Addressing the requests of the pros, the EOS-1D X captures HD video with an unprecedented level of sophistication for a digital SLR. It offers both All-I and IPB compression, supports H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile, and automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT specifications) for extended recording up to 29:59 minutes without interruption. It offers the option of timecoding only during recording (Rec Run) or at all times (Free Run) - useful for multi-camera shoots. The EOS-1D X offers easy operation with the new Live View shooting/Movie shooting button. Menu options can still be set even when the Live View image is displayed. A dedicated menu tab for video capture allows functions to be changed quickly on the fly. Improved sound recording adjustment capabilities offer 64-step volume control; and a sound recording level meter that is accessible through the Quick Control screen during video shooting. With the Silent Control function, adjustments can be made quietly with a touch pad located on the inner portion of the Quick Control Dial. The built-in wind filter helps suppress unwanted wind noise that can distort or muffle sound. The CMOS sensor's new drive system significantly increases image processor performance, reducing color artifacts and moiré.
|Compresses each frame. Although the file size is larger than IPB, each frame is not affected by the previous and next frames, making it suitable for editing and extracting frames.
|Compresses the movie frame by referencing the previous and next frames. High compression is used, making it suitable for recording long movies.

The iPad 2 is effectively right on the horizon, but that does not mean that Apple fans are not constantly digging for more information. Now that the iPad 2 launch date is confirmed and all of the features have been announced, fans are looking ahead to the iPhone 5 for new rumors and ideas.
According to a number of anonymous Chinese sources, Apple is looking to move away from the design of their unlocked iPhone 4 and make a change for their next smart phone generation. The phone, which will supposedly be called the iPhone 5, could potentially have an aluminum case with an antenna that features the Apple logo. This would be done because Apple received a lot of heat for the design of the iPhone 4 when it was first released. The way that the hand gripped the phone made it impossible for users to receive great reception while using the device. Apple quickly remedied these problems by providing users with a case that allowed the reception to get to the device.
The aluminum design would eliminate any of these problems, and would signal a major shift in the direction that Apple is heading with the iPhone 4 unlocked. Of course, none of this information has even been addressed by high ranking members at Apple, so do not take these rumors as fact that this time. You can expect to hear more information about the device sometime in June, just before the company is scheduled to release the device. Apple has made it a habit to not release more information than they have to when it comes to upcoming devices, and releasing the information very close to the actual release of the device to build anticipation and either confirm or deny the rumors that are out there prior to the release of the information.

(Nov 28, 2012) On November 1, 2012, the Pyithu Hluttaw, Burma's Parliament, passed amendments to the Foreign Investment Law that it adopted just two months ago. President U Thein Sein, who had recommended that the Law be revised, signed the revisions into law on November 2, and the amended legislation was published the following day. The Parliament adopted 10 of the President's 11 suggested changes. Concerns had been raised that the Law as adopted in September was too protectionist. (Win Ko Ko Latt & Stuart Deed, President Amends Foreign Investment Law After Vote, "Investor-Friendly," THE MYANMAR TIMES (Nov. 5, 2012); Wendy Zeldin, Burma: New Foreign Direct Investment Law Adopted, GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR (Sept. 12, 2012).)
New Foreign Investment Rules (FI Rules) are expected to be adopted that will clarify and add details to certain provisions of the Law. (Rachel Saw, Myanmar - Foreign Investment Law Passed, NEWS IBFD (Nov. 21, 2012).) The new Law supersedes the old Law of 1988. (Aung Hla Tun, Myanmar State Media Details New Foreign Investment Law, REUTERS (Nov. 3, 2012); Foreign Investment Law of Myanmar, No. 10/88 (Nov. 30, 1988), Provincial Commerce Operation Center, Thailand Ministry of Commerce website.)
Highlights of the new Law are:
- removal of a 50% maximum and 35% minimum level of foreign investment in 13 restricted sectors, allowing the investment ratio to be negotiable between the investor and the local partner. A new capital requirement minimum will be specified in the FI Rules; until then, the current minimum of US$500,000 for industrial projects and US$300,000 for services-related projects will still apply;
- a ban on 100% foreign ownership of ventures in certain sectors, with the permitted foreign ownership percentage likely to be published in the FI Rules. The restricted sectors include public health; natural resources and the environment; manufacturing and services operations that Myanmar citizens are capable of handling (to be specified in the FI Rules); and agriculture, livestock raising, and fisheries (details to be specified in the FI Rules);
- new labor requirements for increased use of local staff in skilled positions, including: in the first two years of the venture, Myanmar nationals must constitute at least 25% of the workforce; in the second two years, at least 50%; and in the third two years, at least 75%. Only Myanmar citizens may fill unskilled positions;
- land-use rights of up to 50 years, extendable thereafter for two additional ten-year terms (vs. the previous initial term of 30 years and two 15-year extensions);
- extension of the period of exemption from corporate income tax to five years from the previous three, retention of the previous Law's discretionary tax benefits, and addition of some customs duty and commercial tax exemptions for exports;
- the additional requirement to obtain certain state and regional approvals for foreign projects that must be approved by the national Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC), which administers foreign investment in the country;
- the inclusion of new activities, such as import substitution, for which an investment permit must be obtained from the MIC;
- stipulation of investors' rights and duties, based on similar provisions in the Myanmar Citizens Investment Law;
- a guarantee that, after the investment period has expired, the investor can remit its investment gains overseas in the same foreign currency that it brought in at the outset; and
- a guarantee against nationalization, as in the old law, to the effect that without "sufficient cause," approved investment activities will not be terminated during the contract period or its extension (a clause in a previous version of the new Law, stating that compensation would be offered if a company were nationalized in the public interest, was dropped).

Evaluation of the New Orleans Intervention for Infant Mental Health (BEST?)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Early intervention for maltreated infants can improve mental and physical health throughout life and benefit families and society as a whole. The New Orleans Model provides intensive assessment and treatment for families of maltreated preschool children in foster care, with recommendations to court about adoption, or permanent return to birth families. The New Orleans Model appears to have led to better informed decisions about permanent placement and to better child mental health in Louisiana. The investigators propose an exploratory randomised controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of the New Orleans Model in the Scottish context, informing the development of an economic model to explore the potential cost-effectiveness. Families with a maltreated child under 5 years of age will be offered the New Orleans Model or "case management" i.e. quality assured services as usual, using random allocation. The investigators will measure outcome using well validated measures of parent-child interaction, cognition and attachment.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Glasgow Infant and Family Team (GIFT)
A service developed by Charles Zeanah and colleagues in New Orleans, that aims to improve the mental health of maltreated infants.
Behavioral: GIFT
An attachment-based assessment, then a tailored intervention aimed at maximising the chances of a maltreated child returning to the birth family.
Other Name: New Orleans Intervention
Active Comparator: Family Assessment & Contact Service
A social-work based service that aims to assess maltreated children and make recommendations about their future care.
Behavioral: FACS
A social work assessment of family functioning that makes recommendations regarding future placement of a maltreated child.
Other Name: Case Management (Lieberman, 2005).
Detailed Description:
The first 5 months of this trial - from December 2011 to April 2012 - is an internal pilot or "implementation period". During this time we have fewer research staff, both services will just have started and we will only be collecting selected outcome measures. These will be the Principle Outcome Measure, the Infant-Toddler Social-Emotional Assessment (ITSEA), plus the Disturbance of Attachment Interview (DAI) and Parent-Infant Global Assessment of Functioning (PIR-GAS). We hope to include data from implementation period in our trial analysis, but if results are very different due to services "bedding in", we may not do so

East Carbon police apprehended a suspect wanted in connection with a double stabbing incident on Dec. 11. Law enforcement officials subsequently arrested Frankie Leon Paige, 38 of Helper, on two counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault, one count of burglary and one count of domestic violence in the presence of a child on Thursday.
According to East Carbon Police Chief Sammy Leonard, Paige reportedly entered the home of David and Kathy Rea in Sunnyside and assaulted the couple with a piece of glass. The incident allegedly occurred while the subject was attempting to assault two other occupants inside the residence.
Page was apprehended behind his parents' home in the Columbia subdivision of East Carbon, indicated Leonard. A detailed account of the incident will be reported in the Dec. 16 edition of the Sun Advocate.

Hazardous Waste Identification
An initial step of an Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) is to decide which components of an ecosystem (the sum of all the living organisms and the physical factors in a particular area) should be protected: in other words, what species should be the focus of the ERA. This initial step is part of Problem Formulation, which includes the development of a conceptual model: a representation of how the particular contaminants at a site are expected to behave in the environment.
The conceptual model is based on fate (e.g., does a contaminant break down in the environment or is it persistent?) and transport (how does a contaminant move through the environment and where does it end out?). The purpose of the problem formulation and the conceptual model is used to narrow attention to the animals and/or plants likely to be exposed to the contaminants at the site. In risk assessment language, the species that may be exposed to contaminants are called "receptors".
For this step, the risk assessor gathers information about the site that can help determine the potential risk to plants and animals found at the site being studied. Information can come from a variety of sources, including a site visit, historical information, and data from previous sampling of the area. The following issues should be addressed:
- Environmental setting;
- Contaminants known or suspected to be at the site;
- Contaminant movement physically within the site and through the local food chain;
- What plants and animals may be harmed by contaminants at the site;
- How the plants or animals come in contact with the contaminants;
- What are the effects on the plants and animals that are exposed.

CANTON A Buffalo man was put in jail Monday when he refused to admit his involvement with an Ogdensburg-based drug ring and tested positive for drugs during his sentencing in St. Lawrence County Court.
Eldridge Gossom, 26, 453 Newburgh Ave., Buffalo, was one of four men arrested on Dec. 6 following a raid by Ogdensburg police on an apartment at 325 Belmont Courts.
The Erie County man pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony, on July 12; however, when he stood before St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards Monday he maintained that he wasnt at the Belmont Courts address when police executed their warrant and added that he was unaware of any drugs being at the location.
The arrests by city police were the culmination of an ongoing investigation into crack cocaine trafficking in the city.
Prior to sentencing on Monday, Judge Richards ordered that Gossom be tested for drugs by probation officials. He subsequently tested positive for THC, tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical ingredient in marijuana.
Gossom had been released from St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility on $20,0000 bond after his initial arrest, which Judge Richards told him was going to change, along with his admission of guilt.
Im relieved of my commitment to you, Judge Richards told Gossom. My intention is to vacate your plea, vacate your bond and tell the bondsman that he is relieved of any obligations he has to you.
Judge Richards remanded Gossom to the county jail without bail and is scheduling the case for trial at a future date yet to be determined.
In other court action Monday:
Edwin B. Spears, 39, 7 Chapel Court, Neptune, N.J., pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted burglary, a class D felony.
In December 2011 Mr. Spears was one of four men who were arrested by state police for allegedly invading the home of Sandra Dupuis, 528 Pontoon Bridge Road, Massena, took an iPhone and an iPad and left the house to enter a detached garage where they removed a set of keys from the ignition of a vehicle.
Spears is scheduled to be sentenced at 9:15 a.m. on Nov. 12.
Dillon T. Brown, 24, of 410 New York Ave., Ogdensburg, was sentenced to probation for his theft of $3,379.34 from an Ogdensburg Sunoco, where he once worked.
As a result of successfully completing a six months of interim probation after his guilty plea, Brown was granted credit for that time when he was sentenced to 3 years of probation.
Additionally, his plea to the felony count was vacated, and he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree falsifying business records, a class A misdemeanor.
Mr. Brown has a remaining restitution of $1,689.67 and was ordered to pay a $50 DNA testing fee.
Patrick W. Compo, 25, of 3 Williams Dr., Ogdensburg, was sentenced to five years of probation for his involvement in a pair of tire thefts in summer and fall 2010 that totaled $3,614.30.
Compo pleaded guilty to criminal possession of stolen property in February 2012 and was sentenced to interim probation. On Monday, Compo was given credit for successfully abiding by the terms and conditions of that sentence and has four years left to serve on his probation.
Judge Richards ordered a restitution of $3,614.30 and court fines, fees and surcharges totaling $410.18.
Thomas L. Aldrich, 22, of 56 W. Wall St., Gouverneur, pleaded guilty to two counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a class E felony and one count of fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a class A misdemeanor.
Aldrich was found to be in possession of a laptop, radar detector, several GPS units and other items stolen from vehicles in the village of Gouverneur.
Additionally, he pleaded guilty to violating the terms and conditions of his Aug. 2, 2010 probation sentence for one count of fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property among other breaches of that probation sentence.
Sentencing has been scheduled for Nov. 12 at 9:15 a.m.
Cody C. Finton, 31, of 385 Scotch Settlement Road, Gouverneur, pleaded not guilty to aggravated DWI and two counts of DWI.
It is alleged that Finton was driving on Scotch Settlement Road in the town of Gouverneur with a blood alcohol content of 0.20 percent. That is more than twice the state intoxication threshold of 0.08 percent and above the 0.18 percent BAC required for an aggravated DWI charge.
Finton had been previously convicted of aggravated DWI as a misdemeanor in the town of Gouverneur on May 17, 2007.
Judge Richards released him under probation supervision.
Debra L. Ormsbee, 49, of 84 Pollock Road, Canton, pleaded not guilty to aggravated DWI and DWI. Court documents allege that on May 18 on Pollack Road in the town of Canton, Ormsbee was driving with a BAC of 0.15 percent.
She was charged with aggravated DWI under Leandras Law because she allegedly had two youths, ages 15 and 14, as passengers in the vehicle at the time.
Judge Richards released her under probation supervision.
Edwin B. Spears, 39, 7 Chapel Court, Neptune, N.J., pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted burglary, a class D felony.
In December 2011 Mr. Spears was one of four men who were arrested by state police for allegedly invading the home of Sandra Dupuis, 528 Pontoon Bridge Road, Massena, took an iPhone and an iPad and left the house to enter a detached garage where they removed a set of keys from the ignition of a vehicle.

In V for Vendetta (by Alan Moore), the main character is a masked anarchist who seeks to topple the fascist government ruling the Great Britain of the near future. The mask he wears is purported to be the face of Guy Fawkes.

Had an interesting experience last weekend. Me, my Wife and two kids were spending the day in the Needles district of Canyonlands. Our plan was to drive the Elephant Hill Jeep trail and take the short walk to Chesler Park via the Joint trail.About an hour into the Jeep trail and halfway to the Joint trail, we ran into a group of park service Jeeps and park rangers. While waiting for one of their Jeeps to be moved so we could get by, I chatted with the ranger who appeared to be in charge and learned that they were just wrapping up and calling off a search for a missing backpacker. Apparently, they had gotten some new information indicating the missing man was no longer in the area.So, on our way to the Joint trail we went. Once arrived, we started the walk to Chesler park. My Wife and 17 year old Son in the lead, me and my 9 year old Daughter lagging a bit behind.Only a short distance up the trail, I saw my Wife standing up ahead, looking back at me, looking as if she had just seen a ghost and obviously wanting me to get up there pronto! As I approached, I saw the source of her concern - the body of a dead man wearing a backpack sprawled out across the trail in front of her.Just as I got to her side, the dead man turned his head to look at us. Whew! That was a relief! His unatural looking position and stillness had us all fooled for a minute there, we really did think he was dead.As it turns out, he was very much alive and very happy to see us! And we were happy to see him too. It was the missing backpacker the rangers had been searching for. A very nice young man. To make a short story shorter, he had been out for a full week, bushwhacking off trail nearly the whole time, but had taken ill some days earlier. Nasty stomach bug of some sort, unable to hold down anything. He had run out of water, failed to find anymore until just the night previous, but still continuing to vomit so not able to keep even the water down. He was quite dehydrated. And despite still having plenty of food in his pack, had chosen not to eat for about 48 hours when we found him. He had also left behind much of his gear, including his tent a few days earlier to "lighten his load". He was sick and exhausted to the point that he simply couldn't walk anymore. Indeed, he wasn't even able to sit up with his pack on when we found him. I believe he would have lain right there in the open that night, wearing only a light t-shirt, with snow on the way that night... Anyway... We got him back to the Jeep and started him slowly on some water, then drove him the two hours back to the Elephant Hill trail head. There we found the same large group of park rangers preparing to resume the search - apparently they had found out their earlier information about him leaving the area wasn't correct. They went right to work on him, his vitals were worse than I would have guessed, dangerously low BP etc.All is well that ends well though and he was/is just fine. I don't know whether we saved his life or simply spared him further suffering. Both he and the rangers seemed to think we saved his life, but having survived a couple of uncomfortable situations in the past myself, I'm not so sure he wouldn't have survived another day and been found by the rangers or someone else.Regardless, my kids thought the whole deal was just about the coolest thing ever, my Wife too, for that matter - she decided almost immediately after finding him that we should adopt him, LOL! Me, I just like happy endings .- Dave
Awesome. I spent last week in Moab, and I don't think I'd want to get lost in Needles. Or sick. A lot of us hike solo, and I'm not sure we ever really think about a debillitating stomach virus like that.
Good Karma is coming your way!
"my kids thought the whole deal was just about the coolest thing ever, my Wife too, for that matter"Nice!
Wow, what a story! Congrats on your rescuing him. I really do think you saved his life.
Edited by Cephalotus on 03/22/2012 09:50:17 MDT.
Very cool David. Whether or not he had another day in him, he was exceptionally fortunate you found him. Good on ya!
OUTSTANDING!It is known as hikers helping hikers. It is what this community is all about.We all applaud your family's willing assistance to this young man.Your wife and kids are right,"Regardless, my kids thought the whole deal was just about the coolest thing ever, my Wife too, for that matter - she decided almost immediately after finding him that we should adopt him..." So when is the adoption going to be finalized? ;-)Party On,Newton
He may or may not have had another day in him, but when your kidneys don't have enough water to function, bad things can start to happen. And, if it was your kid - passed out on a trail in a t-shirt with snow on the way, would want him to spend the night like that? Even if he was healthy, much less dehydrated, underfed, underclothed, delirious, and sick?Good on you - what a great family adventure / story / lesson.I doubt you'll have any trouble pushing a "Be Prepared" or "Plan Ahead" message on your kids now!
Well Done, David, et al!
Thank you for sharing! This was a great read to start off the day!
Is it possible to speculate a little about what happened to the poor fellow? I'm trying to figure out the lesson learned of this episode. Does it seem apparent that he contracted giardia? It might make me revisit my slightly cavalier approach to water treatment knowing that I could end up dying from an episode. Is there an antibiotic medication to carry to remedy this?
I was thinking the exact same thing. What made him ill, was it water he had on the way. Usually if you're on your own and started out not feeling ill and bring water, water-filter / boil your water, its pretty hard to get ill.Also, what was his backout plan, his shortest path he knew at all time if he had an issue, or encountered someone with an issue? I'm usually more thinking about falling/accident causes then internal problems.I once drunk from a mountain stream thinking clean and later saw a dead sheep up river, and was ill for 3 days. That lesson learned just once.I once fell and lost a lot of blood and was delirious by time I got to civilisation, only need to do that once to always have your backout plan. One reason to do a loop around based when on one's own, a lot of distance away from it all but always a much shorter path back when you need to. Skill, I got the scar all down my left leg as a reminder to not be so dumb.
Good on you and your family, David, for being there when the guy needed it.Re: bad water. It's always been my understanding that giardia has a longer incubation period than would account for this hiker's symptoms. Not sure about disease from a dead animal. Maybe the problem here was more basic, eg, poor personal sanitation?Regardless, a lesson I'll keep in mind. I think about injury (esp. falling), exposure, and getting lost as the big risks to manage hiking solo. I've quit treating water if I'm sure of the source. But I'd think twice now about heading out on my own if I had any clue stomach flu was coming on.
This is a god reason to carry a wide spectrum antibiotic and some good electrlyte powder like Cyto Max, which helps you absorb fluids B/C it's isotonicaly balanced.D'ya think the guy will buy a SPOT beacon before his next solo backpack???
the most important lesson IMO is that the person had no way of contacting help when immobilizedwhile you can take preventative measures, you cant prevent everything .. you can get hurt from "bad water" (i guess), falling off a trail, a hungry bear, or any myriad of other ways ... you cant predict all possibilitieswhat you can predict is, should you get into trouble, you may need to be located and extractednow i know that its "unethical" for some people, or ruins someones peace and quiet, and subject to abuse ... but some kind of communication device will save everyone time and money as long as you arent trigger happy ... less risk to rescuers as they dont have to search for yr azz, lower costs for SAR budgets, better chance of em findng you, etc ...despite the obvious potential for abuse, most SAR folks will tell you to take a method to communicate out with you ... they prefer not to waste time looking for you
My hat's off to you and your family David. And, what an awesoem ecperience for you and your kids. As Joe mentioned above, "A lot of us hike solo, and I'm not sure we ever really think about a debillitating stomach virus like that."I'm one of those who hikes solo almost always. I never consider a stomach virus, but even though I'm athletic my lower back goes out on me about 2 times a year. One of my biggest fears is that it happens on the trail. I carry Vicodin and muscle relaxers in my first aid kit just in case, but those meds make me kind o' loopy and getting out would still be painful. If that were to happen I hope that I would be fortunate enough to run into good people like you and your family. Congrats to you guys for being in the right place at the right time!

Sounds like a new string of stories developing . . . here's mine:Was first permit into the Desolation Wilderness (east of Lake Tahoe,CA) one spring morning from Loon Lake. Unbroken spots of snow on trail, here-n-there deer tracks. Ahhhhh! First human of the year! Yeah!Hiked all day, then set camp. In morning, made up a nice breakfast . . . out of bushes 'pops a human!' . . . he was in tattered motorcycle gear, including boots. He was tired, hungry, lost, sore, etc.His story?: Him & friend off for day of off-road motorcycling near the wilderness border; no survival gear, no map, no extra food, etc. He dumped his bike trying to cross Rubicon River, they could not retrieve due to water depth, so friend took off to get his truck. As they each had their on trucks, his "friend" abandoned him, and DID NOT REPORT!The biker decides to hike out to try to find parking lot. Dark falls, but he keeps hiking, through streams, snow drifts, brush, etc. Finally, just before dawn (a little light) he somehow, by pure luck, stumbles out of brush and onto the trail/my camp!"Surprised! to see me" . . . me surprised to see him! He tells me his story. I asked how he found his way? Says' "I followed the North Star" . . and points. "Ah!" I say . . . "That's Venus, you would have just keep heading West into the Wilderness! If not stumble on the road from Ice House to Loon Lake.He was shivering, dehydrated, and his feet sore. Had him take off motorcycle boots—feet were TORN UP from hiking in them.I dressed his feet, had him change into my spare clothing, wrapped my sleep bag around him, feed him (a lot), and hot tea. After he recovered, I packed up my camp, and we . . . ever so slowly . . . hiked out to his car that was in same lot as mine.He changed into his own clothes, and I gave him more food/drink. I decided trip was over, so started packing.I told him to drive to the Ranger Station, report his cycle in the Rubicon River, and notify his family.When I stopped at the Ranger Station . . . yeah . . . he did not stop to report! So I did, gave them the vehicle description & license plate.Shorter trip, but the memory was well worth it!Just get to know the difference between planets & stars!
This would not have been giardia. That has a 10 day incubation period, and is unlikely to cause those symptoms.It is very likely that he had simple gastro. The timing is right, the symptoms are right. I suggest (but obviously cannot prove) that he had not washed his hands after going to the toilet, and had infected himself. Young male ...> This is a good reason to carry a wide spectrum antibioticNO! An antibiotic is totally pointless here. All he needed to do was rest and flush the bug out of his system. Needless treatment with antibiotics can be seriously harmful to the person concerned and to the community.Cheers

Pressed rawhide dog bones are heavier and tougher than regular rawhide treats. Made from real cowhide, these dense chews are formed by "welding" numerous layers of rawhide with colossal pressure. The result is an ultra-dense, solid core that outlasts any other style of rawhide bone. They will provide hours of chewing pleasure for your dog! There are no harmful chemicals or bleaching, which we believe can remove essential nutrients and decrease flavor.
Variety 3-packs include one each of Chicken, Lamb/Rice, and Natural.
Variety 4-pack includes one each of Chicken, Lamb/Rice, Natural, and Peanut Butter.
Variety 5-pack includes one each of Chicken, Hickory, Lamb/Rice, Natural, and Peanut Butter.
Variety 10-pack includes 3 Natural,3 Hickory, 2 Peanut Butter, and 2 Lamb/Rice.
Or, try economically priced, Natural flavor only, 4-Pack - for a delicious treat at a great price.
Click here for more variety and multi-packs in sticks
These are manufactured to be "non-staining." However, when you offer darker colored flavors, you may want to have your dog chew the rawhide on a rug or enjoy his rawhide outside. There is always a slight possibility that the color may run when the rawhide gets saturated with saliva.
As a guideline, our veterinarians recommend that your pet's treats do not make up more than 10% of their food intake.

Most healthy people don't have any problems with general anesthesia. Although many people may have mild, temporary symptoms, general anesthesia itself is exceptionally safe, even for the sickest patients. The risk of long-term complications, much less death, is very small. In general, the risk of complications is more closely related to the type of procedure you're undergoing, and your general physical health, than to the anesthesia itself.
Some of the factors that can increase your risk of complications include:
Rare complications, which may occur more frequently in older adults or in people with serious medical problems, include:
Estimates vary, but about 1 or 2 people in every 1,000 may wake up briefly while receiving general anesthesia. The person usually doesn't feel pain, but is aware of his or her surroundings.
In very rare situations, some people experience excruciating pain in spite of general anesthesia. In this situation, because of muscle relaxants given prior to surgery, people aren't able to move or speak or make others aware of their distress. Some people may develop long-term psychological problems, similar to post-traumatic stress disorder.
The following factors appear to make this phenomenon — also called unintended intraoperative awareness — more likely:

The Special Olympics are being held at Avery County High School today.Yesterday, the torch that lit the 2006 Highland Regional games in Yancey County began its journey to Newland.

This morning, the flame was carried to Avery County High School where it lit the Special Olympics Cauldron during opening ceremonies. Special Olympic athletes from Avery, Mitchell, Yancey, Watauga, Madison, and McDowell counties participated in track and field events, volleyball, bocce, and play activities.

HTC has just confirmed that a hardware problem is causing Wi-Fi connectivity issues with their HTC One X smartphone. To verify if your One X smartphone is defective... simply run the Wi-Fi squeeze test if the signal strength improves - it confirms that the device is defective.
The company is obviously faced with a tough hardware problem. A software update isn't the answer. This isn't the first time HTC has had Wi-Fi signal problems. Awhile back its HTC Sensation suffered from antenna design problems.
HTC has stepped up early and accepted blame. In a public statement a company rep said: "After investigating isolated reports of Wi-Fi connectivity issues in the HTC One X, we have identified a fix that strengthens the area of the phone around the Wi-Fi antennae connection points. While many customers have not experienced any problems with signal strength, we have taken immediate steps to implement a solution in our production process to prevent this issue from happening in the future. HTC is committed to making sure every customer has a great experience and we apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused while we conducted a thorough investigation."
This statement describes the production changes going forward, but there still doesn't appear to be a plan for dealing with the defective phones already in consumer hands. Everyone is covered by the warranty replacement protection, so if you think your phone has the problem, take it back to the point of purchase right away. Don't let the warranty period expire.
We hope HTC takes their corrective action one step further and provides protection for this defect to One X owners on an unlimited basis. What's to say the problem couldn't pop up in these phones at a later date?

Very sturdy construction. I also like the fact that they're longer than most ramps I've found. (88 inches). I would recommend buying some grip tape for the ends though, they slip off the tailgate pretty easily.

Nothing breaks a bike messenger's heart more than to see his seats fowled in this manner. These London pigeons are really no better than rats:
Sorry if it's gross. Just imagine it is paint. Sort of a Jackson Pollock thing, whose work I've never quite appreciated until I read of his indirect contribution to the Cold Painting War:
Some posthumous exhibitions of Pollock's work were sponsored by the Congress for Cultural Freedom, an organization to promote American culture and values backed by the CIA.
Certain left-wing scholars, most prominently Eva Cockcroft, argue that the U.S. government and wealthy elite embraced Pollock and abstract expressionism in order to place the United States firmly in the forefront of global art and devalue socialist realism. In the words of Cockcroft, Pollock became a "weapon of the Cold War."
Have I ever told you I'm a big Pollock fan?

Patients of Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center are already benefitting from a partnership that makes their medical records easier for health care professionals to share.
The hospital recently partnered with HealtheConnections of Syracuse, the Regional Health Information Organization of central New York.
Basically, it is a community based organization that is bringing together patient records from health care providers to increase the efficiency and quality of health care we can provide to our patients, said Amy J. Robinson, Claxton-Hepburn physician liaison. We are the first hospital in the county to undertake this.
The organization compiles and stores patient medical records from hospitals and other health care providers in eleven counties of central and northern New York to increase the efficiency and overall quality of health care in the region. Patients labs, histories, demographic information and diagnostic tests can be accessed by regional health care providers.
RHIOs have been around for quiet some time, said James A, Flood, director of information services. We set up a system where were electronically passing demographic information, lab reports, records to this central repository. Many other facilities through Jefferson, Lewis, Onondaga are all doing the same thing. We have created a patient-centric database.
Mr. Flood said the network will help doctors focus more on patient care and spend less time tracking down patient records.
I think the biggest benefit is efficiency of care, he said. For patients here in the emergency department we have the ability to look into the RHIO and see things like drug allergies or recent lab work. It is going to improve care through the access to information.
There is a potential time and cost savings for hospitals, too, as fewer man-hours will be spent reproducing volumes of charts when patients are transferred between facilities.
The system could help cut down on patient identification and labeling errors by eliminating some of the reliance on paper charts even better, it didnt cost Claxton-Hepburn a dime.
The RHIO is funded by the insurance companies, it did not cost us anything, Mr. Flood said.
The hospital considered partnering with another organization that serves eastern New York, but found that most of its referrals are to hospitals in the Syracuse area.
When they have the need for cardiac services, they are referred to Syracuse area hospitals, Mr. Flood said. As we evaluated our decision, the most significant benefit is to set up electronic sharing with those facilities because that is our referral pattern.
Claxton-Hepburn patients will have the option of participating in the information-sharing network, said Ms. RoRobin Robinson.
There are different levels of consent, she said.If a patient signs a declination form, we cannot access their information even in case of emergencies. If they do not sign consent, their status remains as unknown but in an emergency situation, a physician could access it for that one time so that they could better treat the patient based on their condition.
The information is stored on servers in the Syracuse area, explained Mr. Flood. All data is transferred through secure connections between hospitals and the servers, which means it is kept safe and private.
It isnt running over the public internet, private connections are very important, he said.

Today we are officially in the middle of our annual Gift Guide series, so in honor of the halfway mark (and the impending weekend), we've decided to address the trickiest sort of giftee: the Individualist. Whether you are an Individualist or are merely shopping for one, you certainly know that these unique ladies demand only the most thoughtfully considered presents. Her gift criteria is as follows: nothing fussy or overly girly, must be slightly off-beat but totally of-the-moment, and bonus points if the item has an interesting backstory. In other words, you must ask yourself: What Would Alexa Chung Like? If that's a question you simply can't answer, fret not, because we've done some serious sleuthing and rounded up a top-notch selection of Individualist-inspired options for your purchasing pleasure. And, as if that wasn't enough, we've also included an amazing tip for easy holiday shopping, courtesy of the lovely team at Rightcliq by Visa.* (More on that in a moment!) Yes, dear readers, you'll find all of these delights in our third installment of the GG, so please feel free to indulge and enjoy!
Oliver Peoples Sheldrake Sunglasses ($350) in Crystal with Viola Photochromic
Sunglasses are decidedly utilitarian, yet they're also capable of conveying so much about one's personal style, which is exactly why they're such an essential for any Individualist. While wayfarer styles will work for some girls and other may adore an oversized cat-eye style, today's type of giftee wants something that truly feels one-of-a-kind, hence our selection of these clear frames from Oliver Peoples. This style was inspired by an iconic Individualist-Andy Warhol-just one more reason why they'd make a perfect present!
Madewell Herringbone Vestcoat ($198)
We adore Madewell for its delightfully curated collection of better-than-basics and thoughtfully designed essentials, so naturally we had to include a piece in today's Gift Guide! (Plus, their amazing Alexa Chung-helmed collection was just so darn fabulous.) While there are literally hundreds of potential picks for the Individualist, we think she'd flip for this oversized short-sleeve outerwear option. The hybrid vest-coat style makes for a super cute layering option, while its generous cut will allow the Individualist to play with proportions-one of her favorite things!
Nixon Time Teller Watch ($60) in Matte Black
A blinged-out watch is definitely not the appropriate choice for today's gift recipient-perish the thought! Instead of going for something oversized, bejeweled, or delicately girly, we suggest picking up this minimalist and sporty watch from Nixon. She's sure to adore its unique look-it's made from matte black poly-carbonate-which will work with everything from her most casual ensembles to fancier looks.
Nubar 2010 Nail Polish ($7.50)
The Individualist is a little bit of a tomboy, but she's also got a very creative, artsy side too. That combination is exactly why this extraordinary polish is perfect for this type of girl. When layered over a colored polish, this topcoat gives your manicure a reflective, almost tie-dyed effect that's weirdly cool and sure to appeal to the Individualist. The result is marbled and amazing and decidedly one-of-a-kind-perfect for this girl (or anyone!).
Urban Outfitters/Republic Custom Bike ($399)
How about a truly unusual accessory for your Individualist, like a custom bike, built just for her? Everyone knows that biking is a big deal-and it has been a big deal for ages-but so much of the gear that goes along with it is nerdy. This bike is definitely not: you can pick from a number of different retro-inspired styles (including the Plato Dutch, shown here), and then tweak the colors of the frame, seat, handle bars, and more. You can even customize the tires; pick from red, pink, green or basic black.
Kimchi Blue Shorts ($48)
While the Individualist has loads of sartorial weapons in her arsenal of knockout looks, she does favor a few key pieces. Topping that list: shorts. Whether she pairs them with fabulous flats whilst bumming around town or styles them with a silky blouse and standout heels for an evening event, this type of girl typically goes for an intriguing pair of shorts over a skimpy mini or body-con dress. Currently there are plenty of investment shorts on the market, but we think she'd love these ultra-affordable wide-leg shorts by Kimchi Blue. The cummerbund-style pleats at the waist make them dressy enough for evening or she can wear them with a crisp button-down, tights, and ankle boots during the day. Either way, they're a very savvy purchase!
Daisy Knights Oxidized Sterling Silver Skull Hoop Earrings ($135)
We're quite enamored with this fledgling collection from Central Saint Martins graduate Daisy Knights. The British jewelry designer's pieces are handmade from recycled silver and ethically mined gold and are earthy, yet delicate, which is probably why they appeal to today's Gift Guide archetype. Yup, Alexa Chung's been spotted in a number of pieces, which is partially why we think the Individualist would love these oxidized sterling silver earrings with wee skulls. They're very macabre marvelous, so snap them up now!
Aldo Hessling Heels ($130)
Okay total confession: these black velvet heels are an excellent choice for the Individualist, but frankly we think they'd be well received by just about any type of girl! The combination of the luxe material and the chunky silhouette is so completely current, plus we think the Individualist would really approve of the sturdy heel and platform. A steal at twice the price, these heels are sure to delight the independent, unique, and interesting fashion fanatic in your life-be sure to buy them today!
*Last, but certainly not least, we've got a superb suggestion that will make your gift-buying experience even better: Rightcliq by Visa. If you don't know about this amazing online shopping tool, we highly suggest visiting their website to learn more about how it works and to sign up for your own free account. Rightcliq by Visa is a game-changer: it allows you to collect and save the potential purchases (it's like the online version of tearing pages out of a magazine), organize them in simple bundles (categorized as you wish, like "Presents for Mom" or "Perfect Party Shoes"), and visually compare these picks side-by-side (sorted by price, style, or friend reviews you can get via email and Facebook). While this handy-dandy tool is truly amazing in its own right, if you enroll now, you'll get all of your favorite pieces from our Gift Guide series instantly uploaded to your account. From there you can shop, save, or even share these items with your friends-it's totally up to you! Already enrolled? No worries!
