The legend of Lemmy ¿ hard-livingrock 'n' rollbass player, Jack-and-Coke aficionado, frontman for Motorhead since 1975 ¿ begins with his alleged expulsion from the Ysgol Syr Thomas Jones school in North Wales. The story is so irresistible ¿ the pupil formerly known as Ian Fraser Kilmister apparently retaliated after the headmaster hit him with a cane in the late '50s ¿ that the school's modern students giggle about it before covering Motorhead's classic "Ace of Spades" with a piano and full choir. The scene appears in a 2010 indie documentary called "Lemmy," in which an enthusiastic student pianist barks out the "win some, lose some, it's all the same to me" line from one of the best heavy-rock songs of all time ¿ as his classmates flash devil horns behind him. The same student turned up not long afterward at a Motorhead concert in North Wales. "I met that kid later," Kilmister recalls, in a phone interview from a Motorhead tour stop in Saratoga Springs, Fla. "It was funny. He was all right. We gave him a T-shirt."6:30 p.m. Friday at Aragon, 1106 W. Lawrence Ave.; $42; 773-561-9500 or jamusa.comRead the full Motorhead interview

Most of us are familiar with dental specialists such as orthodontists and periodontists, but there's another specialist that might not be so familiar - the prosthodontist. Prosthodontists are dentists who specialize in the repair and replacement of teeth. In addition to dental school, prosthodontists participate in another 2-3 years of specialized training. Prosthodontists want to make you look and feel your best. They do this by replacing broken or worn teeth or even the jaw bone with natural-looking substitutes (or prosthetics.) Missing teeth or a misshapen jaw can have a direct impact on a person's self-esteem. Prosthodontists understand this and work with the patient to restore the natural shape of the jaw and tooth structure.
Prosthodontists take a "whole mouth" approach to dental care and are at the forefront of cutting-edge procedures. They have the special skills needed to restore smiles to the best they can be. They don't just help your mouth look better, they help it feel better - both now and for years to come.
Prosthodontists care for a variety of patients, including people needing teeth and jaw replacement after oral cancer; cleft palette; children born with missing teeth; problems with the jaw's joints; and even snoring and sleep disorders.
Areas of expertise which prosthodontists may have are:
A healthy smile is extremely important, impacting a person's self-esteem and confidence. Cosmetic/esthetic dentistry procedures used to create that healthy smile include:
Another way prosthodontists create your perfect smile is by replacing lost teeth. The loss of natural teeth can be traumatic, affecting a person's outlook on life and turning simple pleasures into stressful experiences. Several options for lost teeth exist:
Dental implants are successful for a wide variety of patients. They look, feel, and function just like natural teeth and can replace one tooth or many. Dental implants are healthier for the mouth, preventing bone loss by keeping the jaw active. Once a lengthy process, dental implants are quicker and easier than ever before, now requiring just a few days rather than months to complete.
Prosthodontists have a unique understanding of the dynamics of a smile, the preservation of a healthy mouth and the creation of tooth replacement. Not sure whether you should seek out the specialized care of a prosthodontist? You should go to a Prosthodontist if you:
Prosthodontics is one of only nine recognized specialties of the American Dental Association.

"Though delayed for a while and later to market than most Mandriva fans would probably prefer, the new Mandriva Linux 2007 PowerPack Edition is finally here, nearly a year after the previous release. 2007 is typical Mandriva through and through: attractively themed in KDE, easy to install without skipping the technical details, a little bug-ridden here and there, and full of new and interesting software technologies. This release does have its own identity, though; not only has the standard theme been redesigned for the first time in several years, but this is the first Mandriva release to include a legal DVD movie player."

With the formal inauguration of the Painters Training Academy, PROCEED, Nippon Paint aims to train 100 painters by 2017.
Eco-friendly paint manufacturer Nippon Paint (India) recently launched the Nippon Paint Painters Training Academy. The academy is set up with the purpose to offer training in the areas of how paint is manufactured, customer engagement and the importance of safety, health and environment among the painter community. That said, the company has already trained painters in four batches at its plant in Sriperambudur near Chennai.
Although not directly a part of it, but Nippon Paint seeks to align with the vision of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) in providing skill development for painters in association with National Skill Development Centre.
The training programme at present takes place over the course of 10 days where the painter is educated on latest mechanisation to safety aspects to health parameters. The size of the batch is restricted to 10 so that personal attention and importance is given to each of them. In addition, efforts are also put in to better their existing skills. This training initiative, called PROCEED, involves developing the painter into a PRO (Professional), the intent being to create more skilled and customer-friendly professionals. CEED (Career, Education, Excellence and Development), on the other hand, is all about educating the painters with regard to their career such as paint basics, paint manufacturing, customer etiquettes and so on.
Speaking on the initiative, Mahesh Anand, President-Decoratives, Nippon Paint (India), says, ¨Our aim is to make painters in India excel in the field and be knowledgeable and updated with the current tools and techniques being used. This in turn will pave way for their development. As the intention was genuine, it pleased all the stakeholders involved and everything fell in place. The response has been overwhelming and there is an absolute transformation and a welcome change in the painters who have been trained till date. They are slowly adapting to a more professional approach. We are currently planning to expand this initiative to locations beyond Chennai as well.¨
On the successful completion of the training, every painter gets a certification from Nippon Paint in the form of a completion certificate.
Special Effect Paint
Nippon Paint has launched ´Momento´ a new range of special effect paint. The company has partnered with NIFT, Chennai to create design patterns using the special effect paint. Two levels of contest were conducted and NIFT students were provided with the entire Momento range from Nippon to create their own designs. Having received over 75 entries, the company shortlisted nine patterns under the Momento brand. Momento comes in three variants: Elegant, Enhancer and Dzine.
Mahesh Anand, President-Decoratives, Nippon Paint (India), says, ¨Partnering with NIFT Chennai has definitely proved beneficial to us. The students come with interesting, fresh ideas.¨ To this, Dr Anita Mabel Manohar, Director, NIFT, adds, ¨Nippon Paint provided our students with a great platform to be able to demonstrate their design abilities. This hereby symbolises what NIFT stands for: Design and innovation can be displayed in all forms û be it cloths or walls.¨

BITCHY Craig Revel Horwood last night threatened to quit Strictly Come Dancing.
They can get rid of me if they want. I wouldn't mind taking a year off
The choreographer, 47, said he would be happy to pack in his judging role after nine years on the show.
Craig also claimed Strictly's judging line-up is better without Alesha Dixon on the panel.
He vowed to reignite his on-air feud with mouthy dancer James Jordan.
And he claimed "grotesque" X Factor depends on joke acts to boost ratings.
Craig is Strictly's most talked-about judge and helps the show regularly top ten million viewers.
But revealing he might walk out, Craig said: "My real job is choreographing and directing – Strictly is my Saturday job.
"So I wouldn't mind not judging at all. They can get rid of me if they want. I wouldn't mind taking a year off from being a judge."
Craig has been on the panel alongside Bruno Tonioli, 56, and Len Goodman, 68, since the BBC1 show launched in 2004.
This year saw ballerina Darcey Bussell, 43, join them after pop star Alesha Dixon, 34, quit for Britain's Got Talent.
Craig said he prefers the show without Alesha and added: "What's great about the panel now is that every single person on it has devoted their life to dance.
"There are no gimmicks any more. We've all been passionate about dance our whole lives and that's what qualifies us to be judges. Darcey is just fantastic."
In the past, Craig has repeatedly clashed with dancer James, 34, who this series is partnering Denise Van Outen, 38.
Last year their feud hit an all-time low after Craig axed James from the show's arena tour.
Refusing to bury the hatchet this year, Craig warned: "We are getting on better than we have in the past but it will only take one false move on James' behalf and it could all kick off."
Strictly is regularly thrashing ITV1 rival X Factor this year to become Britain's most-watched show on Saturday and Sunday nights.
Craig said: "We don't need controversy like X Factor does. Strictly is a quality product and it's a very classy event.
"It adds a bit of glamour rather than the grotesque."
X Factor's judges have been rapped by fans for saving wannabe Rylan Clark, 24, over more talented singers.
Craig added: "We don't have a novelty act. We don't need anyone like Rylan."
He also claimed he could save X Factor, which last week dipped to just seven million viewers.
He said: "If Simon Cowell offered me £5million I could give him advice that could save it. That's hardly expensive – he probably spends that on the judges."

The euro rallied to a near seven-week high against the dollar Tuesday after Greece announced better-than-expected terms for its debt buyback, fueling optimism Athens will continue to receive international aid to avoid a default.
The U.S. dollar remained pressured against most major currencies as uncertainty persisted over whether Republicans would reach a deal to prevent spending cuts and tax increases that could push the U.S. economy back into recession.
But the good news came from Greece, which said it would spend 10 billion euros to buy back bonds at a price range that topped market expectations. The news helped push Italian and Spanish bond yields lower.
The buyback is part of a deal reached last week by Greece's international lenders to cut its debt and needs to be completed before the IMF can release its share of the aid.
"There's some optimism around the Greek buyback," said Eric Viloria, senior currency strategist at Forex.com in New York. "That's seen as sort of the last major risk event for some time. Technically, it looks like (the euro) does have some more room to the upside."
The euro rose 0.3 percent to $1.3092, having risen as high as $1.3107, the strongest since Oct. 18. Further chart resistance is located at the October high around $1.3140 and the September high around $1.3170.
Some US$5.1 billion in euros had already changed hands on Tuesday with a few hours left in New York trade compared with $4.68 billion during the entire global trading day on Monday, according to Reuters Dealing data.
"The market is taking a fairly optimistic view that we will see a smooth implementation of these (Greek) plans," said Ian Stannard, head of European FX strategy at Morgan Stanley in London.
He expected the euro to hold firm until the end of the year but warned it could come under selling pressure in 2013 due to the deterioration in the broader euro zone economy.
Morgan Stanley recommended clients enter a long euro/dollar position at $1.3050, with a target of $1.34.
Worries over efforts to avert the U.S. "fiscal cliff" hobbled the dollar despite its reputation as a refuge in times of uncertainty. Analysts said the dollar had stayed weak because of relatively positive developments in the euro zone.
The White House dismissed Republican proposals for steep spending cuts late on Monday, heightening concern lawmakers will not reach a deal in time to avert $600 billion in automatic budget measures due in early 2013.
"At the moment the market is ... likely expecting a last-minute fudge maybe with some delays and some temporary measures to tide them over to next year," Morgan Stanley's Stannard said.
Central Bank Decisions
The Canadian dollar rose against the U.S. dollar after the Bank of Canada held interest rates steady and kept its rate rise bias. The U.S. dollar fell 0.2 percent at C$0.9926.
The Reserve Bank of Australia cut its main cash rate to 3.0 percent, bringing the easing since May to 125 basis points and matching the trough hit during the darkest days of the global financial crisis.
But the Australian dollar rallied 0.5 percent to $1.0470 as traders said the rate cut was well discounted. Some had speculated a bigger 50-basis-point cut.
"Although the yield on the Aussie continues to contract, (it) still carries the highest rate in the industrialized world and as such will likely remain bid," Boris Schlossberg, managing director of FX Strategy at BK Asset Management in New York, wrote to clients.
The Swiss franc weakened, extending Monday's fall when Switzerland's largest banks said they would charge for some franc deposits. This pushed the euro to its highest since mid-September. The euro was last up 0.4 percent at 1.2128 francs.
The dollar shed 0.6 percent to 81.78 yen, further retreating from a 7 1/2-month high of 82.82 hit last month.
The yen has recovered from a recent slide sparked by the prospect of more monetary easing by the Bank of Japan after a Dec. 16 election. Some investors said there may be little scope for further falls.
"We saw an incredible amount of yen weakness in November, and this is running out of steam simply because we don't see any additional news flows out of Japan," said Ulrich Leuchtmann, head of FX research at Commerzbank.

29 July 2011
Friday Night Nerd
In addition to being nerdy and uptight, I was also not terribly self-aware. I had plenty of emotions, but few tools for expressing them. I certainly didn't have any conscious awareness of treating myself with kindness. And yet, despite that, I paid myself a weekly kindness throughout college: No Work Fridays.
Friday was the night I never did homework and never studied. I'm sure I made exceptions during finals week and such, but for the most part, I gave myself the luxury of not putting any pressure whatsoever on myself when Friday rolled around. I had no guilt about getting $5 out of the ATM (yes, the ATM gave out money in $5 increments back in ye olden days of my undergraduate years) and spending it all in one place, watching a G-rated movie (or an R-rated movie; I was 18 and all), going to bed early, or reading a book for pleasure. I loved Fridays, not necessarily for the actual activity I engaged in, but for the total letting go of responsibility and mental freedom that I gave myself by putting everything aside once a week.
I thought about No Work Fridays today when I was out to lunch with my mom. I announced to her that after the kids went to bed, I was going to do nothing. Just relax. Maybe watch some TV, maybe read, maybe take a bath. Maybe all three. But I wasn't going to do chores or putter around the house or anything that might be considered vaguely productive. Oh, no. I was going to take the night off.
How did that work out for me? I've had a great evening, but I haven't exactly taken the evening off. I finished touching up the living room paint job that friends helped me complete earlier in the week, put the furniture back where it belongs in that room, unpacked some boxes, cleaned up the painting supplies, cleaned up from dinner, set the timer on the coffee maker, talked myself out of doing a load of laundry, and broke down some boxes. Now, at 9:30 p.m., I 've made myself a drink, eaten some salad, and I'm about to get down to the real relaxing. We'll see how long I last before going to sleep.
I was very aware as I was futzing around that I wasn't relaxing as I had planned. I thought about those Friday nights in college, and I thought about how surprising it was that I somehow knew to be kind to myself and to take the pressure off on a regular basis. And I thought about how I'd like to start doing that again. I have a suspicion, though, that No Work Fridays look a lot different at 39 than they did at 18**. While I was working away tonight, part of me wanted to just put it aside, go upstairs, and gear up Netflix Instant. It wasn't guilt or a feeling of obligation that kept me from doing that, though. There was a bigger part of me that is so in love with my house that it doesn't feel like work, exactly, to do things like paint and make the living room feel settled. That kind of "work," which would certainly have sounded like real work to me when I was a student, is now more like indulging a hobby.
What I need and want now are No Stress Fridays. For the part of the evening that I spend with Maddie and Riley, we already have a good no-stress routine in place: Fridays are always pizza and movie night. No one has to make decisions about dinner (or cook it), and the movie allows for some coveted screen time to be combined with snuggle time. Once they are in bed, it's time to make Fridays into the day when I do what I want to do around the house, be that take care of some house-related task or soak in the tub for three hours. It's time to get back to taking the pressure off myself and to stop thinking about all the Shoulds. It's gotten so hard for me to do that, but it's important. The world will not stop spinning if I don't make the grocery list tonight. Nothing bad will happen—in fact, good things might happen!—if I allow myself to do what I want one night a week.
And on that note, Netflix Instant awaits.
*In graduate school, we did a learning style/personality type test that revealed that I am successful at most things I do due to dogged determination. I just work as hard as I have to in order to succeed. I am not always, or even often, the smartest, fastest, most capable, etc., but I am almost always the most determined. My college study habits are testament to this.
**I was out clothes shopping today and noted that even though my weight is pretty much what it was in college, my ass sure looks a lot different at this age, too.

It's always difficult to let go of the "shoulds", particularly when the should-do list is never ending. It's so valuable to have completely relaxing and carefree time though. I'm looking forward to a few hours of that tomorrow morning before the weekend's work begins.

Love this. And -- my kiddo is the same age as Maddie and Riley. She's really, really sensitive to anything "scary" in movies (which is actually very hard to predict - she loves Mary Poppins, can't handle Milo & Otis). What are your movie go-tos? We have the same Friday night ritual, but I'm out of ideas. In fact, we might change it to game night if I can't come up with something beyond Pocoyo -- so if you have good 5-year-old board game recs, I'm all ears.

I love that you gave yourself Fridays off in college. I did the same from sunset to sunset Saturday to Sunday. Basically created my own Sabbath tradition.
As for putzing around the house as a fun activity, I TOTALLY relate to that. In fact, it's hard to keep myself motivated to do work when what I really want to do is clean and organize other rooms. I haven't even used the jetted tub yet cause there's so much I want to get done. Plus, that feels like a big time/water commitment and I need a good novel to read.

Oh wow, I had "no work Fridays" as well at my really demanding college and it made a world of difference to my sanity if not my GPA.
Found you through CityMama's post today, and remember you from old AskMoxie posts. Sounds like you might be local, too. :)
@Amanda - I found several board games at Target for younger kids that looked interesting.

I hadn't given it much thought until this comment. But it does make you think with all the changes taking place in Apples management. Not just playing musical chairs but people leaving and rumors of firings. As far as the mojo thing...I think Apple is still in the game and just waiting until the right moment to hit the market with the next big thing. Although the last introduction of revamped products may have been too many at once. The Apple I know or knew seemed to be more interested in quality versus quantity. Not to say that the knew products are bad. I think Wall Street has a tendency to over react or raise the bar too high at times. That type of cowboy financial analysis not only affects Apple but triggers negative reactions ( domino effect) in other areas of the economy. So maybe it's Wall Street that's lost it's mojo thing?
Before I begin to elaborate on the title let me state that I am an Apple product enthusiast. My meager collection of Apple products consists of a 17" MacBook Pro (early 2011), a 27" iMac (late 2009), 1st and 3rd Generation iPads, two iPod Touches, two Time Capsules, 1st and 2nd Generation Airport Expresses, two 3rd Generation Apple TV's, iCloud storage and I use iTunes match! OK....I don't yet have an iPhone...so sue me. At the moment I'm debating whether or not to buy the iPhone 5 or wait until the next iteration to give Apple time to fix it's maps app and maybe include some other nice-to-have features like NFC (sweet).
So, why do I ask...Has Apple Lost Its MoJo? Recently, while cruising the CNET site I ran across several interesting articles. One by Charles Cooper, an executive editor at CNET News discussing the recent drop in Apple Stock. Another by Greg Sandoval who covers digital entertainment for CNET who commented on an interview of David Sobotta, former director of Apple's federal group by Readwrite.com wherein Sobotta allegedly questions Tim Cooks leadership style and dubbed him a tech "lightweight". In an article by Steven Musil, night news editor at CNET News he cites quotes by Jeffrey Gundlach, CEO and co-founder of investment firm Double Capital as having told CNBC that Apple shares may drop to $425. However, on the brighter side Oppenheimer & Co., analyst Lttai Kidron believes that the pounding that Apple stock has taken is over done and the stock will bounce back, this from an article by Roger Cheng, an executive editor for CNET News.
Lot's of negative press lately about the Wunderkind-Corp Apple. We all know that Apple is the master of fanfare and mystique when it comes to a product launch. No one does it better. But I wonder as consumers have we come to the point that we expect any major revolution in tech entertainment products and/or productivity to bear an Apple logo.
The last revolutionary product from Apple was the iPad. New iterations of the iPhone, iPod Touch and siblings, as well as Apple TV have all been evolutionary. By that I mean they are basically the same products that essentially do the same thing as their predecessors, but only better. The last two unveilings of the iPhone after much fanfare were followed by "antenna gate" and the most recent in the form of the iPhone 5 has major problems with its Apple branded "maps'" feature. So much so that Tim Cook made an apology and of all things recommended an alternative competing platform (that shall go nameless - but it starts with "G")!
I must admit the Retina Display that first appeared in the iPhone was revolutionary and required some amazing technology to make it work. However, the inclusion of the Retina Display in the iPad and of late the MacBook Pro line IMO is no more than what one would expect. Start small (iPhone) then after a few teaks go large (MacBook Pro). Recently, Apple put the iMac on a much needed weight loss program. But isn't every manufacturer finding ways to cut the fat and go lean and mean. So when the next Retina Display appears in the iMac will that be revolutionary or evolutionary? You make the call.
I do believe that Apple will introduce another revolutionary product that will rock the tech industry. Let's not forget that Apple is still in it's infancy when compared to also-ran tech giants like Sony and HP and will not turn 40 until 2016!
The Apple design pipeline I would suspect is a treasure trove of exciting things to come. However, until then Apple needs to find away to stay relevant but ease the pressure of having every product advancement that it unveils being viewed as the next technological planet buster. I still don't get all the hoopla over the iPad mini. Sure it's small and light weight but from a capitalization point of view it's what Apple had to do in order to fill a competitive gap. Frankly, I'm still a little miffed that my 3rd Generation iPad is now old news after only 6 months! As Brian Tong would say....BADDDDD APPLE!
So, I ask you again...Has Apple Lost Its MoJo...or is that we expect too much in too short a span of time from the this tech juggernaut? Not to tick anyone off...but...just look at how long it took Microsoft to develop Windows 8. I'm just say'n....
What are your thoughts? Lets hear 'em!

The Auburn women's basketball team fell to No. 11/10 Tennessee, 83-61, Thursday at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Tigers fell to 14-12 (3-10 SEC), while the Lady Vols improved to 21-5 (12-1 SEC). Tyrese Tanner led the Tigers with 20 points and four steals in the loss.
"We didn't look very controlled," Auburn head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said. "We looked panicked a little bit. I thought we got composure and came out and played better in the second half."
Unfortunately for Auburn, the damage done in the opening half would be too much for the Tigers to overcome. Tennessee jumped out to a 44-21 lead at the half on 16-of-32 shooting from the floor, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. Meighan Simmons led the Lady Vols in scoring, as 13 of her 24 points came in the first half.
"I think Meighan Simmons is a great player," Williams-Flournoy said. "When Meighan Simmons plays defense, she becomes an even better player because we already know how good she is offensively. I thought she did a really good job defensively defending the point guard."
The Tigers hit just 9-of-26 from the floor in the opening half, while the Lady Vols utilized a 19-2 run to start the game and limited Auburn to just one made field goal in the opening six minutes. The margin would be too much for the Tigers to overcome, as they never got closer than 14 points throughout the half.
Auburn was able to find the basket in the second half, shooting 44 percent from the floor and outscoring the Lady Vols 40-39, but couldn't make up enough ground to get the win.
The Tigers spent their third-consecutive game without starting point guard Najat Ouardad, who remains out with an injury. Hasina Muhammad led Auburn at the top for the second-consecutive game, finishing with six points and two assists.
"We have Hasina at the point," Williams-Flournoy said. "You have Blanche (Alverson) at the three. That's not our normal starters that we've had throughout the year consistently. Whenever there's a change, there's a disruption that happens. We'll get our starters back for Sunday."
Tyrese Tanner led the charge for Auburn with her third 20-point game of the season, posting 20 points, four steals and two blocks in the effort. Blanche Alverson added 15 points, while freshman Chadarryl Clay came off the bench to notch 10 points, including 3-of-7 shooting from 3-point range. Peyton Davis and Cabriana Capers led the Tigers on the boards with five each.
Auburn returns to action Sunday as it hosts Missouri at 2 p.m. CT from Auburn Arena. The game is a Ballin' For Books event with fans encouraged to donate childrens' books to senior Blanche Alverson's community service project. Collection bins will be placed at all Auburn Arena entrances prior to the game, as well as the men's March 2 game against Vanderbilt and the women's March 3 regular-season finale against Mississippi State.

Wrapped in his brown abaya, Sheik Sayak Kumait al-Asadi, a spokesman in Baghdad for the revered Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, is angry and forceful when speaking of both the US occupation and the suffering of the Shiites under the regime of Saddam Hussein. Above him hangs an ornately framed poster of Sistani.
The spokesman's point is clear: After decades of repression, now is the time for the Shiites to have power, no matter the price. "Most of the Sunnis are accepted by us, but there are those among them who don't want the Shia in the government, nor the Kurds. Some Sunnis will either kill us or make us slaves. We accept these elections now," says Asadi, pulling the abaya close over his shoulders. "But many Shias and Kurds believe dividing the country is the only real solution."
After all, the Shiites suffered horribly under the reign of the deposed dictator. Among the highly prominent Shiite ayatollahs killed by Saddam's men were the revered Mohammed Bakr Sadr, executed with his sister in 1980, and his cousin Mohammed Sadiq Sadr (the father of Muqtada al-Sadr), who was assassinated in 1999.
But Shiite loathing of the Sunni elite that oppressed them under Saddam does not translate into sympathy for the US occupiers. "We cannot push the Shia to accept any of the Westerners in our country," Asadi says while leaning forward for emphasis, "because they are the tail of the American snake."
With Shiite domination in the National Assembly, they will have much power in writing Iraq's new constitution. Will this lopsided dynamic provoke a violent reaction from the Sunni-dominated insurgency? If it does, will the Shiite militias, like the Badr Organization, the armed wing of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), strike back, igniting a civil war?
When examining the statements of some political and religious leaders from both communities, one gets the sense that civil war is indeed imminent. Sheik Asadi's venom toward the Sunnis is matched by that of some of his Sunni counterparts toward the Shiites. But Western media outlets, focusing on the sensational, have played up the potential for civil war, muting the voices of Sunni and Shiite leaders who are skeptical of such predictions and united against partition. And on the ground, Sunnis and Shiites are much more intertwined by bonds of tribal affiliation and family than is commonly understood in the United States. Descend from the politically charged worlds of the Shiite imams, Sunni sheiks and mainstream media to the realm of everyday people, and the danger of civil war seems more remote.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A 6-ton NASA satellite on a collision course with Earth clung to space Friday, apparently flipping position in its ever-lower orbit and stalling its death plunge.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A 6-ton NASA satellite on a collision course with Earth clung to space Friday, apparently flipping position in its ever-lower orbit and stalling its death plunge.
The old research spacecraft was targeted to crash through the atmosphere sometime Friday night or early Saturday morning, putting the U.S. back in the potential crosshairs, although most of the satellite should burn up during re-entry.
"It just doesn't want to come down," said Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
McDowell said the satellite's delayed demise demonstrates how unreliable predictions can be. That said, "the best guess is that it will still splash in the ocean, just because there's more ocean out there."
Until Friday, increased solar activity was causing the atmosphere to expand and the 35-foot satellite to free fall more quickly. But late Friday morning, NASA said the sun was no longer the major factor in the rate of descent and that the satellite's position, shape or both had changed by the time it slipped down to a 100-mile orbit.
"In the last 24 hours, something has happened to the spacecraft," said NASA orbital debris scientist Mark Matney.
NASA cautioned there was now a slim chance any surviving debris would land in the United States. Earlier this week, NASA said North America would be in the clear.
"It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any certainty," NASA said in a statement.
The Aerospace Corp., which tracks space debris, estimates the strike will happen sometime between about 6 p.m. and 4 a.m. EDT, which would make a huge difference in where the debris might wind up. Those late-night, early morning passes show the satellite flying over parts of the United States.
Any surviving wreckage is expected to be limited to a 500-mile swath.
The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, will be the biggest NASA spacecraft to crash back to Earth, uncontrolled, since the post-Apollo 75-ton Skylab space station and the more than 10-ton Pegasus 2 satellite, both in 1979.
Russia's 135-ton Mir space station slammed through the atmosphere in 2001, but it was a controlled dive into the Pacific.
Some 26 pieces of the UARS satellite — representing 1,200 pounds of heavy metal — are expected to rain down somewhere. The biggest surviving chunk should be no more than 300 pounds.
Earthlings can take comfort in the fact that no one has ever been hurt by falling space junk — to anyone's knowledge — and there has been no serious property damage. NASA put the chances that somebody somewhere on Earth would get hurt at 1-in-3,200. But any one person's odds of being struck were estimated at 1-in-22 trillion, given there are 7 billion people on the planet.
"Keep in mind that we have bits of debris re-entering the atmosphere every single day," Matney said in brief remarks broadcast on NASA TV.
In any case, finders definitely aren't keepers.
Any surviving wreckage belongs to NASA, and it is against the law to keep or sell even the smallest piece. There are no toxic chemicals on board, but sharp edges could be dangerous, so the space agency is warning the public to keep hands off and call police.
The $740 million UARS was launched in 1991 from space shuttle Discovery to study the atmosphere and the ozone layer. At the time, the rules weren't as firm for safe satellite disposal; now a spacecraft must be built to burn up upon re-entry or have a motor to propel it into a much higher, long-term orbit.
NASA shut UARS down in 2005 after lowering its orbit to hurry its end. A potential satellite-retrieval mission was ruled out following the 2003 shuttle Columbia disaster, and NASA did not want the satellite hanging around orbit posing a debris hazard.
Space junk is a growing problem in low-Earth orbit. More than 20,000 pieces of debris, at least 4 inches in diameter, are being tracked on a daily basis. These objects pose a serious threat to the International Space Station.

Baltimore, Md. - Joseph Wiley, M.D., chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at the Herman and Walter Samuelson Children's Hospital at Sinai has been awarded the Pediatrician of the Year by the Maryland Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He was chosen for the academy's highest honor because he exemplified the ideals of pediatrics through outstanding contributions to child health and professional pediatrics in Maryland.
"We are proud of Dr. Wiley's accomplishments and his leadership in the pediatrics community," said Amy Perry, president of Sinai Hospital. "He has helped to truly define patient- and family-centered care in the new Samuelson Children's Hospital."
Wiley has been a respected member of the pediatrics community for the past 31 years. He joined Sinai Hospital in 2000 as the division chief of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology and became chairman of the Department of Pediatrics in 2001. He has served as program director and assistant program director for the residency training program at Sinai Hospital. He is a member of numerous hospital committees and is also a member of many national and international pediatric societies. He has been active in clinical research in pediatric hematology-oncology with more than 50 publications and an equal number of abstracts. He is best known for his work in supportive care and infections in cancer patients, particularly fungal infections.
Over the last seven years, Wiley headed the fundraising activities as well as the design processes that led to the construction of a state-of-the-art pediatric inpatient unit, which opened its doors in March 2012. This facility helped to support the new era of patient- and family-centered facilities that put the patient at the center of the inpatient experience. Wiley continues to actively engage in clinical care, teaching residents and students, and mentoring emerging leaders in the LifeBridge Health system.
He received the award on October 5 during the annual awards ceremony.

The problem is that if they send her far away, it would be more troublesome for them to actually track every little incidents she might create.
Even if they try to distance her from their name, any trouble caused by her might attract the attention (who knows if Haruka flees from her host, perform some vandalism etc, and that would involve the police, leading to an investigation).
They don't want her to tarnish their name, and the best way for that is to keep an eye on her, which is more practical if they are around. This is also why spies and Kanata herself also serve as proxy for them when Haruka is messing things up.

I think the idea behind the posters was to turn Haruka into a virtual non-entity through social ostracization (i.e. all of her fellow students now shunning her due to Haruka being the known daughter of a deadbeat criminal). The hope was probably that it would turn Haruka into a shamed and reclusive Mio-esque person (the Mio prior to her meeting Riki). That means a less problematic Haruka which makes life easier for the rest of the family.
Absolutely cold and brutal, but it makes some sense to me.

From I'm gathering from this discussion, it appears to me that the one in need of saving the most right now might be Kanata, and not Haruka. Haruka has already managed to escape from the family's clutches (though not completely) whereas Kanata is still suffering abuse. I hope Riki will find a way to save them both. Neither of them deserve this mistreatment. Kud will probably play a key role, since she is the only one at the moment who is aware of Kanata's situation. If Haruka learned the truth, the way she views her sister would immediately change.

I'm liking Haruka's adaptation a lot. IMO J.C. has always excelled at dramas with "screaming heads", where the drama label is accredited to the characters arguing and yelling at each other. As opposed to the usual key formula of MC getting a heroine over a past issue or tragedy without the bickering and through more subtle and unexpected means. Usually involving lots of consideration and unique wisdom on the MC's part.
The latter of which I usually find very artistic and beautiful, when Kyoani does it. When J.C. does it, there seems to be something missing. But in Haruka's route, the plot moves along real nicely because there's a lot more outspoken dialogue to move things along and make the episode extra angsty. J.C, you good at being angsty.

if I understand it right,fraternal twin isn't identical twin,they're just half sibling born at the same time. So the two should just only look like each other like normal sister,but in this case they look so much like each other,Kanata only need to change her hair style to look exactly like Haruka.
Even the bust size is only 1cm different.
As for why Kanata is surprised when Riki mentioned the cake.I assumed it's Kanata just about to ask "What cake from last time?" but then she saw Haruka b4 finished her question.
So maybe she was surprised because of Haruka's sudden appearance rather than the cake part.

And yes I agree, I'm quite surprised (disappointed?) that Kanata and Haruka look so alike despite having different dads. Maybe the anime will show the other father to look a lot like Shou Saigusa, so that would explain it somewhat.
I was thinking Kanata's surprise came from seeing Haruka right behind Riki as well. That's also why she bent down so quickly and revealed herself so quickly, since the jig would be up anyway as soon as Haruka yelled out or Riki turned around.

The fact they look so much alike would lead nicely into such a plot twist, imo.
But really, Kanata successfully mimicking Haruka's appearance is less impressive to me than Kanata so completely capturing Haruka's mannerisms and voice, as the two have very different mannerisms and voices.

So this, or what it has been said and they are from different dads. I gotta keep watching the anime so I can find out!

Considering how much they look alike, I would have thought that they both actually having the same father would be where the story leads, unless the two fathers themselves were identical twins. As for Shou himself, he probably has a very strong and possibly even noble reason for arson and attempted murder, because it would make no sense for a family that cares so much about their honor not to vet husband candidates.

Gotcha, Kudryavka.
One good thing for Haruka - As much as she was clearly freaked out by Kanata's acting performance here, there's an old saying that should comfort her: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
For Kanata to pull off "Haruka" so well, Kanata is clearly paying very close attention to her sister. You don't play-act as someone unless you find it amusing to do so. At some level, Kanata must like Haruka, or she couldn't have pulled off what she did here.

Haruka had always thought that Kanata as the heir has it all good even though in reality it's not. As a result, Haruka have probably never really thought about how Kanata really feels and think that Kanata does not care about her at all. It seems that in truth, Kanata really does care for Haruka and perhaps her actions from the beginning till now is only an act to protect Haruka. It's some what clear when Kanata tells that old lady that "this is too much" only to be viciously slapped after wards. Kanata's bruised back also speaks a lot.
It's already clear that Kanata is not an evil person. She's willing to help people in need like in Kud's case. However regarding Haruka, it's much more complex so she might actually trying to help Haruka but in a different way. Unfortunately Haruka does not seem to know and her pranks are ways for her to get back at the seemingly evil Kanata. Basically Kanata seems to be plaing the bad guy.

To try to capture why I loved the cliffhanger of this episode so much, I decided to mess around with the final minute of the episode with different added audio. I eventually went with what's in the spoiler space below. It's pretty amateurish, but I thought somebody here might be amused by it, at least.

Even without an abusive background, you might start feeling like you are a spare. Especially if your twin was not only better than you in most aspects, she could also imitate you so well that your circle of friends can't tell right away. Even if both of them were raised in a loving, and less screwed up family background, to Haruka, Kanata's whole performance seems to be a message that Haruka is essentially surplus.
Your twin can imitate your voice, your personality, your looks, till your circle of friends who affirmed your value could not catch on. Not only that, apparently, there's nothing you can do that she can't do better.
Like Mio and Midori- but while Midori is an idealization, Kanata is very, very real. I think the juxtaposition of Imaginary Twin, followed by Real Twins is a very deliberate choice on the part of the animators. In-fact, I'd argue that Kanata, pardon me for using that word, is a deconstruction of the concept of Midori. A good writer would probably have drawn that link even further by wondering what Mio would make of all of this, if Mio made such a connection.
Add all the other circumstances on-top of it, and if Haruka shows signs of entertaining suicidal sentiments, I would most definitely not be surprised. Being told, then being shown that you are surplus makes such an outcome extremely likely.
Also, I've just noticed the prevalent theme of Siblinghood here in the first three routes, at least.
Komari - Dead Brother.
Mio - Imaginary Twin Sister who is your idealized personality.
Haruka - A Real Twin Sister that Out Specs you in everything.
Kud - ?
Kurugaya - ?
Rin - Kyousuke and Rin's relationship, something not really shown much of so far.

Okay, I'll skip the long speculahs so that mine doesn't end up "tainted".
Kanata continues to be a bitch, and Haruka continues to receive Kanata's hate.
However, the doubts with Haruka and Kanata's identity start to surface.
I think my speculah has been officially "tainted" already. D:
We have the "desert and oasis" chiffon cake. Haruka told Riki that she is a master of egg cuisine, and that involves chiffon cakes, but hers is as dry as Sahara sand. However, Kanata's is plump and moist.
Then, we have Kud's reaction with seeing Kanata in the nude after taking a shower.
The "chiffon cake" issue is probably the most striking scene that gives this story arc some depth. This makes it possible that Kanata is actually Haruka and vice versa.
However, when did the switch happen? And did the two know about this switch?
My speculation:
There were two fathers to the Saigusa bloodline. However, we only knew that two girls came out of the Saigusa mother's womb. It is not revealed if both of them were from a single father and are, in fact, true twins.
Then we head to the switch. Sometime in the past, Haruka and Kanata might have switched roles, and their similar appearance makes the switch almost flawless. However, one of them eventually regretted making the switch, and is now focusing her hate over the other. (Also, take note that the Futaki family now owns the Saigusa family.) Now, the question is: which of them is Haruka and which of them is Kanata?
Well crap, my head is really spinning around from all of this.

Seems fitting since Kanata totally assimilated Haruka's appearance, mannerisms, and voice here. Also since this scene makes me think that Kanata wants to assimilate Riki in a very different way...

In any criminal or traffic case a defendant has certain basic post-trial rights according to Maryland Law. All of motions for post-trial relief (requesting a change in the outcome of your case) have time limit deadlines and must be done in writing. The following is a brief summary of these rights:
MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL – Pursuant to the Maryland Rules of Procedure you have ten (10) days to file a Motion for a New Trial from the time that you plead guilty or are found guilty by the Court. This date starts the day of the guilty finding and expires at the end of the tenth (10 th ) day. If you do not file a Motion with the Court in writing pursuant to the Rules you will be forever barred from requesting same. A new trial request may include any legal or factual issues relevant to requesting a new trial.MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL
APPEAL – You have the absolute right to appeal your case to the next appellate level within thirty (30) days of the date of your sentencing. Failure to do so in writing will forever bar you from filing same. If you appeal a Maryland District Court criminal case, you get a Trial De Novo (new trial) in Circuit Court. If you tried the case in Circuit Court either by judge or jury then you can appeal the case based on a factual basis, legal issues or a combination of both that you believe may of violated any law, your constitutional rights and/or procedural matters. If you were granted Probation Before Judgment, you have waived your right to appeal as there is no conviction to appeal.APPEAL
MOTION FOR MODIFICATION – You have the absolute right to file a petition for a modification of your sentence within ninety (90) days from the date of the sentence. Failure to do so will preclude you from filing or having your sentence modified at a later time. You may also request that any probationary issues be modified thereto. In some cases you are able to modify "probationary issues" after the ninety (90) day time period. However, you should not assume that and ultimately, it is at the discretion of the Court.MOTION FOR MODIFICATION
3 JUDGE PANEL – In some circumstances you have the right to request a 3 Judge Panel in the Circuit Court only. The Judges may reduce, keep the sentence and conditions the same or modify your sentence. This must be filed within thirty (30) days in writing to the Court.3 JUDGE PANEL
OTHER POST TRIAL RIGHTS – Depending upon your case you may have other post-trial rights pursuant to Maryland law. This list is not a total complete list but only to advise that these and others exist. As stated above you should not hesitate because an untimely motion may disqualify you. TBHE criminal attorneys are experienced in handling post-trial criminal and traffic matters.

One of the most popular kindsof engineering degree. Environmental Engineering involves the study of science and engineering to improve our environment. This includes the air we breathe, food we consume, and water. Environmental Engineers also study the environmental impact humans have on the planet, including pollution as a result of development and manufacturing processes. Environmental Engineering is considered a subset of Civil Engineering.
A Materials Science engineering degree is a study of materials and why they behave a specific way or react to things in a certain way. This includes plastics, ceramics and polymers. Everything around us is made up of materials, as we evolve there is an increasing demand for materials which are stronger, more environmentally friendly and lighter. Employment opportunities include research positions along with industry placements. Materials Science Engineering is a very hands on, practical degree and graduates are in high demand.
An Agricultural engineering degree involves learning how to apply engineering to the agricultural industry to assist with area of farming including: soil conservation and salinity, ground preparation, irrigation, farm machinery design and production and helping develop more effective harvest techniques. Employment generally involves working in a consulting capacity or employed in a related industry such as machinery design and production.
Paper Engineering is a specialization of chemical engineering and involves understanding the processes involved (chemical and mechanical) of paper production. This type of degree involves both research based work and practical assessment which is typically lab work. Students learn the principles behind molecular science, wood pulping and fluid mechanics to name just a few.
Sustainable engineering takes into account the three major areas of sustainability: environmental impact, social and economic considerations. This includes not only the initial construction process but the complete life cycle of the product being developed. Graduates may complete further post graduate study or work in industries such as: Industrial waste water management, emission control and hazardous waste management.

An occurrence in J.F. Gregory Park last month has led Richmond Hill police to charge a U.S. Army major with enticing a minor for indecent purposes stemming from a 2011 incident.
"Last year we had some young girls state that a guy pulled up to them and solicited for ... improper things," Richmond Hill police chief Billy Reynolds said. "They gave a description of the vehicle. One of them gave us a tag number but she was off on the number and had the wrong state.
"We looked into it but nothing came up on it. Then the incident here in the park happens. But those ladies got the tag number. That's how we started tracking back to this guy. The vehicle description matched and the tag matched to the Richmond Place incident."
On April 5, Maj. Thomas Eric Laver surrendered to Richmond Hill police and was charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency and solicitation of sodomy, as well as the enticing charge.
According to Richmond Hill Police Detective Dana Strickland, Laver approached a 14-year-old girl on three occasions between July 2011 and Feb. 2012 in or near the Richmond Place subdivision, made lewd comments and asked her to have sex with him.
Then, on March 26 of this year, Laver allegedly approached two women in J.F. Gregory Park and asked if either of the ladies was in need of sex, and continued to use vulgar and obscene language in describing details about the sex acts he wanted to perform with them.
According to the women, this occurred in front of a group of 5- and 6-year-old Daisy Scouts they were supervising in the park.
Officer Michael Williams said in his report one of the Scout leaders told him the man was driving a white Chevrolet Trailblazer with an unknown tag number.
The following day, RHPD Cpl. Tim Saia spoke to the same woman, who told him the vehicle's tag appeared to be from Illinois and what she thought was the tag number. She also tentatively identified Laver.
Saia then discovered Laver owned a white Chevrolet Trailblazer with Illinois tags.
When Strickland took over the case, he read Saia's report on the incident and noticed the suspect drove a white SUV with Illinois tags and remembered that a suspect in the incidents with the 14-year-old was also reported to be driving a white SUV.
Meanwhile, one of the Scout leaders posted a warning for others to be cautious of a man in a white Chevrolet Trailblazer who was approaching women and making lewd comments. The woman said she immediately began getting responses from others who had similar experiences. One of them contacted Strickland and told him the man described sounded like a person who worked with her husband at Fort Stewart and gave the detective Laver's name.
On March 28, Strickland arranged for the 14-year-old girl to look at a photo line up which included Laver's driver's license photo. According to Strickland, the girl looked at the photos for about 30 seconds before picking out Laver.
On April 2, a man who identified himself as a co-worker of Laver's told Strickland of a similar incident he said occurred in the parking lot of Food Lion on Dec. 24, 2011.
Later that day Strickland called Laver to set up a time for an interview. When Laver asked what it was about, Strickland told him it was about lewd acts and comments made in public. Laver responded that he didn't know what that meant. Then Laver asked about having a lawyer, to which Strickland responded to bring one if he wished.
Laver next asked what would happen if he did not come in. Strickland told him he could either surrender himself on April 5 on the warrants he was taking out or he would have the U.S. Marshals serve the warrants. Laver responded that Strickland was threatening him, to which Strickland said "No, I'm not threatening you, it is how the procedure goes." Laver said he would come in the next day to talk to the detective.
The next day, according to Strickland, Richmond Hill attorney A. J. Balbo, who is representing Laver, telephoned him and told him he did not think it was in his client's best interest to talk with him.
The following day Laver surrendered himself to the police. He was released on $20,000 bond later that day.
According to Balbo, Laver does not want to argue the case in the media.
"We feel to do so is inappropriate and unprofessional," the attorney said. "However he looks forward to challenging these charges in court."
Enticing a minor for indecent purposes is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The other charges are misdemeanors.

New Jersey Governor Christie hedges on serving out full term
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, widely considered a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2016, declined to say if he would serve his full term.
Newly re-elected New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, widely considered a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2016, on Sunday declined to say whether he would serve out his full four-year term rather than run.
Asked by interviewer George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" whether he would complete his current term, Christie replied: "Listen, who knows. I don't know. I'm going to continue to do my job and finish the job. But (to) everybody who is trying to figure out what life is going to bring you a few years from now, I didn't expect to be sitting here four years ago, George. So, nobody can make those predictions."
Christie, a moderate, won the November 5 election with more than 60 percent of the vote to 38 percent for Democratic challenger state Senator Barbara Buono.
He has distanced himself from the conservative Tea Party wing of the Republican party, leaning toward immigration reform in a state where registered Democrats and independents outnumber Republicans, but he has so far avoided saying whether he will seek candidacy in the race for the White House.
Asked by Stephanopoulos if he considered that immigration reform should include a path to citizenship and reduced in-state college tuition for some illegal immigrants, Christie replied: "I think the national solution has to ... be figured out by the people who are in charge of our national government. My job is to fix what's going on in New Jersey.
"But I will tell you this, George, we're not going to be able to fix all the things we need in New Jersey until national leaders set a national immigration policy. ... And if they do that, then I think it will help our economy and help our country if we get to some resolution."

Groups that use Loundsley Green Community Centre received a cash boost when Derbyshire County Councillors presented them with a cheque for £2,200.
Councillors Jean Innes, Stuart Brittain and Ron Mihaly provided the money from the Members Community Leadership scheme.
Cllr Brittain said: "The Leadership Scheme gives Councillors the opportunity to support community groups that need money for worthwhile projects.
"Loundsley Green Community Trust is a great example of volunteers coming together to provide invaluable services for all members of the local community and we are delighted to support their work in this way."
Pictured are county cllrs Innes, Brittain and Mihaly with Lisa Smith of the Loundsley Green Parents and Toddlers group.
Lisa said "Most of this money will be used to renovate the floor in the main hall. There have been many improvements made to the centre over the last 18 months but toddlers like ours need a fresh clean floor to play on so this grant is really welcome. The kids will really appreciate it."
Loundsley Green Community Trust took over the Centre in June 2011. Since then they have raised money from many sources to refurbish and modernise the building and make it suitable for the many community groups that now meet there and the projects which the Trust specifically supports.
In addition to the Parents and Toddlers group, the trust supports a weekly Youth Club, the Young at Heart group, the Let's Cook Together project providing teaching in cookery skills, and Enterprise Coaching helping people back into work through self-employment. Find out more at www.lgct.org.uk.

i was so close to getting gozarutchi but then my tamagotchi died for the first time! i was asleep and then i heard the dying beeping sound n i woke up n i looked at oniontchi. i was waiting so long to get gozarutchi n now i have to wait another 2 generations because it died. i never resetted my tamagotchi or it never died ever since i had it the day i bought it n i got it to the 6th generation! so much hard work down the drain its making me think now-- maybe i could have prevented it...maybe there is a way to prevent death-- i wonder if you can press the reset button when its about to die and then download where u left off instead of helplessly watching it die. this sounds interesting i would like to here what everyone thinks.

Kennett Square, PACare for horses & livestock/farm animals
Philadelphia, PACare for cats, dogs & other domestic/companion animals
Welcome to Penn Vet's Veterinary Clinical Investigations Center (VCIC). We are a center for the advancement and coordination of clinical studies and trials.
VCIC is located within the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The center's primary focus is the establishment of clinical trials directed at investigating novel treatments or diagnostic tools in a variety of spontaneous disease processes in client-owned pets.
VCIC Phone Numbers: Phone: 215-573-0302
Fax: 215-746-1970
VCIC Address:
Veterinary Clinical Investigation Center
Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital
3800 Spruce Street
181E Old Vet Courtyard
Philadelphia, PA 19104
VCIC E-mail Address: email@example.com
***This e-mail address is for information regarding our studies only. General medical/diagnosis questions should be directed to your local veterinarian or you could make an appointment with one of our veterinary specialists at 215-746-VETS***
The VCIC collaborates with institutions including the School of Medicine at Penn, the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Investigational Drug Service at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
The various trials of the VCIC are sponsored by external foundations and industry including pharmaceutical and pet food companies, as well as internal funding provided by the Department of Clinical Studies-Philadelphia.
The VCIC works closely with individual clinicians at Ryan Veterinary Hospital with active trials aimed at advancing medical care of veterinary patients in such specialties as cardiology, internal medicine, oncology, critical care and clinical nutrition.
At the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary Clinical Investigations Center, we are able to bridge the gap between bench-to-bedside by conducting clinical trials with client-owned dogs and cats. Conventionally, new medical advancements move from experiments with laboratory animals, such as mice, rats and pigs, directly to human clinical trials. The use of client-owned dogs and cats gives scientists and doctors a better understanding of the outcome of therapeutics in patients whose day-to-day lives more closely resemble our own. While laboratory animals live in a very controlled setting, our pets live in our homes, sometimes eat what we eat and experience the environment in a similar way that we do. Not only does translational medicine in the veterinary setting benefit the pets we aim to treat, but it brings us one step closer to treating humans with comparable disease processes.
Many diseases that occur in humans are also recognized in nonhuman species. The Veterinary Clinical Investigations Center (VCIC) provides the infrastructure to facilitate the translation of novel interventions from basic scientists to high quality investigations in companion animals with naturally occurring diseases that parallel the human conditions.
Studies in companion animals with clear parallels in disease pathogenesis, progression and symptoms, can be an effective intermediate step in screening for efficacy and complications of compounds that appear promising in induced rodent models, before committing them to human clinical trials.
Advantages of Studying Human Diseases in Companion Animals:
The Veterinary Clinical Investigations Center (VCIC) is a center within the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine focusing on the implementation of high-quality clinical trials for client-owned companion animals. The director of the VCIC, Dr. Dorothy Cimino Brown, is a board-certified small animal surgeon with an advanced degree in clinical epidemiology/clinical trials from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. The center is staffed with full-time nurses certified in Good Clinical Practice, whose effort is devoted to all aspects of clinical trial implementation, from study set-up and recruitment to data collection, data management and study closeout. The VCIC is involved in the coordination and implementation of industry, foundation and government funded studies including FDA- and USDA-regulated studies. All studies are conducted to the level of GCP / VICH GL9 regardless of whether or not data will be submitted to a regulatory agency.
The VCIC has been active in the successful completion of both single center and multi-center trials. Past studies have focused on a broad spectrum of conditions including acute and chronic pain, infectious disease, obesity, sepsis and trauma, and have involved many hospital services including oncology, cardiology, dermatology, neurology, endocrinology, interventional radiology and internal medicine. The VCIC matches an investigator from the faculty and staff at the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (MJR-VHUP), who has the expertise needed for a given sponsored study, and then facilitates the efficient start-up, high quality data collection and successful completion of that study. For research involving investigational compounds including blinded, placebo-controlled studies, the VCIC works collaboratively with the Investigational Drug Service (IDS) at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The IDS is a research-only pharmacy that can provide 21CFR11 inventory monitoring, compounding and dispensing of investigational medications.
A successful companion animal trial begins with the ability to recruit the number of animals necessary to deliver meaningful results. The VCIC has a successful recruitment program, which utilizes print, Internet and radio advertising, as well as listserv and flyer recruitment through our network of over 3,000 referring veterinary practices. When a trial requires more animals with a specific condition than would normally be presented in the 34,000 pets that come to MJR-VHUP annually, the VCIC has a proven record for targeted recruitment of animals at over 400 percent above baseline presentation rate. The VCIC documents which recruitment modalities are most effective for a given target population and can guide sponsors on the most efficient means to enroll the desired number of animals in a specified period of time for a given study.
If you would like more information about the Veterinary Clinical Investigations Center please contact the Associate Director, Michael DiGregorio at (215) 573-3885 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
