SAGU alumnus holds book signing on campus
Waxahachie, TX – March 5, 2012 – Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) alumnus Bart Cannon held a book signing SAGU's Nelson Memorial Library for his new book titled "From Janitor to Justice: The Life of Felipe Reyna."
Cannon has an extensive business background, coupled with many years of experience as a bi-vocational pastor and church leader. His message has spanned to several countries, including Honduras, South Africa, Mozambique, Siberia (Russia) and several states across the United States.
Bart Cannon graduated from SAGU with a master's in Theological Studies. Cannon also has a master's degree in Leadership Studies from Dallas Baptist University and earned a business degree from the University of Alabama.
Even as a distance education (DE) graduate student, Cannon thoroughly enjoyed SAGU. He enjoyed the "fly-in" DE courses that allowed him to meet his peers and professors and the college campus environment. "I enjoyed everything about my time at SAGU," says Cannon. "I love to learn and met fantastic people."
While pursuing his graduates studies at SAGU, Cannon was writing "From Janitor to Justice." Cannon has also written many articles for the "Cleburne Times-Review." Over the years he has written many "human interest" style articles about current events from a spiritual perspective and interviews with sports personalities and musicians.
"My hope was that the theology degree would lead to opportunities to teach biblical topics at some point," says Cannon. Cannon later plans on teaching at a Bible college or missions training school in the United States or overseas. This fall, Cannon plans on pursuing a Master of Divinity.
In 2003, Bart Cannon also wrote his book titled "Champions Through Christ: Winning the Game of Life," which weaves Alabama's Paul "Bear" Bryant's football formula with biblical principles. The book includes testimonies of former players and a challenging message from Cannon's personal testimony.
"From Janitor to Justice" is an authorized biography of Justice Felipe Reyna, the story goes from his upbringing in a poor family to his graduating at the top of his class and becoming a judge in Texas. Reyna's story later was called "a dream as big as Texas."
Several reviews on Cannon's book suggest that it should be read by every American child because of its display of the fulfillment of the American dream. The biography is available on Amazon.

Book offers rare glimpse into Goldman Sachs
By Christina Rexrode, AP Tuesday, October 23, 2012, 12:01 am TWN
NEW YORK--Greg Smith wrote the essay that echoed across Wall Street like a thunderclap.
Smith was a vice president at Goldman Sachs until March. He announced his departure from the investment bank with a blistering editorial in The New York Times, accusing Goldman of routinely deceiving clients and relentlessly pursuing profit at the expense of morality.
And he struck a nerve. The essay went viral in the financial world and beyond. Smith was praised for uncloaking corruption that was crying out to be addressed, and also derided as a disgruntled employee.
Goldman Sachs denies Smith's allegations about deceiving clients. The bank says it took his concerns seriously, thoroughly investigated them, and found no evidence to support them.
Smith's book, "Why I Left Goldman Sachs," is being released Monday. It's a window into a company that is notoriously tight-lipped, with stories about a swaggering place where interns arise for 5 a.m. meetings and business trips mean slapping down US$150 for one person's dinner.
What Smith hopes to do, he says, is educate people about how Wall Street works, and fuel a public conversation about what went wrong ethically, and how to fix it. The practices that caused the financial crisis, he says, were never really resolved; they're just lying dormant.
Smith, 33, gave his first print interview to The Associated Press. Excerpts have been edited for clarity and length.
Q: Tell us about March 14, the day you left Goldman. You were working in the London office, and you say you had already cleaned out your desk and had been told the editorial would go online at 7 a.m. your time.
A: I get up at 6 a.m., and I type a very heartfelt email to nine people in Europe, including the CEO of Goldman Europe, and express in very personal terms why I'm leaving. I talk about exactly what I thought was wrong with the place, this obvious deceit of clients.
Within five minutes I get an email back from someone on the management committee in Europe who says, "I'm really surprised to hear this. I'm in London today. I'd love to meet with you." I get two voice mails from two other people. And then at 6:57 or 6:58, the piece comes online.
Q: What did the bank do?
A: My work BlackBerry stayed on for about three more hours, and I started getting emails from clients who were saying, "We completely agree with you, we don't trust Goldman Sachs, we do business with you guys with a 'buyer beware' attitude." I started getting text messages from Goldman managing directors who were supportive as well. And Goldman reached out to me in formal fashion and said, "We're sorry to hear you resigned; we'd like to air these concerns out."
Q: The bank denies everything you've charged about them ripping off clients.
A: The thing that disappoints me most is that management is denying there's a problem. Why not try to repair the trust instead? Clients are telling you they don't trust you. There's been an SEC fraud suit that was settled for half a billion dollars.
(The Securities and Exchange Commission accused the bank of selling investments to clients when the bank believed the investments were going to fail. Goldman paid US$550 million. It remains the largest SEC penalty paid by a Wall Street firm.)
I'm not some lone voice who thought there was a problem, a change from a client fiduciary model (doing what's best for the client) to use-the-client-to-extract-wealth model. It's a problem that many, many of my colleagues felt and that the public feels as well, borne out in SEC suits and congressional testimonies and clients saying publicly that they don't trust us.

Market Report: Pears at Penryn + a Persimmon Update (Say That 5 X Fast)
At the Santa Monica farmers market yesterday morning, farmer Jeff Rieger of Penryn Orchard Specialties wanted to talk about persimmons. On the table were crates of Muscat de Hambourg grapes (the last day for them). Yali Chinese pears, with their "hint of star anise" (a couple more weeks). Mutsu, also called Crispin, apples (a month or so). And at the other side of the stand, boxes of 3 more varieties of Asian pears--Chojuro, 20th Century, and Shinseiki. All very nice, but in a week or two Rieger and girlfriend Laurence Hauben will be bringing persimmons, specifically chocolate persimmons, from the farm in Placer County, in the Sierra foothills way up near Sacramento. (If you think farmers just mosey in from a few miles away, Rieger will be happy to correct the impression.)
Chocolate persimmons are "richer, more complex," said Rieger, who grows 9 different kinds of persimmons, among them 3 varieties--Maru, Hyakume and Tsuru Noko--of the chocolate. He's already eaten a couple, and early reports are very good.

"My trees are irreplaceable," says Rieger, who has owned and operated Penryn Orchard Specialties since 1980. "There's no root stock or records at all," he says of his persimmon trees. Because persimmon trees hybridize, there are, according to the farmer, "an infinite number of persimmons." To read more about Rieger's persimmon obsession, check out his website, or just ask him the next time you're walking by at the market. Either Rieger or Hauben, a French-born cooking teacher, will be happy to speak persimmon with you.

Trailer: Ice Age 4: Continental Drift
6:00 PM on 03.05.2012 // Matthew Razak@MatthewRazak
You know I was a fan if the Ice Age movies. OK, Ice Age movie. But the second one was actually pretty enjoyable even if I never expected them to launch a franchise out of the first. The third one is where things started to get a bit worrisome. See, you can only pretend that a bunch of extinct animals who would normally have nothing to do with each other survive so long. I mean the earth shattering (literally in the newest films case) events are just not something a single group of friends could have lived through.
I suppose children don't care that much about accurate historical representations of animal life and major changes in the planet, though. Maybe it's just bothering me that the characters would need to be thousands of years old by now to live through all these things.
Well, if that doesn't bother you than enjoy the new trailer. Looks like the last movie, but with pirates. Cause, you know, pirates are sooo trendy.

Brexit reinforces Britain's imperial amnesia - 0 views
leading Brexiters and advocates of "Global Britain" misunderstand the past — with dangerous consequences for the future. They speak warmly of returning to Britain's historical vocation as a "great trading nation", when it was actually a great imperial nation. That important distinction leads to overconfidence about the ease of re-creating a global trading destiny, in a world in which Britannia no longer rules the waves.
For a Martian historian, the most interesting thing about modern British history would surely be that the country built a massive global empire. But for the Brits themselves, shaping a national story that centres around the war against the Nazis — rather than the empire — makes psychological sense. It has allowed Britain to nurture a national self-image as champions of freedom and plucky underdogs (captured in the eternal popularity of the television programme Dad's Army) rather than imperialist oppressors.
Victory in Europe was a moment of national triumph that cushioned the psychological blow of the loss of empire. All British opinion formers have 1945 stamped on their memory — the year that marked victory in Europe. Few would be able to tell you that 1947 was the year of the independence of India.

Heading into the Phillip Island â101â round of the Australian GT Championship presented by Pirelli with the Trophy Class points lead, Equity-One Motorsport team-mates Dean Koutsoumidis and James Winslow knew the target was on their backs, but dual Australian Formula 3 champion Winslow admitted that they werenât too concerned.
âWe came down here testing last week, and Dean was running easily in the 1:30s, which is the first time heâs done that, and he did it comfortably,â the Englishman - who it has just been revealed, will drive at the biggest sportscar race in the world next month, the 24 Hours of Le Mans - revealed.
âItâs a combination of being comfortable in the car, but also having someone with experience like James who can assist me as a coach. Most people who compete at a high level have coaches, and motorsport is no different, and Iâm finding it incredibly valuable..â Koutsoumidis beamed on reviewing the practice times from Fridayâs official practice sessions.
Fifth on aggregated times in the damp and testing conditions, the Equity-One Motorsport Audi R8 LMS was looking good during qualifying, Winslow posting the seventh fastest time, but while the Melbourne Performance Centre [MPC] team were high-fiving, Winslow looked less than impressed..
âIâm a racer, and I could see pole, no problem at all, but this is a team sport and they felt that on strategy, it was wiser for us to start back from the front row to eliminate some of the extra time penalty we would incur during the compulsory pit stop [CPS] versus the guys on the grid in front if us. They were right of course, but I wanted pole.. [laughs].â
Starting from the fourth row of the grid, Koutsoumidis charged off the line, battling hard with pole-sitter Steve McLaughlan and the sister MPC Audi of Rod Salmon - the three teams who made up the Sandown Trophy Class podium.
âI got a great start and was having a fantastic battle with Steve and Rod, but also staying mindful that we would leap-frog them both during the CPS,â Koutsoumidis explained.
âMy times were great, we werenât losing too much time to the leaders and ultimately Iâd managed to break clear of both Steve and Rod and started battling with Roger Lago in the Lamborghini.. I was having an absolute ball, itâs probably the most comfortable Iâve ever been in the Audi, and funnily enough, consistently as fast or faster than Iâd ever been around Phillip Island!â
Tragically though, fate - or rather - an errant Roger Lago intervened, and Koutsoumidis was eliminated from the race after just 19 laps.
The Equity-One Motorsport Audi had only just been taken by Lago the lap prior, so Koutsoumidis was still within striking distance to take position eight back from the former series regular after he became caught up in slower traffic.
Coming through Southern Loop and into Honda corner (turn four), Lago seemed reluctant to pass Keith Kassulke in the Ascari. This allowed the door to open on the inside of Honda corner, but Koutsoumidis eased out of the power to give the two cars room to go side-by-side after Lago began to look for a way past.
On the exit the two cars in front ran wide, so Koutsoumidis shot the Audi down the inside, but as he effected the pass, the Lamborghini clipped the Ascari as it made its way down the outside, turning it across the circuit and into the left rear wheel of the Equity-One Audi.
From there Koutsoumidis was a passenger as the Audi spun down the wet grass into the infield, righting itself just as it approached an earth embankment.
The onboard footage shows a quite dramatic impact with the wall - the end result.. game over..
âI was just minding my own business, but I could see Roger and Keith holding each other up on the exit of Honda, and there was plenty of room down the inside, so I went for it,â Koutsoumidis explained.
âI was most of the way past, then bang, around I went. I thought both Keith and Roger were fighting too hard for position, but it looks like Keith was just holding his ground and Roger might have gotten onto the wet ripple strip which turned him across in front of the Ascari, and straight into me..
âWhat can you say.. right place at the wrong time..â
âYes, itâs disappointing,â Winslow admitted from pit lane, âbut on a positive note, Deanâs pace was exceptional. He was doing everything we needed him too and we were well positioned to be on the outright podium, and certainly, in with a good shot of winning the Trophy Class for the second round in a row.â
Damage to the front of the mid-engined Audi was not insignificant, however the MPC team were soon planning repairs to be ready for the third round of the Australian GT Championship presented by Pirelli on the V8 Supercar program at the Townsville street circuit on July 4-6.

So I was playing bf4 and everything worked properly, then i went off for like 5 hours and since then PunkBuster keeps kicking me from servers and gives me this message:
Solved! Go to Solution.
10-07-2013 06:14 PM - edited 10-07-2013 06:25 PM
Here is an error message I get when BF4 beta closes up on me.
Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'XXXXXX' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe initialization failed
What is this supposed to be ?
i have the same problem and i cant play now
I initally thought, some game server admin was kicking me out for some reason !
But then when i saw the lines "Punkbuster.exe" i ruled out that possibility. Guess it's a game issue.
When I keep on trying to join a Battlefield 4 beta server I am kicked by PunkBuster- PunkBuster kicked player 'lambiam2011' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Corrupted File/Memory [81495]. I don't understand why. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have this too, but its only been since i installed M$ driver to use my xbox 360 controller.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player '' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Corrupted File/Memory [81495]
Same error, but its not windows related. because i just saw origin installing an update for bf4 beta. so as of the update you get kicked out for cheating no matter if you do or not... nice work EA/DICE and yet another game that doesnt work.
Hi everyone,
We received reports from players experiencing disconnections from the Battlefield 4 beta servers, possibly with a PunkBuster error message (stating "you were kicked by PunkBuster").
We are currently investigating this issue internally and will update you here as soon as we have more info.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
I hade problem with this, and it is a 2 part fix for the problem:
1. Run "pbsvc.exe" in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4"
2. Click "TestServices" andpunkbusterwilltrytheservice.
The text in the "Punkbuster Services Test" probably say something like this:
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\PnkBstrA.exe NO
Is PnkBstrB explicitly allowed?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\PnkBstrB.exe NO"
This solution can help you if the logs say NO on "PnkBstrA" and PnkBstrB !!!
If your log say NO, "PnkBstrA" and "PnkBstrB" is located in wrong folder on your computer.
1. Open up "C:\Windows\SysWOW64"
2. Find "PnkBstrA" and "PnkBstrB"
3. Copy or Cut both files from the folder
4. Paste "PnkBstrA" and "PnkBstrB" in to the folder "C:\Windows\System32"
5. If there is questions about permissions, click Ok/Yes
Now the files are restored to the right folder and all we need to do is to tell windows firewall to accept this apps to communicate:
1. Open the control panel and go to: "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Firewall\Allowed apps"
2. Click the "Change Settings" button
3. Press Ok/Yes if there is a question about permissions
4. Click the "Allow another app..." button
5. Press "browse..." and chose the file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\PnkBstrA.exe"
6. Press "OK"
7. Press "Add"
8. Repeat step 4-7 but with the file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\PnkBstrB.exe" Instead
Your problem should now be fixed and you are free to enjoy.

FIREFIGHTERS have paid tribute to the true British hospitality of residents in a Marlow street after crews moved in for a week to help them battle flooding.
Garnet Court was badly affected by the recent floods which dogged large parts of Marlow and other low lying-areas along the River Thames.
With nearly every house affected by floodwater and residents using their own pumps to help repel the deluge, firefighters came to their rescue by pumping away water from overloaded drains.
Since Thursday, crews from Marlow, High Wycombe and Beaconsfield have taken turns during the constant operation to protect properties.
Residents have rallied together to support the workers, bringing hot drinks to keep them going through the long shifts.
And on Saturday, they even brought out the barbeque to treat hungry firefighters to sausages and burgers as they toiled to keep the area dry.
Richard Boast, Watch Manager at Marlow Fire Station, paid tribute to the people of Garnet Court for their friendship and support.
He said: "On behalf of all the firefighters I'd like to thank all the residents at Garnet Court.
"Virtually 24 hours a day they have been keeping us going by bringing us cups of tea and cakes.
"What we found absolutely amazing is late on Saturday afternoon they fired up a barbeque for us and must have fed three different crews.
"Literally every one of the houses was flooded, and people talk about the British way of doing things and everyone pulling together and getting on with it, and they really have.
"All the Garnet Court residents have been absolutely brilliant. The kids have even been drawing us pictures to take with us back to the fire station."
With river levels dropping, Bucks Fire and Rescue confirmed that the final crew left the scene at around 1pm today, over five days since they arrived.
A spokesman said if further pumping is required, it will be provided by Transport for Buckinghamshire.
Resident Jeremy Chinn thanked the firefighters for all their hard work.
He tweeted: "Sad to see you go. Will sort a BBQ later in 2014 so all the boys can share a beer with us this time! Thanks again for everything."

North Carolina Vs Ohio
March 24, 2012 by staff
North Carolina Vs Ohio, North Carolina Tar Heels fans certainly considered the possibility of being upset by the Ohio Bobcats after integral point guard Kendall Marshall was lost to a broken wrist, and their worst fears almost came to fruition on Friday night in St. Louis. But the Tar Heels dominated the Bobcats in overtime, outscoring them 10-2 in the process of securing a 73-65 victory and thus advancing to the Elite Eight to take on the winner of the game between the Kansas Jayhawks and North Carolina State Wolfpack.
The Tar Heels often looked lost on offense, and with back up point guard Stillman White not doing much more than swinging the ball around the perimeter, North Carolina was essentially playing 4-5 on offense for most of the night. Much of the offensive burden fell on the shoulders small forward Harrison Barnes to create from the perimeter, but he only made three of his 16 shots from the field, finishing with 12 points and seven rebounds.
North Carolina's reliance on Barnes despite his struggles illustrated how reliant they were on Marshall to initiate the offense. Aside from Barnes, the rest of North Carolina's core turned in stellar games. Tyler Zeller led the Tar Heels with 20 points on 8-14 shooting, but that was more than overshadowed by his 23 rebounds, which was four off of Ohio's entire total as a team. North Carolina also received a huge boost from unsung guard Reggie Bullock, who made five of his ten three point attempts, finishing with 17 points and ten rebounds.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/6/2013 (1524 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg shoppers are likely to see subtle, gradual changes as their Safeway stores become Sobeys stores. Through their Empire Company Limited corporate umbrella, the Sobeys last week bought the Canadian assets of Safeway Inc. for $5.8 billion to become the top grocer in Western Canada.
The Sobey family distinguishes different market segments among grocery shoppers -- convenience, fresh-food, full-service, discount and others -- and brands its stores accordingly. Like Safeway, Empire relies on tight central direction, plenty of staff training, abundant digital data from loyalty programs to detect opportunities. Unlike Safeway, Empire differentiates the discount market, the high-end market, the freshness market, and the convenience market and the ethnic market. Safeway stores may gradually be re-branded to cater to the different types of shoppers the new owner discovers in the consumer data.
The Sobey family has been a player in the grocery market of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. for many years. Through its Sobeys, IGA, FreshCo, Foodland, Thrifty Foods, Needs and Lawtons Drugs brands, it already had 32 stores in Manitoba, 15 in Saskatchewan, 141 in Alberta and 32 in B.C.
Now, in one stroke, the family has picked up another 23 stores in Winnipeg -- making it the boss grocer in this market -- and 213 in all of Canada along with central administration, dairies, bakeries and a warehousing and distribution network heavily weighted to Western Canada. Empire reported sales of $16.2 billion in 2012. With the addition of Canada Safeway's $6.7 billion in annual sales, Empire should now be a $23-billion company.
Even though Empire is a publicly traded company, the Sobey family is clearly in charge. Paul D. Sobey, president and chief executive officer, is backed by a board of directors that also includes David F. Sobey, Frank C. Sobey (the firms's real estate chief), John R. Sobey, Karl R. Sobey and Robert G.C. Sobey. Non-voting Class A shares trade in the market. The family holds the Class B voting shares. Family members can sell Class B shares within the family without offering equivalent terms to holders of Class A shares. Robert P. Dexter, a leading Halifax lawyer, is chairman of the board. As long as the Sobey family agree among themselves, the firm will enjoy unity of purpose at the top.
The firm last year offered its distribution network to the Target chain, whose entry into the Canadian retail market has alarmed apparel and grocery merchants across the country. Other chains may be victims of Target -- Empire will be its supplier. Empire may now be in a position to offer the Safeway warehouses and trucks in B.C. and the Prairies to supply Target grocery departments.
The firm aims to use technology to keep abreast of consumer tastes and preferences. The firm announced last year a plan to provide digital data, including the fishing captain's logbook, along with the fish it sells so that consumers can see for themselves when and where the fish was landed and whether it was caught through sustainable methods.
The grocery business never grows much but it grows most of the time. Families don't need a new car or a new flat-screen TV every year but they need vegetables and cleaning products every week in pretty predictable quantities. From 2001 to 2010, by Statistics Canada's estimate of July 2012, sales of all Canada's grocery stores rose at an annual rate of 4.1 per cent. Grocers' costs outstripped their prices in those years, however, so that net revenues of all the country's grocers shrank to $1.9 billion in 2010 from $2.8 billion in 2001. Grocery chains improved their market share to 57.3 per cent of the market in 2010 from 54.8 per cent in 2001.
The share available to non-chain grocers shrank accordingly, but the surviving independents still give the chains stiff competition in price and service.

The formal warning letters will be sent as part of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) inquiry into the Stockwell Tube shooting.
Mr Menezes was shot seven times in the head by firearms officers in a London Tube carriage in July 2005.
The IPCC launched an investigation and is due to publish its report in March.
Officials said the warning "Salmon letters" will be sent to all those who may face criticism as a result of the inquiry into the shooting on the London Underground on 22 July 2005.
A spokeswoman for the IPCC would not confirm to whom the letters would be sent.
"We are about to commence sending out Salmon letters imminently - today or tomorrow," she said.
"The Salmon letters are due to go out to a number of individuals, we are not commenting on any speculation."
Letter origins
The Salmon letter is named after Lord Justice Salmon, who chaired a royal commission into public inquiries in 1966.
He recommended that warnings and details of accusations should be sent to anyone who might face criticism.
Last month the IPCC said no-one should "make any assumptions" about the report's conclusions.
After the letters have been sent, the recipients will be given the chance to respond.
The report will then be given to the Metropolitan Police Authority before it is published.
Mr Menezes, 27, a Brazilian electrician, was shot inside a train at Stockwell Tube station in south London by police who mistook him for a suicide bomber.
It was a day after an alleged attempt to detonate bombs on London's transport network and two weeks after the 7 July terror attacks.
The IPCC's inquiry, which was launched a month after the shooting and is codenamed "Stockwell 2", investigated complaints by the family of Mr de Menezes over police statements about the shooting.

Dairy heifers are often the forgotten animals on the farm until they calve. But, paying attention to their housing and hygiene during pregnancy can influence whether or not they may get mastitis before they ever have a calf. "Unfortunately, it's still true that producers may have the perception that heifer mastitis is not a problem," says Steve Nickerson, PhD,
The highest-risk period of time for heifers to be exposed to mastitis-causing bacteria is after puberty when glands start to develop and produce secretions, which will support growth of bacteria. Steve Oliver, PhD, Univer-sity of
When infection happens
It's been shown that the prevalence of heifer mastitis is highest in the last trimester of pregnancy (Fox, 1995). There are several reasons this may happen. Seasonality may be a part of it. Oliver says infections are higher in summer, next highest in the spring, then in the fall and winter, respectively.
Single-calf housing that is frequently moved can help prevent early exposure to mastitis-causing pathogens.
Nickerson says warm weather that brings on flies and higher ambient temperatures along with humidity are conducive to bacterial growth in the environment and on heifers' teat skin. "Also, pasturing heifers with older, infected cows may enhance cross infections, especially in warm seasons when flies can serve as vectors."
Jim Brett, DVM,
Nickerson adds that many heifers -- sometimes greater than 50% -- can become infected at the same time. Brett notes that he has not seen an incidence rate over 10-15% in a group showing "clinical signs" at a common time, but there may be several subclinical cases that become clinical later. "This promotes the quandary: If you have a high clinical incidence, do you treat only the individuals or the whole group?" he asks.
Brett agrees that the most common time to find clinical mastitis is in springers and adds that the next most common time is pre-breeding (10-15 months), and, "at least we find them when they're brought up for breeding, which is a neglected group."
Examining heifers
Heifers can be examined during a variety of growth phases and when herd management practices allow, such as during AI, pregnancy check or hoof trimming. Nickerson looks for abnormal appearance and consistency of secretion and occasionally hard, indurated quarters.
Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) is the most prevalent organism in these third trimester mastitis cases. However, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli and Streptococcus can also be found.
Culturing is not routinely done for heifer mastitis, mainly because of the expense. "It's impossible to get owners to do it," Brett says, "and since our clinical cure rate has been so good, they ask, 'Is it really necessary to spend the money, and then what do we do differently as a result of identifying the organisms?'"
Steve Nickerson, PhD, says many producers don't realize heifer mastitis can be a problem.
Brett says 90% of the time only one quarter is infected, but more than one quarter can be infected at the same time. "Aggressive treatment for a minimum of seven days has clinically cleared 90% of the cases," he says. "If they don't respond to a second week of treatment with a different antibiotic, tube and injection, they don't ever clear." Nickerson adds that infections can persist for a year or more.
Severe infections resulting in blind quarters can also result in heifers being culled. Nickerson says early detection, even of a severe S. aureus case, can respond favorably to treatment if treatment is done well before calving and with dry cow therapy.
Some of Brett's clients will calve out heifers that have had severe infections and milk them as three-quarter cows and see how well they produce before making culling decisions.
Jim Brett, DVM, checks for mastitis in pre-breeding heifers -- an often negelected group.
Risk factors
Nickerson notes three important risk factors: "Fly control is critical. Do not allow heifers to suckle one another, and use separate hutches." Along with that, Brett suggests for baby calves single-calf housing that is frequently moved, and never feeding calves mastitis milk.
Though Brett's clients have heifers on pasture, they have fly problems in low areas, wet areas around feed and water troughs and other contaminated areas that draw flies. Another risk factor he notes is overcrowding, which leads to contaminated bedding and more fly problems. (See risk factors sidebar.)
Many of the risk factors can be controlled with a clean environment and fly control, but other methods may not work as well. Oliver notes a study in which two quarters of heifers were teat-dipped three weeks before calving, three times per week with a 0.1% iodine barrier dip. Despite the dipping, Oliver says there was no difference between dipped and control quarters and no improvement in udder health.
Heifers respond better than cows to the treatment of S. aureus using dry cow therapy, 95% and 65%, respectively, says Nickerson.
Steve Oliver, PhD, says
Oliver found that lactating cow therapy seven to 14 days pre-calving was effective in eliminating many intramammary infections during late gestation (Oliver 1992, 1997, 2003), especially those caused by CNS.
"If you treat these infected heifers and basically allow them to calve uninfected," explains Oliver, "during the entire lactating period up to the time of dry off, the difference in magnitude between heifer mammary quarters and isolated pathogens in controls versus treated animals is huge, and it's maintained throughout the entire lactation."
One distinct disadvantage, however, to lactating cow therapy pre-calving is the potential for antibiotic residues in milk. Oliver says 85% of colostrum samples from animals treated with cephapirin seven days before expected calving were positive for residues in milk. At the sixth milking (or the time that milk was likely to go into the bulk tank), 28% percent of samples obtained still contained residues. "That's totally unacceptable, even if the antibiotic is effective at eliminating infections," says Oliver.
However, a subsequent study by Oliver demonstrated that when heifers were treated with cephapirin 14 days before calving, only four of 127 samples (3.1%) obtained from cephapirin-treated mammary quarters at the sixth milking after calving were positive -- and three of the four positive samples came from a heifer that calved within three days of treatment. Results of this study showed that intramammary infusion of cephapirin earlier in the prepartum period reduced the occurrence of residues in milk during early lactation without impacting treatment efficacy.
Nickerson says, however, that use of lactating cow therapy using one infusion at one to two weeks prepartum cannot be expected to cure S. aureus infections --- these must be treated with dry cow therapy during pregnancy, says Nickerson. However, on a practical basis, Brett adds that producer compliance in treating these animals prepartum is poor.
If the udder is not severely inflamed, Brett uses intramammary dry cow tubes when he finds clinical cases of heifer mastitis. All cases also receive systemic antibiotics. "We use the long-acting forms to limit treatments to every two or three days," he says. "Treatment for at least seven days is advised and medications are changed after that seven-day period if they are not responding."
Key points about heifer mastitis
Steve Oliver, PhD, offers these keys points about heifer mastitis:
It occurs frequently in breeding age, pregnant and early-lactation heifers.
Many intramammary infections persist, causing increased somatic cell counts, impairing mammary development and decreasing production.
Several risk factors have been identified.
Prepartum antibiotic therapy is an effective strategy to control heifer mastitis.
Oliver's studies show that antibiotic-treated heifers produced significantly more milk with lower
SCCthan controls, making it very cost-effective.
Residues in milk can occur if heifers calve early.
Milk should be tested before commingling in the bulk tank.
Poor and crowded calf housing can contribute to heifer mastitis.
Risk factors for heifer mastitis
High herd
Staphylococcus aureus and Mycoplasma
Absence of fly control
Summer calving
Feeding calves mastitis milk
Calves and cows contact
Absence of heifer antibiotic therapy
Poor housing conditions
Milk leakage
Udder and teat edema
Pathogens on body sites
IMIat calving increases risk of infection during lactation
IMIat calving increases risk of clinical mastitis in first week of lactation
Mastitis near calving increases risk of further cases of mastitis and culling during first 45 days of lactation

The Collège des médecins du Québec (CMQ) is legally responsible for ensuring the quality of the education received by physicians entering practice.
The CMQ's Medical Education Division (MED) uses the accreditation process to assess whether professional education criteria are being applied in postgraduate training. These criteria concern governance as well as the structure and academic content of the programs developed under the auspices of Quebec's faculties of medicine. They were established jointly by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (Royal College) and the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC).
Together with the Committee on Medical Education and Accreditation (CMEA), the CMQ is also responsible for continuing professional development (CPD) accreditation for Quebec's faculties of medicine. In addition, the CMQ provides individual accreditation for other medical bodies.
The MED conducts survey visits on a cyclical basis of postgraduate programs in Quebec's four faculties of medicine as well as of faculty units and organizations responsible for continuing professional development (CPD).
The purpose of this exercise is to support universities and organizations in achieving objectives of excellence in education for all students, residents, fellows and physicians.
All accredited postgraduate medical education programs and institutions are listed in the List of accreditations, which is updated after each meeting of the comité des études médicales et de l'agrément (Committee on Medical Education and Accreditation).
A table lists the postgraduate programs offered by each of Quebec's faculties of medicine.
As of January 1, 2016, the form Application for the addition of a training site for a residency program clinical rotation must be used, irrespective of the duration of the clinical rotation.
Assistant-deans are asked to approve the application and make themselves accountable by confirming that the site complies with standards A and B of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
For the use of the same training site, for the same program, by more than one faculty:
The associate deans of the two faculties concerned must first conclude an agreement and inform the CMQ thereof.
N. B. All applications must be submitted to the CMEA.
Since the accreditation process has been harmonized, the Associate Dean must contact either the CFPC or the Royal College.

Incomplete markets, transaction costs and liquidity effects
An agent's optimization problem of the expected terminal wealth utility in a trinomial tree economy is solved. At each transaction date, the agent can trade in a riskless asset, a primitive asset subject to constant proportional transaction costs, and a contingent claim characterized by some parameter kappa whose bid and ask price is defined by allowing for different equivalent martingale measures. In addition to the classical portfolio choice problem, the characteristic of the contingent claim κ is determined endogenously in the optimization problem. Under suitable conditions, it is proved that the optimal demand of the agent in the primitive risky asset is zero independently of the choice of the terminal wealth utility function: the agent prefers not to trade in the asset subject to transaction costs, which prevents the market from being complete, rather than trading in both assets. Next, the optimal choice of the contingent claim is characterized and the results are applied to European call and put options with fixed maturity and varying exercise price κ.

YOU only had to glance at The Age's tipping panel on Friday morning or the betting markets to get an idea what people expected to happen in yesterday's MCG Carlton-Essendon clash. In the paper, 23 out of 24 tipsters had backed the Blues, the only exception the satirical ''Village Idiot''. At TAB Sportsbet, meanwhile, you could get a lucrative $8 on the Bombers.
But not for the first time in this clash of traditional rivals, logic and form ended up counting for little. It was Essendon, which even though unbeaten had failed to seriously impress this season, that instead ended up doing a number on Carlton.
The Blues had shot to flag favouritism after dismissing Collingwood last week. But they looked flat from the outset yesterday, struggled to cope with the loss of midfielder Andrew Carrazzo, who damaged his shoulder six minutes into the match, and gradually succumbed under the weight of Essendon scoring opportunities.
For the Bombers it was a particularly sweet victory, having been drummed out of last year's finals by the Blues, and struggling to keep a competitive 22 on the field with at least half-a-dozen players missing with soft-tissue injuries.
Carlton suddenly has a fair challenge on its hands next Friday night against Fremantle in Perth. But so does Essendon, which must back up for the big Anzac Day blockbuster against Collingwood on Wednesday with only three days to prepare, and almost certainly without key forward Michael Hurley, who left the ground with hamstring soreness just before half-time and was subbed out of the game eight minutes into the third quarter.
Indeed, the eagerly awaited annual clash between the Magpies and Bombers could be missing several key players, with Collingwood also feeling the injury toll, the latest casualties Dale Thomas and Heath Shaw, neither of whom lined up against Port Adelaide and who won't be fronting up to the MCG in just over 72 hours.
It is the sort of quick turnaround not seen since the days in the 1970s and '80s when league footballers would play on Saturday before fronting up again for the old night series at Waverley on a Tuesday night. In a game these days far more taxing on body and mind, it's a far bigger ask. That said, Wednesday is also a blockbuster which now at least will boast two teams with confidence on the rise, the Magpies back on the winners' list, and Essendon basking in the glow of beating an old foe.

Amazon has a really sweet promotion going right now: Buy a LeapFrog LeapPad1 for $79, Get a Free Gel Case and 50% Off Select Software. This is the lowest price I have ever seen for the Leappad and you get a free case ($9 value) and 50% off games. Games are normally around $15 each so that drops the price to only $7.50 each.
NOTE: These were the "It Gift" last year and they were selling out everytime they became available (like in 20 minutes fast). So if this is on your list this year, this is a GREAT chance to hook the kiddo up with the Leappad of their dreams at a REALLY great price!
Anyone have one? Can you suggest any good games?

While one to two drinks a day have been shown many health benefits (including cardiovascular and longevity benefits), upping that amount can be a risky for more than the obvious reasons of decreased mental and physical abilities that come with excessive drinking; it's also because the day-after hangovers are linked to memory impairment and decreased visual-spatial skills-making you more prone to accidents even the day after vodkafest.
When over-imbibing is all but inevitable on some chance occasion, however, you can take a few steps during the festivities that might make the next morning a little smoother and safer for you (or the maid of honor).
- Choose light alcohol over dark alcohol. Darker drinks contain substances called congeners. They're what give flavor, color, and aroma to alcohol, but there's also a higher association with hangover headaches in drinks with congeners than in drinks without them. In short, vodka and gin trump whiskey, bourbon, and red wine.
- Eat foods with healthy fat such as avocados or walnuts while you drink. That will help slow or delay the absorption of alcohol. Same goes for honey and tomato juice, which are both rich in fructose, allowing your body to metabolize alcohol more effectively.

England coach Andy Flower says he "can't be any clearer" about his desire to continue in the job despite his side's 5-0 Ashes defeat in Australia.
Oh great, crack open the fizzy pop and celebrate that news. The game has slumped to its lowest ebb for years thanks to the shambles Down Under yet the man who was in charge wants to stay on – and the ECB are backing him.
Surely Flower should fall on his sword and he is not the only one.
The selectors carry as much blame as the coach and players and it's time for change at the top.

A NEW café is being opened by the University Hospitals Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust.
The cafe will be unveiled at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary on Monday (March 10).
It follows the success of a similar cafe at Westmorland General Hospital, thanks to the Projects Kendal, Barrow and Lancaster initiative launched in 2012.
Juliet Walters, the Trust's Chief Operating Officer, said: "We are really pleased to be unveiling our new café area.
"The whole purpose of Projects Kendal, Barrow and Lancaster was to make improvements that would make a difference to the experience patients and visitors get when in our hospitals."
The project has enabled staff, governors, GPs, and members of the public to come up with suggestions as to how the Trust could make immediate improvements to its local hospital.
The new café will open for business from Monday to Friday, between 8am and 5.30pm at the entrance to the Centenary Building.
Coffee, tea, a selection of hot and cold drinks plus hot and cold food will be available.

Price Range
Tucked away into one of the tiny aisles that cut between the two main drags of the Machane Yehuda marketplace is a high-quality cafe with a (rhyming) mouthful of a name: Mizrachi Hakol La'ofeh v'gam Cafe (Mizrachi – Everything for the Baker and Coffee too).
It's a neat conceit – not only is Mizrachi a cozy cafe, it sells the various accouterments and toys every home baker needs, or at least wants.
On the cafe side of things, the small tables (including a seating section under an awning with plastic windows) are almost always full with Israelis engaged in intense discussion over coffee, and the menu offers plenty of the dairy salads, sandwiches, soups and baked goods one expects from an Israeli cafe.
And in a move designed to make Mizrachi even cooler than it already is, every week in the summer it hosts a live music show, cramming a band (and dozens of people) into the aisle outside the restaurant, livening up the otherwise eerily empty and dark stone aisles of the shuk by night.

Catalina Hernandez, UC Merced's first Human Rights Center fellow, is spending this summer exploring how women decide to seek help from a midwife for childbirth instead of an obstetrician.
A proponent of midwifery, Hernandez said allowing women to choose their maternity care is a human-rights issue that goes beyond race or class. The pop-culture image of childbirth — a screaming mother in a hospital – distorts people's perspectives, she said.
"The birth culture in the United States is so complicated and so negative," said Hernandez, a homebirth mother of three.
This is the first year UC Merced has a human rights fellow. Part of the mission of UC Berkeley's Human Rights Center is "to train students and advocates to document violations of human rights and to turn this information into effective action."
Of the 4 million children born in the United States in 2009, the National Vital Statistics Reports showed midwives delivered 8 percent. The federal government also reported that cesarean sections reached an all-time high of 32 percent of all births. The rate has increased for 13 consecutive years.
Hernandez is interviewing between 50 and 75 women across the country about what led them to use midwives for childbirth instead of obstetricians. She plans to use the information from her study to develop education initiatives that empower women to get informed about their birth options.
"Women can't advocate for rights they don't even know they have," Hernandez said. "Childbirth is a pivotal moment in a women's life, and there's so much that goes on psychologically."
Hernandez said the United States' increased use of medical interventions — especially C-sections — has led to high morbidity and mortality rates. The United States has 5.98 deaths for every 1,000 live births, according to the CIA's World Factbook. The United States has an infant mortality rate worse than the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and other countries, despite steep increases in the amount of money spent on health care.
Norway has only 3.50 deaths for every 1,000 live births. It has 319 nurses/midwives for every 10,000 residents, the highest rate in the world, according to the World Health Organization. The United States has 98 nurses/midwives for every 10,000 residents.
Hernandez said there is a nationwide push to prohibit midwives from practicing, and several states have already enacted laws that make midwifery illegal.
"The midwifery model of care has been repeatedly proven to be safer than the obstetric model of care, and it is what the rest of the world relies on," Hernandez said. "This becomes a human rights issue because women's birth options are taken away, leaving them with a model of maternity care that is increasingly hazardous to the health of both mother and baby."
A literature and cultures major, Hernandez plans to graduate with her bachelor's degree in 2014, and continue her research in maternity care by pursuing a graduate degree in sociocultural anthropology.
Hernandez's fellowship was funded by the dean of the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts. Her work is also being supported by the Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program.
UC Merced literature Professor Nigel Hatton organized the campus's participation in the fellowship program because he wants to further develop the campus' human rights focus.
The campus already has the Violence Prevention Program, the annual Human Rights Film Festival as well as student groups focused on the topic.
"UC Merced and the faculty across the disciplines are addressing issues that relate to human rights," Hatton said. "The focus on human rights is constantly building."
