Hidden in a tranquil valley garden, just yards from the stunning beach on the North Cornwall Coast, these detached holiday properties nestle within a secret huddle of distinctively chic, self-catering holiday properties. Unique with lush interiors and designer furniture, The Park has a wide range of properties. At The Park, luxury goes hand-in-hand and no two holiday homes are the same. There are stylish lodges and cosy cottages, all nestled in 26 acres of tranquil gardens.There are many things on The Park to help you design your own adventure and create lasting memories in Cornwall. Float in one of the two swimming pools, let off steam in the spa or lounge in the café. There's also a children's play area, table tennis and DVD library. The grounds offer secret sun traps, hidden pathways and fruit and herb gardens, which guests are free to take produce from. The on-site café, in the heart of The Park, provides fresh, toothsome meals every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are also snacks and drinks too, and for the little ones, there's a children's menu with healthy family favourites. Because the reputation for excellence has become well-known across Cornwall, the café is open to non-residents too. Next to the café are the heated indoor pool, sauna and steam room. Outside, there's another heated pool in a south-facing garden with views across the valley, complete with a bar serving food and drinks throughout the summer.With on-site play areas and an ample supply of beaches and family attractions nearby, Cornwall is where family memories are made.

"Character cottages in a countryside setting, ideal for an activity-filled family holiday.."
In glorious Cornish countryside on the edge of the pretty village of Tresmeer, just 6 miles from Launceston, the ancient capital of Cornwall, and 10 miles from the stunning North Cornish Coast, Higher Churchtown Farm offers the ideal holiday location for friends and family to escape and unwind or as a wedding venue as the owners have been granted a licence to conduct weddings on site.Set beside the historic village church and with glorious views reaching to Dartmoor, these four delightful converted barns are very spacious and beautifully presented with oak furniture, underfloor heating on the ground floors and heated towel rails in most of the bathrooms. They retain much of their original charm with vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls and beams. Kettle's On is a detached single-storey barn with its own rear garden; each of the others has its own small patio and all enjoy shared use of a large garden area with 18ft circular above-ground swimming pool (summer only) and an additional ½-acre games field which provides a great place for children to play. For amusement indoors, a selection of reading material is also provided, together with games, puzzles, DVDs and a 42in television. The largest of the barns also has its own games room with pool table, darts and board games. A local artist displays her work in the barns of scenes around Cornwall, which can be purchased and taken home as a memento. Lambing also takes place on the farm during the first few months of the year up to the beginning of April.Whether surfing, walking the coastal path, playing golf, fishing or simply relaxing this stunning location has something for everyone. Riding, cycling and walking trails are in abundance including a lovely riverside walk from the barns across the owners' farmland. This really is a superb holiday choice for friends, families or when booked as a whole for a celebration gathering. Launceston has a good selection of local shops, town amenities, and restaurants. Family attractions include Trethorne Leisure Park and Golf Club, Harlequins Bude, Crealy Adventure Park, Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium. Ideally situated to visit the North Cornwall coastal resorts of Tintagel, Boscastle, Port Isaac and Padstow. For a great day out, enjoy the famous Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Shop 440 yards, pub and restaurant 4 miles.

Acoustic source localization
Acoustic source localization[1] is the task of locating a sound source given measurements of the sound field. The sound field can be described using physical quantities like sound pressure and particle velocity. By measuring these properties it is (indirectly) possible to obtain a source direction.
Traditionally sound pressure is measured using microphones. Microphones have a polar pattern describing their sensitivity as a function of the direction of the incident sound. Many microphones have an omnidirectional polar pattern which means their sensitivity is independent of the direction of the incident sound. Microphones with other polar patterns exist that are more sensitive in a certain direction. This however is still no solution for the sound localization problem as one tries to determine either an exact direction, or a point of origin. Besides considering microphones that measure sound pressure, it is also possible to use a particle velocity probe to measure the acoustic particle velocity directly. The particle velocity is another quantity related to acoustic waves however, unlike sound pressure, particle velocity is a vector. By measuring particle velocity one obtains a source direction directly. Other more complicated methods using multiple sensors is also possible. Many of these methods use the time difference of arrival (TDOA) technique.
Some have termed acoustic source localization an "inverse problem" in that the measured sound field is translated to the position of the sound source.
Different methods for obtaining either source direction or source location are possible.
Particle velocity or intensity vector[edit]
The simplest but still a relatively new method is to measure the acoustic particle velocity using a particle velocity probe. The particle velocity is a vector and thus also contains directional information.
Time difference of arrival[edit]
The traditional method to obtain the source direction is using the time difference of arrival (TDOA) method. This method can be used with pressure microphones as well as with particle velocity probes.
With a sensor array (for instance a microphone array) consisting of at least two probes it is possible to obtain the source direction using the cross-correlation function between each probes' signal. The cross-correlation function between two microphones is defined as
which defines the level of correlation between the outputs of two sensors and . In general, a higher level of correlation means that the argument is relatively close to the actual time-difference-of-arrival. For two sensors next to each other the TDOA is given by
where is the speed of sound in the medium surrounding the sensors and the source.
A well-known example of TDOA is the interaural time difference. The interaural time difference is the difference in arrival time of a sound between two ears. The interaural time difference is given by
- is the time difference in seconds
- is the distance between the two sensors (ears) in meters
- is the angle between the baseline of the sensors (ears) and the incident sound, in degrees
In trigonometry and geometry, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly (trilateration). The point can then be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known side and two known angles.
For acoustic localization this means that if the source direction is measured at two or more locations in space, it is possible to triangulate its location.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

All change at Oldham
Simon Corney has taken over as chairman of Oldham Athletic after Simon Blitz left the club, along with director Danny Gazal.
Blitz cited personal and economic pressures for ending his seven-year association with the Latics after reportedly running up an eight-figure loss in that time.
Blitz said: "I don't feel I'm able to give the supporters the contribution they are looking for in the future."
Blitz, Gazal and Corney saved the club in 2003. Blitz said: "Last season I invested a further substantial amount of money into the club and with reduced income from season ticket sales this summer, the demands on me were becoming too great.
"I have met lots of nice people and enjoyed my time, but have found it a constant battle and uphill struggle in more recent times," said Blitz who along with Gazal will retain his shares in the club.
Corney insists the club's future is not at risk. "There's no immediate danger to the club. I hope the fans stick with us because we've had crises before and we'll get through this one.
"We have prepared our budget for the season, know our income and are also seeking other sources of income and means of financing the club. We are also talking to potential investors, but they have to be the right people to take the club forward."
Meanwhile, Joe Jacobson has been released by Oldham Athletic.
The former Wales Under 21 captain suffered an injury-plagued campaign and was told that he can leave the club by new manager Paul Dickov.

PM (short for Puerto Madero) is absolutely beautiful in a urban-rustic way that suits its Buenos Aires namesake. The building, a mix of red brick and hand-hewn keystone accented with iron and wood, looks as if it could be rehabbed warehouse on the waterfront. But that is where the Argentine comparison ends. Besides the gorgeous décor, which includes what must be more than a thousand bottles of wine in shiny floor-to-ceiling vaults, I am hard-pressed to find redeeming qualities in this Brickell area newcomer.

Jodha Akbar: 29th April; Maha Manga Caught Read Handed, Jalal Disowns Her!
Jodha Akbar 29th April written episode: Shahnaz comes to Jodha and counsels her, giving an example of rose. She explains that one cannot be away from the beauty and fragrance of a rose, due to an occasional pain from a thorn. In the same way, Jodha should not stay away from Akbar for a single mistake, if she has ever seen any good quality in him. She gives a piece of cloth to Jodha, that Akbar has left in his room.
Adgar Khan meets Akbar on an urgent basis and informs about the complaint of Atmad Khan. Akbar initially bursts on him, as he is complaining against his Badi Ammi. Adgar tells him that he can give him death penalty, if the complaint is proved wrong.
Akbar calls Maha Manga urgently and interrogates her. She denies knowing the fact that the eunuch was Sujhamal. Akbar calls original Dilawar; Maha Manga says that she canceled his candidature as she didn't like him.
Next Akbar calls the messenger who was appointed by Maha Manga to inform Akbar that Sujhamal was out of Agra. The man utters the truth that Maha Manga compelled him in telling the lie, giving life threat. Akbar clearly understands that it was Maha Manga's plan to put Jodha down in his eyes.
Maha Manga understands that no more she can hide her plans. She admits making the plots to retain her power. She says that she could never bear Akbar's love for Jodha.
Maha Manga accuses Akbar of depriving her. She mentions that it is she and Bairam Khan, who have made Akbar what he is. They have brought him up, groomed him and saved him from the enemies. But Akbar has done nothing in return, complains Maha Manga.
Maha Manga declares that she cannot accept a fate like Bairam Khan, who has been sent to Mecca, to live a pitiable life. She is even ready to accept death or to sacrifice her post, but she will never be repentant for what she has done!
Akbar utters that neither he will kill Maha Manga, nor will sack her, but no more he will be her son!

|Reviews for Dream Until Your Dream Comes True
| Guest chapter 1 . 11/7/2015
oh gosh...this is so sad but so good! Beautifully tragic, thank you
| wanda lensherr chapter 1 . 6/1/2015
So tragic
| Milton Perry chapter 1 . 1/3/2013
A very spooky short story about violence and abuse. You got me, I never guessed what it really was all about - until I finished reading. Great story. So hair-raisingly frightening it made my blood run cold.
| celticmusebooks chapter 1 . 6/24/2012
Dark and delicious fic. Loved the buildup up loved the twist at the end.
| Spockchick chapter 1 . 3/24/2011
Holy hell in a handbasket! That was outstanding. It completely took my breath away, and the twist at the end was a total heartbreaker. I don't want to spoil in case others read the reviews, but the inversion here was brilliantly done. Wow.
| eve chapter 1 . 6/5/2010
a realistic point of wiew to the so called "binding of minds", especially between people with so unbalanced capabilities. the plot twist at the end was good also. a very good story I should say, so thank you for your work.
| magnolia chapter 1 . 5/25/2009
this fic is the most unusual and disturbing one of spock / chris- centric ones i ever read... and it is the best i've ever read! great work! absolutely. please go one writing and give me more of this! damn good work!
| Clio Trismegista chapter 1 . 5/18/2009
Wonderful tale. It's a truly description of two conflitant personalities. Put this one like a fav.
| Antidaeophobia chapter 1 . 2/7/2007
This is awesome. Very dark, but I love it anyway.
| troesnaja chapter 1 . 4/24/2005
WOW this was a dark and ugly little fic. I liked it though it was realistic somehow a little bit confising though was she in a coma an dreaming about what real life would be like? I really hope he loves her, but i guess its difficult he being a vulcan with all the difference in culture.
| Loptr chapter 1 . 12/23/2004
I haven't cried over a fanfiction in a long time but by god was that a tear jerker. One of your best no matter how dark and sad it was. You just have a knack for making it beleiveable and the charecters so real, when you do this to them it breaks my heart. Beautifully done, your one of the best writers for this pairing.
| Kittenmommy chapter 1 . 9/8/2003
*blinkblink* Oh wow, this is SOMETHING!
| audania chapter 1 . 8/9/2003
I liked this story alot. Probably exactly what Christine would've gone through if her and Spock had married. I am confused, however, about the turnaround to Spock's POV. She says that when he threw her against the wall, she was angry - but not seriously injured - but Spocks POV states that he is sorry he put her in a coma when he threw her against the wall. Were there two seperate occasions that he did this?
| TeaRoses chapter 1 . 6/18/2003
Years ago I loved this show (and this pairing, however sadly it is presented here) and I never read fanfics for it. But I bet they weren't this dark and good. This was excellent! I'm off to read another of your fics and cheer up.
| gtovarish chapter 1 . 6/18/2003
another great story (i read 'frosbite'). you flesh out the characters so well, just enough. it was heartbreaking, but i put this story on my fav stories list anyway. i hope you use these characters often.

The area sees millions of visitors each year, looking for the best slopes and seeking out the best accommodations available.

Squamish bed and breakfasts, hotels and motels along B.C.'s scenic Highway 99 are gearing up for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Hwy. 99 accommodations promise a budget alternative to the higher cost of Whistler hotels, b&bs and motels. Road construction crews are already taking advantage of Squamish cheap hotel rates. Squamish is positioned on Highway 99, halfway between Vancouver and Whistler, ideally situated for attending Olympic venues in both locations. If you're skiing in Whistler this winter, consider staying in a Highway 99 hotel, motel or B&B. Squamish offers world class rock climbing, mountain biking, wind surfing and kite boarding….
Squamish Hotels & Motels – Budget Accommodation for Whistler Skiing

Many Whistler skiiers and snowboarders have discovered that the best way to ski on a budget in Whistler is to stay in nearby Squamish. If you have your own vehicle you can drive into Whistler each day. It's about 45 minutes each way. Or take the convenient shuttle. It's a beautiful drive through one of the most spectacular winter wonderlands on earth. The Tantalus mountains are breathtaking and streams and rivers weave their way through snow-covered forests. It's pretty much impossible to find Whistler hotel rates starting at only $65.00/night. Availability and selection are better in Squamish and Squamish offers…

They will never tell you who their bank is because they do not have one, norare they capable of securing a loan for your projects.
They tell you they have an investor to secure the principle loan but you are responsible for the interest payments and its not their responsibility; they will string you along with excuses after excuses and delays after delays until youre tired of it all and give up or go away.
Think about it, if they have the investor to secure the principle loan, would they not use the same collateral to secure your interest payments. Even if they lower the principle loan so there is enough equity on the collateral to secure the interest payments so they could close the loan application for you.
They will tell you it was your fault because you failed to perform to secure the interest payment. This has happened to everyone I have spoken to that has paid their fees to AHEB.

Mark Baden's Forecast
Your weather watch forecast with chief meteorologist Mark Baden.
James: What does it mean when someone changes their mind about something? In the real world it means more information has come your way to cause you to change your mind. In the world of politics it means you flip-flopped.What this means is for reasons of their own the politician has changed their mind on an issue. Sometime it is because new information has been made available that changes everything and other times it the politician merely telling the public what he or she thinks they want to hear. The later is something Hillary Clinton is notorious for. Trump on the other hand will change his mind on an issue for two reasons, new information made available or the will of the people, as in the majority of the people of this country opposing his idea for addressing a major issue and want him to change it. Unlike Obama and Hillary, Trump will always put the will of the people before his own political views.

About 70 dogs die in Texas shelter fire
About 70 shelter dogs were killed in a fire at the Humane Society of Southeast Texas.
About 200 animals were being housed at the shelter and, according to various reports, anywhere between 67 and 74 of them died in the Tuesday night fire, all of them dogs.
Beaumont Fire Department Captain Brad Penisson told KHOU the fire was apparently sparked by malfunctioning dryer.
The Humane Society of Southeast Texas reported what happened early yesterday on its Facebook page.
"It is with heavy hearts that we must inform you of the great loss we suffered tonight. Earlier this evening our facility caught on fire. Though the fire and police department did everything in their power to save all of our animals a total of 67 dogs died in the fire.
"There are no words to describe the pain we are feeling right now. Thank you to all of the staff, volunteers, veterinarians, and service men and women who came and assisted us tonight. We will be walking through the shelter in the morning to assess the damage and to make decisions on the best way to move forward."
While foster homes have been found for the cats and the 11 dogs that survived, the society is taking names of those interested, and it is accepting donations to help in recovery efforts.
Donations of money can be made through The Humane Society of Southeast Texas website.
These scenes of the fire's aftermath are from a Beaumont Enterprise photo gallery.

100 rescue dogs survive truck accident
They might not admit it, but sometimes even rescuers need to be rescued.
A truck from the rescue and transport organization Tall Tails jackknifed on Interstate 70 in Colorado Thursday, but no one — including the 100 dogs aboard — was injured.
The organization was transporting the dogs from high-kill shelters in Texas to animal rescue centers in the Seattle area, where they have a better chance of being adopted.
The truck jackknifed and ran off the highway on snowy Vail Pass, but what could have been a tragedy turned out to have a pretty happy ending.
Between Eagle County Animal Shelter and Services springing into action, and an outpouring of help from volunteers, all the dogs were kept warm and fed and exercised until a new truck arrived to transport 84 of the dogs to the final destination.
The others were adopted during the unexpected layover in Eagle County.
After the accident, the dogs were taken to the Eagle Fairgrounds' Eagle River Center where 150 volunteers came out to care for the animals during their 36-hour stay.
Many more donated food, towels, and toys.
"The response was unbelievable when we put up a brief Facebook post asking for folks to come help," Daniel Ettinger, manager of Eagle County Animal Shelter and Services told KOMO News. "We actually had a line out the door of people that wanted to come walk or clean. It was just unbelievable."
At least 14 of dogs were adopted while at the fairgrounds.
The rest safely finished the journey to Seattle in a heated horse trailer.

Pleeeeeeeze don't leave me here …
Two days before Thanksgiving, a woman brought this dog to the Collin County Animal Shelter in McKinney, Texas, saying she'd found her on the street.
The woman later walked out, but not before the young pup wrapped her front paws tightly around her leg, as if to say, "No, please don't leave me here."
The gesture was captured in a photo.
It hasn't gone as viral as those hugging death row dogs, but give it time. It's one of those photos that says so much more than mere words ever could.
Given the kill shelter is full, the fearful dog's outlook wasn't too good when she arrived.
But the League of Animal Protectors (LAP), an animal rescue organization, has promised to pull the dog — said to be a Great Pyrenees/Australian shepherd mix — before her time at the shelter before her time runs out.
(She doesn't have a name yet, but we'd suggest Corporal Clinger.)
LAP posted the photo on its Facebook page with a note saying the "sweet terrified" dog needed a "Thanksgiving miracle."
The organization is trying to find her a foster home, and a forever home, as well — assuming she doesn't get adopted while still at the county shelter.
For more information, contact LAP at email@example.com, or Collin County Animal Services at email@example.com. The shelter is closed today and over the weekend, but will reopen Monday.

After floods in Texas, a pit bull named Thor ended up in California; now he's back home
A pit bull separated from his family when they evacuated during the summer floods in Texas miraculously surfaced in northern California in September.
And as of yesterday, Thor was back home — thanks to help from strangers who heard about his story.
Eddie Hurtado and his family evacuated their home in San Marcos during the floods in late May, planning to return for their three dogs.
Two were found shortly after they returned, but not Thor.
Somehow, he ended up more than 2,000 miles away.
A police officer picked Thor up in Crescent City after seeing him jump from the back of a pickup truck. The officer brought the dog to the local animal shelter, where he was checked for a microchip.
That confirmed the dog was Thor, but Hurtado didn't have the money to bring him home.
"We're having to replace all the furniture and all the appliances and right now we don't have any extra cash to try to get him down here," he said.
After Thor's story was aired on KEYE in Austin, and shared on social media, people stepped forward to help cover the cost.
"We ran the story on Thor at 6 p.m. and by 10 p.m. we had a shipper offering to ship the dog at a third of what Eddie had been quoted and we had viewers lined up to cover the cost. So Thor is coming home," said Fred Cantú, a KEYE reporter.
"Most police versus pitbull encounters don't have a happy ending," he added. "Nice to be able to share this one."
More offers of help came from California after the The Daily Triplicate published a story about Thor — enough help to get Thor a ride back home.
Hurtado had said he was hoping that would happen before Christmas. "Ever since my grandson found out that he was out there, he says that's what he wants for Christmas. He wants to get his baby back."
Thor left Crescent City Saturday, aboard a truck driven by Bruce Heinichen, a driver for Orange County Transport who is hauling a boat from Portland to Laredo, the Triplicate reported.
By Monday afternoon, the truck carrying Thor had crossed into Texas, the Los Angeles Times reported. By Wednesday, Thor was back with the Hurtados.
Hurtado said the transportation cost is being covered by two Austin benefactors, who will split the $665 bill.
The Hurtados, while still recovering from the May floods, are now dealing with a new round of flooding near the Blanco River.
"We probably need to get into a new house pretty soon," said Hurtado. "But this time we're keeping the dogs with us if we ever have to leave the place."

Deeming its behavior aggressive, Texas man shoots pit bull three times at dog park
A man who shot a pit bull he thought was behaving too roughly with his dog at a Texas dog park was briefly detained but released by Harris County sheriff's deputies.
Deputies were called to the Bay Area Dog Park in Pasadena Sunday after the pit bull, named Dieisel, was shot — reportedly three times.
The man said he was defending himself and his dog, but witnesses interviewed by news organizations afterwards said the pit bull was only playing roughly with the man's dog and at no point seemed aggressive.
The two-year-old pit bull was taken to a veterinary hospital, where, due to the severity of his injuries — a shattered front leg and two bullet wounds to the back — he was put down, Click2Houston reported.
The man told investigators the pit bull was trying to attack his dog, and he was afraid it would turn on him. Witnesses said he kicked the pit bull first, then drew his weapon, firing at least three times.
"His dog was not in danger… He was not in danger," one witness said. "I don't understand how they are not pressing charges. I witnessed everything. No one was in danger."
"I just can't believe somebody would do that when the dog wasn't even being aggressive," said another.
The man, who authorities declined to identify, told others at the dog park that he had a concealed carry permit for the weapon, witnesses said.
Deputies initially placed him handcuffs, witnesses said, but he was later freed.
The Harris County District Attorney's office said reports saying it was declining to prosecute the man were incorrect, and that detectives have been asked to investigate the case.

Dogs and Ebola: Looking for answers
You'd think in a world preparing for Ebola — especially in a country as sophisticated, dog-crazy and health-oriented as ours — someone would have given it at least a moment's thought.
You'd think — between all the agencies and organizations, protocols and precautions; between the National Institutes for Health, the Centers for Disease Control and the American Veterinary Medical Association — someone somewhere would have stood up and said, hey, what about our dogs?
Instead, with Ebola's spread to countries outside Africa, public health officials find themselves scratching their heads and — even though there's no proof yet that dogs can transmit the disease — considering options as drastic as incarceration and extermination for the pets of humans diagnosed with Ebola.
Caution, of course, is good, but planning would have been better.
Excalibur was the first one to come to light. The large mixed-breed dog belonged to a nurse in Madrid who contracted the disease from Spain's first Ebola patient. Her dog, over the family's objections, was killed and incinerated nearly immediately upon the order of government officials.
America, or at least Dallas, took a more compassionate approach when a local nurse was determined to have contracted Ebola from a patient being treated in a hospital there. Bentley, her Cavalier King Charles spaniel, was moved into a quarantined area at a decommissioned Naval base, where he's being tended to by hazardous material crews in full protective garb.
The question arises, and should have arisen long ago: What are we going to do with the pets of Ebola victims?
Will we turn to extermination, as the number of cases, and our fears, increase?
Will we keep them isolated in crates, bubbles or decommissioned military bases?
For how long? At what costs? Under whose supervision? And is it even necessary?
No one knows the answers to any of those questions, and the fear and uncertainty that ignorance leads to is bound to take us to some bad places, if it hasn't already.
In an ideal world, we'd have studies to turn to — proving, one way or the other, whether dogs can contract and transmit the virus. We'd be testing them, as we do humans, before quarantining them, or at least before releasing them from that quarantine. We'd know how long, if at all, they need to be sequestered and monitored.
Instead, we're playing a messy game of catch-up, and the argument can be made that it's because we were wearing blinders.
Even in this supposed era of increased awareness about the health issues that cross species lines, our planet seems to once again have gotten caught up in the view that only humans matter.
Perhaps too it could be argued that, among many in America, some strange disease in Africa didn't strike us as a big concern, or as an opportunity to learn and prepare for what might be coming. (Maybe we humans don't like to look at the big picture when the big picture is too big, and too scary.)
What is abundantly clear is that no one, up until now, gave much thought to how Ebola might affect our dogs — if not the disease itself, at least the fear of it.
No one knows whether dogs can get the full-fledged virus. One study during the 2001-02 Ebola outbreak in Gabon showed some exposed dogs carried signs of infection, and had an immune response — but that's not the same as getting the disease.
"Studies have shown that dogs can have an immune response to Ebola, but there have been no reports of pet dogs or cats becoming sick with Ebola or of passing the disease to other animals or people," said Kristen Nordlund, a CDC health-communications specialist.
"In a situation where there is a dog or cat in the home of an Ebola patient, CDC recommends public-health officials evaluate the animal's risk of exposure," she added.
Given dogs are present in nearly half of American homes, given many of them share our beds and lick our faces, we'd like to see the CDC recommending something more than "risk evaluation."
Between the lack of knowledge, and the lack of a clear-cut recommended response when it comes to the pets of Ebola victims, public fears will only snowball as questions go unanswered.
Why, given all our physiological similarities, can't the dogs of Ebola patients be tested like humans are to confirm if they've been exposed? And if, as limited study suggests, dogs can have the virus without getting sick and dying, might there be something worth further studying in that?
"We know that you and your clients are looking for answers, and we're working to get information for you," the American Veterinary Medical Association says on its website.
"The AVMA is collaborating with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and USDA along with other agencies and experts and is tapping into the broad expertise of our member veterinarians to develop information for our members and the public. We will strive to ensure that veterinarians have a prominent voice as these issues are discussed and decided in the U.S."
Up until now, the CDC has taken the line that the risk of Ebola to pets is low. Its website also says there is little risk of an Ebola outbreak in the U.S.
"The risk of an Ebola outbreak affecting multiple people in the United States is very low," says a question and answer fact sheet on the CDC website.. "Therefore, the risk to pets is also very low, as they would have to come into contact with blood and body fluids of a person with Ebola. Even in areas in Africa where Ebola is present, there have been no reports of dogs and cats becoming sick with Ebola."
And yet Excalibur is dead and Bentley is being treated as hazardous material, and with each new case there will be new fears and ripples.
In Madrid, a dog that often played with Excalibur was surrendered to a shelter by his owners because of fears he might have contracted the disease.
Tronco was dropped off by his owners at the Spanish animal charity Escuela Canina Esga in Madrid, according to the New York Post.
"They were parents with young children and they just were not prepared to take the risk and so [they] handed him over to us," said manager Esga Juan Esteban. "We did everything we could to reassure them that it was probably OK, but of course we couldn't guarantee that the animal didn't have Ebola, and so they were adamant that they didn't want him any longer."
The shelter, in its effort (successful) to find Tronco a new home, used only photos of him as a pup — so that, once he was adopted, he wouldn't be recognized in public as a dog who once played with a dog whose owner has Ebola.
(Top photo: The image of Soviet Space dog Belka is from the distant past, but might we see something like it in the near future?)

Harley is Reese again: One family's happy reunion is another family's sad loss
It's always nice to read about a happy reunion between a family and their lost dog — except maybe when the dog being reunited is one you thought was your own.
The Miller family of Tyler, Texas, lost their dog Reese, a Maltese, seven years ago. They were visiting family outside of Dallas when the little white dog ran off.
Dinah Miller said she never stopped searching, and hoping Reese would return: "Every time you hear a bark, you think, that sounds like Reese," she said. "We drove. We searched. We looked over fences. We peeped everywhere we could without getting shot."
Last weekend, the Millers learned Reese had been found on a road in Tacoma, Wash., more than 2,000 miles away. The family received a call after a check for a microchip revealed they were the dog's registered owners.
Reese was flown to Houston, and Dinah Miller reunited with her Monday, KHOU reported.
How Reese had gotten to Tacoma, and where she'd spent the intervening seven years, were mysteries Miller thought would go unanswered — at least until another owner surfaced.
Kelli Davis of Spanaway, Wash., said her family adopted the dog at a shelter in Mesquite, Texas, near Dallas, six years ago, and named him Harley.
Davis and her family later moved from Texas to Washington.
She said Harley recently escaped after her 2-year-old daughter unlatched the front door.
"We were running down the street trying to find him and she was crying, 'My Harley ran away,'" said Davis. "Every day we have gone out and printed fliers and walked around the neighborhood several times a day calling his name."
"Harley is my daughter's best friend. That's her little buddy. They do everything together," she said.
Davis said Harley was listed as an owner surrender by the Texas shelter he was adopted from. When she called that shelter to find out if they had ever checked the dog for a microchip she was told that information wasn't available. The shelter said it purges its records after five years.
"I don't know what to do. We just lost a part of our family," said Davis.
Miller, meanwhile, says she sympathizes with the family in Washington, but she's keeping Reese.
