North Wales Coasts 1st dog hydrotherapy treadmill!
Project aim
Paws2Water Canine Hydrotherapy is raising funds for an underwater treadmill for rehabilitation, the first of its kind on the North Wales Coast.
About the project
There is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of this new adventure, please help by pledging today and telling everyone you know to get involved now!
My name is Ceri Johnson, I am a newly qualified Canine Hydrotherapist, with 6 years' experience within the Veterinary industry as a Veterinary Nurse Assistant & Receptionist and have a Diploma in Dog Psychology, improving my skills practically within the industry. Paws2Water Canine Hydrotherapy is the business idea that I am developing and hoping to open in the North Wales area.
Paws2Water Canine Hydrotherapy will provide rehabilitation to dogs and small animals recovering from injury, operation or suffering from ongoing degenerative conditions both Orthopaedic and Neurological. This will be achieved using specialised and individual hydrotherapy treatments and techniques with an underwater treadmill. Paws2Water will also benefit weight loss patients, providing a non-weight bearing environment to support their over loaded limbs. Other uses would include fitness treatments for agility, performance or working dogs in the area.
All patients will be referred from the areas local Veterinary Surgeons and it will be the first underwater treadmill on North Wales Coast to provide such a service. Paws2Water Canine Hydrotherapy aim to give dog owners confidence in complementary, and alternative, therapies that work alongside medicine and surgery to give their dogs the best possible care and relief from pain. This will then increase the mental and physical wellbeing of both owners and dogs.
The aim of hydrotherapy is to use the natural properties of water to aid in the treatment of injury, speed up post-operative recovery or slow the progression of degenerative conditions. Hydrotherapy provides support to allow dogs to continue to exercise while nerve regeneration takes place, or helps to relieve pressure on limbs that can aggravate certain conditions or injury by providing a non- weight bearing environment.
Why hydrotherapy treadmills?
Surface Tension
Adds resistance to specific muscle groups
Improves balance of unsteady patients
Allows patients greater reaction time
Increases confidence
Hydrostatic Pressure
Increases metabolic rate and calorific burn
Reduces heart rate and arterial pressure
Reduces peripheral oedema
Assists patient circulation
Reduces the load on painful joints
Improves core stability
Improves flexibility
Water Temperature
Relaxes muscles and aids comfort
Increases circulation
Relieves pain
Hydrotherapy assists:
Rehabilitation – Circulation – Balance and Stability – Gait and Posture – Psychological Wellbeing – Pain management
The Professionals Choice – Practice Benefits:
The Canine underwater treadmill allows the therapist greater control over the therapeutic exercise. Making it easier to encourage patients to enter and exit the equipment. Hydrotherapy allows the therapist to selectively exercise a limb.
A Hydrotherapy treadmill unit can be a valuable addition, they are proven complimentary treatments. Along with the treadmill we will also need other equipment such as a doggie shower area for before and after treatment, a blow dryer, float coats and harnesses, computers and telephones, and the all important TREATS!!
Paws2Water Canine Hydrotherapy will provide individual treatment programmes for each dog referred. We pride ourselves on the passion we have to provide care and rehabilitation, and will treat each patient as if it were our own pet. Paws2Water will work closely with Veterinary surgeons who will refer any patients that would benefit from hydrotherapy, such as:
- Pre and post orthopaedic surgery
- Pre and post spinal surgery
- Orthopaedic conditions
- Neurological conditions
- Muscle atrophy (wastage)
- Obesity management
- Show dog conditioning
- Performance dog conditioning
- Working dog conditioning
- Behavioural issues- relieving excess energy and promoting focus.
The treadmill is the ultimate veterinary professional aid in the science of hydrotherapy, the canine underwater treadmill series has been designed with continuous veterinary input. A 'no compromise' approach coupled with many unique features, has made these canine water walkers the market leader and the first choice for veterinary surgeries and rehabilitation facilities world wide. An ideal environment to utilise the properties of water, offering an extremely effective hydrotherapy setting for patient care and treatment. Exercise in water is proven to be an effective method to gain faster results.

Giabao Tonthat, the oldest of five children born to a Vietnamese couple who learned English as a second language, won the 44th annual U-T San Diego Countywide Spelling Bee on Wednesday.
And he did it with determined independence.
"I study on my own and learn more on my own. My mom told me she wanted me to get a coach, but I told her, 'I can win the bee on my own,'" said Giabao, 13, an Escondido resident who attends Heritage K-8 Charter School and likes to read dictionaries to improve his vocabulary.
As the regional champion, he will get to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., from May 28-30. Last year's winner of that competition was Snigdha Nandipati of San Diego, who had captured the countywide title in 2011 and 2012.
Giabao said he became interested in spelling bees after seeing the 2011 championship on television.
"I watched how they were spelling super hard words and I told myself, 'One day I'm going to be on that stage,'" he said.
Giabao made it to last year's countywide spelling bee but said he "did horrible," being eliminated in the second round.
This year's contest was held at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. It was open to 109 seventh- and eighth-graders who had won their schools' spelling bees. Four of the students who had qualified were no-shows Wednesday.
With spelling bee master David Hay announcing each word before a panel of judges, the first round passed with 22 students eliminated. The words got more challenging in the second round, and 53 were eliminated.
Diane Rocha, a teacher at Madison Middle School in Oceanside who has coached spelling-bee contestants for 20 years, said the second round was the toughest she had ever seen.
The casualties in that round included last year's runner-up, Marinda Whetten, a student from the same school who had reached her second countywide bee with Rocha's help.
She misspelled "decastich," which refers to a 10-line poem.
"I was sort of in shock, but this one was just a really hard word," said Marinda, explaining that she forgot the "h" at the end because she was more focused on whether the word had a "c" or a "k."
Even Snigdha thought this year's competition was particularly challenging.
"It definitely was tense up there," said the national champion, who presented the winning trophy at the end of Wednesday's spelling bee. "There were a lot of really hard words. I think the words got even harder this year."
Snigdha, who reluctantly revealed that she knew the spelling of every word in Wednesday's bee, said she rooted for a few friends — including Avi Waldman from Francis Parker School in Linda Vista, which she also attends.
Avi was one of four students in the sixth and final round, along with Giabao, Anastasia Heaton of Calvin Christian School in Escondido and Onrei Ladao of Lemon Grove Academy.
Even Giabao had his moments of doubts late in the contest. As he struggled with the word "mycology" — the study of fungus — he half-jokingly asked Hay if he could have a different word.
Onrei also appeared to be on the brink of elimination when he asked Hay to pronounce "heortology" — the study of religious festivals — so many times that the spelling bee master warned him that he would read it only once more. That was enough for Onrei, who went on to ace the spelling of the word.
But the next round found him and two other remaining competitors misspelling their words, leaving only Giabao. His final challenge: "bonspiel," a tournament or match between curling clubs.
Giabao later said he didn't know there was a curling club in his own city, but he did know how to spell the word after giving it some thought.
"When I heard it, I got a good picture of how it was spelled," he said, adding that contestants sometimes make the mistake of overthinking a word.
Giabao's English language arts teacher, Lael Lloyd, said his student's enthusiasm for words is easy to see. "Ever since he became my student, I'd see him copying words in the dictionary," she said about Giabao, who has a 4.0 grade point average. "Nobody told him to do that."
Giabao's mother, Thao Tonthat, said she and her husband, Locson, emigrated from Vietnam to Canada and then moved to the United States 14 years ago. Locson's job as an electrical engineer brought the couple to Escondido in 2009.
While Thao Tonthat doesn't know English well enough to help Giabao, she said he always does well studying by himself.
Giabao had skipped playing soccer and the piano so he could concentrate on preparing the countywide spelling bee. There's more studying to do ahead of the national competition, but he planned to find some small way to celebrate Wednesday night.

Ingenia, the ASX-listed aged care village owner formerly known as ING Real Estate Community Living Group, has experienced heavy trading over the past month, with RBS Morgans handling most of the volume.
Sources say a substantial holder, contrarian fund manager Allan Gray Australia, has sold its stake at an average price of 29.5¢ a share.
Kiwi fund manager Fisher Funds is believed to be on the buy side, acquiring about 4 per cent on Tuesday alone. Fisher joins Kiwi corporate raider Sir
The company previously told investors it had been taking inbound enquiries from Kiwi investors, who have been quick to compare it to
New Zealand's Ryman is worth $NZ2.3 billion ($1.8 billion) and its shares are up 63 per cent in the past year. It trades at 20 times current year earnings.
NZ investors are comfortable with the way Ryman accounts for capital gains on properties, which is also the case at Ingenia.
Ryman and Ingenia bring forward capital gains. When they place a tenant in a home, the tenant pays an upfront fee to buy the space.
When the tenant leaves, or in most cases passes away, the unit is sold and the operator makes a capital gain. Ryman and Ingenia amortise part of this gain over the life of the stay, which requires a number of actuarial assumptions.
Ingenia has also signalled it will be an increasingly acquisitive player in the retirement sector. The company is believed to be in due diligence on up to seven new properties, having already sewn up six acquisitions since June.

Erick Thohir has plans for Javier Zanetti
Inter Milan president Erick Thohir says Javier Zanetti first needs to brush up on his English and business skills before moving upstairs this summer.
• Wilson: Retirement finally comes for ageless Zanetti
Thohir announced earlier this week that Zanetti, 40, will be retiring from the game in the summer when his current contract expires, and that he has been offered a managerial role within the Nerazzurri.
However, for him to be able to fulfil his new duties with the same authority he has shown in 20 years on the field, Thohir is to ask the Argentine to add to his skillset.
"Zanetti is going to remain part of this club," Thohir said on his club's official website. "I've spoken with him about the fact that we need to focus on our final three games of the season, but at the same time we have discussed that he needs to study English and management.
"I think it's important because he can have a big role to play within the club, but only his knowledge of how things work on the field is not enough -- he also needs management awareness. The most important thing right now, though, is that he is our player and that he can help us continue our good form over the next three games."
Inter could seal their place in the Europa League next season with victory over city rivals AC Milan in the derby this weekend, allowing Zanetti to call an end to his playing career, 19 years after joining Inter, on a high note.
Meanwhile, compatriot Diego Milito seems set to leave the club this summer. "His contract is expiring and we obviously need to talk about it with him, but we do need to examine the situation," Thohir said.
"We may need to sign a new attacker and a defender. We only have [Rodrigo] Palacio and [Mauro] Icardi."

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, 2007/08/21 - ARC Advisory Group will host their Winning Strategies for Global Manufacturers forum on November 29 December 1 at Le Meridien Hotel.
The focus of the Forum is on discrete industries which include aerospace, automotive, capital equipment, consumer products, defense, electronics, high technology, and medical equipment. Industry leaders with proven track records will share their experiences and strategies for success in these challenging but opportune times. Decision makers and thought leaders from various discrete manufacturing industries, along with suppliers of automation and enterprise solutions, will discuss the latest trends and case studies for achieving success in a global marketplace.
The Forum
In todays world, the competition is global and suppliers have no protected markets. Worldwide consumers are demanding more for less. While home grown companies have no option but to compete with global companies to earn market share, global companies need to penetrate into developing markets to preserve their share and to keep ahead of competitors. Suppliers targeting developing countries are also faced with the fact that consumer-spending is sustainable only with falling average selling prices. This means that suppliers must continually discover new ways to reduce costs and to achieve efficiencies throughout their supply chains and their design-operate-maintain cycles.
Presentations will highlight how digital manufacturing is leveraged to has-ten new product releases and improve product life cycle management. Speakers will also discuss how they integrated plant-level systems with enterprise solutions and deployed CPM (MES) systems to achieve continuous productivity improvements and supply chain efficiencies. Independent design and engineering service providers will discuss how they are helping many OEMs successfully launch product upgrades and new products, and how they can help design products for manufacturing that reduces costs through value engineering.
Workshop topics include lean manufacturing, product engineering services, PLM and Digital Manufacturing, CPM-Discrete (MES), SP-100 and SOA.
No other conference offers you such a high level of personal interaction in an environment exclusively focused on manufacturing.
Join ARC in Bangalore to learn from global industry leaders and leave with perspectives and ideas for your own team.
Gather intelligence on strategies that will help your company to be performance-driven and flexible, and have higher margin opera-tions

Tax break for ethanol passed by Wyo. SenateFeb 20, 2012 The Associated Press
CHEYENNE -- Developments on the fifth day of the Budget Session of the 2012 Wyoming Legislature:
ETHANOL TAX: The Senate for the third time passed a bill to repeal the gasoline tax credit provided to producers of ethanol. Senate File 8 now goes to the House.
REDISTRICTING: The bill to redraw legislative district lines was approved for the third time in the House. House Bill 32 now heads to the Senate.
Senate President Jim Anderson, R-Glenrock, has said it will be assigned to the Senate Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Committee.
WORKER SAFETY: The Wyoming House voted against introducing a bill to increase fines and civil penalties for employers cited for workplace safety violations. House Bill 96 was sponsored by Rep. Mary Throne, D-Cheyenne.
She told her fellow lawmakers that fines are often higher for a poacher who kills a moose in violation of the state's game laws in Wyoming than for employers cited for safety violations that result in worker deaths.
SOUND MONEY: The House voted against introducing a bill that would have authorized the use of gold and silver for the payment of debts in the state while also authorizing the creation of depositories for the precious metals. Rep. Kendell Kroeker, R-Evansville, had sponsored H.B. 100.

In my home the pecking order has routinely been: elders, matriarch of the house, the dog, the cat (while it was alive), and myself.
In my home the pecking order has routinely been: elders, matriarch of the house, the dog, the cat (while it was alive), and myself.
When the cat died I obtained a promotion, by attrition. I counted myself lucky to be above the vermin in contemptibleness until the other day when I reached a new seasonal low. The reason for the pecking order has to do with smarts. I rate low in this regard, and this is complicated by my eternal bad judgment as to people�s character. I give my car keys to a thief, my laptop to a hacker, my heart to Honey Boo Boo, and my wallet to Madoff.
The parents and the woman of the house were granted to be smarter than me, but I had some doubts about the dog. No longer. I definitely understand that man rates below dog for a number of reasons. For one thing, the dog knows that the woman is supreme. This I have some trouble with, although I am learning. Food derives from the woman, so the woman is essential. The guy exists as a sort of factotum or butler, like an �Alfred� sort of character to the woman/dog�s Batman and Robin.
�More tea, madam?�
By day, the woman runs Wayne manor, but at night, it is under the control of Alfred. After six, the dog knows it is the butler who answers all queries. If the dog wants food, an appropriate bark or scratch will achieve the desired ration. If it is 3 a.m., stormy, 15 below zero and a howling blizzard, it is the butler who rises to the occasion. If the dog wants on the bed, off the bed, on the bed, and a brief play period at 4 a.m., it is the � you get the idea.
In fact I romanticize myself as Michael Caine, but instead of Christian Bale, I serve a self-obsessed, demanding 10-pound Pomeranian who has little understanding of the human sleep cycle. The 1:30 a.m,. feeding is followed by the play-period that is followed by feeding II, a bathroom break, a play toy romp ending with me crashed on the couch with a contented and (now) tired Pomeranian in my lap, on my back, on my head, or wherever he wants to be.
There are few daytime tasks that demand my attention, but one job is the morning 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. run. The dog has a route that I must follow, and I am scratched, tugged and wrestled if I deviate from the correct direction or don�t stop for his favorite rest and urination stops. Usually these are quiet and meditative trips.
The butler is allowed to run or jog when appropriate, and the dog is generally content on a mission to ferret out vital smells from the neighborhood. There are however some serious issues. One is the smelly female setter down the street. She loves �the dog� and wishes to visit with him as he approaches, but being a confirmed bachelor, he eschews her touch, points his nose the other direction and pretends she has the plague when she barks in his direction.
On the other hand he is in love with the neighborhood tomcat who suns himself and waits for the dog to come and worship him. The dog is fascinated by the cat, a sort of a Top Cat/Elvis/Brando kind of character with a crooked ear from too many fights and a yawning grin that says, �Yeah, I�m tough. Yeah, I�m cool. You want me, don�t you?� The dog grovels and bows to this fat, gray little gangster. He walks �gangnam style,� like a devotee to k-pop�s Psy.
Normally the run is an uneventful job, but today there is a psycho beagle/mix running at us who has decided to rip the head off my Pomeranian brat. I scoop up the offended master who growls and hisses as the crazed mutt leaps up to bite the master�s tail. It is an inspired Alfred save. I reach out to swat this misguided dog, pushing the pom�s leash aside to keep him from harm.
It�s like I�m flashing the Batcape. I�m cool! What does the pom do? He bites me. Me, the loyal servant! Me, the �3 a.m. play toy-fetching� butler. Me, the �get me some water, I�m thirsty!� butler. Me the �It�s 2 a.m., I have to go outside �. now!� Me, the butler. He bites me.
Somewhere others have written of the close bond between dog and man built through the ages. This may be so, but in my dog house, the camaraderie only extends from man to dog, not the other way around.
He bit me! The next time I go walking I�m taking along a little bottle of meat tenderizer.
�Here, beagle, beagle. Supper�s ready!�
Stuart Lenig is a professor of speech and drama at Columbia State Community College.

Flood Insurance Reform Passes House, Miller Amendment Fails
Going into Tuesday's U.S. House of Representatives debate on H.R. 1309, the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2011, NAMIC had two goals – defeating an amendment proposed by Rep. Candice Miller, R-Mich., to terminate the NFIP in less than six months and winning passage for this bipartisan, commonsense reform bill.
As the results show, both of these efforts were resounding successes.
Introduced by Rep. Judy Biggert, R-Ill., H.R. 1309 passed in a landslide with 406 members voting in favor and only 22 opposed. The bill phases-in more accurate, risk-based pricing for flood insurance policies, and establishes a Technical Mapping Advisory Council to address the concerns of members of Congress and their constituents, many of whom find themselves living in a floodplain under the new maps and dispute the findings. It also increases the authority of the program to deny coverage for repetitive loss properties whose owners refuse mitigation assistance. Importantly, the legislation would also extend the NFIP for five years beyond its current Sept. 30 expiration date, bringing an end to the fits-and-starts we have seen in the past few years as Congress repeatedly allowed the NFIP to lapse.
In the week before the vote, leaders of the House Financial Services Committee sought NAMIC's help to defeat Miller's amendment. Given the NFIP's debt and the unpopularity of federal programs, there was concern that Miller could win support among more conservative House members to kill this vital program under the mistaken belief that a private market would develop in its absence. NAMIC's federal affairs staff coordinated a campaign to educate members of Congress and their staffs, gathering over 20 insurance and business associations to jointly oppose the Miller amendment, and sent an additional letter expressing our views.
The results speak for themselves. Miller's amendment met with a crushing defeat with 384 members voting against it to only 38 in support.
As the House completes its work on flood insurance reform, the focus turns to the Senate which has yet to take up the issue. The Senate Banking Committee has held two hearings on the NFIP this year, but at this time no legislation has been introduced to fix or extend the program. If the Senate fails to act, or the two chambers can't agree, the NFIP will expire after Sept. 30, 2011. NAMIC will continue to be on the front lines of the debate, fighting for sensible reforms and long-term reauthorization.
Direct questions to NAMIC Assistant Vice President of Federal Affairs Matt Gannon.

There's no place like home.
It's kind of weird being a renter who also works in the apartment industry. I often feel like Dorothy asking the Wizard to grant me my wishes--if Dorothy also worked behind the curtain as a personal assistant.
By day, I write about ancillary revenue opportunities. By night, I ask for cheaper rent. It's all a bit confusing.
But so, too, is the concept of resident-friendly ancillary revenue. And according to Steve Lefkovits, Joshua Tree Conference Group Principal, learning to leverage ancillary revenue without incurring resident ire is key to any successful revenue management program.
"Incredible rent increases won't last forever," Lefkovits says. "For asset managers, the inflexion point when market rents plateau often is accompanied by a pivot into ancillary revenue opportunities. In fact, smart multifamily operators are already reexamining fee structures, charge-backs and creative ways to pass a portion of community management costs respectfully through to the renter."
At Maximize: 2014 Multifamily Asset Management Conference (Maximize), Convened by NAA in partnership with Joshua Tree Conference Group, October 1315 at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort, the Incremental and Ancillary Revenue Strategies presentation, led by Bell Partners Vice President Mark Vernon, will explore the promise of these opportunities.
Lefkovits, conference Co-Executive Producer, says it's part of a full spectrum look at cost centers and savings opportunities that also includes panel presentations on utility management, new green building strategies and net-zero energy consumption.
For most apartment asset managers, ancillary revenue programs offer an almost immediate net operating income boost but come with the risk of resident push-back. As a resident, I can vouch for this. I'm already paying a large sum of money on monthly rent; my parking space should be included in this. One day I will work up the courage to express such thoughts to my management company.
If I only had a backbone.
Fortunately, maximize will look at how progressive operators deftly manage the balance.
"We never want to be seen as feeing our customers to death," says Harbor Group Management Company Director of Revenue Management and Maximize advisory board member, Kevin Huss. "But leveraging up ancillary revenue is becoming more consistent among our peers. Should we raise our application fees or charge pest control back to the resident? The exercise is always an attempt to dissect all of the services that we do and make sure they provide value both to us as owners and to our residents."
Because at the end of the day, there should be no place like home. For more, check out "Resident-Friendly Ancillary Revenue" on pg. 66.

Burnham hails Premier League quota plan
The Premier League's plan to introduce minimum quotas of home-grown players next year has been hailed as a "major breakthrough" by the government.
Andy Burnham, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, also praised the league for showing "real leadership" after chief executive Richard Scudamore unveiled their proposals at the Premier League headquarters yesterday.
The moves are an effort to safeguard the future of the England team, the subject of which had been among a series of questions tabled by Burnham last October.
A home-grown player is one that has spent three successive seasons at his club between the ages of 15 and 21.
Scudamore revealed that the 20 Premier League clubs had agreed "in principle" to introduce a quota scheme of home-grown players but the proposal, if adopted, would take effect from the start of the 2010/11 season.
"The Premier League announcement on proposals for introducing a home-grown player quota is a major breakthrough for the English game," said Burnham.
"It shows the league is showing real leadership on some of the issues raised by FIFA and UEFA.
"I believe a quota would help the English national team and help cement a sense of local identity between supporters and their club.
"In the long run it could help bring a measure of competitive balance to the game at the top tier.
"The Premier League should be congratulated for taking this step and I believe such a move would help secure the health of the English game for years to come."
The adoption of a quota system is expected to be rubber-stamped at a meeting of the club chairmen next month.
"Reflecting the need to encourage the development of local talent and to be confident that the future supply of England-qualified players is at least as good as now, our clubs have indicated in principle their support for a home-grown player quota to be applied to Premier League matches," revealed Scudamore.
"Measures under active consideration include: restrictions on foreign loans to bring them into line with regulations for domestic loans; the development of youth development financial incentives; constraints on the moves of under-18s; reforming the domestic compensation system and improvements to youth development and coaching."
The league also plans to introduce financial incentives for clubs in order to ensure the flow of youngsters from their academies into the first team.
"If there is a way of incentivising clubs to bring players in at 17, 18, 19 and keep them on as first-team players, we want to do that," added Scudamore.
"If you have a toss-up over a home-grown player, we want the clubs to have an incentive to keep the home-grown player, where at the moment you can have the argument that it's cheaper to bring in a player from outside."
The league has yet to decide which quota model they will adopt. The Football League already uses a quota system based on having four home-grown players in their matchday squad of 16.
But Scudamore made it clear the league has no intention of accepting FIFA president Sepp Blatter's controversial 'six-plus-five' proposal, under which every club's starting line-up would consist of at least six players from that country.
The other alternative would be for something akin to the system used by clubs in the Champions League.
They are required to name a squad of 25 players, including four home-grown players that have emerged from their own youth set-up, even if imported from overseas, and another four who have been trained within a similar framework at other clubs.

Durable Goods Better Than Expected, Futures Erase Losses
Apparently good news is good news again. Stock futures have erased nearly all of their losses on a better-than-expected durable goods report.
Durables rose 4% in July, much better than the 2.4% economists expected and a decline of 1.3% in June.
Non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft, a proxy for business spending, fell 1.5%. And this series is wildly volatile. Most of the headline gain was due to a big jump in non-defense aircraft, which has an unusually strong influence on these numbers.
But never mind! Dow futures are now down only 8 points; earlier they were down as much as 100 points.
The Treasury market is worse off, too, with the 10-year Treasury note yielding 2.17% now, up from 2.14% before the data.

Purdue got its one-sided win over I-AA Indiana State Saturday in Ross-Ade Stadium, but it was far from flawless.
"Like I told the team in the locker room (afterwards), 'We're not going to cancel any practices,'" Coach Joe Tiller said.
And the 60-35 win came with a steep price. Safety Torri Williams sustained a severe knee injury in the third quarter and is likely lost for the season, leaving the Boilermakers without arguably their most irreplaceable defensive player.
Williams' injury was the hot topic following the game, justifiably so, distracting from a game that would qualify as a "ho-hum" sort of performance from a Purdue team looking to rebound from a disappointing 2005 season.
The Boilermakers started hot.
Kory Sheets returned the opening kickoff 56 yards, then scored a five-yard touchdown, his first of three scores.
Then, cornerback Aaron Lane stuffed an ISU swing pass in the end zone for a safety.
QB Curtis Painter engineered a 69-yard scoring drive, then walked untouched three yards in the end zone, with only nine Sycamores on the field.
The scoring flurry, all of which took place in the first eight minutes of the game, left Purdue sitting pretty with a 16-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
But ISU answered with an impressive 78-yard scoring drive on which it averaged nearly eight yards per play, knifing through the Boilermaker defense with swings and a variety of other quick passes.
"Their first drive, we weren't thinking," linebacker Dan Bick said. "We were too excited and wanted to kill somebody. We weren't focusing on our assignments and what we were supposed to be doing."
Purdue responded with a six-play, 68-yard TD drive, scoring on its fourth drive in a row, this one concluding with a 41-yard Painter strike to Dorien Bryant.
But the second quarter was a nightmare for Purdue.
The offense punted on its next possession before having to settle for a field goal after Stanford Keglar's interception gave it ideal field position.
Purdue would be forced into punts on its next two possessions, with nightmarish results.
First, Donye McCleskey blocked Jared Armstrong's punt and fell on it in the end zone. Purdue's personal protector on the punt team missed his block.
Then, Armstrong simply dropped a slightly errant, but catchable, snap and was dropped at the Boilermakers' 14-yard line.
"What do they do after they get (a punt) blocked?" Tiller said, explaining Armstrong's blunder. "They look at the rush, don't they? It was a learning moment."
Two plays later, Tony West scored from five yards out to make it a 26-21 game with just 18 seconds to go in the first half.
Purdue came out of the second quarter with just three points, as its offense inexplicably fell into a malaise.
"We got too relaxed and started beating ourselves," Painter said. "It was just some little things we should have been in control of."
Control was regained in the second half, as the Boilermakers scored five touchdowns in five drives.
Painter scored on a three-yard run at 8:41. Sheets scored from a yard out at 3:07. Sheets ran it in from seven at 13:12 of the fourth quarter. Painter hit Bryant for 53-yard TD and a one-play drive with 10:51 to play. And finally, backup QB Joey Elliott hit Desmond Tardy for a 24-yard TD in the closing minutes.
The defense also stiffened in the second. Its lone ghastly blunder was allowing West to break free for a 42-yard TD run. But that play came a few plays after Williams had suffered a devastating knee injury on the Purdue sideline, jumping for an unplayable ball.
The defense was clearly shocked and distracted.
The ISU TD also came a few plays after the Sycamores were bailed out of third-and-long when a ball that clearly bounced in front of a receiver was ruled complete.
The Boilermaker defense had some second-half highlights. Bick forced a key fourth-down fumble, stuffing QB Reilly Murphy and forcing the ball loose. Safety Justin Scott later intercepted Murphy.
Indiana State rounded out the scoring with a 23-yard touchdown pass against Purdue backup defenders, with just two seconds to play.
Painter finished the game 16-of-30 for 261 yards and two touchdowns, running for two other scores.
Bryant caught six of those passes for 154 yards and two TDs. Tight end Dustin Keller had four catches for 55 yards.
The Boilermakers played without senior receiver Kyle Ingraham, who's now sidelined by some academic uncertainty stemming from his time spent this past spring at St. Mary's University in San Antonio. When asked if he was optimistic Ingraham would return this season, Tiller said, "I don't know."
Sheets ran for 128 yards on 17 carries and scored thrice, while catching three passes.
Anthony Spencer led the Purdue defense, with a team-high-tying seven stops, with three for loss, a sack and a breakup. Bick and Cliff Avril also had seven tackles.
The defense yielded 387 yards —235 passing — to a team that went winless in Division I-AA last season.
"It was definitely not a perfect day for us (defensively)," Spencer said. "… I think it was great game-planning on their part, but at the half, we made the adjustments we needed to make to get the win."
Williams will undergo surgery as soon as possible, Tiller said. It is believed that he sustained damage to multiple ligaments in his knee. He sat out last season after breaking his leg and undergoing surgery on his foot.

Get ready for a battle of epic proportions! November 9-11, Navy Pier hosts Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix Chicago.
Have you ever indulged in Magic? This trading card game has been around since 1993 and has the same world-wide cult appeal as games like Nintendo's Pokémon (remember this craze in the 90s?), World of Warcraft, and even Mystic Warlords of Ka'a from the hilarious sitcom, The Big Bang Theory.
The game seems simple: players take on the persona of a mighty wizard and then battle each other using spells, creatures, and other items depicted on their Magic cards in an effort to weaken their opponent and win the battle. But, like any good game, this one requires strategy in addition to a well-stacked deck.
Grand Prix Chicago is one of many professional Magic: The Gathering tournaments. For those involved this is more than just a casual trading card game, especially when up to $5000 worth of game-specific prizes and an invitation to one of the Pro Tours are at stake. The passion, drama, and camaraderie that exist at MTG events can sweep anyone into the excitement even if they've never played the game before.
Not quite on the professional level? MTG players love to share their knowledge so come by to rub elbows with the very best, learn tips and tricks of the trade, and purchase, sell, or trade cards with vendors and fellow MTG players.
Good luck to all of the competitors at the Grand Prix Chicago event and may victory be yours!

Fund the Wilshire Bus-Only Lanes Now!
by Anonymous on Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Bus Riders Union and Environmental Allies Urge Mayor Villaraigosa to Move Buses Not Cars
Contact Information:
Francisca Porchas and Manuel Criollo 213-387-2800
Los Angeles-Wednesday, February 27, the Bus Riders Union and Environmental Allies will urge Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to up-front $10 million in the upcoming City Budget to implement the first phase of the bus-only lanes on Wilshire Boulevard. In the discussion of the Pico/Olympic Project, which adds extra lanes to city streets to privilege the movement of auto, Mayor Villaraigosa has asserted he controls L.A. streets and L.A. Department of Transportation (LADOT). The BRU will urge the same level of aggressive and urgent leadership from the Mayor to prioritize mass transit and pollution free communities instead of the automobile.
This month, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced it's formal approval of an L.A. City and MTA proposal for $23.3 million over 2 years beginning in 2009. While the approval of this grant is historic in a county dominated by 7 million automobiles, we believe that MTA and L.A. City's timeline of 2011 is too far into the future. Rather than wait for the federal grant to be issued, the city can begin construction sooner by up- fronting the funds from its budget this year.
Green Policy is Up-fronting Funding for the Wilshire Bus-Only Lanes.
Over the past three years the BRU has faced a dilemma, while the Mayor has verbally supported bus-only lanes, he has yet to prioritize funding the project. The response from the Mayor's office has been that the Mayor does "not control LADOT" and that he cannot tell Councilmembers what to do in their districts. On the other hand just a couple weeks ago, the Mayor announced that he is overriding the City Transportation Committee and has ordered LADOT to fund and begin the implementation of the Olympic/Pico Project.
We need to get cars off the road, not figure out how to further privilege them.
Since the 1950's, elected officials of Southern California swore that freeways would solve the awful traffic problems and 60 years later we have the worst air pollution and public health crisis in the nation-more lanes to accommodate cars, means more cars. The Mayor is moving to eliminate corridor parking on both sides of the streets to add an extra lane for cars, throughout a 7-mile stretch of Olympic and Pico Boulevards between Centinela and La Brea Avenues. The Mayor has mentioned wanting to create a network of these type of Olympic/Pico thoroughfares-this could lead to "mini-highways"---a big threat to increase auto, asthma, and global warming. This policy could lead to reinforce the supremacy of the automobile, instead of limiting the space that it takes to get people out of their cars. What we need is policies that create pollution free communities centered on pedestrians, bicycles, bus-only lanes, and auto free zones, along with implementing other car use restrictions.

Sometimes it can be difficult to come up with gift ideas for woman in your life, whether it's your Grandma, Mom, or Girlfriend. I think sometimes it's even harder for guys. (It is for me when trying to find something for the men in my life.) So we've done a brainstorm of ideas you could get your grandma, mom, girlfriend and wife.
We've sorted the list for you based on how much trouble you could be in if you don't give a thoughtful gift. Chances are your Nana will be more forgiving than your girlfriend or wife.
I worked retail enough years in college to know that many guys are overwhelmed this time of year and end up wandering the mall on Christmas eve, desperately trying to find something, anything.
Guys, remember gifts with cords attached to them are not always the best idea unless you know it's something she wants. Tread lightly…There are some ideas on this list that could be hit or miss depending on how each woman feels about her "role" in the family. If you don't know what I'm talking about, force yourself to sit through the movie, Father Of the Bride, to see what happens when the fiance gives the bride-to-be a blender. He thought she might like to blend something, she took it as "a woman's place is in the kitchen."
Whatever the occasion, if you're looking for some fresh ideas, we've got a few to keep you going throughout birthdays and holidays to come.
Gift Ideas for Girlfriend or Wife
As a girlfriend, I can verify that these are all excellent ideas. And not just because I made the list.
Gift Ideas for Mom
Moms are always giving love throughout the year; show her a little love with a gift that will make her life easier, or help her to sit back and relax.
Gift Ideas for Grandma
It can seem like Grandma's seen (or has) it all! Listed below are some classic ideas, plus a few with a twist. Most of these can be easily personalized or tailored to what your Gran likes best, and have an added element of personal touch that reflects your own family and relationship with your nana.

Pesticide Issues & News
New Label Amendment for the herbicide "Rely 280"
Department of Pesticide Regulation's Registration Branch recently reviewed and approved a revised label for the Bayer Crop Science product, Rely 280, EPA Reg. No. 264-829-ZA. Based on new acute toxicity data, the label's Human Health Hazard and Precautionary Statements have been modified and now the Title 3 California Code of Regulations section 6746 requirements for closed system mixing no longer apply to this product.
The registrant, Bayer Crops Sciences, has agreed to have the new label reflecting these changes on product containers sold for use in California no later than September 30, 2016. In the interim, if users are not mixing and loading with closed system equipment, they must have a hard or electronic copy of the enclosed DPR stamped approved label at the use site.

Budapest (May. 10)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The German Government will protest to the Government of Hungary against the insulting references to Walter Rathenau, late German Jewish statesman, made by the state attorney at the trial of Baron Ludwig Hatvany before the Royal Court.
Reports to this effect were current today in parliamentary circles here, following a heated debate which took place in parliament as an aftermath of the verdict sentencing Baron Hatvany to four years imprisonment. Democratic and Socialist deputies protested against the state attorney's insulting references to Rathenau who, he declared, "drove Germany to misfortune." The deputies charged the Ministry of Justice with a deliberate tendency of advancing only such judges who are noted for their reactionary and anti-Semitic views.

Ask a Dentist. Get Answers to Your Dental Questions.
Hi, I am here to help you,
The symptoms you are experiencing are compatible with "dry mouth"...
There are many causes for dry mouth, local problems, like a problem with the salivary glands,
medications can also cause it , although I have not find any references of dry mouth caused by iron supplements
Dehydration can also cause it...
Other underlying systemic problems can cause xerostomia.
My advice is to first go to your dentist to confirm your problem and see if there is any local condition that can give you these symptoms...
But I believe it is even more important to have a physician check up to rule out any medical problems
I hope this helps!
Dr Mariana Levy
I guess a check up with my PCP wouldn't hurt, but I always seem to leave more confused then when I entered the visit. Most of my questions are often answered with vague responses and they typically do not seem to deal with the cause.
I understand… but it is the first step to get to the bottom of it..
sometimes things like stress can give you dry mouth symptoms..
also smoking
and , of course, as you presupposed, dehydration...
but sometimes there can be other conditions that can give the same symptoms
These need to be ruled out
I hope you found my answer helpful, please click on the GREEN ACCEPT button below for my answer. This is necessary for me to be paid for my work and so that I can get credit for assisting you. Your question will not close, and you will still have the opportunity to follow-up if needed. Leaving a positive feedback is not required, but doing so is certainly appreciated!

A couple of quick jersey number notes. The Yankees have not given anybody Jorge Posada's No. 20 jersey this year, but have given out Mike Mussina's No. 35 to Michael Pineda. Hiroki Kuroda takes No. 18, Bill Hall has No. 40, Russell Branyan has No. 45, and Manny Delcarmen will get No. 43, via Marc Carig of the Star-Ledger.
One thought on "Yankees don't give out Posada's No. 20"
Interesting point about Mussina's number being given out. He was a great Yankee, but sadly never got a ring, arriving in 2001 a year too late and leaving in 2008 a year too early. I guess the Yankees brass are projecting that Moose will be remembered more as an Oriole, where he spent 10 years, than as a Yankee, where he spent 8 years.
He retired at the top of his game with 270 wins. He will have a shot at the HOF, despite winning 20 games only once, and despite never winning a Cy Young.

[330e] It is hard to see how anything could be holy, if holiness itself is not to be holy! And you—would you not make the same reply?Certainly I would, he said.Now suppose he went on to ask us: Well, and what of your statement a little while since? Perhaps I did not hear you aright, but I understood you two to say that the parts of virtue are in such a relation to each other that one of them is not like another. Here my answer would be: As to the substance of it, you heard aright, but you made a mistake in thinking that I had any share in that statement.

Yelp Introduces Free Restaurant Reservations
Yelp is getting deeper into transactions. One manifestation of this is restaurant reservations. In July of 2013, Yelp bought reservations provider SeatMe. Today, it's announcing free restaurant reservations:
Business owners can set up the free Yelp Reservations capability through their Yelp Business Owners Account and start filling tables with the millions of people that come to Yelp looking for a great business to try. Consumers can book straight from the Yelp business listing on mobile or desktop and get a text message reminder, as well as the option to cancel or change a reservation by text. A free widget is also available for businesses to add to their own websites to encourage visitors to book a reservation for their restaurant and attract valuable new business.
It's not clear what features business owners will get through the new system. SeatMe isn't free, so it presumably offers more functionality than the free version. Yelp appears to be positioning this for smaller or new restaurants.
There are two objectives in all likelihood: get restaurants into the system and later upsell SeatMe and/or provide additional incentives to sign up for a business owner account, which may later lead to an advertising relationship.
Some people are contending this is Yelp directly taking on OpenTable. I don't agree.
Yelp continues to offer OpenTable on its site. This is really not about entering or disrupting OpenTable's business so much as it is Yelp creating more value for business owners and establishing deeper ties with them.
As I've argued elsewhere, transactions are a key to Yelp's future. They help more directly align Yelp and business owner interests — and potentially solve some of the site's current problems and challenges associated with review legitimacy.
We're listening.

PyCon 2013 is shaping up to be the largest PyCon ever; not only in terms of attendees but also in terms of opportunities to hear new ideas and meet new people. The conference will have six talk tracks (up from five in 2012), a PyData conference during the sprints, and a large number of the ever popular open spaces. As we move closer to the conference, travel plans get finalized and excitement builds. You may find yourself wishing that you'd presented a talk or got involved in some other way. Luckily the opportunity is still out there: The 4th annual PyCon poster session!
Why present a poster?
The poster session offers a unique experience both for presenters and attendees. As a presenter, you get to interact directly with your audience, share your passion and your idea, and immediately address questions in a more conversational manner. On top of that, the environment is generally less stressful and more easygoing than giving a formal talk.
The layout of the event is very open with rows of 4'x4' poster boards, with plenty of room to gather at each board as attendees move from poster to poster, stopping along the way to join the conversation at the posters that interest them. The poster session also offers presenters the opportunity to record a short presentation of their poster that is released along with the PyCon talk videos.
What We Look For In a Poster
Posters should follow all of the usual guidelines that we look for in talk and tutorial proposals. The true beauty of a poster session is the accessibility; just about any Python related topic is fair game. That said, the more accessible and relevant your topic is to a larger crowd, the more interest your poster will draw. You never know who might show up to your poster.
Users of all levels go to the poster session, so you might teach something to a beginner or learn something yourself from an expert. Want to really please the folks that stop by your poster? Print out letter-sized versions of your poster to handout (just make sure the print is all legible). You'll be amazed at the number of people you see walking around taking photos of posters that interest them.
Deadlines and Details
The poster submission deadline is January 16th, 2013, but poster proposals are reviewed and accepted as they come in. Submit your proposal early, and give yourself plenty of time to prepare as well as receive and respond to reviewer feedback. Check out the poster session details and check out the poster lineup from PyCon 2012 to see what we've had in the past!
How to Submit
Start by heading to the PyCon 2013 dashboard and create an account (accounts from 2012 and prior are not retained). From there, fill out your speaker profile with some details about who you are, what you do, etc. After that's up to date, the poster proposal is next. Pick a title, category, and intended audience, then dive into your details. The brief outline text will go in the conference program, so do keep it brief but descriptive enough to attract an audience.
The bulk of your proposal lies in the detailed abstract, which is where you really sell the reviewers. The format you choose is up to you -- whatever shows your topic the best. Some choose an outline format, some choose paragraphs. Use the additional notes area to share anything else related to your proposal, such as your qualifications on the topic or a list of previous presentations.

While this isn't the first time a pair of sneaker customs made its way onto an NBA court, Dwyane Wade's decision to wear his Li-Ning Way of Wade "Gradient Peel" Customs by Mache sorta opened the door for other NBA players to follow suit and get their orders in from the custom game's best handymen. Aside from Wade's selection, there was quite a collection of on-feet stories, like Derrick Williams in the Flint Grey XII, Deron Williams in the Nike Hyperdisrupter 'Fighter Jet' Camo, PJ Tucker's All-Star Kobe 8s, and much more. As usual, we've got a high-def gallery of NBA Feet for you below, so take a moment and spot your favorite kicks.

Ovechkin, Russians flatten Czech Republic
- |
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Alex Ovechkin flattened Jaromir Jagr with a visor-breaking, center-ice hit that powered Russia right into the Olympic hockey quarterfinals.
The open-ice smackdown by the NHL MVP was the spotlight moment of Russia's 4-2 victory over the Czech Republic yesterday. Ovechkin also had two assists and Evgeni Malkin scored two goals as Russia bounced back from a disappointing shootout loss to Slovakia.
Ovechkin, playing on a new line with Capitals teammate Alexander Semin and Malkin, rocked Canada Hockey Place when he throttled Jagr.
Jagr, who a day earlier called Ovechkin the best player in the world, had circled with the puck before the Russian caught him high with his arm.
"This is the Olympics and he'll get better for the next game,'' Ovechkin said through an interpreter. "I was not the only one going for it. Every one of our players fought very strongly today to win.''
The crunching hit came just before Semin found Malkin in the right circle for a goal that made it 3-1 at 1:49 of the third period.
"I made one turnover there and it cost us the game. I feel horrible,'' Jagr said. "I didn't see if it was an elbow or not. It doesn't really matter. It wasn't called. They got the puck, they scored.
"That heals, but the mistake doesn't heal. I wish I had a concussion and just forget what happened, but I remember it.''
In this rematch of the 1998 Olympic gold-medal game - won, 1-0, by the Czechs - Russia scored in every period to claim first place in Group B with 7 points.
Malkin gave Russia (2-0-1-0) a 1-0 lead in the first and made it a two-goal edge thanks to Ovechkin's muscle.
"I think it's a great moment of the Olympics Games,'' Malkin said.
Viktor Kozlov also scored for Russia, and Pavel Datsyuk added an empty-netter off assists from Ovechkin and Malkin with 12.3 seconds remaining.
Tomas Plekanec and Milan Michalek had goals for the Czechs (2-0-0-1). Michalek converted Marek Zidlicky's pass in front to cut the deficit to 3-2 with 5:09 left.
"We played a good game,'' said Florida's Tomas Vokoun, who made 27 saves. "We ended up losing. It's a tournament and you have to shake it off pretty quickly if you want to go anywhere.''
San Jose's Evgeni Nabokov stopped 23 shots in the win, but the talk was all about Ovechkin, who declined to speak in English following the game.
"The momentum was great,'' defenseman Sergei Gonchar said. "Alex had a good read on the play and he read it well. He did a nice clean hit. It always gives you that momentum, and we scored pretty much right away.''
The Czechs, who got the better of Russia four years ago in Turin, when they won bronze, will have to wait until today to find out if they will have to play in the qualification round. The three group winners and a wild card earn byes.
"We are going to the crunch time,'' Vokoun said. "We didn't want to play the extra game. But we just have to refocus. We still have as good a chance as anybody.''
Kozlov, a longtime NHL forward now playing in Russia, took a bouncing pass from Alexander Radulov in the slot and slapped a shot behind his back that caught Vokoun as he was shifting left and slid under the goalie's glove with 5:26 left in the second to make it 2-1.
The game was nearly tied again just more than a minute later when a close shot by Jagr bounced around the crease and was briefly covered by Nabokov. The whistle blew before the puck entered the net.
"The way we look at it, the referee disallowed the goal and that's where it ends through us,'' said Czech coach Vladimir Ruzicka, the former Bruin, through an interpreter.
Russia sustained a double hit when Radulov boarded Bruin David Krejci but drove the Czech forward into teammate Sergei Zinovyev, whose left leg was bent under him.
The teams traded power-play goals during a first period in which Russia held a 12-5 shots advantage.
Russia had more energy early, knowing it needed to win in regulation to win Group B.
