All his life Willis Hammett has lived by the cowboy's code: ride hard, drink hard and stay one step ahead of the sheriff. But Willis, 69—a cowpoke who rides herd for cattle ranches in the foothills around Valley Springs, Calif.—has had a problem with that third part lately, and if he ever gets back in the saddle again, he may want to check a Breathalyzer first.
One afternoon last December Hammett saddled up his chestnut gelding, Jug, and clopped down Highway 26 to town. After hitching Jug to a flagpole in a vacant lot, Hammett sashayed into a saloon to quench his thirst, an endeavor that kept him occupied—in several taverns—nigh onto midnight.
As the evening wore on, Willis recalls, an officer of the Humane Society, Beverly Scott, lassoed him. "She comes a 'slinking in there and set down about three stools away. She says, 'The sheriff's office told me to tell you to get on that horse and ride out of town or for me to take it to the shelter.' " Hammett admits that he sassed the officer a mite on the way out of town, but Scott remembers it as something more: "He was acting like a wild Comanche, shouting and galloping his horse all over the road and sidewalks."
Deputy Sheriffs James McKeon and Bill Whitlock arrived to join the discussion. They invited Willis to take a sobriety test. "He was obnoxious," McKeon says. "He told me where I could put my sobriety test, and if I had done that, I would not be able to sit in a squad car, on a horse or anywhere else."
Willis spent the night in a drying-out tank and was charged with, of all things, drunk driving. In California anyone who rides or drives an animal on a roadway is subject to the vehicle code. Says McKeon: "He rode his 1,300-pound horse into the middle of a state highway and sat there. I couldn't let him go."
The charge has since been changed to plain public drunkenness, but Willis Hammett is plumb riled by now. He has requested a full-scale trial. In a few weeks, he says, he will canter old Jug down to the courthouse, confront his accusers and dare a jury of his peers to sit in judgment of him and the horse he rode in on.

The infradiaphragmatic spread of carcinoma of the lower esophagus is a wellknown phenomenon. Rouvière11 describes the regional collecting lymphatic trunks of the distal third of the esophagus as descending toward the abdominal cavity. In studying large numbers of autopsy specimens of carcinoma of the esophagus, Dormanns3 reported that in 285 cases with lower-third esophageal carcinoma, 121 (42%) exhibited metastases to the abdominal lymph nodes. In this country Churchill and Sweet1 reported subdiaphragmatic lymph node metastases in 8 of 16 patients with lower-third esophageal carcinoma.
The spread of esophageal carcinoma to the stomach itself is believed by Willis16 to be due to lymphatic permeation. Kaufmann,6 in discussing secondary carcinomas of the stomach, states: "Secondary carcinomas occur most frequently by continuity from the esophagus and are of the squamous cell type. The mode of spread is via the submucous, the subserous lymphatics, or both; in the first

Dr Jeremy Cook
Jeremy Cook is a Principal Teaching Fellow, now working part-time but still closely involved with administration and teaching of the BSc and MSci in Neuroscience at UCL. He read Physiological Sciences at Oxford, and obtained his DPhil at the University Laboratory of Physiology there for studies of axon guidance in the visual system. After a brief interlude as a clinical student, he began his research and teaching career in the Department of Human Anatomy at Oxford and came to UCL in 1983, initially to continue investigating the role of activity-based synaptic mechanisms in setting up topographic brain maps. During the 1990s he became interested in the close relationship between neuronal diversity in the vertebrate retina and the regular 'mosaic' patterning of retinal neurons, a topic to which he has made several authoritative and well-cited contributions and in which he continues to play an active part as a journal reviewer. He is also the author of a CD-based learning resource for students and teachers of medical embryology, 'The Embryonic Disk', which is used in a majority of UK medical schools and by students world-wide.

Cricket music is to September what peeper music is to April and May — an unequivocal sign of the times. Field crickets convene in my living room whenever a cold front rolls out of the north. They scurry along walls, shadowed by the heat register, traveling from one throw carpet to another. The house is theirs.
At night we hear indoor crickets serenades. Going to bed is like going camping. From dusk to dawn territorial males broadcast salvos of triple chirps or continuous high-whining trills to attract female crickets to their corner of the house.
Occasionally, one crosses open ground, skidding in full view over the slippery tile floor. When Casey, my 14-month-old son, spots a cricket, he drops to all fours and trails it with a short-lived but intense determination. Usually, the cricket gets away or Casey's attention wanes, but once in a while he grabs it, radiating exuberance. I encourage his interest in those little forces of nature, those seemingly pedestrian beings that most of us long ago ceased to consider.
Although he has no formal training n entomology, Casey is learning about crickets. I tell him that crickets are among the oldest of insects, that their ancestors — the planet's first minstrels — fiddled to dinosaurs, and that their music is mechanical, produced by rubbing their front wings together. The base of each wing has a file, I say, a scraper, and a vibrating membrane, the tympanum. The file of one wing rubs against the scraper of the other wing, setting both tympana in motion. Crickets hear through the middle section of their front legs — the tibia — I continue.
Unimpressed by my pedantry, Casey eyes a black cricket scooting across the floor. I try a less scholarly approach: "Let's get the cricket!" Now we're on the same wavelength. We chase the cricket into a corner. It darts behind the bookcase.
From a remote corner of the kitchen, another cricket sings. We're off. Casey heads for it with determination. Unwilling to watch this lesson end in a cricket-shaped splotch on the floor, I reach his quarry first and and gently pick it up, cradling it in my hand.
Its passionate song seeps through my fingers — a metronome that keeps cadence with the changing season. It evokes a vision of meadows frosted with asters, gilded with goldenrods, of a cold moon embedded in September clouds.

A scheme that teaches chess in school lessons has boosted children's maths skills, increased the number of girls playing and could end the private school dominance of tournaments.
Experts say that the game is the perfect antidote to technology, because it teaches children to concentrate for long periods.
A state school has now won the national schools chess championship for the first time in its 26-year history. Reading School won the match, organised by the English Chess Federation, defeating Manchester Grammar School, an independent school that came first the previous three years.

The easiest fudge ever. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and added in a cup of chopped pecans. A delicious fudge that only took minutes to prepare.
Super easy fudge! I didn't use nuts so I could share the goodies and not end up eating it all myself! LOL I used Guittard milk chocolate chips and my homemade vanilla. Delicious! :) I also used my Perfect Brownie Pan to form the squares, but I don't suggest it for anyone else. They squares are a little too short and getting them out of the pan was a bit of a pain, even if they are cut perfectly. ;) Thanks for posting, CocinaQueen! Made & enjoyed for the 2012 All Aboard the L-O-V-E train! tag game.
I made this with the semi-sweet chips. No one would eat it as the chocolate was overpowering. I will try again using the milk chocolate chips and give you an update.

To the Editor:
With no background in business whatsoever, President Barack Obama is now going to jump start a moribund economy and play populist nag in the process.
Joining him in this failure is a coterie of Ivy League eggheads and
career politicians who believe vapid dictates are all it takes for the
business down the street to begin hiring. Obama has gone from
commander-in-chief to lecturer-in-chief.
Is there no Democrat adult who can walk into the White House and fill Obama in on how the real world operates?
For those liberals going ballistic right now, I think the last four years of George W. Bush were abysmal as well. The economic meltdown was a bipartisan screw up of epic proportions. Undocumented home mortgage lending, cheap interest rates, derivatives on Wall Street and government-sanctioned housing Ponzi schemes that make Bernie Madoff look like an amateur all came from Washington, and both political parties.
Now, give it a rest.
Obama's radical social agenda was even too much for Democrats to stomach. With both the House and Senate in his control, Obama failed all on his own. As Napoleon said, "Never interrupt an enemy when he is making a mistake," so the Republicans sat quietly and let failure take its course. Thank God.
So, now what do we do?
Simple. Get out of the way, Washington, and let the dust settle.
The intrusion of government bailouts never let the economy go through the phase of creative destruction, which is necessary in our free-market system. Safety nets are one thing, but to pick corporate winners and losers was a colossal mistake.
Main Street got no bailout and it's already doing its part. We're tossing out incompetents in governments nationwide, getting tough on debt and borrowing, spending more wisely and demanding responsibility on the use of tax dollars.
Now, it's Obama's turn.
Returned bailout money and as-yet-unspent stimulus funds should be used to cut capital gains, business and payroll taxes — across the board, permanently. Once businesses know what the future is, they will begin to hire, grow and expand.
No bogus health care takeovers or taxing energy use, either. Make health insurance more portable, allow coverage to be purchased across state lines, purchasing of coverage, negotiate coverage of pre-existing conditions and initiate lawsuit reform. Throw open the doors to all energy options, demand responsibility and liability, and get out of the way.
The jobs will surge and so will tax revenue.
Common-sense solutions that moms and dads live by every day aren't glamorous, but they work. Obama should embrace them and send the eggheads home.
Remember that professionals built the Titanic, but an amateur built the Ark. We'll save you a seat onboard, Mr. President.
Oh, by the way, Mr. Obama, if Steve Jobs from Apple knocks on the door? Let him in.

March Of The Living Marks Holocaust Remembrance Day At Auschwitz
Category: Media & Culture
/ Apr 08, 2013 1:46PM EDT
Several thousand people including Holocaust survivors and Israeli youths walked from the site of the World War II era Nazi German death camp of Auschwitz to the Birkenau camp on Monday (April 8) to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. It was the 22nd march to pay homage to the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust and also honor those who participated in the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto 70 years ago. The March of the Living began at the main gate of the Auschwitz death camp with the playing of a ram's horn. It ended in Birkenau, a second part of the Nazi death camp built later. Marchers from around the world participated in the commemorations at the site of one of the most notorious Nazi German death camps. Marchers chanted songs and waved Israeli flags. "This is our history," said Yaki Saada from Israel. "We have no future without the past. And if you want to know what your future, you have to come here." Students Lisa and Pauline from Germany said that it was important for young Germans not to forget their country's history. "It's our part not to forget our history. So it's important to get to know everything here and to visit the ... Auschwitz," said Lisa. "I mean, the German people did this and it's not so... I think we should show that we are not the same, like the Germans from years before," said Pauline. As many as 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, perished in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, either in the gas chambers or from freezing temperatures, starvation, sickness, medical tests and forced labor. Other victims include Polish political prisoners, Soviet prisoners of war, homosexuals, people with disabilities, and prisoners of religious faith. Poland was home to Europe's largest Jewish community of some 3.2 million people before World War Two, but most of them died under the Nazi German occupation. The camp was liberated by Soviet soldiers on January 27, 1945. Video Source: Reuters

"Glial Engineering with Dendrimers Aimed Towards Targeted Nanotherapies for Neurodegenerative Diseases" by Dr. Kannan Rangaramanujam, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
10/09/2012 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Event Navigation
Seminar Abstract:
Neuroinflammation, caused by activated microglia and astrocytes, plays a key role in the pathogenesis of cerebral palsy (CP), retinal degeneration, and other debilitating neurodegenerative disorders. Engineering and reprogramming the microglial response, to achieve targeted attenuation of neuroinflammation, can be a potent therapeutic strategy. However, drug delivery to the central nervous system is strongly restricted for most drugs by the blood-brain-barrier, making treatment of diffuse neuroinflammation a challenge. We take advantage of the unique, intrinsic, pathology-dependent, biodistribution patterns of dendrimers (with no targeting moieties) in diseases models of neurodegeneration. For example, dendrimers are transported to the periventricular region of the brain of newborn rabbit kits with cerebral palsy (CP), whereas little brain uptake is seen in healthy animals. Interestingly, they further localize selectively in activated microglia and astrocytes in animals with CP. Such selective localization in activated microglia is also seen in retinal degeneration models, upon intravitreal administration.1 Building on these findings, we have designed and synthesized dendrimer-drug nanodevices, taking advantage of their rich surface functionality using appropriate linking chemistry. They can deliver and release the drug in the targeted tissue in a tailored and sustained manner. Two examples of this approach of targeting neuroinflammation the retina (intravitreal administration)2 and the brain (intravenous administration)2 will be presented. We show that a single intravenous dose of dendrimer-drug conjugate, administered after birth to rabbit kits with CP, results in significant improvement in motor function along with decrease in neuroinflammation and oxidative/neuronal injury, followed by improved myelination, by 5 days of age.1 These studies suggest that attenuation of ongoing neuroinflammation, achieving by appropriate engineering of the glial response, can have significant positive consequences in these and other debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. Application of this approach to designing dendrimer-based targeted therapeutic platforms is being explored in a variety of systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation-associated disorders.

It looks like the rumors of the iPod classic's impending death were in fact true. Today, the iPod classic loses the ability to get new games, as they are nowhere to be found on iTunes.
Until today, buried at the bottom of the Apps Store drop down menu there was an option for iPod Click Wheel Games. That option is now nowhere to be found. Gone, too, are the games if you try to search by them by name. So, if you have a few that you don't want to lose for whatever reason, make sure you don't delete them, or be sure that they're backed up before you do. The iPod Click Wheel Games section had a good run, though. It debuted in 2006 with a few Apple made apps, followed by apps from publishers like EA and Square-Enix. Some developers like Harmonix even took advantage of the early App Store predecessor. It's sad to think that those games like Phase are forever lost in the ether.
The demise of iPod Click Wheel Games lends some credit to the rumors that the iPod classic will be no more in the near future. Apple hasn't updated the device in a while, it's just been hanging around as the option for those who really need the extra storage. With Apple moving toward Flash storage though, it was obvious the iPod classic with it's spinning disk would be phased out or changed beyond recognition soon. If the iPod classic dies, there's no space for those who want more than 64GB of storage on their music player, but you could argue that with iCloud you get a lot more (assuming you bought your music from iTunes, or buy iTunes Music Match). Hopefully this means we'll see some storage bumps in the iPod touch, but that seems doubtful.

I miss Seth Cohen
November 22, 2013 - Nick Dutro
I am going to preface this with two things about me: 1) I am life-long fan of comic books and 2) I loved Fox's '00s teen drama "The O.C."
As to why those things matter, I need to relay a story from the office two days ago: In a conversation with a co-worker, it was said to me that he was deeply hurt by the death of a character on a recent episode of "Person of Interest," followed by him saying he is no longer watching "New Girl" due to the end of the relationship between two of the characters. It's a pain I can understand, if only for a slightly different reason. You see, I miss Seth Cohen.
Seth Cohen, played by Adam Brody in "The O.C." reflected many of the characteristics that I identified with as a teenager in 2003: awkward around girls, a social jokester and a comic-book aficionado. To say he was the reason I liked the show is an understatement.
But the sad fact is that "The O.C." lasted for only four seasons (two of them good), and sadly Seth Cohen will probably never return to serialized drama (or Adam Brody for that matter, whose star has not shined as bright since then). Leaving a character behind when the show bids farewell is just a fact of life, one that tends be the case with most forms of media. Most.
One of the beautiful things about being a reader of comic books is that you never really have to say good-bye to the characters you love. My first comic book was a hand-me-down issue of "War Machine." That comic book series was canceled, but the character lived on, and on, into multiple other comics, and then he was even brought to live on the big screen by Terrance Howard and Don Cheadle in the "Iron Man" movies. My favorite superhero team, the Fantastic Four, have been published almost non-stop (in a number of comic series and spin-offs) since they first were introduced in 1961. Even when characters die they are sure to be resurrected again in a few years, making even fatality a temporary bid adieu.
This fall "The O.C." celebrated it's 10th anniversary, and there was no sign of the show returning (outside of a fun "Where would they be now" from creator Josh Schwartz in a recent issues of Entertainment Weekly), so I'll probably never get to hang out with Seth Cohen -- or the characters Ryan or Summer for that matter -- again. At least I was able to spend the time with him that I did, and who knows, maybe one day I could let him live on in the pages of a comic book. I wonder if he knows how to build Iron Man-type armor...

The ideal candidate has had operational and business development experience and has demonstrated that he/she has strategically grown a business enterprise. There is no specific industry requirement and corporate or entrepreneurial experiences are relevant.
1. While operational know how, problem solving and process improvement are important attributes for our candidate, a pure operator is not what we seek. We prefer the strategist to the operator, although this strategist will need to have the skills required to implement his/her strategies directly until the org scales to a point where a totally ops focused exec is warranted.

Similarly, building within a corporate environment could be as well regarded as a more classic entrepreneurial shoe-string experience - depending on the candidate's overall level of responsibility and leadership for the enterprise.
3. Mostly we seek a candidate who will lead and who has demonstrated success as the leader of an org or group in almost any profit driven context. The candidate's leadership must cut across all aspects of an enterprise.

Factory Farming
Gone are the days of the small farm. Farming has become a massive business like many others, with responsibilities only to its stockholders, and the goal of making maximum profit in minimum time. Factory farming treats animals like commodities, objects, and machines. Many are owned by corporations, yet many are owned by families. They are all alike in the treatment of animals as "production units."
Interested in making the switch to "humane," organic meat? Learn whether it's as good as you expect.
Animal Cruelty Issues
Chickens and Turkeys
In factory farming, each chicken is given less than half of one square foot of space. Turkeys receive less than three square feet. After they hatch, both chickens and turkeys have the ends of their beaks cut off to prevent them from attacking each other in their crowded, unnatural conditions.1 No anesthesia or painkiller is used. This process, which is known as "debeaking", has been compared to having your lips or the ends of your fingers cut off, and deprives the birds of one of their most important sources of sensory input.2
A debeaked bird cannot eat properly or explore her environment fully, nor can she preen herself or her flockmates. She may also experience acute and chronic pain in her beak, head, and face.3 Debeaking is also becoming less common in "broiler" chickens--those raised for meat--as the birds are only 45 days old at slaughter and therefore, too young to form any kind of social order.4 This is not the case for egg-laying hens.
Debeaking is only one of the mutilations performed on turkeys. They also have their toes cut off; when they are one-day old, a pair of "five-inch surgical shears" is used to clip off "the tip of the toe...including all of the toenail." The snood--the colourful, fleshy appendage that hangs over a turkey's beak--is also cut off, often with no more than a pair of scissors.5,6 Like debeaking, all of these tasks are performed without anesthesia, and they appear to result in acute and chronic pain.7
Both chickens and turkeys in modern factory farms have been genetically engineered and pumped with antibiotics; as a result they grow much faster than ever before. For example, in the 1960's, it took a turkey 32 weeks to reach slaughter size, but now it takes only 13-16 weeks. In the 1950's, it took a chicken 84 days to reach five pounds. Today, it takes 45 days8 , meaning that they are not even old enough to cluck yet when they die.
"[B]roilers now grow so rapidly that the heart and lungs are not developed well enough to support the remainder of the body, resulting in congestive heart failure and tremendous death losses." —Martin D, "Researcher Studying Growth-Induced Diseases in Broilers," Feedstuffs, May 26, 1997.
"Is it more profitable to grow the biggest bird and have increased mortality....[S]imple calculations suggest that it is better to get the weight and ignore the mortality." — Tabler GT, Mendenhall AM, "Broiler Nutrition, Feed Intake and Grower Economics," Avian Advice 5(4) (Winter 2003): 8–10.
When it comes to turkeys, they have been bred to have such large breasts that they cannot even mount and mate on their own. A method of artificial insemination is their sole means of reproduction. Breeding toms are kept in the dark for most of their lives and milked for their semen once or twice a week, while females are "cracked open" (the term used by industry representatives) twice a week. Their legs are clamped into metal forceps and they are inseminated, one after the other, as workers hurry to inseminate between 1,200 and 1,400 turkeys within two hours.
Each tom house contained about 400 males, 20 to a pen. The toms are milked once or twice a week until they are about 64 weeks old (16 mo.), by which time they can weigh up to 80 lbs. The hens are inseminated usually once, sometimes twice a week, for about a year. When these breeding birds reach the end of their cycle, they are killed and turned into lunch meat, pot pies, and pet food.
The insemination crew did 2 houses a day--6000 hens a day. Figuring a 10-hour day, that's 600 hens per hour, ten a minute. Two breakers did 10 hens a minute, or each breaker "broke" 5 hens a minute--one hen every 12 seconds.
This pace pressured the drivers to keep a steady flow of birds into the chute to supply the pit. Having been through this week after week, the birds feared the chute and bulked and huddled up. The drivers literally kicked them into the chute. The idea seemed to be to terrify at least one bird, who squawked, beat her wings in panic, and terrified the others in her group. In this way the drivers created such pain and terror behind the birds that it forced them to plunge ahead to the pain and terror they knew to be in the chute and pit ahead. 9
One factory worker described how young turkeys are curious and friendly with employees "until the first couple AIs—and then they run from you…"10
Like chickens, turkeys suffer from their considerable growth, leading Feedstuffs, an farm industry journal, to state:
Turkeys have been bred to grow faster and heavier but their skeletons haven't kept pace, which causes "cowboy legs." Commonly, the turkeys have problems standing and fall and are trampled on or seek refuge under feeders, leading to bruises and downgradings as well as culled or killed birds.11
Transport and slaughter
In Canada, turkeys and chickens can legally be transported for up to 36 hours without food, water, or rest, and there are no limits as to the length of the journey. These standards are among the worst in the industrialized world.12 They are transported in open-air crates, resulting in high mortality as the birds are exposed to all sorts of weather. Each bird is worth so little, however, that it is cheaper overall for the industry to use open-air crates. Every year in Canada, 2 million broiler chickens and 20,000 turkeys are already dead when they arrive at slaughterhouses. An additional 8 million broiler chickens and 200,000 turkeys arrive so diseased or injured that they are considered "unfit for human consumption".13
The surviving birds are handled roughly at the slaughterhouse, where they are unloaded by forklift and dropped onto a conveyor belt. With thousands of birds to be processed every hour, there is no reason for employees to stop and pick up the individual birds who miss the belt and fall to the ground.
When it comes time to slaughter the birds, they are hung by their feet on a moving rail and dragged through the stunning tank, an electrified water bath meant to stun and immobilize them. These are often set lower than is necessary to truly render the birds unconscious out of concerns that high voltage might damage the carcass and therefore diminish its value.
They are then carried past the tank to have their throats cut either by a mechanical blade or a plant employee. Often, struggling birds are cut improperly. As a result they are moved, fully conscious, to the scalding tank, where they are boiled alive. Estimates place the number of affected birds at about one in twenty; at any rate, this occurrence is so common that the industry has a term for it: "redskins."14
In an affidavit signed on January 30, 2003, former slaughterhouse worker Virgil Butler wrote that when chickens are scalded alive, they "flop, scream, kick, and their eyeballs pop out of their heads. They often come out of the other end with broken bones and disfigured and missing body parts because they've struggled so much in the tank."15

The average beef cow is born and lives on the range for the first months or years of their life. Medical care is often not provided to these animals; consequently, many fall ill and even die. A particularly common problem amongst cattle is known as "cancer eye," wherein a form of malignant cancer develops in the cow's eye and eventually eats away at their face. 16
Ranches still identify their cows in the same manner that cowboys on the range used: hot iron branding. While being branded, the animals bellow and scream. "Don't get tenderhearted," states one website on the subject. "The branding iron must burn deep enough to burn the hair and the outer layer of skin."17 "Waddling"—cutting out a chunk of the skin hanging beneath the cow's neck—is also often used as a method of identification. 18
In Canada, cows are also required to wear ear tags, which are punched through the centre of their ears. 19
These animals also suffer additional painful mutilations. Males are castrated--their testicles either sliced out, crushed, or pinched with a rubber band that cuts off bloodflow to the scrotum.20 Horns are also removed. Young calves have their horn buds either scooped out with a special tool or burned off with an electric dehorner; older ones have the horns cut away at a deep level (to prevent them from growing back) or even sawed off. This often results in "quite a bit" of blood loss.21
Hormonal growth promoters are legal in Canadian beef, though they have been banned by the European Union. There are six in use. Three are natural: progesterone, testosterone, and estradiol-17ß. Three are synthetic: trenbolone acetate (TBA), zeranol, and melengestrol acetate (MGA). The hormones are administered in the cows' feed or via implants under the skin, typically behind the ear. 22
Transport and slaughter
About 3 months before they are to be killed, range cattle—confused by the presence of humans and their sudden confinement—are rounded up and brought into feedlots. There they are fattened on unnaturally rich diets that cause metabolic problems, crowded by the thousands into dusty, manure-laden feedlots.
Cattle may be transported to several different places during their lives, often up to hundreds or thousands of miles in a single trip. In Canada, they can legally be transported for up to 52 hours without food, water, or rest, and there are no limits as to the length of the journey. These standards are among the worst in the industrialized world.23 These long trips, during which the animals are exposed to all types of weather, are extremely stressful and often result in death. This "shipping fever" costs the industry over $1 billion a year. 24
Once they get to the slaughterhouse, the cows are meant to be stunned through a mechanical blow to the head; however, with 250 cows to be processed every hour, this is often done improperly and the animals struggle, still alive.
In an April 2001 article, the Washington Post reported:
The cattle were supposed to be dead before they got to Moreno. But too often they weren't.
They blink. They make noises, he said softly. The head moves, the eyes are wide and looking around. Still Moreno would cut. On bad days, he says, dozens of animals reached his station clearly alive and conscious. Some would survive as far as the tail cutter, the belly ripper, the hide puller. They die, said Moreno, piece by piece...
"...this happens on a daily basis," said Lester Friedlander, a veterinarian and formerly chief government inspector at a Pennsylvania hamburger plant. "I've seen it happen. And I've talked to other veterinarians. They feel it's out of control." 25
Temple Grandin, Professor of animal science at Colorado State University, was commissioned by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to tour slaughterhouses in Ontario and Quebec. Her conclusions?
"Canada is falling behind the U.S... Plants in Ontario and Quebec get failing grades".26
During her visit to Canada, Grandin noted:
Out of five beef plants, two failed because of excessive use of electric prods, cattle falling on slippery floors as they lined up to be stunned, and three cattle were actually hanging upside down (hung by a chain around one leg) and bellowing as their throats were being slit.27

Canada slaughters an average of 20 million pigs every year; approximately 250,000 are from British Columbia.28 29 6 million live pigs are exported to the United States annually.30 In 2003, managers of Canada's largest pig exporter faced cruelty charges when 10,000 dead or dying pigs were found on the company's farms. Investigators discovered dead pigs piled behind barns as well as dead piglets in manure tanks, and all live pigs "were in some form of distress." 31
Gestation Crates and Piglets
There are about 1 million mother pigs in Canada, and they spend most of their lives in individual "gestation" crates, which are about 7 feet long and 2 feet wide—too small for the pigs to even to turn around. They will spend 3 to 5 years in these crates before being slaughtered. 32 This confinement produces stress- and boredom-related behaviours in these highly intelligent animals, such as the compulsive gnawing of cage bars, swaying, or pressing against water bottles. 33
In 2007 Maple Leaf Foods, the largest pork producer in Canada, announced plans to phase gestation crates out in 10 years in favour of group housing systems; these allow for a degree of freedom of movement and socialization. This change will affect about 116,000 pigs annually.34
Experience life in a virtual gestation crate:
After giving birth, mother pigs are moved to "farrowing" crates, which are wide enough for them to lie down and nurse their babies but still not large enough for them to turn around or build nests for their young. An average of 20 piglets are born to each pig annually, and 15% of these piglets die within 2 to 3 weeks. The others are taken from their mother and raised in metal pens with concrete floors.35
After this, piglets are packed into pens until they are separated to be raised for breeding or meat.36 These overcrowded conditions lead to stress-related behaviors, such as cannibalism and tail-biting. To prevent this, farmers cut off the piglets' tails and use pliers to break off the ends of their teeth. No pain-killers are used.37 Pieces are also torn out of the piglets' ears, to make individual pigs easier to identify.38
In Canada and the United States, male piglets are also castrated at an early age to prevent "boar taint", a harmless but unappealing "urine, faeces, musk or onions" scent that is released when the meat of an adult male pig is cooked. 39 40 This painful removal of the testicles, like the other "alterations," is done without any pain-killers. 41

Baseball, like any other sport, has its moments that define the game. It can be a team making a great run, it can be a player with a clutch moment or even something else entirely.
Whatever the case, the highlights made by these moments stand the test of time. When you think of baseball, these are the situations that you think about.
Here are 50 of the most unforgettable highlights in baseball history. Situations that fall on the depressing end of the spectrum are not included, since one can't really consider them "highlights."

With all the fuss about piracy and the RIAA, legal music download websites help to put your guilt to rest by enjoying free and legal MP3 music downloads without the hassle of government agents breaking down your door. Here's the problem though. Most free and legal MP3 music downloads a) aren't easy to find; and b) feature music which aren't that great.
But not this list — this is the big list of legal music download websites that rock!
When writing an article about legal music download websites, we've got to list Last.fm. Everyday, Last.fm features a new free legal MP3 music download with no strings attached. Preview the songs using their integrated player and if you like the track, download it. There are currently over 250 free MP3s available for download, spanning over 20 genres.
Bandcamp shouldn't require an introduction here. We feature it almost everyday in our Music Mania segment. It's hands down, one of the best legal music download websites at this point in time. They have a vast library of artists with new albums popping up almost everyday. You're free to listen to any song you want and if the album is free, you can download it in MP3, ALAC, FLAC, MP3 VBR and OGG. I reiterate, it's one of the best music download websites you can find right now. Bookmark it.
Epitonic is one of those legal music download websites where they emphasis more on the songs than on design. As a result, the songs are displayed in text across three categories: featured, new and editor's choice. Click on any song and it starts playing in their integrated player. You can also download any song (or all of them) right on the front page.
Highly regarded as one of the best legal music download websites, Jamendo is pretty similar to Bandcamp. You'll find thousands of completely free and legal MP3 music downloads to browse through. You're also able to preview any song via its integrated player. No login is required.
Noisetrade is one of those legal music download website where you get free and legal music downloads in exchange for some information like your email and postal code. It also allows you the option to help the artist by spreading the word on Facebook and Twitter. It's a fair trade. As a legal music download website, I couldn't really ask it for more.
purevolume is another awesome legal music download websites that features both paid and free legal MP3 music downloads. You can browse the site fairly quickly to search for the best free songs because purevolume conveniently compiles them into Top Songs, Top Downloads, Albums, Features, and Past Features. Again, every song is available for preview via their integrated player. There isn't an option to download entire albums so you do have to manually download each song individually. But hey, they are quality songs from a great legal music download website, so you've got zero guilt weighing you down.
ReverbNation is not only a legal music download website, it's also a valuable resource for fans and their favourite bands. Just like Last.fm, ReverbNation publishes band tour dates and even allows you to buy concert tickets directly.
Added 12/5: Daytrotter
Daytrotter features one band a day, everyday. Every song is recorded in the Daytrotter recording studio at The Horseshack in downtown Rock Island, Ill. The artist featured are probably unheard of but that's the beauty of Daytrotter — they don't want to feature mainstream artists but rather to allow you to discover new stars. Albums are categorised by sessions and you're able to preview any track with their built-in player. All albums are available in 128 kbps MP3 for free as a one-click download.
Added 12/5: RCRD LBL
RCRD LBL mostly features mostly singles. In fact, they have over 25,000 free singles on their website, free for your listening pleasure via their integrated player. Tracks must be downloaded individually and an account is required (sign up is free).
As the web is ever-expanding, there will be more music download websites cropping up. So bearing in mind that this isn't a finite list, I would like to ask for your suggestions and recommendations in the comments.

ST. LOUIS - Phillies third baseman Cody Asche was happy to come home, but was even more thrilled to return to the big leagues.
Asche provided the Phillies' offense with a three-run double in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. He had been on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain from May 23 until he was activated on Friday.
He played the first series of his return in Busch Stadium, about a half-hour ride from where he grew up in St. Charles, Mo.
"It's a good feeling playing well coming off an injury," Asche said.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of EPL Oil & Gas (UNKNOWN: EPL.DL ) fell 10% in trading today after the company released third-quarter earnings.
So what: Non-GAAP net income was up 149% over the past year, to $31.4 million, or $0.81 per share, but fell short of Wall Street's $0.88 estimate. Production was up 113% from a year ago, to 23,097 Bbls of oil equivalent per day; but this still wasn't enough to satisfy investors.
Now what: When a company is growing this quickly, it can be hard for analysts and investors to guess exactly what earnings will be quarter to quarter. That's why I'm not too worried about the miss, considering the fact that earnings are way up from a year ago. I think this is a buying opportunity because shares trade at just 7.7 times next year's estimates, a great entry point for investors.
Profit from high oil prices
Oil prices have jumped to nearly $100 per barrel again, providing an opportunity for investors ready to take advantage of the opportunity. To help investors get rich off of rising oil prices, our top analysts prepared a free report that reveals three stocks that are bound to soar as oil prices climb higher.

It was a long day today with meetings beginning at 7am and ending at 6pm. There were a couple of 1-2 hr breaks in the middle that provided me time to check out posters. And then tonight I attended a Journalist Workshop where MM experts Drs. Durie, Moreau, Richardson and Orlowski presented ASH highlights to the US and International Press that was translated real-time into 4 other languages and also streamed on-line. So let me provide some of today's results working my way backwards.
At the press meeting, the doctors were asked about the most significant announcements at ASH. The various drugs getting the most attention (and well-deserved) were Carfilzomib and Pomalidomide. Maybe you've heard of these and the hope is they'll receive FDA approval in 2012. However, you may not have heard of Elotuzumab (humanized monoclonal antibody) or MLN9708 (oral proteasome inhibitor) which also received positive marks.
Dr. Durie also noted that the treatment paradigm has changed since 10 years ago when novel drugs such as Thalidomide and Velcade started appearing. In the past a patient would receive a limited cycle of drugs, get a transplant or not, and see how they do. Today continuous therapy (at least fairly long-term) is becoming the model. A patient receives induction therapy, a transplant or not, possibly consolidation treatment followed by maintenance. And while it's not known how long maintenance should last, trials are being done for 1-yr, 2-yrs, 3-yrs or even "time to progression" (till your MM becomes active again).
Some exciting trial results presented today include:
- The oral proteasome inhibitor MLN9708 in Relapsed/Refractory MM pts in a Phase I trial showed about a 13% ORR (<= Partial Response) and 60% stable disease as a single agent.
- Elotuzumab, which doesn't really have much MM activity on its own, is combined with Rev-dex in a Phase II trial of R/R MM pts and shows a 92% ORR (14% CR) whereas Rev-dex alone showed about 60% ORR for the same type of patients.
- In the completion of a Phase III trial, Melphalan+Prednisone+Rev followed by Rev maintenance for newly diagnosed older (non SCT eligible) pts showed ORR of 79% and after 4 years, the median Overall Survival (OS) has not yet been reached. Remember, this is an older patient base.
- BTW, in the same elderly population, Vel-Thal maintenance after VMP or VTP showed 46% CR and median OS not yet reached at 5 years.
- Several Carfilzomib (Cfz) studies were presented:
- CfzRd for newly diagnosed showed ORR = 100% after several cycles;
- Cfz-only for R/R MM pts (not having taken Velcade) showed ORR 42-52%
- Several Pomalidomide (Pom) results were also presented:
- Pom-Cytoxin-Prednisone for R/R MM pts showed ORR 66%;
- Pom-Biaxin-Dex for R/R MM pts showed ORR 60%;
- Pom-Dex for R/R MM pts (75% refractory to both Vel and Rev) showed 32% ORR with little difference among various refractory groups
And still there was more with drug such as Perifosine, Panobinostat, Vorinostat as well as other combinations.
That's it for Monday's sessions highlights from my perspective. The show ends tomorrow and I'll try to put up one final post after I return home.Jack Aiello

Great system!
By April714
from California
I bought Morgenstern's book first, then bought her system for myself. I love it and feel so much more in control of my time than ever before. I also bought a system for my sister who'd read the book, too. Julie Morgenstern has thought of everything in designing this tool.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dayton 64
Postgame Quotes
GW Coach Karl Hobbs
"It's a good win for our program [because] we've come a long way. To have that kind of student support and have the student really rallying around these guys. When [Dayton] made a run, the students wouldn't let us lose tonight. I could hear them in the background yelling at the players...yelling at me. It was just a thrilling victory for us."
[is this a defining win for the program?]
[on the team's maturity when Dayton was up 57-50]
GW junior G TJ Thompson
"In that situation, most teams don't want to foul. The smartest thing to do is attack them because they're going to try and get out of the way. So I decided to go full speed and there was a little opening. I'm small, and because there were some big guys there, I had to duck under and go behind them, and I got the layup."
[on being mobbed by students]
GW sophomore F Mike Hall
"I won't say this is the biggest game we'll play, because hopefully we have some bigger games ahead. But it's like you said, a turning point in our season. We came together, we persevered, we didn't give up when they made their runs, we executed and paid attention to detail. I hope we can continue to play that way."
Dayton Coach Brian Gregory
[Was the game lost in the first half?]
"They won the game on the possession before [the last play], on the offensive tip. If we get a stop, score tied. We've got to come up with that rebound. [If] you do, you probably win the game."
"You can't play like this on the road and expect to win against good teams. George Washington is a very good team, an athletically talented team that at times plays on their emotion, and they're good at it. Where we tend to lean on our experience, they lean on their emotion because they're younger, and that carried them through. They didn't let up when we were up 7 points."

About Us
David R. Bubsey, Director
East Tennessee State University Trombone Choir
"In my opinion, the trombone is the true head of the family of wind instruments, which I have named the 'epic' one. It possesses nobility and grandeur to the highest degree; it has all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious, calm and imposing accents to savage, orgiastic outburst. Directed by the will of the master, the trombones can chant like a choir of priests, threaten, utter gloomy sighs, a mournful lament, or a bright hymn of glory; they can break forth into awe-inspiring cries and awaken the dead or doom the living with their fearful voices."--Hector Berlioz

Administrator setup for GAMMO
This page is for administrators who plan to deploy Google Apps Migration for Microsoft® Outlook (GAMMO) to their users. To install GAMMO yourself and begin using it, you should instead see the Google Apps Migration user help.Overview
GAMMO lets individual users migrate their own calendar, contact, and email data from Microsoft Exchange or from local PST files to a Google Apps account. Administrators can use the command-line version of the utility to migrate data on behalf of a single user.
Note: Only personal contacts are migrated for each user. In order for your Global Address List, including shared contacts, to be available to users, an administrator has to migrate that data first with a utility like Google Apps Directory Sync.
Each user's machine that runs the migration utility needs to have the following minimum configuration:
- Microsoft Windows®:
Windows XP (32 bit) SP3
Windows Vista (32 bit) SP1
Windows Vista (64 bit) SP1
Windows 7 and 8 (32 and 64 bit)
Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit)
Regardless of which version of Windows you are using, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest patches for that version.
Before your users can migrate data, you have to provision accounts for them in Google Apps. See create a new user for details. Each user, including any Google Apps administrators, must also sign in to their Google Apps account at least once, to accept the Google Terms of Service.
In addition to provisioning user accounts in Google Apps, you can also:
- Create nicknames for your users that match aliases they had on your Exchange Server
- Create groups that match the mailing lists on your Exchange Server
- Add domain aliases
Before your users migrate their data, you should migrate your shared contacts to Google Apps so that your users have immediate access to your full address list.
For information about migrating contacts, see:
After you have configured Google Apps, verified the Windows system requirements on each client machine, provisioned your users in Google Apps, and migrated your shared contacts, your next step is to install Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook on each user's computer.
You have two options for installation:
- Push an .msi to your users, and let them use the Run Advertised Programs option in the Windows Control Panel. Download the .msi file below (be sure to pick the correct version for your users' version of Outlook). For information on implementing the .msi file, consult your Windows documentation.
Download the GoogleAppsClientMigration.msi:
- Let your users get the utility from the GAMMO download page, and complete the installation themselves.
To run the installer:
Double-click OutlookMigrationSetup.exe, then click Run.
The utility is installed in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google Apps Migration\ClientMigration.exe.
Run only one instance of the utility on a computer, and run only one instance of the utility for each user.
For detailed information about using the utility to perform migrations, see the GAMMO Help Center.
