This is a revised and enlarged edition of a book first published in English in 1985. That publication was based on three smaller books in German that had appeared in Teubner's series of texts in mathematics. The book is largely an account of the author's own work on the subject.
In his review of the 1985 edition in the Bulletin of the AMS, Lars Inge Hedberg said that
Generally speaking, this book is not the right choice for someone who is just trying to learn a few simple facts about Sobolev spaces. The author's taste is for completeness. He treats every conceivable aspect of his problems, which makes the book rather overwhelming for the general reader.
Maz'ya's massive book will nevertheless continue to be a fundamental reference for those who work in the field.

CPX Student Instructions
What is the CPX?
The Clinical Practice Examination (CPX) is a standardized patient-based performance exam, which assesses the application of students' clinical skills to patient care. This cumulative exam includes seven cases similar to those faced in outpatient practice. Each case includes a unique patient encounter and a written patient note or oral case presentation. The entire exam takes approximately four and a half hours to complete.
What skills are assessed?
The following skills are assessed during the CPX:
- history-taking
- information sharing
- physical examination
- interpersonal communication
- diagnostic decision-making
- diagnostic interpretation
- management
What are the purposes of the CPX?
The purposes of the CPX are to:
1) provide a standard and objective measure of medical students' clinical skills at the end of the third year of undergraduate medical education.
2) provide students with additional information about their readiness to move on to graduate medical education.
3) provide the School of Medicine with information about group performance in order to assist in the refinement of existing curricula and in the development of new instruction.
4) provide students with experience participating in an extended performance assessment as practice for Step 2A of the USMLE.
What happens on the day of the CPX?
Each student will complete a total of 6 patient cases. Each case includes two components:
1) patient encounter;
2) written patient note OR oral case presentation
At the beginning of your designated session, you will participate in a brief group orientation. During this time, you will be given detailed instructions about the examination.
Before entering each patient room, you will be given a chart describing that patient, the setting, and the expectations for the encounter. You will then have 15 minutes to complete the patient encounter. You may also be asked to complete a sub-station before or after the patient encounter where you may interpret lab cultures or demonstrate procedural skills. Following the patient encounter, you will have an additional 15 minutes to complete the computer-based patient note OR orally present your patient, findings, and plan to a resident.
The entire examination will take approximately four and a half hours. Snacks will be provided mid-way through the CPX.
What role should I portray during the CPX?
Students will take the role of PGY1 residents working in various ambulatory settings, such as a primary care doctor's office, emergency room, or walk-in clinic.
Keep in mind that you may interact with a single patient, a patient and a family member, or you may even be asked to interview a patient over the telephone. You may also be required to view and interpret cytological findings and present these results to a patient.
Where do the cases come from?
The cases for the CPX are representative of common types of clinical encounters experienced in primary care settings. They are also typical of the types of cases that will be included in the USMLE Step 2A.
Specific cases are created and/or reviewed by the Faculty Advisory Committee, made up of UVA Clerkship Directors and other clinical faculty. These faculty assure that the cases represent problems with which students should be familiar by the end of the third year.
How are my skills evaluated?
Your performance on the seven cases will be assessed in the following manner:
- After each encounter, your standardized patient will enter information about your performance into a computer. This information will be converted into a numeric percent-correct score for history-taking, information sharing, and physical examination. Interpersonal communication scores will be computed by averaging the seven numeric rating scale scores from all patients. The criteria used for each skill area are established by the Clerkship Directors.
- You will write a patient note for six cases using the USMLE Step 2 CS format. For grading efficiency, the note is written on the computer, but paper copies will also be available for hand-written notes if requested. Physcians grade patient notes using a patient note rubric that evaluates history and physical exam written findings as they are related to the differntial diagnosis and follow-up plan. The scale used to grade the patient note is a standard five-point Likert, ranging from poor to excellent.
- One case will be evaluated by a trained resident physician. Your clinical reasoning and oral presentation skills will be reviewed and on an oral presentation rating scale. The scale used for each encounter is a standard five-point Likert, ranging from 'poor' to 'excellent'.
What are the criteria for passing the CPX?
Students will receive a separate score for each component of the CPX. Students must pass both components. The criteria for passing each component are as follows:
- Students must score above the 16th percentile of the class on three or more cases to pass the patient encounter component. [Note that the cases are scored separately, which means that it is possible for all students to pass the CPX.]
- Students must receive a minimum average numeric ranking of 'fair' on the patient note and oral presentation.
What if I don't do well on a particular case?
Not doing well on one case will not affect whether you pass the CPX! The criteria have been set so that weak performance on one or even three cases will not justify a recommendation for remediation. Therefore, during the CPX, do not let one poor performance on a given case influence your performance on other cases.
What if I don't pass the CPX?
Student performance on the CPX will be reported as Pass or Not Meeting Passing Criteria. Students who do not meet passing criteria may be given an opportunity to pass a retest in the fall after reviewing their CPX results. Other students interested in polishing their skills in a performance exam may also be invited to participate in the CPX retest. Sudents who continue to perform below passing criteria will meet with the Associate Dean for Student Affairs to plan appropriate clinical experiences in the fourth year. The student's plan is subject to approval by the Student Promotions Committee and must be completed prior to January of the fourth year.
What are some common mistakes students make during the CPX?
- Not performing all important physical examination procedures.
- Assuming that no physical signs or symptoms will be present because the case is a simulation. This is not true!
- Taking a disorganized and/or incomplete history from the patient.
- Narrowing too quickly to a specific diagnosis when more assessment is needed.
- Ruling out alternatives prematurely.
- Forgetting to include follow-up in the management plans.
- Forgetting to wash your hands in view of the patient.
- Requesting labs, tests, and procedures that are unwarranted or unjustified.
What should I bring to the CPX?
Please wear your white coat and bring the following medical instruments: Stethoscope, Reflex Hammer, Tuning Fork.
You are not permitted to bring medical references and/or resources into the CPX; however, several reference books will be made available during the post-encounter stations. You will not have access to the Internet during the CPX.
When will I complete the CPX?The CPX is scheduled a month or two in advance by all students receiving a link to a scheduling webpage where they can rank their top choices for times and mark one date as impossible. The final schedule is then created and sent to the students by email. Further scheduling conflicts can be resolved by students switching times and informing CSTAP staff.
Students are excused from ALL clerkship duties on the date that they are scheduled to complete the CPX. Students are also excluded from on-call duties the evening prior to the CPX session.
What if I'm on an out-of-town rotation?
Students who are attending away rotations are required to return to Charlottesville to complete the CPX. These students are scheduled during a weekend session. In order to compensate for the weekend session, these students are relieved one additional weekday (Friday or Monday). In order to accommodate the students' travel time, they are also relieved one half-day (Friday evening / Monday morning). The details of these accommodations should be made by the individual clerkship rotation.

Faithful Through It All Song Story
| May 19, 2014 | Categories: Videos | Tags: blog, song story
In an almost shameful way, as the church often doesn't address these very common afflictions. In Christ Jesus we are not victims but Victors over these and there is hope in Him. "Faithful Through it All (Maddie's Song)" was born out of two of a Song receivers worst trials of his life in which Anxiety and Depression nearly stripped him of his mind, his family, his job, and almost his life. At literally the darkest night of his life, God reminded him of the promise in Joshua 1:9 and the hope of Matthew 6:25-30. In those verses, the lyrics literally poured out. No matter what happens in life, God will cause the sun to rise over the mountains, birds will fly and fill the air, flowers will bloom displaying their colors, and God is Faithful through it all. How much more Faithful He is to us. His promise is that he will never leave us nor forsake us and that He is there with us through it all. This is the promise of Hope in our Darkness!
Just a week before Justin Mosteller was set to track vocals for the song, God spoke that there needed to be another verse to the song and the very next day the story of Maddie Yate's youtube goodbye message before her suicide flooded social media. That day a third verse was written and the song has now been dedicated to Maddie's Memory. Half of the profits from the song are being donated to The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, www.afsp.org in Maddie's honor. Our prayer for this song is that it shine the light of hope that Christ provides and that those suffering from the debilitating afflictions of Anxiety and Depression come to know that our God is truly "Faithful Through it All!"

The Sound That Saved Us All Anthony Skinner Official Video
| February 19, 2014 | Categories: Videos | Tags: video
CentricWorship unveils The Sound That Saved Us All live worship video today, April 29th, as seen on YouTube and GodTube. The Sound That Saved Us All was penned by veteran songwriter/producer Anthony Skinner (writer of the Billboard #1 hits 'Your Love Never Fails' and 'Million Miles') and calls the listener to rejoice in the majesty, dynamism, and splendor of God. The video features an inspiring performance of this pure worship song by Anthony Skinner, with rich backing vocals and acoustic instrumentation provided by the other CentricWorship retreat participants.
"I've been an Anthony Skinner fan and friend for many years," says CentricWorship founder, Steve Rice. "It's the uniqueness in his songwriting and musicality that brings freshness and realness to what he does. And then underneath all that, he draws from a deep spiritual well. As Anthony leads worship you realize he has been with God. This is a man who is in tune with the Spirit of the Lord and that truly is what makes his music so special."
The inspiration behind The Sound That Saved Us All is equally as unique and engaging as the songs Anthony Skinner writes. The idea for the song came to him one afternoon: "I was watching The Andy Griffith Show and there was a church scene where Andy and Barney were singing the classic hymn, 'All Hail The Power of Jesus Name,'" explains Anthony. "It had been awhile since I had heard this particular hymn and the words completely arrested my imagination." Sitting down to his piano, Anthony drew on this profound and unexpected inspiration to create a modern masterpiece, infusing it with a fresh, impassioned spirit. "It was as if the song had been sitting there at the piano waiting for me to sing it. In a matter of minutes I was past the writing and lost in worship."
It was during a time of worship at the CentricWorship retreat that Anthony Skinner presented The Sound That Saved Us All to his fellow songwriters. "The themes of God's majesty, power and grandeur are all present in the text of 'The Sound That Saved Us All,'" says Anthony. "These same themes are echoed in the beautiful landscape of Winthrop, WA, where the All The Saints project was recorded. It seemed fitting to share the song in this setting, and I was honored when Steve Rice approached me to add the song to the EP."

They grow up so fast don't they? Vanessa Hudgens is going to be none too happy about this 'cause her BF Zac Efron has now discovered the joys of strip clubs. He and two friends – including High School Musical alum, Corbin Bleu - dropped a lot of cash on lap dances at the Flashdancers Gentlemen's Club on Broadway, New York City. We're talking more than $2 grand here (oh to be rich, young and famous) on dancers – down the g-strings of 3 brunettes in particular – and a hell of a lot vodka. And they kept going strong till 3 am. Part-ay!
How did he still look good the next day (we mean in the next couple of hours) at the premiere of his new sap-fest film, Charlie St. Cloud? And why does this strip-clubbing make us happy? Because it does, inexplicably. Maybe it's because the Zefron is the movie equivalent to apple pie. So clean, perfect and wholesome; he makes us want to take a bite out of him. It's nice to see a Disney star fall down the chute once in a while!

The St. Croix County prosecution said that the father who admitted to killing his three daughters in River Falls, Wis. made a "conscious choice" to make his ex-wife suffer by the killings.
"He fantasized and rehearsed this deed," the prosecution said.
Opening statement ended Tuesday in St. Croix District Court in the insanity trial of a man who admitted last week that he killed his daughters in their River Falls home.
Thirty-five-year-old Aaron Schaffhausen pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide, but he maintains he is not responsible because of a mental illness.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
In the historic downtown area, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and historic sights
Casa Monica is located near the historic district, in a landmark building from 1888, within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and sites.
Nicknamed the "Ancient City," St. Augustine is the oldest continually occupied European-established city in the country. This Florida city is known for a romantic vibe with streets lined by beautiful architecture. Some buildings date back to the 1600s while "newer" structures from the 19th-century still celebrate the Spanish colonial style but on a larger and grander scale.
St. George Street is the main street of St. Augustine's historic district. Almost all attractions center around the city's history; Castillo de San Marco, the oldest masonry fort in the U.S., attracts visitors, as does the Markland Mansion, and even the original Ripley's Believe It or Not! is housed in a historic mansion. The historic district has a compact but lively nightlife with one of the most popular activities being ghost tours. Anastasia Park has some of the best beaches in the area, as well as a lagoon and several hiking and walking trails.
The Casa Monica Hotel is a gorgeous, historic building dating back to 1888. This 138-room hotel is located in a convenient, central location near many of St. Augustine's top attractions. The Spanish-villa-meets-Arabian-Nights theme creates a historic, romantic vibe in the lobby, and the theme continues into the rooms. Details such as dim lighting, dramatic, velvet headboards, wrought iron accents, and red oriental-style carpets will appeal to some, though others might find them kitschy. Highlights include a sunny rooftop pool with large surrounding patio and a spacious fitness center. There is also a convenient on-site cafe, restaurant, and bar, as well as manicured grounds. However, pricey fees for Wi-Fi and parking might encourage some guests to compare other options in St. Augustine.

A press advocate said it would be bad for open government if Charleston City Council adopts a formal policy allowing members to take part in meetings by telephone or other electronic device.
"There is a saying about 'phoning it in,' " said Bill Rogers, executive director of the S.C. Press Association.
Council is considering a phone participation policy after three members opted against attending a recent Real Estate Committee meeting where there was only one item on the agenda. They took part by conference call.
While telephone attendance by a public official is allowed under the state's Freedom of Information Act, Rogers said expanding the habit would be a step toward a more closed form of government which reduces the public's view and exposure of elected officials at work.
Last month, when not enough council members said they were going to attend the meeting to make a quorum, the city's legal staff determined it would be OK for the three to participate by telephone.
The three included Bill Moody, Keith Waring and Gary White. Committee chairman Aubry Alexander was there, as was city staff.
The state FOIA law does allow for electronic participation of members of a public body, as long as the meeting and agenda are advertised ahead of time, minutes are kept and the site is open to the public, which it was.
But now that the precedent of "electronic" attendance has been set, some council members say it's time for the city to look at adopting rules which address the practice as a matter of policy.
Councilman William Dudley Gregorie said that while remote phone call meetings are not something he'd like to see used often, the city should at least explore parameters of when electronic attendance is allowed.
In the recent city case, there was only one item on the agenda and it had to do with a residential annexation, an issue that normally is addressed in a matter of minutes, Alexander said.
Opponents like Rogers, however, said that when the law was crafted, it was meant to be used mainly for extreme circumstances, such as when one member of a body was too far away to attend or travel, or had been called out of town.
"It wasn't to replace regular meetings," he said.
Gregorie, who was recently named the city's Mayor Pro Tem, has asked the city's legal staff to look into the use of phone attendance as part of council rules.
Moody said the call option was done this time as a matter of convenience and that he isn't necessarily in favor of it becoming routine.

Founder Of Israeli Female Paratroopers Dies At 95
Israel was brave and competent then, and it still is (see story below)
Sarah Braverman, a founder of the IDF Women's Army Corps, passed away on Saturday at the age of 95. Surika, as she was known, was one of the first women to join the Palmach, the elite striking arm of the Hagana militia, the forerunner of the Israeli army. She was also one of only three women among a select group of thirty seven volunteers from the Yishuv, Israel's pre-state Jewish community, who were parachuted into Nazi controlled territory during the Second World War.
Her funeral is scheduled for Monday at Kibbutz Shamir in the Upper Galilee.
One of the founders of the Kibbutz, Braverman was a dedicated socialist-Zionist and a member of the HaShomer HaTzair youth movement. She was born in the Romanian city of Boto?ani in 1918 and studied agriculture after making aliyah in 1938, during the period of the British Mandate.
Braverman was honored by Israel during her lifetime for her role in assisting underground fighters in Europe, however she never achieved the level of fame of her fellow paratrooper Hannah Senesh, who was killed after landing near the Hungarian border and whose poetry became an integral part of the Zionist zeitgeist here.
Too scared to jump during her paratrooper mission, Braverman eventually found her way onto the European battlefield "but landed on the ground in a small plane," she told participants during at a memorial for her friend Haviva Reik, another volunteer parachutist, three years ago.
During that same event, Braverman also noted that she, Senesh, Reik and the other volunteers were "simple people who believed in what they were doing for their people and the Zionist, socialist and political movements they belonged to."
During her time with the European underground, she recalled prior to her death, she hid her identity from the partisans and claimed to be an English journalist, but she used her real name.
Her cover story, she stated, was ridiculous: "whoever heard of an educated English lady who doesn't wear makeup and knows how to milk Partisan cows?"
The rest is at the link. What an amazing country Israel is. You can actually, personally know the founders, the people who built it and protected it. We are so lucky to be living in this era.

Directions to 4 FriendsAddress: Piazza del Ponticello, 1, Palermo, Italy
Average rating: 87%
Rooms from: US$ 0
Directions to 4 Friends
From the airport you can reach Palermo city centre (Railway station) by bus, it takes about 50 mins and it costs (6.10 Euros) per person; a taxi would cost you about (Euros 40/45) DIRECTION From the Ralway station (stazione centrale), it is very easy to walk to the B&B in less than 8 minutes. The B&B is at Piazza del Ponticello, 1. As soon as you exit from station, you will see Via Roma (a quite big street) directly in front of you; Via Maqueda is the street that goes parallel to Via Roma on the left. Walk along Via Maqueda and then turn left at Via Ponticello (there is a large T for the tabbacco shop at the corner). Continue walking past 'Copisteria Mary' to the small piazza where you will see a very small church on your left (this is Piazza Ponticello N� 1 which is a VERY SMALL square at the first intersection, Piazza ponticello is written at the corner of the building). You will find the B&B in building number N �1. If you see a BIG church named 'Casa Professa' you have already gone TOO FAR To get the B&B from the port you should take the bus 139 at the bus stop just in front of the exit of the port. Get that bus and then stop at the railway station (Stazione centrale).

Students design new flag
for Romeo High School
by CHRIS GRAYTwo accomplished graphic design students have turned their talents to representing their school.
Observer Staff Writer
Romeo High School juniors Daniel Bartolotta and Madeline Geffert have designed a new flag to capture the history and spirit of their school, which was presented at the Board of Education's Dec. 3 meeting.
The duo said in the past year they came up with anywhere from 50 to 70 different designs before settling on the final one. The students eventually came to the decision to have the flag incorporate a crest that represents Romeo's history.
The two researched Romeo's history through the Romeo Historical Society and other source materials to come up with inspiration.
"Romeo High School is a place that is so absolutely rich in history, and we honestly feel that it deserves something that serves as representation of this history and how great the Romeo community is," Geffert said.
For instance, the two red stripes represent Bruce and Washington districts before the Romeo Union High School was created in 1867 in an existing school building.
In 1885, the district built a new high school on Prospect Street, with additions made in 1927. This facility became known as Romeo Junior High after the district built a new high school opened in 1958, which now serves as the current high school.
Romeo Junior High eventually became Romeo Middle School. The latest addition to the district was the Romeo Engineering and Technology Center (RETC) in 2004.
"Over the past 140 years, Romeo has grown immensely, and so has Romeo High School," Bartolotta said.
These buildings are represented as three peaches on branches surrounding the bulldog icon, while the branches themselves represent the community's growth.
On one branch is the word "Peachmen," which was the school's team name before then-Athletic Director Dan Barnabo changed it to the "Bulldogs" in 1946.
"The original bulldog is actually his dog," Bartolotta said.
Surrounding the face of a bulldog are two chains. On each chain, a link is made up of the word "Bruce" or "Washington" to represent the two joining together to create the district.
The two students have been successful on other graphic design endeavors. Last year, Bartolotta placed first in the 35th Annual Society of Automotive Engineers Detroit Section High School Poster Competition, and Geffert earned second place in the 24th Annual North American International Auto Show Poster Contest.
The new flag is being flown at both the high school and the RETC. Flags can be purchased for $30 at the RETC and will be available for purchase online.

NELSON COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) — A local family struggled to get through Thanksgiving dinner this week without their loved one.
Alexis Murphy, 17, went missing in early August.
Four months later, searches are continuing in order to try to find any clues that may lead to Alexis. On Sunday a group of local volunteers teamed up with Murphy's family to search the Route 29 corridor.
Murphy's family is trying to celebrate the holidays, but say they are having a hard time without her around.
"Her little brother, who's six years old, in his letter to Santa, the thing he asked for the most was he wanted his sister home for Christmas," Angela Taylor, Murphy's aunt said.
As many as 500 people have contributed to the search efforts for Alexis. 'Show-Poe,' the group that's organizing the search, says they may try again in another area at a later date.
Search parties are looking for two particular clues: Murphy's two-toned, grey purse with a long strap and a phone cover that was missing from her cell phone when it was found.
As of now, 48-year-old Randy Taylor has been charged with her disappearance. Taylor remains in jail and denies the charge.
The group visited Taylor's property to search the area, but were turned away when the property owner asked them to leave. Although Murphy's family insisted they had permission to be there, the owner said she was never informed.
The search party says continuing the search is crucial though. They were later allowed to return an hour later after the dispute was settled.

Best Young Teachers
Set Up For Powerful Strikes
If you study the best players' address and impact positions you'll see many similarities. With right-handers, their right side is usually lower than the left because their right hand always grips the club lower on the handle. Knowing this, you can rehearse a proper impact position when you address the ball.
Take a look at my setup. You'll see that my hand positions on the club produce a low-high relationship with other points on the body: My right shoulder is lower than my left, as is my right hip. Notice, too, that my stance looks like a backward-K.
This tilt is important because it encourages a shallower angle of attack and a swing path that comes from inside the target line. Those elements help maximize clubhead speed and promote ball-first contact.
Feel as if you're returning to this low-high relationship at impact, and you'll strike the ball with a lot more power.
Need some help with your game? If so, check out Make Me Better, our Web-based improvement program. It's free and easy to use. You'll find out how to track your stats on the course, and you'll gain access to our vast archive of tips and instructional videos from the game's best teachers and players. Based on your scores and stats, you'll also get a long-game and short-game handicap. If you'd like to have a professional take a look at your swing, send in a video clip for an expert's analysis.

For people familiar with Intel's Tick-Tock cadence - this should not come as much surprise. Some people may have gotten caught up in marketing and expected more, but this is a "Tick" which brings a process shrink, power savings, and a modest performance increase. It is just about delivering that, though perhaps on the softer side of things.
Sandy Bridge was a Tock - a BIG performance improvement. Haswell should be a Tock - a BIG performance improvement.
On the tick, they set more modest performance goals, and focus on getting the process shrink right and tuning things up. On the tock, they should knock our socks off. So maybe Ivy Bridge is disappointing, but perhaps familiarity with their product development strategy helps to manage expectations

These are simple and delicious. Potatoes go with any kind of grilled meat, so it's a good thing to know how to make them on the grill. With a little space management, the potatoes fit on one side of the grill and the meat on the other side.–Frank Pellegrino, Jr.
LC Too Hot In The Kitchen Note
'Member how, back during the summers of your childhood, your mom would lazily slice potatoes onto a large sheet of foil, add several generous blobs of butter (or–gack–margarine) along with a few taps of paprika from the Watkins tin, wrap it all up into a crinkly package, and toss it on the grill for dad to watch while he sipped beer from a can and charred steaks to the texture of rawhide? (Uh, do you remember that? Or was that just us?) It was as close as it got to mom's night off from cooking. These potatoes, while far more enticing than what ended up on our plates as kids, are sorta like that. Though this approach gets fancied up with olive oil and a branch or three of fresh rosemary (or any other fresh herb that you fancy), it's still a handy little how-to when mom (that is, you) just can't bear to turn on the oven.
Roasted Potatoes on the Grill Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes 4 to 6 servings
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 6 unpeeled waxy potatoes, each quartered lengthwise
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 to 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped if desired (optional)
- 1. Prepare a grill for direct cooking over high heat [500º F (260ºC)].
- 2. Combine the oil and garlic in a large flameproof roasting pan. Place the pan on the grill grate, close the lid, and let it heat until the oil begins to shimmer, about 2 minutes. Carefully add the potatoes to the pan and gently stir to coat with the oil. Close the lid and "grill" the potatoes, keeping the lid closed except to occasionally turn the potatoes with a thin metal spatula, until they're golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- 3. Season the potatoes to taste with salt and pepper and, if desired, a sprinkle of rosemary. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a bowl or platter and serve hot.

text: Tweet Image capture from infographic by Tigernation.org Tigernation.org, an innovative new website which gives everyone a chance to follow the dramas of wild tigers in their Indian forest homes and at the same time help protect India's wild tigers, launched this week. The site gives a graphic, never before illustrated insight into India's threatened tiger population. Take a look at the infographic and video below to understand fully what Tiger Nation is trying to achieve and how important their cause is. This is an exciting website with everyone encouraged to have fun, learn and get involved in protecting the tigers. Subscribers to the site can follow the lives and welfare of their favourite 'star' tigers (and their cubs) and read daily updates on their newsfeeds, as well as access to amazing 3D maps of their tigers' homes, up to date images, articles and film clips from the world's top photographers and tiger experts and even have the opportunity to name wild tigers as they are discovered. One part of the technology used by Tiger Nation has, up until now, not been accessible to the general public. As many of you will know, tiger stripes are as unique to individual tigers as fingerprints are to humans. The Tiger Nation ID software works by using safari goers', naturalist and photographers to uploaded photographs or videos and combining them with images taken by Government and NGO cameras to match them. Each animal is logged and pictorially tracked, allowing a unique, non-invasive monitoring mechanism. In a groundbreaking move through what is today called 'citizen science', subscribers of the site can now support and protect India's wild tigers, counted at just 1,706 in the last census. It is estimated that up to 45% of tigers are dying of unnatural causes such as poaching, however, without formal identification; the exact number killed each year would continue to go unnoticed. With over two million trips made to tiger reserves each year by both Indian and international holidaymakers, responsible visitors and photographers now have the opportunity to get to know and ultimately protect wild tigers in their natural habitat – with just the click of the mouse. Tiger Nation Founder Julian Matthews says; This site allows anybody to be a part of conservation efforts to protect these extraordinary animals. Tiger Nation represents the true meaning of people-powered conservation and we encourage the public to get involved by joining the site and supporting the teams on the ground. In doing so, we hope to uncover a more realistic picture of this magnificent species. SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER Thank you, your sign-up request was successful! Please check your e-mail inbox.

Screech-Owl Project
Eastern Screech-Owls are the most common owl species in North America, yet little is known about their habitat needs or population dynamics. To fill knowledge gaps – and get citizens involved in science linked to conservation – RMBO enlists volunteers to monitor Eastern Screech-Owls along the Cache la Poudre River in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Volunteers visit sites along the Poudre River from early March to late May to collect data on the presence of Eastern Screech-Owls, other owls and additional factors. The data contributes to our understanding of Eastern Screech-Owl populations along this important urban natural area and informs management and restoration of the Poudre River to benefit owls, other wildlife and people.
This is a great opportunity to:

Walked into the unassuming store front today and was blown away by this little neighborhood cafe. Tried the pork sandwich, after seeing another table's delicious plate, and was blown away. Washed that down with some blood orange iced tea and left a new man. Great attention to detail gives this spot a hip cozy atmosphere. I heard I need to try the coffee and hot chocolate so I'll be back.

Historical perspective on N.J.'s jobs picture
Posted By Michael Symons On October 22, 2009 @ 10:52 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
The number of jobs in New Jersey reached its lowest level in 10 years in September, at 3,917,700.
Private-sector employment shrank by 12,000 in September, following two months of gains that had ended 17 months of losses. Also, the private-sector gains from August were slashed by one-third, from 2,900 to 1,900. The number of private-sector jobs in New Jersey is now at its lowest point since December 1998.
Public-sector employment shrank by 700 in September, its fifth straight month of declines. The number of government jobs in the state is now at its lowest level since July 2007.
Between January 1999 and September 2009, the state's supply of private sector jobs fell by 4,400, or 0.1%. Public sector employment in that decade-plus was up by 69,700 jobs, or 12.1%.
The revisions to the August jobs data, by the way, trimmed back overall employment by 100 jobs, but that still meant the number of jobs rose by 700 from July to August, the state's first monthly gain since late 2007.

Are Women Human?
Eerdmans Publishing Company, Aug 6, 2005 - Literary Collections - 69 pages
Introduction by Mary McDermott Shideler
One of the first women to graduate from Oxford University, Dorothy Sayers pursued her goals whether or not what she wanted to do was ordinarily understood to be "feminine." Sayers did not devote a great deal of time to talking or writing about feminism, but she did explicitly address the issue of women's role in society in the two classic essays collected here.
Central to Sayers's reflections is the conviction that both men and women are first of all human beings and must be regarded as essentially much more alike than different. We are to be true not so much to our sex as to our humanity. The proper role of both men and women, in her view, is to find the work for which they are suited and to do it.
Though written several decades ago, these essays still offer in Sayers's piquant style a sensible and conciliatory approach to ongoing gender issues.

As winter storm "Juno" threatens to snow in a large swath of the U.S., we're making sure we're ready for whatever this weather brings. If you or a loved one is bracing for the storm, take heed of the following reminders for pet parents.
• Store up activities for dogs and cats to do while you're together indoors.
• Stock up ahead of time on all pet food and medicine your animals may need over the weekend—travel may be much more difficult or impossible in the event of a blizzard.
• Prepare for a power outage, especially if your family includes fish, reptiles or pocket pets.
• Have a coat and booties ready for any dog who needs them. Be ready to protect your pets from very strong wind and cold.
• Make sure your pets wear identification at all times (even better: have them microchipped as well) to dramatically increase your chances of reunification should one become lost.
• Keep your dog on a leash after heavy snowfall. Dogs are much more likely to get lost during winter, especially during and after a blizzard.
• Watch out for ice melts! Snow-melting salt can be very painful to dogs' feet and can make pups ill if ingested, so make sure to clean off your dog's paws with a moist washcloth after a walk.

When Richard C. noticed that his cat, Misha, was drooling and wincing when she tried to eat, he immediately knew something was wrong. He took the green-eyed, orange tabby to the ASPCA Animal Hospital (AAH), where she was diagnosed with lymphocytic plasmacytic stomatitis, a severe inflammation of the mouth that can also affect the gums. The chronic, rapidly-progressive condition was making it nearly impossible for Misha to eat.
During Misha's two-hour procedure, Dr. Maren Krafchik extracted 12 teeth, including molars, incisors, baby teeth, and a fractured front canine tooth before closing the gaps in Misha's gum tissue with dissolvable stitches. Three teeth remain.
"Cats are highly sensitive and prone to inflammatory reactions," said Dr. Krafchik, noting that Misha's condition was not uncommon. But she added that treatment with medications alone will not solve the problem; dental work is needed to relieve animals like Misha from inflammation and pain.
One of the most common maladies seen by AAH staff is dental disease. In 2014, our team performed nearly 850 dental procedures on dogs and cats, ranging from simple cleaning and extractions to treatment for advanced periodontal disease.
"Leaving a sick mouth untreated presents major risks," says Dr. Janice Fenichel, one of 10 veterinarians at AAH who routinely perform dental procedures. Health risks of untreated dental issues in pets include jaw fractures due to bone destruction and damage to organs caused by chronic bacterial infection in the mouth. Kidneys in particular are often injured by untreated oral disease.
"Many pets have multiple diseased teeth," says Dr. Louise Murray, vice president of AAH. "Pets with dental disease are often in severe pain—imagine having not just one toothache, but many."
ASPCA veterinarians frequently find inflamed gums in cats. In 75 percent of adult cats, dental problems require extractions. Fractured teeth and periodontal disease are the most common dental problems in dogs seen at AAH.
To prevent pet dental problems, Dr. Fenichel says there is "no substitute" for brushing. Dogs should have their mouths screened during regular exams, and all pets should get twice-yearly dental checkups when they reach their senior years.
She stresses dentals "are not about cosmetics," but rather, "keeping important teeth in your pet's mouth and keeping your pet comfortable."
"So often, clients express fear that if their pet loses all of his teeth, 'How will he manage?'" she adds. "The truth is, after a much-needed dental, they're eating a lot more comfortably than when they had a mouthful of awful teeth."
That's certainly true for Misha, who these days doesn't let her almost-empty mouth stand in the way of a good meal.
For more information, check out our "Ten Steps to Dental Health" for cats and for dogs.
At the ASPCA, we encourage all pet parents to spay/neuter their pets. There are so many benefits associated with these procedures, but many pet parents may not be aware that it can be dangerous to not spay their pets until it's almost too late.
One day last spring, Sandra R. noticed that her eight-year-old cat, Petra, wasn't eating. Her belly distended, she vomited and was lethargic—far from her normal self. Sandra decided to bring Petra to the ASPCA Animal Hospital (AAH).
Petra was suffering from a pyometra, an infection of the uterus that that can be fatal in cats and dogs. Pyometra usually occurs in older females, with about 25 percent of them suffering from pyometra before the age of 10. Radiographs showed Petra's distended belly containing a greatly enlarged uterus filled with pus. Once removed by Dr. Maren Krafchik, the uterus weighed almost three lbs.—a third of Petra's total weight. Fortunately, Petra has since made a full recovery.
Dogs are equally susceptible to pyometra infection. Gershon C., a retired sanitation worker who lives in Queens, took notice when his 10-year-old Rottweiler, Princess, had not eaten for several days and was drinking water excessively.
He brought her to the ASPCA, where veterinarian Dr. Marisa Altieri suspected a pyometra. Her diagnosis was spot on, and an ultrasound showed that Princess's uterus had ruptured in two places. Dr. Altieri set about surgery immediately, removing the uterus, which weighed 20 lbs.
Princess underwent treatment for a pyometra infection at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
While pyometra is preventable, it is one of the most common maladies treated at AAH. Our veterinarians performed 145 surgeries to remove pyometras in 2014 alone—nearly three per week.
It's best to spay a pet before she goes into heat; around four months of age is ideal. If your unspayed female shows signs of lethargy, poor appetite, excessive water drinking, vaginal discharge, excessive urination, pale mucous membranes (gum color), vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, or abdominal enlargement, take her to a veterinarian immediately.
To learn more about the health benefits of spaying or neutering your pet, please visit our Pet Care section.
Petra has made a full recovery since her surgery.
Courage, a 10-year-old Dachshund with a graying muzzle, is usually fast on her feet—active and frisky despite her age. But soon after Thanksgiving, her family—siblings Michael and Donna and their parents—noticed Courage, or "Curry" for short, was drinking more water than usual, urinating more often and moping around the house.
Two days later, at the ASPCA Animal Hospital (AAH), Curry was diagnosed as diabetic.
Curry's symptoms are common among pets with diabetes, a disease that occurs when a body does not make enough or respond normally to insulin, a hormone manufactured by the pancreas that controls blood sugar levels.
The precise frequency of diabetes in dogs and cats is not known and can vary depending on the breed, but it is seen in both species. In dogs, diabetes is more common in females; in cats, it's slightly more common in males.
"Most diabetic dogs are similar to humans with Type 1 diabetes; their pancreas is unable to make enough insulin," explains Dr. Louise Murray, vice president of AAH. "In dogs, the most common causes are a dysfunctional immune system that damages the pancreas, or pancreatic injury that occurs due to an inflammatory condition called pancreatitis."
Dr. Murray says canine diabetes can also occur as a side effect of medication, particularly steroids. It can also result from certain diseases like Cushing's or an excess of certain hormones, which sometimes happens when a dog is not spayed.
Diabetes in felines, on the other hand, is more similar to Type 2 diabetes in humans. Its most common causes in cats: obesity and an excess of carbohydrates in the diet, which exhaust the pancreas. It can also occur in cats with pancreatitis or who are given steroids.
Feline diabetes can be reversible with insulin administration, a high protein/low-carb diet and maintenance of a healthy weight, allowing the pancreas to rest and regain the ability to manufacture adequate insulin. But diabetes will recur if cats go back to an inappropriate diet.
Unfortunately diabetes is not curable in dogs, and the vast majority of diabetic dogs require insulin injections for life once diagnosed. However, addressing underlying causes, as well as spaying females and treating Cushing's disease, can allow the diabetes to be more easily and successfully controlled.
"Diabetic pets can have a wonderful quality of life if their owners commit to giving them twice-daily insulin injections and monitor them closely," says Dr. Jill Pomrantz, an internist at AAH.
After her diagnosis, Curry began receiving treatment is back to being her bubbly, high-spirited self. Donna, who has had experience with diabetic pets, administers Curry's twice-daily insulin shots and monitors her glucose levels.
"I know this process is not fixed overnight, but she looks much better and is more energetic," Donna says. "The hardest part is not caving in to her pleas for treats all the time." Curry loves celery, however, so that's often provided as a substitute.

It's getting cold outside! As the mercury drops, it's important to make sure our furry friends are staying warm this winter. Just as for humans,, too much exposure to winter's dry, cold air and unpredictable wet weather like rain, sleet and snow can spell discomfort for our pets and result in chapped paws and itchy, flaky skin.
If the weather is too cold for you, it's likely too cold for your pet as well. Help protect pets from cold weather dangers and keep them safe, happy and healthy this winter with these handy tips from our experts.
1. Rapid temperature changes caused by repeatedly coming out of the wet cold into the dry heat can often cause itchy and flaky skin. Make sure to keep your home humidified and towel dry your pet as soon as he comes inside—be sure to give feet and the space between toes extra attention!
2. During cold spells, bathing your pets too often can remove necessary oils from their skin and fur, and can increase the change of skin irritation. Bathe your pets as little as possible during cold snaps, and if your pup must be bathed, ask your vet to recommend a moisturizing shampoo or rinse.
3. Longer coats provide more warmth during the coldest months, so give your pets a good brushing! Regular brushing not only gets rid of dead hair, it stimulates blood circulation to improve skin's overall condition.
4. Dress your pet in a sweater or coat when they head outdoors. This will help retain body heat and prevent skin from getting dry or inflamed during winter walks.
5. Pets burn extra energy by trying to stay warm during the winter. Feed your pet a little bit of extra food during the cold weather and make sure plenty of water is available to keep pets well-hydrated and prevent skin dryness.
6. Winter walks can turn dangerous quickly if chemicals from ice-melting agents are licked off legs and paws. Throughout wipe off your dog's legs, paws and stomach when he first comes inside and be sure to clean up any spills from your vehicle. Consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol.
7. Remember, pets should stay indoors as much as possible during winter months and never leave your pup alone in the car!
