I think sometimes we are in "awe" of stupid people.
Titan, you're right. It looks like something is going through his muzzle.
The bottom line is, there is stupidity going on in the horseworld. Whether it is speed racking on pavement or doing a piaffe on cement, tied to crossties to music for almost two minutes. Who knows how long he was going before the music/video started. Amazingly, the horses just do it and put up with the stupidity.

Safe Like-Kind Exchanges
Written By: GARRY BARTECKI
Article Date:
Copyright(C) 2008 Associated Equipment Distributors. All Rights Reserved.
Occasionally, people push the envelope and create a potential problem.
Many rental companies, dealers and contractors are taking advantage of like-kind exchange (LKE) transactions to defer taxable gains on qualified sales of used equipment, and if you meet the LKE requirements, there is little reason not to use the tool if you have current taxable income to offset or are likely to have taxable income in the near future.
While LKE may sound easy, it can be very complicated. There is, however, flexibility in the process that gives taxpayers the ability to use an LKE or decide to have the taxable gain reflected in their taxable income.
With an LKE, an equipment owner can sell a business asset at a gain and defer the gain (calculated using tax depreciation) to a future date as long as they use the sales proceeds to purchase a qualified replacement unit.
The amount of the gain deferred has to reduce the tax basis in the new replacement property and as a result, the deprecation deduction going forward is now lower then it would have been had LKE not been used.
For example, if you sell a machine for $50,000 with zero tax basis (fully depreciated) and purchase a new machine for $200,000, with LKE the $50,000 gain is deferred, you have a $20,000 LKE benefit and the tax basis in the new unit is $150,000. Depreciation going forward without LKE is $40,000 the first year vs. $30,000 if you use LKE.
Another LKE requirement is that sales proceeds be restricted until they are used to purchase the new unit or pay down equipment related debt.
In addition, the funds should be held by a "qualified intermediary" until they are used to repurchase replacement property, pay down equipment related debt or removed from the account as a taxable distribution. As you can see, this can get complicated and with more equipment owners using LKE to manage their tax positions and cash flow, it's imperative that you are certain of your tax position.
Occasionally, people push the envelope and create a potential problem. We are starting to see pass-through transactions in which machines are provided to a dealer who sends them to auction and receives the sales proceeds to offset the cost of the new unit with the customer believing the transaction is an LKE. At the same time, the dealer is taking the transaction and treating the used unit as a "trade-in" thus charging a lower sales tax (where applicable).
In this example, is this pass-through transaction as described an LKE? Can the auction proceeds be treated as a trade-in for sales tax purposes? The answers are maybe and probably depending on how the transactions are structured and documented.
Reviewing this transaction, you find no third party intermediary used to hold the restricted funds. In addition, the "sold" unit was actually sold and proceeds were collected, thus potentially negating the trade-in for tax purposes.
One way this transaction can be an LKE is by doing a simultaneous transaction, transferring the original unit and taking possession of a replacement unit the same day. If you do this, LKE is available without the use of the third party intermediary.
Sales tax law differs from state to state. It would be smart to get some expert advice before trying to make this type of transaction a trade-in transaction and to help you understand who gets the tax liability should there be one.
To back up my conclusions about this type of transaction, I asked two of the leading LKE service providers if they believe the transaction as described above would provide LKE benefits other then as a simultaneous transaction. I got two different answers.
Jeff Nelson of PWC says, "The transaction described is fairly common in the industry, and customers and dealers should be able to structure these types of contingent/consignment value contracts in compliance with the rules of IRC Sec 1031 even without the services of a Qualified Intermediary. However, an LKE is extremely dependent on the proper form of the transaction. There are no short cuts and customers and dealers must be careful to respect that form when structuring their trade-ins." (Jeff Nelson of PWC can be reached at 612-889-5973 or email@example.com.)
Jim Burnett of Accruit LLC says "Pass-throughs without a Qualified Intermediary involved may fall outside of the safe harbor guidelines as established in IRC 1031. The fact that there is typically a delay between the time the original asset is transferred to a dealer, and the date replacement property is acquired raises questions. LKEs are not optional.
"Guidance suggests that 1031 exchanges are form over substance, meaning that if it looks like an exchange, the taxpayer must follow a specific process, including execution of an exchange agreement, notification of assignment in writing, inclusion of a Qualified Intermediary (to avoid constructive receipt), and completion of Form 8824 as part of the taxpayer's tax filing. Additionally, given the tremendous benefit and low cost of single exchanges, even the smallest equipment transaction can be run as a safe harbor LKE." (Accruit offers a document that discusses this issue in more detail. Call 720-963-5000 for a copy.)
As you can see LKE's are complicated, and even the experts have a hard time agreeing on certain issues.
LKE's can provide a significant benefit for rental companies, dealers and contractors if used properly. Please make an effort to understand the basic LKE qualification concepts and be wary of any transaction in which a Qualified intermediary is not part of the process. The sales tax issues should also be reviewed with your tax advisor.

- Best Bow I've Ever Held In My Hands! Review by Randy Hatch
Quality Price Value
I've bow hunted for 23 yrs, and have been a professional hunting guide for nineteen. I v'e shot about every bow made and am always very attached to my equipment, have never wanted an immediate change with any of my equipment either. Until now, I shot three arrows through the quest drive and knew that my bow was for sale as soon as archery season is over. Never have I shot a bow that felt so good!

I agree that...There's some leaps of logic here. I agree that arterial transit (on highly trafficed routes where ridership keeps buses full) is a very good idea and deserves credit for making travel cheaper, more convenient and can reduce emissions. The reality check is that there are many getting from A to B where A and/or B are not on arterial routes, or they need to get kids to school or do shopping so the car is the only viable option.

Regarding bike scofflaws. What galls the most is that there is considerable enforcement of cars, and a perception (open to debate on this) that there is zero enforcement of bikes. If motorists perceived cycling laws were being enforced this would achieve a better balance. It's tiresome having grown up in the UK and watched countless public information adverts about how to turn across traffic, how when using a pedestrian crossing *you must be on foot* to see salmoning and routine disregard.

"Holier than though" kind of sums up the author's viewpoint. Laws should only apply to car drivers and we should be making massive unquestioned investment in bike trails. Perhaps that investment should blend in public information ads (as it did in the UK in the 1970s) together with lessons at school.

But a bit of genuine enforcement of bike laws would be a good start.Richard Hallhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Iowa Cattle on Feed Report
The recently released December 1 cattle on feed report told us about what we expected – cattle numbers nationwide are down. Specifically, cattle on feed in yards with capacity of 1,000 head or more was 10.7 million head, 5 percent below the 2012 inventory and the second lowest inventory for December 1 since the series began in 1996.
But the interesting and exciting report is what happened in Iowa. Cattle and calves on feed for slaughter in Iowa for all feedlots totaled 1,335,000, up 6 percent from November 1, 2013 and up 5 percent from December 1, 2012. Feedlots with capacity greater than 1,000 head was up 3 percent from last month but unchanged from last year. But the real news came from feedlots with less than 1,000 head. They reported 725,000 head on feed, up 8 percent from last month and up 10 percent from last year, with November placements up 12 percent from last year!
What's this mean for Iowa? One is that cattle feeders are seeing the true advantage to our feed cost and availability, and another is that the expansion we saw in hoop and monoslope buildings in the last year or two are filled with cattle. But the biggest impact is that young producers are getting back to the farm via cattle production, and that means money for the local economy, kids to fill the schools and young families for our communities!

LSUE softball sweeps again
The LSU Eunice softball team continued its recent hot streak, rolling to a doubleheader sweep of visiting Bossier Parish Community College on Monday afternoon.
The opening game was scoreless through three innings before the Lady Bengals (44-4) used a three-run homer from Ashley Subervielle to propel themselves to a 5-0 win. Game two saw the hosts send 10 batters to the plate as part of a six-run first inning before coming away with an 8-0 victory.
The Lady Bengals are back in action on Thursday afternoon when they host LSU Alexandria in a doubleheader with a 1 p.m. start.
"Our pitchers have been doing it all year and they did it again. We got hits when we needed to and capitalized on their mistakes. We put pressure on them, and when you pitch and play defense you are going to win ballgames," head coach Andy Lee said.
In the fourth inning of the first game, the Lady Bengals saw two runners on base with one out when Subervielle connected on her shot down the right field line to give the hosts the advantage.
They would cap off the scoring with two runs in the fifth inning on a RBI single from Brooke Clark and a sacrifice fly by Taylor Simon.
Subervielle and Brooke Thomas each finished the game with two hits, while Clark, Kelsey Hollier, Emily Nolan, Pam Wainwright and Carey Alexis each notched one hit.
In the circle, Julienne Broussard earned the win after six shutout innings in which she allowed one hit while striking out three batters. Elizabeth Delafield closed out the game with a perfect seventh inning.
The second game saw Bossier Parish go through three pitchers in the first inning as the Lady Bengals used five walks, two errors, a single and a sacrifice fly to post six runs.
Brooke Rozas' RBI single and Morgan Tauzin's sacrifice fly notched the final two runs of the inning, before Simon doubled to lead off the second inning, advanced to third on a passed ball before scoring on a wild pitch.
The final run of the afternoon came in the third, when Tauzin doubled before being driven home on Simon's RBI double two batters later.
Simon was the only hitter to finish with two hits, while Hollier, Subervielle, Rozas, Tauzin and Chelsea Evans each finished with one hit. Simon, Subervielle, Rozas and Tauzin each tallied one RBI.
Brooklyn Guillot earned the win in game two after three innings of work, allowing just four hits before Delafield wrapped up the fame with two innings of work in which she allowed one hit and two walks while striking out two batters.
Young phenom Guan coming to Zurich
Born after Tiger Woods won his first Masters championship, the youngest player even to compete in The Masters will tee it up in his first PGA Tour event at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
Tianlang Guan won the title for highest finish by am amateur in the The Masters. He was 14 years, five months and 17 days old when Masters play began April 10. He made the cut by one stroke, despite a one stroke penalty imposted for slow play on Friday.
He qualified for The Masters by winning the fourth annual Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in Novenber, 2012, when he was then the youngest player in the field as well. He shot opening rounds of 66 and 64 to win the title in Thailand over the second ranked amateur in Asia.

Justin Long joins Drag Me to HellMeh
Justing Long according to Variety has joined the cast of Drag me to Hell. This will be Raimi's triumphant return to the genre with a script that he wrote with his brother Ivan right after making Army of Darkness.
Unfortunatly we don't know to much about the story other than it is going to be a morality tale about the unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse. Thats not much to go on but I'm guessing that Alison Lohman will play said recipient of the curse. Drag Me To Hell is slated to begin principal photography in Los Angeles on March 17. The other bit of good news is that Universal has picked up all domestic rights.

Creobroter gemmatus (Indian Flower Mantis)
C. gemmatus, also known as the Indian Flower Mantis, is an easy mantid to keep. I have had very little problem keeping them. They are a smaller species of mantid which makes them easy to keep. I like being able to use houseflies as the staple food for adult mantids. It makes feeding very easy.
One thing I like about the Indian Flower Mantis is the way they hunt. I like mantids that actively go after their food rather than sit around waiting for it to come to them. Indian Flower Mantids don't have a problem going after food that is in close enough range to chase down.
Breeding the Indian Flower Mantis is also easy. I have noticed very little cannibalism when it comes to breeding. Still, I am very careful when introducing the male, giving at least 2 weeks before introducing them and always while the female is eating.

The sound of the blues
Is the sound of the soul
At full operating depth
Where the disappointingly
Unsuccessful pieces of lost life
Are picked up
And finally, truly observed;
Sometimes tossed with disgust
Sometimes polished pearls
Cleaned brightly with
The heavy tears of regret
The gone water of
'What could've, should've been'
This old music colored blue
Will shake you
Break you, and
Oft times far, far away
Take you
Away from the now,
The do,
The want for love, into
The love for
Music... of the color
Where once again one can
Dance, and
Laugh, and
Love true...
It will take you
This masterful music
Colored so deeply blue.
-Smoky Hoss
I was blindfolded and told to draw what I felt. The music played, and this is my manipulation of my moody scribbles.
I was 15.

CFL Network
Our Teams
Affiliate Sites
Venue: B.C. Place Stadium
Location: Vancouver, BC
Date: November 25
Attendance: 46,968
Winning Coach: Mike Riley
Outstanding Offensive Player: Tom Burgess, QB, Winnipeg
Outstanding Defensive Player: Greg Battle, LB, Winnipeg
Outstanding Canadian: Warren Hudson, FB, Winnipeg
For the second time in three years, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were labelled as underdogs heading into the Grey Cup. Once again the Blue Bombers proved the prognosticators wrong.
Known for a strong defence, it was the offence that stole the show for Winnipeg in a rout over the Edmonton Eskimos. The Blue Bombers scored a record 28 points in the third quarter alone as they cruised to victory.
Greg Battle, voted the CFL's Most Outstanding Defensive Player that season, showed why he was deserving of the nod making two interceptions, including one he returned 32 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. An earlier interception in the shadow of Winnipeg's goal posts on Edmonton's initial offensive series changed the early momentum. Battle returned the ball 56 yards for the second-longest interception return in Grey Cup history. It began Winnipeg's first scoring drive resulting in a 13-yard field goal by Trevor Kennerd.
On Edmonton's next possession, running back Blake Marshall fumbled the ball which Winnipeg's David Bovell recovered at the Eskimos 45. Five plays later, Winnipeg quarterback Tom Burgess hit receiver Lee Hull with an 11-yard pass at the corner of the end zone. The Blue Bombers led 10-4 at halftime.
Then the fireworks started. First it was the Battle major, as he reached over the shoulder of intended Edmonton receiver Michael Soles and stole the ball from his hands. This was followed by Perry Tuttle's five-yard touchdown catch. Tuttle set the play up with a 60-yard reception on a nicely thrown spiral by Burgess.
Edmonton's Craig Ellis fumbled after making a catch at midfield which was recovered by Winnipeg's Ken Hailey. Four plays later, Burgess threw a screen pass to Warren Hudson who scampered 10 yards for another touchdown. On the final play of the third quarter, Hudson scored his second major on a two-yard plunge.
The Blue Bombers added to their total late in the game as Rick House made a 56-yard touchdown grab.
Edmonton's lone touchdown came from Larry Willis on a 20-yard pass from Tracy Ham in the fourth quarter.
Burgess completed 18 of 31 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns. It was his second straight championship after being a backup pivot in Saskatchewan in 1989.
In total, the Winnipeg defence forced eight Edmonton turnovers -- four fumbles, three interceptions and one on downs.

In honor of the new year 2011 it's time for a new tackle review format. No more ratings. Just the honest truth on whether or not the product is useful or not.
To start us off right I chose one of the greatest prespawn lures made. The Luhr-Jensen Speed Trap!
I've owned various Speed Traps for many years but it took me a long time to figure out what seems like a simple lure. This 1/4oz crank has a stout square bill, tough body, tough paintjob, and a snappy wiggle on the retrieve. I mainly use Speed Traps in early season prespawn conditions. This crank is an ace around wood, rocks, and even heavy submerged weeds. The square bill knocks off and pulls through anything.
You can crank one of these down to about 7ft on 8lb test but I usually throw it on 10lb or 12lb around cover. The hooks are decent but not the best so if you like to replace them go for it. It also comes with a large snap on the nose which I remove. I'll use a Rapala Loop Knot in its place as it is less snaggy in weed growth. My best color patterns have all been crawfish patterns in oranges, reds, and browns. Baitfish colors have been disappointing in comparison. To really get the most bites on this lure it has to move and it MUST hit cover. If you're not banging off something you are not getting bit.
I did a bit of background research on the lure and discovered it had a few different generations in its history. Before Luhr-Jensen was purchased by a larger company most Speed Traps were made in Mexico. These south of the border lures are said to have two dimples on their belly, a thinner diving lip, and thinner walls. These older baits are coveted by some anglers for their mystical fish catching ability. Keep a sharp eye out for these older baits at Flea Markets and auction lots online. The newer Speed Traps are now made in China and can be picked out of a lineup with their smooth bellies. The newer ST's are more readily found in tackle shops and still work for those who aren't superstitious.
One interesting thing to note in some Speed Traps are the rattles or lack thereof. I've bought some that were silent, some with one rattle, and some with many rattles. Unfortunately, you cannot tell which you will get until you open the package and shake. Every rattle configuration has caught fish so I don't really count this in as a fish catching factor for this lure.
I've seen Speed Traps on sale from $3 and change all the way up to $7+. Some dealers have more color selection than others. Again, I recommend the craw patterns for the best results. This is one of the few crankbaits I truly believe imitates a craw better than a baitfish. And as the name suggests you can burn this bait with no rollover or misbehavior.

That little
black seed
It isn't actually black; it's more of a slate-grey, but for some reason, we usually say that poppy seeds are "black." I always keep a small bag on hand for one recipe and one recipe only—I am sort of narrow-minded when it comes to poppy seeds—I only use them in citrus salad dressing, and then only when I am making a spinach salad with almonds and strawberries or mandarin oranges.
I need to get out of this rut!
The edible poppy seed comes from Papaver somniferum, the same poppy that opiates are extracted from. Other poppies such as Californian and Oriental do not produce the drug. Somniferum loosely translates to "sleep-bringing."
But let's stick to cooking.
The tiny seed has been used for cooking since civilization began. This self-seeding annual prefers temperate climates, and is thought to have originated in the Eastern Mediterranean, where Turkey is today. It became a common ingredient in the cuisine of Eastern European countries and is still found most often in foods from Austria, Hungary, Germany, Poland, and Turkey.
Poppy seeds are considered a spice. They have a nutty, slightly-sweet flavour that goes well with citrus flavours like lemon or orange. This may be why it seems that wherever you find a lemon muffin, you will likely find poppy seeds. Like most seeds and nuts, toasting them intensifies their flavour. Crushing them in a mortar releases more flavour.
They are often used in conjunction with other nuts such as pecans or walnuts, raisins, honey, and cinnamon. Crushed and cooked in milk with these other ingredients, poppy seeds make a delicious sweetmeat filling for phyllo pastry. Austrian strudels and Turkish baklava are just two familiar poppy seed desserts. There is a strong ethnic association with the seed, resulting in what we think of as "European deli" food: braided breads, bagels, and Danish pastries.
In European cuisines, the seeds are used as seasoning for vegetables like cabbage, green beans, potatoes, and carrots, as well as for noodles in cream sauces; even deviled eggs.
The seeds also add crunchy texture and colour to food. "Polka dot chicken" is one recipe I found for chicken in a poppy seed cream sauce.
Because of its high oil content, the seeds should be stored in the fridge. Once upon a time, the seeds were pressed for this oil, a high-quality unsaturated oil, probably similar in flavour to grapeseed oil. You won't find this oil easily now. The large number of poppies required to produce a small amount of oil makes it impractical, and growing fields of opium poppies is illegal in most countries.
So now, back to this narcotic issue. Anyone who is a fan of Seinfeld will recall the episode where Elaine's boss, Mr. Peterman, wants to take her to Africa, but she fails her urine test; it comes up positive for opium…twice.
"Mr. Peterman, I don't know what's going on here. I am not addicted to anything."
"Oh, Elaine. The toll road of denial is a long and dangerous one. The Price? Your soul. Oh, and by the way, you have til 5:00 to clear out your desk. You're fired."
She is baffled, until some man at the coffee counter sitting next to her tells her it is because of the poppy seeds in the muffins she eats all the time. After she swears off the muffins (it takes up to 48 hours to clear the system), she eats someone's left-over chicken dish which turns out to have poppy seeds in it. What did she think the tiny black specks were? Only on Seinfeld!
And so, in true Seinfeldian silliness, Elaine asks Jerry's mother to donate urine.
The next day, her boss informs her that while she is free of opium and can have her job back, she still can't go to Africa. It seems that she has the metabolism of a 68-year old menopausal woman, and may have osteoporosis.
Opium and its derivatives are extracted from a brown sap found in unripened seed pods. The seeds we eat are fully ripe, and do not contain any active narcotic. However, they do contain enough residual opiates to cause a false-positive urine test. Anyone taking a drug test is warned to stay away from anything containing poppy seeds.
When researching poppies, it is hard to avoid reading about the devastation caused by opium. From the time of Hippocrates, it was known for its medicinal and narcotic properties. Laudanum, a mixture of opium, sherry, and herbs, became a popular cure-all in the late 1600s, soothing everything from women's complaints to colicky babies.
As the popularity of recreational opium smoking increased, and with creation of more powerful and addictive derivatives, the drug became increasingly a money-maker. When morphine was isolated from opium in the early 1800s, abuse of the drug became insidious. It caused wars and became associated with violence and death.
By the early 1900s, heroin addiction had become so prevalent, that opium was banned in the U.S. In an effort to prevent the production of domestic opium, many governments made it illegal to grow the poppy. It became illegal to possess anything but the ripe seeds. The edible seeds we buy come from licensed fields, often from Holland.
It takes a lot of poppies to make the drugs. The intent of the law is not to prosecute gardeners who love a patch or two of the beautiful poppies. I don't believe Canada has a ban in place, but I am sure a field of opium poppies would raise some questions.
You can harvest your own seeds to eat, but most people prefer to let the beautiful plant re-seed for the next year. I am not sure if the seeds you purchase in the spice aisle can be germinated; I'll experiment with that one.
Here is one final fact about poppy seeds, one of almost Seinfeldian nothing-ness: There are approximately 900,000 poppy seeds in a pound. Get out!
I sometimes worry that someone might be monitoring my computer. There was the time I was doing research on a book about Freemasons, and got into some pretty weird sites. I was afraid to go near my computer for days. You can imagine what kinds of sites you run into when you are researching poppy seeds. I hit on one that sells clean urine samples. I don't know what for; the disclaimer says quite clearly that they are not to be used for any illegal purposes, but the site also gives guidelines for potential donors as to what they should stay away from, including poppy seeds, to prevent their urine from giving false-positive drug test results. Hmmmm!

Smith, the second all-time single season rusher, and former Oklahoma State standout Barry Sanders are the only two running backs in history to rush for more than 2,000 yards and score 30 touchdowns in a season. Sanders rushed for 2,628 yards in 11 regular season games in 1989.
Pegues became the school's all-time leader in kickoff returns (80) with a pair of returns against Ole Miss in the season-ending win over the Rebels. He is nearing the top of the school's kick return yardage (1,776) list as well, trailing only Tony James in the attempts category. Pegues' kickoff returns are tied for the fifth most in SEC history and his yardage is ninth-most ever in the league. He also ranks sixth on the school's all-time punt returns list (51) and is fourth on the all-time yardage ranking (615).
Joe Burnett occupied two positions on the C-USA first team, earning a spot at both defensive back and punt returner. Burnett led the league with six interceptions and had an 83-yard punt return for a touchdown in the C-USA title game. Michael Torres was named to the conference's All-Freshman team. Michael Buscemi was named as C-USA's top snapper after flawless punt and place-kicking snaps all season.

|Somatotropin-induced amino acid conservation in pigs involves differential regulation of liver and gut urea cycle enzyme activity.

|Somatotropin (ST) treatment promotes animal growth and allows for the conservation of amino acids by increasing nitrogen retention and reducing ureagenesis and amino acid oxidation. To determine whether the improvement in amino acid conservation with ST treatment involves regulation of urea cycle enzyme activities in both liver and intestine, growing swine were treated with either ST (150 microg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) or saline for 7 d. Fully fed pigs (n = 20) were infused intravenously for 2 h with NaH(13)CO(3) followed by a 4-h intraduodenal infusion of [1-(13)C]phenylalanine. Arterial and portal venous blood and breath samples were obtained at baseline and steady-state conditions for measurement of amino acid and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations and whole-body phenylalanine oxidation. Urea cycle enzyme activities were determined in liver and jejunum. ST decreased BUN (-46%), arterial (-34%) and portal venous (-43%) amino acid concentrations and whole-body phenylalanine oxidation (-30%). The activities of carbamoylphosphate synthase-I (-45%), argininosuccinate synthase (-38%), argininosuccinate lyase (-23%), arginase (-27%), and glutaminase (-18%), but not of ornithine carbamoyltransferase, ornithine aminotransferase, or glutamate dehydrogenase were reduced in liver of ST-treated pigs. ST slightly increased intestinal activity of glutaminase (+9%) but did not affect that of any other enzymes. ST decreased hepatic, but increased jejunal, N-acetylglutamate (an essential allosteric activator of carbamoylphosphate synthase-I; -26% and +32%, respectively) and carbamoylphosphate (a substrate for ornithine carbamoyltransferase; -20% and +28%, respectively) content. These results demonstrate that the reduced amino acid catabolism with ST treatment in growing pigs involves a reduction in hepatic urea cycle enzyme activities. The effect of ST treatment on porcine urea cycle enzymes is tissue-specific and is associated with a reduction in substrate availability for hepatic ureagenesis.

Bath independent schools angry over GCSE league tables
Posted: January 28, 2014|
A number of Bath's independent schools have reacted angrily to the fact that their GCSE results have not been included in national league tables.
Kingswood School, Prior Park College and King Edward's School have all been listed by the Department for Education (DfE) as having no pupils achieving the expected five or more A* to C grades, including English and maths, during last summer's exams.
This is because they have entered students for the slightly different IGCSE qualification, which the Government does not recognise.
Prior Park head teacher James Murphy O'Connor said his school's results were actually 95 per cent and the DfE's stance was "demoralising" for everyone involved.
He said: "Those schools therefore that have had the freedom to select such courses on the basis of educational value rather than league table acceptability, have been penalised, recording a zero pass rate for where pupils have been entered for these unrecognised qualifications.
"Not surprisingly, it is the independent sector that is most beset by this calumny. This arbitrary use of data is at best misleading, and at worst presents a distorted picture that thwarts objective comparison, whilst acting to demoralise pupils and their teachers."
Kingswood head Simon Morris, who said his school's results were 97 per cent, also voiced his concern.
He said: "I am all for openness in respect of school performance in public examinations, but it is so demoralising for pupils and teachers that the DfE has chosen not to recognise IGCSE qualifications in its latest performance tables and has therefore presented a misleading picture of pupil achievement in schools such as Kingswood."
A DfE spokeswoman said all regulated IGCSEs which were approved by the independent regulator Ofqual were included in the tables and that schools had been given two years' notice that all unregulated ones would not be accepted from 2013.
Across Bath and north east Somerset 63.6 per cent of students secured five or more A* to C grades, including English and maths, last summer, which was an improvement on the previous year's score of 57.5 per cent.
Some of the area's state schools achieved particularly good results, with 77 per cent of pupils at Oldfield School and 74 per cent at Wellsway School gaining the expected grades.
The best performing state school at AS and A-level was Beechen Cliff School, with an average point score per pupil of 813.2.
Overall, the B&NES average was 765.3, lower than both Somerset and Wiltshire.
