Joico Int'l Creative Director Damien Carney's Golden Globe Picks
Adele's larger than life upstyle matched her larger than life voice. Helen Mirren's bouncy waves reflected her exuberant personality. This year the Golden Globes red carpet allowed stars to showcase their personal style with sass and panache, says Joico International Creative Director Damien Carney. Here are Damien's picks for the best looks of the evening and tips for recreating each look.
Best Updos: Tie—Julianne Moore and Adele
"I love the way Julianne's beehive was reinvented," says Damien. "It's not over-worked or overly-backcombed—the size and proportion are perfect!"
Get the look:
1. Combine a pea-sized dollop of Joico Smooth Cure Leave-In Rescue Treatment and a golf-ball sized application of Joico Power Whip Whipped Foam to damp hair.
2. Blow dry with a large, round brush, smoothing and stretching to create natural body.
3. Establish a low side part.
4. Section off the crown area and backcomb lightly with a Mason Pearson-style brush. Mist the area with Joico Power Spray Fast Dry Finishing Spray to support the volume.
5. With your hands and the brush, smooth and direct one side toward the back. Working from nape to crown secure the sections with a vertical row of bobby pins, then criss-cross each pin with another set of pins. Work up to the crown.
6. Direct the other side back, fold and pleat, maintaining a full crown, and secure with bobby pins. The nape should be tight to the head, the top less so.
7. Mist with Power Spray.
"Adele's big hair matches her big voice," declares Damien. "It's large and strong and evokes a modern '60s feeling."
Get the look:
1. Apply two drops of Joico Smooth Cure Leave-In Rescue to damp hair, comb through and blow dry with a large round brush.
2. Set hair with heated rollers to create volume and body. Remove rollers and brush through thoroughly.
3. Isolate the front hairline and clip away.
4. Mist the remaining hair with Joico JoiShape Shaping and Finishing Spray. Once the spray dries, brush through—the spray will make it easier to control and construct the shape.
5. Divide the hair into two sections, front and back. Beginning at the crown, backcomb large, horizontal sections at the scalp. Continue backcombing, switching to vertical sections at the sides and finishing in the front.
6. Without disturbing the volume, lightly smooth and gather the hair away from the face.
7. Sweep one side around and toward the back, and secure with a row of criss-crossed bobby pins.
8. Repeat on the opposite side, pleating and folding the hair with a light twist to conceal the lengths, and secure.
9. Release the fringe and backcomb lightly. Brush the section lightly away from the face and use your fingers to curve and direct the hair. Mist lightly with Joico Power Spray Fast Dry Finishing Spray.
Best Tousled Waves: Helen Mirren
"These bouncy, carefree waves are youthful and lively," says Damien. "It's important to keep mature hair as healthy and shiny as possible with a great conditioner like Joico K-PAK RevitaLuxe."
Get the look:
1. Apply a small amount of Joico Power Whip Whipped Foam to damp hair and blow dry with a large round brush.
2. Mist hair with Joico Texture Boost Dry Spray Wax for control and light, workable texture.
3. Divide the top and bottom sections from temple to temple with a horseshoe-shaped parting.
4. Twirl random vertical sections around a medium-sized curling iron. Mix up the shape and size of the sections to create an irregular and natural-looking wave pattern. Begin at the nape and work through the sides. Direct the front sections away from the face.
5. Mist with Joico Humidity Blocker Finishing Spray to control frizz.
6. Gently shape and comb the finished shape with fingers.
Best Ballerina Bun: Emily Blunt
"Nothing is more classic and elegant than a high, tight topknot," says Damien. "The bun should be as full as possible—it creates a very luxe effect. Try Joico Body Luxe Shampoo and Conditioner to plump up skinny strands."
Get the look:
1. Apply a dime size amount of Joico Crème Wax to wet hair and comb through.
2. Using your hands and fingers, gather hair into a ponytail and secure it at the crown with a bungee cord-style hair band.
3. Wrap and twist the remaining hair into a bun, mist with Joico Power Spray Fast Dry Finishing Spray and secure.
4. Camoflauge the bungee cord with a small strand of hair.
5. Mist hands with Joico JoiShape Shaping and Finishing Spray and gently pat the hair without disturbing the bun to control flyaways and add polish.
Best Textured Upsweep: Jennifer Lawrence
"This is a great way to showcase natural wave or curl," says Damien. "The look is feminine and elegant."
Get the look:
1. Apply Joico K-PAK Color Care Therapy Restorative Styling Oil to damp hair and comb through.
2. Air dry hair or dry it with a diffuser to encourage the natural texture.
3. Mist with Joico Humidity Blocker Finishing Spray.
4. Loosely divide the head from temple to temple across the top of the head.
5. Gather the bottom section loosely at the nape and secure with a clear elastic band.
6. Direct remaining side lengths toward the back and secure at the nape with bobby pins.
7. Mist the top section with Joico JoiShape Shaping and Finishing Spray and massage it lightly into the scalp to encourage additional texture. Avoid disturbing the curl.
8. Gently direct the top section back and secure with bobby pins. Allow random hairline sections to fall free to create softness.

An Ingredient Analysis of Scalpure, "The Facial for Your Scalp"
Is calcium bentonite, the main ingredient of products such as Scalpure, good for you and your hair?
The total cumulative charge is directly proportional to the total surface area of the crystal. As particle size decreases, the overall surface area increases, and thus the particles become more highly negatively charged. This property makes these materials very interesting for nanotechnological research and applications.
Natural or chemical?
A positive metallic ion (usually either sodium or calcium and sometimes magnesium) is associated with each crystalline face. These are known as exchangeable ions, as they vary according to the source of the mineral. The effect of these cations is to significantly reduce the overall negative charge of the platelets. Montmorillonite clay is quite hydrophilic and readily attracts and adsorbs water to itself. When hydrated, bentonite crystals aggregate together to form a three-dimensional structure known as a house of cards, with a layer of water between each card.
When the positive counterion is sodium, these clays retain a higher degree of negative charge and are thus extremely hygroscopic. In this form they swell tremendously due to absorption of large quantities of water molecules, which can be hazardous in biological applications. However, sodium bentonite can be very useful in many other applications, particularly in the mining and petroleum industries. Calcium bentonite is the preferred form for most cosmetic and pharmaceutical uses, as it still swells in aqueous systems, but it is not quite so hygroscopic as the sodium form.
The unique ionic, three-dimensional, sandwich-like structures of calcium bentonite impart extremely interesting and useful properties to these materials. They are excellent colloid dispersant agents and highly effective emulsifiers as they can trap oils in the layers between platelets. They also can enhance the structures of micelles in solution and aid in the development of liquid crystalline structures, such as vesicles.
Bentonite clays are often used as viscosity modifiers for fluid systems that require thickening but that are also expected to be easily spreadable or dispensable. Consider toothpaste. It must be sufficiently viscous to fill out and remain inside the tube, but it must also be easily squeezed and dispensed onto a toothbrush. Bentonite clays are pseudoplastic materials (those with non-Newtonian properties) that exhibit this type of thixotropic behavior, which means that the viscosity of the system decreases over time with a constant applied shear force.

My name is Arijit and I stay in Calcutta, India.
For about last 18 months I have felt a strong inner attraction towards Lord Buddha. There are very few Buddhist monasteries in Calcutta and none that are " inviting " to an inquisitive stranger [ none that hold discourses of any kind or explain anything if you ask; they hold daily prayers in evening which public are allowed to attend ].
So I am glad to have found this Forum of like minded individuals. Very glad to be part of this Forum with all of you.

Ewan Kingston
I did London to Sydney without flying. Here's how
Ewan Kingston
Our well-grounded Kiwi reflects on his six month (almost flightless) odyssey from London to New Zealand, and answers all the usual questions on travel without wings
Followers of my blog will have known for a while, that, from London, I got as far as Sydney with my feet never leaving the surface of the globe. Having rested, and re-started my course of study, I'm now answering the most common questions…
Hitch-hiking to a Buddhist monastery/shamanic energy centre near the Trans-Mongolian line through the Gobi, eating pig's ear at a roadside diner in Chinese heartland, watching the sunset over the Sumatran archipelago from the back deck of a ferry.
How green was it?
As far as positives go, I learnt swags about geography, culture, history, and politics. All crucial topics for a true environmentalist. The main impact of the trip was in CO2 emissions from transport. But the figures speak for themselves:
Overland route (coach where possible, trains, ferries, yachts):
27,727Km - 1.45 tonnes CO2
Flying direct long haul (+10%... Read More...
I failed. I caught a plane
Ewan Kingston
Thousands of miles by train, coach, bus, boat and foot and, at the last hurdle, Ewan finds that there's no way to cross the Tasman Sea except on metal wings...
My heart sank a little as I booked the flight from Sydney to Christchurch. My flight across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand will probably have as much of a contribution to global warming as a train from London to Irkutsk, or a passenger coach travelling almost 1 and a half times around the world.
It wasn't for lack of trying. In the last month, I've made about a hundred calls to marinas, port controllers, even nautical bookstores, searching for that elusive cruising yacht that might want crew for the trans-Tasman passage.
Elusive options
There were tantalising hints and leads. One yacht left just as I arrived. A private powerboat was willing to take me, but its footprint was probably massive.
The rough nature of the passage and the lack of leads also lead me to investigate cargo ships. Though only a handful of shipping companies carry passengers, one-man-show Hamish, of Read More...
Bali to Australia by catamaran
Ewan Kingston
Though it was slow, choppy, wet and tiring, Ewan looks back on his wind-powered crossing to Australia as an experience worth every minute
Two months after one of the most widespread environmental demonstrations ever, the COP15 conference at Copenhagen seems to be ending with a whimper. It feels like the green movement is heading against the wind. Perhaps it's a good time for me to reflect on another moment of heading against the wind, on board a sailing catamaran, 300 miles north of the Australian coast.
Part of what made it so special was that on board were four others who were also travel without flying. Our captain was sailing the cat from its previous home in Turkey to his home in Perth, with help from a rotating pool of crew and passengers. One of these, Mark, was planning a circumnavigation and had been on the road almost two years. His circuitous route had taken him through many of the 'stans as well as along the 4,600 metre high Karakoram highway between Pakistan and Xinjiang, China. His travel snaps involved Kalishnikovs and burqas.
Are you an overland traveller?
Ewan Kingston
Ewan discovers that 'overland traveller' has become something of a category, but one into which he's happy to fit
I'm nursing a mee goreng at the Bali Marina. The captain of the Placebo, a yacht that hopefully take me to Australia, looks at me thoughtfully.
'You're not one of these "overland travellers" are you? I've had three others contact me, they're coming too,' he says.
When I began this trip, I thought I was doing something pretty unique. Sure, I knew about Ed and Fiona Gillespie's trip, and Babs and her voyage from Wales to Brisbane. Some people must also have followed the Man in Seat 61's excellent advice on long-haul overland travel. But I didn't imagine to meet three others who are travelling England to Australia without flying. Soon I'll actually get to meet them - and their stories will intertwine... Read More...
No plane, no problem in South East Asia...
Ewan Kingston
Ewan travels south through Laos and Thailand, discovering a landscape that speaks of the awkward throes of industrialisation...
After an extended stay in China, my pace needed to become a little more urgent. Luckily, although a lot of travellers take flights even within Thailand, it's not actually hard to travel right across South East Asia without flying. Visas or visa exemptions are available for the majority of travellers at border posts in Laos, Thailand and Malaysia. Buses ply long distances between major towns regularly. Take your pick from colourful, uncomfortable slow local buses or a bit of luxury with VIP style coaches. Travel by day, night, or both. I didn't use any trains, because of their typically higher footprint, but they are an option in Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam as well.
Using just buses, I traveled 3000km of road to get from China to Malaysia in just over a week, This included a 4 day stopover in Laos' regal Luang Prabang, but for the rest of the time, I was, shall we say, on the buses. I made a few mistakes: wasting time hopping borders on local buses instead of... Read More...

Hi,I try to start a site with a closed Fx.Slide(). What I have:
$$('div.cont_inside').each(function(el) {
el.set('slide', {
mode: 'vertical',
duration: 'short'
navi 1
The slide starts closed but don´t comes up on click. Without the '.hide()' it works normal. Only want tostart the slide in closed condition.
Thanx for help
In your code, you have two '$' in the onClick. Is that copied/pasted from your actual code? If so, take out one of the '$'.
thanx for your answer. I don´t know what you exactly mean. $$ returns a collection and I take the first [0] of them. Without it comes to
TypeError: $(...) is null
I just want to know how to hide an element on startup. The first toggle should be the reveal of the element.. not the dissolve.
... the solution is:
$$('div.cont_inside').each(function(el) {
el.set('slide', {
mode: 'vertical',
duration: 'short'
}).slide ('hide');
Sorry if I missed something, but isn't this identical to post one.
In the Prototype library, the double dollar selector takes an arbitrary number of CSS selectors (strings) and returns a document-order array of extended DOM elements that match any of them.I'm guessing that's what the OP is using.
Nope. There are still two dollars but 'slide ('hide')' instead of hide ().
Ah. Missed that. Cheers

Quote from Jim Ross.. Hell in a cell has only been used 22 times in the history of the WWE, my question is, How many times of the times have been because of this waste of time PPVover the last few years????
i remember back in the day when hell in a cell was thee ultimate way and the last resort to ending a fued, only when all other possibilities had been explored was hell in a cell
The WWE obviously is a well oiled machine as its has a long and successful history, outlasting many of its competitors; but my question to you is how can it become better?
Any business should look and improving and my personal opinion is the wwe could;
Firstly, remove the split roster policy and have one giant roster for both Raw and Smackdown! This wouldnt only improve the watchability

The Boston Celtics have hired Brad Stevens as coach, stealing him away from a position at Butler that he appeared destined to hold for years to come.
Stevens will become the 17th coach in Celtics franchise history, the team announced Wednesday. Terms of deal were not made available, per team policy, but the Boston Herald reported that Stevens received a six-year contract and Yahoo! Sports reported the pact is worth $22 million.
DEVENEY: High-risk move by Ainge | DeCOURCY: New Butler coach must maintain level
"Our family is thrilled for the opportunity given to us by the leadership of the Boston Celtics, but it is emotional to leave a place that we have called home for the past 13 years," Stevens said in a statement.
Stevens takes over for Doc Rivers, who left to become coach of the Los Angeles Clippers. The Celtics will go from one of the NBA's longest-tenured coaches to a coach in his first NBA season as a head man.
He is not without experience, though. In his time with Butler, Stevens led the school to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Tournament final. He was 166-49 in six seasons at the school, producing four Horizon League regular season championships and three tournament titles.
The Celtics are in the process of a rebuild, having traded franchise staples Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets. But they still have point guard Rajon Rondo on the roster, and, as SN's Sean Deveney was told, he will stick it out in Boston and does not plan to ask for a trade to a contender. Young forward Jeff Green and guard Avery Bradley also have potential.
"Brad and I share a lot of the same values," said Celtics president Danny Ainge in a press release. "Though he is young, I see Brad as a great leader who leads with impeccable character and a strong work ethic. His teams always play hard and execute on both ends of the court. Brad is a coach who has already enjoyed lots of success, and I look forward to working with him towards Banner 18."

We've been hearing for many months that Intel is planning on transitioning from the current LGA package to the BGA package. We could start seeing this trend with the upcoming Intel Haswell processors in 2013 as some companies will be launching SOC (System-On-Chip) motherboard designs that have the CPU, GPU and the northbridge chipset (PCH) all on a single die that is soldered to the board. Sites in Asia are reporting that Intel Broadwell processors will be using just the BGA package, which means that the era of socketed motherboards might be coming to an end this decade. What will this mean for enthusiasts and motherboard makers? The BGA package attaches the processor permanently on to the mainboard, so this will more than likely greatly reduce the number of motherboard models to pick from and maybe even the processors. Intel Haswell processors are due for a Q2 2013 launch and Intel Broadwell 14nm processors are due out a year later in 2014. This means we have well over two years for this to happen if it is true and a ton can happen in that amount of time! Who knows what will happen, but all of our sources say that this is the direction that PCs are headed.
PC Watch reports, by the OEM channels of news, Haswell successor Broadwell use 14nm process in 2014 will no longer form of LGA package, and only focus on the BGA package SoC.

I'm helping redesign a high school web design course. It's actually a second level course-- the first level covers:
The second level of the course used to cover Dreamweaver and Flash, but we're dropping Flash. Here's what we are thinking of adding into this second level course:
Ok, so what are we missing in this second level course?
You should drop Dreamweaver too. In fact, probably should have dropped Dreamweaver a decade ago.
You may find the Mozilla Learning page useful. Not only does it link to some of the best resources, but it groups them by "introductory," "intermediate," and "advanced."
AT BOTH levels I would seriously consider UI theory. Also learning Standards, and accessibility issues. While it seems you seem to be teaching mostly front end design, I would consider adding basic PHP to the second level( you might as well, if you are going to delve into WP anyway)
Thanks both of you!
Yeah, I have some folks on the team who can't seem to let go of Dreamweaver. I'm trying to talk them down off the ledge!
Most of our schools can't even get FTP access so hosting sites is an issue, which really bites. I'm not sure if it's plausible to even teach any php without having server access.
That Mozilla page looks interesting--thanks again!
Try setting up a server locally,or a LAN , it wont be 100% real, but it will appear with the classroom as such.
Besides , its good practice to develop locally(on your machine) and then upload to a network (even intranet). the one drawback however s that students may have to be assigned specific machines.
Everything else you are considering is open source, so Dw is the black sheep in there, and to focus on one tool like that is to miss the point that the tool in web design doesn't matter. There are lots of excellent code editors out there, but at the end of the day, the editor should be out of the picture. If it's a part of the story, it probably means that the whole web design process is being done "all wrong" (to put it colloquially).
As D_P said, you can set up a server locally—either by installlng the various necessary components separately or by using something like MAMP (Mac) or XAMPP (PC), which makes life much easier. You won't be able to teach much about a CMS like WP without such a setup, as noted.
html,xml and all related languages.
Usability and conversion rate optimisation.
It's worth mentioning that HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Marketing is NOT Web Design.
Web Design is exactly what it says; the designing of the website. When you go into writing code you're talking about Web Development.
The first bit of advise I can give you is to change the name of the course to Web Design & Development. The second part would be to drop all talk of SEO and Marketing because it is out of scope. If you want to teach HS students how to build a website then I would limit it to design and development, and to let them become good at that first.
In other words, I'd make the first level contain:
For starters, you're touching on security without any mention of server-side coding, so you're not really covering much in terms of security. Putting a plaster on a wound doesn't make you a surgeon.
The first level should drum home as much HTML as they'll need to know, so give them a small introduction to HTML5 and some more CSS and then leave them to learn whatever else they'll need to make a site.
You've listed WordPress as a CMS, which is a bad move as WordPress is a blog script that is used by entry-level developers as a CMS, usually because they have no experience of a real CMS. If I were you I'd install a copy of Concrete5 or Drupal and just show the kids what a CMS can do. It's all you can do without teaching them about server-side coding...
Again, do NOT teach the kids Dreamweaver. Even kids of that age will know that no one uses Dreamweaver any more and your course will lose all credibility.
If I were you I'd use the second level course to get the kids working on a project. A good task would be to get them to write the front-end of a blog together. Give each kid a task to do on the blog and get them to agree on an overall design to work from and then give them that time to build the design and front-end. By the time the course is finished you can plug it into some back-end code you've written and they can have their own blog, leaving your final lesson to show off how it works and how what they've created is largely the kind of stuff they may be doing in industry.
Looking at the future of the Web Industry; responsive design and their frameworks is a must.
I personally would teach the approach to web design in the second course. Either make up some companies/prospectuses or go out to local companies (or local charities) that support your school and get information you can build from. Give them real life "work" to do as that will help to cement the work to something tangible.
I would teach them "mobile first" design as that will hopefully help to ensure they're building responsibly and not just throwing jQuery crap in just because it's easier.
Focus on semantics and proper use of the tools. Show them the power of css and progressive enhancement (i.e. responsible javascript). Teach them about accessibility and how to test without images and without javascript.
jQuery would be a nice addition to your course description. It is a great replacement for Flash and the animation is simply smooth.It really ties in well with Javascript and HTML5.

From the Floor of the 2011 Detroit Auto Show: Live Pictures
Warren, Mich.—For the longest time (forever), there has been little distinction between your basic workaday Chevrolet pickup and the "professional grade" upscale version sold as the GMC Sierra. Since GM's pared down its stable of nameplates, it's time for GMC to mean more than badge engineering. The GMC Sierra All Terrain HD Concept being shown at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show is a peek at how that's going to happen. It's a concept aimed to split the difference between the two off-road pickup brawlers on the market, the Ford F150 SVT Raptor and the Ram Power Wagon.
The All Terrain starts with good bones—a production 2011 Sierra 2500 HD chassis, cabin and slightly dressed-up interior, as well as the new 6.6-liter Duramax diesel with 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. GMC engineers chopped the back of the frame down and mounted the 5.8-foot short box on top to give it a wheel-pushed-to-the-corners look. The truck is lifted 3 inches and is 4.2 inches wider, thanks to a set of custom control arms up front and new springs in the rear, with Fox Racing shocks all around. For protection while rock-bashing, there's a full-length underbody skidplate that leaves a generous 11.8 inches of ground clearance.
To make sure this concept catches everyone's eyes, designers took familiar GMC design cues and pushed them to the extreme. A huge grille up front flows into a flush bumper that's cut away on the corners to make hopping logs easier. The hood is new and gets two big intakes for the Duramax to breathe through; new wheel flares all around add to the aggressive look and cover the 35-inch tires. Sprinkled around are neatly integrated running lights like those embedded along the top of the windshield and rear glass. Down the side are automatically deployed flood-lighted power steps borrowed from the Escalade. The bed boasts some tricks, too: Additional storage comes via Rambox-like containers along the top edge; there's also a ring of lighting in the bed liner and outlets for both pressurized air and 120-volt power.
General Motors is using this monster to gauge interest in something like this coming from GMC, but at the same time expects the Sierra All Terrain HD to act as a design study for much more differentiated GMC pickups to come. We see quite a number of aesthetic details you should expect to see when the production trucks get upgraded to match their all-new mechanical bits.
Ever looked at a MINI Countryman and thought, wonder what that would look like with two doors... That's essentially the gist of the MINI Paceman Concept debuting at this year's Detroit Auto Show. It takes a dab of Cooper and a dab of Countyman and after a stylistic somersault, out pops the Paceman. Familiar shapes are tweaked and reworked to provide a sleeker look while keeping with tradition.
Under the abbreviated bonnet rests the rip-snorting 1.6-liter twin-scroll turbocharged inline Four from the John Cooper Works MINI. The mill delivers 211 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque with an Overboost feature that temporarily delivers 207 lb-ft. It's mated to a manual transmission that drives the MINI ALL4 permanent all-wheel-drive system, which has an electromagnetic center differential able to switch between 100-percent front bias to send up to 50 percent to the rear.
Despite the compact looks, this MINI isn't—it rides on the Countryman's chassis, so it's at a whopping 15.7 inches longer, 4 inches wider and 5.2 inches taller than the current coupe offering. It's got Cooper proportions but casts almost exactly the same shadow as a Countryman, just a shade lower. Being a MINI, it places handling at a premium and features a carefully tuned strut with lower track-control arms for front suspension, with a multilink setup at the rear. Electronic power steering boosts efficiency and keeps the handsome 19-inch pointed in the right direction.
Interior accoutrements have been dialed up a notch, too. The giant center speedometer stays, but a slimmer center console gets swapped in for better legroom. Material quality is improved (unbelievably), and the seating surfaces get the posh, quilted-leather treatment; the bench in the back gets chucked for a pair of buckets.
MINI is considering it as a possible addition to the lineup, a second coupe for people with long legs who also tote around friends every once in a while. MINI's BMW overlords have made it clear they see big things for the brand, so model-line expansion means that something like the Paceman is almost certainly in the cards.

Editors' Guest: Are you current on your vaccines?
On March 1, 2006, the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) released the second iteration of the Canine Vaccine Guidelines, which includes a number of important updates and additions to the initial version published just three years ago. I strongly encourage all veterinarians practicing companion-animal medicine today to review this important document ( http://www.aahanet.org/).
The new guidelines are divided into two parts: Part 1, important updates on vaccination issues in general practice, and Part 2, principles of vaccinating dogs in the animal shelter environment.Updates on vaccination issues
Initial puppy and initial adult vaccination recommendations are listed for all vaccine types licensed for dogs in the United States (see Table 1 in the guidelines). Revaccination (booster) recommendations are also listed along with comments on whether a particular vaccine type is recommended as core or noncore (optional) or is not recommended. This table summarizes the AAHA Canine Vaccine Task Force recommendations—it's worth the read!
You'll also find a section on new vaccine technologies. Alternatives to traditional killed and modified live (avirulent live) vaccines are now available as several recombinant products have been licensed for use in dogs, cats, horses, wildlife (rabies), and people. And with DNA vaccines on the horizon in veterinary medicine, it becomes increasingly important for veterinarians to understand the immunologic principles behind the immunologic specificity and safety of recombinant vaccines.
The new guidelines also address the role of serologic testing in assessing immunity after vaccination. This section contains important facts pertaining to the application and interpretation of serologic testing.
An updated Vaccine Adverse Events section reflects current recommendations on recognizing and reporting adverse reactions associated with vaccination. Guidance on when and how to report is provided. Keep in mind that, in veterinary medicine, no national vaccine adverse event database exists. While veterinarians are always encouraged to report known or suspected adverse vaccine reactions directly to the manufacturer, a manufacturer is not required to divulge adverse event information received from other veterinarians on similar reactions caused by the same product.
Key issues pertaining to a veterinarian's potential liability associated with vaccination (either injury or failure to immunize) have also been updated. This section, titled "Vaccination from a Medicolegal Perspective," reviews critical terms such as negligence, malpractice, and informed consent as they pertain to vaccination.
The last section of Part 1 addresses vaccination in the context of individualized care. Both fact and philosophy are included. While the AAHA Canine Vaccine Task Force supports the principle of providing an annual examination for dogs, it emphasizes that annual vaccination alone does not constitute a comprehensive wellness program.
Vaccinating dogs in shelters
This entirely new section is intended for veterinarians who specifically work in shelter medicine as well as those who may serve local shelters in an advisory capacity. Included are a table that lists which vaccines are recommended and which are not and vaccination recommendations for circumstances unique to the shelter environment involving pregnant dogs, sick dogs, dogs with known vaccination histories, and dogs held long-term.
As new vaccines and new information on existing vaccines become available, the AAHA Canine Vaccine Guidelines will be updated. Once the task force reviews them, timely vaccine updates will be posted directly at http://www.aahanet.org/.

Thoughts of climbing this one have long chilled my blood but, once we finally sacked up to it, it wasn't so bad. You're really more likely the star in a flick chock full of obscenities than a gory maul-fest. I'll say that if you can confidently pull the well-protected cruxes of the 2nd pitch, you should have no trouble with the "PG-13/Soft-R" run-outs above. As the poster notes, new bolts may have made this one much safer than it was BITD; of course you can always stay left and avoid the bolts, if that's how you roll...Crumbling holds at and above the crux detract from the quality of this route, but the overall character of movement is superb and it really deserves more ascents. The rock *may* (hopes!) clean up with more traffic. One more thing: Leaders, I would advise NOT yarding on the middle of the giant protuberance directly above the 1st belay; bad things could happen...
A cam or two in the hands-range will tame the spice on the 1st pitch.
EDIT: This route has, in fact, been retro-bolted. This info via the rest of the FA party, and verified by a recent revisit. A sport route climbs out of the Inner Passage and merges into the 2nd pitch of Magnus; the newer bolts are still spaced a healthy distance apart, so be prepared. The 3rd pitch has been completely retro-bolted and is super safe.

I would like to clarify the above description. I did not add any bolts to what was done on the first ascent. The only place I believe any bolts should have been added to the route were at the belay by the protuberance (as I recall we left slings and it was messy). It's sad to hear that folks are so soft and can't leave a couple of routes for someone that aspires to different challenges. The route was put up on lead and drilled using stances and hooks. I am all for replacing aging hardware, but not changing the character of a particular route. It is weak sauce to add bolts and say that the first ascent party did the deed. There were plenty of routes in that area that did not require as much attention to detail and climbing skill. Sad.
John Fowler
P.S. It seems that you really didn't need to "sack up".

|Hey John did you talk to the rest of the FA party to see if they added them?

John I agree that bolts should not be added to established lines. They should be left as test-pieces for people looking forward to the challenge. There are plenty of safe routes to choose from in the Stronghold.
For what it's worth Clay and Andy are badass and can sack up with the best of them.
By John Fowler
Oct 30, 2012
I didn't mean to imply that Clay and Andy couldn't "sack up", just that they didn't need too. :}
I did not contact Scott about this, he would need to live with himself if he went and defaced my leads. As I said earlier, I always thought that the belay by the protuberance needed to be cleaned up. We left slings hanging off of it and it is bit sketchy, but that is all that I feel was needed to clean up the route.

P.S. The route name is Magnus Veritas not Magna Veritas.

|Cool John, thanks for the clarification. (edit)
By John Fowler
Oct 30, 2012
I am just surprised that bolts were added. I don't feel strongly enough too push for more damage being done to the rock. I don't know who added the bolts and honestly I don't care. I got something myself from the route that I did and nobody else will allowed to have a similar experience. Andy and Clay got all psyched up for something that doesn't exist anymore. It seems like others have been robbed by another self indulgent act. When I did the leads on that route I did them in such a way as to achieve a particular experience, that has now been removed. It happens a lot to routes all over. It does seem to me that climbers should not erase history and possibly attempt to reach within themselves to do better. After all, there are plenty of other routes at that particular grade to hone your skills before stepping up to something more mentally challenging. Replacing bad/old bolts is one thing, rebolting a route to meet your own limitations (or those of others) is a different act. I do believe that maintaining the challenge and history of a route is very important so other can have similar experiences if they are capable. There are way more safe routes these days than routes that require both physical and mental fitness. I don't own the rock or the route, I was just lucky enough to go up there and have a great experience.

|(Edit). Thanks John. FWIW I would prefer that runout routes are not retrobolted.

|Got on this route at Fall 2015 beanfest. It is sort of a bummer the holds at the crux are so small and decomposing but I fell off because I misread the moves. Perhaps this is why I don't spend a ton of time in the Stronghold. The climbing up the first pitch is fun. The thrutching over the first bulge of the second pitch wasn't much fun nor was the crux. The rest of the route was cool and probably makes it worth doing.

An exceptionally mild early winter in California along with sluggish production out of Florida in January means good returns for Southern California strawberry grower-shippers as the season kicks off.
Temperatures into the mid-80s helped bring on ample volume in the region.
The Watsonville-based California Strawberry Commission reported that harvested volume for Southern California as of Feb. 8 was about 5.7 million cases, compared with about 3.8 million cases at the same time in 2013.
The 1.1 million trays shipped the week ending Feb. 8 exceeded the 1 million-tray projection.
On Feb. 11, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported an f.o.b. price of mostly $14 for trays of eight 1-pound clamshells out of the Oxnard growing district. Last year on the same date, the price was $12.
Most agreed that it would be hard to do worse than last year as far as markets are concerned.
"At least for this district, (2013) was a terrible year," said strawberry salesman Doug Lowthorp, salesman for Deardorff Family Farms, Oxnard, Calif.
That's because California, Florida and Mexico all had heavy production last winter.
"Everything came out at once," Lowthorp said. "There was way too much (product) as an industry."
This year, thanks to cold weather in Florida and, for a time, storms in central Mexico, the market was outstanding for Southern California growers.
On Feb. 4, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported an f.o.b. price of $16 for a tray of eight 1-pound clamshells out of the Oxnard growing district. Last year on the same date, the price was $12.
"The California crop is coming along really good right now," Craig Moriyama, director of berry operations for Naturipe Berry Growers Inc., Salinas, Calif., said in late January. "We're looking at record early volume if the weather holds."
The Baja California and Oxnard growing areas have similar climatic conditions, said Chad Dvorak, director of sales for the berry division of San Diego-based Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce.
"They're both excellent right now," he said Feb. 4. "Size is outstanding."
"Quality out of central Mexico has been quite good as well," he said, though the berries, which are a different variety and grown at a higher elevation than those from the other areas, were slightly smaller.
Watsonville, Calif.-based California Giant Inc. started harvesting in Southern California right after Christmas, as usual, said Cindy Jewell, director of marketing.
"Quality is great," she said, as were size and taste.
She expects strawberries to be available for Valentine's Day.
"We just don't know how many or where from," she said.
The company sources from California, Mexico and Florida in February.
She also was optimistic about Easter, April 20.
"We should have a lot of berries for Easter," she said.
The late date for Easter means a shorter window between Easter and Mother's Day, May 11, and Memorial Day, May 26, providing an opportunity to build up marketing momentum all month long, Jewell said.
Watsonville-based CBS Farms started harvesting the third week in December, about two weeks earlier than usual because of the good weather, said Charlie Staka, director of sales.
"Quality has been excellent so far," he said in late January, and berry size was good.
The company traditionally picks out of Southern California until Mother's Day, and then moves north to the Watsonville area.
"SoCal quality has been awesome this winter," added Michelle Deleissegues, marketing director for Red Blossom Sales Inc., Salinas.
Although some varieties start out slow, production should be smooth and steady "with outstanding fruit quality," she said.
Andrew & Williamson assures that it will have adequate supplies during the winter by sourcing from several growing areas.
"November through April is the most challenging months of the year for weather," said John King, vice president of sales. So the company has a "geographic diversity" program, growing strawberries in Oxnard, Baja California and central Mexico.
"We're leveraged in three different regions, so if there's a rain event or cold event we've got other options available to make sure we've got that supply."

Ortiz goes deep, extends hit streak to 25 games
ARLINGTON -- Red Sox slugger David Ortiz provided no subtlety or mystery when it came to whether he would prolong his career-long hitting streak another day.
In the top of the first inning against Rangers ace Yu Darvish on Sunday afternoon, Ortiz walloped a towering two-run homer to right to give his team a quick lead.
Dating back to July 2, 2012, Ortiz has hit in 25 straight games. Prior to this season, Ortiz's longest career hitting streak was 19 games. That streak came in 2002, when he was with the Minnesota Twins.
Ortiz has also reached base in 33 straight games, another career high.
His magnificent start to the season has come despite a right Achilles injury that prevented him from playing in Spring Training.
Ortiz started his season on April 20.
"I've been a hitter my whole life," Ortiz said. "It's not like I'm doing anything new. Same routine -- I haven't changed anything."

Infectious Diseases
Can this harm a unborn baby if someone that the expected mom lives with has contracted MRSA?
Not necessarily and not likely. MRSA and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus can colonize and/or infect humans, including newborns, but an unborn baby is protected from many infections unless the mother is sick. If there is any concern that the mother is infected, she should see her obstetrician as soon as possible.

High Country Baking: Tyrolean apple kuchen
October 9, 2012
What's my perfect vacation? Beautiful scenery, great hiking trails and delicious food. I found it all in the Italian Dolomites this September. Well-marked trails yield breathtaking views at every turn. And, little huts (huttes), offering food and shelter, appear out of nowhere, miles from any sign of civilization. Their presence in the wilderness amazed me. But, even more astonishing were their offerings; we had some of the trip's best meals in these remote cabins – homemade pasta, local sausage and freshly-baked desserts. This Tyrolean Apple Kuchen is reminiscent of their fare…simple, straightforward and utterly delicious.The word kuchen actually means "cake." But, in Italy and Austria, we found it used to describe many baked desserts so, this one, which is more like a free-form pie, carries the title. Tender pastry dough encases a filling of apples, nuts and dried fruit, which are sweetened with brown sugar and flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Served warm, with a topping of ice cream or hard sauce (our favorite), it's a lovely ending to the evening meal.Vera Dawson, chef instructor with CMC's Culinary Institute, lives in Summit County, where she bakes almost every day. Her recipes have been tested in her home kitchen and, whenever necessary, altered until they work at our altitude. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com
IngredientsPastry1 1/2 cups of unbleached flour, (spoon and level)1 tablespoon of granulated sugar1/4 teaspoon of salt8 tablespoons (one stick) of unsalted butter, cold1/4 cup of whole milk or cream ———————————————Filling1/3 cup of a mixture of dried cranberries, raisins & dried cherries1/4 cup of packed dark brown sugar1/4 cup of chopped walnuts1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon1/8 teaspoon each of ground nutmeg and ground ginger2 tablespoons of ground gingersnaps or fresh white bread crumbs2 teaspoons of flour2 cups of peeled, thinly-sliced Golden Delicious apples1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice2 tablespoons of dark rum or apple cider2 tablespoons of cream or milkGranulated sugar———————————————01 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, with a rack in the center position. Line a baking sheet with parchment or grease it lightly.———————————————02 Make the pastry: Combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine them well. Cut the cold butter into 16 pieces, add them to the bowl, and pulse until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add the milk and pulse until a rough dough forms. Turn out onto a sheet of waxed paper, knead gently, form into a rectangle, wrap and chill.———————————————03 Make the filling: Combine the first seven ingredients in a large bowl and stir/toss to combine well. Add the apples, making certain that they are thinly sliced or they won't be baked when everything else is. If your apples are large, cut each slice in half horizontally to assure that they get done. Then, add the lemon juice, cider or rum, and stir/toss until everything is well combined. ———————————————04 Between two sheets of waxed paper, roll out the dough to an 8-by-14-inch rectangle. Remove the top piece of waxed paper. Trim the edges and use the trimmed dough to fill in where needed, and then, if necessary, re-shape the rectangle. Use the bottom sheet of waxed paper to flip the dough onto the prepared baking pan, and then remove the waxed paper. Place the filling down the center of the dough, leaving about two inches of dough on each side. Use a bench knife or metal spatula to lift the short ends of the dough up over the filling. Do the same with the long ends. Gently pat the dough so it adheres to itself and forms a pretty envelope over the filling. Brush cream or milk over the dough and sprinkle with sugar.———————————————05 Bake until the dough is golden brown and the apples are soft and tender. This takes from 40-45 minutes in my oven. If the dough colors before the apples are done, tent the kuchen with aluminum foil. If the apples seem to be drying out as they bake, dot them with small pieces of unsalted butter. Remove the kuchen from the oven and cool it before cutting and serving. We like it warm, with hard sauce or ice cream. It can be re-warmed in the oven or microwave.This recipe is a variation of one from The Baking Sheet.

Hart backs off aggressive return estimate
PHOENIX -- Brewers first baseman Corey Hart struck a more conservative tone Saturday, one week into the latest phase of his rehabilitation from right knee surgery.
His prediction of an April return might have been too aggressive, Hart conceded.
"I haven't had any setbacks, everything is good and positive, but I don't want to screw up and come back too early before it's ready," Hart said.
Hart had surgery Jan. 25 to repair a meniscus tear and, more significantly, debride the knee joint surface to repair a crack. Doctors induced bleeding to fill in that small gap and predicted a four-month rehab. Hart said at the time he was aiming to shave a month off that timetable.
He had a favorable MRI scan March 8 and abandoned the crutches he'd been using, but has been limited to range-of-motion exercises and strength building since then. Hart has yet to get on a treadmill.
"I still think I can come back a little earlier," Hart said. "I'm definitely optimistic, but I was maybe overshooting when I was talking about playing in April. I probably could; I just might be nervous. Whenever I can do the movements I need to without feeling weak, then I'll have a better idea."
Alex Gonzalez and Taylor Green appear the most likely candidates to fill in at first base, barring an outside acquisition.

Detailed Description:
In this clinical trial subjects are enrolled, who are suffering from pain due to osteoarthritis of the hip or the knee that is not sufficiently controlled with either a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or paracetamol or a weak opioid. This clinical trial tests the pain relieving effectiveness of OROS hydromorphone, a once-daily formulation of a strong opioid against placebo in patients, who previously did not receive any strong opioids. The drug class of opioid analgesics can broadly be classified into strong and weak. Weak opioids (for example tramadol, codeine, dihydrocodeine and tilidine) are useful for mild to moderate pain and the strong opioids (for example morphine, fentanyl and hydromorphone) are useful for moderate to severe pain of different origin. OROS hydromorphone is an opioid, which is available in a prolonged-release tablet in different dosage strengths. The primary aim of the study is to test the efficacy of OROS hydromorphone against placebo at an individual dose sufficient to control the pain and to establish the usefulness of a new low-dose formulation of OROS hydromorphone (4 mg hydromorphone per tablet) for initiating the treatment and for dose titration. The clinical trial tests the effect of the treatment on symptoms of pain, stiffness and physical function. The effect of the treatment on parameters on health related quality of life as well as quality of sleep will be measured. The safety of the treatment will be recorded by measuring blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate.This clinical trial is a placebo-controlled trial, meaning that one group of patients will receive the drug to be tested (OROS hydromorphone) while the control group receives an optically identical tablet with no active ingredient, a so-called placebo. A total number of 270 patients will be enrolled in this clinical trial and assigned to one of two treatment arms at an equal ratio (i.e. 135 patients per treatment). Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment arms, like flipping a coin to decide which treatment they will receive. Neither the patient nor the doctor will know to which of the two treatment arms the patient is assigned to and neither the patient nor the doctor can influence the assignment to the treatment arm. During the whole treatment period paracetamol will be allowed to be taken as needed in case of pain. Medical history and physical exam will be conducted during the screening visit, followed in 1 week by the baseline visit where after completing several questionnaires assessing pain, physical functioning quality of life and sleep quality, the patient will be assigned to one of two treatment groups. After starting the study treatment the patient will visit the doctor 7 times: at week 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 16 and at a follow-up visit after the end of the treatment period at week 16. At week 16 questionnaires will again be completed and the results will be compared to the baseline findings. 4, 8, 12, 16, 24 or 32 mg of OROS hydromorphone tablets or matching placebo tablets taken for 16 weeks. All tablets are taken by mouth at the same time each day in the morning. Tablets have to be swallowed whole without chewing or crushing. After completion of the treatment duration (or at early withdrawal), the study medication is gradually tapered down over a maximum of 6 days.

When Derik Milanesio decided to create a music video on his dairy farm in Strathmore, Calif., last month, he had no idea the attention it would receive. The music video, "Where them cows at," has gone viral. As of Monday, the video has had more than 8,200 views and the number keeps climbing.
Milanesio, herd manager for Frank Pinheiro Dairy, says he got the idea for the video after watching a friend's video on YouTube. His friend is a chicken farmer in Arkansas who made a video about the "chicks" on his farm. "I said I can do better than that," says Milanesio.
With the help of his friend, Marcelo Alves, Milanesio took to filming the video on his farm. The pair spent three days filming in the evenings. Then, six hours on Saturday editing and their first music video was made.
A simple digital video camera and editing software was used. "It wasn't hard to do," says Milanesio.
Milanesio says he is surprised at how quickly the video took off. "We weren't originally planning to share it, but before we knew it had already gone viral," he says.
The other surprising thing, he says, is that the video was spread by the agriculture industry – "it is amazing to see how the agriculture industry is connected." The video has been viewed by people from across the U.S.
Milanesio says there are no immediate plans for more videos but he's not ruling out the possibility, as he and his friend Alves have always wanted to do more.
