged face and body, you can still see the little tramp come to life, and it's wonderful.
AKINY is vastly underrated by most critics who, for some reason, obsess over the sets, and virtually ignore what is truly one of Chaplin's masterpieces. AKINY is rarely screened in North America for some reason, so if you get the chance to see it, don't pass it up.
A great film that was neglected by the good old US of A when it was released in the late 50's. It was brandished as being to critical of the political atmosphere of the United States at the time. It's funny that Chaplin could manage to offend both Adolf Hitler (The Great Dictator) and the fascist-like/inspired 'anti-communist' movement of the 50's/early 60's U.S.A. There is actually a common link in those two movements (Naziism and the 50-60's 'anti-communist movement in the USA but I won't get into that here). Anyway, it is sad that this film is overlooked as it is one of Chaplin's best and should be looked as one in a career overview of this great filmmaker. Besides him, in the film there really is not any awe-inspiring actor/actress but Chaplin brings out the best in everyone and elevates them from eternal anonymity to something of recognition. His son Michael Chaplin for example is used quite wonderfully in this film. I later bought Michael Chaplin's late teenage memoir 'I Couldn't Smoke the Grass on my Father's Lawn' based on seeing him in this film and him impressing me so. It's too bad he could not develop more as an actor or recording star (he released a single in Britain in the mid-60's). I heartily recommend this film. See it and be open minded. Take a look at the way your country was run 50 years ago and ask yourself have things really changed this day in age when the 'communists' have know been replaced by the 'terrorists'.
A King In New York was a pure delight to watch. Seeing perhaps the greatest
actor of the first half of the century is always a treat and he doesn't
disappoint in this film. Chaplin made this satire as a shot at the United
States, who only five years earlier had denied him re-entry into the
country. This was based on the fact he wouldn't come before the McCarthy
hearing and make a statement on his supposed ties to the Communist party.
Regardless of the basis for this film's comedy pieces, one can find a few
moments where Chaplin is taking a direct shot at those who had doubted
The plot involves Chaplin as King Shadov, a ruler of a ficticious country whose people have ousted him based on his unwillingness to manufacture Atomic Bombs. He would rather spend the taxpayers money on finding ways to create atomic energy. Obviously this is a deliberate analogy of Chaplin being thought of as a communist although the complete opposite was the truth. So, the exiled leader goes to America in search of a fun vacation in which he can experience the excitement that he had heard about so many times before. The viewer follows Shadof and his trust aide throughout New York City and their many hilarious experiences. The best of which that come to mind are the scenes in which Chaplin pantomimes his order to a waiter who cannot hear him, the scene in which Chaplin recites the famous "to be or not to be" soliloque from Hamlet to guests at a dinner party and the scene in which Chaplin gets his finger stuck in a fire hose and cannot get it out.
One can see some elements of the tramp in Chaplin in this film including the facial expressions, his smile and the way he moves about gracefully. I had never seen Chaplin in a talking film before this one and was somewhat surprised to see how much of a great talking actor he truly is. For an actor who had done so much in silent films and only silent films, this film shows that Chaplin is one of the top actors of this century.
The only element of this film that somewhat disappointed me was the manner in which the hearings were brushed off. I believe that there was plenty of room for some gags to be thrown in here. Perhaps Chaplin felt as if he had already taken enough shots and didn't need to exploit this area.
This film is yet another example of the Chaplin greatness and I would recommend it to anyone who loves films or are interested in seeing film making magic.
8/10 stars.
Charlie Chaplin's A King in New York is a fine film to see when it's a
laid-back afternoon and it comes on TV, as it's a bit of a surprise to
come upon. It's a later Chaplin film, where he's no longer the iconic
Tramp, yet in a way the logic of one of those films in terms of the
society at large is still being toyed with. This time, instead of being
on poverty row with holes in his shoes and a sweet and enduring love
for a street girl, he plays a king whose country has gone to war and
without many prospects financially comes to America to do commercials
for products that he would surely rather not be pushing on the public.
As life does imitate art (as far as the stereotype goes it does have a
ring of constant truth), Chaplin at the time was an exile, kicked out
of America for being a supposed communist, and with his non-prolific
career going a little bit on the slide, he made the film as a
quasi-light attack on American consumerism, of the vanity and stupidity
that can come out of prosperity.
But at the same time, there is still the sensibility that Chaplin loves life and individuals, if not certain groups. This can be seen in the child character- one of Chaplin's own sons- who through his very intelligent but arrogant manner is one of the nicer and funniest characters in the film. While a lot of the humor, sometimes rather dry, is in seeing Chaplin's King and his assistant/butler talk of money problems and in the observations of the 'other', the best scenes come in showing what levels King Shadhov has to sink to in trying to pay his expensive hotel bills and stay afloat in a strange land. My favorite scenes where Shadhov's botched plastic surgery debacle, where it's funnier seeing the King trying not to laugh at a slapstick spectacle than the actual spectacle itself, and the scenes of the King trying to shill the items, often to the dissatisfied directors (I'm reminded of Lost in Translation, and in fact Chaplin's scenes are probably more successful than Coppola's).
Although the film is preachy at times- it's best when Chaplin goes for the more succinct jabs as opposed to the grandstanding, ironic since it worked perfectly at the end of the Great Dictator- the overall high-spirited and serenely theatrical direction makes this a worthwhile effort. Far from being the controversial film it got a reputation as following a non-release in the 50s in the US, it's only a cunning satire, with moments light and foreboding, and it deserves to be seen just as much as Chaplin's classics (if only by his fans, who might be apprehensive at the filmmaker making too many 'statements').
When I was a child, Charlie Chaplin's name was anathema. Here was the
personification of the "Red Peril," made worse still by the fact that we
had loved and trusted him through a lifetime of film. When A KING IN NEW
YORK came out it couldn't even get a distributor in the U.S. so virulent
was the hatred for "turncoat" Charlie.
Now, forty seven years later, and thanks tp the amazing TCM, I have
finally seen A KING IN NEW YORK and though it is somewhat uneven and
episodic, I believe it to be one of the best of Chaplin's films.
A mixture of broad slapstick and wry and subtle satire, the film is
often hilarious while at the same time touching and thought provoking.
Satire has to be the hardest form of art to translate to the screen and
there are few films that even try to tackle it, (Frank Tashlin's
hilarious WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER? one delightful example), so A
KING IN NEW YORK is welcome as an attempt to satirize a rather
unsettling time in US history.
There are many brilliant scenes in A KING IN NEW YORK; the ones in the
movie theater, at the "Montesori" type school and shooting the Scotch
commercial among the best. Above all, the warmth, humanity and total
befuddlement of the King, as performed by Chaplin, is the glue that
holds the enterprise together.
In every frame, Chaplin is mesmerizing and Dawn Addams, playing it way
over the top as the epitome of the "woman in the grey flannel suit"
(one, by the way,that is covered by a floor length mink!), is a constant
delight. Excellent too is Michael Chaplin, the director's son, as a
young genius who spouts the joys of Communism at the drop of a hat.
Joe McCarthy is gone (so far!), Chaplin is dead and we are left in yet
another unsure world. Comedy, as always, will help get us through. A
KING IN NEW YORK gives us that comedic respite, while proving, so many
years later, that governments are, after all, transitory things while
art last forever.
A comedic gem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I rented this movie, I had no idae what to expect. Charlie Chaplin in a talkie?! I had just seen (heard?) how poor Buster Keaton's awful voice destroyed his presence as the classic stone-faced pantomine. Might Mr. Chaplin's performance in a speaking role be as sadly disappointing???
The answer in a resounding word was, "NO!" If anything, Chaplin's voice and accompanying ability to express himself with words enhanced his screen presence by providing a new dimension with which to appreciate his seemingly limitless talent.
I'm not sure just how to explain this other than the fact that I watched most of the film with a big grin glued to my face. I marvelled at the subtleties of Chaplin's performance which distinguish him not only as a silent movie actor, but as an actor of ANY era! In today's world of over-the-top silliness and questionable acting passing as good comedy, his performance is a clear indication that intelligent comedy is not an oxymoron and that the "King" of it is the same person as the king of slapstick.
If you're the kind of person who appreciates the subtlety in Woody Allen's humor, you will find yourself marvelling at "A King in New York" and you will see (and hear!) a part of Charlie Chaplin you may not ever have known existed.
Charles Chaplin had a love-hate relationship with the United States of
America. On the one hand, it was in Hollywood that the British-born
comedian and filmmaker built a successful life and career,
immortalising himself as one of the most beloved directors and stars in
the history of cinema. On the other hand, Chaplin's political attitudes
during the 1940s that America should form an alliance with the Soviet
Union in order to fight Adolf Hitler's fascist regime led to his
being labelled a Communist or Communist sympathiser. In 1952, Chaplin
returned to his home-town of London for the premiere of the brilliant
'Limelight (1952),' where he was greeted with great enthusiasm, though
with his arrival came the news that the American government had
rescinded his re-entry visa into the United States. Over the next few
years, the aging filmmaker toyed with numerous ideas for his next film
including a possible resurrection of the Little Tramp before
settling upon 'A King in New York,' whose screenplay took about two
years to complete.
'A King in New York (1957)' tells the story of King Shahdov (Chaplin), a dethroned monarch who seeks refuge in the United States, his entire wealth cunningly stolen from him. The film starts off as an amiable slapstick comedy, which is basically what I had been expecting, before branching off into darker territory, become a scathing satiric assault on almost everything that America stands for. When he first arrives in the country, King Shahdov revels in the peace and liberty of this grand nation, exclaiming to his dedicated ambassador, Jaume (Oliver Johnston): "if you knew what it means to breathe this free air. This wonderful, wonderful America. Its youth, its genius, its vitality!" However, through his relationship with a brilliant young boy, Rupert Macabee (Chaplin's own son, Michael), whose parents happen to be members of the Communist party, Shahdov becomes embroiled in the period's rampant McCarthyist witch-hunts, revealing the devastating truth that perhaps America's notions of freedom have become a mere illusion.
Despite Chaplin's insistence that "my picture isn't political," it most undoubtedly is, with the director just as he did in the final scenes of 'Monsieur Verdoux (1947)' evidently expressing his distaste for what society has become. It's easy to dismiss 'A King in New York' as pro-socialist propaganda, but to do so would be completely missing the very idea behind the film. Personally, I'm unsure of Chaplin's official stance on Communism itself, but the filmmaker certainly reviled the manner in which the United States government approached the issue, citing it as an immoral invasion of privacy and liberty. Chaplin described himself as having no political convictions: "I am an individualist, and I believe in liberty." Perhaps referring to the Hollywood blacklist, he once said: "These are days of turmoil and strife and bitterness. This is not the day of great artists; this is the day of politics."
'A King in New York' was filmed at Shepparton Studios in London, and the film does a very successful job of imitating the hustle-and-bustle of the Big Apple. As well as expressing his stance on McCarthyism, Chaplin also aims a few effective jabs at commercialisation and popular culture, prophetically predicting the prominence of commercial chain-stores, cosmetic surgery and reality television {when King Shahdov is unwittingly coaxed into attending a televised dinner party, continually baffled as to why his lady interest (Dawn Addams) keeps unexpectedly launching into advertisements}. Though my review has stressed the political implications of the film, 'A King in New York' also works pretty well as a light comedy, and I almost died laughing when Chaplin walked into the House Committee on Un-American Activities with a fire-hose attached to his finger. Michael Chaplin's impassioned tirades on the degradation of America were also a riot to watch, even if the young actor can occasionally be spotted mouthing his father's lines. Owing to its somewhat disagreeable stance towards the United States, Chaplin was unable to find any willing American distributors, and so 'A King in New York' remained unseen there until the 1970s. "Freedom of speech," indeed.
This is the best film dealing with the communist witch trials I
have ever seen. It is black-comedic spoof on a subject that
still hasn't been spoofed enough...the UnAmerican Activities
Hearings. Sure it has a funny and effective "european royalty
thrown into American culture" plot but this film really has more
serious and important plans for the viewer....
Watch it and don't feel guilty think
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I am pleased to find I'm not the only reviewer who thinks this film is
an overlooked part of the Chaplin filmography. It contains some very
pungent observations on the American way of life and American society
which are still relevant today.
Apart from popular culture and materialism, Chaplin takes very careful aim at the "Reds under the bed" hysteria of the 1950's (the equivalent of this century's "war on terror"). He tells the story through the character of a young boy whose parents are charged with contempt by the HUAC. When the boy goes on the run and finds shelter with King Shahdov he is collected by an apparently kindly and fatherly law officer. Later, however, we see him put under enormous psychological pressure to name his parents' friends (the so-called "fellow travellers").
The boy's final appearance is very moving. His school superintendent says "how well" Rupert is doing. All we see is someone whose spirit has been broken, and who is tormented by guilt and shame - all in the name of the Land of the Free.
This film is very well worth watching, and not just in the context of its own times.
