The opposition would have won a federal election held last weekend despite a dip in support, the latest Newspoll says.
In two-party preferred terms, support for the coalition was 52 per cent to 48 per cent for the Labor government, from 54-46 per cent a fortnight before.
At the 2010 federal election, the two-party preferred vote was 50.1 per cent for Labor to 49.9 per for the coalition.
In the Newspoll survey of 1128 voters conducted over May 27-29, the primary vote for the coalition was down two percentage points to 44 per cent, while Labor's rating rose to 34 per cent from 33 per cent.
That was the highest primary vote for Labor since mid-March.
Support for the Australian Greens rose four percentage points to 14, the party's highest primary vote since early March.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard's satisfaction rating rose one percentage point to 35, with her disaffection rating slipping from 55 to 54 per cent.
Ms Gillard remained the preferred prime minister.
Her ranking as the better PM rose two percentage points to 44 per cent, with opposition leader Tony Abbott down to 37 per cent from 38 per cent.
Satisfaction with Mr Abbott's performance fell one percentage point to 37 per cent and dissatisfaction with the opposition leader increased two percentage points to 53 per cent.

Subbasal nerve fiber regeneration after LASIK and LASEK assessed by noncontact esthesiometry and in vivo confocal microscopy: prospective study
Darwish, Taym, Brahma, Arun, O'Donnell, Clare, & Efron, Nathan (2007) Subbasal nerve fiber regeneration after LASIK and LASEK assessed by noncontact esthesiometry and in vivo confocal microscopy: prospective study. Journal Of Cataract And Refractive Surgery, 33(9), pp. 1515-1521.
PURPOSE: To evaluate recovery of the corneal subbasal nerve plexus and corneal sensitivity after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK). SETTING: Manchester Centre for Vision, Royal Eye Hospital, Manchester, United Kingdom. METHODS: Thirty LASEK patients and 20 LASIK patients had slit-scanning confocal microscopy and noncontact corneal esthesiometry preoperatively and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Images of the subbasal nerve plexus were analyzed using customized software to evaluate nerve regeneration. RESULTS: Central corneal sensitivity decreased significantly 1 month after LASEK and LASIK and returned to normal levels after 3 months. Corneal subbasal nerve fiber density, nerve branch density, nerve fiber length, and nerve fiber width decreased significantly 1 month after LASIK and had not returned to the preoperative levels by 6 months. Nerve fiber tortuosity decreased significantly 1 month after LASEK and returned to the preoperative levels 3 months after surgery. There were no significant differences in nerve fiber tortuosity before and after LASIK. Neither corneal sensitivity nor nerve fiber morphology was different between the 2 groups at any postoperative visit. CONCLUSIONS: Corneal sensitivity and subbasal nerve morphology were adversely affected by LASEK and LASIK. Corneal sensitivity recovered 3 months after the procedure, but subbasal nerves were still abnormal after 6 months. Despite the different forms of surgical trauma to corneal nerves with LASIK and LASEK, there was no apparent difference in the time course of recovery of corneal structure and function.

I should alert you to an utterly insane posting on the National Review's blog by a certain Andy McCarthy. Here's a taste:
The fact is that, as a man of the hard Left, Obama is more comfortable with a totalitarian Islamic regime than he would be with a free Iranian society. In this he is no different from his allies like the Congressional Black Caucus and Bill Ayers, who have shown themselves perfectly comfortable with Castro and Chàvez. Indeed, he is the product of a hard-Left tradition that apologized for Stalin and was more comfortable with the Soviets than the anti-Communists (and that, in Soros parlance, saw George Bush as a bigger terrorist than bin Laden)...
...It would have been political suicide to issue a statement supportive of the mullahs, so Obama's instinct was to do the next best thing: to say nothing supportive of the freedom fighters.
Get out the nets. What percentage of wingnuts actually believe this kind of thing? Don't answer that question. Refreshingly, one of them is not NR editor Rich Lowry, who wrote a simple, one-sentence riposte:
Andy, whatever policy differences we have with him, Obama surely would rather have a free Iran than a dictatorial, anti-American one.
You'd think this gentle reproval from a man who is after all his boss would have stilled the brackish waters swirling away in the space between McCarthy's ears. But no! It only roiled the waters further. He shot back:
Rich, I respectfully disagree, but I think we need to be clear on terms. You say, "Obama surely would rather have a free Iran than a dictatorial, anti-American one." (Emphasis added.)
As between freedom and dictatorship, in principle Obama is fine with dictatorship — we are seeing less and less freedom in our own country, and I believe Obama (who is dirigiste by nature) values stability over the rambunctiousness of a free society. He has certain values, and while he'd be delighted to have a free society arrive at them, he'd rather see them imposed if the alternative was a free society likely to shun them.
Yes. Less freedom in our own country. Because after all banks ought to be free to steal from people and coal companies ought to be free to wreck the planet and insurance companies ought to be free to drop people who are weak enough to contract cancer and diabetes and the like.
Look out, McCarthy! The vast left-wing conspiracy met last night, and we agreed unanimously to put you on the list! Watch your back the next time you go to the multiplex.

Fourth quarter clock management
Saw this stat in the Baltimore Sun in their quarter by quarter graphics.
In the 4th quarter the Ravens had 28 yards; the Saints had 174 yards.
Yet the Ravens had the ball for 10:31 and the Saints for 4:29
Give the coaches some credit for running time off the clock systematically even if we hate the prevent defense

Re: Fourth quarter clock management
It would appear the Ravens coaches are great at letting seconds tick off the clock in the 4th quarter, no matter what the situation is.

Champions League: Real Madrid stuns Bayern Munich in semifinal romp
Three goals in the first 34 minutes, two of them from Sergio Ramos, gave Real Madrid an insurmountable 4-0 aggregate lead against Bayern Munich, and a final nail in the coffin from Cristiano Ronaldo ensured the Spanish side progressed to next month's Champions League final in Lisbon -- its first final since 2002 -- on a stunning 5-0 aggregate. These were the highlights from Bayern's surprising collapse, and Real Madrid's surprising dominance at Allianz Arena in Munich:
Man of the Match: Angel di Maria, Real Madrid
It was Sergio Ramos who effectively settled the tie with his two headers in the first 20 minutes, exposing shambolic marking from Bayern -- first pulling away from Thomas Muller, and then finding space between Dante and Mario Mandzukic (Bayern, it's worth remembering, had 15 corners at the Bernabeu and failed to create a meaningful chance from any of them) -- but again Real Madrid's domination was based in its midfield and the tactical intelligence of its play.
Luka Modric, whose corner led to the first goal, was again superb, but the decisive influence was Angel di Maria.
It was his free kick, flicked on by Pepe, that brought the second goal, but more important than that was his role as the conduit for the counterattack. There may be no better player in the world at the moment at judging when to carry the ball forwards, when to hold his position and when to attempt a long forward pass, the link he provides from back to front what makes him so vital both for Madrid and Argentina.
His pass to release Karim Benzema, who played it forward to Gareth Bale, who then set up Cristiano Ronaldo for the third, could not have been shaped or weighted better. A 69th-minute cross almost teed up another chance for Ronaldo, and another after 81 minutes created an opportunity for Raphael Varane.
But perhaps the greatest example of di Maria's excellence was an absence. Nobody embodies Bayern and the Guardiola way more than Philipp Lahm, whose link-up with Arjen Robben is such a key attacking threat. Yet Lahm was hardly involved in the attacking sphere, stifled by di Maria, constantly having to ensure the Argentinian wasn't creating havoc.
WATCH: Ramos' two headers stun Bayern Munich
Moment of the Match: Bayern gets rattled early, sets tone
Three minutes in, Franck Ribery chased a ball down the Bayern left. Daniel Carvajal stepped across him and shepherded the ball out of play for a goal kick. Ribery had been desperately poor in the first leg unable to impose himself on the Real fullback and, perhaps attempting to assert himself, he shoved Carvajal to the ground.
The Spain international probably made more of it than he needed to, but as he hit the ground he gave a little glance back, a look that suggested he knew exactly what was going on and was in control of the situation.
Pepe, as he always will, came charging across to add his opinion, at which Mandzukic raced over, hands raised. The symbolism was clear: Bayern was rattled, already seeming frustrated, and Real Madrid was toying with it. Ribery later -- unseen by the Portuguese referee Pedro Proenca, who, not for the first time, was overly fussy but lost control of the game, slapped Carvajal, as clear an admission of defeat as you're likely to see.
Bayern's capacity to wind up opponents was an understated element of its success last season -- Robben and Ribery are masters of manufacturing fouls and manipulating the tempo of the game through the exaggeration of injuries, Thomas Muller a whiner and pressurizer of referees -- but here it was the victim. That's not praise Real for its gamesmanship -- a better referee would have stamped early on its time-wasting -- but it is to highlight how rapidly the biter was bit and Bayern's composure was lost.
That the needle and play-acting was less pronounced after halftime was merely an indication of how dominant Real Madrid was.
WATCH: Ronaldo sets single-season Champions League goals record
How Real Madrid stacks up against Chelsea or Atletico Madrid
Whichever team Real Madrid faces in the final, the narrative is enticing.
Either it will face Atletico Madrid, its city rival, a team to whom, up until September 2013, it had not lost since 1999, but against whom it has picked up a single point in two league games this season. The two met in the European Cup semifinal in 1959, Real winning after a replay.
Or, it will face Chelsea, pitting Carlo Ancelotti against his former club and, more sulphurously, Jose Mourinho against the side he left amid much acrimony last summer.
Whether Chelsea or Atletico makes it through on Wednesday, Real will almost certainly find itself as the proactive side, having the bulk of possession and trying to break down opponents who sit deep and look to play on the counter. What will be fascinating is whether Ancelotti accepts being placed in that position, given how his side has excelled on the counter against Bayern.
Not only are Bale and Ronaldo, with their pace and technical ability, ideally suited to playing on the break, but his midfield -- Modric and di Maria in particular -- has excelled protecting the back four.
One issue Real will have to deal with is the absence through suspension of Xabi Alonso, banned for the final after picking up a decisive yellow card for a needless foul on Bastian Schweinsteiger. Sami Khedira, who suffered knee ligament damage in November, is back in training, so there is an outside chance he could return, but more likely is that Asier Illaramendi comes in for Alonso.

Access control & video surveillance includes physical security technologies such as access control devices, IP video cameras, video management software (VMS), and video storage devices and systems.
Access control usually refers to a device or system that restricts access to a place or other resources based on individual credentials. Individuals allowed to access the place or resource verify their authorization through human monitoring (such as a guard), physical keys, electronic login information, biometric identification, electronic keys, or a combination of methods. In the physical security world, access control is used to restrict access by unauthorized personnel to a property, building, or a room.
IP video cameras (Internet protocol cameras or IP cameras) are a type of digital video camera often used for surveillance. They differ from analog closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras by being able to send and receive data over a computer network or via the Internet. There are two types of IP cameras, centralized and decentralized. Centralized require a central Network Video Recorder (NVR) while decentralized do not. Decentralized IP cameras have built-in recording functionality and store video locally on flash memory, network attached storage (NAS), or hard disk drives.
Video management software (VMS) is a component of a video surveillance solution which consists of cameras, network infrastructure, storage, and the VMS. Unlike analog cameras, IP cameras operate over a standard computer Ethernet network such as LAN, WAN, or the Internet. Because of this a computer on the network must have video management software installed in order to handle recording and other functionality for all the cameras on the network. Some systems load video management software onto the cameras themselves, letting the user access and control cameras with only a smartphone or tablet app.
Video storage can be done in multiple ways, either with direct attached storage or detached storage. Direct attached storage is the most common solution for small to medium-sized installations, where the computer running the video management software stores video directly to its hard drive. Detached storage can consist of either network attached storage (NAS) or a storage area network (SAN). A NAS system is a single devices directly connected to a LAN that provides storage to the entire network. A SAN is a specialized network designed for storage and connected to a server, providing user access through the server and offering high scalability.

Reviews for Three-Cheese Potato Bake
Reviewed Oct. 3, 2010
"Very good recipe. I made this with the fish and green beans in the same menu. Only change I made was using cut up American singles instead of Velveeta. This recipe could be improved by using real potatoes, but it's very quick and easy as is."

This Lanvin vintage dress is part of Chris Jacovides's collection to be auctioned.

Vintage clothes are in vogue - even Crown Princess Mary wears them - and there's a lot more to the genuine article than meets the eye, discovers Lenny Ann Low.
For those passionate about vintage fashion, it is often the innards, rather than the outer, of a classic piece that gets the heart racing. Seasoned collectors say the thrill of finding a special "preloved" garment is quickly followed by close scrutiny of its construction.
"We get so excited by the beautiful sewing and fabric," says Alex Elliott-Howery, part owner of the Camperdown boutique Pigeon Ground Public. "And when you find things in immaculate condition it's amazing because a lot of stuff, especially from the older eras, is very damaged, and damaged in a way that can't be repaired."
Her business partner, Agatha Gothe-Snape, adds: "We have a passion for the past - a romanticised notion of the times when things were custom-made and not dominated by mass production."
At a time when fashion chain-stores - up-market and down - are clogged with cheaply made vintage-style designs and the catwalks and sidewalks of the world's fashion capitals continue to feature vintage-inspired clothing and accessories, the time is ripe to invest in the often very affordable real thing. Even Crown Princess Mary of Denmark opted for secondhand, albeit with a very fat wallet, recently, wearing a vintage Oscar de la Renta frilled skirt for the Australian Red Cross Charity Ball in Sydney earlier this month.
"Vintage fashion has become international currency," says Chris Jacovides, a fashion designer and collector who ran a couture salon in Sydney for 39 years. "It's prohibitive to produce a garment like that, cost-wise, now, which is why couture garments in Paris, Italy and New York are $20,000 for a simple nothing."
Apart from his own "absolute passion" for the clothing, Jacovides says his main reason for acquiring vintage couture was to help future students of fashion. "They can see how to roll a hem properly instead of just putting it under the Singer sewing machine and saying, 'Well, that's the look now.' Or not lining it and expecting a girl to go out with red undies to match her red chiffon.
"With every one of these pieces there is much more work going on inside the garment than the actual look of it on the outside. It's the inside that makes them what they are. That lets them remain with us and become vintage."
More than 30 items from Jacovides's collection - including rare pieces by 20th-century couturiers such as Christian Dior, Lanvin, Pierre Balmain, Jean Patou and Schiaparelli - will be auctioned by Shapiro Auctioneers in Camperdown on Sunday. (It is the second selection of collected vintage clothing Jacovides has let go in recent years. In 1991, more than 100 items were acquired by the Powerhouse Museum after he originally sold them to the National Trust in 1976.)
"Vintage pieces like the ones on auction are important because nowadays there is not the time to make them, the wages are high and the knowledge isn't there," he says.
The popularity of vintage fashion is making it harder and harder to find a bargain in the traditional hunting grounds of markets and charity stores.
At Pigeon Ground Public, Elliott-Howery concedes that sourcing vintage wear for commercial reasons is an increasingly competitive, and secretive, business, but says she is primarily keen on enjoying the hunt.
"It's really the thrill of going out and finding things," she says. "Along with the fact that it lets us rescue beautiful or quirky stuff we wouldn't ordinarily buy for ourselves."
Elliott-Howery says running Pigeon Ground Public (named after the primary school the pair attended) has inspired her to take greater note of different fashion eras and labels and collect items more seriously.
Inside the tiny shop, on a busy intersection blanketed by the roar of passing planes, trucks and cars, Gothe-Snape's passion for "preloved" non-era-specific clothing is evident in the careful and artful arrangement of colourful woollens, funky ties, elegant shoes, myriad jewellery and delicate felt hats displayed on various custom-made shelves or inside secondhand suitcases and wooden desk drawers. Racks featuring 1940s, '50s and '70s silk, cotton, wool and satin dresses face off tweed skirts, men's cotton shirts and women's woollen jackets. Prices for items range from about $8 to $300.
"I'm not entirely sure why we opened this shop," says Elliott-Howery, laughing. "Agatha and I have known each other since we were five, so have a very like-minded sensibility. We began the shop on a bit of a whim, as a side project, but it's just really taken off."
The pair plan to celebrate the shop's one-year anniversary with a fashion parade in a nearby alley.
At the Vintage Clothing Shop, a vintage apparel institution in the city, Lorraine Foster is also fascinated by the care given to creating vintage clothing, but says her greatest love stems from the fabric each vintage piece is made from.
"Textiles," Foster says. "I love textiles. The very first vintage thing I bought was a piece of fabric."
Foster, a prominent commercial authority on vintage fashion who documented the Banana Room, Sophie van Rood's important collection of more than 7500 antique and vintage fashion items dating from 1850 to 1980, for a Lawson-Menzies auction last year, is also adamant about the long-term hardiness of vintage.
"They look fragile but they're not," says Foster, pointing to the shop's racks and shelves, which feature vintage dresses, cardigans, suits, shirts, purses, hats and skirts ranging from the turn of the 20th century to the 1970s.
"They're fragile if you are really rough with them. But the great thing about the fabrics and the sewing is that they're just as good as they were when they were made."
Such is her love for each piece, Foster gives advice to customers about caring for vintage clothing.
"Never put an iron on it if it's crepe, and don't even walk past a washing machine if it's chiffon," she says. "But, I tell you, people are always absolutely amazed when you say it would be better to wash something with water than dry-clean it. A good wash can actually improve certain things."

Pumpkin Martini
The bar at Aix was intended more as a convivial place to wait for a table than a place where you'd hang out all night. Even so, I love to sit and sip in this lovely, calming space. And when I recently stopped by for a little boisson alcoolisée (that's French for cocktail -- the only word I learned in Paris), Cyd, proprietor and master mixologist, whipped me up a marvelous Pumpkin Martini ($9) made with pumpkin purée, sweetened condensed milk, milk, Stoli Vanil and Frangelico. I listened intently as my Francophile date raved on and on about how fabulous the martini was and how, like a fine wine, it revealed layers of deepening complexity as you drank it. I simply thought it tasted quintessentially autumnal, like everything Thanksgiving should be; in fact, it would be a fabulous alternative to pumpkin pie at next month's feast. When I finished the martini, I felt like I'd just polished off a lovely dinner, and needed something a little more smoothing. The Lavender Martini ($11), made with Ketel One Citroen, Grand Marnier, simple syrup, Sprite and steamed lavender and mint, was the perfect solution. It was like a cleansing treatment for my brain, and I grew calmer with every sip. I was thinking of escaping to a spa on Thanksgiving, but now I think I'll save some money and just head to the bar at Aix.

Obama hunkering down this weekend to prepare for next debate
Obama was hunkering down Saturday in Virginia to go over the game plan for the town-hall debate with Romney. But his weekly radio and Internet address on Saturday spoke of an industry that's critical to Ohio, another battleground state and perhaps the most important to his Republican opponent's White House hopes…
Obama and top aides plan hours of practice sessions ahead of the town hall-style event, including some mock exchanges with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who is playing the role of Romney.
Campaign officials sought to keep details of Obama's preparations secret. But they said the president was working on being more aggressive in responding to Romney and calling the Republican out on issues as well as pointing out what they maintain are Romney's true position

ok rug.
i've been very happy with a couple of other rug purchases from overstock, but this one was a disappointment. they were kind enough to let me return it for free.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? pattern true to picture but the colors less vibrant.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. didn't keep it long enough to tell.
- How accurate was the sizing? rug is shorter than stated (the one we got was about 7'3"

Colorado Mining president: Government fighting a 'war on coal'
August 15, 2012
Tri-State subsidiary buys Colowyo to ensure fuel source for Craig Station
When representatives at Rio Tinto informed managers at Craig Station it would honor its coal supply contract until 2017 and then close Colowyo Mine, officials at Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. opened negotiations to purchase the mine. Colowyo Mine has been one of two major coal suppliers to the local power plant, the other being neighboring Trapper Mining Company. In December 2011, Tri-State, through its subsidiary Western Fuels-Colorado, closed on the acquisition ensuring a steady supply of coal for Craig Station's estimated remaining lifespan of 30 to 40 years. On Tuesday, Colowyo Mine Manager Chris McCourt discussed the acquisition and future expansion projects during the Colorado Coal & Power Generation Conference in Craig. Colowyo currently mines about 2.3 million tons of coal per year, all of which goes to fuel Craig Station, McCourt said. That production is down about two-thirds from its peak years in 2007 and 2008 when Colowyo also fueled the Nucla Station in Western Colorado and other coal-fired power plants around the country. But with energy demands increasing in world markets, McCourt said the new management has shifted its focus to expansion. "I know it was very stabilizing for the area here to know this operation is going to be looking toward the future to provide long-term stability," he said. Among some of the plans are to explore the viability of Colowyo's reserves located beneath its current surface mines, McCourt said. Colowyo's surface pits are expected to produce for about the next seven years, McCourt said. Then, the company may transfer to a subsurface operation. The company also is making plans to expand into its Collom Reserve. The Collom Reserve, McCourt said, features 27 seams and an estimated 200 million tons of coal. Colowyo is focusing on 12 seams to start, which would be mined from the surface at depths up to 30 feet. "We believe there is enough coal to last into Craig Station's remaining generations," McCourt said. "As coal markets pick back up, we will be expanding into other markets to sell this coal."
"They want what the United States has, they want what the developed world has because electricity is a good thing. People who have access to electricity tend to live longer, they have a better quality of life. Those societies (have) lower rates of infant mortality, greater access to clean drinking water and a host of other things that boost their standard of living."
— Stuart Sanderson, Colorado Mining Association president, about the increased demand for coal in developing nations
The Clean Air, Clean Jobs Act, sage grouse, and more stringent air quality regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency are among some of the concerns facing Northwest Colorado coal producers, industry officials said Tuesday.
State and local representatives from the coal and power generation industries addressed those concerns during the Colorado Coal & Power Generation Conference at the Holiday Inn of Craig, 300 S. Colorado Highway 13.
The annual event, hosted in recent years in Craig and Steamboat Springs, attracted more than 70 people and provided industry officials the opportunity to address the affects government regulations could have on their ability to deliver reliable electricity to American consumers.
The conference featured two separate panels of speakers, including Stuart Sanderson, Colorado Mining Association president; Jerry Nettleton, environmental manager at Twentymile Mine; Rick Johnson, manager of Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc.'s Craig Station; and Chris McCourt, manager of Colowyo Mine, among others.
After a brief welcome address by Moffat County Commissioner Audrey Danner, Sanderson delivered a presentation on the state of coal in 2012.
Sanderson stayed true to his comments from a week ago in which he said his discussion would be largely political in nature, focusing on President Barack Obama and the EPA's "war on coal."
Yet, despite a growing domestic shift toward natural gas and increased investment in renewable technologies, Sanderson said the state of coal is not as bleak as it may seem, especially when looking beyond American markets.
Sanderson cited developing nations like India and China, two countries embracing coal as a reliable source of energy. History may be playing a factor in the attraction of coal overseas, Sanderson said.
"They want what the United States has, they want what the developed world has because electricity is a good thing," Sanderson said. "People who have access to electricity tend to live longer, they have a better quality of life. Those societies (have) lower rates of infant mortality, greater access to clean drinking water and a host of other things that boost their standard of living."
Johnson played off Sanderson's historical reference.
"Look at all of the underdeveloped countries that are anxious for coal and natural resources to develop their countries into what the United States of America used to be," he said.
Johnson also discussed costs Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. will incur if the EPA approves in September the State Implementation Plan of the Clean Air, Clean Jobs Act.
According to that plan, Craig Station would be required to install a selective catalytic reduction device, in addition to other equipment upgrades, aimed at reducing the power plant's nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions.
If approved next month, Craig Station would have five years to comply with the new regulations.
The new equipment and upgrades carry an estimated price tag of $300 million, plus $10 to $15 million in annual maintenance and repair costs.
Because Craig Station is a cooperative member of Tri-State, those costs would likely be passed down to consumers in the more than one million homes and businesses powered by the 1,311 megawatts of electricity generated in Craig, Johnson said.
It's a significant cost to pass on to consumers, he argued, considering the Clean Air, Clean Jobs discussion was focused on visibility issues, not health or science-based concerns.
"There are significant cost increases (associated with Clean Air, Clean Jobs) without beneficial improvement to the environment," Johnson said. "Hopefully with the elections coming up and more people beginning to realize what we're doing with the economy in the United States, maybe people will start coming to some commonsense conclusions to get this society going again."

When the liver becomes inflamed beyond a period lasting six weeks, we consider the process a "chronic hepatitis" or "chronic inflammatory hepatic disease."
Though many diseases can lead to this process, the one we call "chronic active hepatitis" and typically also designate as "chronic inflammatory hepatic disease" is one veterinary medicine reserves for a syndrome involving an inflammatory process of the liver. Sometimes we can pinpoint a cause (such as viruses and toxins), but other times we've noted that it tends to occur in certain breeds of dogs for reasons we don't completely understand.
If that sounds convoluted, that's because most syndromes are. And this one can be especially confusing...and frustrating. In fact, with this non-specific disease entity only one thing is certain: Dogs develop inflammation of the liver that leads to a fibrosis, or scarring down, of the liver.
Though the liver has regenerative properties, at some point these can become exhausted and the liver can reach an end-stage state we call "cirrhosis." This ultimately leads to complete liver failure unless the process can be halted.
A hereditary predisposition marks this relatively common condition for some breeds of dogs. Gender and age are also a risk factor; females are overrepresented while the mean age of diagnosis is about six.
Vomiting, inappetance/anorexia, weight loss and jaundice may be noted. In later stages of the disease, ascites (fluid in the abdomen) and encephalopathy (neurological symptoms) are also common.
Because the signs of this condition are so non-specific and because specific causes of this process must be ruled out individually, diagnosis can be especially complex. Blood work to investigate the liver and other organs, tests for infectious diseases (like Leptospirosis), urinalysis, ultrasounds, X-rays and liver biopsies are considered basic for any disease process involving the liver.
Ultimately, the liver biopsy is what seals the diagnosis of chronic active hepatitis.
The following breeds have been targeted for genetic study of this syndrome:
Among these, the Cocker spaniel and Doberman Pinscher seem most predisposed. In West Highland White Terriers, as for others, Copper Hepatopathy, another distinct, hereditary disease process, may be involved in initiating the condition.
Treatment is the hard part. In cases where we can identify a cause (an infection, a toxic drug, etc.) eliminating the cause of the inflammation is key. For those whose condition progresses in spite of an identifiable inciting cause, all we can do is make things easier for the liver to do its work by providing drugs that help eliminate toxins from the body, antibiotics to support the liver's inability to clear infections, supplements that support the liver and medications that reverse some of the effects of whole body toxicity (anti-nausea drugs, etc.) and fluid accumulation (furosemide, etc.).
It's largely a supportive role we play as we try to handle a diseased liver's failings. Unfortunately, liver transplants are not yet available for dogs, except very experimentally.
The cost of diagnosing a dog with this condition usually runs from $500 to $2,500, depending on the facility and the degree of testing required to reach a conclusive diagnosis. Treatment, however, can become very expensive if ICU services are required or if the disease is longstanding and requires expensive drugs for years of life.
Dogs in these situations can run up bills between $500 and $5,000 or more, depending on the condition's longevity and the owners' ability to pay. Unfortunately, this means that many dogs will eventually be euthanized.
Preventing factors that predispose pets to liver inflammation is the way to go. Vaccination against infectious diseases that cause liver swelling is considered basic. Monitoring the liver for signs of toxicity when certain drugs are being administered (phenobarbital, NSAIDs, etc.) is also a fundamental rule of prevention.
Beyond these basic modes, dogs who seem to suffer the hereditary forms of this disease should be excluded from breeding programs. Their siblings and parents should also be checked for the syndrome's presence before including them in any breeding programs.

When I was growing up, in north-east England in the 70s, dinner was something you ate at school and tea was your main evening meal with the family between 5pm and 6.30pm. The first words out of the mouths of children when they got home from school were: "What's for tea?" Usually something and chips in our house. So complaints that an article last week confused high tea with afternoon tea hit home with me. "The old-fashioned high tea - scones, cakes, sandwiches and, of course, a refreshing cuppa - is enjoying a credit-crunch revival," the report said.
One reader responded: "Afternoon tea can include, as well of course as tea (ideally Earl Grey or a choice of China or Indian), cucumber sandwiches, toast, crumpets, toasted teacakes, scones and jam, cake, biscuits, petits fours and even strawberries and cream. It is served between 4pm and 5pm in the afternoon." She pointed out that the people quoted in the article were talking about afternoon tea, not high tea. "High tea is another feast altogether," she said. "It is the main evening meal for many people in the UK, especially but not confined to Scotland and the north of England." She and I are in agreement about the timing of tea, and she added: "It always has a hot cooked main dish - sausages or haddock with a poached egg or shepherd's pie or kippers or some other hearty food - followed by cake and biscuits, and washed down with a pot of good strong tea."
Seven people complained about the description of high tea. It's not unusual for something at the low end of the scale of seriousness to produce quite a large response from readers. This is partly why the paper's daily Corrections and clarifications column - the place where significant errors are noted and put right - makes room for relatively minor mistakes. Time and again, readers say they take small mistakes seriously. As one reader put it when she complained because an article said, wrongly, that Roger Federer hadn't played since winning his fifth consecutive US Open title last month: "A minor point, perhaps, but one which makes the reader wonder how accurate other stories on the website are."
A large volume of emails can indicate a level of irritation among readers and it may mean that a journalist has got something badly wrong, but it may also be the product of a lobby from one side of a social or political issue, and the people sending the emails may not have seen the content they're complaining about. The only question in every case is whether there is a significant error or breach of ethical standards. Many of the most serious errors are corrected following a single complaint.
According to a Guardian reader survey carried out in July, 88% of readers know the paper publishes a daily corrections column. This explains why, in the 18 months since I've been readers' editor, there have been more than 31,000 emails, faxes and telephone calls to the readers' editor's office - 22,500 of them in the past 12 months. To put this figure in perspective the Press Complaints Commission, which deals with complaints about virtually all UK magazines and newspapers, says on its website that in 2007 it dealt with approximately 10,000 inquiries.
The much higher traffic to the Guardian's readers' editor's office includes a fair proportion of emails from journalists either commenting on complaints or putting their hands up to their mistakes - often before readers point them out - as well as complaints about everything from crosswords to stories that injure reputations or mislead. As a result of these communications, more than 1,400 corrections have been published in the paper's corrections column in the past 12 months, and we estimate that several hundred more have been published online (we don't keep figures for those).
The Guardian reader survey contains further evidence that readers think the internal ombudsman system of self-regulation is a good thing; 62% of readers who took part said they were aware that the Guardian has a readers' editor and 81% of them felt this made the paper more responsive to their views.

Derek Featherstone makes some good comments about Growing up With Web Standards. I may be a bit more pessimistic about the adoption tends for web standards because we said this very same thing 4 years ago. That's not to say I think it won't happen... it will happen. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. I hope that my children grow up with web standards as a commonplace... it would be reassuring to know they don't have to hack their CSS and XHTML.

Pig Pig's Corner - 7/10
Thursday, July 15, 2010 - The scallops were nicely cooked and had that nice bouncy texture, but were slightly underwhelming in taste. The butternut squash puree was excellent though and the sweetness was nicely offset by the naturally salty, oily and sharp chorizo...'Roast rack of lamb, sweet potato & coriander puree'. This dish was perfect in every way. The lamb was wonderfully tender and pink in the middle, well seasoned and still had that great lamby taste, enhanced even more by the jus on the side. The sweet potato puree is identical to the one in the starter but the addition of coriander gave it a fresh zest as well.

SHOT Show 2010: Safariland introduces new breaching device
Doors open when the WallBanger breaching tool comes knocking
Sandy Wall, a 28-year veteran of the Houston Police Department, has invented a truly innovative new breaching device for SWAT teams to more safely enter doors and windows behind which bad guys are lurking. The crowd around him at the Safariland booth was a telling indicator of the interest his WallBanger device is getting at SHOT 2010.
Constructed of square aluminum tubing that is remarkably lightweight, the WallBanger is basically a device that ties together and maximizes the effectiveness of a series of purpose-built components already in the BAE Systems line of products.
For example, there is the single WallBanger attachment for use with on Defense Technology 8901C1 device, and a double WallBanger attachment when you want to be twice as nice. There's the OC Blaster attachment that's ideal for break-and-rake followed by a cloud of gas. Finally, the DoorKey Head enables the team to use the overpressure of a Defense Technology 7001C1 flash-bang to breach a padlocked entryway.
Wall explains, "This was in development for about three years and all began with a utility pole with a series of implements" to meet various entry needs. Clearly, Wall has given this tool a considerable amount of thought and as a consequence found a seamless way to give SWAT operators a host of entry options in the field.
The entire system (which includes additional components not mentioned in this space) sells for a little under $4,500 and is immediately available for police agencies in the United States.

When former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made his comments about "known knowns and unknown unknowns" in 2002, he was widely ridiculed for producing what seemed like incomprehensible gibberish.
Yet since his appearance at a press conference on Iraq and weapons of mass destruction, the phrases he coined that day have demonstrated their usefulness, being employed in an ever greater array of contexts.
Rumsfeld's phrase fits remarkably well with the 2017 MotoGP grid as well. The three categories apply just as well to different groups of riders on the grid. We have the "known knowns" of the Aliens, riders who are guaranteed to win races.
We have the "known unknowns", the wildcards such as Cal Crutchlow and Andrea Dovizioso who could easily stage a surprise.
Then you have the "unknown unknowns", a group of riders for whom any result would be imaginable. Given the events of last year, any one of them could end up on the podium, or even winning a race.
But they are just as likely to finish outside the points, or anywhere in between. There is no way of knowing on Thursday night where any of these riders might finish on Sunday.

Homeowners in Auckland's city fringe suburbs could get a nice - or nasty - surprise with updated property valuations in the post next month.
The valuations are the first since the formation of the Auckland supercity and revalue 516,000 properties from Wellsford in the north to Pukekohe in the south.
The values are based on recent sales statistics and improvements to individual properties.
The council expected the estimates would generally be within 15 per cent of the sale price had the house been sold the day it was valued.
Ray White chief executive Carey Smith said he expected traditionally well-selling areas such as Grey Lynn, Ponsonby and Freemans Bay to show growth.
There had also been surprise increases from Kingsland and Arch Hill, which have grown in popularity and seen higher sales figures since the last valuation three years ago.
"Kingsland was a market which lay dormant for a long period and it is now seen as a great place to live for families who want to be close to the city," Smith said.
"Some lesser-known suburbs, such as Newton and Grafton, have also had good buyer interest."
Growth of business hubs such as Albany in the north and Manukau in the south could also mean a boost in valuations for suburbs near those centres.
Improvements to infrastructure in these areas has increased buyer interest.
Peter Thompson, of Barfoot and Thompson, said that as well as city-fringe areas such as Westmere and Mt Eden, growth had been noticed in areas of Flat Bush and East Tamaki Heights in Manukau.
"When business hubs grow, like we have seen in Albany and Manukau, you will see big movements," Thompson said. "Newer subdivisions like Greenhithe should also see growth because of improved motorway access and people working in Albany rather than travelling to the city."
Suburbs that may take a hit in valuation include eastern suburbs of Kohimarama, Mission Bay and Remuera.
"They might go down a little because they were priced quite high three years ago," Thompson said.
Peter McKay, of the Auckland Council, said: "We are constantly updating where there have been changes to properties, like if you build a new house, do an extension or subdivision, or if a house burns down."
Valuations will come out on October 26.
Homeowners wanting to challenge valuations have until December 16 to do so.
Any changes to rates will not take effect until July next year.

The City of Windsor is installing synthetic ice at Charles Clark Square Monday as part of a pilot project that could see Windsorites skating outdoors 365 days per year.
City crews began installing pieces of the 70-foot by 90-foot surface early afternoon. The material was supplied by Synthetic Ice Solutions of Canada.
John Miceli, executive director of parks and facilities, encouraged Windsorites to give the ice a try. If residents like it, the possibility exists an all-year synthetic rink could be installed at a high-profile location, he added.
"Imagine the opportunities once we get this surface installed," Miceli said as crews fitted the pieces together behind him.
"We can skate 365 days a year, possibly on the riverfront, possibly in Jackson Park. Who knows?"
At a minimum, the rink at Charles Clark Square should be open well into the spring.

Among the casualties, Systems Integrated Research saw more than 30% wiped off its market cap, shedding 10p to 21 1/2p after posting a sharp fall in interim profits. The educational software firm posted half-year pretax profits of £39,000, compared to £113,000 last year.
The company said turnover was hit by schools taking a longer period of time in making purchasing decisions.
ICM Computer fell 42 1/2p or 17% to 207 1/2p after warning that first-half trading has been hit by a downturn in spending in the small and medium enterprises sector.
But Celltalk proved to be the biggest small cap faller today, losing 40% of its value with a 1p fall to 1 1/2p as investors shunned the collapsed mobile phone retailer.
In contrast, Alan McGee's record label business Poptones jumped again, rallying a further 37% higher, after yesterday's 75% leap, as investors welcomed the recent success of its Swedish indie group, The Hives. The shares added 0.27p to 1.37p.
EnterpriseAsia.com also featured among the day's gainers, adding 0.125p to 1.025 -- a rise of nearly 14% - after the firm announced that innoVision Holding will provide its Light Boxes, which display poster visuals, as part of an advertising poster network to telecom company CM Concept for its shops in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Meanwhile Aim-listed Eurasia Mining shares added 1 1/4p to 15 1/4p after announcing it has resumed drilling on the Vissim and Sosvar alluvial platinum projects in the Russian Urals.
Evidence of institutional buying lifted shares in Airow
2 1/2p to 21p. Protagona also attracted interest, adding 0 1/4p to 4p after the software firm accompanied a cautious outlook statement with news that its cash balances remain strong.

I remember as a child hearing my mom say, "Karen, Karen, sweet and able, get your elbows off the table, this is not a horse's stable." I thought the rhyme was entertaining and my mom thought it was effective. I soon learned that I was not allowed to rest my elbows on the table. Similarly, I teach tall dogs that they are not allowed to have their heads on the table.
We were dogsitting a large dog named Bear whose height made it easy for him to rest his head on our dining room table. After photographing him at the table, I used the cue "leave it" to let him know that the table was off limits to him. I reinforced him with a chew toy for choosing to back away from the table and thereafter reinforced him for resisting the urge to put his head there again. He seemed familiar with the rule already, so I suspected that he had the same rule at home. We avoided leaving food on the table so that there was less temptation, but he followed our guidelines agreeably.
Though I don't want dogs to put their heads on our table, I can't deny that they look awfully endearing when they do so. Do you let your dogs rest their heads on the table, and if not, has it been challenging or straightforward to teach them that this behavior is not allowed?

Sushi is serious business at Mochi Kitchen.
The nearly 4-year-old Haltom City restaurant's lengthy menu teems with all manner of nigiri, makizushi (hand rolls) and sashimi, from the traditional to the unique. Even as you enter the compact space, tucked between a steakhouse and a Thai restaurant in a strip mall just south of Loop 820, the first thing you see is the sushi bar. Behind it, a gong, which is struck whenever guests arrive or depart.
It's a quirky touch, but one separating Mochi Kitchen from the flashy, stylish sushi spots that have popped up with increasing frequency throughout North Texas in the past two years.
In fact, one such sleek eatery -- Blue Sushi Sake Grill, anchoring one end of the bustling West 7th development -- acquired the services of Mochi Kitchen's original chef-owner, Reata veteran Ped Phommavong, who turned over operations to general manager Bon Ku in April 2010. Ku appears to have altered little, retaining the Blade Runner-esque charms of the space (the aforementioned gong, a Phommavong flourish, and abundant Asian tchotchkes, with a flat-screen TV tuned to sports during our recent visit -- complemented by the steady glow of neon light from beneath the bar).
But the food, not the decor, is the focus, and Mochi Kitchen excels at feeding its customers quickly, affordably and with staggering variety. You'll want the fire cracker ($7.95) to start, an eye-popping appetizer set atop a fried wonton masquerading as a tortilla chip. Slightly spicy tuna, crab meat, avocado and four sauces are drizzled on, resulting in a savory, crunchy bite reminiscent of the habit-forming spicy tuna and crab nachos at Sushi Axiom.
You can wade through the menu and suss out what seems most promising or you can let Mochi Kitchen do the editing for you: Pay a flat rate of $19.95 and you'll be treated to all the sushi you can eat. There are some caveats -- no sharing; eat everything you order; selection is somewhat limited; nothing to-go -- but you're also freed from having to narrow your choices. I sampled standards like the spicy tuna roll (frustratingly mild; available separately for $5.95) and exotic concoctions like the volcano roll, which piled baked crab, masuyo and scallop on a California roll ($8.95).
Although sushi is the star of the show, Mochi Kitchen offers lots of other options, including Asian entrees such as kung pao chicken, pepper steak and even bulgogi (Korean barbecue). Prices range from $7.95 to $15.95, and the portions are ample. On a recent visit, my wife tried the honey chicken ($8.95), which was coated in a light crust and a sweet, sticky sauce, and served over fluffy white rice.
Mochi Kitchen is BYOB, with only tea and canned soft drinks available. And although the entree selection is broad and deep, dessert, sadly, is perfunctory: mochi or tempura ice cream ($4.95 and $6.95, respectively) or an orange. (There's also a "chef's special," but diners must request it.)
Is Mochi Kitchen worth beating a path to Haltom City? Not exactly. It's clear that Bon Ku and his team are serious about their sushi, but none of the rolls sampled elicited moans of satisfaction. However, if you are in the area and you have a hankering for sushi, this unassuming, efficient restaurant will hit the spot.
