Organized Medicine Warned on "Entrepreneurial" Guidelines
Professional medical societies should actively oppose legislative health care mandates that rely on clinical practice guidelines produced by "entrepreneurial activity," a commentary in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association argued. The article was triggered by the Screening for Heart Attack Prevention and Education (SHAPE) Task Force Report, which appeared in a Pfizer-funded supplement to the July 2006 American Journal of Cardiology. The SHAPE guideline called for non-invasive screening for "subclinical atherosclerosis" through tests such as ultrasound or CT scans for all men 45 to 75 and all women 55 to 75 who are considered more than minimally at risk for a heart attack or stroke. Legislation has been introduced in Texas that would require insurance companies to cover the tests.
The SHAPE task force was created by the Houston-based Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication, which was created in 2001 by Morteza Naghavi. He advises and receives research support from Pfizer, manufacturer of cholesterol-reducing Lipitor, and consults for and owns stock in Endothelix, which makes a fingertip thermal measuring device that purports to reveal heart attack risk. The FDA approved the device last November even though it has never been studied in a randomized clinical trial. Naghavi was also the lead writer on the SHAPE guideline. Twelve of 26 co-authors disclosed ties to drug and imaging equipment manufacturers. While the others claimed they had no financial ties to "a corporate organization or a manufacturer of a product discussed in this supplement," many had industrial ties on related subjects or are radiologists, who have a financial stake in increasing the number of cardiac imaging tests.
In his commentary, University of Michigan law professor Peter Jacobson called on the American College of Cardiology (ACC) to convene a consensus panel to determine the objectivity and scientific efficacy of the SHAPE guidelines. Previous reviews have concluded CT scans for measuring atherosclerosis are not superior to other diagnostic tests and generate a high rate of false positive results. After reviewing the conflicts of interest among the writers of the guideline, Jacobson called on organized medicine to develop criteria for acceptable clinical practice guidelines. "Only those guidelines that meet the criteria should be endorsed," he wrote. However, in an email to Integrity in Science Watch, he opposed banning conflicts of interest on CPG-writing panels. "I'm dubious that it's possible to find an expert committee to draft guidelines that has zero conflicts of interest," he said.
New EPA Assessment Reduces Acrylamide Risk
The Environmental Protection Agency's newly released toxicological assessment for acrylamide says that the chemical is less toxic than previously thought, and may assist the restaurant industry in its efforts to fight off state regulation of the chemical. Acrylamide, a commonly used industrial compound also formed from baking or frying food starch, is currently listed as a neurotoxin and probable human carcinogen. The California attorney general has sued to require labeling of fast foods under Proposition 65, the state's toxics labeling law. The assessment would raise the level of ingested acrylamide considered safe by a factor of 15 based on new studies that the agency claims prove acrylamide is less harmful than the agency reported in 1988. The assessment will be reviewed by a panel to which six scientists with ties to acrylamide-producing industries or other conflicts of interest have been nominated. The agency is expected to announce the committee's final membership this month and complete the assessment later this year.
Scientists Blast Proposed Change to Lead Standard
The Environmental Protection Agency's new proposal for changing the airborne lead standard has been harshly criticized by the agency's own scientists as lacking adequate scientific analysis, Science magazinereports. Rogene Henderson, chair of the agency's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), called the options contained in the proposal a "disaster" because they include industry's call to end the regulation of lead as an air pollutant under the agency's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). That proposal had already been floated by the agency in 2006 and rejected by EPA and CASAC scientists. The new proposal resurrects the idea without offering any scientific rationale.
The proposal is part of a five-year review of NAAQS pollutants required under the Clean Air Act. In 2006 the agency overhauled its process for completing the reviews. Members of CASAC and environmentalists, citing the lead proposal, maintain that the new process allows undue influence by industry and political appointees and excludes proper scientific analysis.
Ban on Wildlife Poisons Sought
The Environmental Protection Agency, prompted by environmental groups' petition backed by wildlife scientists, is considering a ban on two poisons used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services to kill wild mammals. The proposal would prohibit the agency from using sodium cyanide and sodium fluoroacetate to kill livestock predators such as coyotes and wolves. The livestock industry opposes the ban, although the environmental groups contend that predation accounts for only 0.18 percent of livestock losses. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) also has introduced legislation banning the poisons, citing their potential use as bioterror agents and their threat to humans, pets, and nontarget wildlife. Scientists say using poison is indiscriminate and ineffective at controlling predators in the wild.
Wildlife Services kills nearly 13,000 mammalian carnivores annually using the poisons, and spends nearly $109 million every year on lethal control of wildlife. Last fall the office, a unit within the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services, announced that it is undertaking a nationwide safety review of its operations, prompted in part by safety audits by USDA's Office of Inspector General. Comments on the EPA proposal are due tomorrow and may be filed under docket number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0944 at http://www.regulations.gov.
Congress Probes Jarvik's Role in Pfizer Lipitor Ads
The House Energy and Commerce Committee last week demanded Pfizer turn over all documents related to the company's use of Dr. Robert Jarvik in print and broadcast ads promoting its anti-cholesterol drug, Lipitor. Jarvik became a household name in 1982 as co-inventor of the world's first artificial heart. According to the Wikipedia, the University of Utah medical school graduate never completed his internship or residency and isn't licensed to practice medicine in the U.S. "Dr. Jarvik's appearance in the ads could influence consumers into taking the medical advice of someone who may not be licensed to practice medicine in the United States," said Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), who chairs the investigations subcommittee. "Americans with heart disease should make medical decisions based on consultations with their doctors, not on paid advertisements during a commercial break." Though Lipitor was the world's best selling drug in 2006 with $12.9 billion in sales, use is declining, and its basic patent expires in 2010.
Odds and Ends
Letters published last week in the British Medical Journal claim last fall's Royal College of General Practitioner's study showing women taking oral contraceptives are not at risk of cancer misinterpreted the data by excluding some women during the follow-up phase of the study. The study received funding from Wyeth Ayerst International, Ortho Cilag, and G.D. Searle, all one-time producers of oral contraceptives for women. . . .The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has postponed delivering its recommendation to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne on whether the polar bear should be listed as an endangered species; the polar bear would be the first species listed because of climate change. . . . A federal judge has imposed restrictions on the use of military sonar to protect endangered whales off the coast of Southern California, calling the Navy's existing mitigation measures "grossly inadequate to protect marine mammals from debilitating levels of sonar exposure." An article in Science magazine last week says that the ruling leaves many whales still vulnerable.

The showdown is the ultimate confrontation. It's when two opposing forces meet with the intention of only one side walking away in victory. It is a time mixed with both anxiety and remorse, but it is almost always a memorable moment.
In classic (or non-classic) films, the showdown is not always the climax. More often than not, it is that less spectacular but just as memorable moment when two entities face off in important plot manipulating moments. And this is where Great Showdowns the Return by Scott Campbell comes in. Published by Titan Books, this is a whimsically artistic compilation of some epic showdowns in film.
Great Showdowns is not just a recollection of violent quarrels. Oh sure, you'll find the bloody images from the standoff in Reservoir Dogs, the severed horse head from The Godfather and a heart ripped from the chest in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. How can images like this be whimsical? Scott Campbell has added his special touch to every entry. The smile.
Inanimate objects are not excluded from these emotional changes either. The keyboard Tom Hanks' character dances on in Big, the painting Cameron is absorbed into in Farris Bueller's Day Off, and the molecular transporter from The Fly find themselves adorned with smiles.
No matter what the situation is, the demeanor of the character in the original film, you will find the characters in these renditions possessing smiles. At first, this subtle yet mood altering difference may be a bit off-putting to the diehard fans of these films. But to those more indebted of the theatrical intensity of the moment, the alteration brings additional appreciation to the conflict of the original.
Great Showdowns the Return is the second installment by Scott Campbell and there are too many fantastic images to choose just which one(s) to show here. If you're a fan of the first, you'll definitely want to pick this one up. If not, this edition would be a fine place to start and discover the talent of Campbell.

On January 5th, 2013, a woman in McLennan County, Texas posted a picture on Facebook of a mouse closed inside a pickle jar. The image shows the mouse attempting to stay afloat in the jar filled with juice (part of this image has been blurred here for issues of decency).
The original image can be seen here.
She tagged her boyfriend in the image and included the caption,
"Update on our friend[.] The noodles are softening LOL[.] He is so trying to stay afloat!!! LOL"
This follows many recent examples of images posted on social media sites with similar content such as the puppy in a Ziplock bag and the woman holding a rifle to a puppy's head.
Advocates are calling for action in hopes that county sheriffs will take notice and investigate it as a case of animal cruelty. For those interested in helping advocates bring attention to this case, they may contact:

This package provides lightweight support for circular rings of window configurations. A window configuration is the layout of windows and associated buffers within a frame. There is always at least one configuration on the ring, the current configuration. You can create new configurations and cycle through the layouts in either direction. You can also delete configurations from the ring (except the last one of course!). Window configurations are named, and you can jump to and delete named configurations.
Window configuration rings are frame specific. That is, each frame has its own ring which can be cycled through independently of other frames.
You are always looking at the current window configuration for each frame,
which consists of the windows in the frame, the buffers in those windows, and
point in the current buffer. As you run commands such as C-x 4 b,
C-x 2, and C-x 0 you are modifying the current window
configuration. When you jump to a new configuration, the layout that existed
before the jump is captured, and the ring is rotated to the selected
configuration. Window configurations are captured with
current-window-configuration, however winring also saves point for the
current buffer.
To use, add the following to your initialization file:
Note that by default, this binds the winring keymap to the C-x 7
prefix, but you can change this by setting the value of
winring-keymap-prefix, before you call
The following commands are defined:
Create a new window configuration. The new configuration will contain a
single buffer, the one named in the variable
With C-u, winring prompts for the name of the new configuration. If
you don't use C-u the function in
winring-name-generator will be
called to get the new configuration's name.
Create a duplicate of the current window configuration. C-u has the same semantics as with C-x 7 c.
Jump to a named configuration (prompts for the name).
Kill the current window configuration and rotate to the previous layout on the ring. You cannot delete the last configuration in the ring. With C-u, prompts for the name of the configuration to kill.
Go to the next configuration on the ring.
Go to the previous configuration on the ring.
Note that the sequence `C-x 7 o C-x 7 p' is a no-op; it leaves you in the same configuration you were in before the sequence.
Rename the current window configuration.
Submit a bug report on winring.
Echo the winring version.
As mentioned, window configuration names can be displayed in the modeline.
The default value of
winring-show-names is currently
nil by
default. Set it to
t to activate. If you don't like the position in
the modeline where winring names are shown, you can change this by passing in
your own modeline hacker function to

A long long time ago there was a package called `wicos' written by Heikki Suopanki, which was based on yet another earlier package called `screens' also written by Suopanki. This in turn was based on the Unix tty session manager `screen' (unrelated to Emacs) by Oliver Laumann, Juergen Weigert, and Michael Schroeder.
Wicos essentially provided fancy handling for window configurations. I liked the basic ideas, but wicos broke with later versions of Emacs and XEmacs. I re-implemented just the functionality I wanted, simplifying things in the process, and porting the code to run with XEmacs 19 and 20, and Emacs 20 (I don't know if winring works in Emacs 19.34).
Wicos used the M-o prefix which I've recently changed to C-x 7 as the default, by suggestion of RMS. Wicos also had some support for multiple frames, and saving configurations on all visible frames, but it didn't work too well, and I like frame independent rings better.

I know of a few other related packages:
`escreen' by Noah Friedman. A much more ambitious package that does Emacs window session management. Very cool, but I wanted something more lightweight.
`wconfig' by Bob Weiner as part of Hyperbole. I think wconfig is similar in spirit to winring; it seems to have also have named window configurations, but not frame-specific window rings.
`winner' by Ivar Rummelhoff. This package comes with Emacs 20, and appears to differ from winring by providing undo/redo semantics to window configuration changes. winner is a minor mode and does seem to support frame-specific window rings.
window-xemacs' by the XEmacs Development Team. It appears that this package, which is specific to XEmacs (and perhaps just XEmacs 20) implements stacks of window configurations which are frame independent.
Please feel free to email me if my rendition of history, or my explanation of the related packages, is inaccurate.

Romantic reads are popular all year but especially around Valentine's Day. Many of these books are predictable. We feel that we have read the same story over and over. There are countless take offs on fairy tales, classic plays like Romeo and Juliet or iconic novels such as Wuthering Heights. After a while even the most avid romance reader wants a change of pace. Occasionally, a romantic book comes along with an unusual twist. But despite the unusual subject matter, these books often hold their own with the most highly praised traditional chick lit. There is something imaginative, unconventional, provocative or just plain bizarre in the mix. From well-loved classics like The Phantom of the Opera to romantic sci-fi epics such as The Time Machine or the quirky love story/recipe book Like Water for Chocolate these are some of the best romantic novels with a twist.
Sydney Opera House
The Doctor and the Diva: A Novel by Adrienne McDonnell tells the early twentieth century story of a fertility specialist who falls in love with a patient who is married opera singer.
The Light in The Piazza
As offbeat as it is touching, Elizabeth Spencer's novella The Light in the Piazza, focuses on a mentally challenged young woman who finds love in Italy. In the fifty plus years since its publication the story has been adapted into film and theater productions.
Burning Bright
The novel Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier is a romantic coming of age tale set in a working class section of London during the late18th century. The story is told from several perspectives but one sassy, streetwise con-artist's daughter, who carries a dark secret, manages to steal the show.
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux is a well-loved classic that has stood the test of time and has had even more success in film and on Broadway as an iconic musical.
The Time Machine
H.G. Wells' classic thriller appeals to more than sci-fi fans. The memorable romantic storyline is a powerful and important part of the plot. True love provides the motivation to travel back to the terrifying future and face the Morlocks.
Like Water for Chocolate
Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel is a very imaginative story set in Mexico that blends the love of food with romance. Readers learn just how expressive and sometimes powerful food can be in this tale about a woman who is forbidden to marry the man she loves because she is expected to take care of her aging mother.

The Montreal Alouettes picked a good time to put together their most complete effort of the season.
Six days after failing to clinch a playoff spot, the Alouettes kept their hopes for a home date alive with dominant 36-5 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday afternoon at Molson Stadium.
Montreal now sits two points back of second-place Hamilton ahead of Saturday's rematch in Guelph. A win there would give the Alouettes the advantage should the teams finish tied at season's end.
"I don't think it matters what we told them today; I think it matters what we told ourselves," middle linebacker Shea Emry said. "There have been a lot of games where we've come out and we've had leads like this and we've let them come back and get 15, 20 points. For the defence it was big and for an offence that was consistent today, we were really proud of them."
In his first CFL start, quarterback Troy Smith went 17-for-35 for 247 yards, a total that included a 64-yard toss to S.J. Green in the opening quarter that the slotback ran to the end zone for his 11th touchdown of the season – one of two he'd collect on the day. It set a new career high on that front and sent him past the 1,000-yard mark for the third straight year.
"To start off, I was anxious. The anxiety was set in, some of my throws were not the normal throws but the first completion to Bo Bowling was huge," said Smith, who threw three touchdowns. "Sometimes you just need something like that to get you going. That's playing quarterback – staying the course."
The insertion of Smith as starter was one of three notable roster moves by head coach Jim Popp for Sunday's tilt. He also slotted running back Tyrell Sutton to start ahead of Jerome Messam and added Bowling in as the primary returner. Bowling's return dropped struggling receiver Brandon London off the 42-man roster for the week.
The latter two moves also paid off, Sutton rushing for 84 yards on 13 carries, scoring his third touchdown of the season. Bowling, meanwhile, piled up 118 yards on returns, with 58 yards coming on a second quarter run.
"We just came out and executed the game plan. Troy did a great job of facilitating out there, getting the ball, spreading it out to everybody out there on the field and we just played an entire 60-minute game – offensively, defensively and special teams-wise," Sutton said. "We did a great job of putting an entire game together today."
A strong and consistent effort from the offence meant more downtime for the defence, a rarity this season. The brightest spot in a topsy-turvy campaign, the defence was notably fresh against the Tiger-Cats. Reigning offensive player of the week C.J. Gable failed to gain anything on the ground and managed just 39 yards on six catches.
The only offence the visitors could muster was a field goal, their other two points coming courtesy of a Sean Whyte safety touch. The five points allowed marked the first time since September 11, 2011 – also against Hamilton – that the Alouettes had held their opponent without a touchdown.
"That's what they've been doing all year," Sutton noted of the defensive unit. "The only reason that they've been giving up so many points is because our offence has been putting them in bad situations.
"We know that if we come out here and play the kind of game that we can play offensively, nobody stands a chance against our defence. We put our defence in great places special teams-wise and they put us in great places defensively. It was a well-oiled machine today."
A machine that will need to have plenty of oil on hand if it hopes to return to Molson Stadium this season.

It all started innocently enough less than two years ago when a woman in Farmington Hills, Michigan took pity on two stray female cats that were living outside in the cold. Michigan winters can be very brutal, so the woman brought the two cats into her home and began to care for them, according to the Facebook page for the no-kill shelter, Animal Welfare Society of Southwest Michigan.
It turned out that one of the two cats was pregnant, and soon she had the two original cats, plus one litter of kittens. Unfortunately, she did not get the entire bunch fixed so they wouldn't have kittens.
Fast forward less than two years, and the woman, whose name has not been released, has 143 cats and kittens in her home.
It's not unusual for a female cat to have three litters in a year. Most litters average from four to six kittens, and in six months those kittens can have kittens of their own. By now, readers may be wondering how this could happen, since she started out with two female cats. Well, cats aren't too picky about their mates, and needless to say most of the 143 cats are related, very closely related.
The woman assumed she'd be able to find homes for the cute kittens without much trouble. Unfortunately things didn't work out that way, and she ended up with a house full of cats and kittens.
What's unusual about this particular case is that the woman apparently took very good care of the kitties and realized she was in over her head. Spending $700 each week on pet food certainly qualifies as being over most people's heads. With 143 cats, she must have been spending almost all of her time cleaning the house, because from the photos it appears quite clean.
All of the cats have bright eyes and appear to be healthy and well socialized.
The woman contacted the Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan for help. When representatives of the organization went to visit, they were shocked by what they saw. Susan Edwards, president of the Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan, told the Daily Tribune:
"The house had turned into a house for cats. There were ropes hanging from the ceiling, cat toys and litter boxes. There were cats everywhere … although she had some rooms where there were no cats allowed. She had most of her furniture hidden in those rooms."
The Animal Welfare Society of Southwest Michigan is working with several other rescues to place these cats and kittens. These cats and kittens are fortunate. Most of the time it doesn't turn out this well.
In the meantime, take a lesson home from this. Spay and neuter. Spay and neuter early. Spay and neuter every single cat.

This year more than 13,000 women in Florida will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 2,000 will die.
Terry Yriondo of Panama City Beach is one of the survivors. She actually noticed the cancer herself in a lump on her breast and called her doctor the next day. She was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer on May 28, 1999 and started treatment within the week.
This February, it will be five years since her last cancer treatment. She says the best thing is to be aware of your health and do not be afraid to ask questions.
"Don't think what the first doctor tells you is gospel, find out everything you can, educate yourself. Get online, talk to people in support groups, learn the most you can about what you have and then make an educated decision based on what you know."
Here is a list of five things the American Cancer Society says are important when trying to understand breast cancer.

What is PROSPERITY MINDSET TRAINING?
Whining, blaming and complaining is costing American Businesses 300 BILLION Dollars a year in lost revenue. But if you've ever had to endure an employee or coworker with a negative attitude you already suspected that.
It's even worse with sales professionals. If a sales professional buys into "the worst economy since the Great Depression" and the idea that prospects no longer care about quality and service, skinny margins and low volume will define sales performance.
Yet many businesses and sales professionals are growing and thriving in this economy while others struggle to hold on. Why do you suppose that is?
The answer is simple really: It's about the beliefs and expectations that govern sales and business performance. If you think the economy sucks you are right. If you believe you can thrive and prosper in the face of the economy you are also right.
We are right 100% of the time because our thoughts drive our emotions which drive our actions which, of course, drive our business and sales results. Thats why our results are always a perfect reflection of our thoughts and expectations.
We all understand that our results are a reflection of our actions, but many of us fail to understand that our actions will not change until we change our emotions, and the emotions cannot change until the thoughts are changed. Until we address the key issue of our basic thoughts and beliefs we will continue to drown in a sea of poor sales and business performance.
The solution is Prosperity Mindset Training from Weldon Long.
Mr. Long is a successful entrepreneur, award-winning author and powerful speaker. He has perfected the craft of creating Prosperity Mindsets in thousand of sales and business professionals across the country.
In 2003, Mr. Long walked out of prison to a homeless shelter after 25 years of poverty, homelessness and addiction. Within 60 months he had built an Inc 5000 company with over $20,000,000 in revenue
How was this possible? How does a 3-time loser with a 9th grade education go from walking the yard in a high-security prison to walking the beaches of Maui virtually overnight? The answer lies within The Power of Consistency Prosperity Mindset Training.

Verizon Motorola Droid 3 now just $69.99 with new contract
Verizon's Motorola Droid 3 hasn't even been out for a full month, yet we've already seen some good deals on it at third party retailers such as Wirefly and Amazon. The latter of those looks like it wasn't satisfied offering the Droid 3 for just $149.99 with a new two-year contract (in fact $50 cheaper than the price at Verizon).
Amazon is now selling the Droid 3 for an amazingly low $69.99 if you aren't yet a Verizon customer and are willing to sign a new two-year service agreement. That's $130 cheaper than what Verizon itself still asks for this smartphone.
If you already have a Verizon contract and would like to upgrade to the Droid 3, it will cost you $129.99 for individual accounts, and $149.99 if you're on a family plan. Clearly the best deal is only available for new customers, but even these prices are quite a bit lower than what's usually seen for high-end Android smartphones.
We don't know how long this offer will last, so if you want to get an Android-powered superphone with a full physical QWERTY keyboard on Verizon and haven't yet bought a Droid 3, now may be the time to do just that. Head over to Amazon to place your order.
If you feel so inclined, you can also take a peek at what
Wirefly's got the Droid 3 going for as well.

YORKY CLUB MAGAZINE #5 -May 2006
A Tale of Tails - by Hugo Ibanez-Hornung
"What are little boys made of? Snip and snails, and puppy dog tails?", so goes the rhyme.
Seriously, one has to wonder – the American, UK as well as the Standard of many other countries indicate that the tail carriage of the Yorkshire Terrier "should be slightly higher than the level of the back". Then, it begs to question, why in the UK are Yorkies being shown with the tails down? Why in America, Latin America and Continental Europe are they shown with the tail in an upright position or as it is referred a gay tail (12:00 o'clock)? And to make matters more convoluted some European countries are not permitted to dock tails. The FCI has already changed the Standard for undocked tails: "Plenty of hair, darker blue in colour than the rest of the body, especially at the end of tail. Carried a little higher than the level of the back. As straight as possible. Length to give a well balanced appearance."
Most are not complying with the Standard. Some of us choose not to; others, have no choice.
"Since when have breeders, exhibitors or judges adhered to the Standard?" interjects Mark Burns, breeder/judge (UK) and adds: "Disregard for the Standard detail is an option when an improvement to a dog's "look" can be achieved". Well point taken. Bernice Unden, the veteran breeder, "Debonaire" (Sweden) echoes Mark, "A 12:00 o'clock tail set makes a Yorkie look more compact, better balanced and also shows spirit. It is easy to understand the disregard for the Standard just because of this".
In many parameters of dog breeding, the breeder may use his own discretion and artistic eye to achieve the balance he prefers while keeping the type and balance prescribed in the Standard.
Let's take another journey – a controversial one - no doubt. Let's hear what some of our successful and experienced breeders have to say. Hopefully, they will help us solve the puzzle, if not, indeed a mystery.
And a mystery is. In the UK, as one stated before, Yorkies are shown with the tails pushed down. It is quite intriguing. No one seems to have a clue as to why or when this fad began.
"Yorkies in England have been depicted with both gay tails and above the level of the top line since 1873. Arthur Wardler and Mrs. Foster's dogs have been shown with tails up or above the level" says Mrs. Joan Gordon "Wildweir".
One is left to speculate. Perhaps, breeders of modern times thought that pushing the tails down would give the awareness, the perception of compactness – short back. "Perhaps, in the UK we adhered to the tail carriage to promote and enhance the compact square shape", says Mark Burns.
In other words creating the same illusion as the gay tail.
The second and more controversial is that pushing down the tail helps to hide a low tail set and therefore, dissimulate the problem. "Maybe, because the croups are slightly rounder in England" concurs well known breeder/judge Markku Kipina "Majodian" (Finland), It has been speculated that English Yorkies have the propensity to have low tail sets; however, my partner Sergio who just attended Crufts this year (2006) informs me that the tail sets have improved tremendously. This is a good thing, since the UK won't be able to dock tails anymore. "long tails can only look good if Yorkies have a strong croup – good tail set" says the veteran breeder/judge Sonia Pagani "Bonsai" (Italy).
Back to America, Lat. Am. And Continental Europe: "Tail carried a little higher than the level of the back". Ancient history. "I don't feel it will ever be reversed (gay tails), because this feature has become what breeders look for: in turn, judges have learned (USA, Canada & Lat. Am.) to look for this too" Doreen Hubbard "Yorkboro".
The writer remembers, back in the 70's, there was an Am. Yorkie special winning big, Ch. Trivar's Sud Sipper. "Suds" most memorable characteristics were his super gay tail and perfect top line. I thought, then, that "Suds" was the precursor, the pioneer of gay tails. Not so, tells me the living Yorkie encyclopedia, Mrs. Gordon. "gay tails have been around forever with emphasis on level top lines it became more prevalent and with the number of Am. Yorkies being shown it became more visible".
Coincidentally, a similar occurrence was taking place in the UK. "In the 70's there was a bit of revolution in England caused by Ch. Blairsville Royal Seal (he was shown with gay tail). His appearance on the scene, change things." Bernice informs us.
Obviously, breeders realized that gay tails not only expressed the true terrier character but also makes them look more compact.
Many breeders in America feel that the Standard should be modified. Here to echo that feeling is Doreen: "Tail carried off the spine at 45 degrees to 12:00 o'clock high. The revised standard should also make a distinction between tail set and tail carriage".
Brenda Aloff, author of the wonderful book "Canine Body Language" states "If the tail is held erect and rigid, that is certainly dominant (Terrier character)". Further, she adds that it is important to leave the tail half on "so communication abilities are significant because he still signals most of his intentions."
This bring us to the length of the tail. Certainly tails have generally been lengthening in the past decade. One used to see tiny little buttons year ago. These are never seen anymore.
One can be sure that breeders were not thinking "communication". They were thinking balance, symmetry. In other words, a balance between the neck and the tail. It is a feature that is bound to stay.
Perhaps this feature will help us all to sort of reach a compromise, a bridge of goodwill, if you like, between us who "dock" and our European friends of "no dock".
By compromise one means that one should be tolerant. Yorkies coming from Europe with undocked tails should be judged for their merit and vice versa.
One finds disturbing that some European countries arbitrarily would not allowed Yorkies from countries which allow docked tails, to be shown in their countries. Why just not let the judge at the given show decide which is the Yorkie that fits best the Standard?
Finally, we get to the subject of undocked tails. The reality is that undocked tails are here to stay at least in European countries. "We are where we are and must look for the future" says Richard Haynes, breeder/judge "Eburacum" (UK). "We are used to long tails since 1989" reflects Bernice, referring to Scandinavia. More and more countries are following suit, including the UK. "Personal freedom is gradually being "curtaied" in many countries. It is not just the "bad guys" we have to look out for now as political correctness is supposed to be the product of the "good guys" " asserts Richard.
So, when and why did docking tails came about? "From time immemorial the right to shorten a puppy's tail to prevent damage or disease and later for aesthetic preference was given right" confirms Richard.
As Richard indicates – at the beginning – docking was done to prevent disease, how incredible! The writer remembers reading an article, stating that tails were originally docked in respond to an "old wives' tale" to prevent rabies and worms. It was also docked for practical reasons – to avoid damage. "I recall (reading) that in the early days the shortened tail was critical to the handlers getting the terrier off the cornered prey" Doreen, reminiscing.
This is a fact that was considered with Terriers. Terriers running through the bushes or in their homes had the predisposition to have their tail caught and be damaged.
To confirm, here is well-known breeder Beate Ackermann, "Camparis" (Germany). "Being a few years with 'long tails', we now know the reason why the Standard asks for docked tails. It is not simply for a 'better look', it is also for sure to protect the Yorkie from any tail accidents, and there are lots now".
The writer has heard some complaints in "sotto voce", murmurs, as if breeders don't want to admit this problem exists.
One has to admit that Yorkies are terriers. They are constantly active – playing or chasing birds, squirrels or a cat (mine chase my peacocks in the back yard). These are obviously opportunities to put them in harms way. One also has to consider that Yorkie tails are not thick, some seem to be more fragile than others. Another point to consider is that Yorkies have silky coats, the coat offers no protection and a final one, Yorkies are born with different lengths of tails, the longest are the more prone to have accidents.
Talking about protection, one must interject an interesting note here. As you know Germany is one country that does not allowed Yorkies be shown with docked tails even if they come from countries in which this practice is allowed. Well, the "German Animal Protection Law" allows dogs that are out hunting, the alternative to have their tails docked for protection. Does one smell here a double standard or what?
Let's back-pedal a bit. So, when did all this salsa about undocked tails begin? Talking about America and the UK, it all began one dreary day in the UK in 1989 when Dr. John Bower became president of the British Veterinary Association (JAVMA) and decide it would be a good idea to abolish cropped ears and docked tails. His position was crucial in getting in motion this proposal.
On the other side of the Atlantic almost simultaneously the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) had recommended to the American Kennel Club and the Appropriated Breed Association that action be taken to delete from the standards mention of cropped ears and docked tails that are born after a specific date.
Needless to say Dr. Brown found an ear. In America the AVMA never had a response from the Appropriated Breed Association and neither from AKC.
Dr. H. Powell Anderson from sunny Tampa, FL, owner of small animals practice was the maverick to go against the AVMA stance.
Due to their interest and their different views, JAVMA (UK) contacted Drs. Bower and Anderson and asked to voice their different views on cosmetic surgery.
Briefly, these are their opinions: Dr. Bower feels that dogs "use their tails for communication and a little for balance." But, Dr. Bower's main reason "I feel docking should be stopped because there is absolutely no benefit to the animal to have his tail removed." He continues "the operation also hurts a little bit, but the pain is transient, not serious, and it isn't the abolition of pain that makes me feel so strongly against it. It is really the fact that you are removing a perfectly normal part of the dog's anatomy that it was intended to have."
Dr. Anderson's rebuttal: "Cosmetic surgery is very definitely a part or should be a part of veterinarian's repertoire." And adds "people are becoming more and more concerned about aesthetics. People are having more eyes tucks, face-lifts and other kinds of cosmetic surgery. They are concerned about similar things in their animals." He goes on "Tail docking is usually done when puppies are born – I wonder if that would compare to make babies being circumcised". Dr. Anderson concludes "I was particularly shocked to find that the AVMA would take stance against cosmetic surgery, that would be like the American Dental Association taking a stance against braces on teeth. I can't imagine anything being as far out line".
So here we are. It is what it is. In the real world one has to deal with realities, and the reality is that we have to put up with docked and undocked tails.
Again, soft-pedaling back to undocked tails. As it was mentioned before the FCI has already changed the Standard to regulate undocked tails. Here it is again "Plenty of hair, darker in blue colour that the rest of the body, especially at the end of the tail. Carried a little higher than the level of the back. As straight as possible. Length to give a well balanced appearance."
Frankly, the writer does not see much difference than before. Breed Standards are like the Bible. Everyone interprets the same printed word a bit differently and sometimes very emotionally.
"Carried little higher than the level of the back" Here we are again, docked – undocked, upright position, 12:00 o'clock is here to stay. The problem one foresees is that gay tails are part of the dog's temperament and part of a technique of how to dock tails, so tails will be gay; obviously with undocked tails one has no choice. Undocked tails won't be able to control this aspect, unless the tail is naturally gay.
"As straight as possible", does it mean that the tail should look like a flag pole? The reality is that one sees undocked tails being carried like a Shih Tzu or a Maltese, some like a Cavalier and even some like a Beagle or an Afghan. The breeder has no control. Some tails appear to be very thin with not much hair, others are thick with density of hair almost like a plume. And finally the length of the tails are some short (good thing), others medium and some long.
It seems it would be very difficult to have a Standard with so many variables. One has to assume that ultimately it will be up to the judge to determine which dog personifies the Standard best.
Some one said "there is more to a dog then the tail". Of course, there is. No more to say that color and texture makes a Yorkie. One can not forget character, silhouette (tail), head and expression, movement and color and texture. All these elements constitute type and all are equally valuable.
A dog is the complex combination of conformation, compensation and cooperation to some degree or another.
Coda: After I have written this article, I found interesting information regarding short tails that our friends in Europe might find interesting and perhaps useful.
Three years ago The American Kennel Club (AKC) approved a new breed: The Toy Fox Terrier, an American breed. The TFC has been a breed for years before its approval.
I happen to own one. Her name is "Lola"; although, sometimes I feel she should be called "Lolita" (no pun intended). Seriously, breeders of the TFT have found that breeding short tail to short tail came up with "NB", natural Bob. "Bob", refers to naturally smaller length tails. (Cats with no tails are referred to as Bob tails); however, breeders found out that if you over do it, one will have spine problems.
By the way, when one reads a TFT pedigree, there is BT besides the dog.

Working Mother Names Bon Secours Richmond to its 100 Best Companies
Health system honored for 15th consecutive year for support of work-life balance

Bon Secours Richmond Health System has been named to the Working Mother 100 Best Companies list for the 15th consecutive year. The Working Mother 100 Best Companies list promotes the interests of working mothers by honoring companies that successfully help employees integrate home and work. Bon Secours Richmond was recognized for its commitment to work-life balance and leadership opportunities for working mothers within the health system.

With 76% of baby boomers wanting to work flexible jobs as they enter retirement and 79% of mothers wanting to work fewer than 40 hours/week it is no wonder that flexibility has become a hot topic in the workplace. Companies that have heeded their workers requests are winning… 13 of 15 companies that won the Wall Street Journal's 2008 Top Small Workplaces offer flexible work options. Also a look at any of the "Best Places to Work…" lists shows a familiar theme – these companies offer their employees some form of flexibility like reduced work weeks, telecommuting, job share programs, sabbaticals and generous maternity and paternity leaves.
Flexibility cannot be a one way street, however. Employees need to understand that with flexible work conditions come expectations… that work will be completed well and on time, that a reduced salary may be needed in return for reduced hours, and that employees need to be available when they say they will be.
Career Life Connection provides a place for employers and employees to discuss the subject of flexibility in the workplace and aims to specifically:
Connect educated, experienced individuals with corporations who take their business seriously while understanding the need their employees have to balance personal commitments and passions.
Connect individuals who would like to break out of the traditional workweek with others who have done so successfully.
Connect HR professionals who are seeking to attract and retain talent through better work-life policies with experienced HR people who have had success doing so.
Provide resources to foster flexibility in today's workplace allowing for fulfilling careers and more balanced lives.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Charlotte rallied back after dropping the doubles point and used Tyler Baker's 3-6, 7-6, 6-4 victory over Danielle Terpko in a No. 4 singles match to earn a 4-3 non-conference win over East Carolina Friday afternoon at the ECU Tennis Complex.
The 49ers, who won for the fourth-straight time, improved to 6-1 with the triumph while the setback dropped the Pirates' record to 4-2.
In addition to bouncing back from a first-set loss, Baker survived five match-point serves in the second set before outlasting Terpko in what proved to be the clincher. Moments earlier, ECU's Neena Wanko used three sets to dismiss Natsuko Takayanagi 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 to even the match at 3-3.
ECU used victories by tandems Dana Gray and Terpko at the No. 3 position and Abby Richmond and Wanko at No. 2 to capture the doubles point and establish an early 1-0 edge. Gray and Terpko upped their record to 2-0 this spring after posting an 8-2 win over Baker and Jessica Pérez, while Richmond and Wanko downed Takayanagi and Alexandra Zinn 8-4 for their first pairs triumph of the season.
Junior Melis Tanik opened singles play by defeating Lisa Grosselius 6-1, 6-3 at No. 3 to push the Pirate lead to 2-0 before the 49ers tallied three consecutive victories at the No. 1, No. 5 and No. 6 slots for a 3-2 edge and set the stage for the pair of three-set affairs.

When I leave my laptop for a while, after it blacks the screen (as I configured XScreensaver to do), when I return, it awakens to the login screen. When I login, there is no trace of my previous session. If I open Update Manager afterwards and it had been performing and update, it says something about a partially performed update, but doesn't go about updating; it doesn't say broken packages.
This is on clean installs (except for an update manager run) of both Linux Mint 10 LXDE and Lubuntu 10.04 LTS. It didn't happen on Debian LXDE but I hadn't connected that to the internet to do an update.

How can I stop this? Is this a hardware issue? Is this an issue with Ubuntu? X.org?

On The Glass

Aminah Williams is having another tremendous season on the glass, averaging 10.5 rebounds per game. Talia Walton is adding 7.8 rebounds per game, while the additions of Katie Collier and Chantel Osahor to the roster give Washington much more frontcourt depth than they had last season. Osahor averaged 4.5 rebound per game in Pac-12 play, despite playing just 14.5 minutes per game.

The Dawgs are taking advantage of their free throws, shooting 71.1 percent, while their opponents are at just 63.8 percent.

This river and its tributaries have been important agents in the distribution of placer gold throughout the country.
The length of the Klamath is some 362 miles, the average grade being 12 feet to the mile,70 miles of which is in Siskiyou County.
Gold is found wherever the river has deposited gravel, whether it be in an old channel a thousand feet above the present stream, or in the river bottom. Below the mouth of Scott River it has cut its way
At Oak Bar, Happy Camp, Hamburg Bar, Orleans Bar and a few other points, the mountains recede far enough from the stream to admit of a few acres of level land being farmed; the rest of the country is too steep for cultivation.
Scott River
Scott River, one of the important tributaries of the Klamath, enters this stream in Sec. 6, T. 45 N., R. 10 W., M.D.M., at an elevation of 1650 feet above sea level.
It has a length of 61 miles, an average course of 20' to the northwest, and is fed by a watershed area of 812 square miles, with 26 miles of tributaries.
This stream flows through the mineral districts of Oro Fino, Quartz Valley, Callahan and Scott Bar In the vicinity of Callahan, on the headwaters of this stream and especially on the South Fork, rich deposits of gravel are found.
The lower end of the river, for about 4 miles above its mouth, runs through a canyon, and here gold is found in the benches on the hillsides and in bars in the river.

Indian Creek
Indian Creek, a tributary to the Klamath River, rises in the lofty snow-clad peaks of the Siskiyou Mountain Range, near the boundary line between California and Oregon.
Placer deposits are found along the entire length of Indian Creek. Happy Camp, a village on the west bank of the Klamath River at the junction of the Klamath and Indian Creek, is the distributing point for the country generally between Hamburg and Orleans Bar.
Beaver Creek
This stream, a tributary to the Klamath River, rises in the Siskiyou Mountain Range, near Mount Sterling. It has a length of 12 miles, a general southwesterly course and is fed by the north and south forks of Hungary (sic) Creek, Bumble Bee, West Fork of Beaver and other smaller creeks.
Placer mining has been pursued along these creeks for the past forty years, and although worked in a crude way considerable gold has been produced.
Hamburg Creek

One claim of less than 7 acres has been constantly worked for the last thirty-five years, the output to date exceeding $260,000.
Barkhouse, the next creek below Little Humbug, has also been a noted producer, but mining operations are limited on account of the scarcity of water.

I have an HP Laserjet 8100DN, which is decent workgroup printer with 20,000 page cartridges.
This is a not a color printer, but I could really use the ability to print just with a single color toner.
A quick Google search shows that nobody makes a compatible toner cartridge with anything other than black toner.
I am aware that many companies sell "toner refill kits" in which you squirt toner into an empty cartridge. I have never personally used a refill system.
So, is there any reason you know that it would NOT work to refill my toner cartridge with cyan, yellow, or magenta? Is the toner powder itself one of several varieties that may end up destroying my printer if I use the wrong kind?
