Is there anything you can give a dog for nausea. She seems to be gagging and cough up alot of phlem

Best Answer
Has she been around other dogs recently? It could be kennel cough (bordatella)--that can cause them to kind of gag and hack up phlegm. It can turn quickly in to something more serious, however, if left untreated.
Regardless, time for the vet. Gagging and coughing stuff up is not a good sign. It could be a zillion things ranging from no big deal to really, really serious.

Drylok bubbling on basement walls.
On basement walls (1940's construction) concrete/stone I applied a coat of dry lok some years ago and over a period of time it kinda bubbled, dampness from ground outside id imagine. Should I scrape that off and apply another coat? Takes some time to apply wish it went on easier but... Doesnt look to appealing right now. Im sure the correct way to fix this situation is get a backhoe and dig a trench around entire home and weatherproof it from the outside but that can cost thousands, and that is not an option at this time. Also that smell can be over powering I heard of maybe drop some vanillla in the can to bring down the oder.Have you heard of this? Thanks for your input.
Do you have a septic tank or a possbile sewer line leak?
Sewer line is what we have and it is terra cotta sp? I did have to replace a section a few years back it broke at the collar roots etc.. broke it. Well this is a much larger section of the home (I think) to be a sewer line situation HOPEFULLY! because it is the whole back wall of the home and half way of the south side. Mainly four feet and higher off the ground, some lower. Water element from weather should not be a situation for the back part of the home do to it being covered with the homes back porch. I know for a fact that the sewer line runs out the back of the home and down the side to the street. I wish I could figure out how to post a picture of it for you. I should also tell you that the foundation was refinished oh bout 10 years ago. The scraped it hung wire and apllied coat of concrete to walls. Kinda like a skim coat. Your thoughts?
whatever the source, there's moisture in the wall which's why the drylock's lifting,,, wirebrush it & apply anew for appearance,,, won't resolve the problem but it will look better for a few yrs.
btw, mason's brush works well w/that stuff.
Thanks I'm on it.
Remember that 'DryLok' is essentially a paint. It has an acrylic resin in it and a lot of filler + colour (white). It rests on the surface of your concrete and is constantly subject to the water pressure that comes from behind. Matter of time before it gets pushed off.
And, yes the best way to solve this is to spend thousands digging out the walls from the outside but few people have the $ to do so. Next to that is a penetrating sealer that reacts with the chemicals in the concrete itself to a depth of about 1/2" and closes the pores that allow moisture in in the first place. Maybe not 100% - but darned close. Also btw seals off radon gas...
So gauge your application of 'DryLok' in relatively short periods - like a few years, even months. But it's better than thousands!

Go to Facebook - Bulou Rusila Jiajia and find a video and many photographs of the Lelean Chapel Choir visit to Melbourne this last weekend. Vinaka vakalevu Bulou for your kindness in putting these up for us all to view. The choir members stayed at a backpacker's hotel in Elizabeth Street, right in the heart of the city of Melbourne, performed a concert at Coburg Town Hall on Saturday night, and then on Sunday there was a worship service at Trinity Dandenong Uniting Church. Vinaka vakalevu to the choir leaders, musicians, singers and helpers. A wonderful occasion by all accounts.Here are four of Bulou's photos at the farewell of the visiting choir.

Kathleen Wynne For the Lose
Premier Wynne was hoping to score some political points with Toronto voters by exploiting the controversy surrounding Mayor Ford.
As reported in a recent Globe and Mail article, "Premier Wynne warned that she is prepared to intervene in the city's affairs, if necessary."
The Globe article further stated that Premier Wynne is monitoring the situation in Toronto City Hall and as appropriate, the Premier and her government would be involved.
Apparently, according to the said article, lawyers for the Wynne government are reviewing the applicable legislation governing municipalities, so as to provide Wynne with advice, if she should decide to act.
Liberal insiders suggested that Wynne may act to remove Mayor Ford if a majority of the Toronto councillors passed a resolution requesting the Wynne government to force Mayor Ford to step down.
You know the Premier crossed the line, when NDP Adam Giambrone, leftist Mayor Miller's right-hand man and former TTC Chairman, in a CBC Radio panel, publicly questioned Premier Wynne for even contemplating intervening in clearly a municipal matter.
Sue-Ann Levy, one of my favorite Toronto Sun columnists, and slightly to the right of Attila the Hun, echoed Giambrone's comments on the same CBC Radio panel.
Sue-Ann mercilessly lambasted Premier Wynne for showing unmitigated gall.
Sue-Ann Levy, went on to characterize Premier Wynne's attack as a cheap political shot, done in an effort to deflect the public away from the troubles of her own government."
It seemed that Premier Wynne may have, in turn, shot herself in the foot with this political gaffe.
No sooner had Premier Wynne given this interview to the Globe, it was widely reported that Premier Wynne was trying to beat a hasty retreat.
John Parker, a Toronto councillor and former Conservative MPP, curtly suggested to Premier Wynne, " thanks, but no thanks. " And that Parker thought that Wynne had enough to concern her at Queen's Park and we don't need to trouble her with our situation here. "
In other words, back off. Please stay out of our house. And by the way, you should fix up your own house first.
On CBC Radio, Friday evening, I specifically heard CBC reporter Jamie Strashin report that a majority of the Toronto councillors were very lukewarm to Premier Wynne getting involved with the Mayor Ford affair.
This view is in direct conflict with the above Globe and Mail article, which implied, from Liberal sources, that a majority of the Toronto councillors would welcome Premier Wynne's intervention to remove Mayor Ford from office.
Even the normally supportive Toronto Star has questioned whether Premier Wynne has a democratic and political mandate to intervene and try to remove Mayor Ford from his office.
Martin Cohn, of the Toronto Star, recently stated in his column, "Ford swept to power with a robust democratic mandate, winning more than 350,000 votes in the 2010 municipal election. Wynne owes the premier's job to a mere 1,150 delegates who annointed her at a Liberal convention last January, and has yet to face voters in a general election. While Ford has lost his moral authority as mayor, Wynne's own democratic legitimacy could become flashpoint, if she made a move to oust him. "
In short, the usually sure-footed Premier has apparently made a serious political misstep. Which could come back to haunt her, especially in a provincial general election, in Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough provincial ridings, where support for Mayor Ford is strongest, unwavering, and very deep. And such loyal supporters of Ford will neither forgive nor forget the Premier's political attack on their beloved Mayor.

Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the military is confronted with a host of issues, including two wars, which must be the major focus of their attention. He indicated the need to give additional study to implications of how the "military culture" woudl be impacted by overturning the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Mullen says he is aware President Obama wants to change the policy at some point, but any change requires an act of Congress so it is not up to the military. General James Jones, the White House national security adviser noted, "we have a lot on our plate now."
General Jones is correct there is a lot on the plate right now, but among the most important needs is for additional soldiers. The key issue can be simply stated as — the military needs more soldiers and there are thousands of gays and lesbians who want to serve their nation. Why deny this valuable resource?

Russia December Industrial Output Probably Grew 2 Percent
Russian industrial production probably expanded in December at about the same pace reached during the previous four months, showing the economy failed to pick up momentum last quarter.
Output at factories, mines and utilities rose 2 percent in December from a year earlier, according to the median estimate of 17 economists in a Bloomberg survey. That compares with 1.9 percent in November and 1.8 percent in October. The Federal Statistics Service will report the data today or tomorrow.
The world's largest energy exporter is seeing a stabilization of industrial growth at weak levels as the economy cools, the central bank said this month. Stagnating output may support the government's calls for monetary stimulus and cheaper money to lift the stuttering economy.
"With the important exception of oil, external demand is weak," said Jacob Nell, chief economist for Russia at Morgan Stanley in Moscow. "Fears of a return of a second wave of the crisis are keeping domestic consumers and businesses cautious."
Russia's economy is forecast to slow to 2.4 percent in the fourth quarter, the weakest pace since a recovery began in 2010, according to the median estimate of 15 economists in a Bloomberg survey. The government should seek to increase growth to a stable 5 percent pace, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said at a conference in Moscow last week.
Bank Rossii removed guidance from its interest rates statement this month, signaling that it may either raise or lower borrowing costs as soon as February, according to First Deputy Chairman Alexei Ulyukayev.
Opposing Views
The central bank doesn't think monetary easing is appropriate to boost the economy now, while Cabinet officials including First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov and Finance Minister Anton Siluanov have called for lower borrowing costs to jumpstart growth.
Sales of cars and light vehicles grew by 1 percent in December compared with a year earlier, down from last year's high of 25 percent in February, according to the Association of European Businesses in Russia. Sales at OAO AvtoVAZ, the country's biggest carmaker, were flat in December compared with a year earlier and fell 7 percent during all of 2012, the committee said Jan. 15.
Company Doubts
"Industrial production growth was weak at the end of the year, and the slowdown of corporate lending growth to 13 percent suggests that," Dmitry Dolgin, an economist at Alfa Bank in Moscow, said by e-mail before the release. "Companies have doubts about the stability of domestic demand and the prospects for global economic growth."
The price for Urals crude, Russia's main export blend, has advanced 1.7 percent this year to $111.61 a barrel. The country's biggest export earner averaged $110.27 a barrel last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The economy's "soft patch" probably contained industrial output in December, a trend that will likely remain throughout the first quarter, said Ivan Tchakarov, chief economist for Russia at Renaissance Capital in Moscow.
"Investment has been weak in 2012 because of the political cycle and external uncertainty," he said by e-mail before the release. "Investment will recover strongly in 2013 as the global backdrop will be better and global economy firmer."

BBC Review
Pop pioneer he ain't; but he does deserve more credit than being a 'Sinatra clone'.
Paul Sullivan 2007
Juno-winning, Grammy-nominated Canadian warbler, Michael Bublé, has had critics tripping over themselves to claim him as a latter-day Frank Sinatra. But aren't such accolades rendered superfluous when wheeled out more regularly than a Starbucks frappucino (which Bublé helped the drinks company advertise back in 2005)?
Jamie Cullum, Peter Cincotti and Harry Connick Jr. are just some of the contemporary crooners who've been branded with the neo-Sinatra stamp, a label that suggests not only a signature singing style and a nostalgic temperament, but also - at worst - an utter lack of originality.
To be fair to Bublé, his albums to date - 2003's Michael Bublé and 2005's It's Time - show he can hold a tune. Comprised mainly of covers, these collections successfully promote a charming, even chivalrous personality, with a frictionless voice capable of churning out pop classics, torch songs, sentimental ballads and upbeat Latino tunes to order.
Call Me Irresponsible continues in much the same vein, though the crisp finger-snaps and swinging arrangements of opener "The Best Is Yet To Come," immediately suggests this third studio album might be punchier than its predecessors.
The infectious joie de vivre of tunes like "It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera)" and Mel Torme's "Coming Home Baby," (which features background harmonics from Boyz II Men) indeed find Bublé at his very best. You can almost imagine him in the studio - tie loosened, suit-sleeves rolled up, tiny pools of perspiration building on his forehead - as he lets fly.
His version of "Me & Mrs Jones" is a subtler affair, though still engaging, while Leonard Cohen's pathos-infused "I'm Your Man" gets a very reasonable rethink, complete with tension-building pauses and shimmering, Mancini-style strings.
It's the slower, schmaltzy songs that get the album into trouble.
The bossa-esque version of Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and the cover of Presley's "Always On My Mind" are unforgivably mawkish; his own songs - "Everything," with its pseudo-Latin rhythm and "Island-In-The-Stream" style verses, and the lachrymose "Lost" - are only slightly more convincing.
The perky big band groove of "I've Got The World On A String" and the Gospel-backed, bluesy "That's Life" help prevent the album sliding into total coffee-shop pop.
Bublé hasn't reinvented the wheel here, but his choice of covers is astute and he has an undeniable way with a song. Pop pioneer he ain't; but he does perhaps deserve a little more credit than being a 'Sinatra clone'.

We're going to court to stop President Trump from reversing protections for Arctic and Atlantic waters. More than 120 million acres of pristine Arctic waters depends on winning this fight. We're in this battle for as long as it takes. Please support all of our efforts to stop Trump's recklessness!
The Wilderness Society released the following statement today regarding a close vote on a conservation amendment (S.A.
Today, several measures aimed to roll back protections on our nation's public lands were defeated in the Senate as part of the Keystone XL Pipeline bill.
The agency rule was issued after a federal court ruled in 2013 that the Forest Service was in violation of an executive order on off-road vehicle management. The statement from The Wilderness Society follows:
Despite major risks, obstacles and climate change concerns, the proposed plan would allow drilling for oil and gas in this remote, fragile and rapidly warming environment.
The following statement is from Sally Miller, senior regional conservation representative with The Wilderness Society, regarding Representative Paul Cook's introduction of legislation to create the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area and include it in the Bureau of Land Man
Senators Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., introduced the bill along with Republican Senators James Risch of Idaho, Cory Gardner of Colorado and Steve Daines of Montana as well as Democratic Senators Michael Bennet of Colorado, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Maria Cantwell of Washingto
"The amendment offered by Senator Fischer to the Keystone XL Pipeline legislation proposes to create major roadblocks for popular local programs like the Land and Water Conservation Fund that secures access to popular public lands for sportsmen, recreationists and all Americans.
The Wilderness Society strongly opposes H.R. 330, a bill introduced this week that would undermine the ability of presidents to use the Antiquities Act to protect public lands that have significant historic, cultural or conservation value.
The bill would change how the federal government budgets for the suppression of wildfire disasters, to make it similar to the way other disasters are funded.


text: Does anyone remember that Dbag, Steve Young before the Giants - Saints game. I know the jackass is not worth listening to, but he was but he was just so insulting to the Giants even by his standards that night. The whole pregame he kept hapring on if the Saints had enough in them to beat the Packers in the NFC Championship game. This was at a time the Giants had a winning record and while slumping, still led theirdivision. One of the other analysts, it may have been Jaws, but I can't remember, toldYoung that he was forgetting the Giants were still a team to worth watching h and that they were playing theSaints team he was referring to in less than an hour. He took like 0.002 seconds to consider it and then esentially said the NFC was a two team race and that theless than mediocre Giants weren't even worth commenting on. This in a game his networkwas about to broadcast!I was thinking about that last night as Eli was taking a knee with over a minute to play. Neither of the teams that a-hole annointedwere going to the dance. Young has had a long history of completely disrespecting the Giants, but the degree of arrogance of that comment just bothered the heck out of me. I wonder if he even remembers his tool bag comments from two months ago.

Its a dream to push and what can I say about the amount of storage the basket is huge and there is even a pocket on the hood for a mobile phone and more pockets down the back. My 1 year old loves it he is… Read Full Review

This Cosatto Diablo is a lovely, stylish pushchair. Easy to steer and put up/fold, lightweight, with a good sized shopping basket, some great pockets, a roomy footmuff and a full recline option for sleepy baby. Great customer service, 4 year warranty and a lovely buggy overall. Very happy customer. The pockets on the hood are a real bonus - one for my purse, one for my phone and one for my bottle of water. Perfect!… Read Full Review

I loved the Cosatto Diablo pram. I got it last year as a gift from my mother in law. It is comfortable and lightweight and i love the matching cozy toes and rain cover. I found the shopping basket is quite small and after a year of constant use (used very often) the hinges have come very loose and i am unable to do anything about it. Overall i reccommend… Read Full Review

The wheel snapped, when walking along the pavement. complete disaster, i had no way of getting my small 4 week old baby home. I thought this was also very dangerous. I felt that the company seemed to offer no help at all as I never received contact from them even though i had a 4 year guarantee.
I would never trust this company again, I am just thankful my baby was not injured… Read Full Review

It always looks great with its shiny ally frame. It folds well and is nice and light to lift into the boot of a car. I've also noticed that its slightly more roomy than ones most of my friends have. Ideal for the chunkier baby like mine!

I got the Cosatto Diablo buggy for only £70 from www.babyunique.co.uk on special offer. I love it! It's a nice strong pram, but lightweight too; just what I need for the school run, and I can get it in and out of the boot of the car in seconds.

I think Cosatto Diablo is a brill buggy. It's not as lightweight as a cheaper stroller and it is very spacious and robust. It's a cross between a full blown size pushchair and a stroller, although this is supposed to be a lightweight stroller. It is lovely and comfy for my baby. He's one and he didn't slip or slouch or winge with neck ache. I managed to put shopping all over it and it was so steady and solid! I just wish they did a matching pram bag in this design. It's only been a few days… Read Full Review

I don't know if you guys have ever seen this but there was a movie that came out years ago called "Exit to Eden" and it starred Rosie O'Donnell (when she was funny) and Dan Akroyd as well. It was basically a sex comedy that became pretty popular based on a few elements. The most noteworthy element was the absolutely stunning Dana Delany who was put in charge of an island where you could live out your greatest sexual desires (and travel on an awesome fucking yacht). I saw this movie when I was very little (don't ask) and I've always been in love with Dana ever since.
Once you know this, it's no surprise that she is still a precious gem to this very day at the tender age of 51. She's become somewhat of a legend in the realm of Hollywood and I almost fell out of my chair when she starred in an episode of "Battlestar Galactica" a few years back. In the great photos you see below, Dana posed for the December issue of "More" magazine and she looks absolutely incredible for her age. She's just as hot now as she was 20 years ago so if you're a fan, I suggest you check out these scans and if you've never seen any of her movies, go out and rent "Exit to Eden" right now!

The recent outbreak of Measles has finally put educated, better-off liberals aswamp in the same sickening boat of denial shared by the likes of conservative hucksters Glenn Beck and Paul Rand. These New Age Hippie descendents share a common distrust of government at last; with the added bonus of hating Big Pharma. While they may assiduously upgrade recalled child seats and buy bicycle helmets for their tricycling four year olds they have no desire to stuff pins and needles into the bodies of their children enough times they would look like large, moving, organic pincushions if allowed to remain.
I certainly was there 20 years ago as I considered whether I could avoid the mass herding effect of the sheeple who like those who followed religion obeyed authority with the kind of blind trust and loyalty that led the 300 to their graves. Perhaps so many shots weren't necessary. Perhaps we could delay them. Perhaps a bit more mature immunity system would resist possible reactions more surely. Perhaps some shots weren't necessary. Certainly different ones would be required when they travelled abroad later in life, and they could catch up then.
For me encountering school programs as an adjunct to homeschooling stood me face to face with the evil nurse ratchets who mandated we vaccinate unless we could come up with a religious exemption, which was of course impossible in our case. I certainly wasn't going to claim to belong to a secular religion. So they laid their hands on my son, strapping him to the bed with their erstwhile arms, and laid the needles to him to got him caught up. He did not die but I'm sure that memory remains embedded for life and not to my benefit.
Years later my family stood in front of the Supreme Court, quite by accident, on the same day as parents were protesting mandatory vaccinates. Always ready to join a good protest at hand I sought to go but my brilliant wife gave me a look so soundly negative that all the evidence I vaguely held in my head flew away and I knew she was right: the vaccination program is essential. It was a year or so later that the research by the fraud and huckster Wakefield came out as completely faked in order that he might gain fame and sell his alternate products.
In order to debate my antivax friends here in this odd hybrid of a small college town, in the backwaters of West Virginia, shadowed by DC a short hour and half away, I have complied a common set of questions and denials with short answers. They undoubtedly won't work but it's worth a try. I know because I tried them in my Facebook Universe. One, a friend for 17 years, stoutly called me a fool and shill for Big Pharma and he with others continued posting articles on how vax's kill, cause cancer, dilute the species, or are completely unnecessary. Another continued posts where if one only feeds one's children properly and maintains a positive attitude, all will be well. Goodness knows what we'll do with the poor that can't do such things.
- Loving parents have to watch their children get what many kids call or feel or think is a bee sting near 40 times as vax's. Sad but yes.
- Loving parents have to see their children get welts, be uncomfortable many times from vax's. Sad but true. Demand research for better delivery method.
- Many involved, educated, better-paid parents feel the loss of autonomy over their children from the fetus on. Vaxxing seems like loss. No, too dangerous anyway.
- Some have a chicken pox party for protection. Not possible for most and many get get too sick.
- Since most people do them some don't really need to because so many are protected. A privileged position few can follow.
- Vaccinations are too new to know what they do. George Washington vaccinated his troops. Ben Franklin advised to do them.
- Science seems like a fashion show, one year we deny fats, another we don't; what's bad for you this year might be Ok next year. Sympathetic but progress is made; vaccines are time tested.
- Vaccinations make Big Pharma money. No, Vaccines are a loss or break even. High blood pressure, heart and stroke, acid-reflux, bipolar-schizhophrenia, and antidepressants are the most profitable with Lipitor first. New vaccines are beginning to make money which is good as we need more research.
- Vaccines are about our personal freedom. And the freedom to infect others?
- It's impossible to make vaccinations mandatory. Vaccinations are mandatory in two states already, Mississippi and West Virginia.
- Everyone is experiencing alienation loss of autonomy and control. Anti vaxxing seems like a safe rebellion. It isn't, find another.
- Many parents who see abortion as a woman's autonomy issue, extend that to child rearing. Yet accept bike helmets and seat belts. True but so?
- Flu vaccines are dirty and difficult to keep from being contaminated. Yes, but they still work and save lives and reduce income loss from sick days.
- Some parents believe their faith will protect them and their children and if sickness occurs it was due to a lack of sincerity or good work. Reconsider how your faith works.
- Thinking their child won't travel or be exposed to other people outside of their small community lends a sense of safety. Kids do leave.
- Many people believe food and well being stave off many problems and diseases; vax's seem unnecessary if one does the right things. Many diseases thrive in healthy populations. Look at healthy Native populations that were decimated by communicable diseases.
- Since there is no viewing of consequences when vax's work, people lose sight and intensity of need until diseases return. More education is needed.
- I have seen many kids get sick after a vaccination. There are so many vaccinations and kids get sick often enough that correlation seems like causation. The stress of a doctor visit and the child feeling your stress also adds to the difficulty.
- Why do they have to give shots at birth or so many at once. Because they can't be sure people will show up again. Change the health care process here.
- For many people, news on whether or not to incorporate a new vaccine makes it seem like vaccinations are sometimes optional. Those that seem optional, that don't save lives significantly, aren't mandatory.
- Your logic is insufficient–it doesn't convince me. Look at photo's of these people who have measles, it's not mild. Look at these people with polio in iron lungs in the past. Listen to this sound of a baby with whooping cough.

The government would be "incomprehensibly stupid" not to consider capping private sector rents, according to the chief executive of the National Housing Federation.
David Orr told delegates at the federation's annual conference in Birmingham on Thursday that radical thinking was needed to address the UK's housing crisis, but too few politicians and housing providers were thinking long-term.
New figures show that private rents are close to a record high but Orr said the government was frightened even to start a conversation about capping private rents, despite 10,000 new housing benefits claims every month by working households as rents continue to rise and wages to fall.
On 9 September, writing for the Guardian Housing Network Orr said politicians at both central and local government level needed to be bold. "We need to ask some of the big questions that are deemed to be politically off limits," he said.
At the housing conference, Orr called for challenging conversations and new ideas, including a potential move away from arms-length management organisations to what he called "proper municipal housing companies."
He also said it was time to move the planning system out of the hands of councillors who were "conflicted" between their role in long-term place-shaping and short-term politics.
Planning, he said, should be visionary and implemented by officers, rather than councillors, whose re-election often rested on a tiny number of people, making it difficult to get large-scale housebuilding under way in many parts of the country.
Orr said such a move would not be undemocratic, pointing out that 30 years ago, council housing was allocated by councillors. That had now been delegated to officers and the same should be done with planning, he said.

Channel 5 owner Richard Desmond is to warn that public service broadcasters such as his station and the BBC are over-regulated and face an uncertain future trying to compete against rivals such as BSkyB, Google and Amazon.
Desmond, delivering his first speech since buying Channel 5 three years ago, will say on Thursday that the "playing field is levelled against those of us who are trying to protect the incredible heritage of public service broadcasting".
He will add that some "very big bets" are being made on the future of television by the new wave of internet companies, such as Apple and Google, and deep-pocketed pay-TV companies who do not have to adhere to what he believes are a number of archaic TV regulations that govern the main PSBs – the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
"Some very big bets on the future of television are being made by platforms and operators that don't have any PSB obligations at all," he will say in his first speech to the Royal Television Society Cambridge convention in Cambridge. "BT, Virgin and Sky operate in a way that was never conceived of by the current system of regulation. And giants like Google, Amazon and Apple don't fall within the scope of regulation at all."
Desmond cited examples of what he sees as problems with the regulatory system, such as that PSBs have to pay BSkyB millions of pounds in fees for their channels to run on the satellite platform.
He believes that the reverse should be true, that pay-TV companies such as BSkyB get the lion's share of their audience from channels such as the BBC, Channel 5 and ITV and should pay for the viewing they deliver.
"PSBs should be able to charge pay-TV platforms for the benefits they get from offering the UK's most popular TV channels," he will say.
Desmond will also point to a historical regulation that allows non-PSB channels to air more minutes of advertising per hour.
"The commercial PSBs face limits on advertising minutage that are far too restrictive: we want a level playing field for all channels," he will say.
He will warn that if broadcasters such as Channel 5 are not allowed to effectively compete then they could be put in a position that is "impossible to recover from".
"I am fine with regulation where it is fair and flexible," he will say. "But if it limits growth, stops us being strong and ultimately fails the viewer, then in my view it is wrong. It is easy to jeopardise the future of public service broadcasting, but the effect is impossible to recover from."

Arreola: I came here to win…and it was easy work
Photo: Big Joe Miranda
"I want to thank myself for putting the work in," said heavyweight Chris Arreola after blowing out Seth Mitchell in one round Saturday night at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif. "I worked my ass off in Phoenix preparing for this fight. I respect Seth for his power, but the big difference for me was in training camp."
Arreola's lack of preparation for big fights has been well documented. Coming into the hight, he knew he needed to prove to his team, boxing fans and, most of all, to himself that he was not a shot fighter and certainly no stepping stone for Seth Mitchell.
"I have been my only downfall," he continued. "I should only have one loss on my record. All my other losses are on me for not training properly. But I came here to win tonight. And it was easy work."

8 Sales in 2016 - Prices Climb 16% - Value Still Tops in Keys
Properties coming to the market in Mariner's Club are quickly going to contract at prices not seen in 5 years. Deferred maintenance issues which were a dark mark on this community in recent years have been aggressively attacked and the grounds are looking better then they have in many years. As of January 1, 2016 the HOA and Club have merged. Among other benefits to members will be a total savings of $42,000 per year in taxes currently collected on Club dues. The financial position of the HOA and Club, as well as the 3 Condominium Associations within the community are strong with healthy cash reserve balances. If you have looked at Mariner's Club in the past, and decided not to buy, it is time to look at it again.
Mariner's Club Key Largo Amenities
Mariner's Club beach entry Oasis swimming pool is the largest fresh water pool in the Florida Keys with 7,800 square feet of surface area. A second pool and Grotto Hot Tub and Waterfall, next to the Club House, overlook the Atlantic and offer a second swimming venue. Other amenities include a 43 slip protected deep water marina, 32 slip dry rack boat storage facility, tennis courts, fitness center, Club House, and a 2,000 square foot catering hall with commercial grade kitchen. Adjacent to Mariner's Club is the historic Mandalay Restaurant and Bar that re-opened in February of 2012 and now has remotely contolled gate access for the convenience of Mariner's Club owners and guests.
Buying a Property in Mariner's Club
All Buyers must apply for membership in Mariner's Club HOA, Inc. The membership fee has been $45,000. This one time fee is returned to the member in whole when the property is sold and the new owner purchases a membership at the rate established by the HOA at that time. The old Mariner's Club Key Largo, Inc was merged into the Mariner's Club Home Owners Association, Inc in December of 2015. This was effective January 1, 2016 and the new merged association is called Mariner's Club HOA, Inc.
Of the 118 residences, 67 units were built as townhouses. The townhouses are two or three story residences and interior finishes vary based on choices made by the original or subsequent owners. Buyers of a townhouse own the land it is located on as defined by the property lines. There are a number of configurations available and many include a single car garage or an additional ground level apartment.
Three buildings with a total of 51 additional units are condominiums. If you buy a unit in the Dolphin (100's), Sailfish (300's) or Marlin (500's) Condominium buildings, you must also be a member of that condominium association. The condominiums, also referred to as Villas, are single level residences with upscale marble and granite finishes with stainless appliances. There are two sizes, located on one of three floors. All three condominiums are serviced with a common elevator and have ocean views. A list of additional Luxury Condos and Homes are available on this web site.
Buyers will also be required at closing to make a capital contribution to the Homewners Association, and if applicable, to the Condominum Association in the amount of two (2) quarters of assessments.
Boat Slips in Mariner's Club Marina and Rack Storage
Mariner's Club has one of the finest Florida Keys marinas with wet slips up to 60 feet long. Owners can rent slips by the month both in the Marina and dry rack. Daily rentals for owners are also available. Potential Buyers should contact the Club manager for current rates.
Mariner's Club Fees
There are fees associated with Mariner's Club HOA, Inc., and if applicable, one of the three condominum assoiciations (Dolphin, Sailfish or Marlin). HOA and Condo Association fees are billed quarterly. These fees are detailed on a monthly basis in PDF attachements at the bottom of this page, but they are paid quarterly.
Condominiums and Townhomes for Sale in Mariner's Club
Sales in Mariner's Club have been very brisk over the last six years and the community is undergoing a change in the type of owner. A large percentage of the original owners, especially the condominium owners who bought at the peak of the real estate market in 2005 and 2006, were invesment driven. Some units were sold three times before they were built. Those who have purchased since have tended to be more "end user" oriented and less investment driven.
The top PDF attachment at the bottom of this page lists by building all the residences in Mariner's Club that are for sale through the local real estate Multiple Listings Service (MLS). It also contains a history of all units that were sold since 2010, identifies distressed sales and includes cost per square foot calculations. The properties in Mariner's club have been undervalued since the market dramatically dropped in 2008. The number of distressed properties, issues between the Homeowners and Developers, and percieved complications with the structure of ownership kept these prices down. The savey Buyers who looked past these issues benefited. Mariner's Club property prices are increasing and although they are still below market, the margin is quickly tightening.
Mariner's Club Sales Prices increase 16% from 2015 to 2016
In 2015 11 units were sold in Mariner's Club at an average of $231 per square foot. In 2016, 8 units have been sold at an average of $269 per square foot. This represents a 16% increase in price is just 12 months. Those Buyers who do the math and know the market, understand these listings still represent the best community real estate values in the Keys, even after adding the Club Membership Fee and capital contributions to the cost of the real estate.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
|Randy Moss is just six TD catches away from Jerry Rice's single-season record(Courtesy of NFL.com)
The drive towards an undefeated season was never in question last night as the Patriots easily dismantled the Bills in a 56-10 rout.
Tom Brady threw four TDs to Randy Moss – all in the first half leading to a 35-7 lead at the break – and a third quarter touchdown to Ben Watson as the Patriots never looked in jeopardy of getting trapped by the streaking Bills.
Brady now has 38 TDs and just four interceptions, sitting just 11 away from Peyton Manning's single season record. Brady now owns the franchise record for TD passes in a season and career TD passes. With his 16th TD catch, Moss owns the single season franchise record for TD receptions and is just six away from tying Jerry Rice's NFL single season record of 22.
This game was dominated in all three phases of the game by the Patriots. Though J.P. Losman connected with Roscoe Parrish fora 40 yard touchdown in the first, the Bills would never snap the ball in the Patriots redzone as the defense caused chaos all over the field.
10 down, six to go for a perfect regular season. With the Ravens unable to put many points on the board and the Steelers falling to the previously 1-8 Jets, the Patriots are very close to locking up the AFC East, a first round bye and home field throughout the playoffs. The Patriots played in the first of three consecutive night games. Next Sunday night the Patriots host the Philadelphia Eagles on NBC then travel to Baltimore for Monday Night Football.
