Let's face it, some women desire to have financial stability when it comes to their partners. While absolutely not a necessary trait to possess, other females view it as a major plus. The reason being is that they want a man who can provide and take care of her needs. Of course, who doesn't want a life full of stability and ease? Most women do.
And one story that caught the attention of many is when this Chinese girl decided to go her separate ways with her boyfriend and broke up because of the guy's financial status. She found out that her partner could not sustain her necessities, and decided to leave the guy because his family was poor.
She found out by going to her boyfriend's hometown to join him in a reunion dinner with his family. Little did she know that her boyfriend could only offer that much, she immediately walked away after seeing the food that was served and prepared on the table.
Obviously, her boyfriend's family was poor, and that alone was enough for her to leave and dump her boyfriend. Reflected in the reunion dinner, the Chinese girl shared her experience through Facebook with no regard of embarrassing her boyfriend and his family. They have dated for more than a year, and after discovering that her boyfriend was poor, she was convinced that he cannot fully support her at all.
What was more surprising was the fact that the girl's friends and family echoed her thoughts and sentiments, saying that it was the right decision to leave her boyfriend because she will have no future with him.
The Chinese girl said,
I came to my senses almost instantly and decided I'd save the crying and heartache later by breaking off with him now! But I'm afraid to leave because it's dark outside and it's tough getting transport so I'll buy a train ticket back to Shanghai first thing in the morning!
Her friend even said
Be cruel to yourself now, otherwise you will suffer later. No matter how much you love each other, it'll wear out over time!
Her post went viral on social media, and since then she has received much criticism and hate in the eyes of many who claimed her to be a gold-digger and a materialistic person.
Money can't buy true, genuine love. When your partner judges you because of your financial status, its best to re-evaluate the whole relationship and ponder whether you are staying for the right reasons or not.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are one of the most successful machine learning software technologies in recent years. For example, researchers use convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in pedestrian detection systems deployed in cars to avoid collisions. DNN technology is most useful when it can be deployed in mobile, wearable and robotic systems. However, DNNs require very large numbers of matrix operations which is not a good match for battery-powered systems where the key performance metric is energy. Both the large number of arithmetic operations performed, and the large quantity of data moved between the processor and memory during computation consume large amounts of energy.
This project aims to make modern machine-learning such as deep neural networks feasible on low-power embedded systems. Our approach includes efficient software support for low-precision arithmetic, program generators for key machine-learning codes, compiler optimization techniques that are beneficial for these codes, exploiting underlying mathematical identities to reduce computation, and custom hardware acceleration.
The ideal candidate should have a good bachelors or masters degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related field. They will be interested in one or more of software optimization, parallel programming, GPU programming, compilers, computer architecture, and machine learning. They will have strong programming skills, and preferably have experience of programming in C or C++.
We need someone who is positive, enthusiastic and can work with other people in the group. Good written English is important. Existing experience of writing technical or scientific papers would nice, but is not essential. The candidate should be excited about the prospect of research, completing a PhD, and publishing novel research results that impact on the field.
The PhD studentship is a full-time position and the successful candidate will develop their research in a shared lab/office with other researchers. Our research group maintains close links with industrial research labs and there may be opportunities to spend time at one of these labs during the PhD.
Trinity College Dublin is Ireland's oldest research university (founded 1592), and one of only twenty-three members of the prestigious League of European Research Universities (LERU). The university has a 47-acre (20 hectare) campus right in the centre of Dublin. Trinity offers a broad range of societies, sports clubs and other activities for staff and students.
The expected starting date for the PhD is September 2017, but there may be some flexibility to start earlier or later.
To apply for the studentships, please send a CV to Prof. David Gregg at Trinity College Dublin.

My old favorite (pre-vegetarian days) recipe for split pea soup was this one from Gourmet. Obviously, since it calls for ham hocks, it wouldn't work for me nowadays, so when I had a craving for split pea soup the other day, I had to improvise a little. I wanted to get a similar smoky flavor to what you get by using ham hocks, so I used smoked paprika instead.* That, along with the herbs and veggie broth, made it a richly flavorful soup.
* The smoky flavor of bacon and other pork products is one of the few things I miss about eating meat, hence my intense love of smoked paprika!
The pumpernickel croutons, which are probably the best part of that old favorite recipe, made it complete. They pair perfectly with the soup, giving it just the right crunchiness, bite, and saltiness.
Split Pea Soup with Pumpernickel Croutons
Based on a blend of this recipe from Gourmet, January 2004, and one from Soup Yourself: 50 Simple Yet Sublime Soup Recipes from the Eastside Cafe
3 Tbs olive oil, divided
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 small carrots, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 cups split peas, rinsed well
8 cups vegetable stock or water**
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp fresh (or 1/4 tsp dried) oregano, minced
1/4 tsp marjoram
1 tsp minced parsley
1/2 tsp fresh (or 1/4 tsp dried) thyme leaves
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp kosher salt, divided
several slices of pumpernickel rye, cubed
Heat 2 Tbs of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, and add the onions, carrots, and garlic. Cook until well softened, about 15 minutes. Add the split peas, stock or water, spices, and 1 tsp of the salt. Bring to a boil and turn the heat down to low. Simmer, partially covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until split peas are tender.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°. Toss the pumpernickel with the remaining 1 Tbs olive oil and 1 tsp salt. Spread in one layer in a shallow baking pan or cookie sheet and bake until crisp, about 10 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack.
Sprinkle a few croutons on top of each serving of soup, and enjoy!
** I had less veggie stock than I thought, so I used 5 cups of stock and 3 cups of water, which worked fine.

IRVINE – A 44-year-old Irvine woman was sentenced Friday to three years and four months in prison and mandatory lifetime sex-offender registration for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy at her home.
Nicole Ethel McMillen was convicted in October 2013 of four felony counts of lewd acts upon a child and three other felony counts involving minor younger than 16.
Between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28, 2012, McMillen had sexual contact with a 14-year-old boy who was at her house, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
McMillen maintained a "fun" home where many children spent time with her children watching movies or playing video games, prosecutors said.
The boy told his mother about the sexual contact, and his family reported the incidents to the Irvine Police Department.
A subsequent police investigation determined McMillen also had an ongoing sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy for more than a year, said prosecutors.
During the time of the sexual encounters with the boys, McMillen worked part-time with kindergarten-age children at Peters Canyon Elementary School in Tustin and also with the Tustin Unified School District as a behavioral interventionist, according to prosecutors.

Scientist Captures The "The Ice Finger Of Death" As It Comes Down To Freeze Everything
When I read that natives call this bizarre display of nature the 'Ice Finger of Death', I was curious. But as I kept watching – it gave me CHILLS. This can't be real!
Strange rumors have circled throughout the foothills of volcano Mount Erebus about this 'Ice Finger of Death.'
But when videographers Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson set up their gear, they weren't prepared to see what their cameras captured. I'm at a loss for words!
Seconds into the video, an eerie, almost ghost-like funnel appears.
The mystical form begins to dive downwards, towards the ground.
Then, perhaps in the most devastating part of it all, the creepy form begins to spread across the ground — killing everything in its' path.
I watched in shock as everything in its' way was fully enclosed in ice and killed instantaneously. It was utter destruction in a matter of seconds!
You just have to see this to believe it, watch the shocking footage of this newly discovered 'Ice Finger of Death':
This is a brinicle forming. It freezes everything it touches.This is a brinicle forming, a.k.a ice finger of death. It freezes everything it touches.A brinicle is a frozen column of ice inside water. Learn more about the brinicles and the filming of this extraordinary event: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/15835017
Posted by Oxford University Scientific Society on Thursday, November 19, 2015
I don't know about you, but I've never seen anything so creepy in my life! Have you? What do you think causes this mystical 'Ice Finger of Death?'

NEW YORK (AP) â?? Maikel Franco homered and doubled while breaking the longest hitless streak of his big league career, and the Philadelphia Phillies capitalized on an error by untested first baseman Jay Bruce to beat the short-handed New York Mets 6-4 Thursday night.
Mets closer Jeurys Familia struck out two and walked two in a hitless ninth inning of his season debut after serving a 15-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy. The home crowd cheered as he jogged in from the bullpen â?? Familia led the majors with a team-record 51 saves last year.
Philadelphia took two of three at Citi Field after losing six straight series to the Mets. New York made seven errors in the set.
Aaron Nola (2-0) labored through five innings, and Hector Neris earned his first save this season. Noah Syndergaard (1-1) struck out 10 in seven innings.

Please list; mine is that I went out with an ex boyfriend again and gave him a chance.
Most Helpful Guy
I don't think it's the "dumbest" thing I've done, cause trust me me there are lots. But this one is something I used to do as a child. When I was younger my grandmother was very laid back. She never really instructed me to do anything, so I pretty much did what I want. So I had no preference for clothes when I was at grannies. I used to go everywhere outside, in just my underwear. I did this until I was about 6 or 7 I think. I didn't stop until a neighbor jokingly said cops were starting to round up kids who didn't wear pants.
The dumbest thing I've ever done as an adult is walk in a dark street towards my truck. I parked too far and I think on purpose. Well some stupid neighbor let her bulldog dogs outside loose. So there I was 10 yards away from my truck with the dogs starting to chase me. I swear it was a race at the moment, but there I was dashing for my truck. I didn't think I would make it inside the truck in time so I jumped for the bed of the truck. Well stupid me, I ended up jumping too short and ended up banging my knee straight into the side. Somehow I still made it in the truck. I felt so stupid cause when I looked up I noticed they were gone. I got down, my knee in pain and noticed a huge dent on my trucks side. I shrugged it off and went home. The next day my grandfather asked what happened last night as one of the neighbors saw me leaping into my truck and hitting it with my knee like an idiot. Sigh...11|00|0

Sensex, the lead Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) index, fell 3.49%, or 453.36 points, to close at 12529.62 points on Wednesday as investors rushed to sell stocks, taking a cue from the near-2% crash in the Dow Industrial, the leading New York Stock Exchange Index. The broad-based 50-stock NSE Nifty lost 129.45 points, or 3.43%, to close at 3641.10.
Tuesday's crash in the Dow was the second-largest one-day fall of the US index in almost four years. The largest fall in four years was the 27 February fall of 3.29% and both have been driven by the same factor—fear about a slowdown in the US economy. The immediate trigger was the release of data revealing an increase in US home-loan defaults, indicating an economic slowdown.
Most Asian markets, too, recorded losses on Tuesday with Japan's Nikkei losing 2.92%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng, 2.57%, Singapore Straits Times Index, 3.5%, Seoul Composite Index, 2%, Shanghai Composite Index, 1.97%, and Taiwan Weighted Index, 1.48%. Wednesday's fall has shaved off more than Rs98,426 crore worth of investors' wealth, bringing down BSE's market capitalization to Rs34.04 lakh crore.
With this fall, the Sensex has lost close to Rs4.85 lakh crore worth of market capitalization since 8 February, when the benchmark index closed at a historic high of 14,652.09.
Since 26 February, a day before the global stock-price correction started, triggered by the Chinese market crash, fears about the slowing US economy and yen carry trade, the Sensex has fallen 8.20%.
Other global markets, too, have fallen by a similar margin, signalling the growing global linkages. For instance, Nikkei fell by 8.45% and Hang Seng, by 8.15%. Among other markets, the Brazilian Bovesa lost 7.48% in the last fortnight, London's FTSE 100, 6% and Dow Jones, 4.40%. In May 2006, when the Sensex had lost more than 30%, it had a sharper correction than some of the other global markets.
"Earlier, India was a defensive player. This means that when the world markets fell, Indian stocks made relative gains. This is no more the case in the last few years. The Indian market crashes of October 2005 and May 2006 and the current one are nothing but global risk events," says Ratnesh Kumar, India strategist for Citigroup Investment Research, indicating the growing linkage between foreign fund flow and the risk appetite of foreign investors. There is fear in the market that the slowing global economy will lead to withdrawal of funds by foreign funds.
"The market has been very volatile and driven by global liquidity and global concerns," says R. Sreesankar, head of research, IL&FS Investsmart.
According to him, global liquidity concerns will be driving the market in the near future. "Global liquidity was one of the factors that drove the market for the better part of last year, despite the good performance put up by the Indian economy and local corporations. It is only natural that when there is a fear of outflow of global liquidity, the market should respond accordingly," adds Sreesankar.
Foreign funds have been net sellers this month, with the difference between their buys and sales rising to $434.3 million (Rs1,925.3 crore) till 13 March. They, however, continue to remain net buyers in calendar year 2007 to the tune of $1.3 billion.
Foreign funds, accounting for 10% of the total trade turnover and a much higher percentage for cash-based buying, pumped in Rs36,540 crore in 2006, Rs 47,181 crore in 2005 and Rs38,965 crore in 2004. With foreign funds selling in the stock market, the currency market saw some volatility,, with the rupee closing lower at 44.25 against the greenback, down from 44.20, its previous close.
All BSE sector indices ended the day in the red. Banking, infotech and capital goods were the worst hit with ICICI Bank, Wipro, Satyam, Infosys, Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communication, ABB, Siemens and SAIL losing heavily.

Where We Live
A Corner Bordered by Roosters and Rush Hours
Saturday, December 27, 2008
Accokeek, in southern Prince George's County, has a dual personality not readily visible from Route 210, a four-lane highway that bisects the community.
Once the domain of the Pomonkey and Piscataway Native American tribes, Accokeek today is an amalgamation of historic sites, run-down shacks, tidy ramblers, grand estates, working farms, small businesses and sprawling nature preserves.
For some residents, a rooster's crow is the preferred wake-up call. It's not unusual to see goats, horses, chickens or guinea hens roaming a property. In this setting, you'll often hear residents describe Accokeek as a cozy, laid back, semi-rural, unincorporated community that's not understood -- and sometimes looked down on -- by what they see as a developer-friendly county council.
Others have been drawn to new suburban developments with small lots and rural-sounding names such as Manning Preserve, Horizon Estates and Simmons Acres, but often bemoan the lack of major urban-style amenities within the community. There's no central shopping destination, and schools, police and water services seem overwhelmed.
Bridget Creek, a Washington native who is part American Indian, moved to Accokeek 11 years ago because, it was "small -- not a lot of hustle and bustle."
There were around 2,400 houses and apartments in 2000, but that number has more than doubled to around 5,000, said Judy Allen-Leventhal, a 20-year resident and past president of the Greater Accokeek Civic Association. There are now eight homeowners associations under that association's umbrella.
Her husband, Mike, said jokingly that he now commutes to Arlington via Route 210, with "15,463 of my closest friends." And yet, when it's not rush hour, "We can still be at the Smithsonian in 30 minutes."
In 2000, much of Accokeek, straddling both sides of Route 210, was designated as part of the county's rural tier, where zoning favors slow growth, agricultural land and large lot sizes. At the same time, a wide swath along the highway received "developing tier" status, allowing for high-density building.
Updating of the master plan for the southern part of the county is in progress and will guide development of Accokeek over the next 10 years. Debate centers on how to meld these different designations into one cohesive community.
The fact that folks willingly choose to live along unpaved roads in the woods is a foreign concept to many, said lifelong Accokeek resident Kelly Canavan, who chairs the AMP Creeks Council -- it stands for Accokeek, Mattawoman and Piscataway creeks -- a group formed to channel the county's focus away from what members describe as "unreasoned development" in the developing tier.
"We're not here by circumstance -- we're here by design," said Mike Leventhal. "We know how to travel to shops someplace else -- we chose not to have that in our back yard. Development should be amenable to what is already here, not in some new-urban format."
"We live in a region, not a subdivision," Canavan said. She points to nearby Waldorf's sprawl as a negative example of "what people will trade for convenience."

Oh Sorry! Who is it supposed to be then?
U look good as Storm!
It's nice to see people actually participate. I put some accessories on for Halloween for bowling. Not ONE person had even an orange shirt on
It's awesome that you did something for Children In Need. Now where are your Pudseys!?
There's actually two blondes in there.
True... but most who know me, know I'll be the Marvel character not the lady (Cathy) wearing a Gorilla hand
is that the stig on the right!?!?

Download WalkUnlock apk 0.3.0 free for Android smartphone
Posted by CrazyAppDev in Tools | June 19, 2013 | 4 Comments
Apk file size: 281.0 KB
A lot of people want to use a password to protect their phone, but it is cumbersome to type in your password every time you want to use your phone. Wouldn't it be nice if your phone automatically knows when YOU are carrying it, depending on your biometric data?
It is well known, that every person has a unique gait pattern, just like a fingerprint, which can be used for authentication purposes.
WalkUnlock locks and unlocks your mobile phone depending on your gait pattern.
You first have to train WalkUnlock so it knows what your gait pattern looks like. After that WalkUnlock is able to lock and unlock your phone depending on your steps while you're walking. (It doesn't matter how fast you walk.)
If you walk for example to the bus station or to your office, WalkUnlock will automatically recognize you and unlock your phone,
when you use it the next time. If a stranger picks up your phone, WalkUnlock will reject his gait pattern and keeps the phone locked.
Don't worry about getting locked out of your phone completely! If the app doesn't recognize you, you can always type in your password. But when the app recognizes your gait, which is unique to you, you don't have to type in your password and have direct access to your phone.
Please remember that Walk Unlock is still in a beta phase. The application will be updated regularly.
For bug reports and feedback, please contact: [email protected]
In order to uninstall Walk Unlock, you must first de-activate Walk Unlock in your phone settings under Security => Device Administration.
The application only works on phones with a gyroscope. The application has been tested with a Google Nexus S running Jelly Bean.
Whats new
- Added Wifi-Unlock functionality. You can now save your frequently used Wi-Fi networks and WalkUnlock automatically unlocks your phone when your connected to these Wi-Fi networks. This also drastically improves power consumption of WalkUnlock.
- Bugfixes

More Time to Heal
Parents find strength after a tragedy as their policy eases financial burdens, allowing them to put family first.
There is surely no pain worse than the loss of a child. And the grieving process allows no shortcuts; it is something that must simply be endured. Sadly, Mark and Robin Hunter know this all too well.
Maddie was the second of their four daughters, and she had "a zest for life, a beautiful spirit and the ability to love endlessly," says Robin. "Although we believed it was important to have insurance policies on our children's lives as well as our own, we never imagined we would make a claim. For us, it was one of the ways we could help secure the girls' financial futures."
When Maddie died unexpectedly before the age of 2 in 2005, the policy eased the stress on their family and marriage, says Mark. "There was a night when we literally said to each other, 'This is a defining moment in our lives. It will tear us apart or it will make us stronger.' Because we had the time to work through it, this tragedy did not break us."

Nokia is planning to tease 'something 'extraordinary this coming Wednesday. In a straight forward manner, Nokia issued a message on Nokia Conversations "On Wednesday morning at 7am GMT we will be announcing something new, followed by a Q&A session with Neil Broadley from our Mobile Phones team and a special guest."
Wild guesses are swirling all around the tech gossip world. Some say, that the Finnish giant could announce the long rumored Lumia 928, a Verizon restricted variant of Nokia Lumia 920, at an upcoming event.
But at the same time, the tech mobile vendor has also thrown hints in the form of mysterious image. Going by the image, the design definitely not looks similar to the Nokia Lumia 920. But, it's too early to comment upon the device. Still whats the harm in playing the guess game?

Well, rumors also indicate that big changes are, Nokia might announce the updated colorful Asha lineup. Twitter sensation @evleaks leaked few images of the upcoming Asha handset earlier this month. It is said that the upcoming Nokia Asha handsets will be identical to Lumia range.
Expect complete revamp in terms of design, and freshly baked User Interface (UI), to be incorporated in the upcoming Nokia Asha handsets. Nokia Lumia handsets were lauded for bright and peppy colours. Also lately Nokia CEO, Stephen Elop hinted at refreshing the Asha line of phones in recent interviews.
Supporting the rumors, if observed, Nokia announced its last quarter results, where the sales of Lumia range were up from last quarter. But the company saw biggest fall to 5 million units from 9.3 million in regards to Asha range. So, there is scope for complete makeover.
The new Nokia Asha handsets are set to arrive with a 5-mega pixel rear camera, bigger display, changeable back covers, a home button underneath the screen and bold flashy colours. If the leak turns out to be authentic, the new Asha phones will come in three colors - green, red and yellow.
What About Nokia Lumia 928?
If Lumia 920 sees the light, the upcoming Nokia handset is expected to land with 4.5 inch OLED display with resolution of 768 x 1280 pixels, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, 8.7 MP rear camera (PureView , and a non-removable 2,000 mAh battery. In terms of design, it will be similar to what experience with the Lumia 920.
Further, the upcoming Nokia Lumia 928 arrives with 4G LTE built into it. In terms of design, expect polycarbonate shell to be used to make the cost under control.
But, if Nokia announces the updated Asha range on Wednesday then there is a fair chance to get closer in the coming days. Nokia has been kind on Indian audiences in terms of mid range and budget handsets, as the country is utmost prime for the Finnish giant.


text: BATTLE CREEK, Mich., May 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kellogg Company (NYSE:K) today announced solid results that were in-line with the company's expectations. First quarter 2013 reported net sales increased by 12.2 percent to $3.9 billion. Internal net sales*, which exclude the effects of foreign currency translation, acquisitions, dispositions, and integration costs, rose by 2.2 percent over the same period. First quarter 2013 operating profit was $503 million, a reported decrease of 4.5 percent; underlying internal operating profit*, which excludes the effects of foreign currency translation, acquisitions, dispositions, mark-to-market accounting, and integration costs, decreased by 5.8 percent. As expected, the decline in underlying internal operating profit* was largely due to the recognition of considerable cost-of-goods-sold inflation in the quarter. Results in the first quarter included a majority of the inflation, net of cost savings, that the company expects to recognize for the full year. Reported earnings for the first quarter 2013 were $311 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, a decline of 13 percent from the $0.98 per diluted share reported in the first quarter of last year. Comparable first quarter 2013 earnings*, which exclude the impact of mark-to-market accounting and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Pringles, were $0.99 per share, in-line with the company's expectations. This result included a negative impact of $0.03 per share from the Venezuelan devaluation. "Results in the first quarter were broadly as we expected, and we're pleased to have a solid start to the year," said John Bryant, Kellogg Company's president and chief executive officer. "We saw good comparable revenue growth in many regions around the world and the Pringles business continued to post strong results. As a result, we're also pleased to report that we're on-track to meet our guidance for the full-year." * Internal sales growth, underlying internal operating profit growth, underlying internal operating profit, and comparable earnings are all non-GAAP financial measures. See the tables herein for important information regarding these measures and a full reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Front Desk Hosting
We are looking for volunteers to help host the front desk of our gallery. The front desk volunteer's main job is to meet and greet patrons who come in to look at our gallery spaces. Staff is always around in the office to assist the front desk host in any way they need, and all volunteers will receive a full training.
Days and times that are needed are: Tuesdays 1pm-4pm; Wednesdays 1pm-4pm; or filling in when there are openings other days.
Even taking just one of these shifts a month helps us out enormously!
Committee Members
It takes a lot of passionate people to run a place like the Ames Historical Society, and our small three person staff cannot do it all alone. We rely heavily on our volunteer committees to help us out. We are looking for community members who are interested in getting involved in some of our committees. We have many different committees including: Membership Committee (helping to increase and retain membership), Collections Committee (assisting with our physical collections), Hoggatt Committee (help us plan programs and events for our one room schoolhouse), Finance Committee (help us plan the budget), Development Committee (help us plan fundraising events and ideas to support the museum in the long term), Programs & Events Committee (an ad hoc committee that helps plan the year's programs and events).
Artifact Inventory
We are looking for volunteers to help us with a large inventory of all of our historic artifact collections. Volunteers will assist the Collections Manager in inventory, photo taking, organizing, and light paperwork. Volunteers will be fully trained on proper museum handling and procedures.
This is a fun and interesting opportunity for all ages, but would be great for individuals or students interested in museum work. Volunteers can work on this project anytime from 9am-5pm Tuesdays thru Saturdays.
We are looking for volunteers to help us with a very large and ongoing historical photo digitization project. No prior experience is necessary; we will train volunteers on all aspects of the project.
Historical Research
We are currently working on a large Main Street Legacy project which includes researching all the businesses that have been located on Main Street from 1864 to 2015. We are looking for volunteers to assist with this research by searching through old newspapers online and helping us find listings for Ames businesses.

Premature babies likelier to face learning, development woes
London: The longer a baby stays in the womb, the better it is for its long-term development, new research suggests.
Even for infants born after 37 weeks, a little more time in the womb may work as an advantage, according to scientists.
The extra time results in more brain development, and the study suggests perhaps better scores on academic tests, too.
Full-term is generally between 37 weeks and 41 weeks; newborns born before 37 weeks are called premature and are known to face increased chances for health and developmental problems.
The children in the study were all full-term, and the vast majority did fine on third-grade math and reading tests.
The differences were small, but the study found that more kids born at 37 or 38 weeks did poorly than did kids born even a week or two later.
The researchers and other experts said the results suggest that the definition of prematurity should be reconsidered.
The findings also raise questions about hastening childbirth by scheduling cesarean deliveries for convenience - because women are tired of being pregnant or doctors are busy - rather than for medical reasons, the researchers say.
"Women should at least proceed with caution before electing to have an earlier term birth," said lead author Dr Kimberly Noble, an assistant pediatrics professor at Columbia University Medical Center.
The study involved 128,000 New York City public school children and included a sizable number of kids from disadvantaged families.
But the authors said similar results would likely be found in other children, too.
Of the children born at 37 weeks, 2.3 percent had severely poor reading skills and 1.1 per cent had at least moderate problems in math.
That compares to 1.8 per cent and 0.9 per cent for the children born at 41 weeks.
Children born at 38 weeks faced only slightly lower risks than those born at 37 weeks.
Compared with 41-weekers, children born at 37 weeks faced a 33 per cent increased chance of having severe reading difficulty in third grade, and a 19 per cent greater chance of having moderate problems in math.
The study was recently published online in Pediatrics.

Need IWB holster for summer
My CCW is a fullsize 1911A1, in the cold months like now my Carhartt coats covers it well but ive been thinking about what to do when spring and summer arrives. Ive been looking at the crossbreed supertuck holsters and have heard good things about them. I trust alot of you guys opinions, so what do you think? Less printing and as less bulging as possible is what im looking for.
The supertuck is nice. I can carry a full size Glock at 4 o'clock with minimal printing. Look on eBay there are People that make these bolsters for cheaper
I've heard nothing, but excellent reviews/comments about the Crossbreed Supertuck. I do not carry IWB, but if I did the Supertuck is definately what I would carry my 1911 in that's for sure.
This is the same thing that happened to me when I moved to Florida after living up North. I found that Milt Sparks has the best solutions for iwb carry in warm climates (or anywhere else). Check out the "summer special" model and a few others. They really fit the gun well, they don't mysteriously drop the safety as some others do and blend in well so you look like everyone else carrying a cell phone at worst. Holsters are a personal thing - I have a huge box of them that I've acquired over the years but Sparks has been the best for me. You're mileage may vary.
Sorry, just re-read your post and missed the "full size". These days I carry a 3 inch Kimber UC2 iwb. Full size for open carry.
Try these guys: http://www.highnoonholsters.com/index.html
I have 2 of theirs. One owb belt holster and one iwb clip style. The owb has their "Slide guard" feature that puts a flap of leather between you and the slide, hammer, beavertail area. makes a HUGE difference in comfort. I just wish I had gotten both like that. They have a pretty informative site.
Big handgun for summer carry. How about an alternate DA/SA?
Crossbreed is good to go. Tucker gun leather's 'The Answer' would be a good choice too. Garrett makes 'The Silent Thunder' also. Just get a good belt and you are ready to go. Good luck.
There's still the romance of the old 1911 style even updated for carry but SA is not the best carry style pistol. Defensive gun encounters are over in seconds. One nanosecond short could be a lifetime.
Check out the new Safariland 575 GLS IWB holster. Its great. Has retention and also fits around 200 different sidearms with one holster. I have both the IWB model 575 and the OWB model 578 and have not had a single problem from either and I'm extremely hard on gear! Theyre priced well and can be adjusted for any body type also. If you have any questions about them feel free to contact me and I will try to answer them for you.
Just for disclaimer:
I am in no way affiliated with Safariland. I am but merely a very satisfied customer.

According to Don Banks of SI.com, in order for Oregon head coach Chip Kelly to make the jump to the NFL he wants "near complete control" of an NFL team.
If there's a big-name coaching candidate to keep in mind in Carolina, Oregon's Chip Kelly is a possibility. The thought of Kelly matching his up-tempo offense to franchise quarterback Cam Newton's game is an intriguing notion. But Kelly is said to be only interested in an NFL job that comes with near-total personnel control, so he would seem a possibility only if the Panthers stay in-house with their GM opening and elevate Beane.
I'm not sure an NFL team is going to be willing to give a college football coach that much control over an NFL team.

About us
Poolside Stories is an exploration of radio features that have been made with you, the audience. The series showcases five key radio programs from Radio National's extensive back catalogue of 'crowdsourced' documentaries from Street Stories, 360documentaries and The Night Air. The terrain we'll be covering includes tales about where you live, what happens at night, birds disappearing from the landscape, how to start a new life and a special edition called 'Back in the Pool', which features some of Australia's future radio makers. All of the stories were plucked from the ABC Pool website, which was an online platform for sharing creative content from across Australia.
We're currently in the era of 'broadcast yourself', where you can share your work online and tell your stories with keyboard taps and keypad swipes. Blogging is almost old hat, because now you can tweet, take high-quality photos and videos with devices that fit in your back pocket and upload instantly if you're connected to the internet. What does this mean for radio, which for most of the twentieth century was one of the main ways for people to share their stories to a big audience? The advent of the internet signalled a new era with exciting opportunities for radio producers to hear from people, and innovative ways for radio programs to be made. Instead of a producer relying on leads from people they know, stories can now come in via online channels.
Poolside Stories shows some of the results of this ongoing collaboration between the broadcaster and the community, and the deep well of interesting stories that surface through the online conversations we're having with each other.
ABC Pool, the ABC's social media website, launched in 2008 and was online until mid-2013. It was an online space that was open to everyone, a place to share and engage with creative work and upload images, text, audio and video. The site was both an online and radio adventure and a unique space in the public broadcasting landscape.

Texas Responds to Obama's Gun-Control Announcement Exactly How You'd Expect
Texas lawmakers sounded off on President Barack Obama's executive action on guns.
Photo by Marco Torres
As President Barack Obama announced new executive actions aimed at curbing gun violence yesterday, Texas lawmakers wasted no time expressing their discontent at what they perceived was an overreach of presidential power and a trampling of constitutional rights.
Surrounded by family members of gun violence victims, a tearful Obama said he would move forward unilaterally on gun control, and explained a plan to crack down on sellers peddling weapons online and at gun shows by requiring them to be licensed and conduct extensive background checks on buyers.
Predictably, Texas politicians were displeased.
Gov. Greg Abbott didn't even bother to wait until Obama announced his plan, taking to Twitter on New Year's Day to offer a concise and strongly worded response (and he made sure the National Rifle Association saw his tweet, too).
Obama wants to impose more gun control. My response.#? COME & TAKE IT @NRA #tcot #PJNET https://t.co/RUPbcev5jY pic.twitter.com/8VNwisj966— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) January 1, 2016
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick put out a statement on his website, accusing Obama of "posturing."
"The President may not personally like it, but we have the constitutional right to protect ourselves, our families and our businesses," Patrick said in the statement. "If the president's goal is to sincerely help protect Americans he should make it easier to legally purchase, train and use their weapons of choice for protection than trot out phony new regulations to stand in their way."
In a press release yesterday, Attorney General Ken Paxton joined in the Lone Star State's pro-gun fun, too, accusing Obama of "pushing his personal and political agenda."
Sen. Ted Cruz managed to squeeze in his own comments while on the campaign trail in Iowa, telling reporters he would repeal all of Obama's executive orders if he became president. "It shouldn't surprise us that in the final year of his presidency, President Obama is committed to continuing to abuse his executive power in every way, shape and form, and especially in going after our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms," Cruz said, according to the Texas Tribune .
According to the Washington Post, Obama is legally allowed take this executive action because he is "clarifying" existing laws rather than creating completely new legislation, which would have needed to go through Congress first.
"I'm not on the ballot again; I'm not looking to score some points," Obama said during yesterday's announcement. "We understand there are some constraints on our freedom in order to protect innocent people."
There is a limit to the steps Obama can take on gun control without congressional approval, and this executive order appears to be rather modest despite our state leadership's worried rhetoric. It remains to be seen if these restrictions will impact the average gun owner in Texas.

Many Anti-Trump Arguments Are Hysteria
November 18, 2016
Trump is many things, and has said many things, but he's not a fascist, he's not deeply racist (although he has made racist statements), he's clearly no anti-Semite, and his views on immigration aren't far out of the mainstream.
Those of you getting your news from the German media may well be doing spit-take after spit-take, but this thorough and well-documented post from Slate Star Codex checks out all the most extreme claims about Trump and finds most of them overblown. You should read the entire thing, but here are some generous excerpts:
3. Is Trump getting a lot of his support from people who wouldn't join white nationalist groups, aren't in the online alt-right, but still privately hold some kind of white supremacist position?
There are surprisingly few polls that just straight out ask a representative sample of the population "Are you white supremacist?".
I can find a couple of polls that sort of get at this question in useful ways.
This poll from Gallup asks white Americans their support for school segregation and whether they would move out if a black family moved in next door. It declines from about 50% in 1960 to an amount too small to measure in the 1990s, maybe 1-2%, where it presumably remains today.
(this graph also seems relevant to the stories of how Trump's father would try to keep blacks out of his majority-white real estate developments in the late 60s/early 70s – note that at that time 33% of white families would move out if a black person moved in next door)
Here's a CBS News poll from 2014 asking Americans their opinion on the Civil Rights Act that legally prohibited discrimination. Once again, the number of whites who think it was a bad thing is too small to measure meaningfully, but looks like maybe 1-2%. Of note, whites were more convinced the Civil Rights Act was good than blacks were, though I guess it depends on the margin of error.
Another Gallup graph here, with the percent of people who would vs. wouldn't vote for an otherwise-qualified black candidate for President. It goes from 54% in 1968 to 5% in 1999; later polls that aren't included on the graph give numbers from 4% to 7%, which sounds probably within the margin of error.
This is a Vox poll asking how many people had favorable vs. unfavorable views of different groups. 11% admit to "somewhat unfavorable" or "very unfavorable" views of blacks, which sounds bad, except that 7% of people admit to unfavorable views of heterosexuals by the same definition. This makes me think "have an unfavorable view about this group" is not a very high bar. If we restrict true "white supremacists" to those who have only "very unfavorable" views of blacks, this is 3%, well in line with our other sources.
(of note, 1% of respondents had "never heard of" blacks. Um…)
Maybe a better way of looking for racists: David Duke ran for Senate in Louisiana this year. He came in seventh with 58,000 votes (3%). Multiplied over 50 states, that would suggest 2.5 million people who would vote for a leading white supremacist. On the other hand, Louisiana is one of the most racist states (for example, Slate's investigation found that it led the US in percent of racist tweets) and one expects Duke would have had more trouble in eg Vermont. Adjusting for racism level as measured in tweets, it looks like there would be about 1 million Duke voters in a nationwide contest. That's a little less than 1% of voters.
So our different ways of defining "open white supremacist", even for definitions of "open" so vague they include admitting it on anonymous surveys, suggest maybe 1-2%, 1-2%, 4-7%, 3-11%, and 1-3%.
But doesn't this still mean there are some white supremacists? Isn't this still really important?
I mean, kind of. But remember that 4% of Americans believe that lizardmen control all major governments. And 5% of Obama voters believe that Obama is the Antichrist. The white supremacist vote is about the same as the lizardmen-control-everything vote, or the Obama-is-the-Antichrist-but-I-support-him-anyway vote.
(and most of these people are in Solid South red states and don't matter in the electoral calculus anyway.)
This gets back to my doubts about "dog whistles". Dog whistling seems to be the theory that if you want to know what someone really believes, you have to throw away decades of consistent statements supporting the side of an issue that everyone else in the world supports, and instead pay attention only to one weird out-of-character non-statement which implies he supports a totally taboo position which is perhaps literally the most unpopular thing it is possible to think.
And then you have to imagine some of the most brilliant rhetoricians and persuaders in the world are calculating that it's worth risking exposure this taboo belief in order to win support from a tiny group with five-digit membership whose support nobody wants, by sending a secret message, which inevitably every single media outlet in the world instantly picks up on and makes the focus of all their coverage for the rest of the election.
Finally, no, none of this suggests that Donald Trump is courting the white supremacist vote. Anybody can endorse anybody with or without their consent. Did you know that the head of the US Communist Party endorsed Hillary, and Hillary never (as far as I know) "renounced" their endorsement? Does that mean Hillary is a Communist? Did you know that a leader of a murderous black supremacist cult supported Donald Trump and Trump said that he "loved" him? Does that mean Trump is a black supremacist? The only time this weird "X endorsed Y, that means Y must support X" thing is brought out, is in favor of the media narrative painting Trump to be a racist.
This, to me, is another form of crying wolf. One day you might have a candidate who openly courts the KKK, in the sense of having a campaign platform saying "I like the KKK and value their support", speaking at Klan meetings, et cetera. And instead, you've wasted the phrase "openly courts the KKK" on somebody with a twenty year history of loudly condemning the KKK, plus one weird interview where he said he didn't know anything about it, then changed his mind the next day and said he hates them.
6. What about Trump's "drugs and crime" speech about Mexicans?
Trump said that:When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Note how totally non-racist this statement is. I'm serious. It's anti-illegal-immigrant. But in terms of race, it's saying Latinos (like every race) include both good and bad people, and the bad people are the ones coming over here. It suggests a picture of Mexicans as including some of the best people – but those generally aren't the ones who are coming illegally.
Compare to eg Bill Clinton's 1996 platform (all emphasis mine):We cannot tolerate illegal immigration and we must stop it. For years before Bill Clinton became President, Washington talked tough but failed to act. In 1992, our borders might as well not have existed. The border was under-patrolled, and what patrols there were, were under-equipped. Drugs flowed freely. Illegal immigration was rampant. Criminal immigrants, deported after committing crimes in America, returned the very next day to commit crimes again. President Clinton is making our border a place where the law is respected and drugs and illegal immigrants are turned away.
Or John McCain in 2008:Border security is essential to national security. In an age of terrorism, drug cartels, and criminalgangs, allowing millions of unidentified persons to enter and remain in this country poses grave risks to the sovereignty of the United States and the security of its people.
Trump's platform contains similar language – and, like all past platforms, also contains language praising legal immigrants:Just as immigrant labor helped build our country in the past, today's legal immigrants are making vital contributions in every aspect of national life. Their industry and commitment to American values strengthens our economy, enriches our culture, and enables us to better understand and more effectively compete with the rest of the world.
We are particularly grateful to the thousands of new legal immigrants, many of them not yet citizens, who are serving in the Armed Forces and among first responders. Their patriotism should encourage all to embrace the newcomers legally among us, assist their journey to full citizenship, and help their communities avoid isolation from the mainstream of society. We are also thankful for the many legal immigrants who continue to contribute to American society.
When Democrats and Republicans alike over the last twenty years say that we are a nation of immigrants but that illegal immigrants threaten our security, or may be criminals or drug pushers, they're met with yawns. When Trump says exactly the same thing, he's Literally the KKK.
7. What about the border wall? Doesn't that mean Trump must hate Mexicans?
As multiple sources point out, both Hillary and Obama voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which put up a 700 mile fence along the US-Mexican border. Politifact says that Hillary and Obama wanted a 700 mile fence but Trump wants a 1000 mile wall, so these are totally different. But really? Support a 700 mile fence, and you're the champion of diversity and all that is right in the world; support a 1000 mile wall and there's no possible explanation besides white nationalism?
10. Isn't Trump anti-Semitic?
I feel like an attempt to avoid crying wolf might reserve that term for people who didn't win an Israeli poll on what candidate would best represent Israel's interests, or doesn't have a child who converted to Judaism, or hasn't won various awards from the American Jewish community for his contributions to Israel and American Judaism, or wasn't the grand marshal of a Salute To Israel Parade, or…
14. Haven't there been hundreds of incidents of Trump-related hate crimes?
This isn't a criticism of Trump per se (he's demanded that his supporters avoid hate crimes), but it seems relevant to the general tenor of the campaign.
SPLC said they have 300 such hate incidents, although their definition of "hate incident" includes things like "someone overheard a racist comment in someone else's private conversation, then challenged them about it and got laughed at". Let's take that number at face value (though see here)
If 47% of America supports Trump (= the percent of vote he got extrapolated to assume non-voters feel the same way), there are 150,000,000 Trump supporters. That means there has been one hate incident per 500,000 Trump supporters.
But aren't there probably lots of incidents that haven't been reported to SLPC? Maybe. Maybe there's two unreported attacks for every reported one, which means that the total is one per 150,000 Trump supporters. Or maybe there are ten unreported attacks for every reported one, which means that the total is one per 45,000 Trump supporters. Since nobody has any idea about this, it seems weird to draw conclusions from it.
Oh, also, I looked on right-wing sites to see if there are complaints of harassment and attacks by Hillary supporters, and there are. Among the stories I was able to confirm on moderately trustworthy news sites that had investigated them somewhat (a higher standard than the SLPC holds their reports to) are ones about how Hillary supporters have beaten up people for wearing Trump hats, screamed encouragement as a mob beat up a man who they thought voted Trump, knocked over elderly people, beaten up a high school girl for supporting Trump on Instagram, defaced monuments with graffiti saying "DIE WHITES DIE", advocated raping Melania Trump, kicked a black homeless woman who was holding a Trump sign, attacked a pregnant woman stuck in her car, with a baseball bat, screamed at children who vote Trump in a mock school election, etc, etc, etc.
But please, keep talking about how somebody finding a swastika scrawled in a school bathroom means that every single Trump supporter is scum and Trump's whole campaign was based on hatred.
Whatever bizarre, divisive, ill-advised, and revolting thing you're about to mention, the answer is probably yes.
This is equally true on race-related and non-race-related issues. People ask "How could Trump believe the wacky conspiracy theory that Obama was born in Kenya, if he wasn't racist?" I don't know. How could Trump believe the wacky conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism? How could Trump believe the wacky conspiracy theory that the Clintons killed Vince Foster? How could Trump believe the wacky conspiracy theory that Ted Cruz's father shot JFK?
Trump will apparently believe anything for any reason, especially about his political opponents. If Clinton had been black but Obama white, we'd be hearing that the Vince Foster conspiracy theory proves Trump's bigotry, and the birtherism was just harmless wackiness.
Likewise, how could Trump insult a Mexican judge just for being Mexican? I don't know. How could Trump insult a disabled reporter just for being disabled? How could Trump insult John McCain just for being a beloved war hero? Every single person who's opposed him, Trump has insulted in various offensive ways, including 140 separate incidents of him calling someone "dopey" or "dummy" on Twitter, and you expect him to hold his mouth just because the guy is a Mexican?
I don't think people appreciate how weird this guy is. His weird way of speaking. His catchphrases like "haters and losers!" or "Sad!". His tendency to avoid perfectly reasonable questions in favor of meandering tangents about Mar-a-Lago. The ability to bait him into saying basically anything just by telling him people who don't like him think he shouldn't.
If you insist that Trump would have to be racist to say or do whatever awful thing he just said or did, you are giving him too much credit. Trump is just randomly and bizarrely terrible. Sometimes his random and bizarre terribleness is about white people, and then we laugh it off. Sometimes it's about minorities, and then we interpret it as racism.
Why am I harping on this?
I work in mental health. So far I have had two patients express Trump-related suicidal ideation. One of them ended up in the emergency room, although luckily both of them are now safe and well. I have heard secondhand of several more.
Like Snopes, I am not sure if the reports of eight transgender people committing suicide due to the election results are true or false. But if they're true, it seems really relevant that Trump denounced North Carolina's anti-transgender bathroom law, and proudly proclaimed he would let Caitlyn Jenner use whatever bathroom she wanted in Trump Tower, making him by far the most pro-transgender Republican president in history.
I notice news articles like Vox: Donald Trump's Win Tells People Of Color They Aren't Welcome In America. Or Salon's If Trump Wins, Say Goodbye To Your Black Friends. MSN: Women Fear For Their Lives After Trump Victory.
Vox writes about the five-year-old child who asks "Is Donald Trump a bad person? Because I heard that if he becomes president, all the black and brown people have to leave and we're going to become slaves." The Star writes about a therapist called in for emergency counseling to help Muslim kids who think Trump is going to kill them. I have patients who are afraid to leave their homes.
Listen. Trump is going to be approximately as racist as every other American president. Maybe I'm wrong and he'll be a bit more. Maybe he'll surprise us and be a bit less. But most likely he'll be about as racist as Ronald Reagan, who employed Holocaust denier Pat Buchanan as a senior advisor. Or about as racist as George Bush with his famous Willie Horton ad. Or about as racist as Bill "superpredator" Clinton, who took a photo op in front of a group of chained black men in the birthplace of the KKK. Or about as racist as Bush "doesn't care about black people!" 43. He'll have some scandals, people who want to see them as racist will see them as racist, people who don't will dismiss them as meaningless, and nobody will end up in death camps.

Horror Trail at Amazing Fall Fun
There's something unsettling in the heart of northeast Indiana. First locals heard about the man who disappeared from Waterloo after reportedly being "agitated." Then they heard about the rough-around-the-edges residents of "historic Cob Town," even though nobody read about that place in school. And all the while there were the endless fields of corn waving gently—some might say sinisterly—in the breeze.
Now it's all rising to the surface. At Horror Trail at Amazing Fall Fun brave souls can venture into 12 acres of corn to find Cob Town and the renegade Cobbies that lie in wait within. The maze-like paths are narrow, the corn is high, and the screams echo through the air just about every night.

Across sub-Saharan Africa, the land is changing. Growing seasons have shortened, reservoirs have emptied, and rainfall is increasingly erratic. The effects of drought and climate change are prominent across the landscape.
In Northern Ghana, Abdul is a rice and maize farmer struggling to adapt to these changes. His livelihood depends on making the right decisions for his farm: which crops to grow, when to plant, and which fertilizers and seeds to purchase. Abdul is not alone, in fact, 60-90% of the region's laborers are farmers. These small scale farmers are responsible for feeding nearly the entire population, and they all rely on one increasingly limited resource: rain.
Rain-fed agriculture accounts for 96% of all cultivated land in sub-Saharan Africa, and that isn't likely to change. A recent study in northern Ghana showed that of the various adaptation strategies to climate change, only a very small number of people are choosing to intensify irrigation.
The reliance on rain translates into a crucial need for accurate weather forecasts. While you cannot change the weather, being able to predict and adapt to difficult weather conditions can be the difference between starvation and making a living for subsistence farmers, many of whom live on less than two dollars a day.
Bringing highly accurate weather forecasts to farmers in sub-Saharan Africa is no small feat. My startup, Ignitia, an Imagine H2O Water Data Cohort Company, is tackling this challenge head on. By providing timely, location-specific weather forecasts via SMS, our goal is to help farmers adapt to variable weather conditions, and make the best decisions they can for their family. With better forecasting, farmers can time their planting and fertilizer application to make the most of the rain when it arrives. Our proprietary forecasting model is calibrated specifically for the tropics, so our accuracy is twice that of global models.
Beyond daily rain forecasts, our farmers also get a seasonal outlook. Access to information can truly transform decision making. When we caught up with Abdul, he told us, "I received a seasonal outlook back in March, which told me the season was likely to be hotter and drier than usual. So I decided to buy drought resistant fertilizer rather than my usual. It costs me GHC20,000 (about $6,000) but without it I would not have had as good a yield as I did."
Every stage of the farming cycle is dependent on the weather, so access to accurate forecasting is crucial to reducing risk and improving yields. We're helping millions of small scale farmers like Abdul access this information, one text message at a time.
Ignitia is a high-tech social enterprise and a cohort company of the 2016 Imagine H2O Water Data Challenge. Ignitia benefits small-scale farmers in West Africa by sending a daily forecast via SMS, provided in partnership with major telecommunication firms.

Paraphimosis is a condition that occurs in male dogs and prevents the penis from retracting properly. This health issue affects dogs of all breeds and ages. Because paraphimosis can interfere with processes like urination, it's important to seek care for your dog as soon as the problem becomes apparent.
Evaluate your dog for signs of paraphimosis. Symptoms may include difficulty urinating and discomfort in the affected area. You may also notice that your dog dribbles urine at times.
Contact your vet for an immediate appointment. This condition causes your canine a lot of discomfort, so immediate care is important. Keep your dog calm while transporting him to the vet by speaking in a calm voice and remaining relaxed yourself. Dogs are intuitive and sense our emotions.
Work with the vet to create a treatment program. The vet should soak the affected area in cold water and remove any obstructions. This should allow the penis to go back to its normal position. A sedative may be administered to your canine to keep him calm.
Watch your dog closely. When you bring him home from the vet, monitor the affected area daily. Any changes--including redness and swelling--should be reported to the vet.
Encourage your dog to relax. Experiencing paraphyimosis can be stressful to a dog. Move his crate or bed to a quiet area of the home and encourage him to rest as much as possible.

That brings Heitkamp's fundraising total this cycle to more than $3.7 million, and Berg's to almost $5.8 million.
Berg reported more than $1.5 million cash on hand for the final three weeks of the cycle, but Heitkamp has not yet posted her cash-on-hand total. At the end of the last reporting cycle, Heitkamp faced a substantial cash-on-hand deficit, and it remains to be seen whether she's been able to shore up that disadvantage.
But Berg's available cash on hand has shrunk from nearly $2.2 million at the end of June to the $1.5 million he posted on Monday.
Heitkamp's campaign highlighted the more than $1 million that she raised from in-state donors — more than any other statewide Democratic candidate in history. Berg raised more than $1.5 from in-state contributors thus far.
--This post was published at 3:48 p.m. and updated at 7:04 p.m. to reflect Berg's in-state contributions.
