HOUSTON—We're already here in Texas, preparing for three days of NBA-related revelry. You know what that means—yeehaw, it's time for Throwin' Elbows:
The stars of the show
It is a rarity that All-Star weekend gives us the one thing that might make the whole affair all the more compelling—a game worth watching.
All too often, after the skills and shooting and dunk contests are over, interest in the game itself flags, and, really, no one much cares about a defense-free, 160-125 exhibition game, no matter who the league has lined up to do the halftime show.
Last year was a bit different, though—because the game highlighted the two best players in the league, going head-to-head and really, really wanting to win.
In the end, it was Kevin Durant who led the West to the win, getting the MVP thanks to 36 points on 14-for-25 shooting. LeBron James was just a half-step behind, though, going for 36 points, too, on 15-for-26 shooting.
That All-Star showdown was a precursor to the NBA Finals matchup in June, and that, obviously, turned out OK for James.
The league was wise to schedule Heat-Thunder on the Thursday heading into the All-Star weekend, because the James-Durant matchup in that game helps pump up their personal rivalry, which will be the chief topic of interest over the three-day weekend.
That culminates on Sunday. Maybe one of the problems with the All-Star Game is that none of the players really care who wins, but this one could be different—the bet here is that after last year's well-played loss, James does, in fact, want to get the win.
From the file of the always cryptic KG
So what, exactly, did Kevin Garnett mean Wednesday night when he said this would be his last All-Star Game? He said he would bring his family to Houston and spend more time enjoying the event with them.
Garnett can be notably cagey in interviews and, indeed, he was cryptic with the media on the subject of future All-Star appearances. He does have two years left on his contract, and immediately after he said there would be no more All-Star Games, speculation cropped up (again) that he could be retiring, or that perhaps he would be traded.
2013 Rising Stars Challenge rosters
2013 All-Star Saturday night: Shooting Stars rosters | Skills Challenge rosters | 3-point Contest
rosters | Slam-Dunk Contest rosters
Here is what Garnett said: "Y'all don't know what I know, though, so … let's just put it like this: I'm more than grateful for going, I'm not going to act like I got more All-Star Games in me, so I'm just going to actually enjoy this one with friends and family, that's what I meant."
True, that could be a guy who is thinking about retiring. But more likely, it is a guy who has been in the league for 17 seasons and is turning 37 this year. Garnett is averaging decent enough numbers—15.1 points on 7.7 rebounds—but surely he can look at the state of the Eastern Conference and project that it is unlikely he'll be voted in as a starter again next year, and just as unlikely that he would be chosen by the coaches as a reserve.
Thus, the Garnett clan will be here in Houston for the weekend, but don't read too much into it.
About that revamped Warriors defense …
Given the way the last five games have gone, no one needs a break quite like the Golden State Warriors, who were, until about a week ago, the darlings of the first half, at 30-17 and with center Andrew Bogut returning to health after rehabbing his ankle injury.
They've lost five straight and slipped to No. 6 on the Western Conference playoff board. The culprit has been the defense that was eloquently described the other night by Bogut as horse excrement.
Starting with a brutal game in which the Houston Rockets laid a barrage of 3-pointers on them and scored 140 points, the Warriors have given up 118.0 points per game over their last five games.
Bogut is part of the problem—not in his performance, but in the way that his presence has affected how the Warriors have approached their defense.
They're not loaded with good individual defenders, but when they were winning, there was extra effort and hustle, and that goes a long way toward building a good team defense.
Now that Bogut, an excellent shot-blocker, is back, it's as if the Warriors have lightened up on the defensive intensity, figuring they have protection on the back line in Bogut.
Obviously, that has to change. Bogut should help this defense, but he can't do so if his teammates are scaling back their defensive effort.

A sneak peek of this week's Falmouth/Penryn and Helston Packets
In this week's Falmouth/Penryn Packet - out now!
The sole survivor of a car wreck caused by the horror smash in Penryn this week has paid tribute to his wife, who died in the crash.
Nigel Toy, aged 65, was a passenger in his friend's BMW 3-series when it was struck by a tipper lorry at the junction of Brown's Hill and the B3292 on Wednesday:
See this week's Falmouth/Penryn Packet for the full exclusive
Managers with up to 20 years experience are under threat of redundancy from A&P.
The Packet has learnt that "seven or eight" area manager and technical manager positions at Falmouth Docks no longer exist.
Plans to develop fields on the outskirts of Falmouth, covering them with up to 300 houses, were described as "medieval pillaging" at a meeting where the outline scheme was approved.
Three people were treated for smoke inhalation following a fire in a conservatory at the rear of a house in Grenville Road, Falmouth, in the early hours of Monday morning.
Both Falmouth lifeboats and the rescue helicopter from Culdrose were in action on Friday evening searching for a "suicidal" missing person along the coast.
Emergency services went on to scour the countryside around Penryn for more than four hours before locating the wayward soul.
The director of Falmouth's Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society has resigned, prompting concerns for the art centre's future.
Charles Savage stood down from his post at the Poly last week, just nine months after first taking up the reigns.
Three fire engines and a water carrier were scrambled to a hut fire on Pendennis Headland at the weekend amid fears that somebody might be trapped inside.
Only after the blaze was extinguished could firefighters establish that no one was inside the structure:
In this week's Helston Packet - out now!
The parents of a woman trampled by a cow that was protecting a young calf are hoping for a change in legislation to prevent a similar mishap befalling another family.
Tesco in Helston has applied to build a "customer collection pod" to allow its Click and Collect service to finally go ahead.
The churchyard of Helston's parish church of St Michael's is the latest area to be tackled by the Town Tidy Team.
Volunteers were out in force armed with a large supply of black plastic refuse sacks and wheelbarrows to rid the churchyard of moss and weeds, repaint chipped handrails and clear up litter.
Advertising could soon be on display in St Keverne's public toilets in a bid to boost funds.
The parish council is looking into giving local business the chance to promote themselves, in return for a fee.
Walking a route through Penrose Woods, children and their parents took to the footpath for a sponsored woodland walk in aid of Cancer Research UK recently.
The day proved a success and a "great way" to get the children involved with fundraising for the charity, a spokesperson said:
Check out Pendennis/Peninsular Point of View (PPV) for a lighter look at local life in both the Falmouth/Penryn and Helston Packets.
AND look out for Rocky the Rooster's cocky comment!
(Falmouth/Penryn Packet only)
For all this news - and much, much more - don't forget to pick up your copy of the Falmouth/Penryn and Helston Packets... OUT NOW!

A couple of years ago, a friend asked me if I had vacation plans. Yeah, I said. In July, I'm going to Missouri. That, he said, is no vacation.
And in a way that has nothing to do with the staggering heat or the withering humidity, he was right. It wasn't a vacation. It was a trip back in time to discover roots I hadn't even known existed for most of my life.
My maternal grandfather, Finley Beckham, was a man proud of his ancestry, and it was likely he who sparked my interest in family history.
Whenever Granddad would visit any of his many children, he would peruse the phone books looking for Beckhams. Sometimes, much to my grandmother's consternation, he would call them up. He was convinced all the Beckhams of the world were related, and you know, it might be true. Granddad's father married three times, having six children with each wife. His father had married four times and was even more vigorous in efforts to populate the world with Beckhams.
The Beckham tree is traceable all the way back to England and a town named for the family. The Beckham history merely sharpened my appetite for more. I was especially interested in learning about my maternal great-great-grandfather, who died in the Civil War, and my paternal grandmother, who is supposed to have been American Indian.
As I researched them exclusively, the genealogy bug bit me hard and sent me scurrying for any and all information I could find about my ancestors. It was as if finding them helped define who I am. Strengths and weaknesses, quirks and dislikes became explainable and understandable with each new leaf I uncovered.
It hasn't been easy. I've encountered dead ends and perplexing mysteries. Looking for proof of my Indian blood, I took Ancestry.com's DNA test and became even more confused. My DNA contains 2 percent "other," but all the rest of me is European and Scandinavian.
Because my grandmothers' roots were the most interesting to me, it took a while for me to turn my attention to the other male component of my tree, my paternal grandfather, Morgan Morris. I was pleased to find his lineage, like that of my maternal grandfather's, had been well-documented among my relatives. My Uncle T.D. provided me with a wealth of information.
One day, he sent me an email containing a newspaper article about the dedication of a statue in Boonville, Mo., honoring Hannah Cole, a pioneer woman who had helped establish the town.
I wondered why T.D. had sent it. My relatives, knowing I'm a writer, sometimes send me things they think will interest me. And Hannah was an interesting story, all right.
In 1809, Hannah, her husband, William Temple Cole, and their nine children left Virginia and headed west. They made it as far as Loutre Island, Mo., where they homesteaded with a small group of others, including Hannah's sister and her husband, Stephen Cole, brother to William.
The following year, a raiding party of Sac and Potawatomi Indians crept into the encampment and took some horses. The Cole brothers led a recovery party that ended with William being killed and Stephen being seriously wounded.
Hannah, now widowed with a family to raise, had a choice: return to her family in Virginia or move on. She chose the latter, traveling to a bluff overlooking the Missouri River, where she and her children built a home and later, a fort. Hannah set up a business ferrying westward bound pilgrims across the river.
Hannah's home served as the first school, the first seat of government in the town, and even though she wasn't permitted to vote, the first polling place.
I wrote back to T.D., thanking him for the interesting story, saying she was certainly a woman to admire and emulate. He wrote back and told me to check my family tree. I was a direct descendant.
Turns out that Hannah is my seven-times great-grandmother. I had filled in her name, birth and death dates on to the branch that would eventually grow to include my grandfather, father and me, but I had never known her amazing story.
I rechecked the article T.D. had sent me, studying the picture of the statue. It is of a woman, weary from work, looking toward the West and to the future.
So one hot July week, I made the trip to Boonville in time for the annual Cole family reunion. My sister and I visited the statue and Hannah's grave and tried to absorb the reverence that Hannah still holds in that area. In addition to her statue, her name graces a park, the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and more recently, an elementary school.
All that history, and I had never known. It was a thrilling reminder that to know who we are, we must know the people who came before us. Not just their dates of birth and death, but how they lived. Hannah, who always has been part of my DNA, is now a part of my heart.

39 — By Richard Thiel — February 2002
Image Upgrade
|Part 2: Silverton 39 continued
More noticeable is the woodwork. It's all cherry, including solid raised-panel doors and dining table top. Don't look for the flawless, mirrorlike finish on something from England or Italy, but finished in satin varnish and accented by a plush vinyl overhead and Ultraleather upholstery, the result is a warmer, classier ambiance. The joinery is noticeably improved as well, courtesy of CNC routers, and better-quality brass-and-chrome door hardware and Moen plumbing fixtures and countertops of Corian instead of molded fiberglass provide pleasing counterpoints.
How did Silverton upgrade all this and keep the base price of the 39 under $279,500 with gasoline power ($328,530 with diesels)? Beyond improved production efficiencies, one answer is judicious selection of standard equipment. While the 39 has a lengthy list of standards, some of what you might expect to be standard on a 39-footer is not: the aft-deck enclosure ($2,553), exterior carpet ($1,225), fore and aft washdowns ($385 each), electric--as opposed to just heat exchanger--water heater ($535), and for me the biggest surprise, TVs. That's right, no TVs are standard. A 20-inch unit with separate VCR for the saloon costs $980, and you'll pay $820 each for the 13-inch TV/ VCRs that grace the forward and master staterooms.
Is this a rip-off? Hardly, given the fact that even with a 20-item options list that included, besides the gear noted above, three-zone air conditioning, Kohler diesel genset with soundshield, VacuFlush MSDs, windlass, Raymarine electronics (autopilot, chartplotter, GPS, radar, VHF, and Tridata), and Glendinning Cablemaster, our 39 carried a list price of under $416,000.
For that price you also get some neat twists to the aft-cabin paradigm. The windlass is inside the anchor locker, hidden from view and errant feet yet easily accessible. The bridge has good sight lines forward and to either side, and the console perfectly accommodates the optional Raymarine electronics with minimum clutter. The helm seats--not always Silverton's forte--are comfortable and feature flip-up bolsters for stand-up operation. And there are seven drink holders up here.
Unlike many aft cabins, this one has no partition between the bridge and aft deck, so passengers on both levels won't feel isolated. To maximize cockpit deck space, the aft seat is recessed into the transom, and a forward port-side wetbar is standard, although it has only cold water. There are six more drink holders here and two ways to board: a molded-in raised starboard step for fixed docks and a port-side stairway to the four-foot-deep swim platform for floating docks. A starboard pod at platform level provides stowage and a place for shore-side hook-ups.
The saloon is also different: unusually bright, thanks to a glass windshield and big flush-mounted side windows with opening panels for cross-ventilation, a touch you'll find in the aft and forward staterooms, too. That's a welcome departure from builders who assume everyone orders air conditioning and uses it all the time. Although TV is optional, a Glomex TV/FM antenna with tuner is standard, presumably to accommodate the standard full-size tuner and three-CD player. (More upscale entertainment gear is available.) A small cabinet by the companionway holds the battery switches, so it's easy to turn everything off as you leave.
The galley, down a step and to starboard, is notable for its abundant counter space, stowage--including a nice counter-level slide out pantry--and oak sole. A coffee maker, microwave/convection oven, full-size refrigerator, and three-burner stovetop are standard; a conventional oven is an option.
Like the galley, the fore and aft staterooms, separated by sliding doors, are marked by an abundance of stowage, but the real news here is the split shower and head in the aft master. Each compartment--especially the aft shower--is large and has its own solid cherry and frosted-glass door. Silverton upgraded the cabinet pulls here and throughout, but while they look nice, I found their openings too small for my normal-size fingers.
The roomy staterooms come at the expense of a less-than-commodious engine room accessed by a narrow hatch in the saloon sole. Once I was inside all the mechanicals seemed to be accessible, although doing anything more than fluid checks on the genset would require extra nimbleness. PFS dripless shaft seals, engine-coolant reservoirs, and interior strainers are all standard, but alas, battery boxes are not.
Because a gale on test day restricted our performance tests to the Intracoastal I can't say much of the 39's seakeeping. Silverton is refreshingly candid about her abilities, however, saying her dimensions and hull form weren't conceived with bluewater passagemaking in mind. From what I could tell, she's stable and her handling is predictable.
Predictable is not a word I'd use to describe the 39, however. If you board her expecting to find the same old Silverton level of fit and finish, you'll be surprised, even more so when you discover that this is one image makeover that apparently didn't leave any of the admirable qualities--like price--behind.

How Breastfeeding Works
Breastfeeding is the normal way to feed a baby. Babies are born with reflexes that help them find the breast and begin nursing. But for mother and baby both, breastfeeding is a learned art. In the past, little girls grew up watching experienced mothers putting babies to breast. Today, many women have never seen anyone breastfeed before being handed their own first baby. Without assistance, learning how to position and latch the baby can seem difficult. Mothers also need help interpreting feeding cues and in being able to tell whether their baby is feeding well. It doesn't quite seem fair that mothers must learn these new skills during a time when they are tired and still recovering from childbirth! The first few weeks can be challenging, but with support, mothers can enjoy the special intimacy and vital health benefits provided by breastfeeding.

Using jBridgeM to convert 32-bit plug-ins (Mac)
- Live Versions: 8.4 - 9
- Operating System: OSX
32-bit plug-ins will not show up in Live's browser in the 64-bit version of Live, and vice versa.
We recommend installing native 64-bit versions of the plug-ins where available. For any older, legacy plug-ins which are only available in 32-bit mode, it's possible to use third-party tools such as jBridge to bridge them for use in the 64-bit version of Live.
An overview of using Live with plug-ins
See our dedicated article for recommendations on using VST plug-ins in Live.
Most likely, you'll have VST plug-ins installed that either support 32-bit only, 64-bit only or both. These plug-ins are usually installed into one of the following folders:
- /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/
- /Users/[your_user_name]/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/
If you have "Use VST Plug-In System Folders" enabled in your 64-bit version of Live (Preferences > File/Folder tab), Live will keep track of any VST plug-ins that have been installed into the two folders listed above, and will already show all 64-bit VST plug-ins in the Plug-Ins Category in the Browser (Live 9) or in the Plug-In Device Browser (Live 8.4).
Installing jBridgeM
Download and install jBridgeM.
Please note that jBridgeM is not freeware. You will have to pay a small fee once the demo has expired.
Performing plug-in bridging
Bridging needs to be done as a specific task before the plug-ins can be used. The process is also walked through in the detailed jBridgeM setup description.
- Run the jBridgerM tool.
- In the window that is shown, the default setting "Bridge 32bit plugins" works well in most situations. If you only have a few VSTs and already know which of them are 32-bit and need to be bridged, you can select the option to choose some plug-ins only manually.
- In the same window, now choose that you'll be using a 64-bit VST host.
- After you've done this, the jBridgerM will start analyzing all VST plug-ins in your two system folders.
- When this is finished, the jBridgerM tool will create a folder that contains all bridged plug-ins, as shown at the bottom of the window: /Users/[your_user_name]/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/PluginsBridgedFor64BitVSTHosts
- Remember this path and quit jBridgerM.
Cleaning up
If you have manually chosen specific plug-ins only to be bridged, as mentioned above, you can skip this and proceed with making Live aware of the bridged plug-ins.
Otherwise, as the bridging process has scanned all available 32-bit plug-ins, you'll most likely see bridged versions of VST plug-ins that are also available as native 64-bit plug-ins. Since the bridged versions are unnecessary here, follow these steps to remove them:
- Navigate to the folder /Users/[your_user_name]/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/PluginsBridgedFor64BitVSTHosts
- Manually delete all .vst files from this folder that you know are installed as native 64-bit plug-ins.
Making Live aware of the bridged plug-ins
Finally, to make the bridged plug-ins appear in Live's Plug-In-Device browser:
- Start Live, open the Preferences and show the File/Folder tab.
- Make sure "Use VST Plug-In System Folders" is enabled. Alternatively, you can enable "Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder" and select /Users/[your_user_name]/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/PluginsBridgedFor64BitVSTHosts as the Custom Folder.
- Live will now scan this folder and show all bridged VST plug-ins in a dedicated subfolder in the Plug-Ins Category in the Browser (Live 9) or in the Plug-In Device Browser (Live 8.4).
Updates to Live will not affect this functionality, so your jBridgeM settings and bridged plug-ins will still work after updating.
Updates to jBridgeM should be installed over the older version. Nothing else needs to be done.

Dental Anesthesia
Infection and Anesthesia
Why an infection area presents a poor site of local anesthesia?
Regarding the difficulties of attaining profound local anesthesia in an area of infection. The answer to the question is related to very basic chemistry.
A common acid is vinegar and a common base is baking soda. When an acid is added to a base, the acid is neutralized and a chemical reaction typically results.
In the case of vinegar plus baking soda, bubbles of carbon dioxide gas are produced. If an acid is added to another acid, no reaction takes place.
Local anesthetics before injection are slightly acidic to make them dissolve in sterile water and, once the anesthetic is injected into the body, the anesthetic must depend on the slightly basic nature of the body tissues and body fluids to neutralize the acid nature of the anesthetic so that the anesthetic molecules can be transformed into fat-soluble molecules.
It is only when the anesthetic molecules are in their fat-soluble form that they can penetrate into the inside of the nerve to block pain impulses.
In the presence of infection, the body tissues and fluids in the area of infection lose their normal "basic" nature and become acidic. Infections interfere with normal activities of body tissues, so acids from metabolism are not taken away but rather build up at the infection site.
Therefore, if the local anesthetic is injected into an infected area, the water-soluble local anesthetic molecules cannot be neutralized because the infected body tissues are no longer basic, but rather acidic.
So the local anesthetic molecules stay in their water-soluble form and cannot penetrate into the nerve to block painful nerve impulses.

Our shelter is not open to the public and is by appointment only. That's because at OSCAR, one of our highest priorities is the health and well-being of the animals in our care. Unlike city shelters or pounds, whose residents are in place for a short time, as a no-kill shelter, our pets are often with us for weeks, months or even years. The shelter is the only safe place and home they know. When strangers, even well-meaning ones looking to adopt, walk through the shelter, it stresses our animals. We make appointments for potential adopters that submitted applications that have been approved through our process to meet our dogs either in our BarkYard or one of our meeting rooms. We'll spend as much time as you need and introduce you to as many animals as you'd like to meet in order to make the best match and help you find the perfect new family member!
We hold pet adoption events as much as possible for anyone interested in our animals. It is a great chance for you to come down and meet a bunch of dogs/cats before deciding who is a good fit for you. If you are coming to an adoption event to see a certain dog/cat, please email ahead of time to make sure that dog/cat will be there that day. Please email 1-2 days before the event, as some animals are placed during the week and our list is constantly changing. Individual meet and greets with specific animals are by appointment only.
An approved application must be on file prior to scheduling of a meet and greet.

FOSTERING—You can take a dog or cat into your home for a period of time (1 week to a few months). You take care of them and give them the extra time they need until they find a home of their own. Many animals are very adoptable but are in high-kill shelters where they only have 3 days to find a home. Most just need more time to find their new family. This is a very rewarding experience to know YOU were the reason they are alive.
TRANSPORTING—These volunteer legs (usually 45 minutes to 1 hour each way) are the difference between life and death for most animals. Many shelters down south put to sleep 250 dogs per week. It's unbelievable, but it's true. Many rescues up north have the room and can rescue these dogs; its just a matter of getting people/families to volunteer to drive a leg. Each leg varies according to area, availability of transporters, and rescues. How it works is a coordinator sets up a run sheet that they send out with a route on it, people volunteer for the leg in their area that best fits into their schedule or their hearts. If you would like to volunteer for transport, please email us for more info:
email@example.com. Transport is a crucial part of animal rescue and we can always use help. Thank you!
SUPPLY DRIVE—We collect old blankets, towels, sheets; small, medium & large dog collars, leashes; carriers/crates; dog food; dog beds; and monetary donations for vet bills (spay/neuter).
FUNDRAISING—We are always looking for people to help with events and even plan them.
Thousands of animals are saved each month by a network of rescuers who work together.
Please join us and help make a HUGE difference!
For more information, email email@example.com
For an application go to: www.OscarAnimalRescue.org
The adoption process is to first fill out an application. You can go to www.OscarAnimalRescue.org to fill out the application. Once we call your references and if its a good fit for all, we schedule a meet and greet.
Our dogs/cats are not first come/first serve. We place our dogs/cats with the home that is the best fit for them. Not all animals are good in all homes, whether it's their personalities, nature, or breed. We base our decision on what's best for the dog/cat and the family. Thanks for understanding!
Please remember everyone who resides in the home must know about the adoption, and its not a surprise to any member of the family. We need everyone to be on board about adopting. Thank you for understanding.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to One Step Closer Animal Rescue (O.S.C.A.R.).
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Osteoarthritis and diet: Joined at the hip
Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative joint disease, is the most prevalent joint disorder in dogs, affecting as many as 20% of adult dogs.1 Osteoarthritis is associated with inflammation and increased degradation or loss of proteoglycans from the extracellular matrix, resulting in a morphologic breakdown in articular cartilage.2 There's no known cure for osteoarthritis, so treatment is focused on controlling pain, improving joint function, and slowing the degenerative process within the joint.3 Standard veterinary medical care typically involves weight management, controlled exercise, and anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications. In addition to medical therapy, dietary management can play an important role in the clinical management of dogs with osteoarthritis.
Weight management in osteoarthritis
Obesity, or excess body weight, results from consuming more calories than are needed to maintain a lean body condition. Obesity is recognized as a risk factor for osteoarthritis in both people and dogs. Preventing obesity can help reduce the incidence and severity of osteoarthritis.4-8 Excess body weight affects dogs from puppyhood through old age. When at-risk puppies were fed ad libitum, they exhibited an increased incidence and severity of hip joint laxity and hip dysplasia compared with puppies fed 25% less.9 Over time, those dogs fed to maintain lean body condition throughout their lifetimes exhibited a delayed need for treatment and reduced severity of osteoarthritis in the hips and other joints compared with their heavier siblings.6 (For additional information on the orthopedic aspects of this study, see the article by Dr. Gail Smith.) One of the most compelling findings from this study was the observation that even a mild degree of excess body weight can adversely affect joint health. This is important, since more than 25% of dogs seen by veterinarians are overweight or obese.10The effect of obesity on osteoarthritis may be more than just physical strain due to weight bearing. Obesity is now recognized as an inflammatory condition; adipose tissue or associated macrophages produce inflammatory cytokines.11-15 C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and other inflammatory mediators are elevated in the blood and adipose tissue of obese subjects, and are thought to contribute to many complications associated with obesity such as osteoarthritis.11,13,16-18 Obesity is also associated with an increase in oxidative stress.13,19
Multiple studies have shown that weight loss helps decrease lameness and pain and increase joint mobility in patients with osteoarthritis.5,20-22 Overweight dogs with coxofemoral joint osteoarthritis demonstrated decreased lameness (as measured by objective force-plate analysis and subjective clinical and client assessment) following weight reduction to ideal body condition.
In addition to dietary energy, dietary protein may play an important role in helping achieve and maintain ideal body condition. Protein has several physiologic effects that may benefit weight control: protein stimulates metabolism and protein turnover, induces thermogenesis, and promotes satiety.23-28 During weight loss and subsequent weight maintenance, increased protein intake promotes loss of body fat with retention of lean body mass.29-31 These aspects of protein may enhance weight loss in dogs with osteoarthritis.
Fatty acids in osteoarthritis
A primary target of osteoarthritis treatment is the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes—especially the COX-2 enzyme—through the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).32-34 COX-2 selective inhibitors can decrease prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations and block inflammatory pathways involved in osteoarthritis, as well as reduce pain and lameness.32,33,35-38 Blocking both the COX and lipooxygenase (LOX) enzymes at the active sites of 5-LOX, COX-1, and COX-2 significantly reduces matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), IL-1β, leukotriene (LT) B4, and PGE2, resulting in decreased tissue damage in arthritic joints.39

If you are serious about increasing transaction volume this year, you need to add mobile transactions to your strategy. Mobile turned out to be a major factor in driving Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales last year, according to a study by IBM, and you can bet it will be even bigger this year.
If you are serious about increasing transaction volume this year, you need to add mobile transactions to your strategy. Mobile turned out to be a major factor in driving Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales last year, according to a study by IBM, and you can bet it will be even bigger this year.
Through March of this year smartphones and tablets accounted for almost half of digital time spent on retail websites and applications according to comScore, a research firm.Since 2011, mobile sales have increased almost three fold to $38.4 billion annually. According to estimates provided by eMarketer, mobile sales could double by 2016 to $86.9 billion.
Gartner takes a more global view, reporting worldwide mobile payment transaction values will reach $235.4 billion in 2013, a 44% increase from 2012 values of $163.1 billion. It estimates the number of mobile payment users worldwide will reach 245.2 million in 2013, up from 200.8 million in 2012.
"We expect global mobile transaction volume and value to average 35% annual growth between 2012 and 2017, and we are forecasting a market worth $721 billion with more than 450 million users by 2017," said Sandy Shen, research director at Gartner.
Mobile commerce—transactions conducted via smartphones and tablets—is too important to be left to the marketing group or CMO alone. As transaction activity shifts to the mobile channel the CFO needs to get a handle on the cost and revenue aspects of the channel. "Adoption of mobile is unprecedented, surpassing even email adoption a decade ago," says Carissa Ganelli, CEO, LightningBuy, Bridgeport, CT. "More people than ever are accessing the Internet today, and it is driven mainly by mobile," she adds.
Mobile commerce is different and the mobile buyer is different. Many companies still don't realize that. They try to retrofit their conventional e-commerce website for mobile. "Sorry, the mobile experience is not the same as the desktop or laptop experience," says Ganelli. The devices are smaller but the consumer behavior as a result is dramatically different.
An IBM study found that consumers put, on average, 5.5 items in their desktop/laptop shopping cart. On their mobile devices, they put 1.2 items. This tells you that consumers use their mobile devices for serious shopping. They aren't just browsing around. They are looking for one thing and prepared to buy it right then. As a result, organizations need to rethink their e-commerce strategies in terms of stimulating conversions and maximizing revenue and profit. With mobile consumers, skip the loss-leaders and other low (or no) margin transactions and go for your best sales.
To win the mobile commerce game, companies need to think in terms of mobile behavior, notes Ganelli. For example, a large party favors retailer's typical order consists of 22 items. Forget that for mobile sales, even laptop sales average only 5.5 items per shopping cart. But thinking mobile, the retailer packaged those items into a single bundle, a Star Wars pack or a Superman pack. The mobile shopper, whose typical shopping cart contains 1.2 items, could then buy the entire package as one item.
Any transaction processing gateway can handle mobile payments these days. LightningBuy, however, offers a transparent, frictionless mobile commerce gateway to organizations wanting to ride the mobile wave without any development work on their part. All that is required is adding one line of code (a cut and paste job) for the url. For the mobile customer it's even better: no account registration, no password needed, and no long and painful checkout process. On the seller side all the transaction processing, for better or worse, remains the same. LightningBuy doesn't touch your internal processes except to transparently expedite the mobile buy.
Right now mobile commerce remains primarily a consumer phenomenon. There is no reason, notes Ganelli, that it couldn't handle B2B transactions. In that case, the bundling could prove very handy.

Read the quote below. I think it's a true statement. I know this is the way it was for me. I fell in love with music in my teens. It took me years to create music as good as the music I loved. It was worth the years of loops and failures.
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I've ever met. It's gonna take awhile. It's normal to take awhile. You've just gotta fight your way through. – Ira Glass

AUBURN HILLS -- Shortly before Bruno Mars took the stage Thursday night, July 11, at The Palace, video screen emcee Napeson Hyman III advised fans toĀ "prepare your mind" for the multiplatinum pop star.
Their bodies were what really needed to be ready, however.
Mars and his eight-piece band kept the nearly sold-out Palace crowd up on its feet and dancing for the bulk of the 90-minute Moonshine Jungle Tour show, a smartly executed, enormously entertaining, genre-hopping trip that both incorporated and deflated the typical conventions of pop extravaganza. Mars, looking (and even acting) alarmingly like Michael Jackson circa "Off The Wall," was every bit the star of the show, but he kept the music on equal footing with crack performances of songs from both his albums as well as a selection of appropriate covers.
The key was that for all the pomp -- pyrotechnics, confetti, prepared footage on a massive rear-stage video screen and exuberant gang choreography -- Mars and company were genially self-deprecating, enjoying the scale of the production without taking it too seriously. It was polished, but not to the point where it was more shine than substance. The guy -- exchanging his red Dolce & Gabbana suit for a more modest short-sleeve gold lame print -- didn't even change outfits once, in fact, which probably violates some cardinal rule of pop mega-stardom.
And as he wooed a specific female fan during "If I Knew," Mars playfully pointed to himself on the video screen by way of introduction, his wide grin letting everybody know that he knew exactly how silly the whole schtick was.
There was no trifling with the music, however, as Mars and the band -- including Detroit guitarist Phredley Brown and a three-piece horn section -- powered through the 16 songs with tight ensemble chemistry, from the majestic pop of "Moonshine" to the dramatic build of "Gorilla" and hitting rock ("Natalie," "Runaway Baby"), reggae ("Show Me," funk ("Treasure") and gospel-flavored doo-wop ("If I Knew") in between. Mars, who played guitar on several songs and drums at the start of the encore, segued Barrett Strong's Motown hit "Money (That's What I Want)" into Travie McCoy's "Billionaire" (which Mars sang on in 2010)Ā also covered Ginuwine's "Pony" and B.o.B.'s "Nothin' On You."
An emotive "When I Was Your Man," meanwhile, stripped things down to just Mars and a couple of keyboards, while "Grenade" and "Locked Out of Heaven" were both arranged as a powerhouse opuses filled with dynamic ebbs and flows. It was certainly a treat for the body -- and for the mind -- but fans' ears were the greatest beneficiary of this night's Mars landing.

Otero County Narcotics Enforcement Unit agents arrested a Tularosa man with 2.2 pounds of marijuana and 13.6 grams of heroin after Tularosa police responded to a burglar alarm at the man's home on Oct. 4, Sheriff Benny House said.
The man also had 13 marijuana plants growing at his house.
House said Zeke Duran is charged with trafficking a controlled substance (heroin), possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and civil possession of forfeitable property ($5,435 in cash).
Duran was jailed at the Otero County Detention Center in lieu of a $56,000 no-ten percent bond pending his appearance in court.
House said Otero County Narcotics Enforcement Unit agents received a call from the Tularosa Police Department requesting assistance in obtaining a search warrant on Duran's residence, 104 Padilla Lane, around 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 4.
He said Tularosa officers responded to the residence on a burglar alarm call at Duran's residence then observed numerous marijuana plants in plain view while at the residence in reference to the alarm call.
House said OCNEU agents obtained a search warrant for Duran's residence then agents assisted Tularosa officers with the search of the home.
He said narcotics agents and Tularosa officers located 13 marijuana plants, paraphernalia associated with the plants, 2.2 pounds of packaged marijuana, over 13 grams of heroin, digital scales and $5,435 in U.S. currency.
House said narcotics agents seized the drugs, paraphernalia and cash while assisting Tularosa officers in the execution of the search warrant.
He said the currency seized will be held until the civil forfeiture case is resolved through court proceedings.
House said if the court rules that the forfeiture or cash is to be turned over to the Otero County Narcotics Enforcement Unit then the $5,434 will go to the Tularosa Police Department.
He said Duran was arrested at his home on Friday.
"Duran was not charged at the time of the search warrant because of the ongoing investigation of Duran," House said. "Duran's vehicle was at the residence but Duran was not present at his home on Oct. 4."
House said narcotics agents and Tularosa officers also found numerous unidentified prescription pills at the residence on Oct. 4. \
He said agents and Tularosa officers are waiting for test results on the pills to come back from the laboratory.
"The Tularosa officers who responded to the initial alarm call did some good police work on this case," House said. "They smelled the odor of marijuana coming form the house then observed the marijuana plants in plain sight. They seized the house then called for assistance from OCNEU agents to obtain a search warrant."

The annual event at Ripley's Cedar Lakes marks its 50th year Thursday through Sunday. Chip Ellis Children play while adults search for treasures at the 2007 West Virginia Art and Craft Fair. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- They sewed quilts, working tirelessly to help their families stay warm and comfortable.They fired pottery, baking and glazing the pots, bowls, oil lamps and vases that would pass, parent to child, through households.They carved what they needed -- chairs, tables, bookshelves, workbenches -- and molded glass for what they wanted -- a chance for their work to be recognized by the rest of the world.West Virginians have a rich history of art and craft making as part of the state's culture; that's why, 50 years ago, the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair was created as a way for local artisans to showcase their talents and their Appalachian heritage."One of the greatest precipitators was that it was our centennial year," said Donald Page, an 82-year-old furniture maker, woodturner and artisan who has been involved with the fair since its creation. "Throughout the state, there was this feeling; this idea to present who we were, where we come from and where we were going."The fair, which was originally planned as a one-time event to celebrate the state's centennial, is celebrating its 50th anniversary thing year. More than 170 artisans and craftsmakers will participate in the fair, held Thursday through Saturday at Cedar Lakes Conference Center in Ripley.Page, who began making crafts for extra money since he was a boy living in a coal camp in Southern West Virginia, said the art and craft movement in West Virginia is something that grew out of necessity and remains vibrant today."As a young boy, we weren't poor until we were told we were poor," Page said. "I've always made things to make extra money -- little stools, tables, corner shelves, things for the girls, toys for the boys. I've been doing it since I was 9 years old, as a way to have extra income growing up in a coal community."The first fair had 54 artisans; at its peak, the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair had more than 300 artisans and 75,000 visitors over a five-day period. Started by the Department of Commerce and other government agencies as a way to promote the state's artists and craftsmen, the event has evolved over the years to include educational opportunities for youth, according to Bob Wines, vice president of marketing and promotion for the fair. "The Department of Education has its own interactive education tent, and there are about a dozen folks in their who are demonstrating and allowing kids, and adults, to make items -- to make a corn broom or a piece of stained glass -- and take it home with them," Wines said. "The fair really has really changed its focus over the years; its really about education now, and preserving the heritage of the state."Page, who continues to promote the art and craft legacy of the state, said other states have visited the fair in the past in order to use it as a model for their own initiatives, and he is hopeful that the fair will continue to stand as a testament to the work West Virginians are capable of."We found that West Virginians were people who liked to create things, so we said it to the world; we went promoting tourism from Canada to Miami, to Chicago and St. Louis over to Washington and New York, saying 'come to West Virginia,'" he said. "West Virginia has been a good place to emulate, because our people have heart."The three-day event will include a Civil War reenactment encampment, kite-making and stunt kite flying for children, and a NASA small rocket building and launch exhibit on opening day. A youth fishing derby will be held Friday, and the Firecracker Chili Cookoff will be held Saturday.The fair will also host several local and regional musicians, including the Davisson Brothers, who will headline Friday's festivities. The fair includes demonstrations from interactive artisans who will instruct people in basket weaving, broom making, stained glass and other projects participants will be allowed to take home with them.Page, who has worked with the state and with other artisans for more than 60 years, said his experience with the state has taught he him how much West Virginia has to offer - places like the Tamarack, the Wheeling Artisan Center and the Mountain Made Foundation, and people who fuel the Appalachian craft heritage year-round. "We have some unique people in West Virginia," Page said. "It takes years to learn some of these professions and these crafts; some of them have had a lifetime of experience with it. They didn't just start cropping up -- they were already here."For more information on the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair, visit www.msacf.com or call 1-800-CALLWVA.Reach Lydia Nuzum at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5100.

Why Halliburton Could Catch a Bounce
The first two post-election trading days have not been kind to investors, as the markets have sold off 3% to 4% across the board. Energy and energy-services stocks have taken slightly bigger hits on concerns about increasing regulations as well as a falling oil price. I believe the first part of these worries is somewhat overblown, and I would look for oil prices to stabilize in the coming weeks as well. The simple fact is that President Obama needs the energy sector to succeed if he is going to get any traction in improving the anemic rate of job growth that persisted throughout his first term.
About one out of every five jobs created since the bottom of the financial crisis has been in the oil and gas sector, on the back of a robust production boom over the past eight years or so. These are good jobs, and outside of a few additional government bureaucrats and regulators, these are among the few high-paying positions that have been created over the past five years....310 more words left in this article.

Islamists target John for promoting 'vice'
MALAYSIA'S Islamic party was to take to the streets to protest against an Elton John concert on the ground that performances by gay stars might ''drag [Muslims] into vice''.
The protest was planned for Saturday, World AIDS Day, two days after the singer's concert in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, which protest organisers failed to have banned.
The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party said it had submitted a memorandum to the government to bar John, pictured, performing but would take to the streets to register its disapproval instead.
''Whatever it takes, we will not let up on our dakwah [propaganda] work and will continually remind all Muslims, particularly youths, not to get involved in matters that can drag them into vice,'' the PAS youth chief, Nasrudin Hassan Tantawi, told The Malaysian Times.
John has been in a civil partnership with David Furnish since 2005. They have one son, born to a surrogate mother, who is reportedly pregnant with a second.
Homosexuality is punishable by caning and up to 20 years' jail in Malaysia. But the planned protest has been met largely with derision.
Similar protests against John's first performance in Malaysia last year went unheeded, with a sold-out crowd at the same venue. However, Lady Gaga's performance last year was cancelled after authorities said her single Born This Way promoted homosexuality.
The Malaysian government, headed by Najib Razak, has come under fire over gay rights. In September the government held seminars for parents and teachers on how to spot ''signs of homosexuality'' in children. Last week Mr Najib's wife, Rosmah Mansor, caused outrage when she seemed to blame the spread of HIV and Aids on gay people.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) A group in Newtown, Conn., is launching an initiative in response to last month's school shootings to prevent similar tragedies.
Sandy Hook Promise, formerly known as Newtown United, plans to announce the effort Monday at 11:00 a.m.
The group says it invited victims' families to the event. Co-founder Tim Makris has said that the group does not represent or speak for the families.
Makris says he's not sure how many families might participate.
A gunman shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14 and killed 20 first-graders and six women before committing suicide as police arrived. He also killed his mother before driving to the school and carrying out the massacre.

Chip Ellis Nitro's Hunter Ferrari has hung up his number 25 jersey and is now wearing number 22 in honor of injured teammate Sam Neff. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Playing against South Charleston amounts to a stealth game. You never quite know where the danger's coming from.The Black Eagles, top-ranked among West Virginia Class AAA teams, have overwhelmed opponents so far, winning 13 of 14 games with an approach that leans heavily on team defense and less on individual offensive heroics.SC sports just one player with a double-figure scoring average - sophomore forward A.D. Cunningham (15.7 points per game) - but never lacks a supporting cast.Eight different Black Eagles have reached double figures in scoring in at least one game so far this season - Cunningham (high of 30 points), Devyn Harris (21), Rashaud Kincaid (17), Hunter Moles (17), Brandon Knapper (16), Neal Brown (13), Trevond Reese (12) and Tre Clark (10).Someone's always filling it up for SC - which has received 33 double-figure scoring efforts in 14 contests - but it varies from game to game because with the Black Eagles' trademark pressure defense forcing turnovers and runouts the other way, it might be any of 10 players doing the damage."It could be anybody's night any night,'' said Harris, who knocked in 20 points in Tuesday's 66-46 win at No. 7 Huntington, draining five 3-pointers."We're a team. We share the ball a lot, and coach envies that. He talks about it all the time - how much we share the ball.''Cunningham has reached double figures in 10 of 13 games, but if he's having an off night, it's little worry. In fact, in SC's five games against state AAA teams that have been ranked this season (Princeton, George Washington, Huntington, Hurricane and Woodrow Wilson), Cunningham has scored only 40 points. Harris said SC's players don't care who the hero turns out to be from one night to the next."No, we're a family,'' he said, "That's the most important thing with our team. We've got a lot of seniors and we've grown up playing together all our lives. All we talk about is family. So we're going to do our best to keep striving for a state championship.''Making South Charleston's lend-a-hand approach all the most impressive is the fact that it lost a potential all-state player last fall - junior guard and two-year starter Jon Elmore now attends Christ School in Arden, N.C. - and another possible starter, Cai Carena, transferred to George Washington.Favor for a friendNitro's Hunter Ferrari can't be out there on the playing floor alongside his best friend and senior teammate, Sam Neff, who on Jan. 15 suffered a season-ending knee injury in a game at Woodrow Wilson. So Ferrari has done the next-best thing. He's adopted Neff's jersey number as his own.Ferrari, who wore his-beloved No. 25 throughout his four years in the Wildcats' program, switched to Neff's No. 22 for the rest of the season. He's now sported the number twice in games. It's a decision Ferrari didn't come by lightly.Neff played the team's first four games, scoring 20 points against Poca and 21 against Point Pleasant, but then was sidelined with mononucleosis. After missing six games, Neff returned against Woodrow but sustained a torn ACL early in that game and was lost for the rest of the season.Ferrari felt he needed to pay tribute to his fallen teammate and friend in an appropriate way, and was permitted by coach Bryan Faber to wear Neff's uniform."Me and him first played basketball together in the second grade,'' Ferrari said, "and we've been teammates ever since. Really, in the past two summers, we've put in a lot of work outside the program and worked hard for this year."To have him play only a couple games like he did . . . I just thought he'd worked hard to be here and play for us, so I just thought I would dedicate the rest of the season and play for him. I know all the hard work he put in to try and make us better. I know it's killing him not being able to play.''Ferrari and the Wildcats (7-7) are seeking to post the school's first winning record since 2007-08. Last year they finished 12-12 and currently with seven wins, they've already eclipsed their victory total from the three seasons previous to that. But it hasn't been easy. Because of Neff's illness and injury and two missed games by freshman Trevor Taylor (11.3 points per game), Faber's projected starting five wound up playing just three games together this season."We've certainly had to change things,'' Faber said. "Where a lot of the things we had planned on doing as a team, well, we've had to go in a little bit of a different direction because of injuries and illnesses and different issues like that.''Fast breaksChapmanville (8-5) has been a team built for all speeds this season. The Tigers have won games when their final point total has been in the 90s (once), 80s (once), 70s (once), 60s (twice), 50s (twice) and 40s (once).Because of defections and academics, Capital's roster has been a revolving door this season. A total of 20 players have appeared in varsity games and scored points for the Cougars.Times are tight: Eight of Winfield's 13 games have been decided by seven points or fewer, with the Generals going 3-5 in those games.Valley's overall play has been sharp, but not its team free-throw shooting. The Greyhounds are 87 of 184 at the line for a mere 47.3 percent.Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Metallurg Vanadium Corporation/Muskingum College Engineering Scholarship awarded to John Glenn High School's Emily Hollowniczky
The Metallurg Vanadium Corporation/Muskingum College Engineering Scholarship for the 2008-2009 academic year has been awarded to Emily Hollowniczky, a John Glenn High School senior. The daughter of Michael and Rhonda Hollowniczky of New Concord, Emily will enter Muskingum College this fall, where she plans to study engineering science.
Emily's honors in high school include being in the top ten percent of her class at John Glenn, participation in the Orchestra and String Sounds, membership in the Fellowship of Christian Students, the Business Club and the Ambassador Club, and work as statistician for the boys' soccer and wrestling teams. She also works part-time at Animal Clinic of Cambridge, where she started as a volunteer.
The scholarship was created by Metallurg Vanadium Corporation (MVC) to help a student from an area high school study engineering science at Muskingum. Valued at $1,000 per year, it is available to students graduating from Buckeye Trail, Cambridge, John Glenn or Meadowbrook high schools. In addition to financial support, MVC will provide opportunities for the scholarship recipients to gain practical experience through internships with the company.
The engineering science program at Muskingum combines a broad foundation in engineering, mathematics, science and liberal arts with practical experience in designing, implementing and reporting on real-world projects. Students in the program typically take coursework in chemistry, computational science, electrical engineering, engineering design, material science, mathematics, mechanical engineering and physics.
MVC and the college believe that this scholarship supports the economic vitality of the region and addresses the need to develop future scientists and engineers. It is also hoped that this support will encourage talented local students to not only study at Muskingum, but remain in the region to consider their career opportunities after college.

Penner, Cornelius H. (1911-2000)
Penner's education included a year at Herbert Bible School, a year at Saskatoon Normal School, as well as continuing university courses through evening classes, correspondence courses and summer schools from the University of Saskatchewan. On 14 August 1938 he married Luise Wiens, another school teacher, in Saskatoon, SK. During the 60 years of their marriage, they raised their eight children and enjoyed thirteen grandchildren.
After eight years of teaching in one-room prairie schools and five years with the Civil Service in Regina, Cornelius H. Penner began his life's work in the berry and frozen foods industry in BC IN 1946. His thirty years in the processing industry included Yarrow Growers Co-operative Union in Yarrow, Clearbrook Frozen Foods in Clearbrook, BC , and York Farms in Sardis, BC. He was a member of the Western Food Processors Association for twenty-five years, serving as its president for two. Upon mandatory retirement at age 65, he became the manager for the BC Raspberry Growers Association, shepherding the industry into a new era of marketing and lobbying for market share. Upon his second "retirement" ten years later, Cornelius continued to contribute his lifetime of expertise by volunteering with the Canadian Executive Services Organization. He and Luise made four trips to Peru and Bolivia, South America initiating new processing facilities, training staff and preparing feasibility studies for producers there. He finally retired at age 79.
Cornelius H. Penner was also always keen to serve his community. He served on the Yarrow Water Board for twenty-one years and the Chilliwack Hospital Board for ten years. In August of 1988 he was awarded the honour of "Freeman of Matsqui" for his contributions to that community.
Cornelius Penner taught Adult Sunday School for thirty-four years at Grace Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Church (now Grace Evangelical Bible Church) in Abbotsford, BC. He also served as church moderator, treasurer and auditor at various times during those years. He represented the church on the MCC executive for six years. He also served on the executive of the Evangelical Mennonite Brethren conference (now Fellowship of Evangelical Bible Churches) (FEBritish Columbia, Canada) for eighteen years (1956-1968, 1975-1982) and on the Canadian Board of Directors for the same conference (FEBritish Columbia, Canada) from 1972-1982.
Cornelius Penner died 7 February 2000, fifteen months after the death of his wife, in Abbotsford, BC.
