Ask a Vet Online – 'My vet says my poodle cross Pom, may have cushings disease what is this please?'
Question from Carol Fogerty
Hi my vet says my poodle cross Pom ,may have cushings disease whot is this please
Answer from Shanika Winters MRCVS, Online Vet
Hi Carol and thank you for asking about Cushing's disease (HAC hyperadrenocorticism) which is a condition where the body makes too much of the steroid cortisol which can result in a variety of symptoms. HAC is most common in middle aged to older dogs but does also affect cats, horses, hamsters and ferrets.
There are three different types of HAC:
Pituitary dependant HAC (PDHAC) is the most common type and this is when a tumour of the pituitary gland in the brain is making too much of a hormone called adrenocotricotrophic hormone (ACTH) this causes the adrenal glands to make too much cortisol.
Adrenal dependant HAC (ADHAC) is less common, this is when a tumour of the adrenal glands causes too much cortisol to be produced.
Iatrogenic HAC (IHAC) is when very high doses of steroid given as medication lead to symptoms of HAC.
What are the signs of HAC?
If your pet is showing some of the following signs then your vet may suspect HAC:
Increased drinking (PD polydypsia), increased urinating (PU polyuria), increased appetite (PP polyphagia), a large rounded low slung abdomen ( tummy), muscle weakness, hair loss on both sides (bilateral symmetrical alopecia), hard areas under the skin due to deposits of the mineral calcium (calcinosis cutis) and dark spots on the skin due to blocked keratin (hair protein) filled hair follicles (comedones).
How do we test for HAC?
There are several blood tests, urine tests and diagnostic imaging tests than can be done to try and make a diagnosis of HAC:
- Routine blood tests in cases of HAC may show up increased levels of liver enzymes, increased cholesterol, increased blood glucose (blood sugar) and also changes to the white blood cell numbers.
- Routine urine tests may show an increase in glucose, white blood cells and protein.
More specific tests for HAC include:
- Urine creatinine: cortisol ratio, here a urine sample collected from your pet is sent to a laboratory for analysis, abnormal results are found in cases of HAC but can also suggest diabetes, liver disease or womb infection (pyometra).
- ACTH stimulation test, this is a set of blood tests in which a blood sample is taken from your pet, an injection of artificial ACTH is given into a vein (blood vessel) and 1-2 hours later another blood sample is collected. The laboratory results are abnormal in approximately 80% of dogs with HAC, this test is also often used to monitor dogs on treatment for HAC.
- Plasma cortisol level, this is a blood test which directly measure the level of cortisol in the blood , the blood sample has to be treated very carefully and sent to the lab quickly so as to get an accurate result.
- Ultrasound scan of the abdomen can be used to check the size of the adrenal glands (found next to the kidneys), look for a tumour and assess the other abdominal organs. IN PDHAC the adrenal glands are usually normal size or slightly enlarged with ADHAC the adrenal glands are usually different sizes, the large irregular gland being the one with the tumour.
- Low and High dose dexamethasone suppression test (LDDST & HDDST) are blood tests where the effect of artificial steroid on the adrenal glands is measured, the results can sometimes help tell apart PDHAC form ADHAC.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and computed tomography (CT) scans can be performed at referral centres to help in the diagnosis of HAC and also tell which type it is.
How is HAC treated?
Trilostane is a tablet with blocks a step in the production of cortisol in your pet's adrenal glands therefore decreasing the amount of cortisol in your pet's body.
Mitotane is another tablet which works by destroying the parts of the adrenal glands that produce cortisol.
Surgery to remove the actual tumours can be performed usually at referral centres.
Trilostane and mitotane are the most commonly used treatments for HAC, they are effective on both PDHAC and ADHAC and your pet should have regular blood tests to monitor that the dose given is correct for your pet. Too much medication for HAC can lead to symptoms of Addison's disease (Hypoadrenocorticism) where there is not enough cortisol which includes dehydration, depression, diarrhoea and lethargy (weakness).
I hope that my answer has given you some useful information about HAC, the exact test done on your pet will need to be discussed with your vet. The aim of treating your pet is to reduce the signs of HAC to improve your pet's quality of life and is best achieved by working closely with your vet.

I don't know what it is about Sunday. Where once there was a family dinner, now there is solitary reflection in front of an empty screen. From the perspective of practice, when I look around these days, what is it about Italian wine that seems to have become an endless catwalk of the richest, biggest and most obvious? Standing in line, waiting to talk to a wine buyer last week, I was thumbing through a pile of wine reviews and noticed how the wines that were getting all the accolades ( read: 94 points and above) seemed to be these shorn up, beef-caked, tag-team wines that more resemble porn stars than classics. Who is putting these wines in their cellars, let alone their goblets?
When did the search for the Shangri-La of wine go so off track? The history of Italian wine shows us that it was built up over the ages by the monastics, who took care to keep the light burning through some dark and dreary days. Nothing so glamorous then, working the fields in the dark, at 4:00 AM in the biting cold. Year after year. With no love, save the Divine Love, to keep the solitary worker in the field, hopeful for a better day. Hope and faith. Not arrogance.
I went through a wine collection yesterday, one that has been in the works for 30 years. In it many of the bottles were created by people that are long gone. Some of the newer wines, one in particular, A Super Tuscan from a producer in Montalcino, struck me. I don't know what the owner will do with the wine. It has too much power to be enjoyed. It's too noisy, wants to lead but doesn't really need a partner to dance with. I'd say to put it in the 'drink now' bin, but I'm not sure it will ever be ready to drink.
I spied a few California wines, some which were blockbusters in their day, now shuffling off to the veteran's home, no fire left in them. Maybe that is where these over-promising and under-delivering Super Tuscans will end up. Which seems like a waste of the Tuscan land which wrought them from the ground.
Whether it is Tuscany or Campania, Sicily or Friuli, Italian wines are at a crossroads. They have fashioned themselves to be these worldly wines in a universe of other worldly wines, all competing for the attention of the same buyer. And those buyers are looking for the next big thing, whether it is an Ovid from Napa or a Mollydooker or God knows what. Why? When did Ferrari seek to emulate General Motors? Or Ducati chase after Harley Davidson? Still, Italian wine chases after the Shangri La wine crowd.
And if an Italian wine becomes a landmark, say a Sassicaia or a Bric dël Fiasc, does that really lead them (and the rest of us) into the Promised Land? How does it go, for what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
And if the Italian wine succeeds in becoming the king pin of all wines, then what? Defending a territory that for all purposes doesn't exist in Italy? That would be the fitting punishment for succeeding in looking away from all that is unique and indigenously wonderful in many of the wines of Italy. It's not too late to turn back, some of the young winemakers have looked beyond marketing and their Upper West Side flats to embrace their soil. Not glam, but sans arrogance. We can only hope. And work to help those who see this as a time to return to their winemaking as an act of selflessness and true vocation. Sounds almost ecclesiastic. Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Then all we'd have to do would be to figure out what to do with all these monstrous wines lying around.

Don Sharp, director of a series of lavish and tastefully brutal horror films for Hammer Productions in the 1960s, has died at the age of 89. No cause for grief here; Sharp had a long and varied career. He worked with such actors as Deborah Kerr, Vanessa Redgrave, Donald Sutherland and Lee Remick on numerous projects, and was really a jack of all trades in the film business.
Still, as Dave Rattigan points out in the Gather website, "fans of Sharp's era in British filmmaking, especially Hammer horror afficianados, will rue his passing as one more of the old school sadly dying off, leaving few stalwarts behind. Don Sharp belongs up there with names such as Terence Fisher (Dracula, Prince of Darkness), Freddie Francis (Dracula Has Risen from the Grave) and Roy Ward Baker (Quatermass and the Pit) as one of the legends of the British Gothic horror genre." Fisher, Francis — a dear friend of mine — and Baker are all gone now; if you click on the links above, you'll see clips from some of their Hammer films.
The poster above is from Kiss of the Vampire, one of Sharp's most accomplished films; click here, or on the image above to see a clip from the film itself, which was heavily censored upon its initial release, and still plays in cut form — in some cases — on television to this day.

Topic: It's not a cure, but stable is good.
It has been quite a while since I have posted. My husband became very sick while on chemotherapy last summer and ended up in the local hospital for ten days. When we followed up with our doctor at MUSC, we found out that a second tumor had appeared since May - while we were on a chemo cycle. All chemotherapy was stopped, and the doctor told us that with the appearance of a second tumor, that we would no longer be considered a candidate for resection, even if the first tumor shrank away from the hepatic artery and the portal vein.
We were fortunate enough to be enrolled in a clinical trial through MUSC: http://prc.hcc.musc.edu/portal/cto/Clin … RAM=PhaseI He was the second to enroll, and he has been taking one pill a day (a sphingolipid compound) since the end of September. He has had two CT scans since then-- one in December and one this week-- both tumors remain unchanged, and no new growths have appeared.
LIke I said in my heading, it isn't a cure, but we can live with this. He has no side-effects from the one-pill dose, and his mood is much better. When he was diagnosed May 25, 2010, he was told he had 1-2 years to live. We were so excited to find out that we are going to beat that prognosis!
For anyone interested...they are now beginning to enroll people for the two-pill-a-day level.

He released the latest "episode" yesterday, and this one has a video. I was pretty pumped at first, and, well.. Just give it a watch.
This oddly filmed short video is probably the first time I've had visual representation during a Kavinsky track. This is to say, I can see where Kavinsky was going with this. Even though it has its R. Kelly is Trapped in the Closet moments, it's able to keep you watching what would be a pretty dull chase scene without the music.
Or maybe I'm fanboying too hard and my judgement is clouded. I should explain why this is a big deal.
It took me time and dedication to realize what Kavinsky was doing. He doesn't just say "oh look, this is a story so hear it out and put it together". No, he just leaves it there and lets you realize on your own.
The gist of the story is he crashes his Ferrari Testarossa in 1986 while trying to evade the police (I think), he dies, he tells his girlfriend he's dead (Nightcall) and, well I've been confused from that point on because just about every track is instrumental. Much like today's, which has a video.
Now, with this release, even the title gives a clear idea on what's gonna happen, especially when put up next to the video. Whatever happens next, Kavinsky is gonna be Outrun-ing with his ghost car. It might not be much of a story, but I'm happy it's there.
Outrun's release is set for early 2013, but early is a relative term so I'm hoping it'll release by February. I'm excited.

Subtle - Australia

Very subtle cinnamon flavour that doesn't clump and easily mxes into shakes.
foodonamission发表于 12月 09, 2013 | 已验证购买
I love all the About Time proteins and this was no exception. I loved the flavour; at times I wished it was a bit more cinnamon-y but I just added extra cinnamon, that subtle flavour lent well to combining it with fruits and veggies in smoothies.
Great product
iHerb 客户发表于 4月 04, 2015 | 已验证购买
Mild cinnamon flavor, an excellent product otherwise. Not overly sweet. Mixes well, great taste.
great flavor, no icky ingredients
iHerb 客户发表于 2月 27, 2011 | 已验证购买
I love that this protein powder contains no artificial sweeteners. For me, that makes it easier to digest. I wish the cinnamon flavor were a wee bit stronger; however, I just add more cinnamon! Actually, it is probably good that the cinnamon is not too strong; that way, everyone can adjust it to taste. If you need more protein in your diet or just need a good post-workout protein boost, give this a try.

Made Customer Services, 28 Jan 2013
1. The Abingdon modules do not connect together with any structural parts but will stay firmly in place due to the weight of each module. 2. The Abingdon range is available only with fixed covers, if you need a sofa with loose covers perhaps you might consider our 'Newark' corner sofa.

Stephen Fischer, 36, of rural Hershey was convicted Tuesday after he pleaded no contest to two counts of first-degree forcible sexual assault.
Fischer was arrested more than a year ago, after a child accused him of sexual assault on at least three occasions.
The charges against Fischer were modified somewhat in a plea agreement with the County Attorneys Office. Previously, he was charged with sexual assault of a child instead of forcible sexual assault against someone who cannot defend themselves.
The case began on Sept. 12, 2011, when Lincoln County deputies responded to a report from a child under the age of 12. Deputies interviewed at the child at the Bridge of Hope Child Advocacy Center with the assistance of Nebraska Health and Human Services. The next day, deputies obtained a warrant, searched Fischers home and arrested him.
Fischers bond was set at $300,000, ($100,000 for each count.) Lincoln County Judge Kent Turnbull told him not to have any contact with minors and to wear a GPS tracking device if he paid bond. Fischer posted 10 percent a week later and was released.
Fischer is the brother of the now deceased Daniel Fischer, 43, who was arrested in Aprial 2011 for nine counts of child molestation and later killed himself. Daniels wife Deanna was also arrested and charged with complicity. Later, a charge of sexual assault was filed against Deanna. She was scheduled to enter a plea for sexual assault Tuesday but the arraignment date was postponed.
Also in district court Tuesday:
William Theus, 25, was convicted of misdemeanor assault after he pled no contest to the charge. Theus and his brother Calvin were arrested in late April in the alleged beating of a North Platte couple, ages 44 and 53.
The brothers were originally arrested for third-degree assault, but the charges were increased to first-degree after police received medical reports that the victims, ages 44 and 53, suffered serious bodily injury, Police Spokesman Troy Erickson said at the time.
In court, Defense Attorney Amanda Speichert said William was defending Calvin. Calvin is now charged with first- and second-degree aggravated assault. He is in jail on a $12,500 bond.
On July 3, William was arrested for probation violation and intent to deliver a controlled substance. Those charges are still pending.
William as released on his own recognizance, with a $5,000 penalty if he fails to return to court.
In other district court action:
Christopher Gonzales, 29, of North Platte pleaded guilty to tampering with a witness. The Lincoln County Attorneys Office dismissed charges of assault by mutual consent and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors. Gonzales was sentenced to 95 days, the time he has served in jail since his arrest, and he was released.
Alexis Harlow, 18, of North Platte pleaded no contest to third-degree assault. Harlow was arrested July 22 for conking her dad with a glass ashtray during a family disagreement. A pre-sentence investigation was ordered and she will be back for sentencing Nov. 19.
Kasino Moore, 29, of Cozad, faced a charge of theft, but his case continued until Nov. 12.

Urinary and Genital Disorders (Children)
Leaking in 6 Year Old After Voiding
My 6 year old leaks urine after voiding. This has been the case ever since she was toilet trained. She is very uncomfortable with this! How can this problem be solved?
There are two common causes of this problem, which is generally termed vaginal voiding. The most common cause is that the child sits with their legs together, compressing the labia together and some of the urine goes backwards into the vagina. When they stand up, the urine dribbles out. To prevent this problem, the legs should be widely separated over the toilet. One common technique to teach girls how to sit is to have them sit backwards on the toilet seat, which forces the legs to separate. The second cause is a labial adhesion, in which there is fusion of the labia minora. This condition is diagnosed by examining the labia while the child is lying on her back in a frog-leg position. When the labia are separated, the urethral and vaginal openings should be easily visible; if they are not visible, then a labial adhesion may be present. This condition often is treatable with topical estrogen or corticosteroid cream, and occasionally by separation in the office or operating room.

Dental Anesthesia
Possible Epinephrine Sensitivity
I have recently been diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia which is now under reasonable control and had extensive restorative work with an inability to obtain effective anesthesia without using an agent containing epinephrine. In the last 3 months after 4 long procedures (2 root canals 2 crowns)I had a hypoglycemic reaction with each visit with the severity decreasing each time. My dentist is afraid that the epi in the local is making this worse and that I`m sensitive/having an adverse reaction, but without it(epi in the agent)I won`t numb. Any recommendations would be helpful as I still have outstanding work but won`t be seen unless it`s an emergency situation.
Thank you for your question. It would seem that there are two possible explanations for your symptoms. One is that anxiety can precipitate hypoglycemia with your condition a "fight or flight" response as associated with anxiety activates an adrenaline response which increases blood sugar levels. With your reactive hypoglycemia, you may have an overactive insulin response to compensate. Could the epinephrine (adrenaline) in local anesthetic solution do the same thing?
Personally, I think the doses that are taken up in your system are probably from one or two cartridges of dental local anesthetic are very unlikely to be problematic. It would seem anxiety might be the most likely cause. You are probably concerned about a hypoglycemic episode, which is understandable.
One thing you may want to consider is the use of low dose epinephrine local anesthetic solutions, such as 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epi and 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:200,000 epi. If the epinephrine in local anesthetic is the culprit, these anesthetics have half the usual dose of epinephrine. It may be better to do as you always do and eat small meals more frequently and perhaps monitor your blood sugar after dental treatment. If anxiety seems a likely cause, mild sedation with an oral sedative or possibly nitrous oxide (laughing gas) may be beneficial. Discuss these options with your dentist and see what he or she feels is the best approach. Good luck

Now entering our third (and final) week of strength training content on A Challenge to Change, and you should be getting stronger every day!
Remember that our challenge this period involves strength training. We've already covered upper and lower body training, but thus far missed one important aspect of health and fitness: core strength.
The core refers to the muscles that attach to the spine and provide protection (along with the rib cage) to your organs - they are your abdominal muscles! Among other things, the muscles of the core provide stability and strength to hold your body upright with good posture. Core muscles include abdominals, hip flexors and rotators, shoulders and lower and upper back.
Some define core strength as the ability to maintain alignment of the middle of the body during movement, in order to enhance the efficiency of your arms and legs, further from the center of your body.
In other words, it's the ability to maintain strength and balance during movement even when your arms and legs are moving through various athletic motions. A stronger core directly affects your upper and lower halves.
Whether you are a runner, walker, biker, or literally any other athlete or person who exercises, core strength plays a direct role in all of your movements and can promote athleticism and strength in doing so.
More than just improved athleticism, injury prevention is another benefit of core training. For example, joint pain is something that is common to bikers, runners, and many other athletes. Some forms of chronic joint pain are the result of poor alignment of your knee and ankle during a running stride, or a bicycle stroke.
Strengthening the muscles of the hip and buttocks can help maintain this proper alignment and reduce stress on the knee joint by easing the pressure placed on your joints - and that, in turn, allows you to run, bike, and follow other exercise plans with a significantly lesser risk of chronic injury and pain.
Just like upper- and lower-body weight lifting, it's important to do core training exercises several times a week and make it a part of your consistent exercise regimen to develop strength and improve your posture.
While core exercises can come in many areas - Pilates, yoga, strength training and many more - the end result is (hopefully) the same: a stronger core which translates to a stronger overall body that will more efficiently handle various exercises and training patterns!
The video this week provides three core exercises to get you started. Once you've built up a safe and consistent base, the Mayo Clinic provides a good slideshow - with visuals - to help you develop a few more difficult exercises that will promote further muscle growth.

Our area young thespians have entertained thousands of audience members over the years.
Many of their performances have headlined energetic productions, from modern musicals like "Seussical" and "Schoolhouse Rock Live" to classic fare like "Anything Goes" and "Guys and Dolls."
One reason for all of these upbeat choices is audiences and young actors like upbeat shows. But the other reason is that schools are often not able to take on productions with more mature language or themes because it may not be age-appropriate. When a local young thespian group does take on a more serious production, however, it can be all the more emotional to see dramatic moments enacted by a more innocent cast.
Such is the case at Geauga Lyric Theatre Guild in Chardon this weekend, as director Angela Miloro-Hansen has shepherded a Holocaust-themed work to the stage that is chock full of young thespians. The reason for the choice is that the production tells a story on stage that only children could tell.
This teen production is entitled "I Never Saw Another Butterfly," and it is based on a true story of a journey a teen and a young woman take as they are imprisoned in the Terezin concentration camp during World War II. Fifteen thousand children passed through the camp, but only 100 survived.
Performances will be at Geauga Theater at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday. The cast will perform for local schools during the following week and will culminate the production in the Brickner Auditorium at Fairmount Temple at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
Betty Gold, a Holocaust survivor, will be a special guest at the Fairmount Temple and will answer questions from the stage after the performance. Fairmount Temple is at 23737 Fairmount Road in Beachwood.
Chardon performances will be at the Geauga Theater on Chardon Square at 101 Water St. Public shows are $5, with reserved seats at Geauga Theater. Tickets are general admission and available at the door at Fairmount Temple. For more information, visit www.geaugatheater.org. Questions may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 440-286-2255.
In conjunction with the play, a traveling exhibit entitled "From the Children, About the Children, For the Children -- Art of the Holocaust" will be on display. The exhibit is on loan from The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education through a grant from the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.
Director Angela Miloro-Hansen took the art connection one step further, inspired by the Houston Holocaust Museum's "The Butterfly Project." That effort collected 1.5 million butterflies to represent all the children who perished in the Holocaust. Miloro-Hansen decided to initiate a collection of 15,000 butterflies to represent the children that passed through the Terezin concentration camp, the focus of the play.
Miloro-Hansen says she would have "been impressed to reach 5,000." She should have known better than that in the age of social media.
Once information about the project spread through conversation, posters and Facebook, the butterflies began to trickle in. Before long, butterflies were arriving from Chardon Middle School, St. Mary's, Girl Scout troops, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin, Burton Public Library, and even beyond Ohio. The cast and crew of the play worked on a large portion of the butterflies at home and during rehearsals.
The goal of 15,000 was met within several weeks, and now there are over 17,000. They will all be on display during performances.
"There are a lot!" Miloro-Hansen admits. "I am moved by the outpouring. The turnout was overwhelming. We appreciate all the effort."
The effort put into this one aspect of the production doesn't even encompass the overall workload required of the cast in order to portray this level of material. But Miloro-Hansen thought they were ready.
"With this being the fourth year of Teen Drama, we have grown immensely and have several school day performances," she said. "Many of the teachers we spoke with wanted a Holocaust drama to coincide with their lessons, so we landed on this show. We wanted something different from Anne Frank, something that showed another point of view of the Holocaust. Like Anne Frank, 'Butterfly' is a true story, but takes place within the camp itself.
Miloro-Hansen says the results have been unlike any other she has undertaken.
"I have delved into heavy dramas in the past like Anne Frank and 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' " Miloro-Hansen said. "However, the research involved in this show has been astronomical. I wanted to make sure I knew and understood what I was getting into, and the cast did.
"My very young cast, ages 10-19, gathered multiple times not to rehearse, but just to talk about the Holocaust."
Sarah Wyatt is a 19-year-old from Hambden who plays Irena Synkova, She has been around, having performed at Geauga Lyric for 11 years.
"This experience has really brought reality to the stage," Wyatt said. "Just the amount of research, discussions and trips, has set this show apart from any other I've been involved in. The subject matter is one that is incredibly important, and the passion to tell the story and help people understand is seen throughout every person involved. This experience has been one full of emotion, learning, and hard work more than I've seen put into any show.
"We hope to put on a marvelous and touching performance, but most of all we hope to keep alive the memories of these people that survived and perished during the Holocaust, never to forget."
Halle Blados is a 16-year-old homeschooled student from Chester Township who has participated in workshops and productions at Geauga Lyric since 2010. Like Wyatt, Halle has found this experience unique.
"The amount of emotion and character depth in 'Butterfly' has made a stronger impact on me than any other production I have participated in," Halle said. "I've dug deeper than ever before in my studies to learn about my character -- how she would have lived before and during World War II and the Holocaust, how she might have coped with the restrictions put upon her and her family-- and in turn, I've gained a very strong connection with the show.
"Every play I have been a part of has taught me to be a better actor, but 'Butterfly' has taught me so much more -- the reality of the Holocaust and the people in it, the dangers of discrimination, and the importance of standing strong in difficult times."
"It has been hard simply to watch my cast rehearse this," Miloro-Hansen admits. "Many of them I've known since they were very little. When I hear them say these words and walk through the blocking every night, they are so convincing and real that it makes it even harder to process.
"The show really makes you think," she continued. "It was also very difficult to begin to start talking to them about the Holocaust. I didn't sugar coat anything, and I made sure they knew that before auditions. But it's one thing to say, 'Ooh, it will be a difficult show,' and another to actually sitting down a group of kids and not holding back in talking to them about the horrors of the Holocaust.
"They have absorbed the information and are really respectful to the subject, and have been doing research on their own and really preparing for the show."
"I Never Saw Another Butterfly" takes flight this weekend.

UAL Faces Turbulence Overhead
Since United Continental Holdings (UAL) formed in 2010, the soon-to-be world's biggest airline has endured its share of slings and arrows. A series of technical gaffes related to the merger of United with the former Continental Airlines has embarrassed the company, resulting in major service interruptions.
United has also been dogged by a perceived drop in the quality of the company's service. Many former Continental frequent flyers (including yours truly) feel they are paying premium prices for service that is no longer elite....429 more words left in this article.

Eaton placed on DL with strained oblique
Center fielder will undergo MRI when White Sox return to Chicago
SEATTLE -- Adam Eaton's first year with the White Sox has been an unqualified success.
He has produced a .304 average, a .370 on-base percentage, has reached base in 48 of his last 53 games and has posted a .424 average over his last 23 games. He also has anchored the team's outfield defense in center.
About the only thing missing from Eaton's White Sox resume is the ablility to stay healthy during the course of the 2014 campaign. Eaton was placed on the disabled list Saturday with a strained right oblique, joining a list of injuries that include a broken right middle finger, a right hamstring strain and a bruised lower back, which have limited him to 94 games.
That bruised lower back came from Eaton crashing into a post on the U.S. Cellular Field right-center-field wall during the second inning of Wednesday's loss to the Rangers while tracking an Adam Rosales' home run. Eaton believes the oblique strain happened during a swing in his first inning and only at-bat Friday against Hisashi Iwakuma, but the wall collision was thought to be a contributing factor and another valuable lesson learned in regard to controlling his high-energy, all-out style of play.
"My wife, we had a discussion about it this morning. She says this kind of [stinks], but it's all about learning," Eaton said. "I learned a lot from Brett Butler as a Triple-A manager. He sent me a text this morning, saying you learn every day and you continue to learn.
"He always tells the story that he got picked off so many times he has the Atlanta record for being picked off, but then he comes and is one of the best base-stealers in the last 40-50 years. You learn every day, and what you learn today will help you tomorrow and help you in the long career we hope to have."
Eaton promised to be more cautious around the outfield, just as he already has stopped sliding head-first into first base, which he had done earlier this season. Eaton and the White Sox plan to have a MRI on the problem area when they return to Chicago. Despite the trickiness of oblique injuries, he hopes to be back at the end of this DL stint.
"I want to be out with these guys. I want to try and produce as well as I can and stay healthy doing that," Eaton said. "Running into the wall is not healthy. Running into the wall is playing the game hard, playing the game the right way, but it was just an error in judgment on my part and it [stinks] that's how I got hurt or how I may have gotten hurt.
"We'll take the 15 days and we'll get back and stay healthy the rest of the year. I hope the White Sox don't think this is going to be a trend. It's definitely not going to be a trend. I'm going to get back, be healthy and stay healthy hopefully for a long career with the White Sox. Hopefully we can start that trend, staying healthy and playing a whole season as a healthy baseball player and being productive at the same time."

A pair of Air Force F-22 pilots from Virginia's Langley Air Force Base is swapping the air for the airwaves Sunday night, explaining to CBS' 60 Minutes why they've opted not to continue flying the F-22, the Air Force's hottest fighter. Major Jeremy Gordon and Captain Josh Wilson detail their concerns – shared by other Raptor drivers – that the aircraft doesn't guarantee them sufficient oxygen.
Is the F-22 safe to fly? "I'm not comfortable answering that question," Gordon responds. "I'm not comfortable flying in the F-22 right now." Hypoxia – a lack of oxygen that has persisted in the F-22 despite vain Air Force probes to figure out why – is dangerous. "The onset," Gordon says, "is insidious."
Wilson tells Lesley Stahl of his dogfight against hypoxia during an F-22 flight last year. "It was…kind of a surreal experience," he says, taking "immense concentration" to perform simple tasks. Pulling an emergency oxygen ring proved daunting: "I couldn't find it. I couldn't remember what part of the aircraft it was in."
That apparently was the challenge facing Air Force Captain Jeff Haney, who experienced breathing problems before his fatal F-22 crash in Alaska in 2010. The Air Force blamed Haney, and not his F-22, for the crash.
All of this is embarrassing to the Air Force, which bought 179 operational F-22s for more than $400 million each. Designed to combat the next-generation of Soviet fighters – which never materialized – the planes have sat on the tarmac despite the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya raging in the skies above them. They have no role in today's wars, and by the time there's someone to battle, they'll be obsolete.
In the seven months since the grounded F-22 was returned to flight – after experts could not pinpoint the source of the breathing problems – there have been 11 more cases of hypoxia reported.
That's fairly rare, but as these pilots step into the limelight, one thing is clear: another mysterious crash and the F-22 could be in a steep dive from which recovery may prove impossible.

This is a timely article originally published in AsiaOne - 07 May, 2009
'Freed' animals face death...
Releasing animals into the nature reserves and reservoirs is a well-meaning act, but it may have adverse effects on the ecological balance in our nature reserves and parks, as well as the water quality of our reservoirs.
As Vesak Day approaches, the National Parks Board (NParks) and PUB, the national water agency, has issued a statement reminding the public not to release animals into nature reserves and reservoirs.
Ms Sharon Chan, Assistant Director at NParks, explains, "Most people do not realise that releasing animals means sending them to their deaths. One recent incident I encountered was the release of a few soft-shell terrapins. They were not equipped to survive in the wild, and died on that very day.
Should these animals harbour viruses, they will contaminate the water and affect other native wildlife. We want to appeal to everyone to refrain from releasing your pets or animals into the wild."
Mr Chan Chow Teing, PUB's Senior Deputy Director of Catchment and Waterways, adds, "As the fishes and animals may not be able to survive on their own, releasing them not only affects the ecosystem but also the reservoirs' water quality.
Although treating the water for drinking water supply is not an issue, it is important to keep the waters clean for aesthetic and recreational reasons, so that everyone can continue to enjoy activities at our reservoirs and parks."
Ms Angie Monksfield, President of Buddhist Fellowship, further clarifies the link between Buddhism and kindness towards animals, "Being kind to animals is one of the core practices in Buddhism. However, freeing animals into the wild, especially those that have been bred in captivity, is not necessarily a kind act as these animals would be easy prey for predators.
In some cases, they end up disrupting the ecosystem, thus affecting native animals in their habitat and in turn being cruel to the existing animals in the wild. Buying trapped animals to free them will also encourage the trade, causing more animals to be trapped. Instead, kindness towards animals can be achieved by reducing or eradicating the consumption of all kinds of meat, adopting and caring for animals from shelters, helping injured animals and preserving their natural habitats."
To remind the public not to release animals, members of Buddhist Fellowship, school students and volunteers from all walks of life will be distributing brochures and putting up posters at MacRitchie Reservoir Park, Lower and Upper Peirce Reservoir during the last two weekends of May.
In addition, the students of Raffles Girls' School will be designing educational posters and putting them up at MacRitchie Reservoir Park's bandstand.
Wondering what your thoughts are...

Bill Gates Says "No" to Second Coming, Ballmer Discusses "New Era" for Microsoft
Jason Mick
October 10, 2012 12:54 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Meanwhile Ballmer looks to pump shareholders up with a letter emphasizing Microsoft's success
When a more mature Steve Jobs came back to Apple, Inc. (
), he
revitalized the company he co-founded
as a rebellious youth. Millions of iPods, iPhones, and iPhones later, Apple is the
world's most valuable company
in terms of market cap. Meanwhile, Apple's perennial rival Microsoft Corp. (
) is struggle not for want of user, but for a
faltering brand image
. Some say that Bill Gates -- the man who founded Microsoft and drove it to its initial success -- should return.
I. Bill Gates: No Comeback for me
But at his keynote at the
Abu Dhabi Media Summit 2012
-- a leadership conference -- Bill Gates all but ruled out a return, saying his focus was on
his philanthropic work
, and it would remain that way. He
Steve Jobs did a phenomenal piece of work. Apple, most people would have expected, were on their way going out of business. He had run Apple since it was a tiny company and then he came back in and made incredibly valuable. It's a phenomenal business story and I thought Walter Isaacson did a good job catching that in the book. Steve and I were friends, competitors – we were a lot of different things. It was amazing what he did.
I'm now committed full time to my foundation work and I give about 15% of my time as Chairman of Microsoft. Microsoft is moving ahead with Windows 8 that combines the best of tablet with PC. This month the very first hardware based on that idea including Microsoft's own Surface will ship. So there's a lot of exciting stuff ahead in software and I didn't retire from Microsoft because I thought things were getting boring. In fact a lot of best ideas- the vision of artificial intelligence and robots are still ahead but i did decide the philanthropic world was where my contribution would be more unique and so thats what I'll work on full time for the rest of my life.
Bill Gates says "no" to a Microsoft comeback. [Image Source: Flickr/Bill Gates]
Some people will be disappointed that Mr. Gates is resisting a comeback.
II. Steve Ballmer: Microsoft is Strong
But Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is convinced no comeback is necessary. He insists that the image that Microsoft lacks creativity is badly out of date. In
a letter to shareholders
, he brags that 1.3 billion people worldwide use Windows and that there are 8 million active Windows app developers.
The boisterous chief executive is bullish on
Windows 8 tablets
Windows Phone 8
, bringing a unified Windows experience across mobile and traditional computing devices.
Microsoft has
, particularly when it
comes to Windows 8
. But as Mr. Ballmer puts it:
For fiscal year 2012, revenue grew to a record $73.7 billion. We also maintained strong cost discipline resulting in cash flow from operations of $31.6 billion, an increase of 17 percent from the prior year. In addition, we returned $10.7 billion to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends.
In other words financially Microsoft shows little sign of being a "dying" brand as some opinion pieces have claims.
Windows 8 is a huge risk. But Steve Ballmer is convinced it will pay off, even as Bill Gates watches -- permanently -- from the sidelines.

Art teacher Marion Rayner loves art and her enthusiasm is a gift to the children she teaches. Tomorrow there will be hundreds of framed art pieces at Center School in Stow for the annual Arts Buffet. This year, the school is trying to raise funds to replace the broken kiln. Framed art can be purchased for $29.95 plus tax, with 20% of the sales going directly to the "Kiln Fund." If you would prefer to donate directly to the fund, you can make out a check to "Stow PTO" and write "Kiln Fund" in the memo line.
Even though a snowstorm is theoretically possible, twelve years ago we were socked with 25.4 inches from the famous April Fools' Day Blizzard, the fact that Erikson's Dairy opens today at noon bodes well for those of us who are tired of Winter. Erikson's is by no means the only spot around for the traditional warm weather treat. Dairy Joy in nearby Hudson and Weston as well as Kimball Farm in Westford and Carlisle are also worth exploring.
Contributed by Phoebe Haberkorn and reprinted with permission of The Stow Independent.
I had the pleasure of interviewing late Stow resident Mrs. Dorothy Leggett some years ago. She shared the story of how her husband, Charles, came to develop the now ubiquitous squash we know as the butternut. Some of us love it, others can't stand it. It's a requisite side dish at many of our holiday meals, and appears on the table all winter long, but most of us don't know that the butternut squash was first grown right here in Stow.
The man who reportedly first developed the butternut squash, Charles A. Leggett, was neither a farmer nor a scientist, according to his widow, Dorothy. Leggett bought a house in Stow in the late 1930's because his father wasn't well, she said, and the doctor recommended that he spend more time outdoors. It wasn't the easiest move for Leggett, who had lived most of his life in Milton, because as an officer of the John Hancock Life Insurance Company, he had to commute into Boston every day. He hadn't planned on having as much as 94 acres of land with the house he bought, but "that was what he could find at the time. It was hard to find a house in the country," Mrs. Leggett commented.
Leggett hadn't planned on growing crops, either, but he "hated to see land lying idle," and wanted to make a little money from the property he had. Mrs. Leggett said he rented out the fields for a time, "but you don't make any money that way," and then tried growing corn. The corn didn't do too well, however, and many other growers in the area were already supplying corn to the market. Leggett cast about for a different crop, and somehow got started with squash.
According to Mrs. Leggett, it was during the mid 1940's that Leggett developed the butternut squash, after crossing the gooseneck squash with other varieties. Gooseneck squash were long and gangly, and difficult to transport because of their irregular shape. Another common squash at the time, the Hubbard squash, was very large, with a hard skin and flesh that was also hard to cut. Leggett wanted something smaller than a Hubbard squash, with a compact, regular form and flesh that was easier to prepare.
"He tried out crops in the field between the houses," a ¼-acre plot between the Leggett house on Gleasondale Road and the next house down. He first grew the butternut strain of squash there "in the little garden bed," according to Mrs. Leggett. After the trials, when he had collected enough seed, Leggett planted "the fields" – some 35 acres, which were located across Gleasondale Road from the house – all in butternut squash.
During the years of World War II, from 1942 to 1945, Leggett faced some challenges, as many farmers did. Mrs. Leggett said he had been able to get a new tractor, but had trouble getting gas, as everyone did, due to rationing. "You could get farm gas, to raise food," she added, "but one guy on the rations board came down and said, 'You're wasting too much gas, you're driving your tractor too slowly.' Charlie told him he couldn't drive it any faster, because the field was full of rocks. He said, 'This is the last tractor I could get in New England. If I wreck it, I'll be done for.'" The official let him have the gas he needed.
Eventually, Leggett took his squash to the Waltham Field Station to show them what he'd developed and ask advice. "That's how the Waltham people got into it," Mrs. Leggett said with a chuckle. "They were enchanted" with the new variety of squash, she said, though they were skeptical that the strain would hold for repeated production.
They also told Leggett he needed a name for the new squash. Saying the squash was "smooth as butter and sweet as a nut," Leggett decided to call it the butternut squash. Since then, it has sometimes been identified as the Waltham Butternut Squash, "and it really wasn't," asserted Mrs. Leggett. However, "back in those days, you didn't get any credit and there was no way to register or license something like that."
Though Leggett didn't receive credit or remuneration for the squash he originated, Mrs. Leggett said he was always proud of having developed it. He regarded it as "just a gift of the gods" since it resulted haphazardly from his experiments. Leggett enjoyed collecting and sharing butternut squash recipes, and often brought butternut squashes as gifts for people he visited. Mrs. Leggett said he also went to hotels in Boston and gave squash to the chefs to try out. "He would bring in bushels of squash" to places like the Parker House Hotel "and say, 'just save me the seeds'," she noted.
Mr. Leggett died in the late 1980's at the age of 88, while his widow, Dorothy, continued to live for many years afterward in the family farmhouse which still stands on Gleasondale Road. The view, however, has changed. When the Page family purchased a parcel of Leggett's land in the early 1990's, they developed a golf course, naming it in honor of the squash first produced there years ago. Butternut Farm Golf Club now exists on the fields that once supported a rogue new vegetable, the butternut squash.

Jim Jasinski and Celeste Welty, Ohio State University, have been reporting on the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) for a few years, and this past growing season they saw significant pressure in a few soybean fields (see the 2012-27 issue of CORN). In addition to being found in field crops, fruit and vegetable fields, these stink bugs are also known to invade homes, apartments, businesses, barns, and other man-made structures in the fall. To see an updated map of where BMSB has been detected in Ohio crops, follow this link: http://www.oardc.ohio-state.edu/BMS/viewdata.asp. Because detections in buildings often precedes invasion in nearby crop fields, it is important to collect reports of stink bugs inside buildings.
While finding these bugs in homes may be unsettling to residents, reporting the finds does allow us to get a clearer picture of their distribution in Ohio. If you see BMSB this winter or spring in your home or other structure, use this OSUE site to report it: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/bmsb. The report form has 11 questions regarding location, number of insects, time of invasion, and contact information.
BMSB can be identified by alternating black and white bands on the antennae, and black and white bands along the edge of the abdomen that shows under the wings, as well as faint black and white banding on the legs (images can be found at our Ag Crops Insects page under the soybean tab, http://entomology.osu.edu/ag/). To confirm the presence of BMSB, please send your contact information along with a few dead specimens in a tissue padded pill box or other small container to: BMSB ID Program, OSU Extension, 1512 S. US Highway 68, Suite B100, Urbana, OH 43078.
As this new pest expands across Ohio, it is critical to understand its distribution to target future scouting and management. OSU will run its Ohio Soybean Council funded soybean BMSB scouting program again next year to track its march across Ohio.

What's being said
The leaders are going to have to take this deal. The more they look uncooperative the less people are going to be willing to hold back the lawsuit dogs of war. The deal is the only thing keeping the firm's partners from being buried in litigation by creditors over their unpaid bills.
As I recall, Dewey distributed compensation (I do not call it profits because they were actually incurring further debt to fund their distributions) based on a "barbell" model -- superstars at the top, everyone else at the bottom. Let them distribute liability in like fashion.

LEAP OF FAITH Cast Album Gets 12/4 Release; Track List Announced!
Ghostlight Records will release the Original Broadway Cast Recording of the Tony®-nominated musical, LEAP OF FAITH, featuring a roof-raising new score by Oscar® and Tony®- winning composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors) and Grammy®-winning lyricist Glenn Slater (Tangled), to digital outlets on December 4, 2012 and in stores on December 18, 2012. CD pre-orders are now on sale at http://sh-k-boom.com/leapoffaith.shtml.
Four-time Tony Award® nominee Raúl Esparza (Cabaret, Company) stars as Jonas Nightingale, an electrifying performer and rabble rouser who's planning to take the whole town for a ride. But when a small-town girl stops him in his tracks, this hustler may just discover something to believe in. The creative team also includes bookwriters Janus Cercone and Tony®-winner Warren Leight (Side Man); choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys); and Christopher Ashley, director of the Tony®-winning Best Musical Memphis. LEAP OF FAITH was nominated for the 2012 Tony® Award for Best Musical.
In an excerpt from his note in the album's beautiful accompanying booklet—which also includes full lyrics and color photos – composer Alan Menken had this to say about the new recording: "This musical went through a trial by fire on Broadway. And in the end, our brave and beautiful actors and musicians brought their hearts and souls to the stage of the St. James Theater. We were rewarded with a Tony nomination for Best Musical. And a week later we closed. Some will feel the need to understand why that happened. But in the end I content myself with knowing that this journey is far from over. This album is the beginning of a new chapter in the story of LEAP OF FAITH; one in which it will be given new life out in the world because of the beautiful and heartfelt performances on this album."
In addition to Esparza, the cast recording features Talon Ackerman, Hettie Barnhill, Krystal Joy Brown, Ta'Rea Campbell, Michelle Duffy, Lynorris Evans, Maoly Farrell, Dierdre Friel, Bob Gaynor, Lucia Giannetta, Angela Grovey, Louis Hobson, Tiffany Janene Howard, Kendra Kassebaum, Grasan Kingsberry, Kecia Lewis-Evans, Maurice Murphy, Leslie Odom, Jr., Ian Paget, Jessica Phillips, Terita Redd, Eliseo Roman, Bryce Ryness, Ann Sanders, C.E. Smith, Danny Stiles, Dennis Stowe, Betsy Struxness, Roberta Wall, and Virginia Ann Woodruff.
The album was produced by Alan Menken and Michael Kosarin with Executive Producer Rick Kunis. It was recorded on June 13, 2012 at Avatar Studios, NYC.

Kimbrel contributes shaky multi-inning relief
SAN DIEGO -- Maybe Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez should have given Craig Kimbrel a chance to notch the final five outs in Game 4 of last year's National League Division Series. But as this season has progressed, Kimbrel has provided some indication of why Gonzalez opted not to give him a chance to work multiple innings during that postseason contest.
"He's obviously got the makeup to do it," Gonzalez said. "But to do it is a little more difficult than just sitting in a [television] studio and thinking, 'Oh, he can throw two innings and not everybody can do it.'"
Kimbrel completed his latest shaky multi-inning appearance during Saturday night's 3-2, 12-inning loss to the Padres. The All-Star closer walked the bases loaded and then allowed Will Venable to hit a walk-off single.
"I didn't expect to go out there and give up the walks and lose the game tonight," Kimbrel said. "I expected to go out there, make pitches, throw two innings and then do what I had to. It just didn't happen tonight."
Fatigue seemed to play a part as Kimbrel matched the career-high 38 pitches he totaled on April 21, 2011, when he completed the most recent of the two-inning outings of his career. The 26-year-old hurler has now completed at least four outs in seven of his 276 career appearances. He had allowed a run in just one of those previous six appearances.
But this marked the second time this year that he has been shaky while working during two separate innings. As he walked three of the first four batters he faced in Saturday's 12th inning, he conjured memories of May 29, when he entered to end a two-out, eighth-inning threat and then did not retire any of the four Red Sox batters he faced in the ninth.
"You've got to go out there and find out if you can do it or not," Kimbrel said. "I didn't do it tonight. But that doesn't mean I won't do it next time."
