The Management Technology Center (MTC) provides computer equipment and software for use by the students of the Freeman School. The MTC in Room 201 is equipped with 50 workstations. All of the computers are networked, providing access to the Freeman School's internal Windows network, Tulane systems, and the Internet. High-speed Hewlett-Packard Laserjet printers provide high-quality output for all lab machines.
Regular, holiday, and special hours of operation are posted in the labs and on the Freeman website.
Access to the MTC is restricted to currently-enrolled students of the Freeman School. The magnetic card reader is programmed to admit students holding ID cards from the lab's opening time until 15 minutes before the posted closing time. Keep your card with you, and do not give your card to roommates, significant others, etc. The MTC is a limited resource; if you make it available to everyone you know, it may not be available for you when you need it.
Access to the computers in labs is limited to currently-enrolled students of the Freeman School by use of network login names and passwords. You are responsible for your network account. Please do not give your login name and password to anyone.
Printing is accounted for by login name. You are responsible for all pages printed using your network account. Remember to logout of the system when you leave the computer. If the computer is unattended while you are logged in, anyone can use your account to print.
Use of the MTC is restricted to posted hours. Hours may vary during university holidays, between semesters, and summer. Please leave promptly at closing time; no one is permitted to remain after closing time. Since the computer labs have alarm systems, campus security will be summoned if anyone is in the labs during closed times.
You are responsible for your personal items. Items left in the MTC will be placed on the Student Consultant's desk and then brought to lost-and-found in Room 411, G/W I, the next business day. Please be sure you leave with everything that you arrived with.
Please restrict your use of cell phones to outside of the lab. Talking on cell phones is disruptive to students at workstations around you.
The MTC has all software that is required to complete class assignments. Special data files may be available on the network; your instructor will tell you where the files reside.
You must provide your own storage media and headphones. Information Systems staff do not have external media to sell or loan. External storage such as USB drives are available for purchase in the bookstore at the Lavin-Bernick Center.
Please note that in an effort to keep the lab computers operating smoothly we cannot allow personal software to be installed on the machines. Also, to reduce wear and tear on the computers we cannot allow equipment to be connected to the machines in the labs. If you require special software or hardware in order to complete your class assignments, please contact the director of information technology or an IT staff member well in advance of the time that you will need such software or equipment.
Please note that it is a violation of U. S. Federal copyright laws to copy licensed software. Shareware or public domain software will be labeled as such, and is the only software that is allowed to be copied. Please do not copy software or ask for assistance in doing so.
Students from the Freeman School and elsewhere within the university staff the MTC. Student consultants provide basic assistance with the operation of the equipment and supported software packages; they are not present to help with course assignments. Some courses provide teaching assistants to help with course assignments and specialized software packages; please ask your instructor. Due to the large number of software packages used in our labs, technical support may be basic on some of the less popular or specialized packages.
Additional assistance is available from the Tulane Infrastructure Services Help Desk, 862-8888.
The computers in the MTC are available for use on a first-come, first-served basis. There are no exceptions to this policy. The machines are not to be used for game playing, as this restricts use by others who may have school work to do. Students found to be playing games will be asked to leave so that others may use the computers to complete academic assignments.
Each student is provided space (a home directory) for the storage of files on the network. Please note that the storage of excessive amounts of music, movie, and graphics files is prohibited, as these files consume a large amount of disk space because of their size. File storage is reviewed daily, and these types of files will be removed. You should use removable storage such as USB drives for your graphics, music, and movie collections.
Although user data files on the network are backed up, you should copy important documents to external storage as a personal backup.
Complying with campus-wide laser printing policies, there is a per-page charge for laser printed output. This charge is imposed to discourage waste and save resources. Complete information about laser printing charges can be found in the Computing section of the Freeman Web site.
Please discourage wasteful printing by checking your documents carefully, printing only one copy, and printing only when necessary.
The Freeman School uses Tulane's University-wide mail system for both internal and Internet electronic mail. E-mail access is available on all computers in the MTC and electronic classroom. Configuration information is posted in the TechNotes section of the Freeman Information Technology home page, located on the Freeman School's official web site.
You are issued a mail system user account and password. Your Internet address is email@example.com. Mail accounts are provided by Tulane Infrastructure Services; assistance is available from the Tulane Infrastructure Services Help Desk, 862-8888.
Save your work frequently! Save often when you are working on a document, spreadsheet, or any other important work for extended periods of time. Interruptions, mistakes, and power outages can cause your hard work to be lost in a second.
Use external media such as USB flash drives to make backup copies of your work. Save very important work to several drives.
Plan ahead! The MTC gets very busy at mid-term and before final exams. Complete your assignments as soon as possible. Check your account balance for printing before weekends. If you use all of your laser account pages during a weekend, you will have to wait until Monday to purchase additional pages.
The Information Systems support staff is ready to help you with your pre-purchase computer questions. Advice on buying new systems or upgrading older ones is available at any time.
Students can take advantage of educational discounts on popular software packages through the university's software purchase program. See the Software page in the Technology Services section of the university's main web site.
All MTC computers are equipped with virus-protection software. It is a good idea to scan your disks regularly whether or not you suspect a virus. If you have any questions about computer viruses you can consult one of the many online information services or ask a member of the information systems support staff.
Tulane has a site license agreement for the TrendMicro virus protection software, making the product available to students, faculty, and staff. Details are on the Freeman Information Technology home page.
Access to the Freeman network will remain available for your use as long as you are a registered student in the business school. Accounts are removed from the system and are no longer available for use:
- After you graduate and are not registered in any further classes, or
- Upon your leaving the school before graduating.
Each summer, after spring commencement, accounts of graduated students are suspended on June 1. Accounts are removed from the system on July 1 (including all associated files in network storage).
Each spring, after fall commencement, accounts of graduated students are suspended on January 2. Accounts are removed from the system on February 15 (including all associated files in network storage).
Student email remains valid for life after the student completes 12 hours of coursework during 2009 or later. Students do not need to do anything to keep the account active.

Lou Reed, the punk-poet of rock n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the 1960s cult band Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, has died.
Reed's literary agent Andrew Wylie says the legendary musician died Sunday morning in Southampton at age 71 of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant.
Reed never approached the commercial success of such contemporaries as the Beatles and Bob Dylan, but no songwriter to emerge after Dylan so radically expanded the territory of rock lyrics. And no band did more than the Velvet Underground to open rock music to the avant-garde - to experimental theater, art, literature and film, to William Burroughs and Kurt Weill, to John Cage and Andy Warhol, Reed's early patron and longtime inspiration.

Augusta, Ga--A six run fifth inning led to Augusta's downfall as they lose to Savannah 10-2 in the playoff opener of the best of three series.
The Sand Gnats grabbed the early lead in the third on an RBI single by Maiki De La Cruz and then broke things open in the fifth. Martin Agosta couldn't find the strike zone and walked a couple that set the table. Then it was De La Cruz with an RBI signle making it 3-0. Stefan Sabol with the big blow a bases loaded double that made it 6-0 Savannah.
On the mound, Gabriel Ynoa was outstanding surrendering just two hits through the first six innings. The GreenJackets finally got on the board n the seventh with a Chuckie Jones infield single. They would add one more in the eight.
Savannah takes the early one game to none lead in the best of three series as the scene switches to Savannah for game two Friday night.

Going Viral (2) - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins at the press meet where Kate tells informs the crowd that the terrorist is infected and is out there infecting more and more people; and she faints. Megan calls for an ambulance. And they inject her with a medicine. After the injection, Kate is stable. Stafford tells Megan that anyone having fever or cough needs to be quarantined; starting with Kate. Johnson is briefing his team about the breakout. He maps out the six possible places where the terrorist crosses paths with the victims. This could be done as the team has tracked down the places the existing victims had been to before they got infected. But there are 10 victims whose information can't be traced.
Stafford and Megan are talking to the med team and what to know what ever little information or thought they have about the infection. Next, Megan has kept few of the victim's brains in glass jars and asks Stafford to see what he could figure out. It looks like the COD is hemorrhage. They are discussing all the stages of internal bleeding and then the final stage, and not more than 72 hours between the first symptom and the last. Kate is kept in the ward with the other victims and she is petrified. Johnson is irritated about the fact that despite having around 100 bodies in the morgue; the team is unable to identify the cause of the infection. Megan tells him that finding the microbe is like finding a drop of water in the Atlantic.
Johnson tells her that it is possible that the terrorist could also be one of the victims that are admitted as he was the first to get infected. Good thinking! The terrorist could be one from the 10 outliers; out of which 7 are dead and 3 are in isolation. And that list has Dani! Meanwhile, Peter is at Dani's apartment. He makes notes of some of the things he finds around. Meanwhile, in the ward, Kate tries to reassure a terrified mother and daughter. But Trevino knows that they are going to die. He is a creep! He says he wants a glass of bourbon; his last drink! A reporter is chasing Peter for answers outside Dani's apartment. She tells him that people are frightened. And he is honest about not having any answers. At the lab, Ethan informs the team that the syringes found in that isolated building showed traces of the big 3-heroin, cocaine and meth.
But there was this one syringe that has been wiped clean of prints. Not junkie etiquette. Megan goes to visit Kate in the ward. Kate wants to know about the timeline of this infection-72 hours. Is that for her as well? But she also points out that Trevino had collapsed during the interrogation 4 days ago; then how come he is alive? They run a check on Trevino. Johnson thinks that Trevino is alive because he could be the terrorist. Johnson says that e would have figured out a way to stay alive so that he could infect more people and also that he lied about the places he had been to. Megan thinks that one of the 17 drugs Trevino is taking might be slowing down the inevitable; and they need to find which one. Ethan updates Meagan and Stafford about the tests done on the syringes and he says that they found Interferon-a drug which Trevino too is on.
Stafford thinks that Trevino could be the terrorist. Meanwhile, Peter leaves a voice message for Dani's mom. Megan tells Peter that he needs to box up whatever he is feeling and get to work, as the city is suffering. Peter snaps at her and says that it is possible that one could do things differently. She tells him that she can't do it without him. Meanwhile, Bud plays the call from the terrorist. He is calling after hearing Peter call the terrorist a coward on TV. They trace the call to the bar near the hospital. Sam tells Johnson that she thinks that their department thinks that Trevino is their guy. Trevino is not on his bed. They go to the bar. Trevino isn't there but they find blood on the phone from which the call was made.
At the hospital, Trevino is seen sitting on the ground next to his bed, terrified and crying; telling Kate that he doesn't want to die alone. Megan and Stafford are comparing the found blood sample with Trevino's and they aren't the same. But both of them are on Interferon, only that the killer is taking stronger dozes. Seems that the killer is taking it to stay alive longer, so that he could infect more people. Stafford enlarges the blood samples and from that he identifies the nastiest virus ever found-Ebola. Next, at a meet, Stafford educates the team saying that it is Marburg and not Ebola; which is good news; also its very rare as there only few places on the planet where this string could come from. But the bad news is that there is no cure. Stafford tells Bud and Sam to identify why the terrorist is thriving where he is and what could be the common link.
Stafford tells Megan that they need to find the guy and Megan thinks that he should be trying some experimental vaccine. Curtis visits Kate and she is scared as she is showing all the symptoms. She is scared that she is going to die alone. Megan and Stafford go to get a human trial. They go to the ward. Megan decides on Kate but Stafford chooses Trevino as he is a better subject. And it turns out the Stafford made a wiser choice-Trevino responds negatively and dies! Stafford is feeling terrible. Kate realizes that Megan is a truly good friend. Megan is testing Trevino's liver and Peter walks in. he has found out every place Dani has been to in the past 72 hours and in that one hour is not accounted for and he feels that Trevino had actually seen Dani somewhere; and that it wasn't just a pick up line when he told her so. He checks Trevino's timeline.
And Peter figures out that all this transfer happened in a bus. The only place that people have to touch at the entry and exit points; and it is crowded. They check the security footage of the particular bus Trevino was on. And they see 8 out of their 10 outliers. And they find the first passenger who touched the handrail- the terrorist; Jacob and he has a degree in bio-chemistry and is working on his study on population. It seems that he is an intern at one of WHO's facilities which stores the strands of Ebola and Marburg. Johnson tells the team that Jacob hasn't retraced any of his previous clusters, so this time it would be a new place or location or medium.
Meagan and Curtis tell them that 2 of the outliers had a common thing-bed bug bite. None of the other outliers had anything in common. Last, the two outliers were at a motel. And Johnson thinks that Jacob too could be at the same motel. They enter the terrorist's rooms. The manager tells them that he was sick when he entered and they confirm their doubts. But since he is sicker now, he cannot get too far; and they realize that he is headed to the subway, where again the people touch the handrail. They set off. They find him. He asks them to shoot him so that he could splatter his blood all over. Peter shoots him in his head. At the office, Stafford tells Johnson and Megan that he is fired for stealing a vaccine and then also killing a patient with it. But something strikes Megan. Megan tells him that
Trevino already had damaged liver due to alcoholism and it wasn't the vaccine that killed him but the bourbon he was drinking as his last wish! And that Stafford' vaccine could still work! This time they try it on Kate. And she responds positively to the vaccine. Welcome back Doc! Meanwhile, Dani's mother comes to see her dead daughter and Peter. Kate thanks Stafford and also tells him that since he has lost his lab, he could use the sub basement that is unused. She tells him that till the time he gets a job, he could use the free space and the team could get some free lab work. He accepts the offer! The city is healing. Lacey and Megan watch the news…relieved. She tells Megan that Aiden called and she told him that her mom was out; saving the city and she really did. The episode ends.

- Douglas County school voucher supporters eye bigger legal fight
A Denver judge's school-voucher decision Friday brought confusion, stress and distress for parents, students and administrators of both public and private schools across Douglas County as they tried Monday to sort out the impact of the court-ordered halt to the program.
Hundreds of parents called the Douglas County School District on Monday, wondering what to do next, spokesman Randy Barber said.
Denver District Judge Michael Martinez issued a permanent injunction Friday, stopping Douglas County schools from implementing the voucher program its board approved in March.
Monday, just about the only certainty was that Martinez's ruling would be appealed.
"We, and when I say we, I mean the three families we represent, will be appealing," said Michael Bindas of the Institute for Justice.
Bindas said institute attorneys are considering asking the state Supreme Court to hear the case directly, bypassing the appeals court.
The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups sued to stop the program. Unless the injunction is overturned, the ACLU says, there is no need for the broader suit challenging the constitutionality of the program.
Of the 500 students who planned to participate in what the district calls its Choice Scholarship Program, preliminary payments had been mailed for 265 of them, totaling about $300,000, Barber said. The district intended to make quarterly payments to parents toward private-school tuition, he said.
But whether that money will have to be returned to the district, or to the state, is an unanswered question, Barber said.
"It's something our lawyers are looking at" and should decide later this week, Barber said. "We know families are waiting for this information."
A single sentence in the 68-page ruling has left attorneys and district officials scratching their heads: "Plaintiffs have expressly not asked the Court to direct the disenrollment of scholarship recipients already attending Private Partner Schools or the return of funds already expended."
Beyond that, the judge offered no direction regarding what happens to the money already allocated.
"This has been very difficult for us and very devastating for the kids," said Terry Martin, academic director for Woodlands Academy in Castle Rock, one of the 23 private schools approved to participate in the voucher program.
When Martin walked into Woodlands on Monday morning, there were two anxious moms — one in tears — waiting for her and wondering where they were going to send their children to school, she said.
Tiny Woodlands Academy, which is dedicated to very small class sizes, expected to have 31 students this year — 12 of whom were transferring in thanks to Douglas County's voucher program. Woodlands has hired two additional teachers, and, with parents' donations of time and money, built two new classrooms, Martin said.
Martin said several parents have offered help with scholarships for families that can't pay the $7,000-a-year tuition without vouchers.
Woodlands still has more than a week before classes begin, but students who must return to Douglas County schools will get a late start on an academic year that, at many schools, began Aug. 1.
What's more, any student who gave up a spot in a charter school to participate in the voucher program may have trouble reclaiming that seat, as many have waiting lists.
The Colorado Department of Education, which distributes money to school districts based on enrollment, has not weighed in on the money matter, spokeswoman Janelle Asmus said.

Clinic Evaluation Project: After the Roe v. Wade
decision of 1973 legalized abortion, it became obvious that
an evaluation of abortion providers was desperately needed.
HERS organized the Abortion Clinic Evaluation Project to help
women find decent and humane abortion services and help expose
abortion providers who were doing a poor job.
Groups: With colorful names like Little Porcupines and Sojourner
Truth, these cooperative childcare groups helped CWLU mothers
to remain active in the organization.
to End Sterilization Abuse: Sterilization of women for "population
control" or for unnecessary "medical" reasons
was a serious problem that the Committee to End Sterilization
Abuse(CESA), tried to address. Started with the help of several
prominent Hispanic organizations, CESA was able to reach out
beyond the CWLU's traditionally largely white membership.
Women's Labor History Group: The Chicago Women's Labor History
Group originally came together as part of a Liberation School
class. They produced a slide show of Chicago women's labor history.
Women's Studies: An outgrowth of the CWLU affiliated
Circle Women's Union (UIC was then known as the University of
Illinois-Circle Campus), the UIC Women's Studies Program is
still going strong.

The Conditions of Unconditional Love
I suspect that if hunger, thirst, and fatigue were perfectly mixed, I could be on fire and one of my kids might still ask me for milk. "I can't do that right now, I'm on fire." "But I want milk! Pleeeeasssse?" "Ok, Ok, I'll get the milk and THEN extinguish myself."
It makes no sense, but it's the only way our species can survive. It's as if my love for them was soldered onto my brain like hunger and fatigue. "Did you just try to poke my eye out? Come back here and give me a giant hug." The fact that they're cute definitely has something to do with it, but I know they might only be cute to me.

Bad Dog Food Ingredients – WORST DOG FOOD EXPLAINED – Dangerous Dog Food Ingredients
Reduce dog allergies, arthritis in dogs, chronic gastrointestinal problems in dogs, chronic skin/ear issues, and extend your dog's life, just by avoiding the ingredients listed below.
- You'll see this on most dog food bags: "Our pet foods are made following AAFCO guidelines and must pass stringent testing." This disclaimer really doesn't mean the food is healthy. Buyer beware . . . you may be buying a pet food advertised as being a nutritionally adequate diet for all dogs because it passed "stringent" AAFCO testing … when only six to eight dogs ate that food for 6 months and survived with no more than an "acceptable" 15% loss of body weight. READ THE DISCLAIMER HERE.
- Did you know that Dangerous Dog Food Ingredients that Cause Diseases, Illnesses, Allergies and Death are legally allowed, approved and added to our companion animals food by government agencies that monitor our pet food industry?
BEEF AND BONE MEAL – (protein source):
A byproduct made from beef parts which are not suitable for human consumption.It can incorporate the entire cow, including the bones, but the quality cuts of meat are always removed.
This is an inexpensive, low quality ingredient used to boost the protein percentage.
MEAT BY-PRODUCT – (protein source):
Pet grade meat by-products consist of organs and parts either not desired, or condemned, for human consumption.This can include bones, blood, intestines, lungs, ligaments, heads, feet, and feathers. – This can also include the dreaded 4 D's – ( Dead, dying, diseased or dying prior to slaugther).
The animal parts used can be obtained from any source, so there is no control over quality or contamination.
Any kind of animal can be included: goats, pigs, horses, rats, misc. roadkill, animals euthanized at shelters and so on. It can also include pus, cancerous tissue, and decomposed (spoiled) tissue.
– (protein source):
The animal parts used can be obtained from any source, so there is no control over quality or contamination.
Any kind of animal can be included: "4-D animals" (dead, diseased, disabled, or dying prior to slaughter), goats, pigs, horses, rats, misc. roadkill, animals euthanized at shelters and so on.
It can also include pus, cancerous tissue, and decomposed (spoiled) tissue.
– (fat source):
Used to make lower quality dog foods palatable, instead of using quality fat sources such as nutritionally rich chicken fat, or human grade vegetable oil.
– (fat source):
Animal fat is a "generic" fat source that is most often made up of rendered animal fat, restaurant grease, or other oils too rancid or deemed inedible for humans.
Look for a named fat source, such as poultry or chicken fat, that is naturally preserved.
– (filler/fibre source/vegetable):
Mycotoxins are deadly molds, prone to grow on many common pet food ingredients, most commonly corn…. Read about Mycotoxins here.
This has caused previous dog food recalls and many deaths in the past.
Now there are smaller amounts of mycotoxins which are allowed to contaminate your dog's food.
Regarding this: "The day to day consumption of small amounts of mycotoxins; resulting in "chronic diseases such as liver and kidney fibrosis, infections resulting from immnosuppression and cancer." (From the International Journal of Food Microbiology, Drs. Herman J. Boermans and Maxwell C.K. Leung published the report "Mycotoxins and the pet food industry – Toxicological evidence and risk assessment" in 2007.)
*NOTE: no redeemable nutritious value in any dog food listing corn as their first ingredient.
Simply avoid all dog food brands that have corn as the main ingredient. (Some companies are fighting back by claiming corn is just as good as meat for the main energy (protein) source) ???? Just remember corn is used cause it is cheap, which in turn increases the big companies profits.
It is a useless filler that is a known cause of allergies and is difficult for dogs to digest.
– (Binder):
This is the remainder of the corn after the best parts of the corn have been removed.It does absolutely nothing for the animal and actually is difficult to digest and is used as a cheap binder.
– (fibre source):
Wheat is the leading cause of dog allergies.
Absolutely useless with no nutritional value whatsoever.This is the fine particles of wheat bran, wheat germ, and the offal from the "tail of the mill."
"Tail of the mill" means the floor sweepings of leftovers in the mill after everything has been processed from the wheat.
– (filler/fibre source/carbohydrate source):
Low cost by-products and left overs from another food manufacturing process.
Examples include WHEAT MIDDLINGS AND SHORTS, (Floor sweepings), WHEAT GERM MEAL, WHEAT BRAN and BREWER'S RICE (a waste product of the alcohol industry).Also look for and avoid fragments which are labelled POTATO PRODUCT, MIDDLINGS/MIDS or MILL RUN of any kind.Unspecified grain sources like :CEREAL FOOD FINES, CORN BRAN, OAT HULLS, RICE HULLS, PEANUT HULLS, DISTILLERS GRAIN FERMENTATION SOLUBLES, and last but not least CELLULOSE (which is wood which is dried and ground up)
*NOTE: These ingredients listed above are all ALLOWED AS ACCEPTABLE INGREDIENTS IN THE AAFCO GUIDELINES!!!!!!
– (filler/carbohydrate):
Another cheap allergy causing ingredient used as a filler. This is the leftover "dust" after the healthy cleaned and dehulled soybeans are processed. Sometimes sweepings from the factory floor.
– (carbohydrate source):
A cheap substitute for whole grain rice.
– (flavour source) :
Also listed as Cane molasses , corn syrup in any form, sugar, sorbitol, sucrose, fructose, glucose, ammoniated glycyrhizin, propylene glycol.) :
Useless, unnecessary and adds empty calories. Bad ingredients used by companies to make food more palatable to the animals if the ingredients themselves aren't enough to make the dog or cat actually want to eat it.
Used to cover up rotten and rancid foods, and is known to cause hypoglycemia, obesity, nervousness, cataracts, tooth decay, arthritis and allergies.
– (flavouring agent):
Unspecified parts of unspecified animals, cooked down into a goopy broth (rendered) and used as a spray on or added directly to the food.
The grease that rises to the top is used as a source of fat and the rest of the mash is dried and used as "meat meal".
No quality control is used and this can include "4-D animals" (dead, diseased, disabled, or dying prior to slaughter), goats, pigs, horses, rats, misc. roadkill, animals euthanized at shelters, restaurant and supermarket refuse and so on.
ABOUT THE RENDERING PROCESS: All these undesirable ingredients & by products are "denatured" before rendering. Denaturing is spraying crude carbolic acid, cresylic disinfectant or citronella on these dregs. ( *NOTE: THESE DENATURING PRODUCTS ARE TOXIC.)
(Blue 2, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Titanium Dioxide):
Any colouring is completely unnecessary and should be avoided. Your dog doesn't care about the pretty coloured shapes, and artifical dyes and colouring agents are known cancer causing agent, and also causes allergies.
Used in "junk dog food".
Used in antifreeze solutions, in hydraulic fluids, and as a solvent.
May be toxic if consumed in large amounts, and should definitely not be an ingredient in a food an animal will eat daily for weeks, months or even years of its life.
This is not allowed for use in Europe as the findings have shown it to be dangerous.
BHA (Butylated Hydroxysanisole), BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene), and ETHOXYQUIN (Preservatives):
Banned from human use in many countries but still permitted in the US.
Possible human carcinogen, apparently carcinogenic in animal experiments.
Ethoxyquin has also been used as a pesticide for fruit.
It has never been proven to be safe for the lifespan of a companion animal.
It has been linked to thyroid, kidney, reproductive and immune related illnesses as well as cancer.
Used in Kibbles n Bits –
I really can't find out why they use it but it is a caustic chemical agent used in the production of chlorides, fertilizers, and dyes.
Hydrochloric acid can cause immediate pain and burns of the mouth, throat, esophagus and gastrointestinal tract.
Simple common sense would indicate not to use this as a pet food ingredient!
This synthetic version of vitamin K has not been specifically approved for long term use, such as in pet food. It has been linked to many serious health issues. If you are not aware of this, it sounds like one of the healthy vitamins, but beware.
- The MSDS guide states :
- "Potential Chronic Health Effects:
- CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: 3 (Not classifiable for humans) by IARC.
- MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells.
- The substance is toxic to kidneys, lungs, liver, mucous membranes.
- Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage."
NOTE: **As a veterinarian, Dr. Andrew Jones has revealed that he was taught very little about dog or cat food at university. He received less than 8 hours of instruction on pet food.
At University the LARGE food companies sponsored events for students, gave presentations on pet food, and awarded scholarships.
Selling Pet Food is a Big Source of income for many veterinarians.
According to Dr. Andrew Jones, "MOST Veterinarians have little knowledge about Pet nutrition, and they have strong FINANCIAL INCENTIVES to NOT change" . Can you see how you should Question their Pet Food recommendation?
Bad Dog Food Ingredients fed on a regular, daily basis for the life of your dog will cause more harm than we previously knew. It is basically like us eating hotdogs daily, with a side of a multi vitamin for the rest of our lives. We all know that is unhealthy.
DOGS ARE CARNIVORES, following the long ancestral history as canids.
Variety and addition of a mixture of healthy food will extend your pet's life.

Census figures show southwest population growth
Friday, February 25, 2011
Missouri's population grew by the greatest amounts in southwest Missouri and the outer suburbs of St. Louis during the past decade while continuing to decline in the city's urban core, according to new U.S. Census Bureau figures released Thursday.
The new 2010 census data will be used to redraw Missouri's congressional and state legislative districts. Missouri is losing one of its nine seats in Congress because its population — which now stands just shy of 6 million residents — grew at a slower pace than the rest of the nation during the past decade.
The data show that southwest Missouri's 7th Congressional District grew by about 100,000 people since the 2000 census, paced by a roughly 43 percent growth rate in Christian County — which amounts to an additional 23,000 people — and a 14 percent growth rate in Greene County that equated to a population growth of nearly 35,000. Greene County is the home of Springfield, and Christian County is located just south of Greene County between Branson and Springfield.
Real estate agents in southwestern Missouri said Thursday that nearby colleges and universities and medical facilities have helped fuel steady growth in the region.
Tammie Tucker, who has been a real estate agent in Springfield since 1989, said the region's growth has helped smaller communities with economic development. Ten years ago, the 2000 census showed that Christian County also was the fastest-growing in the state.
"We're real excited, and we're also seeing growth all through southwestern Missouri," said Tucker, who works for a family-owned real estate company in Springfield.
The 2010 census data was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press in advance of their formal release by the Census Bureau. The figures also show that the state's racial minority population grew. Missouri's Hispanic population increased by 79 percent since 2000, compared to a growth rate of a little over 4 percent for white residents.
However, Hispanics comprise just 3.5 percent of Missouri's population, compared with 83 percent for whites. Blacks remain Missouri's largest racial minority, at 11.6 percent of the total population.
The population grew by about 85,000 in the 2nd Congressional District, which includes part of the outer St. Louis suburbs. The district covers part of St. Charles County, which grew by about 76,600 people — or 27 percent. Nearby Lincoln County grew by more than 13,600 people, a growth rate of 35 percent.
The 1st Congressional District in St. Louis declined by almost 35,000 people, according to the new census figures. The city of St. Louis had a population of 319,294 in 2010, according to the data, down about 8 percent from census figures released 10 years ago.
St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay said the decline was disappointing after officials had anticipated stemming more than 50 years of population loss. Slay said the St. Louis region must reconsider how it operates.
"We are such a fragmented region. We're competing with each other, competing among ourselves on everything from sales tax to jobs to people," Slay said. "We need to start thinking more aggressively about our future and rethinking how we do everything."
On the flip side, Kansas City grew by about 4 percent, or 18,000 people, and had a population of almost 460,000 people in 2010.
The population data allows Missouri lawmakers to begin work on developing the state's new congressional districts. The Republican-led Legislature will be responsible for developing the new districts, and leaders have said every congressional district likely will need to be adjusted.
"Everyone understands the status quo isn't going to be the status quo," said Rep. John Diehl, R-Town and Country, who is the chairman of the House's redistricting committee.

Painting and jewelry show draws from tactile, sumptuous forms
"Sensuality and Spectrum," a show featuring mixed media paintings by Yun Hendricks and beaded and polymer clay jewelry by Jieun Kim will open April 5 at In Your Eye Gallery, 2601 SW 119, Suit B, in the Paseo Arts District.
Opening reception is 6 to 10 p.m., Friday, April 5. The show runs through Sunday, April 28.
Utilizing a palette of bright, vivid hues, and creamy light neutrals, Yun Hendricks' subjects are both figurative and abstract. With the former, Hendricks incorporates bits of brightly colored fabric. Her abstract paintings possess a landscape quality (many echoing her native Korea) in which lines and shapes emerge and then blend.
"In my abstract pieces, lines and forms lose definition, but still convey a visually sumptuous landscape," she said.
Three-dimensional artist Jieun Kim creates jewelry both dramatic and fanciful using materials of colored polymer clay or iridescent beads. Kim composes earrings and necklaces of rounded organic forms in colors suggestive of earth and sky. Kim also embellishes functional items such as crystal wine goblets and stoneware coffee mugs.

Who Is Behind Arizona's Marriage Amendment?
Jim Burroway
August 6th, 2008
This woman: Cathi Herrod, president of the Center for Arizona Policy. CAP is an official state policy council of Colorado Springs-based Focus On the Family.
This is the lobbyist who Arizona Senate President Timothy Bee (R-Tucson) denounced from the Senate dias — just before he crumpling himself under the pressure and casting the deciding 16th vote to put yet another anti-marriage amendment before the voters. Arizonans already said no to a previous attempt in 2006. Herrod didn't like that answer, so she's trying again for 2008.
Here's shorter video featuring Cathi Herrod. Notice the message discipline. You can help to defeat Arizona's Prop 102 here.

by Frank James
What was it that Gen. Douglas MacArthur said about old soldiers not dying but merely fading away? It's safe to guess that Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign would like Gen. Wesley Clark (ret.) to fade away right about now.
Clark was on Good Morning America today trying to neutralize controversial comments he made Sunday that seemed to dismiss Sen. John McCain's military experience as irrelevant to the all-but-official Republican presidential nominee's quest for the White House.
It didn't help that Clark, during his Face the Nation appearance, seemed to trivialize McCain's having been shot down and imprisoned as a POW during the Vietnam War.
Clark essentially said that as a fellow veteran, he honored McCain's service but still didn't think McCain's military record demonstrated that the senator from Arizona had the necessary judgment to be president:
John McCain as a young officer demonstrated courage and character. But the service as president is about judgment. And the experience he had as a fighter pilot isn't the same as having been at the highest levels of the military and having to make, work with the president and other heads of state and make those kinds of life-or-death decisions about national strategic issues.
Far be it for me, a guy with only a little ROTC experience to his name, to quibble with the argument of a man who was a West Point stand out and rose to become NATO's Supreme Commander but Clark's argument doesn't make sense for a few reasons.
One, being president isn't just about judgment. It's also about courage and character, the kinds of qualities Clark himself admits the young naval officer McCain possessed. Most Americans would probably agree that presidents need those qualities. So that's a strange stance to take.
It seems like it was a logical problem Clark realized because later in the interview he somewhat reversed himself and said this:
I simply say it's a matter of judgment. Experience? Yes, it's important, it shows character and courage. But on the other hand, there are other ways to show character and courage than by having been in the armed forces.
Here's the other problem for Obama with Clark's approach. By continuing to raise questions about the value of McCain's military experience to the job of being commander-in-chief, Clark is causing observers to ask, as GMA's Robin Roberts, about Obama's lack of military service.
That's a no-win for the Obama campaign because it draws attention to the glaring weakness on Obama's resume, his lack of significant national-security experience. It's as though Clark shot up a flare meant to illuminate a breach in the enemy line which drifted and inadvertently illuminated the hole in his own.
This is one where Clark just might want to declare victory and retreat.
Here's a transcript of the interview.
WC: Thanks Dianne for giving me a chance to make sure Americans understand that as a retired serviceman, someone who came home from Vietnam on a stretcher someone who spent 38 years in uniform someone who's worked his way up through the ranks of the U.S. Armed Forces,
I would never discredit anyone who chose to wear the uniform. I fully respect John Mccain and his service and I said so repeatedly. My point is there's a difference in preparing yourself for the highest office in the land depending on which levels you served at in the armed forces.
John McCain as a young officer demonstrated courage and character. But the service as president is about judgment. And the experience he had as a fighter pilot isn't the same as having been at the highest levels of the military and having to make, work with the president and other heads of state and make those kinds of life-or-death decisions about national strategic issues.
RR: We'll go on with that. First I wanted to let you know you're talking to Robin. Dianne and I look and sound very much alike,
Someone off camera: Separated at birth
RR: Separated at birth,
WC: Oh, I'm so sorry.
RR: But I just wanted to make sure. Minor, minor. I understand what you're saying general. But someone who's had the experience that Sen. McCain has had, if you're commander-in-chief and you're sending soldiers into war, having that kind of experience, isn't it better than having no experience at all in the military?
WC: i think it depends on how you use that experience and what you're judgment is. And so what I've seen is that and I'm supporting Barack Obama as I've said because I think he has shown superior judgment.
I don't want to get into a critique here on John McCain's judgment but what I do want to say is I think it's a matter of judgment. If you've learned from the experience and your judgment is proved out, that's well and good.
But if you've had the experience and your judgment still doesn't give you the best decisions for national security.. and so my point is i hope the American people will discriminate between someone's early experiences and the kind of judgment they've taken away from those experiences.
RR: Want to play for you, as you can imagine, Sen. McCain was quick to respond and this is what he said yesterday:
McCain on tape: i f that's the kind of campaign Sen. Obama and his campaign and his surrogates want to engage in, I understand that. But it doesn't reduce the price of a gallon of gas by one penny
WC: Robin. I want to say first Sen. Obama had nothing to do with this. These are comments I was asked about several months ago in terms of me as a retired military officer assessing John McCain's qualifications. And so i was on the Sunday interview show. The interviewer brought it up and actually asked me the question. He's the one who stated 'he climbed into an airplane and got shot down.' All i did was directly respond to it.
So I'm very sorry this has distracted from the message of patriotism that Sen. Obama wants to put out. But i want to make very clear as a Democrat and a former army officer I fully respect Sen. McCain and all others who've served. And especially now on this Fourth of July. I think this country has achieved this independence because men as well as women were willing to sacrifice for it. And i honor every one of our veterans and those who are in service today.
RR: General, you have been thought to be on the short list to be Sen. Obama's running mate. Do you feel that you still deserve to be on that list? Do you think the comment has...
WC: I don't know anything about it. All i know is that I served 38 years in uniform. I'm proud of my service and I was asked to give my opinion about professional qualifications based on my experience. i've served at both levels. I was a junior officer. I did come back from Vietnam on a stretcher. And I worked as a commander at the highest levels. I worked with heads of state, heads of government and with heads of armed forces in the Balkan and Kosovo campaigns. So i have some appreciation for both levels of command and the qualities it takes at the top. I simply say it's a matter of judgment. Experience? Yes, it's important, it shows character and courage. But on the other hand, there are other ways to show character and courage then by having been in the armed forces.
So i think what the American people really want in a president is a man with good judgment, or a woman with good judgment.

Really Ben?Brilliant.Are you sure about that?Seems like just another poorly branded generic travel site.God knows there are enough of them.
I thought it was really funny too (but please don't yell at me for saying so. I'm too sensitive…)
The 30 sec – You'd never get away with describing a plump woman as a "5" and then a slimmer/more toned woman an "11". Sexist, dumb, weird, poorly casted, and just a bad idea.
The one minute – clever, funny, seemed relatively original and memorable.
Can we have a moratorium on using the term "epic", please?
These ads are great. They're entertaining and they do a good job of highlighting features people get excited about at hotels. No need to take them so seriously @Bill or @Bear – Booking.com don't seem to.
FYI Bear, the 60 seconder, which you do credit as clever,funny, was co-created by a talented Melbourne woman, now working with WK Amsterdam. Well done Kia.
"Seems like just another poorly branded generic travel site"…. Couldn't be more wrong on both counts. Booking.com is HUGE and the people behind are very very smart.
The brand was built over many years online and is now going with TV in most major markets.
Really working for them here in Oz as they have usurped wotif.com as most popular in terms of visits, according to Hitwise.
Ok, here' something to consider: if the genders in the first ad were reversed, wouldn't that be considered sexist?
So if a below average overweight woman jumped into a pool and came out hot and sexy no one would say anything bad?
Welcome to the world of double standards for sexism…
Of course its sexist. I would have had a slightly happier evening with it not being shoved under my nose like a smelly turd on youtube.
Also, yes, sexism against men is just as wrong as sexism against women. Yes, I care. I came here right after seeing to it make a comment to the effect of 'Damn, this is sexist!'
Kindly stop assuming otherwise by complaining about double standards and automatically assuming 'no one would say anything bad'. Especially with this advert, which somehow manages to be demeaning to everyone.

BP chief apologizes for "I'd like my life back" comment
posted 6/3/2010 9:01:36 AM |
what's this?
report abuse
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Under-fire BP chief executive Tony Hayward issued an apology Wednesday for saying in an interview that he would "like my life back," as a massive oil spill wreaks devastation along the Gulf coast.
"I made a hurtful and thoughtless comment on Sunday when I said that 'I wanted my life back,'" Hayward said in a post to BP America's Facebook page.
"When I read that recently, I was appalled. I apologize, especially to the families of the 11 men who lost their lives in this tragic accident," he said.
Eleven rig workers aboard the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon drilling platform were killed when it exploded on April 20, sinking two days later into the Gulf of Mexico. Since then, according to government estimates, at least 20 million gallons have leaked into the waters.
Despite BP's efforts to cap the flow, thick crude continues to ooze into the Gulf of Mexico's fragile wetlands and once-pristine tourist beaches, killing wildlife and their habitats and destroying the local fishing and tourism-based economy.
"Those words don't represent how I feel about this tragedy, and certainly don't represent the hearts of the people of BP -- many of whom live and work in the Gulf -- who are doing everything they can to make things right," Hayward said in the post.
"My first priority is doing all we can to restore the lives of the people of the Gulf region and their families -- to restore their lives, not mine."
In an interview with NBC on Sunday, Hayward had begun to offer an apology to Gulf residents "for the massive disruption it's caused to their lives."
He continued: "There's no one who wants this thing over more than I do, I'd like my life back."
The environmental disaster -- the worst in US history -- has badly damaged BP's reputation, with its shares sliding 2.13 percent Wednesday a day after plunging 13 percent, wiping 17.6 billion dollars off its market value.
He really should have picked his words better than he did in this interview. But with all the stress him and others are dealing with from this crises, I'm not going to fault him, especially since he apologized for the stupid remark. 11 workers did lose their lives afterall...

"I'd like my life back"
I heard some sea birds, fish, other oceanic wildlife, shrimpers, fisherman, and some dead guys on the rig say the same thing.
What a dumb ass, dick. It really is amazing what some "C"s in the G2K can spout off with.
Jun 3 @ 9:56AM
The oil spill is an awful disaster that is going to have a major impact on the Gulf for years to come. All are under stress right now, and are bound to say something totally stupid and uncaring. Was he wrong? Yes. He really should have chosen his words carefully. Is his apology sincere? I hope so.
Jun 3 @ 4:12PM
On the bright side, the LAMEstream media has not blamed Bush too much for this one.
Although, after 45 days, you'd think Obama would put a fire under someones arse to get the flow slowed... At least he ain't 'bowed' to BP (much).
From the kinfolk I've heard, many that live on the Louisiana coast would like to fire Obama.
Jun 3 @ 4:23PM
you'd think Obama would put a fire under someones arse to get the flow slowed...
Now what is federal government able to do, regardless of which party was in office? Let me explain with an example.
When the war with Iraq broke out and Saddam was getting his ass kicked, he torched all of the Iraqi oil wells. The military and the US government did not have the expertise to deal with this, but the private sector did. The civilian contractors took care of business and solved the problem.
The contractor that got the job done, and done well, Halliburton. Yes, the very same Halliburton that along with BP and Transocean make up the three companies involved in this mess that are pointing fingers at each other.
Jun 3 @ 5:32PM
Wants his life back? I am all for throwing the CEO of all three companies in the middle of that oil slick and see how they like the mess they made.

The tumor would not have changed her outward appearance, and researchers can't tell for certain what affect it had on her, Armentano explained.
"We suppose that, at least during a long part of her life, she was completely unaware of this tumor. Depending on the eventual complications, she could have suffered, but there" is no evidence of this, writes Armentano. "She could have died because of many other causes!"
Despite that uncertainty, historical records do indicate that this woman lived in a time period of great change. King's College London Professor Peter Heather notes in his book "The Fall of the Roman Empire" (Oxford University Press, 2006) that, by A.D. 411, Spain had been divided between groups known as the Vandals, Suevi and Alans.
The ancient writer Hydatius wrote that the "Spaniards in the cities and forts who had survived the disasters surrendered themselves to servitude under the barbarians, who held sway throughout the provinces."

We may underestimate the popularity of Vimeo, the high end video social network with high bitrate, resolution, and relative HD support. Because users from White House to Britney Spears are using Vimeo as their high-definition video broadcast platform. You probably will fall in love with Vimeo deadly after using it. Here we're dealing with another popular issue for Vimeo. That is, when you would like to enjoy or share Vimeo videos on iPod or any digital devices, how to convert Vimeo videos to MP3, MP4, AVI, MOV or any video formats you want?
Whatever how you like to convert Vimeo, we have another step to get ready. You have to download videos from Vimeo, and the recommended tool for this is Vimeo Downloader. Simply get those Vimeo videos downloaded ready for the video conversion.
Vimeo Converter, the well-designed application optimzed for Vimeo specially can easily convert videos to MP3, MP4 for iPod, iPhone as you want.
The reason for recommendation is its integration with Vimeo Downloader, and its professional conversion profiles adapted for specified devices. For example, there are may MPEG-4 encoded videos for iPhon in different definition and sizes.

- The Artist
Pioneering Surrealist Rene Magritte (1898 – 1967) masterfully mixed wit with illusion. Initially designing wallpaper, posters and advertisements, Magritte utimately received a gallery contract that enabled him to paint full time. He surmounted early, scathing criticism of his work eventually winning over critics and profoundly impacting the art world. Magritte often blocked a subject's face with a suspended object to challenge human assumptions about the unknown, and placed ordinary objects in unusual contexts to give new meaning to familiar things. Magritte's work experienced a resurgence in popularity during the 1960s, remaining enigmatic, thought-provoking and highly influential.

Obviously not a surprise, but now it's official: Nick Swisher and Rafael Soriano have both turned down their qualifying offer from the Yankees, and will remain free agents. The Yankees are not expected to make an attempt to keep either player on a multi-year contract, but they will receive a supplemental first round draft pick for each if/when they sign with another team.
The Yankees are also waiting for Hiroki Kuroda's decision on his offer. That's not such a foregone conclusion as the other two, but the Yankees expect Kuroda to reject his offer as well.
