The Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians ("Gun Lake Tribe") announced November 30, 2017, that its fall revenue sharing payments to the State of Michigan, local revenue sharing board and an economic development entity totaled $8.2 million, an increase of 24% over the spring revenue payment. Gun Lake paid the State of Michigan a total of $4,731,126, the local revenue sharing board $2,119,954, and GLIMI (an economic development organization) $1,419,338. The revenue sharing payments are calculated from electronic gaming revenues reported by the Tribe from April 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017.
Scott Sprague, Chairman of the Gun Lake Tribe, noted: "This is a very special distribution because of the significant increase in revenues due to the expansion, and because we have surpassed the $100 million milestone." He added: "The Tribe's reinvestment of $76 million into the casino expansion has paid off for tribal citizens, our team members and the community." Sprague was joined by Wayland Township Supervisor Roger VanVolkinburg, a member of the Local Revenue Sharing Board, and Allegan County Sheriff Frank Baker in celebrating the milestone revenue sharing payment. The Tribe provided a separate monetary donation to the Allegan County Sheriff's Department that helped purchase two K-9 units.
The Fall 2017 revenue sharing payment was the first to follow the Tribe's May 3, 2017 opening of their expansion which doubled the facility size, including increasing the number of electronic gaming machines by 30%. The Fall revenue sharing payment reflected an increase of 19% over the Fall 2016 revenue sharing payment.
In accordance with its compact with the State of Michigan, the Tribe directed a portion of the revenue sharing payments to GLIMI, which is overseen by the State of Michigan and the Tribe's economic development corporation, Gun Lake Investments. The Noonday Market, a fuel and convenience store next to the casino, was the beneficiary of the first GLIMI grant.

Dan KirkAGK: If you find the treasure, will it be difficult do do this show and pretend like it wasn't you who found it?
Bill Gormanaudio was fine now sounds like Toby is in a barrel. Somebody just has a cheep computer with poor sound
RedneckExpressToby is loud and clear – Shelly you mic is still low
Nikolai StrovHe was of clear mind when he decided to trove his treasure
Tl MattesSomebody is in the office working, unable to turn it up full blast, Bill. Don't talk bad about my sister!
Road RunnersWado from the Osage Reservation in Oklahoma.
Nikolai StrovYES
Steve Gaghagenhello from snowy Kearney Nebraska
Eric SchmidtThey have new mikes this week..
AksarbenPossession is 90% of ownership 😄
Joey PeroHaha 37 but thank you !
Nikolai StrovThats my age too 😃
Denise BagleyTitle to the "gold" not the bracelet or the bronze chest." That may be how he'll know someone has found it.
RedneckExpressTitle to the gold is Also part of a final clue – IMO
Nikolai StrovI believe it is someplace that is accessible to the public, you can NOT go looking for treasure in a national PARK.. These rules/laws are different in national FORRESTs
Denise BagleyDo tell… Redneck
Nikolai StrovAlso, with all this said, this should narrow the search area/s down significantly
Bill GormanForrest service cop told me I could keep it, sheriff said I could keep it, state trooper said I can keep it
Joel LewickiArticle referenced: https://www.inc-cin.org/assets/pdf/ar…
Eric SchmidtBill – you preparing for your rebuttal?
Steve Gaghagenisn't national Park land public land set aside for us?
Nikolai StrovYes/no
RedneckExpressDB: I believe Toby is accurate with the transfer of ownership verbiage, and also believe Numerous things in the poem mean 2 or even 3 different things.
Dale RichardsI had a BLM employee tell me that anything left on BLM land becomes subject to their rules of removal aft the 50 year mark.
B CrossGreetings
Wade KampsThis is why I rule out the treasure being placed on any reservation, then you also have to deal with another sovereign government
Cindy Guesslol
RedneckExpressSeriously doubt it's on private or tribal land…
Michael koenBLM land
Wade KampsRailroad bridges on reservation are all made of metal, they kept burning the wooden bridges and any freight that fell on tribal land became property of the tribe.
Nikolai StrovLadies, I hope your man's spoil you with infinite sweet nothings, all the flowers in the world and more love, hugs and kisses than the eye can see.. Happy Valentimes! See you all next time ♥🙏
Eric SchmidtActually don't blame the native americans for taking the tribal land so seriously as they have historical been taken advantage of
Steve GaghagenI agree Eric it's one thing we didn't take back
Road RunnersYou're so right Eric.
Eric SchmidtI have read quite a bit about this – one of the toughest reads was Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
Denise BagleyThat was? Or is ? I think that was a mistake , I hope.
john gouldThe govt will always make the case. (Yo confiscate). What do they have to lose?
Steve GaghagenLittle Big Man one of the best movies to show how we really treated the natives
Mary Green@ Denise Bagley caught that too
David Ursinyfenn is smart chances are that the box contains one gold coin and a paper ticket saying come get your treasure with his phone number
Michael koenFenn has said it's not buried
Eric SchmidtMichael – he hasn't said whether it's buried or not, "That's a clue I don't want to give"
amy smithHi! I'm late

Mary Green@ clay spence clear your cookies
A J Rainville@clay spence refresh browser?
clay spencedone and done. Thanks. will have to see it later. cell service must be bad here. tks.
B Cross
Franklin EaversI would speak with an attorney to see what the best place for me to find it would be.
Eric SchmidtAGK: United AIrlines magazine is Hemispheres
JanKirbhey fossilman i'm in phx too
Mary Green@ clay paste url again
fossilman123hi jan
clay spence@ mary will do. tks
Bill GormanA road is not a trail
Franklin EaversCan law enforcement make you say where it was found? In that case I would have a story.
Steve GaghagenAGK you did a video awhile ago with a great Fenn timeline can you refer me to what the title to that video is?
Bill GormanForrest cop told me I can keep it
Clayton WatsonBy my calculation you have approx 100 days to adjust your search area, find the chest, and implement "your plan for when you find the treasure" before I get there…plus or minus a few snow days 😉
KiraBill, a cop isnt a lawyer, it wont hold up.
Michael koenIt won't be foumd before June
JanKirbis the Shelley campaign still on?
Laurie Jamesa boyfriend with a treasure chest please!
Dale RichardsAGK: so, do you think that "go in peace" means to not be confrontational at all, if approached by law enforcement or a government employee?
AJ 21Agk What if you go public with the treasure what happen then?
amy smithI wonder if there are mosquitoes close to the treasure?
Eric Schmidtremove the space before the first "01"
Dan VonBankwatching in Minnesota
Denise BagleyIn the interview just played Forrest says that you need to report it…was that a National Park? I just missed where he said you'd have to report it. Even though it would still belong to the finder.
Clayton Watson@AJ21 There exists the potential to make enough money doing publicity gigs and write books that you can keep the chest!
Adam Foddy
jaswintersAGK So just to be clear is there any land out there legal to find the treasure chest without having any complications?
Bill GormanSheriff said I can keep it, he just suggested carrying a gun for the 200 pound cats
Man In The BarnAGK – When you auction off the chest would you be selling publishing rites to the autobiography and story or will you be keeping that?
Franklin EaversHe doesn't say you 'need' to, he says that's the 'legal' thing to do. I wouldn't tell anyone until it's safely transported.
Adam FoddyAGK: Has there been any cases of "treasure" being found with the finder losing out due to legal issues?
Joey PeroNot yet
Steve Gaghagenwe say it carnie
amy smithI think it's because your mic is too low to why
Steve HuntIf you aren't the (anonymous) finder, would you say it's not you?
AksarbenForrest says he has a feeling it will be found this summer. Do you feel the same or do you think it is to get people off the computer and out to the mountains
JanKirbAGK Fenn seems so sure of no legality issues that do you think the chest contains a title document to the treasure that passes to the founder?
James KruseMight try moving the lapel mic higher up Tody
Peter Longanshould the finder document the location for legal reasons
Miter BrollerAGK. We all know what Clue #1 is, but interested in what Clue #9 is for you? Which line/sentence?
Bill GormanThey don't let me in the other Fenn Facebook groups, I know too much.
amy smithI had one!
Dale RichardsAGK: I had a question above
Denise BagleyJanno
Michael koenbesides the treasure the only thing I havn't found is a car wreck in a ditch
Melinda TruscelliHow often do you go out and search? How many have you done so far?
Peter Longanagk should the finder document the location for legal reasons
AksarbenMichael were you in Kristin when you saw that wreck
Wade KampsWonder if Forrest wanted to throw his bones on the treasure because Indian bones would trump Forrest Fenns title to his claim? sort of a poke at the govt..
Bill GormanI went to the Denver Museum last week, I wasn't impressed with it.
Michael koenI have found the rr, the cametary and fire circle
Dale RichardsAGK: some BLM areas have a 5 gallon bucket rule. Would removing a Treasure Trove be allowed with that rule in place?
Bill GormanAnubis and the Mammoth outside are the only clues at Denver Nature Useum.
James KruseThat's interesting
amy smithAGK: do you think if there are mosquitoes where he hid the treasure?
Michael koenyes
Melinda Truscelli[message retracted]
Bill GormanAs a camp host at a Forrest service campground, I know all the law enforcement for the area and they all told me I can keep it
James KruseAgk: would you open the chest or auction it sealed
Happy Valentines …..
Melinda TruscelliAGK how many searches have you been on and how often do you go?
Bill GormanIt will be one of his jars with the title to go claim it
Denise BagleyI love your show! Thank you.
Dale RichardsAmy: I think Forrest said he accidentally left his sardine sandwich in the chest when he dumped his gold in it.
B CrossAGK: Are you aware of any interview with Forrest conducted this year with author James Frey?
Eric SchmidtB Cross – you been watching Cowlazars?
Peter Longanagk when or did fenn say that the chest could be affected by natural desaters.
Laurie JamesFYI. Toby, you really need to read House of Rain by Craig Child's. It's a wonderful book.
Road RunnersAGK – Off topic somewhat but can you tell me whether or not there are lignite deposits in or adjacent to Cimarron Canyon?
Mary Green@ B Cross, u beat me to that Q
Denise BagleyWhat if you tell people where you found it? Would they have to prove it? I can't see what I am typing so forgive my mistakes.
Edward OwenAGK did forrest say once that the Blaze cannot be seen from Google Earth?
Allie Blancheagk do you have to report the $100,000 in cash that's sitting in the chest?
David DowAGK: could you create an entity owned by a self directed Roth IRA, therefore when you find it, you don't really own it, but your Roth IRA OWNS IT, then no taxes need to be paid?
JanKirbAGK can we exclude NM owned public land and city owned pubic land or not?
Denise BagleyLike couldn't you tell people and they'd have to prove it? Whom ever finds it could say it was found somewhere whether it wasn't found.
Bill GormanJames Frey said my photos were "Amazing"
amy smithAGK: do you know if FF's father really took his own life and the details to finding his body?
Mary Green@ David Dow, im going to ask a account friend about that
Man In The BarnAGK – If someone else find the trove and you find out the location afterwards would you announce report on it?
AksarbenCould you avoid legal issue by lending or just donating it to a museum for an extended/permanent time frame
Steve Gaghagenthanks for the answers Toby and Shelley love the show great as always Happy Valentine's day great to be back for a live stream
Jimmy Fast[message retracted]
Franklin EaversSame question as Jimmy Fast.
Michael koen5 gallon bucket rule is for petrified wood
Denise BagleyAGK, we should have a secret party with all invested in the hunt.
Joey Pero@AGK thoughts on the colors mentioned in Tea with Olga?
Bill GormanThe trove is the Drawings, find the Art in Nature if you're brave because you will be critisized for seeing Rockwell's in rocks.
Bill GormanFrey loves the Mammoth Temples fits his fantasy style.
Dale RichardsATK: Do you think Forrest or an affiliate of his has staked a claim where he hid the treasure? If so, entirely different set of rules.
David Ursinynone of that legal stuff will count on federal property because all you will find at the bear canyon campfire is a box with one gold coin and a ticket saying call me to get your treasure, its a legal
Steve GaghagenAGK what are the 6 questions you've decided on?
Michael koenthere has been a landslide near where I am looking
Sandy WolfMichael get a metal detector
David Cline
If I ever found the treasure, I would split it with you guys for sure. Your dedication to this project is profound.
Bill GormanFenn was asked if an earthquake would hide it and he acted as it could.
David Ursinyits a legal thing for somebody getting hurt with a pile of gold forrest lawyers schooled him its hiss show
Eric SchmidtAGK: he said you couldn't zoom in enough to see the chest – I don't think he said whether or not you could see the blaze
Peter Longanthank you for that answer
Sandy Wolfif treasure is on private land can you still claim it
Eric SchmidtI thought that was on the Moby Dickens video..?
Dale RichardsATK: I think he buried it in sand. He made mention of that in referring to a poem in his book. Do you think that digging in the sand does not create a surface disturbance?
Bill GormanAGK found in a state ROW?
Sandy Wolfthat's why he said take it and leave it's probably on private land
Joey PeroATK = only on Thursdays haha !
Sandy Wolfhow do we no that no one has found it cause of tax purposes he said he hasn't been back to make sure it's there
WorldFamous Gameris it possible to find out where Forrest's properties?
Seannm SeannmAGK & All: the key word may be trove, and the fact that he says "leave my trove for all to seek". This line in the poem may cover the legalities of ownership. He spent a whole bunch of $ on lawyer
Edward OwenThank you eric
Dale RichardsAGK: So then, do you think I should do the right thing and put it back? 😉
Eric SchmidtNo problem! Glad to help
fossilman123AGK, can you add this question to the list of FF Questions…..FF said he hid the treasure , Is it hidden out of view?
Michael koenLater all, tks
Clayton WatsonAGK: Bill Gorman is referring to State Right-of-Way. I.e. bar ditches and such

My husband and I feel that our daughter having autism is nothing to be embarrassed about. Sure, it's not good news, in the sense that our daughter's life will be more difficult, and our lives as her parents are going to be more stressful than if she was neurotypical. We need to figure out how to get her the best care and therapy possible, to give her the best life we can, while keeping our own lives (and incomes). But this isn't the end of the world, and she's still our daughter, and she's the same person she was before the "autism" label was applied. With the diagnosis, we now have a better understanding of her differences, and more information about how to best help her.
So, when we got the diagnosis, we started slowly telling people. Starting with immediate family, as well as close friends, then a few coworkers, or even acquaintances if it came up. We don't announce it to everyone we meet, but it's a fact about our family and we're not embarrassed about it.
The reactions have been varied. Some people just say "oh" and don't know what else to say. Others tell me about a friend or relative with autism. Some have reacted as if I just told them my daughter has cancer and might not make it. Things like a huge gasp, a shocked expression and "oh no" or "I'm so, so sorry for her" over and over. Of all the reactions, these are the ones I like the least. I know the person is just trying to be sympathetic, but my daughter isn't dying. These reactions make me think I should feel worse about the diagnosis than I do. But I know they come from a place of good intentions.
I have been debating with myself whether to make a facebook post about the diagnosis. My facebook friends are a varied bunch, including professors at a universities in the U.S. and abroad, friends from high school/college/grad school, extended family, neighbors, my former marching band director, etc. etc. I only post on facebook maybe once a month, and I consider anything I post there to be public information. I do post occasional happy family photos or family updates. On the one hand, if I want to treat the diagnosis as normal, and not something to seek sympathy over then it probably shouldn't merit a post. On the other hand, if I don't post something about this, am I treating it as something to be hidden, disguised, not talked about? I did already join a closed group for local parents of autistic kids, so maybe that makes this info public already.
I'd appreciate any comments with advice or experience on how to approach "coming out" on facebook as autistic or the parent of an autistic person. If I want to be able to discuss treatments or experiences, I need to come out with it eventually, but I want to avoid the "like she's dying" type of reactions as much as possible.

Individuals become "children of the light" by following the promptings of the Spirit, becoming instruments to bring about much righteousness, Elder Craig C. Christensen of the Presidency of the Seventy said during a campus devotional at Brigham Young University–Idaho on March 19.
"My message today focuses on the spiritual significance of embracing the light—of living our lives in such a way that we are filled with light, even as the world seems to be drifting more and more into darkness and despair," he said.
Drawing from the writings of Paul in the New Testament, Elder Christensen spoke of the "children of light" (1 Thessalonians 5:5). Using an example from his own family, Elder Christensen shared a story of when he and his wife came home to their children watching a movie that they did not find uplifting. "It wasn't necessarily the content; it was the feeling [my wife] had while watching the video. After a few minutes, she asked our children if they saw any 'light' in this particular movie. She was not referring to the cinematography, or even the elements of the plot, but to the feelings she was experiencing when exposed to something rather dark and eerie."
After that experience, over the years his family adopted as part of their family dialog the simple question, "Do you see any light in that?"
"We ask this question frequently as we seek after things that are virtuous, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy or as we are bombarded with worldly influences, or darkness, that seem to be constantly looming," he said. "Simply by being on guard and by using this somewhat obvious filter, we have learned that it is quite easy to differentiate between what is light and what is dark—between things that inspire us and bring us closer to the Spirit and things that do not."
The doctrine of light is the essence of the gospel, which is centered in Jesus Christ and His Atonement. To understand light means to understand the nature and divine character of the Savior Himself.
"To be 'children of light,' as Paul taught, means to believe and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and follow His righteous example," Elder Christensen said.
The light of Christ is in everyone, and it helps discern between good and evil, he said. Using the example of the Prophet Joseph Smith in the Sacred Grove, Elder Christensen explained that the concept of light is much broader and much deeper than a simple description of luminosity or radiance—darkness is more than the mere absence of light.
"As you and I follow the Savior and embrace the light, we become His children, His sons and His daughters," he said. "As we continue on this path, we learn and grow and gain even more light. … We have been given the light of the gospel through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. You and I know what God expects from us, His beloved children. We have His Spirit to guide and direct us. To become 'children of the light' means to reject the power of the adversary and choose daily to follow in His light."
"The phrase 'children of the light' describes a people in whom the light of the gospel shines brightly, who seek the light and are drawn to that which is virtuous, clean, and pure. There is an expectation that the children of the light are alert and watchful, not 'sleeping,' in a spiritual sense, when they should be 'awake,' " he said.
"Children of the light do not sit passively in darkness; they have the courage to stand up and stand out," he said. "When the adversary comes looming, children of the light know when to fight back, when to say no, and when to simply walk away."
It is through letting one's light shine that one becomes a standard to the nations of things that are of God.
"As you let your light shine, others who are sensitive to the light will be inspired by you to seek greater light," he said. "They will want to have more of what they see in you."
To be filled with light means more than simply obeying the commandments, Elder Christensen taught. Children of the light exercise great faith as they listen to and follow the words of the prophets.
"Now, there may be times when we consider all that is expected of children of the light and believe it to be beyond our reach and abilities," he said. "Painfully aware of our own shortcomings, we may wonder why anyone would look to us for light and inspiration—particularly when we are in need of such help ourselves. If you ever feel this way, remember that your Heavenly Father knows all about you—your strengths and your weaknesses. He knows perfectly who you are, but He also knows who you can become. And with all of that knowledge, He has placed you here, right now, at the exact time and place where you can do the most good with the talents and gifts He has blessed you with."
Individuals don't have to wait until they are perfect before they are lights to the world, he said. Becoming children of the light is a process, much like the process of conversion. It is the gospel that helps individuals become what children of God are supposed to become.
"To become 'children of the light' we must be born of God, constantly repent, and continually deepen our conversion by daily applying the Atonement of Jesus Christ in our lives."

Tests and reviews of different batteries to help you find the Right One…
The 1.5V AA Toshiba E-Power batteries are Carbon-Zinc primary batteries and are the third model in Toshiba's line of such batteries. According to the manufacturer these batteries are supposed to provide 25% improved performance vs Heavy Duty line and while we still haven't tested the standard 1.5V AA Toshiba Heavy Duty batteries, we have tested the Super Heavy Duty model, so we could compare these to the E-Power series of Carbon-Zinc products. Just a reminder, the Zinc batteries do offer shorter shelf life and lower capacity and are not suitable for high load applications as compared to the Alkaline primary batteries. The Toshiba E-Power batteries we tested here were with an expiration date 05-2015.
Time for the tests to start for the 1.5V AA Toshiba E-Power batteries beginning with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A and the result we got was 731 mAh as capacity. This is a decent result for a Carbon-Zinc batteries, but compared to the Toshiba Super Heavy Duty batteries the E-Power does provide less useable capacity. Increasing the load to 0.2A and the E-Power still does pretty good, though at 0.5A the performance is not that good already and 1.0A proves to be too much. As expected these batteries do perform well, but are nothing special even for Zinc batteries. They are suitable for low load applications, but not for high load ones where you should definitely consider either good Alkaline batteries or even NiMH batteries.
The performance of the 1.5V AA Toshiba E-Power batteries in our tests:
– 731 mAh at 0.1A load
– 516 mAh at 0.2A load
– 199 mAh at 0.5A load
– 36 mAh at 1.0A load
– 0.874 Wh at 0.1A load
– 0.589 Wh at 0.2A load
– 0.207 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.036 Wh at 1.0A load
The 1.2V AA 2400 mAh Powerex Imedion NiMH batteries are of the Low Self Discharge Type (LSD NiMH) and are considered to be among the best high capacity and high performance LSD NiMH batteries by many, competing with the like of Sanyo Eneloop for example. These batteries are rated at 2400 mAh typical and 2250 mAh minimum guaranteed capacity and the fact that they are LSD means they are supposed to loose not more than 15% of their capacity per year of storage. They also come pre-charged and can be recharged up to 1000 times. But let us see how good will they perform in our tests and see if they will manage to hold up to their reputation well or not.
Starting the tests of the 1.2V AA 2400 mAh Powerex Imedion NiMH batteries with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.2A got us 2414 mAh as or with other words we are getting a bit over the typical capacity that they are rated at, so a good start. Increasing the load to 0.5A these batteries still manage to provide capacity higher than their minimum rating of 2250 mAh, so more good results here. And going with even higher constant current loads of 1.0A and 2.0A we are still seeing very good results in terms of useable capacity. So in short, meeting their rating and providing more than good results in both low and high load applications and while not as good as Sanyo Eneloop XX in terms of capacity they are also a bit cheaper than the Eneloops. Anyway, these batteries are very good for what they are rated at and for their price, so you cannot go wrong getting them.
The performance of the 1.2V AA 2400 mAh Powerex Imedion NiMH batteries in our tests:
– 2414 mAh at 0.2A load
– 2283 mAh at 0.5A load
– 2168 mAh at 1.0A load
– 1917 mAh at 2.0A load
– 3.002 Wh at 0.2A load
– 2.781 Wh at 0.5A load
– 2.535 Wh at 1.0A load
– 2.099 Wh at 2.0A load
The 1.5V AA AgfaPhoto Alkaline Power batteries are from a German brand associated with Photography, though the batteries produced under that brand are a licensed product, nevertheless we are interested to see how well they will perform in our tests. According to AgfaPhoto their Alkaline batteries are supposed to offer long-lasting dependable power to thirsty everyday devices such as toys, torches, electronic games and more. The batteries we got for testing here were with an expiration date of 01-2016, so they are probably not so fresh with a possible shelf life of about 4-5 years as couldn't find exact data about this.
Time for the tests to start for the 1.5V AA AgfaPhoto Alkaline Power batteries beginning with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A and the result we got was 2441 mAh as capacity is actually quite impressive considering that the batteries have probably been produced close to two years ago or possibly more even close to three years ago. This result is better than that of a more recently produced Duracell Copper Top battery and places the AgfaPhoto in about the middle of out Top 10 AA Alkaline batteries for load load applications. Thought the capacity we are getting from the batteries with increased loads is not that serious, probably due to the fact that they were not so freshly produced. Anyway, we are seeing really promising results here from the AgfaPhoto batteries and we are going to look for a newer production to repeat the test and see if we are going to get better results, but even with these batteries we still get quite good results in terms of usable capacity both for lower and higher load applications.
The performance of the 1.5V AA AgfaPhoto Alkaline Power batteries in our tests:
– 2441 mAh at 0.1A load
– 1753 mAh at 0.2A load
– 1024 mAh at 0.5A load
– 419 mAh at 1.0A load
– 2.995 Wh at 0.1A load
– 2.079 Wh at 0.2A load
– 1.166 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.459 Wh at 1.0A load

How texts, tweets, emails can haunt sender
Commentary: People should think twice before hitting 'send'"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." When we were kids, our parents trotted out that bromide to stop the quarreling or salve hurt feelings.
Even then, most kids realized that the saying was not all it was cracked up to be. Words did wound, but generally they didn't spread as quickly, and they didn't hover in the ether for eons to come.
But now? Everything that's uttered, written, e-mailed, texted, twittered, recorded, overheard, even just imagined -- especially if it is uttered by or about a famous person -- is out there and ready to come boomeranging back, mostly to bite folks in the rear end. Political correctness has only heightened the urge to pounce.
One network lawyer told me last week that standards & practices departments are no longer bombarded by complaints about sex and violence on TV nearly as much as they are by all sorts of groups that feel offended by jokes they construe to be at their expense.
We kinda all know this, and yet the things we used to call bloopers only seem to proliferate.
It used to be that kids said the darndest things; but of course, grown-ups do too, sometimes wittingly and sometimes despite their better selves. And increasingly more publicly than they should.
What's changed too is that with all the multitasking talksters, twitterers, texters and opiners of all ilks out there, it was inevitable that the ratio of the riotous, racy or irrational would skyrocket.
And that ever-more voracious media, including but not limited to the blogosphere, has its radar out constantly to pick up oddball signals and deconstruct them; and that effort in turn feeds the appetite of the public for ever-edgier soundbites and ever-sharper commentary about it. With competition among outlets ever fiercer, the race to denigrate, deride or otherwise diss the party who blabbed or confessed or was simply caught off-guard has become an ever faster one.
Perhaps it's because people are constantly plugged in to media devices of one sort or another and thus increasingly tuned out to the people immediately around them, casual conversations with passers-by, neighbors or strangers are increasingly perceived as odd if not downright icky.
So, with the media ever alert to picking up anything potentially audience-grabbing or arresting, it's surprising that anyone feels they can speak freely -- and yet they do, ever more carelessly, a few even recklessly. Sometimes they can't help themselves.
There's so much digital dissonance out there, and so few ways to break through the clutter, that the impetus to be out there and outrageous apparently has become very tempting.
The latest example that has media types, if not the masses, scratching their heads: Viacom/CBS boss Sumner Redstone, who left a voicemail (as in a "recorded" message -- hello?) for Daily Beast columnist Peter Lauria asking him to give up a source -- whom, it was assured, wouldn't be killed, just "sat down and talked to."
We're not talking giving it up about Watergate here: We're talking about Electric Barbarellas, a girl band that the owner of Viacom, CBS -- and, as he makes a point of stressing in the voicemail, MTV too -- is convinced is great and deserves its own show. (Apparently, Lauria's source talked to MTV insiders who saw the band differently, as in terrible.)
It's a little like finding out, say, that the leader of the free world has a fondness for Cheez-Its and took the time to make calls to have them placed in school vending machines. That while an oil spill continues to pollute and joblessness continues to take its toll. OK, MTV is Redstone's company and he has the right to champion whatever content, but surely there are bigger fish for him to fry at his media empire. But perhaps those meatier issues on his plate are simply not getting recorded, or played back.
Hard to know if Redstone was embarrassed by the exposure; he seems of the school that believes no publicity is bad publicity.
Our nation's capitol seems full of folks who believe similarly.
We have the Vice President Joe Biden, who has become more famous for putting his foot in his mouth than for putting his signature on laws, as well as his one-time antagonist for the job and now possible Republican presidential hopeful Sarah Palin. Her own Alaska-inflected aphorisms keep coming, with no apparent chagrin on her part, and are parsed endlessly by both supporters and detractors.
But Hollywood is way ahead of Washington in producing folks whose slip-ups, solipsisms or silliness provide a field day for the media and as often as not resonate with the public at large. And for some reason, the summer seems to bring out the weird and wacky.
Some 12 million people may be out of work, but we hear more about one messed-up starlet going to jail for a couple of weeks.
Consider the media circus around Lindsay Lohan, with every detail of her statements, her demeanor and her sentencing discussed in excruciating detail and every element of her detention, down to the dinner menu of chicken casserole, laid out for public consumption.
Finally, there are the words that really do hurt like sticks and stones. They can jeopardize careers, end relationships and cost a bucket-load of money, as in this summer's sizzler: Mel Gibson ranting at his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva and spouting, yet again, invectives offensive to blacks and women. He's now disgraced, but that was only Act One, or perhaps Two (we've been there before with his misconduct). Now it seems she secretly taped his outbursts and her legal counsel failed to reveal a prior settlement, and there are e-mails or whatever ...
The summer may not be long enough for this war of words, but at some point a little silence, or at least someone saying something really smart, will be needed.

Internet giant Google is celebrating 15 years since its inception today, and is in better shape than ever. However, it is facing growing public concerns about so-called 'Big Brother' behaviour.
Originally called BackRub, the Internet search engine started in 1996 as a project of two Stanford University students – Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The two later split off from the University and, on 4 September 1998, incorporated the new company, changing the name of the product to Google – a playful misspelling of the word googol – a number followed by 100 zeros, evidently referencing the number of results the search engine provides.
At this time, Google was a tiny firm based in the garage of a friend of the two founders – insignificant in a market dominated at the time by giants like Yahoo and Altavista.
However, the search engine, presenting a simple plain white page with nothing but an oblong search box in the middle, soon took off with Internet users and climbed to the top, handling nearly 85 per cent of all search requests on the World Wide Web by 2004.
While conventional search engines ranked results by counting how many times a search term appeared on a page, Page's and Brin's system relied on analysing relationships between the websites – a basis of the PageRank concept, patented by Stanford University in the early years of the project.
By determining a website's relevance and its importance by the number of pages linking back to it, Google's search results seemed to be more relevant than those of its competitors.
From the garage-based firm, Google has grown over the 15 years into the world's number one player, branching into other areas and creating products such as Google Maps, Streetview, the smartphone operating system Android or its own range of smart gadgets.
With 70 offices across the globe, Google's position today seems unshakable. However, industry experts say that how long Google will manage to stay on the top will depend on its ability to set the pace in innovation.
"I am not surprised they have survived this far but if you're asking if they will survive until they are 25 or 30, that's another question," said Joseph Lampel, professor of strategy at Cass Business School, City University London.
"Google might not be able to maintain their level of dominance, if the industry opens up to competitors," he said, explaining that especially Asian-based contenders could test Google's position in the future
"The question also arises of the very function of Google. The search engine business will shift in the next decade into new technology and new devices," Lampel added.
Colin Cieszynski, senior market analyst at CMC Markets, said: "They've taken a lead in the second wave of success of the Internet, becoming the premier company. It's like there was a shake-up, and they're the ones who ended up on top. Yahoo has struggled along, but lots of others have fallen by the wayside."
Recently, Google has been involved in several controversies including concerns about search ranking manipulation. It was also among the companies claimed to cooperate with US surveillance agencies on their global data-mining programmes, which has further stirred the on-going debate about privacy protection online.
According to a recent survey, almost two-thirds of Internet users are concerned about Google not respecting privacy rules.
Earlier this year, Google nearly faced criminal proceedings in the European Union, after personal data unlawfully collected by its Street View cars had been discovered. Though the company's motto famously says 'don't be evil', it's practices have recently been increasingly questioned. In the UK, the company has been accused of tax evasion. Despite having a strong presence in the UK, Google claims handling all its commercial and sales activities in the country from Ireland, which offers better corporation tax conditions.

It is no secret that the labor market is struggling, which is reflected in the high unemployment rate. Unfortunately, now there is more bad news. In the month of April 2012, the number of job openings fell to its lowest point in five months, and also showed its lowest monthly percentage decline in more than seven years. According to the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, JOLTS, at the end of April, there were 3.4 million job openings, an eight percent decline from the previous month. Also, the pace of total hiring slowed down, with 160,000 fewer jobs being filled during the month.
The April decrease in job openings occurred throughout the employment spectrum, with manufacturing having 62,000 fewer openings, and construction having 2,000 fewer openings. Leisure and hospitality, which had been a leading area of job growth, had 3,000 fewer openings, validating concerns that the slowdown in the labor market is a threat to the ongoing economic recovery that has been occurring since the official end of the recession in June 2009. Also, government job openings decreased by 42,000 due to belt-tightening at the state and local levels. Unfortunately, there is no sign of immediate improvement, as the unemployment rate went up to 8.2 percent in May. In response to this economic stagnation, the Federal Reserve plans to enact quantitative easing measures to provide a boost. Quantitative easing is when central banks purchase financial assets to inject a pre-determined quantity of money into the economy, lowering long-term interest rates and hopefully stimulating consumption.
In a difficult labor market such as the one we are currently experiencing, it is more important than ever to be vigilant in the job search. Constantly update your resume, and boost your credentials by taking graduate courses if you feel it is necessary. Also, you should be open to relocation; while it is not always the most convenient, sometimes it is best to go where the most jobs are. Always be willing to learn, since candidates who have diverse skills are those most primed to succeed. There is going to be a lot of competition for the job of your dreams, so do anything you can to give yourself an edge.

When fall arrives I usually really want to watch 'You've got mail', and it was no different this year so I thought I'd make a theme night out of it and invite my sisters in law and a few friends. We had a nice time chatting and then watching the movie together. for some it was their first time seeing the movie:)

DescriptionThe life of Shirlie Montgomery was a colorful one. From her love of photography, sports, and journalistic photography, she was in a unique position to capture history. History San Jose will presents a photography exhibit based upon a collection of her pictures.
Born in on Chapman Street in San Jose in 1918, she was the only child of Rea Montgomery. It was her dad, an avid sportsman, who passed along his love of boxing and wrestling matches. Shirlie was the great niece of T. S. Montgomery, a local realtor and developer, who donated the land to the city where the Civic Auditorium stands today.
As a professional photographer, she pointed her 4X5 Speed Graphic camera on behalf of the San Jose Mercury, the San Francisco Examiner, freelancing, even working events for Lou's Village. She passed away in 2012, leaving thousands of photographs from her collection, most of which are in the Collection Center of History San Jose. This exhibit will be augmented by photos from private collectors, personal items owned by Shirlie, and other ephemera of old San Jose.
Shirlie Montgomery: Picturing San Jose Since 1938, is exhibited at the Leonard & David McKay Gallery in the Pasetta House at History Park and runs through August 10, 2014.

LIBERTY Musical Set to Play Seven-Week Engagement at Theatre 80
Producer Theresa Wozunk (The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess) announced today that Liberty: A Monumental New Musical will play a limited seven-week engagement at Theatre 80 (80 St. Marks Place) this fall.
Acclaimed actor/director Evan Pappas will make his NYC directing debut when he stages the new musical. Liberty: A Monumental New Musical, a timely and entertaining theatrical event that tells the story of our country's most famous, undocumented immigrant, will play performances Tuesday, October 14 through Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Full cast and creative team will be announced shortly. Tickets are now on sale.

High-profile readings and workshop presentations have featured the talents of Diana DeGarmo, Sasha Allen, and Dee Roscioli in the role of "Liberty."

The powerful, sweeping new musical follows the statuesque immigrant's struggle, strife, and success in the everevolving country she's come to symbolize. Liberty: A Monumental New Musical was adapted from original material by Dana Leslie Goldstein, Jon Goldstein, and Robert Bruce McIntosh.
Evan Pappas has a long list of credits as both an actor and director. He appeared on Broadway in My Favorite Year, Parade, Putting It Together, and A Chorus Line; and in the West End productions of Merrily We Roll Along and Follies.

EASTCHESTER, N.Y. -- The Eastchester School District will welcome back Eastchester High graduate Chef Dante Giannini, a recent winner of the Food Network's show "Chopped," for its Family Wellness Night event on Thursday in the Middle School cafeteria.
Giannini will demonstrate healthy cooking techniques to guests at the event. All community members and families are welcome.
Family Wellness Night is the district's third event of its multi-year commitment to promoting wellness and combating drug and alcohol abuse.
Its goal is to engage the community in helping young people lead healthier lives and prevent substance abuse by promoting wellness, encouraging healthy lifestyles and strengthening the support systems that deter drug consumption, according to a release from the Eastchester School District.
Earlier in the year, the district hosted former NBA player Chris Herren, who spoke of how drugs and alcohol derailed his personal and professional life.
World-renowned speaker Michael Nerney, Ph.D., spoke in December about adolescent development and the allure of thrill-seeking, drug and alcohol abuse, and other high-risk behaviors common among young people.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Walter Moran said, "The district is strongly committed to a series of programs aimed at promoting substance abuse awareness and prevention strategies."
Additional activities on Thursday will include presentations by a yoga instructor and a fitness coach. The Town of Eastchester D.A.R.E. officers will be on hand to talk about their school-based drug prevention program.
Trader Joe's will be onsite with healthy snacks, and the Eastchester Public Library will bring its mobile checkout unit and many books featuring wellness.
Looking forward, on Monday, Feb. 27, the district will host Susan Salomone and Dr. Ray Dorritie from Drug Crisis in Our Backyard, a community-based nonprofit organization offering education and action-oriented opportunities for families and individuals struggling with addiction.
March will feature nationally recognized speaker Germaine Galloway, and in April, the focus will be on prom weekend safety.
Family Wellness Night on Thursday will be from 7 - 8 p.m.

So when I saw I got nominated for the Sunshine Award by Lourdes over at Love is Life, I knew I had to do it. So even though I am a bit late, and even though I'm not going to nominate other people (at least not at the moment) here are my answers to her questions!
1. Growing up, which parent were you the closest to? Did this change at any time?
My mom. And no that hasn't changed. My dad and I are the EXACT same person so we tended to butt heads a lot growing up. Took me a while to learn how to accept and interact with him. But my mom and I have always been close. Which is why I don't always get it when people are not close to their moms.
2. Do you believe in "Love at first sight?" Do you think it happens?
No. I believe in attraction at first sight. I used to believe in love at first sight but J changed all that. Love and affection is something that definitely has to grow and be tended to. And it's amazing what happens when that moment finally hits and love starts to bloom. That reasoning is one of the reasons that J and I chose "I See the Light" for our first dance.
Seriously, tears everytime!
3. What period of history is your favorite? Why?
WWII. It just encompasses so many different aspects of history and it was SUCH a pivotal moment in history. Doesn't really matter which part of it, I love reading about all of it. So many of my papers in high school revolved around World War 2. I just loved learning about it.
4. If you could change one thing about your appearance what would it be?
I'm kinda over my acne and acne scars. I just finished reading a book that has an intriguing plan so I'm gonna give that a shot. It's just annoying to still be dealing with it!
5. What is your favorite fast food place?
Chick Fil A. I barely eat it anymore but it's still my favorite! Mmmm chicken nuggets, waffle fries and a fruit punch! YUM!
6. If you could live in any country, where would you live? If it isn't the country you currently live in, why did you choose another country?
England. Or anywhere in Europe really. Just to have a different experience.
7. How many kids do you want to have? Boys? Girls?
No more than 2. A boy and a girl preferably.
8. Can you do a push up?***
Yes I can. I worked out with a trainer off and on for about a year and he really helped my upper body strength. I used to be able to do a few in a row...now I'd probably die.
9. Who is the most influential person in your life? How have they influenced you?
My mom. She's just the most amazing person, and I've never met anyone who didn't like her. She always has a positive caring spirit no matter who she is around or what she has gone through. I try as much as possible to be like her.
10. I nominated you because I love your blog. Why did you start blogging? Has your motivation for blogging changed as time goes on?
Last summer I was bored and decided I used to have a Livejournal so why not try another blog. Never knew I'd find this world! My motivation has died since then, but I still like to maintain it. I need to stop reading blogs on my iPhone so that way I can actually comment!
What would your answers to these questions be? Anything like mine???

Media release – Annual General Meeting July 30 2014
31 July 2014
Media release – Annual General Meeting July 30 2014
Ryman Healthcare to build new villages in Rangiora and Greenlane
FOR A WEBCAST OF THE AGM CLICK ON http://www.media-server.com/m/p/dfvwfsct
AGM told resort-style villages will meet growing demand for retirement living
Ryman Healthcare is planning to build new retirement villages at Rangiora in Canterbury and Greenlane in Auckland.
Ryman Healthcare chairman Dr David Kerr told the company's annual general meeting in Waikanae today that the expansion was needed to keep pace with growing demand for aged care services and retirement living.
New Zealand's largest retirement village operator has bought a site on Oxford Rd in Rangiora where it is planning to build a $120 million retirement village on 6.5 hectares of land.
Ryman has also confirmed it has acquired the old Kingsgate Hotel site on Campbell Rd in Greenlane, Auckland. The 1.6 hectare site will be redeveloped into a village with apartments and care services and will cost about $100 million to develop.
"Our Diana Isaac Retirement Village in northern Christchurch was fully occupied in record time and since it opened we've been regularly asked whether we'd build a village further north,'' Dr Kerr told shareholders at Ryman's AGM at Charles Fleming Retirement Village in Waikanae.
"The 2010 and 2011 earthquakes changed the dynamics of Christchurch and Canterbury, and have turned the Waimakariri into one of the country's fastest growing regions.''
In Auckland the Campbell Rd site is near Cornwall Park and is handy to Greenlane, Ellerslie and Mt Eden.
"It's a great location for a retirement village in a very established part of Auckland. We've now got five new villages to develop in greater Auckland which is a mark of the faith we have in the future of the city and the wider region,'' Dr Kerr said.
The Greenlane village will include two and three-bedroom independent apartments, serviced apartments and a care centre with resthome care as well as specialist dementia and hospital-level care.
The Rangiora village, which will be built just west of The Oaks subdivision, will include two and three-bedroom independent townhouses and apartments. Its care centre will include resthome care as well as specialist dementia and hospital-level care.
Both villages will include the usual Ryman amenities such as gyms, bowling greens, hairdressing salons, chapels, movie theatres, and indoor swimming pools.
Dr Kerr told shareholders at the AGM that trading was in line with expectations in the first quarter.
This week Ryman will welcome its first residents at its new Bruce McLaren Retirement Village in Howick, Auckland.
"The demand for Bruce McLaren has exceeded our expectations and it has opened on schedule. It has all the makings of another terrific Ryman village,'' Dr Kerr said.
A recorded webcast of the AGM will be available after the event by clicking on http://www.media-server.com/m/p/dfvwfsct
Notes: Guide to Ryman's new developments
New villages are being planned at:
Birkenhead, Auckland
Devonport, Auckland
Brandon Park, Melbourne
Newtown, Wellington
Tropicana Farm, Blockhouse Bay, Auckland
Greenlane, Auckland

It's a daunting feat to try and cover Bob Dylan, but when Creative Alliance rocks their fourth Night of 1000 Dylans on Friday, Brian Simms will be handling the keyboard and accordion responsibilities.
"I began picking out songs from the radio on a Schroeder piano at age 5," Simms said. "My parents [later] thought it a sound investment to purchase a life-size one." Glenelg native and Catonsville resident Simms has recorded and toured with hometown heroes Disappear Fear in the '90s and currently plays in eight bands, including Junkyard Saints. In between rehearsals for the Dylan show (7:30 p.m.; Creative Alliance, 3134 Eastern Ave.; $16), Simms, 43, let b in on his favorite Dylan song and affinity for duct-tape wallets.
Worst pet peeve?
What song are you hating and/or loving right now?
"The Star-Spangled Banner." It's a love/hate thing. A bit wordy and "rah-rah," but very danceable.
Your worst habit?
I have an unhealthy affection for Cap'n Crunch.
Trend that has exceeded its natural lifespan?
Political gridlock in Washington.
Favorite Bob Dylan song?
"Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat."
If you had to pick one, piano or accordion?
Piano. Although accordion=chick magnet.
Favorite/least favorite band?
Favorites: Kimbra, Slavic Soul Party. Least favorite: Sleigh Bells, the musical equivalent of a botched home perm.
Last movie you liked/disliked?
Like: "Big Night." Dislike: "Jack and Jill." And why not?
Last video that made you snort with laughter?
Demetri Martin, "These Are Jokes." ("Probably the worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades.")
Favorite book you recently read?
John Lennon's Skywriting by Word of Mouth."
Last great meal you had?
Fried catfish and key lime pie at Flying Fish in Little Rock, Ark.
Food you hate?
Burger King fries. Back to the drawing board.
Favorite place to get a drink in Baltimore?
The hose in the backyard of my neighbor's house. Barring that, Bertha's.
Favorite and most loathed fashion statements?
Favorite: Duct-tape wallets; Loathed: Forever Lazy.
Favorite thing about Baltimore?
The Orioles are doing an admirable job at not sucking this season.

When you bring a baby home from the hospital, it's all "ooh's and awwww's" to any twitch or wiggle. You look at your new little addition for any spark, any sign that the little lump of cute-leach-ness begins to merge into the personality you can feel simmering beneath the surface.
And so it was with Dublin. The boy chuckled in his sleep from the get-go. CHUCKELED, like a knowing old man. He stared, as if casing us all out. I felt like he was studying us, like if he could grip a pen, he'd probably have been taking secret notes.
I could feel the awakening starting early, like he was trying to get the slip on us. But I'm a watcher too and I could see his moves. First came the sly little smile, then the following us with his eyes, and progressed to where we are at today, with the grabbing and mouthing everything.
A couple weeks ago the screaming started. Shrill. Stop. Smile. Shrill. Stop. Smile. This made me realize that he's just like my first born, Sonora… and I inwardly shivered "Gawd, this one's going to be loud like me too!" Poor Scott.
The Doctor says that a babies personality starts to show at 6 months, but I think it's a bit like an awakening. There are clues from the day they're born, letting us know what we're in for. I think Dublin is going to be a bit of a flirt and good with the ladies. I also think he's going to be sensitive and a music lover.
I wonder if anyone has ever taken a picture of a babies eyes, every day, for the first year of life. I bet that would be an interesting experiment. At what point would you see the shimmer of understanding staring back at you?? Things that make you say, "Hmmmmmm…."
For anyone who thinks that's an interesting idea, you might find this video interesting. It's an experiment done by Deb Roy, a MIT researcher who set up cameras all throughout his house and filmed his son for the first year of life to document the birth of his vocabulary.

Another one bites the dust
After MD5 last year, it's SHA-1 turn to disappoint us. SHA-1 isn't as good as expected - at 2^69 it's a long way from the advertised 2^80. I guess it's time to review your usage (direct or indirect) of the algorithm.
We're facing an endangered spece when individuals from a spece dies faster than they reproduce. We're sure facing this problem today with hash algorithms. Another analogy is the poor genetic pool, the fact that the SHA-2 family is related to SHA-1. So it's not clear (at least now) how much of the problem the SHA-2 algorithms (SHA-256/224 and SHA-512/384) have inherited.
Not much I can do myself for this problem :-(. Let's hope this news will encourage more people to look for new alternatives...
In the not much category I reopened the SHA-224 support suggestion for framework 2.0 at Microsoft. Please take a few seconds to vote for it. On the bright side support for SHA-224 is already available in Mono.Security.dll (for both Mono and MS runtime users). I'll also update Monodoc with the appropriate warnings...
Addendum: Thanks to the jackson specy for correcting my english ;-)

September 15, 2003
By Kate O'Rourke
Posted Sept. 1, 2003
Do you feel like you need more vaccine information to treat the dogs and cats in your practice? If you do, you are not alone. Many veterinarians feel this way, and the AVMA Council on Biologic and Therapeutic Agents agrees.
"We are in a place that we need more information. It's very hard to customize recommendations if you don't have accurate information," said Dr. Elizabeth Curry-Galvin, assistant director of the AVMA Scientific Activities Division, who addressed veterinarians on July 19 at the AVMA Annual Convention.
Guiding tenetsThe COBTA report on cat and dog vaccines, published in the Nov. 15, 2002, JAVMA, recommends that veterinarians tailor their vaccine recommendations to their clients' pets. Variations in lifestyles and related disease risks, and among individual vaccine products, make a one-size-fits-all protocol inappropriate.
For practitioners to do a good job, however, labels and adverse event information need improvement. Label information is defined as any information that is on the bottle label, package, or insert. Veterinarians and their clients should also be able to educate themselves via the electronic freedom-of-information system. This system allows the public to access information recorded during a product's licensure. In the future, clients and veterinarians may be able to access this via a Web site.
To address the issue, representatives of the COBTA, Department of Agriculture's Center for Veterinary Biologics, Canadian VMA, and the vaccine industry have held several meetings, trying to hash out a new labeling initiative.
The COBTA has been guiding themselves by a few basic tenets. First, only scientifically supportable statements and facts, not conclusions or recommendations, should appear on product labels. "You don't want someone making the decision for you. You want to be able to use the information to customize your recommendation," said Dr. Curry-Galvin, who is also staff consultant to the COBTA. Next, manufacturers need to be more forthcoming with information. "There is actually a lot of information that manufacturers are kind of sitting on that the veterinarians who are using the product don't get access to," she commented. And finally, labels should communicate appropriate expectations of product performance.
"At the end of the day, if the information there is scientifically sound, if there is more of it to guide you, and if you are not bound by some recommendation, then you can have a better expectation of product performance, and you can pass that along to your client," Dr. Curry-Galvin said.
Room for improvementThe council has several ideas of how to improve the system with regard to a number of standardization issues, including true name, directions for use, and efficacy and safety information.
A true name is a categorization of biologic components. "Currently, this does not accurately describe what is in the product," Dr. Curry-Galvin said. For example, you can't tell what fraction of a vaccine is modified-live versus killed. The council recommends developing meaningful standardized nomenclature and abbreviations for labels.
Second, instead of conclusions or recommendations, a label should state facts. For example a label could read: "The administration of a single dose at an age of 9 and 12 weeks in dogs was demonstrated to be effective, and safety was demonstrated in dogs as young as 5 weeks of age." Those are the facts, and veterinarians can use them to make their own decisions.
"You are a little less hamstrung, and yet, you have good information from which to make your professional recommendation," Dr. Curry-Galvin said.
In keeping with this, the COBTA also argues against including annual revaccination recommendations. Labels should state the interval following vaccination at which studies demonstrate immunity, but companies and regulators should not use this minimum duration-of-immunity interval to make label revaccination recommendations. They should state that a specific revaccination schedule hasn't been established.
In terms of efficacy information, the COBTA believes that providing details is key. For example, this could include a description of the challenge model and scoring system, the percentage of animals protected from signs, and the vaccine's impact on the animal's performance.
Efficacy claims can also be improved. Currently, the most common claim on a label is that a vaccine aids in disease prevention. "This means if you looked at vaccinated animals and unvaccinated animals in a study, there would be a difference in clinical scores, and if you looked at that difference, it would be statistically significant," Dr. Curry-Galvin explained. The problem is that veterinarians don't know the clinical relevance of that difference.
To improve the situation, the council recommends a common efficacy claim such as "the product stimulates immunity." Then, through the electronic freedom of information system, veterinarians could be provided with pivotal efficacy data, data that the manufacturer provided to the government to prove the product was efficacious, Dr. Curry-Galvin said.
The council also recommends including a common safety warning, pivotal safety summary, and greater details, for example, the minimum and maximum ages and numbers of animals in the safety studies, and any clinically relevant outcomes identified during the safety evaluation or in the field. Contact information, for reporting possible adverse effects, is also a must.
So when, if ever, can we expect these changes? According to Dr. Curry-Galvin, a proposed regulation is in the works, and the government will then allow a period for comment. She says a final regulation may be issued by 2004, and this would then be phased in over a period of years, most likely 2007. While this timeline may change, if the regulation does finally make it through, the label changes may affect vaccines not only for companion animals—they may affect vaccines for all animals.

To See What Others Miss
Take Time To Enjoy
As one day rushes into another like the leaves blowing in the wind and circling around until they are mixed together in a corner
I am here with you
I am the one who is touched by your friendship
You may never say a word or show me in any special way
I know it to be true and I experience it every time I am with you
May it be day or night
I have wonderful thoughts of us just having fun together
I hold no secrets
The pleasure happens each time you speak
I just listen and my insides know it to be true
They are often silent
But they have a voice
One of passion and pleasure
They don't dress up and get all high and mighty
They do go where ever you go
More often than not they never get any praise
Some people don't even think that I exist
I know otherwise
Because without me functioning constantly and doing my job so well
You wouldn't have anything that you acquired or desired
If I didn't do my job day after day
I make sure you are healthy and all your organs work together as a team
Now what happens next is just expected
I take a back seat and just deserve to be mentioned is that to much to ask
You insist on getting all the credit
You get in your moods and I never have a say
I keep going strong when you are tired and sleep
I do what I do because I know I make things work
I try to teach you more about life than you want to know
You often get mixed up in petty arguements and useless chatter
I remind you time to time with a growl
Please , please be good
Take care of your body that I worked so hard to make
We have a long life together and many friends to meet
As our family grows and all the members have a little bit of me
I feel confident life is so much more than meets the eye
Since I never get the attention I deserve
I often get yelled at because of my genes
My own family constantly complains
When their hair falls out
When they are too small
When your nose is too big or freckles are in all the wrong places
Just remember I keep you safe and always try my best
You are on with your life but I am deep in your chest and run through your whole body
I am like glue I keep you from falling apart
I am so much more than you will ever know
I will take a bow now because I am responsible for everything from your head to your toes
Fabulous. I think Nellieanna said it all. You did a great job here!
Your number is high on my scale, Dream On. This is one of your best poems- and that is saying a LOT! You capture so much truth and feeling in every line. You engage my mind to run along beside the lines and try to know the full scope of meaning you encompass. This one may be about the air we breathe, the blood that carries it to every nook cranny of our bodies - or it may be about the soul and awareness of life we get to have here on earth. If we didn't feel the "downs" - we couldn't feel the "ups" - so get to feel it all.
Thanks again for a lovely visit and peek into your sweet being.
Of course - it gets my vote and the main buttons pushed!
You're always on the money. God bless!
Awesome - thank you Dream On - you have such a way with words.
Unusual, and great as always.
Yes, I hear you, I am just a heartbeat away:) Nice poem!

Time for the Stars
by Robert A. Heinlein
You'd think if you were among the few surviving heroes whose efforts led to almost-unimaginable benefits for humanity that you might get a little respect once you made it back home. Maybe that's not what young Tom Bartlett expected when he signed up for a galaxy-wide survey of habitable planets, knowing that even if he returned, everyone he knew on Earth would probably be long dead. Maybe he didn't think that far ahead. He was, after all, still a teenager. But even in his wildest dreams, he couldn't have expected what he found when he returned from the near light-speed expedition chronicled in Robert Heinlein's 1956 Time for the Stars.
Tom and his identical twin brother, Pat, were among the mindreading pairs chosen by the nonprofit, nongovernmental Long Range Foundation for one of its very longest research projects. One expected to last, as Tom and Pat told their mother at the beginning, more than a century. Their mother understandably fainted at the news.
Not that she expected to lose both of her boys. One twin (Pat as it turned out), would stay on Earth. The other twin, Tom, would take flight on the nuclear-powered "torchship" Lewis and Clark, whose speed would approach that of light. According to the theory of relativity, as the speed of the ship increased, those on board would experience a slowed down version of time relative to observers back on Earth.
Except that those observers would include several telepathically-linked partners. What the foundation hopes to find is that the telepath pairs will be able to remain in simultaneous communication with each other despite the increasing distance between them and despite the difference in their experience of time.
What could that mean for Tom and Pat (as well as the other telepaths)? A proof that telepathic communication may be the only thing in the universe that can travel faster than the speed of light.
"Telepathy," the project's head psychologist informs them, "is faster than the speed of light. . ."
And she knows this ". . . because we measured it. . . we sent this one twin out to Ganymede – such an awfully long way. Then we used simultaneous radio-telephone and telepathy messages, with the twin on Ganymede talking by radio while he was talking directly – telepathically, I mean – to his twin back in Buenos Aires. The telepathic message always beat the radio message. . ."
Even to the young Bartlett twins, this sounds like hocus-pocus. But adventure beckons! And the money is great – with Tom's salary being banked by his Earth-bound family.
Although the Lewis and Clark has two clocks, one showing ship time, the other Earth time, it isn't until the clocks show a week's lag between the twins' birthday on Earth (as reported telepathically by Pat) and the day Tom's shipmates present him with a birthday cake that the time difference begins to feel real. Then a year on the ship translates into 12 years on Earth and time stretches ever further. On Earth, Pat marries, has children, and forms "Bartlett Brothers, Inc.," to receive Tom's accruing salary. An aging Pat passes the telepathic link to his daughter (Tom's niece), then to a granddaughter, then a great-granddaughter, until more than 60 years have passed on Earth, but only four aboard the Lewis and Clark, now suddenly recalled to Earth, its mission – irrelevant.
"Don't you see, Tommie?" says the ship's mathematician. "You (telepaths) proved that 'simultaneity' was an admissible concept. . . and the inevitable logical consequence was that time and space do not exist."
Tom's head begins to ache. "Then what is that we seem to be having breakfast in?" he asks. "Just a mathematical abstraction, dear," she answers. "Nothing more."
And the torchship and its crew pass into irrelevance, virtually ignored as they return to an Earth that has changed beyond their imaginings.
"We were going to be a short paragraph in history and a footnote in science books," Tom muses. "I decided that even a footnote averaged well and forgot it."
Tom can afford to forget fame. Physically barely in his 20's, he finds himself fabulously wealthy from his accrued salary, and more than a match psychologically for the extremely aged twin who had bullied him all his life. And confronted by his current telepathic partner, Pat's beautiful young great-great-granddaughter who doesn't find Tom at all uncle-like. Life and love, Tom decides, are the best revenge.
(Next week, Adventure classics concludes a July of science fiction adventures with Gregory Benson's Heinlein-influenced Tides of Light.)
