High rates of antibiotic resistance in both children and adults have been found in rural Utah and Idaho
For instance four out of 10 children in most communities carry disease-causing bacteria? And the fact is 40percent of that bacteria is resistant to antibiotics? If this sounds threatening, it should. This is what is being discovered all around the country including Price. Antibiotic resistant infections can be deadly, especially for young children and the elderly. In addition, resistant infections cost American citizens $30 billion dollars in extra health care each year.
In an effort to fight antibiotic resistance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have funded researchers at the University of Utah to implement the Intermountain Project on Antimicrobial Resistance and Therapy (IMPART). The aim of IMPART is to study and monitor the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria throughout Utah and Idaho. In cooperation with pharmacies, clinics, and community members, the IMPART study team recently tested children in rural areas for resistant bacteria. They found that 41percent of the bacteria found in healthy children were resistant to antibiotics. The study also found that children were more likely to have a resistant form of bacteria if they had recently taken antibiotics or if a sibling had recently taken antibiotics.
One of the most important things that can be done to slow antibiotic resistance is to avoid unnecessary antibiotic use. The CDC has estimated that up to 50percent of antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary. This means that doctors frequently prescribe and patients pay for medications that are not needed. People who take antibiotics for colds, flu, or bronchitis feel just as sick for just as long as those who don't. In other words, antibiotics will not reduce the length or severity of viral infections.
Here are some tips suggested by doctors and the researchers with IMPART to protect individuals and families from antibiotic resistant infections.
Don't use antibiotics for viruses like colds, bronchitis, and the flu.
Don't request antibiotics from your doctor.
Throw away unused antibiotics
Never save or share antibiotics
Take antibiotic prescriptions precisely as directed by the doctor.
Continued misuse of antibiotics will produce bacteria resistant to more and more drugs. Unless something is done soon this cycle will continue until there are no longer any antibiotics available to treat bacterial infections.
Antibiotic overuse is a worldwide health concern, but combating the problem begins with the individual.
Many people go to the doctor expecting to get antibiotics. After all, most people want to go home with a medication that will make them feel better. When people have colds or the flu they can feel absolutely awful, and become desperate for something to take away the misery. What many people don't know, however, is that antibiotics will only work for bacterial infections. Antibiotics do not reduce the length or severity of viral infections such as colds, the flu, and bronchitis. Unfortunately, many antibiotics prescribed in the U.S. are being used to treat viral infections. This overuse of antibiotics is one of the major causes behind these deadly strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Common illnesses that antibiotics won't help
Caused by viruses and will not respond to antibiotics
Ear Infections
Bronchitis or "Chest Cold"
Sore Throats
Studies have found that patients who go to the doctor expecting an antibiotic are more likely to get an antibiotic prescription, even if they don't need one. These studies have also shown that some doctors will agree to prescribe antibiotics for viral infections to keep their patients satisfied. When pressed for time, these doctors may feel that it is easier to write a prescription for antibiotics than take the time to explain why antibiotics would not be useful in a given situation.
The key to fighting antibiotic resistance on a personal level is to communicate well with the doctor. Anytime a person goes to the doctor they should walk away with four important questions answered.
Is my illness caused by a virus or bacteria?
When should I expect to feel better?
When should I call your office or come back if I'm not feeling better?
What can I do at home to feel better?
By getting the answers to these questions, people can help in the fight against antibiotic resistance by avoiding unnecessary use. Just knowing that antibiotics will not help a viral infection is a step in the right direction.
Viruses and bacteria cause most common infections. Bacterial infections, such as strep throat and pneumonia, can be treated with antibiotics, which are powerful medicines specifically designed to fight bacteria. Infections caused by viruses include colds, flu, bronchitis (which is also known as a chest cold), and most ear and sinus infections. Unlike bacterial infections, viral illnesses do not respond to antibiotics. Viral infections are typically eliminated by the immune system within two to three weeks. When a virus causes an illness, it is often best to treat the symptoms with over-the-counter cold and cough remedies.
It is important to determine the cause of an illness in order to ensure proper treatment is given. There are a few ways to help distinguish whether an illness is bacterial or viral. Doctors in the Price area may have a guide or booklet to help people decide if their illness is more likely to be viral or bacterial.
These self-care guides contain a chart outlining the symptoms of common illnesses. After consulting the chart and determining the likely cause of an illness, individuals will find treatment suggestions to relieve discomfort and an estimate of how long they can expect to be ill. These guides can be a valuable resource in better understanding the cause of illnesses and in guiding people to help themselves or a family member feel better.
The fact is, long held beliefs regarding the use of antibiotics have changed drastically in recent years. Bacteria are becoming resistant to the antibiotics once used to treat them and the discovery that antibiotic resistant bacteria are on the rise concerns many doctors.
In fact, the CDC, the World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO) consider antibiotic resistance a high priority, and spend millions of dollars each year to combat the problem. Many people today fear the impending threat of bioterrorism, but a hidden biological danger of our own making (antibiotic resistance) is already growing in every community.
This past week, health care professionals from IMPART visited the Carbon County area and visited with almost all health care officials and providers. They have provided materials and pamphlets that those professionals can provide to clients.
If your doctor or health care professional does not have these guides, you can get one provided by the Intermountain Project on Antimicrobial Resistance and Therapy (IMPART) by calling 1-801-585-7067.

Mandrake 9.0 Questions:
I just installed Mandrake 9.0: some questions on how to get things to work >
(1).I have an external hard drive and a external DVD Rom hooked up via my Audigy Firewire connector.How do I mount these devices? In the Mandrake Control Center > Hardware section > both devices are listed there as follows:
DVD > Liteon > /dev/scd1
Hard drive > /dev/sda
I tried mounting the devices thru the Control Center.
In the Hardware listings for the hard drive I saw the following listed for the hard drive:
Old Device file: /dev/sda
New devfs device: scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
There was a similar listing for the dvd rom also.
How do I mount the hard drive with the above info?
Do I have to edit /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab?
(2). Using Xine > the path to the dvd rom > default is /dev/dvd.Do I put in the new devfs device path for that?
(3).Parallel Port Scanner > HP Scanjet 3200C > In the Control Center > I used the Scanner configuration utility > selected my scanner > start xsane > no device found.I have been trying to get this to work in Mandrake 8.2> From the info I gathered I guess I need to get PPSCSI low level drivers to work.Read that the UMAX_pp(?)file was the one I needed to use.
How do I get this to work? I've no success in 8.2 either > get confused on trying to get the ppscsi drivers/module(?) to work and what config file needs to be edited > what needs to be put in the /etc/modules.config file.
Any help will be appreciated.

AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Pitbull dressed up and Ke$ha went casual for American Music Awards rehearsals.
The entertainers popped by the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Friday to practice the performances they've planned for Sunday's show.
Ke$ha was surrounded by male dancers as she bounced around the stage in sneakers, striped leggings and a torn black T-shirt. She played a giant golden drum, and closed the rendition of her new hit "Die Young" by writhing on stage as fireworks rained down overhead.
Pitbull, fresh off his performance at Thursday's Latin Grammy Awards, arrived wearing crisp white pants, a red polo shirt and a tan blazer. He ditched the blazer and added shades to rehearse "Don't Stop the Party," for which he shares the stage with two drummers, two keyboardists, two ballerinas and a DJ.

Presented by:Daniel Starczynowski, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Division of Experimental Hematology and Cancer Biology Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
Research projects in the laboratory rely on a variety of cellular, molecular, biochemical, and mouse genetic approaches to evaluate novel genes and singling pathways implicated in MDS and AML. Dr. Starczynowski's research program evaluates the role of the innate immune pathway in normal HSC and in MDS. Broader initiatives involve characterizing novel candidate genes (including miRNAs) relevant to MDS, dissecting molecular and cellular alterations in MDS (and related hematologic malignancies) and attempting to identify novel therapeutics.

Please, show us your code
The 1991 Science paper by Friis-Christensen & Lassen, work by Henrik Svensmark (Physical Review Letters), and calculations done by Scafetta & West (in the journals Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Geophysical Research, and Physics Today) have inspired the idea that the recent warming is due to changes in the sun, rather than greenhouse gases.
We have discussed these papers before here on RealClimate (here, here, and here), and I think it's fair to say that these studies have been fairly influential one way or the other. But has anybody ever seen the details of the methods used, or the data? I believe that a full disclosure of their codes and data would really boost the confidence in their work, if they were sound. So if they believe so strongly that their work is solid, why not more transparency?
There is a recent story in the British paper The Independent, where Friis-Christensen and Svensmark responded to the criticism forwarded by Peter Laut (here). All this would perhaps be unnecessary if they had disclosed their codes and data.
Gavin and I published a paper in Journal of Geophysical Research, where we tested the general approach used by Scafetta & West, and tried to repeat their analysis. We were up-front about our lack of success in a 100% replication of their work, but we argue that the any pronounced effect – as claimed by Scafetta & West – should be detectable even if the set-up is not 100% identical.
However, Scafetta does not accept our analysis and has criticized me for lacking knowledge about wavelet analysis – he tells me to read the text books. So I asked him to post his code openly on the Internet so that others could repeat our test with their code. That should settle our controversy.
After repeated requests, he told me that he doesn't really understand why I'm not able to write my own program to reproduce the calculations (actually, I did in the paper together with Gavin, but Scafetta wouldn't accept our analysis), and keeps insulting me by telling me to take a course on wavelet analysis. Furthermore, he stated that there "are several other and even more serious problems" in our work. I figure then that the easiest way to get to the bottom of this issue it to repeat our tests with his code.
A replication in general doesn't require full disclosure of source code because the description in the paper should be sufficient, though in this case it clearly wasn't. So to both save having us do it again and perhaps miss some other little detail – in addition to using an algorithm that Scafetta is happy with – it's worth getting the code with which to validate our efforts.
It should be a common courtesy to provide methods requested by other scientists in order to speedily get to the essence of the issue, and not to waste time with the minutiae of which year is picked to end the analysis.

42 U.S. Code § 618 - Funding for child care
(a) General child care entitlement
(1) General entitlement
Subject to the amount appropriated under paragraph (3), each State shall, for the purpose of providing child care assistance, be entitled to payments under a grant under this subsection for a fiscal year in an amount equal to the greater of—
(A) the total amount required to be paid to the State under section 603 of this title for fiscal year 1994 or 1995 (whichever is greater) with respect to expenditures for child care under subsections (g) and (i) ofsection 602 of this title (as in effect before October 1, 1995); or
(2) Remainder
(A) Grants
The Secretary shall use any amounts appropriated for a fiscal year under paragraph (3), and remaining after the reservation described in paragraph (4) and after grants are awarded under paragraph (1), to make grants to States under this paragraph.
(B) Allotments to States
The total amount available for payments to States under this paragraph, as determined under subparagraph (A), shall be allotted among the States based on the formula used for determining the amount of Federal payments to each State under section 603 (n) of this title (as in effect before October 1, 1995).
(C) Federal matching of State expenditures exceeding historical expenditures
The Secretary shall pay to each eligible State for a fiscal year an amount equal to the lesser of the State's allotment under subparagraph (B) or the Federal medical assistance percentage for the State for the fiscal year (as defined in section 1396d (b) of this title, as such section was in effect on September 30, 1995) of so much of the State's expenditures for child care in that fiscal year as exceed the total amount of expenditures by the State (including expenditures from amounts made available from Federal funds) in fiscal year 1994 or 1995 (whichever is greater) for the programs described in paragraph (1)(A).
(D) Redistribution
(i) In general With respect to any fiscal year, if the Secretary determines (in accordance with clause (ii)) that any amounts allotted to a State under this paragraph for such fiscal year will not be used by such State during such fiscal year for carrying out the purpose for which such amounts are allotted, the Secretary shall make such amounts available in the subsequent fiscal year for carrying out such purpose to one or more States which apply for such funds to the extent the Secretary determines that such States will be able to use such additional amounts for carrying out such purpose. Such available amounts shall be redistributed to a State pursuant to section 603 (n) of this title (as such section was in effect before October 1, 1995) by substituting "the number of children residing in all States applying for such funds" for "the number of children residing in the United States in the second preceding fiscal year".
(ii) Time of determination and distribution The determination of the Secretary under clause (i) for a fiscal year shall be made not later than the end of the first quarter of the subsequent fiscal year. The redistribution of amounts under clause (i) shall be made as close as practicable to the date on which such determination is made. Any amount made available to a State from an appropriation for a fiscal year in accordance with this subparagraph shall, for purposes of this part, be regarded as part of such State's payment (as determined under this subsection) for the fiscal year in which the redistribution is made.
(3) Appropriation
For grants under this section, there are appropriated $2,917,000,000 for fiscal year 2012.
(4) Indian tribes
The Secretary shall reserve not less than 1 percent, and not more than 2 percent, of the aggregate amount appropriated to carry out this section in each fiscal year for payments to Indian tribes and tribal organizations.
(5) Data used to determine State and Federal shares of expenditures
In making the determinations concerning expenditures required under paragraphs (1) and (2)(C), the Secretary shall use information that was reported by the State on ACF Form 231 and available as of the applicable dates specified in clauses (i)(I), (ii), and (iii)(III) of section 603 (a)(1)(D) [1] of this title.
(b) Use of funds
(1) In general
Amounts received by a State under this section shall only be used to provide child care assistance. Amounts received by a State under a grant under subsection (a)(1) of this section shall be available for use by the State without fiscal year limitation.
(2) Use for certain populations
A State shall ensure that not less than 70 percent of the total amount of funds received by the State in a fiscal year under this section are used to provide child care assistance to families who are receiving assistance under a State program under this part, families who are attempting through work activities to transition off of such assistance program, and families who are at risk of becoming dependent on such assistance program.
(c) Application of Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, amounts provided to a State under this section shall be transferred to the lead agency under the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 [42 U.S.C. 9858 et seq.], integrated by the State into the programs established by the State under such Act, and be subject to requirements and limitations of such Act.
(d) "State" defined
As used in this section, the term "State" means each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia.

By MICHAEL OVERSONSun Advocate reporter
Lacey Henry, a recent college graduate from CEU could be a poster child for ambition and the determination required to better yourself. What makes her story so special is that Henry was in the Utah Foster Care System for four years.
At 14, she was placed with her first foster family, a single mother with no other children. After some time a foster sister was placed in the woman's care as well. Living in that home for a year was difficult for Henry.
"It was very strict, I couldn't do much. It wasn't even in the plans for me to ever get my license," Henry said. It was during that time that she decided to become involved with cross-country as a way of having time to herself. She also became involved with the foster care program in the state.
After a situation arose, forcing her foster mother to move, she was placed in a home in Ferron. It was at this house is where her life turned into something positive. Living in a two parent home with four siblings, Henry was opened up to new possibilities. It was there that college was first talked about. "At 15 I never thought about college and they started talking about it. I'm in a lot better situation than I was," she said.
"I have a strong desire to better my situation, I want to pursue something in the medical field because I want to help people," Henry said.
That family allowed her to be like any other teen. She was able to start working so she had her own money. She received her license and currently has her own car. She was able to hang out with friends. All of these things were done in an effort to make her life easier and live like any other child would. "I think if you pull the reigns then children will end up rebeling, but if you give them freedom as they go along things will turn out better," she said.
Kobi Marchello, area representative with the Utah Foster Care Foundation said, "I think that it is smart for foster parents to allow the children to act like normal kids. There is a fine balance between keeping them safe but giving enough freedom."
Being involved with the foster care program, Henry was able to attend several conferences as well as one in Washington D.C.
"It was awesome, in every state the rules are very different and it was interesting to compare notes with other kids," she said.
One thing that set Henry apart from other foster children is the desire to make the most of her situation that she possesses. "Make the most of your situation, you can't always be sad or down on yourself. In the end you will benefit from it," she said.
"Instead of seeing it as negative she really got involved and took everything she could from the experience. She has been doing really well on her own getting things like an apartment and car. She works to support herself. She received a scholarship for her grades and FAFSA from the government," Marchello said.
All isn't roses and rainbows in foster care though. Transitioning between homes can be very stressful for all involved. Having parents who are strict and don't allow children to act like normal kids can take its toll too. Henry was lucky in the sense that she moved from Carbon to Emery county but the reality is that there are not enough foster parents in Castle Country to take care of the need that is there. Older children tend to move around more than the younger ones do. In high school that can be detrimental to to the kids. "A lot of kids age out (turn 18) and end up pregnant or in trouble," Henry concluded. A drive to better yourself is necessary to the successful completion of school and the program, according to Henry.
"There are a variety of foster kids, the more stable their environment is affects how they will come out," Marchello concluded.

|Written by WCSD Press Release
|Monday, 04 October 2010 13:38
The Watauga County Sheriff's Office Special Operations Division arrested three individuals involved in the sell and distribution of Schedule II Roxycodone. The investigation stemmed from a vehicle stop which occurred in the parking lot of Pizza Hut in Boone.
As a result of the vehicle stop, detectives located and seized 49 Roxycodone tablets as well as 32.2 grams of marijuana. A search warrant was later executed on Joseph Lake Bey's (the driver of the vehicle) residence of 203 Kimberly Drive, Apartment 5. The search warrant resulted in the seizure of 64 Roxycodone Tablets (Level 1 Trafficking), 184.3 grams of marijuana, and $3,380 in US currency. The combined number of Roxycodone tablets totaled 113 with an estimated street value of $3,390. 30mg Roxycodone typically sells for $30 per pill. The marijuana had an estimated street value of $3,000.

Also see Bovine Secondary Recumbency and see Limb Paralysis.
This rare condition results from paralysis of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles caused by damage to the sixth and seventh cervical nerves. Acute trauma to the prescapular area (eg, struggling into a head gate) produces a nonspecific ataxia immediately after the injury. Several days after the injury, the muscles may show signs of wasting, indicating the possibility of permanent damage.
Chronic injury to the nerves causes marked wasting of the muscles within weeks. A specific gait aberration develops. The stride is shorter than normal; when weight is borne on the limb, it tends to swivel. In some cases, the cause may be nerve compression in or around the vertebrae (eg, an abscess or fracture), which may be identified on radiographs.
If the trauma is complicated, primary treatment must be directed toward resolving the immediate problem. However, if the clinical presentation suggests that the injury is localized to the nerve, immediate treatment with steroids or other anti-inflammatory agents is appropriate.
Distal radial paralysis results in an inability to extend the carpus and digit. Proximal radial paralysis prevents the animal from extending the elbow, carpus, and fetlock to bear weight.
The proximal radial nerve may be injured by stretching close to the brachial plexus, in which case the triceps muscles as well as the extensors of the carpus and digits may be compromised. The damage is frequently associated with casting an animal with ropes or with any situation in which the forelimb is accidentally restrained and the animal struggles violently to free itself. Either distal or proximal radial paralysis can result from prolonged recumbency in very heavy animals.
The distal radial nerve is vulnerable to injury in the musculospiral groove of the humerus, either from fractures or deep soft-tissue trauma. A lesion of the nerve proximal to the sulcus for the brachial muscle causes proximal radial paralysis.
In proximal radial paralysis, the elbow drops, the carpus and fetlock are in partial flexion, and the limb is usually dragged. In distal radial paralysis, because the triceps muscles remain functional, dropping of the elbow is minimal. However, paresis affecting carpal and fetlock position is present.
Rapid improvement can be expected in most cases. Animals should be confined in a generously bedded stall. Anti-inflammatory drugs may be helpful, particularly in the early hours after the initial trauma. If skin sensation in the forelimb has been completely lost, the prognosis is guarded. When the condition persists for ≥2 wk, damage is likely permanent and the prognosis is grave.
(Sciatic paralysis)
Damage to the ischiatic and obturator nerves after intrapelvic parturient trauma may cause recumbency after calving. It may be a component of the downer cow syndrome (see Bovine Secondary Recumbency). The tibial and peroneal nerves are branches of the ischiatic nerve that can be damaged at extrapelvic sites.
Passage of a calf through the pelvis exerts pressure on the obturator nerve. The close association of the obturator nerve with the origin of the ischiatic nerve can complicate the interpretation of clinical signs.
Because the adductors are innervated by the obturator nerve, an animal adopts a base-wide stance or, in recumbency, a sitting position with both hindlimbs extended forward. There is considerable risk that the adductor muscles will be damaged and that permanent recumbency will result. In addition to the base-wide stance, knuckling of the fetlock may be present. This indicates injury of the ischiatic nerve. Both conditions may contribute to the downer cow syndrome (see Bovine Secondary Recumbency).
If obturator paralysis is recognized early enough, vigorous measures should be adopted to prevent complications involving the adductor muscles. The animal should be immediately transferred to a site where there is good footing (eg, a base of tenacious manure over which clean straw has been spread) to prevent slippage when the animal attempts to rise. The hindlimbs can be tied together with a soft nylon strap fixed below the hocks. The limbs are restrained from "spreading" >3 ft (1 m) apart.
In femoral paralysis, paralysis of the quadriceps muscles, which extend the stifle, and partial paralysis of the psoas major muscle, which flexes the hip, are seen.
Femoral nerve paralysis is seen in large, newborn calves (eg, Charolais, Simmental) after the use of mechanical force during an assisted birth. Reduced quadriceps tonicity reduces tension on the patella with the result that a lateral patellar luxation may develop. Atrophy of the quadriceps soon becomes obvious and, although the patella can be replaced easily, the animal has extreme difficulty in walking. The condition may affect one or both limbs. The prognosis is related to the severity of the clinical signs.
Despite a fair or good prognosis, the animal may be unable to suckle unaided. The animal should be maintained in a well-bedded area, and colostrum should be given as soon as possible after birth. A radiographic study should be done to exclude fractures. The administration of anti-inflammatory drugs may be useful.
Peroneal paralysis results in paralysis of the muscles that flex the hock and extend the digits.
The peroneal nerve is the cranial division of the ischiatic nerve. It passes superficially over the lateral femoral condyle and the head of the fibula, which makes it vulnerable to external trauma or pressure from recumbency. An affected animal stands with the digit knuckled over onto the dorsal surface of the pastern and fetlock. The hock may appear to be overextended. In mild cases, the fetlock tends to knuckle over intermittently during ambulation; however, this may also occur if the animal is experiencing pain in the heels.
In severe cases, the dorsal surface of the hoof may be dragged along the ground, and sensation to the dorsum of the fetlock is often decreased. Testing of reflexes may demonstrate that hock flexion is absent, but stifle and hip flexion are normal. This would not be the case if the ischiatic nerve was involved.
Most cases resolve naturally. However, if the condition is associated with long periods of recumbency, care must be taken to avoid exacerbation of the initial injury.
In tibial paralysis, there is paralysis of the extensors of the hock and flexors of the digits.
The tibial nerve is the caudal branch of the ischiatic nerve, which, in its proximal course, is well protected by the gluteal muscles. Distally, it progresses beneath the tendon of the gastrocnemius muscle and can be damaged when the tendon is traumatized.
The hock joint is overflexed (dropped hock syndrome) and the fetlock is partially flexed. The gastrocnemius appears to be longer than normal and gives the impression that it or its tendon could be ruptured. The fetlock tends to be buckled, but the animal can walk and bear weight, although its attempts to do so are awkward. Compared with that seen in peroneal nerve injury, the gait disturbance is mild, but the postural disturbance could be permanent.
The use of anti-inflammatory drugs may be of value in the early stages. However, the primary efforts should be directed toward ensuring that the animal does not injure itself further, by maintaining it on surfaces with good footing.
(Progressive hindlimb paralysis)
Episodic, involuntary muscle contractions or spasms involving the hindlimbs are associated with postural and locomotor disturbances as well as spasticity. The condition may progress to posterior paresis or hindlimb paralysis. It is seen most frequently in Holstein and Guernsey cattle 3–7 yr old. Spastic syndrome is regarded as a genetic disease, possibly due to an autosomal dominant gene with incomplete penetrance. The pathology and pathophysiology remain obscure.
Clinical signs may vary in severity, duration, and frequency. Usually, some stimulus provokes the onset of clinical signs, such as the effort associated with rising or any factor that induces a significant emotional reaction. Pain, particularly in the feet or joints, may precipitate an attack. During an attack, the animal may be unable to move forward, stands trembling, and characteristically extends its hindlimbs backward. Between episodes, the animal can ambulate normally.
Spastic syndrome is progressive, and because of the possibility of genetic transmission, animals (particularly bulls used for artificial insemination) are best eliminated as soon as a positive diagnosis is made. Palliative treatment for animals in the peak of production may be helpful. Mephenesin (30–40 mg/kg, PO, for 2–3 days) may be given during an episode. Phenylbutazone may also have beneficial effects.
(Elso heel)
Spastic paresis is a progressive unilateral or bilateral hyperextension of the hindlimb(s). It is seen sporadically in most breeds of cattle. Post-legged cattle are most frequently affected. Attempts to move are believed to simultaneously trigger contractions of both extensors and flexors of the limb. Spastic paresis is currently considered to be inherited via a recessive gene(s) with incomplete penetrance.
Spastic paresis
The disease may be seen within the first 6 mo of life. As the animal ages, the gastrocnemius muscles gradually contract. The hock and stifle become increasingly extended. Over a period of months, the hindlimbs become so stiff that the animal walks with short pendulum-like steps. If only one limb is affected, the animal stands with the affected limb camped back and the sound limb held toward the midline to maintain balance. If both hindlimbs are affected, the animal may attempt to bear more weight on the forelimbs by holding them well back and simultaneously arching its back.
There is no successful medical treatment. Because spastic paresis is heritable, affected animals (especially breeding bulls) should be eliminated from the herd. Palliative surgical treatment may be attempted, although ethical issues should be considered when breeding stock is involved. The procedures, usually performed on calves, include complete tenotomy of the gastrocnemius tendon, which results in a dropped hock; complete tibial neurectomy, which results in sufficient relief to permit a steer to be finished for slaughter; and partial tenectomy of the 2 insertions of the gastrocnemius muscle and the calcanean tendon sheath, which overcomes the problem of the dropped hock.

More Democrats distance themselves from Obama. It looks like there could be a lot of empty chairs at the Democratic Convention in Charlotte, N.C., in September. The latest defections include three Democratic Congressmen from the State hosting the convention. U.S. Representatives Hayden Rogers, Mike McIntyre and Larry Kissell say they'll be too busy campaigning to show up. Even more embarrassing for the national ticket, the three men have declined to endorse Barack Obama for re-election.
Would you pay to get off a plane faster? Many airline passengers are already paying extra to board faster or get a preferred seat near the front. Pretty soon you may be able to be first in line to get off — by paying another fee, of course. George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, says it just makes sense: "They're willing to pay to board early and sit in those uncomfortable seats, so why wouldn't they pay for the reverse?" All those extra charges really add up. According to the Transportation Department's Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in just the first three months of this year, airlines collected $816 million in baggage fees and another $631 million for changes in reservations.

Results tagged "Ad serving" from IABlog
Discrepancies are one of the biggest headaches in the digital advertising ecosystem, but they are also something everyone deals with. As the industry has matured, standards have been created and adopted, vendor offerings and tracking have become more consistent, the internet has become faster and more stable and as a result the difference between two parties' counts has decreased to an acceptable percentage (most of the time). Then, new technology is introduced that stirs the water and discrepancy percentages can become all over the place again. The mobile ecosystem has introduced an array of devices, operation systems and versions, applications and even new behaviors to the mix. Not to mention the inconsistency of a user's connection when moving around in the physical world.
All these new variables can be quite intimidating. How would you ever know where to start investigating a mobile discrepancy? Luckily it is not as scary as it sounds. While it is true there are additional variables to take into consideration, the most common root causes still boil down to the same ones the industry has experienced for years with desktop campaigns: human error, when ad calls are made in the ad serving sequence, and differences in vendors reporting and targeting offerings.
- Human Error - The more manual steps needed to launch a campaign, the more room there is for errors to occur which may result in discrepancies. With new vendors and products plus the use of code based HTML5 creatives with many assets instead of a tidy flash file, the mobile marketplace isn't as automated as the desktop marketplace.
- Ad Serving Sequencing - Just like with desktop campaigns there are often multiple parties tracking a single campaign. Typically all of the ad calls don't fire at once, even if they are all tracking the same thing. Latency and short session time common in mobile make the difference in ad calls a more significant variable than on desktop.
- Reporting - Every vendor has their secret sauce to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. Sometimes it has to do with the metrics they measure or how they validate traffic. As the mobile marketplace matures reporting offerings will be become more consistent, but until then it is important to make sure you are comparing the same things across reports.
- Targeting - Similar to reporting targeting offerings will differ in their features and capabilities. While this is true for desktop targeting as well there is more variability in mobile such as multiple ways to identify location.
IAB Mobile Marketing Center of Excellence's new document Mobile Discrepancies: Exploring common root causes gives more detailed explanations of common discrepancy causes for mobile campaigns. Providing ample time to test and QA campaigns before launch is the most important thing you can do to avoid large discrepancies. It is important to not just test that the creative works, but also confirm all parties are tracking the same thing, especially when working with new partners. If not, it doesn't matter what device you are running the campaign on, you are comparing apples to oranges. When these differences are discovered it is important to share that knowledge and work together to solve the problem. The more discrepancies causes are understood, the more they can be avoided fostering more trust in the mobile marketplace.

The Glenwood wrestling team split a double-dual last Tuesday in Atlantic.
The Rams dominated Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson 68-6 in a non-conference dual before being edged by the home Trojans 36-22 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference capper for both teams.
With the Glenwood victory the Trojans sealed up the conference crown with a perfect dual record of 18-0 overall and 9-0 in the conference. Glenwood finishes fourth with a conference record of 6-2 and an overall dual record of 9-6.
Glenwood native Eric Johansen has been named police chief for the city of Glenwood.
Mayor Kim Clark's appointment of Johansen was approved at last Tuesday's regular meeting of the Glenwood City Council. Johansen, who was sworn into office immediately following his appointment, will be paid $24.28 per hour and serve a six-month probationary period.
The Glenwood wrestling team earned four individual titles and had 13 wrestlers place in a second place team finish at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Wrestling Meet at Shenandoah on Saturday.
Council Bluffs Lewis Central was the team champion with 232 points to Glenwood's 199. Atlantic, who is undefeated in conference duals this season, finished third with 195 points. The Titans also had the most individual titles with four.
TABOR - The Fremont-Mills boys basketball team allowed just eight points in the first half and cruised to a 64-30 Corner Conference victory over Hamburg on Friday.
The win was the Knights' fourth straight and improved them to 9-8 overall, 6-3 in the conference.
"We played really well, especially on the defensive end," said Fremont-Mills coach Matt Thompson.
The Knights were without leading scorer and rebounder Nate Meier but got 19 points off the bench from junior guard Joey Carlson.
The Glenwood girls basketball team couldn't hold on to a seven-point fourth-quarter lead as Clarinda stormed back for a 58-46 overtime victory on Friday.
Trailing by seven with just over three minutes to go, Clarinda tied the score before Glenwood appeared to have the game in hand up 42-40 with :16 seconds left but the Cardinals managed to tie the game and send it to overtime. In the extra frame Clarinda outscored Glenwood 16-4.
The Glenwood boys basketball team overcame a "junk defense" and a slow start to post a 56-30 victory over Clarinda on Friday.
The Rams (8-6 overall, 7-5 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference) faced a Cardinal 1-3 zone with the fifth defender face-guarding leading-scorer Cole Darrow most of the night. While the Cardinals' defense held Darrow to just five points, 12 points below his average, the rest of the Rams stepped up on offense.
For the second straight year, the Glenwood Community School District has failed to pass an Instructional Support Levy.
On Tuesday, school district voters rejected the levy by a margin of 58 percent to 42 percent - 994 "No" votes to 717 "Yes" votes.
Voter turnout was nearly twice as large as last year when the special election ended in a 434-434 tie, denying passage by just a single vote.
As a surgical tech, Amy Vinton has seen many things in her medical career.
She's assisted in open heart surgeries, organ transplants, amputations and about any trauma surgery imaginable.
But nothing could have prepared Vinton, 26, for the things she saw as part of a medical team from Creighton University Medical Center that traveled to earthquake-ravaged Haiti for 10 days in January.
"There's nothing that could have prepared any of us for what we saw," Vinton said. "It was like the gates of hell."
Three more suspects have been arrested in a forgery scheme that bilked more than $11,000 from a Mills County charity that assists families in need during the holidays.
In addition to Dewey Stuart, 39, of Omaha, who was arrested in December, Mills County Attorney Marci McClellan said Stacey Barrett, 35, of Omaha, Tina Moore, 21, of Omaha, and Stephanie Moore, 25, of Omaha, have all been charged with forgery (a Class D felony) and on-going criminal conduct (a Class B felony). If convicted of both counts, they face up to 30 years in prison.
I'm going out on a limb and saying that the Glenwood Community School District's vote for an instructional support levy next Tuesday won't end up in a 434-434 tie like it did last year.
Will the levy get the votes needed for passage this year? Your guess is as good as mine.
The way the 2009 election and post-election unfolded is still one of the most unusual stories I've ever covered. Pass or fail, I expect things to unfold in a more conventional way this time around.

"Wednesday Addams" is going to be a married woman -- Christina Ricci just announced that she's engaged!
The 32-year-old "Addams Family" actress confirmed to US Weekly that she's set to wed her boyfriend James Heerdegen, a dolly grip who she met in 2011 while working on her quickly-canceled ABC series "Pan Am."
Ricci sported her rock to an event at The Grove in Los Angeles on Friday, and when asked about the ring she replied, "Yeah, [we got engaged] a couple months back." Way to keep a secret!
This will be the first marriage for Ricci, who was previously briefly engaged to comedian Owen Benjamin.

GAME DAY: CANADIENS AT ISLANDERS 7PM No Blizzard in Sight, Time to Right Ship is Now
For the first time in two years, the Montreal Canadiens are going to visit the Coliseum late in the year and there isn't a blizzard in the forecast. Last year, with a state of emergency declared in Nassau County a brave 3,000 people showed up to watch the two teams. Two years ago, 6,000 fans slogged through a December snowstorm between the same two teams. So what's a little rain in tonight's forecast?
On the ice for the Islanders
haven't won since October 15th and things are certainly getting awfully tight around the collar. Effort — which hasn't been seen a whole lot anyway — is not the only name of the game anymore if the team wants to be playing any meaningful games later in the season. Effort must be coupled with wins for there to be any hope in the season. The current slide is no season killer like last year's epic fail streak was. Not yet. This isn't insurmountable. But each loss edges the team closer to that point.
With a pair of four-day breaks to start the year, the Islanders have games-in-hand against every team in the NHL — yes, even the ones that were sent to Europe. They even have four games in hand against Carolina and Ottawa. So there's time. There are games. But results must now start to appear. 50 and 60 minute efforts must be the standard and they must lead to wins or at least many 'loser points.'
The turnaround, if it's going to happen, needs to start to take place before December 1st. But that's a tall order. Tonight, the Habs come to town and they're a solid team and 5-3 on the road. The Bruins who ran roughshod up and down the ice against the Isles a week ago are in town on Saturday before the Isles play four divisional games next week. Tough roads ahead.
Nabokov will start tonight, backed up by DiPietro. Lines are the same as Tuesday night (so I guess that means Okposo sits again).
Tests on Calvin De Haan came back with good results and he is listed day-to-day. Certainly good news there. (Fornabaio)
Black third jersey debuts on Wednesday against Philly. Here's your gratutitous ice girls third jersey debut. Maybe the team would play better with sparkles. (Isles Official)
I'll be in the press box for tonight's game. For up to the minute updates and to chat during the game, be sure to follow me on Twitter.

|Gas Prices Down for Labor Day...Highest in Boone
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 03 September 2010 06:57
Here's one we haven't seen in awhile—a major travel holiday, with gasoline pump prices falling. But don't get too happy—they're still higher than last Labor Day's prices. Two surveys released Monday showed gasoline prices dropped in the past week but remained higher than a year ago.
The average retail price for a gallon of unleaded regular was $2.708 a gallon Monday, according to AAA. It has dropped about 4.2 cents in the past week but is around 8.1 cents more than a year ago. The average gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in North Carolina is 6 cents higher than this time last year. The most expensive gasoline in the state is in Boone at $2.65 and the least expensive is in Fayetteville at $2.54, according to AAA. The national average was $2.704 a gallon in the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration weekly update.

Ok, now that the juvenile wordplay is out of our systems, let's get down to business. Today's topic, as you might have guessed, is the proper way to tuck your jeans into your boots. Chances are, you've got some am-I-doing-it-wrong anxiety around the subject (we know, we did). Hence, we looked to expert trendsetters like Miranda Kerr and Kate Moss for guidance. Their masterful tucking skills led us to devise this guide of seven, no-fail methods based on boot style. Read on for the 411.

26 Fashion Hacks Every Woman Should Know
For: Patent Leather Chelsea Boots…
Take a cue from Into The Gloss's Emily Weiss and scrunch up the jeans over the top of the shoe to add a tomboyish insouciance to the otherwise sleek silhouette of the shoe. It's all about alternating proportions here, folks.PHOTO CREDIT: Vanessa Jackman1/22
3.1 Phillip Lim…
Danny Chelsea Boots ($450) in Black2/22
For: Lace-Up Combat Boots…
Skip the denim entirely here. Instead, take a pair of loose-fitting trousers and blouse them up over the boot for a military chic look.

Sam Edelman…
Darwin Combat Boots ($160) in Black4/22
For: An Ankle Boot With a Stacked Heel…
If the boots have a wide brim like the Rag & Bone Newbury-esque pair that Amber Heard wore shopping in L.A., it's best to keep the jeans straight and clean (one trick is to tuck them into your socks).PHOTO CREDIT: AKM-GSI5/22
Addict Leather Ankle Boots ($120) in Burgundy6/22
For: Distressed Leather Boots…
Play off the boot's unstructured vibe with a messy tuck that looks like a happy accident. Don't try to make it neat or symmetrical, just tuck and go.

Isabel Marant…
Crisi Boots ($790) in Bronze8/22
For: Over-The-Knee Boots…
If you own a pair of skinny skinnies (like the kind that look painted on), now's the time to break them out. For shoes like Miranda Kerr's pair of Balmain Suede Thigh High Boots ($1,158), you want there to be no visual break between the jeans and the boots to give the illusion of endless legs.PHOTO CREDIT: Eagle Press/Startraksphoto.com9/22
Stuart Weitzman…
Suede Highland Boots ($750) in Black10/22
Western-Style Ankle Boots…
Much like the aforementioned wide-brim ankle boots, the jeans for a pair of Western-cut boots like Kate Moss's Isabel Marant version should be relatively straight and fitted with no fabric bulking around the ankle.PHOTO CREDIT: AKM-GSI11/22
For: Embellished Biker Boots…
With so much going on with the boot itself, it's best to keep the denim streamlined. Think: smooth and tight. But don't go too tight or it will clash with the relaxed, masculine feel of the shoe.

CANTON The line of traffic early Friday afternoon on the west side of the village was as long as it was during the initial stages of the $10 million reconstruction project as work crews laid sidewalks at the busy intersection of Main and Gouverneur streets.
But traffic delays were temporary and by mid-afternoon the traffic flow returned to normal.
After nearly two years of major construction in the heart of the village, downtown businesses, residents and motorists will soon sense normalcy.
New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald announced Friday the project is coming to an end. Work crews will remain in Canton to wrap up loose ends, likely until Thanksgiving.
The reconstruction project provides improved transportation infrastructure, increased pedestrian safety and updated public utilities in the village.
Late Friday afternoon, state DOT officials, representatives from general contractor Luck Bros. Inc., Plattsburgh, and town and village officials gathered in front of the municipal building for an End of Construction ribbon cutting and reception.
The two-year project revitalized approximately one mile of Route 11 in the village of Canton. The highway is a major commercial corridor in the region. The project addressed infrastructure needs, as well as mobility issues in the village. The project was developed with significant community input and includes enhanced pedestrian facilities.
Canton Town Supervisor David T. Button said, This is one of the biggest public works projects undertaken in our community in years, and a few folks in town may have lost their patience. But downtown Canton looks clean, attractive and progressive. And the traffic flow has been greatly improved. All of this should help us attract college students, businesses and residents looking for a progressive community to call home. Hats off to the team from NYSDOT and Luck Brothers, who delivered a quality project right on schedule.
Business district enhancements on the project include updated utilities and streetscape features such as ornamental lighting, brick pavers, and new plantings as well as crosswalks with bump-outs to enhance pedestrian safety. The residential district also received updated utilities and features to enhance the overall walkability of the community.

POTSDAM - The Potsdam College Foundation Board of Trustees recently honored State Senator Joseph Griffo for his instrumental role in securing full New York State funding for the SUNY Potsdam Performing Arts Center, which is now nearing completion.
The $55 million project is drawing to a close as the college prepares for a Dec. 4 ribbon cutting ceremony to open the doors to the state-of-the-art facility. The Foundation and Alumni Boards invited Sen. Griffo to join trustees for a preview tour of the building. They were joined by campus officials and faculty and students from the Department of Theatre and Dance.
Potsdam College Foundation Board of Trustees President Lynne Boles 74 presented Griffo with an honorary resolution thanking him for fighting for the Performing Arts Center funding, allowing the first new academic building in 40 years to be built on the SUNY Potsdam campus.
Whereas, State Senator Joseph Griffo was instrumental in securing full funding for the Performing Arts Center project through the State University of New York Construction Fund Capital Plan, obtaining full funding for the $55 million project through unwavering negotiations with senior leadership in his first term on the New York State Legislature, now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Potsdam College Foundation, Inc. Board of Trustees, in its mission of advancing SUNY Potsdam, hereby conveys its profound gratitude to State Senator Joseph Griffo, without whom this vision would not be possible, for his steadfast support and commitment to creativity at the College, and in the greater North Country as a whole, the resolution says.
The nearly 100,000-square-foot Performing Arts Center will house the growing Department of Theatre and Dance, bringing world class arts opportunities to the North Country for both campus and community. The center will open for classes in January, with a grand opening celebration complete with special performances scheduled for April 2014.
The Potsdam College Foundation is founded in the belief that, together, we can make great things happen — things that might not have otherwise been possible. I cant think of a better example than this remarkable building, Boles said. Senator Griffo, thank you so much for helping make this vision a reality.
This $55 million investment represents both a commitment to the arts and the economy of the North Country, said Griffo. The construction of this new Performing Arts Center has created an estimated 344 jobs and had an economic impact of $128 million. And when it opens, Im certain it will be well used. There are three times as many students majoring in theatre and dance at SUNY Potsdam than there were a decade ago, and Potsdam has the distinction of offering SUNYs first theatre education degree. The venue will also be a prime attraction for artists from around the world who want to present their work in our area. Im happy to have secured this funding.
The SUNY Potsdam Performing Arts Center will connect communities through art. With a proscenium theater, black box theater and dance performance hall, plus labs, studios, shops and archives, this facility is unlike any other in the region.

NEWS: Wade Redden Is On Waivers
12:32PM: In the Detroit Free Press, via KK, Helene St. James writes that the Red Wings have discussed the idea of bringing in Wade Redden.
Tom Renney is part of the Red Wings staff and he coached Redden with the Rangers in 2008-09 before being fired.
12:09PM: Pierre LeBrun notes that Scott Gomez is on waivers as well.
12:03PM: The Rangers have placed Wade Redden on waivers with the intention of using a compliance buyout on him.
The NHL is allowing teams to use one of their compliance buyouts before Saturday.
The Rangers will still be on the hook for Redden's cap hit this season.

Yeah, stickin it to da man! Maybe there is still a little fight lift in them
This is from the ale ( http://ale.org ) list...
Way to go Napster!!DRM is a funny thing. I emailed Napster after seeing the Super Bowl
commercial. The question was how to use their service with a generic
memory stick player and Linux. I get an email explaining how the files
I download from them are in WMA format with Windows DRM. Then they go
on explaining how I can circumvent that protection by burning and audio
CD and ripping then converting back to MP3. A PITA to do. At the end
of the email they even suggest using a CD-RW in case I plan on doing
this a lot and their software can erase the CD-RW before buring. I bet
iTunes would have never told me these things. I already knew this
process but I just thought it funny they would tell me about it.

Actually, Microsoft also slipped up when they were explaining to users how to get their DRM WMA's on their IPod. Apparently, the microsoft website said to burn the song to a cd, and then re-rip with MP3, thus, telling everyone how to eliminate their own copy protection.

Read: Wanting To Play The First Game In An Empty Arena Or In Silence
Dave Stubbs said "When fans return to eventual 1st game, and they will, I suggest they sit in total silence. Pin-drop silence. Deafening silence"
Adam Rotter: I've heard from a few different readers about an idea like this. I just think that most people are going to move on from the lockout as soon as it ends since all most people want is for them to come back to the ice. Especially with a team like the Rangers with the expectations being set out for them and wanting to see Rick Nash's first game at the Garden.

She was two-years-old when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima at the end of World War II, and dizzy spells began when she was 12. She faced the disease with an irrepressible spirit and focused her energy (and that of everyone who knew her) on folding 1000 paper cranes, which Japanese legend held would prompt the gods to make her well again.
Eleanor Coerr crafted this story of Sadako's 12th year after reading the book of her letters her classmates compiled after her death.

This was a quick listen, but well worth the inexpensive price. The story is very moving. As you begin to listen, you quickly start to like Sadako and want to see her succeed and accomplish all the things she has set before her. It's heart breaking to follow her through her trials. I found this story to be a wonderful addition to the textbook study of this time period and the atom bomb. It is a story you will never forget as you are allowed into the private world of the individuals who suffered long after the atom bomb was dropped. The narrator does a fantastic job of reading this inspiring story.
