Industry hopes to perpetuate winter momentum
Domestic box office in January hit a record $781.4 million, up a whopping 18% over last year — and Hollywood is hoping that momentum will continue with a bountiful spring.
B.O. is fickle: Last year, the record haul for summer was followed by a dismal fall, which then rebounded with a boffo Christmas season.
Exhibitors and distribs are too battle-scarred to predict that a great spring is a fait accompli — but the lineup gives them reason for optimism.
There are plenty of laffers — some might say an overabundance — as well as the usual bundle of genre films.
And a handful of titles have potential to become big grossers, including Paramount's franchise hopeful "The Spiderwick Chronicles" (Feb. 14), Fox/New Regency's sci-fi actioner "Jumper" (Feb. 14), New Line's Will Ferrell ABA basketball sports spoof "Semi-Pro" (Feb. 29), Warner Bros.' Roland Emmerich-directed "10,000 B.C." (March 7) and Fox's animated Dr. Seuss adventure "Horton Hears a Who!" (March 14).
"Horton" is the only toon of the spring season, but there is otherwise a range of pics, from Lionsgate and the Weinstein Co.'s martial arts fantasy "The Forgotten Kingdom" to Sony's horror remake "Prom Night." Some are harder to categorize, such as Universal's George Clooney-Renee Zellweger starrer "Leatherheads" and Sony's drama "21."
Some studios will try to replicate previous successes, such as Warners, which hopes for "10,000 B.C." to do the same kind of biz that "300" did last year. DreamWorks-Paramount is betting on "The Ruins" to be as successful as "Disturbia" was.
As usual, the studios will be pulling out all the stops with their summer skeds (Variety, Jan. 21-27), but the release calendar through the end of April is filled with pics that, at least on paper, sound good.
The only serious caveat is that the next three months will again see an all-out traffic jam, meaning films will have to fight hard for their share of the moviegoing public.
The majors will be looking to replicate (or even top) the success last year during the same stretch, led by Warner Bros.' "300," which grossed $211 million domestically, the highest cume ever for a pic released in March. Also scoring impressive grosses were "Wild Hogs" ($168 million), Ferrell starrer "Blades of Glory" ($118 million) and "Ghost Rider" ($116 million).
Gone are the days when a studio would open a film and the rival studios would back off.
Opening Feb. 8 are Warner Bros.' Kate Hudson-Matthew McConaughey romance-adventure "Fool's Gold" and U's urban comedy "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins."
But a bigger battle is looming Feb. 14, which sees the bows of four pics: Paramount's "Spiderwick," based on the bestselling children's book series, Doug Liman's "Jumper," Universal/Working Title's dramedy "Definitely, Maybe" and Disney's "Step Up 2 the Streets" (the "Step Up" sequel).
Valentine's Day has always been a prime time for romancers, but "Definitely, Maybe" could face trouble if "Fool's Gold" holds.
Every studio in Hollywood is looking to find the next kids' fantasy franchise, with Par banking on the big-budget "Spiderwick," based the bestselling book series. On Feb. 22, three wide releases will bow, including two laffers, MGM's teen comedy "Charlie Bartlett" and Lionsgate's "Witless Protection," starring Larry the Cable Guy.
The third new film is Sony's presidential political thriller "Vantage Point," directed by Pete Travis. Sony is already heavily advertising the film.
Feb. 29 will see two female-skewing titles open: Summit's modern-day fairytale "Penelope," and Sony's historical drama "The Other Boleyn Girl," starring Eric Bana, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson.
Broad comedy "Semi-Pro" could be the big winner of that weekend, considering Ferrell's popularity and the fact comedies, including Ferrell's "Blades of Glory," often score in spring.
Warners opens Emmerich's spectacle "10,000 B.C." on March 7. Disney will counterprogram that weekend with Martin Lawrence laffer "College Road Trip."
"Horton," voiced by Jim Carrey and Steve Carell, enters the market March 14. It's the only animated film of the season, and will look to play strongly through Easter and beyond. Fox released both "Ice Age" movies in March to boffo B.O. grosses.
On March 21 — Easter weekend — two comedies enter the fray: Paramount's Owen Wilson starrer "Drillbit Taylor" and Lionsgate's "Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns."
Fox and New Regency try a counterprogramming tactic with horror pic "Shutter," from Japanese helmer Masayuki Ochiai.
The March 28 frame offers two dramas and two comedies. Robert Luketic-helmed "21" is based on the real-life story of five MIT students who became card counters and swindled Las Vegas casinos out of millions; the other drama is Paramount's Iraqi war pic "Stop-Loss." Directed by Kimberly Peirce, "Stop-Loss" was pushed back from 2007 and 2008. The pic will aim to break the streak of other war-themed pics that had trouble at the fall box office.
Two comedies are David Schwimmer-directed "Run, Fatboy, Run" and MGM/Dimension's spoof "Superhero Movie."
On April 4, DreamWorks opens horror-thriller "The Ruins." That's also the weekend that "Leatherheads" debuts, as well as Martin Scorsese's Rolling Stones docu "Shine a Light."
For families, Fox-Walden has Jodie Foster-Gerard Butler-Abigail Breslin fantasy adventure "Nim's Island."
Another pair of comedies open April 11: Lionsgate's "College" and Miramax's Sarah Jessica Parker-Dennis Quaid starrer "Smart People."
Fox will go after young males that weekend with David Ayer's Keanu Reeves crime drama "The Night Watchmen," penned by James Ellroy and Kurt Wimmer and based on a story by Ellroy. Lionsgate also bows "Prom Night." Plus, there are two more comedies: U bows raunchy R-rated "Forgetting About Sarah Marshall," and Fox Atomic unveils "The Rocker."
Lionsgate and the Weinstein Co. go after young males with Jackie Chan-Jet Li fantasy adventure "The Forbidden Kingdom."
The final weekend of spring — summer starts May 2 this year, as least to box office watchers — sees two suspense titles, Fox's "The List" and Picturehouse's "Amusement." Also bowing are comedies "Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo" from New Line and U's "Baby Mama."

Flint Emergency Manager Ed Kurtz and Genesee County Drain Commissioner Jeff Wright announced Tuesday that after years of discussion, plans to join a project to build a new water pipeline from Lake Huron are officially underway.
The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department has said it stands to lose 6 percent of its revenue if the Flint area stops buying its treated water.
"It's a hit, I'm not going to say it's not a hit, but I don't think its something for anyone to panic about," said Nowling, the spokesman for Detroit's emergency manager.
"... It's not as if all of the customers have gone away. And it's not an immediate action."
Nowling said it's too early to tell how big of an impact the changes will have and whether it will mean further Detroit-area water rate increases.
Wright said it will take between 30 to 36 months to get the 64 miles of pipeline, intake, pumping stations and a Genesee County water treatment plant up and running.
The announcement comes as Orr prepares to begin debt restructuring initiatives. The city faces about $14 billion in long-term debt, which prompted Gov. Rick Snyder to appoint Orr to take over the city.
Nowling said water department debt makes up some $6 billion of that debt.
"Any change in value of an asset will have an impact of some magnitude on any efforts to restructure debt," Nowling said. "... We're going to have to figure out what the revaluation of the asset is.
"It's something I'm sure our creditors will factor into the equation, but it's too early to say what that is... It's certainly a cause for concern. I wouldn't call it catastrophic."
The Detroit water department made a last-ditch attempt to get Flint to decide against the move late Monday, offering a proposal it said would save Flint $800 million more than the Karegnondi Water Authority.
But Kurtz rejected the estimate.
"We just had a hard time finding credibility in either of Detroit's offers," Kurtz said.
He said Detroit has consistently passed double-digit water rate increases along to Flint.

More than 200 enterprise zone specialists from across the nation are converging in Santa Clarita at the Hyatt Regency Valencia from today through Friday for the annual California Association of Enterprise Zones conference.
The city of Santa Clarita has been vying to host the conference since it was first designated as an enterprise zone in 2007, said Mayor Frank Ferry. He considers landing the conference a boost to their efforts and to the community.
"The city works hard to attract a variety of conferences and events, like the enterprise zone conference, to Santa Clarita because they support local business and provide a positive economic impact through occupancy and sales tax generation," said Jason Crawford, economic development manager.
The fact that Santa Clarita can host a statewide conference for the California Association of Enterprise Zones is a "big get" for the city, and provides value for local companies, he said.
More than 280 rooms were booked at the Hyatt as a result. And conference participants are also holding a lunch meeting at Salt Creek Grille and playing golf at the Robinson Ranch Golf Club, a spokesperson with the city said. A-1 Event Rentals is providing furniture and décor for the opening reception at the Hyatt, and SOS Entertainment is also helping stage the event —all local companies.
"We work with the city and the Hyatt on several events throughout the year and enjoy the collaboration of local businesses and partners coming together to support one another," said Rob Cruikshank, owner of A-1 Event Rentals. "This effort is a crucial part of keeping local small businesses thriving."
The California Association of Enterprise Zones hosts the conference, which is an opportunity for enterprise zone staff and supporters to hear from state leaders, attend workshops on best practices, learn tactics to maximize job creation and business retention from peers, and discuss how to improve enterprise zones with advice from experts.
The city reports that the Santa Clarita Valley Enterprise Zone, which was originally approved in 2007 and expanded in 2011, has helped create more than 1,200 jobs and saved local businesses more than $238 million in state taxes.
Many of the 400 business owners who currently use the program have shared that they were able to create jobs, invest in their business, and expand operation as a result of enterprise zone benefits, Crawford said.
"The enterprise zone program is the biggest business incentive right now for our community," he said. "We are focused on working with local business organizations and companies to maximize the program's effectiveness and to educate business leaders about how easy it can be to take advantage of its benefits."
The California Association of Enterprise Zones conference's keynote luncheon on Thursday features Olympian Bruce Jenner.
Business owners interested in attending the luncheon may purchase tickets online at scventerprisezone.com or by calling 661-255-4347.

Hardware-Enhanced Security Changes Business Security Paradigm
In a survey of enterprise users, 71 percent admitted to ignoring security policies meant to protect them, their devices, and corporate data.
This survey result matters for two reasons. First, because some of the most pressing security concerns business leaders like you face—from malware to data theft—pivot around user actions. But perhaps more importantly, the survey result shows one reason why enterprise information security can feel like an uphill struggle. Despite an ever increasing attack surface, security practices are still sometimes perceived as obstacles to be circumvented. In part, this perception is fed by the fact that for the past three decades, enterprise security practitioners have countered software-based security threats with software-based defenses.
Today, Intel and its partners are working to change the software-versus-software equation to tip the balance in your favor. The new equation enhances software-based protection through a three-pronged security vision anchored in the hardware:
1. Strengthen computing at its silicon roots without impeding the user experience through security features built into great platforms.
2. Deploy innovative software and services that take advantage of those hardware-embedded security features.
Read the full Hardware-Enhanced Security Changes Business Security Paradigm White Paper.

The nuts in Tom Coleman's pistachio orchards begin to fill near the end of June, which puts the trees pretty much on schedule for a normal harvest start around September 5-6.
Based at Fresno, Calif., Coleman Farming Co. manages 900 acres of its own orchards and another 3,000 or so acres of pistachios for other owners in Madera and Fresno Counties. The trees range in age from first leaf to those that have been in his orchards for 27 years.
Following a good size crop last year, Coleman expects his 2012 production will be no more than average. Results between individual orchards, or even within the same field, could differ significantly up or down, he notes.
"As has been the case for the last several years, there's a lot of variability among the trees this year," he says. "Some have a heavy crop, while just a short distance away others have virtually no crop."
He attributes this to frost damage in low areas of his fields several years ago, which induced an alternate bearing cycle within the orchards.
To meet the nutrient needs of his trees, including the spike in demand as nuts fill, Coleman applies most of the fertilizer through drip irrigation systems. He feeds younger-producing trees a total of about 100 units of nitrogen annually, while the oldest trees get up to 200 units of nitrogen each. He applies it beginning with the first irrigation, usually around the first of May and continuing through July. During this time, he also runs a total of 125 units of potassium and about 4 pounds of boron per acre through the drip systems.
To improve zinc uptake and save the cost of a soil-applied copper material, he makes a foliar application of these nutrients in the spring. He includes a little nitrogen, which helps the leaves absorb the fertilizers, Coleman says.
This spring he sprayed for botrysphaeria and botrytris in orchards with a history of the fungal diseases; other than that, diseases haven't been a threat this season.
"We haven't dealt with alternaria in a long time," he says. "Years ago, we had some problems with that disease in some low areas, so we reduced our irrigation and that seems to have corrected the problem."
In May, Coleman applied an insecticide to kill any plant bugs or navel orangeworms. Now, he's waiting for the first hulls to split, usually in early August, before he treats all of his trees again to control navel orangeworm.
"It's not a concern at this point," he says. "But, no matter how much effort we make to clean up mummies in the winter, we'll still find some that didn't get disked under. So, I know they're out there."
Coleman's usual start of his month-long harvest in the first week of September is earlier than many growers begin. This minimizes the risks of naval orangeworm damage, which increases the longer nuts stay on the tree. And, the value of the damage-free nuts, he says, outweighs the cost of shaking trees a second time to harvest nuts that weren't maturing when the first shake was made.
"As soon as nuts are ready to come off, it's time to harvest them," he says. "I feel I'm getting better quality and making more money in the long run."
Coleman has Class II water rights for his largest pistachio ranch, located in Madera County. This subordinate right means he can get water from the local irrigation district only after Class I users have received their annual supplies. This year, those users are scheduled to receive only 55 percent of the full allotment, which leaves none for Coleman and other subordinate users.
"I can't afford not to have water," he says, "so each winter I pre-purchase water for insurance."
He could have bought the water he needed this past December at a cost of $275 per acre, but based on high water levels in reservoirs at the time due to last year's ample rainfall, he decided to wait. By the time it became apparent that the snowpack in the mountains and winter rainfall in the valley would fall far short of normal and he made the decision to buy the water he needed, the price had risen to $340 an acre foot.
Even at that price, the water was worth it, Coleman says. "We should be OK for water this season. Later, the district received a little more water, which I could have bought for $400 an acre-foot, but I didn't need it."
Meanwhile, in the other districts where he farms and has Class I water rights, Coleman expects to receive surface water deliveries until the end of August.

Home-Made Kidney Diet
7 comments:
Thanks! I appreciate the response and I'll be sure to pass this along to her.ReplyDelete
Chris, there was a pretty good article about homemade diets in JAVMA last month (March 1?). Most of the diets analyzed were inadequate, so your recommendation was spot on, I think, even though I'm just a horse doc. Check it out if you're suffering from insomnia, as I was. :-)ReplyDelete
I was just wondering if Hill's k/d is good. I cannot make my dogs food.Most Vets.promote Hill's but is it really good? I read many reviews that it is garbage and the use meat by products.Isn't all meat a by product? I am new to needing this renal food for my Pomeranians kidney stones.Sincerely,KimReplyDelete
Hills is a very good quality food, and was the first company to make disease-specific foods. Anyone who speaks against by-products doesn't actually understand what they are. By-products are simply organ meat excluding skin, ingesta, and so on. So this is liver, kidneys, intestines without the contents, lungs, heart, etc. By federal definition by-products CANNOT contain intestinal contents, skin, hooves, hair and similar things. It is NOT junk ingredients. In fact, there are numerous nutrients found in these organs that are important yet not found in muscle meat. Now personally I lean towards the Royal Canin diets in my own recommendations, but we also carry Hills and I think they are good foods.ReplyDelete
If my dog has a history of elevated calcium levels and will be taking a phosphorus-binding supplement, should I leave the calcium carbonate out of the above mentioned diet?ReplyDelete
Talk to your vet about that, Lisa. They will know more about the specifics of your case and whether or not this would be a good idea.ReplyDelete
If my dog has a history of elevated calcium levels and will be taking a phosphorus-binding supplement, should I leave the calcium carbonate out of the above mentioned recipe? Or is it still critical? He is in advanced renal failure with a grave prognosis, ~2 months to live. He is happy but starving since the diet switch. Will not eat Royal Canin or Hill's. :(ReplyDelete

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- It was a winter of change for David Wright. He got married. And he utilized a new workout regiment.
Wright missed 45 games last season with a hamstring strain and as the 31-year-old enters the 11th season of his career, he decided to shift emphasis in his routine.
Gone was the need to get bigger and stronger. Instead, he wanted to get more limber.
"There's more in the offseaon this year for me that is incorporated, stuff that I never thought was all that important," Wright said. "Usually in the offseaon you go out there, you try to get bigger, fasters stronger. I've realized that with the hamstring, the lower back thing that I had, some flexibility needs to be incorporated, some kind of, the philosophy that maybe it's not always the best way to see how much weight you can lift.
"Maybe it's more important to do some flexibility stuff, some stuff that maybe I didn't think about when I was a younger because I could pretty much just roll out of bed and not get hurt. Now that you're a little bit older with some more miles on you, you have to think in a different way as far as tuning up your body for a season. I think I've made a nice adjustment and I'm excited to see how that plays out."
* * *
Yes, the Mets signed Jose Valverde to a minor league deal Wednesday and Kyle Farnsworth to a similar one earlier this offseason. Don't take that to mean that Sandy Alderson is comfortable with the composition of the bullpen.
"For the time being," Alderson replied when asked if he felt good about the bullpen until younger pitchers are ready. "For the next two or three weeks. We'll see. You can ask that question later."

MOBILE, Alabama — It's Day 27 on my blogging for breast cancer awareness journey and I am filled with hope and faith.
Today I am wearing a large pink butterfly pin on my shoulder.
I didn't know a few weeks ago why I HAD to have it when I spotted it on the accessories shelf in a department store.
Now I know why.
This morning when I awoke, my only option to move forward with this day was to apply faith and hope.
I once heard faith compared to a butterfly. Butterflies move in faith that the wind will be beneath their wings and they are going to soar to places that will provide everything they need. Kinda like a leap of faith.
Today, as one of my dear friends prepare to have a long-awaited kidney transplant and another fights for his life in an intensive care unit, I am moving forward in faith.
I have faith that all the prayers being lifted will land right where they need to be, and all my friends' needs will be met.
I have faith that this month's breast cancer awareness campaign touched receiving ears, and lives will be saved because of it.
To see all of this month's fashions, visit here. To contribute to the Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk in Mobile, visit my page here.
Keeping the faith,

Judge did right thing visiting troubled teen
While Erie County Family Court Judge Paul Buchanan might have made a misstep in the eyes of the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct, it is refreshing that beneath those austere black robes beats the heart of a very compassionate man who truly cares about children and their futures and is willing to pay the price. And though his conduct might have "created an appearance of impropriety," visiting a troubled teen and encouraging her in her time of need was the right thing to do. Bravo, Judge Buchanan.

Greensboro, NC--The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th. Some seasons are more active than others. Hurricane climatology which looks at tropical activity over a long period of time shows a marked peak in activity in the month of September with a decrease near the end of the season.
This increase in activity is directly related to improving conditions for development in the tropical Atlantic with time.
Sea surface temperatures get warmer over the summer and are ripe for providing heat energy for development and strengthen of tropical systems.
Stronger upper-level winds or wind shear throughout the year tends to relax. This keeps the developing tropical system from being ripped apart.

NEWARK — A Rutherford teen who set off an overseas manhunt with the fictitious online tale of a New Jersey high school girl kidnapped abroad was sentenced to six months in prison today.
Andriy Mykhaylivskyy, 19, pleaded guilty in January to federal charges of making false statements to a U.S. official. He will receive credit for the three months he's already served behind bars, Newark federal prosecutors say.
Mykhaylivskyy was arrested in August 2013, a few weeks after admitting, during questioning by U.S. State Department officials at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, that he'd lied about a kidnapping to U.S. Embassy officials in Moldova.
On July 2, 2013, embassy officials received a phone call from a man identifying himself as "Andrei Aylivsk" reporting the kidnapping of a teenaged girl from the U.S. named "Kate Fulton" in Bulgaria, federal prosecutors say.
"Andrei" claimed that Kate's mother was contacted by a man who informed her that she had one week to pay a $50,000 ransom for her daughter, according to a criminal complaint filed by prosecutors last year.
When "Andrei" asked whether the embassy would pay the ransom for the girl's release he was told that was not possible, the complaint adds.
During an Aug. 2013 interview at JFK, Mykhaylivskyy admitted that he was "Andrei" and that he'd created an online profile of "Kate Fulton" using Facebook, Skype, Twitter and other online tools, the complaint adds.
Facebook photos of an actual high school student were taken from her Facebook page without her knowledge, prosecutors say.
In August 2012, Mykhylivskyy, posing as "Kate Fulton," began an online relationship with a high school classmate, prosecutors say.
In July 2013, the unidentified classmate called the U.S. embassy in Bulgaria seeking its help in locating "Kate Fulton," who he believed to have been kidnapped.
On June 29, 2013, one day after the phony kidnapping, the classmate received a tweet from the Fulton twitter account that read, "Someone help me," prosecutors say.
The report prompted federal agents, working with Bulgarian police, to scour hotels, hostels and other locations for the fictitious missing girl, prosecutors say.
Mykhaylivskyy was fined $500 and must serve three years of supervised release.

Jonathan Goldstein to give talk at Bucknell
LEWISBURG - Jonathan Goldstein will give the talk, "Between Russia, China and Israel: The Transnational Identity of Harbin's Jews, 1899-2014," at 7 p.m. March 25 in the Gallery Theatre of the Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell University.
The talk, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Jewish Studies and the Religious Studies departments.
Goldstein will discuss the history of Russian Jews who settled in the Chinese city of Harbin in northern Manchuria in 1887 during the building of the Chinese Eastern railway. They were followed by refugees from the Russo-Japanese war of 1905 and later during World War I, the Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil War.
In 1931, the Japanese army occupied Harbin and the Manchurian territory. During World War II, the Japanese adopted an anti-Semitic policy, causing most of the Jews of Harbin to emigrate to the West.
Goldstein, who holds degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, has been a research associate of Harvard University's John King Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies since 1985 and a professor of Asian history at the University of West Georgia since 1981.
Bucknell to host Robert Whitaker
LEWISBURG - Journalist Robert Whitaker will give the talk, "Mad in America," at 7 p.m. March 26 in the Forum of Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell University.
The talk, which is free and open to the public, is part of the CSREG Disability Studies series.
Based on his book Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill, Whitaker's talk will explore the treatment of the severely mentally ill in the United States from colonial times until today.
In the early 1800s, Quakers promoted a form of humane care, called moral therapy, that produced quite good outcomes, a record of success that has been largely forgotten today. Meanwhile, during the past 25 years, when use of psychiatric drugs has dramatically increased, the burden of mental illness has soared.
Whitaker's book reveals that long-term outcome studies of antipsychotics regularly showed that the drugs increased the likelihood that people diagnosed with schizophrenia would become chronically ill.
The book also investigates the marketing of the new atypical antipsychotic medications in the 1990s, and uncovers the scientific fraud at the heart of that enterprise.
Whitaker is the author of several books including Anatomy of an Epidemic, which won the 2010 Investigative Reporters and Editors book award for best investigative journalism.
He has won numerous awards as a journalist covering medicine and science, including the George Polk Award for Medical Writing and a National Association for Science Writers' Award for best magazine article. In 1998, he co-wrote a series on psychiatric research for the Boston Globe that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.

ABSTRACT: The usefulness of immumoglobulin (Ig) A antibodies to gliadin (AGA-IgA) in addition to IgA anti-endomysium and tissue transglutaminase antibodies was evaluated in 4122 children younger than 2 years with a suspicion of coeliac disease (CD). Eight percent (312/4122) displayed IgA anti-endomysium and/or IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase, whereas 2.1% (85/4122) displayed only AGA-IgA. Clinical data were obtained for 62 of 85 children with isolated AGA-IgA, and 33 children underwent a duodenal biopsy. Histologically proven CD was established for 5 patients, whereas 57 children were diagnosed to experience other diseases. The systematic detection of AGA-IgA using native gliadin conferred no additional diagnostic benefit for the diagnosis of CD in children younger than 2 years of age, except for rare cases.
Coeliac disease (CD) is defined as a small bowel enteropathy triggered by the ingestion of wheat gliadin in genetically susceptible individuals. The diagnosis of CD can be made at any age of life but especially during the early childhood, between 9 and 24 months, or in the third or fourth decade of life (1). The prevalence of CD between 2.5 and 15 years in the general population ranges from 3 to 13/1000 children, or approximately 1:300 to 1:80 children in Europe and the United States (2).
CD encompasses a large spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from serious symptomatic forms to completely asymptomatic ones (2–6). Early childhood CD frequently has gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea with failure to thrive, abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation and abdominal distension starting between 6 and 24 months of age, and nongastrointestinal manifestations (1,4). Children may have a milder constellation of symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, indigestion, or only nongastrointestinal symptoms. In parallel, histological changes in the small intestinal mucosa can also range from typical severe lesions (villous atrophy, hyperplasia of the crypts) to mild forms characterized by minor degrees of enteropathy with a lymphocytic infiltrate and increased epithelial cell proliferation (7).
Along with the duodenal biopsy, serological and genetic tests have acquired greater importance in CD diagnosis in both symptomatic and nonsymptomatic forms. The finding of immunoglobulin (Ig) A antibodies to gliadin (AGA-IgA), endomysium (EMA-IgA), and tissue transglutaminase (tTG-IgA) and their disappearance on a gluten-free diet are considered as supporting evidence for the diagnosis of CD.
The utility to perform these 3 serological tests simultaneously was reconsidered when it was demonstrated that EMA-IgA and tTG-IgA had a higher diagnostic performance than AGA-IgA (2,8,9). EMA-IgA and tTG-IgA are greatly sensitive (88%–100%) and specific (95%–99%) tests to identify individuals experiencing CD (8,10,11). For this reason, the use of AGA-IgA was no longer recommended (2,12). However, there is still doubt about the interest of detection of AGA-IgA especially in children younger than 2 years with neither EMA-IgA nor tTG-IgA, as it has been shown that AGA-IgA are more accurate in these cases (13–16).
The aim of our study was to evaluate the real usefulness of AGA-IgA in a large children population, younger than 2 years of age, with a suspicion of CD to find out whether the determination of AGA-IgA should be abolished as it was suggested by others (2,12,17) or should still be used in daily practice.
The present retrospective study analysed 4122 children (median age at diagnostic 15 months, range 3–24 months, with a sex ratio F:M equal to 1:3) experiencing clinical symptoms that could be associated with CD and had been investigated for AGA-IgA along with tTG-IgA and/or EMA-IgA. The patients came from the paediatric departments of several hospitals (Angers, Annonay, Bourg en Bresse, Dijon, Chalon-sur-saône, Saone, Chambery, Lons-le-Saunier, Lyon, Marseille, Montceau les Mines, Montluçon, Montpellier, Paris, and Strasbourg). Clinical data and histological findings of intestinal biopsies were obtained from 62 and 33 children displaying isolated positive AGA-IgA, respectively. The severity of mucosal atrophy was described according to the histological Marsh classification (18). Definitive diagnosis of CD was confirmed according to the consensus statement on CD of the National Institutes of Health (12).
The serological markers most commonly used in clinical routine were performed in 10 different laboratories (Angers, Dijon, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Paris, and Strasbourg). Detection of EMA-IgA was performed by indirect immunofluorescence technique using tissue sections from monkey oesophagus as substrate (Biorad, Marnes la Coquette, France; The Binding site, Saint Egrève, France). tTG-IgA were detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and fluorimetry using as antigen human recombinant transglutaminase, according to the manufacturer's instructions (Eurospital, Trieste, Italy; Phadia, Saint Quentin en Yvelines, France; FIDIS Biomedical, BMD, Marne la Vallée, France). AGA-IgA were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a native gliadin antigen (fraction of gliadin from wheat gluten) according to the manufacturer's instructions (BMD; Menarini, Rungis, France; Phadia).
Three hundred and twelve children of 4122 (8%) displayed at least EMA-IgA and/or tTG-IgA (Table 1). Eighty-five children of 3810 (2,2%) that were both EMA-IgA and tTG-IgA negative were shown to display AGA-IgA.
The clinical data were obtained for 62 of 85 children (Fig. 1). Thirty-three of the 62 children underwent a duodenal biopsy; 24 had small intestinal mucosal evaluation without revealing any degree of villous atrophy. Nine duodenal biopsies were classified as total (Marsh IIIc) (n = 1), subtotal (Marsh IIIb) (n = 5), and partial (Marsh IIIa) (n = 3) villous atrophy. Only 5 of those 9 patients were finally diagnosed as having a biopsy-proven CD, whereas the 4 other patients belong to the group of children with a diagnosis of non-CD; these children (57/62) experienced isolated diarrhoea or constipation (n = 38), growth deficiency (n = 10), cow's-milk protein intolerance (n = 2), iron-deficient anaemia (n = 1), Helicobacter pylori–associated gastritis (n = 1), other gastritis associated with recurrent abdominal pain (n = 2), cystic fibrosis (n = 1), schwannoma (n = 1), and myelodysplastic syndrome (n = 1).
Our results suggest that in a population of children younger than 2 years suspected of having CD, there is no need to simultaneously perform the detection of AGA-IgA in addition to EMA-IgA/tTG-IgA. It is well known that a majority of children diagnosed as having CD displayed tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA during their first year of life, but it has been shown that AGA-IgA can precede detectable tTG-IgA levels in serum (13). The presence of AGA-IgA before tTG-IgA is not well understood; AGA-IgA could reach the peripheral circulation, whereas tTG-IgA may stay mainly in the intestine (14,19,20).
Although the last guidelines for the diagnosis of CD, based on the current evidence, practical considerations including accuracy, reliability, and cost, indicated that measurement of AGA-IgA was no longer recommended (2), there are reports in which AGA-IgA seemed to be more sensitive than tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA with a prevalence of 97%, 83%, and 83%, respectively, in the population of children younger than 2 years (14). It was also demonstrated that tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA are less sensitive than AGA-IgA, with a positivity of 87%, 88%, and 89% of the cases, respectively (16); however, these studies only focused on children with biopsy-verified CD and not on a large population of children with a suspicion of CD. Therefore, it was important to analyse a large cohort of children who were investigated for CD but with no confirmed diagnosis at the time the serological tests were performed. Moreover, the present multicentric study was done with different serological tests avoiding the bias of a lack of sensitivity of a particular technique to detect AGA-IgA or difference in the clinical screening of patients.
In our study, only 2.1% (85/4122) of patients displayed isolated AGA-IgA with no tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA. Considering AGA-IgA as a second-line test when tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA were negative, the accuracy of the test was also poor, with 85 of 3811 children (2.2%) being positive. Clinical data were obtained for 62 of 85 children because 23 children were no longer studied by the paediatric departments, certainly because of weak symptoms and recovery. The CD diagnosis was probably excluded for those 23 patients. Thirty-three children with isolated AGA-IgA underwent a duodenal biopsy, and histologically proven CD was established for 5 patients. From a clinical point of view, 8.1% and 0.12% of the children, when considering the population of isolated AGA-IgA or the entire population, experienced CD, respectively. The vast majority of children displaying isolated AGA-IgA experienced non-CDs that were previously shown to be associated with these antibodies, except for schwannoma (21).
Our study is in accordance with previous studies showing that AGA-IgA should no longer be performed because of a lack of specificity or a lack of sensitivity when compared with tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA (11,15,22,23). Another study gave the same results, showing that all of the AGA-IgA–positive results in the presence of negative tTG/EMA were false-positives (17).
In addition, in our experience, isolated AGA-IgA does not really help the choice of stepping up to the biopsy level, this decision remaining clinically based, as recommended in the case of unusual seronegative CD by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (2). Although the sensitivity of this test has been described to be higher, we believe it should not be used in daily practice because of its poor specificity. The systematic test of AGA-IgA conferred no additional diagnostic benefit in comparison with tTG-IgA.
Because 5 patients were finally diagnosed as having CD, AGA-IgA could be proposed as a second-line test. We also must take into account that new generation of serological tests using antigen derived from gliadin or synthetic deamidated gliadin peptides are now available. The benefit of these new tests in patients with neither tTG-IgA nor EMA-IgA (5,16,24), as well as other tests such as HLA-DQ2/-DQ8 genotype typing, need to be evaluated in large populations.
In conclusion, although some children with CD younger than 2 years display isolated AGA-IgA, our data confirm in a large cohort of patients that the last guidelines for the diagnosis of CD should be followed with suppression of testing AGA-IgA in daily practice.

Review Details
Water Resistant Outdoor BlanketProduct Rating: Product Review (submitted on July 6, 2013):
I purchased this for a variety of uses, mainly to have somewhere to put my baby down while picnicking, at the beach, or at the park. I have used it in the complex park right behind my house (our back door literally opens into the complex park) which is perfect because I can watch my toddler and 7 year old at the same time. My 4 month old loves laying on the fabric, and is often mesmerized by the pattern (lol). I love that it's waterproof because we can take it out in the afternoon after it had previously rained that morning. It cleans easily, I love that it's not made of vinyl or any other toxic material, and it stores very easily. The carry case is perfect too, especially the little pockets on either side. Excited to use this at wasaga beach and for our next picnic by the lake.

After sending strong signals Monday that he would not put his client on the stand, defense attorney Michael Fawer said today he will call on former New Orleans lawmaker Renee Gill Pratt to testify in her own defense.
Gill Pratt is facing a single racketeering count for allegedly participating in a conspiracy with members of former Congressman William Jefferson's family.
Prosecutors allege that the Jefferson's "criminal enterprise" obtained earmarks from state and federal coffers, then funneled them to charities they controlled that were supposed to serve pregnant teens and black inner-city youth.
Instead, the group stole more than $1 million of that money, the government says.
Fawer began his case today with Jefferson family accountant Jack Swetland, who was hired to review the spending of several of the nonprofits, as well as prepare the personal income taxes of Bill Jefferson, his brother Mose Jefferson, his sister Betty Jefferson, and other family members.
Swetland testified that he was unaware that anything improper was going on with any of the groups.
During cross-examination, Swetland said it wasn't his job to find out how the money was being spent, only to make sure all the checks that were written matched up with the expense reports. All of that information was provided by the nonprofits, he said.
Prosecutors pointed out that Swetland was paid more than $100,000 for his work for the Jeffersons between 2000 and 2007.
Next to take the stand will be Tina Smith, a former aide to Gill Pratt when she served on the New Orleans City Council. After that, the defendant herself will undergo questioning, Fawer said.

In his sixth - or perhaps seventh - pair of running shoes this year, David Wilcox, 15, ran from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to downtown Collingswood. His father, Brett, his aunt, Julie Stuehser, and the family dog, Jenna, ran along with him.
Since January, David and Brett Wilcox have been running across the country, 20 miles a day, to promote awareness of genetically modified organisms and mandatory GMO labeling on products.
The journey started in a Los Angeles suburb; the goal is to reach Ocean City, N.J., which could be accomplished in days. As they jog through neighborhoods and encounter passersby, the father-and-son team hands out seeds and hopes the message will germinate.

See a beautiful collection of Rhino photos
These mammals are easily recognised by their prehistoric features and the horns on their forehead. Rhinos are bold and have been seen to graze right next to Lions, with the Lions being equally un-fazed. Poachers are greatly responsible for the decreasing Rhino population.
In the Kruger National Park White Rhino (Ceratotherium simum) occur mostly in woodlands between the Sabie and Crocodile Rivers, and less around Shingwedzi and Letaba. The Black Rhino (Diceros bircornis) is found around thorny thickets and dense bush in southern Kruger between Skukuza and Pretoriuskop and also south of Lower Sabie near Crocodile Bridge.
Rhinos sleep standing up or lying down and can sleep up to 8 hours a day at intervals. They can be found dozing under a tree during a hot day, but when they take a deep sleep, they lie down with their feet curled up slightly to the one side. They sleep very deeply and can easily be approached.
During the heat of the day Rhinos will rest up in shade or find a mud wallow. The mud not only cools them down but protects the skin against parasites and the sun. Rhinos tend to move around more during the night when it is cooler and more bearable. They will also drink water whenever available.
Rhino horn is not made up of compressed hair as once thought but rather keratin (the same material that makes nails, claws and hooves). The horn is sought after for its supposed medicinal purposes. In Yemen the horn is used for dagger handles that are presented to young boys reaching into manhood.
There is no difference in colour between the two species, with the name of the White Rhino coming from the description of its mouth, wyd or wide. The mouth of the Black Rhino is hooked as opposed to the wide mouth of the White Rhino. The White Rhino is a grazer and the Black Rhino is a browser, hence the shapes of the mouths. There is also a difference in size with the White Rhino been the bigger of the two.

Will be doing Minnesota QSO party and Wisconsin QSO Party as rover mobile. Will respond immediately to all MRC/SASE for these counties.
Been licensed since 1957 and, with all of the other life activities, still never seem to have enough time for this great hobby.
