Paralympian Silver Medalist Myles Porter Headed for World Championships
Continuing his quest for the very best competition on earth, be it visually impaired or fully sighted, U.S. Paralympic Silver Medalist Myles Porter of Colorado Springs, CO, is headed for his first Senior World Championships, alongside U.S. Olympians and other fully-sighted elites, scheduled next week in Rio de Janeiro.
Competition runs Monday, Aug. 26, through Sept. 1 at the World Championships, second only to the Olympic Games in prestige and points that can be earned.
Porter was climbing on a plane Thursday for the long trip to Brazil. He described competing at the World Championships as "an honor" and said that "being able to represent the United States in Rio is a blessing. Also, competing as a VI (visually impaired) athlete goes back to my great coaching staff and teammates who've made me better every day."
Porter, 100 kg (USA Judo Training Site, Olympic Training Center/NYAC, Colorado Springs, CO), will be fighting in brackets heavy with the top athletes in the world. Among them is No. 1 ranked Henk Grol of the Netherlands, two-time Olympic Bronze Medalist. Grol has twice taken silver medals at the World Championships. Nearly 780 athletes from 124 nations are registered for the tournament.
Porter was part of U.S. History in the making when he took a silver medal at the Paralympic Games in London last summer. Paralympic teammate Dartanyon Crockett, 90 kg., also from the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, took a bronze medal. U.S. Superstar Kayla Harrison (USA Judo Training Site, Pedro's Judo Center/NYAC, Wakefield, MA) took a gold medal at the Olympic Games and Marti Malloy, 57 kg. (USA Judo Training Site, San Jose State University Judo/NYAC, San Jose, CA), claimed bronze.
Olympians Malloy, Travis Stevens, 81 kg. (USA Judo Training Site, Pedro's Judo Center, Wakefield, MA), and Nick Delpopolo, 73 kg. (Budokan Judo, Miami, FL) are among the 17-member U.S. team headed to Rio for the World Championships.
"This is my first able-body Worlds," Porter said. "I hope I can take the experience of two Paralympic Games as well as four or five World Championships (visually impaired) into this one and do well. This is another step for me to make it hopefully to the Olympics in 2016."

We purchase our Organic Virgin Coconut Oil from Earthoil, which supports a USDA certified organic virgin coconut oil project in Samoa. This particular project is run by a not-for-profit women's foundation - a unique venture aimed at rebuilding the economic independence of individual villages. By locating the production of virgin coconut oil within the villages, the returns to the villages and to the individual family groups are greatly increased.
Not all Coconut Oils are created equal. Ours is the result of a fast, fresh, traditional process. Most commercial coconut oil on the market is produced from dried coconut "meat" (copra). This is then refined, bleached, and deodorized at high heat and with the addition of chemicals. We won't use this stuff. Earthoil's process in Samoa involves whole families who collect the nuts which are then cracked, and the white flesh is extracted by hand. This flaked "meat" is then carefully dried before being passed through a hand-operated hydraulic press to produce a virgin coconut oil. This is the stuff Badger uses! Our coconut oil is produced within one hour of cracking the coconut. This process locks in the aroma "volatiles", thus giving the oil its unique coconut aroma and flavor.
The fresh coconut oil we use is delightfully fragrant and is an ideal skin moisturizer.

Menagerie - good idea so far. thanks.
I agree, I think this Menagerie forum is great, and the OT days can be "special" for totally random personal stuff.

This is fantastic- thank you SO much!
And I agree with some of the above posters that while OT days are certainly fun, we don't need them all the time. However, many of us 'horse people' are also 'dog/cat/etc people' and having a place to talk about our other pets is wonderful!

Great idea, since so many horse people have other animals in the family.
I think this is a great idea.
The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done".
Very cool. Thank you!

I LOVE the idea. I DO. But I'm truly confused. IF we can have an exotic animal (as in: not dog, cat, or farm related animal) forum...then, why? can't we have an open forum for COTHers to talk to each other in other regards?
Please, I know I'll get flamed, and again...I DO think this is a good idea...what I"m confused on, is why? we can't have one that is just for us to share other things on, vs. horses and horse life IF we can have this one?
I'm missing something, obviously...as to me, these are threads/discussions that would have otherwise been deleted. If we're relaxing that, then why are we limiting it to something NON horse related but yet, specific? at all?
Thanks for the question (boooooo!!! ) ~
Back when we started the Around the Farm forum, we intended to allow it to include discussion of other pets too, as horse people are generally animal people, and it's all sort of part of the "lifestyle."
The pet threads really started to dominate ATF, however, and some users were understandably not thrilled with having to wade through lots of pet posts when they come here for horses.
By creating a separate forum for other animals/pets, we're able to exclude this forum from the searches some of those posters used to scan for new topics each day, so it enables them to easily ignore the non-horse stuff if they so choose.
We've gone back and forth re: a full-time OT forum for years, and while we got the OK to open it up to other animals around the dawn of the ATF forum, in the end, the powers-that-be still want to reserve that free-for-all OT feature as more of a special event...
Part of the reasoning is likely to preserve the power of the OT forum to help folks blow off some steam with a unique diversion for a day or few, some of it relates to resources required to run a full-time OT forum on a site as busy as ours, and some of it still pertains to desire to keep the overall focus here on horses. Even though parrots, dogs and potbelly pigs clearly aren't horses, the whole critter-laden lifestyle is pretty much inherent to life with horses.
That all said, I can always keep asking.
Thanks for all the positive feedback...we had a feeling it wouldn't be a tough sell!
Mod 1
After owning the easiest keeper ever for 29 years, I was a member of this forum, but temporarilary unable to access the forum when she passed away. I was unable to come here and get sympathies and there theres.
Now it looks like I will never be able to afford another horse, and this is the only place I really go to keep up with what is going on in the outside world. I just love COTH, and now I love it more.
I still have 4 pets, and three are nearly 18 years old. so this is going to be a favorite of mine. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
and Amy
Another killer of threads
coollies, thank you!
where am I, what day is it, am I still having a good time?
New threads made in this forum WILL NOT appear in the New Posts or Today's Posts searches, so for those not interested in scrolling through pages of new puppy threads in search of interesting horse topics, hopefully that will allay most of your concerns re: this new offering.
Awesome. This addresses my concern about having to scroll through a bunch of OT stuff to find the horse stuff. Thanks for making this forum its own entity so those of us not interested are not affected by it.

That too, it is important to keep a clean conscience, always.
I do wonder how much longer I can keep from getting another cat, now that we will have a place for kitten pictures.
I am already avoiding the breeder forum, this one may be a tought one also.
Great idea! Love the name!! Thanks!!!
I am so glad to see this. So many of us horse fanatics have other critters too, it just makes sense and surely can and will increase traffic that will make the advertisers happy<G>.
RIP Sasha, best dog ever, pictured shortly before she died, Death either by euthanasia or natural causes is only the end of the animal inhabiting its body; I believe the spirit lives on.

Thank you so much! I have so many questions about the rest of the menagerie on our farm. The horses haven't made it into the house yet, although the mini found the malamute's dog door..
Then there are the on going joys of puppy/cats/horses/ odd wildlife...

I'd like to add my voice to the positives and say I think this is a GREAT idea! Yep, many of us "horse people" have other animals and it's great to be able to talk to our COTH pals about those other critters. Love the name for this section, too! Thanks, mods!!!

Topic: NetBeans 6 and Fast Debugger
Hello guys,
I have just installed NB 6.0 and I would like to use fast debugger but when I try using ruby gems I have a warning about permissions.
How can I manually change the gem directory permission ???

Hello guys,
I have just installed NB 6.0 and I would like to use fast debugger but when I try using ruby gems I have a warning about permissions.
How can I manually change the gem directory permission ???
What OS are you using ?
You need to chmod (or chown to your user) the gems folder. In my Ubuntu I chowned /var/lib/gems/1.8. For more details read http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/RubyGems .
I use Mac X 5.1
I don't know what means chmod (or chown). Could someone explain to me all the passes I have to do.
Look up unix commands to change permissions on files/folders.
chmod is one of those commands and it lets you set who can do what ( i.e. read/write ) with a file/folder.
Thanks, I took a look of unix commands but I don't know which file I have to edit. I'm a mac newbie and I have never used unix.
Can someone let me know the code I have to use in order to manually change the gem directory permission.
Thank you, I appreciate your help

Please, I can't fix it
Can someone help me ???
Sorry but I do not have a Mac so I do not know the path but from what I seen on the internet you could try
sudo chmod -R 777 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
sudo chmod -R 777 /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8
Last edited by ropiku (2008-01-07 14:02:09)
You might want to try posting this to firstname.lastname@example.com where this has been discussed a couple of times. I think somebody is writing a FAQ for it. Here's a similar thread:
http://www.nabble.com/Can%27t-get-the-f 10505.html
i know that there is a terminal in the mac too and commands are really similar to the actual Unix commands .
I don't use mac but I am sure that you can use the chmod (change mod ) chown (change owner) commands there .
Hey folks,
This is frustrating, I've done all of the following and still can't get it to work:
Macintosh:Gems barmstrong$ sudo gem install ruby-debug-ide
...(installed fine)
Macintosh:Gems barmstrong$ echo $GEM_HOME
Macintosh:Gems barmstrong$ sudo chown -fR barmstrong /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/
Macintosh:Gems barmstrong$ sudo chmod -R 777 /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/
Macintosh:Gems barmstrong$
Any ideas?
Finally solved this using these instructions: http://www.gewinnt-immer.de/?p=66
Note: i originally tried to edit the file from the command line and it didn't work for some reason. Once i opened it up in textmate and added those two lines, rebooted netbeans, it worked.
Damn, another 2 hours gone just getting debug working!

Seeing as this pickup gets rave reviews - I may be doing something wrong and need advice!
I have an 814 Brazilian Taylor that sounds really good unplugged and mic'ed (so I know it's not the guitar). I placed the Lyric exactly where the manual said to, I've adjusted the presence control, but I'm still getting a very hollow sound. It's not big and full like the Anthem is, and it sounds totally different when I mic it with a studio mic (which I'm assuming it should sound more like the studio mic, anyways).
Can someone please give me any suggestions about this? On regular computer speakers, it's harder to hear what I'm talking about, but through studio monitors and my Bose PA, you can REALLY hear it.

Mounting evidence suggests homeopathy can work�here�s how, and reasons to reconsider it.
For many of us who question whether homeopathy works, the natural healing technique is a dim concept we associate slightly with remedies brewing in cauldrons. Or we think of it as a tablet of hocus pocus we slip under the tongue.� In short, most of us, including conventional doctors, know very little about how homeopathy works, says homeopathic physician Dr. Toni Bark, director of the Center for Disease Prevention and Reversal in Chicago and adjunct professor at Boston University.

Homeopathic medicine, founded in the late 1700s, is essentially the use of like to cure like, somewhat like using fire to fight fire. The medications are hugely diluted doses of a substance�herbs, minerals or other natural substances-- that would produce certain disease symptoms in a healthy person, explains naturopathic doctor Brad S. Lichtenstein, chair of the Bastyr University Homeopathy Department in Kenmore, Wash.
So, for instance, if a healthy person takes arnica, a European herb, continuously, she will develop aches and pains. However, if a person with aches and pains takes a solution or tablet that contains arnica, the aches are likely to subside.
The science behind homeopathy is complex�and not entirely understood (as is true of many conventional medications). However, a number of factors--the rise of targeted medicine, the economic crisis in medical care, and concerns about drug side effects--are causing researchers and practitioners to reconsider homeopathy.
Below are several reasons for you to reconsider homeopathy as well:
Mounting evidence that homeopathy works. A 2012 multicenter study presented at the 2012 Annual European Congress of Rheumatology and published inthe Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases involved 449 patients with ankle sprains. Two groups were given Traumeel ointment or gel, a homeopathic treatment containing a number of ingredients including arnica; another group was given diclofenac gel, a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. Each group applied the ointments three times a day for 14 days with a six-week follow-up. Researchers found that the Traumeel relieved pain and improved function as effectively as� diclofenac.
In 2011, the Swiss government issued a report evaluating homeopathic medicine�s effectiveness and cost efficiency. After reviewing a wide swath of homeopathic studies, researchers found homeopathic remedies so effective that the government health insurance program is now offering reimbursement for homeopathic treatments.
Homeopathic remedies for upper-respiratory infections made a particular good showing in the Swiss study, says Lichtenstein: �The report cited 29 homeopathic studies on upper respiratory infections. Twenty-four had positive results.�
Homeopathy is cost effective. Studies indicate that homeopathy helps contain medical costs�both for doctors and patients. The 2011 Swiss report found that doctors who specialize in homeopathy had 15 percent lower practice costs than conventional physicians and those who practice complementary and alternative medicine but not homeopathy.
A 2005 German study of 493 patients published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine found that, at similar or lower costs, homeopathic treatments for complaints such as headache, backache, insomnia and sinusitis were more effective than conventional medicines.
�Cost is a great reason to reconsider homeopathy,� says Lichtenstein. �Many remedies cost about $8�and you can usually use the minimum dose.�
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, insurance companies are more apt to cover homeopathic remedies if they are prescribed by a medical doctor or doctor of osteopathy. It�s worth checking with your insurance company. Remedies are available over-the-counter or by prescription.
Side effects are rare.�Homeopathic remedies work electrically, not chemically, says Bark: �We believe they stimulate the body�s electro-magnetic system to [return] to the right pattern. They work through specific [energy] frequencies that allow energy to flow again.�
In homeopathy, a disease state is stuck energy, she explains: �With the remedies, we�re trying to match the disease state to the remedy, which stimulates the body to heal itself.�
That�s different than taking pharmaceutical drugs that suppress or alter body functions, she says: �For instance, when you take antidepressants you�re altering the absorption of serotonin.� When you take antibiotics, you alter the bacteria in the colon.
�Nothing is completely safe,� notes Lichtenstein. �But you usually take a homeopathic remedy a few times at a low potency, so there are no side effects.�

He'll be missed
To the Journal editor:
I wanted to comment on the recent passing of a public servant who had been a resident of Ishpeming for many years.
I am speaking of Robert Keitzer Jr. Bob, as he was called by most who knew him, was a "big guy" whose physical presence was dwarfed by his huge heart.
Bob served western Marquette County for over 20 years as an EMT and paramedic. He was also a firefighter with the city of Ishpeming.
Bob passed away recently after a long battle with diabetes and the complications that stemmed from it. We who knew him and also worked with him know that this world is a better place because of Bob.
We also know that there is a special place for him on the "Heaven Fire and EMS Department."
I think that our community should stop and say a quick prayer for Bob, his family and also for our local heroes who are serving us everyday.
Bob, here is one final salute from a Brother Fire Fighter and former co-worker.

James F. 'Topper' Katarincic
ESCANABA – James F. "Topper" Katarincic, 78, of Escanaba, passed away on Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013, at St. Jude's Assisted Living Home in Escanaba.
James was born Sept. 27, 1934, in Escanaba, the son of John and Mary (Minnerick) Katarincic. James lived in Escanaba his entire life except for the time he spent serving his country in the United States Air Force from 1952 to 1956. Following his discharge he worked as a porter on the boats for Inland Steel for 34 years until his retirement in 1992. He was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church where he served as an usher and greeter and spent many hours working the church breakfasts and Harvest Dinners. He was a valued member of the 3rd Degree Knights of Columbus Council 640, spending countless hours selling raffle tickets at Elmer's County Market and working on the MI Drive (Tootsie Rolls). James spent most of his time volunteering at the St. Vincent de Paul Society warehouse in Escanaba. James was there every day and has been acknowledged numerous times for the many hours he has given over the years. He was also an RSVP volunteer, a member of the American Legion and enjoyed crossword puzzles.
James is survived by two brothers, John Katarincic of Gladstone and Robert (Annette) Katarincic of Florida; a sister, Rosemary Katarincic of Escanaba; numerous nieces and nephews and his St. Vincent de Paul Family.
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, Jan. 30, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Skradski Family Funeral Home in Escanaba. Military honors will be presented at 4 p.m. at the funeral home by the Delta County Veterans Council. Mass of Christian Burial will be at 5 p.m. at the St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church with Rev. Fr. Eric Olson officiating. A luncheon will immediately follow services in the fellowship hall. James will be laid to rest in the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in the spring.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by MW Much lighter than advertised. Great paddle, easy to handle. Just 355g not 395g. Very please with results so far. December 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by kenpal not all paddles are alike i purchased two paddles on the same order. they were the same price, yet one came with a great cover and was shipped in a box, while the other was shipped in a plastic bag without a paddle cover. i'm sure the paddles are both good for play, but it would have been nice to have a case like the other one, especially since they were the same price, same manufacturer, purchased on the same order/day. December 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by PghMary great product I bought this paddle because it was similar to the current paddle I was using. I researched paddles from different companies on the internet. When I decided which one I wanted, I put it on an Amazon search to check the pricing options. Dick's Sporting goods carried it and at a price about $30 less than the places I thought I would be purchasing it from. Shipping was free and it came within the amount of time promised. Perfect!

Zeta Carbon in API
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) has been used for many years in the pharmaceutical (API) industry. Its purpose is to remove impurities from API processes. These impurities are typically either coloured by-products, dissolved catalysts or other more complex species.
PAC is produced by either chemical or steam activation. Steam activation leads to a greater number of micropores (less than 100nm) and mesopores (100nm to 1μm), while chemical activation produces more open macropore (>1μm) structures. Careful selection of how the PAC has been activated is important to match the optimum activation to the type of species that need to be removed.
In addition to activation method the adsorption efficiency of PAC is affected by the number of active sites on the carbon, and other process parameters such as contact time, temperature, pH, and concentration of contaminant.
PAC is still considered a viable way to de-colorize solutions / adsorb contaminations however GMP is causing many API manufacturers to have concerns with the ongoing use of powdered carbon.
Traditionally a process involves adding PAC, re-circulating and then filtering to remove. This presents operators with many Health and Safety concerns along with the challenge of removing the recovered PAC, the inconvenience of handling left over carbon and the risk of carbon fines breaking through to the final crystallization therefore requiring at best costly rework or worse scrapping of the drug substance.
Meeting the needs of the API Industry, 3M Purification pioneered the immobilization of PAC in its 3M™ Zeta Carbon™ Range which offer over 40 different types of carbon in its product range. Such an extensive portfolio is important as source material and activation method are the key to performance rather than just quantity of PAC.
GMP is a requirement for many regulatory authorities. To meet these guidelines many companies have moved to the 3M ZetaCarbon system as PAC immobilized within the filter matrix reduces many of the concerns and simultaneously delivers improved yields and reduced cost of ownership.
ZetaCarbon is a lenticular style cartridge that immobilizes PAC in its structure. This produces a stable and torturous path through which the contaminated liquid is forced to flow. The impurity and activated sites of the PAC are therefore brought into close proximity improving the performance removal and ultimate efficiency of the PAC to adsorb impurities.
Health and Safety is improved as there is no longer an exposure to PAC Dust and since used in sealed systems it reduces operator exposure to the active drug and Hot Toxic Solvents that are typically used in the manufacture of API.
Processes now run cleaner meaning more manageable batch to batch cleaning and significantly enhanced robustness to preventing carbon fines entering the final drug substance.
This improves reproducibility, reduces failed batches and solvent contamination which are all key drivers to improving efficiency and reducing the total costs of ownership.

text: Selena St George reluctantly returns to the small Maine island where she grew up, and where her estranged mother Dolores is being held by police. Dolores worked for bitter old crippled woman Vera Donovan, and following Vera dying after falling downstairs, Detective Mackey is holding her on suspicion of murder: after all, he is convinced she murdered her husband, but he couldn't prove it. This is adapted from one of Stephen King's shorter and most subtle books: though not without its nightmarish elements, it is far from a horror story, and King wrote the character Dolores with Kathy Bates in mind. The story unwinds through flashbacks, and the intermingling of recollection, reality and prejudicial interpretation keep the mystery element working throughout the film. All five principle performers (Bates as Dolores, Jennifer Jason Leigh as Selena, Judy Parfitt as Vera, Christopher Plummer as Mackey, and David Strathairn as Joe St George) are excellent, as is the adaptation by Tony Gilroy and the direction by Taylor Hackford. This is not only the great overlooked Stephen King adaptations, it is also probably the classiest.

November 9, 2009 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: POLICY UPDATE – Exclusion of Combat Pay from WIC Income Eligibility Determination
SUBJECT 2: Updates on the Translated WIC Resource Items (Printable Version)
SUBJECT 3: The Missouri WIC Approved Fruits and Vegetables (Spanish version)
SUBJECT 4: Lead Away! Video
SUBJECT 5: Letter and Newsletters from Jim DeMaio, Learning Dynamics
- POLICY UPDATE – Exclusion of Combat Pay from WIC Income Eligibility Determination: Congress added to the FY2010 appropriations bill for WIC, an additional income exclusion for combat pay. Following is guidance we have received from USDA, which must be implemented immediately:
Combat pay is defined as an additional payment made under Chapter 5 of Title 37 of the United State Code, or as otherwise designated by the Secretary to be excluded, that is received by the household member who is deployed to a designated combat zone. Combat pay is excluded if it is:
- Received in addition to the service member's basic pay;
- Received as a result of the service member's deployment to or service in an area that has been designated as a combat zone; and
- Not received by the service member prior to his/her deployment to or service in the designated combat zone.
A combat zone is any area that the President of the United States designates by Executive Order as an area in which the U.S. Armed Forces are engaging or have engaged in combat. As with other types of income commonly received by military personnel (such as the Basic Allowance for Housing or Basic Allowance for Subsistence payments), combat pay received by service members is normally reflected in the entitlements column of the military Leave and Earning Statement (LES). Information regarding deployment to or service in a combat zone may also be available through military orders or public records on deployment of military units.
Local agencies should continue to count service members, while deployed, as household members for purposes of determining income eligibility for the WIC Program.
We will be updating our policy accordingly and sending to USDA for approval. Until that time, please ensure your staff is excluding combat pay from WIC income eligibility determination. If you have any questions, please contact your TA staff.
- Updates on the Translated WIC Resource Items (Printable Version): The following items have been translated into 11 languages (Arabic, Bosnian, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, and Hmong) and are being re-formatted to letter size (8.5" x 11"):

- The Missouri WIC Approved Fruits and Vegetables (Spanish version): The Missouri WIC Approved Fruits and Vegetables brochure (Spanish) is being printed. The State office will ship this brochure to local WIC providers who use the Spanish version by November 13, 2009. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Takako Tagami at email@example.com.
- Lead Away! Video: The Bureau of Environmental Epidemiology has some Sesame Street videos, Lead Away!, that addresses lead poisoning prevention and may be used for WIC nutrition education. The videos are in VHS format but the clip is also available at http://www.sesameworkshop.org/initiatives/health/lead for downloading and burning to a DVD if you prefer that format. There are also other resources available at this site. The child care consultants will also be getting them, so LWPs may want to check with their child care staff first before requesting a copy. If you would like to request a copy of the video in VHS format, please email Reba Brown at firstname.lastname@example.com and indicate your agency name, address for shipping, phone number and a contact person. These are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- Letter and Newsletters from Jim DeMaio, Learning Dynamics: We will begin including in our WIC Weekly Update a note and newsletter from Jim DeMaio with Learning Dynamics. For those of you who attended the Missouri WIC Association Workshop the end of October, 2009, a representative from Learning Dynamics presented the opening and the closing remarks. Attached are the July, September and November WIC Customer Service Tips Newsletters that Learning Dynamics developed. It appears there will be 6 newsletters per year. We hope you enjoy them.

DTE Energy (DTE) is conducting this study as part of the SmartCurrents SM pilot program funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE sponsored Technical Advisory Group (TAG) assigned to oversee and support this study has provided invaluable contributions to the design, implementation, and evaluation of results.
This interim report describes the program background, overview, design, implementation, and analysis methodology, and provides preliminary results based on the data collected during the first two event days. Specifically, the interim report covers analysis of data for approximately 2,035 randomly assigned treatment and control group customers for the
event days that occurred on August 16, 2012 and on May 30, 2013. The study will provide DTE a means to leverage Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) along with enabling technologies to not only offer new pricing options but to evaluate corresponding customer acceptance, satisfaction,and behavior changes, to offer a platform for better customer energy management, and also to give DTE an ability to evaluate customer acceptance and satisfaction.

Lillian Endsley Britton, 93 of Harrisburg, passed away Monday, June 16, 2014, at her home.
She was born on May 27, 1921, in the community of Ledford to Fred and Mabel Irwin Carrier. She was married on Oct. 3, 1936, to Clint "Syd" Endsley who preceded her in death on March 7, 1954. She later married Morris Harding Britton in 1960 and he preceded her in death also.
As a young woman, Lillian along with her husband Clint and three daughters was an active member of the Dorrisville Baptist Church. Her love for her family extended to her church family where she taught Sunday School and Bible School, sang in the choir and served as a mentor as only she could to those in need of her guidance and love.
In her middle years as Mrs. Morris Harding Britton she was an active member of the Vail Street Baptist Church in Bloomington and her church when she died was the Pankeyville Baptist Church. There she loved and was loved in return by her wonderful church family. She taught the older men's class, her "boys" as she called them, where she brought the Bible alive by applying its ancient lessons to life as we live it today.
Because of her strong belief in her church's work in the mission field, for many many years up until her death Mrs. Britton contributed faithfully to the Billy Graham Ministry. Through the Franklin Graham ministry she established the Samaritan's Purse shoebox program at Pankeyville Baptist Church where it continues to thrive. Through it her compassionate, loving spirit continues in the service of Christ.
Lillian is survived by three daughters, Mrs. George (Elaine) Myers and Anne and Thomas A. Alexander, all of Harrisburg, and Katie and Bill Poulos of Dongola; five grandchildren, Marta Myers Rollins, Karen Alexander McConnell, Steven Alexander, Elaina Poulos Keller and Christopher Poulos; 17 great-grandchildren; and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husbands, Clint "Syd" Endsley and Morris Harding Britton; one daughter, Sally Earlene Endsley; two grandchildren, Clint Ferrell and Cindy Myers Galeener; two brothers Wendell Carrier and Kenneth Carrier; and three sisters, Kathleen Barker, Evelyn Hudgins and Iva Marie Carrier.
Funeral services will be 1 p.m. Thursday, June 19, 2014, at the Pankeyvile Baptist Church with the Rev. Steve Nyburg officiating and burial in the Ledford Cemetery. Friends may call after 11 a.m. Thursday at the Pankeyville Baptist Church. For those who wish, memorials may be made to the Pankeyville Baptist Church. The J. M. Weirauch Funeral Home in Harrisburg is in charge of arrangements.

A. Swim training with paddles is a great way to develop upper- body strength, perfect your stroke and add diversity to your swim session. There are many options when choosing paddles but I would recommend hand and finger paddles.The fairly large Speedo BioFUSE Power Paddle increases the surface area of the water you catch, which in turn increases resistance. This will improve your strength and endurance.Build up graduallyIncorporate short amounts of paddle work into your training sessions and gradually build them up; if you do too much, too quickly you risk shoulder strain and injury. The second type I would recommend is the Speedo BioFUSE Finger Paddle. These paddles go over the edge of your hand and can be used for perfecting your technique and improving distance per stroke, which is very important for triathletes. Finger Paddles are a great way to develop a feel for the water. When using them, keep your palm open and try to maintain the sensation of water running over your hand. These paddles are engineered for maximum resistance in water and used over time they will help to increase upper-body strength and power. Elite training tips Again, start by introducing short sessions into your training regime and gradually increase.Other swimming aids to consider when training for a triathlon are pull buoys, kick boards and fins, which all help improve technique and develop strength for specific muscle groups; all are used by professional swimmers and triathletes. Ben Titley Ben Titley is a Speedo coach and head coach of the British Swimming Intensive Training Centre at Loughborough University. His first international coaching duties were at the 1998 Commonwealth Games and as a head coach of the British team at the 1999 World University Games. Eleven of Ben's athletes have represented Great Briatin at the Olympics, and he has twice been voted British Swimming Coach of the Year.

Food Habits
Southern tamanduas eat ants and termites (mainly arboreal forms), which they locate by scent. They avoid eating ants that are armed with strong chemical defenses, such as army ants and leaf-eating ants. Tamanduas are also thought to eat honey and bees and, in captivity, have been known to eat fruit and meat as well. Anteaters extract their prey by using their extremely strong forelibs to rip open nests and their elongate snouts and rounded tongues (up to 40 cm in length) to lick up the insects.

As you listen to the sound of wind in the trees, the gentle burble of a nearby stream or the chirp of birds, you might physically be sitting in your living room but mentally you are far away. In this beautifully written article in Gamasutra by Sound Designer Damian Kastbauer, you are given the opportunity to take a look at his vision of the future of interactive audio experiences.
Sound has the ability to put us in a specific time and place associated with that sound. In the article he says, "I remain lost in thought as the sound of rushing water catches my memory. My mind is transported to a sunny day from my past. A reunion has brought family members together…"
The piece is an introduction to his Oxford Handbook of Interactive Audio (due 2014) in which he imagines the ability to synthesize the long-ago sounds of earth circa 2012 and the technology it took to get to this point. "It was during this time in simulation technology that our industry was just beginning to iron out inconsistencies inherent within the burgeoning field of procedural audio, synthesis, and the advanced manipulation of dynamic sound: baby steps toward the expansive fully realized simulation I'm testing today."
Can you think of a time that sound has taken you to a different time and place?

The images of the disaster in Haiti are both astonishing and heartbreaking, and the death toll continues to rise. Some are in shock, others are desperate in a dire situation that is growing even more dangerous. Water is running out, aid is slow in coming, medical personnel are in short supply, and armed gangs roam the streets in search of resources to steal. If you want to see how serious the situation is, and how horrific it may yet become, read this post over at the Pyromaniacs blog.
Is the earthquake in Haiti a demonstration of God's judgment? Some think so; others aren't so sure; and still others are appalled at the suggestion. Understandably, our emotions are often out in front when we look into the eyes of human suffering. In times like these, it's especially important to turn to God's Word for answers. John MacArthur's sermon, "Supernatural Lessons from a Natural Disaster," will equip you to answer questions with a biblical perspective, pointing others to the only hope in Jesus Christ. (Click here to listen to John's sermon right now.)
In the meantime, the earthquake has wreaked havoc on a poor country, and there is much to do. The compassion of Christians everywhere has been aroused for the victims of this tragedy, those left homeless, widowed, and orphaned who wander the streets in shock and fear. It's clearly a time for prayer, that law and order would be restored so there is an environment in which search and rescue teams can work, aid workers can distribute food and water, and skilled medical workers can be brought in to treat the wounded.
Even after the initial crisis subsides, many reliable people will still be needed to help the people of Haiti—trustworthy volunteers to distribute food and drinking water; workers to clear rubble, repair the infrastructure, and rebuild; and counselors to help victims and their families adjust to a new reality. In the days, weeks, months, and years to come, Christians can make a tremendous impact in Haiti. How? By partnering with established organizations that have the infrastructure in place to turn donations into practical help—food, water, and other essentials; biblical counsel and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Grace Community Church has an ongoing partnership with Children's Hunger Fund (CHF), a compassion ministry that is unique in being gospel-centered and biblically-minded. Some of CHF's staff and leadership are members of GCC, and a few have been trained at The Master's Seminary. CHF is an efficient and trustworthy organization, having earned the highest possible ratings from MinistryWatch.com and Charity Navigator. Ninety-nine cents of every dollar donated to CHF goes to those who are hurting and in need.
By the providence of God, a CHF team trained Haitian pastors and volunteers in Bible-based mercy ministry just before disaster struck. In conjunction with their trip, they sent a sea-container to Haiti with 1,800 "Food Paks" (containing food, supplies, and aid)—the container arrived the Wednesday before the quake hit. CHF's network of churches, pastors, and counselors, having just been equipped and supplied, is right now on the ground distributing aid and proclaiming the hope of the gospel to a frightened and bewildered nation looking for answers.
CHF has another sea-container, filled wtih bottled water and ermergency food rations, staged and ready to ship from their warehouse in San Antonio, TX; they plan to send at least ten more cargo containers in the immediate future. From offices and warehouses in San Antonio and Los Angeles, CHF is already engaged in a coordinated effort with its network of churches in Haiti and the Dominican Republic to provide help and hope to the victims in Haiti.
You can help CHF fill and ship these containers fulll of aid, and you can support CHF and its network of churches, pastors, and counselors in several ways—pray for CHF and its efforts; give to CHF; and connect CHF with donors and resources. Take advantage of this opportunity to show Christian compassion. All the details are at the CHF home page.

The providence of the Almighty is truly at work in noting that even before disaster struck, CHF was operating under His will by their presence, through equipping the saints, in bringing daily and incidental needs, and now, in preparing for phases of assistance to the Haitian nation. The Lord is truly full of grace and mercy in His provision. Our Heavenly Father is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient as pastor MacArthur has pointed out in his teaching.

I ask God as I write these words to burden our hearts to use this oppurtunity to pray and witness and show love through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Pray for those suffering and also those who sacrificed and went to help the wounded and dying.These people who need our help are priceless
and make up a part of the Great Commission to us.In Christ name Amen
May The Lord show mercy on Haiti. Let's keep on praying for them. Let us pray that The Holy Spirit will, during this moment minister Salvation unto the people of Haiti.
People!! Do any of you think that this is a connection to Bible prophecy??.. I now we all know the answer.. just trying to raise a topic for discussion .:):)..
Dear Renny,
I don't know why bad things happens all over the world, only that its a lost and dying world and people all over the globe need Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul mentioned in Romans 8:18-23 that all of creation is groaning, it says in verse 21 that creation is waiting to be delivered from the bondage of corruption. I am trying to tread carefully here, because i heard the remarks of Pat Robertson recently and i do not in anyway condemn the Haiti people, and i pray that the LORD will use this oppurtunity to bring souls into His kingdom. May God bless you Renny.
Renny, its a difficult one to raise discussion on without covering other incidences such as the tsunami, devastation caused by hurricanes in the US, droughts in Ethiopia, scandalous activity gone unhindered in Zimbabwe and SA against white farmers and African people, Idi Amin the list is absolutely endless since the Eve bit the apple "so to speak". Yeah its all got to do with prophecy because ""sin"" in its entirety = death. What is experienced in the world is a result of it, is like that, until Jesus returns to destroy it for all eternity.
yeah.. hmmm.. we eagerly await the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. :)
Yes...We must make sure we abide in Christ and the Holy Spirit and His love abides in us when He does return.
Nothing touches our lives that does not first pass through the hands of God.
*Not my original statement, but I cannot remember who said this. Therefore I am unable to give credit or able to accept credit.
Greeetings and Blessings to all and especially those involved with the diaster in Haiti and elsewhere!.
We've long ceased to embarassed by the local televangelist in southeast Virginia citing erroneous data concerning satannic worship concertaing Haitians; Paul said 'such were you..'
We were going to make a sacrificial donation through the normal channels and indeed others were going to send donations via cellular phones. I'm always grateful that my delay was none other than the Holy Spirit directing us as to how to assist through a faith-based organism-nor merely organization, that will not only provide physical assistance, but also provide opportunities to save souls after the physical body is long gone and the diaster(s) are diminished and forgotten.
As stated above, they were there BEFORE the diaster, certainly they are there during today's aftershock and will be there afterwards, glorifying GOD.
We will, through our prayers and donations, be with them as well. How about YOU?
Faith and Prayers Always, Wayne
this is my first time posting and i pray God be merciful to the people of hati an those ministring to them
also America needs to turn back to God!!!thanks John MacArthur for your teaching i can only listen online and i am on your mailing list and appreciate everything you send..God Bless those who reach out to others to show them the need for out Lord Jesus Christ. Have a Blessed Weekend:)
I am from Haiti and have most of my family there right now. I have been asked many times about whether or not I believe that the disaster is judgment from God. I have heard many comments made from both believers and non-believers. I thank you pastor John MacArthur for always clarifying the Word of God for us so that we can make a biblical judment and understand why things happen in the world. I appreciate your ministry so much and I am so thankful for all of your teachings.
May God continue to bless you and your ministry.
I know this will sound selfish or in some way what people will think badly of me for but I have to say it. I wonder about people Christian and non-Christian alike that help people like those in Haiti and other places overseas. Why do they choose to help these people and not those right in their own backyards. I needed help and requested it from a church. They wouldn't help me because they said I was an inactive member. I was not asking for money. I wanted friends and physical help because I had cancer and no one to help me. Other churches didn't want to help me because I wasn't a member of their church. In 2 years I will be on the street because my insurance will stop paying me. What about the people right here on skid row. Some of them didn't ask to be there. I didn't ask for cancer. Does God lead people to help some and not others? Can a Christian be homeless? It will be even more difficult to be on the streets with a walker and a colostomy. Before I got sick I had a good job. I have paid my taxes and helped others. I have no one. I can't and won't live on the streets. Life is hopeless to me. No one cares about me. There I have said it. Respond how you want.
Where do you go to church? It's really sad to here what has transpired with you. I do see your point and it is sad to see that not even our own government will help its' own people, but dole out billions for other countries. Part of it is politics. Have you gone to a local social services office to see if they can help you? There are programs like Cash Aid, Food Stamps and Medi-Cal that could help you out. If they can't help you they will refer you to a place that can. What part of Los Angeles do you live in? Let me know what happens? i will be praying for you. God Bless You! :)
In Christ,
Hi Lynda
What you are saying is very valid. We as Christians seem more eager to help those in foreign lands than people in their own backyard - disasters such as Haiti have us reaching for our wallets by reflex, but we drive past beggars in our own streets, ignore pleas for help by those such as yourself. And this is a worldwide phenomenon. There are those Christians that reflect the glory of God in love and compassion - I pray that people such as these will find you.
I don't mean to diminish your own personal tragedy in any way, but people may seem quicker to notice and respond to Haiti-type disasters because of the difference in scale. I don't know what you've read about the situation down there, but the number of dead (100,000 and counting), the widescale destruction of the infrastructure, the lack of essential resources, the violence, the orphans wandering the streets, all the accompanying challenges--and all of it happening at the same time--the situation demands attention, awakens compassion, and calls for an appropriate humanitarian response. There's nothing hypocritical about that; it's actually quite appropriate.
That's not to say those who ignore the poor and infirm in our midst are excused; the Lord will hold everyone accountable, and He sees everything. He's also able to see your situation, and if you belong to Him, He sees and cares for your situation too..."casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you" (1 Pet. 5:7).
If you're looking for a good church in your area, you might try the pastor search feature at The Master's Seminary website. Remember, no church is perfect--they are populated with redeemed sinners. But with time and good teaching from God's Word, "redeemed" increasingly eclipses "sinners."
this is my first time responding ,we are so blessed to have pastor and teacher john macarthur,to see the truth of God word and the living word thru our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ , to we all as true called genuine born again believers, to the call of God will for our lives , and perserver,and keep trusting and keep Himm for front in all God does,for His Glory and purpose and rare ,growing and pruning and shaping and transforming in all our ares of week ness and helpless ness, thru our Savior,Jesus Christ our Lord and Sovereign ruler, i encourage to all a excellent book i bought thru a Sola Scripturia Conference in my area it help me to get rid of the its not fair attituide. the author is Wayne Mack and Pastor John made a comment on the book( quote wonderful insight and clarity).it went hand in hand with all thats is going on and the situstion in Haiti, i hope some of you will check this book out ,full of God teaching in these days of trials and futures days to come ,and not taken away from the most important instruction book of all in truth, the most purest book ,the Revelation of Gods word.,my prayers go out to my Brother and Sisters in the Lord in Haiti, to help with building, bring food ,and medical attention,water helping,to bring families to- gether, and using the opportunties to explain to the people who dont know our Lord ,and show them thru Gods word about how sin came into the world and how the world was cursed with it , and show the hope we have in turning away from our selves and our wordlly idols and come with a repentent heart and ask for forgiveness and allow Jesus to take control of our lives and teach us the way to live and to give all Glory back to God,with the help of the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and to see His mercy and Grace and keeping them alive and still here to come to him and escape the eternal deth of hell and come to Him and seek His Kingdom ot for ever and ever Heaven joy, that were the true party is. In Christ Warren
will be keeping you in prayer Lynda and use the pastors site that travis recommended and will pray that the Lord will lead you to a solid bible teaching church,and yes there is no perfect church ,but will pray that the pastor and leadership will have dicerment not only understanding Gods word but applying it in there lives as well.and reach out to brothers and sisters in need and give encouragement with kindess . compassionate and the Love .of our Lord that is in there hearts.. my family had a situtation many years ,in a church that we used to attend,and we were baby new believers,,a family there were going thru stuff .we all did pray but all the pray we do if action is not applyied it is nothing.(james2:14-18),Lynda, that church that did not help ,keep them in prayer,always remember God using these to correct us refine us and teach us how to respond,we are not perfect ,we are all growing daly. in Christ Warren

ATI Technologies today unveiled its highly-anticipated new-generation graphics processors that bring additional speed and realism into today's and tomorrow's computer games.
The latest RADEON X800-series graphics processors use additional capabilities of the previous generation RADEON 9500/9600/9700/9800-series graphics chips and greatly improve performance in DirectX 9.0 applications. The features the RADEON X800 processors employ are aimed on improving of the graphics quality in computer games. However, the new family of ATI's VPUs do not support the Shader Model 3.0, something that is available on the hardware of ATI's arch-rival NVIDIA.
ATI and its worldwide board partners will offer several configurations of graphics boards based on the RADEON X800 chips. Board partners that will be shipping RADEON X800 products include ABIT, ASUS, Celestica, Club 3D, Connect 3D, Creative, Diamond, Elsa, FIC, Gigabyte, Hightech Information Systems, Info-Tek, MSI, Sapphire, Tul, VisionTek, Xpertvision and Yuan.
System Integrators including ABS, Alienware, Falcon Northwest, Velocity Micro, VoodooPC and ZT Group, will include the RADEON X800 in their systems for customers who want the ultimate gaming PC.
ATI will offer two RADEON X800 products, the RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition and the RADEON X800 PRO through retail, system integrator and OEM partners.
For the competitive gamers who demand the best performance bar-none, the RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition will be powered by a 16-pipe pixel processing engine clocked at 520MHz. To take advantage of the massive pixel processing power of the RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition, the product has been paired with high-speed 1.12GHz data rate GDDR3 memory and a 256-bit memory interface. The RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition will ship later this month with a suggested retail price of $499.
The RADEON X800 PRO, with a suggested retail price of $399, will be powered by a 12-pipe pixel processing engine clocked at 475MHz. A 256-bit memory interface and GDDR3 memory with a 900MHz data rate will deliver unmatched performance in its price category. The RADEON X800 PRO is shipping immediately and customers can purchase it online through major retailers in
More information about architectural capabilities of the RADEON X800-series graphics processors is available in X-bit labs' article titled "ATI RADEON X800: R420 Totally Exposed". To compare ATI's novelties with competitor from NVIDIA in 25 benchmarks, check out the "Clash of the Titans: ATI RADEON X800 PRO and ATI RADEON X800 XT Against the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra" article.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Well done but a pretty tough marathonIn full: Well organised - enthusiastic team - bonkers medal, but don't come here looking for a PB - hilly. If you're just finding your feet in marathoning or some kind of elite, then maybe a PB course, otherwise I'd advise not using this to crack that elusive PB.Honestly - 17 laps of an up and down track can be pretty demoralising if things aren't going well.Loved the enthusiasm of the organisers, and some cool touches like the motivational chap running the course in the opposite direction. I think the drinks station could have been handled better, it was at the top of a long incline and people were just stopping, and really causing a problem.It would work better for the station staff to ask them to walk through and then stop.Still a really nicely done race.Date of review: June 3, 2013
In short: Brutal hills ofset by natural beauty and great on the day organisation, the local bottle of stout in the goody bag was a masterstokeDate of review: June 25, 2012
In short: Nice race with some big upsidesIn full: Liked this one - pretty flat course with definite pb potential. So many things were spot on - in future years however I'd make it clearer where runners start from, and also the finish funnel marker was not obvious, the race clock was on 40 when I stopped (I started behing this_ but somehow was 40:48 on my time. This was probably down to it not being clear where the finish line was.Still great race and will do again.Date of review: August 12, 2010
In short: Nice race with a great feel, organisation and CHEER LEADERS!!!In full: I felt like a quarterback at the NFL with all those great cheerleaders, thanks Girls. The one man band was also a British classic, really nice race.Date of review: March 8, 2009
In short: Nice race, good pb potential and well organisedIn full: Really rated this race, very simple to take part in with little pressure , well organised with some lovely sea views. Flat course and runner friendly rain made this a great PB opportunuty.Special mention for free lucozade sport (nice touch).Really nice to run a course in a place where I'd spent so many holidays as a nipper, and the tower looked so impressive with just its top poking out of the mist.The only (small) downside was the website and course map (not clear), but all in all a great race and one I will do again.ps - We stayed in the Holmecliffe hotel which was excellent and literally 100 yards away from the start. Great place that we will use again.Date of review: April 30, 2008
In short: Excellent race for all levels, and quick.Date of review: September 24, 2007
In short: A testing course, mixing long steep climbs with fast downhill sections. Gloroious scenary at the end and quite technical in assesing performance expectationsDate of review: September 3, 2007
In short: Nicely set up and a good courseIn full: First time I've run the D10k and there are lots of good things about it. Nicely set up with minimal pressure, nice to see the locals out and cheering on the runners and the course has a nice mix of long inclines and also long declines. The only snag I found was that the finish wasn't clear from the website maps, so I set off for a strong finish way too early, luckily managed to find some more reserves from where I don't know. But would definitely run it again.The only other snag was falling foul (no punn intended) of walking to the front of a huge loo queue and feeling very embarrassed when another runner said "there's a queue mate", and after turning around saw a lomg snaking mass of people looking justfiably peturbed - honestly I didn't see you!Date of review: March 12, 2007

Money tips for snowbirds
The Columbus Dispatch - November 01, 2013 11:09 AM
Heading South for the winter?
Before packing up the car, there are some things you can do to help manage your money while enjoying the warm climate.
For starters, sign up for online banking and download your bank's app. The app will give you access to your checking and other bank accounts and you can use the app to pay bills, deposit checks and send money to anyone in the U.S. from your phone or tablet.
You can even sign up for alerts so that changes in your account will trigger a text message to your phone.
Finally, set up your accounts so that deposts are made directly into your account and the same goes for regular bills that can be paid automatically each month.

Cats can get a number of upper respiratory infections, but feline calicivirus is one of the most common infectious agents in cats with respiratory issues. If your cat has clinical signs typical of a "cold," bring it to a veterinarian to learn more about the possibility of this illness.
If your cat is experiencing clinical signs such as sneezing, nasal congestion, inflammation and conjunctivitis in the eyes, or discharge from the nose or eyes, bring it to the vet for treatment. These are the most common signs of respiratory illness, but cats with calicivirus may also have ulcers on the tongue, hard palate, gums, lips or nose, according to VCA Animal Hospitals.
Your veterinarian will likely recommend a treatment plan you can use at home. As long as the infection is uncomplicated, your vet may prescribe an eye medication to treat eye discharge or other medications to treat symptoms that interfere with the cat's overall well being, VCA reports.
According to Petside.com, this illness can be spread through saliva or inhalation, so if your cat interacts with other felines in the house, you may want to treat them, as well. With supportive care, your cat should be able to fight off the virus in about 20 days.

Rhett Miller intensely acoustic solo and heartland rocking with full band during Cystic Fibrosis concert at Granada Theater
Rhett Miller strummed his acoustic guitar like it was the lead instrument in a roaring heavy metal band. With every feverish attack on the strings and fret board he frenetically bobbed his head, his hair strategically falling back into place once he approached the microphone. For an acoustic performance, Miller was intensely energized.
Ah, but Miller wouldn't be acoustic and solo for long. The latter half of his 65-minute set Saturday night at Granada Theater featured a three-man band that included noted Dallas record producer and singer-songwriter Salim Nourallah on bass, Polyphonic Spree drummer Jason Garner and San Antonio's Joe Reyes of the band Buttercup on electric guitar. Miller was sandwiched between Dallas' the O's and Austin's the Gourds during the sixth annual Cystic Fibrosis Concert Series. Miller has been a performer all six years; the show an obvious nod to his Big D hometown. The frontman of Dallas' revered Old 97′s may now live in New York, but he's never abandoned his local roots.
When Miller was amped up and surrounded by electric guitar, bass and drums he was a refreshing amalgamation of Elvis Costello, Buddy Holly and Willie Nelson. He's a heartland rocker buoyed by roots pop and country-punk. "Out of Love," one of the tracks on his fine new disc The Dreamer, worked particularly well with all cylinders grinding. Acoustically he delivered memorable takes on "I Need to Know Where I Stand" from 2009′s beguiling Rhett Miller, "Question," the Old 97′s tune he later recorded for one of his solo albums, "Lost Without You," another cut from The Dreamer, and a impassioned cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" he sang as a duet with CF Concert Series host Gordon Keith of 1310 The Ticket.
That acoustic portion underscored a couple of facts: Miller has come a long way from the early days of Old 97′s as a local garage band. His singing and songwriting are mature without ever losing that youthful spirit. Plus, his is an unbridled musicianship that simply cannot be contained in the limited acoustic setting. This guy was meant to ride the wave of crashing drums, stinging electric guitars and thumping basses. He's got that band frontman nervous tic that doesn't abate until the lights go down.
Similarly, Taylor Young and John Pedigo, collectively known as the O's, both relish the adoration of the spotlight. They are bonafide hams onstage unable to resist a joke or sly remark. Musically, they are the equivalent of two frontmen trading vocals and complimenting each other on the instruments. Between the two they play drums (well, one kick drum actually), acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica and Lowebro lap steel. The O's bluegrass pop sound, for lack of a better term, is unlike anything you've ever heard. These guys made plenty of noise during "In Numbers We Survive" and "Tryin' to Have a Good Time," a couple of choice originals, as well as during a cover of the Everly Brothers' "Bowling Green."
For those of you salivating for new O's music, I include myself in that bunch, Young promised that it's on the way. There should be a third O's album in early 2013. Miller, who re-emerged onstage during the Gourds' stint to perform "Timebomb" and a cover of David Bowie's "All the Young Dudes," is fast approaching the 20-year mark with the Old 97′s. His band, one of the pioneering alt-country outfits in the early '90s, is a local institution. One can say the same about Miller.

Dogs are susceptible to infections just like most other animals, but a particular fungal infection, called aspergillosis in dogs, is a relatively common issue that can be very debilitating to canines.
This infection is caused by aspergillus, a common species of mold that can be found in dust, grass clippings and hay. Any dog who spends a lot of time outdoors may pick up this fungus. PetMD.com reports that young dogs with medium length or longer noses and head are more susceptible to the nasal form of this infection.
Dogs most often acquire aspergillosis through their nasal passages - when they have direct contact with the fungus to their noses. For instance, your canine might introduce the fungus into his nose from sniffing a pile of grass. The fungus can cause clinical signs like nasal discharge and noisy breathing when the dog inhales. Many times the dark skin of the nose will become lighter in color from the chronic nasal discharge. Aspergillus can also cause swellings on the face often between the eyes or around the nose.
According to VCA Animal Hospitals, aspergillus is an "opportunistic pathogen," which means it takes any opportunity it can get to spread. In dogs, an opportunity means a suppressed immune system. When your dog's immune system is weak, the infection will take hold, which is why it is important to keep your canine healthy at all times. Aspergillus is capable of starting in the respiratory system and then disseminating or spreading throughout the body.
Depending on whether your dog's infection is nasal or throughout the body, your veterinarian will need to perform several diagnostic tests in order to get a diagnosis of Aspergillosis in dogs. Treatment may involve antifungal medications directly into the nose or given orally depending on the form of this disease your dog has.
