- Texas A&M had only four free throws & six points total in the final 6:24 but held on due to its defense.
- UTEP was held to a season-low 32.8 percent (21-of-64) & was 0-of-12 on three pointers.
- It marked the first time since 2005-06 that the Miners didn't connect from distance in a game.
- Another factor was rebounding, which was in favor of Texas A&M (45-32). UTEP had more offensive rebounds (12) than the Aggies (11), with the margin being more of an indication of the shooting percentage than anything else.
at UTEP 87, Texas Southern 61 (12/29/13)
- Kayla Thornton poured in 23 points and UTEP used a huge second half to topple upset-minded Texas Southern, 87-61, at the Don Haskins Center on Dec. 29.
- The Miners led by five (34-29) at the break before unleashing a lethal full-court press that befuddled the Lady Tigers. The visitors committed 18 of their 26 turnovers in the second half, which led to 26 of UTEP's 53 points in the stanza.
- Kristine Vitola (12 points, eight rebounds), Chrishauna Parker (12 points, six rebounds) and Irene Gari (10 points, season-high seven rebounds) all joined Thornton in double figures.
- Cameasha Turner (nine points, four boards) and Stacie Telles (seven points, four rebounds) also got involved in the attack.
UTEP 88, Belmont 74 (12/21/13)
- Kayla Thornton turned in a virtuoso performance by setting career highs in points (36), rebounds (16) and blocked shots (four) to guide UTEP past Belmont, 88-74, inside Guillermo Angulo Coliseum in its final game of the Puerto Rico Classic on Dec. 21.
- Thornton's 36 points are the most by a Miner since 1991 and the third-highest total in school history. Holly Russ (40 vs. UTSA, 2/19/91 and 37 vs. Baylor, 12/17/91) holds the top-two slots
- She had 23 pts & nine rbs at the break, to help UTEP lead 49-26 heading into halftime.
- Belmont made things interesting by cutting that margin down to seven (74-67) with 2:50 to play but the Orange and Blue kept their composure.
- The Miners went 9-of-10 at the free-throw line in the final 1:22 to seal the win.
Georgia Tech 102, UTEP 77 (12/20/13)
- UTEP put up a good fight but ACC power Georgia Tech had simply too much firepower, as the Miners sustained their first loss of the year, 102-77, inside Guillermo Angulo Coliseum at the Puerto Rico Classic Dec. 20.
- Jenzel Nash (18 points), Kayla Thornton (15 points) and Cameasha Turner (career-high tying 14 points) keyed the attack for the Miners.
- Problems arose, though, in trying to slow down the Jackets' one-two punch of Kaela Davis (26 points) and Tyaunna Marshall (23 points).
- The duo teamed up for 33 in the first half, which helped Tech stake a 54-38 lead at the break.
- UTEP regrouped and played even (33-33) with Tech over the first 16 minutes of the second stanza. The Jackets, who used a full-court press the entire game, used a 15-6 push to account for the 25-point margin.
- Points in the paint (59-28), points off turnover (25-8) and rebounding (52-42) all favored Georgia Tech.
at UTEP 87, SE Louisiana 65 (12/15/13)
- Kayla Thornton posted her fifth double-double this season (16 points, 10 rebounds) to lead a quartet of players in double figures, and UTEP remained undefeated with a 87-65 conquest of Southeastern Louisiana on Dec. 15.
- Led by two (14-12) six minutes in before kicking it into high gear with a 24-3 run to blow the game wide open.
- Cameasha Turner recorded a career-high 14 points to buoy Thornton, with Jenzel Nash (14 points) and Kristine Vitola (season-high 13 points) also hitting double digits.
- Connected on 48.7 (37-of-76) shots from the floor, and shared the ball well with 19 assists.
- 32-7 cushion in points from the bench.
- Also enjoyed advantages in points in the paint (56-32), points off turnovers (30-21), fast-break points (19-4) and points off turnovers (30-21).
at UTEP 76, SMU 71 (12/7/13)
- Kayla Thornton (21 points, 10 rebounds) and Chrishauna Parker (12 points, 15 rebounds) recorded double-doubles while Jenzel Nash provided a spark off the bench with 19 points to help lead UTEP past long-time rival SMU, 76-71, at home on Dec. 7.
- The Mustangs, who were 8-1 entering the game, jumped out to a double-digit lead (14-4) six minutes into the contest.
- UTEP used a 31-14 run to carry a 35-28 cushion into halftime & extended it out to 47-2 with 15:29 to play.
- SMU wasn't done, though, especially not with Keena Mays at its disposal. Mays, who finished with a game-high 34 points, refused to let her squad go down without a fight. It whittled the deficit down to two (56-54) with 7:28 to play, but UTEP would not relinquish the advantage.
- Free throws (25-of-37) and winning the rebounding battle (47-45) proved vital, as did committing only 15 turnovers against a well-executed press by the visitors.
UTEP 80, at NM State 61 (12/3/13)
- Kayla Thornton (20 points), Chrishauna Parker (career-high 19 points), Jenzel Nash (14 points) and Irene Gari (10 points) all reached double figures in scoring to help power UTEP to an 80-61 road conquest of I-10 rival New Mexico State on Dec. 3.

at UTEP 92, Northern Arizona 43 (11/22/13)
- UTEP jumped out to a 25-point (45-20) halftime lead and didn't let up on the way to recording its largest margin of victory (49) ever against a Division 1 team in a 92-43 thrashing of Northern Arizona at home on Nov. 26.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Dudes mom
I agree with Doggiedad, up the training asap. Enforce strict NILIF, there are a number of threads on this or you can google it if you aren't sure what it is. It sounds like your male is or has stepped into the leadership role and you need to get that back.
Leerburg.com has some articles on being a leader you might find helpful. I'm not great on posting links or I would find it for ya. Or someone will read your post later and can help you out with those.
Good luck to you and I hope you keep us updated!
you need to do some serious training and socializing.
when you have guest put the dogs away or use that
time to teach the dogs how to "meet and greet". after
the training session put the dogs away.
if my dog walked into me because he wanted me to
move out of his way i wouldn't move. i would make
my dog go around me. now on the other hand i
see some humor in it.
We practiced manners (on leash) when people entered the house. When guest come into eat or visit we out them on place and they have to remain there until the guest call them over. We purposely make that wait to happen, we have to do this every time. We have found the dogs are like toddlers, you skip once and they will take that as an invitation to loose all manners! That saying "give and inch, they take a mile" must have been created because of shepherds...;-)
The chasing of cats....I can't give suggestions. Ours do fine with the cats, when they were puppy's we taught them to ignore the cats and would say leave it, it they paid to much attention to them. Leave it-command has saved us a lot of hassle. I am sure someone here can give you advice on this issue.
As far as the toy issues and aggression with each other....they sound (in my opinion) excited at times when they fight for attention, bored and frustrated the other times. I am NO expert....and have only had ours pups for a year. But when Millie is really excited, all drives up....she will jump on miles. We sometimes leave the long line on so we can correct her if she get to excited. When she was injured a couple of weeks ago, she could not open her mouth and get the ball! She was so frustrated. She has tons if ball drive and the fact that she could chase it, but not pick it up....she would snarl and growl at miles but was unable to bite him. We avoided allowing them to play ball for the time she was injured after that because we did not want her frustration becoming acceptable behavior. Other times we have noticed them frustrated is when they are bored and trapped....rainy days leave us very trapped, we go out for potty but can't play games is downpours. They get very bored and frustrated just like kids do. We have to keep them engaged with games, indoor tracking and puzzles. Again....others on her may have better ideas about what is going on! I can only tell you what we as owners have faced...I am not an expert, just dog owner that notices how much like kids these dogs are...I kind of apply what I have learned with parenting to the breed. GOOD LUCK. I hope someone gives you helpful advice and you can all live together peacefully indoors together!

Losing control
I have two gs and three cats. Unfortunately we have to keep the dogs gated in the kitchen because they constantly chase the cats. They are always jumping on us and visitors we come home from work or they visit. People don't like to be around our dogs because its no fun to be tackled by 100 lbs. We keep then crated during family holidays, which I'm sad about because i want then included. Also, they are always fighting. I thought it was the older female showing dominance but now it's the male who starts it most of the time. (Female is 2yo ava, male is 1yo zeik) Usually when we pet the female, he comes over to start a fight. Another thing i noticed is when we are standing in the kitchen, if we are in his walking path, he will just walk right into us and move us out of his way. Ive never seen it before. Very weird behavior. When we let them outside to play, they usually chase after each other and tackle each other in a playful manner or tug after the rope. Zeik will never let ava have toys. Especially inside. He **** near draws blood getting the toys away so now they cant have toys inside. I know we have been slacking on consistency but we are trying to get back into the swing of things. Any suggestions? And please no hateful comments. Asking for advice, not arguments

text: I really don't care much for the ring. And it's so very non-traditional that when my family saw it I had to explain what it was. (It's yellow mother of pearl crescent moon shaped butterfly "wings" with diamond chips for the "body"). They thought it was costume jewerly. He tried really hard to find something with butterflies, that he basically told me he bought the first one he found. I love him. I love that he tried to get something special since he knows I like butterflies. But people don't realize its an engagement ring. I've only been engaged a day and have gotten several "oh" reactions (not the good kind of "oh") when I showed them my ring. It's taking the joy out of it, especially when my own mother reacted that way. I ended up crying tonight because of it. He says I shouldn't care about what other people say and that he bought it because he wanted something different and special for me, but maybe he just hasn't learned in the years we've known each other how much I do care sometimes. And....the way it's designed it snags on everything with the "wingtips" because of how they remain straight, pointy, and exposed when I bend my fingers. So when it snags the one lower "wingtip" is then jammed into my knuckle and its already starting to bruise. I already can tell I won't be able to wear it to work as it will snag everywhere when I'm lifting patients and putting on and removing gloves, and shred my knuckle in the process. And it's hurting already. I told him how it made me sad that my family reacted that way to seeing it and showed him the bruising and said how it will make me sad to have a ring that I really can't functionally wear for the majority of my day, but I don't think he really understands. How big a spoiled bitch am I? I want to love it so badly, but right now wearing it really hurts and I don't see any way in which they could alter it to keep it from snagging and pressing into my knuckle. And I don't even know where we would find a wedding band to fit it (even my aunt said "you won't find anything to fit that ring"). And custom bands are $$$$$. I love him. I don't want to hurt his feelings. The ring is nice, it's special because he gave it to me for our engagement. However I want a ring that I can wear pain-free all day everyday, and not leave it at home since it snags at work. But most of all it's just not...me.

Well, crap. I don't wanna send my gun back to S&W. From the description in the recall link, it doesn't sound like much of a problem as long as you are safely handling the firearm. Thanks for the heads up though.
In case anyone hasn't seen this, S&W is recalling PPK and PPK/S pistols made since 2002 for a possible safety issue. Here's a link (if I can get it to work):
Well, crap. I don't wanna send my gun back to S&W. From the description in the recall link, it doesn't sound like much of a problem as long as you are safely handling the firearm. Thanks for the heads up though.
I'd always assumed that lowering the hammer on a live round with the safety off would result in a discharge if your thumb slipped. I'll have to take a closer look to see what would prevent this.Smith & Wesson has identified a condition that may exist in certain PPK and PPK/S pistols which may permit a round to be discharged without the trigger being pulled. When the manual safety is disengaged, Smith & Wessons Product Engineering Group has determined that the possibility exists in certain firearms that lowering the hammer may cause a chambered round to fire.
It's not clear to me how you lower the hammer without pulling the trigger though. The only other way is the decocker. That would be a bigger issue. Discharging rounds by snicking on the safety is a big deal.
Mine is the Interarms version so I guess that leaves mine out. What year did S&W take over Walther?
S&W didn't take over Walther. They were just granted a license to produce the ppk & ppk/s in the US after Interarms went belly up. I think they started making them here about 4 years ago.
I sent mine back on Monday. Hopefully it'll be back sooner than the last time I had to send it in for service.
Please keep us updated. I'd be interested in what they do to it.
I sent mine in this week. It was received by S&W today. I hope it's back soon and I'll provide an update.
After 11 weeks, I finally got my PPK/S back. Glad I wasnt in a rush for it.....
Mine came in yesterday. They corrected the "issue" and also polished the rail. Nice work, just took a long time.

Man charged with assaulting woman for hours
New London — Police arrested a man Thursday who they said repeatedly assaulted a woman before fleeing the scene.
William Diaz, 44, of no certain address, was charged with violation of a protective order, third-degree assault, second-degree burglary, first-degree reckless endangerment, second-degree strangulation and third-degree criminal mischief.
Police said they responded to 44 Franklin St. at 5:35 p.m. for a report of a domestic dispute.
Upon arrival, police found an open, unsecured apartment. At the time, they thought an abduction had taken place. Police, however, were able to find the 42-year-old victim a short time later.
The victim said Diaz had unlawfully entered her apartment and began to assault her over a period of several hours and fled the scene prior to the police's arrival.
The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment of her injuries.
Diaz was found nearby walking on the street and was arrested. Police discovered he had an outstanding warrant for an Oct. 19 incident that charges him with violation of a protective order and interfering with an officer.

2012 Is The Year The Cloud Becomes Mature
Based on the very high interest in this blog and its cloud predictions we are planning to host a Forrester Teleconference entiteled "2012 — The Year The Cloud Matures: A Deeper Dive Into 10 Cloud Predictions For The Upcoming Year" on February 28th, 1-2pm EST/6-7pm UK time, where we will highlight and go through the 10 below predictions one by one. For more details and registration please follow the link to the: teleconference web page.
1. Multicloud becomes the norm
As companies quickly adopt a variety of cloud resources, they'll increasingly have to address working with several different cloud solutions, often from different providers. By the end of 2012, cloud customers will already be using more than 10 different cloud apps on average. Cloud orchestration will become a big topic and an opportunity for service providers.
2. The Wild West of cloud procurement is over
While 2011 still witnessed different stakeholders within a company brokering (sometimes unsanctioned by IT) a lot of cloud deals, most companies will have established their formal cloud strategy by the end 2012, including the business models between IT and lines of business for their own, private cloud resources.
3. Cloud commoditization is creeping up the stack

I honestly haven't seen anybody else talk about this very much so that's why I decide post.
Basically, i just got the AWUS036H in the mail the other day and I've been trying to set it up. It failed miserably in windows, so I was trying VMWare before I tried the Live Discs. My VMWare attempts overall were VERY buggy with BT3. The most common thing to happen was just random disconnects of the alfa, VMWare would notify me that it had been disconnected, and that it was trying to re-connect it.
So anyways, I gave up on VMWare and burned a fresh copy of BT3 Final.
On my upstairs PC, which I recently built, the only way I can get in is by using the "acpi=off" option.
By the way, could anyone explain what the does and WHY my computer needs it? Is it a motherboard thing? I checked in my motherboard config and I tried to disable it but it didn't help anything.
So anyways, when I would finally get BT3 loaded, I encountered the assortment of errors described in this thread
again and again and again.
So i gave up with that PC and went downstairs to my old one. Popped in BT3 Final, what do you know, boots 100% fine, I connect the card, crack my own WEP, NO errors.
wtf is going on? lol. It's gotta be hardware then right? I have the ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus motherboard on the computer that's NOT working. is ASUS bad?
I'm just wondering why in the hell it had so many problems on one computer and 0 problems on the other.
Was it that "acpi=off" option? Anyways, I hope I get this sorted out. I think I'm sending the adapter in for replacement anyways.

Conserving Nongame Wildlife: 2010
Land Acquisition & Conservation Planning
The Nongame Conservation Section facilitated three land conservation projects during fiscal year 2010, resulting in the acquisition of 7,988 acres of priority wildlife habitat. Each project -- described below -- involved significant collaboration with partners including The Nature Conservancy, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and others.
All of the projects conserved priority habitat identified in Georgia's State Wildlife Action Plan. (Details on Wildlife Action Plan update below.)
Penholoway Flatwoods Easement
This project protected the habitat for the best population of the endangered hairy rattleweed (Baptisia arachnifera). Hairy rattleweed is a Georgia endemic, occurring only in Wayne and Brantley counties. The species occurs on areas of sandy soils north of the Satilla River, historically in open-canopied longleaf/slash pine savannas or flatwoods. Prior to this project, no populations of hairy rattleweed occurred on protected lands. The species requires open pine forest and regular prescribed fire for optimum habitat.
In cooperation with DNR, The Nature Conservancy, or TNC, bought the tract from Paul Lewis in December 2008. DNR then purchased a conservation easement in December 2009, using a combination of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Recovery Land Acquisition Grant and nongame funds.
DNR and TNC developed a management plan to conserve and improved the habitat for hairy rattleweed through the use of prescribed fire. In addition to rare plants, this site also provides habitat for gopher tortoises and offers one of the best examples of pine flatwoods in southeast Georgia.
Rayonier Murff Tract phase I
Phase 1 featured the acquisition of 7,180 acres along the Altamaha River in McIntosh and Long counties. This project conserved impressive old-growth cypress forest, mixed bottomland hardwood forest and riverine sandhills. Priority species benefitting from the acquisition include the eastern indigo snake, gopher tortoise and swallow-tailed kite, as well as numerous neotropical migrant shorebirds.
The property will also provide outstanding opportunities for hunting, fishing, birding and hiking.
Partners included The Nature Conservancy, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through a North American Wetlands Conservation Act Grant and a Coastal Wetlands Grant, the Georgia Land Conservation Program, and the state's Nongame Conservation Fund.
From 2006 to 2010, DNR partnered with The Nature Conservancy, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, Georgia Land Conservation Program, Georgia Wetlands Trust Fund, U.S. Marine Corps, Ducks Unlimited, National Wildlife Turkey Federation and the Woodruff Foundation to acquire 29,090 acres of priority habitat in the lower Altamaha area. Many of these parcels are adjacent to the Murff Tract. Together, the acquisitions provide a significant wildlife conservation area for species that require large tracts of habitat.
The Forestar Tract
This project resulted in the acquisition of a key parcel along Amicalola Creek in Dawson County. The 469-acre Forestar Tract connects state-owned lands in Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area. Amicalola Creek is a priority stream for the Etowah darter and Cherokee darter and an important headwater for the Etowah River. This acquisition protects Amicalola Creek and helps preserve the high-quality aquatic habitat in this priority stream.
The Nature Conservancy, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Georgia Land Conservation Program, Dobbs Foundation, Mountain Conservation Trust and Woodruff Foundation provided funding for this project. DNR now protects more than 20 miles of riparian habitat along Amicalola Creek, providing excellent outdoor recreational opportunities and maintaining high quality habitat for rare fish.
Conservation Planning
The State Wildlife Action Plan, completed in August 2005, is due for an update. Like all state wildlife agencies, DNR made a commitment to review and revise its Wildlife Action Plan, better known as SWAP, within 10 years. The revision process began in 2010 and will be completed by 2015.
The process will include a reassessment of priority species, habitats and conservation actions, as well as more detailed mapping of priority conservation areas. It will also include an evaluation of potential impacts of climate change on priority species and habitats and identification of climate-change adaptation strategies. Further assessment of monitoring needs and performance measures for comprehensive wildlife conservation in Georgia will be part of the work.
Nongame Conservation Section staff will coordinate the SWAP revision process with help from other DNR staff and representatives of a wide variety of government agencies, non-governmental conservation organizations, landowner groups and private corporations. The product of this effort will be a strategic plan that reflects the most current information about wildlife conservation needs and opportunities in the state.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- North Carolina notched its first dual win of the year Sunday with a 36-6 rout of South Dakota State before falling 25-12 to No. 14 Nebraska.
The lower weights performed well for the Tar Heels as Nathan Kraisser (125), Joey Ward (133) and Evan Henderson (141) all posted a pair of wins Sunday.
The Tar Heels opened against the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State and won the first four bouts to jump out to a 15-0 lead before SDSU was able to get on the board.
Kraisser opened with a 7-1 decision over Aaron Pickrel to put UNC up 3-0 before Joey Ward registered a 2-1 decision of his own against Brance Simms.
No. 17 Evan Henderson pushed the UNC lead to 12-0 with a pin late in the first period over Ben Gillette. Christian Barber extended Carolina's advantage to 15-0 with a 7-3 decision over Dustin Walraven.

Carolina went on a roll after the first set back as three of the next four wrestlers pinned their opponents.
John Staudenmayer (165) pinned Joe Brewster with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first period to up UNC's lead to 21-3.
Frank Abbondanza claimed a 4-2 decision against Troy Morisette at 174 pounds to clinch the match for the Tar Heels.
Alex Utley (184) and Antonio Giorgio (197) gave UNC 12 more points with a pair of pins as Utley downed Shea Nelson in 4:14 and Giorgio made quick work of Brandon Ballard with a pin in just 0:55.
J.J. Everard claimed a 7-3 decision over Jake Barnhart at heavyweight to provide the final 36-6.
Carolina kept the momentum going into the second dual of the day as the opening three weight classes gave the Tar Heels a 12-0 advantage over No. 14 Nebraska.
Kraisser registered a 12-1 major decision over Eric Coufal to give the Tar Heels an early 4-0 lead.
Joey Ward made it an 8-0 advantage with another major decision, a 14-4 win over Shawn Nagel. Henderson racked up a third straight major decision with a 10-1 win over Skylar Galloway at 141 pounds.
The Cornhuskers then send four ranked wrestlers to the mat in the next five bouts to gain control of the match. No. 13 Jake Sueflohn (149) registered an 8-3 decision over Christian Barber and No. 5 James Green (157) downed Chris Mears, 10-3, to make the team score 12-6.
John Staudenmayer dropped a narrow 6-4 decision to Austin Wilson at 165 pounds before No. 7 Robert Kokesh pinned Abbondanza at 174 pounds to put Nebraska in front 15-12.
No. 6 Josh Ihnen bested No. 19 Alex Utley at 184 pounds by a 10-4 margin before Casey Kolb sealed the match for the Huskers with a 4-2 decision over Antonio Giorgio.
In the final bout of the day Nebraska's Donny Longendyke posted a major decision over Jake Barnhart by a 9-1 margin to provide Nebraska with the 25-12 win.

text: All Star Festivities Actually watched more of this than I planned. Saw the Piston team of Lambier, Billups and Cash win the whatever its called competition. This is where an NBA player, a WNBA player and a retired player all from the same city compete by taking a variety of shots. Good win there. Some controversy as team Chicago initially was declared the winner but was later disqualified for skipping one of their shots 3-pt competition - my favorite event. Kapono of Miami pulled off an upset over heavily favored Dirk Nowitzki and Arenas. Kapono shot a 19 and a 24 which tied the all-time 2nd round record. Slam dunk. Getting creative. Its was all about the defending champ Nate Robinson of NY taking on Gerald Green of Boston. Green deservingly won it by dunking over various things. I thought the best dunk was by Josh Howard when he pasting a sticker to the top of the backboard with his left hand while dunking with his right. As far as I know this was the 1st time a player ever attempted to do somthing else at the moment of the dunk. The coordination involved in that was missed on the judges as he received an average mark for it. Of course that was only one dunk. Green deserved it with his showmanship and creative use of various props, one being Nate Robinson himself as Green jumped over him on his was to the rim.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the new pup! With choosing food, find a good kibble that works for her, lots of choices and opinions out there. This link is helpful weeding through some of them, Dog Food Reviews and Ratings | Dog Food Advisor
Some suggestions, Orijen, Acana, Fromms, Natures variety, etc.. There are a few pre made raw options like Honest Kitchen too. Most of those mentioned are a bit pricey, especially feeding multiple dogs. There are some good middle of the road products out there too, just do some research and figure out which works best for dog and budget.
For chews & toys, mine like bully sticks, raw knuckle bones and they like antlers too, but they are hard on teeth so depending on the dog may not be a good idea. They like a few of the JW products like the larger "crinkle" ball, holee roller. Some others, jolly egg (large), jolly ball, Orbee/world ball, and elite k9 ball on a string- lots of other options with the ball on a string.
For crate training, we've only done this with our male and we just started putting him in it with a frozen treat filled kong for shorter lengths of time and worked our way up. He gets nothing now and goes in without being asked, we just leave it open for him.

bordetella vaccine isnt even necessary unless you plan to board her or take classes where it is required
5 way puppy vaccines are all that is really necessary then a rabies at 16 weeks or 4mos
as to her getting in between the kids yes you need to stop that
a puppy should not be in a position to even try to guard the kids and mentally if she is already trying to she is going to make bad decisions in the future
that is your job and its your job to let her be a puppy now too and not try to rush growing up although i know you arent trying to, she is trying to
Newbie in Oregon
Hello everyone,
I've spent years dreaming of getting a GSD and it's finally happened. I got my pup last week and it's been amazing how well she's fit in and adjusted to our family. Kasey is 12 weeks old now, and I think the reason she is so well adjusted is because she had that valuable time with her momma and 10 siblings.
She's had her vaccinations including rabies, but the vet wanted to wait until 16 weeks for bordetella nasal mist.. is this normal? I haven't had a puppy in 11 years. Isn't this going to put her at risk for kennel cough as I'm trying to socialize her, or is it only really risky for actual kennels and mainly for compromised "unhealthy" dogs? The vet didn't seem concerned at all about it..
Another issue I see that may be arising is she's already seeming protective of my children. My brother came over and she kept placing herself between him and my boys, and not in the way of wanting the attention but in the way of pushing against him/child to make distance (she's already 29lbs) no other aggressive behavior like teeth, ears back. Is this something I need to address or is okay to let her be protective of strangers? This was the first time meeting my brother.
I'm also having trouble finding chew toys and treats she likes, I've tried lots of stuff but she's just not interested. I feel terrible putting her in her kennel at night because nothing motivates her but attention I've tried Kong with pb, kong cheese, busy bones, weird chew stick things, biscuits. Her favorite things are my sons tshirts, ANYones socks, a large iron man action figure, and a lego cup from Mcds all of which are obvious no no's.
As far as diet goes I bought a large bag of Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy, my vet said to feed her this until she's 6 months old. The breeder suggested I feed it until 4 (basically feed her one large bag of food then switch to adult) Regardless, is this a good food choice? What would a good one be for adult? I know raw is a great choice but for me and my family lifestyle it's just not feasible. We tried it with our oldest dog and it was just to stressful. I hope this doesn't get me put on blast
We feed our 11 and 9 year old labs Kirkland Brand Lamb/Rice and supplement them with glucosamine. My 11 year old lab was hit by a car when he was 2 and now has terrible arthritis and without the supplement can barely get up some days. He also has terrible allergies and it seems to help with that too. Should I give the pup glucosamine this early or wait until she's fully grown?
Blah hate to go on and on I'm just eager to talk to actual other owners and not some of the sketchy people around my area that think I'm mean and crazy for crate training and suggested puppy chow and rawhide bones
I'll share a picture as soon as my new phone gets here, go figure my camera breaks 3 days before I got her!

Throughout the history of the United States our armed forces dealt with war and private companies provided the weapons of war. However, under the Bush administration a new era opened in which private contractors did tasks ordinarily performed by those in the military. For some reason, the brilliant work of Army and Navy engineers in WW II and other conflicts was replaced by gun-toting men who more often resembled the Hessians of the Revolutionary war than modern soldiers. The independent Project on Government Oversight sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton which blasts the current security situation at the Kabul embassy. A number of guards hired to provide security claim they are subject to hazing and inappropriate behavior by supervisors.
The investigation revealed guards pulling 14 hour long days, language barriers and a failure to hold private enterprise companies accountable for their actions. The report includes examples of abuse in which there was urinating on people. The bottom line is why has the United States moved away from using soldiers to using mercenaries. Once again, George Bush ushered in a new era of rampant private enterprise which has led to human rights abuses.

Recently Dan Bieler and I attended a Colt Technology Services analyst day in London. It was great to see a technology services provider who is trying to embrace both disruptive ICT trends and challenges facing enterprise IT. Here is a high level summary of our views from the event:
Posted by Andrew Bartels on July 14, 2013
At the half mark through 2013, both the global and the European tech markets have pockets of strength and other pockets of weakness, both by product and by geography. Forrester's mid-2013 global tech market update (July 12, 2013, "A Mixed Outlook For The Global Tech Market In 2013 And 2014 –The US Market And Software Buying Will Be The Drivers Of 2.3% Growth This Year And 5.4% Growth Next Year") shows the US market for business and government purchases of information technology goods and services doing relatively well, along with tech markets in Latin America and Eastern Europe/Middle East/Africa and parts of Asia Pacific. However, the tech market in Western and Central Europe will post negative growth and those in Japan, Canada, Australia, and India will grow at a moderate pace. Measured in US dollars, growth will be subdued at 2.3% in 2013, thanks to the strong dollar, and revenues of US tech vendors will suffer as a result. However, in local currency terms, growth will more respectable, at 4.6%. Software -- especially for analytical and collaborative applications and for software-as-a-service products -- continue to be a bright spot, with 3.3% dollar growth and 5.7% in local currency-terms. Apart from enterprise purchases of tablets, hardware -- both computer equipment and communications equipment -- will be weak. IT services will be mixed, with slightly stronger demand for IT consulting and systems integration services than for IT outsourcing and hardware maintenance.

Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR)
The mission of the ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) is to provide an allocation program for projects of interest to the Department of Energy (DOE) with an emphasis on high-risk, high-payoff simulations in areas directly related to the DOE mission and for broadening the community of researchers capable of using leadership computing resources.
The call for 2017 ALCC Applications is closed. The 2018 Call for Proposals is expected to open in the Fall of this year.
For 2017, ALCC is supporting 40 projects totaling over 4 billion processor hours. For a listing of 2017 awarded projects, see Current Awards.
Open to scientists from the research community in industry, academia, and national laboratories, the ALCC program allocates up to 30% of the computational resources at ASCR's supercomputing facilities. ASCR supercomputing facilities include NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Leadership Computing Facilities at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. These resources represent some of the world's fastest and most powerful supercomputers.
ALCC is one of several allocation programs for ASCR supercomputing facilities (see ASCR Allocation Policy (23KB)) and supports our efforts to further DOE mission science and to broaden community access to leadership computing facilities. To fulfill its goal of broadening community access, ALCC supports a wide range of project allocation sizes and allocates time across all three ASCR supercomputing facilities.
ALCC grants one year awards. In 2015, 43 ALCC awards were granted amounting to 2.9 billion processor hours with projects ranging in size from 5 to 175 million processor hours. Scientific discovery advanced by ALCC allocations range across the DOE mission space include (but not limited to) energy efficiency, computer science, climate modeling, materials science, bioenergy, and basic research. (See ALCC Past Awards and Awardees).
ALCC allocates high performance computing time on the primary HPC machines at each ASCR facility. For 2017-18 ALCC, these resources include Titan at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Mira and Theta at Argonne National Laboratory, and Cori/Edison (Cray XC40/30 Intel Xeon nodes) and Cori (Cray XC40 Intel Xeon Phi KNL nodes) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. For a description of the computing resources at ASCR facilities, please see
See right side bar for more ALCC information links.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger has warned that no club has a divine right to be in the Champions League - including his own.
Arsenal have an outstanding record of qualifying for Europe's premier club competition. Since the start of Wenger's first full season as manager - 1997/98 - they have been champions three times, runners-up five times, third on one occasion and fourth twice. That remarkable consistency has brought Champions League football to North London for 11 consecutive seasons.
The only time Arsenal's place among the elite was seriously threatened was back in 2006 when they pipped Tottenham to fourth spot on the final day of their final campaign at Highbury. But this season is shaping up to be just as close with 'Big Four' gatecrashers Aston Villa hoping to open up a six-point lead on Arsenal with victory at Villa Park on Boxing Day.
Wenger still believes his team will book their Champions League spot as Premier League champions but knows that European football should not be taken for granted.
"If you look at Europe not many teams have in the last 10 years been in every year," he said.
"But in Europe this year AC Milan are in the Uefa Cup, they are not in the Champions League. Last year Bayern Munich played in the Uefa Cup, and they are not less prestigious clubs than any of the teams who play in the top four.
"But they didn't die. In sport you have to accept that nothing is guaranteed. Only because we achieve it every year do people think it is guaranteed. It is not guaranteed, it is down to your performances.
"I believe it is hard [to qualify] every year," added Wenger. "When we were in the [2006] Final against Barcelona we qualified for the Champions League against Wigan on the last day of the season.
"It was always hard but I believe that we can still win the Premier League because no one has impressed me more. We haven't come out of a game and said 'Listen, they are untouchable this year.' That happens sometimes but nobody looks to be untouchable.
"The team with the biggest potential is Manchester United and it will depend how they come back into it and whether they drop points as well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
