Topic: Drug Alluding Spheres
My husband is being scheduled for this procedure instead of regular chemoembollization and I wondered if anyone on this site has any experience with it? It seems to be the same kind of procedure as a previous post for Theraspheres except these spheres ( administered throught the catheter) will carry chemo instead of radiation. This will choke of the blood supply and administer a leakage of chemo ( Doxicerbin sp?) that will not affect the rest of his system so much as systemic. He has a right lobe tumor of 11.5 cm and 2 tumors of 3cm on left lobe. He just finished 2 cycles of Gemzar and Xeloda and is presently having issues with fatigue, fevers lack of energy, appetite. His numbers are good though and liver function is Ok despite a portal thrombosis. Hopefully by next week he will feel stronger as there will be some backlash from the procedure. Anyone who has had it -would appreciate their experience with it. Many thanks, Michele

Kylie Akiyama is a sixth-grader at Gardner Bullis School in Los Altos Hills. Kylie's teacher, Niki Mitchell, submitted the following sample of Kylie's work.
Recently I read a short story, written by Ray Bradbury, titled "All Summer in a Day." This short story began when a young, depressed girl named Margot and the rest of her class sat, staring out of their classroom window, waiting for the sun to come out after seven years of severe and crushing rain.
Margot warmly remembers the sun from five years ago on earth, but a jealous classmate shoves and taunts her while the rest of the class stands by, watching. In the spur of the moment, they all pick her up and shove her into a closet, just as the deafening rain stops, and the sun shines once more on Venus. The students play outside in the sunshine for two hours without a thought toward Margot, until it starts raining again and they suddenly remember her in the closet, missing out on a one-in-a-seven-years' chance because of their cruelty. In the end, they let Margot out, all of them ashamed and not able to make eye contact with one another.
I think that there should not be such a thing as bullying, and that there should be more upstanders to defy the bullies of this world.
The terms "upstander," "bystander" and "bully" are used to describe the positions of the people when an occasion like a fight happens.
The upstanders are the people who stand up for someone being bullied. An upstander could defend the person in a conversation or somehow prevent a fight about to happen.
The bystanders are the people who watch as the bullying unfolds. Bystanders don't intervene – unlike an upstander, they don't even try to get help from a person of authority like teachers and adults.
Bullies are the people who usually start the fight and do the physical or mental bullying. Bullies can physically hurt someone or taunt and tease them. More often with girls, the bullying they do is mental. Boys are usually more physical, while girls talk behind others' backs and judge others based on looks and clothes.
In "All Summer in a Day," there are many instances of obvious bullying. For example, near the beginning of the story, William, the main bully, tells Margot: "Speak when you're spoken to." William then rudely shoves her. In that instance, an upstander could have told William that Margot didn't need to talk to him, or that he was being mean. Plus, the bully accused Margot of lying about the sun coming out, saying, "It was all a joke, wasn't it? Nothing's happening today. Is it?"
As he taunts her, the other students are being bystanders and reply to him by laughing and shaking their heads, but not intervening. At this point, an upstander could have stepped up and said he/she believed what Margot said. William continues bullying because no one is standing up for Margot.
William says, "All a joke!" After roughly taking hold of her, he says, "Hey, everyone, let's put her in a closet before the teacher comes!" An upstander would have stepped in between William and Margot before he had a chance to pick her up.
Another choice for an upstander would be to go and get the teacher so that she could stop the boy from throwing Margot into the closet. After they lock her in a closet, the teacher comes back and asks if everyone is there. The class says "yes" and walks out into the sunlight. If an upstander did not want to get involved when they put Margot in the closet because he or she were scared of being harmed, then he or she could say to the teacher that the rest of the class pushed her into the closet. This way, an upstander would not be in any physical danger but would still notify the teacher about the bullying.
I think that bullies everywhere should realize that what they are doing is wrong. I believe that bullying is horrible and cruel, and everyone should have someone to stand up for them.

Lupus and Your Kidneys
Having lupus increases the chances that you'll develop problems with your kidneys—the organ duo that takes out waste and extra water from the blood and helps to control blood pressure, among many other things.
Dr. Suzanne El-Sayegh described how the kidneys work, and what you can do to keep them in the best shape possible. There's nothing to lose—and possibly a lot to gain!

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z
Some words of wisdom…
The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003

The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost.

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

MINNEAPOLIS Best Buy has announced it plans to bring a location-based retail experiment, using the "shopkick" mobile application rewards system, to 257 U.S. stores by Oct. 1.
Beginning Aug. 17, shoppers can download the free shopkick application to their smart phone. Customers who have the app open when they enter a participating Best Buy store with shopkick signal technology installed will receive instant rewards, or "kickbucks," that can be redeemed in the store or converted into Best Buy certificates through a user's shopkick account.
Additionally, Best Buy said it has integrated shopkick directly into its point of sale system to streamline the redemption of special in-store offers and/or added bonuses for scanning barcodes of specific products, all of which will be sent to the user's phone. Customers may walk up to the cashier, provide the mobile phone number connected to their shopkick account, and any applicable personalized discounts immediately appear on their receipt.
"We think consumers have more opportunities than ever to bridge their digital and physical shopping experiences, particularly through smart phones and mobile technology," said Matthew Smith, VP marketing services, Best Buy.

Teenager was shot and killed near 2nd and Orange streets
At 10:41 p.m. on Thursday, Joshua Todd Proutey, a 19-year-old community college student, clocked out of work at the Hannah Block Community Arts Center in Downtown Wilmington. Twenty-four minutes later, Proutey's lifeless body lay between two cars in the gravel parking lot outside.
He had been shot.
What happened in that 24-minute span is now the focus of a homicide investigation, with police detectives trying to home in on those responsible for downtown's first killing in nearly two years.
"I would say it was a random act of violence," said Lt. Tom Witkowski, whose violent crimes detectives are leading the investigation. He added that robbery appeared to be a motive and that police were likely looking for more than one culprit.
The late-night shooting came as especially shocking to many because of where it took place: Near the corner of Second and Orange streets, in a community center parking lot flanked on two sides by vintage hotels and only steps from a corridor of upscale historic homes.
"It doesn't make any sense to me," said Mavis Schlichtmann, 51, who volunteers and has taught classes at the community center. "If I look at downtown, there are certain areas I consider safer than others. I consider that to be a safer zone."
Few details about the shooting emerged on Friday.
Detectives headed to Jacksonville that afternoon to observe Proutey's autopsy while colleagues stayed behind to canvass the neighborhood, undoubtedly hoping that someone saw something that could help lead them to a suspect.
Attempts to contact Proutey's family were unsuccessful. A full-time student at Cape Fear Community College, Proutey worked as the night manager at the community center at 120 S. Second Street. People who frequent the building recalled having brief encounters with the teenager at the front desk, where he signed people in, answered phones and sold tickets, they said.
His killing both saddened and unnerved them.
"It's been a real punch in the stomach for people," said Lydia Love, 70.
Many said the killing shattered their already fragile sense of security, a major setback in efforts by Wilmington to change public perceptions about safety downtown. Some thought the city, which owns the parking lot where the shooting occurred, should install better lighting or increase police patrols in that area.
The city issued a statement Friday acknowledging what it called "the tragic and unfortunate loss of life of the young man." But noted that violent crime in downtown's Central Business District, where the collection of bars, restaurants and other businesses is at its densest, is on pace to drop to its lowest level in a decade. Between 2010 and 2011, violent crime fell 32 percent, and has decreased even further – 11 percent – so far this year.
"While the details of last night's fatal shooting are being investigated, it is important to note the significant efforts that have been, and are being made by public safety personnel to increase safety downtown," the city's statement read.
The last murder in the Central Business District happened outside a now-defunct nightclub on Market Street, where a fight in January 2011 that started inside spilled into the street and ended with 19-year-old Taaron Quintel Jones being fatally stabbed.
"We come so far in discussing violent crimes downtown that when something like this happens, it's really tragic and everybody is really upset," said John Hinnant, president of Wilmington Downtown Inc. "They want to know what's being done. And all I can do is assure them that the police are working really hard and it appears to be a random thing."

Insights from Advertisers Who Have Embraced Media Audits
May 8, 2012
Executive Summary
According to a recent survey by the Media Audit Council, 85% of respondents said they are conducting or have conducted audits in the past. Three years ago, it was half that number. Common objectives for conducting audits include:
- Improving the effectiveness of media investments
- Indicating the relative value of media buys vs. industry norms
- Improving processes for planning, buying, and evaluating media
- Demonstrating ROI on media dollars invested
Despite the growing popularity revealed by these survey results, the field of media auditing is under developed in the United States and misunderstood by many marketers. There are various types of media audits and each involves a wide variety of approaches, results, and benefits. In this session, marketers from Bayer Healthcare, Old Navy, and Pfizer discussed why they initiated media audits, how organizational challenges were addressed, and the value received from the outputs.

Major League Lacrosse today announced that Charlotte Hounds attack Mike Sawyer along with Rochester Rattlers midfielder John Ranagan have been added to the roster for the 2013 MLL All-Star Game presented by Moe's Southwest Grill. The rookies will be replacing midfielders Paul Rabil of the Boston Cannons and Kyle Dixon of the Chesapeake Bayhawks who are unavailable due to injury. However, Rabil will still participate in the All-Star festivities and be on hand to greet fans and sign autographs.
"As a replacement player I felt sorry for the injury that had taken place in front of me," said Sawyer. "But I also realize what an honor this is because of the amount of talent in this league." Sawyer, a Charlotte-area native, was drafted by the Hounds with their first selection (8th overall) in the 2013 MLL Collegiate Draft. In seven games this season, the attackman has tallied nine goals and added four assists. He earned Cascade Rookie of the Week honors following his MLL debut on May 17, when he recorded three points (1g, 2a) in a loss to the Hamilton Nationals.
"I'm excited for the opportunity to participate in the game, especially because it is in my hometown," said Sawyer. "I think it's even more of a privilege to play in front of friends and family and our hometown Hounds fans. I'm also hoping to get into the hardest shot contest to see what I can put up." Sawyer joins Hounds teammates
Ryan Flanagan,
Peet Poillon,
Brett Schmidt and
Ryan Young as 2013 MLL All-Stars.
Meanwhile, Ranagan has recorded 12 goals in six games for the Rattlers this season. He joins teammates Ned Crotty,
Jordan MacIntosh,
Mike Manley and
Matt Striebel on the All-Star roster.
The 2013 MLL All-Star Game presented by Moe's Southwest Grill takes place on Saturday, July 13 at American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte. The action begins at 7:00pm and will be broadcast live on ESPN2. Tickets are still available through Ticketmaster on the

Despite complaints from residents of Novato's Los Robles Mobile Home Park, a two-track rail alignment will remain near their homes as construction of a Marin-to-Sonoma commuter rail line continues.
Novato Councilman Eric Lucan, a Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit board member, met with residents this week over issues related to the rail project which passes close to Los Robles.
Lucan told residents that SMART would be unable to move a double-track rail — needed so trains can pass — that would cross Roblar Drive, the sole means of entry and exit to the park for the 275 people living there.
"It's just not feasible to make a move at this stage," Lucan said, adding that he told residents at the Wednesday meeting that two trains would never be outside the mobile home park at the same time. The second track only begins near the mobile home park, but the actually passing of two trains will occur farther away.
"It will occur much farther north near Bel Marin Keys," he said.
Residents hoped the set of two tracks would be eliminated from the area near their homes.
"But the answer was that it was a done deal," said Los Robles resident Eileen Plunkett. "There are a lot of unhappy people."
At the meeting Lucan also addressed a second issue involving the felling of trees along the perimeter of the mobile home park, which has compromised privacy for some residents.
Contractors Stacy Witbeck/Herzog cut down the large Monterey pine trees Jan. 31 to improve access as construction continues. But residents of the park, near the Hamilton Marketplace shopping center, weren't notified in advance.
Lucan reported the contractor is offering $10,000 of its own money to the mobile home park to plant trees and shrubs along the park's border. In addition, it will look at modifying a fence around Los Robles.
How the work is done is being discussed by SMART, the contractor, residents and the Los Robles property managers, Lucan said. The first phase of the $360 million commuter rail line is set to open in late 2015 or early 2016.

The Bank of Montreal got a surprise security breach earlier this week in the form of two 14-year-old kids.
The Canadian ninth graders found an old ATM manual online and decided to use their lunch break at school to see if they could hack into an ATM, according to a story in the Winnipeg Sun.
Short answer: yes.
The teens apparently were able to get into operator mode and easily guess the password. They showed branch employees, even changing the greeting on the ATM to "Go away. This ATM has been hacked," according to the Sun.
The bank has said it is working on security upgrades in light of the hack.
Hacking ATMs
Banks and other ATM owners have to be on the constant lookout for those trying to hack their money machines.
For instance, in April, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council issued a notice warning about the "Unlimited Operations" scam where hackers get around caps set on ATMs.
The agency's statement said one such attack was able to net more than $40 million, using just 12 debit-card accounts.
Other security threats more concerning
But hacking attacks are often not the biggest concern facing ATM operators, says David Tente, executive director of the ATM Industry Association.
Indeed, a recent survey of ATMIA members showed that skimming attacks and "ram raids" -- where an ATM is ripped out of the wall so thieves can get to the cash -- were considered higher security threats than cybersecurity attacks.
Tente says hacking an ATM "is not an easy kind of fraud," which is why other forms of stealing money are more common. The ATMIA survey found that both burglaries of customers at ATMs and "gas and explosive attacks" were just about as worrisome as cyberattacks.
Tente says there's actually been an increase in gas and explosive attacks of ATMs in the past year. He also says that "cash trapping" -- where a fraudster uses a device to make cash get stuck inside the device in the ATM and then the fraudster later removes the device and the cash -- continues to be an issue.
"They get creative," he says of fraudsters and thieves. "The fraudsters are always trying to stay a step ahead. There's lots of ways they do things."
Updating systems
Still, Tente says operators need to make sure ATM security is kept up to date and that includes the struggle to update ATMs' operating systems from Windows XP.
Meanwhile, Tente says ATMs will soon have to upgrade to be able to handle EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) cards, but he suspects the ATM industry has a little breathing room before it has to start tackling that in earnest.

Jazz get:
Danny Granger 2 years, $27.1M
Tyler Hansborough 1 year, $3.1M
Pacers get:
Paul Milsap 1 year, $8.6M
Marvin Williams 2 years, $15.8M
I don't know how much sense this makes for us, but I think it would solve our issues over going to get a new PF. I like a lot of the PFs on the market this off-season, but we don't have the flexibility to go get one anyway if we want to go away from West. I am all for keeping West for a couple more years, but it may not be the optimal move. Milsap is a beast and has the flexibility to play PF or SF. I would think a front court of Milsap, West and Hibbert would be as tough as any in the league. The Jazz take on $6.5M more next year, but they have a ton of cap space. Granger is the best player in the deal, IMO. The Jazz can then focus on resigning Jefferson to go with Kanter and Favors. Hansborough could be a good rotational big for them as well. Adding beef and the Jazz bigs all can spend time at C, so he fits on the court with any of the other three. Williams comes in as a solid wing defender if we want to maintain a bigger lineup. I know Granger is injured, but this trade could happen closer to the deadline where the Jazz could get something substantial for Milsap.

I don't mean to be a troll or anything like that and I haven't really looked at the how the Perl 6 syntax has evolved over the years.
So, out of curiosity I decided to take a look at the commit and I was bewildered by code such as:
%*pads{$*current-block} = {};
for $ -> $statement {
self.find-vars($statement, 'statement');
I mean, I can see the point in Perl 5 sigils. They're not pretty, but they're acceptable and they didn't bother me in these almost 10 years I've been programming in Perl.
Thank you for writing your comment. You're fears of being a troll are quite unfounded. You're quite frank, and your intention is clearly not to cause ire but to air your own distress. Let me try to help allay it.
It's nice to be the one putting some Perl 6 code in the way of a Perl 5 programmer with ten years of experience. I'm not surprised that your first reaction to twigils is one of slight... unease. Perl 6 syntax is different, and not just in minor details.
Things look like line noise when you don't know
I think I understand the motivation behind the twigils. In other programming languages you can't immediately tell if a variable name is a local variable or an object attribute, for instance.
And while I can't think of a better solution, twigils just don't seem to be the best solution to me. Maybe always requiring the object to be explicit is a better solution (e.g. $self.attribute). But then you'll hit me with a TIMTOWTDI hammer since that probably also works.
I don't agree that "line-noise appearance" com
I can assure that if Perl 5 people thinks the syntax is a little awkward... well, the rest of the world will find it, at least, *very* awkward.
I can imagine that idiomatic Perl 6 is difficult for people to understand if they've never learned any Perl 6. I care more about how easy a language is to learn and to use once you've learned it than how difficult it is to guess at meanings if you don't know how to lex it. I don't mean to sound harsh, but the metric of "intuitive to the uninitiated" is irrelevant
I agree that the "intuitive to the uninitiated" metric shouldn't be considered a major thing (although, I think it is desirable if it doesn't get into the way of other features).
To be honest, I'm just worried that typing all these "shift characters" everywhere will make programming in Perl 6 actually a tiring experience which results in a bad aesthetic result. I mean, pre-"syntax sugar revolution" Perl 5 was already at the limit for me.
I understand that concern, especially for people with keyboard layouts where typing symbols is more difficult than shift-eight, for example. I don't have a good solution for that. Certainly I'll never argue in favor of Perl 5 reference syntax.

Armchair pundits, present company included, will continue to analyze the long term impact of the initial poor performance of the long anticipated Facebook IPO.
You will hear how it has further eroded confidence in Wall Street and American style capitalism, which it has.
The Facebook IPO only reaffirms what many smart, wealthy and Main Street investors already know: not to trust the suits!
They know whether it's from JP Morgan's 3 billion dollar loss, the mortgage securitization fraud, NASDAQ's inability to process orders of Facebook stock, or just an uneven playing field, Wall Street is no place to try and earn 7 or 8 percent a year on their money.
In fact New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is suggesting that pension funds come down to earth and stop trying to reach such lofty unsustainable returns.
However, I am seeing a quiet revolution of investing by foreigners and Americans who never for one moment trusted the bankers who sold risky mortgage bonds like they were prime steaks when they were really renderings being sold to soap makers.
These investors, many of whom have been at it for thirty years, are buying something that is tangible, that is real, that they can touch and no, I am not talking about gold that has limited extrinsic value other than for making jewelry, stashing it in the ground or in secret vaults in Switzerland.
You guessed it, I am talking about buying good old fashioned REAL estate. The word "real" is in capital letters for a reason.
Because it is tangible, unlike a piece of paper that allows you to break even if a company earns 100 times its current earnings (like Facebook).

More than 400 Vallejo students reached English proficiency this year -- a fact celebrated Friday by the Vallejo City Unified School District.
"Thank you for everything you did to prepare for this year," said Steffan Manor Elementary School Principal Lucius McKelvy as he handed his students certificates marking their achievement.
Last year, there were more than 2,300 English language learners in the district, or about 15.6 percent of total enrollment, according to the state Department of Education.
The state requires those students to take an English skills test called the California English Language Development Test, or CELDT, in which students are placed into five different categories ranging from "beginning" to "advanced."
To be reclassified as fluent in English, students must score in the fourth level or higher on the CELDT as well as score "basic" on California standardized tests.
On Friday, the district recognized the students who achieved this status by hosting an awards ceremony and reception. Principals called up their students, who took their certificates and shook hands with various district dignitaries.
Among them was Vallejo school board member Tony Ubalde, himself a former English language learner (Tagalog is his native language). Ubalde praised the work of the students, as well as the program in general -- a program he did not have growing up.
"You know how I knew I was proficient in English? It's when I started dreaming in English," Ubalde said.
His comments were translated by Cave Language Academy Principal Lorena Hernandez, who served as the event's emcee.
Students from Cave's Bailes Folclóricos program also entertained the crowd with dances.

Over the last two decades, the number of cows that die on-farm has continually increased. A survey in 1988 showed a mortality rate of 1.8 percent. The 2007 National Animal Health Monitoring System Dairy Study indicates a mortality rate of 5.7 percent for adult cows. This is more than a 300 percent increase in 20 years. In some states, adult cow mortality exceeds 10 percent per year.
The increase could be attributed to new diseases, genetics, nutrition, environment or management. To learn the true cause of death, a necropsy or autopsy must be performed. Research at Colorado State University indicates that the cause of death is misdiagnosed more than 50 percent of the time. "When we know the real reason cows are dying, we can start reversing the trend," says Frank Garry, professor of veterinary medicine at Colorado State University.
Every dead animal has a story to tell, but the story cannot be told unless a necropsy is performed.
What went wrong?
It can be argued that time is better spent with live animals than dead animals, and disposing of carcasses after a necropsy can be a challenge. Yet, necropsies provide a level of insight into a herd's health that cannot be gained anywhere else.
"If producers don't know what really went wrong, they are just shooting in the dark. Did your treatment plan fail or were you treating the wrong disease?" asks Garry.
"We are fooling ourselves if we think we know why all cattle die. If you record a reason for death in your records without doing a necropsy, you are recording an educated guess at best," says Angela Daniels, veterinarian at Circle H Animal Health in Dalhart, Texas.
How often are the right guesses made? The answer is less than 50 percent of the time. "Our practice held necropsy-training with a group of herd managers. They were asked to analyze the cause of death prior to the necropsy. Not a single cause of death was diagnosed correctly," notes Daniels.
If incorrect assumptions are made, then the information stored in the herd's computer is flawed, which brings another problem into play. When management evaluates death loss, computer records may say: "shot," "dead," "digestive," "respiratory" or "injured." But does the term "digestive" allow you to discriminate between salmonellosis, hardware disease or acidosis? Does it tell you anything you can base accurate management decisions on?
If you are trying to make decisions on how to reduce mortality with the data you have on hand, you will reach incorrect conclusions, says Daniels.
Find answers
Ideally, every dead animal should be necropsied. But, recognizing that dairy producers and veterinarians are busy, it is more realistic to use a targeted approach.
Target cows that performed poorly or died for unknown reasons. "If you guess that the majority of cows are dying from respiratory problems, and the results from a necropsy show they are dying from something else, this would substantially change the way you treat and manage those cows," states Garry.
By targeting the necropsies, dairy producers can get a high return on their investment. Studies at Colorado State indicate that at least 50 percent of deaths could be prevented with proper management. Multiplied by the value of a replacement heifer, this is a huge economic opportunity.
Answers can be found in a short amount of time. The average necropsy takes 30 minutes to perform on adult cows, and less time for calves and heifers.
"If the information gained from a necropsy is put to use, it is an invaluable investment because you will be able to reduce your death loss," explains Garry. The key, he says, is how the information is used.
Dee Griffin, veterinarian with the Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center at the
University of Nebraska, knows first-hand the value of necropsies. "Last fall, we had several cows die from what appeared to be pneumonia. After the necropsy, we learned they were dying from ketosis. In that stage of lactation, ketosis was not something we would have considered. We brought the nutritionist in to analyze the feed, and the ration prescribed was not what arrived from the feed mill. Because of the necropsy, we were able to fix the problem within 48 hours."
La Luna Dairy, a 1,500-cow operation in Wellington, Colo., has been working with a veterinarian to perform necropsies for more than 10 years. Necropsies are performed on 90 percent of its dead animals. "Very often, we will find something unexpected and occasionally raise more questions than answers," says owner Jon Slutsky.
Necropsies have given Slutsky insight that he never had before. "We will call our veterinarian out at times we wouldn't have in the past," he says. "We also make culling and treatment decisions differently, because we have a heads-up to potential problems."
Prior to performing necropsies, death loss at La Luna Dairy was as high as 9 percent, which meant the dairy was losing 135 cows per year for unknown reasons. Since implementing necropsies into its management practices, the dairy has been able to reduce death losses to 6 percent and hopes to reach 5 percent this year.
Determining the real cause of death is important in preventing future death loss and improving the health of the herd. Necropsies allow for the fastest detection of new problems on a dairy, and they help management focus on what needs to done to reduce death loss.
What is a necropsy?
A necropsy, also called a post-mortem exam or autopsy, is an examination of a dead animal.
It is performed to obtain an accurate cause of death and, when done properly, involves looking at the animal as a whole, as well as looking at each individual organ within the body. Careful examination and sampling of organs helps determine the cause of death, whether it is by disease or trauma.
Educated guesses
More than 50 percent of cows that die are misdiagnosed. "Unless a necropsy is performed, the diagnosis made by the producer is at most an educated guess," says Angela Daniels, veterinarian at Circle H Animal Health in Dalhart, Texas.
How do I perform a necropsy?
Necropsies should be performed within 24 hours of death, and it's not always possible to have a veterinarian available on that short of notice.
But it is possible for a dairy producer or one of his or her employees to gather tissue samples for a veterinarian to evaluate. And with today's technology, employees can perform a necropsy with a veterinarian on the phone. Or, digital pictures can be taken and discussed at a later date.
"Some information is better than no information," says Garry. The key is to develop a broader group of people to perform a necropsy when a veterinarian cannot be there. As a result, the workforce will be more aware of unexplained deaths and do what it can to prevent them.
It is common practice in beef-cattle feedlots for personnel to perform necropsies and report
findings to a veterinarian.
Step-by-step tutorials on how to perform a necropsy are available online from Colorado State University and the University of Nebraska.

- No Loose Parts Necropsy Procedure for the Feedyard - Dee Griffin, University of Nebraska

Work with your rendering facility
Disposing of a carcass after a necropsy can be challenging, as most renderers don't like picking up these animals. However, the value received from a necropsy outweighs the challenges.
Dee Griffin, veterinarian with the Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center at the University of Nebraska, notes that it is possible to perform a thorough necropsy without cutting up the carcass. An intact carcass and quality hide are important to the rendering facility. From the rendering perspective, a carcass is worth $50 ($25 for the hide and $25 for meat and bone meal).
The instant an incorrect cut in the hide is made, the rendering facility loses money. A sharp knife is crucial to perform a necropsy without damaging the hide. And, carcasses should not be dragged, as this can ruin the value of the hide.
"Correct procedure should be followed so as not to make a mess of the carcass," explains Griffin. "If body parts are falling out of the carcass, it becomes inconvenient and messy for the driver to pick it up, particularly if the weather is warm."
"It is important to communicate with your rendering facility. Work together with the facility and driver so they receive value from the carcass and you receive value from the necropsy," Griffin says.
Points to remember:
Give the rendering facility a good hide
Get the carcass to the facility fresh
Communicate with the rendering facility and driver
about your plans
Treat the driver like you're glad he's there
Depending upon individual state regulations, carcasses can also be buried or composted.

Sundance Film Festival organizers are using the full force of the web and social media to let festivalgoers know what's hot and what's not at this year's event.
Here's a look at some of the added features being implemented to the festival's website and other digital initiatives.
The festival's official web portal, sundance.org/festival, includes a new feature that will let film lovers know when any movie at the event will finally land in theaters or on TV.
For the first time, Sundance has partnered with New York-based GoWatchIt, a web service for listing which movies you want to be alerted about.
When users go to the online Sundance Film Festival movie guide, each film now has a "Watch It" button. Click on that, and you can add the movie to a queue. The free GoWatchIt service will then send you a notification on your phone when that movie begins playing at a theater near you or on a movie-streaming service you subscribe to such as Netflix or Hulu.
This feature is also available on Sundance's mobile phone app. On the app, the user can shoot a picture of the movie's poster to put that movie in the GoWatchIt queue. "It's like sending yourself a reminder," said Joseph Beyer, director of digital initiatives for the Sundance Institute. "It's the latest, greatest thing that sofware and technology can let us do."
The festival website also will be updated daily by about 40 festival staffers, who will continually add blog posts, tweets, videos and photos.
The "Meet the Artists" series includes video interviews with the directors from all of the competition films including, for the first time, international filmmakers. Many of these interviews are already posted.
The site also serves as the portal to see past festival movies that can be streamed directly to your computer. At sundance.org/nowplaying, 32 films originally screened at the festival are now available for viewing for free through a Sundance initiative called "Artists Services." The program helps independent filmmakers get their projects financed and distributed through video streaming services such as YouTube.
Mobile app
Sundance organizers said they decided to pare down this year's mobile app to include the essential features, which include the film and event schedule, festival information, maps to theaters, and links to videos and Twitter feeds.
A new feature tracks the festival's shuttle buses through GPS, so festivalgoers can know how long it might take until the next bus arrives.
The app is available for free for iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store.
Social media
Sundance has eight Twitter feeds, plus the hashtag #Sundance. Go to sundance.org/updates/social-media/ to see the list.
As before, organizers are inviting guest tweeters to take over the festival's main Twitter account for a day. This year, musician Dave Grohl and documentary filmmaker Lucy Walker are scheduled to participate. More names will be announced later.
Photos can be posted to Sundance's official Instagram account by including #Sundance in the caption. Those photos and tweets can be seen on digital signage at a number of locations throughout Park City.
And for the first time, Sundance has established its own page on Pinterest at pinterest.com/sundancefest.

BUGWB alums invited back for final halftime show at Floyd Casey
The Baylor University Golden Wave Band (often referred to as "BUGWB") is an important part of the Baylor football gameday experience; can you imagine a touchdown without hearing the band kick into "Old Fight"?
With Baylor Stadium barely a year away, BUGWB alumni are being invited back to march at Floyd Casey one final time on Sept. 7. Band alumni will be featured alongside the current band in the halftime show, and BUGWB director Isaiah Odajima, MM '99, wants to make sure every alum knows about this opportunity.
Unfortunately, the band has lost touch with some of its members over the years. If you're a BUGWB alum but didn't hear about this via email last month, it's because the university doesn't have a valid address for you; please click here to update your contact information, then go here by Aug. 12 to sign up for the Sept. 7 event.
(In fact, whether you're a band alum or not, chances are good that some part of your contact information has changed in recent years — your address, phone number, email, etc. Now's a good time to doublecheck that your contact info is up to date so that you don't miss out on Baylor news and events, particularly those in your area.)
Sic 'em, BUGWB!

We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options.
Our pathologists analyze tissue samples and lymph nodes under a microscope to determine if cancer cells are present.
During a biopsy, a doctor removes a sample of tissue or fluid from the body. A pathologist inspects the cells under a microscope to see if they are cancerous.
Some biopsies are performed under image guidance, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This allows your doctor to collect cells from deeper inside the body. Depending on the type of biopsy performed, you will receive an anesthetic to reduce discomfort.
Compared with other diagnostic tests for cancer, biopsies often provide a more definitive diagnosis. A biopsy may help determine whether the cancer began at the site of the biopsy sample, or if it started somewhere else in the body and spread to the site of the biopsy sample.
Some sites that are commonly biopsied include the breast, skin, bone marrow, GI tract, lung, liver, bladder, colon and lymph nodes. Our doctors determine the most appropriate method of biopsy based on several factors, such as the size, shape, location, and characteristics of the abnormality.

I used to have a cannon camera that I purchased in Jacksonville that lasted me 2-3 years and it took amazing pictures.
I got a new camera last year for X-Mas (cannon sd 960 IS) hoping to have it last just as long, if not longer. I mostly just use my camera for pictures at sports events, but while at a Notre Dame game and Redskins game last month I noticed my pictures from my camera came out extremely grainy and dull.
I am looking for a good digital camera, hopefully one that will not break the bank.

Sitepoint Members,Where can I test PHP code online. The one site I found gives error messages I can't understand.
The ideal would be to get your own hosting, which can cost as little as a few dollars a month. Or you could set up a server environment on your own computer, using something like WAMP (PC) or MAMP (Mac), both of which are free.
Ralph,I forgot to think of "validator". I found a php validator.
PHPLint on-line
Which is an okay tester for syntax of an individual file. *AMPing it is usually better for testing purposes (and faster than having to FTP to a remote site constantly ), because you have direct access to php.ini and can turn error reporting on by default.
Why not get yourself some free webspace with the likes of X10Hosting or 000Webhost, both have good support forums to answer any technical problems you may encounter.
Not so sure about that. You still have to create a file, name it, save it, type in the address manually in the browser etc. Most programmers are inherently lazy so it's best to use a site like:Free PHP test - free php code testing online. -Test run php code online, right here - WriteCodeOnline.com/PHP
Just type and go!
Get the best of both worlds, PHP Interactive - an interactive shell for PHP an interactive shell you install on your own machine.
Used it for years, where I do most much of working out when replying here. Sometimes you don't want to pollute your IDE with snippets of code.
Again; Run PHP code.
Run this.<?phpinclude_once('config.php');include_once('functions.php');include_once('header.php');
//300 lines of code?>
Now find me the errors in my code and make sure it comes out with the correct values.
"You still have to create a file, name it, save it, type in the address manually in the browser"
And in your example you still have to create a file type in the address manually in your browser...and now you have to make it flat, not connect to any database that isnt open to the world connecting to it, have to comply to their server's modules, etc....
Far more work than just coding the thing and actually running it, imo. But if thats what works for you, by all means go for it.
I seen an awesome demo of [this (BeachPHP) at [URL="http://conference.phpnw.org.uk/phpnw10/"]PHPNW10](https://github.com/Bittarman/BeachPHP), brilliant.
The op asked where they could test php code. Not an entire php system
When I want to test a bit of code that is reliant on other files, variables etc, i just manually set them up instead and then run the trial code to see how it works with the variables. It's not hard is it.
Trycodeonline.com is the place which you are searching for, here you can test your code online or you can save the code for future reference or to share with your friends
writecodeonline.com/php is the site to test php code.
