A Sky of Stars: Penang Shines as a Sporting State
There's her flair for the game, and then there are the endless hours of training, six days a week. There is no short cut to becoming the world's most decorated player.
Nicol David, Queen of Squash
Mention squash and Datuk Nicol David comes to mind for most of us. The longest reigning world No. 1 (a whopping 108 consecutive months!) until September last year, since turning professional in 2000, Nicol shows no sign of slowing down.
While her prowess as a squash player speaks for itself, it is her character that shines through: former Felda United player Ndumba Makache commended Nicol's incredible humility while he was undergoing an intensive rehabilitation programme alongside her at the National Sports Institute (ISN) in February this year. "For a person who's achieved so much, she's very humble and down to earth, which was great to see," he says[1].
Arguably the most decorated player in the history of women's squash, Nicol attributes her ability to stay grounded in the face of international acclaim to her family, friends, as well as her supporters in Malaysia and abroad. "I'm just an athlete looking to achieve my full potential. When in Malaysia, the recognition I get is a real bonus. My friends and family remind me of where I come from, and their love transfers whenever I meet people," she says.
On top of that, Nicol's parents, Desmond and Ann Marie, are her sports heroes. "My dad used his knowledge of playing hockey, football and athletics to develop my potential in sports while my mum taught me to study and play sports without any expectations," she says. Most importantly, there was no pressure to perform: "They both told me that we should do our best, we can't do better than that. As long as we enjoy everything we do, nothing else matters."
Success Begins With Hard Work
Nicol's training regime is marked by long hard hours of practice under the tutelage of Australian Liz Irving, a renowned former squash player who held the No. 2 ranking back in 1988. Nicol, who was then just a fresh high school graduate, moved to Amsterdam with her parents' blessing to begin her training.
"My training instantly took a 360-degree turn and I went back the basics in order to develop the proper techniques, movements, tactics and strength to compete in international tours," says Nicol. Her training sessions consist of two to four hours of practice twice a day, six days a week. This regime, backed by Irving's professional experience, proved key to Nicol's ascent to the top of the squash world.
Nicol has come to regard Irving as her biggest influence. "She's a true mentor with the kindest heart. That has kept our working relationship the way it is until now, over 13 years," she fondly says.
Nicol has shown a remarkable ability to steer clear of the injuries that commonly plague professional players. She attributes this to her sports therapist, provided by the National Sports Institute of Malaysia, who travels with her to six to eight tournaments for pre-match preparation and post-match recovery. "I was also taught to rest well, train accordingly and listen to my body to give it the recovery it needs," she says.
Passion to Carry On
Shortly after becoming the first player to win the World Junior Championships twice in 1999 and 2001, Nicol embarked on a remarkable journey that would later make her the undisputed champion with a win percentage of 90.5% (304 wins, 32 losses). This includes winning eight World Open titles, six Asian Games gold medals and, most notably, holding on to the No. 1 spot for a record nine years, beating New Zealand's Susan Devoy's record of 105 months[2].
However, Nicol's highly illustrious career has not been without heartbreaks. Last year proved to be a tough one for the "Queen of Squash" when she lost her No. 1 ranking to Raneem El Welily in September, sending shockwaves across Malaysia. Two months later, Nicol failed to retain her Qatar Classic title against Egypt's Nour El-Sherbini, signifying the fifth consecutive time she has failed to advance into the finals of a major tournament.
Now I have better appreciation for all that I've achieved and I'll compete with a full perspective and approach towards reaching my best performance each time I step into the court.
While facing tough competition from El Welily and Laura Massaro, she also lists up-and-coming talents as competitors; younger players are getting into the top 10, particularly Egyptian players who have taken the level of uncertainty in winning major titles a notch higher by dominating half of the top 20 list. "This uncertainty has always been there and nothing actually changes," Nicol concedes. "It's all a matter of what goes on at the tournament."
Bid for the Olympics
Ever since picking up squash at the tender age of eight, Nicol's thirst for raising the bar for the sport has not abated. It was therefore no surprise when she announced that she would campaign hard for squash to be included in the Olympics games, going as far as to say that she would willingly trade her eight World Open titles for a gold Olympic medal[3].
As the campaign gained momentum, more prominent athletes joined in as well. Personalities such as Roger Federer and Malaysia's Datuk Lee Chong Wei lent their support to its cause. The bid failed for the London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympics, but it was the failure to get it into the Tokyo 2020 Olympics that was disheartening. Squash was again rejected, this time on the grounds that it was neither spectator-friendly nor economical[4].
Though disappointed, Nicol firmly believes that squash deserves a spot in the Olympics. "It's unfortunate that we've missed out on the Olympic Games, but huge steps have also been made especially in the area of spectator viewership and the high quality of broadcasting and reach around the world."
Beyond Sports
Ever since 2002, Nicol has been the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Malaysia, an offshoot organisation under the UN which tackles social issues ranging from poverty to youth development.
"My role in the UNDP is to create awareness about current global issues that Malaysia faces today by sharing the UNDP Millennium Development Goals through campaigns, social media activities and mission trips to rural areas." She plans to be involved in more projects whenever she's in Malaysia. "I hope to reach out to more youths and give them a chance to address these issues themselves."

Originally posted on Angelswin | Last updated 3/12/13
By Robert Cunningham, AngelsWin.com Staff Writer -- 2013 Outlook: So clearly Joe Blanton isn't the "Big Splash" that everyone was thinking of when the Angels acquired a pitcher during the offseason. No one is here to argue that. However, like Hanson, Joe could prove to be a "Value Splash" based on a recent history (since 2010) of increased strikeouts, with the addition of a cutter to his repetoire. If you take a glance at Joe's numbers from 2010 until now, you'll notice a) his strikeout rate has significantly increased over his career numbers, b) his walk rate has declined significantly over his career numbers, c) his xFIP has decreased significantly over his career numbers, and d) his BABIP has been above his career average. What does all of this indicate? Upon examination everything points to the cut fastball Blanton has added to his arsenal. The king of the cutter, Mariano Rivera, has used this pitch successfully to tally high K/9 rates and that helps to explain Blanton...

Trash Collection company decided on
Decision made on keeping convenience centers open through June
Post Date: 01/09/2017 10:45 AM
The Newton County Solid Waste Authority is working toward finalizing a contract with Advanced Disposal Inc. that would not only provide waste collection for county residents but also keep open and provide operation for the trash collection convenience centers through June 30.
The unanimous decision to move forward with Advanced Disposal for solid waste collection throughout the county was made by the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) during its meeting Thursday evening at the Newton County Historic Courthouse.
As part of the contract, still to be finalized by the SWA, Advanced Disposal will provide several services, on a voluntary basis, to Newton County.
Those services are:
- Curbside pickup (MSW) for unincorporated areas (not mandatory)
- Provide a 96-gallon cart users for one-day-a-week pickup.
- Provide same-day pickup for large items (bulk waste)
- Have special pickup available for elderly/disabled
- Operate convenience centers through June 2017
Other services will be available to Newton County residents for an additional charge, if desired.
The SWA put out bids for collection service companies around a year ago, and a committee consisting of authority members Lanier Sims, Ronnie Johnston (who was absent from Thursday's meeting) and Wayne Haynie selected Advanced Disposal from three collection companies. According to Haynie, Advanced Disposal was the company that best matched criteria set out by the selection committee and had the lowest bid.
"Advanced is a firm that is well known in the solid waste business," Haynie said. "They are fairly local in that they operate in surrounding counties and some in Newton County. They also had the most advantageous price for Newton County."
User fees for curbside pickup are yet to be determined, but Haynie estimated cost would be somewhere around $18-20 (per month). The SWA will review the contract with Advanced Disposal and work on finalizing a cost for curbside pickup.
An agreement with Advanced Disposal would mark the first time the county entered into a contract with a curbside pickup company.
For years, Newton County has provided residents with 11 trash convenience collection centers for waste disposal at no additional charge. During this past summer's budgeting process, the Newton County Board of Commissioners (BOC) voted to charge residents for use of the convenience centers through six months and then close the centers for the other half of the fiscal year.
The actions, which included a $50 fee for the centers that went into effect in October, were meant to balance the 2017 fiscal year budget which had a shortfall of around $2 million before the BOC's vote.
In order to provide proof of payment for use of the centers, the BOC created vehicle hang tags. The tags featured an expiration date of June 30. That is the date the SWA, which took over operation of all solid waste operations shortly after the BOC created the tags, used in its most recent expansion of trash convenience collection center operations.
Recycling Centers
Effective November 1, 2015: Tires are no longer accepted at Newton County Neighborhood Recycling Centers. Please take them to the landfill (located at 205 Lower River Rd., Covington, 30016) and be prepared to pay a disposal fee of $2 to $7 per tire, depending on the size of the tire.

Jessica White
Beauty and determination
Jessica White's story is amazing, she got to the top with a big dose of determination and hard work. She's young, self-confident, with an incredible career behind. She told us about her hidden side and about her future projects
About her
Jessica White is an American model from IMG agency; she was born in Buffalo on June 22nd 1984. She lives in New York.
Scouted at the age of 15 in her native Buffalo, she then moved to New York at 16, to follow her dream. Since then, an ever ascending career. "I've done so many things, that I can't recall them all." At 26, with already 13 years of career behind, Jessica posed for the most important fashion magazines in the world, modeled for big fashion brands, and was the face of beauty products ads.
Determination and hard work
When she met Tyra Banks at 16 her life changed and she thought "I'd like to be like Tyra Banks." Therefore she decided to pursue her professional career in the world of fashion. And Jessica has fulfilled her dreams. She often says she was lucky, but she also admits she has worked hard and committed herself. "I was very determined."
The future
She has many future professional projects: a book, a perfume, and a dream of producing a film.
Jessica is very committed for her foundation Angel Wings, which supports young women who are victims of abuses. "I'd like to give people the hope and help I didn't have, and that I had to learn by myself."
Not everyone knows that
Jessica never starts her day without taking a moment of solitude to read her journal or poetry.
Her hair
"My hair is my protection". With perfect hair, Jessica feels beautiful.
She has 17 tattoos, which are a testimony of her "gothic girl" and punk-rock past.
Her Passions/1
She says she has the same passions any other girl has: like bowling or family barbecues.
Her Passions/2
Jessica's wildest side emerges with her borderline passions: like bungee jumping, that she practices every year.
Her beauty secret
"I drink a lot of water", she says, "and I try to purify my skin and body". Furthermore, as she has to wear a lot of makeup for work, when she doesn't work she usually prefers keeping her skin really clear.
Resurrection in New York. That's a vintage clothing and accessories store, Jessica's favorite. She is attracted to the allure of timeless clothing, which has the extraordinary capacity of renovating itself without following trends.
She says about herself
"I was very lucky."

I have a problem with the installation of Adobe Reader version 11. With vesion 10 everything worked well.
I downloaded the MUI client from Adobe "AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std.zip" and created a MST file with the wirzard. The setup does not install the locale folder with the additional language files when I'm using silent paramter like qn/qb/qr. There are also missing other language files(filesname are same but the have another extension like .DEU for German) in other folder.
Only when I run the setup interactive this folder will be created. I tried this with and without an MST file always the same result.
Does anybody had the same problem and may a solution?
Hi all, someone got a solution for the Language Bug? The offical Adobe solutions like interactive setup and /sAll command line switch do not work....
I've got the same Problem and I wanted to keep it simple:
Prereqs:AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std.zip and CustWiz11003_en_US.exe
1. Unzip AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std.zip
2. Do an administrative install with acroread.msi from unzipped Archive to any Folder you
3. Copy Setup.ini from unzipped Archive to your just created Folder of admin ibnstall
(CustWiz will Need it to create mst)
4. Start CustWiz make your changes and create a mst (thinking it will work but it wouldn't)
The trick is to overwrite everything under locale with the data you've created with the
administrative install under locale (see answer from H4xX02Z)
5. When done create your mst (Do not save to msi just create mst)
6. Start install with msiexec /i TRANSFORMS=Your.mst /qn => done
( Result: Folder "locale" is installed correctly and AdobeReader uses OS-locale)
Hope I could help

I think I solved the problem.
I had the same problem like you. The "locale" folder didn't install, so only english was available.
I install the Adobe Reader 11 MUI normaly (not in the silent mode) and choose another language as english.
After the installation I found the "locale" folder in the Programmfolder of Adobe Reader.
I copied the locale folder into the Customitization Wizard an overwrote all files.
Then I install the created setup and i works.
Good Luck
I got this working by using the direct editor in ACW and adding the property LANG_LIST with value en_US,ca_ES,eu_ES,bg_BG,zh_CN,zh_TW,cs_CZ,da_DK,de_DE,es_ES,et_ET,fr_FR,hr_HR,hu_HU,it_IT,ja_JP,ko_KR,lt_LT,lv_LV,nl_NL,nb_NO,pl_PL,pt_BR,ro_RO,ru_RU,sk_SK,sl_SI,fi_FI,sv_SE,tr_TR,uk_UA
You can probably remove not needed languages.
For some reason the property LANG_LIST is removed when you create a transform with ACW, the property LANG_LIST exists in the MSI.
Thanks, worked here!
You do not need to edit it directly.
You can edit setup.ini file (available only in Adobe Reader MUI *.exe, you need to extract the exe to see the setup.exe, AdbeReader.msi and setup.ini inside it) and in CmdLine (at [Product] section) and add LANG_LIST="en_US,ca_ES[...]tr_TR,uk_UA". (languages that you want to support).
My setup.ini file (Install Adobe Reader showing only progress. Apply 11.0.6 update at install. Install all languages (it will use the actual language of the system). Used Customization Wizard to create AcroReader.mst with custom settings (Disable EULA, Disable Product Updates, and more). Hope it helps someone):

[MSI Updater]
Hi guys!
Do You have any resolve for this issue?
I have the same problem right now and have no idea haw to resolve it.
Yes, install the setup at a client. After that you have to import the folder "Locale" in the wizard to add the missing files. The MST is much bigger than before but it works after that.
Try to use the AdbeRdrSD11000_all.msi instead. If you are not going to use the setup.exe during the installation and decides to use the MSI instead on your current media, it will be installed in English by default. You can later install the updates like AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp which will be like a MUI pack. Hope this helps.
AdbeRdrSD11000_all.msi is the "Adobe Reader XI Spelling Dictionary Pack". It does not install the languages just the additional spelling files.
Ok. Are you not going to use one of the MUI packs like AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp? That one I am sure has all the language you need.
But if you don't have a choice but to use the setup.exe, just pass the arguments to Windows Installer and see, http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/isxhelp12/IHelpSetup_EXECmdLine.htm.
What I do to achieve a multilingual package is this:
1. Use the base MSI and slipstream with MUI patches.
2. Create MST using ACW.
3. Finalize the package using ORCA or Wise.
4. Adobe Reader with MUI packs - Done!
As I know the msp are patch files. Which mean base installation with msi and quarter or out of circle patches via MSP. I'm I wrong with that?!
Adobe has just updated their website and they now have a better look compared before so it will be very easy to find what you need now. All you have to do is take some time to read it.
Here is the formula for my AIP taken from: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/aip.html
Acrobat pattern formula: Base release + latest quarterly + latest out of cycle patch)
Acceptable: 11.0.0 > 11.0.01 (Q) > 11.0.02 (OOC)
Acceptable: 11.0.0 > 11.0.03 (Q)
Reader pattern formula: Last MSI + latest quarterly + latest out of cycle patch)
Acceptable: 11.0.0 > 11.0.01 (Q) > 11.0.02 (OOC)
Acceptable: 11.0.0 > 11.0.03 (Q)
Yes sure I created the cumtomizing with the adobe wizard XI. But there are not really options for the language. If you select silent installation you just can select one instalaltion language but the other languages should be available. When you install it interactiv there are no options but you have all languages available.
When you just customize the reader then there is no graphical interface for the features, just the MSI tables. I tried to modify them but without success.
Same problem here. Maybe this http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Wizard/installoptions.html#silent-install-bug indicates a current bug also for Adobe Reader? I tried the solution there but it didn't work: Still no "locale"-Folder after installation.
Yes this seems to be the same problem in Adobe Reader installation. I also had no luck with the "setup.exe /sAll".

Houston Nursing Home Negligence Attorney
Houston Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer
You have heard the horror stories: elderly men and women entrusted to the care of nursing home personnel who neglect their duties when no one is watching. In fact, maybe your mother or father is the victim of such nursing home negligence.
If this is the case, you cannot just sit back and watch it happen. You need to call us right now at 800-298-0111 and enlist the aid of a lawyer to protect your parent's rights!
How Can You Be Certain Nursing Home Negligence is Taking Place?
While it is sometimes difficult to be 100% certain that nursing home negligence is taking place, there are clues that can tip you off. If you are concerned that your relative is the victim of such negligence, keep an eye out for:
- Unexplained weight loss — Is your parent inexplicably losing weight? If so, there is a chance that the nursing home caregivers are not properly feeding them.
- Dehydration — Your elderly relative's hydration is a basic responsibility of the nursing home staff. Failing to stay hydrated can result in serious medical complications and can be grounds for a nursing home neglect lawsuit.
- Bed sores — Your parent should not have bed sores (ubiquitous ulcers) Period. If they do, someone is not properly tending to their needs.
- Unsanitary conditions — Is your mother obviously unbathed? Are her sheets or clothing soiled? If so, she may be the victim of neglect. Sure accidents occur, but if this is a recurring theme, you need to call Simmons and Fletcher.
- Public desertion — Was your parent left alone by a nursing home aide in a public place? This is an obvious endangerment and possible grounds for a neglect suit.
- Broken bones — Physical abuse by caregivers happens. If you see this, call us immediately.
If you see any of the above signs, document them and contact us to speak to a nursing home negligence lawyer immediately.
How Should Your Nursing Home Neglect Claim Be Handled?
Once you have decided to something just is not right and that you need to make a move, the attorney you contact should:
- Offer you a free consultation to discuss the details of your case — Never pay for your first meeting. Instead, choose an attorney that offers a no-obligation, no-cost consultation to discuss if you have a legitimate case.
- Operate on a contingency basis — What this means is quite simple. If your lawyer fails to win your case, your lawyer does not receive payment. Only after you obtain compensation will your lawyer get paid. What do you have to lose?
Contact Simmons and Fletcher, P.C., Today
If you think you have a legitimate claim, we can help. Finding a medical malpractice lawyer in Texas can be difficult due to the changes in the law passed under the banner of tort reform. Caps on damages and strict requirements in the law can make handling these cases challenging. At Simmons and Fletcher, P.C., if your case is one in which we cannot assist you, we will try to help you find a health care liability claim lawyer that handles your type of case. As a result, some cases are likely to be referred to another attorney for handling with the client's permission.

2) James Cameron was right. The trees are connected through an underground web. They do talk to each other. Here's a great TED talk explaining this complex system.
3) "Lack of sleep can negatively affect memory, emotional processing and attentional capacities. For example, sleep deprivation has been shown to disrupt functional connectivity in hippocampal circuits (important for memory), and between the amygdala (important for emotion regulation) and executive control regions (involved in processes such as attention, planning, reasoning and cognitive flexibility)."
4) Turn your phone screen black and white to break the addiction. "Emotions and attention are tied to color perception, so what if everyone removed the color from their phones? "
5) Keep earning your title. A great read from Derek Sivers. This is why I'm skeptical of taking advice from "clinicians" that don't have a current practice.

Mother Hutton
Mother Hutton was an 18th-century British pharmacist and herbalist responsible for the discovery of digitalis and its essential use in the curing of heart problems.[1]
She is sometimes referred to as Mrs. Hutton, Old mother Hutton and "the old woman from Shropshire".[2] As her last name alludes, she hailed from Shropshire, England.[3] She was a successful practitioner of general medicine but became most famous for her ability to treat heart disease, kidney troubles and dropsy.[1] She discovered the usefulness of the foxglove plant (Digitalis purpura) in treating the above.[1] She experimented with the foxglove until she worked it out to a science.[1] She added it and a variety of other herbs to a specially brewed tea, which she gave out as a remedy to those who needed it.[2]
One of her most famous success stories was with the Dean of Brazen Nose College of Oxford University, Dr. Cauley in 1776.[4] He came to her with a severe case of Dropsy which was a condition in which liquid built up in the tissue due to an inability of the heart and kidneys to remove it.[4] During the 18th century this was considered a fatal disease.[4] She successfully cured him.
William Withering heard of this successful case and started to pursue Mother Hutton in order to find out the ingredients of her secret tea recipe.[1] In 1785 he persuaded her to sell it to him and upon discovering that it was the foxglove which was the key, he published a paper called An Account of the Foxglove and Some of Its Medical Uses which has ever since, caused his name to be associated with the discovery of digitalis as opposed to hers.[1]
In reality 'Mother Hutton' was created in 1928 in an illustration by William Meade Prince as part of an advertising campaign by Parke-Davis who marketed Digitalis preparations. There is no mention of a Mother Hutton in Withering's works and no mention of him meeting any old woman directly - he is merely asked to comment on an old woman's receipt (Recipe) by a colleague. Since 1928, Mother Hutton's status has grown from being an image in an advertising poster to an acclaimed Wise Woman, Herbalist, Pharmacist and Medical Practitioner in Shropshire who was cheated out of her true recognition by Dr. Withering's unscrupulous methods. Withering was in fact informed of the Brazen Nose College case by one of his medical colleagues (and the Dean was treated with Digitalis Root not Leaves) . This myth has been created by authors not going back to primary sources but instead copying and then embellishing the work of others. See "Withering and The Foxglove; the making of a myth" by D.M. Krikler Br Heart J 1985 54: 256-257.

Alfred A. Knopf, 2012
Humans aren't the only ones to suffer from eating disorders, heart disease, addictions and many other ailments. In Zoobiquity, cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and journalist Kathryn Bowers examine the range of diseases and conditions that commonly afflict both people and other animals, including dogs.
Horowitz's revelation that species-spanning commonalities exist was sparked when she was called to the LA Zoo to help a female Emperor tamarin (an adorable South American monkey) who was experiencing heart failure. She thought that making eye contact and cooing to her tiny patient was the best way to comfort her. Then a vet stepped in and warned her against doing that, telling her she might inadvertently kill the small primate by inducing "capture myopathy."
Horowitz wasn't familiar with the term, but quickly learned that this fatal condition can develop when an animal is caught by a predator and experiences a sudden surge of a stress hormone. Unfortunately, this reaction can also be triggered when an animal is held, stared and cooed at by a heart specialist! The eureka moment came when she recognized a connection between capture myopathy and a human cardiac condition, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (broken-heart syndrome), which can be brought on by a variety of "intense, painful emotions … [that] set off life-threatening physical changes in the heart." She was surprised to realize that a phenomenon veterinarians had known about for decades hadn't been identified in humans until 2000. So she set out to see if other human diseases had counterparts in the animal kingdom. She began her inquiry by posing the simple question: "Do animals get [fill in the disease]?"
In each chapter, a human disease or disorder is described and then the animal counterpart is presented. They start by looking at fainting, something that one-third of adults have done at least once in their lives. By questioning vets, they found that dogs also experience "vasovagal syncope"—i.e., faint—in response to everyday activities "like barking and jumping … some canines faint when they're aroused to sudden activity after being at rest." And like us, some dogs faint when faced with a needle. In both cases, the reason has to do with a "fight or flight" response in which blood pressure rapidly decreases. In turn, the brain "shuts the system down by fainting."
In the chapter "Grooming Gone Wild," they look at human self-injurers (including Princess Diana and Colin Farrell) and compare them with dogs who obsessively lick and gnaw at their bodies in almost in trancelike state. It has been found that some compulsive behaviors in dogs, like this one, are genetically based. Whether OCD in humans and the canine equivalent (CCD) are the same disorder is something that has yet to be determined, but Horowitz puts forth a compelling case for a connection.
This book also gave me many insights, including why dogs thrive on reward-based training. It all has to do with neurocircuitry, which, we learn, is similar in most species, including our own. Basically, this system rewards fitness-promoting behaviors, such as foraging, hunting, "interacting with kin and peers," mating, escape—behaviors that increase species survival. The authors characterize the rewards as a "chemical-dispensing apparatus stocked with tiny capsules of natural narcotics" such as opioids, cannabinoids, dopamine, oxytocin, and many others. As the authors note, accessing these chemicals is one of the most "potent motivators in animals, including us." Even slugs have a dopaminergic system that controls the search and consumption of food. As animal expert Gary Wilson explains, "External treats in the form of food and congratulatory sounds are, in effect, bridges to the animal's brain." Simply put, good dog training is "driven by pleasure circuits." Positive, reward-based learning is more effective than dominance- or coercive-based methods because it's in tune with the way we and our dogs are wired.
This is a truly fascinating look at the similarities between us and other animals. We are not alone in our experience of a spectrum of physical and emotional disorders—among them, chlamydia, depression, bullying and risk-taking among adolescents. The list is long, and exploring it makes for engrossing and enlightening reading.

Book Review
Jennifer Arnold believes in dogs, and that the opportunity to engage in relationships with them is a gift. In order to realize the full potential of that gift, she asks a crucial question: "What do dogs want and need … and why does it behoove us to give it to them?" She then proceeds to answer it with chapters on canine health, safety, training and bonding, among other topics. Like her first book, Through a Dog's Eyes, this one is something of a grab bag of information, but one well worth reading for its gentle, good-natured guidance and insights garnered from two decades spent raising and training service dogs for Canine Assistants.

Book Review
Rex, a small German Shepherd at the heart of Mike Dowling's new memoir, Sergeant Rex, ranks as the longestserving military working dog (MWD) in the Marine Corps. In this thoughtful account of their shared tour of duty in Iraq in 2004, Dowling shows Rex to be impressively brave, competent, even funny in the way only a dog can be. But canine courage is an old saw. Dowling is neither the first soldier to write well about dogs in the Middle East — pick up Royal Marine Pen Farthing's moving bestseller, One Dog at a Time, which covers his rescue efforts for the strays of Afghanistan — nor the first to venerate the canines of combat. (William Putney's Always Faithful and Lisa Rogak's The Dogs of War are the standard- bearers in this department.)
What's confounding and original about Mike Dowling's narrative is how genuinely he writes about protecting Rex, all the while embroiling him in situations of brute violence and deadly risk. Deployed as one of the first 12 Marine dog teams embedded with infantry units since the Vietnam War, Rex and Dowling were successful in their assignment to sniff out IEDs (improvised explosive devices, or bombs). Rex alone unearthed hundreds of caches.
This track record no doubt contributed to a Pentagon task force's conclusion that MWDs are better bomb detectors than any military technology, by far. The armed forces have taken note MWDs on active duty rose from 1,800 in 2001 to 2,700 in 2011, with about 500 dogs being trained each year. With their unparalleled sense of smell, dogs are functionally suited to the task. Physically and mentally, however, they experience some of the same maladies as their human counterparts. Though the military does not make statistics readily available, dogs are also suffering from a canine form of PTSD and traumatic injury, as well as dying in considerable numbers. So when Dowling "speaks" for Rex through italicized interjections of die-hard zeal and ooh-rah patriotism on missions in the most dangerous areas in and around Fallujah and Baghdad, it's difficult to believe his assertions that he has the dog's best interest in mind. After all, every dog in the military is drafted without consent.
Dowling, a voluntary soldier, writes about the U.S. military cause with pure enthusiasm. A capable dog handler, he nurtures Rex's skills. He loves this dog, and cares for him with unassailable constancy. That much is apparent. But Dowling conflates Rex's interest in doing the job before him (for the reward of a game of ball) with a conceptual allegiance to the American values these soldiers are defending. In one harrowing scene, Dowling brings Rex, who is already injured, along on a mission anyway. "A barrage of blasts" rattles their vehicle and "Rex goes jittery as hell. He keeps glancing at me with a look of real pain on his features." In another scene, Rex fixes his protector with "a lonely, frightened gaze, like he's convinced he's been abandoned." In yet another, Rex urinates out of fear. No matter how faithfully allied Dowling is with his dog in combat, these scenes are nevertheless excruciating for an animal lover to read.
Early in the book, Dowling reflects on setting out for their first mission. "Rex trusted me 100 percent, in that unique bond between man and dog. Yet he had no choice in my taking us to war, and he had no idea of the dangers we were flying into." Everything Rex accomplishes, everything he survives — Dowling is right: Rex does deserve a Purple Heart for his courage. And Dowling deserves the acknowledgment he has earned too. But a medal for military service would mean nothing to a dog. He would not understand why he was receiving it.

This is a truly lovely book, both in its writing and illustrations, about the love between a little girl and the "best hound dog in the world." It is also a story about the death of a dog, written in a clear, non-sentimental way that makes it an appropriate choice for the introduction of this difficult topic to a young reader (actually, it's suitable for a reader of any age). The illustrations beautifully express the joy that a dog's friendship brings, and the poignancy of memories that will last forever. This is a rare achievement in a children's book.

A second book from influential behaviorist and trainer Pamela Reid, Dog InSight brings together more than 40 essays on canine behavior, techniques to modify it and the principles behind both. Originally published as monthly columns in Dogs in Canada magazine, the chapters in this book cover key tricks of the trade, such as calming signals, social learning and operant conditioning. Typical problems are handily addressed — excessive barking, resource guarding and separation anxiety, for example. Readers will benefit from the technique explanations; understanding why a given cue works helps independent trainers go much further with their dogs. Particularly poignant (and rare for a training book) is the final chapter on easing the pain of loss, in which Reid suggests rites of passage for dogs in their last days, as well as tributes to those we have lost.

The bold strokes of today's young-adult lit
Imagine star-crossed lovers of old would blush and faint before indulging in the kind of libidinal excess that courses through young-adult novels these days. But Paul Griffin knows better than all that. An award-winning novelist who also trains dogs and works with incarcerated young people, Griffin has penned a highly praised new book, Stay with Me, that celebrates the drama, heartbreak and fragile sensuality of today's accelerated teenage life.
Stay with Me recounts the tragic fate of a sweet rescued fighting dog named Boo and her unlikely caretakers, two 15-year-old lovers hamstrung by burdensome disadvantages. Mack Morse, an abandoned, then abused high-school dropout, has a rap sheet and a special knack with dogs. He also struggles with violent thoughts that manifest as a hissing in his head, "like when you roll the radio to static and dial up the volume."
The only remedy? You guessed it his coworker —bright, comely and selfdeprecating Céce Vaccuccia, who studies assiduously and parents her own mother, Carmella, whom she describes with characteristic teenage sarcasm as a "never-married, twice-knocked-up and ditched alcoholic with crippling bunions."
While each of these facts may be true about Carmella, and the judgment behind them heartfelt, there's no doubt that Céce loves her mother. This is much the same for all of Griffin's characters. We are drawn into the oppressive grind of their lives; their words are sharp and their fates are grim, but their essential moral fiber withstands the wear and tear of their preventable, regrettable mistakes. These are, despite their deplorable decisions and even heinous acts, good people.
Mack compels Céce — scarred by a dog attack during childhood — to befriend his dog, Boo. "You've got to go a long way into evil to turn a Pit against people," says Mack. "They forgive easy as rain falls." And so, in turn, does Céce. The magic of love's force transports the couple to a new and terribly temporary happiness. But when Boo suffers brutal violence yet again, Céce is nowhere to be found and Mack acts on an aggressive impulse, destroying any prospects for their future together.
While Mack's character develops and deepens as a result of his poor choices, Céce's prospects wither following his withdrawal. But her world is open now to the solace of a loyal dog, something she would never have had without learning to trust Boo, and the heedless abandon she experienced with Mack.

Now it is summer and its long, warm days have arrived, we hope to catch up on our reading. To encourage you to do the same, we've compiled a roster of some of our favorites from the classic shelves, as well as some newer ones.
Man Meets Dog was first published fifty years ago, becoming a classic that every dog lover should read‹a slim, witty volume by the Nobel Prize-winning scientist, Konrad Lorenz. It was the first to delve into the canine mind and also launched the debate to what extend do its wolf ancestors affect modern dog behavior.
The Hidden Life of Dogs is a book made famous for the number of miles that Elizabeth Marshall Thomas clocked while tracking a Husky on his daily forays in her anthropological quest to answer, "What do dogs really want?" It is an enthralling account that brings a fresh understanding to the emotional lives of dogs.
Somewhere along the path of evolution two distinct animal species made the choice to "cooperate not to compete." In The Animal Attraction Dr. Jonica Newby, an Australian veterinarian, poses the more fascinating question "If we didn¹t link up with dogs, where would we be today?" Her answers about our co-evolution are both surprising and wildly entertaining.
In Dog Sense, animal behaviorist John Bradshaw outlines what we can expect from our co-pilots as well as what they need to live harmoniously with us. Ultimately, this is what makes the book so appealing. He does more than simply lay out interesting theories; he uses science to advocate for a better life for companion dogs.
Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz is a fascinating journey into the dog's rich sensory world, providing valuable insights into what it's like to be a dog. If you think you know your dog, think again. Horowitz peels away the layers of pre-conceived notions and gets to the core of canine-ness to reveal that Canis familiaris is anything but familiar.
Dog's Best Friend by Mark Derr who writes about the "culture of the dog" like no one else‹he goes well beyond the in's and out's of breeding and training examining all aspects about what makes our relationship to dogs tick.
Scent of the Missing by Susannah Charleson. A fascinating memoir of the adventures of a Search and Rescue pup and how both she and her human partner mastered the course together.
In Dog Years, poet Mark Doty recounts how two dogs rescued and supported him during a time of deep grief. A tender, amusing and insightful reflection on the bond with have with animals.
The Proof is in the Poodle by Donna Kelleher, a holistic vet who has written a thoughtful and sensitive exploration of the ways we help out animals heal—physically, emotionally and spiritually. (2012,Two Harbors Press)
Garth Stein's novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain, is a beautifully crafted tale of the wonders and absurdities of human life as only a dog could describe them.
Rick Bass's Colter: The True Story of the Best Dog I Ever Had is a gorgeously written memoir about a remarkable "brown" dog who possessed a genius for the hunt. It is also a powerful contemplation about the natural world and how a dog can unveil its secrets to us, if only we are wise enough to watch and listen.
Donald McCaig's Eminent Dogs: Dangerous Men is a book about the fascinating world of sheepherding and Border Collies and how the history of these dogs is infused by character of the people who admire then and who "partner" with them. Part memoir, travelogue, and part investigation into one of the oldest alliances mankind has struck with canines.
Dog Walks Man, a collection of humorous and absorbing essays by John Zeaman, conveys how the routine act of dog-walking can connect us to the joys of the nature.
Pack of Two: The Intricate Bond Between People and Dogs by Carolyn Knapp is the seminal book about, as its subtitle proclaims, the bond between people and dogs. A must read for all dog people—affirming that we aren't alone in our dog-centricity. Knapp explored why dogs matter to us and concludes that we love them for themselves—for their very otherness and dogginess.
My Dog Tulip by J.R. Ackerley. This book is a lovely, unsentimental and very moving biography of a dog, an Alsatian female named Tulip. Ackerley is charmed and fascinated by her and his descriptions about her behavior and habits are among the more tender "love" stories ever.
Lee Harrington's Rex in the City is the modern day story about how a young couple learned about the challenges of adopting an abused, untrained dog and bringing him up in a small NYC apartment. The author shares both her pains and her joys of their life with a troubled dog. But readers will be reminded—in a delightful way—that love does indeed conquer all.
Patricia McConnell, PhD, CAAB, has written a shelf-load of books in which she decodes the mysteries of canine behavior. Two we particularly like are The Other End of the Leash, which focuses on why we behave as we do around our dogs and how it affects them, and (with Karen London, PhD), Love Has No Age Limit, a much-needed primer on adopting an adult dog.
If you've wondered vets do day-to-day, read veterinary surgeon Nick Trout's Tell Me Where It Hurts and Love Is the Best Medicine and get clued in.
David Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter is a reluctant attorney whose real passions are dog rescue and his Golden Retriever, Tara. One Dog Night is the most recent entry.
In Spencer Quinn's "Chet and Bernie" mysteries, narrated by Chet the dog, comments on the way dogs see the world ring true (and will make you smile). The fifth book, A Fist Full of Collars, is due out in September.
Our long-time favorite, Susan Conant, released a new "Holly Winter" mystery earlier this year, thank goodness; Brute Strength is number 19 in the series featuring the Malamute-loving dog writer and, of course, her favorite dogs.

We Give Our Hearts to Dogs to Tear is not your typical, heartwarming dog story. Yes, there are heartwarming passages aplenty. But this book is also full of heart-stopping tragedy. That's because the author and his human and animal family, including an assortment of Jack Russell Terriers, live in the wild mountains of Montana. Beautiful and rugged, the land is full of dangers ranging from hungry coyotes, bears and mountain lions to crabby 30-pound badgers, snares left by fur trappers, and poison set out by ranchers for coyotes. This is the sort of setting where any dog can get into serious trouble. And no dog can get into trouble like a Jack Russell Terrier.
These 15-pound dogs think they're 10 feet tall, and immortal. They are fearless hunters. If you have or know a Jack Russell, you will have noticed that they consider what other dogs accept as commands to be mere suggestions. It's because they think they know more than you do, and they may be right. Although all exhibit the breed's typical intelligence, courage and energy, each is a uniquely complex, and often problematic, character. Chase's Nobie was "a bundle of exasperating eccentricities," whose "personality [had] more kinks than a corkscrew." Ifrit "had a limitless capacity for love," yet once, while playing, bit the author so hard he had to get a tetanus shot. Hobson was "sensitivity incarnate," but prone to anxiety attacks that sent him diving under the bed covers.
The author buys his first Jack Russell as a birthday present for his wife, Diana—by mistake. He thinks he heard her say she wanted one; she remembers saying nothing of the kind. The couple already had plenty of animals: among them, 11 horses, two wildcats, a Mastiff and a coyote. Neither of them had any idea that Jack Russells were small dogs, and no clue that they had such huge personalities. But as it turns out, the breed was a perfect match for the big-hearted, life-loving, risk-taking couple. Transplants from Minnesota, they're the sort of folks who, though perennially broke, fell in love with a dilapidated 3,000-acre Montana ranch that they knew was "too expensive, too primitive and too remote"—and promptly bought it.
Their Jack Russells are just as adventurous as they are. With a frenetic zest for life, these pint-sized dogs hunt ground squirrels, take out marmots and challenge badgers. They fall off rock ledges, collide with skunks, get quilled by porcupines and nearly drown in rushing rivers. Every day with the dogs, writes Chase, is "filled with love, play, empathy, anxiety, courage and near sudden death."
Too often, death catches up with them. Their first Jack Russell, Phineas, dies in agony in less than a year, poisoned. Another is killed by a badger. One dies young of liver disease. Others live to old age—but you'll cry when they die, too.
The deaths of these feisty dogs, as much as their lives, form the heart of the book. There are lots of great characters, moving descriptions of the land, discourses on the history of the Jack Russell and the dangers of breeding for appearance instead of performance. But these are incidental in the journey that is the book's narrative core: Chase is looking for immortality for his dogs. Aren't we all?
Because it's impossible not to fall in love with characters like Phineas and Ifrit, Truffle and Tigger, Panda and Bungee—especially after you see the black and white pictures—some readers will be angry that Chase chose to bring these fearless, trouble-prone dogs into the dangerous western wilderness. Chase tackles this issue head-on, like one of his dogs might seize a ground squirrel. A former professor of philosophy, Chase takes on some Big Questions: Who are our dogs? What sort of lives do we owe them? How do we honor their spirits? What is the soul? Where lies immortality?
Bereft again and again, Chase tries to find another Phineas. (He gets two Jack Russells the next time, for emotional insurance.) He tries to replicate Ifrit. (This also fails.) He visits breeders, seeking to reincarnate the spirit of Bungee. Of course, it doesn't work. But the vivid ghosts of Chase's dogs demonstrate that what does happen is another kind of immortality.
Surely one of the cruelest conditions of life on Earth is that dogs don't live as long as people. Yet, we "give our hearts to dogs to tear," as Rudyard Kipling writes in the poem that gave Chase the book's title. Yes, they tear our heart—but their indomitable, timeless spirits heal it again and again.

One would have to have a heart of stone not to be captivated by this bittersweet debut novel, now available in an American edition, in which Prince, a Labrador Retriever, narrates his heroic attempts to save his human family from the dangers that threaten their peace and security. That the novel in form is a reminiscence by Prince as he waits to be put down by his owner, who does not understand what Prince has done throughout to save the family from itself, testifies, of course, to the futility of his actions. But that this sad history is communicated to a younger Labrador as a cautionary tale in how best to perform as Labradors expect of themselves, turns it into a larger, tragicomic meditation on loyalty, sacrifice and the possibilities of idealism in a world of disillusionment and irresponsibility.
The situation is this: Originally obedient, the Springer Spaniels, having realized that humans can no longer take care of themselves and hence that the stability of their families cannot be taken for granted, no longer pay attention to humans' welfare or intervene on their behalf. They begin to slip their leads; they live for the moment and for themselves; they learn to sniff for pleasure rather than for purpose. The humans hardly notice—"Lamp posts were still being splashed. Crotches were still being sniffed."—and most of the breeds are quietly won over to the Springers' cause. Not so the Labradors, who institute a compact, based on the immutable principles of "duty over all," self-denial, non-violence and constant vigilance. To the extent that humans consider the breakdown of family bonds, they explain it through easy sociology: the demands of career, the secularization of Western society, unhealthy diet. But as usual in this novel, the dogs sniff out the problem all too well: Humans overly privilege one sense (sight), which too often makes them the victim of appearances; they don't understand their own nature, as part of Nature; they are afraid of aging and death; they can't come to terms with sex; and in general, think that with science, technology and culture, they can control desire and instinct. Relying on such apparatus, Haig suggests, makes humans lovable objects for Labradors' protective instincts, but teaches them nothing about themselves. And, sadly, it's the dogs who pay the price: Get too close to them and you'll get hurt, Prince is warned by a non-Lab; and so indeed he is.
This novel works as well as it does because of two writerly strategies. First, Haig's sensitive depiction of the Hunter family, who had rescued Prince as a pup from a shelter in a desperate attempt to shore up their own dissolving human relationships, wisely renders them neither evil nor psychopathic, even if disconcertingly typical and familiar in their failings. Adam, the father, irresolute and frustrated in both his career and marriage, becomes involved with a good-looking, ditzy aromatherapist. Kate, the mother, avoids marital intimacy through incessant housecleaning, but too easily acquiesces when her old lover reappears. Hal and Charlotte, the teenaged children, are predictably given over to rebellious acts with seedy friends. Prince knows how few internal resources this weak but finally sympathetic family can muster against threats from the outside. Second, Haig nicely complicates Prince's personality beyond that of a mere virtuous automaton: At night, Prince dreams of running wild with his ancestral wolves; at one point, he falls into a reverie, intoxicated by the delectable leaf juice, worm blood and squirrel droppings of the park's smell-heap. He later undergoes a profound crisis of belief when learning that his father figure, a Labrador named Henry, has morally compromised himself in blind adherence to the letter of the pact. Because Haig has made the moral choices complex, Prince's final self-denying commitment to an ideal that will never be realized is all the more nuanced and profound.
Similarly nuanced and largely successful is Haig's ingenious evocations of Shakespeare, specifically the two parts of Henry IV: "Prince," like Shakespeare's Prince Hal, will reject the temptations of the self-indulgent life represented by the Springer-spokesman "Falstaff," prove himself by defeating the traitor to the established order—appropriately named Simon "Hotspur"—and accept the values of his father-figure "Henry." Other allusions are less relevant (there is an impetuous Rottweiler named "Lear") or inappropriate ("Kate," the name by which Prince Hal addresses his French wife after he is crowned king, is a bad choice of name for the mother). But it's especially intriguing that the future of the teenaged son "Hal" is left uncertain. The only human who hears Prince's words, young Hal cannot accept them, coming as they do from a dog. We are left to wonder in this wise and wry novel if he will remain "in the tavern," surrounded by the Falstaffs of the world, and whether Prince has died in vain.

Dark Souls begins offline, and you'll be given chances to make pacts with non-playable characters in the game. These are different from recruiting characters to join you, or being recruited, it moreso determines how you play your character. Some of these in-game pacts are more well-hidden than others. Since some of these pacts determine who you side with, this also determines who your online friends - and enemies - will be, since other players will also be making said pacts and also taking sides. As a result, the game heavily relies on player choice but not necessarily story.
Recovery and healing items will not be very easy to come by, but players can also create these with the bonfire system. With this, From Software hopes that new players will be able to adjust a bit more easily.
With Dark Souls is nearing completion, the developer says they don't want to reveal too much information, though more is to come. Instead, they'd rather the player discover and experience these things for themselves. Dark Souls will be released this holiday season in North America and Europe thanks to Namco Bandai.
