DRONTAL Cat *
DRONTAL CAT 2 Tablet *
Drontal Cat indicated for the treatment and control of intestinal worms of cats..
For the treatment of mixed infections with roundworms and flatworms (roundworms and tapeworms) in cats. Since a tapeworm infestation may not occur in the cat, right up to the third week of life, treatment with Drontal is not indicated until after the third week of life of the animal.
Each tablet contains: Active Substances: Pyrantel Emollate 230.0 mg Praziquantel 20.0 mg
The medicinal product is an anthelmintic intended to combat nematodes and cestodes containing active substances the praziquantel (a derivative of the pyrazinoisoquinolone) and the derivative of tetrahydropyrimidine pyrante (as the encasing salt).
In this fixed combination praziquantel acts against the cestodes and its spectrum of action covers all relevant cat species of the cat, namely species of Taenia, Joyeuxiella spp., Dipylidium caninum, Mesocestoides spp., Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis. Praziquantel acts against all stages of these parasites at cat's gut level.
Praziquantel is absorbed, very rapidly, through the surface of the parasite, distributing uniform manner therein. The occurrence of severe lesions at the integument of the parasite is very rapid, both in vitro and in vivo, resulting in contraction and paralysis of the parasites. The base for the rapid triggering of action lies, above all, in the praziquantel-induced of the membrane permeability of the parasite to Ca ++, which results in metabolic dysregulation of the parasite.
Pirantel is the specific component against nematodes and shows good efficacy against all relevant cat nematodes, in particular Toxocara cati (syn. mystax), Toxascaris leonina and Ancylostoma spp. Pyrantel acts as a cholinergic agonist with nicotine-like action and causes spastic paralysis of the nematodes through a depolarizing neuromuscular block.
Route of administration: oral. The recommended dose is a single administration of 5 mg praziquantel and 57.5 mg pirantel embenus per kg body weight (equivalent to 1 tablet per 4 kg body weight).
The tablets may be administered directly or mixed with food. No dietary measures are required.

text: FROM MY PERSPECTIVE JASON HOKE Patience, Grasshopper J udges are experts and well studied in any breed they choose to evaluate. From the moment they walk in the ring for the first time, they have a full and complete grasp of all minutia related to the breed. The standards are so ingrained in their minds that they could recall them wordfor-word just as children do when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. If you were to talk to them after their assignment, they would remember every minute detail of every dog shown to them, down to the color of the leash. They miss nothing in the ring, catching every virtue and flaw, balancing them perfectly in their minds to come to a final decision that makes every exhibitor and spectator happy beyond words. If any judge believes this describes them perfectly, then please introduce yourself to the world because you are truly one of a kind! Mentors. Additional help can be sought though mentorship by experts in the breed. They are people whose blood, sweat and many tears have produced the dogs that will be entering our rings. These breeders are perhaps the single most under-utilized tool for judges. They have seen the changes in the breed, the trends, fads, pitfalls and strengths. To not take advantage of this is a missed opportunity, whether the judge is just beginning or well into a long-term judging career. Practice Makes Better but Not Perfect There are many other venues in which judges can begin to understand a breed, but I believe the ultimate teaching tool is the judging itself. Judges can have all the book knowledge in the world, but if they do not develop an eye and hone their skills, they will fail. Every experience teaches something. I am not referring to the ribbon distribution we are sometimes forced into but to the entries that contain real substance.

|[jira] Created: (HARMONY-6101) [classlib][luni] Extraneous path separator in *.boot.class.path on IBM VME 5
|Thu, 26 Feb 2009 08:33:01 GMT
[classlib][luni] Extraneous path separator in *.boot.class.path on IBM VME 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HARMONY-6101 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6101 Project: Harmony Issue Type: Bug Components: Classlib Reporter: Jim Yu By using IBM VME 5, while running SystemTest.test_getProperty_bootClassPath test case on both Linux and Windows, there is a failure: Boot class path contains extra patch separator. In the boot class path, I can see an extra ':' on Linux after: deploy/jdk/jre/bin/default/security-kernel.jar Since similar issue has been resolved in HARMONY-3298 and the test can pass on IBM VME 4. I suppose this may be caused by the VME 5. After my further investigation, I found out that the root cause of this issue is a behavior change by VME 5. For VME 4, there is no CP separator at the end of the boot strap class path set by VM. So it is OK for Harmony to extend the boot class path with values retrieved from bootclasspath.properties begins with a CP separator . But for VME 5, root class path set by VM will add a CP separator at the end, so an repeated CP separator is generated. Though it was caused by the change of VME, I find out a tricky method to make Harmony work well on both VME 4 and VME 5. I've tested my patch. It works fine on VME4, VME5 and DRLVM. Can someone take a look at this? Thanks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Parliament is discredited; its members are dishonoured. Before last year's expenses scandal, people were losing faith in politicians. The exposure of mass pilfering from the public purse accelerated the trend. It embedded the notion that MPs exist only to serve themselves, not the public.
That idea is toxic to democracy. It turns people away from the ballot box in despair. It severs the connection between the citizen and his or her elected representative. Reinforcing that connection is, therefore, one of the most urgent tasks in British public life. It has frayed for many reasons and many steps are needed to mend it, but one such opportunity presents itself next month: a referendum on fixing our rotten electoral system.
On 5 May, we will be asked if we want to adopt the "alternative vote" (AV) instead of the current "first past the post" (FPTP) system for general elections. It is not a revolutionary concept. It poses a threat only to the complacent MP who would rather not reach out to as many potential voters as possible.
With AV, candidates are ranked numerically in order of preference. To be elected, a prospective MP must gain more than 50% of votes. If none crosses that threshold on first preferences alone, the least popular candidate is eliminated. The voters' second – or, if need be, third – preferences are taken into account until someone reaches the 50% line. The winner can then claim a mandate from an overall majority in the constituency.
Why make the change? Under FPTP, the winner only needs to out-poll the nearest rival. That makes sense in a two-horse race. But if more candidates take decent shares of the vote, perverse things happen. If support is split three ways, an MP might be the first choice of, say, 36% of voters. Throw in more parties and the number backing the winner can fall into the twenties. Replicate that across the country and you end up with a parliament that simply does not reflect the will of the electorate.
People know this and many respond by voting tactically – abandoning their would-be first choice and endorsing a second in order to block a hated third. In other words, when trying to get a fair outcome from the current system, the public is already striving for a kind of AV.
There is something demoralising about such crude tactical voting. By forcing people to choose between a "wasted vote" or a reluctant second choice, FPTP entrenches cynicism about the power of the ballot. AV would not eliminate that altogether, but it would formalise the ability to signal shades of allegiance. Labour and Lib Dem sympathisers in Tory heartlands would be visible on the electoral map as never before, and vice versa. FPTP was suitable when support was carved up between two parties. In the 1951 general election, 96% of votes went to either Labour or the Tories. Since then the trend has been greater plurality. Labour won the 2005 election with just 35%. In 2010, Labour and the Tories together took just two thirds of the national vote. With the old duopoly in decline, there is not much to defend in FPTP. Its virtue lies in the link between an MP and his local area, but that is preserved under AV.
Sensing that their product is hard to sell, the No campaign merely attacks the alternative. Some of the arguments are desperate. Their claim that AV is too complicated insults the electorate. Listing candidates in order is not quantum mechanics.
It is also childish to attack AV, as David Cameron did, on the grounds that it is unloved by proponents of more radical reforms. The prime minister delights in reminding people that Nick Clegg once called it a "miserable little compromise". It is true that AV is not proportional representation – the Lib Dems' ideal system, which allocates seats in parliament more accurately according to national shares of the vote. But the history of reform in Britain is written in increments and compromises. The fact that a change is modest is no case for the status quo.
There is a fallacy, too, in one of the No campaign's more compelling lines. This is the idea that the more preferences someone expresses, the more votes he has. Someone who puts a fringe party as their first choice – goes the argument – will be sure of having their subsequent choices counted. Whereas the person who ranked the eventual winner first only got one turn. Thus, it is claimed, the BNP voter gets more bites at the cherry than the Labour or Tory voter.
This is not so. As losers are eliminated the subsequent preferences on the ballots of the failed candidates are indeed reallocated. But that process amounts to a kind of second-round run-off, or recount, in which the first preferences awarded to more mainstream candidates count again – just as much as they did in the first round. If AV offered any kind of advantage to the BNP, Nick Griffin would back it. He is supporting the No side.
Another objection to AV is that, far from promoting extremists, it would lead to blander politics. Candidates would say nothing of substance, aiming to be all things to all people in order to secure their second preferences.
In some seats that might happen, although those would probably be the places where centre-hugging caution already prevails. Meanwhile, sitting MPs, who have relied for years on the mobilisation of a core vote, would be forced to court constituents with whom they might never before have bothered. That should broaden, not narrow, the debate.
It is a fair criticism of modern political campaigns that they duck difficult issues and rely on fuzzy goodwill messages. But that tendency is exacerbated by the current electoral arrangement. Party strategists discount swaths of the country, where the results are predetermined by immovable blocs of Labour or Tory support, and customise their message for swing voters in a few marginal seats. AV would wreak havoc with those calculations.
It is, of course, impossible to say what would actually happen. Attempts to reimagine past elections under AV deliver some curious outcomes. In some cases governments would have had smaller majorities or none. But massive swings are also exaggerated, so Tony Blair's majority might have been even vaster in 1997. But these are misleading hypotheses. Under AV, John Major might not have won in 1992, so the 1997 poll would have been entirely different. Past voter behaviour under the old system is no guide to future behaviour under a new one.
The Conservatives' great fear from AV is the increased likelihood of coalition government. That is doubly odd, since partnership with the Lib Dems has put them in power, and the conditions that made their coalition necessary arose under FPTP.
On the Labour benches, too, there is concern about never again winning a big enough majority to govern alone, while mistrust of coalitions is animated by special loathing for Nick Clegg. The Lib Dem leader's egregious abandonment of campaign pledges is cited as proof that coalition-building breeds dishonesty.
Lib Dem U-turns hardly advanced the public's faith in politicians' promises. But it is absurd to blame the fact of coalition, as if every manifesto of every winning party before 2010 was fastidiously implemented.
Coalitions are here to stay even under the current system. A hung parliament was elected because neither of the two biggest parties commanded enough support to be trusted alone in government. The idea that they should seek remedy for that decline by propping up a system that helps them cheat is lazy and arrogant.
AV is not perfect. No system captures the will of the people with photographic realism. The goal is a fair approximate, and FPTP fails utterly. It distorts, obstructs, obscures and perverts voter choices. It causes tens of thousands of votes to be wasted; it forces people to endorse candidates they don't like, just to punish ones they like even less.
AV will not solve all of the problems of British democracy. It will not undo the harm of the expenses scandal, nor provoke a renaissance of civic participation. It is only a reform. It promises one thing: by taking account of multiple preferences, it would elect a parliament that more accurately describes the political complexion of the nation. That is a start.
There is no ideal option on the menu. Campaigners will try to overlay many questions on to the ballot paper, chiefly partisan jeers about the current coalition and the character of Nick Clegg. These are distractions. There is only one question that matters. Our voting system is obsolete, corrupt, broken. Do we want to upgrade it so that elections are fairer?
The answer has to be yes.

There are reports this Friday that some stores in Queensland are reporting a Zooper Dooper shortage as the heatwave strikes. This is obviously quite distressing.
So is this a disaster for us all? Is there mass panic in the aisles as Australians stock up on their favourite affordable icy treat?
We think not. The Huffington Post Australia has just contacted Lion Dairy & Drinks, who make Zooper Doopers. We pretty much just, wait for it, "cold-called" them.
Basically we wanted to know a potted history of the Zooper Dooper. They were around when most of us were kids. Then they seemed to disappear for a while. And now they're back, big time. What's the deal? And has the Big Bash cricket sponsorship helped sales?
Boy, didn't we learn a lot today. We learned that Zooper Doopers have 11.1 grams of sugar per tube, and that they're 99 percent made of Australian stuff. We learned that they've been around since 1974, and that there are 43 calories per ZD.
Our other findings can be summarised below:
Have a zooper dooper weekend, everybody. Stay cool out there.

If only that were the end of the story. But then it wouldnt be much of a story now would it?
I cupped my hands around my cricket as we walked to our car, but when I opened my hands to see my new pet, he was gone! Oh woe is me, he was a faithful friend.
Our next stop was the bread store. On the way there I kept wiggling in my seat...
You know how sometimes you can't get comfortable, everything itches...you feel like bugs are crawling in your pants. It was that feeling.
"Mom" I whined, "I think there is a cricket in my pants!" Now I had concealed the fact that I was adopting a cricket from the pet store, so she dismissed my plaintive cries of discomfort to my quirks of being the middle child raised on a farm.
We got out of the car at the pet store and I once again cried to my mother that I thought there was a cricket in my pants. She dragged me to the counter and asked the lovely ladies working if there was a restroom we could use. They informed us that is was for employee use only.
"Please, my daughter thinks there is a cricket in her pants" she informed them. I saw their looks of mingled confusion and disgust, but one of them finally gave in and led us to the restroom. Once inside my mom looked at me and said "Okay Rebekah, pull down your pants".
I did...nothing. "See" she said, "I told you there is no way there was a cricket in your pants."
I pulled down my underpants....and there it was....the cricket. Oh the horror! It still makes me shudder!
Back in the store my mother announced, to my humiliation, "Well what do you know! She really did have a cricket in her pants!"
I don't think I have picked up a cricket to this day. Would you?

Apple Sells 44 Million iPhones in Q2, Beats Earnings Estimates
Apple beat Wall Street estimates for earnings and revenue in the March quarter, but projected lower-than-expected results for the upcoming quarter.
Apple posted earnings of $11.62 a share on revenue of $45.6 billion for the second quarter, coming in well ahead of analyst estimates for earnings of $10.18 a share on revenue of $43.5 billion. However, the company said it expects revenue to drop to between $36 billion and $38 billion in the June quarter.
The iPhone business — still Apple's largest individual product line — proved stronger than analysts had expected. Apple reported sales of 43.7 million iPhones for the March quarter, beating estimates of around 38 million iPhones. That's up from 37.4 million iPhones sold during the same quarter a year earlier.
The iPad, on the other hand, came in below estimates. Apple sold 16.3 million iPads in the quarter, down from 19.5 million a year earlier, suggesting a slowdown in demand for the product line. The bottom also appears to have fallen out from the iPod line, as Apple reported selling just 2.8 million of the devices, a 52% decline from a year earlier.
Apple announced plans to boost its stock buyback by $30 billion to $90 billion and implement an unusual 7-1 split.
Apple stock was up by about almost 8% in after hours trading following the earnings report and buyback announcement.

Managing Diabetes and School
Whether a child was just diagnosed with diabetes this summer, or has had diabetes for years, now that the school year is well underway, many families have questions about school resources available for children with diabetes. It can be frightening for parents to send their children off to school with a health issue, such as type 1 diabetes, that requires round-the-clock care. Students have a right to safe diabetes care in school and this right is backed by state and federal laws. Now is a great time to review some of the systems in place to help keep kids with diabetes safe at school.Read more

Ex-Journey singer Steve Perry was all smiles in a recent post-surgery photo he posted on his personal blog. The 64-year-old ran into MTV DJ Martha Quinn at a local street fair.
Both were coincidentally wearing a flannel shirt, and Quinn even pointed it out in her Twitter post. The photo comes after Perry was diagnosed and went through two successful surgeries for melanoma skin cancer.
The Californian found out about the melanoma after a "routine mole" was removed from his face which led to a lab report that revealed the issue. He had two surgeries in a span of two weeks, but he mentioned in his blog post that "they think they got it all," and that "no other treatments are required."
Times of late have been rough for Perry as he recently lost the love of his life, Kellie Nash, to brain cancer. Nash passed away in California in December after a long battle that included a move to New York for specific treatments.
The ex-Journey singer channeled his love for Nash in his blog on June 6, which you can see here. Steve Perry is regularly considered one of the most influential singers and songwriters of his generation and for many more to come, but he's also shown signs of determination and perseverance for dealing with the loss of his love while battling through another form of the same disease.
The struggles with his own battle with cancer seem to be over now and Martha Quinn's Twitter post shows Perry smiling, which is a good sign for all fans and supporters of the popular singer.
Glanced up from organic olives at Farmer's Mkt when my eyes fell upon…The Voice. Steve Perry!! #flannelshirts haha! twitter.com/MarthaQuinn/st…
— Martha Quinn (@MarthaQuinn) June 2, 2013
The picture does reveal Perry's face scar, but it doesn't look to be bothering him in the slightest bit. He said in the blog that he joked with Quinn about himself and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies as they "both laughed."
Doesn't ex-Journey singer Steve Perry look happy and healthy in the recent post-surgery photo?

Lhasa Sightseeing Tour
Throughout the history, Lhasa has remained the spiritual, political and economic centre of Tibet. Lhasa houses most of the important monasteries and cultural treasures of Tibet. A visit to Lhasa is not just the visit of Tibet's capital but it will allow an opportunity to experience Tibetan culture, visit the numerous heritage sites and watch the daily life of the Tibetans. This is what known as Lhasa sightseeing tour.
Our trip starts with a spectacular flight across the Himalaya from Kathmandu to Lhasa. You will see Mt Everest and a long range of the Himalayas from the flight.

Mr. Glenn Tilbrook, longtime lead vocalist for Squeeze, is without doubt one of the foremost practitioners of his craft. There is little he can't do, and beautifully. Then-member Paul Carrack, primarily a keyboardist, sang lead on the iconic Tempted, for some reason. He certainly did a creditable job, but it sure is a fine thing to hear Glenn take his rightful place at the microphone, for the two live versions presented above. Pulling Mussels, and Is That Love, both illustrate the band's talents for creating clever, catchier-than-thou pop classics, and Tilbrook is precisely the man you'd want to sing them. Good ol' Jools Holland makes an appearance or two, here, to boot.

Analysis: An in-depth look at the pieces of Washington State's now finalized 2019-20 basketball roster
UPDATED: Wed., July 10, 2019
After months of acquisitions, departures and transfer portal uncertainty, new Washington State basketball coach Kyle Smith can rest easy having finalized the Cougars' 2019-20 roster. Transfer portal entries Marvin Cannon and Ahmed Ali both opted to return to Pullman, cementing Smith's 15-man roster, which will be a fairly even blend of returning players, Division I/junior college transfers and high school prospects.
In early March, before an influx of newcomers signed on with Smith and the Cougars, the coach was working with a cupboard, with Ali and Cannon undecided on their futures and Elleby mulling an early exit to the NBA. At that point, Smith's roster was made up of just three players – Jervae Robinson, Aljaz Kunc and Jeff Pollard.
"I was terrified," Smith said. "I was trying to keep it cool. … I knew we would get some of the guys we were recruiting, but boy that's hard. It's like a poker game. We were out of visits and I didn't want that to be public because I'm trying to recruit. … We had four guys sign without visiting.
"So I'm really partial to these guys. I know they're not afraid. They opted in, they want the challenge. So like I said, it was a little scary there but we're getting the guys on the right terms and they really want to be here."
Below, we delve into WSU's finalized roster, breaking down how each player fared last season, their strengths, weaknesses and a quick take from Smith.
Ahmed Ali
Last season: A 24-game starter for the Cougars who would've had the Pac-12's third-best assist-to-turnover ratio had he averaged at least three assists.
Strengths: With Robert Franks and/or Elleby on the floor last season, the Cougars didn't need Ali's scoring as much, so he settled for being one of the league's top facilitators. He'll probably have to do more of the same for Smith this season.
What he needs to work on: Opponents will always take advantage of the 5-foot-11, 165-pound Ali on the defensive end. He can't control that, per se, but he'll be a much more valuable asset if he can boost his 3-point clip. Ali made 43% of his 3s at junior college, but dropped to 32 last year at WSU.
Smith's take: "Transition, good offensive player. Good decision-maker. Good shooter. He needs to improve on the defensive end. Size, he's got to overcome that, but he's got a good feel. … I think he can be a good facilitator and playmaker. We really value ball-handling, he can help us there."
Isaac Bonton
Last season: Scored 21.4 points per game and grabbed 5.5 rebounds as a sophomore at Casper College in Wyoming.
Strengths: In flashes, Bonton proved he could score at the Division I level during his lone year at Montana State, then reaffirmed that in junior college. Bonton's length and athleticism will both serve him well in the Pac-12, where he'll be guarding bigger and better guards than the ones he saw at JC or in the Big Sky.
What he needs to work on: Staying healthy is key for someone who suffered a concussion and dealt with a bruised hip during his year in Bozeman. Turnovers have also plagued him at both college stops – Bonton's 25 were most among the Bobcats by the time he left two years ago and his 2.7 per game led Casper in 2018-19.
Smith's take: "He's an explosive scorer, playmaker, and I think he'll be a good defender. Because he's got a good body – 6-3, 190. Good talent."
Marvin Cannon
Last season: The Virginian played in all 32 games for WSU as a sophomore, averaging 8.7 ppg in Pac-12 play.
Strengths: Getting to the free throw line should be more of a priority for somebody who had the second-best clip (84%) in the Pac-12 last season.
What he needs to work on: Cannon broke out with 25 points against Washington and reached the 20-point plateau one other time against Rider, but also failed to score in double digits 10 times in Pac-12 play. More consistency on the offensive end could turn the junior into a top-flight Pac-12 player.
Smith's take: "Slashy shooter. Defender. Just athlete. I think he's rare, that kind of an athlete (who) can shoot the ball."
CJ Elleby
Last season: The Pac-12's second-best freshman scorer and rebounder broke WSU's freshman scoring record with 471 points on the season.
Strengths: Elleby played in the shadow of the Pac-12's top scorer last season, but still scored nearly 15 ppg. He's able to score from just about any spot on the floor – Elleby's 3-point shot hit 41% of the time – is expected to score as well as anyone in the conference this season.
What he needs to work on: During the pre-NBA draft process, Elleby stated after a workout with the Indiana Pacers that defense would have to take more precedence next season. In fact, it's probably the only thing standing between Elleby and getting picked up in the 2020 NBA draft.
Smith's take: "Do everything. He's one of those interchangeable pieces I think the NBA likes. But just can't emphasize enough how much of a great attitude. I expect him – I didn't know, he's the one that had the leverage and he could've been like I don't need it. But he's been awesome."
Daron Henson
Last season: The former Utah State player finished his lone season at Salt Lake Community College with 12.3 points per game and 4.7 rebounds.
Strengths: A 6-foot-7 forward with a solid 3-point shot, Henson will give the Cougars an opportunity to stretch the floor when he's playing and while he hasn't proven to be an elite rebounder at either of his stops, he's definitely serviceable and should be an asset on the boards.
What he needs to work on: Two years ago at USU, Henson was 38% from the three-point line, but just 34% from the field. Those two numbers were basically flipped last season at SLCC, but with all the competition WSU expects in the front court, Henson will probably need to improve to 45% from the field and 40% from 3 if he hopes to carve out a rotation spot.
Smith's take: "He's a stretch four, beautiful looking shot. It'll be challenging, there's a lot of depth there, and someone's going to have to separate but he has an opportunity to."
Deion James
Last season: An injury forced James to miss his junior season at Colorado State, but the 6-6 forward averaged more than 10 points and 5 rebounds in Fort Collins the year prior.
Strengths: Aside from a 3-point shot, James has just about everything the Cougars would need from a point forward and should remind WSU fans of the program's last grad transfer, Drick Bernstine. In his last season with the Rams, James finished third on the team in points, rebounds and blocks and turned in a solid 1.6 assists per game as well.
What he needs to work on: If James could develop some semblance of a 3-point shot, it would be a major tool for the Cougars. It's been more than a calendar year since James has played Division I minutes, so merely getting back on the floor and showing he hasn't lost a step will be important for the grad transfer.
Smith's take: "We want him to be like our Draymond (Green). At least on the offensive end. Good feel, can play four, five and three. Probably more four. Four would be ideal. … A guy I recruited at San Francisco and he's older, mature. … I think being played, started in the Mountain West and pretty productive, I think he's a great piece for us."
Aljaz Kunc
Last season: Of the returning players on this WSU roster, Kunc's 11.7 minutes per game were the fewest, though he played in 31 of the 32 games.
Strengths: He didn't have the minutes to truly showcase it, but Kunc brings a feathery 3-point shot and doesn't miss much from the free throw line. His 13 steals in 2018-19 were also impressive given the limited minutes.
What he needs to work on: The sophomore is still very much a project who needs another year in the weight room before he can bang around with Pac-12 opposition. Kunc's 23 turnovers – compared to 13 assists – were also an area of concern.
Smith's take: "He's kind of battling an ankle injury, but he plays hard and he's a worker. I go in there and I get my run in, not every day, but I go in there at 7:30 a.m. and he's usually lifting. He really wants to be good, he's one that'll work for it. Bright kid, too. Like a 1,450 SAT. I like those guys."
Volodymyr "Vova" Markovetskyy
Last season: Played for a top Lithaunain pro club, Zalgiris, and advanced to the Euroleague's Final Four. Representing the Ukraine at the 2018 FIBA U18 European Championships, he averaged 11.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots in 24.3 minutes per game.
Strengths: The Cougars list him at 7-1, 230 pounds, but Smith insists Markovetskyy is closer to 7-2, 250, which means he should immediately be a threat in the low post. If Markovetskyy does nothing else his freshman campaign, he should at least be able to throw his body around the point and devour rebounds.
What he needs to work on: Running the court isn't a strength of the big Ukrainian's – and it may never be. Although he's nimble for his size, Markovetskyy will have to make conditioning a focal point his initial year with the Cougars. If he can thrive as a passer down low, it'll open up plenty more for WSU on the perimeter.
Smith's take: "Big Vova is a low-post presence, and he moves pretty well. He's got good hands, did well in the Euro A's. He produced even better than Przemek (Karnrowski) did in that level. I don't think he's Przemek, but it'd be nice. He's not the same passer. He's got a big body."
Jeff Pollard
Last season: Hampered by a concussion late in the season, Pollard only played in 29 of a possible 32 games, but still finished with the team's best field goal percentage – albeit it came on only 93 attempts.
Strengths: Experience, experience, experience. Pollard's voice and leadership will no doubt be his most valuable assets on this young/new WSU team. He has the most Division I experience on the roster and will presumably take on a captainlike role for Smith. Pollard's tenacity on the defensive end is also a tremendous asset for the defensive-minded Smith.
What he needs to work on: Though he's made strides on offense, Pollard needs to be a mediocre scorer at best if he wants to see large chunks of floor time as a senior. If he can develop a decent mid-range game and spot up for the occasional 3, the forward could earn a few more minutes from a coach who went to some impressive lengths to bring him back.
Smith's take: "Steady Eddy, stretch five. I call him Mr. Pullman. He took a visit and wanted to make sure. I had to recruit him back and I was like, 'Come on, Jeff.' He's all bought in, he's graduated, he's in grad school, he's in the office every day. I think he's got the potential to be a coach someday."
Ryan Rapp
Last season: Rapp joins the Cougars after two seasons in Melbourne, Australia, where he played at Mazenod College, earning all-conference honors and winning team MCP both seasons.
Strengths: The Australian possesses good size for a combo guard and has a strong IQ for the game coming from a basketball family. Rapp may not be an excellent scorer or stout defender, but he also shouldn't be a liability on either end of the floor for the Cougars.
What he needs to work on: With the experience in front of Rapp, it's unlikely he sees significant floor time as a true freshman – and he may need that time to grow anyway. Adjusting to the pace of play at the NCAA level is often a hurdle for foreign players, and Rapp, similar to Kunc and Markovetskyy, may need a year with the strength training staff before he's ready to contribute.
Smith's take: "Late bloomer, coach's son, worker. Big guard. … Has to get stronger. In a perfect world we'd be able to redshirt, but he's doing well."
Jervae Robinson
Last year: One of only four players to appear in all 32 games, Robinson scored 4.6 points per game in his first Division I season.
Strengths: WSU's offensive tempo was always a little faster when Robinson was on the court last season, and his versatility allowed him to man the point for the Cougars or play off the ball.
What he needs to work on: Robinson shot just 37% from the field last season and held the lowest 3-point percentage by a WSU guard, at just 22. Depending who's on the floor, the Cougars won't have much perimeter shooting from the frontcourt at times, so Robinson needs to improve there in order to guarantee a role.
Smith's take: "(He's) actually had a really good summer."
DJ Rodman
Last year: A high-volume scorer and rebounder, Rodman comes to WSU after scoring 24.2 ppg and grabbing 8.9 rpg while playing for JSerra Catholic of Southern California's highly-competitive Trinity League.
Strengths: He did a little bit of everything at the high school level and seems to be a much more capable scorer than his father was at the same age – and he's able to play a few more spots on the floor. But Dad passed down some of his best traits, too. DJ, like Dennis, is a gritty defender, and he's a top-notch rebounder who hauled down six boards per game each of his last three prep seasons.
What he needs to work on: With more athleticism, Rodman could've stacked up a few more Pac-12/Power Six offers, but most of his interest came from California mid-majors, which indicates he could be more of a project for the Cougars, who probably have too much depth at the "three" and "four" on this roster anyway.
Smith's take: "Shot-maker, tough. He's kind of the exact opposite (of his father). Shot-maker, got a little grit to him. Just kind of strong. Not super athletic, but good feel."
Noah Williams
Last year: A do-it-all guard, Williams averaged 17.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists as a high school senior at Seattle's O'Dea.
Strengths: Smith wants Williams to stay clear of WSU's football operations building – he's afraid Mike Leach will take the O'Dea product on as a wide receiver. The 6-5 Williams was an All-Metro League selection for the Irish football team, and his combination of size and athleticism should get him onto the floor right away.
What he needs to work on: His skill set and athleticism should both translate to the Pac-12 level, and Williams could very well join Elleby and Malachi Flynn as the next player from the Seattle-Tacoma area to help the Cougars as a rookie. Like the rest of Smith's freshmen, hours in the weight room and time on the practice court will be critical for the son of ex-WSU standout Guy Williams.
Smith's take: "Noah's an athlete. He has a chance to really impact. Defensively, tremendous and then pretty good offensive player, too. I think Isaac and him are two of the most talented guys. He's young, but if he can – and I think he'll be an elite guard. We like to play two point guards. He could be a game-changer down the road. But he's really fast, and he can get to the basket. Good passer."

Dr. Sumana Ramarao helped pin up posters along the mural-covered hall leading to Children's Hospital as part of the University of Mississippi Medical Center's first Pediatric Research Day June 15.
Each poster displayed the results of months, even years, of work that have the potential to one day change the care of children and babies.
"Sumana, you're the mother of good children!" Dr. Norma Ojeda, associate professor of neonatology, exclaimed over Ramarao's participation in multiple research projects, including one that shows how a commonly used antibiotic, azithromycin, can reduce brain inflammation in low-weight newborns.
That particular project involved 18 months of work during Ramarao's three-year fellowship. She'll be joining UMMC as a neonatologist in July.
Held in an area of the Medical Center that's a crossroads for medical professionals as well as patients and families, Pediatric Research Day is an effort to highlight research efforts to colleagues and the community, said organizer Lacy Malloch, research specialist in pediatrics and child development.
"We wanted to show our research where families would be walking, so it will be seen by not only faculty and staff but also by the families we serve," Malloch said.
The research seen on posters Friday may go on to change patient care, said neonatology researcher Kathleen Carter, among those with study posters on display.
"I'm really excited to see all our research in one place," she said.
Pediatric Research Day puts UMMC's mission on display as well.
"It's a way to show how we are fulfilling the three pillars of an academic medical center," Ojeda said. "Many of the research projects are done by those in fellowships in neonatology and other departments. They are in the training phase of their medical education, and they are providing service by helping care for patients. They are also using their expertise to generate new knowledge through research."
Showcasing research promotes UMMC and encourages its people, said Ojeda. "I don't care if you are in kindergarten or are a full professor, you want to be recognized for what you are doing."
Displays included details of efforts to create a university-based pediatric clinical trials network, find best practices for care of infants exposed in utero to opioids, Vitamin D supplementation in children with obesity-related asthma, hypoxic ischemic brain injuries in newborns, intrauterine growth restriction, ventilation after surgery and ways to increase availability of breastmilk to babies in neonatal intensive care.
Pediatric cardiology research projects included studies in managing acute rental failure following pediatric heart transplants and use of stents to treat vascular obstructions.
That so many of the research projects focused on newborns was gratifying for Dr. Abhay Bhatt, professor and director of research in newborn medicine.
"I'm very proud of the work being done by our fellows," said Bhatt. "They're finding innovative approaches to medical challenges, and their work shows that our fellowship programs match any in the U.S."

I have been privately whitewater rafting for six years now and starting guiding commercially last season. This season I was required to take a Swiftwater Rescue Course for my new guiding position in Alaska. I have always wanted to take one but since it wasn't required I kept putting it off.
I came across WRI (Whitewater Rescue Institute) by the way of luck. There are many different companies that do classes but the one I signed up for canceled at the last minute. They said they didn't have enough people to fill the class. This left me in a tight spot, luckily WRI was having a class the same weekend, at the same spot, for $20 less. I was saved! There was so much that encompassed this class it is hard to cover it all but here is a solid summary of it.
Day 1
The course was located at WRI headquarters just outside of Missoula, MT on the Alberton Gorge. Pulling up to the boathouse I was instantly impressed by their organization. We started off getting to know each other. There were almost 30 people enrolled for this class which I thought was a lot. Cody Harris and Mike Johnston were going to be our primary instructors. Right away you could tell they new what they were talking about. We had a open discussion on a video we watched of different accidents and rescues. Then covered the basics of hydrology. After the class room time we headed out to the gorge where we had a cataraft, multiple rafts and a couple inflatable kayaks. I thought this was a big bonus, being that a lot of courses you never really get on the water in a vessel. We practiced flip drills, reading and running, identifying hazards, boat spacing, swimming rapids and so on.
Day 2
We changed the location to the Blackfoot River for day 2. Here we practiced human chain techniques swimming rapids, eddy jumping, rope throws, foot entrapment, strainers, live bait, and rescue swimming scenarios. At the end of the day we went over different types of knots and setting up Z drags. The instructors were willing to stay as long as people had questions on stuff and made sure everyone understood tying knots and setting up a Z-Drag.
Day 3
We split the day with half of it on the Clearwater River and half on the Blackfoot. It was great how they took advantage of certain spots on certain rivers to create rescue scenarios. Here we practiced low water dam strainer, bridge strainer, and zip line scenarios on the Clearwater. Then went back to the Blackfoot and practice stranded victims, boat pins, strainers, unconscious swimmers and so forth. The boat pin and strainer scenarios were very well dialed. They actually had strainers set up so you could get pinned by them to feel how hard it is to get over after you are pinned. They also pinned a canoe, with a victim that was also pinned against the canoe, that we had to rescue. The canoe required a Z-Drag to get it unpinned. The great thing about day 3 the were able to incorporate everything from day 1 and 2 into day 3.
Cody and Mike and the rest of the WRI crew were really able to take a large number of students at different comfort levels, and successfully keep everyone fully engaged and learning throughout the entire class. We had a large number of search and rescue, some firefighters, private boaters, kayakers, raft guides, and novices. These dynamics can make it difficult but I felt they thrived off of it. They were also able to create very realistic scenarios. They put themselves in some really tough spots and really made you think of the safest way to rescue someone. They were able to make the class fun along with pushing the limits. If you are interested in doing a course like this I would get a hold of these guys for a 5 star experience. They offer classes all over the world. Check out there website for more information. http://www.whitewaterrescue.com/

"I was doing my regular daily exercises when I fell and broke my right ankle. The break caused me to have surgery and be put in a cast. I was compromised and needed help. I went to Pickaway Manor for rehab and recovery based on several recommendations and their unique therapy unit. The excellent therapists and nurses worked with me to reach my goal of going home. Now back home with my family, I continue to do daily exercises this time with the techniques I was taught. I would definitely recommend Pickaway Manor."
"I have to give credit to God for helping me heal after my hip replacement. For recovery after surgery, I chose Pickaway Manor, not wanting to put the burden of caring for me on my children.

How Buyable Pins help businesses achieve their mobile commerce goals
Last summer, we launched Buyable Pins, which lets people buy products right from the Pinterest app. Buyable Pins make it easy for people to take action while they're browsing Pinterest to discover new inspiration.
In just a few months, we've learned Buyable Pins are helping thousands of stores reach shoppers on their mobile devices, bringing them new customers, more mobile sales and a greater understanding of their audience.
Bringing new customers to your business
We surveyed hundreds of sellers after the holidays and they told us that between 84-100% of their sales from Buyable Pins came from customers new to their business.
All customers who bought Buyable Pin items during the holiday from FlyAway BlueJay, a shop that sells handmade jewelry and gifts from independent artists, were new. "For small businesses like us, using a large platform like Pinterest to reach new customers is critical," said Holly Feld, FlyAway BlueJay's owner.
With Buyable Pins, FlyAway BlueJay saw strong sales in their core categories of beauty and jewelry. But Buyable Pins also increased sales in nearly every other category, including scarves, sunglasses and notebooks. Buyable Pins help customers discover a wide range of products.
"Pinterest provided us access to an audience looking for specific items such as unique pencils or headbands," Feld said. "These customers might not have been exposed to our brand before."
The same was true for Modern Citizen, a newer shopping site for women.
"As a newer company, Pinterest is a key acquisition channel for us, and we loved seeing new customers come in from Pinterest who had never purchased with us before," said Nichole Powell, Modern Citizen's marketing manager.
She added: "One surprising thing is that many Pinterest orders are placed from areas outside of our usual urban demographic—orders have come in from all across the map… it's been interesting to see how Pinterest enables us to reach new customers in unexpected locations."
"It outperformed our goals. We received more orders through Buyable Pins than any other single social traffic source."
Boosting mobile sales and traffic
Buyable Pins are the bridge between shoppers discovering an item they want and connecting them right to the business that's providing it. And of course, that's led to more sales and traffic for these shops.
PARC, a Minneapolis-based boutique, said 20% of its traffic comes from Buyable Pins, which are responsible for 10% of all sales.
FlyAway BlueJay said 20% of its sales in the last quarter of 2015 were from Buyable Pins.
"It outperformed our goals. We received more orders through Buyable Pins than any other single social traffic source," Feld said. Now, Pinterest is their largest social source of traffic and sales, driving 28 percent of its total site traffic.
Mobile access to products has been a central part of Modern Citizen's strategy. Buyable Pins made that access easier. Since implementing Buyable Pins and Rich Pins across their entire product inventory, the company saw orders from Pinterest go up by 73 percent.
shophearts, a shop that sells boho-style footwear, accessories and apparel, said Buyable Pins were responsible for 15% of all of its business and 20% of its site traffic over the holidays.
"Buyable Pins made it easier for us to gain more exposure without all the traditional legwork. A Pinner can search for an item, like a jacket, and our parka jacket would show up as buyable. This increased the chances of a purchase," said Tanya Nguyenbui, store manager.
Learning more about your customer
Alongside boosting traffic and sales from new customers, Buyable Pins have also helped retailers gain a better understanding of their customer's tastes and wants.
Modern Citizen says Buyable Pins allow them to gauge what sells well and better discern customer demand.
"We've found that if a particular style does well on Pinterest, that it's likely an indicator that our audience is looking for more of that style, whether that be structured tops, midi-length skirts, or a particular color," Powell said. "We can then use that data to shape our strategy for the following collections."
And Modern Citizen can also take what it learns to shape its brand in a new way.
"As an e-commerce retailer, we're constantly thinking about our customer's life from all angles—not only what she's wearing, but where she's going, what she's interested in, and what she's doing. Pinterest enables us to learn about our customers' interests as well as share our own worldview," Powell said. "We're able to explain our brand and what we stand for in a more nuanced way, and that enables us to use Pinterest as a richer acquisition channel as a result."
What are you waiting for? Get Buyable Pins through one of our commerce platform partners and start seeing sales from new customers.

Derick Rethans was first to raise the issue of EOL for PHP4. Siting the nice PHP5 and PHP 6 unicode semantics he called for a vote on the issue. The official announcement comes exactly three years since the release of PHP5. The final date for PHP4 will be 31-12-2007. This gives developers and web hosts six months to get their acts together on a migration path.
Mostly it was good news, with some having reservations regarding the adoption of PHP 5. However, by continuing support for PHP 4, the PHP development team would have four versions to maintain including devel. Others sited figures regarding PHP 5 adoption but most of these are un-official and showing PHP 5 adoption levels at about twenty percent. Other figures quoted showed almost sixty percent.
Security fixes would still be put in place on a case by case basis untill 08-08-08 should they be deemed serious enough. Rasmus Lerdrof piped in saying " don't really understand what dropping support means if we will still release security fixes. That's the mode we have been in for at least a year.. Of course new documentation will need to be provided for a migration path from PHP4->PHP6 as well as from PHP5.*

Rep. Patty Kim January 24, 2017 | 1:13 PM
State Rep. Patty Kim, D-Dauphin, unveiled her updated minimum wage bill at a Capitol news conference today in the Capitol Media Center.
During the event, Kim and other lawmakers discussed the merits of phasing in increases that differentiate for small businesses.
This proposed change in the minimum wage scale for workers across the commonwealth will be further examined during a public hearing on the matter at 2 p.m. Monday, Jan. 30 at the YWCA, Highmark Room, 1101 Market St.
"In the budget negotiations, minimum wage should be a top priority," Kim said. "Opponents will say we can't afford to increase the minimum wage, but I must maintain, as we begin the 2017 legislative session, that this is something we simply cannot afford not to do."
Kim's proposal includes seven scheduled increases, beginning with $12 per hour effective July 1, with additional 50 cent incremental increases yearly to $15 per hour by 2023.
Currently, someone earning minimum wage who works 40 hours per week only earns $15,080, some $4,700 below the poverty line, requiring many people to rely on government assistance programs to get by.
At next week's hearing, Kim will be joined by Mary Quinn, president and CEO of the YWCA Harrisburg, Mark Price, Ph.D., a labor economist from the Keystone Research Center, and others to discuss her proposal in more detail.
For more information, contact Kim's office at (717) 986-1673 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

David Moyes has revealed he hopes to bring Steven Pienaar back to Everton following his successful spell on loan from Tottenham Hotspur last season.
The South African midfielder spent the second half of the previous campaign at Goodison Park scoring four goals in 14 as the Toffees' narrowly missed out on securing a place in the Europa League.
Pienaar spent three-and-a-half years on Merseyside before moving to Spurs during the 2011 January transfer window and his old boss is hoping to bring him back to the club this summer.
The 30-year-old found first team opportunities hard to come by at White Hart Lane resulting in the temporary switch to his old club with Moyes now eager to make it a permanent deal.
"We're keen and I hope in time that we will be able to conclude that deal," said Moyes at a press conference on Thursday.
The North London club appointed Andre Villas-Boas as their new manager replacing Harry Redknapp and Moyes isn't sure whether that will scupper his chances of re-signing Pienaar.
"I don't know if it has or not," he replied.
"I don't like talking about players at other clubs but I think the fact of the matter is that Steven has made it clear he wants to come back to Everton.
"By my understanding that hasn't changed. My next job hopefully in the coming weeks is to get Steven Pienaar here as well."
Moyes is once again working on a shoestring budget at Everton but was able to bolster his attack earlier this week after finalising the capture of Steven Naismith on a free transfer.
The Scotland international terminated is contract at cash-stricken Rangers signing a four-year deal with the Toffees telling their official website it was an easy decision to make.
"To come to such a wonderful Club is extra special," Naismith said.
"My decision to move here was down to the manager's leadership, first of all. Over the last 10 years, it's been one of the most successful clubs in terms of growing."

Training and Consultancy Testimonials
Hear from our partners about how they found our training
"Can I say a huge thank you for the amazing training you did for our team. The feedback has been excatly what I wanted plus more. I am confident the quality of our missing interviews will increase but more so the emphasis on putting children at the forefront has been emphasised. The whole team loved the training and have been talking about it all since plus how they intend to change the way they do things as a result. An added bonus has been finding out the services you offer to missing children nationwide so that this can be given to all the children we interview enabling them to access a confidential or anonymous way of serrking help. I couldn't have asked for more. "
Team Manager, Emergency Duty Team & Placement Support Service, City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council
"Staff have reported that they now feel much more confident to carry out return interviews with young people and expecially how to pitch the very important initial contact with a young people or their parent/carer. It was felt that the blend of theory and opportunity to roleplay/ rehearse was appropriate and well balanced. I would recommend your training to other providers of return interviews."
Operations Manager, Somerset Youth Offending Team
It was good to learn about the importance of return home interviews and how it should be held. I will use this to help my carers and children."
Social Worker - Sunbeam Fostering Agency
"Excellent seminar, very well presented and trainer remained positive and passionate througout. This SHOULD be delivered to all operational staff"
Police Officer - Merseyside Police
"I believe this type of training is imperative to front line officers and can only improve interaction between the police, missing people and their families. The innovative exercises that were used by the trainers as well as the content and supplemental videos used gave me personally a real understanding of the empathy required to work with these people effectively. Not only did it increase my understanding, it was also useful in giving another partner agency we can refer to the exposure needed for timely referrals by officers which will improve the service we provide as well as making difficult times for people affected that little bit easier."
