Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO, Daphne Carmeli, Deliv CEO.
The UpTake: Amazon is testing its same-day delivery in select cities like San Francisco. But a Palo Alto startup, Deliv, is partnering with malls to take on the online retail giant in the logistics battle.
The battle between brick-and-mortar retailers and online giant Amazon.com is moving into the same-day delivery arena, and Deliv is already there.
News recently broke that Seattle-based Amazon is testing its own same-day general merchandise delivery service in a handful of cities, including San Francisco.
Palo Alto-based startup Deliv has so impressed the nation's four top mall operators with a holiday-season trial of its crowdsourced driver model for delivering in-store purchases at nine malls that they collectively participated in a $4.5 million funding of the startup in February.
For more news from the San Francisco Business Times, check out Patrick Hoge's work.
"We view it as an important service today. We are committed to it," said Scott Morey, a senior vice president of General Growth Properties, the Chicago-based real estate investment trust that has been using Deliv at four malls since the fourth quarter of 2013, including its Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco and the Eastridge mall in San Jose.
This summer, retail tenants in participating malls plan to start enabling local delivery of online purchases using Deliv.
In addition, Deliv in early April inked a deal with 1-800-Flowers.com, a national floral, food and gift retailer that had $735 million in revenue last year. Rollout has begun in Northern and Southern California.
Finally, Deliv became the delivery service for Laundry Locker, a burgeoning San Francisco-based clothes cleaning service; and with Lasso, a specialty foods chain with several stores in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.
The continued questing for the same-day delivery cup comes despite prognostications from prominent industry analysts at Forrester Reseach and Booz & Co., who question the prospects for such services in general retail. They say surveys find consumers don't care enough to pay extra to get it, although one research firm found that millennials care more.

NASA will search for signs of life on Mars with a giant rover due to launch in 2009. The agency selected the vital instruments that the Mars Science Laboratory rover will carry on Tuesday.
Scientists have long debated whether life ever blossomed on our neighbouring planet. NASA's twin Viking landers beamed back contradictory evidence for biological activity after they touched down in 1976. But since then, the agency has not searched directly for signs of life but for the conditions and substances that support it, such as water.
Now, NASA is planning a rover with three times the mass (600 kilograms) and twice the number of instruments (10) as those currently on Mars, the long-lived Spirit and Opportunity. These use remote sensing and instruments that can scratch away surfaces to analyse the geology of the Red Planet. But MSL will contain two "laboratories" in which samples can be collected, crushed and analysed.
One is a 30-kilogram package of tools called the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) that includes an updated version of an instrument first flown on the Viking mission. Called a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, it segregates molecules according to their mass, then identifies them. It will be able to search for the patterns of carbon isotopes that on Earth tend to be produced by life.
Terrestrial microbes contain more carbon 12 than carbon 13 when compared to inorganic material, says Paul Mahaffy, principal investigator for SAM at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Frank Palluconi, MSL project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, agrees. "If you find organic compounds, this is a way to try to decide if they were made biologically or not," he says. "It wouldn't be completely definitive, but it would be a strong clue."
Methane mystery
SAM will also study Mars's atmospheric methane to try to tease apart whether it is formed by life or by a geological process. MSL will operate for one Mars year - the equivalent of two Earth years.
"So any change you might see in methane over that time period or even in the direction the wind is blowing might give a clue about its source regions," Palluconi told New Scientist.
The other laboratory, called CheMin, will analyse the composition of minerals on Mars, which can reveal information about the conditions in which they formed. Spirit and Opportunity do this, but they use a technique that only works for minerals containing iron.
CheMin's X-ray diffraction method will be able to analyse all minerals. Other instruments include high-resolution cameras and a detector to map the surface radiation that might endanger any future astronauts.
There will be so many instruments packed onto the rover, in fact, that engineers think it is too massive to land with airbags. They are developing a new design in which the rover will be hung from a frame that is fitted with thrusters.
After initially slowing down with a parachute, the thrusters would stabilise the rover so it was hovering just above the planet's surface. Then they would gently set it down on its wheels and release it.
Many such technical issues - and even the landing site - still need to be worked out. But if all goes as planned, NASA will build the rover with a budget of $900 million and launch it in December 2009.

Are you more likely to cave to weak temptations than powerful ones?
This series of studies examined the effect of temptation strength on self-regulation processes in the context of eating behavior. Based on the critical level model, it was hypothesized that weak, rather than strong, temptations yield the most unfavorable conditions for effective self-regulation, because the negative consequences of the former are underestimated. In line with the assumptions of this model, Studies 1 and 2 showed that weak temptations inhibited the mental accessibility of the weight watching goal, in contrast to strong temptations. Study 3 showed that exposure to weak temptations lead to higher consumption in comparison to exposure to strong temptations. It is concluded that weak temptations, as compared to strong temptations, have an inhibiting effect on self-regulation processes and may therefore form a bigger threat for long-term goal attainment.

Product description
Providing abundance is humanity's grandest challenge--this is a book about how we rise to meet it. We will soon be able to meet and exceed the basic needs of every man, woman and child on the planet. Abundance for all is within our grasp. This bold, contrarian view, backed up by exhaustive research, introduces our near-term future, where exponentially growing technologies and three other powerful forces are conspiring to better the lives of billions. An antidote to pessimism by tech entrepreneur turned philanthropist, Peter H. Diamandis and award-winning science writer Steven Kotler. Since the dawn of humanity, a privileged few have lived in stark contrast to the hardscrabble majority. Conventional wisdom says this gap cannot be closed. But it is closing--fast. The authors document how four forces--exponential technologies, the DIY innovator, the Technophilanthropist, and the Rising Billion--are conspiring to solve our biggest problems. Abundance establishes hard targets for change and lays out a strategic roadmap for governments, industry and entrepreneurs, giving us plenty of reason for optimism. Examining human need by category--water, food, energy, healthcare, education, freedom--Diamandis and Kotler introduce dozens of innovators making great strides in each area: Larry Page, Steven Hawking, Dean Kamen, Daniel Kahneman, Elon Musk, Bill Joy, Stewart Brand, Jeff Skoll, Ray Kurzweil, Ratan Tata, Craig Venter, among many, many others.

Okalongo — The Omusati Regional Council has promised the Onandjaba settlement residents that developmental projects in the area should get off the ground by June this year. The regional council was responding to complaints from the community in the Okalongo Constituency.
The residents delivered a petition to the office of the Omusati regional governor nearly two weeks ago, demanding an answer to their grievances within 14 working days.
Residents wanted to know why Onandjaba settlement is not 'developing into a village council', 16 years after its promulgation as a settlement.
Its settlement status makes it impossible for residents to 'build own residential properties or properties for busines purposes', the residents claim. They are also agrieved by the asbence of sewer ponds, a drainage system and electrification in the settlement.
Last week regional council officials led by the chairman of the Omusati Regional Council, Antonius Shileka, and Omusati Regional Council chief regional officer Protasius Andowa held a meeting with members of the community at Ombaja Traditional Authority offices. Andowa promised that developmental projects would get off the ground by June this year.
However, he also informed the residents of the hiccups in the process, especially with the results of the surveying work that made it necessary to re-survey the area with aerial photography imaging. This slowed down the process as certain aspects had to be repeated.
Members of the public demanded to have the response in writing.
"I do not lie, take it from me. I am standing here in my official capacity, therefore the information that I am giving to you is correct, even if I do not have a written statement," said Shileka.

Meet The Culture of Science Interns!
7 Dec
Two months ago, I put out a call for a science and social media intern. I've learned a lot about science and social media over the last five years and want to do my part to support bringing more young people into the conversation and encourage them to use new media tools to have an impact and influence beyond the science community. I received far more applicants than I anticipated and so many would have been wonderful contributors. After much consideration, I've chosen two young women with unique interests and expertise that I'm confident will do a superb job at Culture of Science.
Please join me in welcoming Christina and Rebeka! Each has written her own brief introduction:
Hi CoS community,
I'm so happy to be joining this great space. In my mind, the conversations here encompass many of the most important issues facing global society, and I can't imagine a better place to be trying to make sense of it all.
I recently received a BSc in Global Resource Systems from the University of British Columbia, where I focused on environmental and political science. My education and recent work experience with environmental policy have showed me how critical unique, creative, and interdisciplinary approaches will be if we're to resolve the many pressing environmental issues facing us. This intersection of environment and society is what I am most passionate about, and I'm looking forward to exploring it here!
Hey, hi, hello!
Evil henchmen #2, at your service. I'm not a climate scientist, but I am a web designer named Chris who is passionate about increasing public understanding of science. I'm an obsessive geek interested in technology, astronomy, comic books and neuroscience with a hungry mind and internet access.
Currently I'm based in Chicago, Il, but I grew up all around the state of Florida. I have a Bachelors in Design from Full Sail University where I graduated as Valedictorian, but more importantly I'm an honorary graduate of the Jedi Academy. The force is strong in this one.

The Airbus A350 and Bombardier CSeries are unlikely to make an appearance at the Paris air show in June, while the Boeing 787 could make an appearance if the type is cleared to fly to the show by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Gilles Fournier, the managing director of the air show, says the A350 and CSeries "could not be ready" for Paris. "They will probably go to Farnborough [in 2014] or Berlin," he tells Flightglobal today at the sidelines of a press briefing on the Paris air show.
The A350 is due to make its maiden flight this summer, while the CSeries flight test vehicle (FTV-1) is scheduled for first flight by late June. The Paris air show will be held from 17 to 21 June.
Two 787s are planned to be featured in the show's static display - an aircraft from Boeing and Qatar Airways' 787, which also flew at the Farnborough air show in 2012.
Fournier says, however, that the 787's presence at the show is contingent on whether FAA regulators clear the aircraft to fly to Paris. "If it's ready, it will fly," he adds.
The global 787 fleet has been grounded since 16 January, prompted by a directive from the FAA following two battery incidents on two different 787s.
Boeing has proposed changes to the battery design and is now conducting flight tests with the improved design in a bid for the 787 to be re-certificated by the FAA.
Paris air show organisers say today that they expect a Russian fighter jet to fly at the show, but decline to provide more details, saying that an announcement will be made in Moscow in the following weeks,

LeBron Calling 138-Point Scorer 'Sir Jack'

MIAMI (AP) — There's two games LeBron James wishes he could watch on tape.
One is Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points.
The other would be Jack Taylor scoring 138 points for Division III's Grinnell College.
James says he doesn't believe he's ever topped 56 points in any game. He says he couldn't even manipulate a video game enough to score 100 points.
And in addition to the record, Taylor might have gotten a new nickname. "King James" is now calling Taylor "Sir Jack."

TANZANIA Bureau of Standards (TBS) has completed new standards for road humps that will be adopted by contractors undertaking road construction countrywide.
The new procedures follow a call by the former Minister for Industries and Trade, Dr Cyril Chami, who advised the Bureau to work on the matter as studies had showed that the humps were major causes of road accidents.
TBS Quality Assurance Officer, Engineer Stephen Minja told the 'Daily News' at the weekend that as opposed to the past where there were no strict regulations on that area, now contractors will have to comply with the new standards. "The standards are ready since last month and the Tanzania Roads Agency (TANROADS) will have to make sure the contractors observe the new standards," he said.
TBS took part in the just ended Exhibitions of the Construction Materials and Home Furniture which attracted a poor attendance at the weekend. This newspaper witnessed a low turnout of people at the exhibitions while exhibitors of domestic furniture did not participate at all.
On the side of building materials, Engineer Minja said that the Bureau has prepared more than 200 standards for Building and Construction Materials but cautioned consumers to always be on alert over imported substandard ones.
So far, he said, TBS was receiving few complaints from consumers on substandard building materials which showed that importers and manufacturers abide by best practices governing the manufacturing and importation of the products. However, he said that there are isolated cases whereby buyers report buying inferior materials but fail to give clear information that could lead to their seizure.
"This is a big challenge. Customers buy materials but demand no receipts or documents that could make intervention easier. By the time we obtain the documents, the culprits have vanished into thin air," he said.
He called on consumers to make sure that they demand official receipts that can be of great assistance during the follow-up on their quality. Commenting on the development of the sector, the Marketing Executive with the Motsun Holding Group, Mr Raghuvir Gadhavi, said TBS should confront dishonest importers who bring in cheap materials at the expenses of local consumers.
He said people now prefer buying local materials but local manufacturers still face unfair competition due to imports of inferior products. "TBS are doing better but they have to maintain that substandard building materials don't find their way into the country," said Gadhavi whose company manufactures a number of building materials like water tanks, paints and roofing materials.

Golden State Warriors (9-7) at Oklahoma City Thunder (10-3), 8 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Oklahoma City Thunder have won five straight and will try to continue the momentum Friday night when they welcome the Golden State Warriors to Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The Thunder are undefeated on a current homestand and haven't lost since back- to-back road defeats at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers and these same Warriors two weeks ago.
Oklahoma City picked up its best win of the season on Wednesday when it handled the reigning Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs, 94-88.
The Thunder trailed by three at the half, but tightened things up and outscored the Spurs, 25-15 in the third quarter. The 88 points were the fewest for San Antonio in nine games and the Spurs shot less than 40 percent from the field.
"We wanted to come out at halftime and play a little better," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "We didn't shoot the ball well in the first half but I liked our defensive effort and that's something we can continue to build on because it's all about our effort on the defensive end to create opportunities for the offense. Then in the third quarter we were making shots."
Kevin Durant was spectacular against the Spurs with 24 points and 13 rebounds. Reggie Jackson notched 23 points off the bench, while Serge Ibaka registered a double-double with 17 points and 11 boards. Jeremy Lamb had 12 for the second unit.
It was an uncharacteristically bad night for Russell Westbrook on Wednesday. The All-Star guard had just six points on a dreadful 2-for-16 shooting.
The Warriors have struggled a bit of late. They've dropped four of their last five and are 1-1 on a current four-game road trip. Golden State started the sojourn with a one-point victory in New Orleans, but the Warriors fell, 103-99 to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.
Despite trailing most of the game, the Warriors closed the gap to four points in the final 30 seconds before eventually falling.
"You could tell in the fourth quarter that we picked it up tremendously," said guard Stephen Curry. "In a back-to-back for us to play that hard in the last quarter in a back-to-back it's frustrating. We need to figure out how to come out stronger, better, and more consistent in the first half."
Curry was one of three Warriors to score 20-plus points on Wednesday. He finished with 29, while David Lee and Klay Thompson both had double-doubles. For Thompson, it was his first and for Lee, it was his 92nd consecutive game with double-digit scoring numbers.
Andrew Bogut, who returned from a suspension, only had eight points, but pulled down 10 rebounds.
The Warriors will head to Sacramento to play the Kings on Sunday, then go home for one game before hitting the road for three straight.
The Warriors beat the Thunder by a point on Nov. 14, but the Thunder have taken 11 of the previous 15 meetings. Golden State has lost eight straight as the visitor in this series.

The national rugby side, the Silverbacks, will make its maiden appearance in the Hong Kong 10s slated for March, 2013.
The Silverbacks will also have a chance to watch the Hong Kong Sevens.
The Hong Kong 10s is scheduled for March 20-21, 2013 at the Hong Kong Football Club.
The standard of play at the tournament can be gauged from the fact that the 2012 edition was won by the powerful BGC APBs, a team containing New Zealand greats Mils Muliaina and Justin Marshall plus Rugby World Cup stars from Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Japan and the USA.
Tour organiser Dave Hughes said, "Over the past 3 years, Rwanda's performance in Hong Kong has improved annually. Stepping up to play in such a famous and high level tournament in 2013 is a huge achievement. We need to train hard in Kigali and put Rwanda on the rugby map. I know we can."
The Silverbacks will be guided by former Scotland coach Frank Hadden, who visited Rwanda two years ago to conduct a series of rugby clinics and has worked with the players on their previous visits to Hong Kong.
"It will be a learning curve for the boys as they will come up against teams featuring players with Super Rugby, Japanese top League and, in some cases, rugby World Cup experience," said Hadden, adding that this is exactly the kind of challenge they need if they want to build on the progress Rwandan rugby has been making in recent years.
Silverbacks' senior figure and player, Benjamin Akami Makombe said, "We have had three great years playing in RugbyFest and are extremely grateful to Kowloon Rugby Club and the tournament organisers for all the help and support they have given us".
"We know the 10s is an extremely popular tournament with a waiting list of teams wishing to be involved, so we owe a big thank you to Hong Kong Football Club for inviting us to participate."
"We will be training hard and preparing as thoroughly as possible so that we can represent Rwanda with pride in this prestigious tournament."
The Silverbacks, named after Rwanda's signature mountain gorillas, made it to the second-tier Plate final in their Rugby Fest debut in 2010 and reached the main Cup semi-finals in each of their next two visits.

Linguistics professor Noam Chomsky has been America's premier political dissident since the Vietnam War.
Steven Durel: President Obama was just re-elected with a majority of the vote. How do you feel about his first term in office?
Noam Chomsky: I frankly never expected much. I never liked him much in the first place and did not succumb to the beliefs about the great changes that would take place. In fact, I wrote about him before the 2008 primaries, critically, just using his web site. So I can't say I was much surprised, except by some things I was.
I hadn't anticipated his attacks on civil liberties, which went way beyond what I would have expected. I don't really understand them. I don't think they did him any good politically or otherwise.
I didn't anticipate the expansion of the global assassination campaign, or the methods of it.
There were some things that were sort of half-positive. The healthcare reform is an improvement over the existing situation, but doesn't go anywhere near where it should have gone, nor where I think it could have gone.
There were a couple of other things, but nothing particular, and I don't expect anything more in the second term.
Durel: You've said that various administrations have pursued many of the same policies. Do you think that any administrations were better than any others?
Chomsky: I think that Obama is better than McCain or Romney would have been. If I had been in a swing state in the last two elections, I would have uncomfortably voted for Obama.
Over the years, and there's some pretty good studies of this, by and large the Democratic administrations have been somewhat more advantageous for the general population than Republican administrations. Larry Bartels is one political scientist who has studied this in some depth.
So, sure, there are differences.
Who would you say was the best President that this country has ever had?
It's hard to compare the 19th, 18th centuries with today. But, keeping to the 20th Century, I'd say Roosevelt, probably.
Durel: Franklin Roosevelt?
Chomsky: Yes, Franklin Roosevelt, not Theodore.
Durel: And who would you say was the worst?
Chomsky: A lot of them did some pretty awful things. But George W. Bush, I guess, might win.
Durel: You mentioned swing states. I know you endorsed Jill Stein earlier this year, the Green Party candidate.
Chomsky: In the primaries. And toward the end I did think that in safe states it was a good idea to vote for her. That's what I did.
Durel: I remember back in 2004 it seemed as though you were encouraging voters in swing states not to vote for Ralph Nader.

Hi all,
New to this site but browsed around and see some good stuff in here. I am hoping you can help me solve an issue that just cropped up today. My daughter used the tub last night and when I went out this morning to see the temperature, so I could turn it down, I saw the watchdog (------) across the screen. I went ahead and shut power to the tub for 30 minutes and that did not seem to help. What happens is that upon power up the temperature reads 90 degrees, and then about 10 seconds after that the watchdog dashes pop up on the screen. I read around the sen that maybe the temp sensor could be the issue? My question is what is the start up sequence for these tubs. Does it start up and look for the temp setting before it starts circulating water? Knowing this stuff may help me t/shoot this. The weather is getting close to freezing around here (high 30's at night), so I am concerned it may cause more damage if I can't get it heating again. I have tomorrow to dig deeper into this. This tub has been issue free all this time until this creeped up today.
Any advice would be great!

A health problem caught in its early stages is more likely to be treated and resolved with less expense, less difficulty and better success—this is why regular check-ups are so important for our pets!
We know these visits can seem a bit scary, especially to new pet parents and their adopted pals. That's why we've mapped out what you can expect at your pet's annual exam to help eliminate any unnecessary apprehension.
Your vet will typically start by gathering information from you about your pet. After all, who knows your pet better than you? Specific questions will vary depending on your pet's age, breed and medical history. If you have any questions about your pet's health or care, this is a great time to ask.
Your pet will be examined from whiskers-to-tail. Your vet will check the eyes, ears, skin and fur, paws, joints, teeth and mouth, stomach, heart and lungs. The doctor will be on the look out for any abnormalities or signs of health problems, such as skin conditions, ear infections or weight gain.
Depending on your pet's vaccination schedule, your furry friend may need to get a vaccine or booster shot during this visit. Vaccines are one of the best things you can do for your pet's health since they can protect against serious diseases. Your vet may also have some wellness care recommendations, such as dental care tips, diet adjustments and exercise ideas.
If you have wellness coverage with ASPCA Pet Health Insurance, an annual exam and vaccines are covered. See your plan details at the Member Center. If you're considering wellness coverage, you can learn more by starting a free quote.

Wellness care is key to keeping our pets happy and healthy. For instance, a regular checkup can help catch illnesses that cats are notoriously good at hiding. It's also commonly when dog parents stock up on important flea and tick medications, too.
Here are more answers to top questions to help you better understand what wellness coverage is all about.
Wellness care can help your pet live a longer and happier life, but the costs for annual exams, vaccines, and other wellness treatments can add up. Wellness coverage is a great way to help manage these expenses.
We even send reminders to use your wellness benefits, which can help you remember to schedule those appointments.
With wellness coverage, you get reimbursed a set amount for listed treatments. You don't need to meet a deductible first or satisfy your co-insurance. The list of covered treatments depends on whether you choose our Routine Wellness or Advanced Wellness option.
Routine Wellness is $10 a month for up to $200 in benefits per year—that's $80 more than you pay in. Advanced Wellness is $25 a month for up to $400 in benefits per year, which is $100 more than you pay in.
If you have wellness coverage, be sure to send in your claims to take full advantage of your benefits!
Of course, that answer depends on your needs. Routine Wellness provides core wellness coverage at a low cost. Advanced Wellness gives you more comprehensive coverage, including dental cleanings as well as flea and tick medication.
If you don't have an ASPCA Pet Health Insurance plan, you can sign up for wellness coverage when you get a quote and enroll your pet online. Just select the wellness option that fits your needs.
If you're already a customer, you can add wellness coverage when your yearly policy re-issuance date comes up. You'll receive an email around that time with a reminder to call us if you'd like to make any changes to your plan.
Want to know more? Check out our May newsletter for additional answers to wellness coverage FAQs!

Have you found a new place to call home? Congratulations! Moving can be an adventure, especially if you have pets, but these tips will hopefully make the process a smooth one.
When packing with pets, safety should be a top priority. It is important to keep packing peanuts out of paw's reach and check boxes for sleeping cats before taping. You should also know which box contains veterinary records in case of an emergency.
Your pet may also need some time to adjust to this big change. Try bringing in moving boxes early and keep your pet in a familiar room that you plan to pack up last. Later on moving day, give your pet some quiet space in a room with a door that shuts or at a friend's house. Doing this will help to keep your pet calm and avoid any attempted escapes through propped-open doors while the truck is being loaded.
If your pet hasn't spent much time in crates or cars, gradually acclimate them to their crates in the weeks or months leading up to the big trip. Our friends at the ASPCA® recommend first placing your pet's food inside an open crate and eventually having them eat their meals in it with the door shut. Also, practice carrying your pets around the house in the crate or taking a short drive.
Dog owners should help their canine pals burn off some energy with a brisk walk around the block or a rousing game of fetch in the backyard before hitting the road. In addition to making for a much calmer ride, this will give your dog a chance to relieve himself one last time too. More tips for traveling with you dog are available here.
Once you're packed up, use a crate or a harness to keep your pet safe in the car. If your pet is the excitable type, a treat-filled puzzle toy can help provide a distraction.
It may be tempting to let your pet loose in your house right away, but this may be overwhelming for them. Take it one room at a time, allowing them to adjust slowly. Try establishing a "home base" that includes their favorite toys, treats, water and food bowls, and litter box for cats. Your cat's litter box can be slowing moved to a different room if need be.
You should also make it a priority to find a new veterinarian, especially if you have a pet that requires specialized care or is accident-prone. Our Vet Finder can help you locate a licensed veterinarian or ask around—it can be a great way to meet neighbors!
As you prepare for exciting and sometimes overwhelming undertaking, we wish you the best and don't forget that you can use any licensed veterinarian in the US or Canada with our pet insurance. Get your free quote now.

"My little Scooter was doing his thing and getting into everything while we were cleaning the garage. All the sudden he let out a scream when he came in contact with a treble hook hanging off of a fishing pole. It hadn't hooked him, but it did scratch him and draw a good deal of blood. I took him into the kitchen to cleanse and pack the scratch with flour to stop the bleeding. After a trip to the veterinarian, where painkillers were prescribed, he spent a week with his ear bandaged up." –Anika T., Baton Rouge, LA

In case you missed it, this past Sunday was National Kids & Pets Day. According to pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige, who created the special day: "National Kids & Pets Day is dedicated to furthering the magical bond between children and animals, to help bring awareness to the plight of pets in shelters awaiting new homes and educating the public about safety
Having a pet in the family is a personal choice, of course, but children can benefit from pets in many ways. In addition to being lots of fun, pets can also:
• Provide a source of emotional and physical comfort
• Help boost a child's confidence and self-esteem
• Support a connection to nature and a respect for living things
• Promote exercise with walks outside or interactive games
• Teach responsibility, especially to older kids who can help care for a pet
In addition to the love and joy pets bring into our homes, did you know they can also improve your health? Over the years, studies have found that pets can boost our health in measurable ways.+
Nothing melts away the stress of a day like a warm snuggle from your pet. But it may be more than psychological relief. Research has revealed that pets can help lower blood pressure and anxiety levels.
Pets can have positive effects on our hearts. Studies have reported better survival rates for heart attack patients with pets and improved heart rate variability, which is an indicator of heart health.
Our furry pals may also combat depression. In studies, pet-assisted therapy helped reduce depression in chemotherapy patients, and pets reduced stress for people caring for loved ones with dementia.
It is important for pets to receive consistent messaging during potty and obedience training. Which is why training time is also a perfect opportunity for your children to both contribute to your pet's care and learn about leadership and
A fun game like hide-and-seek can help bolster your with your pet's recall while teaching your child how to give a common command. Here are a few fun suggestions:
• Create a pet playground with discarded gift boxes and wrapping paper.
• Play hide-and-seek with your pet by hiding treats around the house.
• Practice a new trick, like speaking, shaking hands, or rolling over.
• Give your pet a treat-dispensing toy to knock around the house.
• Throw a small ball across the room for a good old-fashioned game of fetch.
And don't forget one of the best ways to bond — a good, long cuddle!

"We let Britta out early in the morning for bathroom duties. We live in farm country, and it was quite dark at that time. A neighbor had his septic tank cover off and in Britta had stumbled. A deaf dog, Britta didn't hear my cry out in warning. I also have a disability that made it hard for me to reach in and retrieve Britta, but that smart dog got up on a ledge of sorts and I was able to grab her. My fiancé took her to the groomer for a bath, and the groomer recommended a vet visit. Turns out, Britta had an ear infection that required treatment." –Kathleen B., Vineland, NJ

Spanky's favorite thing is to jump from the floor to the top of the doors and balance while screaming erratically. He also likes to bring his pet parent his very worn and tattered pink mouse as a gift of his ongoing love and appreciation. In Spanky's mind, he may be partially bird. He would love to be carried around on his pet parent's shoulder every day if possible.

Hairballs, a scourge known most cat parents and some fluffy dog parents, are the messy consequences of a pet's personal grooming hygiene routine.
Quite often, loose fur is inadvertently swallowed, passes through a cat's digestive system and collects in the stool. Some hair, however, remains in the stomach or small intestine and results in the hacking/gagging/retching noises that play like an all-too-familiar symphony to a pet parent's ears. A hairball is then regurgitated and left for discovery.
Long-haired cats and cats who compulsively groom are most prone to hairballs. According to our friends at the ASPCA®:"In some cases, frequent vomiting of hairballs may indicate an underlying gastrointestinal problem, such as inflammatory bowel disease or cancer."
The most telling sign a cat has a hairball is when they repeatedly make a hacking cough-type noise. Periodic vomiting of food or mucus may occur prior to the release of the hairball, as well as a decrease in appetite and constipation or diarrhea.
Many times the situation will work itself out, but a veterinarian should be consulted if symptoms continue for more than 24 hours. It is rare, but sometimes hairballs can get lodged in the esophagus or cause intestinal blockages that may require surgery.
Cats are great self-groomers, but brushing them daily and wiping away loose hair with a clean cloth can greatly help decrease the formation of hairballs. Enthusiastic groomers can often be distracted from their favorite task with a new toy or game to play. See below for a few fun suggestions.
Hairball remedies or lubricants, which help hair pass through the intestinal tract, can be found at your local pet supply store. There are also a number of cat foods available that are specifically formulated to reduce hairballs. They do so by improving skin coat health, reducing shedding and increasing your cat's fiber intake.
Try attaching a string to your belt loop or use a treat to start a game of chase, running from room to room with your cat close behind. You can also tie a cat toy securely to a ruler and move it up and down for your cat to jump after. Be careful your pet doesn't chew apart and swallow any toys or strings after you're done!
Create a pet playground with discarded gift boxes, wrapping paper, empty paper bags or cardboard boxes. You can also crumple up newspaper and throw it for your cat to pounce on and bat all around the house.

"I came home from work to find that my dog Stella and another canine friend had gotten into a bottle of bourbon whiskey and several large bars of dark chocolate. We thought we had placed it all high enough for this not to happen, but we were wrong.
We called poison control and induced vomiting, but just foam came up. The next morning, Stella was still vomiting, and we took her to the veterinarian for a thorough check-up. Thankfully, she was alright.
As the lighter of the two dogs, the situation could have become very serious for her if she would have eaten a large amount of the chocolate. Instead, she must have been suffering from a hangover of sorts. Both pets are fine now." –Marianne G., White Plains, NY

Does your pet love to spend time outside in your yard? While it's great to let your pet enjoy the fresh air, it's important to pet-proof the area around your house. These outdoor pet safety tips can help you keep your four-legged friend safe.
Also, remember to check your pet for ticks, which can carry Lyme Disease, after a good romp outside.

Spring has arrived, and nothing helps to shake off winter's icy chill like a relaxing weekend away with your favorite furry friend! Taking your dog on a trip can be an unforgettable experience, and we're here to help make sure every moment is memorable.
Before hitting the road, have your dog burn off some energy with a brisk walk around the block or a rousing game of fetch in the backyard. In addition to making for a much calmer ride, this will give your dog a chance to relieve himself one last time too.
Once you're packed up, use a crate or a harness to keep your dog safe in the car. If your dog is the excitable type, a treat-filled puzzle toy can help provide a distraction.
Our friends at the ASPCA® urges pet parents to think twice about flying their pets on commercial airlines, especially if they plan on checking them in as cargo. But, if you have already committed to air travel, these top tips can help make the journey safer.
There are thousands of motels, hotels and campsites across the country that accepts guests with pets.
Look into the hotel's policy before you book. Some require a deposit or non-refundable fee. Others won't allow pets to be left alone in the room, even when crated. Bring along a favorite blankie or toy to help your pet feel at home.
Just like when booking a hotel, you will want to check the campsite's pet policy. Almost all will require your dog to be leashed and supervised at all times for safety's sake. Additionally, you shouldn't leave food in the bowl when your dog is not eating because it can attract wild animals. Collars with tags, flea/tick protection, a first-aid kit and plenty of water are must-haves for any outdoor stay!
Don't forget to also looking into doggy daycare and boarding facilities in the area, just in case you'd like to see some sights that do not permit four-legged visitors.
Take a look at our list below for items you will want to be sure to pack in your dog's suitcase whether you are staying in a cozy suite or roughing it the great outdoors.
✔ Collar and ID tags
✔ Leash and harness
✔ Crate or safety harness
✔ Vaccination records (airlines/hotels may require them)
✔ Pet first-aid kit
✔ Any needed medications
✔ Food/water bowls (collapsible ones travel well)
✔ Food, water and treats
✔ Litter box or waste bags
✔ Grooming supplies
✔ Favorite blankie and toys
✔ Recent photo (in case your pet gets lost)
The phone number of a veterinarian or emergency clinic near your destination will also be important to keep handy, so you know who to call in an emergency. Our Vet Clinic Finder can help you locate one nearby.
Happy trails!

Cystoscopy is a procedure to see the inside of the bladder and urethra using a telescope.
Cystourethroscopy; Endoscopy of the bladder
Cystoscopy is performed with a cystoscope -- a special tube with a small camera on the end (endoscope). There are two types of cystoscopes:
The cystoscope can be inserted in different ways, but the test is the same. Which cystoscope your health care provider uses depends on the purpose of the exam.
The procedure will take about take 5 - 20 minutes. The urethra is cleansed. A numbing medicine is applied to the skin lining the inside of the urethra. This is done without needles. The scope is then inserted through the urethra into the bladder.
Water or salt water (saline) flows through the cystoscope to fill the bladder. As this occurs, you will be asked to describe the feeling. Your answer will give information about your condition.
As fluid fills the bladder, it stretches the bladder wall. This lets your health care provider see the entire bladder wall. You will feel the need to urinate when the bladder is full. However, the bladder must stay full until the exam is finished.
If any tissue looks abnormal, a small sample can be taken (biopsy) through the cystoscope and sent to a lab to be tested.
Ask your health care provider if you should stop taking any medicines that could thin your blood.
If the procedure is done in a hospital or surgery center, you will need to have someone take you home afterward.
You may feel slight discomfort when the cystoscope is passed through the urethra into the bladder. You will feel an uncomfortable, strong need to urinate when your bladder is full.
You may feel a quick pinch if a biopsy is taken. After the cystoscope is removed, the urethra may be sore. You may have blood in the urine and a burning sensation during urination for a day or two.
The bladder wall should look smooth. The bladder should be of normal size, shape, and position. There should be no blockages, growths, or stones.
There is a slight risk of excess bleeding when a biopsy is taken.
Other risks include:
Drink 4 - 6 glasses of water per day after your cystoscopy.
You may notice a small amount of blood in your urine after this procedure. If the bleeding continues after you urinate 3 times, contact your health care provider.
Contact your health care provider if you develop any of these signs of infection:

Victory over French marks origin of Cinco de Mayo celebration
On this day in 1862, Mexican general Ignacio Zaragoza defeated French expeditionary forces at Puebla, Mexico. This event is celebrated annually as El Cinco de Mayo. Along with El Diez y Seis de Septiembre (September 16), on which is commemorated Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla's 1810 call for the end of Spanish rule in Mexico, El Cinco de Mayo is one of the Fiestas Patrias, annual celebrations of Mexican national holidays and of the ethnic heritage of Mexican-Americans.

Information on the current legislation and legislative news.
Lawmakers continue work this week on anti-collective bargaining legislation that would also dismantle teacher tenure.
House Bills 4625-4628 are on the agenda of the Senate Education Committee, which meets Wednesday. The bills previously passed in the House of Representatives. MEA members and staff have been working non-stop with legislators on a possible compromise that addresses what some say is the real problem -- the length of time it currently takes to dismiss tenured teachers.
Contact your state senator immediately to talk about this four-bill package. Your senators especially need to hear from rank-and-file school employees -- their constituents -- about how these bills will affect students and the community.
Jeb Bush continued to spread the story of the "Florida miracle" in a press conference with Gov. Snyder after his presentation to a joint meeting of the Senate and House Education committees.
The new system addresses concerns that Education YES – the current accreditation system – doesn't adequately measure districts and there are no sanctions for schools not accredited.
Art Przybylowicz, MEA General Counsel, and Mary Aldecoa, Fowlerville teacher and EA president, testified before the Senate Education Committee on the four-bill tenure proposal passed by the House last week.
He pointed out that we can have tenure reform that is fair, less time consuming and expensive and still provide due process for the dismissal of ineffective teachers.
Przybylowicz spoke in opposition to House Bills 4625-4628 which amend tenure and dismantle collective bargaining calling them "poorly conceived, apparently hastily drafted, and based upon a faulty premise—the infallibility of building principals."
Find out how your state Representative voted on House Bills 4625, 4626, 4627 and 4628.
Today, in a joint meeting of the Senate and House Education committees, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush claimed great success for his education reform plan in Florida—taking it from 50 out of 50 states in terms of student achievement to a 21 percent improvement in student test scores.
The House Appropriations Committee heard testimony today on HB 4701 and 4702 which would gut the state employees retirement health system and shift the $14.5 unfunded liability of the plan onto the backs of employees.
MEA General Counsel Art Przybylowicz testifies before the Senate Education Committee on the four-bill tenure package.
Mary Aldecoa, Fowlerville teacher and EA president, provides the teacher perspective on tenure to the Senate Education Committee.
The Michigan Senate is the next stop for a four-bill package designed to unravel collective bargaining and tenure laws, legislation that would impact all public school employees.
Last week, the GOP-led state House passed House Bills 4625, 4626, 4627, and 4628 with bipartisan opposition after heavy lobbying from MEA members and staff. MEA will have an increased presence at the Capitol beginning Tuesday, with members and staff stepping up efforts to work with moderate senators willing to consider alternative ideas, including MEA-backed reforms to streamline the process of disciplining or discharging ineffective teachers with tenure.
The House Oversight, Reform, and Ethics Committee will continue its work this week on legislation dealing with public employee health care. The panel meets Tuesday to consider House Bills 4087 and 4572 and Senate Joint Resolution C.
Answers to common questions about House Bills 4625-4628, including: What is the current status of these bills? Could "good teachers" lose their jobs if these bills become law? Could I be fired for reasons that have nothing to do with job performance?

When Edzard Ernst became the UK's first professor of complementary medicine, he was attacked by both alternative therapists and conventional doctors. The doctors have come round, but he is now alternative medicine's public enemy number one after sticking the needle into everything from acupuncture to homeopathy. He insists he is just being a good scientist, but it has been a long journey for someone whose family doctor was a homeopath. Michael Bond hears him out
You have published about 1000 articles on the safety and efficacy of alternative medicine. What have you found that is positive?
What we've found is that about 5 per cent of alternative therapies are backed up by evidence. There is good evidence for the effectiveness of some herbal remedies, such as St John's wort in treating mild to moderate depression, and devil's claw for musculoskeletal pain or hawthorn for heart failure. Acupuncture works for certain ...

Bad Matter from Berlin comes with a fat headnodder release, which will ensure burnt dancefloors. 'Soul on Fire' combines original ravesounds, sinister vibes and way down pitched vocals to maximum impact. Expect finest beatswitching and sounds, which are always slightly badder than needed and definitely on point.
The second tune 'Look' is a clever breakage-inspired amenstomper with dubby vocal effects and a megaton of subbass. Typically Bad Matter's breaks sound just a bit more smashing and the subbass a tad more voluminous than in other productions. Massive.

Van Boxmeer and Canada Falls
Bangkok, Thailand - Canada's U19 Women lost their quarterfinal match On Sunday, Nov. 21, against China in Bangkok's National Stadium by a score of 3-1. Seconds after the match kicked off, Italian referee Anna De Toni threw the game on its head with two incredibly harsh decisions.
The Canadians were dealt a cruel blow in minute one when Xiaxou Lou found herself in alone on Stacey Van Boxmeer. The Canuck `keeper challenged the Chinese striker at the right corner of the six yard box but as the striker made her move to round Van Boxmeer she collapsed to the ground.
Without hesitation, De Toni immediately pointed to the penalty spot. But if the penalty wasn't enough, the Italian walked toward Van Boxmeer brandishing a red card.
The card forced Bridge to deputize Stephanie Labbe at the expense of Jodi-Ann Robinson. Labbe's first touch of the ball however was not a pleasant one as she was forced to pick the ball out of the back of her net.
Ying Zhang stepped up and coolly stroked her shot toward the left corner. Labbe, who guessed correctly, had to watch as the shot slid under her outstretched arm.
Suddenly the game started to unfold much like the Germany match 5 days ago; minus the two goal outburst by Canada.
China won a corner after a ricochet off Emily Zurrer rolled just past Labbe's left post. The corner was swung dangerously toward the Canadian goal and took a carom off the near post but Canada failed to clear and then compounded the issue by giving up a freekick at the top of box.
Zhang again took charge of the set-piece and hammered her shot past the wall and into the side netting.
Labbe had to be alert in the dying moments of the half when the Canadians failed to clear another corner. A Chinese player, left unmarked eight yards from the Canadian goal, dwelt on the ball far too long and Labbe closed the space quickly, blocking the ensuing shot superbly.
Despite some long range efforts that had the Chinese goalkeeper back-pedaling, the Canadians really didn't have a clear cut chance at beating Yanru Zhang in the opening half.
But again it was a freekick from Kara Lang that got the Canadians on the board; this time an hour into the encounter.
Lang's thunderous freekick from the Chinese side of the centre circle dipped as it reached the Chinese keeper. Zhang made a feeble attempt to catch the rasping shot but in the end, palmed it into the path of the wrong woman.
Brittany Timko, who seems to have a knack for being in the right spot, side-footed her seventh of the tournament past a helpless Zhang.
But unlike the thrilling comeback against Germany, Canada surrendered another immediately after clawing back into the match.
A long ball played over the top of the Canadian back three saw two Chinese advance toward Labbe. The Canadian keeper misplayed her clearance and China's Sa Liu, who had just entered the game seconds before, had the easiest of tap-ins to regain the two goal advantage.
Canada desperately pressed forward in search of another but China's defense stood firm. In the end, Canada couldn't overcome the early hole they found themselves in and limped off the National Stadium field for the last time.
Canadian Head Coach, Ian Bridge, praised his troops for their fight and determined approach to the game after the early decision.
"The team's performance, under the circumstances, was wonderful. Once we went down to 10 men it was always going to be difficult, especially against a team like China."
"When we made it 2-1, I thought there was a chance but giving up the third goal made it far too difficult to come back."
Canada will now return home on 22 November without the prize they had coveted.

Outdoor Tech's Safe5 Is The Cheapest Waterproof iPhone 5 Case We've Seen Yet
The success of the LifeProof cases are really nothing short of a marketing phenomenon — one that's predictably spawned a parade of imitators. This isn't a bad thing though, as most of the newcomers are priced more competitively than the $80 and $90 LifeProof pair.
But the latest challenger — Outdoor Tech's rubberized Safe5 — is just $50, miles below pretty much anyone else.

Dear Dr Johns: Hope you're doing well. We have been feeding our three young cats dry food (Friskies Indoor Delights) exclusively. With all of our previous cats, we've always given them about 70 percent canned (moist) cat food, while keeping dry food available. They all seem to be thriving.
Should we introduce canned food into their diet? Personally, I feel that moist food might add to the likelihood of tooth decay. We seem to have seen that with Spooky, our previous cat.
We would welcome your opinion. Have a great week!
— John & Judi Corney
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Corney: There are many benefits to canned food that outweigh any risk to the dental health. Canned food is roughly 70 percent water and 30 percent dry matter. Dry food is the opposite at 70 percent dry matter and 30 percent water. Because of this, dry food is more calorically dense and can put more weight on the cat, contributing to obesity. When the cat eats canned food it automatically gets more water in its diet, helping it to stay well hydrated and increasing urine output. When the cat urinates more often, it reduces the risk of bladder infections and stone formation. In fact, one study showed that the only diet change that seemed to help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections in some cats is feeding more canned food.
There are negatives to feeding canned food. Tartar buildup could be one, but not all cats have a problem with tartar. When it comes to tartar buildup, it seems some cats are more prone to tartar buildup than others, regardless of the food.
However, one real show stopper concerns recent information about squamous cell carcinoma in cats. There are studies that indicate a possible threefold increase in oral squamous cell carcinoma in cats that frequently eat canned cat food and a significant fivefold increase in risk for cats that eat canned tuna fish. The cause of this increased risk is unknown. Squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth is a very serious cancer that has a poor prognosis. Oral tumors account for about 10 percent of all feline cancers, and 60 percent of these are squamous cell carcinomas. The one-year survival rate for this cancer is less than one percent, with the median survival time being three months.
Faced with all this information, I think feeding canned food two to three times a week or possibly a tablespoon once a day would be OK, but each owner has to consider the risks and benefits and make their own decision.
