I want to recommend two excellent editorials from The Baltimore Sun on the government shutdown: "The unproductive shutdown" and "Government shutdown is the Republicans' fault -- period."
Media always feel the need to be even-handed. When they do a story, they have to have one member from each party, and in so doing, essentially validate what each person has to say, giving them equal weight or value. Yet their positions are often not of equal value, and I think these editorials point out that this is one case where it is clear where the blame lies. This is not to say both parties have not at times been guilty of obfuscation, deception and out-and-out wrongdoing. In this case, however, I agree with both editorials that it is clear where the blame lies.
I actually don't think Republicans as a party are altogether responsible for the government shutdown. In that sense, I would not go as far as Thomas Schaller does in his editorial. It is a small group of House Republicans and their current leader, Sen. Ted Cruz, who are responsible. The question is, why is Speaker John Boehner allowing them to set the agenda? The answer seems to be the fear that almost every house Republican has: An even more conservative opponent may be waiting in the next primary election. Once again, the problem created by state gerrymandering of House districts proves a significant obstacle to democratic government.
The House has tacked on a defunding "Obamacare" rider to a continuing resolution to fund the government at existing levels for six to eight weeks. Schaller explains that they are ignoring proper legislative procedures. He gives examples of what could happen if one party could use such tactics to hold the government hostage over a law they don't like. Democrats might have decided to end the Bush-era tax cuts or repeal the Patriot Act. There is a legislative procedure for amending or repealing unpopular laws, but this isn't it.
We are already beginning to see the pain this government shutdown is having on individuals and families. The upcoming debt ceiling crisis looms with suggestions that this same group of Republicans intends to continue to hold the government hostage. Congress has a responsibility to keep the government operating and to pay bills it already incurred. That is made clear in the Constitution. The failure and refusal of this small group of Republicans to do so is irresponsible and demonstrates a failure to govern.

I was born 1964 in Celle, somewhere in Niedersachsen. Due to the job of my father, my parents and my two younger brothers have moved very often until we were moving to Zierenberg, near Kassel. There I went to school and made my school-leaving exam in 1983. Afterwards nearly two year�s civil service.
I needed a practical training for my art and design study and therefore I was ending up in a photo studio in Kassel as assistant for three years. I studied at the university for two years. But it was too academic and so I have worked at least three years again in a job as photographer.
Since 1992 I have designed the miniatures as a sideline and since 1994 sculpted full-time for Hobby Products in M�lheim. Fate would have it that I have met my life mate on one of my photo travels and she comes from Oberhausen, a neighbouring town of M�lheim. I'm freelance since 2000 and I have no regrets about this step!
Terry Pratchet and Tolkien are my real favourite writers. As I have read their books twice or more, I now am reading mainly SF and fantasy paperbacks as time allows.
In the time of being a little boy, I'm sure you have played with some kind of figures. Could you remember that? What figures were those? Or did you make some with plasticine ?
In a sandbox with cowboys and Indians and Smurfs. My two brothers and I were collecting all sorts of miniatures in those days and surely we have made the plasticine figurines, too. All three of us are very creative.
When did you get your first metal miniature ?
Friends of mine have brought some Citadel miniatures along from a London trip and the brand-new (at that time) Warhammer 2nd edition. These fine sculpted figures have kindled the fire.
When for the first time, did you think about making the sculpting to your full-time job?
W.K.: I guess, around 1989, when I began to convert the figures. At that time the figures were designed not particularly for the different troop types yet and accordingly exactly the figures were missing with the equipment which one needed.
You taught the sculpting yourself. Was that difficult? How long did it take to get the first acceptable results?
It was taking over a year to get the first miniature. With long interruptions and innumerable comebacks, improvements and conversions. On top of this, I have sculpted the figure with old, nearly out dried Fimo (putty that has to be heated to dry). Excalibur Miniatures still has the miniature in the order: a chaos warrior who mashes a goblin. I am still pretty happy about the result.
Do you have any tips for an amateur designer?
W.K.: You must pick an easy project/model. Start working and always remember that it possibly won`t turn out what you would like it to and that you will have to put much time and patience into this.
Three practical tips - not only for amateurs:
Mix a part of Fimo Soft with three to five parts Greenstuffs. It will stick but it will be usable after some kneading. Benefit: this mix stays longer workable, despite Fimo hardens and will be very well for large surfaces.
Sculpt from inside to the outside and from bottom to the top. First pre-mould on the wire, then a leg, apply the details on the still soft skin, then the another leg, then the body... Let harden the figure under a lamp between the steps.
Take some 30-45 minutes old green stuff. Roll out the greenstuff, on a piece of a plastic foil. Cut out the parts, for example armour plate or belt, and take off carefully. The side, which has been on the foil, has got smooth surface and very sharp edges now. Stick the stuff on the figur carefully.
How did you get into the miniatures industry? Lucky coincidence or calculated step?
W.K.: After the first miniature has been finished, I have specially designed some figures for GW and Hobby Products and have applied with them.
You have worked for many companies. Is it always the same or are there different experiences?
W.K.: Of course there are different experiences. Firstly because the jobs were different and secondly some companies have a hard time with the business matters. It makes the teamwork very difficult when you must wait for half a year or longer for your payment.
Tell us something about your experience with Games Workshop. Which miniatures did you sculpt for GW?
W.K.: Towards my application, GW has invited me to Nottingham for two weeks. It was unbelievable exciting and inspiring. The people were very nice and helpful. During the stay there I have designed five Miniatures. As far as I know they have not been released yet.
Were there any regrets in your career as miniatures designer? The days when you would give up or was it going well?
W.K.: Not really. Certainly there are days when thing aren`t working as they should, but my enthusiasm helps me get over it and helps me moving forward.
Is it a hard lot to be a miniatures-designer? Do you have to work hard? How do your look like your daily routine look like?
W.K.: Due to the fact that model making is still fun, everything is very easy and simple. The only thing that is sometimes difficult is to outwit my lazyness. So I wake up together with my girlfriend every early morning and we go out of home together. I have got the advantage of my own studio - that helps me to overcome my laziness. I sculpt from 8am to 3pm (weiss nicht genau wegen am und pm) . At home I make a little bit office work, like interviews :). At the weekends I mostly do office work.
Often, if hobby is made to job, fun losees on it. Do you feel the same? Didn�t you have enough of Green Stuff in your eyes?
W.K.: Right. A little bit. But there is also the painting of the figures, playing with the figures...
Because of the theme fun, do you play still tabletop?
W.K.: Yes, of course I do. We meet every Thursday for gaming. Mostly GW games. At the moment we are enjoying the Lord of the Rings game. My sinister orc army is steadily growing and soon middle earth will be mine.
You aren�t only a sculptor, but also a very talented painter. Do you still have time to do some paintings?
W.K.: Thanks. Yes, sometimes. I have already painted 7 figures for my LotR Mordor Army and now I am planning a Slaanesh Army. But I don`t think that I will be able to paint more than 10-12 miniatures.... I would like to do something for the Golden Demon painting competition, I have a couple of ideas in my mind. Only time is short.
Your design of the miniatures is unmistakable, you can distinguish between your figures and ones by other designers immediately, particularly your women-models are unique. How would you explain your style in a few words?
W.K.: As a realistic style. I always try to show the body�s anatomy, function wise of the gear and the different materials in a right way. I want to make it like it really works.
Your favourite miniature?
W.K.: Not a certain one. Mostly I am very dissatisfied with the older figures after a certain time. Then I see a fault here and there and would like to make it new! Maybe my next figure would be my absolute favourite one.
Sandra Garrity has called her figures as her "children"? Every artist has got his own relationship to his work. I�m surely that it is similar to you, how would you descripe your relationshiop to your figures?
W.K.: Actual not any. After I made one, the figure disappears from my memory. Often I am very surprised: What, this one is by me?
It will make surely every designer proud, if his figures are painted by the best painter and if they find their place within the top 10 of Coolminiornot or other competitions. But how do you feel seeing your figures (mainly perhaps women-figures) being poorly painted? Would you be sad?
W.K.: No I wouldn�t. The most painters put much effort in this figure and have much fun to paint this and it is absolutely OK for me.
In the interview with D.Heutelbeck at the �Spiel 2000� convention you said that you were influenced by T.Meier, J.Goodwin and the Brothers Perry. Do you still think like this, or are there any new sculpters you really like?
W.K.: I always like to look at miniatures of new designers And mostly there is something new to learn. Especially the Rackham miniatures have influenced my style recently.
The Perry brothers are mainly working on historical miniatures. What do you think about this? Have you ever thought about doing historical miniatures?
W.K.: Yes, I did. I would like to make a 54mm, or bigger middle age historic figure sometime. But I don`t have the time to do so now.
Meanwhile you have got your own company, Freebooter Miniatures.Some years ago you made your own conversions, now you have your very own miniature forge, how does that feel? Do you sometimes think �Man, you madet it!�
W.K.: Well, it isn�t so special. It�s only my work. And Freebooter is still beginning.
How did the name "Freebooter Miniatures" bring about?
W.K.: My mate Franz Sander had the idea, because I didn�t had any ideas.
The miniatures branch grows incessant; nearly every day new companies are raising from the ground. What do you think about this development? Do you feel the competition?
W.K.: I think this is great. It�s very interesting to see all the new stuff. But often there are always the same sculptors who work for the different new companies.
Will this development go on or is the market glutted soon and the companies will shut down again?
W.K.: Often is not much knowledge behind the most projects. Particularly many people haven�t got talent for the business things. And if these people disappear from the scene with their engagement and nice ideas, it will be very pity.
Which of the new acquisition would you call well?
W.K.: IK Warmachine. A good concept, cool miniatures and consisted rules.
Do miniatures designer tend friendship one blow the other or do they sit alone in their ivory towers and make figures? Have you got closely contact to other designers?
W.K.: Of course, I have got real closely contact to Stefan Niehues. But I have got only irregular contact to Sandra Garrity, Bobby Jackson and Jason Wiebe. It�s very difficult because of the distance and I�m very lazy about writing. Here, I have to mention Reaper, because they organize one to two times a meeting by their sculptors in a year. And this is always very nice and stimulating.
In a designer world, which is ruled by miniatures, work, hobbies and everything else, have a person time for being with normal humans and the world outside? Do you watch the news?
W.K.: Surely. Still, if hobby and job are identical, you will thirst after something different. At least sometimes. So I gladly go to meals, play (too) often at the pc, but mainly strategy and roleplaying games and of course I watch the news every day. I don`t take Green Stuff with me, when I am on holidays. There I have real holidays.
What are you working on now?
For Freebooter I have made a new mercenary and I make almost a snobby imperial noble person. Additional I am working on a dark elf and a special figure for the �Spiel� convention in October. For Reaper I am working on a set of dwarven warriors for warlord at the moment.
What a miniature would you like to make unconditional?
Ideas of two elves flit around my head for Freebooter. I have got very pretty sketches for new Reaper Figures by Tim Talin. I would really like to do these. And next week I will have surely more ideas for figures which I would like to do unconditional.
What are your plans for the future?
W.K.: To sculpt many beautiful figures and improving my skills. Getting Freebooter forward. And having fun doing this.

When Singapore Exchange chief
At $8.4 billion, the offer valued ASX shares at $48 apiece – a sizeable 37 per cent upside to their worth before the deal was unveiled.
At Friday's share prices, the value of the cash and scrip bid – SGX is offering $22 in cash and 3.473 SGX shares for every ASX share – had fallen to about $46 as the Singapore exchange's own
shareholders dropped the stock out of fear that the deal would fail as Australian politicians became vocally involved.
Any loss of faith on the part of shareholders will be a further obstacle for the takeover.
Bocker knows that getting the deal to happen will need the approval of more than just shareholders. Apart from the politicians, the major goal for the two exchanges will be to get on side the ASX's key users – investors, traders, stockbrokers and listed companies.
During the week, the hard sell began in earnest.
For investors and traders, the pitch is that a combined group will create the world's fifth-biggest stock exchange and the second-largest market for listed companies in Asia.
Details are scant, but the ultimate goal is, in effect, to combine the exchanges, with extended trading hours across two equities markets and 24-hour trading in derivatives.
Together, the exchanges will offer access to more than 2700 listed companies and 400 different derivatives products.
Bocker has already flagged that the merged group will spurn the development of new products, and the early focus is likely to be commodity-linked derivatives trading instruments.
For Singapore, and Asian investors more broadly, the lure is the chance to more easily invest in Australia's mining companies as demand for resources continues to grow across the region. For Australian investors, the attraction may be greater access to the flood of new companies listing in Asia.
The Singapore exchange also has the largest range of real estate investment trusts, exchange traded funds and derivatives in Asia and is investing $250 million to build the world's fastest trading engine.
With China driving growth in the region, the goal is to capture a greater share of mainland companies wanting to list.
Although major Chinese enterprises prefer to list in Hong Kong and, increasingly, Shanghai, Singapore has positioned itself as the magnet for second-tier firms. There are about 160 such companies on the Singapore Exchange and about a third of all stocks there are from other countries.
Detractors point to the poor quality of some of these listings as evidence that the ASX is lowering its standards by agreeing to the takeover and that the integrity of the local market is under threat.
Higher costs are another bugbear, with the Singapore Exchange's headline execution fee now at 0.75 basis points, compared with 0.15 basis points for the ASX.
"[The deal] has got a huge way to go," says Mark Daniels, head of Australian equities at Aberdeen Asset Management, which has a holding in the ASX.
"Long term, I think Australia being part of a bigger stock exchange focused on Asia is probably a very good move."
As investors and market participants make up their minds about the takeover, the proposal is also being sold to corporate Australia as a chance to get into the shop window of Asia, the theory being that through a combined exchange Australian companies will become more visible to regional investors and attract more capital.
Former Telstra chief
But sceptics dismiss this as pure spin. "Asian investors invest in Australia every day," says a senior investment banker who does not want to be named.
"It is clearly wrong to say you need your exchange to be owned by Asia to get investments from Asia."

Slow start to LORDA syrup production
LANSDOWNE – Jim Crawford holds out a cup filled with a clear liquid. It doesn't look like much – in fact it just looks like water.
Protest against Northern Pulp emissions draws 200 community members
MOUNT WILLIAM - When Randy Delorey, Nova Scotia's Environment Minister, told CBC News last week that there was no imminent threat to human health from Northern Pulp emissions, Jane Thomson decided to act, calling it "the last straw" for her.
She, and 200 others, took to the parking lot at the Pictou County Wellness Centre on Sunday – an act of symbolism, she says – to protest the emissions from Northern Pulp.
"I think some people here, probably if you questioned everybody here, would find some people that think the mill can continue to operate because they're very hopeful that the new precipitator will solve the problem. I'm not," she said.
She wants to see a solution from the government this week, asking for a closure until "it's cleaned up."
Thomson wasn't alone in her frustration.
Cars driving by honked as the crowd shouted, "we want wellness," a much larger crowd than the last community protest held outside Peter MacKay's office.
Natalie Gordon, a Pictou resident, spoke at the event about recent lung issues and long-standing cognitive problems.
"I have been fatigued for two years, have had headaches, have felt heaviness in my lungs before. But what changed last week, I think the heat and the humidity, it just pressed the pollution down and it sat like a fog," she said. "I couldn't see across the room of my dwelling when I woke up. It was filled with smoke and I had slept for 10 hours, breathing deeply right beside a window. It was that morning that I woke up and had burning around my mouth, and I still have a metallic taste in my mouth. It's the eighth day I believe, and it feels like I've had a chemical strip right from my lips, my mouth, right down to my lungs. It feels like there's little pieces of glass in my lungs and I can't get a full breath." Gordon added that she "takes care of her health."
Pam MacDonald, who lives in Lochbroom, has been concerned about the mill emissions for many years.
She said she calls the Department of Environment's office in Granton and Northern Pulp on a regular basis when the haze is thick.
"When the fog hits, you can't see [the department of environment office]. Why do I have to call you, and tell you? You know they're out of compliance. You can't see out your windows."
In response to comments from job losses that would occur if the mill closed, she said the county has already lost jobs.
"Pictou's a ghost town. What about tourism?"
Northern Pulp officials said in a recent interview that shutting down the mill until a new precipitator is installed would end up as a permanent closure.
They acknowledged the problems they're having with the current filtration system, stating that the aged precipitator "has deteriorated more rapidly than initially expected."
The replacement is scheduled for installation by May 2015.

By Gini Sinclair USAG AnsbachJuly 7, 2011
ILLESHEIM, Germany - The new School Age Center at Storck Barracks opened on June 15 and special guest, Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, U.S. Army Europe commander, and his newest friends cut the ribbon marking the official opening.
A group of USAG Ansbach SAC students sang a rendition of "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood as Hertling walked up to the door of the center.
The brand-new building, which took less than a year to build, is near the Bunch Physical Fitness Center. It was designed specifically as a SAC with one room for a child care center.
According to Amy Meyer, director, USAG Ansbach SAC, the building came complete with all the furnishings.
"We got all new supplies," Meyer said "the building came with video games, science kits, even a library with books. We used to be in a building across from the bowling alley. It was about one-quarter the size of the current area. This is such an improvement."
Students who attend the SAC can arrive at 5:45 a.m., stay until 8 a.m., and then go to school, return at 2 p.m. and leave by 6 p.m. During the summer the SAC is open all day, from 5:45 a.m. until 6 p.m.
During the school year, a computer lab has computers to help students do their homework. A gymnasium offers an opportunity to play a variety of ball games.
Inside is a kindergarten room, cafeteria and game room, arts and science room, kitchen, a hallway filled with lockers, and administrative areas. An outdoor playground provides slides and a soft landing when you fall.
During the summer SAC programs include field trips to local places such as the Play Mobile Fun Park and the Nuremberg Zoo. The center also offers horseback riding as well as a large variety of arts and crafts.
The new SAC is just a little over 15,000 square feet of inside space, with nearly 4,000 square feet of outside area. The building, its contents and the playground cost $5 million.
Now that the center has room for more children Meyer is looking forward to filling up the building to its capacity of 104 children.

I also agree with Auggie about how he said the we should be remembered for the things we do. I think precept is just following your own rules or directions to do something you want to do. Figure out your own way to do something. Just be yourself when your doing anything.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don`t matter and those who matter don`t mind – Dr. Suess
I think some of this poem really connects to my definition of precept.
I really like this qoute! I think this qoute goes really well your definition of precept. Good job!
I really love this quote! Nice Job!
Auggie you go! I think Auggie's precept definition is like it came right out of my mouth. Precept is like the definition of perseverance to me.
"You go after what your dream is until you catch it."
I agree with Niha about that people should be remembered by the things they have done. My definition of precept is follow your heart, and to be yourself. For example, when my baby cousin, Alexandra. She always takes the harder route instead of the easy way out. She really reminds me of Auggie because Auggie follows his heart, and is determined.
I think Auggie is right about being who you are and knowing it. Auggie lives with his situation and tries not to care what people think about him. After all, ge is a very strong kid. He is definitely more brave than I am. He definitely knows that everyone is staring at him and whispering and tries to think nothing of it but he cares. I am really starting to think about other people's feelings and IALAC signs while reading this book. It is definitely one of the best books I have ever read and am eager to read the rest of it!
"I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion."
Really cool quotes.Where did you find them?
Love these! I am glad that I gave helped people to go beyond there blogging and try to find something that will help them understand what it is talking about.
I agree with Auggie about what he thought precept meant. I also think it means try new things you never known you might like it. Just act how what to act don't act how you think others want you to. I have really enjoyed reading the book.
"If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by anyone's perception of me." -Unonymous
This made me think of Auggie because he doesn't care how people stare or look at him. He was born that way.
I agree when Auggie said what he thought precept meant. I think of a precept as a life lesson or as a motto, something to help you live your life better. I cannot wait to finish reading this book!
I totally agree with what Auggie put in his paragraph about how your deeds are your monuments. Let people remember you as the type of person you are, not because you are trying to be a type of person you are pretending to be. Of course Auggie is going to be remembered as "the kid with the weird face", but he doesn't care. Auggie is so strong and has been through a lot. Also the precept helps me to remember to always try again and never ever give up. Live up to something that you really are determined to do, not just because you are worried about how people look at you. Think about Martin Luther King. He didn't worry about what people said, and still changed the world.This precept also reminds me of the song "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Maraz. Auggie has never given up even when he didn't want to do something. He kept his head up and kept walking.
I think August was right about preception and I agree with it. You should stand up for who you are and no one should tell you what to do. You should try something new. No one should tell you what to do.
"There is no truth. There is only perception."
I think August feels the same way because some people think of him as "weird" even though he wasn't that bad after all.
I 100% agree with what Auggie said. Your deeds are your monuments. I think that this means that your actions are the things that people remember. If somebody helps people consistently by doing deeds that they need help with, that person will be noticed by other people. Almost like a monument is noticed.
The September precept, "Your deeds are your monuments" means to me that if you do nice deeds for others I could possibly make an impact in somebody else's life. I knew a woman named Banou who made an impact in my life before she passed away recently. She made an impact in my life by helping me with my deeds. She also made an impact many other people too. This is what this precept means to me.
I used to know someone like that too. I really liked what you said about "If you do nice deeds for others it could possibly make an impact on someone else's life." That made me think about a kid that might be bullied at school, or something is going on at home, that you could be friendly, and talk to them, and try to make them feel better. You never know who's watching.
Auggie's precept, "Your deeds are your monuments," reminds us that what you do in life is how you will be remembered. We should not be remembered for how we look, what we wear, how we sing, play a sport, or wear our hair. Like Auggie, I would like to be remembered as a good person, of good character, and a good citizen.
"Character is who you are when no one is watching."
Auggie made a good point when he said," Your deeds are your monuments." This means that all the deeds in your life will represent you. A person should be remembered for their actions and not their appearances or for what they own. A person could be remembered for anything but it's what they are remembered for that makes them stand out against others.
Auggie's precept for the year is "your deeds are your monuments" i think that this means be careful of what u say and your actions because you dont know whos watching you. Auggir is having a hard time in school and he is not getting along with some of his class mates he is trying to make friends but he just cant because something is wrong with him you should accept people for whp they are and what they are.
I agree with Auggie. I think people should be remembered about what they do not what they look like. Auggie wishes he could be remembered by what he does and not he he looks like. He is so strong and brave. If people be themselves then others will really remember them for what they do. I think if more people really got to know Auggie like Summer did they would remember him not only for his face but for what he did.
I definitely agree of what Auggie thought the precept "Your Deeds are Your Monuments" mean. No one should be remembered on their face but on what they do. People say Auggie has a weird face but it shouldn't matter you should say he is kind and brave. All these precept are acting similar to a motto and I always stick to a motto.
I agree with Auggie of what he thought preception" Your Deeds are Your Monuments" means. People are supposed to be remembered of what they do or did not what they look like on the outside. People think auggie is unordinary looking because of his face. It doesn't about your appearance. Auggie takes chances and took the chance of going to school. That's something that should be remembered.
I agree with Auggie. I think he was trying to say the deeds in your life will represent you no matter what you do. I think people shouldn't judge Auggie because he's different. I think that people shouldn't be friend just because they feel bad for them.
Auggie was saying that people need to be remembered for what they did in their lives, even if it is good or bad. If someone does something bad, like rob a bank, he or she should be remembered for that. If someone is helping the homeless, or always giving, he or she should be remembered for that. Auggie should be remembered because he knows that he doesn't look like the other kids, but he still goes to school, and he still tries to interact with the kids in his class. He is very brave.

BestCollegesOnline isn't standard sourcing fare for gadget blogs, but its roundup of the world's most modern libraries still hits the right notes. It's hard to remember exactly what led me to technology, computers, games and all the attendant electronic accessories–but it was certainly found somewhere in 000 or 600.
O.K., O.K., so it was Nintendo. Be that as it may, books are great.

Research Progress
Canine prostate cancer is an aggressive disease that commonly invades the bladder and urethra and can lead to urinary difficulties. Although researchers continue to make strides toward more effective treatments for this disease, the urinary complications caused by the cancer can create significant research challenges.
Sandra Axiak, DVM, ACVIM, an assistant professor of veterinary oncology at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine encountered such obstacles while enrolling subjects for a canine prostate cancer study using radioactive gold nanoparticles as a treatment. Many dogs that were otherwise good candidates for the study and that could potentially have benefited from the treatment were ineligible due to urethral obstruction. It was essential that participants be able urinate on their own, without catheterization.
However, Axiak's colleague Deborah Fine, DVM, MS, associate professor of veterinary cardiology, stepped in to assist by providing a procedure that created the opportunity for the dogs to be eligible to be enrolled in the study. The procedure involves inserting a urethral stent into the dogs. Fine's approach is a minimally invasive alternative to major surgery. It not only serves to ease urinary discomfort and improve the animal's quality of life, but by opening up the urethra dogs that previously were ineligible were given a second chance to participate in the study.
The intra-luminal stent that Fine uses in the procedure essentially functions as a tiny spring. She begins by injecting dye into the bladder and urethra to identify the location of the tumor and to map out the appropriate path for the stent placement. The stent is then inserted to cover a length of urethra that extends beyond either side of the tumor.
Fine has performed about a half dozen urethral stent placements for dogs in Axiak's research, and is believed to be the only veterinarian in Missouri offering this specific procedure.
Axiak's study, Phase I Trial of Gum Arabic coated radioactive gold nanoparticles (GA-198AuNPs) in the treatment of canine prostatic carcinoma, aims to determine the safety and effectiveness of injecting radioactivity directly into the tumor, with the hope of decreasing side effects associated with radiation therapy while increasing overall tumor control. Enrollment is opened to qualified participants.

St Ishmaels (144 all out) lost to Carew (148 for 8)
Carew edged their way to a four-run win at St Ishmaels that left the home side wondering how they managed to lose after standing at 130 for 4 in pursuit of Carew's 148 for 8.
Carew's start to their innings, after being invited to bat first, was less than impressive after openers Nick Scourfield and Ian Sefton had both departed with 12 runs apiece. At 59 for 5 after 24 overs their score looked likely to be less than challenging.
But skipper Robbie Hicks, as good a battler as there comes, joined forces with Martin Scourfield in redressing the balance in a stand of 80 before Hicks was out from the final ball of the innings, with six fours in his 62 runs, bowled by Robbie Thomas.
Scourfield ended up with an important 30 not out against Jonathan Pawlett (2 for 33), Andrew Williams (3 for 28) and Andrew Pawlett (2 for 32) – and although Carew would have been slightly disappointed not to achieve fully batting bonus points, they had compiled a challenging total in the circumstances.
St Ishmaels looked positive as Peter Bradshaw had five fours in his 54 and Jonathan Pawlett scored 40 (five fours) despite good bowling by Tom Davies (4 for 23), Matthew Phillips (2 for 42, and
Rhys Davies (2 for 22). They lost Andrew Williams, run out to a direct hit by Gareth Lewis – and Bradshaw was run out from a good throw by Ian Sefton as he attempted a risky second run. It left
Tish needing just 19 runs with four wickets in hand – but they collapsed under pressure and Carew were delighted to pick up another vital victory.
St Ishmaels match ball sponsored by Graham Parker.
Umpires: Alan Hansen and Tony Waldeis.
Scorers: Wendy Bradshaw and Ceri Davies/Dai Sefton.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world," Nelson Mandela once said. Partners In Health's Dr. Jonas Rigodon recently quoted these famous words at the inauguration of the Neno Vocational Training Center in rural Malawi.
Malawi suffers from one of the world's highest rates of HIV infection, and its people are among the world's poorest. Three quarters of the population lives below the international population line of $1.25 a day, and UN estimates put HIV infection rates at 11 percent of the adult population.
PIH and its Malawian sister organization Abwenzi Pa Za Uyomo (APZU) are working to combat these dire statistics with a number of programs supported by its Program on Social and Economic Rights. "Attending to the health of the community requires attending to the communities' social and economic needs," explained Dr. Rigodon, who is APZU's Country Director. These needs include shelter, food, education, and economic opportunities. The new training center, organized in a partnership with the UK-based organization Neno Macadamia Trust, is one of APZU's latest efforts to address these needs.
The new training facility has already enrolled 18 students—12 girls and 6 boys. Most of them are from HIV-affected households—either infected with HIV themselves, caring for patients, or orphaned by the disease. All of them had been too poor to attend school. The local Social Welfare Office worked with APZU to select the participants, reported APZU's Edith Chihana.
The training center's first class of students will be trained in carpentry, and a future course for welding is being planned. In addition to learning skills, the center will also provide the graduating students with a set of tools, including hammers, saws, clamps, and other supplies they'll need to begin their own carpentry businesses.
The new facility was the brainchild of David and Vanessa Maskell, volunteers with Neno Macadamia Trust. In 2009, the duo helped organize a carpentry workshop in the rural Neno district in southern Malawi, the district where APZU operates. They quickly saw the need to expand the scope of the project, and began working with Neno Macadamia Trust and APZU to construct the training center, with funding from the Miriam Dean Fund and the Alan & Nesta Ferguson Trust. Land for the facility was provided by Neno's District Commissioner, and Tools for Self Reliance helped to equip the center with hand tools and larger power tools and machinery.
On a bright sunny day two years after the Maskells first conceived their idea, a crowd gathered in front of the freshly-painted brick building to celebrate the inauguration of the training center. As brightly-colored balloons danced in the breeze, the Neno District Commissioner Lawford Palani cut the ribbon. "Economic Development without education is useless," he said, urging the first class of students to take advantage of the opportunities the center will offer them, and to use their newly learned skills to become models in their communities.
Other attendees of the inaugurating event included the Neno District Social Welfare Officer Peter Magomero, the Director of Administration at Neno District Council, the District Information Officer for Neno, and Village Headman Donda.
Both the Palani and Magomero expressed their expectations that the training center will not only help bring a brighter future for each individual student, but also to their families, their communities, and even the country of Malawi. Education that changes the world, just as Nelson Mandela had predicted.

Homeless in Vancouver: New pole raising at 10th and Hemlock
This afternoon I spent a little bit of time watching an Allteck crew plant a new wooden utility pole on the west side of Hemlock Street in the alley between 10th and 11th Avenue.
Nice guys but not much for chit chat—very focused on the task at hand.
Imagine mice using Tonka trucks to plant a broomstick. Then imagine all the things that could go wrong.
These fellows looked like they were protecting a 100-percent success record.
Lots of long-serving poles are being put out to pasture
We did talk during a break in the "action". I mentioned how many trucks I'd seen in the past few months hauling fresh wooden utility poles westward on West Broadway and how earlier this spring I'd watched another Allteck crew replacing utility poles along the east side lane of Cambie Street up by King Edward Avenue.
They told me they would be busy throughout the summer putting up new poles all over Vancouver.
I left them to their work but not before one of them asked me if I was looking for bottles. I said that I was, and they produced two large garbage bags full of returnable containers for me—they were really nice guys.
Oh, that's gonna leave a mark!
I think the digger derrick being used here was one made by Altec (not apparently related to Allteck).
In February of this year, Altec announced the development of urethane guards that could be retrofitted on their digger derrick pole guides (the steel "crab claws " holding the top of the utility pole). The urethane fits over the claws and the one other point of contact to protect the wooden pole from handling damage.
In the bottom photo we can see this derrick's pole guides are not fitted with protective sleeves.

Could this be the next Sweet Brown or Antoine Dodson? We all remember the famous words "Ain't nobody got time fo' dat" and "Hide your kids, hide your wife." Watch as Michelle Clark describes how a major hail storm hits her apartment in a violent fashion. Will the words "KAPOOYA, KAPOOYA" be the next words we will scream out loud? I think maybe. LOL!! What do you scream out when hail hits your house?

It's official: Nicole Kidman is pregnant by Keith Urban.
The announcement was made today by Kidman's publicist Wendy Day.
"Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban confirmed today that they are expecting a baby,'' Day said in a statement. "The couple are thrilled."
Earlier The New York Post reported that the actress had dropped plans to shoot a major new film in Germany to protect the health of her unborn child.
Kidman's representatives last week attempted to shoot down pregnancy reports, describing them as "gossip", but the Post today quoted "extremely well-placed sources" as saying the Australian actress was expecting.
"Of course, everyone knows she's pregnant and lying about it," the source told the Post.
Kidman was scheduled to begin shooting the Stephen Daldry-directed post World War II drama, The Reader, with Ralph Fiennes this month.
The Post reported Kidman, who has suffered miscarriages in the past, is "so concerned about the welfare of her unborn child" that she quit the film.
The film is produced by Hollywood studio Weinstein Company and is based on Bernhard Schlink's prizewinning book about a man who carries a long-time sexual obsession for an older woman, who is later prosecuted for war crimes after it emerges she was a member of the SS and a guard at Auschwitz.
A spokesman for Weinstein, Matthew Frankel, said: "I am being told that the status on The Reader has not changed."
The Post also quoted another sourceas saying a Vanity Fair editor was recently overheard talking about pushing up Kidman's photo shoot for the magazine's annual Hollywood issue.
"It's because the costumes she's set to wear won't fit her much longer," the source said.
Kidman has two adopted children - Connor, 12, and Isabella, 14 -
with former husband Tom Cruise.
The children live with Cruise and his new wife, actress Katie Holmes.
Kidman has said she had an ectopic pregnancy at the beginning of her marriage to Cruise and suffered a miscarriage at the time the couple split.

GOALS - Richmond: Riewoldt 7, McGuane 2, Newman, Maric, King, Conca, Vickery. St Kilda: Riewoldt 4, Saad 2, Maister 2, McEvoy, Stanley, Gilbert, Milne.
BEST - Richmond: Riewoldt, Cotchin, Morris, Grimes, Conca. St Kilda: McEvoy, Riewoldt, Jones, Gilbert, Montagna.
Injuries: St Kilda: S Dempster (wrist fracture).
UMPIRES Donlon, Mollison, Foot.
CROWD 56,783 at MCG.
Previously Richmond didn't win these games. Twice now it has. Last week the Tigers won a game as underdogs, this time they were expected to win. On both occasions they toughed it out for victory.
Not for some time has Richmond been a side about which the word consistency would be used. If two weeks marks consistency then it is at least getting to that point. But like last week it made this a hard proposition, which is not intended to under appreciate St Kilda's diligence.
The Saints were well organised and found ways to think their way through and open up the Richmond defence with slingshot play and small forwards. Or they did the traditional approach - kick it to Nick Riewoldt. It was a game plan that had a familiarity for both sides, the cousins Riewoldt each having a night out.
In the head-to-head battle little cousin Jack had the better. He booted seven, his last the goal to steady his side after Ahmed Saad had threaded a fine, dead straight set shot from the boundary to give the Saints a sniff.
Richmond, as it did last week, had the better of the general play but was unable to press the advantage. Dustin Martin was superb for a half then faded, his captain Trent Cotchin had the opposite experience, being unable to shake clear of Clint Jones until it really mattered in the last quarter. The Tigers seemed likely to kick clear during the second term through Riewoldt.
But they did not partly because of Leigh Montagna and Nick Dal Santo in the middle.
The ins for St Kilda were at the least on paper impressively credentialled - Sam Fisher, Leigh Montagna, Adam Schneider and Sean Dempster - two All-Australians and two premiership players. How fit they were for a high-energy early round match was another query.
Richmond meanwhile has reached a point of finding selection a difficulty. Previous first-choice players are now latter thoughts. The Tigers midfield lacks only Nathan Foley, its forward line with Ty Vickery and the weekly surprise of Luke McGuane more varied, while its defence, with the inclusion of Dylan Grimes, is more balanced. Or at least its defence should have been more balanced but for the fact St Kilda made it look top heavy. At one point Troy Chaplin was left to stand Terry Milera. It was not a prospect he would have relished.
Richmond's close-checking forced some errors. On the occasions they were able to think their way through it or win the critical contest that could get the ball over the back they found open space to run into and were able to hurt Richmond with fast play into their forward line. In the first quarter that twice saw them goal when Saad, Milera and Stephen Milne were able to get involved.
These forays were unreliable and the more familiar - and reliable - avenue through Nick Riewoldt was preferred to almost game-changing effect. Richmond had fought to its four-goal lead late in the third quarter but the elder Riewoldt halted their advance. The St Kilda captain marked on the lead and goaled, then a moment later had another when he found a ball over the back and the Tiger lead was halved. Saad's goal at the start of the last gave them a sniff which Jack Riewoldt did his best to extinguish.
Each contest had about it the tension of the idea that it could turn the game, such as when with only three minutes remaining St Kilda trailed by 12 points yet had the ball in hand. The Saints were searching for a way forward and appeared to have found one when they changed direction and an opportunity opened up on the far side of the ground near their forward line. A long ball searched for Ben McEvoy. Tiger Reece Conca had a stay-or-go decision. He went. He left his man and backed himself to get to the ball before McEvoy, knowing they were likely to collide and he risked the ball falling free to his now unmanned opponent. He won the ball. It was a significant. Soon after Ivan Maric made a certainty of the result. The Tigers won a game they should. Finally.
Seven minutes into the final quarter, Tiger Jake King sprung from the ground, seemingly out of nowhere, to sit on Rhys Stanley's shoulders. Nearly horizontally. Sadly, he couldn't quite hold onto the mark. It was eerily similar to Gary Moorcroft's stunning mark at Docklands in 2001. For a man known as the ''push-up king'', he went oh so close to putting his contention in for a new nickname. To cap off a night of highlights for the Tiger, he managed a beautiful checkside goal in the second quarter, splitting the sticks from 30 metres out on the boundary.
Luke McGuane is warming by the week to his forward shift. He kicked two first-quarter goals and, OK the first was a gift from a relayed free down the field, but the second one was a genuine forward's speccy. It was a mark the like of which has been hitherto unseen from McGuane at AFL level - he sprang high above a pack so that he ended up taking it at his waist above the other players' heads. Pleasingly, he kicked the goal. Not so pleasingly, at the start of the third he sprayed a snap at goal when he appeared to have ample time.
Last week, St Kilda sampled Sam Gilbert as a tagger and ran him with Gary Ablett for periods. Suffice to say that experiment has been shelved for now. Clint Jones returned to a more familiar barnacle role, latching himself to Trent Cotchin's shoulder and shadowing him around the ground. He held Cotchin to just nine touches to half-time.

Obviously if we did not look back, Mr. Dylan would have no buyers for this deluxe edition documentary of the legendary 1965 tour of England. Fortunately New Video and Docudrama.com saw fit to ignore him, too, and created the two disc set.
One of the most arresting moments is the few minutes standing in front of a reporter phoning in his review of Dylan's performance -- Imagine! holding the camera still -- Imagine! not faxing or emailing it in. In an old-fashioned PHONE BOOTH - not with a cellphone. Just one camera throughout the film, unheard of. Long takes, no cuts. We may as well have been there, for cryin out loud. The excerpt goes like this:
'He is not so much singing as sermonizing; his tragedy perhaps is that the audience is preoccupied with song. So the bearded boys and the lank-haired girls, all eye shadow and undertaker makeup, applaud the songs and miss perhaps the sermons. They are there; they are 'with it'. But how remote they really are from sit-ins and strikes and scabs and life.
"The times they are a-changing" sings Dylan. They are when a poet and not a pop singer fills a hall.'
-- the reporter calls in, complete with punctuation marks.
It isn't only the lack of technical gadgetry, or the bare-bones immediacy of the documentary of the tour, that bring back an era. It is also this mastery of the English language even in so prosaic a task as a concert review. To me, the reporter was just as much a poet (in his own small, ephemeral way) as the subject of the film, the riveting and brilliant Bob Dylan.
"I thought it was an advance over poetry" one man opines halfway thru the movie. The sentences, if there are actual sentences, do not parse. They are more like stream-of-consciousness phrases in the mode of James Joyce, or a verbal collage. But they borrow a lot from folk artists like Arlo Guthrie to comment on civil rights issues.
He sings about "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll", a servant who was struck and killed by her employer's cane. He sings of Medgar Evers. He sings of poverty and rich people who do not care that there are poor people.
In some ways Dylan is a shorter "Man in Black". Whereas Johnny Cash sings about Johnny Yuma and Ira Hayes, and everyone who never got a fair shake, Dylan fed the engine of the civil rights movement.
"I could tell you I'm not a folk singer" Dylan explains to a Time magazine reporter. "And explain to you why, but you wouldn't really understand why," he berates him, not really giving the reporter a chance.
Then he really digs into Time magazine. "I don't read Time or Newsweek to find out what's going on." …(and this is where he endears himself to internet news mavens) "they have too much to lose by printing the truth."
The first disc is the original concert documentary released in 1968. The second disc is outtakes and the making of the documentary. The filmmakers explain why they used black and white film, and show the process of making music -- writing down bits of songs in cars and trains, trying out chords on a piano backstage or on a guitar in the hotel room.
The supporting cast includes Joan Baez, Dylan's main squeeze at the time, with an appearance by a struggling Donovan, a Scottish folk singer. Baez, with her long dark hair and million-dollar smile, looking a bit like Cher, but sounding more like Joan Collins. Her pure voice has a healing quality. We catch snippets of "Turn Again" and it is like hearing doves sing a lullaby. "Love is Just a Four-Letter Word" -- maybe it is, but Joan's voice erases all past pains from lost loves.
I confess I have a hard time taking Dylan seriously when he tells the Time reporter "I'm just as good a singer as Caruso." Ahem, cough. Having heard his nasal voice on many recordings, and also having heard Baez's hilarious impression of his singing in a live concert a decade ago, it is hard to believe that HE believes it. But he does.
Along the way, Dylan's manager tries to negotiate an exclusive with either the BBC or Granada broadcasting. One cannot believe how they have to pull teeth just to wrangle $2000 for an appearance. But then again, concert tickets were maybe a pound. I recall seeing a souvenir Beatles' Chicago concert ticket stub that was I believe $3.50, face value.
I don't have to read Time or Newsweek to know that "Bob Dylan -- Don't Look Back" is a keeper. Or to know that a Bob Dylan who appeared on the scene now, would probably never even get airtime. But in that window of opportunity, those who addressed the burning issues of the day, even tiny, skinny kids with big noses and nothing but an acoustic guitar, a harmonica and a spotlight, could command loyal audiences and earn legendary stature in the rock-n-roll hall of fame.
"Bob Dylan -- Don't Look Back", 152 minutes, 1965 tour, 2006 documentary reissue from New Video Group. There was also a companion tour book published 1968.

To enjoy gaming more you need to know some things.
1. You might need to get some good recommendations. GameStop employees tell the truth, if they recommend a game, its because they think that you enjoy it, not because they want the money.
2. You need to have a comfortable place to sit while you play your game, also you need a place to put a drink, a controller, and other things that you are going to need while you play.
3. Have some friends that you can play the game with, either online or in real life, friends always make games more enjoyable.
The stuff listed above are some examples of what makes gaming more enjoyable. I love playing on a Gameboy, a DS/DSI, and a 3DS because you can watch tv while you play the games. My favorite game series is Pokémon and I love watching a funny anime called Sgt. Frog and I can watch Sgt. Frog while I play Pokémon!
I know this post is really short, I wanted to know what everyone wanted me to do in the gaming training camp, if you have any suggestions, please write them in a comment.

Xi Jinping's two-day state visit to Mongolia beginning today will see China and Mongolia boost trade and economic ties, but Mongolia is cautious not to become overly dependent on China.
In the first visit to Mongolia by a Chinese president in over a decade, Xi hopes to sign a series of energy and infrastructure deals with its landlocked, mineral-rich neighbour, and discuss implementing the Silk Road economic belt - which aims to increase cooperation in railway lines, pipelines and highway construction.
[1]"Mongolia is seeking to diversify its export partners to reduce China's overwhelming control of its economy," said Dr Alicia Campi, a Mongolia expert and former diplomat in Ulan Bator.
"In order for Mongolia's economy to continue to develop quickly, it must continue to depend on Chinese [investment] and the Chinese market", Campi said, but added: "Mongolia wants to be more active in the Northeast Asian region and not just a passive observer."
Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Jianchao said on Monday that China would sign the energy and infrastructure deals as part of Xi's visit. The trip would also address plans for Mongolia to build transport links with China.
Chinese companies operate in several major sectors in Mongolia, most importantly the mining, construction and trade services. Mongolian Economy, a Mongolian business magazine, estimated recently that 80 per cent of the country's imports were from China, and that 30 per cent of Mongolian exports went to its southern neighbour.
In May, the Mongolian government submitted a resolution to parliament to allow a combination of both Chinese and Russian-gauge rail tracks. If approved, the resolution would see an international-standard railroad shared between China and Mongolia for the first time.
Despite strong trade ties, analysts said Mongolia remained wary of getting too cosy with Beijing. The country was part of China until early last century.
"For years, there have been concerns on the part of Mongolians about becoming overly dependent on China as a trade partner and a source of investment," said Andrew Kuchins, director of the Russia and Eurasia Programme at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.
"Mongolia will seek a diversified set of economic partners to avoid a monopolistic relationship with China - overdependence on one buyer."
"Politically, China is at least interested in pulling Mongolia away from Russia and the US," said Dr James Seymour, a senior research scholar at Columbia University's Weatherhead East Asian Institute.
"China wants Mongolian resources; however, the main resource, coal, is not as important as it was [and] the price has been falling," Seymour said. "So with coal becoming less important than it was, that's bad for Mongolia, but metals are more important than they were."
Dalai Lama's Mongolia visit cancelled
The Dalai Lama's planned visit to Mongolia this month has been cancelled under pressure from China, according to several sources knowledgeable about Tibetan Buddhist affairs.
With President Xi Jinping due to pay a two-day state visit to Mongolia from today, the cancellation is believed to result from China's effective use of economic leverage on its landlocked neighbour, whose economy is highly dependent on China as an export market for mineral exports and as a source of investment.
The sources said Tibetan Buddhist circles began planning early this year for the Dalai Lama to visit Ulan Bator, the Mongolian capital, in August to preside over a large-scale public Kalachakra, or tantric initiation, like one he held there in August 1995 that attracted 30,000 followers.
The Dalai Lama is enormously popular in Mongolia, where a majority of the population is Tibetan Buddhist. He has made eight visits there since his first in 1979, despite objections from China.
The sources said preparations for his ninth visit were suspended after a plan for China's leader to visit Mongolia the same month emerged and began to take shape.
The Mongolian Foreign Ministry has not commented on the Dalai Lama's planned visit, except to say visits by religious leaders have nothing to do with the work of government.
But multiple sources said the government, under pressure from China, asked Tibetan Buddhist circles to cancel the planned events.
The religious leader, who fled his homeland following a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959 and has since been based with his followers in northern India, insists he seeks genuine autonomy, not independence, for Tibetans.

Monthly Dividend ETFs To Buy #3: WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend ETF (DES)
Dividend Yield: 2.5%
Over the longer term, small caps have historically out performed large cap stocks by a wide margin. That margin grows even larger when you include small caps that pay hefty dividends. Enter the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend ETF (DES), which adds monthly dividend payouts to the mix.
According to WisdomTree, "The Index is dividend weighted annually to reflect the proportionate share of the aggregate cash dividends each company is projected to pay in the coming year." Or, in plain English, DES screens for those firms with not only the highest yields, but those that are also the most secure and strong.
All in all, DES tracks 685 different dividend paying small-cap stocks, with financials (26%), industrials (18%) and utilities (135), rounding out the top sector weights.
DES isn't the highest yielding ETF on the planet, with a current dividend yield of 2.87%. However, that yield is nearly double traditional small-cap metrics like the iShares Russell 2000 (IWM). DES has also been less volatile than the popular IWM as well.
Expenses run 0.38% for the monthly dividend ETF.
