On June 2, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued its preliminary determination in the ongoing countervailing duty investigation against solar products from China. John Smirnow, SEIA's Vice President for Trade, will discuss the key aspects of the determination and its potential impact on the U.S. solar market. Mr. Smirnow will also provide an update on SEIA's efforts to resolve the broader U.S.-China solar trade conflict, including efforts to facilitate a negotiation dialogue between key U.S. and Chinese industry representatives.
The latest anti-dumping and countervailing duty tariffs sought by SolarWorld threaten to dramatically increase the cost of solar PV in the U.S. - but by taking action now, SEIA member companies can help minimize the negative impact of these legal actions.
This webinar will provide a summary of the USITC's preliminary determination, discuss any next steps by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and highlight importers' rights and responsibilities in the event duties are imposed. SEIA will also provide an update on U.S. market implications and SEIA's advocacy in support of settlement discussions.
On Wednesday, January 8, SEIA hosted a members-only webinar to discuss the new U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by SolarWorld Industries America against solar cell and module imports from China and Taiwan. The webinar addressed potential implications to members' importing and purchasing decisions as well as SEIA's response to the new litigation.

A boat with nine people aboard sank about 46 miles east of Ocean City, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The people aboard the 38-foot boat called the Coast Guard via radio at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, saying the vessel was taking on water. About a half hour later, the vessel sank, the Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard coordinated with two good Samaritan vessels in the area to pick up all nine people on board. Multiple people showed signs of medical distress.
A Coast Guard crew stationed in Ocean City took all nine people on board the boat back to land.

LEWISTOWN - Poised at .500 with a 7-7 overall record before taking on Commonwealth Division opponent Carlisle, the Mifflin County girls tipped the scale toward the winning column Tuesday when they edged the Thundering Herd, 76-42.
In the victory, the Huskies were shooting and hitting at will, while the Carlisle girls struggled to light up the board, putting up a mere six points in the first quarter.
In fact, the beginning minutes of the first quarter weren't stellar for either team, as some sloppy shooting and poor passes from the Huskies prevented them from immediately jumping on the lead.

Mifflin County's Rebeka Knable, left, takes a shot as Carlisle's Sarah Burkholder, center, and Megan Bisker defend Tuesday in Lewistown.
"The first few minutes weren't very good. I didn't think we had any bounce in our steps or any juice. We didn't have a flow going," Mifflin County coach Kevin Kodish said.
That lack of flow didn't last long.
After a few minutes to get into a groove, the Huskies hit their stride on the offense - taking a 19-6 lead after the first - and they never looked back.
Fact Box
Mifflin County travels to State College Friday
The best display of Mifflin County's teamwork on the offense occurred in the second quarter, when Mifflin County not only got six points from Ashleigh Williams and five from Rebeka Knable, but some girls off the bench - Tara Kibe, Maggie Wilson and Kylee Cassatt - stepped in with buckets of their own to be a force behind Mifflin County's building offense.
"A lot of the girls want a chance to make their mark when they're on the floor too, so that was an opportunity for them to get out there and get some shots and play some defense themselves. And they cashed in on it," Kodish said.
Add to these girls' effort one bucket apiece from both Logan Snyder and Olivia Halfpenny, and a 3-pointer from Breanna Cline, and eight total Huskies scored in the second quarter to mount a 26-point effort.
From the Thundering Herd's end, it wasn't just Mifflin County's offense which was a source of frustration. The Huskies also made life very difficult on the defensive end, applying pressure at the perimeter for some easy turnovers and making steals all over the court, constantly challenging Carlisle for possession of the ball.
In fact, Carlisle's eight-point third quarter was indicative of the struggles Mifflin County handed the Thundering Herd all night, as Carlisle was held scoreless through the first four minutes of the eight-minute stanza while the Huskies continued to build upon the 45-20 lead they had created at the half.
By the end of the third, Mifflin County sat on a 69-28 lead. In the fourth, Carlisle brought the score a little bit closer for a final of 76-42. Williams and Halfpenny tied for a game-high 15 points.
The JV game reflected the varsity game in that the Huskies dominated there as well, edging Carlisle, 52-8. Maggie Wilson led the Huskies with 13. Tara Kibe chipped in 12.
On Friday, Mifflin County (8-7, 4-7) travels to face State College, and the Huskies are looking to avenge their loss to the Little Lions from earlier in the season when Mifflin County gave up a fourth-quarter lead in a 60-51 loss.
"We're excited about it. It's always a good game every time we play them. I expect something different this time," Kodish said. "We'll go over there and it's going to be a war. It always is."

how to make a contact mic
October 24th, 2006
So, you want to make a contact microphone? Whether you want create noise music by banging on scrap metal, cheaply and easily amplify your acoustic instrument, or just play with wires, you're in the right place. You will need:
- piezo transducer (radioshack 273-073A)
- 1/4″ audio cable (eg radioshack 42-2381A)
- tape, solder, hot glue, heat shrink tubing, etc
That's all! It's pretty simple an inexpensive: two piezos and a six foot cable cost me ten dollars and yield two mics. You also probably going to use pliers, a razor blade, and a soldering iron or hot glue gun if you have them. Kids, we're playing with things that are hot and sharp, so don't tell your parents or they'll get all up in your shit.
Ok, there are our ingredients.
Break the tabs off of the transducer with the pliers, then crunch off the plastic. Be somewhat careful – remember that there's a thin brass wafer inside that you don't want to destroy.
I ended up sticking my needlenose pliers in the hole and just pulling off the plastic on that side, then twisting away the side wall.
There we go, the piezo is loose.
Cut the cable in half. Moving from the outside in, the cable cross section looks like this: black rubber, wires, clear rubber, wires.
Starting about an inch from the cut end, use the razor to slice along the cable, making sure to cut as shallowly as possible. You want to break through the black outer insulation while cutting as few of the copper wires as possible. Then, pull the rubber off to one side, again trying not to break the wires, and cut it off.
Now gather all of the wires to one side and twist them together. It doesn't matter if you lost a few, your mic will be alright.
Strip the exposed center wire. It's a good idea to leave a quarter inch or so of clear insulation at the base to keep the two lines separated. While you're stripping that wire, you might want to expose a little more metal on the lines coming off of your transducer, too.
Now you need to connect the two piezo wires to the two cable wires. Twisting and taping might be enough to hold them together, or twisting then hot gluing, or you can solder if you have the capabilities. Trust me, I had no experience with soldering other than purchasing the seven dollar iron, and it was pretty easy.
After everything is dry and cool, wrap the two wires in tape, making sure not to cross the streams.
Finally, wrap the whole thing in tape, and your mic is complete! Plug the cable into an amplifier and be amazed at the funny noises that come out.
Stick it on an acoustic guitar with some blue goo, and you can play through an amp and get lots of cool feedback. Hold it up to your throat, add a little distortion, and you'll wail like a badass banshee. Put it on anything at all, the possibilities are endless!
The whole process was cheap and easy – for ten bucks you can get two piezo transducers and a sound cable, and there were about five minutes of labor involved. I soldered the wires (another ten bucks for an iron and solder), but you could just tape them if you want, and if you buy premade quarter inch sound cord you've cut out half the steps already. There's basically no reason you're not making a ton of racket yourself, just like your favorite rock stars!
Thanks to Erinys, whose guide I used and simplified a bit. Thanks to you all for reading and rocking.

Martin Lawrence, Raven-Symone attend
HOLLYWOOD — Disney rolled out a highway-themed bash following Monday's premiere of its latest family comedy, "College Road Trip."
After the screening, the film's stars Martin Lawrence, Raven-Symone and Donny Osmond as well as director Roger Kumble all made the short trek across the street from the El Capitan Theater to The Annex.
A carnival-style party awaited, catering mostly to younger guests such as Abigail Breslin with bingo, photo booths, soap-making and karaoke. Even adult revelers waited in line, however, to get their hands on build-a-pig stuffed animals, in honor of the pic's scene-stealing hog.
Kumble said he hoped to make many more family-friendly comedies. "Judd (Apatow) cornered the market on the R-rated comedies and does it so well," he said. "Our goal was to make the funniest G-rated movie. No one's really playing in that arena right now."
'The Bank Job' premieres
Lionsgate's Joe Drake, producer Charles Roven and director Roger Donaldson were onhand at the Hollywood premiere of "The Bank Job." The film was also the subject of a Cinema Society screening in New York on Monday, where stars Saffron Burrows and Jason Statham were in attendance.

Parks set to close early today
KONA - Some state recreation areas are closing early on New Year's Eve to keep people from shooting off fireworks there.
The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources says it is closing Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area, Kekaha Kai State Park and Kiholo State Park Reserve at 5 p.m. today.
DLNR Chairman William Aila Jr. said fireworks are prohibited in state parks, and the early closures are intended to keep people from trying to shoot them off in the affected areas. He said the early closures are to protect the public and natural resources in those areas.
Normal park hours are to resume Tuesday.
Caldwell filling administration
HONOLULU - Honolulu Mayor-elect Kirk Caldwell is filling out his administration as he prepares to take office.
Hawaii News Now reported that Caldwell on Saturday revealed that Ember Shinn, an attorney with more than 20 years' experience, will become his managing director, marking the first time a woman has held the post.
Former State of Hawaii Film Commissioner Georgette Deemer will fill the deputy managing director post, while retiring U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Akaka's communications director Broder Van Dyke will head up the city's communication's department.
Caldwell also filled some Cabinet posts, including installing former interim state Director of Transportation Michael D. Formby as transportation director.
He still has several posts to fill before he's sworn in Wednesday.
Ochiai named to Circuit Court
HONOLULU - Gov. Neil Abercrombie has appointed a new judge to the Hawaii 1st Circuit Court.
Dean E. Ochiai of Honolulu will fill the vacancy left by Judge Richard Pollack. Pollack became an associate justice on the Hawaii Supreme Court. The 57-year-old Ochiai had been serving as a district court judge.
His new appointment is subject to Senate confirmation.
Man hurt in Manoa Falls fall
HONOLULU - The Honolulu Fire Department said that a man was seriously injured after he plunged 80 feet at Manoa Falls on Saturday.
The Hawaii Star-Advertiser reported that the 35-year-old Oahu resident was apparently rappelling down the fourth in a series of waterfalls when he slammed into the base of the third waterfall. Fire department spokesman Capt. Terry Seelig said that the man was with a group hiking outside the established trail. The man was found semiconscious and was airlifted to a hospital.

Nyack College/ATS Administrators Celebrate Employee Service
Memories resurrected and memories created.
Tears released and laughter unleashed.
It all happened at the 2009 annual Faculty-Staff Luncheon, Monday, May 11 on the Rockland County campus of Nyack College, hosted by President Dr. Michael G. Scales and his executive team of vice presidents. Employees of the college and seminary were applauded the dedication, loyalty, and longevity.
Ms. Robin Luce, Administrative Assistant to the Vice President for Student Development, Nyack Rockland County campus. Her master's degree in counseling, her experience as an educator, and her spirit of love and wisdom equipped Robin to regularly comfort and encourage students, staff, and faculty.
Dr. Eleanor Pease, who came to Nyack College as a student in 1953, ends her tenure in the role of TESOL Department Chair and Department Head of Modern Languages and Linguistics. Her pace-setting contributions were detailed in a tribute written by Kristen Luba based on the Dr. Suess poem, "Oh The Places You Will Go." Dr. Pease heads for the Sunshine State.
Dr. JinTae Kim, Director of Korean Ministry Studies at Alliance Theological Seminary leaves a legacy as a major influencer of students. He will pastor a church in Philadelphia.
Dr. Fernando Arzola, an Asst. Professor of Youth Ministries and Director of Interdisciplinary Studies is the new dean of the College of Arts & Science. As he steps into this role, former Arts & Science dean, Dr. Lyndell O'Hara will become Department Head of the History Department and oversee The Honors Program.
Two employees were recognized for 25 years of service.
Professor Jeff Quinn, Pastoral Ministries Department has worn many hats during his tenure. What makes him "Mr. Nyack?" President Scales rattled off a number of reasons. Prof. Quinn served as an admissions counselor, a Nyack College alumni director, an ATS Admissions/Registrar, an ATS vice president, a Nyack College vice president of administration, a Adult and Continuing Education Program vice president and now his current role as a professor. In addition to being a friend, Dr. Scales calls Jeff, "one of our most gifted communicators and strategic thinkers with the character, loyalty and ability to see and analyze issues."
Mrs. Elaine Holodynsky, Business Office, Senior Accountant. After one year as a secretary in Nyack's Christian Service Office, Elaine found her niche in the Business Office where she has served faithfully for the last 24 years. During that time she has seen the changing of the guard many times: treasurers, business office managers, controllers, and office staff have come and gone. Today she oversee all business functions. "She makes sure that financially we do things right. She asks the hard questions and requires processes, procedures and systems to be followed," Executive Vice President David Jennings, proudly shares. "I am personally grateful for the character and integrity in which she oversees the processing and accounting of our financial resources."

Miss Kerry Callender
The Commitment to Mission Award, originally awarded for a number of years to an individual with more than 10 years of service and second with less than five years. Presented to one faculty member and one staff member, renamed award has been reinstituted. An appeal for nominations was solicited from all full-time employees and the 13 forms submitted were reviewed by the Executive Team. This year the Ex Team selected two people "based on evidence of outstanding efforts and the nominees achievements in relation to Nyack's core values." The 2009 Faculty Commitment to Mission Award was presented to Dr. JoAnn Looney, Dean of the School of Education.
Dr. Looney, who discovered Nyack College while surfing the net, says she has "learned more about being prayerful and faithful" and "about dying to self—not reaching to grab but to reach down inside to serve." Caught off guard while feverishly taking notes to cover the event, the 2009 Staff Commitment to Mission Award was presented to Mrs. Debbie Walker, Director of Publications & Media Relations. Debbie's understanding and personal commitment to the mission and values of Nyack College have enabled her to significantly reshape the public image of Nyack College without ever picking up a microphone or being positioned front and center. Her professionalism and humility are traits that we aspire to see in all of our faculty and staff.

Adult Diaper video reviews
Secure X-plus
The Flagship product of secure personal care products.
Thick Heavy Diaper for heavy incontinence. Features a quiet plastic backing and frontal tape zone for rip free use. Best for night use, but I have used them during the day under loose clothing as they are comfortable.
Bambino Bianco
Super absorbent diaper marketed for incontinence that is produced by a adult baby oriented company.
Best used for overnight and long periods between changes. They are Comfortable to wear all day, but are bulky so loose fitting clothes must be worn. They are a good quality diaper, but tend to be on the expensive side and aren't found in local stores.
Depends Underwear for Men
Pullup Incontinence underwear marketed for men and made by Depends.
Grey in color, light weight and very discreet, but it comes at a cost to protection. These are best for light bladder problems and not for fecal incontinence at all. Although the pull up design seems like a good idea at first you will soon find the down side when you try to put on a clean pair in a public restroom. Absorbancy is mediocre and padding does not go the full length of the diaper. On the plus side they are cheap and found in local stores.
Tena Classic Plus
A good low cost, cloth backed diaper, designed for Moderate urinary or bowel incontinence.
These diapers are a good low cost solution for moderate urinary or bowel incontinence. They are cloth backed, which is more discreet than cheap plastic backing, but not as good as high quality plastic backing. They don't have a lot of padding, have relatively high leg gatherers, and come up high on the back making them good for fecal incontinence. You can get a pack at Walmart for under 9 bucks.
Dry 24/7
Developed and designed by Dry Care, for ultra heavy incontinence.
The thickest and most absorbent disposable diaper money can buy. Wow, are these things' absorbant. If you have heavy Urinary incontinent and money is no object, these are for you. Because of the extra thickness they only work so-so for fecal incontinence. They have a nice thick and quiet plastic backing that other manufacturers should strive to use. Great in situations where you have to go all day and night between changes.
Tranquility slimline Breathable
Cloth backed, economical diaper designed for moderate urinary or fecal incontinence.
The diapers I tested are the breathable version that are very similar to Tena Classics. They also come in plastic backed (will review someday). They have double side walls, a high back, and a slim design that gives more room for fecal matter making them a decent lost cost solution for fecal incontinence. They are middle of the road for absorbency and I would recommend the Tranquility All-Through-the-Night diapers for heavy urinary problems. They are a non-discreet peach color.
About My adult diaper video reviews
I am fecal incontinent, active, and have long spells where I have no access to a bathroom. Because of this I tend to favor the heavy brief type diapers and have a negative bias towards the pullup type. My condition is rare and most people with incontinence problems have bladder or bladder and bowel control problems. Also, statistically people with bladder and bowel problems are not active. Because of my unique problem, activity level, and age it puts me in a good position to test products under more severe conditions than some of the products where designed for.
Adult Diapers come in many different styles and price ranges. As with so many other things you generally get what you pay for and with higher pay comes more absorbency and better protection. That's not to say the cheaper diapers aren't any good and they may be better for your needs if you're on a strict budget and/or only have a slight problem. People come in many different shapes and sizes and people's needs can vary widely so what may work for me may not work for you. With this in mind I created these videos as more of a visual reference rather than relating the diapers to specific needs.

Yeah, well, my Mario Kart Tournament thread did not go as well as i had hoped, so decided to make another thread, with another kind of game, game trivia!
In this game, someone asks a question and whoever answers it asks the next question. These questions can be just simple, who am i? to multiple choice, or go and get me this picture, if you do, you ask the next question!
So, i'll go first!
I have wings and a bow and arrow. I have a halo too. Who am i?

Meals on Wheels delivers to about 170 meals each Monday through Friday, which are distributed among clients living in areas throughout 11 hot meal routes and one route for frozen food.
"Many of our routes are experiencing a drop in volunteer driver support, mainly due to people retiring from driving or being re-employed," said Peg Marshall, executive director. "Two hours every four weeks is a small commitment of time and the people who receive the meals are extremely grateful," she added. "Volunteers frequently tell us it is deeply rewarding to know how this act of kindness is so valued by those we serve."
There is an immediate need for volunteers who will deliver up to 16 meals for two hours, once every four weeks.
Routes operate in the following areas: Alloway (includes Quinton), Carneys Point, Penns Grove, Pennsville (two routes), Salem (two routes), Woodstown (two routes), Elmer, and Pittsgrove.
Volunteers receive orientation with other trained drivers prior to signing on to make sure that they are comfortable with their chosen route.
Please contact Christine Finken, program administrator, by email at email@example.com or call 856-935-3663 for a volunteer package.

America Is Not the Grinch
Between the steady drip of Edward Snowden leaks about the National Security Agency and Syria's slow burn, it seems pretty easy these days to cast the United States as the villain when it comes to international affairs. That makes this holiday season an ideal one to debunk one of the longest-standing myths about the United States: that it is miserly when it comes to helping other nations through foreign aid.
Much of the myth of America's stinginess traces its roots back to the 1970 commitment by the U.N. General Assembly that rich countries should dedicate 0.07 percent of their gross national income (GNI) to what is dubbed "official development assistance" (ODA). Although a number of European countries have embraced the target, the United States has never done so, arguing that it is a poor measure of America's relative commitment to helping the poor in the developed world.
Critics of the United States are quick to point out that the United States, at around 0.02 percent, has one of the lowest rates of official aid to GNI of the major industrialized countries, which is true. But this statistic says a lot more about the ridiculousness of how we currently measure ODA than it does about what the United States brings to the table.

What is in this article?:
- Ignite on Widestrike cotton risky
- Not a recommended practice
- Easily identified
• Some farmers have found they can get similar results on weed control by using Phytogen varieties that contain the Widestrike gene for insect control and spraying this cotton with Ignite herbicide.
• While it's legal, it's high risk and not a practice encouraged by either Bayer, which markets Ignite herbicide as part of their Liberty Link system of cotton varieties or Dow, which markets Phytogen brand cotton seed that contain the Widestrike gene for insect management.
More About:
CLEMSON UNIVERSITY Cotton Specialist Mike Jones conducted tests to demonstrate damage to Widstrike cotton from applications of LibertyLink herbicide.
Not a recommended practice
• Phytogen and Dow AgriSciences do not recommend or warrant use of glufosinate herbicides on Widestrike cotton and all risk of crop damage or loss associate with this practice is the responsibility of the grower.
Clemson University Cotton Specialist Mike Jones conducted a series of tests in the 2011 cropping season to determine the amount of damage from applying varying rates of glufosinate on Widestrike cotton.
Speaking at a recent field day, Jones stressed that Dow and Phytogen do not recommend this practice and, therefore, neither does Clemson University — or any other university.
In his research project at the PeeDee Agriculture Research and Extension Center near Florence, S.C., Jones looked at one-time applications of 29, 58, 87 and 116 ounces per acre of glufosinate on Widestrike cotton.
He notes that it is legal to apply up to 87 ounces of glufosinate on cotton during one growing season.
LibertyLink 1773, which is tolerant to glufosinate, was planted in side-by-side plots next to Phytogen 375 cotton, which contains the Widestrike gene. The cotton in this test was planted on May 16, in 40-foot long plots.
Glufosinate was sprayed on the plots at the three leaf stage, at various rates, at the nine leaf stage at varying rates and at both the three and nine leaf stage at various rates.
"Even at the lower rates we did see an interaction between varieties," Jones says. "That's exactly what Dow and Phytogen predicted would happen," he adds
The Clemson researchers used a 0-10 rating scale to measure overall plant health in the plots. Across all treatments there was more damage in the Widestrike plots than in the LibertyLink varieties, he points out.
How much the leaf loss and plant discoloration affects yield loss and cotton quality will be determined when the cotton plots are harvested.
In similar tests at the University of Georgia, researchers saw consistent 15-20 percent leaf loss, but there was no corresponding loss of yield.

Fagelman has helped me through everything from minor problems to really obscure ones that required referral to specialists. He's good at communicating, and most importantly he trusts me when somethings up. My only two beefs are that he's occasionally rushed (although he also is the only doctor I know where same-day appointments are the norm for urgent care, so maybe that's why), and that he ends up sometimes doing extra exams or screenings (I suspect to keep the billings up on my insurance company, which pays him around $35 for an office visit.
Won't help with my seizures, fluff it off as nothing. See a shrink, he tells me. I need help, he should demand some test on me to find a cure or something like that. What should I do, I do like him as a doctor, but I need answers, not the run around.
3 times I have made flu shot appointments , only to show up at the Doctor's office to find that the flu shot is not available . The receptionist promises to call when it is available ...... still waiting ......

What an excellent thought! Let me go try that immediately...
Great thought, but no joy. I really rather expect the hardware
is just not something VMS has been configured to support right now.
No big loss at the moment, as the entire machine will need to be
replaced with an Itanium model, and all the software ported to IA64,
before it starts getting sold. Alpha is great, but support is in the
IA64 world right now.
Just for kicks, here is the output from a SHOW DEV statement. Perhaps you or someone else may recognize the tape drive hiding in there somewhere. <grin>
P.S. It it were working, I believe it should be on the DKA600: slot. It is
LUN 6 on the PKA0: SCSI Adapter.

Unless there is a TCP endpoint in the LISTEN state (netstat -an) on
the remote system, where the endpoint is bound to the
value to
which you are trying to connect, the error message you get from telnet
is expected.
So, check netstat -an | grep LISTEN on the remote system first.
Did you start the SAP software on the remote side?

Executive was senior VP of finance for studio
James Aljian, a Tracinda Corp. executive and former Sr. VP of finance for MGM Studios and MGM/UA Ent, died of cancer April 12 in Los Angeles. He was 75.
Services will be held Saturday, April 21 at 9:30 a.m. at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 505 N. Bedford Dr., Beverly Hills.
Aljian had served on the board of directors for MGM Mirage since 1988.
He was part of a team that developed several major Las Vegas casinos, including Caesars Palace, the Flamingo Hotel, the International Hotel — now the Las Vegas Hilton – and the first MGM Grand Hotel.
Aljian was a close associate and friend of MGM Mirage majority shareholder Kirk Kerkorian. At the time of his death, he was an executive with Kerkorian's investment company Tracinda Corp.
"I first met Jim in 1961 when he was an auditor with Ernst & Ernst. He was tough and I knew right away that I needed him on my team. Jim's loyal confidence and business acumen proved invaluable to me over the years, but no more valuable than his friendship, which meant so much," said Kerkorian.
Aljian was a former senior vice president of finance for MGM Studios in the 1970s and held the same position at and MGM/UA Entertainment in the early 1980s.
A native of Oakland, Aljian served in the U.S. Army 3rd Infantry Division.
He is survived by his wife, Marjorie; three children; a sister; a brother and six grandchildren.
Donations may be made to the UCLA Foundation for the James Aljian Memorial Fund at the David Geffen School of Medicine, 10945 Le Conte Ave., Suite 3132, Los Angeles, CA 90095.

|home | Does Neutering Cause Obesity in Hous . . .
Does Neutering Cause Obesity in Housepets?
Contrary to what you may have been told or read on the Internet, neutering (ovariohysterectomy/spay in females, castration in males) does not cause obesity in housepets. That said, neutering can PREDISPOSE housepets to obesity. Here's how:
Research has shown that neutering causes hormonal shifts that result in changes in levels of leptin, progestins, and other hormones in the body. Some of these changes can lead to increase in a housepets appetite while at the same time decreasing the amount of energy (calories) burned during normal resting metabolic processes.
In other words, some neutered housepets may develop a tendency to eat more, while burning fewer calories at rest, than intact housepets. And the more fat these housepets put on, the worse the problem gets and the lazier they become (hence the reasoning behind the myth that neutering makes housepets "lazy").
If housepets are neutered, there are several measures pet owners can take to make sure their four-legged friends don't pack on the pounds. Here they are:
1. Reduce the amount of food fed (as recommended by the manufacturer) to housepets by 25% to account for the reduced energy needs.
2. Eliminate free-choice feeding of housepets and stick to a total daily food allotment based on daily caloric need.
3. Eliminate table scraps fed to housepets, as these are usually calorie-dense (keep in mind that feeding a 15 pound Dachshund two french fries is like you and I eating a "supersized" portion of fries!).
4. Offering healthy treats to housepets is fine as long as they stay under their daily caloric limits.
5. Maintain/institute a consistent exercise program for all housepets.
If you're thinking, "Maybe I won't neuter my pet and then I won't have to worry about it," lose the thought. The health benefits afforded by neutering housepets are just too plentiful to ignore. Besides, if you follow the guidelines above, you won't have to worry about your dog or cat becoming obese.
For example, neutered housepets have reduced incidences of certain types of cancer and tend to have fewer behavioral challenges than those housepets that are intact. Neutering can also save you tons on potential veterinary medical bills in the future.
Expensive veterinary visits related to dog or cat fight wounds, c-sections, emergency pyometra surgeries, prostatitis treatments, feline AIDs treatments, prostate cancer treatments, bilateral radical mastectomies, and perineal hernia repairs are just a few of the conditions and procedures linked to housepets that have not been neutered. So don't risk the expense, not to mention your pet's life. Get him/her neutered today.

IRVING - Three-time Pro Bowl linebacker DeMarcus Ware finally has his big contract with the Dallas Cowboys. He just won't be getting paid as much as some of the elite quarterbacks he will be trying to sack.
After months of talks that intensified during the past two weeks, Ware agreed Monday to a $78 million, six-year deal through the 2015 season that guarantees him $40 million.
"I feel like I work really hard and am really deserving of what they've given me," Ware said. "All this is behind me now. It's time to get to work. You know what it's time to bring home. I'm not going to say what it is, we're just going to show you, and I'm going to show you."
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones called Ware a "cornerstone player" for the Cowboys (4-2), who have gone 12 seasons without winning a playoff game and longer than that since winning three Super Bowl championships in four seasons (1992-95).
The 27-year-old Ware, in the final season of the contract he signed after being the 11th overall pick in the 2005 draft, has 57½ sacks while starting all 70 of his regular-season games.
"Going into this negotiation, how do you ask for too much money for DeMarcus Ware given what he's accomplished," said his agent, Pat Dye.
"We were asking for a lot more money than we ended up settling on. ... Ultimately they convinced us they were not going to pay DeMarcus like an elite quarterback, and certainly we understood that."
There were initial talks about a deal after last season, but Dye said contracts signed in August by quarterbacks Eli Manning (six years, $97 million with $35 million guaranteed) and Philip Rivers (six years, $93 million with $38 million guaranteed) provided "some kind of ceiling" and narrowed the focus in negotiations.
Talks picked up during the Cowboys' bye week which preceded their impressive 37-21 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
"We're certainly not going to be a team that's going to step up and pay a defensive player like a quarterback," said Stephen Jones, the team's vice president and owner's son. "We're not going to do that."
Still, Jones and Dye said the negotiations were never contentious.
"It's about getting what you deserve," Ware said. "I feel like I've gotten what I deserve in my situation."
Jerry Jones said he shook hands with Ware before Sunday's game, agreeing to the deal they finalized Monday. The two were seen talking and laughing as they walked together in the tunnel toward the locker room after the game.
Ware has a unique blend of strength, agility and quickness, allowing him to make plays and be a dominating force all over the field.
He has increased his sack total each season, from eight as a rookie to 11½ to 14 and then an NFL-leading 20 last season.

FOR the past two years, Sean Caldwell, of Mount Airy, has been struggling to support himself and raise his children on his $8-an-hour part-time salary on the maintenance crew at McDonald's at Broad and Allegheny, in North Philly.
It just hasn't been nearly enough - so he scrounges for whatever else he can.
Caldwell, 35, started a neighborhood lawn-mowing business and takes other odd jobs, such as cleaning out garages, but when he did his 2013 taxes he still saw that he'd made only $9,000. To bridge the gap, Caldwell, like many workers in the fast-food industry, received food stamps and other taxpayer-funded benefits, such as Medicaid.

The doorbell startled Evie as she fixated on breading the tofu slices perfectly. She loved making Susan's Pistachio Crusted Tofu recipe and always got lost in the smell of the ingredients.
Dusting her hands quickly over the sink while checking her reflection in the window, she listened to make sure the iPod was still on tonight's playlist. Then she half-jogged to the door, slowing as she approached so she didn't sound too desperate.
Opening the door, she noticed he looked even hotter by the light of the hallway fluorescents. "Dang…how does he DO that?" she puzzled.
"I hope you don't mind, I brought you a cupcake for dessert." Mitch said. She just about swooned a little too noticeably, marveling at his thoughtfulness and his wonderfully butch name.
As he walked past her toward the kitchen, she caught a whiff of his day; the grunge of the subway, his Thai lunch, and the smell of his new car. She inhaled quietly. Yep, "the only thing that smells better than him is my Green Meanie Martini," she mused.
He sauntered to the fridge looking every bit a cool Instagram. Opening the door, he paused while peering at the many fancy jars and bottles. He shifted to the other foot then asked, "Don't you have any Bud Light?"
Making a Green Meanie Martini
Make the ginger syrup and kale juice ahead of time and refrigerate until needed.
- 1 ounce ginger syrup (recipe below)
- 1 ounce kale/apple juice (how to do this in a blender below)
- 2 ounces limoncello (or 1 to 1 ratio of limoncello and vodka)
Add syrup, juice and limoncello to a shaker with ice. Shake, pour into martini glass and garnish with lemon.
Ginger Simple Syrup
- 3/4 to 1 cup thinly sliced ginger, no need to peel
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups water
- Bring all ingredients to a soft boil, turn heat down to medium-high and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. It's done when it reduces by about half, bubbles like a syrup, and a taste test confirms a strong ginger flavor.
- Strain into seal-able container and refrigerate until needed. Yields about a cup of syrup.
Kale/Apple Juice via a Blender
- 1 bundle of kale leaves, torn from stem (about 14 leaves)
- 1 large apple, chopped (your choice of flavor)
- 1 cup water
- Place items in blender as follows: chopped apple, then kale, then water. Blend until very smooth with no visible chunks. I use a Blendtec and have not tried this in a normal blender.
- Strain resulting smoothie in a nut bag or paint strainer bag over a big bowl. Paint strainer bags are about 1/4 the prices of a nut bag and you can get them at the hardware store.
- Go slow, if it splatters on you, it can stain. Twist the bag like you would a garbage bag and slowly squeeze the juice from the pulp.
- Pour juice in a jar and refrigerate until needed. Attempt to clean the bag. You may save the kale pulp and use in soups or smoothies.
TIP: I used Lacinato Kale for it's milder flavor but you could try other kales of course.

A derringer looks like a decent weapon to me- like a two-shot single action .38 snubnose. But while I hit pretty good with a snubbie, the only derringer I ever shot sucked and I have heard nothing but bad about them. How about that cobra "longbore"? It has a little more barrel length- anyone shoot one? I am really surprised cobra makes such a crummy product (according to all posts)- with just a little work, surely they could make the thing half-way decent?

I have been so impressed with the frankenistas lately! There are so many wonderful creations out in the polish universe right now, and it's kind of stressing me out a little bit trying to get ahold of the ones that I want! :)
Onto today's polish. This one is called Party On My Yacht, and it is amazing.
Party On My Yacht is a sheer white based polish with gold, purple, pink, and green hex glitter. It also has bits of blue bar glitter here and there. The glitter coverage is easy to work with. I just painted on three coats of the polish like it was any other polish, and the glitter dispersed evenly on its own. It was also incredibly easy to control, and I didn't need to do any clean up on this manicure at all.
After the application was said and done, the manicure was hardly bumpy at all. I put on a thick coat of topcoat and it smoothed out effortlessly.
My favorite part about this polish is the bright pops of color on the sheer white canvas. I love that the glitter in previous layers looks buried, but you can still see it. It's like Mardi Gras mixed with Funfetti cake!
Pretty and Polished polishes can be purchased at Chelsea's Etsy Shop. Party On My Yacht retails for $8.00 for the full sized 15mL bottle. It is a 3-free and cruelty free polish.

• A preadolescent youth basketball program was prospectively studied to determine injury rates and the kinds of injuries sustained. The overall injury rate was 7.6% (39 injuries among the 510 children aged 5 to 12 years). Girls had a higher injury rate than boys (P<.02). Only 12 children (2.4%) suffered significant injuries as defined by the inability to play for at least one session. Most injuries were contusions (35.9%), followed by strains or sprains (28.2%), epistaxis (12.8%), lacerations (5.1%), and one finger fracture (2.6%), the most significant injury. Games were more likely to produce injuries than practice sessions; most injuries occurred in the second half of game play. This study documents a low injury rate in an organized preadolescent basketball program.

Representatives of Past and Future UNCCD COP Presidencies Issue Call for Action
3 September 2011: Representatives of past Presidents of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) Conferences of the Parties (COP), along with the forthcoming COP 10 host, the Republic of Korea, convened in Geneva, Switzerland, on 3 September 2011, to discuss upcoming meetings of the UN General Assembly on the theme "Addressing desertification, land degradation and drought in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication," and UNCCD COP 10.
The "UNCCD Geneva Call for Urgent Action on the Implementation of the Convention" that resulted from this event calls on Parties to support the implementation of the Convention through building effective partnerships between national and international actors and deepening actions towards improving the conditions of the affected populations and ecosystems and generating global benefits.
It calls for synergies at the country-level among activities related to the Rio Conventions on biodiversity, climate change and desertification, and for strengthening collaboration with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), taking advantage of the UN Decade on Biodiversity and the UN Decade for Deserts and the Fight against Desertification. The Call emphasizes the need to strengthen the UNCCD to become a global authority on scientific and technical knowledge on the issues of desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD) and to align national actions with the 10-year strategy for 2008-2018.
The Call also confirms support to take the necessary measures at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20) towards mainstreaming DLDD as a major component of sustainable development and poverty eradication.

Your best bet would probably be to swtich to a different vendor. One that
is familiar with the operating system shouldn't have to take too long to
straighten out this problem for you. Have the contract with the vendor
specify some admin training for yourself. A *good* vendor should already
be planning on including this, unless you're contracting with them to
provide systems administration.
If you're interested in learning, the manuals are a pretty good place to
start. They're a bit boring after a while, but not too bad.

This could be any number of things, really. I'd have to see the situation
to give any hard advice. It sounds as though perhaps the directory services
database isn't opening. That should show as an error doing the server
boot sequence.

Well, you've got a good start in knowing what you don't know, and not
being afraid to admit it. Cheap is rarely a good thing when it comes to
computers, though.

1. Start Running Early – Start your Entrepreneurial Life / Start-up venture, as early as possible. This will not only give you more time to invest in it but also to face your problems and obstructions early in life.
2. Collection Coins is as important as Running – Start-up or entrepreneurship is not about being busy or surrounded with work every time. It's about working towards development and progress. If you will keep running i.e. doing work without collecting coins i.e. being productive or becoming profitable, than you will end up with only a high score (Busy Life) and with No coins (Monetary Gains).
3. Your Run, Full of Surprises – In temple run, your enemy or obstruction are not only the freaky creatures but also each and everything that's comes in your way i.e. branches of trees, long bridging gaps, fire gate etc. Likewise, in your entrepreneurship journey you will not face any one specific kind of problem. Unlike any big well establish company, you will be handling everything i.e. from sales to marketing, finance to HR. So, BE READY and BE FLEXIBLE for every kind of problem.
So, START RUNNING for your "IDOL" and STOP at NOTHING. :)
