|Ewe Estrual Control: Are Vaginal Pessaries the Answer?
|Tilton, Jim; Light, Merle R.
|Several means were used to try to control sexual behavior in sheep. Success was varied. These methods included the use of injectable materials and oral administration of hormones and allowing limited exposure time to light. In some instances the amount of time spent applying techniques' of estrual control was not worthwhile. A technique new to 1968 for the administration of estrus suppressing hormones was developed. It involved the insertion of a sponge saturated with "Cronolone" into the vaginal region. The vaginal pessary was inserted with a plastic tube (speculum) and plunger apparatus. Insertion was a relatively simple operation, requiring only a few minutes per animal. It was concluded that by preventing ovulating hormone (LH) release the oral progestogens, the vaginal pessaries may have provided a satisfactory means of estrus synchronization. The pessaries effectively controlled the occurrence of estrus as evidenced by 87 8 % of the ewes coming in heat within six days after treatment. Estrogen production, which required ovulating hormone, was retarded until the pessary containing progestogen was removed.

Ratings for Dr. Michael F. Felong
So glad to have found Dr Felong! He spends time and shows genuine care for your concerns. His staff is absolutely the best, especially Jennifer. You can always count on them. Thank you DrFelong and staff!
Wonderful doctor and great staff. Dr. Felong takes the time to really get to know his patients and gives personalized care and attention, which is so rare these days. The office staff is very caring and helpful and they go above and beyond to get things done for their patients.
Wonderful, all the way around. Could not be happier with this office
If you want a Dr. that treats you like Dr's used to do, then this is your Dr. He listens to every word, offers great advice, and should you need a specialist, he refers you to the best Drs available. I am so happy that my friend referred him to me. I am very pleased with staff as well. One thing I especially love about him, is that he will sit and discuss your health issues, until you are completely satisfied. He adjusts his patient load so that every patient feels as if they are his only patient I highly recommend him! He does not wear a watch, so isn't constantly looking to see how much time he is spending with you...
People only seem to want to write when they have something bad to say, and unfortunately the people who are satisfied and happy go about their business and don't write at all. I am sure this Doctor has hundreds of patients, so don't always believe what just a few people have to say. This doctor and staff are great.
Horrible office staff :( | show details The doctor is great. His office staff is horrible. The so-called office manager is the worst, Judy Paulk. How this undesirable, no personality, rude, insincere person has worked in a doctor's office or for that matter in the customer service field for many years is beyond belief. The receptionist started off ok, but after Judy blew up with her attitude in my face, the receptionist had an atttude as well, probably because she feared she would be fired unless siding with her so called office manager. The two girls up front dressed and acted very unprofessional. Take my advice, save yourself the time and aggravation of going to this place and go elsewhere. Like I say the doctor was good, but unfortunately patients have to deal with the front office first and if you ask to speak with the doctor, they will not let you. I would bet Dr. Felong would love to know how his staff operates. I think a couple of unprofessional acting individuals would be in the bread line.
Dr. Felong and his staff seem to genuinely care about my health and comfort. Doctors like him are hard to come by nowadays.
I don't know why people give bad rating for great doctors. This Doctor and staff are especially great, don't let anyone tell you different. I have been coming here for over 10 years , and it is a very friendly , open , and comfortable office. 5 star
Dr. would rather tell you that your medical problems are due to old age. I have talked to other patients who were told the same thing. That way, he doesn't have to get any tests to find out what's REALLY wrong with you. Maybe he is too old and he needs to retire. He has been practicing a long time. He just might be getting tired.
The doctor and his staff are very helpful and great people to deal with, I give them a A+ rating.

Before May 2013, there were five separate categories of autism diagnosis. Today, according to the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic manual, the DSM-5, there is just one Autism Spectrum Disorder. Whether your autism is very severe or relatively mild, whether your diagnosis was Asperger syndrome or Autistic Disorder, you are now grouped under the same umbrella diagnosis. If you already have an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis—even one that no longer exists in the DSM—you are still considered to be autistic.

The DSM-5 matters. That's because this manual, sometimes called the "Bible" of mental health diagnosis, is used to determine who gets services, what kind of services they get, and whether or not they are eligible for particular forms of education.

Here are the basic diagnostic criteria for the DSM-5 Autism Spectrum Disorder:

A. Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as manifested by the following, currently or by history:

1. Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, ranging, for example, from abnormal social approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation; to reduced sharing of interests, emotions, or affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interactions.

2. Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction, ranging, for example, from poorly integrated verbal and nonverbal communication; to abnormalities in eye contact and body language or deficits in understanding and use of gestures; to a total lack of facial expressions and nonverbal communication.

3. Deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships, ranging, for example, from difficulties adjusting behavior to suit various social contexts; to difficulties in sharing imaginative play or in making friends; to absence of interest in peers.

B. Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities, as manifested by at least two of the following, currently or by history

1. Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech (e.g., simple motor stereotypies, lining up toys or flipping objects, echolalia, idiosyncratic phrases).

2 .Insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines, or ritualized patterns of verbal or nonverbal behavior (e.g., extreme distress at small changes, difficulties with transitions, rigid thinking patterns, greeting rituals, need to take the same route or eat the same food every day).

3. Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus (e.g., strong attachment to or preoccupation with unusual objects, excessively circumscribed or perseverative interests).

4. Hyper- or hyporeactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment (e.g., apparent indifference to pain/temperature, adverse response to specific sounds or textures, excessive smelling or touching of objects, visual fascination with lights or movement).

C. Symptoms must be present in the early developmental period (but may not become fully manifest until social demands exceed limited capacities, or may be masked by learned strategies in later life).

D. Symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of current functioning.

E. These disturbances are not better explained by intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) or global developmental delay. Intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder frequently co-occur; to make comorbid diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability, social communication should be below that expected for general developmental level.

St James Cycle Trail
New Zealand Cycle Trail
Canterbury , South Island
Planning on riding the St James Cycle Trail? Contact us for help in planning your itinerary and booking your trip.
The St James Cycle Trail is the first trail of the newly developed Great Rides to be completely ride-able. It is however outside the mould of the other cycle trails in that this ride is strictly for advanced cyclists.
There are not enough superlatives to describe the incredible high country scenery surrounding the St James Cycle Trail. Surrounded by the publicly owned St James Station words such as huge, desolate and untouched spring to mind, and it's less than 10 kilometres from the tourist haven of Hanmer Springs.
The St James Cycle Trail proper starts from a car park at the top of TopHouse Road just before Lake Tennyson. From Hanmer Springs take the steep gravel Clarence Valley Road which is off Jacks Pass Rd. As you come down from Jack's Pass the valley opens out, turn left onto TopHouse Road at the Y Junction. The car park is about 30km from the turn off. Driving toward the track start you will pass the old St James homestead on your left hand side after about 3.5km. This is the end of the St James Cycle Trail. If you are going to ride the trail as a whole circuit it may be wise to park and ride from here. Alternatively, if you have two cars leave one here.
TopHouse Rd is flat and gravel although it contains some large potholes and corrugation.
From the car park at TopHouse Rd the trail is signposted. It starts with a meandering trail undulating through the high country grazing land, leaving you wondering what all the fuss is about. Lake Tennyson is on the right but out of sight. It is not long before you begin a decent climb up Malings Pass of about 250 vertical metres as the trail threads its way through the pass and around Mount Stanley. The trail is wide and easy riding bar the climbing. The descent however is much steeper and will have most riders' brakes burning with a number of deep runoff trenches to be navigated to avoid going over the handlebars. The sections through the native beech forest will have you hooting and hollering with joy.
As you come down the hill the Waiau River sprawls its way across the valley floor. The 4WD trail makes way for newly developed wide single track through scrub, matagouri, and tussock. After 17km from trail start you will come to the turn off to Lake Guyon on the left and Lake Guyon Hut, 2.5km up the turn off. This is the end of the section of the trail classified as intermediate and the beginning of the advanced riding. It would be a nice day ride to come into Lake Guyon for a picnic or some fishing, but be aware that the hill back over Malings Pass would be a long walk and bike push for most riders without a high level of fitness. It is also possible to walk and carry your bike for from Lake Guyon up over Fowlers Pass for some sweet single track back down to TopHouse Road (we are not certain how long this takes as we have not done it - but reports are between 90 mins and 7 hours!!!).
From the Lake Guyon turnoff you need to be keeping a sharp eye out for the blue DOC markers showing the trail. In many places the trail is not necessarily well defined and you will find yourself riding over grassy fields or navigating through tussock or matagouri where you could easily pick up a cattle trail and head off in the wrong direction. The track from Lake Guyon to the Saddle Spur swing bridge, the first of two newly developed bridges over the Waiau River, is flowing and great riding. Although the bridge at Saddle Spur marks close to the halfway mark the ride gets much harder from here and subsequently the second half will take you much longer.
Immediately after crossing the Saddle Spur swing bridge you are faced with a 20 to 30 minute granny gear grind and bike carrying climb up over Saddle Spur. Follow the blue markers as you zigzag up a grassy field where there is no actual trail before an obvious track sidles its way round the spur. There are times where the trail narrows to not much more than a goat track and the steep fall to the left of you makes it pretty unrideable for most riders. Once over Saddle Spur and down the tricky descent the trail once again opens out weaving it's way through a forest of tyre munching Matagouri trees, bring lots of spare tubes if you are not riding tubeless. You will ride right past Pool Hut which is very welcoming for a cup of tea, lunch or an overnight stop.
Once again you cross over the roaring Waiau River, this time on the newly built Macarthur swing bridge. Be cautious on the decent immediately after crossing the bridge - it is steep and rocky. The hardest part of the ride is however behind you.
After Macarthurs Bridge the trail becomes fast and smooth 4wd and farm track that almost fools you into thinking that it is all plain sailing home. But not until you get a good kilometer or two of bone crunching river bed with boulders the size of small buildings to navigate through and a nasty climb up over Peters Pass after a long time in the saddle. Three of four switchbacks will have your legs and lungs pushed to the limit.
Once at the top as they say, it's all downhill from here. The trail proper turns right at the sign onto old farm trails into Peter's Valley and onto St James Homestead. Alternatively if the legs and mind are weary the 4wd Edwards Valley road provides a quick relatively smooth descent back to TopHouse Rd and a few kilometers to the Homestead. For those riding back to the starting car park it might be easiest to take the Edwards Valley Rd down to TopHouse Rd effectively saving yourself 4 or 5 kilometers.
Whether taken as an epic one day ride or staggered over a few days (with possible overnights in Lake Guyon, Pool and Scotties Huts or many camping possibilities) the St James Cycle Trail will surely become recognised as one of New Zealand's greatest mountain bike rides. It is truly a magnificent adventure and made all the better that the theraputic Hanmer Spring's award-winning natural hot pools are ride there to soak away the bumps and bruises.

About the Book
There is a legend in Africa which speculates that elephants approaching death would leave the herd and migrate to a place known as the Elephant Graveyard. It is believed this graveyard is the final destination for literally thousands of elephants and that their bones and rare ivory litter the area. This graveyard has never been discovered and has been the subject of speculation for centuries.
There are rumors of a vintage automobile graveyard that is the resting place for thousands of cars. The story is told of aircraft hangers lined with rows of tables covered with brass lights and vintage carburetors and of display cases filled with early brass speedometers and rim wind clocks. There are accounts of rooms stacked with wire wheels and of dozens of transport trailers full of antique auto parts.
The antique auto necropolis has been discovered and this book documents a small part of it's rare treasures that have been hidden for decades.

About the Creator
Robb Wolff first became interested in old cars when he and his father rescued a 1926 Model T roadster pickup from a scrap heap near the Alberta-Montana border. At age 14 he was allowed to drive it around town with impunity as the town policeman didn't consider that driving a Model T required a license. Robb discovered an interest in photography in the late 60s when he purchased his first SLR. Now, decades later, he legally drives the same roadster pickup and is rarely without his digital SLR.

Though the tale, adapted from Stephen King's best-selling novel, starts out with an eerie sense of foreboding, Dreamcatcher fails to deliver thrills and chills. But it could easily make one ill, with its numerous scenes of blood, guts and dismemberment.
The movie traces the lives of four small-town boys who rescued a retarded boy, known as Duddits, from the clutches of cruel bullies. For their courage, Duddits somehow conferred upon his protectors the gift of mind reading.
Dreamcatcher ( out of four) Stars: Morgan Freeman, Thomas Jane, Jason Lee, Damian Lewis Director: Lawrence Kasdan Distributor: Castle Rock Entertainment (Warner Bros. Pictures) Rating: R for violence, gore and language Opens Friday nationwide
Twenty years later, during the quartet's annual visit to a cabin in the remote woods of Maine, all manner of mayhem ensues. As a blizzard rages, the men are confronted with an alien force that takes the form of a multi-fanged eel. For reasons that are unclear, it transforms itself by taking over the body of one of the men (Damian Lewis), assuming the inexplicable (and hardly terrifying) moniker of Mr. Gray and feigning a British accent.
It's hard to say which is more painful: watching a man be gobbled up by the evil eel or suffering through Mr. Gray's silly posturing and maniacal grin. And if all that's not laughable enough, poor Morgan Freeman, as a military official, delivers some of the movie's worst lines. Of refugees believed to have been exposed to aliens, he says: "They drive Chevrolets and shop at Wal-Marts and never miss an episode of Friends. These are Americans. And it kills me to have to slaughter Americans."
It's hard to believe esteemed screenwriter William Goldman, who adapted King's Misery to the screen and also wrote Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men and The Princess Bride, had a hand in this.
Dreamcatcher was directed by Lawrence Kasdan, whose The Big Chill, Body Heat and The Accidental Tourist were seminal movies of the '80s. Is this how an auteur director who can't get his personal projects made must prove his bankability?
Studio execs should rethink their policy of always adapting the books of successful authors and, instead, consider taking a chance on original material.

Martin Scorsese and "The Departed" producer Graham King will join forces once again to produce "The Young Victoria", a biopic about Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
Apparently wanting to follow the recent critical success of both "The Queen" and "The Last King of Scotland", Martin Scorsese is re-teaming up with Initial Entertainment Group's Graham King to produce "The Young Victoria", a biographical feature of Queen Victoria, who was also the first Empress of India during her reign in British Empire.
Scorsese has been known to have a well-established relationship with King, who produced several of his directorial works like "The Departed", "The Aviator", and "Gangs of New York."
The project, introduced to King by Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, will center on the first, often turbulent, years of the queen's rule plus her legendary romance and marriage to Prince Albert. Her reign is known to be the longest in the history of the United Kingdom, ruling for 63 years until her death in 1901.
Attached to direct is Canadian helmer Jean Marc Vallee with script being penned by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes. Apart from Scorsese and King, Ferguson is also set to produce alongside Tim Headington.

"Well, I'm not a nuisance yet with rheumatics and bellyache," observed Lady Crowborough.
She noticed how lame our granny was with the rheumatics, and told me to send up for broth.
I allus has it, and rheumatics tu—just here, cruel, your reverent.
"Too bad the rheumatics bother so, gran'," said the child, consolingly.
"Nowt but the rheumatics has ever come out o' my cup," said Jan gravely.

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis Land in NYC
Making their return to the Big Apple, Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis showed up at JFK International Airport in New York City on Tuesday night (March 4).
The pregnant "Incredible Burt Wonderstone" babe looked to be in good spirits as she led her beloved dog Paco through the terminal while her handsome "We're The Millers" fiancé signed autographs.
Olivia and Jason were busy in Los Angeles with all of the festivities of the 86th Academy Awards, so they're likely glad to be getting back to normal.
Meanwhile, Ms. Wilde is slated to give birth to their child in about eight weeks as her due date is said to be in May.

Medical Definition of Cupping
Cupping: 1. Cupping therapy is usually used as part of acupuncture or body work treatment.
2. Cupping therapy involves heating the air inside a glass cup, which removes some of the air from the cup. The cup is then quickly placed on the skin, and the resulting vacuum pulls the skin part of the way into the cup. The cup may be left in place for several minutes and then removed, leaving behind a bright red, circular welt. The theory behind cupping is that it moves or stimulates the body's natural energy — also called qi.

Got 64 dreams (But a disk drive ain't one)
by Keeper Garrett on Mar.31, 2014, under Commodore 64, Retro, Short updates
Ancient history is one of my stronger subjects and the study of times long past is fascinating to me. For video game 'ancient' history, the end of this period would be ushered in with the release of the behemoth that was Commodore's '64'.
As any retro game fan/computer historian will tell you, the Commodore 64 broke ground when it came to having a computer in the home affordable for everyone. Roughly, the C64 was about ⅕ the price of the contemporary Apple Mac, it was able to do colour and was sold with video game peripherals. Its affordability, capabilities and eventually huge software range would make the C64 the first true mass market computer. It was a very important piece of hardware, as the video game industry had crashed in the USA back in 1983. The C64 filled the gap, by providing a mix of games and office applications. A household could feel that they were buying more than some video console fad.
My experiences with the Commodore 64 ran well into the 1990s and I often found myself wanting to use this older machine, and not my much newer Amiga 500. Perhaps it was an early wish to be more 'retro' on my part, but I remember being slightly disappointed when Dad told me he'd decided to get an Amiga over the older Commodore. As you, dear reader, would be aware, this was not a choice either of us regretted.
So it was that my C64 playing would be limited to at my cousin's, and at a school friend's house. All in all, I think I've spent less than 20 hours playing on a C64, which is not very much at all! Sadly, about 10% of that time would be consumed with waiting for games to load. Yeah, it's slow.
Two fantastic games I remember were Platoon and Impossible Mission. They had in common a very high level of difficulty! Although Platoon was released on the Amiga, as was the Impossible Mission 2, the C64's version had a special charm. The step from C64 to Amiga is similar to that of the NES to SNES. The crisp chiptune sounds were generally traded in for a higher quality but still rudimentary set of digital effects. It's hard to explain, but although the Amiga and SNES are technically far superior, the result is often less lovable.
Pit Stop 2 was also fantastic, although I always blew out my tires and only rarely could I beat my cousin. I have mentioned this before, but the Epyx games on the C64 had some fantastic covers, some of the best of all time in my opinion.
I may end up buying a C64 in the mid term because I feel like I missed out on this formative part of video game playing history. I had better make sure to get a disk drive version or the loading times will have me pulling my hair out!

I'm pumped to see these uniforms in person in just a few weeks.
Nike on Monday released the gear Army and Navy will be wearing in the annual tilt between the two acadamies. I had the privilege of going to the game last year, and I must say it is one of the coolest events in sports. My girlfriend has two cousins on the Army team, so we had up-close tickets at Lincoln Financial Field last season, right in front of where Army fumbled a late drive that would have ended Navy's streak of dominance in the game.
It's the traditions, woven into these jerseys in various patches, that make it so special. This year's game will be back in Philly on Dec. 14.
These uniforms remind me of the Cascade helmets the Mids brought out last year, my favorite special lacrosse helmet unveiled in the past few years. I especially like the "Don't Give Up the Ship" undershirt.
Next thing on my sports bucket list: Army-Navy lacrosse game at Michie Stadium.
More details, via Nike's press release:
NIKE FOOTBALL ARMY UNIFORM Army's striking white and grey uniform pays tribute to the enduring legacy of General Winfield Scott, nicknamed "Old Fuss and Feathers" for his insistence on maintaining proper military dress. Scott served as General in the U.S. military longer than any other. During the summer of 1814, in the heat of the War of 1812, General Scott led a company of soldiers to victory against the British—the first U.S. victory on open ground. All West Point cadets still wear the same color grey as worn by General Scott on that day, which carries over to Army's new football uniform pants and baselayer. The sleeves of the baselayer are decorated with elements of the West Point crest—olive branches (representing peace) on one sleeve, and oak leaves (representing strength) on the other. The Army helmet carries a deep gold hue with a black stripe down the center.
NIKE FOOTBALL NAVY UNIFORM Navy's uniform design pays tribute to the dying command of Captain James Lawrence: "Don't Give Up the Ship." Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry flew a flag emblazoned with the statement during the decisive Battle of Lake Erie, one of the biggest naval battles of the War of 1812. Perry's charge engrained a never-say-die attitude in the U.S. Navy and the sentiment remains to this day. Mimicking the burlap fabric of the "Don't Give Up the Ship" flag on display at the Naval Academy, Navy's baselayer serves as poignant reminder of action-based tradition. The baselayer top also acts as the root for the uniform, which matches a navy jersey to white pants—in step with the Navy's dress uniform. A Naval officer's cover serves as inspiration for the helmet design with a thick gold stripe representing the traditional gold braid.
Both the Army and Navy Nike Pro Combat uniforms work as unique systems built from the inside out, as the athlete's baselayer works in concert with his jersey and pants. The Nike Hyperwarm Shield Max Mock provides athletes with a streamlined, thermo-regulated baselayer that doesn't sacrifice warmth. This piece features lightweight panels to reduce bulk as well as side mesh gussets allowing for a full range of motion and extra breathability. Nike Dri-Fit Max twill accelerates the pull of moisture from the skin, keeping the body dry and helping to eliminate chill. Nike Shield Technology provides additional water repellency on the arms to prevent outside moisture from contacting the skin.
Both teams will wear the Nike Alpha Pro Cleats and Nike Vapor Jet 2.0 Shield Gloves. Made using seamless Nike Hyperfuse construction on the back of the hand for wind and water-resistance, the Nike Vapor Jet 2.0 Shield Glove is equipped with a fleece lining for extra warmth. The palm features Nike Magnigrip material to catch in any condition. With a 3/4 length Phylon wedge at the midsole, the Nike Alpha Pro Cleat promotes forefoot control through low profile cushioning. The bladed cleat base provides 360-degree traction for precise cuts on all surfaces.

Gordon Mooreby Ben LaRocco
Betty Cuningham
Betty Cuningham is currently exhibiting a painter named Gordon Moore. His canvases are all vertical. Each is cut horizontally in two by a lightly rendered grid that serves as backdrop to the slashing and meandering brushwork taking place over its surface. The deployment of the grid could be understood on occasion as a foil to the looser brushwork or as a structural device, but its imposition in each and every painting suggests something deeper that I choose to identify with the field of vision. With his extraordinary brushwork, Moore attempts to glean form from his underlying armature while he manipulates and generally readjusts his surfaces.
This line work is the crux of Moore's paintings. At close range, the viewer is treated to a tour de force of the artist's control of his medium. In a painting such as "Grip," lines are taped and tape is used as a line. Fat paint is dragged lazily along and lean paint is pushed around; lines are fast and slow, even and broken, focused and obscured. Elemental to painting, these qualities are greatly satisfying in their own right. "Grip" also fascinates me with its title, which acknowledges an attempt to perceive—to "get a grip" on what one is seeing. It's spooky, vaguely arachnoid, with its muted palette of grays and earth tones punctuated with occasional slashes of primary or secondary color.
When viewed from afar, these paintings take on another aspect. The variety of line begins to converge into a semblance of form, creating the impression that what one experiences at close range in these paintings as chaos is in fact a part of a greater order. The artist appears to have an object in mind that he intends to render. Then he is stymied. He stops, perhaps uncertain of his object, and leaves us with only lines designating its essential structure. Judging by Moore's paintings, perception is a trickier proposition than it might as first appear.
At what point it can be said: I identify this thing as independent from and opposed to other things; I am able to perceive it in its entirety. I recognize my friend across the street, but is he truly present to me apart from the pavement on which he walks, the buildings that surround us, the cars passing between us and the sky overhead? I see those things as I see him—all parts of the whole impose themselves on my gaze and I must struggle to select the part to which I wish to give my particular attention. In the infinite flux of things, can an autonomous form be thought to exist? The cubists were after just such a full understanding of objects. Moore is ultimately reluctant to define anything emphatically before his sturdy underlying structures, suggesting that the limits and order of seeing trump any object of sight to which we might temporarily cling.

Ive been following the evolution of Glenn Goldberg as a painter since I was exposed to his work in 1986. It was on the occasion of his recent exhibit All Day at Betty Cuningham Gallery (February 28 April 4, 2015), in cooperation with Jason McCoy Gallery, that I was finally able to view his latest output, and to sit down with him afterwards on-site to catch up and discuss his work, and more.

Never forgotten
by Gwendolyn Ann Smith
Originally printed 11/17/2011 (Issue 1946 - Between The Lines News)
Summer wanes, and the days get shorter. Blue skies give way to grey skies and the occasional rain shower. A slight chill now accompanies the sun's warmth - not to long ago pervasive and penetrating.
The change from summer to autumn has been a part of my life for as long as I've been alive, but in the last thirteen years, it has taken on a new connotation. It reminds that the Transgender Day of Remembrance is coming.
Not that I could forget, mind you. You can tell from its very name that it isn't here to be forgotten. For me, personally, it's indelibly marked on me, as permanent as a scar.
It's not something that crops up in my calendar app, or that others need to remind me about. It's not something I program around, like one might hang their seasonal tinsel in anticipation of the holidays. It's not the time I start to craft a carefully worded fundraising letter.
In some ways, I dread even having to write about it at all. Not because - after all these years - I won't have anything to say, but because there still quite a few things left to speak about.
Back in 1998, when I first had the notion to look at the state of anti-transgender murders, I did not think anyone would care. From anything I could tell, our dead were forgotten weeks after they perished. When Rita Hester died on Nov. 28 of that year, the trial of William Palmer - who had been accused of murdering Chanelle Pickett on Nov. 20 - had concluded roughly a year and a half prior. Yet some in Massachusetts, where both deaths occurred, could not recall Pickett's case.
So I began to chronicle these names. Not for the hope that anyone would pay attention, or that we'd have a big event every year, but that at least someone was not forgetting.
I recently talked with Ethan St. Pierre, who is the Squiggy to my Lenny when it comes to the Transgender Day of Remembrance. He and I discussed the difficulty in chronicling all these cases, how it changes you. You can't look into the eyes of those we've lost lightly. It's never just another murder, each one is a person, each one could be you, your friend, your family. Each one you have a sort of kinship with.
I think back to the Gwen Araujo murder. Seeing her in her coffin at the funeral home. Getting to know her family. Sitting in several courtrooms. Looking at forensic evidence. Watching her killers just a few feet from me, smiling and joking with their own families. Listening to eyewitness reports of what happened that night - and listening to defense attorneys try to claim that a several hour beating was somehow a moment of "transgender panic."
I think back to other cases, and how each affected me. Looking at those photos and hearing their stories, hearing the pleas from their parents and friends, and watching the trials and legal machinations changes you.
Then there are the new cases. You see, it doesn't really stop, at least not yet. There are cases every couple of weeks. There's many more than this we may never know of. Even with more than a decade of awareness, even with a lot of transgender victories in both the legal arena and the court of public opinion, we still die at a rate consistent to what we were in 1998.
The cases are not any less brutal, either. Not that you'd expect them to be. Our murderers don't typically kill us and go on their way: they attempt to obliterate us, to erase us fully from existence.
Consider one of the most recent - as of this writing - cases, that of 19-year-old Shelly Moore in Detroit. Her mother, Lyniece Nelson, had reported her as missing. Then Nelson had to identify her child solely from a charred torso.
Moore's killers did not just kill this teen. They dismembered her. They burned her. They dumped the remains along a service drive on the side of an Interstate. They did all they could to make her a non-entity.
This is why we don't forget. They may kill us, but we won't let these murderers get the chance to erase us from existence. We remember, and we fight to make a society where killing us is not an option, where maybe some day we can look at the Transgender Day of Remembrance as a curious part of our past, much like one might baffle over medical treatment in the days before sterilization.
It's not that we want to have a Transgender Day of Remembrance, it's that we still need to have one. Our deaths, as I said above, continue to happened at the same rates as they seemingly always have, from as best as we can tell. Some things have changed, but this remains an alarming constant. We still seem to lack the simple right to exist.
With all this said, I urge you to go to your local Transgender Day of Remembrance event. Show your solidarity with your transgender family and friends. March, light a candle and be there for those we've lost while you remember those we have. If you cannot make it to an event for whatever reason, than just try to take a moment to remember privately.
Further, let us hope for an autumn in our future where we can remember when we had to remember, and when we can see that this brutality will no longer be tolerated.Gwen Smith hopes everyone stays safe out there. You can find her at http://www.gwensmith.com

Enforcement, Fines, Payments, and Appeals
Parking Enforcement
Campus parking lots are enforced by the University Police for the following reasons:
- To insure that illegally parked vehicles do not hinder vehicles (i.e., fire lanes, roadways, fire hydrants, etc.) that have to respond to an emergency on campus.
- To uphold the parking privileges given to valid permit holders.
- To enforce the parking rules and regulations.
The operation of a motor vehicle on campus property is covered under New York State Education Law, Section 360, which authorizes the State University to adopt and make applicable to its campuses any and all provisions of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
Regulations are strictly enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 12 months a year.
A comprehensive list of the parking policies of Buffalo State can be found by clicking Parking and Permits.
Parking fines not paid or appealed within 30 days of receipt of the summons are doubled. Students who have outstanding parking fines are barred from registering for class or receiving their transcript. Employees who have outstanding parking fines for more than 90 days will have the fines deducted from their paychecks. Vehicles parked on campus with outstanding parking fines are subject to either towing or the placement of an immobilization boot on the vehicle
In Person
Payments are accepted in-person at Student Accounts, Moot Hall. You must have either the original parking summons or a printout from Parking Services in order to make payment. Student Accounts accepts cash, check, money order, or credit card (Visa or MasterCard). Checks will only be accepted for amounts less than $100. Payments may also be made in-person at Parking Services, Chase Hall, by credit card (Visa or MasterCard).
Parking summonses also serve as a return payment mailer. These payments return to a bank lockbox and are processed with Parking Services 24-48 hours after payment is received.
By Mail
Check and money order payments may also be mailed to the Parking Services office.
Payments for parking summonses issued by University Police may be paid online by Visa or MasterCard. The license plate of the vehicle parked in violation or the summons number is necessary to process the transaction. Please allow up to one business day for the transaction to be processed and for any student delinquency hold to be removed. To insure that all outstanding summonses issued to your account have been paid, please contact Parking Services at (716) 878-3041.
Appeal requests must be directed to the Buffalo State Parking Services office within 30 days of summons issuance. Attempts to appeal summonses later than this date will not be processed.
You will receive notification of the hearing date and time via a letter mailed to the address that you stipulate on the parking summons. If you are a resident student and your appeal notification is sent over a holiday break, it will go to the registered address of the parking summons.
The decision of the hearing officer is final. Therefore, it is imperative that you are prepared for your defense. All documentation must be submitted to the hearing officer at the time of your appeal. It is solely your responsibility to provide any necessary documents.
You have 15 days from your hearing date to comply with the judgement of the hearing officer. If you are found guilty, additional penalties will be incurred after 15 days.

- Operation of the vehicle by another person.
- Failure of the University Police to ticket previously for similar offenses.
- Inability to pay fine.
- Disagreement with the parking rules and regulations.
- Failure to display current parking permit, vehicle registration, or inspection.
- Improper display of the parking permit.
- Expired meter offenses other than a defective meter (in which case, you must obtain written verification by University Police).
Violators of campus traffic and parking rules and regulations are subject to the issuance of a summons, returnable to Buffalo State. Fines must be received within 30 calendar days. Fines not paid in full within the prescribed period are assessed late fees.
Unpaid fines may be deducted from the wages of an offending college employee. Student transcripts and registration are placed with delinquent holds until all fines are paid. Vehicles with outstanding parking summonses are subject to immobilization or towing.
The college may authorize the towing of any vehicle that violates parking rules and regulations. Expenses incurred from vehicle immobilization, towing, or storage are the responsibility of the vehicle's registrant.
Any vehicle parked anywhere on campus with outstanding parking summonses is subject to towing at any time.
A vehicle parked in persistent violation of campus policies is subject to towing at any time.
Student Holds
Student transcripts and registration may be placed on hold if they carry an outstanding delinquent balance with Parking Services.
Parking accounts must be paid in full in order to clear the hold and allow the student to conduct school business.
The vehicle's registrant is responsible for any and all penalties and fines for violation(s), and for any and all liability or damage claims resulting from the possession, operation, or parking of the vehicle on the premises of Buffalo State. Individuals affiliated with Buffalo State through a parking permit are held accountable for violations.

Addis Ababa (AFP) Feb 18, 2014
Peace talks between Sudan and South Kordofan rebels adjourned Tuesday until the end of the month, after failing to progress on key issues since negotiations kicked off last week.
"We should adjourn this present session of the negotiations to give the possibility to the parties to have consultations with their principles," said Thabo Mbeki, chief mediator of the African Union-led talks.
The talks between Khartoum and rebels are aimed at ending three years of fighting in Blue Nile and Kordofan that has affected over one million people.
Mbeki said the teams would consult on "proposals" from the mediation team, but did not elaborate.
"We should then reconvene in about 10 days," he added, speaking in an upscale hotel in Addis Ababa where the talks kicked off on February 12.
The two sides failed to meet face-to-face in the latest round of talks -- the first in nearly a year -- and instead traded accusations, dampening the mood of the negotiations.
On Monday, the head of the rebel team told AFP the talks were at a "deadlock" and blamed Khartoum of wanting to continue the fighting.
But the government denied they were at loggerheads and instead vowed to press ahead with the peace process.
The government has insisted the talks should focus on security, political and humanitarian aspects as one package, while the rebels have said humanitarian issues should be addressed first.
The United Nations has called for an urgent ceasefire and has called on both side to allow for critical humanitarian access.
Talks are expected to resume on February 28.

ABC's Jonathan Karl last week asked Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) if his 2012 budget proposal is a "political kamikaze mission" that will "ultimately cost Republicans" their majority in the House.
After Christiane Amanpour played this clip and asked if Ryan is a "visionary or a villain" on Sunday's "This Week," George Will marvelously responded - likely to the dismay of all present! - "Paul Ryan is eight years younger than the President but vastly more experienced and conversant with these issues" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JONATHAN KARL, ABC: What do you say to nervous Republicans who say that this is a political kamikaze mission? You've just given Democrats a big target that may ultimately cost Republicans your majority here in the House?
REP. PAUL RYAN (R-WISCONSIN): Look at these people, look at these new people who just got here. You know, they didn't come here for a political career. They came here for a cause. This is not a budget, this is a cause.
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, HOST: Congressman Paul Ryan, certainly not one to fiddle around the edges of the financial crisis confronting this country. This week, he unveiled a sweeping budget proposal to cut $6 trillion from the budget over ten years. That is trillion with a "T". Ryan would also revamp, some would say dismantle, the cherished programs Medicare and Medicaid. Is he a visionary or is he a villain? Whatever your point of view, one thing is not in dispute: Ryan's plan will drive this epic debate.
So, let's bring back our roundtable, George Will, Chrystia Freeland, Ron Brownstein and Donna Brazile. George, you were just talking before we went to a break, how will this change the conversation? It will the Ryan plan.
GEORGE WILL: Paul Ryan is eight years younger than the President but vastly more experienced and conversant with these issues. The Republicans are now bound as with hoops of steel to this plan by Ryan. They really can't avoid it, and the President can't avoid engaging it. Now, the President's initial response was that the Democrats will say this is extreme. This extreme plan by Paul Ryan envisions over the next decade a 34 percent increase in federal spending. It envisions adding trillions of dollars to the national debt. That's how slow the glide plan is that he proposes. Furthermore, on Medicare, Medicare is doomed as we know it, not by Mr. Ryan, but by Mr. Arithmetic. It just doesn't work anymore. And therefore, when he preposes essentially what the bipartisan commission on Medicare proposed more than a decade ago, premium support, which is, no matter what Mr. Hollen [sic] said a moment ago, is essentially what every federal worker has from the man who delivers your mail to Harry Reid who delivers stuff.
Indeed, and what the media are going to do in the coming weeks is from the same playbook they used to prevent Social Security reform in 2005: distract, distort, and misinform.
These folks have been complaining for months that Republicans having just taken control of the House were making minor cuts to discretionary spending while avoiding going after the real meat in the entitlement programs. Some of the more honest ones even criticized the President for doing the same thing in his budget proposal.
Now that Ryan has come out with a plan that does go after Medicare and Medicaid, so-called journalists are going to forget all their previous squawking about there being no adults in the room willing to actually face up to the real budget problems facing the nation and instead demonize Ryan and Republicans for wanting to starve women, children, and the elderly.
It's getting old, isn't it?

CLASP Report Highlights the Challenge of Young Black Male Unemployment, Offers Policies, Practices to Address Deep-Seated Problem
Oct 23, 2013
By Kisha Bird
In the current labor market, many youth and young adults are struggling to find work. Far too many are either unemployed or working in low-wage jobs with minimal hours, unable to take care of themselves and their families. The long-term employment mobility and earnings of youth and young adults will be severely impacted without early work experience and adequate participation in the labor market during these critical years. Yesterday's jobs report from the U.S. Department of Labor underscores that the entire labor market is still struggling to recover. But the challenges for black men are particularly stark; the unemployment rate for black men ages 16 and older is 15 percent, more than twice the national average. The rate is even higher for black men ages 20 to 24 (25.8 percent) and teens (40.4 percent).
Advocates and researchers have highlighted the issue of unemployment among youth and young adults for over a decade—even before the Great Recession. Sadly, for some population groups, the struggle has far older roots. Unemployment among young black men is historically much higher than their white counterparts. Since 1972, the rate of employment for black males ages 20 to 24 has dropped by 23 percent, with just over half of black males in this age group currently attached to the labor market. For black male teens, work opportunities are nearly nonexistent. One in five black males ages 16 to 19 are employed—down from 31.4 percent in 1972.
In Feel the Heat: the Unrelenting Challenge of Young Black Male Unemployment, a new CLASP report authored by Linda Harris, we propose several strategies to help turn the tide for the thousands of young black men who are under- and unemployed. The report also analyzes employment trends and suggests two critical influences that are central contributors to black male unemployment: low education attainment and over-representation in the criminal justice system.

COLUMBUS -- It may not have ended how they wanted, but Western Reserve High School accomplished something rarely done in the Review-area this season.
The Blue Devils, who lost to seven-time state champion Newark Catholic 6-2 in the Division IV state semifinals at sun-splashed Huntington Park here Thursday, nontheless, joined one of the rarest lists in area sports history. The Blue Devils became only the third team in Review-area history to make it to the state baseball tournament.
They join the West Branch Warriors, Class AA state runner-up to St. Paris Graham all the way back in 1972, and the Marlington Dukes, state runner-up to Elyria West in 1992.
That's it. That's the extent of the list. That fact alone speaks volumes of just how tough it is to advance to state in baseball.
"We've had a heck of a (fun) time," said Western Reserve's senior shortstop-pitcher Tristan Bova of their run to state.
Western Reserve has enjoyed an outstanding year in athletics in general. The football team reached the state semifinals, the softball team advanced within a game of going to Columbus, the track team is sending five qualifiers to this weekend's state meet and the baseball team reached Ohio's Final 4.
I don't know of too many schools who wouldn't gush over having a resoundingly successful athletic year such as that.
The Blue Devils' baseball team finished a fine 20-6 season under head coach Ed Anthony, won district and regional titles and reached Columbus.
Bova said it was a season the Blue Devils will always cherish -- a season that took them to Ohio's Capital City.
"We've won districts but never got past the regional semis, we had been there but never got past it," added Bova. "But to get there and then win it, that set the tone, and then to win the regional was just the cherry on top. And then being here at state... win, lose or draw is just a great feeling."
The large group of Western Reserve fans gave the team a standing ovation as they walked off the field at game's end. It was their way of thanking them for providing a thrilling tournament ride this spring.
Bova certainly won't forget it.
"It's just been great," he added. "It's the most fun I've had in my whole life this season, and I know these guys coming up in the program are going to come back. We have a lot of youth coming up that's very talented and great things are ahead."

California Wilderness Permit Information (updated 2/19/10)
All overnight backpacking trips in the California wilderness areas require a backcountry permit. Currently day trips do not require a wilderness permit, except for the Mount Whitney Trail, Desolation Wilderness, and a select few other areas. In addition, a quota system is in place on many of the popular trails in California including, of course, the Mount Whitney Trail. Check with the respective National Forest or National Park for wilderness permit information and the specific wilderness permit processes as these change from time to time.
While the National Park Service and the Forest Service believe that the details of their respective permit systems will be in place for many years to come, they are also open to suggestions for improving the system and often make adjustments. Check with the Forest Service and National Park Service for current procedures.

Inyo National Forest and Mount Whitney Trail Wilderness Permits
Wilderness Permits, for trips exceeding a single day, are required year-round on all Inyo National Forest trails. During the busy season these trailheads are also subject to wilderness quotas that limit the number of new hikers on the trail each day. It is recommended that a wilderness permit reservation be made well in advance of your departure date for trips commencing during the quota season--May 1 to November 1 of each year. For trips occurring outside the quota period, a permit can be secured the day of the trip at the issuing ranger station.
Mount Whitney Trail
For the Mount Whitney Trail, wilderness permit quotas are in place from May 1 to November 1. A permit is required whether a single-day or a multi-day trip is planned.
Mount Whitney Trail permits are issued each year through a lottery process during February. All requests for a permit, whether for day use or multi-day use, postmarked in February, will be placed in the Whitney Trail Lottery. Permit requests will be randomly selected and processed one by one until permit space is no longer available for the entire quota season. If successful in securing a permit, a letter will be mailed to you informing you of this and the process for picking up your permit before your entry date. If unsuccessful, your application and fee will be returned. To help defray the cost of the permit system and enhance services to the public a small fee is charged for each hiker, and must accompany the reservation application.
It is expected that all dates will be completely booked through the Whitney Lottery process. However, any dates with space available will be released in April and can be reserved by phone-- 760-873-2483.
Mount Whitney's Mountaineers Route
The Mountaineers cross-country route initially starts up the Mount Whitney Trail but quickly leaves the trail to ascend the North Fork of Lone Pine Creek via an unmaintained climber's route. A day use permit for this cross-country route is secured through the Mount Whitney Lottery as described above. However, a permit for a multi-day excursion is secured through the telephone reservation system also noted above. To secure advanced reservation, make your request up to 6-months in advance of your entry date.
All Other Trails Originating in the Inyo National Forest
Wilderness Permits can be made up to 6-months in advance of your entry date by calling the number noted above. A small fee will be charged for each reservation.
Trails Originating in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, Yosemite National Park, and Lassen Volcanic National Park
For those trails originating in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, Yosemite National Park, and Lassen Volcanic National Park, a wilderness permit is required from the respective park. Each park's wilderness permit requirements are a little differently but advanced reservations are recommended for all trips May 21 through September 21. Check with the respective National Park for their quota season and to learn about their advanced reservation system.

David duChemin first travelled to British Columbia's Khutzeymateen in 2013, and he's returned twice—to a place that takes some dedication to get to—since. We talked to him about his first impressions of the grizzly sanctuary that has captured his heart and his creative eye.
You've travelled the world and been on other water-based journeys, such as Antarctica; did you find your creative path differed on this trip?
There are always similarities and differences. In the broadest strokes, I think my process is always the same in terms of needing time to get over my expectations and to really see the place, then figure out how my camera sees it. But it's different on a small scale because every place is different, and requires a different approach. In this case, my interaction with the bears, and the need to place safety and care for the bears ahead of creative considerations, gave me a new constraint to work around. There was also a lot more rain, so working with rain covers and the constant need to keep the front elements of lenses clean meant the cameras got in the way of my process a little more.
There's such intimacy and emotion in these photographs: is that intentional? Did you expect to feel emotional about seeing the bears in this environment?
It's very intentional. I want my photographs to do more than say, "This is how it looked." I want them to convey an emotion, as in, "This is how it felt." But more than that, I think first you, as the photographer, have to feel something, and I was really touched by this place. It moved me profoundly, in part because there was such a fight to save the place, and in part because my encounter with these bears was so contrary to what I expected. I expected large, mean, scary animals (and to be fair, they deserve respect in the extreme), but they can also be beautiful and gentle, curious and welcoming. Sitting only meters away from a mother and her cubs for a couple days and feeling completely welcome was something I never imagined.
How do you go from the discovery of a place to the final frame? Is that an easy or difficult process for you? Do you consider yourself more intuitive or intentional when making photographs?
It's both a natural process for me, and a challenging one. I'm not sure how to explain it. The difficulty lies in figuring out what a place is to me, and getting over whatever technical issues I'm having in expressing that. But once I do that—which can take some wrestling at times—there's a creative flow that comes. I'm intentional in my expression and intuitive in terms of how I do that. Thirty years after first picking up a camera, some of this has become more subconscious than conscious, but it's taken all of those 30 years to get to this point.
And after all those years, do you still hear the self-critical voices? How do you reign them in?
I do. I think we all do, if we're honest and approach our art without arrogance. We always wonder if it's as good as we hope, if it will connect with others the way it connects with us, and on and on. First, I think I give the voices their chance, because they might be right. I might be able to do better. But even if I do, those voices will still be there. So then I focus on the experience and the joy I get from the work, knowing if nothing else, that I've done something extraordinary, and made something I've loved. After that, I allow the voices of others—real humans whom I trust and respect—and theirs are the voices I listen to.

Hi - is there an "official" way to re-dispatch the request from a servlet to serve static files that the web server have access to? As a example - say that I want to have the servlet to manage all of the dispatch from root path. And I want /images/ to point to a file path that web-server already knows how to handle. I could of course write my own custom function to test to see if the path exists, and if so, open up the file and serve it out, but I am wondering if there is a way for the servlet to pass the request back to the web-server to serve the static files. Since the path is managed by the servlet, then the servlet is responsible to translate into something that the server will find.

Watch the video for On Your Own below and give a listen to Fryars earlier single In My Arms as well.

On Wednesday, two young female suicide bombers detonated in a crowded market in Kano State.
"Oh, she does well,—even remarkably well for a woman," admitted Kano.
Arrived at Kano, he took up his quarters in his former residence.
He came whenever Mata summoned him to meals, and ate them with old Kano, observing all outer semblances of respect.
He was, however, attended by a horseman to see him to the frontier of the Kano territory.
The Zeg-zeg troops had one French fusil, and the Kano force forty-one muskets.
The last of his race was Kano Indara; the last of a mighty line of artists.
The Kano men, as soon as they fired their pieces, ran out of bowshot to reload.
For a full hour, now, Kano had delighted in the morning-glories.
Behind the Kano cottage the rise of ground for twenty yards was of a grade scarcely perceptible to the eye.

TRAFFORD Synchronised Swimming Club returned from the ASA National Age Groups recently with a record nine medals.
The weekend started off well with a silver medal in the 19 and under age group. This team, swimming to a combination of Lady Gaga music, included four swimmers that were competing nationally for the first time.
In the 18/19 rec duet section Trafford swimmers Eliza Rice and Amy Codling produced a well drilled routine to collect the silver medal.
In the under 10 figure competition Millie Costello, who has only been swimming for nine months, won the silver medal while in a closely contested 13/14 age group Lucy Bowes was able to demonstrate her superior flexibility and height to finish in first place.
In the competitive routine section of the championships Lucy Bowes again showed her potential by finishing first in the 13/14 solo age group before teaming up with Isabelle Spencer for their Sherlock Holmes duet where a well synchronised and difficult routine again placed them in first place.
Later that day, Emma Bowes coupled with Jessica Southward swam a beautifully choreographed 18/19 duet to finish in third place.
On the final day of competition, and facing stiff opposition from bigger southern clubs, the Trafford swimmers showed great team spirit and excellent skill to finish second in the 12 and Under team and third in the 13/14 team.
Following their success in the National Age Groups four swimmers were selected to represent England in 2013.
Millie Costello (Under 10yrs), Jessica Spencer (Under 12 yrs), Lucy Bowes and Isabelle Spencer (13/14 years).
Lucy has ensured that the year has begun with even more success for the club by being selected to represent senior Great Britain in 2013. At 14 years Lucy is the youngest swimmer ever to be selected onto the senior squad. Anyone interested in synchronised swimming should contact Jo Bean (Head Coach) firstname.lastname@example.com
