I have a cat of approximately 3 months and unfortunately it was attacked by a mature cat. It had a small wound in-between its hind limb. The wound has been eliminated however it now has a swelling around that part and as a result it is not able to walk properly, also it is not eating much. Please suggest me some way to get her well soon.
I have a female dog. She is 12 years old .now color of her teeth is changing. Tartar built on her teeth .I just wanted to know how to take care of her teeth?
Sir I have a golden retriever puppy of 30 days old nw it has fleas on it nw I afraid weather they will be gone by anti fleas powder or they will not.
I have an abandoned pigeon's new born baby. What do I feed him? How much to feed? And at what time intervals? And will it excrete by itself? Please help. Where can I get him rehabilitated?
I have a white rooster more than 2 years of age, since 2.5 months his right eye is swelling and has shifted his neck bone towards right and sometimes seizures occurs and his comb and wattle becomes black and it becomes difficult to breathe. Also tears comes in his eyes and becomes bubble and congestion type sound comes from his mouth. Vet has said he is suffering from new castle disease. Now seizures are very less but saliva comes in his mouth and becomes bubble and makes it difficult to breathe and it is very frequent. What should we do so that saliva stop covering the entire mouth.
My Pet Dog Name is Rocky. Today A other wild and Dirty Big Dog Injured My Dog. He bite his jaw very badly, A lot of bleeding happens After this I bathe my dog but bleeding not stop. please tell me what I do. Their is lack of dog doctor.
It is not unnatural to find some lumps or bumps on your dog's body, particularly when the dog is approaching its senior years. These growths are among the most common issues found in older dogs. But it can also happen to the younger ones. It is natural to be scared and have doubts whether it is a tumor or a lump or is it cancer. As a dog owner, therefore, you must understand the different types of lumps, bumps and growths on the dogs so that you can consult with a reputed veterinarian without delay.
1. Understanding the lumps, bumps, and growths: The veterinary doctor would refer to an unknown lump as a tumor in a general manner. This term do not indicate the malignity or benignity of the tumor. These terms typically indicate that an abnormal growth of tissues has taken place inside the body which has a shape or is a mass. There is no reason to panic in case your vet says that there is a growth or something of similar significance.
2. Getting the right diagnosis of the lumps on dogs: The dog owners are most likely to notice growth on the dogs while taking it for routine grooming or while petting it. When there is a new growth or tumor on the dog, it is safer to consult with the veterinarian who can carry out a thorough checkup. He would discuss the medical history of the dog which may include daily lifestyle, diet, signs and symptoms of illness and then a physical examination will be performed. It is important to note here that sometimes, the growth may not be noticeable and this is the primary reason why taking it out to an experienced veterinarian is crucial. The expert would be able to find visible masses while carrying out a routine examination.
3. Testing the mass or lump on the dog's body: When there is a lump or growth on the dog's body, it is important to carry out some tests such as complete blood count, urinalysis, radiographs revealing signs of metastasis and internal abnormalities, ultrasound, CT scan and certain advanced diagnostics.
In some cases when the lump can be easily accessed, the expert may recommend you to take your dog for a fine needle aspirate which is performed by inserting a small needle into the mass and drawing back the syringe. A little amount of tissue gets accumulated in the syringe which is then tested to determine the character of the lump. When the fine needle aspirate test is not effective, usually a biopsy is carried out under general anesthesia or mild sedation where it is cut out surgically or the entire mass is removed following surgical procedures.
Why do some vets recommend complain and ice cream for lactose intolerant dogs, to control yellow vomit with froth? Will giving such milk-based products, not worsen the situation?
Depression in humans is well-known and well-documented, but depression in dogs is less known and studies have not been extended up to a deep level till now. As we say dogs are better known as "humans", it is natural for them to feel low and depressed at times. Some of the dog owners must have noticed that all of a sudden their dogs start acting in a way which is very unlike them. Sometimes, they find places to hide constantly or are spotted to be sleeping all day long.
The reasons for such depression are more or less the same in every species and can be interpreted as the following:
- Abusing: Just like humans, dogs get psychologically affected by the way their owner treats them. If you abuse your dog in a way in which it was not raised up, it is sure that your dog will slip into depression and in a few cases, might display some signs of aggression too.
- Critical depression: Critical depression occurs due to some changes in the dog's body. Chemical imbalances may provoke certain behaviors; one of them could be depression. In such situations, it is recommended to take your dog to a Veterinarian in order to seek professional help.
- Grief: If your dog's companion or its known faces drift away, it affects the dog's behavior massively and may result into depression. This is because with time, the dogs develop strong emotional bonds and it gets hard for them to handle themselves in their absence.
- Aging: Aging is another reason behind your dog's depression. It is very simple to know and understand too that your dog will not be as energetic as it was in its young days. Also, sometimes sensing that their lifespan is about to end may lead them into depression.
How To Deal With It?
By being compassionate, as most of the times your dog may feel depressed because of the treatment you offer to it. They always want to be loved and adored by their owners and this cures everything unnatural happening with them. Try to play with them whenever you come back home, feed them gently, run your fingers through their fur and be extra attentive. All of these will enlighten their mood. Alternatively, you may try out other methods like going out for a walk twice a day, let it socialize with others in the park, let it feel loved more than anything.
For critical depression and grief, it is better to take recommendation from a Veterinarian. Try being patient with your dog about everything. Not all dogs recover rapidly. Hence, before snapping at it again, give it some time and don't pressurize it for anything that comes from its master affects it the deepest. For more comfort, you may bring a new pet which would be its companion for the entire day. Be cautious about the situation and selection. Sometimes they become envious due to such occurrences. Make sure they both get along well.
Osteoarthritis is related with genetic predisposition, inherited problems or defects in bones & joints. This painful condition often requires veterinary pain killers, supplements which protects bones and joints, scientific measures like controlled exercise, swimming & physiotherapy under the veterinary medical supervision. As pollution related features can bring such disorders causing free radical damage, this problem can be managed and a quality living for the pets can be provided with the application of advanced medicines like glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, MSM, micronutrients ete. Many commercial diets are available which can nourish pets skeletal system effectively and a good plane of nutrition can guard a pet from gaining extra body weight which aggravates osteoarthritis. A perfect dietary and lifestyle management therefore is highly essential for combating such painful disorders.

How durable is vac-formed plastic?
Will the helmet rear be a one piece cast, or a multiple part?
I'm concerned that the sheer size of the helmet rear will be too much for the casting material when you suck the air out.
Now on to mandolore's comment. I think he will be ablet pull these on a single sheet as long as he has nothing else on the forming table. I know stormtrooper ab plates, back plates, and boba fett backplates are done in single pulls. This is a lot smaller in terms of space on the forming table, it's just more vertical. I think if he heats the plastic well enough it should be fine.
Yeah, I thought about this too, and was afraid of the plastic tearing at the highest point. I realized however, that the heated plastic stretches and in spots of the plastic that arent being used would become thinner because of the stretching. Im sure that it will be fine, I plan to use .80 thick plastic, or should I go for something thicker?
I need a consensus..
I was thinking about the hand guards, and realized that in all the reff pics from the game, the hand guards look like they just put a blob of grey over it. Becuase of that, I was wondering if I should make them standard TK from ANH, or clone hand guards. What do you guys think? Im leaning more towards ANH version only because the DT is from that general era of the empire. Would make more sense, yet, a majority dosnt cause most of it is clone!
My personal (and mostly random opinion) is to stick with the ANH. I would imagine that the game designers, though referencing old dark forces pictures, probably wouldn't have paid attention to the hand guards.
The Dark tropper Phase two in DF was essentially stormie armor (with minor differences), so I would just go with that.
I concur, ANH hand plates.
Lookin good, Chris... Great work...
After looking at the SS a few times and the shape of the gray handguard. I'd go with clone handguards.
Your doing a great job, keep up the good work, the Helmet is looking kick-***......
Thanks guys!
I have been wroking on the guants for awhile now, the hardest part being getting these dang boxes to cut and look good at the same time. I managed to cut out the boxes, all evenly spaced with the accurate amount, 12 boxes in total. I just need to gett some stronger files, instead of my puny, nail files which I still have from my Jango helm project. Thats it for now, im probly gona get some more MDF and start the second half of the guant and start the hands and biceps...
(Who's watching Fox, and still wonder's why Anna Nicole died like 10 minutes away from him...)
Well, heres just a quick blurb.
I havent worked as much as I would have liked to for the past few days, been really busy. Right now, the guant top half boxes are cut and ready to be attached, just trying to figure how to level the boxes so its relatively flat to the guant. I think I may just sand the center portion so that it can just lay there. Im gonna also try to start the second half tonight as well.
Good luck with your Gauntlets, I would not even try to make a set of them just yet. I'm getting mine off another Mando, just waiting for them to arrive.... any how just take your time and i'm sure they will look good. Can't wait to see a pic of them.......
I was down this weekend to go check out TubaChris's suit, its definately turnin out great.
I have been busy yesterday, but managed to work on the top half for a bit. Its pretty much done minus the small areas I need to re-fill with the durhams. I was gonna post pics last night, but wasnt able to. I will though around noon. Gonna start the bottom half later today. I love half-school days.
Well, here it is. From a picture standpoint, its done as far as the look is concern, really, I just need to do a little more durhams work and some sanding. Other then that, I just to drill holes on the inside of the boxes so that the vaccum can pull the plastic into it so it appears better. Its not perfect however, but thats how we get better...
Ah ha! First piece of the hand armor! ANH version of course...
I guess we finally got those rectangles figured out, hehe. How long was it? Dont worry, im not telling. Lookin good dude, be down this weekend to check it out further.
Yes we did, thanks to t_bone9600 for helping me get that squared away. I made up the hand molds, left and right, one is sanded, other is waiting to be. I just need to get some thin wood to elevate the details on them, and they should be ready for casting. I imagine if they are decent enough, I can offer them to some of you guys with TK's if anyone may need them. I also started the 2nd half of the guant, shouldnt be too long before thats done. Thats it for tonight.

Barack the Magic Statesman
posted at 2:53 pm on October 14, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
Thank goodness we have such an eloquent spokesman for America's foreign policy! At last, we see the brave new world of hope and change wrought by Barack H. Obama. (And it has such people in it.)
Now that he has, for all practical purposes, taken off the table any military action against Iran — which all now agree is indeed developing nuclear weapons, along with long- and medium-range ballistic missiles to deliver them anywhere in the world — Russia is finally coming around to the sort of broad, sweeping sanctions that could produce a meaningful change in Iran's behavior:
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned major powers on Wednesday against intimidating Iran and said talk of sanctions against the Islamic Republic over its nuclear programme was "premature".
Via the brilliance of the One and his mind-numbing rhetorical ability, his charm, his willingness to throw the goal of spreading democracy and liberty around the world into the dustbin of Obamunism, and his rejection of American exceptionalism, he has achieved what eluded two previous administrations — one Republican, one Democratic… clear, specific, harsh, and biting sanctions that can only shake the nuke-loving mullahs to their very cores:
"There is no need to frighten the Iranians," Putin told reporters in Beijing after a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
"We need to look for a compromise. If a compromise is not found, and the discussions end in a fiasco, then we will see."
"And if now, before making any steps (towards holding talks) we start announcing some sanctions, then we won't be creating favourable conditions for them (talks) to end positively. This is why it is premature to talk about this now."
It turns out Obama's choice of Hillary Rodham Clinton Rodham as secretary of state, a.k.a. the Mouth of Obama, was absolutely inspired; she has turned out to be a gem, a diamond. (A diamond who throws the occasional lamp; but you can't expect the superintelligent and supercompetent to abide by rules of decorum written for We the little people.) Her tough, no-nonsense negotiating skills and pleasant, sunny demeanor have blessed the One We Have Been Longing For, leading to a Russia that now listens to America and shows tremendous respect for our needs and desires (and for our top government officials):
Putin, who many diplomats, analysts, and Russian citizens believe is still Russia's paramount leader despite stepping down as president last year, was speaking after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Moscow for two days of talks….
Clinton failed to secure any specific assurances from Russia on Iran during her visit, leaving her open to criticism at home that she had not received anything from Moscow after earlier U.S. concessions on missile defence….
Clinton said she would have liked to have seen Putin but that their agendas did not coincide. Putin left for a trip to the Russian Far East and China before her arrival in Moscow.
She has given him the tool he needs to excavate mountains of ill will left behind by the previous regime, anger, misunderstanding, and hopelessness that soured Russia on working hand in hand with us on sanctions. Now that the dross has been cleared away by change we can believe in, and the Millennium of Revelations has finally commenced, everything is falling into place.
It's no wonder that the One received the Nobel Peace Prize — it was perhaps the most justly earned such award ever! (Only those given to Woodrow Wilson, Le Duc Tho, Yassir Arafat, Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore are even in the running.)
The world (outside the United States) loves him unconditionally, just as they loved the greatest figures of American history, from Michael Jackson to Mickey Mouse. What a change from the ogre we used to have, who the rest of the world merely feared and respected:
On the contentious issue of missile defence, which has divided Russia and the United States in the past, Putin said he hoped the United States would not renege on its promise to scrap plans for an anti-missile system in central Europe….
Putin said however Moscow "feels no euphoria" about Bush's successor Barack Obama's promise to roll back the shield plans.
"We treated this decision with reserve, calmly," he said. "In any case, the country's leadership accepted it with understanding and gratitude. We believe this was Obama's right and courageous decision."
I can only feel profound gratitude that so many conservatives and Republicans were big-hearted enough in 2008 either to vote for Barack Obama directly, or at least to throw away their vote by pulling the lever for Babar or writing in Ron Paul. If it hadn't been for them, who knows? We might have been deprived of the most transformative figure in all of American history.
Bless you, Christopher Buckley and Colin Powell! We could never have accomplished all this without your help.

Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology held its first annual pre-doctoral (graduate) student retreat at the Mount Washington Conference Center on Sunday, October 28, 2007.
The retreat was arranged to engage students involved in both the National Science Foundation sponsored Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship—or NanoBio IGERT—and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) sponsored Interdisciplinary Graduate Training in Nanotechnology for Biology and Medicine—or NBMed Program. Four faculty members affiliated with INBT presented their research during the morning speaker session. Speakers from the School of Medicine included Douglas Robinson, assistant professor of cell biology, and Jonathan Schneck, professor of pathology. Presenters from the Whiting School of Engineering included Hai-Quan Mao, assistant professor of materials science, and David Gracias, assistant professor of chemical & biomolecular engineering. Terrence Dobrowsky, a student in the HHMI program, also presented.
Denis Wirtz, associate director of INBT and professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, began the retreat by welcoming eight new students into the INBT's graduate training programs. There are 15 students altogether in both programs, and they come from the departments of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical an Biomolecular Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Biology.
About 45 students and faculty participated in a lively question and answer session in the morning, a chance to network during lunch, and further discussion during the afternoon poster session. INBT wishes to thank education program coordinator Ashanti Edwards for making the institute's inaugural retreat such a huge success.

I bought this just to do some cardio in the house since I don't like being out in the cold. It was a great price compared to some of the other workout jump ropes. My only qualm with it is that it's so light. I know it's a speed rope but a little more weight couldn't hurt.

its a great product, hoping to get back in shape started with this. the only issue i have with it is that it was rolled into a coil when it was packaged and shipped and its hard to jump because the coil tends to stay in as you are using it causing it to trip you up

Typical jump rope. The only flaw I can find on it is that it's sent coiled up (of course) and it tends to want to stay that way. Just step on it and pull the handles, it will loosen itself up. Otherwise, it serves its purpose. :)

In Australia, they call the beginning of summer the silly season.
As a general rule, I enjoy silly things. So a whole season of it? Sure, sounds cool to me.
It makes sense – the build up to Christmas and the New Year is filled with parties, long lunches, Christmas hams, champagne and sausage rolls. And to make matters more exciting/distracting, the weather is just starting to get good. I mean, it's the beginning of summer combined with Christmas. Totes silly, right?

Care of reptiles
The Australian Museum keeps a variety of reptiles including turtles, crocodiles, skinks, dragons, and pythons.
Authority to keep Australian reptiles in captivity
The Australian Museum is a licensed exhibitor of vertebrate animals. The keeping of reptiles privately as pets is regulated by state and territory agencies and it is illegal to take any protected species from the wild without a permit from an authority. please see the Resources for keeping live animal page and follow the links to your relevant authority.
Reptiles are often seen as relatively inactive compared to mammals and birds, however they are 'active' both in captivity and the wild in their own right. Most reptiles simply move on a different time scale compared to their endothermic counterparts, for example a mammal or a bird may move or display a behaviour ten to fifty times in a single waking hour. A reptile on the other hand may move only once or perhaps five times in that same hour. Reptiles are therefore not limited in the behaviours they will do or the travel they undertake, they simply have a longer time frame. This comes down to how they acquire, maintain and use their energy which is considered in the 'Environmental conditions' section below, however this is a point worth considering when the captive environment of a reptile is being designed.
The natural history of each species is researched thoroughly to ensure that the enclosure is not only large enough but also features the important environmental features that the species would utilise in the wild. For example, arboreal and semi arboreal species such as Diamond Python, Morelia spilota spilota, and Central Bearded Dragon, Pogona vitticeps, require branches for climbing as both species feel safe off the ground and like getting close to the heat source.
Other enclosure furnishings include, rocks for lizards such as the Gidgee Skink, Egernia stokesii, to wedge themselves between as well as other more terrestrial species of skink to hide beneath. A series of hide boxes are also used at the Museum to provide a safe retreat for reptiles. Plants and natural substrates are also used to make the exhibits appear natural and appealing.
Once the needs of the animal are researched the enclosures are designed and constructed of strong plywood and pine framing by museum carpenters to ensure that the enclosures are both safe for the animals, keepers and visitors and secure to prevent unauthorised access and animal escape. An important design consideration is safe access for keeping staff that allow easy access to capture the animals for health checks, remove faeces as well as uneaten food and maintain the exhibit.
Environmental conditions
Humidity is kept low for desert species, but medium to high for species such as the Eastern Blue-tongue Lizard, Tiliqua scincoides scincoides, and Diamond Python, Morelia spilota spilota, which inhabit forested areas of eastern Australia. Although humidity can be beneficial for some reptiles, too much humidity can create damp conditions which favour mould growth which can lead to health problems. This is best combated by providing adequate airflow to the enclosure, therefore the large enclosures that house reptiles have large vents at the top of the enclosure.
Reptiles are ectothermic, which means that the animal receives energy from the environment and maintains a preferred body temperature by warming up (moving towards a heat source) or cooling down (moving into the shade). In captivity it is important to provide a thermo-gradient, which is achieved by providing a heated end and an unheated end, which allows the reptile to warm up and move away from the heat source once the preferred body temperature is attained.
Heat is provided at one end from a 160watt Mercury Vapour Spot-light for arid and tropical species and with 60 to 100watt ceramic heaters for cooler temperate species. A thermostat is used to ensure that once a set temperature is reached the heat source switches off, this prevents the reptile from overheating as well as reduces the risk of fire.
Lights are on timers so that the animals are provided with 8 to10 hours of light a day (the number of daylight hours is increased and decreased based on the time of the year). Full spectrum (UVA and UVB) lighting is important for proper skeletal growth and to prevent metabolic bone disease, particularly in dragon lizards and turtles.
Reptiles have incredibly varied diets from live crickets and cockroaches for the Bearded Dragon, Turtles and Crocodiles to snails for the Blue-Tongue Lizard. A typical monthly shopping list for the Australian Museum's reptiles includes the following:
- 1 apple
- ¼ cauliflower
- ¼ broccoli
- ½ sweet potato
- 2 carrots'
- 1 bunch of boc choy
- 4 strawberries
- 40 crickets or cockroaches
- 1 snail
- 400g kangaroo mince
- 100g whitebait fish
- 50g bait prawns
- 5 'pinkie' mice
- 1 adult rat
Kangaroo mince, processed for cat and dog food is used as a good high-protein and low fat food source for lizards, turtles and crocodiles. The vegetables are cut up every few months, mixed together in a bucket then portioned out into equal bags of 'Veggie Mix', which is stored in the freezer and thawed and fed to turtles and lizards. Every two weeks the food is supplemented with a vitamin and calcium powder which ensures proper nutrition as well as promoting skeletal development and to prevent metabolic bone disease.
Does the Australian Museum feed live rats to pythons?
The short answer is no. The long answer is that snakes such as pythons require feeding every two to four weeks. Frozen rodents (including pinkie and adult mice for crocodiles and adult rats for pythons) are delivered to the Museum and stored in a freezer until required to be fed out. When needed, the rodent is thawed and brought to room temperature before being presented to the python. This is done for the following reasons:
- It is illegal to feed a live vertebrate to an animal.
- Rats bite! Even a highly venomous snake can be injured and even killed by even a young rodent.
- In the wild live prey can be released and avoided if the snake or other predator believes it is too dangerous to eat, in captivity however, it can't escape the angry rodent.
- One of the main reasons people believe a snake should be fed live food is actually false, that is that predators "enjoy" hunting live prey and that it is somehow beneficial to their health and welfare. This is inaccurate since snakes rarely chase down prey and almost always wait patiently to ambush animals, thus using minimal energy.
- Freezing rodents kills any possible parasites, thus ensuring the health of the reptiles they are being fed to.
- From a time and cost standpoint it is much more effective to keep 100 rats frozen than it is to keep ten rats alive, this is especially true since captive animal institutions need to provide as good captive care (including behavioural enrichment) to live food as for any other animal being held.
All reptiles need to drink. Water dishes are provided for a few days a week for arid species and ad lib for other reptiles. Central Bearded Dragon, Pogona vitticeps, enjoy a monthly soaking in luke-warm water to maintain hydration and assist in healthy skin sloughing. The Diamond Python, Morelia spilota spilota, enjoys a swim in its small pond. Water dishes are cleaned with detergent, rinsed and refilled regularly.
Aquatic reptiles such as turtles and crocodiles over half of their enclosure filled with water, the remainder of the exhibit provides enough space for them to completely 'haul out' and remain completely dry. A filtration and heating system consisting of two large canister filters and two 500watt aquarium heaters maintains good water quality and temperature. The water is partially replaced every few weeks and bags of charcoal help de-chlorinate the water. Water is tested for pH, temperature, ammonia and nitrates levels.
Capture and handling
Growth information is recorded every two months to monitor the health of the Museum's reptiles, however before this can be done the animals must be picked up and restrained to be measured and placed in a cotton bag to be weighed. All of the lizards are more or less used to being handled and are often used for visitor programs so are very easy to handle.
Pythons are handled through the use of a snake hook, which take the first (head end) third of the python's weight allowing the keeper to pick up the last third of the body. Once the animal is picked up in this fashion it can be transferred to another enclosure, holding container or a cotton bag for weighing. A useful way to measure a python is to get it to move against a flat wall, once the head is at a known point along the wall you can mark when the tail is with a pencil and measure the total length later.
Turtles seem like easy animal to handle, however they have strong sharp claws and a nasty bite, making the only way to pick them up from the back of the shell over the tail. The, head neck and limbs are then free to inspect and the turtle can easily be measured and placed in a bag to be weighed.
Crocodiles, even young Freshwater Crocodiles, Crocodylus johnstoni, that are kept at the Australian Museum are difficult to capture and restrain. This is done by wearing leather gloves and quickly gripping the animal firmly by the back of the neck and base of the tail. It is important to secure the tail and body as soon as the head is secured as the crocodile will thrash and can hurt itself if not properly restrained.
The crocodile is then be placed in a bag, once inside the animal can be weighed then examined which can be done by locating and holding the head from the outside of the bag and with the other hand reach inside and securely hold the animal from the back of the head. Once the neck is firmly gripped the head can be released from the outside and the bag can then be gently peeled back to expose the animal for examination. The base of the tail is secured and the animal is rotated to examine the dorsal and ventral surfaces.
Crocodiles will happily open their mouth for it to be inspected by its keeper. The important thing to remember about crocodile jaws is that they have very powerful muscles that close them but relatively weaker muscles that open them so once they are held closed they cannot easily open their jaws to use them.
The reptiles at the Australian Museum are checked by a veterinarian every six months and are treated at a veterinary clinic if they show any signs of illness or injury. Good animal husbandry is the key to maintaining healthy animals in captivity however reptiles are known to be prone to certain conditions:
- Ulcerative Stomatisis (also known as Canker or Mouth Rot) a bacterial infection of the gums due to poor enclosure hygiene, early signs appear as swelling and hemorrhaging around gums. The condition can be treated by scraping away the mucus from the gums followed by rinsing the mouth with a 3% dilution of hydrogen peroxide and finally a course of antibiotics to stop the infection. Vitamin C supplements are advised in order to promote tissue healing. Improve hygiene in enclosure and review protocols. Reducing stress has also been shown to be beneficial in preventing such infections.
- Mites are parasitic arachnids, the main species of concern to reptile keepers is the Snake Mite, Ophionyssus natricis. These animals become established in collections due to ineffective (or the lack of) quarantine and husbandry protocols.Signs of mites include raised scales, tiny white specks on the infected scales (these are mite faeces). The mites themselves are small eight legged 'dots' that can most often be observed on enclosure floors. Routine use of mite spays and quarantining of newly acquired animals are controls mites.
- Ticks are parasitic arachnids that feed on the blood of vertebrates. The parasite can be found visually as a 3-12mm disk-shaped animal with its mouth parts buried into the host in easy to get to parts such as between scales, ear openings and between skin folds. Physical removal is the best option, this can be done by dabbing the tick with methylated spirits which will cause it to release and can then be removed using forceps. Ticks usually only occur with animals housed outdoors and the use of insecticides are not feasible. Regular inspections of all animals and quarantine protocols are the best preventive measures.
- Abscesses caused by bites or other injuries to the body that come into contact with hard surfaces, usually on the ventral surface. They can be diagoned as a hard lump beneath the skin. A veterinarian will need to make an incision and drain the liquid. This should be followed with a course of antibiotics.
- Various organisms such as Nematodes, Protozoans, Cestodes (round worms) and Trematodes (flukes) are internal parasites to reptiles. Signs include a drop in weight, body condition and lack of appetite and poor reproductive ability. Once the organism has been identified a specific medication can be prescribed by a veterinarian. Internal parasites can be treated through regular (monthly) use of wide spectrum worming medications such as Worm-Rid (Reptile Sciences®).
- Injuries caused by falls, burns, contact with physical objects and aggression between animals. These can be identified by looking for damage to scales, loss of tail tip and toes, these injuries should be examined by a veterinarian however all open wounds can be treated with an antiseptic such as Betadine.
- Sloughing Problems can occur from dryness in exhibit, lack of abrasive objects to assist sloughing, no access to water due to over-crowding or other health issue. This is identified by finding sections of unsloughed skin around tail, top of head and on toes. The condition can be treated by placing the animal in a water-tight container with 5cm of luke warm water until the un-sloughed skin has loosened.
- Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD) is a nutritional imbalance or a systemic illness such as renal, liver or thyroid disease. Signs include the inability to close jaws, postural abnormalities, bone fractures, lameness, muscle spasm, spinal curving and skeletal deformations. Treatment includes correcting husbandry practices and treating any pathological fractures. The condition can be prevented by supplementing the diet with fortnightly calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 and providing access to natural sunlight or full spectrum UVA/UVB lighting when kept indoors.
Behavioural enrichment
Behavioural enrichment is the management of the captive environment in order to decrease the predictability of captivity and encourage animals to exhibit natural behaviours. The benefits of 'enrichments' if executed correctly are that such programs can increase physical and mental exercise of captive animals, thus improving the health and well being of animals in captivity. Although most enrichment programs have been developed for birds and mammals; reptiles, amphibians and even invertebrates now have enrichment programs, with such programs only being limited to a keepers imagination and commitment. Based on encouraging natural behaviours, enrichment programs are important educational tools to demonstrate natural history concepts.
Enrichment for reptiles at the Australian Museum consist of rearranging the feeding schedule and modifying the diets over time to make feeds unpredictable, this prevents animals from becoming lazy, inactive and complacent. A simple non-feeding form of enrichment is a scheduled re-arrangement of enclosure furnishings. Moving rocks, logs, branches and plants in the captive environment provides new opportunities to explore, also by moving heating equipment, new basking opportunities are available when being kept indoors.

My name is still listed as "Guest_Grathor*" and I am still unable to sign in. Im quitting the sport and got a decent offer on my marker a day before this happened, its been near two weeks now and this is getting kinda ridiculous, it can't take 13 days to fix this and if it does take that long, I'd at least like to get an email explaining why my account effectively hasn't existed for the past 2 weeks.
The forums were reset to February of 2012 due to an update issue. TechPB was down for 10 days. If you created an account after February of 2012, your account does not exist but some of the content might.

Hey everybody. Well, I think I finally have my jumpsuit to the point where I am happy with it:) Could maybe be a few shades bluer, but considering I thought I had ruined it, I think its pretty good. THanx again for all the ideas & comments:)
Hey folks. Well, some of you may have remembered seeing pics of my suit progress a few months back. I had just finnished my new jumpsuit, and was pretty proud of it. Heres how it used to look.
Well, today I decided that the color was not quite dark enough, and not quite blue enough. I proceeded to re-dye the thing to improve it. Talk about stupid!!!!! :cry I used to much blue, and now it is darker than a prepro suit! :angry So I need a little advice please. What would happen if I use rit color remover on it??? Will it go back to white, or can I use like...a half package or something to just lighten the existing crappy dark blue??? Anyone do anything like this?? Geeze, I'm so mad I almost kidded a hole in my jet pack!!! Please LMK if anyone has suggestions,. Thanx
Well guys, thanx again for the suggestions. I tried running it throught the wash with rit remover, and it helped some, but still way too blue:( think I'll try it again & see if it getts better. what do you guys think...too blue right???

Joe writes:
Vince, here is the text of my post on Peter S site. I was disappointed in the quality of his article as I have much previous experience with his work and see him as the "David Baltimore of Risk Communication". If you could get him on as a guest you would enjoy the discussion. He reminds me of D3 in his ability to tell a story.
Regards, etc
Peter, while I have the greatest respect for you and have been to trainings by yourself and Vincent Covello in years past, I have to tell you that this article is very flawed both in the "facts" used and in the conclusions.
About 5 years ago I did the work to prepare my global organization for responding to a potential pandemic based on my concerns over H5N1, SARS and a few other pathogens. At that time I did the work to get as complete an understanding of the state of the science that I could achieve with my background in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Science. Within a few years the public discussion caught up with risk management trade's discussion on pandemics and we saw serious resources put into preparedness planning at the international, national and local levels. We have relatively robust systems in place and are working to improve the major deficiencies in prediction, vaccination and control.
The research and the researchers you are unhappy with have been an integral part in trying to get the answers risk managers like me need to make good decisions related to these preparation. Their emotional response to the criticism of a faceless unknown committee is very understandable to me. Their efforts to remain professional is to be praised and their lack of sophistication regarding risk communication seems to be something they are working to rectify.
I would argue that the Decide, Announce, Defend strategy you describe better describes the NSABB's approach than the scientists. And the target of their decision was not a few papers but the fundamental process of scientific communication among peers by publishing finds for peer review. Scientists value this in a way equivalent to the 1st amendment of the US constitution. To me their outrage is appropriate and reasonably targeted.
WRT the facts:
We know the 60% number is not accurate in the way you used it. It is the % of those who sought hospital care that died. The number of people infected is certainly much larger and there are good studies that indicate that this flu is currently in or near the typical flu Case Fatality range of 0.1%- 2%.
This flu strain is not exceptional in its lethality as you characterized it. Ebola, Nipah virus, HIV, Hep B, SARS, and many other pathogens are very similar to it or worse that it in virulence.
There is little mystery in how the 4 BioSafety Levels of protection are determined for a given pathogen.
1 = not a human pathogen,
2 = human pathogen that is not airborne transmissible, (e.g.,HIV, Hep B)
3 = human pathogen with life threatening disease that is airborne and for which we have treatment or vaccine (e.g., flu, yellow fever)
4 = human fatal pathogen possible airborne transmission with no known treatment
The BSL system had been incredibly successful at stopping lab acquired infections and loss of containment not withstanding unproven speculation about the source of H1N1 (note that it has an excellent reservoir in pigs where it experiences little evolutionary pressure)
These experiments are not as unusual as you suggest. The value in publishing them is in accelerating our ability to develop an effective treatment or vaccine. To build our defenses against a natural or unnatural outbreak. Their work is totally reproducible by any competent biologist with a supply of ferrets and virus (both readily available).
My view is the NSABB did not understand the history of research in this area, made a knee jerk decision to ban the details and were caught by surprise when knowledgeable people protested the impacts of their decision on all scientists.
Warmest Regards and please keep on with the business of improving our risk dialogs.

EH&S Manager
Peter Sandman responds:
Thanks, Joe, for your kind remarks about my work and your thoughtful ones about upcoming risk communication challenges. And thanks for sending me your critique of my Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News piece on the H5N1 publication debate.
I'm drafting a response to the latter, which I hope to have ready to post with your comment in a few days.
For the sake of clarity: I have posted three commentaries on this issue so far. (This Guestbook comment-and-response will be #4.) Here they are in chronological order:
"Bird flu risk perception: bioterrorist attack, lab accident, natural pandemic" (http://www.psandman.com/gst2012.htm#NSABB) – a Guestbook entry posted on January 19, 2012.
"The H5N1 Debate Needs Respectful Dialogue, Not "Education" or One-Sided Advocacy" (http://www.psandman.com/col/WHO-H5N1.htm) – the article TWiV discussed, really an email to Lisa Schnirring of CIDRAP News, posted on February 17, 2012, which she drew on for her article (http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/influenza/avianflu/news/feb1712meeting.html) of the same date.
"Talking to the Public about H5N1 Biotech Research," (http://www.psandman.com/articles/H5N1-1.htm) – the article you read, submitted to Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News [ital] on March 18, 2012. (The version the magazine published [make "version the magazine published" a link to http://www.genengnews.com/gen-articles/talking-about-h5n1-research/4067/] on April 15 under the same title is somewhat shorter.)
All the best.
P.S. I'm not sure whether it makes sense for me to participate in a future TWiV netcast or not. I'd be interested if the focus were on risk communication issues raised by the controversy … not the technical issues where the moderators are experts and I'm a novice. (Even if I were right – or more likely half-right – on a technical point, they'd still outrank me and could still out-argue me.) But given that the papers are headed for publication now, a conversation about the risk communication implications of the mooted publication debate would probably seem pretty peripheral to the TWiV audience, I think. Still, I'd be open to an invitation of the three moderators think it makes sense … and I won't feel slighted if they think the moment has passed.
Joe responds:
Peter, it is interesting to me as we continue this dialog (and now that I have read the actual paper discussed on TWIV) that it is a perfect example of how much people can disagree even when given the same facts!
I don't think the work that has created the ruckus is that different than similar work going on all over the world with a variety of organisms, many that I find much more concerning than H5N1. I must admit that I don't watch TV news so I may have missed some of the drama. My view at the time was that the researcher, Dr. Fouchier, created the problem by announcing to the media that "he had created the world's scariest virus" (assuming the facts I saw are accurate). I later heard him talk on the TWIV episode in Dublin and he seemed much more circumspect now that he has experienced some "live fire" media training. Now that I know he had to pre-mutate the wild virus to give it a starting chance to passage through the ferrets, I find the risk of a pandemic lower not higher than before. What he did actually proved just how high the natural barrier is between H5N1 and mammals.
There is a lot of research being done in BSL 3 and 4 labs that could be much more worrisome than this if it was not done with the extreme caution and rigid rules of the BSL 3 and 4 labs. Since one of my jobs is to coordinate with the safety staff that run the BSL 3 and 4 labs in the USA to allow our field service engineers to come out and repair our instruments in their labs I know just how seriously everyone takes these rules. When you say the virus is stored in a lab, that does not quite conjure up the reality of how they are stored in a double sealed container in an isolation system within at least two other isolation systems (BSL 4 labs live within a BSL 3 lab that usually are attached to a BSL 2 lab).
Has there been a lot of media coverage of angry scientists on this issue? I haven't seen it but would not expect to if it does not show up on the web. I ask because I would not characterize most researcher in the biotech world as dismissive of public concerns. These are in fact the same folks who volunteered to put on the Asilomar conference when folks were scared of genetic engineering in the 80's. I can't think of many branches of research that took what could have been considered uninformed fear more seriously.
One part of this debate that has baffled me is the focus on not publishing this kind of work when that is exactly what we need to develop realistic response plans. The irony of it is that I would bet the eternal box of doughnuts that there was much scarier work being done 10-20 years ago to weaponize smallpox that was never published because we were not supposed to be doing it. You and I did not have a need to know! They are not saying don't do the work just don't publish the results! All the (minimal) risk with none of the valuable gain.
PS. you would have fun on the TWIV podcast. Actually the discussion that would be very worthwhile would be on how to better communicate the need for vaccines to an ever more confused public. A great venue to reach the scientists and doctors interacting with people on this critical issue. The hosts spent many episodes trying to get the science clear on CFS and the purported links to the XMRV virus as it was breaking news the last 2 years.

Dear TWiV Doctors,
I have a suggestion for a listener pick of the week: Dr. Paul Offit's course on Vaccines from UPenn on Coursera. It starts in June and is free. It does not appear to be an technical course, but rather a general examination of the history, science and use of vaccines. As such it might of more interest to lay-people than people in the field. My assessment might be inaccurate, however, since I have not taken it (yet).

Requirements for Cloudera Manager
Cloudera Manager interacts with a diversity of entities such as operating systems, databases, and browsers. Cloudera provides information about which major release version and minor release version is supported, where available. In some cases, such as some browsers, a minor version may not be provided. After installing each element, upgrade to the latest patch version and apply any other appropriate updates. Note that the available updates may be specific to the operating system on which it is installed.
For example, you might be using CentOS in your environment. You could choose 6 as the major version and 2 as the minor version. These choices would mean you would be using CentOS 6.2. After installing this operating system, you would then apply any and all relevant CentOS 6.2 upgrades and patches.
For information on CDH4 requirements, see "Supported Operating Systems for CDH4" in the CDH4 Installation Guide.
For information on CDH3 requirements, see "Supported Operating Systems for CDH3" in the CDH3 Installation Guide.

Hi I am looking for some advice about sleeping and when should you think about moving from a crib to a bed, I am not quite sure when is too early or late to do this or should I just leave it up to my child to see when they are ready any advice would be great.

Paula heatley,
We co-sleep and have not used a crib with any of our children, however they have all shown general interest in their own beds around 4-5 years of age. For a baby who sleeps in a crib, Id say moving a child into a toddler bed with a rail, could be done around 3-4 years of age. My main concern would be them not staying in bed, So be prepared with how you will handle that situation. Do you stay with your child till they are asleep? I think it really depends from one child to the other. No 2 children will be the exact same with bedtime routines.
See what your child says when you mention changing into a bigger bed. And go with that.

"The invitations were beautiful. My daughter loved them. 2 were a little damaged upon arrival other then that they were awesome."
"This invite is adorable! The color scheme is perfect for my little girl's birthday. I was very impressed with the quality paper."
"Having a birthday party for my daughter at a local ice cream parlor. These invitations worked out wonderfully! They are heavier stock and better quality than I expected but I shouldn't be surprised, I have always been pleased with tiny prints! Also, as always, fast shipping!!"
"I was looking for a card for my daughter's ice cream social birthday. Usually I buy the cards and print them myself. This one was perfect. I adjusted the wordng and even though I proofed it and my husband proofed it, Tiny Prints called and emailed a suggestion. Absolutely amazing. We also added a note on the back that in lieu of gifts we collected for the Animal Refuge Leauge. We had an amazing day of over 32 children and lots of donations."
"This invitation was perfect for our 3 year-old's birthday party. The kids were excited about coming to the ice cream party, and all of the parents commented on how the invitation perfectly set the stage for the theme. And, it was nice that we received the invitation two days sooner than the date we were quoted. This was the first time we have ordered from Tiny Prints, and we will now will definately use them for all future invitations!!!"

"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."
"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"I love the design. I would have used purple in the outer edge area, if I knew I could. The printed text & line would have been better darker, though I do love the card...very special feeling. Card weight feels very good."
"I have ordered from Tiny Prints before. I like that I can customized my project. The quality and customer service, excellent!"
"I am very picky about business card styles, but I fell in love with this card when I saw it online, and even more when it arrived. The colors and simplicity; it really is beautiful. I got the glossy paper, and the colors almost shimmer. I always receive compliments on my card. I will be reordering."

A decade after launching the SAML standard and seeing its, shall we say, stately pace of adoption, it's wild to see real single sign-on and federated attribute sharing starting to take off for social networking, retail sites, online gaming, and more — not to mention seeing the US government starting to consume private-sector identities on citizen-facing websites.
Last week, we published a report on Outsourcing Identity Assurance. In it, I examine this "Government 2.0" effort, including the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), and its innovations around identity assurance, and the confidence you can have in the real-world verification of the identity you've been given by an identity provider. We're predicting you'll see new Web 2.0-ish ways to outsource identity verification in the coming three years, driven by use cases like e-prescribing, high-value eCommerce, and even online dating.

Hi and welcome...JJ
Just signed up
I think I'm going to like it here
sounds like a nice bunch.
my friends call me Nemo
just bought a S&W MP22LR
any one know anything about this one
hello.I am also new and looking forward to making friends and swapping info and war stories.
Recently got same. Was kicking around for another .22 to go with my Ruger MkIII; got the M&P because it handles just like my M&P .40 compact. So much like the same feel that it makes me smile every time I use it at the range. I'm shooting for pennies. The gun went thru a 500 round break-in period during which it had some FTE's. As you know, racking slide to fix it is easy and fast.
Now that it's had a few rounds it is nearly flawless. Hope the barrel holds out; I plan to shoot it a lot. Heard some things on the net about barrel issues. None yet. Will shoot a lot in first weeks to try to ID any faults.
Only annoyance is those pricey spare mags...

The Global Engineering Innovation (GEI) program was started by Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) to give Hopkins-trained engineers the chance to to solve the community problems of developing nations. Now it it's third year, INBT seeks new applicants for the next round of projects.
"As a part of GEI, I was able to collaborate with the staff of the Indonesian non-profit, Kopernik – some of the coolest, most passionate people I have ever met," said Sakina Girnary, biomedical engineering (Class of 2015). "The interactions I had with the warm and friendly locals felt truly genuine, and the work we carried out was the most fulfilling I have ever accomplished in my life"
INBT has obtained university funding to annually support two engineering mission teams composed of two to four students at a variety of international host sites. Teams will have two mentors: one from the Johns Hopkins faculty and one from the host site. Together, they will develop budgets, timelines and project plans to address a problem identified at a host location.
Once teams, mentors and challenges are defined, the team or team leader will travel to site to further evaluate the challenge and design constraints. Returning to Baltimore, the teams will meet to further research the challenge and brainstorm potential solutions. The Global Engineering Innovation program gives Johns Hopkins' graduate students and select undergraduates an opportunity to investigate and tackle engineering challenges in the developing world. The JHU School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS) will be consulted so that students will be aware of the social and political atmosphere that may impact utilization and potential distribution of the engineering solutions.
Applications are now being accepted for Global Engineering Innovation projects designed to give Johns Hopkins' graduate students and select undergraduates an opportunity to investigate and tackle engineering challenges in the developing world. Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology has funding for five additional students to join a team working on a Fish Dryer and Rice Harvesting machine for Rural East Java, Indonesia. The team is mentored by Professor Jennifer Elisseeff and partnering with Kopernik, a non-profit that balances a philanthropic and business approach to distributing technology in last-mile communities around the world. The team will have to build prototypes to be tested at the end of this summer in Indonesia.
To be eligible to apply, undergraduate and graduate students should be public health or engineering majors (other majors will be considered if a fit is evident based on application material). Students available this summer are particularly encouraged to apply.
To apply for this unique opportunity, go to this link for application instructions and forms. After the new team is defined, they will immediately start contributing in the development of the prototype to be tested this summer. If the test is successful, potential avenues of translation will be investigated with advisory board members with relevant experience.
If you have additional questions, please contact Makesi Paul (email@example.com), Yunuscan Sevimli (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Sakina Girnary (email@example.com), for more information on the application process.
For media inquires regarding Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology or its programs, centers or faculty experts, contact Mary Spiro, Media Relations Director, at email@example.com or 410-516-4802.


text: 1st half: Sheed starts out working the post, airball, turnover, miss. Then he hits a pair of triples. Later, he does get us a basket by giving the ball up from the post to a cutter. Then later, he does score in the post, and hits a short jumper later. And another triple. Did his post game help us any? Well, it got us in the right mind set. Tay came on to do some good damage in the post. And, of course, just as important, all this trying to go inside meant few fast break ops for Dallas. Defensively, we made them miss 16 times in a row starting from shortly before Maxiell came into the game (Dyess got his 2nd foul with 4 minutes left in the 1st quarter) to well into the 2nd quarter. We went up to a 26-17 lead. Pretty much all of it went away though due to us letting Hayes play, in a game where he has no place being. If you can't guard anyone, you should not be in the game. Hayes did hit one 3. But who knows, just maybe whoever took his minutes could have made a bucket too. For certain, they could not have done any worse defensively. Dallas attacked Hayes from the moment he entered the game, and it scrambled our defense into non-existance. Tay came back in for Hayes and we ended the half with a decent run and are up 6 at the half. This is a low scoring game, as Rip has not scored yet. In all, holding Dallas to 38 points in the half is some pretty good D. Stuckey came in with 2 minutes left in the 1st quarter. He missed a couple of outside shots. He drove in a lot with mixed results. Not a lot of scoring. But Dallas was not hitting any shots while he was in for his first 5 minutes. he can play some good D. Amir Johnson joined the subs to start the 2nd quarter. But Amir sat with 3 fouls just 3 minutes into the quarter. Not good, but again, Dallas did not score a bucket while Amir was in so it was not all bad. (Although, we did get into the penalty way too fast, and it hurt us later in the quarter.) Billups came in for Rip shortly into the 2nd quarter, and played shooting guard while Stuckey continued to play the point. Afflalo did play some minutes later in the quarter though. (I think about 4 minutes in all. I don't think he took a shot.) Good game so far. I predict we will not see Hayes in the 2nd half. 2nd half. Well, Hayes did play, not that it mattered that much. We had complete control of the game to go into the 4th quarter. Anyone else notice who was out there during that 10-0 run to end the 3rd quarter? Afflalo. Nice to see him first guard off the bench after a first half where he did not enter until late. Anyway, Hayes did not do too bad defensively in the 2nd half, or maybe we just found him better matchups. And he hit some shots. Stuckey just continued to drive in again and again. It resulted in a career high 11 points for him. Nice game overall on offense, and good solid D. Oh, and the one drive, he came from the right and layed it up right over Nowitzski. Stuckey got some serious talent. Yeah, Amir did not get in the rotation in the 2nd half. And this despite us having a big lead to enter the 4th. Not a good thing. I'll let it pass if its just once. In all, our four main youngsters we want to see get minutes, got minutes. Lots of them. Can't complain majorly on that ground today. Maxiell is missing his outside shots all the sudden, but just like last game, he did plenty, especially on defense. When called upon to guard Dirk or Josh, he did very well indeed. Maxiell also tore up on the boards and got some slams. Amir did get quite a few bounds, and a block, while in. Rip put together a bit of scoring in that 3rd quarter, all of his 10 points I think. (Did he play any in the 4th - don't think so.) Rip also had 7 assists. Rip was scoreless in the first half, but I don't think he took that many shots either. Who was shooting the ball then? Some guy named Sheed. He burned Dirk early and often in the post in the 2nd half. Lets call the first half a warmup for him. Between Tay and Sheed, we had plenty of postup power today. Billups had a so so game. Of course, he did not play in the 4th quarter as Stuckey finished out this blowout win. Fabio did look pretty active on D. His drive in looked great. Considering he sat the whole game until garbage time, hitting his 3 try impressed me. I see Murray was dressed? I hope this does not spell some kind of trouble brewing. (No Brezec)(Trade maybe?) To those who think Stuckey is not a point guard just because he drives in a lot. Hey, as a point guard, you do have to establish your offensive game. Once, if ever, the other team stops your game, then you pass off. I would not worry about Stuckey. He seems to pass the ball and pass it well whenever someone gets open under the basket. GO PISTONS!!!!! To answer a question I just read: Dallas was trying to go inside, but we just would not let them. They ended up settling for outside shots, and even these were heavily contested. A darn good defensive effort. (If you leave out the bad stretch for Hayes in the 2nd quarter, it would have been one amazing game.)

Yesterday, I participated in one of the regular content planning sessions for us analysts on Forrester's IT Infrastructure & Operation's Research team. Similar to investment managers and their portfolio of stocks or bonds, we spent time making buy/hold/sell decisions on what we will research more, continue to research, or stop researching. Among the many criteria we use to make these decisions, like client readership, inquiries, or consulting, the strategic relevancy to IT is an important factor to consider. And there was some heated debate around research themes we may phase out down the road…
Enter the discussion on IT asset disposition – or the process of reselling, donating, or recycling end-of-life IT equipment. While every organization eventually has to dispose of its end-of-life IT equipment, it's long been an afterthought. And the data backs this up. Forrester finds that 80% of organizations globally use their OEM, third parties or a combination of the two for IT asset disposition. But when asked how important IT asset disposition is relative to other IT asset management processes, it's far and away the least important. As an indicator of this, I recently surveyed over 300 European IT professionals where 77% of respondents ranked IT asset disposition "less important" or "least important."
This begs the question, is disposing of end-of-life IT equipment really strategic?

I recently recorded a podcast with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the global pharmaceutical company, and their success story of implementing a PC power management initiative that is expected to cut energy costs by ~$1 million per year. While these savings alone should impress any IT executive – especially IT infrastructure and operations professionals who manage PCs – what I found so unique about their story came through my conversation with Matt Bartow, business analyst in GSK's research and development IT organization, who led this initiative. In particular, GSK is a great example of how "empowering" staff to innovate can industrialize IT operations leading to significant cost savings and green IT benefits.
GSK's success with PC power management is an outcome of the inspired management style advocated in Forrester's upcoming book, Empowered. By proactively calling on their employees to spur innovation, GSK tapped into one of their greatest inventive resources – staff, like Matt Bartow, who Forrester would consider a highly empowered and resourceful operative (HERO). But as Empowered explains, HEROes can't succeed without support from management. By initiating the innovation challenge, GSK's IT leadership not only identified HEROes in their organization but sourced innovative ideas at the same time. From there, the use of social media technology – in this case, using a wiki-type website with voting capabilities – made it simple for GSK staff to participate while giving them a "say" in the selection process.
So how exactly did PC power management become an IT priority at GSK?
Posted by Doug Washburn on August 12, 2010
As green IT plans persist through 2010, I'm starting to receive questions from IT infrastructure and operations professionals — particularly data center managers — about the use of cleaner energy sources (e.g. wind, solar, fuel cells, hydro) to power their data center facilities. So when Google recently announced its purchase of 114 megawatts of wind power capacity for the next 20 years from a wind farm in Iowa, I got excited, hopeful of a credible example I could refer to.
But as it turns out, Google will not be using this wind energy to power its data centers. . . yet. Despite Google stating that the wind capacity is enough to power several data centers, their Senior Vice President of Operations, Urs Hoelzle, explains that, "We cannot use this energy directly, so we're reselling it back to the grid in the regional spot market." I confirmed this in electronic conversations with two other industry insiders, Martin LaMonica (CNET News) and Lora Kolodny (GreenTech), who also covered the announcement.
And it's unfortunate since Google's $600 million data center in Council Bluffs, Iowa could likely benefit from the greener, and possibly cheaper, wind energy. But Iowa is a large state and it's likely that distribution of the wind energy is an issue since the Council Bluffs data center appears to be well over a 100 miles away from their wind farms several counties away.

Ah yes. We forwardthinking, enlightened, progressive zinewriting people are entitled to steal. It's OK--it's from The Man!
I'm surprised and saddened that among the community that wants to make the world a better place, this kind of thing is publicly encouraged.
Thats histerical! It's like a double negative that comes out to not stealing at all!
With the stamp thing: what about how they ink stamp over teh top of it? do they do that in your country?


text: So I assume now the decision re Worlds is Kovtun vs. Menshov and Gosviani vs. Leonova (Agafonova hasn't competed internationally all season, and wasn't even at Nationals, so I'd doubt they'd consider her now)? I feel like in some ways Menshov should get to go to Worlds after missing out on Euros where he really should have gotten to compete at, but Kovtun should be given the option to compete at JW if he wishes, it would only seem fair given how well he's been skating this season. Idk if it's too late to for that though. Guess we'll find out soon?

How To Ear Candle
The ear candling process begins by choosing the right type of candle for your needs. From materials, scents and colors, to shape, thickness and design, each candle offers unique benefits. Wallys recommends using ear candles that are as pure and natural as possible. Other supplies necessary for ear candling include a damp towel, scissors, a bowl of water, matches or a lighter, and a protective flame shield (an aluminum pie pan is commonly used). Wallys includes a protective flame shield in each package.
To begin, the subject should drape the damp towel over their head and around the ear to be candled, leaving the ear exposed. The subject should be sitting in an upright position. Having someone to assist with the ear candling process is recommended. Insert the candle into a hole in the flame shield and then place the candle in the subjects ear at a five to 10 degree angle. Light the end of the candle, allowing warm smoke to flow into the ear. After the candle burns down one to two inches, the ash should be cut, and this should be repeated approximately every two inches. Do not allow the candle to become shorter than four inches. When completed, remove the candle from the ear and extinguish in a bowl of water. More than one candle may be needed for each ear. A calming oil may be used to soothe the ear after candling is complete.

For students who seek to challenge intellectual boundaries and themselves
Honors students benefit from an interdisciplinary approach to learning that is supported by a team of faculty mentors who help to guide and individualize each student's path. They focus on areas that excite them—interests they wish to explore at a deeper level. Honors students learn the value of seeking out and working closely with mentors who guide the learning process. They take active roles in both scholarship and citizenship.
Students with a record of academic promise and leadership in high school are invited to join the Honors Program when they enter Lesley. Others are invited to join afterward on the basis of their academic record.
The Honors Program has several goals. It assures that intellectually ambitious students get to know and remain resources for each other through their careers at Lesley. They take two linked courses their first semester at Lesley as a group and take Honors seminars together later on. On- and off-campus cultural and educational activities (plays, concerts, discussion groups, etc.) bring them together more informally outside of the classroom.
Another important goal is to foster the relationship between students and faculty. In small Honors seminars and through Honors projects students get to work closely with faculty to deepen and enhance their knowledge, to form learning partnerships with faculty that will last through the college years and beyond. Apprenticeship and mentorship, proven to be central to future success, are at the heart of the Honors Program.

text: Cancer Resources Genetics and Cancer--Genetic Services: When, Where, HowIf cancer runs in your family, when do you need genetic services?There are many features that can be present in a family that would indicate a referral is needed for genetic services. The following is a general (partial) checklist of characteristics that may indicate an increased risk of familial cancer or a heritable cancer syndrome. The symptoms of genetic diseases may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis and a complete list of characteristics:Family History___ A family history of multiple cases of the same or related types of cancer___ One or more relatives with rare cancers___ Cancers occurring at an earlier age of onset than usual (for instance, under the age of 50 years) in at least one family member___ Bilateral cancers (two cancers that develop independently in a paired organ, i.e., both kidneys or both breasts)___ One or more family members with two primary cancers (two original tumors that develop in different sites)___ Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish backgroundWhere to find genetic servicesGenetic services are usually available in large hospitals or medical centers. The local phone book or physician directory may help you identify a genetic service provider in your area. Consult your physician for more information.The National Cancer Institute has a website available to search for cancer genetic professionals by geographic area. This Cancer Genetics Services Directory is a directory of individuals who provide services related to cancer genetics (cancer risk assessment, genetic counseling, genetic susceptibility testing, and others). The link is listed on the Online Resources page of this website.How genetic services can helpGenetic services can provide the following:Information about the significance of your family history in terms of your risk of developing cancer and the chance that you have a cancer genetic syndromeA diagnosis of a cancer genetic syndrome by physical examination and/or genetic laboratory testingDetails about the availability of genetic testing for cancer risk and the pros and cons of such testingInformation about how/why a cancer genetic syndrome occurred (in most cases)Details about the chance for the cancer genetic syndrome to reoccur in the family and individual relatives' chance of having and passing on a mutation in a cancer susceptibility geneRecommendations for the management and treatment of the cancer genetic syndromeSupport groups for the cancer genetic syndromeConnections to other families who have a similar, or the same, disorder

Topic: Spamassassin not working? General documentation missing...
First, a big thank you to Zhang, and everyone else working on this. This is a great project!
I just installed on Debian without a glitch, however, I do have one suggestion. Please provide some quick howto to activate some functionality that is built in, but "hidden" in some configuration files. It took me a good half hour to figure out where and how to get the disclaimer text to work...
Also, and more serious, The spam/virus scanner does not appear to work as it should. I do get a "X-Virus-Scanned" header on mail that leaves the network (good), but not on incoming (very bad), or internal emails (would be nice as well). And any spam headers are completely missing. I fear that spamassassin is completely bypassed or ignored somehow.... Where do I enable those?
Thanks, and please keep up this awesome project!
Get fast and professional support from iRedMail developers:
