It was a beautiful evening at the ballpark on Aug. 22, 2013, as more than 200 Niagara University students, alumni and employees attended the Buffalo Bisons game against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs at Coca-Cola Field.
For Niagarans, the night was well underway long before the initial crack of the bat. A pregame picnic welcomed the Niagara contingent, a group that eagerly anticipated the game's ceremonial first pitch, as it was being offered by the Rev. James J. Maher, C.M., NU's president since Aug. 1.
Father Maher didn't disappoint, delivering a strike to Buster Bison, the home team's mascot, as the fans (especially in sections 118 and 120) roared with approval.
The Niagara representation continued midway through the second inning, with members of the Niagara University Danceline tossing NU t-shirts into the crowd.
And during the seventh-inning stretch, Phoebe Wright, a junior theatre major at Niagara, sang a resplendent version of "God Bless America."

Having much to celebrate, Hugh Hefner and his ladies were spotted out at Kress restaurant and nightclub in Hollywood, CA last night (October 2).
The "Girls Next Door" star looked stellar in a black suit, and of course had his three girlfriends by his side.
Turning everything into a spectacle, Hugh Hefner and his Playboy bunnies were out in sunny Los Angeles, CA yesterday (September 18).
The 83-year-old and the Playmates were out selling lemonade and Playboy bottled water in order to raise money for the October 18th LA AIDS walk.
Leaving the comforts of his Playboy mansion, Hugh Hefner turned up at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday afternoon (September 12).
Accompanied by girlfriends Karissa Shannon, Kristina Shannon and Crystal Harris, the iconic men's magazine mogul was on-hand for the "Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist And Rebel" screening at the Visa Screening Room at the Elgin Theatre.
Hugh Hefner may have had his fair share of girlfriends, but that didn't stop him from getting divorced - until now.
After more than a decade of separation, Hugh Hefner is now filing for divorce from wife and former Playmate, Kimberly.
As her due date creeps closer, Kendra Wilkinson can't wait to become a mother. And yesterday (September 9) she was honored with a baby shower thrown by her gal pals.
He's definitely known for his ability to host a killer party, and this past Saturday night (August 8) Hugh Hefner opened his luxurious Playboy mansion for his annual Midsummer Night's Dream soiree.
The lavish Greco-Roman party featured a performance by Academy Award Winners Three 6 Mafia and had a guest list as distinguished as they come.
Having multiple girlfriends has never been a problem for Hugh Hefner, telling them apart, however, is a different story.
Enjoying an evening out with his lovely ladies, Hugh Hefner joined Crystal Harris and the Shannon Twins at the 37th Annual AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards last night (June 11).
The Playboy mogul and his three girlfriends were side-by-side as they arrived at Sony Pictures Studios to pose for the paparazzi.

text: GAINESVILLE, Fla., July 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- All charges stemming from consulting work against Dr. Dov Borovsky, a tenured former University of Florida Research Foundation professor who garnered significant media attention for his research and brought in millions of dollars of grant funding to the University over his 36-year career were dropped. The charges in question have since been expunged from Dr. Borovsky's record. Borovsky, a world leader in his field, gained recognition for his discovery and development of an environmentally-friendly mosquito control technology known as TMOF. The University of Florida has been awarded 16 patents for his technology, and UF continues to receive licensing fees for these patents. The University alleged that Dr. Borovsky worked as an outside consultant on university time without completing the proper University of Florida approval forms, and that he failed to properly document to the University three airfare reimbursements from a private company for whom he was consulting. It was determined that only two of the airfares had been erroneously reimbursed to Dr. Borovsky—the third allegation turned out to be completely inaccurate. Dr. Borovsky vehemently denied all the allegations against him, and after further investigation the State Attorney dropped all charges against him. Once Dr. Borovsky was made aware of the administrative oversight and allegations against him, he promptly provided the appropriate documents to the University, demonstrating his willingness to comply with University policy and making clear the fact that any compensation received from the private company rightfully belonged to him personally. The University of Florida was entitled to no portion of these funds. Dr. Borovsky also immediately reimbursed the University for the appropriate amount relating to the airfare charges resulting from the oversight. The mishap that precipitated Dr. Borovsky's charges is indicative of problems with the University failing to effectively outline and communicate policies regarding outside private sector work.

The one match-up here I don't like is the Wakefield start. He shouldn't start in the post-season. The Red Sox can put out a better pitcher. When you have three strong starters, there is no need to start anyone else. On Tuesday, Josh Beckett should pitch on four days rest against Byrd, obviously a would-be great match-up for Boston.
Then Curt Schilling, our definite second-best pitcher, can go on Thursday on five days rest instead of his now planned seven days off.
On Game 6, Dice-K can pitch on five days rest.
This schedule works out perfectly because, if Game 7 is needed, Josh Beckett could start on Sunday with five days rest when he'll be fully rested. The Red Sox will then have used their Ace out three times in one series, an obvious advantage over any other strategy, assuming that, on four days rest, Beckett can be effective. If there is no Game 7, Beckett would be ready for Game 1 of the World Series.
It is still possible if the Red Sox get down early they will move Beckett into a Game 4 start. We'll see. Hopefully it won't have to come to the Red Sox losing to get the pitching schedule changed. Read my blog Theo Epstein!
Tags: ALCS, Cleveland Indians, playoffs
Two thoughts to add…
(1) If Beckett pitches game 4 on short rest, he will need to be restricted in both games 1 and 4. Recent history is filled with excellent pitchers who were not able to bounce back effectively. Very few lasted more than five innings in the second game.
(2) Matsuzaka has pitched poorly on normal rest this year (what you are calling "five days rest" is commonly referred to as "four days rest" in the pitching splits — see baseball-reference.com). He has pitched very well when he gets an extra day between starts, as he did in Japan. Pitching him in games 3/7 allows that extra day of rest. Pitching him in games 3/6 does not.
One alternative would be to pitch:
Beckett, Schilling, Matsuzaka, Beckett, Schilling, Wakefield, Beckett
True that Valentine. Considering how much better Matsuzaka does after 5 days rest you could argue for the schedule to be changed.
After 5 days rest Dice-K is 9-4 with a 3.83 ERA and with 4 days rest he's 5-7 with a 5.29 ERA.
My main goal in making the schedule was to avoid allowing Wakefield to start, getting Beckett in three times, and getting pitchers rest. Wakefield scares me because if he's not on his game he can blow it all up.
Wakefield has had a bad second half with a 5.77 ERA and in the month of September he had a 8.20 ERA. But refering back to how a pitcher does after rest, after 6 days rest career wise Wakefield has a 3.94 ERA in 55 games. I still wouldn't be optimistic about his start.
The Red Sox got Dice-K because he was a big game pitcher. So he needs a chance to be one. I'd fit Dice in for two start.
I'm still sticking with:
Beckett, Schilling, Matsuzaka, Beckett, Schilling, Matsuzaka, Beckett

Nobody could have foreseen either the transformation of Paddington from neglected backwater into glittering commercial paradise, or the triumph of indigenous art.
When a group of unemployed men in their 40s, in a godforsaken desert community, started painting with acrylic on boards and anything else they could get their hands on in the 1970s, nobody guessed they were sparking a great art movement, and a huge industry. Many of those original paintings are now worth big money, and the artists are represented in collections all over the world.
And it didn't stop with the elders of Papunya Tula. The wildfire spread across the Northern Territory to the Kimberleys, into far North Queensland and across Arnhem Land, stoking a creative renaissance in Aboriginal communities as they embraced Western art materials and sought to preserve the lore of a 40,000-year-old oral and pictorial tradition.
Meanwhile in rustic Paddington, what started as a souvenir shop featuring the arts and crafts of Newstead's many bohemian acquaintances (Jenny Kee, Linda Jackson) gradually metamorphosed into a gallery carrying the whole range of indigenous art works, from urban sculptures to the ubiquitous dot paintings.
"I got in on the ground floor of something big," recalls Newstead, 54, "and I travelled with it."
But rather than making a fortune, "I've spent most of the last 20 years doing things for people for nothing," he admits. What has been more important is that the Aboriginal art industry "has been a unique collaboration between white and black people, and it always will be. And I've made some wonderful friends."
The friendships began with Joe Croft (an indigenous artist and Newstead's partner in Coo-ee in the early years), and spread to include father figures like Guboo Ted Thomas, the actor David Gulpilil, and some of the great luminaries of the art movement, from the famous, like Rover Thomas, to the obscure and remote communities at Fitzroy Crossing, Balgo, Yuendumu, Lajamanu and the Spinifex people.
"He's always travelled out to the communities," says Laurie Nilson, "and when I say travel I mean he's driven thousands of miles, just to see the artists, to keep in touch."
"I take trips, but not as many as Adrian," says Gabriella Roy, who runs the Aboriginal and Pacific Gallery in Sydney. "He's been completely dedicated, and helped so many of those communities."
Shirley Collins, an indigenous woman in Darwin who runs her own gallery, Raintree, agrees: "He put a lot of his own personal time and money into it. And he's put more in than he's got back. Those trips are hard work."
Richard Neville, who has known Newstead and his flamboyant wife, Anne, since the '60s, calls him a pioneer. "The social connection between black and white in this country is still largely stiff, shallow, and guilt-ridden. But Adrian has a natural sense of diplomacy. He's genuinely comfortable out in the desert, swagging under the stars. And he has all of these people to stay in his home. The artists appreciate that. In fact I think they love him for it."
Along the way, the friendships have done more than sell paintings. Coo-ee was the first to show Tiwi Islander designs. Since those early days, Tiwi textiles have forged an international profile, as well as a tourist industry.
The links go deeper. Newstead's stepdaughter married a full-blood Aboriginal man from Bathurst Island a couple of years ago. Julie Clarke, who attended the wedding, recalls the "reverence which the Tiwi people have for Adrian and Anne. Such a fantastic, incredible affection. I was knocked out by it."
So why is Newstead closing shop? "I think we've come to the end of a seminal period," he says. "So many of the great desert painters have died in the last year."
Another, underlying factor has been that as the industry has evolved, so have the divisions within it. Newstead has watched the Western concept of individual genius corrupt artists and whole communities. Trapped into the "art star" system, a concept alien to their communal culture, they've been encouraged to churn out paintings, and the quality of the art has suffered. "It's bred a cargo cult, and an avalanche of cargo-cult paintings," he says.
Some of the Aboriginal art world's biggest stars to date, including Emily Kame Kngwarreye and Clifford Possum, have died of exhaustion, pushing out paintings to satisfy the demands of their extended families.
The exceptions, such as Rover Thomas, "a cowboy and a larrikin", according to Newstead, have worked out easier ways to redistribute the wealth. "He dealt with the humbug by playing cards," Newstead recalls. "As long as there were stories and he had fun he'd play all night and allow people to win. It was not unusual for him to go through thousands of dollars of cash in a day. But he had a terrific sense of humour. He used to take his wallet out, and look you straight in the eye, and say, 'whose gonna fill it up today?"'
The other great tragedy of the Aboriginal art boom is that so few dealers recognised the value of the early Papunya Tula paintings.
Take the work of Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula, whose acrylic masterpiece Water Dreaming at Kalipinypa sold for $206,000 in 1997. "It is extraordinary that an Australian work only 10 years old would sell for this price," Sotheby's director of indigenous art, Tim Klingender, said at the time. The sad irony was that Tjupurrula was living in poverty in Alice Springs at the time of the sale.
What Newstead calls the Achilles heel of the industry its complete lack of a co-ordinated marketing structure, including royalties for the artists has been his undoing, too.
By setting up the Australian Indigenous Art Trade Association, Newstead hoped to develop a code of ethics and a structured relationship between artists, communities and buyers. The organisation met with plenty of resistance, mostly from what Laurie Nilson refers to as "the black bureaucrats", and a sort of reconciliation in reverse.
"The government bodies tried to get rid of the white people in the industry," says Nilson. "Adrian extended his hand, and he was knocked back. And it's the artists who are suffering from the brick walls that have been created." Newstead puts it a little more bluntly: "The idea that only black people should be allowed to speak about black people is a load of bullshit," he says.
"I know how hard Adrian's worked," argues Nilson, "as a white fella trying to promote black artists. Which can be a thankless job. It's taken its toll on Adrian because he's a genuine bloke."
Like the indigenous art world itself, Newstead will probably go on shape-shifting. "I can't imagine Adrian without Aboriginal art," says Gabriella Roy. Shirley Collins agrees: "He won't be able to stop."
Indeed, even as he packs up and says goodbye, Newstead is already cooking up new plans. "I want to do much more interesting things, exhibitions which follow dreaming lines from one community to the next," he says, his eyes agleam, his voice continuing, over the sound of hammers and removalists, to articulate a dreaming he shares not just with his indigenous friends, but hopefully with a new generation of white Australians.

Thomas said he is excited about the trip to Hawaii because he went to the islands as a member of the Florida State Seminoles during his freshman year in college.
The Cubs drafted Thomas in the third round after his junior season in 2007, and he batted .266 with 30 doubles this season, winning series MVP with an 8-for-17 performance against Fort Myers that propelled Daytona to a Florida State League title.
Thomas said that already knowing the players from the Cubs' system that will accompany him to Hawaii would help make for a smooth transition.
"It's going to be a very good thing," he said.
Thomas will be joined by Smith, who began the year at Class Low-A Peoria before earning a promotion to Daytona. He was the Cubs' home run leader in the minor leagues for a while this season and finished with 17 home runs and a .278 average.
Smith was an eighth-round Cubs draft pick from Clemson in 2007.
From the pitching side, Papelbon finished the season 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA in 73 2/3 innings. The left-hander did not allow an earned run from June 11 through the remainder of the season – a string of over 35 consecutive scoreless innings.
He was placed on the disabled list in late August with a blister on his pitching finger.
"It'll be pretty cool to go to Hawaii," Papelbon said. "I was talking to my brother, Jonathan, the other day and told him I was going. He said it was awesome and that he wished he could have gone when he was in the minor leagues."
Chicago drafted Papelbon in the 19th round in 2006.
Parker joined Daytona as a mid-season call-up from Peoria and combined to go 4-2 with a 1.98 ERA in 68 2/3 innings between the Florida State and Midwest League's. The Cubs drafted Parker from Arkansas in 2006.
It is unclear which of the four teams the Cubs players will play for. Hawaii Winter Baseball is scheduled to begin play on Saturday, Sept. 27.

Ouali rebuilding in Belgium
Photo: Eva Asdou
Long-time welterweight contender Said Ouali (28-4, 20 KOs) is currently preparing for his next fight in his native Belgium. Ouali was born in Morocco but his family moved to Belgium when he was only a few months old so Belgium is home for Ouali. He has been on the brink of world title fights multiple times but is still trying to get over that final hump. Ouali was promoted quite some time by long-time friend Floyd Mayweather's Mayweather Promotions. As reported initially on Fightnews, Ouali will return to the ring September 21st versus Sweden-based Karlo Tabaghua (18-3, 13 KOs). Belgium-based BFN GROUP will promote the event.
The bout is significantly important for Ouali as it will be for the vacant IBF Inter-Continental welterweight title. A win for Ouali will likely return him to the world rankings of the IBF. Ouali was dropped from their rankings for the most part because he has not fought in what will be about year come fight night. In his last fight in September 2011 he was stopped by Carson Jones. The ringside physician advised that the bout should be halted at the end of the seventh round as Ouali was unable to see out of his right eye. That loss that doesnt look so bad now after Jones gave unbeaten Kell Brook all he could handle before dropping a very close decision in Brook's native UK.
You scored your biggest win as a professional over then 33-1 and highly ranked Hector Saldavia of Argentina by first round stoppage in 2010. The bout was a WBA welterweight title eliminator. Why did you not fight the current WBA world champion at that time Vyacheslav Senchenko in your next fight?
First off I would like to say that if my cut man had any Enswell for the Carson Jones fight I feel I would have won. However, that wasn't the case but that's a thing from the past. Saldivia was my biggest win and before the fight, they promised me the fight against the Ukrainian kid (Senchenko). My fight with Saldivia opened up the May 1st HBO PPV show featuring Mayweather vs Sugar Shane Mosley. I dropped Saldivia twice in the first round and went on to win by first round stoppage. The reason why I never got the fight against Senchenko? That is a question you need to ask Leonard Ellerbe of Mayweather Promotions. He promised me the fight but I never got it. When September 2010 came and there still was no word about the fight, I knew at that point that they were not working on it. Boxing is a team sport and I did my part by stopping my opponent in less than a round. I heard so many different things as to why I never got the world title fight at that time but I refused to believe any of it just because the fact that I believe in teamwork and loyalty.
You fought under the promotional banner of arguably the biggest name in boxing in Floyd Mayweather Jr's Mayweather Promotions. Did you feel pressured with expectations to not only win but win impressively each fight while with that promoter?
There will always be pressure but with pressure comes performance. That's what I say. When the lights shine you have to shine back otherwise you get burned. I shined under the pressure but when the world title opportunity didn't come for me after the Saldivia fight I lost my trust.
You have fought at or near the 147 pound welterweight limit for your 12 year professional career. Can you still comfortably make the weight?
I have no problem making 147 and can go as low as 145 pounds.
Why have you decided to rebuild your career and get it back on track in your native Belgium?
Belgium is where this next fight offer came from and I took it with both hands. It's against a decent fighter for the IBF intercontinental welterweight title so I didn't want to refuse that.
There is a large Belgian Moroccan population in Belgium who came out to support you for your fight with now current IBF world champion Randall Bailey. Do you anticipate a sell out crowd for your event in September?
( Bailey ducked Ouali punches in round 2 and then lifted Ouali who lost his balance and fell over the top rope. Ouali landed hard outside the ring on his neck on a table and was unable to continue in the fight. The fight was ruled a no contest )
I really feel that we can sell out the place knowing that we almost sold out the last event here in Belgium without any promotion. This fight will be well promoted by professional people in the BFN GROUP. The one thing you can't deny is that Europeans are sports minded and will support you till the end. I expect an awesome crowd with an awesome performance.
How big would a rematch between you and Bailey be in Belgium should you win your next fight in September and if he is still world champion at that time?
I'm sure you heard this before but I would never like to look past my next opponent and Bailey has his own chicken to fry possibly with Devon Alexander. Saying that, of course that would be a fight I would want and would be a huge fight in Belgium.

UPDATE: Crash Leads To Fight, Charges
A motorcycle crash in north Omaha leads to an all-out brawl.
Police say a car clipped a motorcycle near 42nd and Miami Sunday night. The driver, Eric Sandoval, had stopped at a stop sign and turned onto 42nd. Investigators say the motorcyclist, Daryll Woods, was speeding, locked up his brakes and fell from the bike, which slid into the car's rear passenger tire. Woods suffered a broken leg and arm.
Sandoval originally stopped to help when he was approached by a large crowd, which began threatening him. Fearing for his safety Sandoval left the scene and went home... but was followed by the crowd who continued threatening him. Sandoval returned to the scene and was assaulted by the crowd shortly before police arrived.
Police arrested Daniel Randle and Alonzo Williams for misdemeanor assault and disturbing the peace.
The investigation continues.

Do you ask his ex?

Do you start from scratch and pray that he is sane?
I think a person's past is very important to know, especially if this is someone you're getting romatically involved with. The past often predicts the future. It lets you know what sort of person they are. As the saying goes: those who refuse to learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it.
Ask him, and listen to what he says. If he has discrepancies in his past, then ask him to clarify. If it still doesn't make sense to you, or you think he's lying, then I'd dump him. I wouldn't bother trying to get info from other sources, like family or ex-girlfriends. They will all have their own agenda and their best interests in mind, not yours.
My uncle has serious mental problems.
Hear that crash? It's me falling off the CG wagon.
I learned the hard way, that if he calls all his ex's psycho *****es, then he is probably the psycho. If he blames others for his mental, financial, physical problems then he may be a loser.
What do you feel you need to find out about him & why do you feel there may be something wrong with him?

The NSA Intercepts French Phone Calls
In LeMonde today, Glenn Greenwald has a new NSA powerpoint story, this time about the NSA intercepting 70 million French phone calls over a 30-day period.
France is angry. For the rest of us, it's unclear how big a story this is exactly. It's a story about the NSA spying internationally, not domestically. Allies aren't supposed to spy on each other, but they do, and when they get caught doing it ambassadors make apologies, which is the part of the story we're entering now.
On Twitter, the ACLU's Christopher Soghoian speculates that these were probably international calls, rather than domestic ones.
If NSA can intercept 70mil French domestic calls a month, the French have a serious security problem. More likely international calls.— Christopher Soghoian (@csoghoian) October 21, 2013
And reporter Joshua Foust points out that a leak like this doesn't seem designed to prompt intel reform.
— joshuafoust (@joshuafoust) October 21, 2013
It'll be interesting to see what pattern further Snowden leaks follow. I wonder if we've learned most of what we're going to learn about domestic US spying, and if the rest of the material will be more similar to the Wikileaks cables: windows into the world of spying and diplomacy that have ramifications internationally but prompt less discussion in the US.
Also! On this week's show we spoke to Jay Rosen about Glenn Greenwald's new media outfit. If you're interested in his post-Guardian plans, that interview's here:

Guidelines for the Philanthropic Response of World Jewry to a Crisis in Israel
Israel Trauma Coalition for Response and Preparedness, Reut Institute, May 2011
This document is an annex to the conceptual framework Civil Resilience Network--National and Local Resilience in Israel, which was a product of the partnership between the Reut Institute and the Israel Trauma Coalition (ITC). It offers guidelines for those individuals, foundations, or organizations that aim, through their philanthropy, to either increase Israel's resilience or help Israel respond better to crisis. The context for this paper is that while philanthropists can and should play a significant role in enhancing the preparedness of Israel's civil society, during future crises it may be harder for them to raise funds within their communities and spend them effectively in Israel. Hence the need to prepare.

The Open
Rolex and golf
Located on the western coast of Scotland, Royal Troon was founded in 1878 and The Open was first staged there in 1923. It is home to both the longest and shortest holes in Open Championship golf and is considered one of the top courses in the world. Royal Troon's typical windswept links is providing a true test of golfing skill and ability for the ninth time in the championship's history.
Day-Date 40
The Oyster Perpetual
In 1956, the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date made its debut. Available only in 18 ct gold or platinum, it was the first wristwatch to display the date and day of the week spelt out in full in a window on the dial. With the President bracelet, originally created specially for it, the Day-Date continues to be the watch par excellence of influential people.
Jason Day
The Open
Jason Day has scaled the ranks of golfing talent, and now stands as one of the favorites to win the 2016 Open at Royal Troon. In February 2014, the Australian won his first World Golf Championship title, and followed up in 2015 with his first victory in a Major at the PGA Championship. He is the current World Number 1 in the Official World Golf ranking, Day has proved that he has what it takes to be among golf's greats.
Jordan Spieth
The Open
The year 2015 was a defining one for Jordan Spieth as he made history, at the age of 22, as the second youngest player to win two consecutive Majors. More top-level finishes crowned a season that heralded the making of a golf legend. Spieth now stands as one of the front-runners in the game's ultimate challenge, The 2016 Open at Royal Troon. A true champion, Spieth is ready to make history yet again.
Jack Nicklaus
The Open
Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus won his first Open in 1966 in Muirfield, Scotland. He went on to win two more Claret Jugs at the Old Course in St. Andrews, writing himself into the history of a championship that inspired him to new heights. A master of golf's majors, Nicklaus is one of the greatest golfers of all times, holding the record for most Majors won in golf history with 18 victories.
Phil Mickelson
The Open
Phil Mickelson's 2013 Open victory marked the pinnacle of an already brilliant golfing career. "It's a special moment to be part of the great history of this championship, and a tremendous accomplishment for me and my career to win the event that has been my biggest challenge, and finally capture the Claret Jug," said Mickelson after his victory. With five Major championships titles, the US golfer is one of the top contenders for The 2016 Open at Royal Troon.

Shovers Inducted Into Iowa 4-H Foundation Hall of Fame
Larry and Nancy Shover, of Delaware County, were inducted into the 2013 Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the 4-H Exhibits Building at the Iowa State Fair on Sunday, Aug. 18. Eighty-three Iowa counties participated this year and selected 110 inductees for their outstanding service and dedication to 4-H. Inductees were presented a certificate by the Iowa 4-H Foundation as they were introduced on stage and honored at a reception following the ceremony.
Over the years Larry and Nancy Shover together have been active supporters of 4-H, serving as founders and leaders of the Tri-Town Hoyas 4-H Club, Delaware County Youth Committee members, county dairy project leaders, 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl coaches and much more which resulted in the couple being named recipients of the Meritorious Service to 4-H Award in Delaware County for their dedication over the years to the local 4-H program.
A member of Delaware County 4-H since he was a boy, Larry grew up in a 4-H family and continued the tradition with his own family, receiving the 4-H Alumni Award. He has served on the Delaware County Extension Council and the Iowa State Extension Advisory Committee.
The Shovers, who continue to be active with 4-H, say that they have been blessed by the many fine people they have known and worked with in 4-H.
Counties select inductees for their exceptional work in contributing to the lives of 4-H members and the overall 4-H program, said Michaela Collins, Delaware County Extension County Youth Coordinator. Many inductees served as club leaders, youth mentors, fair superintendents or fair board members, Iowa State University Extension county council members, county youth council members, fair judges, financial supporters, chaperones or ISU Extension and Outreach staff members. The inductees have demonstrated dedication, encouragement, commitment and guidance to Iowa's 4-H'ers through the years.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for the counties and state to recognize and celebrate 4-H volunteers and staff who have shown outstanding service and dedication to Iowa's 4-H program," said Chris Gleason, 4-H youth program specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach.
The Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame was initiated in 2002 to help commemorate the 100th anniversary of 4-H. A display of previous honorees was available for viewing at the 2013 Iowa State Fair in the 4-H Exhibits Building.
Information about 2013 inductees and previous inductees to the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame is available on the Iowa 4-H Foundation website, organized by year and by county. Go to http://www.iowa4hfoundation.org/ and select "Recognition."

FOREX-Meagre gains for dollar before central bank speeches
* Dollar inches higher with U.S. yields as oil gains for third day
* Push by Republicans for 3-month debt limit increase buoys markets * MSCI world share index rises to highest since May 2011 * China growth data initially boosts global recovery outlook * Japan's yen drops vs dollar, U.S. government debt higher By Herbert Lash NEW YORK, Jan 18 World equity and oil prices rebounded on Friday after U.S. House Republican leaders said they would seek to break a budget impasse next week, while the yen was lower against the U.S. dollar ahead of potential asset purchases by the Bank of Japan. Brent and U.S. crude futures rose in choppy trading on news that the House of Representatives will consider a bill to raise the U.S. debt ceiling enough to allow the country to pay its bills for another three months. Stocks on Wall Street also pared losses on news of the new Republican strategy, though the Nasdaq remained under water. Earlier, stocks had faltered on a survey that showed U.S. consumer sentiment at its lowest in over a year in January and a disappointing earnings outlook from chipmaker Intel. "After feeling some pressure from the weak consumer sentiment data, crude popped back a bit on the possibility of movement on the debt ceiling," said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment came in at 71.3, down from 72.9 the month before. The index was at its lowest since December 2011. Omer Esiner, a chief market analyst at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange in Washington said the consumer confidence numbers would be closely scrutinized, given the still-uncertain impact of higher payroll taxes on the consumer. "This is a big miss and could mark the beginning of a downward trend in sentiment and in spending," Esiner said. Shares of Intel Corp slumped 6.9 percent to $21.11 a day after it forecast quarterly revenue below analysts' estimates and announced plans for increased capital spending amid slow demand for personal computers. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 34.06 points, or 0.25 percent, at 13,630.08. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 3.05 points, or 0.21 percent, at 1,483.99. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 4.17 points, or 0.13 percent, at 3,131.83. Americans' anxiety about the economy undercut optimism from upbeat U.S. housing data earlier this week, reviving some safe-haven bids for government debt. The U.S. benchmark 10-year Treasury note ticked up 10/32 in price to yield 1.8469 percent. Disappointing U.K. economic data helped pushed European shares downward. The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top shares closed 0.16 percent lower at 1,163.64. China reported that its economy grew at a slightly faster-than-expected 7.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, a clear sign it has avoided a sharp economic slowdown, though the annual growth rate was its weakest in 13 years. The China data came on top of strong U.S. labor and housing market reports on Thursday, providing fresh impetus to a broad rally in equities, precious metals and commodities since the start of the year. MSCI's index of leading world shares hit its highest level since May 2011 at 351.70, but later gave back some gains to trade up at 351.67. Spot gold retreated $2.26 to $1,685.00 an ounce. Oil supply disruption fears were reinforced by the Islamic militant attack and hostage-taking at a gas plant in Algeria, a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Lack of progress from another round of talks between the United Nations' nuclear agency and Iran about Tehran's nuclear program also pushed prices higher. Brent crude rose 79 cents to settle at $111.89 barrel, while U.S. oil settled 7 cents higher $95.56 a barrel. Sources familiar with the BOJ's thinking told Reuters the central bank, under relentless pressure from Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, will consider making an open-ended commitment to buy assets until 2 percent inflation is in sight. "This is a big deal," said Jens Nordvig, global head of currency strategy at Nomura Securities in New York. "But as always from a trading perspective, it matters greatly what is already priced," he added. The euro last traded 0.23 percent lower against the yen at 119.96 yen, down from 120.70 earlier - its highest since May 2011. The euro was also down against the dollar, falling 0.43 percent on the day to $1.3317.
* Dollar inches higher with U.S. yields as oil gains for third day
LONDON, June 26 Emerging stocks touched two-week highs on Monday thanks to strong gains across Asia, a one percent oil price rise and a flat dollar, while Chinese mainland shares were boosted by encouraging comments from index provider MSCI.
LONDON, June 23 World stocks could be about to record their best start to a year since 1998, when global markets were recovering from the Asian crisis, while oil and the dollar are facing their worst first-half in years.

Update on Hi-Flow water pump
I wanted to let everyone know about my Milodon (Made in Viet Nam) after-market water pump installation and the results.
Its definitely a welcome add-on that improves water circulation and decreases the time it takes to warm up the engine. I also added a 180 degree thermostat. It heats up to 180-185 degrees, on the money, and it parks there even in idle and bumper to bumper. Its a great improvement over the OEM pump that was on the truck. Its a new one, and I paid $80 (free shipping) at Summit for this one, and I am completely satisfied.
BTW, I am using a cheapie SunPro gauge set, and I must also add that this was a very good minor investment (some $39 at Advance). These gauges are accurate as all heck. I was totally surprised to see this kind of accuracy out of cheapie parts.
I have some pics I will post of the 351-C with the front end pulled off. You can clearly see the differences between the Cleveland engines and the other Ford engines with the front end off. Its real handy that you can replace the front seal without dropping the pan.
I found a few surprises, when I did this. It seems there were two seperate engine "mod" sessions. The most recent was the monkey swap that I am perenially trying to correct as I go along.
But I also discovered a more sophisticated hand at work. I see what looks like replaced head gaskets. I also noticed that the timing cover has been removed and resealed with some "blue" poly sealant. This is the same sealant that was used for the valve cover gaskets and the intake manifold. Because this looks so recent and well done, I did not remove the timing cover to replace the gasket. I just replaced the water pump. If anyone might preadventure a guess as to what might have been done in this "more serious" engine rehab, please advise.
Another note to this matter...I have toyed with the timing off and on, but there is ONLY ONE setting that works, and that is the stock 8 degrees BTDC. Any other timing setting, advanced or retarded, even as little as 2 degrees, will either destroy the idle or cause serious "pinging". I don't have a problem with 8 BTDC, but I found it unusual that it is so tight, and there is no range whatsoever. This is not an engine you can "dial-in" by ear...you have to use the instruments. But aside from this, when it is on 8 BTDC, it runs and idles beautifully.
Among my other discoveries: an OEM fan pulley stamped 1972, an OEM alternator bracket stamped 1970, another OEM alternator bracket stamped 1971, and an OEM power steering bracket stamped 1973. This goes along with the OEM exhaust manifold stamp of 1972, and the totally wrong OEM 1973 intake manifold. This vehicle reminds me of the old Johnny Cash song, "One Piece at a Time."
So far, the truck has a combination of 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1979 pieces and parts. WIth these recent discoveries, I am going to do a little inspecting underneath to see what other date stamps show up. I am sticking to all upgrades and settings to the 1970 model year which seems to be working fine.

The Nicki Minaj Weight Loss Secret You Want To Know
Rapper Nicki Minaj is renowned for her controversial song lyrics and eccentric on-stage performances, but she is also recognized for her tiny waist and curvaceous figure.
However, late last year Nicki Minaj made headlines when she experienced a sudden weight gain! The starlet claimed she is just incapable of following diets: the single thought that she should drop some weight made her eat even more!
Amazingly, in just a few months Minaj has dropped the weight and then some as she recently debuted her leanest, sexiest figure yet!
So is Nicki Minaj one of many celebrities who may have taken advantage of the revolutionary natural fat burning power of the Green Naturals Garcinia Cambogia to achieve this unprecedented weight loss success?

KTA ground-breaking
File photos from the 1954 ground-breaking of the Kansas Turnpike in Lawrence.
The planning is over and so is the ceremonial groundbreaking.
Now comes the work.
Next month, heavy equipment will be fired up and work will start on $130 million worth of new bridges and turnpike interchange improvements in Lawrence.
Local leaders, Kansas Turnpike Authority officials and engineers gathered Thursday afternoon on the Kansas River levy in North Lawrence for a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the project's beginning.
"We are celebrating the value of this roadway to the economy of Kansas," said Mary Turkington, KTA Board chairwoman. "It really has contributed to that and will continue to do that."
It will be the most massive and most expensive project in turnpike's 52-year history, and it will take up to three and a half years to complete, the authority's president, Michael Johnston said.
The contractor for the project, Hamm Inc., of Perry, can begin work June 4.
But 12 days later - June 16 - the headaches begin for local motorists. That's when the westbound entrance to the Interstate 70 turnpike will be closed at the West Lawrence toll plaza. That means no traffic traveling west on the turnpike can exit. And no traffic can enter the turnpike to head west.
During the next eight months, westbound motorists will have to enter at the East Lawrence toll plaza or the Lecompton interchange at I-70 and the South Lawrence Trafficway.
New bridges
The project includes two new bridges over the Kansas River.
Construction will start on a new westbound bridge, which will be built just north of the existing bridge.
Once the new span is completed - likely in late 2009 - all traffic will move to that bridge. It's large enough to accommodate both eastbound and westbound vehicles until another bridge is complete. At that time, the east Lawrence toll plaza will be closed to all traffic for eight months. A new, bigger plaza will be built.
The final phase of construction will come in 2011 with completion of the new eastbound bridge and resurfacing along the two-mile corridor between the two interchanges.
The new bridges are being built because the old ones will be at the end of their structural life by 2012, Johnston said.
"We're not doing this because we want to but because we have to," Johnston said. "We're making some other improvements in Lawrence that will be much better for our customers."
What's the latest?
A Web site has been set up to keep the public informed about the construction process. There is a link along the left side of the Web page where people can sign up to receive e-mail updates about the project.
"The KTA has done a great job of notifying the community about what is going to need to happen," Lawrence Mayor Mike Dever said.
Dever and Douglas County Commissioner Jere McElhaney said the turnpike improvements will benefit the area economy by making it easier for more vehicles to get on and off the turnpike.
The turnpike project is the biggest construction job Hamm has taken on, president Rod Hamm said. Previously, the firm's largest project was the $65 million Oakland Expressway in Topeka. Hamm also was contractor for the $55 million widening of the turnpike from Lecompton to Topeka.
"It will be exciting," Hamm said of the Lawrence project. "It's close to home, and we enjoy working with the turnpike."

One of my favourite styles of drawing is using inks. I will often do a rough pencil in of whatever it is that I want drawn, then do the fine details afterwards with the inks. In some instances the ink needs to be put in using a very fine brush. Other times I can use a traditional nib pen, much like a calligraphy pen.
When doing something like the butterfly this is the exact methods that I used. The butterfly and Celtic knot-work were both penciled in carefully and very lightly. This gave the shape and dimensions that I wanted on these. Then, I decided on the colours. The butterfly, of course, was decided for me, since it was done from a photograph and the colours of the butterfly are already chosen for me. Whether you call it Nature or God, the beauty of the colours are already there, all I had to do was copy it as closely as possible with the tools I have at my disposal.
The next thing is, of course, choosing the colours that work with the natural colours of the butterfly. In this case I decided to do a very small landscape drawing as part of the whole endeavour. This was done entirely with inks and no pencil was used for this.
With the knotwork I colour the whole thing first, then do the outlines. This helps to keep it cleaner looking at the end. The interior of the knotwork is painted with the ink, but the outer edge is done using a pen with a nib that is dipped into the ink. There are some very fine drawing points available for this kind of ink work. I do recall once being stuck because my nib broke, so I actually used a pin. It doesn't work nearly as well, because a nib has a reservoir that holds some ink above the drawing point and allows it to flow down as the ink on the tip is depleted. That makes it a lot easier and quicker when drawing.

Research interests. I am interested in complex
analytical dynamical systems and applications of mathematics within
When a systems evolves with time in a way that can be described mathematically, then one calls it a dynamical system. The motion of the planets in the solar system, and the balance of an savings account from term to term when interest is applied, are two examples of dynamical systems. In the first example, time varies continuously, whereas in the second time jumps from term to term. In the latter case, we say time is discrete. I am interested in dynamical systems where time is discrete, the state is given by one or more complex numbers, and the rule dictating the evolution of the system is a complex analytic function.
It turns out, that complex analytical dynamical systems can behave in two different ways. In an orderly fashion where you can make long term predictions, and in a chaotic fashion where long terms predicitons are impossible. This dichotomy between order and chaos gives rise to complicated geometric figures known as fractals. The study of dynamical systems and fractals is an exciting field where algebra and geometry, as well as analysis and combinatorics meet.
There are many applications of mathematics, you can even consider the natural sciences as applied mathematics, and not surprisingly mathematics also play an important role within industry. It fascinates me, how classical mathematics is useful in a tecnical context. Whether it is geometry, statistics, dynamical systems or something else entirely is not important to me; that it can be instrumental in finding solutions is what matters.
European Study Groups with Industry, ESGI, is a good example where mathematics can contribute to industry, and industry can supply good problems to mathematics. In a study group, industry representatives pose problems to industry and then work together with a group of mathematicians intensively for a week on solving these problems. Afterwards reports are written describing the progress made. In my experience both industry representatives and mathematicians learn a lot from these sessions.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The Marist football team (7-3 overall, 6-1 Pioneer Football League) will play its last regular season game against Mercer (9-1, 5-1) on Saturday. Prior to the game, the program will hold its annual Senior Day ceremony to honor the senior players. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Tenney Stadium.
A win for Marist would secure at least a share of the program's first Pioneer Football League championship, and would also set the program's record for wins in a season. The Red Foxes also remain in contention for the PFL's first automatic bid to the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
On Thursday, San Diego announced that it was withdrawing from consideration for the PFL title and FCS automatic qualifier. The Toreros are one of four teams with just one loss in PFL play, a list that also includes Butler in addition to Marist and Mercer.
A Marist win on Saturday, coupled with a Butler loss at Morehead State, would give the Red Foxes the PFL's automatic bid to the playoffs. If both Marist and Butler win, the teams will be tied in both PFL record and record against common opponents.
On Friday, the PFL released the league's revised tiebreakers, as well as an updated tiebreaker scenario.
Last Saturday, Marist traveled to Campbell and recorded a 55-28 victory over the Camels. Fifth-year senior defensive end Terrence Fede (Nyack, N.Y.) recorded a sack and now holds the program's all time record in that category with 29.5. Senior linebacker Paul Sakowski (Chester, N.Y.) led the Red Foxes with nine tackles. Senior running back Atiq Lucas (Coram, N.Y.) ran for 174 yards and three touchdowns, and earned a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) College Football Performance Award for his efforts in the game. Senior quarterback Chuckie Looney (Ocala, Fla.) threw for 280 yards and four scores, and fifth-year senior wide receiver Bartley Leneghan (North Royalton, Ohio) had 145 yards receiving on five receptions, as well as two touchdowns.
Mercer defeated Jacksonville last Saturday 45-42, overcoming a double-digit second-half deficit. A pair of fourth quarter touchdowns secured the win for the Bears. Quarterback John Russ' combined five touchdowns earned him the title of Pioneer Football League Offensive Player of the Week. Russ went 11-for-23 through the air for 217 yards and three touchdowns, and rushing 145 yards and two scores on the ground. The Bears are playing their first season of football since 1941, and were picked 11th in the PFL Preseason Poll.
Fans can listen live to Ed Weir (play-by-play) and Geoff Brault (color) beginning at 12:45 p.m. EDT. The contest will be air live on Rock 93-3 FM in Poughkeepsie, the Red Fox Network and iHeartRadio, and video will be carried on the Red Fox Network for a subscription fee.

The Russian Orthodox Church is preparing for a reform of its liturgical language, and a draft document on the role of Church Slavonic in modern church life has been circulated among dioceses and is available for discussion on the internet.
"Church Slavonic is a very important means to keep unity and traditions inside the Church. But on the other hand, understanding of liturgical texts written in Church Slavonic may be simplified," a senior Church official, Archimandrite Kirill, said on Monday.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/3/2013 (1574 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG — Manitoba doctors will be able to treat some forms of breast cancer five weeks quicker than they do now because of a new diagnostic tool unveiled on Tuesday.
The machine will eliminate the need to send away hundreds of tissue samples to Ontario each year for analysis.
Health Minister Theresa Oswald told a news conference at St. Boniface General Hospital Tuesday that the new device will play an important role in a $40-million strategy, unveiled in June 2011, to reduce wait times for cancer treatment. The strategy, based on a British model, seeks to reduce the time from when a general practitioner suspects a patient has cancer to the beginning of treatment to under 60 days.
"This is a game-changer here in Manitoba for a very specific kind of breast cancer," Oswald said of the new molecular technology that will shrink the wait time to diagnose some of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer and dictate which drugs should be used in treatment.
Jim Slater, chief executive officer of Diagnostic Services of Manitoba (DSM), said the new diagnostic technology is the future in cancer tissue analysis. "By bringing this state-of-the art test home, we are able to provide high-quality testing procedures to assist in patient care and cut the wait time for results from six weeks down to approximately one week for the hundreds of Manitobans who (need it each year)."
The new machine, which costs $125,000, is used to conduct a secondary test following an initial diagnosis of breast cancer. In about 25 to 30 per cent of breast cancer cases, further testing is required to detect and analyze a specific protein called HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor) to identify which treatment would be the most effective. That testing will now all be done in Winnipeg.
The diagnostic device unveiled Tuesday received regulatory approval in 2012. DSM purchased the technology and its staff underwent intensive training over nine months before the machine came into service earlier this year.
Quick, accurate diagnostic tests are crucial to the patient — and cost-effective for the taxpayer.
Dr. Dhali Dhaliwal, president and CEO of CancerCare Manitoba, said a drug used to treat one aggressive form of breast cancer can cost up to $60,000 to administer. "So you really do not want to give it to those who will not benefit," he said.
Meanwhile, Oswald also announced that the province will begin this year to convert its 20 analog mammography machines — including two mobile ones — to digital technology. This will speed testing and make it easier for doctors to consult with specialists. Officials did not have a cost estimate for the new mammography machines on Tuesday.
The Opposition Progressive Conservatives said it's about time the province adopted the new digital technology. "We have been calling on this NDP government to introduce digital mammography in Manitoba for six years," Tory health critic Cameron Friesen said.
"While other provinces began embracing this new technology years ago, our health minister allowed Manitoba to lag behind," he said, adding that Manitoba is the last province to introduce digital mammography in breast cancer screening programs.
Each year, more than 6,100 Manitobans are diagnosed with cancer. Up to 10 times that number are suspected of having cancer and undergo testing before it is ruled out.

Posted on November 05, 2012 in Perspectives
By Andrew Henry
By Thomas Collier
On the day students return to campus this January from winter break, the air will be fresh, clean and crisp. The campus will be completely tobacco-free because of a ban, and I'll be across the street, smoking.
The reasons for the ban are understandable: smoking stinks, makes it easier to catch airborne illnesses, causes cancer and polluting fumes pose a health threat to others. Smoking is bad. One should not, however, take this to mean that smokers themselves are bad because they enjoy a cigarette now and again – an association that seems to be drawn, however unintentionally, by many nonsmokers.
Smokers aren't really a close-knit group, and I've yet to meet a person who is very passionate about the act of smoking. We're not like beer nerds or oenophiles or even cigar aficionados: we smoke because we like to smoke, but that's about as far as it goes. That said, the smoking ban that USM intends to put in place next semester will surely bring smokers together in some fashion, whether it be in an off-campus huddle to stay warm in the cold weather or as part of some sort of smoketastic protest. If university administrators think that the smoking ban will encourage students and staff to quit smoking, I suspect that they are in for a disappointment. Smokers can and will smoke elsewhere. I don't say this because I'm a proud smoker, for I am not, but because I know, unlike many of those who agree with the smoking ban, what it is that makes smoking enjoyable and precisely how difficult of a habit it is to quit.
Most people are aware of the health risks of smoking and of being around smokers while they smoke. One would posit that fear of contact with second-hand smoke is perhaps the biggest reason for USM's smoking ban. Yet again, allow me to iterate that this is an entirely understandable concern. I don't want to give anyone cancer. One may wish to consider, however, that the carcinogens produced in tobacco combustion are little different from those produced in a bonfire or household hearth. In fact, studies have shown that wood combustion – just as it occurs in a fireplace, for instance – actually releases more carcinogens and mutagens that are up to 40 times more harmful than those found in cigarette smoke; yet, we don't put our wood stoves and fireplaces across the street, do we? If an individual can detect the wonderful scent of burning wood – a scent so often associated with winter and the holiday season – that person may be at a greater risk of developing lung-related health issues than if he or she were to come into contact with second-hand cigarette smoke
Why should the university, a public state institution, dictate what its paying students are allowed to do with their own bodies? I'll make the concession that smoking is an offensive bad habit, that smokers should be isolated from nonsmokers so that the air around campus may remain free of harmful pollutants, but I fail to see how it's the university's business whether or not a student may use a product as inoffensive as smokeless tobacco. If disposed of considerately, smokeless tobacco poses absolutely no risk to any individual other than its user. It certainly isn't a safe product by any stretch of the mind, but its mode of consumption renders it completely innocuous to tobacco-free students, faculty and staff.
Complete tobacco prohibition would make sense if USM were attended mostly by children, but as nearly every attending student and staff member is an adult, the very idea is honestly a bit ridiculous. We don't need to hold hands to cross the street. We needn't be required to wear knee pads in case we fall. We are aware of the risks of smoking and those of other quotidian activities. We can make our own choices, and we will.
Though I'm dismayed by the institution's upcoming tobacco ban, one shouldn't assume that the currently implemented smoking policy is otherwise satisfactory or any less deserving of disappointment. Why, for instance, don't smokers have well-positioned smoking areas? Currently there are not, nor have there ever been, convenient or obvious places for students and staff to smoke. Apparently, designated smoking areas do currently exist, but they are so far removed from the typical smoking spots and so poorly marked that it's no surprise that students keep smoking in the same areas as they always have. Perhaps if the university worked to accommodate these smokers – students, faculty and staff – instead of treating them like inferiors without any say in university policy, this tobacco issue would not be an issue.

Hi, I just started using Retin-A 0.1% as an anti-aging treatment my skin feels fine--no burning, etc.
On other sites they say, 0.025% Retin-A is for anti-aging while 0.1% is for acne. Is it okay for me to use 0.1% cream and will I see the same or better anti-aging results?

Considering raw
Right now my 2 month old is on purina puppy but I've been seeing bad reviews all over the place. I plan on changing his diet to a better brand food but the raw diet is really intriguing. What are some suggestions? I have half a bag left to make a decision.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Use your 1/2 bag to phase in another, rather than just stopping suddenly and then starting on something new. By combining the 2 you are slowly introducing a new product to your pup with the result being no or minimal diarrhoea, tummy upsets etc.
From what I can remember Purina is an average brand, there are other better brands to choose from but this does depend on your budget. Look for one with 'meal' as the first ingredient, eg chicken meal, salmon meal etc.
If you are interested in raw, again I would slowly phase this into pups diet. I do raw in the evenings (used to be morning but can't face raw meat at this hour anymore LOL) and grain free kibble soaked in water for 20 minutes in the morning.
With puppies and raw, start with one protein at a time eg chicken necks, wings, carcass etc.
Also, consider switching to adult version of your chosen kibble - grow your puppy slowly
Dog Food Reviews and Ratings | Dog Food Advisor
Just saw this post
Sold on raw now
Sounds like the puppies were much better when 'bibaxt' changed to raw.
I would also try Eukanuba. It is a bit more expensive but is a premium food so it is better quality. My puppy loves it. As 'Harry and Lola' said make the change gradual, you don't want to upset your puppies stomach.
I tried raw because my pup had food sensitivities and I will never go back to kibble. I'd try it out. There is lots of info on this site to help you switch over.
Every one of my friends that I convinced to try raw has stuck with it too. It's a little more work, but I think the payoff is huge.
Make sure you're feeding the right things and balancing it properly.
This is a great source of info: Welcome to the Raw Dog Ranch
The links for puppies is under construction though, I think. But it's all good info.
All puppies I have bought since I switched to raw went to raw the day they arrived. No slow transition. I did, though, feed them ground for the first while since I found it easier for them to digest until their systems were used to dealing with the bones.
Do your research and the Raw Dog Ranch site is a good one. There are others plus some raw feeding groups through Yahoo and also on FB.
I talked to my husband about it and he isn't on board with the raw diet. His opinion is that we would be doing raw if he were to compete in championships and stuff like that but since he's a family pet that we will just buy a better brand. I believe we are going to go with eukanuba (sp?)
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Eukanuba is no where close to premium. My advice is if you can buy it at Walmart then it's low quality.
If you do go raw then just feed it. No need to transition.
Feeding raw has nothing to do with being a pet or being a competition dog. My dog is just a pet and I feed raw because she is healthier on it.
You might look at Orijen or Acana if you have to feed kibble.
Idk about you but I can't find eukanuba at any Walmart where I'm at. I plan On going to a pet store later today to see what options I have and search for a crate. I can't make any purchases till next week but I'm definitely going to go with a better brand food so thank you for the suggestions.

I just got my GSmix pup and switched him right away to raw. He had no trouble with it at all. I also have a year-old Chi and he's been raw-fed since he was about three months old- that's when I first learned of the raw diet.
I love raw feeding! It really is healthier for them. The benefits for us humans are less shedding, less 'doggy' smell, no foul breath, smaller and less frequent bm's; just a cleaner and healthier animal all around. The benefits for them: less allergies, less skin irritation, minimal eye watering (Chi's are really bad for this and mine doesn't water at all), clean strong healthy teeth, and the mental stimulation and enjoyment they get out of meals, especially boney meals. If I could switch my cat over to raw I would. Actually, I'm working on him too :)

30 Creative Projects In 30 Days
PSFK interviews Carmichael Lynch's Creative Labs on their ambitious month-long competition with the goal to inspire.
Throughout June, 30 Days of Creativity nurtured and motivated a community of contributors to produce a creative project daily. The initiative was developed by Carmichael Lynch's Creation Lab, a Minneapolis-based agency, and we got in contact with their team for some insight on the project's goals and ambitions:
Tell us about 30 Days of Creativity — what motivated you to launch this program?
We understand that constraints are needed to inspire creativity. We all want to be creative, but oftentimes push off our ideas with the intent of doing it "later." When you set-up a particular time allotment, it pushes us and inspires us to do the things we usually put off for another day.
We wanted to develop a social initiative that had the potential to connect people from all over the world – regardless of age, race, or industry background – and direct them towards one common objective: creation. We believe 30 Days of Creativity has the potential to do this because we were designing a community hub for people to come to share, work together and support each others' work.
What did you expect in terms of creative output?
Output differs radically. Last year we saw the development of original design work, music, videos and art and crafts projects. We like to keep the expectations of "creative output" completely open. And, above all, we never judge anyone's creative output. Someone may decide to cook a meal differently or try a new hairstyle – that part isn't up to us, it's about our creators and what they feel like doing. We merely intend to shepherd the process and keep them motivated.
What cultural trends and innovations do you expect will impact this year's inventions?
We saw people come together from like-minded communities to collaborate. We saw people contribute from a host of online locations – Vimeo, Youtube, Pinterest, blogs, Twitter etc. With the large growth in places to share work online and communicate with our networks, we expect to see a lot of technological advances in terms of sharing, building and working together.
We saw contributors using our guardrails to guide their creation: not only the time constraint of 30 days, but also with our calendar for inspiration, where we uploaded content daily to inspire our community. We also were curious to see any shifts in the use of our hashtag #30daysofcreativity – we expected to see people work off of that or build unique hashtags to combine and further compartmentalize the type of work that's being created.
How was this year's '30 days' different than the last?
We've put a lot of effort towards connecting with the right people, business and publications online to further our message. We think this will result in more awareness and contributions. With more pledgers in a host of different industries and environments, we not only expect to see more creation – we expect to see more diverse creation.

My friend is urging me to say the Rosary but I find it very difficult to concentrate. Aren't these devotions optional? Should I persevere with it?
It is true that outside the sacred Liturgy, we are left free to pray in different ways. However the Rosary does have the recommendation of Our Lady herself at Lourdes, Fatima and on many other occasions, and has been encouraged by the saints and most of the Popes of the past 500 years. Therefore I would encourage you to persevere.
The Rosary combines both vocal and mental prayer. At times, we might focus on the words of the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be, repeated lovingly as to a dear friend. We are also invited to ponder the great events of Our Lord's life, death and resurrection, raising our minds and hearts to God in praise and thanksgiving, and drawing new resolve for our Christian lives. Both the vocal prayers and the mysteries on which we meditate, draw us directly to Christ. Our Lady does not ask for attention for her own sake but for the sake of her Son. In any kind of prayer we are prone to distractions. The Rosary can make these more obvious, leading us to try (though always in tranquillity of soul) to resist them, to bring our cares to Jesus, and to turn our attention gently away from ourselves and back to Him.
In 1959, Blessed John XXIII wrote an encyclical letter (Grata Recordatio) to the Bishops of the world. He began by speaking of the Rosary, and in the context of this call to prayer, spoke of his hope for the future, his prayer for rulers, and the danger of secularism and materialism. He closed by asking the Bishops of the world to recite the Rosary during October with particular devotion and to ask Our Lady to pray that the "forthcoming Ecumenical Council" would add "wondrous growth to the universal Church." On the 50th anniversary of the Council, we could recall this intention of Blessed John XXIII, and ask that the Church might experience such a wondrous growth.

A long journey to Margate
People travel to visit Margate, but not usually over a distance of 9,000 miles. To be fair, Fr Michael Rowe has been in Europe for other reasons, notably the international conference in Rome of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy which I was so sorry to miss in January. Nevertheless, he took the train down from St Pancras today to visit one of the oldest missions in the Archdiocese of Southwark and it was great to catch up on news from Australia and many friends there.
I was mortified to discover, after hearing confessions in the school, that it was actually snowing when I went down to the town centre to meet him. I thought that a good lunch was in order after such a journey and we were well looked after by the excellent bastion of good honest British restaurant tradition, Bentley's Lounge and Grill, at the bottom of the High Street.
Father Rowe is Rector of the Traditional Latin Mass Centre at St Anne's in Belmont. I promised to post a photo for his people as he told me that some are kind enough to read this blog. Greetings from Margate! Father is standing in our beautiful Lady Chapel at St Austin and St Gregory, designed by Edward Pugin, the son of Augustus Welby Pugin.
