Gdansk, Poland, July 6, 2011 – World No. 2 Russia made the best start possible to the FIVB World League Finals in Gdansk, Poland with a 3-1 (29-31, 25-16, 25-21 and 25-22) win over USA in the first match of Pool F on Wednesday. Russia's Maxim Mikhaylov led all scorers with 29 points, while the best scorer for USA - Matthew Anderson - scored 17.Much of the build up to the match focused on USA's heavy travel schedule and their possible jet lag but the world No. 5, who started the match having only won two of eight previous World League encounters with Russia, who started the better winning three points on the trot.2011
The match started with USA gaining a slight advantage but the Russians didn't lose touch with the Americans leading 8-6 at the first TTO. Last year's silver medallists tied the set at 16-16 before jumping out to a 21-17 lead thanks to a series of great serves from the tallest man in the competition Dmitriy Muserskiy, who stands at 2.18m. Russia missed two set balls before USA levelled at 24-24 on the back of a Evan Patak ace. With both sides going blow to blow, an Alexander Volkov spike long gave the US the set 31-29. Russia's Miklaylov led all scorers with eight points. The second set started better for Russia with captain Taras Khtey particularly to the fore. The 2002 champions quickly gained a four-point-lead at 6-2 and didn't relent throughout the set. With their defence struggling, USA trailed all the way as Russia easily picked up the set 25-16.
The third set once again started well for Russia with a three-point-advantage for the side at the first TTO. With better blocking and Mikhaylov continuing his scoring prowess (seven points in the set, 19 in total) the 13-time medallists maintained their lead going on to win the set 25-21 and take the lead in the match 2-1. The fourth set was very tight, point by point, with neither the team gaining the edge. A streak of four points 10-9 down to 13-10 ahead, Russia claimed a brief lead. USA quickly levelled at 15-15. The Olympic champions finally managed to break the Russian block, which was their major problem in previous sets however, when it came to the crunch Russia proved to be a step up and clinched the match and the set 25-22.Russia will now take on Cuba on Thursday while USA take on defending champions Brazil who they beat twice during the Intercontinental Round.

I think you are being a little too rigid there, Sonam. Even ChNN does not sing SOV the way Adriano has transcribed it.
Yeah hahaha. As far as I understood Adriano in that webcast that's the way it's supposed to be in done in the dance of the vajra because it's coordinated with movements. When alone I try to sing it as close as I'm able to the way Adriano taught it then, but we don't sing it quite like that with Rinpoche.

Carney at BOE Reveals Canadian Needed to Rescue U.K.
The world's finance chiefs headed to the northern Canadian outpost of Iqaluit, just 195 miles south of the Arctic Circle, in February 2010.
Wearing duck-down parka coats to insulate themselves from temperatures far below zero Celsius, the guardians of the global economy went dog-sledding on the town's frozen bay. While Bank of England Governor Mervyn King perched awkwardly on the back of a sledge, his Canadian counterpart drove a pack of huskies across the ice himself.
Mark Carney will take another set of reins from King, 64, in July when he succeeds him as head of the U.K.'s central bank. A former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive and current chairman of an international panel of bank regulators, Carney will need similar levels of control and daring as he inherits oversight of an economy close to recession and a banking industry in crisis.
"Carney is a fantastic central banker," Edmund Clark, chief executive officer of Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD), Canada's second-biggest by assets, said in an interview yesterday. "He's clearly been recognized around the world for that, and so Britain, from its point of view, did a smart thing."
Youngest Boss
A day after watching one of his four school-age daughters play ice hockey in downtown Ottawa, Carney, 47, was named yesterday by U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne as the first ever foreigner to run the 318-year-old Bank of England and its youngest boss in more than half a century.
"We needed the best, and in Mark Carney we've got it," Osborne said at the end of a 10-week official search after the Canadian's virtually unique blend of experience in banking, policy making and regulation beat out other contenders.
Having appeared as recently as August to rule out any interest in the job, Carney was wooed by Osborne to take a position he never applied for and offered the post last week. He negotiated an annual salary of 624,000 pounds ($1 million), including a pension contribution. His five-year term will be shorter than the eight years that were offered because of a desire not to remain in central banking for longer than a decade and because his term at the Financial Stability Board also ends in 2018.
Transatlantic Switch
Carney will make the transatlantic switch having spent five years overseeing a Canadian economy that bounced back from the 2009 global slump faster than the U.K., largely because its banks didn't require bailouts. By contrast, the U.K. still is flirting with recession, facing the biggest fiscal squeeze since World War II and trying to plot a future for its rescued financial sector.
Unlike other British contenders, such as King's deputy Paul Tucker, Carney will oversee an overhaul of the central bank free of the taint of banking scandal and of having been inside the country's policy making when it failed to spot the looming financial stress and then proved sluggish to respond.
Three reports commissioned by the Bank of England's governing body and published this month criticized its hierarchical culture and said staff must be allowed to be more assertive. Tucker, the bookmakers' favorite, has worked at the central bank for three decades and was recently embroiled in the London Interbank Offered Rate rigging scandal.
Carney "is head and shoulders above the other candidates," David Blanchflower, who helped set U.K. interest rates until May 2009 and now teaches at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, said yesterday on Bloomberg Radio's "The Hays Advantage" with Kathleen Hays and Vonnie Quinn. "He's going to come in with a big broom and sweep clean at the Bank of England, which is what is needed."
'Very Focused'
Carney previously said he wasn't a candidate. When asked on the BBC's "Hardtalk" program in August whether he would be interested in becoming governor, he said he was "very focused" on his current posts and "interested in who they pick." Questioned about whether that meant "a no or a never consider the job?" he said: "It's both. How's that?"
Bookmakers cited Tucker as the frontrunner. William Hill Plc (WMH) didn't mention Carney as a contender when it provided odds on Nov. 24 of 1-4 for Tucker, meaning a successful 4-pound bet on him would have yielded a 1-pound profit. Ladbrokes gave odds of 2-9 for Tucker and 12-1 for Carney.
In looking abroad, Osborne embraced an era in which finance is global and the best talent should be sought out regardless of passport, said Paul Donovan, an economist at UBS (UBSN) AG. The Bank of England's policy-setting Monetary Policy Committee already has a track record of foreign participation, with American Adam Posen recently departing.
Nationality Incidental
"In an environment of international financial regulation, having somebody who has a strong track record in that is clearly important," Donovan said. "The nationality is entirely incidental."
Carney, the son of teachers born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, a town of 2,500 located about 3,900 miles from London, is no stranger to the U.K. Married to a Briton, he followed a degree from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a doctorate in economics from Oxford University and spent time in the U.K. capital during his 13 years at Goldman Sachs. He will seek British citizenship.
"It was two decades ago that I started my first proper job here as a credit analyst," Carney told the Canada-U.K. Chamber of Commerce in a November 2008 speech. "I came to London at the time because it really did appear poised to reassume its role as a center of global finance."
Half a decade since the outbreak of the global turmoil, that status is still under threat after a series of trading scandals, most recently over Libor.
'Light Touch'
London, home to the $2 trillion-a-day currency market, was also the site of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)'s trading loss of at least $5.8 billion and $2.3 billion fraud at UBS. Its onetime "light touch" regulatory approach has been blamed for failing to prevent the near-collapse of Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and the run on Northern Rock Plc.
As the government seeks to avoid a repeat of such strife, Carney will run a Bank of England with increased responsibility for U.K. financial control as home to regulators overseeing all deposit-taking institutions, insurers, investment banks and clearing houses. He also will lead the Financial Policy Committee, charged with addressing risks to the broader financial system.
Calling Shots
"The new system puts the BOE at the center and has the BOE calling the shots, so next time there's a financial crisis, the finger will be pointed at the BOE," said Richard Barwell, a former Bank of England official who is now an economist at the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Carney already has experience rewriting the rules of finance at a global level as chairman of the FSB for a year, a position he will retain after he leaves Canada. He has pushed for tougher regulations for global lenders and clashed with banking executives, such as JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, over requirements to hold more capital, saying earlier this month the case for tougher rules is "as clear today" as it was when the crisis began.
"Measures to strengthen financial stability support economic growth and create jobs rather than hold them back, even in the short term," Carney said in a Nov. 8 speech in Montreal.
Rule Making
On his watch, the FSB is extending its rule-making into the shadow-banking system and has begun to tackle the question of how it should enforce implementation of its agreements.
Carney, one of Time magazine's most influential people of 2010 and Euromoney's central banker of 2012, also will take the helm of the MPC. It has left the benchmark interest rate at 0.5 percent for three years and is mulling whether to bolster a 375 billion-pound asset-buying program.
While the U.K. economy just emerged from its first double- dip recession since the 1970s and the government is enforcing austerity, inflation has run above the bank's 2 percent target since 2009.
Carney, who raised borrowing costs three times in 2010 and has held the policy rate at 1 percent since then, is alone among Group of Seven central bankers in still suggesting an inclination to raise borrowing costs and has refrained from asset purchases as Canadian banks continued to expand lending. Instead of quantitative easing, Carney introduced a "conditional commitment" in 2009, when he said the benchmark rate would remain at its lowest possible level for 15 months.
As of Aug. 31, the Bank of Canada's balance sheet was 72.7 billion Canadian dollars ($73 billion). The Bank of England's was 414 billion pounds on Nov. 21.
'Less Dovish'
That suggests the Bank of England may boast a "slightly less dovish culture" in the future, said Philip Rush, an economist at Nomura International Plc in London, adding that Carney's appointment makes him less confident the Bank of England will extend quantitative easing beyond the 50 billion pounds he expects in February.
Still, weak demand for Canada's exports has handcuffed Carney's ability to raise borrowing costs, and the Bank of Canada's interest rate pause, the longest since the 1950s, has helped fuel record levels of household debt that Carney now calls the country's the biggest domestic economic risk.
In his current job, Carney has been "somewhat hawkish in words, but dovish in action," Avery Shenfeld, chief economist at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, said in a note to investors yesterday.
Robert Wood, a former Bank of England official until he recently moved to Berenberg Bank, said Carney also may be "more creative than King," given the Bank of Canada's past willingness to give time frames for low rates and more specific economic forecasts.
Stimulus Playbook
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke last year took a page from Carney's stimulus playbook when he chose to specify a date for his pledge to keep borrowing costs low. Under Carney's watch, Canada's central bank also adopted a "flexible inflation targeting" system that allows it more leeway to lean against asset bubbles.
"In addition to being very smart, he was tough and creative," said Ralph Goodale, a former Canadian finance minister who said he hired Carney away from the Bank of Canada in 2004 over its objections. Carney joined the central bank in 2003 before moving to the government's finance department for a three-year stint and had "an amazing ability to grasp issues," Goodale said.
Complete Change
Carney oversaw a complete change in the membership of the central bank's interest-rate-setting panel since he was named governor at the end of 2007, under the Canadian system that gives him total legal authority for monetary policy. The views of individual governing-council members are difficult to judge because the group sets rates by consensus rather than by voting.
He may have more difficulty wresting control of policy makers in England. He recently criticized Andrew Haldane, the Bank of England's executive director for financial stability, for saying new bank regulations are too complex, according to a Euromoney interview.
"Carney has headed an institution where the governor effectively makes policy decisions on his own, and it remains to be seen whether he can effectively govern the more diffuse power structure" at the Bank of England, BNP Paribas SA economists Bricklin Dwyer and David Tinsley said in a report. Carney also "will have a steep learning curve mastering the intricacies of the U.K. economy."
Goldman Sachs
Carney, who played ice hockey as a student and has run marathons, is one of several Goldman Sachs alumni to shape international economic policy. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William Dudley and current Bank of England policy maker Ben Broadbent were there, too.
Carney worked for the fifth-biggest U.S. bank by assets in Tokyo and New York, as well as London. He became co-head of sovereign risk and executive director of debt capital markets, advising governments in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
In 1998, he moved to New York as vice president of corporate finance, before returning to Canada to help Goldman Sachs build its investment-banking relationships in Toronto. He left the New York-based bank to become deputy governor of the Bank of Canada in 2003, responding to an advertisement in the Economist magazine, which Osborne also used to promote the Bank of England vacancy.
"I'm going to where the challenges are greatest," Carney said in Ottawa yesterday. "This is a major challenge, a major opportunity."

Marlins transfer Alvarez to 60-day DL
SAN DIEGO -- Until the last week of Spring Training, the Marlins were anticipating Henderson Alvarez being a big part of their rotation. Now, the earliest the 23-year-old will be available is shortly before the All-Star break.
The Marlins on Tuesday announced Alvarez was transferred to the 60-day disabled list. The transaction is the corresponding move to the club placing second baseman Donovan Solano on the 15-day DL, retroactive to Monday, with a left intercostal strain. Nick Green had his contract selected from Triple-A New Orleans.
To create 40-man roster space for Green, Miami had to move Alvarez to the 60-day DL.
Acquired from the Blue Jays last November as part of the big 12-player trade, Alvarez opened the season on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. His recovery had a setback recently, and he began playing light catch on Monday.
Manager Mike Redmond said on Tuesday that Alvarez is on a throwing progression, and that he wasn't going to be game-ready until after the 60-day period.
"It kind of worked out where he could go to the 60-day," Redmond said. "He's just starting the process of coming back, and starting to play catch and building his long-toss sessions. He's still a ways out. We're hoping that this is it, and we won't have any more setbacks."
Alvarez initially was slated to be Miami's No. 4 starter, but he went on the disabled list the day before the season opened.
Alvarez pitched for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic and made four Grapefruit League appearances for Miami in Spring Training.

Our colleagues have developed a technique for rapidly and quantitatively detecting antibody responses in sera to a variety of antigens using recombinant proteins. We would like to apply this technique to develop an assay for detecting antibodies to HHV- 8 (KSHV, the etiologic agent of Kaposi s sarcoma, an AIDS-defining condition). In addition we would like to potentially measure antibody responses to HIV, other infectious agents, and human antigens, to see if antibodies (or high antibody titers) to these antigens are associated with Kaposi s sarcoma or HIV infection. We initially plan to examine samples from patients with Kaposi s sarcoma, since all those patients are almost certainly infected with HHV-8. We would subsequently plan to examine samples from HIV positive and HIV negative patients without known Kaposi s sarcoma. We are thus requesting permission to use samples from patients with and without previously diagnosed Kaposi's Sarcoma. In addition to antibody testing, we would also like to examine these samples for evidence of infection with other infectious agents, such as newly identified or unknown viruses, using techniques such as PCR or deep

GUATEMALA CITY – Efrain Rios Montt ruled as Guatemala's dictator, served as president of Congress, preached as an evangelical pastor and now, at 86, has become the first Latin American strongman to stand trial and be convicted on genocide charges in his own country.
Enigmatic, with a stern face and a thunderous voice, he began his career in the Guatemalan Army in 1946 as a cadet, rising to the rank of brigadier general in 1972.
He first tried to become president in 1974, losing an election that many believe was stolen from him amid allegations of fraud. Then in March 1982, he seized power after a military coup and began an 18-month reign during the bloodiest phase in Guatemala's 36-year-long civil war.
It was during this time that most of the hundreds of massacres against Maya Indians committed by the army were carried out as part of the U.S.-backed military's scorched-earth offensive against a leftist uprising based in the Maya heartland.
Prosecutors argued during his trial that while in power, Rios Montt knew about and was responsible for the slaughter by subordinates of at least 1,771 people in the Quiche department of Guatemala's western highlands. They said the purported plan was to eliminate an indigenous Maya ethnic group known as the Ixil in the towns of San Juan Cotzal, San Gaspar Chajul and Santa Maria Nebaj.
Rios Montt's administration is remembered for its ferocious counterinsurgency campaign, for faceless judges who held summary trials for those considered subversives and for the televised moralist and religious messages the dictator shared with the nation every Sunday night.
"The man who has two women is a pig; the woman who has two men is a hen," he told Guatemalans in one nationwide broadcast.
He was himself deposed by a coup in August 1983. He had sown discord with a wide swath of Guatemalans — army leaders angry over his promotion of young officers in defiance of tradition; businessmen and the middle class upset by the creation of new taxes; Roman Catholics put out by his ignoring a request for clemency from Pope John Paul II on behalf of several prisoners sentenced to death.
A born-again evangelical Christian, Rios Montt also refused to bow before the pope during his visit to the predominantly Catholic country in 1983.
In an ironic twist, Rios Montt is the brother of Bishop Mario Enrique Rios Mont, who spells his last name differently and has headed the Roman Catholic Church's human rights commission in Guatemala.
Despite his tough rule, Rios Montt remained popular among many Guatemalans, especially in the areas hardest hit by the military offensive against guerrillas, due to his social welfare programs and the relative peace his "iron fist" approach brought to some regions.
During his trial, about 500 of these Ixil Maya arrived in buses the capital to show their support for Rios Montt with banners that read "Do not shame the Ixil with that idea of genocide, because that's a lie."
But when Rios Montt was on trial this year, dozens of victims testified of surviving rapes, massacres and other atrocities as children, women and unarmed men were slaughtered in a scorched-earth campaign aimed at eliminating support for a leftwing guerrilla movement.
Rios Montt's popularity among some groups was such that lawmakers in 1985 added a clause to the constitution banning him or any of his descendants from running for president. From that moment on, he worked on changing the law and on strengthening the Guatemalan Republican Front Party, a rightwing movement he created and formally registered in 1990. The party eventually changed its name to the Institutional Republican Party.
He made it back to government as a lawmaker in 1999, when his party won the presidency with Alfonso Portillo and a majority in Congress. His party appointed him congressional leader.
Rios Montt finally realized his dream of running for president again in August 2003. The Constitutional Court overturned several previous rulings and allowed his candidacy after tens of thousands of poor farmers sponsored by his party rioted in Guatemala City. But he finished far behind in third place.
Despite a series of international inquiries finding him responsible for war crimes, Rios Montt served as a congressman for 15 years until he lost a re-election race in 2011. He held immunity from prosecution while a member of Congress and was put under house arrest after losing his post.
A judge charged him with genocide and crimes against humanity in January 2012. After the courts dealt with more than 100 appeals, the trial started this March.

You've been told you can achieve anything you set your mind to, right? That's the message that's been ingrained in us since childhood when we imagined becoming astronauts, athletes, and movie stars. Most of us come to realize that we can't all be LeBron James or Taylor Swift—and that we don't want to be, anyway! As we get older, we typically outgrow these fantasies of youth and begin mapping out a career that's aligned with ou...

Mississippi Gives Us a Clue to Life If Roe Is Overturned
Sure, you can still get an abortion... if you are lucky.
Any day now, the state of Mississippi is expected to send inspectors in to see if Jackson Women's Health Organization, the only abortion clinic in the state, is violating the new law that requires abortions to be performed by a board certified OB/Gyn with admitting privileges to a local hospital.
The results of the inspection will not be a surprise. The clinic owner has already stated that all doctors were turned down for admitting privileges and that they will not be able to comply. The inspection will be the starting point for the state to revoke the clinic's license, a process that will require letters of intention to be sent, a 30-day wait before an appeals hearing can occur, and administrative processes to be completed and then, of course, the blessing of the court, which will eventually be brought in to resolve whether or not closing the clinic altogether is a violation of undue burden on the women of Mississippi.
The state will argue no, and their explanation paints a detailed portrait of what life was like in abortion-hostile states before Roe became law, and where the anti-choice movement hopes the state will eventually be again if Roe is overturned.
According to a recent motion to dismiss the injunction and allow the law to go fully into effect, closing JWHO wouldn't be an undue burden of women in Mississippi seeking abortions because there would still be doctors who provide abortions in private care.
Appreciate our work?
Rewire is a non-profit independent media publication. Your tax-deductible contribution helps support our research, reporting, and analysis.
[A]lthough Plaintiffs repeatedly assert that JWHO is "the sole provider of abortion services in the State of Mississippi" (Motion at 2) and that HB 1390 "will make abortion unavailable in Mississippi" (Id.), that is simply not so. JWHO may be the only Level 1 "Abortion Clinic" licensed under Title 41 in Mississippi, but the State does not apply its regulations to facilities providing less than ten abortions a month. MISS. CODE ANN. § 41-75-1(f) (definition of "abortion facility"). Thus, abortion remains available in private physicians' offices and at hospitals that offer the procedure.23
There are a number of alarming reasons why private physicians taking over terminating pregnancies is simply not an equitable solution for potential patients, and would go even further to segregate the already growing class divide when it comes to access to full health care in the state.
According to the Associated Press, 2,297 abortions were performed in the state in 2010, 2,251 of these at JWHO. For private doctors to take over this number of terminations and do it within the state's "less than 10 a month" guidelines would require that at least 20 new OB/Gyns add pregnancy terminations to their practices. This at a time when much of the country—especially Mississippi—is already experiencing a crisis in available, practicing OBs.
Even if that number of doctors could be recruited, numerous problems remain. How do women without primary care doctors, or even worse without any insurance at all, manage to find a doctor who could perform one? What happens when a doctor has performed up to his or her limit for the month and sees a patient in need? Even if she isn't running close to the legal limit for an abortion, it still creates a system of unnecessary waiting and more potential detrimental health affects than a (moderately) more accessible system allows.
In fact, the state argues that these requirements are necessary as a means to protect the woman's health, yet their own law would actually increase their risk of injury if their experts are to be believed. The state says:
Contrary to Plaintiffs' assertions, termination of pregnancy is not a benign medical procedure. In some cases, serious complications, even life-threatening ones, arise and necessitate optimal and evidence-based treatment….Given the frequency of short-term complications from abortion (2-10%), follow-up medical care is often needed on an urgent basis to treat infection, bleeding, or organ damage. If recognized and attended to promptly, long-term consequences can be minimized. Often, though, abortion procedures are performed in freestanding clinics during weekday hours and complications are managed in urgent care centers or emergency departments after hours or on weekends.
The state does not address how pregnancy terminations being performed by private doctors in private offices, which would also be likely to occur during regular weekday hours, would be any different, especially since the doctors performing those abortions would not be required to have admitting privileges under the law. As Center for Reproductive Rights' President Nancy Northup explained back in July:
"If they [the state] feel that every doctor in the state of Mississippi should have admitting privileges in a hospital, OK. Pass that broad law that will apply to all doctors in the state. If they think all OB-GYNs in the state should have admitting privileges to the hospitals, that's another thing."
Clearly, the state doesn't want all OB's to be required to have admitting privileges, especially in the face of a shortage of providers. What they want is a specific way to eliminate as many abortions as possible, and are using legislation targeting what they dub "itinerant" surgeons.
Dr. Thorp concludes that "H.B. 1390 is medically necessary to prevent itinerant surgeons like Dr. Parker from being allowed to abandon his patients if complications arise and emergency follow-up intervention is necessary. Mississippi women expect and deserve to receive responsible medical services which conform to accepted standards of care in medicine, not substandard care offered by itinerant surgeons who lack both board certification and hospital privileges."
(Note: the use of "both" is deliberate, as the doctors are already board certified.)
If Dr. Thorp's statement sounds familiar, you may recognize it from Phyllis Schlafly, although her problem with "itinerant surgeons" was that by allowing other hospital staff to perform follow-up in the event of a complication, that makes a taxpayer who helps fund the hospital through his or her taxes complicit in the act of an abortion.
The state of Mississipi's rationale for revoking the injunction is as unsupported and misleading as is their TRAP law in the first place, something that is unsurprising once you learn that Operation Rescue was involved in the development and drafting of the bill. The justifications provided in the 35-page report that assert the bill protects women who terminate their pregnancy shows that by making a requirement that applies only to the clinic and encouraging women to go to private doctors instead who do not need to use the same safety standards, the law does no such thing. In fact, by setting more roadblocks and a limit to the number of procedures those seeking terminations will receive them even later, something that could increase the possibility for medical complications.
What the law would do if enforced, however, is make abortion accessible only to women with insurance, good connections to a doctor who can do a termination, and money to pay for a more expensive private office or hospital procedure.
In other words, it takes them right back to where they were before Roe v. Wade was decided. Just as they intend it to.

Does ascites affect survival time in dogs with chronic hepatitis?
Ascites is a known negative prognostic factor in people with liver disease, so the authors of a recent study published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine set out to determine whether this is true in dogs as well, especially since no definitive prognostic indicators have been established for chronic hepatitis in dogs. The study's authors retrospectively identified 34 dogs diagnosed with chronic hepatitis at their institution, after excluding those dogs that were found to have an underlying cause of the liver disease such as toxicosis, infection, and copper storage abnormalities. Dogs with significant nonhepatic concurrent disease were also excluded. Of the 34 dogs, 14 had ascites. Those with ascites had significantly shorter survival times after initial diagnosis (0.4 months) than those without ascites (24.3 months). In addition, the survival time after signs of chronic hepatitis were initially noted was shorter for the dogs with ascites (2 months) than those without (33 months).
The dogs' sex appeared to have no effect on the outcome of the study. The only significant differences between the groups related to treatment were that dogs with ascites more often received spironolactone and dogs without ascites more often had dietary therapy. Among the reasons that ascites may have such a negative association with these dogs' survival are that the neuroendocrine abnormalities related to ascites may increase morbidity and the ascites may only develop when severe liver pathology already exists. This study's findings can help practitioners and owners make recommendations and decisions respectively when faced with chronic hepatitis and concurrent ascites in a dog. However, the researchers conclude that ascites is not necessarily a death sentence; some dogs with ascites survive for prolonged periods.

Enhanced Budweiser ShareLunker Database Now Online
ATHENS, Texas — Big bass nerds everywhere take note: Information about entries in the Budweiser ShareLunker program can now be searched online.
The on-line database has two modes, basic and advanced. The basic mode allows online searches by season, reservoir and angler name. It also includes links to photos of anglers and their fish where available.
To access the database, go to http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/budsharelunker/ and click on the button "Search ShareLunker Entries" under the picture.
Clicking on the advanced search button on the above page takes you to a list of all ShareLunkers. This list can be sorted by date, angler name, weight, length, girth, water body, day of week or moon phase simply by clicking on the column heading. ShareLunkers that are current water body records are also identified. Users can perform additional searches using buttons provided at the top of the page.
A button on the advanced search page allows you to download an Excel file to your computer that includes all the information above through the 2004-2005 season. This file will be updated after the close of each season, which ends April 30 each year.
Anglers legally catching a largemouth bass weighing 13 pounds or more between October 1 and April 30 may enter the fish into the Budweiser ShareLunker program by calling (903) 681-0550 or leaving a page, including area code, at (888) 784-0600. The angler may choose to have the fish returned after the spawning season or donate the fish to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
The Budweiser ShareLunker program is made possible through support from Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Since 1991, Anheuser-Busch, in partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, has contributed millions of dollars in funding to support conservation causes and fishing, hunting and outdoor recreation programs in Texas.

I love CORE Impact's advisories. Most of them contain a long timeline which most of the time I find very amusing.Usually, whenever I post an advisory the timeline is short, as most of the vulnerabilities are fixed in a reasonable time span.
Today is different. Today, Microsoft have released a patch for the "DLL-load Hijacking" vulnerability that I reported them 2.5 years ago. I had a long discussion with Microsoft about this vulnerability, and we both had several twists as time went by.
I hope you will enjoy reading the following timeline, which I've tried to make it "a la CORE Impact" as possible.
29/Oct/2006 – Notified Microsoft about the "DLL-load Hijacking" vulnerability.
29/Oct/2006 – Microsoft acknowledged notification.
30/Oct/2006 - Provided Microsoft with all the vulnerability details and different ways to exploit it.
30/Oct/2006 – Microsoft stated that "If an attacker has the ability to modify/replace system files on a users system then it is very likely that the system is already compromised in many other ways."
30/Oct/2006 – I sent some clarifications, stating that the attacker has to have the ability only to CREATE specific DLL files on specific directories, not necessarily on SYSTEM directories. For example, on the Desktop or directories in the user's PATH.
30/Oct/2006 – Microsoft stated that they will send the information to the IE team for further investigation.
31/Oct/2006 – Microsoft IE product team stated that "If the attacker can put a dll on the box in a location that is in the user's PATH variable, then they already own the box". Microsoft flagged this as a "bad behavior" which they have logged in their "bugs database", and will fix in next version of the OS.
31/Oct/2006 – I sent Microsoft a notification that I'm going to publicly disclose this vulnerability.
01/Nov/2006 – Publicly disclosed first details of the vulnerability. I didn't have much time to go with full details, because I had to prepare for a Honeymoon trip to Thailand with my beautiful wife.
10/Dec/2006 – Got back from a great Honeymoon, to find out that some guys were bitching about this vulnerability as a hype, a hoax or just "old news".
14/Dec/2006 – As there was still no change in mind at Microsoft, I've publicly disclosed full technical details of this vulnerability, with a Proof-of-Concept code published on Milw0rm.
21/Apr/2008 – Windows XP SP3 released. Microsoft broke their first promise (in this timeline). Still no fix.
14/May/2008 - Nitesh Dhanjani released details about a vulnerability in Safari which allows automated download of files to the user's Desktop, without any user interaction. He named it "Safari Carpet Bombing".
20/May/2008 – Shared details with Ryan Naraine on how to combine the "Safari Carpet Bombing" with "DLL-load Hijacking" vulnerability. I showed him a fully automated remote code execution proof-of-concept. Ryan asked me to hold of disclosure of the vulnerability.
22/May/2008 – Ryan contacted Microsoft regarding the combined vulnerabilities, and provided them with my proof-of-concept.
24/May/2008 – Microsoft contacted me and added Apple to the discussions about the vulnerability. Microsoft requested that I won't publish the technical details until they fix the vulnerability.
25/May/2008 – I've denied Microsoft's request and asked them why this issue was not fixed in Windows XP SP3.
27/May/2008 – Microsoft stated that it was not fixed in XP SP3 because of an application compatibility issue, and it will take them time to fix this. They also tried to convince me to keep the technical details until they release a patch, by promising to credit me in their advisory and bulletin.
31/May/2008 – Microsoft issued an advisory, calling the combined vulnerabilities a "blended threat", and suggesting Apple Safari users to stop using this Safari. This was all done without crediting me for working with them on this issue.
31/May/2008 – Microsoft changed their mind and stated that they will not credit me in their bulletin because I publicly disclosed information about the vulnerability in November 2006. By that Microsoft broke their 2nd promise.
01/Jun/2008 – I refused to continue the discussion with Microsoft until they change their mind back, and keep their promises.
04/Jun/2008 – Microsoft changed their mind back, stating that this is a onetime exception and they will credit my work in both the advisory and bulletin.
06/Jun/2008 – Microsoft updated their advisory and added the acknowledgment.
19/Jun/2008 – Apple fixed their side of the "Blended threat", and released a new version of Safari. Still no fix from Microsoft.
02/Aug/2008 – Microsoft approached me at their BlackHat conference party. They stated that due to application compatibility issues (mostly with Adobe applications), the vulnerability will not be fixed until the release of Windows 7.
19/Mar/2009 – Microsoft released Internet Explorer 8, which is not vulnerable to the "DLL-load Hijacking" vulnerability. Older versions were still vulnerable.
14/Apr/2009 – After almost two and a half years since I first notified them about the vulnerability, and almost one year after I notified them about the "blended threat", Microsoft have finally released a patch. They broke their 3rd promise (Windows 7, remember?), but this time for a good reason.

Spain will raid its decade-old pension reserve fund to pay retirees their Christmas bonus after lifting the annual limit on how much it can take out of the vehicle that invests in sovereign debt.
The government will extract about 4 billion euros by year-end from the 67 billion-euro pool, suspending a 3 per cent annual limit on withdrawals, Labor Minister Fatima Banez told reporters today after the weekly Cabinet meeting. Separately, the government decided it won't raise pensions to match inflation, she said.
The 26 per cent unemployment rate has pushed the welfare system into deficit sooner than expected, while Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has sought to protect pensioners from budget cuts. The reserve fund, created a decade ago to guard against the effects of an aging population, invests mainly in Spanish government debt.
At the meeting, the government scrapped a law that forces it to compensate pensioners for higher-than-expected inflation. The Bank of Spain warned that would cost about 3 billion euros. Inflation was 2.9 per cent in November, the month that's used a reference, compared with the 1 per cent provided in 2012 in line with the government's inflation forecast.
To offset the lost spending power, pensioners on less than 1,000 euros per month will see their benefits rise 2 per cent next year, at a cost of 1.5 billion euros, Banez said. Other pensions will rise 1 per cent, in line with the 2013 budget.
The decision today was the third move to withdraw cash from the reserve this year. The 3 per cent limit on withdrawals will be lifted until 2015, Banez said.
Protecting pensioners
Rajoy pledged during his campaign last year to protect pensioners' spending power and the decision to increase benefits this year was one of the first he made after coming to power. The pledge was one of the few campaign promises he has kept as the debt crisis has prompted him to cut jobless benefits, raise taxes, and reduce firing costs.
The reserve fund's assets are equivalent to about 11 per cent of the central government's estimated outstanding debt for this year. Its waning firepower comes as foreign investors' share of Spanish debt has declined and the government needs to issue more than 200 billion euros of securities next year.
Before last year, the social-security reserve had grown every year since its inception. In 2005, with Spain running a budget surplus, the fund diversified into German, French and Dutch debt. Then in 2008, as borrowing costs started to rise, it went back into Spanish debt to prop up the market.
Spain has about 8 million retirees, who together receive about 7 billion euros per month, more than twice the 3.84 billion euros of expenditures in 2000. The ratio of workers per retiree paying into the system has fallen to 2.43, the lowest since 2003, according to ministry data. The crisis has axed 3 million people from the list of contributors, Banez said.

hi, I'm working on my site right now and so far have a a good number of unique articles. I've been hearing a lot about duplicate content and how it could negatively affect my ranking and so on. Now there are a few things that I plan on doing that i am not sure if it would be considered duplicate content
I want to place respective blogs on their respective pages, but i also want everything to go to my static home page as well to be shown in excerpts . If content is on static home page and on another page would that be considered a duplicate content?
I'm new to IM and have never done anything design related. I noticed that post have their own URL content, now if i already have excerpts and or if it is already shown in another page does that count as duplicate content?
As i was searching for the answers about this questions and SEO related, I read that you should try to make URL as discrpitive as possible without making it too long. My Question is how long is too long? For instance, mydomainname.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/word-word-word-word
Would this be considered too long?
I got a few of my questions arealdy answered thanks to this great site and the search button:D..However, i cant seem to figure out the answer to this.
In my opinion (and there are lots of opinions on this subject!) the answer to the first three questions is certainly No. As for links to images, if it serves a useful purpose (like lining to a larger version), then certainly, yes.
I don't see a problem with longer URLs. It's handy if it clearly says what the page is about. 4 words is certainly not too many. Many high ranking pages have many more words than that in their URL. They rank highly because they have great content, so people link to it.
Content that is published a second time, is at risk of being marked as duplicate regardless of where it is published. Posting the same thing the second time has no added value for the user and as such the algorithms won't like it.
I recommend sticking your blog directly in the root, and let WP software do the rest. A good blog is a very important part of your site, both for your visitors and SEO; the less you mess with it, the better.
In general terms: don't try to be too clever with SEO. You are better off spending your time on producing a good website and a good blog than trying to beat the Google engineers. Remember that the O in SEO stands for Optimisation, not Obfuscation.
That's true, but in this case Aboudie is not really posting the same content a second time. What he is describing is in the nature of most blogging platforms. Each blog post is a distinct entry, and appears on its own page with its own URL. But an extract (which could be anything from the first sentence to the entire post, as specified by the blogger) of the most recent posts also appears on the home page.
It is highly unlikely that that situation will cause any kind of SEO penalty. More importantly, it's not necessarily true that it "has no added value for the user". If a user visits a blog regularly, he will see a quick summary of the most recent posts, and he can then choose to drill down into any post that he is interested in. If, on the other hand, he arrives directly at a particularly post by searching for some specific information, he will see exactly the post he needs, and can choose to ignore the rest of the blog. Either way, the user gets what he wants.
For both those reasons, Aboudie, my advice would be to leave things as they are. It is the standard way that most blogs work, and there's no evidence that it does any harm.
As for your question about long URLs, your URLs should ideally contain at least one of your important keywords, but without overdoing it. More importantly, you should plan your URLs so that they are convenient for your visitors. But even that is not all that important, given that most people will find your site by clicking on links from other sites, search results or emails.
Posting a copy ( whether or not bits have been deleted ) of a website page again as a blog, is not good, nor is spinning a new version of it. Taking a long webpage e.g. 1000-1500 words as a "source of inspiration" and writing a summary of it as a new and separate effort, is fine.Algorithms get smarter every day (twice a day in case of Google) and are likely to arrive fairly soon at a point where they can spot spin almost as well as the human brain can. That means it is not so much a matter of how you can cheat today, but what is likely to improve your ranking for the next couple of years and what is likely to be counter acted by Google's engineers. One of the ruling principles of Google, is that they want to see stuff that is helpful for visitors, and as such, it is very easy to figure out what will help for the foreseeable future and what not. A page reposted with half the content deleted is not "original" and is unlikely to be judged as helpful, whereas an "newly composed" synopsis clearly is a new bit of work.
It's true that there are different opinions on this matter, it seems like though the vast majority, ( asked different people to get different opinions) agree with you on this matter
Tbh, i'm not really trying to be cleaver. I just wanted to make sure that there are excerpts post in my home page so that my visitors can choose whatever blog or article they might want to read.
Thanks for this very informative answer mike. I have one last question, should i disable a link to my post and let everything direct to the other page where it is more appropriate? For instance, i have an excerpt available in home page, and the full post available in another page. If they click on the post, instead of being directed to the post url, it will just direct to the page where the blog is posted in whole
Aboudie, in answer to your last question, I would suggest you just leave things as they are. There's no special reason to disable the link. It does no harm in SEO terms, and users will expect it to be there. Most visitors are accustomed to the blogging platform working the way it does.
This shouldn't be an issue, because the excerpt is "calling" the content from the correct page, and it's on your own site. If you were quoting large amounts of text on the main page rather than just calling a section of text then it might be seen differently. I would make sure that I'm simply showing a section of text from the full article, and not copy/pasting it in.
I'm not sure what you mean by IM. But in WordPress and others the method is to call content from the right page to display as a snippet on a main page. The content is still contained on one page, it's just presented as a link would be with a description. This shouldn't affect your SEO or the way Google views the site. As mentioned, I wouldn't be quoting entire chunks of text on several pages, but calling a small portion of text to be shown on another is not a bad thing.
I primarily use WordPress, and this allows you to have the title, such as "This is a post about blue widgets" while changing the url to be shorter, for example "http://myblog.com/category/blue-widgets". This is something to consider if you can do it, maximising the impact of the most important words in the url and keeping it short. The general rule is the shorter the better.Don't cram the url with keywords, and don't fret about the title of a post either. Keyword use in a title is less and less relevant these days (others will argue this). I have seen one client of mine who requests all of his post titles be scene titles where a keyword is not present, and as long as I write the post to target something it does well - perhaps even better - than those with the keyword in title.
This is a usability issue rather than a Google/SEO issue. But then I guess if it makes the user experience better then it can be considered an SEO issue.Think about the common method, with images usually linked to the content. It makes sense that if you have a page of posts and they all have an associated image then users will automatically try to click the image to access the post. I started an adult blog last year with a theme that had post images and a text excerpt on the main page, but the images were not clickable, so I changed the code to make all images click through to the associated post.
While it might not affect Google in any way (there is no real concrete advice about clickable images that I have ever seen) it does increase usability and it will likely increase the depth of clicks and reduce bounce rate slightly with those who just expect all images to be clickable - which is almost everyone on the net these days.
These are just my opinions. I am by no means an expert, but I have been doing this for about six years now and creating content for others is what I do for a living. I hope it helps
The best thing to do to avoid such problem is to post your content once. This way you can assure that no duplicate content will appear, your ranking will not be affected and Google will not penalized you.
I appreciate the answers. Hope I can thank you guys in other forms...
Avoid over optimizing. Yes, make your url descriptive and as short as possible. The problem with this is you tend to stuff your keys in. I don't really mind just letting what the url should be when a post gets live as this should make my url more natural and not being under SEO control. For the image, you can add a link if you want to. Just avoid putting too many links in a page.
If you have two pages that are displaying the same content (your first question) you want the credit to go towards the original static page.
In this instance you can use the canonical link element which was created specifically to solve the duplicate content issue.
Place <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/original-content"> in the <head> section of the page that is displaying the duplicate content. When a search engine find the link element on the page displaying duplicate content it will do a soft 301 redirect and transfer most of the link value gathered by that page to the canonical page.
Hope this helps!
if you use duplicate content in your website or blog it will be considered as blackhat techniques and google will penalize for that websites.so always put unique and fresh content.if you have two or more pages with similar content then you can go for canonical page and tell for search engine which is your prefered page to display in search engine results.
That isn't quite true. If you have the same content on several pages, you are unlikely to rank as well, but that isn't because you are being penalised for using 'black hat' techniques – see this post on duplicate content for a more detailed explanation.

Complaining about MS doesn't mean you lack gratitude
I'll admit that I (along with our editor, Natalie) was pretty surprised by the quick response to my posting last week about being tired. I was very tired that day and was struggling with a blog topic. What began as a bit of a rant seemed to touch a nerve with many of you.
I was also surprised by how good I felt just for getting that off my chest. Many seemed to have the same reaction. Like many of our blog conversations, however, you took it to a place I had not intended but for which I am so thankful. We really are better together than the sum of our parts!
Many decided at the end of their list of weariness to list a few things for which you are grateful. I guess I missed that part of the catharsis in my writing. I like that idea; a lot!
I'm pretty sure we had a blog like this once before (maybe a Thanksgiving blog), but I think this may be a prime time to do that type of blog again.
Last week, I put MS and all of it from which I tire on the page. Today, I'm going to take multiple sclerosis off the page and list just a couple of things which get me through a day.
This morning, I'm grateful for:
• The smell of fresh coffee in the morning and NPR
• Good morning licks from Sadie & Stella and kisses from Caryn
• Our Life with MS blog community which greets my every morning as I check in
• Something meaningful to look forward to in the day
• A medical team upon whom I can (and do) call regularly
• The National MS Society and its local chapters
• A hot shower and a warm, dry towel
• The spirit, instilled by my parents, that if I choose, I can make a difference today
• Friends
There are so very many things more, but I've only been up for half an hour, and these are my thoughts thus far in the day. Maybe we should do it that way, just list things for which you are grateful.
When you sit down to comment on this blog, jot down a few things for which you are thankful that have happened to this point in your day. It's kind of nice to head out the door with that on my mind rather than how much must get done today and tonight before I board a plane at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
What are you grateful for thus far today?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

The Government of Nepal (GoN) authorizes relocation of some earthquake-affected populations. Relief agencies continue to distribute and pre-position relief supplies. Donors pledge $4.4 billion for Nepal's reconstruction.
Despite a wealth of natural resources and enormous agricultural potential, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faces serious food security challenges. The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) estimates that national food production is currently 30 to 40 percent below national consumption. The country has very low agricultural productivity, high levels of animal and plant diseases, frequent flooding, isolated agricultural production areas, high population pressure and land conflicts limiting access to land. Abysmal infrastructure – roads, storage facilities, and markets – further exacerbate food insecurity.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is entering a critical period in its democratic transition, which began in 2006 with a new constitution. The 2011 elections were fraught with charges of fraud, and the upcoming elections face numerous political and logistical hurdles.
There are about 3.5 million out-of-school children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In fact, an estimated 20 percent of children in the DRC will never attend school, due to prohibitive fees, distance from a school, and other societal barriers.
The macroeconomic environment in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has markedly improved in recent years, yet the lives of most Congolese have not. In 2013, the DRC gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was $288, the lowest in the world and well less than half of its 1960 value. Approximately 80 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty with the majority engaged in subsistence agriculture. The DRC has the highest number of undernourished people in Africa and the highest prevalence of malnutrition in the world. Only 14 percent of Congolese households have access to electricity.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was once renowned in Africa for its network of clinics, quality of physicians, and primary health care system. In the past three decades, the political and economic collapse of the country has had a dramatic impact on this system. Hospitals and clinics lack personnel and equipment and often run out of critical medicine and supplies. An estimated 70 percent of Congolese have little or no access to health care. Strengthening the health care system is critical to improving the health of Congolese citizens.
Since the early 1990s, illegal exploitation of minerals from artisanal mining in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa has been used to finance armed groups and criminal elements within state security forces, exacerbating ongoing conflict. Recently, international and domestic advocacy efforts have encouraged positive reforms within the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, regional governments, and the local and global private sector. U.S.-listed companies sourcing tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (known collectively as the "3T's and gold") from the region are now required to audit their supply chains and publicly report usage of conflict minerals. The governance, security, and implementation challenges necessary for these reforms must be adequately addressed for the minerals trade to contribute to the formal economy and inclusive development in the DRC.
Since 2002, the United States Government has been a major donor in the response to and prevention of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Deep-seated gender discrimination, harmful cultural practices, and the low social status of women and girls in the DRC contribute to high rates of SGBV. Continued population displacement, insecurity, and conflict in eastern DRC perpetuate the cycle of violence against women and girls, though most perpetrators are community members, not associated with armed groups or conflict.
The east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has remained volatile for the last 20 years. Between 2015 and 2019, USAID/DRC will invest approximately $997 million, subject to the availability of funds, – roughly two-thirds on humanitarian aid and a third on development assistance -- to strengthen the foundation for a durable peace in eastern DRC.
Between 2015 and 2019, USAID/Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will invest approximately $173 million subject to the availability of funds in activities to strengthen Congolese national institutions, both governmental and non-governmental. To achieve the first Development Objective (DO 1) of the Mission's Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS), USAID/DRC technical teams will collaborate to improve Congolese institutions' capacity to plan, set policy and legal frameworks, implement programs, and increase the flow of Congolese resources to key sectors.

Macau Gaming: 2014 Could Be Choppy, Says Wells Fargo
While Macau's long-term secular bull case remains intact, in that Chinese are still under-exposed to casino entertainment, Wells Fargo has turned cautious on Macau stocks, saying 2014 could be a choppy year.
Wells Fargo analyst Cameron McKnight and team cited three reasons: 1. China's macroeconomic slowdown could drag the historically more cyclical VIP segment growth down; 2. Pace of upward estimate revisions could decelerate this year; 3. expectations are high.
The broker asks us to play defensive, in that we hold stocks that have higher exposure to the less cyclical and high-growth mass market segment. Here is McKnight:
We favor Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and Wynn (WYNN) in 2014, due to LVS's superior mass market positioning; we forecast continued market-share gains and further operational efficiencies and WYNN's expected resurgence in the mass market and progress on its Cotai development.
Wells Fargo has a Buy on Melco Crown (MPEL) and a Neutral on MGM (MGM).

Terrebonne Parish students will no longer face disciplinary action for carrying mobile phones as long as they refrain from using them while on campus, school officials said.
Terrebonne Parish students will no longer face disciplinary action for carrying mobile phones as long as they refrain from using them while on campus, school officials said.
The change in policy was announced at Monday night's School Board Education and Policy Committee meeting as members agreed that the rule was ineffective and outdated.
"The focus is on the use now. That will be the focus of our efforts," said Superintendent Philip Martin. "Cell phones have become a fabric of our culture, and over 50 percent of our high school kids have them."
Disciplinary action in past years ranged anywhere from a simple warning to suspension if the student was caught in possession of a device, said Assistant Superintendent Carol Davis.
"Now, for next year, if a teacher sees a student with one in their purse or school bag the consequence will only start if you're using it," she said.
Reducing the number of phone-related suspensions was another goal the district had in mind when considering the change, said Kim Vauclin, Terrebonne Parish Children and Youth Services Planning Board member.
"It's a lot of work, and suspending students for something they shouldn't be missing school for in the first place," Vauclin said.
However, in lieu of the disciplinary changes, the consequences for students caught using their mobile phones on campus will be harsher, which could result in calling a parent or guardian to retrieve the device, suspension or complete loss of the privilege entirely, she added.
While policy will continue to restrict most mobile phone use during school hours, the assistant superintendent noted there are some exceptions. The phones may be used in the event of an emergency or if an administrator grants the student permission.
"We have a statute that allows students to use a cell phone during an emergency that came about after Columbine, but then we were telling students that they weren't allowed to have them on campus period. So that's another reason its being changed," Davis said.
The change in disciplinary procedures will apply to all district schools.

NICK VIVION | Contributing Travel Writer
As I lay there all tied up in knots, with my right leg piercing the air near my ear, all I could think about was sea otters. Never mind the fact that my rational mind was screaming, "Your leg does not belong near your ear!" My creative mind was off with the sea otters, frolicking, swimming backwards, fetching shiny ornaments for a reward of an abalone liberated from its pesky shell.
This made me laugh, although my masseuse, targeting my tension with a force not unlike a sea otter slamming a rock on fresh food, hardly notices. I'm blissed out at the Spa on the Plaza in Monterey, Calif., and my wandering mind is exploring my earlier visit to the expansive Monterey Bay Aquarium.
The Aquarium is by far the biggest draw for travelers to Monterey County, as it is consistently rated the No. 1 aquarium in the U.S., and occasionally even the world. The tanks are full of shimmering fish, giant octopi, and furry sea otters, not to mention a healthy share of rambunctious children mammals. The aquarium's popularity is also a bit of a curse, because the first thing that people say when you mention Monterey is usually, "Oh, that's where the aquarium is!"
Lucky for us all, Monterey County has heaps more going on to whet the traveling whistle. So much so, in fact, that it keeps me coming back at least once a year.
The huge county of Monterey — one-and-and-half times the size of Delaware — sits two hours south of San Francisco, occupying a 100-mile swath of Pacific Ocean beauty and inland fertility. Its magnificence has made it world famous, and it's hard to think of a chunk of earth that inspires more awe, respect and superlatives from most who pass through it.
There are no gay bars here, no clubs — no nightlife to speak of. This is a romantic place, where you come and frolic amidst the backdrop of natural grandeur. Kayaking, diving, horseback riding, biking, fishing and sailing provide a direct channel to beauty at every angle.
I started off my whirlwind tour of solo romancin' with a sunset hike in Point Lobos State Reserve, also known as the crown jewel of the state parks. This is only one of a baker's dozen of sickeningly gorgeous hikes nearby.
For the committed hiker, the Ventana Wilderness behind Big Sur is chock-full of remote camp sites. Day hikes range from the easy Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, which takes you to the spectacular waterfall dropping from cliffs into the water, to the robust Ollason Peak in Toro Park, where you gain 1,800 feet of elevation. Other trails include the Pinnacle National Monument, 20 miles of beach trails at Andrew Molera State Park, and, perhaps the best kept secret of the area, the steepest coastal canyon in the continental U.S. that features abandoned limestone kilns at Limekiln State Park.
As the sun was setting, I set up my tripod and captured the sun dropping beyond Seal Cove, where seals were enjoying the last drops of sunshine. Briny patterns had been blasted into the rocks by the sea spray, and birds were gently riding thermals overhead. Robert Louis Stevenson was struck with the idea for Treasure Island while hiking in this very same spot.
The glamour of Pebble Beach is one of the primary features of Monterey County, with it's exacting fairways, crashing waves, and bazillion- dollar homes that loom over the greens. There is also the Concours d'Elegance, where high-end car collectors from all over the world descend on Pebble Beach like bears to Sidr honey.
The elegance of the architecture in Pebble Beach trickles out to many corners of coastal Monterey, enticing movie stars, musicians and billionaire moguls to settle here. Clint Eastwood is the most infamous resident of the area, having served as mayor of Carmel in the late 1980s. Rupert Murdoch, Doris Day and countless others in the vaunted upper crust have purchased homes here.
Of course, this means that this can quickly become an expensive vacation as Michelin-rated restaurants and $500-per-night hotels have sprung up to cater to this wealthy clientele. Check out the plush L'Auberge in Carmel, and be sure to melt with a massage at one of the world-class spas like Accista Spa or the Spa on the Plaza.
One especially fruity note came in my glass — Monterey is known for its outstanding wines, especially chardonnay and pinots noir. The county produces more grapes than Napa and Sonoma combined, and that many grapes from the Central Coast go into Napa/Sonoma-branded wines. The soil has stellar mineral content, which makes for uniquely robust wines.
Monterey is one of those special places that is widely popular and accessible to many, while maintaining that rare ability to make someone feel like they are the only person in the whole wide world that knows about it.
Oops. Secret's out now.
7 steps for staying fit on the road
All of us have priorities when we travel. For gay men, staying healthy while relaxing and over-eating in local cuisines is often high up on the list. Unfortunately, the two don't always go hand-in-hand.
Here are a few tricks for keeping that beach body even when temptations abound.
Plan ahead. When staying at a hotel, inquire ahead about its gym facilities. Ask about the equipment and browse pictures on the website; and inquire whether access to the gym is 24/7 and free to all guests or comes with an additional fee. A lot of hotels claim to have gyms, but actually offer little more than a glorified storage closet with a few barbells that look borrowed from the Flintstones. If staying at a house or other single-family property, search online for any nearby facilities. Call those and ask about short-term rates and make a game plan. Get your ducks in a row.
Remember that there's no such thing as "vacation" calories. You've probably heard people try to justify an unhealthy meal by saying, "It's OK — I' m on vacation." Bullshit. While there is nothing wrong with the occasional indulgence, it's important to remember the obvious: Your body doesn't process food any differently when you're on a vacation than it does while you're at home. Calories are calories. And the more you travel, the more important this rule becomes.
Stay hydrated. It's easy not to get your daily requirement of water while traveling — on the road, it's much easier to opt for soft drinks, alcohol, etc. Make an effort to drink water. It provides a ton of great benefits including boosting your metabolism and curbing your appetite.
Use your feet. One of the best ways to explore a new city and get the most out of what it has to offer is on foot. That's also great way to exercise. Push yourself to walk instead of taking buses and cabs everywhere. It will help counteract some of those extra calories we tend to consume while traveling — and you'll probably discover a few hidden gems along the way.
Be flexible. Exercise doesn't need to be all-or-nothing. Maybe your typical gym routine at home is a 60-minute intense cardio burner, but you only have 30 minutes of free time each day. As Tim Gunn would say, "Make it work." Do what you can with what you've got! A half hour of exercise is better than none.
Stock the mini-fridge. For the record, there is nothing "mini" about this bar's caloric content. If possible, squeeze some of your own grocery items into the space between the candy bars, chips and booze. Stock up on fresh cut fruit, veggies and sandwiches. Making smart choices with the mini-fridge will help you cut down on killer restaurant meals.
Exercise in your room. If your accommodations don't include a fitness facility — or if you're not adventurous enough to use it — you can still get a great workout in the comfort of your room. Browse some aerobic videos on YouTube to get some cardio, and use your bodyweight as resistance for strength training. There are a million possibilities.
Being a frequent traveler doesn't need to be a death sentence for your fitness program or a prescription for obesity. Keep your game face on and you'll be pleased with the results: More energy, better sleep and increased immune system performance, just to name a few.
