May 5, 2016
A document written for liberal-leaning groups brainstorming how to fight back against Gov. Pat McCrory and fellow Republican legislative leaders has shaken up North Carolina's political landscape.
Strategy memos by consultants evaluating a politician or party's strengths and weaknesses aren't unusual. But the draft memo attributed to the state affiliate of a national political group called America Votes surprised many for its bluntness.
The document suggested mitigating Republican legislation by "crippling their leaders" through a series of political maneuvers and "eviscerating" them.
The memo's disclosure couldn't have come at a better time for GOP leaders and McCrory. Democrats had criticized them for weeks for supporting bills they say hurt the poor. Now Republicans can say people aligned with Democrats are all about personal attacks.

Tow Truck
this wiki
The Vapid Tow Truck, or Towtruck, is, as implied, a name for a series of hook-and-chain tow trucks featured in Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, The Lost and Damned downloadable episodic pack for Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. The name of the tow truck in GTA San Andreas and The Lost and Damned are rendered in a single word, "Towtruck". Each variant of the towtruck sports amber flashing lights, however these cannot be operated by the player.
The Tow Truck debuted in GTA 2 as a towing vehicle based on the chassis of a large truck, and a cab design similar to certain large trucks in the game (including the Van, Ice Cream Van, Hot Dog Van and the G4 Bank Van); the vehicle is also available with yellow body color only. The vehicle also lacks any towing ability, unlike the Truck Cab and Truck Cab SX. It is only in Multiplayer, so most people who have GTA 2 have never driven it.
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas, the Tow Truck gains the ability to tow other vehicles. This can be very useful for transporting locked cars, or special vehicles in the game. It can also tow other types of vehicles, including helicopters and airplanes. The Tow Truck, somewhat, resembles a seventh generation F-Series Ford Wrecker. A fun thing to do with this ability is to spawn as many Tow Trucks the player desires and connect all those trucks, as if it were a train.
HD Universe
GTA The Lost and DamnedThe Vapid Towtruck in GTA IV's The Lost and Damned appears to be the same make as the Slamvan, which resembles a second generation Ford F-Series tow truck. However, the headlights and grille look like they are from a 1975-'79 Ford Econoline van, and the windshield and door tops awkwardly appear to be from a 1980's Ford F-Series. Constantly featuring "Native Engines" company logos on its doors, it is rusty and in disrepair, and has a distorted horn, much like the "beater" variants of the Emperor, Sabre, and Vigero. As in GTA 2, the Towtruck is incapable of towing anything.
GTA VThere are two different Tow Trucks featuring in GTA V. The regular Towtruck looks the same as in The Lost and Damned. In Trailer 2 it was seen in dark red color and if seen closely, it has a hook scraping the road which means may possibly be able to have the ability to lift/tow vehicles. There is also a Large Tow Truck, possibly for towing large vehicles like trucks, buses or vans.
Despite being a tow truck, the Tow Truck in GTA San Andreas is very fast, but has a tad understeer. It is perfect for off-road, because of its soft suspensions, great grip, and powerful V8 engine. It is also a durable vehicle, and can even survive a collision with Rhino (which normally blows up weaker vehicles on impact). This can be espacially helpfull when the Los Santos Riots break out, as it can take quite a number of bullets and survive close up explosions. It handles about the same as the Sadler , only faster, with a stronger engine, and the ability to tow. It ties with other pickup trucks like the Yosemite, in overall performance.
HD Era
The Towtruck in TLAD is considerably inferior in performance, possessing average acceleration (owed largely to its light weight) and top speed, but possesses poor steering which requires the aid of brakes to corner sharply. Its rear wheel drive configuration and slightly overpowered engine also results in the Towtruck suffering from minor sliding after tight turns.
- The default radio stations for the Tow Truck are:
- GTA San Andreas: K-DST.
- The Lost and Damned: Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.
- Oddly, in GTA San Andreas, the Tow Truck shares the same horn with the Super GT.
- In GTA San Andreas, if large or heavy vehicles are towed by the Tow Truck, some glitches may occur. For example, towing a Dozer and turning the Tow Truck sharply in any direction will throw the two vehicles in opposite directions with great force. Also, if you tow a Packer with some vehicles on its back, the vehicles may sometimes be thrown into the air with great force, and the Packer may catch on fire and explode.
- In The Lost and Damned, the tow truck has the same horn as the beater Vigero.
- The TLAD version of the tow truck doesn't have reversing lights. This applies for the Intruder, Super Diamond, Contender and the Super Drop Diamond.
- The vehicle is only available in the game's multiplayer modes, as it cannot be found in any districts in Anywhere City or any single-player missions.
GTA San Andreas
- Inside the Angel Pine Junkyard
- Usually seen driving around Ocean Docks and its vicinity.
- Usually seen driving around at the LVA Freight Depot, Las Venturas.
GTA The Lost and Damned
- Usually driving around Bohan.
- Usually driving around in Northern Alderney if you ride any of the TLAD bikes, e.g. Hexer.
- Spawns all around Alderney. Usually Berchem, Normandy, Leftwood, Alderney City, or Westdyke
- Sometimes seen driving around Northwood or North Holland
- Spawns more frequently when driving around in a Slamvan
Grand Theft Auto V
- A Large tow truck spawns at the LS Customs nearest to the Airport.

Chair of Theoretical Computer Science
- DFG: Projekt "radiales und zyklisches Zeichnen von Graphen" (2009-2011)
- Gravisto contains an powerful data structure, which is easy to extend, to save graphs. Furthermore it is an object-oriented framework for the implementation of graph drawing editors and algorithms. Gravisto was implemented in Java from scratch.
- Graphlet (no more available) is a toolkit for the implementation of editors and drawing algorithms for graphs. Graphlet is based on GTL (graphlet-5.0.1-lgpl).
- GML (Graph Modelling Language): There are many different programs that work with graphs but almost all of them use their own file format. As a consequence, exchanging graphs between different programs is almost impossible. Simple tasks like exchange of data, externally reproducible results or a common benchmark suite are much harder than neccessary.
Therefore, we have developed a new file format for the Graphlet system: GML. GML supports attaching arbitrary information to graphs, nodes and edges, and is therefore able to emulate almost every other format.
In the following the documentation, the parser and a technical report with respect to GML:
- GTL (Graph Template Library) is a STL based library, which provides necessary classes and algorithms for the work with graphs. Furthermore it contains modules for more complex graph algorithms (GTL-1.2.4-lgpl).
- Biopath is a platform for a convenient electronic access to the biochemical knowledge. It provides information from different views and in distinct levels of detail. Biopath provides powerful search mechanisms for substances and reaction networks, it gives access to different types of information on enzymes, reactions and metabolism and automatically computes visual representations of complex reactions nets. Biopath is easy to use and can be updated and extended (detailed description).
- GraphEd is an interactive, extendable editor for graphs and graph gramatics. GraphEd was replaced by Graphlet and is not supported anymore.
On the pages of VisnaCom (in german) an editor for compound graphs is presented. It was created in the scope of two diploma theses supported by Marcus Raitner at the chair of Prof. Dr. Franz Brandenburg. Both diploma theses are based on results of the dissertation "Efficient Visual Navigation of Hierarchically Structured Graphs" of Marcus Raitner.

Their "flagship" twitter account @nypl must be one of the most followed library twitter accounts in the world with over 100k followers. They are not quite the most followed Library Twitter account, I believe this honour belongs to the Library of congress Twitter account (thanks to all the librarians following them?) but according to my own informal analysis using Klout NYPL is probably the most "influential" Library on Twitter
The case study here mentions they use hootsuite to handle over 100 twitter accounts and between 2009 to 2010 increased the number of visiting to their website from twitter by 353.98% and in the process picked up the PR News 2010 Nonprofit PR Award.
I have not done a through analysis of Library Facebook pages, Flickr accounts, iTunes or YouTube channels but I would be surprised if the ones by NYPL aren't among the most active (see their list of Social Media channels).
For example they have 30,000 likes on their facebook page, 1,500 subscribers to their YouTube channel etc. Again they are beat out only by the Library of Congress facebook account which has close to 40,000 likes.
But besides that, the closest library I could find with a quick search was Seattle Public Library with 10,000+ likes and even that is unusually high even for the biggest public library systems
In 12 good library videos that spoofs movies or tv , I covered their viral movie hit, spoofing Ghostbusters which has close to 4 million views.
Recently they added yet another feather to their cap, they became the first public library in the world to have their own Foursquare badge!
I'm looking at their main FourSquare venue and there are over 16,000 check-ins! To put things into perspective, Library of Congress has 2,000+ (strangely enough my own library has 2,800+). Is there any library venue that comes close to NYPL? Again, I didn't do a systemic search but I looked at some of the biggest public libraries in the US/Canada but the closest I found was in fact 6,700+ check-ins from the national library in Singapore (guess Singapore is quite a bit ahead of the US when it comes to mobile usage).
Do you know of any library venue on Foursquare that is comparable to these figures?
Regardless, it's clear that NYPL is *the* "Social Media Library" to watch. Granted, they have the size, the name & reputation to begin with, but comparable public library systems of similar size have not I feel come close to their success in using Social Media.
It's clear to me that part of the reason for their success is that they have a top class professional public relations and marketing team, they even reached out to me informing me about their success with FourSquare which incidentally made me feel like some A-list tech blogger. :)
Should all libraries try to be like them? What about academic libraries? Is there a rock star social media academic library version of NYPL?

Early Onset of Diabetes in the Proband Is the Major Determinant of Risk in HLA DR3-DQ2/DR4-DQ8 Siblings

Islet autoimmunity is initiated in infancy, and primary prevention trials require children at high genetic risk to be identified before autoantibodies appear. To inform screening strategies, we evaluated risks of autoimmunity and diabetes associated with HLA DR3-DQ2/DR4-DQ8 in U.K. families. Extended HLA haplotypes were determined in 2,134 siblings from the Bart's-Oxford Study followed to a median age of 22 years. Risks of diabetes and islet autoimmunity (more than two antibodies) were estimated by survival analysis. Of 138 informative DR3-DQ2/DR4-DQ8 siblings, 63% shared both haplotypes with their diabetic proband, 29% shared one, and 8% shared neither. In HLA-identical DR3-DQ2/DR4-DQ8 siblings, the cumulative risk of diabetes by age 15 was 17% (vs. 6% in those sharing one haplotype or none; P = 0.095). Risk varied, however, with the age at the onset of diabetes in the proband; the cumulative risk of autoimmunity and/or diabetes by age 15 was 61% in siblings of probands diagnosed when younger than 10 years old compared with only 4.7% in those diagnosed after age 10 years (P < 0.001). The age of the proband at diagnosis, but not HLA haplotype sharing, was an independent determinant of sibling risk. This suggests that non-HLA genes or epigenetic/environmental factors that accelerate the progression of type 1 diabetes in the proband strongly affect risk in siblings.

National Children's Study Starts in St. Louis
Saint Louis U, WU, SIUE, Battelle Collaborate on Landmark Research
ST. LOUIS - The National Children's Study, the largest study ever conducted in the United States to learn about the health and development of children, is beginning in St. Louis.
|Louise Flick, DrPH, is principal investigator for the National Children's Study Gateway Study Center and professor of epidemiology at Saint Louis University School of Public Health.
Led locally by Saint Louis University School of Public Health, the study will follow more than 100,000 children from before birth until age 21 from diverse backgrounds and communities across the United States. It will examine the effects of the environment and genetics on the growth, development and health of children.
"The ultimate goal of the study is to improve the health and well-being of children. We believe the National Children's Study will guide public health policies and the treatment of children for generations to come," said Louise Flick, DrPH, principal investigator for the National Children's Study Gateway Study Center and professor of epidemiology at Saint Louis University School of Public Health.
Washington University in St. Louis, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and Battelle Center for Public Health Research and Evaluation, St. Louis Office, are collaborating partners on the research in the region.
Carrying identification badges and driving cars marked with the National Children's Study logo, in the coming weeks workers from Battelle will go door-to-door in selected St. Louis neighborhoods as they identify women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant and would like their children to be part of the study. Ultimately, more than 1,000 children from the city will be sought for the research, which will last for more than 21 years.
Part of the Gateway Study Center, the City of St. Louis was randomly selected as one of the pilot sites that will enroll children in 2010 because it represents an urban area.
Children from Jefferson County, Mo.; Macoupin County, Ill.; and Johnson/Union/Williamson counties, Ill.; which are other communities in the Gateway Study Center, will be recruited in 2012 as the study expands nationally to include a total of 105 study locations. Ultimately, more than 4,000 children from the Gateway Study Center will be sought for the research.
"The study will examine how children's health is affected by many factors, including their family health history and places where they live, learn and play," said Allison King, M.D., MPH, co-principal investigator at Washington University.
"Some of those factors occur prior to conception or during the first trimester of pregnancy, which is why we're studying children before birth. The consequences of other factors, such as environmental exposure, may take a lot of time to develop, which is why the study lasts until participants are 21 years old."
The study gathers information and environmental and genetic materials, such as samples of drinking water or strands of hair. Families in the study will provide information and samples during meetings with the study team staff before and during pregnancy and after birth, as the child grows up.
"The National Children's Study observes what is already happening in a child's life and doesn't introduce experimental treatments," said Laura Bernaix, Ph.D., co-principal investigator from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. "Researchers are gathering information during regular visits, which will occur less often over time."
The National Children's Study is funded by the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Environmental Protection Agency. As the lead regional site, Saint Louis University School of Public Health was awarded a total of $53.1 million to conduct the research. The bulk of the funding supports information gathering.
For more information about the study, visit www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov or call (314) 302-2824 or (866) 559-0928.
Accredited for 19 years, Saint Louis University School of Public Health remains the only accredited school of public health in Missouri. It is one of 42 fully accredited public health schools in the U.S. and the only accredited Jesuit school in the nation.

Land Use
Even though the French laid claim to the area as early as 1682, Native Americans of the Missouri, Osage, Fox, and Sac tribes were in undisputed possession of northern Missouri until the United States took ownership in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. Beginning in 1804, Native Americans made a series of treaties that eventually relinquished their claims to land in Missouri.
Current boundaries for Marion and Shelby counties were established in 1825 and 1835. Agriculture quickly became the area's economic base with the arrival of whites settlers following the War of 1812. These settlers, mostly from Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio, caused rapid population growth in the region until the early 1900's. With the exception of Marion County, the human population began to decline around 1920. For example, the population of Shelby County from 1900 to 1997 fell from 16,167 to 6,818. The population of Marion County has remained relatively stable due to its proximity to the Mississippi River.
Much of the presettlement landscape in the upper portion of the North River basin was prairie (Schroeder 1982). In fact, over half the land in Shelby County was prairie. In the lower portion of the basin, largely Marion County, most land was timbered and only about 24% was prairie. Both prairie and forest diminished rapidly with the commencement of land clearing for both row crops and livestock grazing.
Current Land Use
Estimates of current land cover/use were provided by MORAP (unpublished 1999). Approximately 77% of the land in the watershed is used for agricultural purposes (Figure Lu01). Approximately 117,730 acres (48%) are cultivated for crops, and another 69,195 acres (28%) are in pasture/grassland. Only about 21% of the basin is forested.
County crop production reports for Marion and Shelby counties indicate that soybeans are the most important field crop in terms of acres planted and harvested (Sallee et al. 1996). Wheat and corn rank second and third. Annual livestock production in these two counties combined was 57,300 head of cattle and 124,900 hogs. Shelby County is among Missouri's top swine producing counties.

Carlos Maza attended a weekend conference on defending "natural marriage" sponsored by NOM. It's a sad, infuriating, and frightening account, giving the lie to NOM's claim that they aren't anti-gay, just pro-tradition.
Maza includes a wealth of links, as well, creating a great compendium of NOM's general egregiousness.

- This article is about the aircraft appearing in GTA III, San Andreas and V. For the character in Grand Theft Auto 2, see Dodo (GTA 2).
The Dodo is a small airplane appearing in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V, while also making appearances flying around the 3D cities of the 3D Universe.
In general, the GTA III rendition has short, stubby wings that appear to have been sawed off at the mid-point (it is explained in the story that the Dodo was the plane that dropped packages in A Drop in the Ocean, but had since been seized by federal agents, and was being stripped as part of a warrant to search the plane) in order to make it virtually impossible to fly (hence the name, Dodo), while the GTA San Andreas rendition features a complete wing span. It strongly resembles an older Cessna 152 or Cessna 150, and is always painted red and white. The Dodo, with or without wings, behaves the same on ground - the faster its propeller spins, the more unstable it is.
In the GTA III rendition, the Dodo was programmed to become unflyable; the Rockstar devs elaborated more on a recent QA session: "Because we were making a driving and shooting game - even that, as a combination of core gameplay elements, was very, very radical at the time. The Dodo was never meant to be flown very much at all, and it certainly wasn't grounded as a result of 9/11 – it was just a fun thing that people then went crazy with when they figured out various bugs that let them fly it!"However, the player can still fly the Dodo on the PC version although it is incredibly difficult. Full-winged Dodos are seen flying around in both Liberty City and Vice City, often towing fliers in the latter case. They can be shot down with rockets (either with a weapon or the Hunter), earning the player an instant 3-star wanted level. This kind of Dodo is called a DeadDodo in the games' vehicle files.
A similarly Cessna-based airplane, similar to a 172 Skyhawk model, is also featured in a Grand Theft Auto V pre-release screenshot, possibly being a modern version of the Dodo. Also noticeable is that the fuselage is white with blue stripes, more closely resembling it's real life counterpart, rather than the III / SA red and white scheme.
GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories
As the GTA III rendition of the controllable Dodo evidently features shorter wings, the plane is considerably difficult to control; often, a normal pitch or roll may send the plane plummeting out of control, and the thrust of the engine alone cannot be relied on to aid in lift. GTA III's Dodo is thus intended to only remain in the air for short periods of time, but it is possible for the plane to continuously stay airborne.
Takeoff alone requires an unorthodox method of "sling shooting" the aircraft upwards using the suspension of the plane's front landing gear by performing the following:
- While accelerating down a long, flat surfacing, gradually increase the downward pitch of the plane (usually by holding up on the left analog stick in PS2 version and the "Dodo down" button that is set in the PC version).
- When the pitch of the plane is low enough that sparks from the propeller scraping the ground are visible and can be heard, release the left analog stick in PS2 version or Dodo down button in PC version. The plane should shoot upward, and the player must quickly stabilize the plane by keeping it level.
- The player is required to continuously hold on to the plane's acceleration and pressing down on the D-pad or Dodo down button (in PC) to keep the plane level to the horizon and also to ensure smooth flying.
The Dodo will continuously be in phugoid when in flight. After flying a certain distance, the Dodo is expected to pitch downwards, but will soon pitch upwards again after gaining momentum and lift from the fall, repeating the same drop-rise sequence over again. Because of this, the Dodo can be considered to be closely related to a glider. From takeoff onwards, the player must be wary of the pitch of the plane, doing their best to level the Dodo to ensure the plane does not ascend or descend too quickly, as it will result in more violent fluctuations in flight and increases the risk of crashing. Rolling (steering) of the Dodo must also be done with care by softly tapping the directional controls of the plane instead of holding them, which results in violent rolling and leading to the plane dropping from the sky.
If controlled properly, the Dodo can reach great heights, even flying over skyscrapers (see this video). The Dodo may also be used to reach inaccessible parts of the city, such as the Ghost Town, or the Easter egg text on the edge of the radar's map.
Camera Glitch
Once the player has mastered flying the Dodo, which takes time and practice, he/she can fly anywhere on the map. However, a precaution must be taken into consideration to prevent a ruined flight. The player must avoid flying over unique stunt jumps, as flying over them will trigger a cinematic view (a normality when driving off a particular ramp in a car) and the slow-motion camera will not subside until the player crashes into the ground or ocean, almost certainly resulting in death. Because of the scattered jumps in GTA III, it is imperative for the player to know of all locations to avoid flying over them. This glitch makes flying the Dodo much more of a challenge.
In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the GTA III Dodo is obtainable through third party mods. However, it has no acceleration and therefore is useless, as it never moves, unless if the player uses a cheat device.
GTA San Andreas
The Dodo in GTA San Andreas, is the smallest plane in the game. The Dodo has a complete wing span and full functionality, greater stability and control, and has an engine far more reliable in keeping the plane airborne (using Flying School methods, rather than the GTA III method). However, with a range of superior aircraft available in the game, the Dodo remains an undesirable option, being one of the slowest and most underpowered planes in game, although it is still considerably maneuverable. The Dodo is not seen flown by NPCs in the skies in GTA San Andreas.
Prominent appearances in missions
In GTA III, two of Donald Love's missions involve the Dodo: A Drop In The Ocean requires you to follow a Dodo in a boat and pick up the package it drops in the bay; the other, Grand Theft Aero, requires you to enter the same Dodo (parked in a hangar) to retrieve another package. Another mission, S.A.M. (for Asuka Kasen), requires you to shoot one down with a rocket and collect the cargo it was carrying from the wreckage.
In GTA San Andreas, during the mission "Freefall" you must fly a Dodo above and behind a Shamal jet in which some Forelli hitmen are being transported, to do a hit for Salvatore Leone.
- The Dodo was meant to appear in GTA IV, because of the handling line being still in the game's files.[1]
- The Dodo in GTA III and GTA Vice City (as the banner-pulling plane), bears the letters "Y", "M" and "E" at the beginning of the plane's registration number on the tail end of the fuselage, which reads similar to "Why me?".
- Dodo is a play on words, as a Dodo was a flightless, now extinct bird of Mauritius.
- The Dodo in GTA 3 has abnormal crash mechanics. For example, hitting a sign or light post with one of its wings will cause the Dodo to spin around, often even bouncing it into the air a few feet.
- According to programming, the Dodo in GTA III is actually a "car" that has been modified to fly (in default.ide, the Dodo's type is set to car, not plane). This is why it has many car-like properties, such as its resilience to high-speed crashes and car-like behavior on the ground.
- The Dodo in GTA III is the only plane in the entire Grand Theft Auto series to feature brakes; these can be applied by using the handbrake key.
- In GTA III, the Dodo's wheels will still be spinning when it is airborne. In GTA San Andreas, the wheels do not rotate even if the plane is moving on the ground.
- The GTA III Dodo can be exported, although it is extremely hard to put the Dodo in any export garage. However, the Dodo can be driven as a car to Portland, providing the player keeps it undamaged. Even if the player manages to do this, it is extremely hard to even get into the Dodo. If the player manages to do that, the player must back it up, and turn it around, another extreme method.
- The propeller always spins on the GTA 3 version even if the plane is destroyed.
- According to Rockstar, the Dodo was never meant to be flown much. Nor was it ever grounded as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Rockstar meant for it to be "just a fun thing that people then went crazy with when they figured out various bugs that let them fly it!"[2]
- In GTA III, if the player pitches the Dodo upward, and then presses on the brake so the engine deccelerates, the Dodo may swing back and start gliding backwards for a short distance.
- A small propeller plane similar to the Dodo is in GTA V.
- In the green hangar north of Francis International Airport (only after Grand Theft Aero).
- In the southwest hangar in Francis International Airport.
- In the east end of the runway in Francis International Airport.
- In Portland Import/Export Garage (once it is completed).
GTA San Andreas
- In the east side of Los Santos International Airport, near the entrance.
- Southeast of the main circle with grass in Easter Bay International Airport in San Fierro.
- All around the west side of Las Venturas Airport.

Also, always have your pet checked by your veterinarian before starting any weight loss program.
[ Back to Top ]
It is a good idea to start at the low end of the suggested amount, monitor your pet's weight for several weeks, then adjust the amount fed accordingly.
Also consider what else your pet may eat. If your pet typically gets table scraps, treats, and a "little something to make the food taste better," these are other reasons your pet is gaining excess weight. The calories in "little extras" add up very quickly.
[ Back to Top ]
First, weight reduction diets generally have less fat and more fiber, resulting in a food that is less energy dense. This allows for a greater loss of body fat than simply feeding smaller amounts of a high-fat diet. This is because fat contains over twice as many calories as protein and carbohydrates, and the less energy dense foods tend to produce satiety (a feeling of being full) at a lower level of calorie intake. In addition, more energy is used in digesting and absorbing lower-fat, higher-fiber diets. Finally, weight reduction diets contain the proper amount of vitamins and minerals per serving size. By feeding less of your pet's regular food, you are also decreasing the level of protein, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your pet receives. These differences could be eliminated by using supplements, but using a food more specifically balanced for weight loss requires less guess work.
[ Back to Top ]
First, feel for your dog's ribs. You should be able to feel the ribs quite easily. There should be a slight amount of fat over them, but each rib should be distinct. If you can see the ribs, your dog is too thin. If you cannot feel them at all, your dog is very overweight.
Second, check the area near the base of your dog's tail. There should be a small amount of fat covering this area and it should feel smooth overall. If the bones protrude, your dog is too thin; if you cannot feel any bones at all, your dog is very overweight.
Third, feel other bony prominences on the dog's body such as the spine, shoulders, and hips. Again, you should be able to feel a small amount of fat over these areas. If these bones are easily felt or visible, your dog is too thin. If you cannot feel the bones beneath the layer of fat, your dog is obviously overweight.
Fourth, look at your dog from above. (If your dog has long hair, it may be easier and more accurate to check your dog when he is wet-after a bath or a swim.) Your dog should have a definite waist behind the ribs. If the waist is extreme or if bony prominences are visible, your dog is too thin. If there is no waist, or worse yet, the area between the ribs and hips is wider than the hips or ribs, your dog is grossly overweight.
Fifth, look at your dog from the side. Dogs should have an abdominal tuck, i.e., the area behind the ribs should be smaller in diameter than the chest. This can vary a lot between breeds. Some dog breeds such as Irish Setters and Greyhounds, for instance, appear to have a much more distinct abdominal tuck, since they are so deep-chested. A dog who is too thin will have a very severe abdominal tuck. Overweight dogs will have no abdominal tuck.

Was wondering how people decided how much lp their file had. For example whenever i make a falkow rush, any falkow rush, i choose my lp count based on the number of sacs in the file, generally using the formula lp = number of sacs + 1.
For example:
Here, the file has 5 sac units, 3 sages and 2 unidines (volfy doesn't count cause he isn't used in like 90% of the games). So, accordingly i have 6 lp worth of life points counting ahelby-> song as 2 lp.
So i was wondering how people determine their lp counts and types of souls for different file types i.e. rushes, lvl 4s, mids, bigs, etc of each sphere.

Mental health has always been, at the least, a touchy subject among African Americans. As powerfully as it can impact lives, it doesn't help to ignore or, still worse, pass judgment on people who suffer mental problems. Accordingly, Linda and Nneka Onyilofor with illustrator Aaron Gilmore have created a remarkable children's book, My Brother Adam: A journey with schizophrenia (Radiant Heart Press) that can help adults as well as kids gain a constructive outlook on the subject. For the authors, this professional undertaking is one of personal significance. They are moved to inform readers as a public service by family circumstance. Linda Onyilofor states, "So many people are not taught about schizophrenia, and the disease is misunderstood. Continue Reading →

What's with all the Iowa sports coverage, almost daily in the Des Moines Register for the last two months. From Spring football and basketball to Chris Street and Jim Zabel. A lot of there stories get up to two pages of coverage. ISU got a lot of negative coverage when they had the telephone scandal going on. Am I the only one seeing this? I think I am ready to drop the Register!
The Rag may indeed have a bit of a bias. But newspapers report the news... For awhile, Iowa's basketball team was the only one still playing (albeit in the NIT), Chris Street gets coverage every year, and Zabel passing away is of course going to get coverage.
The Des Moines Register is still around?
No worries, ISU has had a better on-field/court performance the past year, so that's all that matters.
You haven't already?

I dropped THAT paper about a month ago. I stopped a Dahl's yesterday and they're giving away the paper away and offering a cheap subscription and $10 gift card to Dahl's. That'll teach them for treating the Cyclones more times than not in negative reporting unlike that eastern university.

Register circulation plummets (again).
Far fewer people are buying the print edition, where subscribers are also forced to pay for the electronic edition whether they want it or not. And now that it costs money far fewer people are browsing the electronic edition, as compared with a year ago.
The combined print and digital paid circulation for the Sunday Register averaged 171,287 in the six months ended March 31, according to the newspapers audited reports. Thats down a whopping 14.6 percent from the 200,660 of a year earlier.
The Monday-Friday circulation print and digital in the latest period averaged 93,304, down 8.5 percent from the 101,915 of a year before. ...
The figures indicate the Des Moines newspapers pricing strategy isnt working. While print subscribers, forced also to buy the electronic edition, are leaving in droves, digital-only subscriptions remain anemic. In the latest period, the daily Register reported just 6,812 digital-only subscribers, and the vast majority of those buy a digital edition that includes only select advertising content from the print edition. In other words, more than 5,000 of the 93,304 daily subscribers are not getting most of the ads. ...
Perhaps most alarming for Register executives is the sharp drop in the number of people who browse the newspapers website. According to the Register, the number of unique browsers on the papers website in January totaled 1,599,790 down 36 percent from the 2,503,724 of a year earlier, when the website was free. (Thats a self-reported, unaudited figure.) The paper also reported large drops for February and March.
The Registers figures for the metro area are equally bad. .........

I live in CR and the Gazette coverage has been comical this summer. The are constantly covering Iowa's "Glory Days" with gripping headlines like "Ex- Hawks in NFL" or "Top 10 Ferentz coached games". The only coverage the upcoming season is getting is when they announce kick off times. The casual Iowa fan is as disinterested as I've ever seen them.

In 2011, the Women's Foundation of Minnesota (WFM) launched MN Girls Are Not For Sale, a five-year four-million dollar effort to end the sexual trafficking of girls and young women. The sad fact is, despite WFM's staunch commitment to this crucial cause, girls and young women are still for sale. Until concrete measures are resolutely brought to bear, this insidious, illicit market thrives with wretched, far-reaching, life-destroying consequence. The Department of Justice identifies Minneapolis-St. Paul as a major child sex-trafficking center, one of the nation's 15 largest. Continue Reading →

Save your job! Buy American!
Cars and trucks that are made in the U.S.A
Ford & GM = Trouble
Today, such arrogance would be misplaced. GM and its cross-town rival, Ford Motor Company, are in deep trouble. Wall Street has downgraded both from investment grade to junk bond status. Market share is plunging, health care costs are skyrocketing, product is aging, and neither has a reputation for long-term quality and durability. This, despite steady quality gains and the recent introductions of several appealing new models that meet, if not exceed, the standards set by imports.
To combat the rising costs of doing business and accept new market realities, during the next several years GM is slicing 25,000 jobs, closing assembly plants, and shrinking product lines. Bill Ford, chairman and CEO of Ford Motor Company, is valiantly refusing compensation until he turns his company around while simultaneously slicing 2,700 positions from the corporate payroll. These trends continue a downward spiral for GM and Ford, which have lost a combined 1.15 million sales and have closed (or are about to close) four U.S. assembly plants since the start of the 21st century.
And it's not just Ford and GM that are struggling. Subaru, which operates an assembly plant in Indiana, has joined the two biggest domestic automakers in the junk-bond category despite one of the most impressive reliability records of any car brand sold in America.
Fifty years after Wilson testified before the Senate, his assertion never rang truer. But now, what's bad for GM (and Ford, and any car maker designing, developing, and manufacturing cars in the U.S.) is bad for the country. Whether you realize it or not, this shrinking of the domestic automobile industry directly affects you.

Shifting Fortunes
Still, the sales of imported vehicles built outside of our borders continue to impact our collective bottom lines. Overall, the U.S. market that has seen a five-year decline of half a million units sold, yet import sales have risen here by about 550,000 – mainly in trucks. The result is that homegrown U.S. vehicle production has dwindled by more than one million units since 1999, leaving small American companies, small American towns, and hard working Americans unemployed.
Fortunately, as assembly plants have closed in northern regions of the U.S., transplants have been opening huge, state-of-the-art facilities in the Deep South. Three are open now, and a fourth ribbon-cutting ceremony for a Toyota Tundra truck-building factory in San Antonio, Texas, is slated for 2006.
But we, as Americans, cannot expect foreign companies to ensure the health of our economy. Ultimately, the responsibility to make sure America, and Americans, remain economically viable rests in our hands. We must buy American.

How to Buy American
Buying American can be defined two ways. The old-school definition relies on where the ultimate profit goes when you buy a car. The modern definition, based on the reality of a global economy, considers the impact of your purchase on local economies.
Traditionally, when it comes to cars, buying American means purchasing anything made by the Big Three – Chrysler, Ford, GM – or the companies they own and operate or have invested in.
Chrysler used to be an American company based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, but merged with DaimlerBenz a few years back and is now headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. Technically, profit dollars from the sale of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep products get shipped across the Atlantic to der faterland for conversion into Euros. We no longer consider Chrysler Group products to be "American" in the traditional sense.
Ford Motor Company is based in Dearborn, Michigan. Ford's brand portfolio, the roster of vehicle makes that the company sells, includes Aston Martin, Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercury, and Volvo.
General Motors is based in Detroit, Michigan. GM's brand portfolio includes Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Pontiac, Saab, and Saturn. GM also owns a substantial stake in each of these Japanese automakers: Isuzu, Subaru and Suzuki.
Buy any one of these Ford or GM vehicles, and profit dollars ultimately land in the Great Lakes State, lining the coffers of two huge corporations that have, historically, paid top executives ridiculous amounts of salary, benefits, bonuses, and stock options to let market dominance erode.
Ford and GM also build cars outside of the U.S., in places like Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, England, and Sweden. Given the swing toward global economies during the past few decades, this is natural and necessary to compete on a worldwide scale.
But, if you'd rather support local economies, you should try to buy a car or truck assembled within the borders of the United States. In addition to Ford and GM, companies like Honda, Nissan, and Toyota are investing in the U.S. to make sure our nation's small towns and working-class heroes can continue to pay the mortgage, send the kids to school, and put food on the table. Screw those high-powered execs that have squandered market share over the past half-century – give the money to the little guy!
Cars and trucks built by foreign automakers within the United States wear Acura, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Toyota badges. Because DaimlerChrysler is a German corporation, we include Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles in this category as well.
Pick your poison, or combine our Old-School and Modern Reality definitions for buying American and select a Ford or GM product that is assembled within the U.S. To help you make a decision, we've compiled a handy guide that shows what models are made in the U.S.A., indexed by make. This list does not include models that are assembled in Canada and Mexico – that's why vehicles like the Buick Rendezvous, Chevy Impala, Chrysler 300, and Mercury Grand Marquis are absent. That's right, Grandpa, your chrome-bedecked turnpike cruiser came from the Great White North.
Buy American! You might not only save the jobs of others, but also your own.

Cars and trucks that are made in the U.S.A
One of the best entry-level luxury sedans on the market today, the Acura TL, is made in Marysville, Ohio. We recommend this car, and not just because it meets our criteria for this story. Powerful, comfortable, and stylish, the Acura TL is fun to drive when you want it to be, luxurious when you need it to be, and enjoys a reputation for reliability. And since Marysville is the sole source for TLs sold in the U.S., there's no need to worry that your car came from a factory in Japan.

With a luxury suv and a sporty roadster covering the bases, you can buy a BMW that's not only made in America but serves your purposes. Like most BMWs, the Z4 roadster is great fun to drive, and the X5 SUV carries five passengers and a good-sized load of cargo in case a roadster isn't big enough.

In recent years, Cadillac has remade itself into a world-class competitor by creating luxurious vehicles equipped with sophisticated technology and dressed in distinctive sheetmetal. Quality is also better than ever, if not quite to Lexus and BMW standards. This luxury division of General Motors will complete its metamorphosis this fall with the release of the DTS, which replaces the DeVille in the lineup. Most modern Cadillacs are stylish and fun to drive. Resale values continue to lag primary competitors, but otherwise, the new generation of Cadillacs is an impressive lineup.

Chrysler Town & Country – St. Louis, Missouri
The hot-selling 300 and extremely safe Pacifica are built in Canada, PT Cruisers are made in Mexico, and the Crossfire hails from Germany, so that leaves this rag-tag group of winged-badge products to represent Chrysler's Buy American contingent. The Town & Country has a slick Stow 'n Go seating system that's handy for people who haul both people and cargo on a regular basis, but the aged Sebrings leave something to be desired. The Coupe is dead after the 2005 model year, and the Convertible and Sedan are rental fleet specials. Hey, at least they've got long seven-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranties.

Dodge builds several solid products, like the Dakota pickup, the Durango SUV, the Neon SRT-4 sport sedan, the Ram pickup, and the Viper sports car. Even the aging Grand Caravan minivan has its charms. But we'd skip the Neon and Stratus until replacements for these models arrive in the next couple of years.

Lincoln has lost its luster, and when compared to the renaissance of design, engineering, and quality that is transforming Cadillac, it's hard to think of a single reason for anyone to buy one of these rebadged Ford products. The only Lincoln worth mentioning is the LS, a true sport-luxury sedan not shared with Ford or Mercury and that could have taken on the best cars in the segment with a little more attention to detail. But that car is almost dead, to be replaced by a Mexican-built Ford Fusion with a chrome waterfall grille on the front and a Zephyr nametag on the back. Ugh.

Most of the country will be mild and clear on Election Day, though stormy weather could pose problems for voters in the battleground state of Florida.
"Heavy rainfall and strong winds are likely over the state on Tuesday," says AccuWeather meteorologist Alan Reppert. And, he says, thunderstorms could reach severe levels in central and southern parts of the state.
Much of South Carolina, along with southern Alabama and Georgia, also will see rain.
"People heading to the polls in Charleston and Columbia, S.C., Savannah, Ga., and Jacksonville, Fla., will have to brave the heaviest of the rains," AccuWeather meteorologist Meghan Evans said.
This same storm will turn into a nor'easter for the mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Wednesday and Thursday, not good news for places recovering from Sandy's devastation, Reppert said. Rain, wind and coastal flooding are likely from Delaware to New England, including hard-hit New Jersey.
While the coast deals with rain, the mountains of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and New England will see snow. Although fierce, the storm will be more of a "typical nor'easter," Reppert reported.
Elsewhere on Election Day, light rain and snow are forecast to develop over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley and the upper Great Lakes. Snow showers are possible in northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but Reppert said "there shouldn't be any major accumulations."
Light rain also is likely in western portions of Washington state and Oregon on Tuesday, as a storm approaches the Pacific Northwest.
How does weather affect elections? A study conducted by political scientists in 2007 verified the old American political adage that Republicans should pray for rain on presidential election days. The researchers found that for every one inch increase in rain above its Election Day normal, the Republican presidential candidate received approximately an extra 2.5% of the vote.
"Our evidence supports the claim that bad weather lowers voter turnout," the authors wrote in the study, which was published in the Journal of Politics. "Bad weather (rain and snow) significantly decreases the level of voter turnout within a county … and poor weather conditions are positively related to Republican Party vote share in presidential elections."
In Florida on Tuesday, more than an inch of rain is forecast in some parts of the state. A typical early November day in Jacksonville, for example, sees less than a 10th of an inch.
The study was conducted by political scientists Brad Gomez, of the University of Georgia; Thomas Hansford, of the University of California-Merced; and George Krause, of the University of Pittsburgh.
"In political science, it's known that Democrats bear higher costs for voting than Republicans," Krause said. "And there is a greater cost to voting during inclement weather, which disproportionately affects people who are more likely to vote for Democrats."
Whether rain or snow, precipitation was the major weather issue that kept voters away, as the authors found that "cold temperatures do not significantly decrease voter turnout."
