The Leonard Cheshire Disability and Inclusive Development Centre, UCL, the African Centre for Technology Studies and Real Impact launched the results of their joint research project which focused on the links between urban agriculture and livelihoods; food security; and nutrition of persons with disabilities living in Thika, Kenya. The research is part of a larger programme, the Cross-Cutting Disability Research Programme (CCDRP), funded by the UK Government's Department for International Development (DFID). The CCDRP is also exploring how to mainstream disability in international health and development research in a number of selected low and middle income countries in Asia and Africa. The programme is supporting a number of other stakeholders, including disabled people's organisations and local academic institutions to mainstream disability and development research.
This half day workshop shared the results from the Kenya research project with potential beneficiaries and users including policy makers and development agencies including government agencies, NGOs and development partners.

The city is seemingly covered in flyers, but I saw one yesterday that deserves some further publicizing. It was for an event called "Wine Your Valentine." On Sunday, January 31st, at 3pm, the Estel Gallery will be offering a wine tasting of some fine bottles from Napa and Sonoma. You can purchase these wines, but you can also participate in a silent auction for some even more exclusive bottles of wine. What's particularly special is that the auction is to benefit Haiti. The money will be going to the Haiti relief fund. All of this takes place at Estel: a wonderful art gallery located at 115 Rosa Parks Blvd., in downtown Nashville. So, all in one, you get beautiful art, impressive wine, and a good cause. Add it to your Sunday schedule and buy a bottle of wine for your valentine.

According to Saturday's ABC News 10, the true identity of the golden retriever who was discovered earlier this month near a campground in the Tahoe National Forest, has been determined.
Nathan and Erin Braun, guardians of a five-year-old golden retriever named "Murphy," had hoped to complete a DNA test on the dog who was found not far from a campground near French Meadows Reservoir - they believed that the dog was their own dog, who had disappeared nearly two years ago, but they were not absolutely certain.
Completing the DNA test turned out to be impossible, but the Braun's veterinarian reminded them that their dog would have a distinctive scar on her right elbow...the family shaved the dog's fur away and sure enough, a faint scar matching Murphy's scar, was discovered.
The scar confirmed what Erin Braun has known all along...the thin dog who was found in the forest this month was their own dog who had been lost for an astounding 20 months. Braun told ABC News 10:
"It's just an unbelievable story and we're still in shock."
Murphy's miraculous homecoming was aided by camp host Jason Smith, who laid out personal items from the family at the campground. On the very first night, the roaming dog was found resting her head on the items. It took awhile to finally capture her, but eventually, Smith was successful.
Even if the dog discovered this month had not turned out to be Murphy, the family had made up their mind that she would have a permanent place in their family anyway.

Vermont's Caledonia County airport has undergone a facelift.
There's a new conference room, waiting area, and two gas fireplaces. The airport has energy-efficient windows and doors, new wiring and insulation and a new heating system.
Long-time pilot Robert Jauch says the small airport can now take most turboprops and can accommodate small jets. It has a 3,100-foot runway.
The Lyndon airport was once considered the "red-headed step-child" among regional airports in Vermont, according to Guy Rouelle, Vermont's State Aeronautics Director. But he says the name no longer fits.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will exempt drivers of vehicles hauling livestock from the 30-minute break requirement during the first eight hours of a shift. The exemption will remain in place for one year only. In 2013, FMCSA granted livestock haulers a 90-day waiver during the hot summer months with no adverse effects to safety. A release from FMCSA says the agency has received four petitions for exemptions from 30 minute break requirement of the HOS rule. This is the second to be granted.
The notice can be viewed in the Federal Register.

UH seeks new leases for Mauna Kea lands
University of Hawaii officials want to extend the leases that authorize telescope usage on Mauna Kea by another half century.
Their request, made in August to the state Board of Land and Natural Resources, would extend the leases for more than 11,000 acres that include the Mauna Kea Science Reserve and Hale Pohaku, another 45 years beyond the current lease terms, according to documents filed with the board. Board members are scheduled to take up the request, which includes canceling the existing leases and issuing new ones, at their meeting Friday in Honolulu.
The current leases expire in 2033 and 2041. New leases, if approved this year as recommended by Department of Land and Natural Resources staff, would run for 65 years, through 2078.
UH officials offered several reasons for the request, which the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and DLNR's State Historic Preservation Division expressed some reservations about.
"New general leases with a longer term are necessary for UH to enter into meaningful negotiations with current and any potential future telescope projects," Board of Regents Chairman John C. Holzman wrote in a letter to DLNR Chairman William Aila. "UH anticipates that future subleases' rent will provide a significant portion of the funding required for UH to carry out its management and stewardship responsibilities."
Office of Hawaiian Affairs officials said they would like to see more environmental reviews completed before the board grants any new leases.
"The nature of the proposed leases, which expressly contemplate the construction of new structures and facilities, and which would allow the continuation of construction and maintenance activities in a particularly sensitive area over a much longer time than previously anticipated, would appear to be an 'expansion or change in use' prohibiting application of the claimed categorical exception (to having to complete a new environmental assessment)," OHA CEO Kamanaopono Crabbe wrote. "Given the breadth of actions encompassed by the entire project … the extended timeline of such actions and the particularly sensitive nature of the subject area, OHA believes that the likelihood of significant impacts would also prohibit the application of any exemption category to this proposal."
OHA officials also questioned the length of the lease, noting a 65-year term "may unnecessarily tie the BLNR's hands in ensuring the best and more appropriate use of this culturally and ecologically invaluable area," Crabbe added.
The university isn't proposing any new construction right now, UH-Hilo Chancellor Don Straney wrote in a response letter. Instead, he said, the lease extension would allow the university to extend its subleases with telescopes whose work otherwise must cease with the end of the lease in 2033. The Thirty Meter Telescope is the only project that has been authorized but does not yet have a telescope in place, and the only sublease that university officials have asked to extend beyzond 2033, which would require land board approval, Straney wrote.
"No other new uses of Mauna Kea beyond 2033 are foreseeable at this time," Straney wrote.
Two DLNR divisions: State Historic Preservation and Forestry and Wildlife, submitted letters laying out their concerns about the proposal. SHPD's Hawaii Island Archaeology Branch Chief Theresa Donham, in a letter, noted Mauna Kea's significant cultural importance for the Hawaiian community. Any project on the mountain will have an impact on cultural practices, Donham added.
She requested additional public outreach before the land board granted the lease change request.
DOFAW's Hawaii Island manager, Lisa Hadway, said she was concerned about the growing use of the state facilities on Mauna Kea, not just the telescopes, but also the visitors center.
"The improvement of Saddle Road and the draw of one of the most accessible high elevation volcanoes on earth has caused there to be an ever increasing number of visitors to the area," Hadway wrote. "The result of this has stressed the existing visitors' facilities. There is inadequate parking and inadequate space with commercial activities and public use overlapping."
Straney acknowledged the increasing impact and said the university was expecting state funding, appropriated by the Legislature earlier this year, to study and design infrastructure improvements at the visitor center.
The Hawaii Island Chamber of Commerce emailed members Tuesday asking them to write support letters for the university's request.
"The Hawaii Island Chamber members have been strong supporters of the stewardship of Mauna Kea through the Comprehensive Management Plan process and beyond," the email said. "Together we are taking care of the mountain."

It's something normally reserved for places like Talladega Superspeedway. The "big one" a multi-car crash, isn't something usually seen at the 2.5 mile relatively flat triangle otherwise known as Pocono Raceway. During Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup GoBowling.com 400 though the big one did indeed take place and sent many contenders home early.
The trouble happened on a restart on lap 116. As the field exited turn 1, Denny Hamlin's Toyota got loose. Brian Vickers slowed behind him blocking the narrow part of the track and setting off melee behind them.
"I was in the middle lane and I got stuck three-wide," Hamlin said." Just the guys getting runs and guys that can accelerate much faster than what we can and so that put me three-wide in the middle. The 15 (Clint Bowyer) was right on my door and it sucked me around and I was just hanging on at that point and I think it was mayhem from everyone checking up from behind. "
Vickers said he tried to avoid Hamlin.
" I tried to go low to miss him and then got loose," Vickers said. "I don't know if someone got me in the back or not, but as soon as I tried to avoid the 11 (Hamlin) we spun and then got in a crash. One thing led to another."
Behind cars were sent spinning and crashing. The carnage ended ended in a wad of metal. In addition to Vickers, who had run in the top five at one point, Matt Kenseth, who led three laps was also involved. Kenseth said he saw very little of what had happened.
"I just was following (Denny) Hamlin on that restart," Kenseth said. "He kind of went to the middle so I stayed at the bottom and got behind Brian (Vickers) and my spotter told me I was clear high, so I just went up to go up off the corner and when I got up there I saw the 11 car (Denny Hamlin) sideways and the 55 (Brian Vickers) went to miss him and we just got all collected."
In all 17 cars received some damage . And while many were able to drive away, several were done for the day including Kenseth and Tony Stewart who found his Chevy resting on top of the Chevy driven by Paul Menard.
"Yeah, I tend to end up on Paul (Menard) a lot," Stewart, joked. "Car wise (laughs) our cars tend to end up on top of each other for some reason. I think that is the second time I've landed on top of him. This time at least we weren't looking windshield in at each other."
"I told Tony (Stewart) the last time we did that was about two years ago at Talladega," Menard said. So we have got to stop doing that."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the 160-lap event, his third win of the season and his second at Pocono this year. He is the sixth driver to complete the Pocono sweep and the first since Hamlin accomplished the feat in 2006.

Remember the bulletin board in your 5th grade classroom that used to say corny things like Spring Has Sprung? It's funny, but when we initially saw Estee Lauder Wild Violet Pure Color Nail Lacquer ($19) that was the first thought that popped into our minds. Even though this particular shade (Wild Storm) reminds us more of a tornado in Kansas than a flower, it's still spring-related, and we're going with that!
Nail Polishes are an easy way to express ourselves.

|NCV Dad's Bible: The Father's Plan Hardcover
By Robert Wolgemuth / Thomas Nelson
Dad's Bible: The Father's Plan is the perfect gift for the Fathers, fathers-to-be and father figures of any age. The Dad's Bible is filled with challenging and helpful information designed to encourage and uplift fathers whose lives will be a priceless legacy for generations to come. Whether as a personal purchase, a Father's Day gift, or "just because," Dad's Bible is sure to draw the reader into quality personal time with our Heavenly Father. A perfect companion to the Mom's Bible.
Review by Janet Carter
The Dad's Bible: The Father's Plan with notes by Dr. Robert Wolgemuth is a bible designated specifically for fathers. If you are an expectant father or you've been a dad for many years, this Bible offers many lessons, instructions and encouragement to help you become a more godly man and role model for your children and/or grandchildren. The Dad's Bible is published in the New Century Version, meaning it is very easy-to-read and makes comprehension more viable.
I had the pleasure of previously reviewing the Mom's Bible: God's Wisdom for Mothers with notes by Robbie Wolgemuth. And, I was equally excited to be able to review the Dad's Bible for Book Sneeze along with my husband.He did not own a NCV Bible and appreciated the thought and hard work that went into creating this translation. He agrees that it is very easy-to-read. We both appreciate the many features: Insights, Godly Character,Walking in Authority, Dads in the Bible, Question and Answer Resource, Passing It On and the Topical Index.
Similar to the Mom's Bible, you will find the Question and Answer Resource. Each answer will have a scriptural based answer for the tough questions that children sometimes ask. I am sure you will find answers to questions you were not familiar with as well. Here are a few questions that your child may ask: "What is an idol?", "How big is God?", "Why do I sometimes feel that God is not there?" and many others. I like the accountability feature called Passing It On because it challenges dads to live their lives in faith and to allow their children to see them living for God. The Dads in the Bible profiles many fathers in both the Old and New Testament. I like how the Topical Index lists the Dads in the Bible with phrases like : Adam, the Wimpy Father and Mordecai, the Adoptive Father.
I recommend the Dad's Bible for new believers in Christ, for new and expectant fathers, and men of all ages and stages that desire to be godly role models for their families.
Note: You can also purchase a bible study guide for both the Dad's Bible and the Mom's Bible.
I happily received a copy of the Dad's Bible: The Father's Plan for free to review for Book Sneeze.(Thomas Nelson)

It's a strange thing, the hunger for public statements, testimonials. Periodically, an important event takes place and forces the media to seek out a community response. And if you happen to work for Hillel in the nearly-rural-overwhelmingly-Christian Midwest, you get a lot of calls from smalltown papers, hungering for the Jewish response to nearly everything — from the last episode of Sex in the City to the Democratic National Convention.
I work for Hillel at the University of Iowa, where I happen to be Jewish Student Life Coordinator, and I get a ton of calls. Lately, my phone won't stop ringing.
Because suddenly Jews are interesting again, fascinating, unusual and targeted. Because suddenly, everyone wants a statement. They want me to say I'm scared to death, or they want me to say I'm not frightened at all. They want me to resurrect the Holocaust, proclaim that I don't think violence will erupt, but that my grandparents didn't think it would erupt in Berlin.
It doesn't really matter what I say, so long as it fits into the column, and so long as it's a defined position, symbolic of all the emotions of my chosen people, my Jewish race. So long as I'm not confused, conflicted, bewildered by complex factors.
Everybody's Jesus? (The Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson)
They sit at the other end of the phone, listening, scribbling right along for The Cedar Springs Courier, The Cedar Bluffs Statesman, and The Cedar Cedar Bugle, old hands from small towns and cub reporters from J-schools, local TV producers and Christian news service hacks, but then they say, "Wait, I'm not sure I understand your position."
"My position?" I repeat. "I don't really have one." They get flustered, and I tell them that I have some feelings, some fears, some gut-reactions, but that I'm not sure what I think.
They respond: "But your community overall — what is your community feeling?"
And I'm at a total loss. It's like they imagine I've just gotten off a conference call with Ariel Sharon, my bubbe's ghost, the Elders of Zion, Moses, Chabad, The Beastie Boys, and the ADL.
Because there has been a major event, and they imagine my community is unifying, reacting, converging. And what is the event? Certainly not the explosion in Jerusalem yesterday, and not the building of the fence in the territories. Not the execution of Texas inmates and not the Iowa caucuses. A big event, bigger than that, a really enormous event.
Because Mel Gibson, bored with the American Revolution, 13th century Scotland and WWII, decided to conquer the greatest story ever told. He decided to invade the Bible. He decided to hand-pick scenes from the Gospels, mix in a handful of Mel-made manufactured moments, and film it all in Aramaic, to lend a Semitic hint of authenticity.
And they want my testimony on this movie, which nobody in Iowa has yet seen. They want me to either hug everybody or scream. They want to know what the Jews think.
The Jews think many things, but I think this — that Gibson is a heavy-handed fuck, that I was offended by 1776 long before The Passion of the Christ, that history is as malleable as the American mind. But that isn't why they called me, is it? But I don't care, I tell them this —
That Mel's dad is guilty of child-abuse, of warping Mel's mind with a sick, irrelevant hatred. That Mel wants to destroy the ethical left-wing of the Catholic church and that time marches forward, not the other way. That Mel must be a sad person on the inside, and that Passion plays are a part of history, as is sadness and violence and testifying.
The newsguy usually tries to end the interview, but I keep talking. I say —
That Josephus can explain a lot, that the Romans were powerful, and that movies are propaganda. I say that it's hard to understand other people, that Gibson isn't interested in me, that young, impressionable kids had best watch out, and that it's strange how many ways there are for me to testify.
I say that this movie will come out, and that there will be offensive graffiti in the bathrooms in bars across America. I say that this movie will break sales records all over the place, and that most of the people who see it won't be inspired to read a book, much less the Good Book. Which is sad.
And I say I'll go see it.
But mostly, I say it's hard to be a Jewish woman, trying to understand the rigidity of fundamentalist Christianity. How can I explain it to the man on the phone? I say —
"You're a Christian, and whether you like it or not, Gibson has made a movie from your holy book. He has manipulated it and distorted it, but underneath his movie is still your Bible, the word of your God. And while he may be crazy, he's honest. He believes I'm going to Hell, because his Bible told him I'm going to Hell. He believes that most of the world is going to Hell, and that it's up to him to use his gifts, talents and power to save the world. So he made his movie.
"And if you think he's right, that I'm going to Hell, then you should be doing the same with your gifts and talents and power. If you love me and God, and if you want to do the work of the Lord.
"But Christ! please don't."

We've been trusting our skin to Kiehl's for years now, so when we stumbled across their Midnight Recovery Concentrate ($46-70), we were sold on the spot. Honestly, we're also sold by the idea that the elixir works its magic while we sleep. It appeals to our lazy sides; all we have to do is catch up on our Zs and in the morning, we'll be facing brighter complexions in the mirror.

While Brazil is better known for its collection of racy swimwear, and lends 'Rio' to the name of thong-style bikini bottoms, Colombia continues to try and give Brazil a run for the title of sexiest swimwear. One of the major players at Colombia Moda remains Paradizia.
The Ipanema line by Paradizia is a Colombian swimwear line with an Arabian flavor. Paisley prints and other Arabic inspired designs dominate the line again this year. Paradizia designs ladies swimwear, cover-up, beach accessories in addition to a children's line.
While the main headquarters are here in Colombia's fashion industry capitol, Medellin, Paradizia maintains an additional store in the beach playground of Cartagena as well as offices serving the United States, Asia and Europe. Paradizia can be found in over 25 countries.
Since 2008, Paradizia has made a splash on the covers of fashion magazines around the world including a feature in the June edition of Bazaar, as well as Seventeen magazine and the British edition of Vogue.
Celebrity Actress hits the runway
This year, Paradizia made a splash on the runway, with Colombian actress and singer, Carolina Guerra forming part of the line-up. The former (2005) Miss Bogota, currently hosts several programs including MTV's Rock Dinner as well as playing a character on the second season of Davinci's Demons.
While the designs presented this year are less glitzy than 2013, Ms. Guerra's presence added plenty of glam to the show.

Let $\Gamma$ and $\Psi$ be probability measures on $(\mathbb{R}, {\cal B}(\mathbb{R}))$ and construct a product probability space $(\mathbb{R}^2, {\cal B}(\mathbb{R^2}), \Gamma\otimes \Psi)$.
Consider the following two subspaces of $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2, {\cal B}(\mathbb{R^2}), \Gamma\otimes \Psi)$:
$$ A:= \left\{f(x) + g(y): f,g \text{ Borel-m'ble with} \int(f(x) + g(y))^2 d\Gamma(x)d\Psi(y)<\infty \right\}. $$ and $$ B:= \left\{f(x) + g(y): f,g \text{ continuous and bounded} \right\}. $$
My question: what is the closure of $A$ and $B$, respectively ?

Stylish Science Center Opens on East River
By A.D. Pruitt
With an ultra chic interior, leather-bound swings and a restaurant by "Top Chef" judge Tom Colicchio, parts of the new Alexandria Center for Life Science-New York City seem more like high-end hotel than a scientific research hub.
"We wanted cool," said Joel Marcus, chief executive of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, who developed the 310,000-square-foot building along the East River on 29th Street — once the location of an asbestos-laden laundromat.
He said that the lavish touches are a major draw for scientists and researchers who prefer a laid back atmosphere to a buttoned-down office environment. The facility has meeting rooms for receptions, weddings and parties and an audio visual wall in the lobby with moving images.
The center was formally christened Thursday in a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer. It's the first of three buildings to be completed for a planned "science park" that will span about one million square feet. Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly is the center's largest tenant, taking up about 90,000 square feet.
Marcus said because of the uncertain economy, his firm will wait until they can find anchor tenants before beginning construction on the other two towers. One part of the undeveloped site currently contains the unidentified remains of victims from the 9/11 terrorists attacks, which will be relocated to the World Trade Center memorial.
Marcus projected the two remaining buildings in the science park will be completed by 2017. Alexandria has committed $200 million to the development, while the city and state have kicked in about $40 million for infrastructure.

A skull found in College Point, NY on Jan. 19, 2014 may belong to missing autistic teen, Avonte Oquendo, according to DNAinfo New York.
Human remains and clothing that match what Avonte was wearing when he vanished months ago were discovered near the East River on Jan. 16.
Nevertheless, family attorney David Perecman told the New York Post he is concerned about the large pair of Fruit of the Loom underwear found on the body because Avonte did not wear a size "large" and only wore Hanes.
"If it is him, what that indicates to me is that something happened… Someone got a hold of him, moved him. I can't say they harmed him, but why would the underwear have gotten changed?" Perecman noted.
The boy's family is now waiting for DNA testing to be completed to find out if the discovered remains belong to Avonte, 14.
DNAinfo reports that police sources said the skull found Sunday is missing 10 teeth, which may affect the ability to use dental records for positive identification.
Avonte reportedly left his school on Oct. 4, 2013, and was last seen on surveillance footage that same day walking toward a park on the East River. He has not been since.

Dematic intends to acquire HK Systems
This afternoon, Dematic announced that it has signed an agreement in principle to acquire HK Systems. The transaction is expected to close sometime during the third quarter of 2010.
The combined companies would generate about $1.2 billion, based on the 2009 revenues both companies reported to us for our annual look at the Top 20 Systems Suppliers, published in May. Dematic was the number 3 provider worldwide with $1 billion. The combined companies would still rank below Daifuku, which reported about $1.76 billion.
Roar Isaksen, president and CEO of Dematic Group, sent out an e-mail this afternoon announcing the agreement. "We are very excited about this significant development," he wrote. "The opportunity to bring these companies together is extremely positive. Combining two successful companies like Dematic and HK Systems means we will be able to achieve extraordinary business results for our customers and our employees."
Isaksen continued that the merger will leverage the complementary technical strengths of both companies and bring together two players with strong engineering talent, a common vision and a common business strategy of delivering logistics solutions with a strong return on investment.
Neither company was available for comment, but I hope to have a one-on-one - or a two-on-one - briefing for a blog later this week or next.

The Texas Rangers opened the 2014 MLB season with a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Rangers three starters were Tanner Scheppers, Martin Perez and Robbie Ross. With most of the Rangers pitching stars injured, the Dallas Morning News reported on April 1 that Colby Lewis is trying to prove he is ready to return.
Colby Lewis threw an exhibition game for Double-A Frisco against Triple-A Round Rock. Forget the fact that it is s Triple-A team against a Double-A team, Lewis is trying to prove that he belongs in the majors and did nothing in this game to make the Rangers feel secure.
Lewis threw 92 pitches, which was a good sign, but gave up 10 hits and five runs against Triple-A hitters. The pitch count proves that he can still handle the workload of a major league game but those 10 hits are a cause for alarm. He also struck out five batters.
Lewis did not play in 2013 and underwent right hip resurfacing surgery, which is an alternative to hip replacement surgery. His lifetime ERA is a slightly high 4.76 and he has only had two winning seasons in his eight major league seasons. However, Texas fans remember him as a postseason star from 2010 where he went 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA in his four starts.
Texas now has to make a decision on whether they will bring him back up to the majors or let him go. They have until April 10 to call him up or he can leave via free agency. The choices are to give him one more minor league start or call him up immediately and put him in the Texas Rangers rotation.

Part One of a Three-part Set of Articles on Dwarfism
(original version appeared in Dog World, Dec. 1984)
(Warning: Pictures are slow to download. Please be patient.)
by Fred Lanting
Dwarfism is a condition of abnormally small stature, and usually is characterized by altered body proportions. Dachshunds, Basset Hounds, and Corgis are examples of achondroplastic dwarfs; they have more or less normal-sized torsos and heads but shortened limbs, and are accepted as typical of their breed. Alaskan Malamutes, on the other hand, are not considered acceptable if they have their particular blood cell related disease. In that breed, both achondroplastic dwarfism and hemolytic anemia are inherited as pleiotropic conditions, meaning a single gene giving multiple phenotype effects. Additionally, there are dwarfism abnormalities in other breeds such as pseudochondroplastic dysplasia in Miniature Poodles.
In the German Shepherd Dog, however, there is a little-known dwarfism that yields a nearly perfectly proportioned but considerably downsized version. An acceptable term to use would be proportional or pituitary dwarfs, even though all types of dwarfism have their origins in that gland. The fact is (or was until this article appeared), many do not know about the existence of this type of dog, even though it is not all that rare. Possibly because of the large-scale linebreeding by a West Coast kennel that produced winning dogs, the incidence rose for a number of years in the U.S. Due to linebreeding on certain British and German dogs, there was a noticeable number appearing both in England and Australia, countries which rely heavily on German lines. One genetic analysis of Australian data indicated that two dwarfs might be expected out of 1000 pups when "any dog" is bred to "any bitch". The recurrent risk for any dog or bitch bred to a parent of a dwarf is seven per 1000; a parent of a dwarf to a half-sibling of a dwarf is 272 per 1000; and parent of dwarf X parent of dwarf is 235 per 1000. The roughly 25% risk in the latter two matings is typical of what one would expect when two normal carriers of a simple Mendelian trait are bred to each other.
Of course, that 25% is an average. I recently (1984) examined pups from a litter of six in which three were pituitary dwarfs, but both parents were of normal size. Now remember, these were not abnormal in proportions, only in size and unseen body chemistry. The little Shepherds I examined that year had beautiful temperaments, and were active and apparently healthy at the time I first saw them at almost four months of age. They weighed about five pounds, while a normal littermate was about 32 pounds. There was something that had not appeared in the scientific literature but which I noticed in this litter, as well as in photographs of other litters: pituitary dwarfs seem to squint in bright sunlight more than do their normal siblings. Another facial characteristic of miniature Shepherds is a fox-like appearance, coming from wide-set ears. I believe this to be a result of disrupted proportions of skull vs. base of the pinna (ear shell), which to some extent is seen in Welsh Corgis also. A somewhat snipey (pointed) muzzle is due partly to a shortening of the skull and, in some individuals, a slight overbite.
Some non-show lines occasionally come up with pituitary dwarfs, such as the white German Shepherd bitch I found, who at two years of age weighed only 15 pounds (some get as heavy as 30 pounds or so, but most are smaller). Her skin was milk-chocolate in color, thin, wrinkled, dry, and lacking in elasticity or tone. She had almost no hair on the trunk, neck, and wear areas such as buttocks, etc. Primary or guard hairs were present on a few areas of the head and feet, and the rest of the body was either bald or lightly covered with secondary hairs (puppy fuzz or undercoat), which were easily pulled out with the fingers. All these signs are very common in these animals as adults, with the skin ranging from brown to gray in color. Dogs which would otherwise be plush or long-coats usually look like Chinese Crested Dogs — if they live to maturity — with feathery fringes around the ears and feet, and bald elsewhere unless treated with growth and/or thyroid hormones.
External or obvious characteristics aren't the only things different about pituitary dwarfs. Blood chemistry tests show that hormones that are supposed to be circulating may be absent or at very low levels. The methods are too involved to go into here, but briefly stated, there are ways to assay the activity of endocrine glands and amounts of their secretions. The hypophysis (commonly known as pituitary gland) is the "master" gland of the body, situated in the center of the head at the base of the brain. It produces a number of hormones, including GH (growth hormone). IFG (insulin-like growth factor) circulating in the blood is interdependent with GH. The pituitary gland is affected by others, but it is more the director of the body's other endocrine glands, such as the thyroids and gonads. The thyroids have a say in the maturing process, metabolism, development of form and behavior, and physical and mental activity. Muscular weakness and the skin/hair problems described above are due to inadequate or absent thyroid activity, which in turn is due to lack of proper direction from the pituitary. Your veterinarian can explain T3 and T4 to you if you wish to study thyroid function more fully.
The effects of this type of dwarfism can be mitigated or delayed by administration of thyroxine and GH, but this is a very expensive proposition at present. It is thought that if recombinant genetics (gene-splicing) and RNA production of human growth hormone becomes feasible, the price may go down. Dogs apparently respond to human GH, but not the other way around. Eventually, at the age of normal skeletal maturity or a bit later, the growth plates in the dwarf's bones close and no further growth is possible, regardless of GH injections. Another problem in treating the condition is that most owners don't present the pups to a veterinarian until their littermates are twice their size. The affected pup grows normally until three to eight weeks, when the brakes are applied and the normal siblings leave him behind in growth.
Although it is possible that pituitary dwarfism in the GSD is a polygenic disorder of a threshold nature, most investigators so far believe it a result of a simple autosomal (not sex-linked) recessive trait. In most characteristics inherited in this simple method, the recessive gene can be hidden for many generations before it is paired with another identical recessive gene. Genes operate in pairs, and only when both of the pair are the recessive alleles, does the trait manifest itself. When only one recessive gene exists, its dominant partner dictates the normal or dominant phenotype characteristic. It's like a Labrador Retriever that inherits one gene for black coat color and gets the recessive gene for yellow from his other parent. He himself is black, because that first gene is dominant over yellow and does not allow the yellow to predominate or show in the phenotype (appearance).
However, some recessive traits are only partially covered up by the dominant member of such a heterogenous gene pair. Often, one can see the faint hint of a saddle in a sable German Shepherd Dog which is heterogenous (has one sable gene and one black-and-tan gene). Similarly, it may be possible to "see" other recessives through the use of blood tests, examination of the eyes retina, etc. Achondroplastic dwarfism in the Malamute, for example, is connected with a blood cell disorder, both being pleiotropic results of the same defective gene. Because of the effect the pituitary has on thyroid function and on other glands, it may become possible to detect the "carriers" in a GSD litter among whose members some dwarfs have appeared. In a statistically typical litter of 12 produced by two normal-appearing carriers of the recessive gene, suppose three homozygous dwarfs and three pups without the gene. The other six are heterozygous carriers and appear normal (like their parents) but will contribute one recessive gene to each pup they produce in the future.
It is unfortunate that such abnormalities are often hidden from the public by breeders and owners who are fearful, mercenary, proud, or ignorant. Most pups are sold about the time the growth rate difference begins, so many cases reported to veterinarians have been "single incidences" as far as the buyers and their vets could tell. Others may be put down by embarrassed breeders who don't want it known they have produced such anomalies. Since the health of pituitary dwarfs is more precarious than that of normal pups, it can be assumed that many that die at birth, are resorbed during gestation, or die before the trait begins to appear, may be dwarfs. The Arkansas breeder who called me to ask what she had, and invited me to see them, upon discovering half her litter were dwarfs, decided not to put them down and cover up, but rather care for them and share their stories with responsible breeders and veterinary researchers. She even intended to train and show at least one in obedience and was, at this first writing, hoping to persuade the AKC that there are no rules against it. From such an openminded approach, we may be able to make an educated guess as to pedigree origin of the defect, plus discover some means of identifying normal-appearing carriers.
She even briefly entertained hopes to try breeding these
dwarfs with each other or with siblings or parents, trying to duplicate the occurrence.
I guessed (correctly) that she might find it difficult. Development of the
gonads varies from atrophied testicles and absence of estrus to normal
testicles and seasons. If she had been successful in reproducing the
condition, we may have seen the AKC faced with difficult decisions: they cannot
justify withholding registration privileges or show/trial eligibility because
of the pure pedigree, so do they create a separate variety within the breed, as
exists in Dachshunds, or a separate breed as they did with
One problem I can foresee in attempts at breeding these, besides lowered fertility, is whelping. Pituitary dwarfs start life off at normal size, which for a Shepherd is in the neighborhood of one pound, give or take about four or five ounces depending on the number of whelps. If a dwarf bitch were impregnated (artifically, of course) by a normal-sized carrier male, some of the whelps could be normal sized and the bitch would not be able to pass them or possibly even carry them without damage to them and/or herself. If a normal-sized carrier bitch were bred to a dwarf male, it shouldn't be any more of a problem than when two normal-sized dogs with the recessives are mated together. So far, nobody has engineered such a mating, to my knowledge.
Size of the dwarfs varies a great deal. As of this (1984) writing, the ones I have examined were 5.5 months old and weighed seven pounds. Others at skeletal maturity (when growth plates close and bones don't grow any longer) have been reported to weigh from under 15 pounds to slightly over 30 pounds. Normal weights for GSD bitches are 55-75 pounds, and for males 70-90 pounds. It's not unusual for a bitch to give birth to ten pounds of puppies, plus carry the extra weight of fluid and placental tissue. For a dwarf bitch, that percentage would be impossible, I would think.
The variable size of the pituitary dwarf Shepherds
reported so far is an indication of the possibilities that the trait
itself could be a threshold polygenic trait (unlikely), but the
variation could also result from modifier genes governing varying time of
growth cessation. There are some differences in absence, presence, or level of
growth hormone in untreated dwarfs, and those that grow to be larger than
others before the growth plates close may simply have
more GH. Since the "problem" has been swept under the rug so often, and is rare
enough to begin with, professors at veterinary colleges are in disagreement
over the meager information that is available. Thanks to the breeder in
This type of pituitary dwarfism involves the German Shepherd Dog, but a breed from the Russia-Finland border, called the Karelian Bear Dog, is also affected. The reason is that the Karelian (Finnish spelling is Carelian) has the GSD as part of its ancestry, and the affected individuals had some GSD carriers in their pedigrees. The scientific literature has reported one Yorkshire Terrier, one "Toy Pinscher", and two "Spitzes" as well, but it is highly doubtful that those are the same genetic defect. If I find several examples, as there are in the GSD, I'll withdraw my doubts.
Three littermates, two with the pituitary dwarfism defect. It is probable that the intermediate-size pup on the left was able to utilize more growth hormone and delay the closure of physes (ossification of cartilage).

TA Volunteer Agencies
Need Volunteers?
Sign up on the volunteermatch.org database. It's free for agencies, and always will be!
Here's how it works:
Tulsa Achieves worked with volunteermatch to create a custom database for TCC and the Tulsa Community. Any agency listed in the Tulsa Area will be automatically listed in the new TCC database. Here's what to do:
--Visit volunteermatch.org and create an account (the basic account is free, though agencies can sign up and pay to have additional features. Please note, agencies using only the basic account will be able to complete all tasks related to Tulsa Achieves, so a paid account is NOT necessary)
--Once you verify your agency, you can start posting Opportunities on the volunteermatch database. These will appear on the TCC/volunteermatch database that has been created, and our students will be able to find them.
--Students interested in your opportunity will "Sign Up", and once they have completed some hours, will be able to "Track" them. This is different from our old database, in that students will self-report their hours.
--When students have volunteered forty hours, they will be informed that they are eligible for "Rewards". As they submit their Rewards application, agencies with which they have volunteered will receive an email asking them to confirm or disconfirm the hours the student has Tracked. Once confirmed, the student's forty hours will be verified.

Dr. Suchit Poolthong, assistant professor and deputy dean for research and international affairs in the Faculty of Dentistry at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand, recently visited the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry as part of an informational exchange with school leaders.
The visit included a tour of the dental school's clinics and new oral surgery suites led by Dr. Eddie Hayashida, associate dean for Administration. Dr. Poolthong also met with Dr. Nader Nadershahi, associate dean for Academic Affairs, to discuss collaboration opportunities, learn about the Dugoni School of Dentistry's curriculum and share global perspectives on curricula development for dental education. Dr. Poolthong finished his visit with a meeting with Dr. Doug Young, professor of dental practice.
The visit included a gift exchange, with Dr. Poolthong bringing an emblem from Chulalongkorn University as a gift from his dean to the dental school. In return, the Dugoni School of Dentistry leaders presented him with a commemorative crystal emblem.
"These visits with our international colleagues help us create opportunities to share knowledge and resources, and ultimately raise standards in dental education globally," said Dr. Nader Nadershahi. "It was a pleasure meeting with Dr. Poolthong to learn more about dental education in Thailand and hear about some of the innovations taking place at his university."
The visit comes on the heels of a recent visit by Dean Patrick J. Ferrillo, Jr., to Chulalongkorn University as part of his trip to the 9th World Congress on Preventive Dentistry. The oldest university in Thailand, Chulalongkorn has 20 schools including its dental school.

Beta 3 doesn't bring a whole lot of exciting changes, but the biggest addition seems to be support for multitouch on Windows 7. That will probably be more appreciated when tablets flood the market, but as of now there aren't too many Windows users with touch displays -- at least not in the grand scheme of things. Mozilla has also tweaked the JavaScript engine and added support for 34 more languages.
Previous versions of the Firefox 4 beta should automatically update to beta 3, but you download a standalone installer here. At least two more betas are planned for the greatly overhauled browser, with the final build scheduled for November. Be sure to check out our compendium of Firefox 4 beta tweaks, and don't hesitate to share your own.
