"What are you dreaming? That's something you can't afford for me to know, is it?"
Anyone that's has been collecting DVDs for any length of time knows that exhilarating feeling of seeing one of your favorite films finally released on the format. You're impatient for that approaching street date. It's exciting. It's an event. Anchor Bay's release of
on DVD is such an event for me. It's no secret that I'm a fan of director Michael Mann's moody filmmaking style. While
might not be Mann's best film technically (
The Insider
?), it is my favorite. But does Anchor Bay's DVD treatment of this film (which includes a 2-disc edition limited to 100,000 pressings) live up to fans' expectations? Read on
As you might expect, there's a serial killer on the loose in this film. He slaughters entire families and leaves bite marks on his victims. Dubbed "The Tooth Fairy" by the police, Francis Dollarhyde (Tom Noonan) has eluded the FBI. And since he's on a lunar cycle and poised to kill again, the Feds are getting desperate. Enter Will Graham (played superbly by William Petersen). A former FBI agent, Graham spent his career tracking down serial killers by getting inside their heads. After capturing the evil Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox), Graham was left mentally and physically damaged - a shell of the man he used to be. But Graham is reluctantly called out of retirement to help his former coworkers hunt down The Tooth Fairy before he strikes again. Against friends' advice and his doctor's orders, Graham visits Dr. Lecktor to reenter the mindset that almost killed him before. Can Graham stop The Tooth Fairy, and stay sane at the same time?
Michael Mann's dark, almost severe style fits this film perfectly. While influences of the 1980s are heavily in effect (most notably in the clothing, music and pastel color palette), it's Mann's gift as a storyteller and meticulous filmmaker that makes this film memorable. Mann's careful attention to detail and ambiance kept me entranced throughout the movie. This is a flashy film, but in a dark, nihilistic way. It's pure eye candy and you can't help but look. The music in
is pure 80s synthesizer fare, but it fits this film's modernistic edge more ideally than a traditional orchestral score. The songs' sweeping melodies and pulsing rhythms add much more energy to some of the scenes, especially in chapter 25. Graham is struggling with his thoughts, and the music builds to a slow crescendo as he makes the important discovery. Petersen turns this simple scene into a sprawling revelation, with his piercing eyes and intense monologue. But take the music away and much of the drama is lost.
While there is no shortage of wonderful performances in this film, William Petersen definitely stands above the rest. His brooding portrayal of Will Graham is profound and immediately engaging. Playing a man with a deep canyon of internal emotional struggles, Petersen puts believability and sincerity above everything else. While he's almost always deathly serious in this movie, his performance never sinks into the depths of melodrama. Tom Noonan's turn as serial killer Francis Dollarhyde is eerily convincing. Noonan is appropriately scary and dominating in his role, but plays it with unusual humanity and vulnerability given the character's situation. And of course, Brian Cox introduces the world of cinema to Dr. Hannibal Lecktor.
Okay, here we go - the obligatory comparison of Anthony Hopkins versus Brian Cox as Dr. Lecktor (note that in
Silence of the Lambs
and the forthcoming
, Dr. Lecter's name is spelled correctly as it appears in Thomas Harris' novel
The Red Dragon
, on which
is based). It's hard to believe that a lot of people out there still have no idea that Dr. Lecter existed on the silver screen before Anthony Hopkins' performance in
Silence of the Lambs
. Cox, a Scottish actor, breathed life into Dr. Lecktor for
and, as in
Silence of the Lambs
, the good doctor serves simply as the film's backdrop, driving the aura of evil in the story. Hopkins' more flamboyant portrayal of Lecter never sat right with me, because his methods work against the character's shrouded mystery and reputation for hidden danger. It's almost as if Hopkins reveals too much about the character. Cox's more straightforward portrayal of Lecktor makes the audience feel uneasy with Lecktor, because they know that there's a lot of bad stuff going on behind his eyes - things you only get a glimpse of in the way he matter-of-factly taunts and psychoanalyzes Graham. Cox's more subdued attitude, working in conjunction with what the audience knows about Lecktor's violent past, makes Cox's portrayal more intriguing to me.
Anchor Bay is releasing this film on DVD in 2 versions - a 2-disc limited edition (which contains the theatrical cut as well as a new director's cut) and a single-disc (of just the theatrical version). The theatrical version of
is presented in anamorphic widescreen (framed at 2.35:1), and thankfully looks better than I was anticipating. The overall presentation is a bit on the hazy side, but the transfer is damn good given the age and relative obscurity of the film. Many scenes exhibit impressive detail and clarity, and color fidelity is better than I've ever seen it. While black levels may not be up to par with newer transfers, they're still good here and compression artifacting was never a problem. On the other hand, the Director's Cut of
(found on the second disc of the limited edition) is just terrible. The anamorphic transfer is pervasively soft, with no detail or clarity, and colors have an obvious red push. It's hazy, dull and looks no better than a discarded Beta master that Mann might have found in his office. The picture is virtually unwatchable, which is a real shame - especially considering that the Director's Cut is the preferred version of the film.
Just a little background on the Director's Cut - it's 3 minutes longer that what was shown in theaters. Added are a couple of brief scenes focusing on building Will Graham's character. But one of these scenes is a powerful addition to the film's finale, in which Graham visits the family the killer was going to victimize next. It's a very short, simple scene, but it injects a fairly predictable ending with some unexpected emotion.
Let's talk audio. Blessed with a new Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, the theatrical version of
sounds fairly good considering its age. The audio can be harsh and strident at times, and dialog can come across as a little unnatural and veiled. But the music is very nicely presented on this track, and there are even some nice directional effects and rear channel ambiance fill. The Director's Cut contains only a Dolby Digital 2.0 track, which is similar to the 5.1 version but is lacking in dynamics.
Michael Mann's films on DVD typically aren't loaded with extras because, the director prefers the focus to be on the film itself. However, Anchor Bay has gathered a couple of nice supplements to appease fans of the film. First is a 10-minute interview with director of photography Dante Spinotti, titled
The Manhunter Look
. Spinotti discusses his history with Michael Mann (they have worked together numerous times, but this was their first collaboration), and some of his methodology for shooting
. Next is the 18-minute featurette
Behind Manhunter
, containing new interviews with Petersen, Noonan, Cox and costar Joan Allen. It's a fairly entertaining supplement for fans, as the actors discuss making the film, how they prepared for their role, and what it was like working with Mann. A set of talent bios and the film's horrible theatrical trailer (presented in widescreen) round out the supplemental section. One last note - exclusive to the limited edition set is a novelty miniature manila FBI file folder containing a couple of brief essays, production photos and memorabilia from the film. The contents of the folder are a nice addition for collectors, but the folder itself is a bit cheesy. The pages in the file are loose, so be careful not to drop them.
So did Anchor Bay live up to fans' expectations with their DVD handling of
? Yes, pretty much. Dampening my enthusiasm somewhat is the lousy transfer of the Director's Cut on the 2-disc set, but I'm sure that Anchor Bay did the best they could to make a lousy source look as good as possible. I might have liked to see the deleted scenes simply pulled and isolated as a supplement, but I can't really complain considering. I don't mind so much that the extras as a whole weren't more informative or meaningful, because I've come not to expect many extras on Michael Mann discs anyway. I'm very happy with the audio/video quality of the theatrical version at least, and can count my blessings that Anchor Bay put great effort into making this version of the film shine. If you're a die-hard fan of
, spring for the extra $15 and get the limited edition of this DVD. It's nice to have both versions of the film in your collection for the sake of completion, and the novelty folder does contain some great tidbits. Otherwise, the single-disc theatrical version will more than please the casual fan.

What does nature really look like? Today, aided by the wizardry of modern scientific imaging instruments, we are able to see far more of the physical world than we ever dreamed possible. These devices can discern millions of invisible colors, look back in cosmic time some 14 billion years, peer behind and within seemingly opaque borders such as skin and bone, and capture events that last a mere trillionth of a second. Looking through their "eyes," we have acquired powers far more potent than Superman's X-ray vision: the powers of Super Vision.
From microscopes to telescopes, from magnetic-field detectors to chemical mapping probes, today's instruments make possible an entirely new view of nature. Super Vision is a comprehensive showcase of 200 breathtaking scientific images that span the world of phenomena from subatomic particles to the incomprehensibly vast structure of the universe. The accompanying text tells readers what they are looking at and explains the underlying technology. Also included is a huge, groundbreaking chart clearly illustrating the relative sizes of objects covered in the book. At once a primer on the scientific worldview and a reminder of the awesome, multidimensional beauty of nature, Super Vision simultaneously informs and delights.

(CNSNews.com) - Prosecutors in Florida have dropped criminal charges against the Miami judge who granted custody of Cuban refugee Elian Gonzalez to his American relatives.
Miami-Dade County prosecutors dropped campaign finance charges against Circuit Judge Rosa Rodriguez, who drew national attention last January when she ruled in favor of the US family of Gonzalez, the six-year-old boy who was rescued at sea in 1999 and brought to Florida only to be forcibly taken and returned to Cuba.
Rodriguez agreed to pay a $500 fine and give a speech to other judges detailing her fundraising pitfalls.
She was charged with violating the $500 limit on contributions during her 1998 judicial campaign after she funneled a $200,000 campaign loan from a former boyfriend through her brother.
The case was assigned to Polk County, Florida prosecutors in central Florida because of potential conflicts of interest for Miami-Dade prosecutors. Polk officials told reporters that proving criminal intent against Rodriguez would have been difficult.
Rodriguez has been on "paid leave" because of the investigation. A spokesman in Miami told reporters she was "very pleased" with the decision.
However, Rodriguez could still face disciplinary action from Florida's Judicial Qualifications Commission because of the Elian case. She granted custody of the child to his great-uncle in Miami. She later withdrew from the case after it was discovered that a liaison for Elian's Miami relatives had been her campaign consultant.
Meanwhile, Spencer Eig, one of the lawyers who represented Elian's Miami relatives in the case that eventually saw the child returned to Cuba with his father was pleased at the outcome.
"I was actually quite happy to see that. I thought that she was a very fine judge and I am glad that she will be able to continue in public service," Eig said Wednesday.

"Don't Say the Word 'Cancer' – Use 'Condition' Instead", Head of Plastic Surgery Association Advised Members
The New York Times (2/18, sorry must register) reports, American Society of Plastic Surgeons President Dr. Phil Haeck advised members during a Feb. 3 webinar to call anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) "'a condition' and avoid using the words cancer, tumor, disease or malignancy" when talking to patients considering breast implants.
Notably, the FDA recently announced that breast implants might cause an increased risk for ALCL. Public Citizen publicized a transcript of Dr. Haeck's comments Thursday. The advocacy group also wrote to the FDA, characterizing the advice as "a misinformation campaign devised to play down" breast-implant risks, and urging the agency "to put a stop to it."

Chemical Biology Approaches to Target Protein Modification in Disease
Conference Recording May 14, 2013
About the SpeakerDr Megan Wright works in the Tate Research Group at Imperial College London. Megan was awarded an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship to develop her work on chemical probes at Imperial. Megan passed her PhD viva on her thesis "Chemical tools for probing protein N-myristoylation in protozoan parasites", and continues her research in the group as a EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow. Megan was awarded an RSC Analytical Biosciences bursary to present her work at the Keystone Symposium on Chemical Biology in February 2012 in New Mexico.
My group works in the emerging multidisciplinary field of chemical proteomics, where we design and apply chemistry-driven approaches to explore posttranslational modification (PTM) in living systems. A constant theme in our work is the validation of enzymes involved in PTM as drug targets and discovery of novel drug-like enzyme inhibitors, using tools ranging from protein total synthesis and labelling to activity-based protein profiling and proteomics. Recent technological advances based on bioorthogonal ligation chemistry have enabled several classes of PTM, including protein lipidation, to be probed with greatly enhanced speed and flexibility, and are rapidly supplanting older approaches such as radiolabelling. In this presentation I will highlight some of our recent advances in probing protein lipidation using chemical proteomics, and describe how we have applied this technology to understand and exploit novel drug targets in protein lipidation pathways in parasitic infection and cancer.

"Kids Say the Darndest Things"
"Kids Say the Darndest Things" was the title of Art Linkletter's famous TV show decades ago and picked up by Bill Cosby in the 90s. Some of those comments and situations have been memorialized in his book which came out in 1957. Today you can catch up on some of the fun on Youtube.com.
Well, patients say the darnedest things, too. As the chaplain at LRH I see people get surprised by my visit. One guy exclaimed, "Who died?" In the ER I pleasantly introduced myself and before I could get to the nature of my visit, the patient's daughter asked, "Are you here to give last rights?" Seeing her mischievous grin, I chuckled and said, "No, I'm just going around this morning to see who's here, see who's awake, and welcome you to our place."
Those two times they were obviously joking. Of course, we need discernment to see when their fear or anxiety is real. While everything we do in healthcare is serious, we can do it with a joyful heart. The book of Proverbs says "A cheerful heart is good medicine." Modern research confirms it.

Danau Poso (Lake Poso) is Indonesia's third deepest lake and is located in south Central Sulawesi. It is beautiful but is today rarely visited by tourists due to recent strife in the region.
Lake Poso, measuring 32kms by 16kms, is located at around 650m above sea level and is a lot cooler than many places in the region. Danau Poso was a major tourist destination in Sulawesi before the outbreak of violence in 1998 left many dead and scared tourists away. It is safer to visit today although facilities are lax and have fallen into ruin for the most part.
Those who do visit will find a stunning blue lake surrounded by pretty beaches and a black orchid forest. The lake shores are comparable to the beaches of Lombok, such is their beauty. There is also a fair amount of wildlife at Danau Poso, including the pig deer (babirusa) and the dwarf buffalo (anoa), both of which are endangered and indigenous to Sulawesi.
The town of Pendolo in the south is the main settlement in the region, with Tentena at the northern end. Head for Bancea village for the wild orchids.
Danau Poso is a good 4 hours by bus from Palu (the Central Sulawesi capital), going by way of Sabulu. Palu's Mutiara Airport is the main gateway to Central Sulawesi, with 2-hour flights from Jakarta, where the country's main international airport resides.

Let me say up front, I have a lot of respect for Barry Zito. He practically carried an AL-only team of mine to a championship back when he pitched for Oakland. But as a member of the San Francisco Giants, he's caused me nothing but frustration. Despite that, I still took a $1 flier on him in the LABR draft -- and was rewarded with 10 earned runs in his first two starts. So last week, I decided to cut my losses and pick up a relatively safe middle reliever. And of course, Zito goes out and shuts out the Padres for seven innings. (Photo by Harry How, Getty Images)
There's talk that a faster delivery is going to make Zito more effective, but I have my doubts. Best of luck to his new owner, RotoWire.com's Dalton Del Don.
In a week's time, Zito goes from untradeable to the highest-priced FAAB claim in either league. Other top pickups (with their owner's corresponding roster move):
NATIONAL LEAGUE(click for standings)
Barry Zito ($13) -- put Chris Carpenter on DL
Jason Jaramillo ($9) -- put Ryan Doumit on DL
Augie Ojeda ($3) -- put Jack Wilson on DL
Matt Stairs ($3) -- cut Jeremy Reed
Jon Rauch ($3) -- cut Mitch Stetter
Zito's new owner gets an added boost with a pair of starts at home this week against the Dodgers and Rockies. Although he's not on my list of players I'll never own again, I'll probably sleep better knowing I won't have to check those Giants box scores first thing in the morning. With catchers Doumit and Brian McCann both going on the disabled list this week, Jaramillo was a popular claim -- especially since he's hitting .364. Ojeda will see a couple weeks' worth of regular playing time with Stephen Drew on the DL.
AMERICAN LEAGUE(click for standings)
Brad Bergesen ($7) -- cut Edwar Ramirez
Adam Eaton ($6) -- put Chien-Ming Wang on DL
Luis Montanez ($2) -- put Cody Ransom on DL
Danys Baez ($1) -- cut Joe Nelson
Jose Morales ($1) -- cut Josh Bard
Four Orioles at the top of the experts' wish list? Rookie right-hander Bergesen had a nice debut and appears to have a rotation spot for now. Eaton opened some eyes with a nine-strikeout victory over the White Sox on Thursday. But does he have anymore games like that in his 31-year-old arm? Montanez had reached base safely in 29 straight minor league games before being called up. Baez didn't pitch last year due to elbow surgery, but he's struck out 10 and walked only one in 10 1/3 innings. Morales may only have a week or so left on the roster before Joe Mauer returns.

4 shots out of 5
Tonight's cocktail I owe to Debra! Thank You Debra for tonight's cocktail recipe! Debra created this cocktail on her own, and I'm impressed! I am drinking this cocktail and really enjoying it for you and I both! Soon enough, you will be able to kick back on your porch and enjoy your very own creation, Leeches!
I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5. Actually the more I drink it the more I like it. It is said to be drank on your porch in a comfy chair on a summer evening, and I agree that is a perfect time to drink it. Good thing summer is coming up! I haven't had cocktails with lemonade in them before and quite honestly..........wasn't sure that it would taste good to me, BOY WAS I WRONG! This will be another cocktail to make at one of our summer BBQ's, along with Olivia's Back Porch Breeze.
Here is the recipe for Leeches:
- 3 shots lemonade
- 1/2 shot vodka
- 1/2 shot peach schnapps
- 1/4 shot Canadian whiskey (Debra has said Black Velvet, but I only had Crown Royal)
In a shaker, add ice, lemonade, vodka, peach schnapps and Canadian Whiskey. Shake it up real well and pour into a tall cocktail glass and enjoy!!
Here is a photo of the end result:
Here is a photo of the ingredients:
Cheers to you Debra and your creation, Leeches! Great cocktail, Thank You for sending it to me!

Primary school bending the rules?(38 Posts)
I posted here before about my slightly strange circumstances. In short.. My children spend a week with me then a week with their father, shared residency. I discovered last term they were late 2-3 days a week every week they were with him (never late with me). It's affecting one of our children who is anxious about being late, hates people "staring" at him, worries about it and it's become and issue when he is here with me too despite us never being late.
The Educational Welfare Officer noticed the lateness and became involved with the school and asked them to try and rectify it. The school spoke with my ex, have sent him two letters as well. My solicitor has said if it doesn't improve that I have a good chance of getting a Court to agree that the children need to be with me on school days to ensure their educational and emotional needs are met, but I need the school attendance reports showing the regular lateness to show to a a court.
I've had a meeting with the school last week who has said the lateness has greatly improved and it's now only once a week ish that he's late and that's shown on the lateness/Attendance records.
The thing is, I know it's not correct. My step children go to the same school and I'm there most days. I see him taking the children in late most days, yet he's not getting a late mark! The school policy is children arrive 8:50-9am. After 9am is marked as late. Yet I'm seeing him walking down the road at 9am or going in the school gates at 9:05 and it takes a few minutes to get round to their classrooms, sort bags and coats etc.
I was straight with the head and explained this. She said the teacher starts the register "soon after" 9am but it means that latecomers between 9-9:10 are marked in otherwise there would be lots of late marks and that looks bad on the school. She said the EWO reviews their books regularly. She said they lock the doors (no gate as such) from 0905 onwards but there are 4 doors so parents can usually get in one of them up until about 0910-0915 as it takes time to lock them all (rubbish!)
I'm so annoyed. It seems that the lateness is being "fudged" so make the school look good to the EWO's. What's the point of that. It totally ruins my point for Court too. I've this morning seen my son being dragged down the road moaned at and crying cause my ex couldn't get his arse out of bed on time. He walked past me gone 0905 so they wouldn't get into class til 0910 so ten mins late but his attendance report will not show a lateness I bet!
Shall I tell the EWO? Will they even care? Does lateness/attendance get taken into consideration for Ofsted reports etc?
Talk to your ex regarding the distress it is causing your DC.
Oh I have spoken to ex. He does to care. He has even told me he doesn't think I should be speaking with the school as what he does in "his time" is his business.
How old are the DC? Could they say something to their dad. The problem is you don't want to turn into the 'baddy'. 50/50 care of the kids is a great thing and it will benefit them. If you talk to EWO and involve courts etc. then you have a good chance of turning into the mum who restricts access of DC to their Dad. They will ultimately blame you even if he was in the wrong.
I would speak to the school and the EWO and perhaps they could have a meeting with you and your EX to discuss the problem.
Get the EWO to get a full explanation as to the lateness policy and why the school isn't abiding to it. Also to explain that it is having an effect on your DS is suffering from the lateness.
Other than standing outside the gates and timing him yourself if the school aren't recording it properly I don't know what to suggest. However that is a bit creepy
Note down time and date each time you see him arriving late and ask the head if she would be prepared to write a letter to the court saying that although the children are arriving before the end of registration at 9.10 they are still not making it for 9 am, that way her records still look good but she is backing you up to the courts.
Nostress, unfortunately courts are already involved, we have a Court Order in place for 50/50 residency. They are a bit young to voice their concerns to their dad to be honest. He doesn't see being late as an issue, he's always been like that and even a warning from the head didn't help! He doesn't care basically.
I am making a note of what time he arrives so I can show it to the head teacher. It's not really "stalking" lol as I am there at the school anyway and whilst I'm on my way back to where we park he has to pass me to get to school, if that makes sense.
Danann. I may do this. I already have a copy of the letter the he's sent him saying it's having a detrimental affect on them. A letter from th head confirming they often arrive 09:00- 09:10 would help.
What I really want to do is get the EWO to force the school to implement their own policies and record lateness correctly. He'd be shown as late almost every day of they would, then Id easily win the argument at Court and I can make sure they arrive in time everyday, much better for them both
I doubt any court would believe you if you note down every time they're late unless the school will back you up.
I'd work on the school (emotional distress of them being late etc) to work on him.
Yeah DeWe that's the problem. Bloody school aren't helping but ex is laughing isn't he. He must be wondering why he can be late all the time and the school no longer moan at him for it!
DeWe is right, a court wouldn't take times and dates on their own as proof, unless of course your ex is likely to admit to the judge that he's often late, then you could use it as a way of showing how often it is.
I meant keep a list of dates and times to go with the letter from school.
I am playing devil's advocate here... but the real issue seems to be you don't want a 50:50 share with your ex? If we are going to talk about emotional distress then you have to consider an unequal share as an emotional distress to at least some of the parties involved. I'm a teacher and the children are not missing anything that early in the day although it may be annoying/embarrassing for them. Taking this back to the courts will only upset them long term. Yes speak with head and get him to pull up your ex and make sure he complies with the school rules but don't use this as a means to get back at him or take the children from him.
I agree with nostress
Are you perhaps reading a bit too much into the policy? I'm not sure it's supposed to be read as you need to be in at 9 on the dot or else. More likely the register will be taken at 9 ish and if you are not there by the time it's taken you will be marked as late so better be there before then.
I wouldn't mark a child as late if they were in the classroom by the time I got to their name. I might mention it if they were consistently arriving at that time but never late enough that they arrived after the register was taken but that doesn't apply in your case as they are arriving that late 2-3 times a week and the EWO is involved. If I remember you last thread correctly they were arriving very late i.e. sometimes more than 1/2 and hr. I would think that would be enough evidence with out the additional lates.
in my school registration starts at 8.55, children are late if they arrive between 9.05 and 9.30 and unauthorized absence if they arrive after 9.30. I have been known to be lenient if they are at the gate buzzing by 9.30 but don't get across yard till 9.32!
I would ask to see their lates policy and tell ewo its not being correctly actioned and give dates and times you've seen him. photos with a date stamp on would be good.
do parents have to sign late children in, could that be checked.
The primary ny youngest is in has a late before register closes policy that gives an exrra 10mins or so before the y het marked late. If they arrive after gate has been shut then they have to be signed inband are marked late. Sounds like the school uses a similar set up and as I understand it that is permitted.
May be worth looking at how to aid your ds witu feeling less anxious about beibg late yoi voild request the school to aid you there if they have noticed tiss too

Get the head to put in writting to your solicitor what she has explained to you the reason for not giving them late marks despite knowing they are late. If she refuses then you advice her if the marks do not begin to reflect an honest picture you will report her to posted for falseifying the registrar, which is a legal document.
Report her to Ofstead not posted
Our school starts at 8:50 but the teacher doesn't even start the register til 10 am so in theory you could be 15 late and not be "late" too
There are legal requirements about marks they registar by law should closed at a certain time after bell official start times.
Thanks all. I'm wondering if it is wrong though. The attendance policy states they must be at school by 9am. However it doesn't state when the time cut off is for a late mark. It seems at the moment the register being completed, rather than a set time, is used as a late mark cut off point. If you scrape in before your name is called you are not late. Today I saw them arriving at 09:06 so wouldn't have been in the room until at least 09:08, they were being half dragged along the road and moaned at by my ex. The road down to school and the school playground was empty, all the other kids were in and parents had already left. They didn't get a late mark though. Would Ofsted care or would it be the EWOO "report" them too? Thanks guys all much appreciated x
"Them" being the school of course
Rug port to both
They may not get a late mark then, The register technically doesn't close until half an hour after school start time. So late before register closes is marked L and late after closes is marked U but if still taking the register when they get in then a L mark does not need to be added I suppose.
In my school, school starts at 9.00 and registers need to be taken by 9.10.
This is because the gates close at 9.00 and it takes a few minutes to get from the gate to the classroom and hang up coat/ bag.
The rule used to be registers at 9.00 but lots of parents understandably complained because they had sent their children in before the gate shut, but the child hadn't entered the classroom before 9.00 and so was late for the register.
I think it's quite a tricky area.
I now ask the children did you come through the gate or the office and if they say gate they get marked in but if they say office then they are automatically marked late.

The Big Bang Theory stars seek hefty pay raises
Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco will negotiate together, as they did in 2010. The moves come after co-stars Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch recently inked new deals with Warner Bros.tv Updated: Sep 19, 2013 12:21 IST
The stars of hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco are seeking sizable pay increases.
The moves come after co-stars Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch recently inked new deals with studio Warner Bros, the Hollywood Reporter said.
Emmy winner Parsons (Sheldon), Galecki (Leonard) and Cuoco (Penny) will negotiate together, as they did in 2010, and are looking for a considerable bump in pay from their current deal.
The trio currently earns $325,000 per episode and may seek up to $1 million an episode.
Original stars Simon Helberg (Howard) and Kunal Nayyar (Raj) also are said to be looking for increases and will renegotiate together.
The new deals for Bialik and Rauch, who joined the series midway through its run and were promoted from recurring to regulars, will see their salary jump from$20,000-$30,000 per episode to the $60,000 ballpark, with increases each year taking them to $100,000 per episode by the end of their new contracts.CBS has renewed The Big Bang Theory through its upcoming seventh season, which begins next week.
The series is up for the best comedy Emmy this year, with Parsons again in the running for best actor. The show has yet to win in the comedy series category.

Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
I have owned this bass combo amp for about 4 months. I have taken it to three concerts. It has been a great amp with truly earth-shaking sound!! I was a little hesitant before I bought it, but it was highly recommended by a friendand fellow musician so I ended up buying it. He was right: this is an excellent amp with excellent sound for a bass player. I also highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a combo amp. I bought the B450 Bass Combo plus also on the side," I bought the Acostic cabinet with the 15"" subwoofer that gives you 250W. So by connecting this Acoustic cabinet to the B450 it gives me the total output of 600W that the Acoustic B450 provides", which makes it even better!
Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
I'm happy with the amp. I like the power, the amazing tone control capabilities, and the portability. I'm also very happy with the sound produced by the amp. I look forward to using it at more gigs. The negatives mentioned above are minor, and do not detract from the overall quality of this amp. I'd recommend it to any bass player for it's adaptability to any playing opportunity.
I purchased this Amp in February 2012, but haven't had a chance to use it at a live gig until recently. I love the amp. I played an Acoustic 360 in the early 70s. It was a huge bass cab and amp but it was the only amp I ever needed back then. It could only be transported in a van or truck. The B 450 fits nicely in the front passenger seat of my Ford Mustang! It sounded great in all venues. The B450 is a powerful amp and the controls are fantastic. I've been able to finely adjust the tone to fit my basses (both Fender Jazz and Precision) and the venue...small clubs to outdoors in a park. Fine tuning the tone settings gives you a wide range of bass tones...much more than any other controls in other amps I've used in the past.
I have only two negatives and they are minor...the fan is a bit noisy but it doesn't matter once you start playing. The amp vents are on top of the amp preventing placement of items on top of the amp...which is probably never a good idea anyway. The ernie ball casters are the way to go since the amp does not come with casters. And no amp cover, but check out Home Depot for the Weber grill cover # 7450. It fits pretty well and protects the amp from dust and other debris. It's not a real sturdy cover but it does the job.
The amp cabinet is rugged and well built. I haven't had any problems with loose screws or buzzing or odd sounds. The amp has performed flawlessly for me. I like the two 10 inch speaker configuration anyway, and with the horn, the amp sounds terrific. I get deep bass tones and the highs come through crisp and clear. I worry a little about the soft material front grille cover, but like any other piece of equipment, you need to be careful while transporting it. My Ampeg Rocket bass amp has a soft cover and I'm just very careful when I transport it to jobs. It's never been a problem.
Based on comparison with other combo amps, the Acoustic B 450 is a fair priced piece of equipment. I have 3 other amps, two Fenders and an Ampeg, and the price of the Acoustic is close to the price of the other amps.
Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
I was looking for a portable rig that I could easily carry around. After doing some research I tried out the Acoustic B450 at Guitar Center and was blown away by the power and tone, which was close to and Ampeg. Despite the 71 pounds I decided to get it. Three months later it blew with the gain at 10 O'clock and the volume at 2 O'clock and returned it to Guitar Center, "luckly I purchased the 3 year warranty." They gave me a new one, but it was defective out of the box. It made a nasty rattle sound on the low b and began to spread on every chord. I took it back and traded it in for a GK MB210. They didn't have any in stock so they ordered it for me. Hopefully this one does better quality wise, sound wise I'm not so sure about. I tried out the display GK MB210 and it didn't have the same quality sound as the first B450 I got, and the power was disappointing compared to the b450 since it only pushes 350w into the cab. It's advertised as 500w but that's only on the output. All in all, Acoustic makes great sounding amps, but I'm questioned by their quality.
Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
This cab was making noise every time I hit a low Eb & or in that range sounds like a screw was loose.. Took it back got another one. My main bass is a Tobias 5 string with Elixir nano coated strings."bright but my bass is naturally beefy". If you want a Cab that will reproduce exactly what ur bass sounds like, then this is it then its loud for 2x10s nice bottom end. when u want it to Bite it handles well it can get a bit boomy but since the "EQ actually works" u can compensate. you can add a 15" to it just plug it in the back and boom.. Cons: you cant sit on top because the cooling fans are on top
Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
This amplifier is amazing. When I bought this as an upgrade to the crappy sounding Rumble 15 I have, I was blown away. This clarity and sound that comes out of this is MASSIVE and makes any Squier sound a lot better (it sure did to mine). Do buy amp casters though, otherwise its not going to be easy to carry. I don't even know if I'm going to buy an Ampeg because this thing is freaking awesome.
Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
I cannot say enough about this combo amp: more power than you'll ever need, side recessed handles to provide for reasonable moving of a 70+lb piece of equipment, cooling fan that's usually found in much higher priced amps, rugged exterior construction, and above all: cost per horsepower. Even Behringer can't top the value.
The ONLY modification I'd make if I ran the company would be to change the grill from that soft fabric to a metal grid (like GK and SWR--that looks rugged).
Yes, that header is correct: This is an extraordinary keyboard combo amp. The twin 10s and horn give you all the clarity, punch and brilliance that a Barbetta, Roland, Peavey, Traynor or any of the other so-called "keyboard" amps do, at half the price.
The only issue with bass combo amps that becomes restrictive when used as a keyboard amp is that you'll need to input your lines to a small unpowered mixer first, then run a single line out of that into the bass combo, since most bass amps have only one input. But even that additional cost coupled with the cost of this amp pales in comparison with a "real" keyboard amp that gives you four channels, lots of weight and not much more. If you play Hammond B3 sounds out of your keyboard, you cannot do better than a bass amp with twin 10s and a horn. It really gives that organ sound thickness and projection, unlike many keyboard amps.
Acoustic amps have been around longer than dirt.
This amp should sell for at least twice as much. You spend more for other companies' speaker boxes with no amps included.
Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
Got a great deal on one when the amp I was promised by the store was defective. I was skeptical about the product's claims, but all I can say is WOWZER! Tons of output power, great tone, the tone controls ACTUALLY WORK! Has sockets for casters, casters not included. The Ernie Ball casters work perfect. Let's see: 2 10's, a switchable horn, silent tuner out, up to 600 watts with an extension cab. Awesome (if it proves durable).
Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
Bought this w/a B510 and a B115. The B450 kicks serious butt and it can be silky-mellow to a serious slap/pop with perfect reproduction. There' a problem :: the factory iggys you if you have a problem. The speaker connex are defective and they don't care. If you can solder two wires though it's fantastic.
Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
I went to the store to buy different brand bass combo that was supposed to be 600 watts. It sounded like crap. The Acoustic 450 was sitting right next to it so I decided to try it. WOW. I was blown away by the clarity and punch that was delivered from a 2x10 cabinet. Extremely clean and deep lows. Excellent highs. One of the best sounding combo amps I have ever owned and I have been playing for over 20 years. The casters are a big plus because the amp is a bit heavy.
Comments about Acoustic B450 450W 2x10 Bass Combo Amp:
All I can say is WOW, for it's weight and size this Amp really delivers, I used to play through an Ampeg 2br, and thought it's sound was adjustable with it's EQ, but the B450 Really can shape your sound. I plugged a 1x15 cab to it and the low's on my 5 string really jumped to a whole new level, highly recommend this product.

TRURO – After overspending its economic development grants policy budget by $4,500 this year, Colchester County council has decided future requests will be handled as unbudgeted expenses on a case-by-case basis.
"Council has been very supportive in the past for festivals and events within the County," a staff report to council on a review of the municipality's Economic Development Grant (EDC) budget says.
"The economic spin off for the county and the level of quality events and festivals that are coming to our region is impressive making Colchester a destination for hosting events," the report continued.
The county's current EDG annual budget is $36,000. Council had previously approved a total of $40,500 in EDG grants for this year, providing the Truro Centurions Swim Club receives approval to host three provincial meets and uses the entire $4,500 it has been allotted.
But the report said pending requests for grants that staff are aware of will require an additional $14,000, which would bring this year's budget to $50,000.
But some council members including Mayor Bob Taylor and Councillor Doug MacInnis expressed concern that limiting the budget to $50,000 may not take care of all the upcoming requests, especially in light of the fact that the municipality is responsible for economic development activities now that the Colchester Regional Development Agency no longer exists.
"That was one of my concerns, was a limit of $50,000," especially this early in the fiscal year, Taylor said. "If we are going to set a cap we might want to go higher than that. In my opinion it would be great if $50,000 was enough but."
MacInnes agreed.
"My concern is just that. Is $50,000 enough," he said. "What's going to happen in two months time when we have another $20,000 (in requests) in front of us. Obviously the $36,000 is not enough and this is going to have to be increased not just this year but in future years. But we could have some great things come forward … I don't see how it has to be that number."
Given that the financial spin off to the area of some of the potential economic development ideas is "incredible", he said, added, "… if we are going to fund these things we have to have money to do it with."
Coun. Tom Taggart, however, argued against increasing the EDG budget.
"I'm not interested in adding any more money to that budget," he said, adding that such requests may have to be dealt through another area of the municipal coffers.
"But I'm not interested in putting an open-ended budget out there that everybody can come to us. I recognize the value of economic development as much as anybody else does," he said. "For me it's starting to become alarming when I open up my council package and the first six items on the agenda are requests for funding. And I believe its' beginning to get carried away.
"We need to be a little bit more stringent with the taxpayer's money."
In actuality there were four funding requests totaling $39,000, all of which were approved. They included $1,000 for the 2014 4-H provincial show; $2,500 for the Truro Theatre Society to assist with marketing for this summers theatre production in Victoria Park; $35,000 for Maggie's Place and $500 for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 26 to assist with restorative work on the Truro Cenotaph.
The first two requests were dealt with through the Economic Development Grant while the Maggie's Place contribution is to come from the municipality's non-profit grants program.
The legion contribution is being funded through general operations as an unbudgeted expense.
Regarding its EDG program, council voted to deal with future requests as unbudgeted expenses.

NZOG has a 22.5 per cent interest in the Kisaran block, in the prolifically productive central Sumatran region. The planned well, to which NZOG will contribute $US6.5 million ($6.17 million) in the initial phase, is to explore an undeveloped oil discovery made in 2006, as well as additional zones an earlier well did not touch.
A second well, Parit Minyak-3, is scheduled following construction of an access road.
NZOG has interests in three Sumatran exploration areas, and is also developing interests in Tunisia as part of a strategy to make the company less dependent on New Zealand finds after relatively unsuccessful local exploration failed to turn up replacements to its interests in the producing Tui and Kupe fields.
However, its New Zealand interests remain extensive, and include two new offshore Taranaki exploration licences won in the block offer tender round, results of which were announced late last year.
NZOG is working on drilling rig needs for a 2013-14 summer drilling campaign, with intentions to drill in the relatively shallow Kaheru prospect, the deeper Kakapo licence area, and the Matuku prospect in south-west Taranaki.
Both jack-up and semi-submersible rig options are under consideration, with Matuku operator OMV announcing last month that the fully refurbished Kan Tan-IV semi-submersible rig has been secured for drilling in the third quarter of this year.
NZOG holds a 12.5 per cent interest in Matuku.

Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs - Remarks at the Award Ceremony for Dr. Frances Kelsey
Remarks as Delivered of Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D.
Commissioner of Food and Drugs
Award Ceremony for Dr. Frances Kelsey
September 15, 2010
What an extraordinary series of reflections on the life and work of Dr. Frances Kelsey. There is no doubt that she was—and is—a remarkable women, with so many stories to tell. We are so grateful that she is with us today and so very much more grateful that her career path brought her to the FDA in the first place. Like for many of us, it was not a predetermined path.
I'm told that when Frances Kelsey completed her undergraduate degree in pharmacology in 1934, as a woman looking for work in the midst of the depression, she realized she had two choices: enter graduate school or join the bread line. "Those were about the only alternative in those days," Dr. Kelsey recently told one of our FDA historians. "I decided graduate work would be more interesting."
She looked for a program in biochemistry, wanting to study the "conductor of the endocrine orchestra," the pituitary gland. But when that department was full, she found a professor in the pharmacology department working on the posterior pituitary. Though it was considered unglamorous stepchild the gland back then, Dr. Kelsey could see the potential of her research and decided to pursue it. And, as we are all aware, that wasn't the last time her foresight paid off.
But before she could make the decision that would etch her name in the history books forever, Dr. Kelsey, then Frances Oldham, continued her studies. Some time after she earned her master's degree, she applied for a research assistantship position and PhD at the University of Chicago. And she was accepted. And as always, she broke new paths.
One thing bothered her about the acceptance letter. It began, "Dear MISTER Oldham." She wondered then: should she write and explain that Frances with an "e" is female and Francis with an "I" is male? And she wondered later: "if my name had been Elizabeth or Mary Jane," would "I have gotten that first big step up?" Sadly, I don't know…
But we can certainly agree today that we're all extremely lucky she did.
After finishing her PhD, attending medical school, and working as a practicing physician, Dr. Kelsey arrived at the FDA as a medical officer and reviewer of new drug applications—a job that took advantage of both her pharmacological training and her medical degree…a rare combination in the Bureau of Medicine.
She applied her knowledge and intellect to the tasks before her. As you all well know, she was given the job to review the drug thalidomide. She took that responsibility seriously, and she questioned what she saw. She scrutinized the data that came before her and all that she could find outside. She didn't settle for glib or easy answers.
The rest is history. And history makes clear through her story and through the consequences of the decisions she made at FDA and throughout her work, that Dr. Kelsey carved out a life and a career that elevated the principles and values of science-based decision making to the highest level. There is no doubt she saved lives and saved many thousand individuals and their families from devastating damage
Dr. Kelsey's contributions after the events of Thalidomide have received less fanfare and public notice, but may, in fact, be at least as important for the ongoing work of FDA and regulatory science.
Working with others, she helped to develop strategies and rules for medical testing that have resulted in the three distinct phases of clinical trials commonly utilized today. And drawing on her knowledge and experience, she also helped to really focus attention and strengthen rules and practices to address the critical issues of conflict of interest and human subject protection.
In so many ways, Dr. Kelsey has helped to define modern medical product testing and clinical trials. She has strengthened regulatory science in ways that have changed FDA forever, and her contributions have made a difference—and continue to make a difference—worldwide.
Today, we must build on her example. We must recognize the importance of bringing the best possible science to bear on all that we do: both importance of continually advancing regulatory science here at FDA and, working with others, the importance of continually building and extending the scientific framework for our regulatory work.
We must have the best regulatory science possible in practice at this agency, and we must recognize the need to commit wholeheartedly to our priority of strengthening the field for the future. For us to be the strong, effective public health agency we need to be—and we can be—we must approach those same principles of science with the same excellence and vigor that our honoree, Dr. Kelsey, did so many years ago.
After all, this award does much more than commemorate a 50th anniversary. It also celebrates the 49 years between then and now—years that were fundamentally and irrevocably shaped by the principles behind Dr. Kelsey's decision…the principles of a woman whose example continues to inspire us today.
I am pleased to be able to also bring to this celebration the thanks and greetings of both our Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, and our nation's President, President Obama. Dr. Kelsey, you will receive the originals of these letters at your home. But I hope you won't mind if I read them to you and the group assembled with us now.
[Letters from Secretary Sebelius and President Obama read by Dr. Hamburg.]
So Dr. Kelsey, as we honor you with this award, we also recommit ourselves to the scientific rigor and conviction with which you approached your job—and because of which, you transformed thousands of American futures. It is my privilege to present you with this award and to thank you for your extraordinary service to this agency and to this country.
And I speak for all of my colleagues when I say that it's our honor—and our commitment—to continue your great work here at the FDA. Fifty years later, we still follow your lead—and promise that we will going forward.

PHILADELPHIA — A multi-institution study led by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon University, has found that tying financial incentives to group weight loss led to significantly greater weight loss than cash awards based on an individual's success in losing weight on his or her own.
Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania
University of Pennsylvania Health System
The study, which appears in the April 2 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, enrolled employees of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia who had a body mass index (BMI) of 30 to 40 kg/m2. It compared two weight-loss incentive strategies. The first strategy paid individual employees $100 per month for each month that they met their weight-loss goals. The second strategy offered groups of five people $500 per month for each month they met their goals. In the second group, employees who met their goals received the balance of money unearned by employees who did not meet their goals. At the end of the six-month study, the group cash incentive led to a weight loss that was approximately seven pounds greater than the individual cash incentive.
An estimated 86 percent of large employers are using some kind of financial incentive to encourage their employees to lose weight. "To our knowledge, our study is the only randomized trial to compare the effects of group competition-based and individual incentives for weight loss," said the study's senior author, Kevin Volpp, MD, PhD, professor of Medicine and director, Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at Penn. "These new findings open up the possibility of more effective interventions for getting people to lose weight and could apply to other areas of serious health concern, such as smoking, as well."
The greater effectiveness of the group incentive was likely tied to the opportunity to earn a reward larger than $100 for achieving a weight-loss goal, and also the competition involved in such designs. The fact that most group members did not meet their weight-loss goals in most months likely provided additional inspiration by leaving a larger reward for those who did meet their goals.
"Under the Affordable Care Act, employers will be able to offer even larger financial incentives than they do now to encourage healthy behaviors among their employees," said co-author David Asch, MD, MBA, professor of Medicine and executive director of the Penn Medicine Center for Innovation. "Our study demonstrates that how one offers the incentive is critically important. A lot of employers, insurers, and health care institutions are rolling out incentive programs now, and with a little design help they can make those programs much more effective."
The study's first author is Jeffrey Kullgren MD, MS, MPH, a former Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania who is now an assistant professor at the University of Michigan. Additional Penn co-authors were Andrea B. Troxel, ScD; Laurie A. Norton, MA; Lisa Wesby, MS; Yuanyuan Tao, MS; and Jingsan Zhu, MS, MBA.
The primary funding source for the study was the National Institute on Aging (Grant RC2103282621). Support was also provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $6.7 billion enterprise.

Typhoid Cases Rise to 190 in Saudi Arabia
The number of typhoid cases in the Jizan region of Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen has climbed to 190, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Okaz said schools in the kingdom's southern province were the worst affected and that education authorities had mobilized a medical team to counter the outbreak. No death toll was reported.
Typhoid fever is contracted by eating food or drinking water infected with salmonella. Death rates of 10 percent can be reduced to less than one percent with antibiotics, according to the World Health Organization.
Okaz reported the outbreak for the first time on Monday and said 118 people had contracted typhoid in Jizan, which was already been hit by the deadly Rift Valley Fever (RVF) in September.
The death toll from RVF in Saudi Arabia stands at 108, while the health ministry in Sanaa has given a toll of 109 dead in Yemen.
RVF is a virus that affects mostly animals. It can infect humans who are bitten by mosquitoes, which carry the virus -- RIYADH (AFP)

Former councilman McIntosh first to apply for District 3 seat
CHAMPAIGN — Former Champaign City Council member Vic McIntosh on Tuesday night became the first to publicly throw his hat in the ring for an appointment to the soon-to-be vacant District 3 council seat.
The city has begun accepting applications for the seat after Kyle Harrison told officials he plans to resign on June 15 as he moves into a new home outside the district. Council members plan to appoint a new member on June 19.
McIntosh retired from the council in 2009 after choosing to not seek re-election. He had served more than a decade after being originally appointed in 1998 to fill a vacancy and twice winning re-election.
At the time he retired, he was still working, and his wife had health problems, he said, and he was concerned that he would not have time to devote to his council duties. He has since retired, and his wife "is feeling a whole lot better."
He has since worked on a committee that designed the new storm-water utility fee and says he misses city council work.
"When my name comes up (Wednesday) morning on your caller ID, you will know why I'm calling you," McIntosh told council members.
In other business, council members approved a rewrite of a section of the city's gambling ordinance to parallel a state statue on video gambling.
The new language does not really change anything, said City Attorney Fred Stavins. It is just a "cleanup" of an existing ordinance.
What did change, however, was a state statute in 2009 that legalized and established a tax on the proceeds of up to five video-gambling terminals at certain licensed establishments. The statute provided that a municipality may prohibit video gambling at bars, truck stops, veterans' and fraternal establishments, but that would also disqualify that community from receiving money from a state capital-projects plan.
As of Feb. 21, according to city documents, 78 communities and four counties had prohibited video gambling. With Tuesday's 7-2 approval of the rewrite of the city ordinance on video gambling, council members effectively chose not to prohibit it.
"Adults are well able to decide for themselves how they want to entertain themselves and what they want to do with their disposable income," said council member Tom Bruno. "And we don't need to be this level of a nanny state."
University of Illinois business Professor John Kindt — an academic expert on gambling — told the council about his fears of video gambling. He said video-gambling terminals are like the "crack cocaine of creating new addictive gamblers."
Council member Michael La Due, who voted against the ordinance rewrite with Will Kyles, said he worried that the state's actions in manipulating gambling to collect new money is disingenuous.
The state statute is "exploiting people's dreams to generate revenue," he said.

Arizona Veterinary Specialists (Southwest Veterinary Surgical Service, P.C.) (Dr. Tara M. Enwiller) DO NOT RECOMMEND. Found them to be incompetent, overprices and uncaring. AVOID. Gilbert Arizona
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
DO NOT RECOMMEND! Worst thing that happened to my dying dog was nightmare vet Dr. Tara Enwiller. She did a spinal tap what was so full of blood, no vet could read it so just four days later my little 6 pound dog had GET ANOTHER spinal tap -- at another vet office -- so the results could be read. And Tara Enwiller did the spinal tap directly into my dog's badly affected, crippled neck, something other vets told me they had no idea WHY she would do that -- they did the next one into his lower back. Tara Enwiller did not return EIGHT phone calls I made to her office to talk about the result of my dog's tests that she had done, nor discuss his prognosis, his diagnosis, nothing. She was MIA to discuss his case and the $1,200 worth of tests she had done, even though I had gotten my dog back from her far more crippled than when she got him. She also did an expensive CT scan when all doctors told me they would have done an MRI. Seems like she sold me what she had -- NOT what was best for my dog. She was rude, incompetent, uncaring, and a poor excuse for a vet. She never even touched my dog during the consultation, I had to ASK the office manager to please have Enwiller examine my dog during an examination! Top of Enwiller's incompetence with the rude attitude of office manager Jessica Greybill, and you have a disaster for your pets. Arizona Veterinary Specialists (Southwest Veterinary Surgical Service) is the last place you should entrust your beloved pets to. I started a court case against Enwiller and had as a witness the Chief of Radiology from one of the USA's top vet teaching hospital who said, among other things -- "Had she simply talked to you, and told you the details of your dog's tests, you would have KNOWN he had no chance. You could have stopped spending money and putting him through tests and let him die peacefully." Instead I ran him from vet to vet, including getting his tests redone and flying him to Oklahoma State University Vet Teaching Hopsital to REDO all her tests. (Lucky for nightmare vet Tara Enwiller, I dropped the case as I had to be out of the country for 5 months.) And what my beloved dog really needed was nothing - he needed to spend his last few days dying at home with me, comfortably, quietly, in peace. Instead he was poked, prodded, injected and passed from doctor to doctor. Dr. Tara Enwiller -- you are a nightmare. You should stop pretending you give a d**n about animals. Money -- yes. The true welfare of the animals in your care -- no.

Bisons fail to make up any ground in hunt for playoffs
PAWTUCKET, R.I. — Jackie Bradley Jr. drove in a pair of runs, one with a solo home run in the seventh inning, to lead the Pawtucket Red Sox over the Buffalo Bisons, 3-1, striking a damaging blow to the Herd's chances of making the International League playoffs.
Bradley, who played on two University of South Carolina College World Series championship teams, opened the season as the starting left fielder for the parent Boston Red Sox before he was demoted to Triple-A.
The loss dropped the Bisons (67-62) 3ø games behind first-place Rochester (71-59) in the North Division standings. What's more, the Herd fell 1ø games behind Pawtucket (68-60) and a half-game behind Norfolk (68-62) in the wild-card race. Also, Buffalo is only one game in front of Lehigh Valley (66-63) in the wild-card standings.
Rookie left-hander Sean Nolin (0-1) made the start for the Bisons and left with one out and two on in the sixth inning, trailing by 2-1. Reliever Joel Carreno gave up the homer to Bradley, an insurance run for the PawSox.
Buffalo's run came on a solo homer in the sixth inning by Clint Robinson, his second of the season. The Herd, which had six hits and three walks in the game left eight runners on, twice leaving runners in scoring position with two out.
Right-hander Charlie Haeger (4-3) pitched six innings for Pawtucket before turning things over to the bullpen, which shut out the Bisons on two hits the rest of the way.
Pawtucket took the lead in the fourth when Jonathan Diaz, who had led off with a walk, scored from second on a two-out single by Drew Sutton.
In the fifth, Jeremy Hazelbaker led off with a single, stole second and scored on Bradley's single to center.
The Bisons left four runners on over the last three innings.
Catcher A.J. Jiminez, who joined the Bisons on Saturday from Double-A New Hampshire, made his first start at catcher. He batted ninth and was 1 for 4 with a single in the fifth inning.
Kyle Drabek (1-0, 0.00) will start tonight in the third of the four-game series against the Sox (7:05, Radio 1520 AM) against right-hander Clayton Mortensen (2-0, 3.52).
