School violence studied
On a typical day last year, Pennsylvania schools caught 11 students toting weapons similar to ones used to slash 21 students and a security guard at a Pittsburgh-area high school, according to the state Department of Education. An untold number of others likely brought weapons to school but weren't caught, safety experts say.

Ok so I have Dreamboard installed in my iOS 4.XXX? under the Endroid theme (which I have to add is quite stunning and smooth) and i have recently been caught in a Freeze Reboot Loop.
I hear the easiest way for this fix would be Download iExplorer/i-FunBox and simply navigate my way to the source file and EXTERMINATE IT! Or use SB settings to put it into Safe mode but heres where the hiccup comes into play, I have USB Drive on my iPhone and anyone with that knows that they can basically disguise their phone as a USB drive and i dont have SB settings so i cant be ninja like and click it.
My phone is under the DRIVE ONLY tab... so iExplorer/i-FunBox and My Computer does not read the iphone.
What I am asking for is a possible way where I can either
A. Get my phone into SAFE MODE
B. Navigate the depths of my iPhone in DFU mode
C. Beat this atrocity

No cancer has been found that is not affected by turmeric ♥Visit my iherb page for special reduction and most recommended products
8 people found the following review helpful
Posted by 4929503942000453154 From California on Jun 08, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
I was told that inflammation is the cause of all diseases. With turmeric it helps the body rid inflammation and heal. It is a powerful antioxidant that is also anti-viral and anti-bacterial and it seems to have great potential to fight cancer, especially colorectal cancer. 1. It can inhibit unwanted bacterial action in the stomach and intestine. 2. It is a significant anti-inflammatory. 3. It boosts crucial cellular glutathione levels. 4. It is a powerful antioxidant. 5. It can help prevent liver damage. 6. It can prevent and treat cancer. I caught pneumonia around Christmas which cleared up after a round of antibiotics within a couple of weeks. But for several months, I suffered from severe sinus issues which resulted in the production of copious amounts of phlegm which in turn led to vomiting anytime I ate something, no matter how insignificant - even a donut! There was no allopathic solution and I tried numerous natural anti-inflammatories that I had in my house. Nothing. Finally I tried this. I took one easy to swallow capsule in the morning and one before going to bed. Before I even knew what was happening, no more phlegm, no more coughing, no more hawking up, no more spitting into a bag, no more vomiting! We're talking like 2-3 days at most. It happened so fast, I didn't even know what hit me. This, after several months of suffering! My wife then demanded a bottle because of its wide ranging health benefits. I intend to spread the word. I'll never be without at least one bottle of it! ♥Here are some hints to get special reduction and free products, in particular, YOUR ENTIRE FREE ORDERS from iherb.

Excellent PSORIASIS
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Kyriaki on Feb 09, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
I initially researched curcumin for my partner who has psoriasis. The jury is still out on him though the fact that he is perservering with them is a very positive sign (he has never before taken a supplement for longer than a week and now he's up to week 4). Being curious however, i decided to give them a go myself. The unexplained pain in my wrist is GONE. They also make your breath super clean as well as making perspiration odourless which seems to change and become heavier with the use of other supplements. I'm delighted with this product and will review again when my partner confirms its benefits on scaly psoriasis. UPDATE 9 FEB 2013: PSORIASIS SUFFERERS - I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU AS IT HAS MY PARTNER - CONDITION SO BAD THAT IMMUNOSUPPRESsANTS WERE PRESCRIBED. HE DIDN'T TAKE THEM -COUNER-INTUATIVE. USED THIS INSTEAD FOR ABOUT 2 AND HALF MONTHS SO FAR AND IT WORKS. WE INTRODUCED OMEGA FISH OILS - THEY STARTED REVERSING THE GOOD THAT HAD COME FROM JUST USING TUMERIC ALONE (6 CAPS DAILY -2 WITH EACH MEAL). STOPPED IT IMMEDIATELY - FLAKES WENT AWAY. DID THE SAME WITH BERBERINE - AGAIN IT STARTED UNDOING THE TUMERIC. GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HEALTH.
amazing quality and great extract

I hope this will be in stock forever :). Turmeric should be taken by everyone since it is one of the most important herbs for your body. I love that this is a supercritical extract that offers so much more than turmeric powder (which is not easily absorbed by the body). In addition I think the price is great for the quality and effectiveness of the product. Will keep on buying it forever!

Stone Mountain Park, Georgia's most visited attraction, is a destination that you cannot miss. Located just east of Atlanta on over 3,200 acres of natural beauty, visitors can experience outdoor activities on and around the lake, including: paddle boats, Ride the Ducks, several nature trails and even a train ride around the mountain. For those more adventurous types, one side of the mountain can be hiked all the way to top, or you can ride the Skylift to the top of the mountain and explore the beauty of the area.
Additionally the Stone Mountain Golf Course is sure to please the golfers in the family. Other activities include: Antebellum Plantation & Farmyard, where you can tour several Antebellum homes that have been restored and are fun to tour, The Great Barn, Adventure Golf and much more! During the summer months, there is a beach for swimming, and a nightly laser show, located on the large lawn facing the famous carving on the side of the mountain.
The Lasershow Spectacular has been digitally remastered with new laster lights, musical medleys, graphics, sound and a fireworks display at the end. Plan to bring a picnic lunch, or eat at one of the many eateries around the park.
Camping is a great option for overnight trips to the Park, or you can stay at the Evergreen Marriott Conference Resort, or the Marriott Stone Mountain Inn, all located within the Park grounds.

Serzh Sargsyan: Karabakh was never a part of independent Azerbaijan
"The truth is that Karabakh was never a part of independent Azerbaijan. It was forced into Azerbaijan by a decision of the Soviet Union party authority, which, defiant of the League of Nations decision and the popular referendum as a means of determining the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, decided in its Caucasus Bureau session in 1921, under Stalin's direct pressure, and in violation of the procedure, to annex Mountainous Karabakh on the condition of forming a national autonomy on these Armenian territories within the Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan. Throughout the Soviet period, the people of Karabakh never reconciled to this decision. I will not dwell upon details of Azerbaijan's state-level policy of cleansing Karabakh from Armenians and the periodic uprising of the Karabakhis during the Soviet period, as I believe you all are well-aware of them. However, I would like to reiterate that the Autonomous Province of Mountainous Karabakh seceded from the Soviet Union fully in line with the Soviet laws and all the applicable principles and rules of international law, exactly as the 15 Soviet Republics did," President Serzh Sargsyan said.
The problem has many sensitive and delicate aspects. I urge everyone to exercise utmost caution when making public statements on the problem of Mountainous Karabakh, to take into account all the dimensions, possible consequences, and the perceptions of the sides, and always to rely on the positions of the organizations that are familiar with the details of the problem and specialize in its peaceful resolution: in this case, it would be the OSCE. The problem can only be resolved in the context of the international law principles of the self-determination of nations, territorial integrity, and the non-use of force. All the stakeholders now realize this truth. Whenever one refers to the Mountainous Karabakh conflict, the notion of territorial integrity should not be emphatically underlined, especially that even if that notion is perceived to be the only one applying in the case of the Mountainous Karabakh conflict, it would not lead to its application in the form envisioned by Azerbaijan, President highlighted.

The Chicago Board of Education made its final decision Wednesday afternoon - to close 48 Chicago Public Schools and one high school program in June, with one school delayed a year and to save five others.
The ambitious proposal that sparked protests and lawsuits could help define -- for better or worse -- Mayor Rahm Emanuel's term in office. The board voted Wednesday.
City officials say the closings are necessary because of falling school enrollment and as part of their efforts to improve the city's struggling education system. But critics have blasted Emanuel and schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett, saying the closings disproportionately affect minority neighborhoods and will endanger children who may have to cross gang boundaries to get to a new school.
CTU President Karen Lewis put out a statement Wednesday after the board vote calling the decision "bad governance" and a "day of mourning for the children of Chicago." And she says their education "has been hijacked." Earlier protesters rallied during the board's meeting. They also sent busloads of teachers, parents and students to Springfield to lobby lawmakers to approve a moratorium on the closings.
CPS Closings: Garvey, Manierre schools expected to be spared
FOX 32 learned Tuesday night from a source that some school board members felt strongly that Garvey and Manierre should be given and individual vote when it came to closings them - or be spared altogether.
The Chicago Teachers Union has been very public regarding their disapproval of the plan to close more than 50 elementary schools in the Chicago Public School District. They say that the school have not been evaluated properly, and that the schools slated for closure do not deserve to be closed.
Union president Karen Lewis told Good Day Chicago on Wednesday morning that she believes it to be unfortunate that Mayor Emanuel supports closing schools as an education policy. She says that the teachers know it does not work.
But when asked about the four elementary schools being saved at the last minute, Karen Lewis said, "It's a victory for parents coming together - a victory for activism."
Protesting parents, teachers, staff and some students gathered outside school board headquarters at Clark and Adams downtown Wednesday morning, to make their disagreement with the CPS closings plan explicitly clear.
While parents understand that some schools do have to close, many more are afraid for their kids' safety, worried that their children will not make it to school along some new routes that may take them across gang territory lines.
Stand for Children Illinois director Juan Jose Gonzalez told FOX 32 News Wednesday that his group members are happy with how open the board has been when communicating with parents on the day of the vote. He said Stand for Children understands that changes need to be made. They understand that resources need to be re-allocated in order for Chicago students to get a better education from the district.
Gonzalez said that parents understand the money for schools in the City of Chicago to be "tapped out," and that the focus needs to be shifted to Springfield, so that CPS parents can make sure the district is helped by the state education fund.
One CPS parent and former educator - whose child is not affected by the closures - believes the process should have been more open and inclusive, to build a better informed community, before effecting change.
She understands that with a system in the condition like that of CPS, some schools will have to close and resources will have to be redistributed to give kids a better education. But she also said parents, local businesses, bigger sponsors, teachers, staff and students need to be included in the process to successfully effect change.
Ald. Joe Moreno of the 1st ward made a level-headed and moving argument against closing CPS schools, specifically those in East Humboldt Park. Improvements were supposed to be made to Lafayette Elementary School. But when they were not completed, the school did not perform as well as it anticipated it would with that investment on improvement. The school was eventually put on the CPS list of schools to close.
"It's sort of like we pushed the parents and teachers at Lafayette into the pool, and CPS blamed them for being wet," Ald. Moreno said.
The 1st ward alderman also addressed the issue of safety Wednesday morning.
"The best way to ensure safety is to keep schools open," Moreno said.
Moreno told the school board that he is proud to represent the schools in East Humboldt Park, and that the vibrant community has a plan for success - they just need to be given the chance to carry out the plan in which they have so much invested.
"All we need for you to do is vote your conscience," Moreno said. "Vote your heart."
Humboldt Park resident Rousemary Vega made a personal attack on Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett on Wednesday. Vega asked how she could subject Lafayette special ed students to school closings and re-location.
"How can you have it in your heart, as a grandmother, to attack these children?" Vega asked.
Vega said that if Byrd-Bennett did one thing right – in her opinion - she roused the community to voice their opposition as one.
"You have made our community come together and fight."
After the school board congratulated CTU President Karen Lewis on her re-election, the typically outspoken union leader made a reserved and even-keeled statement.
"I would hope that whatever decision you all make today that you can live with it. I think that's extraordinarily important," Lewis said. "I personally feel you're on the wrong side of history, and history will judge you."
Lewis wants the stigma of probation removed from the conversation when it comes to education reform in Chicago.
"I would hope that… everybody now starts from scratch," Lewis said. "I don't want to hear the next time I come in here this school's been on probation for 17 years. You all keep moving the bar. Everybody should start from scratch. If this is your master plan, let's not carry over any of the ugliness. Let's move forward."
Lewis said, sounding much like the veteran educator that she is, that she wants to hear a new plan for Chicago Public Schools – one that works, and will give these kids the best education the district can give.
"I am so willing to work with you on that. I'm not willing - ever going to be willing - to do craziness," Lewis said. "We also need so time to let whatever you've done work. Last year it was longer school days. I hope you all are studying that, that you have some kind of metrics behind that. Did it work? Did it not work? Let's stop rushing so that every 15 minutes we're doing something else. A system this large needs to have time to reflect, understand best practices, and then move on."
Lewis said that in talking about making education better, she is 100% willing to work with the school board – not when they're talking about politics.
Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett addressed the protesters on Wednesday, before the Chicago Board of Education. She spoke on why the district put the closure plan together in the first place.
"The system does have to change," Byrd-Bennett said. "We have the opportunity to redirect resources to what matters. I know that resources matter. Our children do matter and it matters that the status quo aren't acceptable for our children."
Byrd-Bennett also addressed the personal attack made on her during the public comment section of the hearing.
"Despite some outrageous claims that I really quite frankly do find repulsive," Byrd-Bennett said. "In no way do we - do I - want to see any child hurt."
After explaining how the district would carry out the plan and why the changes needed to take place, she addressed how difficult a change she knew these closures would be. She said she knew the process would be hard, but quoted Dr. Martin Luther King to help impress why CPS is doing what it is doing.
"Cowardice asks the question - is it safe? Expediency asks the question - is it politic? Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question - is it right?" Byrd-Bennett read. "And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right."
Ald. Bob Fioretti has been one of the most vocal local leaders to oppose the school closings plan. As he addressed the school board on Wednesday, he questioned the credibility of the reasons for closing more than 50 schools, saying that they are "constantly changing."
Fioretti also questioned the numerous services the district said they would provide for students to get them to and from school safely, as well as keep them from experiencing violence in their new schools. He isn't sure CPS will be able to provide them effectively, since the personnel being asked to guide these kids are also the people who are supposed to be protecting the city from crime and emergencies.
Fioretti also questioned whether any money would actually be saved in closing these CPS elementary schools, since it costs a lot of money to close in the first place. It will also cost money to send displaced students to their welcoming schools and accommodate them there.
Fioretti testified that he was astounded by the passion he has seen from the community as the fight to keep their schools open. He also wondered if Mayor Emanuel had attended a single CPS closure hearing.
"Over the past few months, I've attended over a dozen hearings concerning the school closing. I've been startled by what I see. The families that have to put up standing in long lines in the cold with babies in arms waiting for testify in the defense of their schools. I can't ever remember seeing such a public outcry in defense of neighborhood schools. It's extending to every corner of this city, and it won't stop here today. Tens of thousands of Chicagoans attended these hearings, and I am hardened by the determination and passion of parents and teachers to defend and improve their schools."
Fioretti also spoke to what he says his constituents want most: A stable, well-resourced neighborhood school.
He concluded his statement with a firm recommendation: A moratorium on closing any CPS schools for at least the next year.

There are plenty of parent opportunities at Maize Elementary. We just had open house last week and the volunteer opportunities were discussed. Anyone who says there isn't any parent involvement just doesn't want to get involved period.
The teachers are great. But the office staff could use some change. The office staff attidudes need some work. Has far as Parent involvement goes there is none.
The teachers and staff are so caring and the principal, Ms. Willimas, is amazing!
Maize is a wonderful school who works with their community. Mrs. Williams is an excellent leader who genuinely cares for learning. The staff strives for excellence and is dedicated to the success of each and every student.
I had the privilege of teaching at Maize for 18 yrs. before my retirement. We have all of the typical things that great schools need, great students, committed teachers, involved parents, supportive community. What makes Maize special is that all of these elements consistently work hand-in-hand to provide a first-rate education for an enthusiastic student body that is curious, questioning, and willing to work hard to earn the education that they so richly deserve.
Maize elemntary is a very Cool school the staff are awesome and it's located in a very nice neighborhood :)
I am a parent with a foster child at Maize Elementary. I was fearful that she would be labeled. This is her 3rd year at the school, and ther teachers have been great. They have challenged her to do her best. When she first entered the school as a student, she could not read two letter words. Three years later, she is two grades above her grade level. She is great in math. She has a wonderful teacher that truly cares about her. She's always talking about Ms. Michael and making sure she completes her assignments. The teachers challenge the students, and plus the school have great ratings when compared to the state scores. Check it out and see for yourself. No need to pay for private school. I have researched the local private school. Look into that as well. Maize actually match and beat some of the scores. Traci
My child entered Maize in 5th grade after being in a private Christiann school for 5 years. I was very scared she would fall behind but to my surprise, found the curriculum at Maize much more challenging and fast paced. Not only has my child shown drastic improvement due to the personal attention the teacher has given her, but the teacher advised me within the first 2 weeks of school to have my child tested for ADD after working with her for only that short time, saying she has definite symptoms and medical treatment would most lilkely help. She has supported us and is my daughters best source of daily encouragement. The change in my daughter is like night and day! I'd asked the private school constantly if they thought my daughter had ADD and they consistently said 'No', even after having their counselor observe her -only at my insistence.
Maize is a great school. I have been impressed with the school as a whole. However, the teachers have no training on how to deal with children who have ADHD. The child usually has to go to another school where they have a special education program in place.The teachers rely on the parent to educate them about ADHD.
My son enjoys going to school and feels valued by staff and students. The academic programs are great with tutoring and gifted programs. The school offers extacurricular activities- choir, music, math clubs, chess clubs and etc. My son enjoys working with scientist from OSU that visit the classroom. His baketball coach, Mr. Jackson is a great role model that goes out of his way to inspire students to make positive choices! My daughter will start Kindergarten next year and we are excited for her to attend Maize.
This is such a great school for a child in Columbus to attend.
When my son started at Maize Road for kindergarten 4 yrs ago, I must admit I was a little uneasy about enrolling him in a columbus public school. But I made the right choice. Maize is a wonderful school. The principal is wonderful and so are all the teachers. I have recommended Maize Road to other parents in the past 4 yrs. We only have 2 more years left at Maize Road. I know the next 2 years will be just as great as the first 4 was!
My son goes to Maize, last year was his first year, he was in kindergarten, he had the sweetest, and most caring teacher in the world, Ms. Temple, not only was she a teacher, but she was also a mentor, I am glad I choose Maize for my son, because he gets a good education, and is treated like an individual.

NanoHttpd is a lightweight HTTP server designed for embedding in other applications. It's only one Java file, in two "flavors", one strictly Java 1.1 compatible, and one at "current" standards. It supports GET, POST, PUT, HEAD and DELETE requests, and supports file uploading with very small memory overhead. Temp file usage and the threading model are easily customized.
ashttpd was originally a testbed for a kernel async-sendfile patch. Today, it's just another Web server for serving static content rapidly. It differs from its competitors by storing its webroot in a database, which provides a 50% performance increase over using the operating system's VFS. It also allows precalculation of strong cache-validators (ETags).
Higgs.IO is a high performance, message oriented network library built for realtime systems. It provides a core extensible framework and libraries built on top of the core. Libraries include a WebSocket server, an HTTP server and client, and Boson, a custom serialization and RMI library.
hchatd is a simple chat server, written in (almost compliant) ANSI C, and able to compile on multiple Unix systems. Users can create multiple chatrooms, while the chatroom URL is the only thing you need to connect to it. The server contains client code (HTML and JavaScript); it uses XMLHttpRequest, so the chat is truly online.
Alaya is a primitive chrooting Web server with basic WebDAV support. It can serve HTTPS and HTTP, and can authenticate using PAM, /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, or using its own authentication files that allow for 'native' users that only have access to alaya content. It's intended to be a simple method of sharing content over WebDAV, and though it can be configured with a config file, it's easy to configure by command-line switches alone. Alaya always chroots to ensure that malicious users can't use '..' within a URL to access unintended documents, and that users can't accidentally leave documents in places outside of the chroot. It has a 'ChHome' mode that chroots users into their home directory and serves content from there. It supports .cgi scripts out of a trusted path (so not from within the chrooted WebDAV share) and read-only shared directories that are outside of the chroot (allowing access to shared content when in ChHome mode).
The yaSSL Embedded Web Server is a fast, embeddable, and easy-to-configure Web server with a strong focus on portability and security. The Web server offers SSL/TLS (HTTPS) support built-in through the CyaSSL embedded SSL Library. With a footprint size of less than 100kB with SSL enabled (or 40kB without SSL) and a simple and clean API, the yaSSL Embedded Web Server was designed to fit perfectly into resource-constrained embedded environments. While maintaining a small size and fast speeds, the yaSSL Embedded Web Server offers a full feature set to give you the maximum amount of freedom and flexibility when developing your project.
Sensor readout for Android devices.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Cornwall's spectacular Eden Project is an unforgettable attraction in a breathtaking epic location. Eden is a gateway into the fascinating world of plants and people and a vibrant reminder of the interdependence of all species. One of its giant conservatories is a majestic rain forest cathedral; the other is host to the fruits of the Mediterranean and flowers of South Africa and California. Outside, in the landscaped grounds, you will find tea, lavender, sunflowers and hemp.
The Eden Project tells a hundred plant stories: from cocoa and coffee to bananas and rubber; from plants and medicine to plants used in construction; from paper and wine to perfume and brewing. The Eden Project is a dramatic global garden, the size of 30 football fields, nestling like a lost world in a crater overlooking St. Austell Bay. It lies in a 34-acre bowl, 196 feet deep with steep south-facing walls that catch the sun even in the depths of winter; it's a natural theater that takes full advantage of Cornwall's mild climate, clean air and ample water.
After an introduction to the story of Eden at the Visitor Center on the lip of the crater, you will be on your own to explore the attraction. Following your visit, you'll return along the country roads of Cornwall to the harbor at Falmouth.
Important Notes: The drive to the Eden Project is 1¼ hours each way. Lunch is not included. You will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour.

Carbon Steel Carving Knives
High carbon steel blade. Shaped and slotted by hand-grinding and precision machining. Comfortable oil-finished bubinga wood handle. Available in 1-1/4" rounded and 1-1/4" slanted detail blades. Made in France. (
These blades are made of high carbon steel, one of the hardest metals used to make tools. Because of its exceptionally fine grain, high carbon steel can be given a much sharper edge than other alloys. The oil-finished bubinga wood handle is gently curved to fit comfortably in your hand.
Use & Care
The knives can be used for precision cutting, trimming, carving, and work in wood, paper, and other materials. Suitable for right- or left-handed use.
High carbon steel is extremely hard, and therefore brittle, so the blade must be stored carefully to keep the edge free of chips or nicks and to prevent it from going dull (loose in a drawer is not recommended). High carbon steel is not corrosion resistant, that's the price of having the sharpest edge and the best way to keep it from rusting is constant use. As an additional precaution, you may want to coat the blade with WD-40 or camellia or mineral oil. Keep dry. For the best performance and depending on frequency of use, you should sharpen and hone your blade regularly; the duller it gets, the more work will be required to bring the edge back.
Production & Design
Shaping, beveling, and slotting of the blades are done by hand-grinding and precision machining.
The company that makes these knives is located in the center of northern California's woodworking community and has been producing tools for these and other craftsmen for over 30 years.

Common causes of hair loss in dogs
Alopecia, or hair loss, is associated with an overwhelming majority of skin disorders in pets. Practically all domesticated animals face hair loss problems, but cats and dogs are among the most seriously affected. Most common conditions like feline hair loss are due to feline acne and feline dandruff. Dogs on the other hand lose hair for a variety of reasons. This makes it difficult for the specialist to distinguish normal canine hair loss from that associated with a major ailment.
The most common cause of dog skin problems like alopecia is allergic reactions. Listed below are common allergens:
- Contact with environmental irritants
- Contact with chemical detergents, paints, nickel and other chemical or textile fibers
- Exposure to inhalants, deodorants and room fresheners
- Inhaling pollen or household dust mites
- Drug-induced allergies
- Food-borne allergies
Hair loss is also a prominent symptom of certain medical conditions, like Cushing's disease, hypothyroidism, and Tail gland hyperplasia.
The underlying cause behind Cushing's disease is the increase of corticosteroids in the body. This may be due to an abnormal but natural process in the body or rampant use of synthetic steroids. It is a fatal disease and needs prompt veterinary attention.
Hypothyroidism is caused by an under-active thyroid gland. In such a condition, the dog can lose hair and develop bacterial and yeast infections.
Normal functioning of the sebaceous tail gland is crucial for supply of sebum for lubricating hair and skin. Tail gland hyperplasia is a secondary disease where the enlarged gland malfunctions.
Furthermore, canine hair loss occurs during pregnancy and other stressful conditions, such as illness or surgery. Hair loss during pregnancy and nursing is usually accompanied by a foul smelling outflow or vapor of gaseous waste.
Allergic reaction and medical conditions aside, hair loss in dogs is also a major problem that occurs in skin disorders like bacterial or fungal infections and mange.
The most common mange is caused by three types of mites - Sarcoptes, Demodex and Cheyletiella. The first two result in a substantial hair loss, while the third causes minimal alopecia except in its severe manifestation. All forms of mange also have an underlying symptom of intense itching and scratching.
Even though dog hair loss can occurs seasonally, it may be indicative of certain allergic reactions, medical conditions, and infections. Therefore, excessive hair loss should not be ignored. The symptom can actually lead to the final diagnosis of a much more complicated disease.

In December 2010, the UK Government voted to raise tuition fees for
English universities to a maximum of £9,000 per year amid budget cuts to
institutions' teaching budgets. These changes only apply to UK and EU
students wishing to study at a university in England who are new entrants to
the university system from 2012 onwards.
If you cannot see this video, you can
watch it on our Vimeo
channel within your browser.
We are charging £9,000 a year for all our undergraduate courses in 2014.
Having the same tuition fee for all our courses means all our students
experience the same level of outstanding teaching in a modern learning
environment, while gaining the skills and experience to obtain a graduate
job. We have also abolished the fee for any student undertaking a year of
study away (such as study abroad or industrial placement) as part of a
four-year course. To ensure as many students as possible can access this
opportunity, we have introduced four-year study abroad options to the
majority of our courses as we believe this experience enhances your learning
and widens your career prospects upon graduation.
The public funding that we receive from the Government for teaching has
been cut significantly and although this will be phased, we anticipate it
will eventually amount to a cut of more than £17 million a year, so we would
not be able to continue to deliver our high quality student experience
without alternative funding. The Government is also reducing funding to help
us to invest in new buildings and facilities, so our tuition fee will enable
us to continue and expand our investment in outstanding teaching and
learning opportunities for our students and to provide the best possible
When you receive your offer of a place at University of Essex you will be
advised of the fee status we have classified you as (home, EU or overseas).
We provide more information about your
fee status if you have queries.
You will not have to pay your tuition fees up front as the Government
will provide UK and EU students with a tuition fee loan which you only start
to repay after graduation, once you are earning over £21,000.
Grants (for those from lower income families) and loans for maintenance
support will also be available for UK students. If your family income is up
to £25,000, you will be entitled to a more generous student maintenance
grant which is non-repayable. If your family income is up to £42,000, you
will be entitled to a partial grant. Maintenance loans will be available for
all eligible full-time UK students. More
information on the student loan rates and maintenance grants
is available on the Government's website.
We have developed a comprehensive package of scholarships and bursaries
to ensure we remain accessible to all students with the potential to
succeed, regardless of their financial circumstances.
More information on these awards can be found on our
Scholarships and Bursaries for undergraduates web page.
From 2012, part-time UK and EU students are entitled to a tuition fee
loan on the same basis as full-time students. This support will be available
if you complete a minimum of 25 per cent of the full time course load per
year, unlike previous tuition fee support package which required you to be
studying for over half of your time. Part-time students will not be eligible
for maintenance support.
We offer scholarships and bursaries to support talented undergraduates,
which have been developed to ensure we remain accessible to all our students with the potential to succeed, regardless of
their financial circumstances.

investments you will make. We equip you with the financial information you need to make your decision-making process as easy as possible.

Big Band Report
The Albuquerque Jazz Orchestra Meets Fred Sturm
After opening with Belgian trumpeter Bert Joris' turbulent "Nuees D'Orage" (Storm Clouds), the AJO showcased baritone saxophonist Paul Blakey on Hank Levy's "A Smith Named Greg" (written for Stan Kenton's baritone player of that name in the mid-1970s). As a special treat, director Bobby Shew then introduced Pancho Romero, who founded the AJO almost 30 years ago and now teaches at New Mexico State University, for a sparkling flugel solo on Clifford Brown's sunny "Joy Spring."
The rest of the program was devoted to the music of Sturm who was present to introduce each of the half-dozen numbers, beginning with an off-center arrangement of Thelonious Monk's "Straight, No Chaser" scored originally for trumpeter Clark Terry. Shew was featured with pianist Chris Ishee and bassist Colin Deuble. "Do It Again," the first of two numbers by Steely Dan, included solos by tenor Lee Taylor and trombonist Ben Finberg, while the second, "The Bluefly Look," encompassed a buoyant statement by trombonist John Sanks. Sturm's "A Hymn for Her" (Kent Erickson, trumpet) was marvelously played, as was the unconventional "Didgeridoo" whose droning sounds simulated those of the exotic Australian instrument. The AJO closed the concert with Sturm's arrangement of Wayne Shorter's strenuous "Yes and No," spotlighting Shew on trumpet and Aaron Lovato on tenor sax.
The orchestra was given a well-deserved standing ovation for a concert performance that pleased both heart and head as it deftly unscrambled Sturm's often elaborate charts.
On the Horizon...
The Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, directed by trumpeter Orbert Davis, is presenting "From Ella to Mandela: The Legacy of the African and American Spirit," at 7:30 p.m. March 11, 2010 in the Auditorium Theatre at Roosevelt University in Chicago. The musical exploration of the contributions of American jazz female vocalists, juxtaposed to the South African experience in a reprise of the Nelson Mandela-inspired suite, "Hope in Action," features vocalists Dee Alexander, Terisa Griffin and Maggie Brown with Ernest Dawkins, Ari Brown, the Soul Children of Chicago and a special appearance by T'Keyah Crystal Keymah. For more information, phone 800-982-2787.
And it's not too late to register for the Los Angeles Jazz Institute's Spring 2010 Jazz Festival May 27-30 at the Sheraton LAX Four Points Hotel. As always, there'll be concerts by well-known groups both large and small, complemented by films, panel discussions and other presentations. Among the highlights: the Gerry MulliganConcert Band and Sextet, the Teddy Charles Tentet, the Gil Evans Orchestra, Terry Gibbs playing the music of Tiny Kahn, a tribute to Stan Getz by Don Menza, the Elliot Lawrence Big Band, a celebration of Al Cohn and Zoot Sims, and tributes to Bob Brookmeyer, Quincy Jones, George Russell, Manny Albam, Johnny Carisi and Alec Wilder.

New Books
For someone who spends a sizable part of his time writing, I don't read much. Never have. For me, reading has always been a slow and tedious process, one that I usually find ways to set aside for "some other time." Which is a weak yet nonetheless honest reason why I won't be reviewing two books sent to me for that purpose from Hal Leonard Publications. They appear to be fine books, and may even be of great interest, but the best I can do is let the reader know they are available.
The first is The Pat Metheny Interviews: The Inner Workings of His Creativity Revealed, by Richard Niles. According to the jacket, "In 2007, composer, arranger [and all-around Renaissance man] Niles wrote, produced and hosted a three-part radio series for the BBC titled Pat MethenyBright Size Life." The book includes Niles' interviews with Metheny for those programs along with others he has held with the guitarist over a period of years. Also included are rare photos, music examples, a discography and comments from Lyle Mays, Gary Burton, Jack DeJohnette, John Patitucci, Mike Metheny and the late Michael Brecker. For Metheny fans, a sure winner.
The second book, larger in size and scope, is titled DownBeat: The Great Interviews, a 75th Anniversary Anthology. The book is a compendium of "historic and groundbreaking" interviews printed in the magazine since DownBeat was introduced in July 1934. Also included are classic photos and covers including many shots that have remained unseen since their original publication. As for the interviewees, they range from Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Lester Young and Billie Holiday to such modernists as Ornette Coleman, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, Frank Zappa, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart and dozens more. In addition, there are features written by Louis Armstrong, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, Chet Baker, Benny Goodman, Wayne Shorter and others, not to mention the notorious article by Jelly Roll Morton in which he confronts W.C. Handy about who really "invented" Jazz, and articles by such noted writers as Studs Terkel, Nat Hentoff, Ira Gitler, Leonard Feather and more. The anthology was compiled and edited by DownBeat's Frank Alkyer and Ed Enright. It is conveniently divided into decades, from the 1930s through the 2000s, and closes with an interview of Dave Brubeck by David French. I looked for an index but couldn't find one. The hefty and attractive softcover edition runs for 352 pages and looks so inviting that I may even read some of it.
Rusty Dedrick
Trumpeter / composer Lyle "Rusty" Dedrick, who played with a number of big bands including those led by Red Norvo/ Mildred Bailey, Ray McKinley and Claude Thornhill, died on Christmas day 2010 at his home in Summitville, NY. He was 91 years old. Dedrick's other credits include writing and / or playing with Don Elliott, Urbie Green, Maxine Sullivan, Lee Wiley and Lionel Hampton, as well as television work with Arthur Godfrey, Ed Sullivan and Sid Caesar, among others. A pioneer in jazz education, Dedrick joined the faculty at Manhattan University in 1971 as director of Jazz Studies. In 1996, he was music director of the Smithsonian Institution's American Songbook series devoted to Fats Waller and Andy Razaf.
And that's it for now. Until next time, keep swingin'!
