New Erie SeaWolves manager Parrish ready to work with players
Lance Parrish jumped at the chance to get back into baseball as the new manager of the Erie SeaWolves.
Not only is Parrish, 57, excited about managing a baseball team no matter what level, he's ready to start working with young, talented players as well.
"It was interesting that when I first started coaching in the Los Angeles Dodgers' organization back in 1987, 1988, I went right to Double-A San Antonio," Parrish said. "It's nice knowing there's been a boatload of guys going right from AA to the big leagues. These guys need to recognize they are one phone call away and it happens more often than not. There is some exceptional talent down in Double-A."
Parrish dealt with talented players in low-A during his last stint as a manager.
He managed the Single-A Great Lakes Loons, a Dodgers affiliate, in the Midwest League in 2007, that had a roster that included Clayton Kershaw, Carlos Santana and Josh Bell.
"Clayton is the big guy in the bunch and Josh went on to play in the major leagues as well," Parrish said. "Obviously, Carlos is with the Indians and all three were great to deal with. We also had Scott Van Slyke (son of Andy Van Slyke) and Trayvon Robinson, who made it to the big leagues with Seattle."
Kershaw went 7-5 with a 2.77 ERA in 20 starts with the Loons that season. He was named the Midwest League Prospect of the Year and joined the Dodgers in 2008.
"It was great working with Clayton, but it was a lot of fun working with Carlos as well," said Parrish, a catcher in his playing days with the Detroit Tigers. "2007 was actually the year Carlos converted to becoming a catcher. He is such a great, natural hitter from both sides of the plate. He hit the ball extremely well and volunteered to catch. I thought it was kind of odd but a great opportunity for me to work with him from the ground floor of his development.
"Every organization has a roving catching instructor so when the rover showed up, I just watched Carlos to make sure he did things the right way during games. I could tell from the onset that he was a special guy and no doubt in my mind that he would make the big leagues."
Santana hit .223 with seven home runs and 36 RBIs in 86 games with Great Lakes in 2007. Santana, who was a non-drafted free-agent signee by the Dodgers in 2004, was traded to the Indians in 2008 for Casey Blake. He made his Cleveland debut in 2010.
Bell has played 100 games for the Baltimore Orioles, while Robinson should be a familiar name to SeaWolves fans, as he played for the Bowie Baysox in 2013.
Parrish stated that he had a great relationship with the fans in Detroit and Michigan as a whole and is excited to interact with the fans in Erie. He just wanted to clear one thing up.
"Everyone naturally assumes I am related to Larry Parrish, who manages Toledo," Parrish said. "Back in the day, he played for Montreal and I played for Detroit and we'd get each other's fan mail and never met. Years after we were both done playing, we met up at an all-star game and it was funny that I finally met my 'brother'.
"I would get requests from fans to have 'my brother' sign things for them and even the PA guy would sometimes announce Larry Parrish when I stepped to the plate. For years it wouldn't sit well with me when I was a player."
Lance Parrish thought that the misconception had gone away after his playing days were done until he ran into Atlanta Braves great Chipper Jones recently at an archery show.
"I saw Chipper Jones across the way at the archery show and decided to go introduce myself," Parrish said. "First thing he asked was how my brother Larry was doing. I don't think it'll ever go away now that we are both managing in the same organization."

Awards / Publications:1st Place, dPreview "Animal Homes In Nature" challenge, May 2015
So, there I was, minding my own business searching for birds in Ritch Grissom Wetlands in Viera Fl, when I spotted a bit of fur inside a hole in an old palm tree. As I slowed down, my intense gaze was met by an equally intense gaze from a raccoon that had decided to make his home there. ("Rocky" was the nickname one of the locals gave him)
(Note – I've made this image available as desktop wallpaper, but I had to crop it to horizontal – it's still cute)
So, it didn't take long for me to step out and get the tripod setup. I quickly focused in his direction and waited.
In time, I'd get a little glimpse of a head, ear, or even an eye – but he would never quite emerge far enough for the full-on shot I had in mind. We played this game for at least 45 minutes, and I was starting to get worried about the light – it was diminishing before my eyes and I was concerned the shot I had in mind might not materialize.
I was about to give up when I remembered a trick that hunters use to get a critters attention – so I started making an obnoxious squeaking sound by sucking air through my lips.
He popped right up in an attempt to figure out where that noise was coming from, no doubt with thoughts of snagging the leftovers of whatever creature was getting dispatched at the moment. He seemed a bit annoyed once he decided the sound wasn't from some wounded animal, but rather from the annoying photographer who had been hanging out with him all evening.
In any case, I had my shot, thanked him, and drove back to my hotel with a big 'ole smile.
About Our Prints....
I currently sell individual prints only. Each image is custom printed in house by me on our commercial grade inkjet printer. Each print is individually inspected and carefully packaged for shipment.
Please note that if you'd like another type of print (canvas for example) or another frame style, we can certainly accommodate you, just use the contact us page and we'll customize the artwork to make it perfect for your home.
(Note - we are no longer offering framed prints. The potential for damage in transit was very high and the shipping for large framed prints was outrageous, sometimes costing over $100 for larger pieces. Additionally, we've found our clients seem happier when they can work with their own local framing shop.)
Our framed prints are guaranteed for as long as you own them against wear, fading, or deterioration. Loose prints are also guaranteed for as long as you own them provided you have them framed under glass using archival materials. We want you to LOVE your prints, so we offer a refund as long as the print or framed print is returned in like new condition within 30 days.
All prints have a signature in the corner, usually the lower right hand when possible.
Delivery time varies and depends on a number of factors, but we always strive to get your prints delivered to you as quickly as possible. I personally inspect each and every piece before it leaves our building. If I'm out of town taking more photos, it can cause a delay, but a good rule of thumb is that a loose print will ship within 2 weeks and a framed print within 3 weeks. That time is significantly shorter if I'm in town at the time the order is placed. If you need a print done by a certain date, you can contact me and I'll be happy to give you an estimated delivery date.
We are now offering quantity discounts if you are interested in two or more pieces. Simply contact me with the sizes and names of the images you are interested in and I will be happy to get you a quote. The more pieces you order, the better the discount.
Thanks for your interest!

Just adorable !! I love it
So darn cute. And perfectly framed!
I have always tried to get neat photo shots of wild animals but never seem to get any.
Nice image – The squeaking finger trick works with Red Foxes.
I have that same shot from Viera Wetlands but I could never get Rocky to give me a full head shot. Leading a group down there next week and if he is still around I will certainly empress my group when I start sounding like a wounded animal and he comes out for a look.

Rated 4 out of 5 by plate smasher as expected I like the set of these but you do have to be careful as if you chip a plate which is so easy to do, in and out of the dishwasher all day long it seems you are hard pushed to get another plate the same. What I mean by that is they must use different moulds for these plates back at the factory as they don't fit as neatly in a stack at home as they do in the shop. But if you don't chip or smash them they are a fantastic everyday plate. 09 November 2011

The 2016 annual meeting of the AAVP will run from August 5th through the 9th at the Westin Riverwalk Hotel in San Antonio, TX. Plan now for an educational and collegial event at an exciting and affordable venue.

Program Committee
Tim Geary, 2016 Program Chair
The American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP) will hold its 61st Annual Meeting at the Westin Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas, August 6-9, 2016. The AAVP annual meeting continues to be the most important gathering of researchers, students and clinicians for the dissemination of the new information and insightful perspectives on the biology and control of parasites of veterinary importance. The Program Committee is confident that the annual meeting will deliver an exciting and memorable conference, bringing together a diverse and exceptionally collegial group of scientists from academia, industry, government, veterinarians from private practice, and students in graduate and veterinary programs. The 2016 meeting builds upon the remarkably successful history of AAVP conferences and is guaranteed to foster meaningful interactions with colleagues who often don't attend the same meetings. With ever-growing concerns of anthelmintic and insecticide resistance, the re-emergence and spread of new vectors and vector-borne diseases, the changing regulatory environment, and the launch of new products for parasite control, our members and guests can count on getting terrific value for money and enjoying the opportunity to learn while making new friends and meeting old ones again.
The 2016 Program Chair, Tim Geary, and the Program Committee, Ray Kaplan, Doug Carithers, Dan Zarlenga, Al Marchiondo, Meriam Saleh and Jessica Jacobs, are preparing an outstanding scientific program. The theme of this year's meeting is "New Vistas in Veterinary Parasitology". Plenary sessions on Saturday and Tuesday will highlight some of the best and exciting new science that is leading the way toward a deeper understanding of parasite biology and improvements in the control of parasitic and vector-borne disease. We have lined up five excellent speakers for these sessions that will speak on a broad variety of interesting topics.
Following the opening plenary session Saturday, the program will include presentations by the recipients of the AAVP-Merial Distinguished Veterinary Parasitologist Award and the AAVP-Merck Outstanding Graduate Student Award. Beginning on Sunday morning and continuing through Monday, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in concurrent scientific sessions, in which papers on a wide variety of interesting topics related to important issues in veterinary parasitology will be presented. On Tuesday morning, we will have the second plenary session, followed by a session sponsored by the National Center for Veterinary Parasitology (NCVP).
As has been the long practice of the AAVP, the 61st Annual Meeting will include student presentations and a student competition. Following the process established at the 2015 annual meeting in Boston, we will again integrate all student papers into the topical session that is most appropriate for their talk. While this presents some logistical challenges for the competition, it reinforces our deep belief that our student members are doing work that should be presented along that of other members. Given the time constraints of our meeting format, we may once again include a poster session if the number of submitted and high-quality abstracts exceeds the number of slots available in the concurrent sessions; more information will be provided once these numbers are available. When submitting abstracts (see below for details), individuals will be able to choose whether they prefer an oral or poster presentation. We should be able to accommodate the preferences of most, but if more oral papers are submitted than can be accommodated in the program, some who request oral papers may be assigned to a poster. This will not affect the student paper competition, as we plan to have awards for both oral and poster presentations.
As in recent years, students will benefit from a series of excellent social and professional opportunities designed specifically for their benefit. All students are encouraged to arrive early and attend a special student lunch "meet and greet" on Saturday prior to the opening session, which will provide fun activities to help students get to know each other before the meeting starts, so those student relationships can be strengthened throughout the remainder of the conference. This will be followed by a student lunch on Sunday, at which AAVP colleagues from many different career paths in parasitology will meet with students in a "speed-interaction" format to share their insights and advice. On Monday, a third student lunch meeting will include elections for the new student representative to the Executive Board.
Once again, time will be set aside on Sunday morning for meetings of AAVP committees. The purpose of these meetings is to provide a dedicated time slot for our committees to review the past year's accomplishments, develop new proposals for the coming year, and prepare for committee reports to the AAVP membership at the business meeting on Monday. You do not need to be a 2016 committee member to attend; showing up will allow you to become a new member of a committee that is of particular interest to you. As you know, committee work is essential to the functioning of our society and we encourage everyone to contribute by serving on a committee. We especially encourage students to join committees. As a bonus, breakfast will be provided to all who attend. As a reminder, the committee chairs are: Archives, Tom Nolan; Awards, Tom McTier, Constitution and Bylaws, Tom Kennedy; Education, Tom Nolan; Finance, Andy Moorhead; Historian, Alan Marchiondo; Newsletter, Frank Hurtig; Program, Tim Geary; Publications-Internet, Tariq Qureshi; Outreach/Research, Andy DeRosa; Nominations, Ann Donoghue.
The Westin Riverwalk Hotel has great venues for evening socials. As has been the highly valued practice at AAVP annual meetings, socials will be sponsored by Bayer on Saturday night, Merial on Sunday night, and Elanco on Monday night. We will also host other sponsored events; details will be shared soon.
Updates to the program, as it continues to develop, can be found at this web site. Please note that the final program for the conference will be posted on the AAVP web site, and not in the June Newsletter, by 2-3 weeks prior to the meeting date.
The Program Committee now invites abstracts for oral and poster presentations with a submission start date of March 14 and a deadline of May 13, 2016. The AAVP annual meeting is a great way to share the latest data and views on the biology and control of parasites of veterinary importance. It is also an excellent networking opportunity. We warmly welcome you to come and present your work, or simply to join us in San Antonio this summer.
Timothy G. Geary

Scientific Program
The 2016 program will follow the basic format for recent AAVP meetings, which has proven to be very successful. We will incorporate a poster session only if needed to accommodate a number of submissions that cannot be placed in the confines of our concurrent session format. As in Boston last year, we will integrate all student presentations into the topical session that is most appropriate for that paper. We believe that this format advances the visibility of student research to others in the same sub-specialty, and will facilitate interaction and discussion with more senior scientists.
As usual, the meeting will start on Saturday afternoon with the President's opening remarks, followed by the opening Plenary session, which this year promotes the theme of the conference: "New Vistas in Veterinary Parasitology". Dr. Collette Britton, University of Glasgow, will give a talk on new insights into parasite biology based on small, non-coding RNAs. This talk will be followed by a presentation by Dr. Angela Mousley, Queen's University of Belfast, on new advances in RNA interference in parasites of veterinary importance. This session will conclude with a presentation on new techniques for the large-scale modification of insects.
Following the plenary session, there will be an Awards Program, during which presentations will be made by this year's recipient of the AAVP-Merial Distinguished Veterinary Parasitologist Award and the winner of the 2016 AAVP-Merck Outstanding Graduate Student Award. Following the conclusion of the day's events, Bayer will sponsor a welcome reception.
Sunday morning begins with meetings of the AAVP committees; breakfast will be provided (but only for those attending the committee meetings – so plan to attend!!!). Concurrent scientific sessions will then begin and will continue for the rest of the day. To conclude the day's events, Merial will sponsor an evening social.
Monday morning we will continue with concurrent scientific sessions, which will be followed by the AAVP Business Meeting and the Awards Ceremony. Thereafter, scientific presentations will continue for the rest of the day and will include the ever-popular session on Novel Cases. This will be followed by a meeting of the ACVM Parasitology Diplomates, and will conclude with an evening social sponsored by Elanco.
Tuesday morning starts with the President's Symposium, which will highlight two exciting developments in diagnostic approaches to veterinary parasites. Dr. Dave Elsemore, IDEXX, will describe a new approach to the diagnosis of canine gastrointestinal nematode parasites the, followed by Dr. Cassan Pulaski, Louisiana State University, who will present a talk on new developments in the molecular diagnosis of heartworms resistant to macrocyclic lactones. The remainder of the morning will conclude with a final set of scientific presentations and a concurrent session devoted to AAVP-NCVP Parasite Case Discussions.
Here is a preliminary and tentative schedule of events:
Saturday, August 6
- 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM: AAVP Executive Board/Committee Chairs Meeting

Oral Presentation Guidelines
All oral presentations will be given a 15-minute time slot. Plan to deliver your presentation in 12-13 minutes to allow time for questions. Please remember to summarize and repeat questions before responding so that the audience can clearly hear and understand.
Poster Presentation Guidelines
Posters should be prepared in portrait orientation with maximum dimensions of 33 inches (84 cm) wide and 44 inches (112 cm) high. Each poster presenter will be provided with half of a 4-foot-high by 6-foot-wide poster board. Materials for attaching posters to the boards will be provided. To locate your assigned poster board on the day of your presentation, look for the board marked with the poster number that will be assigned to you when your abstract is accepted. Each poster will be assigned a day for presentation, and it is expected that an author of the poster will stand next to the poster to answer questions during the evening poster session assigned to that poster.
Audiovisual Support
Electronic presentations on commonly-used portable media (memory stick/USB Jump Drive, CD) must be used. AAVP will provide equipment in each meeting room for projected computer presentations; there is no need to bring a personal laptop. Files must be placed in the appropriate computer desktop folder prior to the start of your session. Sessions include several successive papers, so please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the entire session begins and not just before your presentation.
PowerPoint is the only software supported for electronic presentations. Other programs or the use of personal computers are at the discretion of the Program Chair. Slides (2 X 2) and overhead projectors are NOT available.
Abstract Submission
Abstracts should be submitted via the AAVP web site. The abstract-submission process has been simplified for the 2016 meeting – please follow the guidelines.
When submitting your abstract, you will need to select whether you prefer an oral presentation, a poster presentation or if you have no preference. We should be able to accommodate the preferences of most, but if more oral papers are submitted than can be accommodated in the program, some who request oral papers may be assigned to a poster. As in previous years, the word limit for abstract text (excluding title, author names and affiliations) is 300. Abstracts may not contain tables. The submission portal allows you to submit your abstract and make changes until 11:00 PM on May 13, so there is no need to wait until the last second to upload your abstract! Abstracts should be prepared in Word and then pasted into the text box indicated for abstracts. After pasting your abstract text check for formatting as italics and symbols may not transfer correctly. You can then add formatting as needed in the pasted text. Word files cannot be uploaded. The title, authors, and affiliations will be entered into separate text fields on the abstract submission website.
Please do not work on two abstract submissions at the same time. You must have only one submission window open on your computer at a time (or bad things may happen)!!!
If you have any questions or problems with your abstract submission, please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair, Tim Geary at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-514-398-7612. Likewise, within the abstract submission web site, contact "Support" (top right of screen) for assistance.
Please remember, final acceptance of your abstract is contingent upon confirmation of receipt of the registration fee.
To start a new submission or modify a previous submission, click the link below. This will take you to the log-in page. To start a new submission, once you log in you need to click on the "call for abstracts" link. This will take you to the conference-landing page (contains all of the information that is included here). Then scroll to the bottom of the document and click on the "Create New" button. If updating or modifying a previous submission then that prior submission will be available to you immediately on the abstract submission page one you are logged in.
If you wish to apply for an AAVP Young Investigator Travel Grant, the required form is posted on this web site (link below) and is also available when you enter your abstract information. If you wish to participate in the student paper competition, you must also identify that the presenting author is a student. Final submission of your abstract will require that you have uploaded the required forms on the abstract submission web site. If you have any questions, please contact Meriam Saleh (email@example.com), or Jesica Jacobs (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Abstract submission web site opens: March 14, 2016
Abstract submission web site closes: May 13, 2016
Awards and Travel Grants
AAVP Awards
Information on the AAVP achievement awards can be found on the AAVP website and in the February 2016 AAVP Newsletter. Awards include the AAVP-Merial Distinguished Veterinary Parasitologist Award, the AAVP Distinguished Service Award, the AAVP-Merck Outstanding Graduate Student Award, and the AAVP-CAPC Graduate Student Award in Zoonotic Disease.
AAVP-Bayer Best Student Oral Paper Presentation Awards and AAVP Best Student Poster Awards
The awards are given to two undergraduate/graduate/veterinary students who compete successfully in each of the oral and poster Student Presentation competitions. Students should indicate at the time of abstract submission if they wish to participate in the Best Student Presentation competition, choosing either oral or poster competition. Judges at the meeting will use the checklists (links to forms provided below) to help rate the presentations. The oral paper awards sponsored by Bayer Animal Health will be $500 and $300 for first and second place, respectively. Awards for the poster competition are still in the planning stage and these details will be provided on the conference web site as they become available.
AAVP Young Investigator Travel Grants (YITG)
The travel grants are competitive grants awarded to full-time DVM or undergraduate / graduate students enrolled in an accredited institution of higher learning and pursuing studies in veterinary parasitology. Deserving individuals in postdoctoral positions who are within 3 years of graduation are also eligible for this award. A student must be an AAVP member in good standing (i.e., have paid 2016 dues by May 13, 2016) to be eligible for this award. Application for a Travel Grant and commitment of additional or matching funds from a sponsoring AAVP member (see below for form), and submission of an acceptable abstract, are needed for this award. Students applying for the travel grant are also eligible to compete for the Student Presentation Awards. However, the student who receives the AAVP-Merck Outstanding Graduate Student Award will receive reimbursement of travel expenses and therefore will not receive a Young Investigator Travel Grant.

Student Representatives
Dr. William (Bill) Campbell is one of three scientists sharing this year's Nobel Prize for medicine. Dr. Campbell (PhD Wisconsin) is sharing half of the award with Japan's Satoshi Omura, for the discovery of avermectin which affects nematodes, and China's Youyou Tu received the other half of the award for her discovery of artemisinin, which is highly effective against the malaria parasite.
Dr. Campbell was born in Ireland, graduated from Trinity College (Dublin), before moving to the United States where he completed his PhD at the University of Wisconsin. He then went to work with the Merck Institute for Therapeutic Research, where he began his collaboration with Dr. Omura.
Omura was studying a group of soil bacteria called Streptomycetes, and he selected about 50 isolates that showed promise. From this group of isolates, Dr. Campbell discovered that a specific bacterium, Streptomyces avermitilis, produced avermectin, a potent anthelmintic. The avermectin was refined into ivermectin, and this drug revolutionized parasitic control in animals and in control of human filarial parasites.
In addition to being a long-time American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists member, Dr. Campbell, was also recognized with the AAVP-Merial Distinguished Veterinary Parasitologist Award in 1990, and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2002. Currently, Dr. Campbell is a research fellow emeritus at Drew University.
Event: American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists meeting, July 11-14, Boston, MA.
Awards: AAVP-Merial Distinguished Veterinary Parasitologist Award: Dr. Michael W. Dryden, Manhattan, Kansas, for outstanding contributions to the advancement of veterinary parasitology. Dr. Dryden received his veterinary degree from Kansas State University in 1984 and his doctorate in veterinary parasitology from Purdue University in 1990. He is a professor of veterinary parasitology in the Department of Diagnostic Medicine and Pathobiology at the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Dryden's research focuses on flea and tick biology and control, investigating urban wildlife as vectors of parasitic diseases, and diagnosis and control of gastrointestinal parasites. He is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Microbiology. AAVP-Merck Outstanding Graduate Student Award: Anne Barrett, Oklahoma State University, for her work on novel spotted fever group Rickettsia species in ticks, dogs, and people. AAVP-Companion Animal Parasite Council Graduate Student Award in Zoonotic Disease: Alice Lee, Cornell University, for her work on larval trapping in mice infected with Toxocara canis and the results of concomitant pre-existing infections with Toxoplasma gondii. Best student oral presentation, sponsored by Bayer Animal Health: First place ($500) Chanel Schwartzeentruber, University of Guelph. Second place ($300) Meliissa Miller, University of Georgia. Honorable mention Jeessica Scare, University of Kentucky; Emily McDermott, University of California-Riverside; Amy Murillo, University of California-Riverside; and Alice Houk, Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. Best student poster competition, sponsored by Elanco: First place ($500) Elizabeth Shepherd, West Virginia University. Second place ($300) Dr. Yoko Nagamori, Oklahoma State Universsity. Honorable mention Mary Maclean, University of Georrgia; Carly Barone, University of Rhode Island; Lindsay Porter, Texas A&M University; and Victoria Demello, University of Georgia. Young investigator travel grants were awarded to 36 students to enable them to attend the meeting and present their abstracts as part of the scientific program.
Officials: Dr. Ray M. Kaplan, Athens, Georgia, president; Timothy G. Geary, PhD, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec, president-elect and program chair; Dante S. Zarlenga, PhD, Beltsville, Maryland, vice president; Dr. Doug Carithers, Duluth, Georgia, secretary-treasurer; Dr. Andrew S. Peregrine, Guelph, Ontario, immediate past president; Alan Marchiondo, PhD, Santa Fe, New Mexico, program administrator; and graduate student representatives Meriam Saleh, Blacksburg, Virginia, and JJavier Garza, Morgantown, West Virginia.

FDA/CVM recently launched a Web page on antiparasitic resistance and Antiparasitic Resistance Management Strategy, or ARMS. The page (click here) includes a link to an overview of the public meeting that the FDA held in March 2012 on antiparasitic resistance as well as a link to the new online brochure for veterinarians on antiparasitic resistance in cattle and small ruminants.
Hardcopies of the brochure will be available at the AVMA and AAVP conventions in July.

EMBL to advance drug discovery research with Tropos' software
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) signed an agreement to license Tripos' Themis and Surflex-Dock software to advance its drug discovery efforts within chemical biology.The software will be used to enable small molecule development among research groups in the Chemical Biology Core Facility, a three-way collaboration between the EMBL, the German Cancer Research Center, and the University of Heidelberg.The EMBL says that in studies to assess Surflex-Dock, the software yielded promising compound candidates for testing in about two days. It docked five million structures of the research institute's virtual database of commercially available compounds into a binding site of a project's receptor structure.Additionally, in the first experiments with Themis, the software provided new chemical ideas that would contribute to drug discovery projects, adds Joe Lewis, Ph.D, head of the facility.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — An area teen was arrested by the Boca Raton Police Department after allegedly admitting to pushing a child who lives with Down Syndrome down a staircase. The child, who is constantly clutching a spoon, has reportedly been the victim of constant bullying in the 1200 block of NW 13th Street – other attacks have included his pants being pulled down, taunting, and kids trying to pry the spoon from his hands.
The family just moved into the area.
The affidavit of probable cause — the arrest report — is a compelling read and highlights the horror that special needs children who are bullied deal with. We encourage you to read the report, in its entirety, right here.
The suspect was referred to a first time offender program.

My inlaws have a hot tub and I'm thinking about getting in... But I'm Oing today and just had sex 15 minutes ago! Ive been lying down since. Are all the spermies safe in my cervix right now or will hot tubbing wash them out? (I'm not worried about heat -- they keep it really low, around 100.)
I'm guessing the water can only get into my vagina if anything and not any higher, right?

DETROIT, MI- General Motors Co. today announced a new recall for the 2.6 million small cars that are already part of its ongoing ignition switch recall.
Due to the new recall, which is to replace ignition lock cylinders, the Detroit-based automaker also upped its expected first-quarter losses due to the recalls from $750 million to $1.3 billion.
The new recall is to replace ignition lock cylinders on all of the cars, including 2.2 million in the U.S., to ensure drivers can't remove the keys while the vehicle is running. The cylinders can currently allow removal of the ignition key while the engine is running, leading to a possible rollaway, crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
GM says it is aware of several hundred complaints of keys coming out of ignitions. Searches of GM and government databases found one rollaway in a parking lot that resulted in a crash and one injury claim. The same searches turned up no fatalities.
GM will replace the ignition lock cylinders and cut and, if necessary, reprogram new keys.
The new recall, as the ignition switch one did, affects the 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt , 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5 , 2007-2010 Saturn Sky and 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR.
On a preliminary basis, despite the $1.3 billion recall charge, GM says it currently expects to report "solid core operating performance in the first quarter financial results."
The new recall comes the same day that GM confirmed two engineers were placed on paid leave in connection to the delayed ignition switch recall. GM CEO Mary Barra said the employees were placed on paid leave following a briefing from Anton Valukas, the former U.S. attorney overseeing an independent investigation into circumstances leading to the safety recalls that have been linked to at least 13 deaths.
GM declined to name the suspended employees when contacted by MLive earlier today. Bloomberg reports the engineers put on paid leave were Ray DeGiorgio and Gary Altman for their roles in events leading to the ignition switch recall.
A GM spokesman said GM is currently working with dealers to replace the ignition switches in the affected vehicles.

Manny Pacquiao the reason Ricky Hatton started with Cocaine
By Johnny Benz (Sept 21, 2010)
When asked by John Stapleton if he could remember the first time he snorted cocaine, and under what the circumstances were? Hatton stated he could not recall, but did recollect that it happened sometime after his second round knockout loss to Manny Pacquiao.
Hatton told the program: "I cant remember when, where, who from - I cant remember. But I do remember it will have been after the Pacquiao fight at some point."
When pressed if he ever took cocaine during his boxing career, Hatton stated: "No. Never, never."
One could not be faulted for wondering if Manny Pacquiao is the reason Hatton started with Cocaine? After losing to Pacquiao, Hatton admits he fell into a depression and even began having a rocky relationship with his parents. It was many factors that pushed him into messing around with what he considers was "dabbling in other silly things".
One thing is for certain, Hatton is a fighter... and if anyone can beat a tough opponents like depression and drug and alcohol abuse, its the Hitman. Get well soon Champ!

I think the Floyd fight started Hattons downward spiral into depression. During 24/7 Pacquiao/Hatton he stated that he was devastated after the loss to Floyd and that he cried for months. However, I do believe Pacquiao finished the job because the 2nd round knockout loss only confirmed that Hatton had no place fighting at the elite level.

i dont think either pac or floyd are responsible for hattons downfall. alot of professional sportsmen find it hard to do something else once ther careers over. their whole lives have been dedicated to a sport and once its over, sometimes they feel their life is over. ricky wont be the first or the last to suffer from depression or other mental illnesses due to retiring from their sport

And who was the man who set up the chain of events which ended his career prematurely? That would be Money Mayweather. Had Hatton not taken the Floyd fight i have a sneaking suspicion he'd be healthy and happy with his career and personal life right now.
I'm not saying this to build Floyd up either. His record and boxing resume speak for themselves. I just don't think we should ignore the pattern of what happens to fighters after they cross paths with Mayweather. This is a recurring trend that should be looked into.

Live streaming will change Emergency Management Agencies operations.
A new technology has the potential to forever change the way emergency management agencies operate.
While the everyday training of first responders was the primary focus of trainlu, a side aspect of the application may have much more potential than the training application. "We have the ability to securely stream video live to every first responder in a given area", said Michele Smith the founder and President of trainlu.
In the beginning, the option to stream live video was designed to offer first responders the ability to view a live feed of a training class that was remote form their location. A brief conversation with an EMA professional changed the way trainlu viewed live streaming forever.
"We initially contacted the EMAs across the nation to offer them ability to stream training videos to the first responders in their respective areas" Michele stated, "And then after speaking with several EMA directors a new aspect of the live streaming was realized. Our application allows EMAs to stream live video securely to every first responder in a given geographic area who has any smart phone or tablet. We can also stream live to televisions in every Fire, EMS, Police and Sheriff's Offices".
"If the trainlu application had been available prior to 2005 Hurricane Katrina catastrophe, there might have been a different outcome. The trainlu application would have allowed the local or state EMA to give live video updates to every first responder in the state of Louisiana and even the entire nation to assure mutual aid responders were briefed prior to their arrival", stated Chris Smith, Michele's husband and a Lieutenant/Paramedic with a large metro Atlanta fire department. "The Louisiana EMA and Governor would have had a stronger command and control of the incident with the ability to shift tactical priorities or objectives in an instant thus keeping everyone on the same page."
This type of pie in the sky technology has been available for years through complicated video conferencing systems that use dedicated servers and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The rapid explosion of technology that transmits video across the internet such as Netflix has made this technology both abundant and affordable.
"We now can equip an entire state with live video streaming for what it traditionally would have costs just to equip one county in the past", Michele said.
With the 2012 hurricane season underway, EMAs across the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico are gearing up for what could be another devastating hurricane season. "The one thing I would like the EMAs to know is that we can literally equip an entire state in less than 3 weeks. While we can't stop the hurricane from coming, we can definitely make your response to it much more professional and efficient" stated Michele.
To learn more about this new technology for first responders and emergency management agencies, visit www.trainlu.com.
trainlu, LLC (trainlu) is a video on demand distribution system for fire departments, EMS, and police. trainlu solves the major training video distribution problem that departments are currently experiencing. Similar to the way Netflix delivers movies, trainlu delivers training videos and provides live streaming capabilities. trainlu securely stores all of the training videos, and allows them to be accessed on-demand by any television, computer, tablet or smart phone. As a group, an entire department can watch high-quality training videos on any television. trainlu also links departments across the US, by allowing them to share their own training videos across the trainlu platform. The trainlu system is secure. It can only be viewed by public safety members, and even has reporting included.

My final article for the Daily Herald ran Saturday.
Jennifer Nickels' complaints about a teacher rewarding her 7-year-old daughter and other Dundee Highlands Elementary School students with candy prompted a schoolwide survey to parents, who were fine with the sweets. Meanwhile, policies about candy and other treats doled out during the school day vary across the suburbs. "It's the cupcake and quinoa wars," Margaret Van Duch of Mundelein's Fremont District 79 said.

Volume 26. Side Effects of Drugs Annual
1st Edition
A world-wide yearly survey of new data and trends in adverse drug reactions
- eBook ISBN 9780080522807
- Print ISBN 9780444509994
A world-wide yearly survey of new data and trends in adverse drug reactions
An international team of specialists have contributed to the Annuals by selecting critically from each year's publications all that is truly new and informative, by critically interpreting it, and by pointing out whatever is misleading. The use of the book is enhanced by separate indexes, allowing the reader to enter the text via the drug name, adverse effect, or drug interaction.
Special features of the Annuals are the Side Effects of Drugs Essay, usually written by a guest author, and the special reviews: short articles, within the different chapters, that give extra attention to topics of current interest.
The Essay in Annual 26 is entitled 'How safe is cannabis?' (by Professor L.L. Iversen) and there is a Historical Essay entitled 'From thalidomide to pharmacovigilance: a personal account' (by Professor D.J. Finney).
The special reviews in this volume include, among others:

A hint of orange juice and zest give this chunky soup an intriguing back taste. With hot garlic bread, it is virtually a meal-in-a-bowl, too late, though, for One Pot Wonders (my new book, published today).
Serves 4
Prep: 20 min
Cook: 40 min
2 red onions, approx 150g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 sweet potatoes, approx 550g
1 juicing orange
1 litre chicken or vegetable stock
200g tinned chopped tomatoes
100g spinach
1. Halve, peel and slice down the halves into chunky wedges. Heat the oil in a lidded pan over a medium heat. Stir in the onion

Anyway a sample size of 16 is very small.
What if : What makes YOU fat, may be different to what makes ME fat.
My guess of the outcome ( if stage 2 is done for say more than a month)
is a spread of results - some will lose weight (at least several pounds), some will gain weight ( at least several pounds) and some stay much that same.
This is assuming they eat all the provided food to meet their set maintenance caloric budget - even if the stage 2 keto diet reduces their appetite - they have to eat the set calories - no less, no more.
The weight gain could be fat, muscle or retained water.
I like a bet each way :-)
Last edited by EatMoveSleep; 08-27-2013 at 04:59 PM. Reason: lose weight - not loose weight :o
I cannot wait until this study is complete! I want to see all those calorie counters CRY!

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
My nutrition/fitness/critical thinking blog:
The results of this study will not matter if it goes against your beliefs. "When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger."
Therefore, either side of the CICO will lose and win regardless of the results. I know what works for me and many people I know, and I don't need a study of other fat people to tell me that. Clearly there are others in this forum that have had benefits from other methods.
Meaningless results, then. They might end up with an inordinate number of hyperthermic people in one group.Anyway a sample size of 16 is very small.
But, aside from that - the high-carb group will be HUNGRY, even if they all weigh the same.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
It's also worth realizing that this is a preliminary study, whether the article admits it or not, you're not going to be able to settle things based upon this study. But, it would potentially demonstrate that there's a need for more study in the future.
As far as what you're talking about, I do agree with your implication there. I'm not going to be changing my dietary habits based upon what 1 preliminary study done over a short period of time. The period of time being a larger concern than the sample size.
I don't any 'emotional investment' on the outcome (I think ) - I'm interested in the results even if they go against my current 'beliefs'.
Even if most lose weight - it doesn't mean all of them will enjoy eating/living that way in real life (is it sustainable for each individual??).
I think this study is worth the effort.
Thanks for another interesting thread.
