Croatia Airlines flights to Osijek are unlikely in the near future. Croatia's national flag carrier recently confirmed that it is highly unlikely it will continue with its proposed flights to Osijek from Zagreb.
The airline in a statement said it currently isn't planning to operate flights to Osijek and is still to arrive at a final decision.
The airline has made known its intention despite the head of Osijek Airport recently saying that Croatia Airlines will be leasing an Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia turboprop for operating daily flights between Zagreb and Osijek, in addition to a twice weekly flights service from Split during this winter season. Croatia Airlines flights tickets were to go on sale on October 1, 2012 for flights from Zagreb to Osijek.
If Croatia Airlines finally decides against operating flights to Osijek, then this will be considered a great setback for the airport as it won't have any commercial services during the winter.

I'm looking to order a stroller for DD (The Chicco Liteway), but it only goes up to 30 lbs. My SIL said her son was 30 lbs at 1.5 yrs old, so now I am starting to think I should look into a different stroller with a higher weight limit.
DD is on the smaller side.....she weighs about 16 lbs right now. What would you ladies do?
Also, if you have any suggestions on a lightweight stroller I'd love to hear them. My criteria/wish list is: folds up small like an umbrella stroller (I have a small trunk), reclines all the way, has a somewhat large basket on the bottom, a nice large sunshade, and I would *like* a cupholder.

The 2014 book Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, & the Forgotten History follows an unusual format, as authors Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk state up-front. They quote evidence from many historical and medical-literature sources, grouped by subject and date, and provide very little opinion, introduction, or conclusions. This allows informed readers to compare opposing statements and to draw their own conclusions. I would add that having a medical degree and working knowledge of modern physiology and immunology are almost a prerequisite as well.
If you require an entertaining introduction to a failed experiment of medical history depicting demons and heroes, this is probably not the book for you. If you are a practicing MD or an informed parent with doubts, you have struck gold.

When the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in September cited Volkswagen with programming 11 million cars to evade emissions standards and tests, the first thought of author Eula Biss was unusual: "This is going to be really bad for vaccination."
Unusual for most people, but fairly typical of Biss, a lecturer at Northwestern University who will speak as part of Augustana College's River Readings series on January 14. Her 2014 book On Immunity: An Inoculation is about vaccination, but it starts with the story of Achilles and touches on vampires, the environmental classic Silent Spring, semantics, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, anti-bacterial soap, paternalism and sexism in medicine, Kierkegaard, and New Coke among many, many other things.
The Volkswagen scandal fits right in, because – as Biss explains in the book – fear and skepticism of vaccination are nothing new and are now often rooted in a distrust of government and corporations. So when there's an instance of corporate malfeasance that government was slow to catch, she said in a recent phone interview, it reinforces concerns that people have about vaccinations.
"I discovered really quickly that part of the reason that conversations around vaccination are so heated is that we're often not just talking about vaccination when we're talking about vaccination," she said. "It's like that fight between spouses about dishes that is really not about the dishes. ... There are all kinds of conversations about feminism and government and capitalism and the environment going on underneath the surface of this conversation about vaccination."

At the time, PTVFD Fire Chief Larry Tempel told The Brazil Times the department received the monies through the grant process, which is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
However, construction on a new firehouse has not begun, but Tempel said things are moving forward.
"We'll probably know a little more in a couple of weeks," Tempel said earlier this week. "Right now, we're working on finalizing the design, getting all the specifications and getting final approval from FEMA on our plans.
"We didn't have any particular issues on our part. We just had to jump through a bunch of hoops. But it looks like things are starting to move along."
According to Tempel, the agency has outgrown its current firehouse, located at 407 E. Columbus St., Staunton.
The original building was constructed in 1911 and housed a church. The fire department took the building in 1957 and a truck bay was added in 1958.
A few years ago, the department purchased properties adjacent to its firehouse to use in training among other items. Tempel said approximately 20 years ago, one of the properties was incorporated into a parking lot.
But for the past couple of years, the properties have not been used. The properties were purchased because Tempel said the department could not expand its current firehouse.
The initial goal was to begin construction of a new fire station this year.
Tempel said he hopes to begin accepting bids for construction in January or February.
"Hopefully, we can start construction when the weather breaks in the spring," he said. "We've had the land surveyed and know the boundaries. We have done some work. It's not just all been sitting and waiting."
The county department was one of four in Indiana to receive grant money. The remaining three were the New Whiteland Fire Department, the Valparaiso Fire Department, and the Volunteer Fire and Rescue of Harrison Township in Martinsville.
Posey Township received the most grant money of any of the fire departments awarded in the state.
The local fire department received help writing its grant proposal from Staunton resident Matt Reed.
In order to receive grant money, departments were judged on firefighting safety, response times and the ability to "go green."

After replacing my old pads with these pads, I could immediately see a big difference in stopping power. However, I applied the included grease to all surfaces mentioned in the instructions (plus my knowledge of brakes) and they squeal every now and then.

Light Ninetales (Neo Destiny 50)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Light Ninetales (Japanese: やさしいキュウコン Gentle Kyukon) is a Fire-type Stage 1 Light Pokémon card. It is part of the Neo Destiny expansion.
Card text
Pokédex data
|Ninetales - Fox Pokémon
|3'7" (1.1 m)
|44 lbs. (19.9 kg)
|Pokédex entry
|It is said that each of its nine tails contains a different magical power.
Guiding Flame's Japanese name; むかえび mukaebi, is a flame lit to welcome spirits of the deceased. It is lit as part of the Obon Festival. The Japanese name for Fire Blast, daimonji, is also a tradition observed as part of the festival. Fire Blast is a move in the Pokémon games that Ninetales can learn via TM38, or via level-up as a Vulpix starting Generation IV. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Gold, though it is slightly reworded.
|This article is part of Project TCG, a Bulbapedia project that aims to report on every aspect of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

HTML5 Rocks - A resource for open web HTML5 developers. Coding a CSS3 & HTML5 One-Page Website Template. Martin Angelov Web development is an area in which you have to keep up with the latest technologies and techniques, so that you are at the top of your game.
And no wonder – this is an area which changes with an amazing pace. What is the standard now will be obsolete in just a couple of years. But changes do not come from nowhere. The early adopters are already using what we are going to use day-to-day a few years from now. Today we are making a HTML5 web template, using some of the new features brought by CSS3 and jQuery, with the scrollTo plug-in.

You hear a lot of noise about how great it is for video, and how the web standard is an alternative to Flash content, but you don't see a whole lot of examples of that. We thought we'd take a moment and round up some of the cooler, more exciting instances of HTML5 online -- sites and experiments that go way beyond just playing someone's home movies. We're talking 8-bit gaming, some really crazy video effects, and a handful of incredibly interesting ways designers are maximizing the potential of the everyone's favorite new toy.

HTML5 is the latest evolution of the standard that defines HTML.
The term represents two different concepts: It is a new version of the language HTML, with new elements, attributes, and behaviors, and a larger set of technologies that allows more diverse and powerful Web sites and applications. This set is sometimes called HTML5 & friends and often shortened to just HTML5. Designed to be usable by all Open Web developers, this reference page links to numerous resources about HTML5 technologies, classified into several groups based on their function. Semantics: allowing you to describe more precisely what your content is. SemantIcs. Learn HTML5 in 5 Minutes! By Jennifer Marsman There's no question, HTML5 is a hot topic for developers.
If you need a crash course to quickly understand the fundamentals of HTML5's functionality, you're in the right place. I'll cover the new semantic markup, canvas for drawing and animation, audio and video support, and how to use HTML5 with older browsers. Might be a bit more than five minutes, but I promise I'll keep it quick. Stick with me…it'll be worth it! There's a great story about a university who, when building their campus, didn't create any walking paths. A year later, the grass was all worn out where people walked most frequently. It makes perfect sense! HTML5 Semantics. Advertisement Much of the excitement we've seen so far about HTML5 has been for the new APIs: local storage, application cache, Web workers, 2-D drawing and the like.
Perhaps you noticed that TechCrunch went through a bit of a redesign yesterday.
Well, we're not the only ones undergoing a major facelift this summer. Another site you all know and love will soon look completely different. More importantly, it will soon function much better. It's a change that will affect millions. Get ready for New Pandora. Yes, after years of familiarity, Pandora will begin a massive metamorphosis on the web this week. "I've been looking at it for seven years. That's right, another site once completely reliant on Flash is breaking the addiction. "Back in 2004, web browsers didn't natively know how to play music. HTML 5 - What's New in HTML 5.
HTML 5 adds a lot of new features to the HTML specification. And what's even better, there is already some limited browser support for these new features. If there is a feature you're interested in, watch the WHATWG Wiki Implementations page for information on browsers that support various parts of the specification. HTML 5 New Doctype and Charset The nice thing about HTML 5 is how easy it is to impelement. You use the HTML 5 doctype, which is very simple and streamlined: Yes, that's it. The character set for HTML 5 is streamlined as well. HTML 5 New Structure HTML 5 recognizes that Web pages have a structure, just like books have a structure or other XML documents.
What's New in HTML5 Forms: The Datalist Control. As mentioned in my article entitled What's New in HTML5 Forms: New Email, URL, and Telephone Input Types, the HTML5 spec introduces a number of updated form elements that promise to make web developers' lives easier. Although browser support is still far from universal, there is little downside to using the new form controls--at least as far as input elements go. The topic of today's article, the Datalist control, is a little more complex than a simple input, and thus requires more care if you decide to use it. So for those of you who can't wait to take advantage of the latest and greatest that HTML5 has to offer, this article is for you!
The Datalist element is used to suggest input values to the user, thereby providing an "autocomplete" feature on form elements. This is especially useful for long lists, such as countries or clothing manufacturers. WARNING: due to a bug in Safari, it may hide everything after the Datalist! HTML Standard. What's new in HTML5: The Track Element. HTML5 is dead. Long live HTML5! HTML5 fans got a very large splash of very cold water in their faces yesterday. Facebook has been a big fan of building mobile apps using HTML5 and related Web standards, but no less than founder and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg called Facebook's HTML5 app " one of the biggest mistakes if not the biggest strategic mistake that we made.
" Those are powerfully damning words, and many developers will likely take them to heart given Facebook's cred in the programming world. But there are subtleties here -- not an easy thing for those who see the world in black and white to grasp, to be sure, but real nonetheless. Zuckerberg himself offered a huge pro-HTML5 caveat in the middle of his statement. Here's a fuller version of his words from the TechCrunch Disrupt conference: When I'm introspective about the last few years, I think the biggest mistake that we made as a company is betting too much on HTML5 as opposed to native. That's the kind of foundation that's very hard to shake. What's New in HTML5 Media. What's new in HTML5? HTML5 Weekly: Weekly HTML5 News and Browser Tech Email Newsletter.
10 HTML5 news projects / WP Journo: WordPress & Journalism. While HTML5′s specification won't be finalized for more than three years (check out Is HTML5 Ready Yet? For the countdown and take a look at the source code), news organizations have been experimenting with it for awhile now. Besides making their videos iPad friendly, quite a few media giants have made standalone HTML5 projects. These projects tend to mimic tablet-like experiences with horizontal grid layouts and large clickable blocks. This is for good reason, given that publishers could save a lot of money developing just one HTML5 site for mobile rather than a bunch of native apps, which haven't been very lucrative yet. But for now, Google's mighty Chrome browser (what every journalist should use—more on this in a later post) delivers the best HTML5 experience.
While these experiments are all strikingly refreshing ways to read online, they don't seem to have much attention from their creators or readers. HTML5 Input Types. New HTML5 structural tags.

Tip of the Day
Quickly update info for different tracks in iTunes
Most iTunes users probably already know that you can edit information for multiple tracks simply by selecting them all and choosing File, Get Info. However, this only works if you need to apply the same information to all of the selected tracks. If you're updating tracks individually, such as to correct song titles or track numbers, you'll find the multiple item editor to be less useful. However, iTunes does offer a useful shortcut for quickly moving between tracks without leaving the edit window. Instead of clicking "OK" when you're finished editing the information for a selected track, you can use the buttons found in the bottom left corner of the editing window to simply pull up the information for the next or previous track, and better yet, iTunes provides shortcuts for these buttons: CMD+N and CMD+P respectively on a Mac, or ALT+N and ALT+P in iTunes for Windows. If you simply organize your tracks in the order you want by sorting or placing them into a playlist, with these shortcuts you can quickly move through them and update your info like a pro.

Discharge after ovulation?
It is about 3-7 days after my ovulation. (Not sure if I am on a 24 or 28 day cycle yet because I just got of the pill a couple months ago so it is still regulating). If 24 days cycle it would be a week after ovulation. If 28 days it is like 3 days. Well I normally don't have very much discharge after ovulation. Today I had the stringy mucous like discharge which I usually only get before ovulation.. I also had a lot of creamy white watery discharge. I would stand up and feel a lot of it come out.. Is this a sign of pregnancy?

Sports fans like winning. Sports fans like knowing things about their teams before anyone else. Sports fans like social media. Finding a way to combine them all is a natural evolution.
Social media rewards programs have started popping up across the sports landscape as teams seek to recognize their most engaged fans. SocialToaster FANACTIVE, a social-media-meets-sports platform, is one of the companies working with professional sports teams to make that happen.
The Baltimore Ravens launched RavensReps, a social media ambassador program that is now 10,000 fans strong. The Indianapolis Colts have the Colts Stampede. The Detroit Lions have Lions Pride. And it's not just the NFL. The Detroit Pistons and Chicago Blackhawks have created programs as well.
More than just rewarding fans for liking a Facebook post or for retweeting, fans are notified of content via email -- from exclusive stories to contests -- and receive points when they share what interests them. Sharing involves clicking on a link in the email that posts updates on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or whatever other platform a user chooses.
"[The RavensReps program] is different than the other social media outlets we have," Ravens vice president of digital media Michelle Andres said. "You're asking them to be part of the process. They have a role to play in choosing what to share with their networks. … It's not something we'd been able to do before."
Each team's site has a leaderboard featuring the fans with the most points so users can see where they stand.
At the end of a given month (or however often a team chooses), fans with the most points are rewarded. The Ravens, for example, regularly give away team merchandise and other prizes to the RavensReps.
Cavs calendar
The Cleveland Cavaliers have partnered with UpTo, a social calendar platform. In addition to the team's schedule, the Cavs will provide information on everything from player appearances to team-related community, promotional and charity events through the site.
Social media saving soccer teams
Social networking mobilization has saved two struggling soccer clubs from the brink of financial collapse. Needing almost $2.5 million to stay afloat, Spanish team Real Oviedo moved to sell off shares of the team. After word of the sale hit the Twitterverse, followers from around the globe bought almost $2 million worth of shares -- and caught the attention of the world's richest man. As a result of the strong response -- propelled by social media -- Carlos Slim put up another $2.5 million to save the team. Fans of Welsh team Wrexham FC raised more than $160,000 in a span of 24 hours after to taking to Facebook and Twitter to rally supporters.
Penalty box-worthy tweets
The federal mediator assigned to work with the NHL and NHLPA over resolving the lockout was removed from the negotiations due to some offensive tweets on his Twitter account. The mediator, Guy Serota, said his account had been hacked.
Meanwhile, Blackhawks forward Dave Bolland said his retweet of a post about wanting commissioner Gary Bettman "dead" was an accident.
Elsewhere in the social mediasphere
If you're not following Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio on Twitter, you might want to consider it.
Titans running back Chris Johnson doesn't seem to be a fantasy football fan.
Bucks forward Drew Gooden came up with a unique social media ticket giveaway.

Tunisia Islamists storm university over veil ban
University refused to enrol woman in full-face veil; Religious tension mounting as election approaches; Women stage counter-protest against religious violence
October 9, 2011 11:15 by Reuters
Islamists stormed a university in Tunisia on Saturday after it refused to enrol a woman wearing a full-face veil, a staff member said, highlighting tensions over religion that are likely to dominate an election later this month.
Tunisia votes on October 23 in the first election since a revolution that inspired the "Arab Spring" uprisings. The vote has pitted Islamists against secular Tunisians who say their liberal values are under threat.
"The General Secretary of the university was attacked this morning with extreme violence by a group of religious extremists," said Moncef Abdul Jalil, a faculty head at the university of Sousse, about 150 km (93 miles) south of the Tunisian capital.
About 200 people protested outside the faculty, and then stormed the building carrying banners demanding students' right to wear a veil, Abdul Jalil was quoted as saying by Tunisia's official TAP news agency.
"This serious incident caused a state of terror and panic in the ranks of college students and professors," he said.
Witnesses told Reuters that, after the incident, a large security force contingent surrounded the faculty building to prevent any further attacks.
The clashes in Sousse provoked a storm of anger among secularists on social networking website Facebook.
Following online calls for a counter-protest, about 200 women gathered in El-Menzah, a northern suburb of the capital, to protest against religious violence, witnesses said.
A former French colony, Tunisia has a long history of secularism and liberal attitudes.
That has been challenged since autocratic president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was swept from power in January, and conservative Muslims were free to express their views and adopt the outward trappings of their beliefs.
Under Ben Ali rule, thousands of people who were suspected of membership of an Islamist political group or who followed strict interpretations of Islam were arrested.
The full-face veil — known as the niqab — is rarely seen on Tunisia's streets but it has been one of the subjects of debate between Islamists and secularists.
The Education Ministry decided to ban students from wearing the niqab at the start of the academic year.
The Islamist Ennahda party is expected to win the biggest share of the vote on Oct. 23, when Tunisians are to choose an assembly which will draft a new constitution.
Ennahda leader Rachid Ghannouchi told Reuters in an interview his party would uphold women's rights and not try to impose strict Muslim values on society. (Reporting By Tarek Amara; Editing by Andrew Heavens)

Animal magnetism: There's more than meets the eye in the eyes of dogs
If, like me, you tend to mindlessly credit the canine nose when you hear about a dog miraculously finding his way hundreds of miles back home, you might be interested in this other possible explanation.
Researchers have shown for the first time that the eyes of dogs have a version of the molecule cryptochrome 1 — the same molecule that gives bats, birds and certain other mammals the ability to perceive Earth's magnetic fields.
It's not clear yet that dogs possess magnoreception — that GPS-like ability that allows birds to return to the same spot every year — but researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany have shown that a version of the molecule that gives birds that ability is present in the retinas of dogs, wolves, bears, and more.
Magnoreception could help explain the mystery of why dogs tend to line up parallel to the north-south axis when they poop.
And many, more important, things, as well.
Presence of the light-sensing molecule gives some plants and animals almost a sixth sense, allowing them to regulate their circadian rhythms and find places they have left far behind.
But not humans. We've lost whatever cryptochrome 1 we might have had long ago — probably about the same time we started asking for directions.
According to the study, simply having cryptochrome 1 doesn't necessarily mean that animals can perceive magnetic fields, but the presence could be a sign of that.
It has been found in the cone photoreceptors of some mammals — the same place it is located in birds.
Out of 90 species of mammals examined, researchers found only a few contained cryptochrome 1.
It was found in the eyes of dogs, wolves and foxes; five members of the weasel family, including ferrets and sea otters; orangutans and two types of macaques; brown bears and polar bears.
With further studies, scientists could find out if and how those animals are using it.
"…It is possible that these animals also have a magnetic sense that is linked to their visual system," the researchers concluded.
It could explain why some animals approach certain prey from a certain direction, why dogs like to line up north to south to do their business and how so many a lost dog — in real life and movies — manages to find his or her way back home.

Dogs vs. cats: The battle goes on
In the perpetual debate over which makes a better pet — dog or cat — cats have been taking a drubbing lately.
It's a silly argument to begin with: Why must we deem one species superior? What possible good does that serve? And it's mostly a waste of time. Converting a dyed-in-the-wool dog lover to a staunch cat lover is about as likely as getting someone to switch from Donald to Hillary.
Yet, conflict seems to be something we humans require, or at least enjoy. And the endless argument does provide fodder for bloggers. And, every now and then, something interesting comes up.
In the past year, scientific and semi-scientific studies comparing dogs and cats have come down more squarely on the side of dogs — enough so that you've got to wonder if some cat-hater is behind it all.
(For the record, we confess a personal preference for dog right here at the start, though we like cats, too.)
One such study was conducted as part of a new BBC2 documentary called "Cats v. Dogs: Which is Better" — a silly concept for a TV show, though we admit some of what they bring to light is thought provoking.
Dr. Paul Zak, a California neuroscientist, compared how much oxytocin dogs produce compared to cats, and he concluded that dogs love humans more than cats do. Five times as much to be exact.
It has been well documented that bonding, petting and having eye contact with your dog produces increased levels of the oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, in both dog and human.
"It's one of the chemical measures of love in mammals," Zak said. "Humans produce the hormone in our brains when we care about someone. For example, when we see our spouse or child the levels in our bloodstream typically rise by 40-60 percent."
The neuroscientist checked the oxytocin levels in both cats and dogs, taking saliva samples from 10 cats and 10 dogs on two occasions – 10 minutes before a playtime session with their owners and immediately after.
"I was really surprised to discover that dogs produced such high levels of oxytocin .. The dog level of 57.2 percent is a very powerful response. It shows these dogs really care about their owners," he said.
Zak said he was surprised to find any oxytocin at all in cats, which he said had never been tested for the hormone before.
Zak, also known as "Dr.Love," believes upping our oxytocin (and hugging more) could change the world. He once took blood from an entire wedding party and a sampling of guests, to see how their oxytocin levels went up during the ceremony.
He also spent two years trying to get the Food and Drug Administration to approve his use of oxytocin inhalers on experimental subjects. (In the meantime, as reported in The Guardian, he used one on himself.)
Zak's determination that canines love us more than felines do was just the latest bit of bad press for cats.
Another recent study, at Manhattanville College in New York, found canines provide humans with more benefits than cats.
The research suggested dog owners are more conscientious, less neurotic and more agreeable than cat owners. Dog owners scored higher in well-being than cat owners on all measures.
Last year, a study at the University of California, Berkeley, found, through web-based surveying, that cat owners were more anxious than cat owners.
If you still don't believe cats have been getting some bad press, check out this headline on a story about a study of cats last year: "Study: Your cat might be trying to kill you."
The story dealt with a study by researchers from the University of Edinburgh and the Bronx Zoo that compared the personality of the domestic cat with bigger, wilder members of the cat species.
The headline … well, it's what happens when you try to condense a 40-page study into eight catchy words.
So if you find yourself reading/listening to/watching the latest account of which is better, cats or dogs — whether it's labeled science or not — be at least a little wary.
And if it stresses you out, go pet your dog. Or cat.

World's first in vitro puppies born at Cornell
Ten years after a dog was first successfully cloned, scientists have managed to produce the world's first litter of pups to be born through in vitro fertilization.
In July seven puppies were born through IVF at Cornell University — five beagles and two "bockers," or beagle-cocker spaniel mixes.
The achievement was not revealed until this week with the release of the research study.
Seems like science would have happened the other way around — that a "test-tube" puppy would have premiered long before we entered the even more science fiction-like era of cloned dogs becoming available on the marketplace.
But, while IVF has been used for decades in other animals, including humans, scientists had never succeeded in using it to produce a newborn pup.
Previous attempts to use IVF in dogs had resulted in very low rates of fertilization, and no live births at all once IVF embryos were transferred to a host.
"Since the mid-1970s, people have been trying to do [IVF] in a dog and have been unsuccessful," said co-author Alex Travis, associate professor of reproductive biology at the Baker Institute for Animal Health in Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine.
What made it so difficult were some of the same factors that proved challenging in cloning dogs — females only ovulate once or twice a year, and their eggs are not transparent, making it harder to see the structures inside of the egg.
The Cornell researchers, in a joint project with researchers from the Smithsonian Institution, found that by waiting an extra day for eggs to mature before extracting them, they met with more success.
Adding magnesium to the environment where the sperm and egg met also helped with fertilization, the team found, according to a Cornell press release.
The achievement was revealed this week in a study published online Dec. 9 in the journal Public Library of Science ONE.
The seven surviving puppies (out of 19 embryos) are genetically the offspring of two different fathers (a cocker spaniel and a beagle) and three different beagle mothers, carried by the same beagle surrogate.
Unlike cloning, which involves transferring an existing (or dead) dog's DNA into a donor egg, IVF involves the creation of a new genome through fertilization. Each each animal has a unique set of DNA.
The researchers say the development will open the door for preserving endangered canid species using assisted reproduction techniques.
It could also enable researchers to eradicate heritable diseases in dogs and facilitate the study of genetic diseases in dogs and humans, they say.

Did greedy moms fuel domestication of dog?
Some researchers are suggesting that selfish mama dogs may have played a role in the early domestication of the species by keeping the good food to themselves, as opposed to sharing it with their pups.
As a result, the researchers theorize, pups and young dogs ventured out of the wild and into human communities where they didn't have to compete as hard for food — at least not with their own mothers.
(Being a cartoonist at heart — albeit one who can't draw — I am picturing a young pup, sneaking away from the home of his domineering mother with one of those sacks on a stick over his shoulder, muttering to himself, "That bitch. That bitch. That greedy bitch!")
Sure, there may be some substance to this research, but it mostly makes me laugh.
The researchers conducted experiments with feral dogs in India, then theorized that ancestral dogs thousands of years ago must have behaved the same way.
First, they offered low-quality biscuits to mother dogs, and the mother dogs tended to share those with their pups, with no conflicts arising.
Then they brought out the good stuff. Protein-rich meat seemed to make the mother dogs forget their motherly ways, growling at their pups to keep them away, and even grabbing meat from the mouths of their puppies.
The authors, Anindita Bhadra and Manabi Paul of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, say ancestral dogs, once they reached 8 or 9 weeks old, became able to clearly distinguish between protein rich food sources and the un-nourishing filler their mothers were trying to pass off on them.
At that point, the researchers theorize, many young ancestral dogs would set out for farming communities where they had access to what humans threw away. There is evidence also that the earliest farmers fed these dogs, making life among humans even more appealing.
The theory, outlined in the journal Royal Society Open Science, could help to explain the origins of dog domestication and how some ancestral dogs so willingly elected to live with people instead of with their own kind, Discovery reports.
"Ancestral dogs" is kind of a safe term scientists use — just in case dogs didn't evolve from wolves, but from some other species.
As for why ancestral dog moms turned so selfish when a good cut of meat became available, Bhadra said, "We feel that the mothers just tend to grab the best resources when available."
Ancestral mother dogs are not available to respond to those charges, so I will speak for them:
"Hey, you think it's easy giving birth to 14 kids at once, and then raising them? Alone?
"Yeah, where IS dad? Good question. Haven't seen him since he knocked me up.
"So, yes, I get a little anxious, a little snippy. But I've got to feed the whole lot of them, and protect them. It's not like I can walk into the Food Lion and get all I need. You have no idea how tired I am. And yes, I get hungry, too. If I am not nourished, how do you expect me to nourish all of them? Go research that, why don't you?"

High tech device promises to tell a dog's mood — by monitoring the wag of the tail
Yes, ohmidog! pokes cruel fun at "new technology" from time to time, but only when "new technology" deserves it — as is the case with this tail wagging monitor a group hopes to bring to the market.
Some Cornell University graduates have launched an Indiegogo campaign to finance the manufacturing of DogStar TailTalk, which they describe as a translator of dog emotions.
The device consists of a lightweight sensor that wraps around your dog's tail, monitoring the speed and direction of the tail's movement with an internal accelerometer and a gyroscope.
Coupled with a phone app, the developers say, it will tell you when your dog is happy, and when his or her tail wag may be a sign of stress.
There's some hard science behind it — but not much.
Scientific studies conducted in Italy have concluded that the prominent direction of a dog's tail wag is an indicator of whether he's happy or feeling anxiety, aggression or fear.
Wagging more to the right is said to be an indication of positive feelings.
The developers of the device say the direction of the wag isn't always discernable to the naked eye: "Tail wagging is asymmetric and includes complex emotional signals that the human eye cannot recognize."
We're not so sure about that, just as we're not so sure that a dog owner, seeing their dog's tail wagging upon meeting, say, another dog, will have time to fire up the app to determine whether the meeting is going to go well.
Like a lot of canine-oriented technology — from treat poppers to automatic ball throwers to spy cams — this little gizmo takes over a task and/or responsibility that we should be doing ourselves, thereby growing closer and better knowing our dog, as opposed to distancing ourselves from our dog and giving them the features of robots.
As the goofy video above shows, the device may have some value when used remotely, such as learning the dog really doesn't like the dog walker at all, but that — again — is something a dog owner should be able to ascertain beforehand without gyroscopes or apps.
The design team says it consulted on the project with "professors from the famous College of Veterinary Medicine in Cornell University."
We think we smell a class project resurfacing for the marketplace. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Current plans call for the TailTalk app to work with iOS or Android phones, and to include features like the "Happiness Overview" function, which tracks a dog's emotional status over the course of a day, a week, or a month. The monitoring device will be waterproof and "chew-resistant." We can only hope that dogs, annoyed by having a tail attachment, don't inadvertently chew through something other than the device.
So far, the campaign has raised about a third of its $100,000 funding goal.
If all goes according to plan, the TailTalk device will be ready to hit the market in about a year, and we suspect that — just as there are those who are willing to fund it — there will be those willing to buy it.
Because while the dog may sometimes wag his tail, and the tail may sometimes wag the dog, technology seems destined to almost always wag us.

Why dogs are smarter than wolves
An Oregon State University scientist's study, published yesterday, is drawing a lot of attention for concluding (as scientific studies often do) the obvious:
The longer dogs live with us, the more dependent they become on us, and, as a result, their problem solving and survival skills aren't what they were back when they were wolves.
Not to sound stupid, but duh.
This, friends, is evolution. Just as our ancestors could once shred apart a mastodon leg without using an electric carving knife, the ancestors of dogs — i.e. wolves — did, and do, what they have to do to survive.
But to say dogs are "dumbing down" as a result of the cushy life we are affording them, well that's just a little narrow-minded.
I prefer to think of it as their skills taking a new direction.
Do we say children are becoming more "stupid" because they can't use a manual typewriter or blacksmith tools?
Of course the scientist and author of this study didn't use the word "stupid" — only headline writers do that.
More "dim" is how the Smithsonian put it. "Stupid" and "lazy thinkers" is what the Daily Mail called them. "Poor problem solvers" was the phrase of choice for Discover magazine. "Rubbish at solving problems," reported the International Business Times.
Kinda makes you think the dog world could use a public relations pro at least as adept as the one who garnered the author of this study so much press.
Up to now, canine cognition studies have mostly marveled at how dogs have learned to interact with humans — and cited that as proof of how incredibly smart they are.
This new study, and some earlier ones, however, are portraying how much dogs are relying on humans as an example of how we are "dumbing them down."
Yes, dogs are growing ever more dependent on humans. Just as humans are growing ever more dependent on computers. Who does that make stupider? Or is "more stupid" the righter way of saying that?
The study at issue is by Monique A.R. Udell, an assistant professor of animal and rangeland sciences at Oregon State University. In it, she compared the problem solving skills of dogs and wolves.
Ten pet dogs and ten wolves were presented with a solvable puzzle. Sausage was placed inside a sealed plastic tub with a hard to open lid. Just one of the dogs was able to open the tub, while eight of the wolves were.
Dogs often gave up more quickly, and turned to their human masters for guidance, often with that cute head tilt they use to manipulate us. (It's only fair after the thousands of years we've been manipulating them, starting with their domestication.)
The wolves, meanwhile, sought out no such help, and spent more time trying to get in the box. It should be noted they also spent more time trying to get into an impossible to open box.
How smart is that?
Udell believes depending on humans for help is not necessarily a cognitive asset. She calls the response a "conditioned inhibition of problem-solving behavior."
Udell's findings were published yesterday in the journal Biology Letters.
So, no, I don't buy that a wolf being able to open a box, or spending more time on the task, is proof they are any smarter. They use their paws and claws and teeth, and perhaps some brute force — but they don't take a second to consider other alternatives.
Dogs on the other hand, have an entire arsenal — from head tilt to sympathy-invoking whimper, from batting their big eyes at us to licking our hands as if to say, "If you love me, you will help me with this." To me, that's proof dogs are smarter.
After all, which is more easy to manipulate, a can of Spam or a human being?

Some recommended reading: "Dog Medicine: How My Dog Saved Me From Myself"
Seems that hardly a month goes by that we're not reading about — and duly reporting on — some new scientific study showing how dogs, for us humans, are good medicine.
Whether its lowering our blood pressure, upping our oxytocin (that hormone that makes us feel warm and fuzzy), or keeping us sane (no small task), you can bet there's a study underway at some university somewhere seeking to unravel — and dryly present to us — more hard evidence of yet another previously mysterious way that dogs enhance our well-being.
Given that, it's a nice change of pace to plunge into a more anecdotal account — one that looks at the near magical mental health benefits one woman reaped through her dog, and does so with candor and humor, as opposed to sappiness.
"Dog Medicine: How My Dog Saved Me From Myself" is a book that shows, far better than any scientific study, just how valuable — no, make that priceless — the human-dog bond is.
The memoir spans a year in the life of the author, Julie Barton, starting when, just one year out of college and living in Manhattan, she had what we used to call a "nervous breakdown."
A barely coherent phone call from her kitchen floor brought her mother racing to her side from Ohio to take her home.
Barton was diagnosed with major depression — one that didn't seem to lift, despite the best efforts of family, doctors, therapists and the pharmaceutical industry. She spent entire days in bed, refusing to get up.
Around the same time doctors started her on Zoloft, Barton told her mother she'd like to get a dog. Her mother thought that was a great idea. A few weeks later, they were bringing home a golden retriever pup. Barton named him Bunker.
On that first night, Bunker started whimpering in his crate, and Barton crawled inside with him:
"It occurred to me as I gently stroked his side that this was the first time in recent memory that I was reassuring another living thing. And, miraculously, I knew in that moment that I was more than capable of caring for him. I felt enormously driven to create a space for Bunker that felt safe, free of all worry, fear and anxiety. For the first time in a long time, I felt as if I had a purpose."
Barton's depression didn't lift overnight; it never does. But, as the artfully written story unravels, Bunker gives Barton the confidence she needs to start a new life on her own in Seattle.
The are plenty of bumps ahead, and more than a few tests, but, given we're recommending you read it for yourself, we won't divulge them here.
The book is being released in November by Think Piece Publishing, but you can pre-order it here.
Or you can wait for the next scientific study that comes along, proclaiming — in heartless, soulless prose — to prove one way or another what we already know:
Dogs are good for the heart and soul.
