Here we are again, then. Summer over. September over. More releases to feast upon, which you may do so below. OK, so September was probably about half as good as August, but we've had the return of Part Chimp and Antipop, as well as a near-on amazing debut from Ramona Falls. Read below for what we thought of September, and maybe even click a few of them for Spotify links. You know how we "roll".
The Boxer Rebellion - Union
Says Dom Gourlay: "What's quite apparent is the way the band have used the years spent in their own studio honing and enhancing their sound, the opening 'Flashing Red Light Means Go' and aforementioned 'Evacuate' hinting at a more expansive, widescreen view than on any of their previous recordings. The guitar duels of Nicholson and Todd Howe ring clearer than ever before, particularly on the epic finale of 'Silent Movie', which cascades Union to a brooding, emotive climax. At times, there's a claustrophobic tightness that turns melancholic asides like 'Soviets' into billowing wombs of sonic bliss, while 'The Gospel Of Goro Adachi', with its semi-introspective lyrical assertions ("What's done is done to me...") coupled with a lilting waltz-like accompaniment is simply stunning in its execution."

HEALTH - Get Color
Says Andrzej Lukowski: "Perhaps the biggest step forwards is the introduction of emotion to HEALTH's previously machine-tooled heart. Sometimes it's quite hard to work out what the emotions are, but they're unquestionably there: after a typical snarl of staccato noise, 'Severin' breaks into a nihilistic gallop of guitar and drums that cradles Jake Duzsik's repeat intonation "all we lose, we learn from you". Whatever removal of innocence Duzsik may be referring to or why we may be to blame is entirely unclear; but stretched over four minutes, that collision of end-of-days noise and quiescent sorrow is utterly intoxicating, a cocktail of molten music and sub-zero emotion. Paired with the running-on-empty flicker and roar of the preceding 'Before Tigers' and you have two tracks at the centre of the record that form a sad, pretty heart, one that pumps definition throughout Get Color's slender half hour run time."

Taken By Trees - East Of Eden
Says Daniel B. Yates: "ecorded by Studio's Dan Lissvik, Victoria Bergsman's second album as Taken By Trees, after her departure from The Concretes and profile-enhancing guest on PBJ's Young Folks, sees her relocating both her music and her practice to the Pakistani capital Lahore. Working with local Sufi musicians to create a slight and graceful collection of twee Scandi-folk tunes set to South Asian instrumentation, she achieves a steadiness of fusion that holds the two musical cultures in productive tension without ever feeling forced or self-conscious. And along the way she takes care to chart the undermining of her own Edenic myth."

Part Chimp - Thriller
Says Phillip Bloomfield: "Thriller feels absolutely huge. It sounds like it was recorded in a wind tunnel full of amp stacks, so full and immersive is the sound. Album highlight 'Dirty Sun' rumbles, screeches and crashes like an oncoming thunderstorm, anthemic vocals straining against the wind and the rain of guitar and battered percusion. Opener 'Trad' is detuned desert rock, powered by new recruit Tracy Bellarie's (ex-Ikara Colt) furiously overdriven bass. The filthy raucousness of 'Sweet T' shows how fuzz and distortion should be used: as a system overload, the music straining to escape the confines of the speakers or headphones."

Paramore - brand new eyes
Says Paul Stephen Gettings: "This record isn't pushing any boundaries. And if you're already a critic, this isn't going to convince you otherwise. This is a realisation, and an affirmation, of Paramore's musical craftmanship and potential longevity. They have allowed themselves to grow and still retain the innocence and optimism that makes them so irresistible. Guilty pleasure or not, brand new eyes sees Paramore glad to be alive, and as Williams so aptly puts it, just getting started."

Vitalic - Flashmob
Says Sean Thomas: "It would be wrong to imply this is a groundbreaking LP, though. For his second album, Vitalic has resisted the common tactic adopted by many electro producers in mimicking a style of a particular period and concentrated on refinement over reinvention. His trademark sound is still watermarked all over the record, simply that everything feels that bit more 'now' and progressive.Whether or not it is as defining a release as OK Cowboy even feels somewhat incidental in the end, as Flashmob is easily the most enjoyable, addictive, air-keyboard-inducing electronic record that the year is likely to produce."

Antipop Consortium - Fluorescent Black
Says Rory Gibb: "What really impresses though is how complete all of this sounds: aside from the typically cocky lyrical references, there's nary a hint that they've not been working together for the last few years. The chemistry between all three MCs is stronger than ever, and the beats on here act as a reminder of how to do leftfield hip-hop in the right way. It may well be their best yet – it's barely been off my stereo in the two weeks since it arrived through the door. Fluorescent Black finds Anti-Pop Consortium standing up to recent work by the old guard and young pretenders alike, giving a firm middle finger and a knowing grin."
Girls - Album
Says Dom Gourlay: "What makes Album such a timeless experience, however, is the way it borrows from four decades worth of popular music, whether that be the more traditional heartbreak rock'n'roll epistle that is 'Ghost Mouth', the Beach Boys speed comedown that is 'Big Bad Mean Mother Fucker', or reverb-tinged highlight 'Morning Light', which actually sounds uncannily like The Boo Radleys during their once-maligned but now historically revered Ichabod And I phase that kickstarted their career."

Ramona Falls - Intuit
Says Joseph Rowan: "Intuit is, unfortunately, probably not a high profile enough release to be mentioned in the end-of-year lists nearly as frequently as any of the aforementioned albums. But it's easily the equal of any of those releases, in terms of its breadth of vision and depth of emotion, and it really establishing Knopf as a supremely talented and truly heartfelt songwriter. Do him a favour and check it out."

Heavy branches from a neighbor's silver maple snapped off during Friday's violent storm and plunged onto power lines connected to Tom MacDougall's house in Northeast Baltimore.
The wires ripped from the dwelling, damaging its vinyl siding. The branches chipped MacDougall's roof shingles, destroyed gutter guards and shattered a white wooden trellis behind the house.
"I've had minor things over the years, you know, but I just fixed them myself," said MacDougall as he watched two representatives from Travelers Insurance — one wielding a tape measure, the other a clipboard — as they climbed on his roof Tuesday afternoon. "This is the first time I've ever made a claim."
MacDougall, still without power Tuesday in the century-old Hamilton home he shares with his wife, Karin, is one of many homeowners tapping their insurance policies. The end of a storm is often the beginning of a homeowner's contact with an insurer.
By midday Tuesday, at least 18,000 insurance claims had been filed by Maryland residents, according to the state's insurance administration.
MacDougall, a welder, said that until Monday he wouldn't have been able to name the company that insures his house. His insurance agent put him in touch with Travelers, which arranged for representatives to come out within a day.
"We're going to try to write up an estimate and give the homeowner a check today," said Sandra Biagini, a claims representative for Travelers, after she descended from the MacDougalls' roof. "Then it's his responsibility to go out and find a contractor and have the work done."
Requesting a visit from an insurance company representative is a crucial step in ensuring that a home does not lose value after violent weather, said David Fox, executive director of the National Storm Damage Center, a Colorado-based company that certifies contractors who perform storm repairs.
It's better to be safe than sorry, Fox said. If there's any chance that damage was done, have an insurance company inspect your home.
"A lot of people get to the other end of these storms and look at their house and say, 'Well, my house is OK.' And then five years later, after their statute of limitations to file a claim has passed ... they realize they have $10,000 worth of roofing damage from the storm," Fox said.
Homeowners typically lose the ability to file a storm damage claim within two years, Fox added.
A few broken shingles — like the ones on the MacDougalls' roof — could easily go unnoticed but could let in water over a period of months or years, Fox said. Water can lead to mold, rot and structural damage.
"Sometimes we catch things the homeowner didn't even know they have wrong," said Tom Scherrer Jr., a property claim services manager for Travelers, who reviewed the MacDougalls' home with Biagini.
Fortunately, MacDougall had checked the situation himself and knew the extent of the damage. He'd gone up on the roof and removed branches and debris.
Some homeowners, fearful that their actions might void a claim, are hesitant to touch anything before an insurance representative arrives, Scherrer said.
As long as the damage is documented and not exacerbated, making repairs or temporary fixes — such as covering a hole in the roof with a tarp — is fine, Scherrer said.
Even having permanent repair work done before an insurance agent gets to a home is fine — as long as the homeowner documents the damage with photographs, he said.
"When we get into problems is when we get out to a home and everything's all done, there's no documentation and we have to re-create it," Scherrer said.
Said Biagini: "Just make sure I can tell what happened."
Biagini — who usually reviews workers' compensation claims but was deployed to investigate homeowners' damage after the storm — had an office set up in her car: a laptop computer in the passenger's seat connected to a printer in the back.
Software provides the approximate cost of contractors in a specific area as well as the market cost of repair supplies, such as shingles or siding, Biagini said. The computer program then calculates the amount owed each customer.
For most houses, an inspection takes about 30 minutes, Scherrer said. If damage is severe, an investigation can take up to half a day.
Biagini presented her findings to MacDougall at his dining room table.
She broke up her estimate into sections: labor and supplies for roof repairs, labor to fix the vinyl siding and haul off tree debris, and the replacement cost for the trellis and gutter guards.
The MacDougalls also were reimbursed $200 for spoiled food.
Minus the couple's $500 deductible, Biagini estimated the cost of restoring the home to its pre-storm state at $1,825.28. She handed Tom MacDougall a check in that amount.
If the contractors MacDougall hires to make repairs contest her estimates, Biagini said, she's willing to hear their case for increasing the claim amount.
"I'm more than satisfied," MacDougall said. "I just wanted the stuff fixed to the way it was before."


text: 18th May 10:52 The Judge presiding over the Microsoft anti-trust settlement has agreed to a request by both parties to continue monitoring the company for an additional two years. The original five year compliance program was due to expire next year. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly indicated her approval in a district court hearing on Wednesday. Microsoft agreed with the US Department of Justice (DoJ) and the seventeen states who sued Microsoft for anti-trust violations, that an extension to the compliance program was required. The program requires Microsoft to license technology on non-discriminatory terms, and has led to the establishment of the MCPP licensing program. It remains off limits to software libre developers, however, for whom the program compromises clean room implementations, and poses unacceptable patent risks. The DoJ thinks the compliance program ought to be extended to 2012, and Microsoft has already agreed to extend the licensing part of it, with licensees able to take out five year agreements to 2017. Microsoft is being criticised on both sides of the Atlantic for failing to document its protocols adequately. The documentation is required so other vendors can build products that can interoperate with Microsoft servers. The European Commission's ruling adds to the earlier US settlement by requiring that Microsoft document server-to-server protocols. Microsoft insisted to the EC that its documentation is adequate, while admitting to the DoJ that its documentation program needed "a reset".

LifeProof Nuud Waterproof iPhone 5 Case Review/
Nearly a full year has past since we published our review of the Fre waterproof case, and in that time LifeProof has been working hard to create the next revolutionary waterproof case for the iPhone 5. The Nuud is LifeProof's latest offering, an innovative waterproof case with screenless technology borrowed from the company's Nuud for the iPad - the first case to have pioneered this brilliant concept. And in doing so, LifeProof has fixed the most troublesome area that has affected every case model since the inception of the LifeProof case. The Nuud no longer requires an integrated screen protector which means you can now directly touch your iPhone's glass touchscreen without of course sacrificing invaluable waterproof prowess.
We waited a long time for this day to finally come, and so now we must put the Nuud through its paces in order to find out if it's really the best waterproof iPhone 5 case on the market. Check out our full review right after the cut!
As the most popular brand for waterproof iPhone cases, LifeProof certainly reminds us all why its name became a staple when looking around for a protective case that'll protect your device from just about everything that will be thrown at it. While the Nuud looks a lot like its Fre counterpart, it does have a few notable design differences that set the two apart mostly from a visual standpoint. But the first and foremost let's get to the Nuud's pièce de résistance - screenless technology.
The Nuud retails for $90, which is $10 more than the Fre costs and as of this review it only comes in white or black colors as oppose to the Fre's colorful selection. Then again the Fre was also initially offered in black and white flavors until eventually LifeProof included more colors.
LifeProof's Fre suffered from all kinds of issues which we've pointed our in our review. But what really irritated me as well as many others was the noticeable watermarking and air gap or pillow-effect between the Fre's built-in plastic screen protector and the iPhone's touchscreen. That created a mediocre touchscreen experience which for the most part felt like you were using a phone with an old, and now obsolete plastic resistive touchscreen. It was fine considering the Fre's waterproof capabilities and ultra-clear visibility along with little to no available alternatives at the time, but we wanted an improvement.
The Nuud has no built-in screen protector, yet it is fully waterproof just like the Fre is. It's also as protective as the Fre is, meaning that it'll protect your iPhone 5 against drops as high as 6.6 feet (2 meters), impacts, dust, sand, snow and water submersion in up to 6.6 feet of water enabling you to shoot breathtaking underwater footage. Nothing stands between your finger and that slick glass touchscreen which is really the pinnacle of waterproof cases.
Being able to use and touch the bare glass touchscreen is remarkable. I can honestly say that the Nuud case for the iPhone 5 is the only waterproof case that I could personally use. I'm not a fan of plastic screen protectors and an even greater detractor of the integrated variety as they rob your device of responsiveness. Each time I come to use my iPhone with the Nuud on knowing that it's a waterproof case, the feeling of touching the actual glass display is very gratifying.
It's worth mentioning that both the Nuud and Free cases are virtually identical in thickness on paper, as well as in how they each feel to use in terms of bulk. As slim as these may be as far as waterproof cases are concerned, the Nuud is considered to be a bulky case. Granted it is extremely protective and many wouldn't mind its added bulk when the positives far outweigh the extra bit of fat it puts on the slimmed iPhone 5. For size reference we put the Nuud next to one of our favorite everyday slim TPU cases, a Magpul Field Case. Clearly there's a difference, but it's noticeably so in length rather than thickness.
Another interesting advantage to being able to use your glass touchscreen naked is that the oleophobic coating on the glass repels water extremely well unlike the plastic-made integrated screen shields in other waterproof cases. Cleaning the screen is much easier too.
While there aren't any issues with responsiveness when using the touchscreen, the Nuud's plastic frame creates a bezel around the iPhone 5's display which come right up to the edge similar to how Griffin's Survivor + Catalyst waterproof case is designed. Using iOS 7 and its screen gesture features like swiping from the bottom or top edge to bring up certain controls can be tricky with the Nuud case installed. There's nothing we can do about it right now, but we're sure that case manufacturers will note these issues when iOS 7 is released to the public because as of this review, it is still in beta.
The front looks very similar to the Fre in that it entirely covers and protects the iPhone's bezel as well as any exposed area that isn't the actual 4-inch screen allowing you to essentially pick up a white Nuud case, and transform your black iPhone 5 making it look as if it were a white model. But the obvious changes are the materials used to create the Nuud's front face. Unlike the Fre's built-in colored plastic screen protector which is flexible, the Nuud features a hard and rigid polycarbonate frame that is slightly textured to have a grainy matte finish. This change allows the Nuud to encase the iPhone 5 as a frame using a rigid build with an underlining watertight periphery gasket.
Looking around the back we can see how different the Nuud is from the Fre's window-cut solid back cover. The Nuud's back cover is completely clear letting the natural beauty of the iPhone 5 show though in all of its two-tone glory. It looks sharp, but this part offers no grip whatsoever as it has a slick finish to it. A small attention to detail I'd like to point out though is that the edges around the clear glossy back are frosted and slightly textured so that they won't show any bad looking scuff marks like the clear plastic found on the Survivor + Catalyst waterproof case we recently reviewed. Also, the clear section of the cover is elevated by that edge so it won't scratch up with use each time you set your iPhone on a table or when accidentally dropped.
The iPhone's back-facing camera in particular is covered with anti-reflective glass similar to that of the Fre, and the the LED flash is isolated so that it doesn't bounce into your photo in low-light conditions. Everything works perfectly as if you weren't using a case including auto-focus. Video and photos look sharp and generally unaffected by using the Nuud even when used underwater. It shouldn't come as a surprise though as LifeProof's Fre performed just as well. Because capacitive touchscreen technology doesn't work underwater, you'll use the iPhone's volume button as a camera shutter button as well as to start/stop video recordings.
The exterior, primarily the gray part that surrounds the case like a bumper is made out of rubber and feels exactly like the Fre case when held. This is where the Nuud gets most if not all of its grip from. And because of this rubberized design, the Nuud feels great to hold compared to other waterproof cases excluding the Seidio Obex, which features a carbon-copied design in terms of material style.
The Nuud's interior frame features a clear rubbery gasket that creates a perfect watertight seal around the iPhone 5's display using LifeProod's screenless technology just by pressing tightly up against the glass surface. The usual rubber interior bumper-like lining is there is help absorb shock and vibrations in order to protect the iPhone from drops and impacts. The rubber also helps create a snug fit when the iPhone is inserted so that no wobble or play can occur. LifeProod's cases including the Nuud are designed and built with extremely low, form-fitting tolerances.
The Nuud's construction is identical to that of the Fre, and in fact you could use Fre parts sold individually by LifeProof on the Nuud such as a Fre back with the Nuud's screenless front to create a customized waterproof case. Note that LifeProof advises against using other parts with the Nuud.
The home button is made almost as a separate moving piece, and because of that it moves very easily. Then again it sort of feels flimsy, however, it does feel like you're actually pressing the iPhone's home button which is fantastic.
The Nuud is advertised to offer maximum sound output and clarity, however, we found that to be inaccurate yet again. While I do agree the volume of audio isn't noticeably affected, however the quality of sound from the bottom speaker is degraded. It vibrates through the back plastic cover as well as from where it should be coming out of which is through the waterproof membrane covering the speaker port. The sound is a little distorted and tinny somewhat which is very similar to previous LifeProof cases including the Fre and Obex. Covering up the back side will muffle the sound even more.
LifeProof's struggle with isolating and properly routing the iPhone's bottom-facing speaker is redeemed not only by the Nuud's awesome screenless feature, but also with improved call quality experience. Mic pickup quality is surprisingly really good during phone calls. I've had no issues with phone conversations as I sounded clear to others while audio coming out of the iPhone's earpiece sounded loud and clear as well.
For the most part the Nuud's functionality remained unchanged compared to the Fre. It features tactile and responsive buttons as well as an easy-to-operate integrated silent switch, all embedded in this rubbery compound that offers protection as well as a grippy surface for your fingers to hold.
Other small improvements over the Fre is the 3.5mm audio port plug which is now securely attached to the case itself so you can't lose it. Prior to this LifeProof included two plugs in case you were to lose one. The plug still needs to be screwed in tightly and no matter how slim your headphone jack may be, you'll still need to use the included adapter in order to plug it into your iPhone's headphone port.
The Lightning port is greatly recessed but also compatible with Apple's Lightning connector cable. LifeProof has made a compatible Lightning Dock Adapter which fits into the Nuud's recessed port essentially extending the reach allowing you to even dock your iPhone 5 with all kinds of accessories without having to remove the Nuud case. It is however a $30 accessory you'll need to purchase, and of course we would have liked to see this adapter included with a $90 case.
Inside the packaging we have a set of instructions on how to install and use the Nuud, together with a large microfiber cleaning cloth, a not-so-short weatherproof headphone adapter cable, an iPhone test dummy for use when water testing the Nuud for any imperfections, as well as a clear screen protector - more on that shortly. I never tested any waterproof case prior to putting my iPhone inside, but if you want to take extreme precaution then you might want to put on your quality control hat and test your case before actual use with a piece of paper inside instead of your iPhone to check for any potential leaks. As you can see, LifeProof water tests each Nuud case regardless.
You can add the included screen protector for additional scratch protection, alas you'll quickly discover that is it poorly cut and does not fit correctly as it does not cover the screen entirely. Unfortunately, you won't be able to use glass screen protectors with the Nuud.
Because of the Nuud's screenless design, installing it and removing your iPhone is a piece of cake. What once required a careful removal process is now done by simply pushing the iPhone through the frame without worry of breaking any built-in screen shield. The back cover simply snaps together like a plastic food container lid.
Conversely, the clear back piece can be removed by lifting the bottom corner which can be done without having to twist open using a coin as before. So yes, the Nuud is more easier to use than the Fre thanks to its more forgiving removal procedure.
So how does the Nuud compare to other waterproof cases? Back when we first reviewed LifeProof's iPhone 4 case, there literally weren't any waterproof cases to compare it to. But now the story is different. Now, there's a growing market of waterproof cases made by well known case manufacturers. The Nuud we find is the most advanced waterproof case currently available for the iPhone 5. Its integrated screen-less feature is unmatched by others. Its comfortable to use, great looking slim profile makes it a really great case that you actually want to use knowing how protective is actually is behind that unassuming sleek design.
As daunting as it might seem, it is as simple as it sounds and looks. LifeProof's screenless design works flawlessly and so far, reliable in its waterproof capability. The Nuud's screenless design is a breakthrough, and a triumph over all waterproof cases. It really is as good as you would think it to be. For anyone looking to seriously protect an iPhone 5 against water and drops, the Nuud is the case to get. Its slim profile and unhindered touchscreen experience and call quality makes it a comfortable and enjoyable ultra-protective case to use. Being able to reach and directly touch your iPhone's touchscreen while it is encased inside a waterproof case is invaluable.
As much as we were impressed by the Nuud's screenless design, it still needs improving on its speaker quality degradation. And while it wouldn't bother certain people, it will be seen as a nuisance by others. With that said, we think the Nuud case for the iPhone 5 merits a strong recommendation considering it's currently the best waterproof case made for the iPhone 5. LifeProod's Nuud is also the first waterproof case we felt was worthy of our Editors' Choice Award.

Background on the Commission
The Commission on Intellectual Property Rights, Innovation and Public Health was created in May 2003 at the Fifty-sixth World Health Assembly which adopted resolution WHA56.27.
The resolution requested WHO to establish the terms of reference for an appropriate time-limited body to collect data and proposals from the different actors involved and produce an analysis of intellectual property rights, innovation, and public health, including the question of appropriate funding and incentive mechanisms for the creation of new medicines and other products against diseases that disproportionately affect developing countries, and to submit a progress report to the Fifty-seventh World Health Assembly and a final report with concrete proposals to the Executive Board at its 116th session.
The Commission will review the interfaces and linkages between intellectual property rights, innovation and public health in the light of current evidence and examine in depth how to stimulate the creation of new medicines and other products for diseases that mainly affect developing countries.
The analysis of the Commission will take into account how intellectual property rights can promote innovation relevant to public health, and how funding and other incentive mechanisms, including institutional arrangements, may contribute to this end.
A small secretariat has been established in WHO to manage the work of the Commission.
Terms of Reference
- Summarize the existing evidence on the prevalence of diseases of public health importance with an emphasis on those that particularly affect poor people and their social and economic impact;
- Review the volume and distribution of existing research, development and innovation efforts directed at these diseases;
- Consider the importance and effectiveness of intellectual property regimes and other incentive and funding mechanisms in stimulating research and the creation of new medicines and other products against these diseases;
- Analyse proposals for improvements to the current incentive and funding regimes, including intellectual property rights, designed to stimulate the creation of new medicines and other products, and facilitate access to them;
- Produce concrete proposals for action by national and international stakeholders.
Members of the Commission
Members of the Commission were selected on the basis of demonstrated expertise and wide experience in the issues under consideration, geographical distribution, diversity such as gender, occupational mix and discipline.

jobresults needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 80 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
Job Results requires a modern logo for a growing Job Agency in Australia. Will be using this on the website, business cards etc.
Job Results
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
We would require the logo to look modern and up to date. So far we've been using the logo of Job Results with the tagline"Getting People Jobs" underneath it but feel this is way too amateurish and want to drop it all together. I really like the idea of Job Results with a box after it with a tick in the box. One idea is that the word BEST can be put in different colors in joB rESTs with a tagline after it saying something about best results. We are open to totally new ideas and we don't need to have a phrase to go with the name of Job Results at all really. Can view our existing website: http://www.jobresults.com. Want a completely new and professional look! We like oranges, blues and purples. Thank you.

Mexico sets 'crusade' to ease rural poverty, but will it work?
Maria Suarez Bonilla dwells in a thatched-roof hut with a dirt floor and no running water. She hopes one day to have a few pesos to build an outhouse.
"We just use a hole in the ground now," Suarez Bonilla told social workers quizzing her about the impoverished conditions of her family.
She answered questions from her perch on a rock, too listless to swat away the teeming flies, resting an infected leg stretched in front of her.
President Enrique Pena Nieto is trying to end such conditions of destitution with the launch of the National Crusade against Hunger. His government is channeling funds to 80 of the most impoverished of the nation's 2,445 municipalities (akin to American counties) as the first stage of the crusade gets off the ground.
In a speech last month, Pena Nieto acknowledged that a government agency that measures poverty said 7.5 million Mexicans endure hunger.
"We neither like this nor take pride in this. But we must acknowledge this condition in order to form a common front and really revert (it)," Pena Nieto said.
Tlaxcala, in Mexico's central region, is the smallest of its 31 states and does not have as dire problems with poverty as heavily indigenous Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guerrero on the Pacific coast or even neighboring Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico. Yet at least three of its municipalities are among those targeted in the crusade.
In a smattering of its villages, signs of hunger are evident.
"I've seen minors who are 10 or 12 years old and who have the height and weight of children 6 to 8 (years old)," said Anabell Avalos Zempoalteca, the top official in Tlaxcala of the Secretariat of Social Development, the Cabinet department coordinating efforts from nearly two dozen agencies into the crusade.
Avalos said case workers have nearly finished going door to door in the three municipalities in her state that are the first to get help under the program "to see which families require flooring, roofing, bathrooms, kitchens (and) hearths."
Already, they've opened five new dispensaries for subsidized fortified milk for families of young children and pregnant women, she said.
Battles to ease poverty have taken place in different forms around the hemisphere, including former U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson's campaign of social programs beginning in 1964 dubbed the "war on poverty."
Mexico started in the late 1980s providing the poor with low-cost foodstuffs – or more recently, cash. The programs have reaped applause and scorn over the years, easing poverty but also at times getting hijacked for political ends or plundered by corruption.
During the government of President Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-1994), his brother Raul occupied several top posts in the state food distribution company, Conasupo. He later went to jail amid charges he siphoned off millions of dollars.
While Mexico has seen its middle class swell in recent years, poverty remains entrenched. The government agency tasked with measuring poverty last month said that 45.5 percent of Mexico's 117.3 million people live in poverty, or 53.3 million people.
Pena Nieto's National Crusade against Hunger has come under criticism. Some say it does too little to promote small-scale agriculture, allowing soaring food imports to satisfy some 60 percent of the nation's needs and strangling subsistence farmers. Others decry it as an imitation of a Brazilian program called Zero Hunger.
"Honestly, it's very sad that they just copied something from Brazil," said Oliver Azuara, a University of Chicago-trained economist who has evaluated the Mexican program and works in Washington for the Inter-American Development Bank.
"The main failure of this general approach is that you don't provide the money to those most in need," he said. "The money goes to the local bosses."
Azuara said the program should not funnel aid to Mexicans living on poor agricultural land, where they suffer from periodic poor harvests because of frosts and erratic rainfall. Rather, he said, the state should encourage them to move to cities where there are jobs.
In the poorest rural areas, where farmers usually only coax enough crops out of the soil for subsistence, poor families find no alternative to tilling fields.
"The biggest unfulfilled need we have around here is for jobs," said Eduarda Espinoza Hernandez, an illiterate mother of six in the village of Temalacayuca. "We need a factory or something so that members of my family can work."
She takes a visitor from a tin-roofed shed that contains her hearth to the two-room home, and points to holes in the corrugated roof that allow water to leak in.
Her extended family's conditions are slowly improving. Her daughter-in-law, Alicia Gallegos, ushers a visitor into a new makeshift greenhouse built with state assistance. It contains neatly tended rows of tomatoes and jalapeno peppers.
Gallegos pulls a chili pepper from a shrub and smiles broadly.
"These are very essential to us," she said.
Not far away in the village of La Soledad, population 700, Maria Valencia Hernandez admits that she and her family occasionally go to bed hungry.
When conditions improve a bit, they add a fresh egg to their beans or soup, she said, "but there's nothing else."
At least limited health care is available at a local clinic. Under Pena Nieto's predecessor, Felipe Calderon, Mexico expanded access to health care through Seguro Popular, a state health insurance plan that covers Mexicans without formal jobs and unaffiliated with any other plan.
In El Carmen Tequexquitla, a bustling municipal seat, indigenous women line up at a store of neatly filled shelves. It is run by a branch of the Social Development Secretariat and is among 300 such stores set up across Tlaxcala state.
The women all clutch debit cards, which the state agency fills with credit for 2,152 pesos (about $165) every four months. The allotments fall under a pilot program to allow them to buy the nutritional beans, cooking oil, canned tuna, oatmeal and other products on sale at the stores.
Experts debate whether debit cards or cash are better for the poor.
Daniel Constantino Chavez, head of all subsidized food outlets in Tlaxcala, said that by giving mothers debit cards good only for nutritional food, it ensures that poor households spend assistance on sustenance.
Under previous programs when the government dispensed cash, husbands would sometimes take the money and go on alcoholic binges, he said.
Azuara said food might not always be the most pressing need for the poor, though, and that they might need cash for shoes for children or bus fare for work.
"If you provide cash," Azuara said, "a mother knows better than a bureaucrat in Mexico City what the family needs."

VANCOUVER - The intensifying battle between British Columbia's public teachers and their employer moved to a provincial labour tribunal Thursday where the employer defended the right to chop 10 per cent of teachers' pay while the union demand a cease and desist order.
A lawyer for the B.C. Public School Employers' Association, on behalf of the government, asked the Labour Relations Board to rule that lockout provisions including the pay cut and a limit to teachers' hours of work could continue during the union's rotating strike.
Eric Harris argued during a day-long hearing that the employer is entitled to refuse teachers' pay if they're not doing their job.
"Our view is the matter is extremely simple," Harris told the tribunal adjudicator. "We are within our rights under the (labour) code."
A lawyer for the B.C. Teachers' Federation vigorously objected, telling the board the employer was making a "unilateral" cut without merit.
"The employer is being arbitrary. Frankly, they're just making it up in terms of their 10 per cent figure," Carmela Allevato said.
"(The employer) again seems to be pursuing an agenda in order to provoke teachers into an all out strike."
The hearing comes during an escalating dispute between the union representing more than 40,000 teachers and the employers' association, which also represents provincial school boards.
The BCTF is disputing lockout provisions the employer has imposed since Monday, when teachers across the province began rotating strikes at schools across the province.
Harris told the board that teachers shouldn't expect 100 per cent of their pay when they're no longer fulfilling all their duties.
"BCPSEA has the right to lock out in these circumstances," he said. "We have not caused an amendment to the collective agreement."
The 10 per cent pay cut is significantly less than the percentage the union itself calculated for time worked, Harris noted. He said the issue should not be handled by the board, but instead moved before an arbitrator.
Allevato said the employer's refusal to pay effectively alters the collective agreement, based on "a blanket determination" around teachers' workload. The contract provides that teachers are paid an annual salary, she said, meaning that any formula using quantity of time worked as rationale for deducting wages should not stand.
Confusion abounds during the dispute, owing to a wide array of interpretations of the lockout, she added.
Allevato cited a situation on northern Vancouver Island where teachers who received paycheques this week were not only docked 10 per cent pay for the current week of rotating strikes but also retroactively for last week.
The board adjudicator said he'd attempt to deliver a ruling next Wednesday.
Outside the hearing, Michael Marchbank, BCPSEA public administrator, explained the 10 per cent deduction was calculated by looking at the difference between what duties teachers normally perform and what activities they've halted.
"We think the 10 per cent is a conservative number," he said.
Marchbank said if the teachers cease their strike action, the employer will end the lockout and reinstate pay.
On Wednesday, the union announced it will continue rotating strike action for another four days next week. Up to 150,000 students will be off school for one day each in various school districts on either Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.
The escalating job action has had the union and Education Minister Peter Fassbender accusing each other of refusing to move from their bargaining positions.
Wages and class size, along with support for students needing learning assistance, are the major issues involved.
The government is offering a wage increase of 7.3 per cent over six years, while the union wants a 13.7 per cent raise over four years.

Work has stopped on a number of Mainzeal developments around Auckland today.
The construction firm, one of New Zealand's largest, was placed into receivership yesterday and projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars have been left in limbo.
Security guards were posted outside the entrance of Shed 10 today, where the company had been doing a $14m upgrade.
Two Mainzeal staff were observed photographing materials and writing an inventory.
A PWC staff member at the site referred inquiries to head office, a block away on Quay St.
Work had also stopped at the Hobson Gardens apartment complex, and on the Manukau Institute of Technology's new building.
Mainzeal Property and Construction's receivership yesterday sent shockwaves through the building industry and put the income of hundreds of employees and subcontractors at risk.
The company was founded in 1968 and directly employs more than 400.
Industry sources said the flow-on effects would be major, particularly for the small businesses that largely make up the sector.
"It's bad news for subbies. Even if they do get paid ultimately, they can wait a long time," said one source.
Mainzeal is NZ's third biggest construction firm, behind Fletcher and Hawkins, and has been involved in $7.5 billion worth of projects, including Vector Arena and the Two Double Seven shopping centre in Auckland and the Supreme Court in Wellington.
It is building Manukau Institute of Technology's $95 million campus and the $14 million upgrade of Shed 10 on Auckland's Princes Wharf.
The firm has also been heavily involved in several major rebuilding projects in Christchurch.
Yesterday, receivers PwC - appointed at the BNZ's request - said Mainzeal's sole director, Richard Yan, had decided the company could no longer continue trading.
This was due to a "series of events that had adversely affected the company's financial position", combined with a general decline in commercial construction activity and lack of shareholder support.
The BusinessDesk news agency said it understood the receivership was over the failure to make a $1.8 million payment on an outstanding $20 million credit facility. This was "the last straw" in a string of difficulties the firm had faced in recent years.
Former directors of Mainzeal Property and Construction, including former Prime Minister Dame Jenny Shipley, issued a statement saying the firm had passed through a "very difficult year in the construction sector".
They said Mainzeal had contended with "the impact of legacy issues around leaky buildings, a large contract with disputed payments and a Chinese supply chain scheduling and delivery challenge".
On Tuesday, Dame Jenny was one of four directors who quit as board members of Mainzeal Group Ltd, which was not put into receivership.
In December, she and three other directors resigned from the board of Mainzeal Property and Construction, at the request of parent company Richina Pacific.
PwC receiver Colin McCloy said his firm was committed to doing the best it could for the suppliers, staff and subcontractors of Mainzeal.
Mr Yan and Mainzeal chief executive Peter Gomm were unavailable when the Herald visited their homes.
Unions are worried for members at Mainzeal and its subcontractors.
Ray Bianchi, of the Northern Amalgamated Workers' Union, said if Mainzeal couldn't pay subcontractors, it was very likely employees wouldn't be paid.
Like others in the sector, Mainzeal has been dogged by leaky buildings. It was carrying out $15 million of repairs on Hobson Gardens, the two-tower 97-unit block on Hobson St near Spaghetti Junction in Auckland.
Mainzeal built the complex, and negotiations over the repairs were protracted. It also built the leaky Botany Town Centre, currently under repair. It also faced legal action over other leaky buildings.
Fletcher Building executive Philip King said the receivership was a huge shock. Mainzeal's receivers would quickly turn their attention to unfinished jobs, he said.
"Where the contract is going satisfactorily, normally they want to see that completed because that is a source of value."

CARSON CITY – Gov. Brian Sandoval today announced he will include 78,000 additional people in Nevada's Medicaid program as provided for under the federal Affordable Care Act.
"Though I have never liked the Affordable Care Act because of the individual mandate it places on citizens, the increased burden on businesses and concerns about access to health care, the law has been upheld by the Supreme Court," he said in a statement. "As such, I am forced to accept it as today's reality and I have decided to expand Nevada's Medicaid coverage.
"My fiscal year 2014-2015 budget will provide 78,000 additional Nevadans with health insurance coverage through Medicaid, which is estimated to save the state general fund approximately $17 million dollars in mental health savings," Sandoval said. "My executive budget will also help Nevada businesses cope with the burden placed on them by decreasing the modified business tax. My decision to opt-in assists the neediest Nevadans and helps some avoid paying a health-care tax penalty. As part of my proposal, I will also call upon the Legislature to pass Medicaid patient responsibility cost-sharing measures.
"I will commit to working with the Legislature if anything changes at the federal level," he said. "At any point during the Legislative session, if there is any sign of change at the state or federal level, it may alter my support for expansion."
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid today praised Sandoval for his decision.
"This is wonderful for the people of Nevada and for the thousands of Nevadans who now will have health care," he said. "I commend Gov. Sandoval for taking this bipartisan step. This is a win-win, it will save the state money, is good for the economy, good for employers and most importantly will help people. I worked hard to pass this legislation and I couldn't be happier that the governor has made this decision."

Yesterday I did a mini stockup at the supermarket in Bedoin and then went to find some lunch.
I knew there were a couple of places at Crillon Le Brave which did decent meals and had views of the surrounding countryside from their terrace. So off I went having decided I'd eat at whichever I found first.
Lesson #1 - Satnavs can't cope with hilltop villages. The streets get too narrow. This can lead to taking an inadvertent wrong turn.
Lesson #2 - I haven't lost the skill to do the endless three point turn when car has gone down the wrong alley and is now poised with nowhere else to go to go and the camber is very wrong on both axes. Take a deep breath and start very slowly to turn the car round still works fine!
Lunch was taken at the Hotel Crillon Le Brave which has a splendid terrace and very nice food too.
Here are the five sketches I did. They are:
- The view from where I was sat in the restaurant at the Hotel Crillon Le Brave
- My lunch: mediterranean fish soup, aioli and croutons; tuna steak, shaved fennel salad and aioli tartine and a floating island in lavender
- The view from the terrace of Mont Ventoux and Bedoin in the distance

GOP on Obama speech: Told you so
For years, conservatives have called President Barack Obama a leftist radical hiding behind a moderate facade. If the country had only listened, the argument went, voters never would have elected him in the first place.
Now they're saying, we told you so.
Story Continued Below
Forget the president's talk about unity, of bringing together red states and blue states, of being a clear-minded pragmatist who wants to work with both parties, Republicans said after Obama's unabashedly progressive speech to kick off his second term.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama goes on the offense for liberalism)
Monday's address showed that all amounted to feel-good rhetoric to win votes, conservative commentators and lawmakers argued. Now that there is no more reelection, the true Obama has emerged, they said.
"The speech should debunk two myths about Mr. Obama and his presidency, both trumpeted by liberal commentators and Democratic activists," conservative columnist Fred Barnes wrote in the Wall Street Journal. "One is that the president is really a pragmatist and a centrist. Not so. Only an ideologically committed liberal could have delivered the address that Mr. Obama did.
( Also on POLITICO: Ryan slams Obama inaugural speech)
"The other myth is that Mr. Obama is eager to compromise with Republicans but has faced unprecedented obstructionism on their part. The speech told a different tale," Barnes added. "It showed the president bent on pursuing an agenda with few if any sweeteners for Republicans."
Brit Hume sounded a similar note on Fox News.
"President Obama today gave the country a clarifying moment. We may not have gotten to know Mr. Obama, the man, better today, but we certainly got to know him the politician better. His inaugural speech should put to rest for all time the notion much favored by his admirers in the press that he is a centrist. He is not," Hume said. "The president clearly is a man of the left, and after today, his few departures from its orthodoxy should fool no one."
( PHOTOS: 10 inaugural controversies from history)
And, standing before reporters on Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell intoned, "One thing that was pretty clear from the president's speech yesterday, the era of liberalism is back."
If Obama's 2004 convention speech – when he famously declared that, "There's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America" – was the singular moment when he burst onto the scene as a unifying force in politics, his inaugural speech was its inverse moment.
Standing before nearly 1 million people gathered on the National Mall, Obama gave a full-throated endorsement of liberalism – and indicated that he intended to break to the left in his second term. He highlighted agenda items that made liberals cheer, such as climate change and immigration reform. And Obama voiced his support for gay rights – indeed, it was the first time a president had used the word "gay" in an inaugural address.

A new survey on the effects of the economic downturn shows many more Americans than previously reported have been profoundly touched by joblessness and its related hardships.
In addition, the survey, by scholars at Rutgers University, shows more Americans than previously thought blame illegal immigration for the problem of unemployment — more than blame Wall Street bankers, or George W. Bush, or Barack Obama.
So what is Washington doing amid these deep economic anxieties? Working on a bipartisan plan that would begin with the mass, immediate legalization of illegal immigrants, before any border security or enforcement measures.
That those two facts exist simultaneously — deep fears about the economy and a political fixation on immigration reform — is just one illustration of a disconnect between national political leaders and the people who elected them.

The Flatiron District is named after the Flatiron Building, an iconic triangular building that is one of the oldest original skyscrapers in New York City. The building was considered groundbreaking at the time of its construction in 1902, and now symbolizes both the historical importance and innovative spirit that defines the area.
Based on SquareFoot's commercial real estate leasing data, the average Flatiron office for rent costs around $70 per square foot. Office space for rent in Class A buildings costs an average of $88 per square foot, while Class B office space for rent leases for $68 per square foot. These average asking rents to not account for Flatiron's vast sublease market, where offices in Class B spaces can be secured for $45-$65 per square foot.
Flatiron Office Space | Lease Data & Trends
Flatiron District, defined as between Union Square and Madison Square Park, has more than 31 million square feet of commercial real estate inventory, but direct vacancy rate is one of the lowest in New York at 3% (as of 2018, the city average is around 8%). Despite low availability, demand for Flatiron office space remains high, in part to be at the heart of the NYC's startup scene. Rental rates vary by building class, lease length, building amenities, and much more. To better understand the nuances of the commercial real estate leasing process, review our Leasopedia resources.
The Flatiron District is widely recognized as the center of Silicon Alley, New York's technology hub. Startups, publishers, fashion designers, nonprofits, consulting firms, and advertising agencies work side-by-side. Notable recent leases signed include Yelp (154,000 square feet at 104 5th Ave), Tiffany & Co. (17,00 square feet at 53 West 23rd Street), Betterment (16,909 square feet at 61 West 23rd Street), WeWork (35 East 21st Street and 511 West 25th Street), Buzzfeed, Spotify, and Yext.

Flatiron & Midtown South | Market Sentiment
Midtown South is the country's tightest commercial real estate market entering the third quarter, and the vacancy rate decreased an additional 80 basis points in Q3 2018, representing a post- recessionary record low. Unrelenting demand and limited vacancies resulted in Midtown South's sixth consecutive quarter of positive net absorption. 2018 office space lease volume is on pace for its most active year since 2014.
Commercial real estate performance was especially strong at the top of the market. Class A office spaces accounted for 94 percent of Midtown South's positive absorption, dropping that segment's vacancy rate by 140 basis points quarter-over-quarter. In 2011, Class A office space for rent in Flatiron and Midtown South averaged around $60 per square foot, well below today's average asking rent of around $90 per square foot.
For budget-tight businesses seeking to set up shop in the heart of Silicon Alley, the office sublease market presents numerous enticing options for flexible, affordable office space. Office subleases in Flatiron can be signed in the $50-$60 per square foot range, especially in Class B or Class C buildings on numbered streets (avenue addresses tend to have higher asking rents).
What Our Brokers Say About Flatiron Office Space for Rent
Madison Square Park, fully restored in 2001, is just north of the building the neighborhood is named for. Over 50,000 people visit daily, it's the perfect spot for both locals and tourists to take lunch, enjoy a coffee, or people watch.
Due to zoning laws, many of the tallest buildings are still no higher than 20 stories. Older buildings along the side streets are often only 3-6 stories tall. These smaller buildings mean that tenants seeking square footage of 5,000 or less can enjoy the privacy of occupying their own floor, which is rare in other parts of the city. With more modest floor plans with high ceilings, many spaces are ideal for open office concepts.
Since the formation of the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership Business Improvement District (BID) in 2006, over 2.2 million in funds are invested annually in the neighborhood's sanitation, public safety, marketing, social services, and public improvements. Due to the BID's dedication to a clean and safe area, Flatiron is increasingly attractive for families and young professionals looking for a strong sense of community. There are currently 247 new residential units, including luxury rental condominiums, planned or under construction.
Flatiron District | Fitness and Food Culture
In response to the high number of young workers, the fitness and wellness sector has rapidly taken hold of Flatiron, with 47 fitness gyms and studios available within walking distance and companies like Athleta, Equinox, and Sweaty Betty renting office space.
As much as fitness is a part of the Flatiron culture, so is food. Host business meetings at Eleven Madison Park, Craft, Gramercy Tavern, and Cosme, or take a more casual outing to Shake Shack, Tappo Thin Crust, Live Bait, and Eisenberg Sandwich Shop. Flatiron is also home to Eataly, a 58,000 square foot Italian marketplace with seven unique restaurants that opened in 2010. During the summer, workers can choose from dozens of food trucks at Madison Square Eats. For a more complete list of things to do in the Flatiron District, check out our Best of Flatiron neighborhood guide.
Flatiron District | Neighborhood History
After evolving from the commercial "Toy District" to a more residential neighborhood, Flatiron was briefly referred to as the "Photo District" from the 1960s-1980s. Expansive lofts with plenty of natural light and relatively cheap rent were ideal for photographers. The appeal of these unique loft-style buildings brought an influx of tech and media companies, once again changing the character of the neighborhood until it officially became the Flatiron District in the mid-1980s.
Getting to, From, and Around the Flatiron District
Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 18:1 in Flatiron, so it's no surprise that Flatiron has a walk score of 100% and is considered the 6th most walkable neighborhood in Manhattan. Foot traffic can be heavy during the day and at lunch time but lightens up in the evening. Bikers have access to 13 bike share stations and approximately 500 docking spaces within the district.
Flatiron's transit score is also 100%. In addition to 24 bus lines that pass through Flatiron, commuters can take the F, M, N, R or 6 trains. Many choose to make slightly longer walks from express stops at Grand Central Station, Penn Station, Herald Square, or Union Square, which provide additional access to the 4, 5, A, C, E, B, D, N, Q, and L trains, as well as Amtrak and Metro North.
Flatiron is bordered by Greenwich Village to the south, Chelsea to the west, NoMad to the north, and Gramercy Park to the east.

Nutri-Vet Hip & Joint Veterinary Strength Level 3 For Dogs 90 Liver Chewables
Nutri Vet Hip And Joint Veterinary Strength Level 3 Advanced Care Liver Chewables For Dogs provides high levels of ingredients that help maintain healthy joint function in dogs with a previous injury or over 9 years of age. Hip & Joint Level 3 Chewables provide 500 mg of glucosamine, 400 mg of chondroitin, 50 mg MSM and 6 mg of hyaluronic acid to help maintain healthy canine joint function and connective tissue. This product is formulated especially for large and elderly dogs with long-standing joint problems.
Nutri-Vet Joint Care supplements provide natural alternatives to help maintain healthy connective tissue, support joint function, and promote quality of life. Joint supplements are formulated in a variety of flavors and forms featuring three distinct levels to help customers choose the supplement most appropriate for a dog's specific needs.
What is the "Natural Smoke Flavor" in your soft chews for dogs?Natural smoke flavor is made by spraying smoke from a wood fire with water and condensing it into a liquid. The undesirable components separate from the water-soluble smoke and are then filtered and removed, and the healthful and flavorful parts, being water-soluble, are retained in the condensate. The process is natural and yields only the natural, healthy, flavor-rich smoke elements in liquid form.
Can I give my senior dog aspirin?Aspirin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, is ok for the temporary relief of pain. However, according to a report in the 1999 New England Journal of Medicine, NSAIDS were the 15th leading cause of death in people in the US. Reporting of adverse drug reactions in pets is rarely done by veterinarians or pet owners, so finding information on NSAID reactions is difficult. Based upon the experience of many veterinarians, reactions to medicines including antibiotics, corticosteroids and NSAIDS seem to be at least as common in pets as they are in people. Using NSAIDS wisely, on an as-needed basis, and relying instead on a natural joint supplement for chronic therapy, is the safest approach to treating arthritis in both people and pets.
What's with all the anxious animals lately?The anxiety levels of animals seems to be on the upswing, and subsequently more veterinarians are prescribing sedatives and calming drugs like Prozac, that unfortunately tends to produce sleepy, lethargic pets. Supplements containing blends of natural herbs or mixtures of chamomile, ginger and tryptophan help reduce anxieties without sluggishness and disorientation.
I feed my old Golden a dog food containing glucosamine and chondroitin. Is it OK to give him Nutri-Vet Hip & Joint Biscuits?It is generally accepted by veterinarians that larger, older breeds predisposed to joint conditions may benefit from 500 mg of glucosamine once or twice daily. Many brands of premium pet food sold in pet specialty stores contain only 200 to 800 mg of glucosamine per kg (2.2 pounds) of food - not body weight - thus making it difficult for dogs to ingest sufficient levels to promote joint flexibility and maintain healthy joint connective tissue without overeating.
How does Green Grass work?Nutri-Vet Green Grass is formulated to neutralize nitrogenous waste and maintain slightly acidic urine pH. The key components are an extract of the Yucca Schidigera plant and dl-methionine, a sulfur-containing essential amino acid. Yucca contains natural saponins and glycoproteins that bind ammonia in urine (and feces) to prevent lawn burn. It is about 80-85% effective. Several key factors contribute to the likeliness of lawn burn, such as:
Are Omega-3 fatty acids as important for dogs as they are for people?Dogs, like people, can produce some but not all of the fatty acids they need. The essential fatty acids (EFAs) that cannot be created within an animal's body must be obtained from food or supplements. Although most pet foods contain omega-6 fatty acid in the form of linoleic acid, the levels of omega-3 which optimize skin and coat conditions, as well as promote canine health and vitality may not be sufficient.
My 8 year old dog (a spayed female) is beginning to leak urine while she sleeps. Is she in trouble?Probably not. Urinary incontinence means that an animal cannot totally control its ability to urinate. Although a "leaky bladder" is sometimes observed in puppies, it is most commonly seen in middle-aged to older female dogs. The exact cause is unknown, because this problem is usually a response to estrogen or testosterone supplementation following spaying or neutering. It appears that hormones are involved in maintaining bladder and urethral tone.
I noticed that your Bladder Control Supplement contains pumpkinseed and soy. Why is that?Pumpkin seed helps strengthen bladder muscles, while supporting normal relieving of the bladder. Soy protein contains isoflavones that help maintain bladder muscle tone after spaying or associated cause with low estrogen levels in elderly dogs.
I love the effectiveness of Nutri-Vet's Wound Lotion. What makes it so effective?Benzalkonium chloride is a fast acting anti-infective agent with a moderately long duration of action. Aloe contains enzymes, proteins and growth factors that work together to reduce inflammation of the injured area, while improving the rate of protein formation in wounds and pain reduction. Vitamin E is a potent fat-soluble antioxidant that helps with collagen repairs and wound healing.
What causes bad breath in dogs and cat?The most common cause of bad breath in dogs and cats is tartar buildup surrounding the teeth. As in people, small particles of food remain in the mouth after eating. Food particles decompose creating conditions where oral bacteria thrive and form dental plaque - a combination of bacteria, mineral and decomposed food. As plaque ages and gingivitis develops into periodontitis, bacteria changes from somewhat irritating strains to bone destroying types that produce hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan, two principal odor causing molecules. Has your pet tried the Nutri-Vet Breath Fresh Dental Rinse?
I noticed that Nutrivet has tablets, soft chews, biscuits and liquid forms of hip and joint supplements for dogs. Why so many forms?We don't know about you, but the folks at Nutri Vet like variety in their diets! They try to make it as easy as possible to ensure your pet eats the supplements. What better way, than to have a biscuit in the morning and a liver flavored chewable at bed time?
I'm a vet tech and another company's sales rep suggested that I find out if Nutri-Vet's Hip and Joint Plus (which, by the way, my dog really likes) contains low-molecular weight chondroitin. Does it?It does indeed. Not to sound too technical, but the lower the molecular weight of a substance, the more readily it may be absorbed from the intestinal tract. Low molecular chondroitin generally weighs less than 20,000 Daltons (a unit of measurement).
What are probiotics? What is so good about Nutri-Vet's Probiotics for Dogs?These living organisms sometimes referred to as "friendly bacteria" help maintain optimal intestinal health by:
Many strains of friendly bacteria are extremely sensitive to oxygen and high temperature exposure. It is particularly difficult to maintain their viability during shipping and storage, which is why most probiotics sold in human health food stores are shipped and kept cool. Yogurt, which is touted for its high levels of probiotics, is sold in refrigerated sections of grocery stores. Additionally, the constant opening and closing of the probiotic container by a pet owner at home may further diminish the potency of probiotics because of the repeated exposure to oxygen.

100% 1 of 1 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.
I've never considered buying this online before, but when I recently purchased at a well known store the price blew me away. I came home and did a search. Through Lucky vitamin, I was able to buy 2 bottles of the joint med for the price of 1 at the known franchise store. I was happy to make that return! The shipping was quick and flawless.

Information Pages
Option Information
We have created this page to provide more detailed information on many of our options available on our cable products. We offer more cable options than anyone else, and as a result it may be overwhelming. Please use this information to guide you through the options or give us a call if you need further guidance or clarification.
Options available vary by product, additional details specific to each cable are located at the top of each product page.
The following options are explained below:
Body Label Band
Colored Boot & Colored Boot 2
D-Sub Hood
Fanout Label
Fanout Length & Fanout Length 2
Gear at D-Sub End A & Gear at D-Sub End B
Label & Label 2
Shrink Color Label
Shrink Color Master
Connector options are on a dedicated page,
Body Label Band
The body band applies only to male RCA connectors, Neutrik NYS373. It is a completely cosmetic option but is great for connector identification. Typical uses would be black or white for left, red for right, yellow for video. We offer it in 10 colors: brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white, and black.
This defines the cable color for the Neutrik NKTT-XX patch cables. Color available are: black, blue, green, red, and yellow.
Colored Boot, Colored Boot 2 & Neutrik BNC Boot
X-Series Boots
XX-Series Boots
C-Series Boots
PX-Series Boots
BST-BNC-Series Boots
These are available for all XLR, 1/4", and Neutrik BNC connectors. It is a completely cosmetic option but is great for connector identification. There are 4 different boot styles:
BSX for X-Series: Used on all of our straight XLR connectors
BXX for XX-Series: Used for right angle XLR connectors
BSP for C-Series: Used on most straight TS and TRS connectors
BPX for PX-Series: Used for right angle and silent TS and TRS connectors
BST-BNC for RearTWIST-Series: Used for Neutrik BNC connectors
These are available in 10 colors: brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white, and black. Black is standard at no extra cost. When a shrink color label is also chosen it gives you the opportunity for an awesome color code system with 100 possible combinations.
The only minor concern is that the shades of some colors don't perfectly match between the different series. The X and C series match and the XX and PX series match. But the X and C do not match the XX and PX. But in most cases this is only a concern if going from straight to right angle.
On snake cables selecting "Multi-Color" allows for easy location of the connectors in the fanout, as this option gives each channel of the snake it's own color.
D-Sub Hood
We have a variety of hood options depending on the D-sub size. Basically they fall in two categories- Metal and Plastic. Metal offers the best strength, protection and shielding and is recommended for most applications. Plastic while still very durable is best in low abuse environments, but does not offer any RFI or EMP protection.
Fanout Label
"Ch-1" is standard numbering, "Aux R" is a custom label
This is a special feature for snakes with D-sub to another connector. By default the snake is numbered. However the custom label option is offered to make system setup easier. With this option we will custom label the fanout end to match the D-sub connector that the cable is plugged into.
For example if you had a Digidesign, ProControl Audio Output (stereo mode), the labels would read:
"Aux R"
"Aux L"
"CR Alt R"
"CR Alt L"
"Slate R"
"Slate L"
"CR Main R"
"CR Main L"
We can custom label any snake (documentation may be required) which makes for easy setup without the need to pull out your manual each time.
Non-standard or patchbay labels can also be done upon request
Fanout Length & Fanout Length 2
This one is fairly simple, it just gives you the opportunity to customize the length of the fanouts on snake cables. The standard/default length is stated at the top of the specific product page.
Gear at D-Sub End A & Gear at D-Sub End B
This applies to snakes with D-sub connectors. Most analog pinouts are standard but there is a variety of digital pinouts. This is a free option that we request people to fill in so we can confirm that what we build is what works for the gear. This assures that we are building the cable to fit your gear, as occasionally we do come across new or odd pinouts.
Label & Label 2
Custom Label
Custom Label on Snake Cable
The easiest way to identify a cable is to put a label on it. We offer a custom label option on most of our cables so that you can have the best labeled cable available. It is printed on a piece of shrink tubing on the wire so it cannot fall off, eliminating missing labels or gummy messes from tape.
You can use the label for anything you wish, like name and phone number, company name, what it is connecting to, etc.
On single cables it is printed on the optional "Shrink Color Label". On snakes it is printed on the "Master Color Label" which is the shrink that connects between the overall jacket snake and the fanout.
This applies to D-sub connectors only. Most gear in the USA has American threads on the D-subs but we have identified some that do use metric, so we offer them as an option for those that need it.
Shrink Color Label
The shrink color label is available on most cables. It offers a color identification but also acts as strain relief for most cables. For most cable and connector it fits under that connector and sticks out about 1.5 inches. It adds a stiffer section to the cable right at the connector entry to strengthen it and reduce stress on the conductors.
If the custom label if chosen it is printed on this shrink.
For snake cables it is the same thing, just going from connector to fanout. There are multiple color label options in order to identify groups of channels.
We offer it in 10 colors: brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white, and black.
Shrink Color Master
On all of our custom snakes we use braided sleeving on the fanout. At the transition from the overall jacket to the fanout we apply shrink tubing to smooth the transition. We offer this shrink in colors to identify cables.
If the custom label if chosen it is printed on this shrink.
We offer it in 10 colors for most snake sizes: brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white, and black.

Harkin retirement: Jump ball in Iowa
Democratic Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin announced Saturday he will not seek re-election in 2014, giving Republicans a shot at picking up his seat but increasing the likelihood of a contentious GOP primary.
"It'll be wide-open as far as both parties," Republican state chairman A.J. Spiker said. "Iowa is so purple. It's just a really purple state. Our nominee will be well positioned."
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Obama: 'Harkin will be missed')
Harkin's announcement was timed to pop at the start of the Iowa Democrats' State Central Committee meeting in Des Moines. Democratic leaders had been unsure of the five-term senator's intentions on running again. There had been widespread belief last year that he would retire, but the Democrats' strong showing on Election Day - when they picked up two seats when many experts thought they could lose their Senate majority - gave party leaders hope that Harkin, 73, would seek another term. He also had close to $3 million available for a campaign.
"When the current Congress is over, I will have served in the United States House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate for a total of 40 years," he said in a statement. "After 40 years, I just feel it's somebody else's turn."
( PHOTOS: 12 things less popular than Congress)
Iowa insiders expect Democratic Congressman Bruce Braley to seek the nomination. He has hinted at running for governor, but an open Senate seat presents a much more attractive opportunity and he seems highly likely to get in soon. He would initially be the frontrunner, but other challengers could emerge.
Attention on the Republican side will turn to incumbent congressmen Tom Latham and Steve King, both of whom survived tough challenges last November after redistricting.
( PHOTOS: 13 things more popular than Congress)
From some corners of the establishment, there will be pressure on Latham to run. He's one of House Speaker John Boehner's closest personal friends, and whether he thinks Boehner will stay in power for the long-term will certainly color his thinking.
"I can't imagine a world where Latham the moderate and King the conservative wouldn't be headed for a crash-course primary," said a GOP operative with experience on Iowa campaigns. "It's an interesting convergence of those two worlds … Moderates and moneyed people may not want these conservatives to win, but the reality is the conservative's going to win."
( PHOTOS: New Congress members)
King is a tea-party favorite for his vocal opposition to Obamacare. Social conservatives love him for his hard-line activism against abortion. National Republicans worried he would blow last year's race against Democrat Christie Vilsack, the wife of the U.S. Agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack, with over-the-top comments. But King also got props from them for running a disciplined, on-message campaign — eventually, he won by 8 points.

Mo. Man Gets Two Life Terms for Killing Two Women
PLATTE CITY - A 32-year-old northwest Missouri man has been sentenced to two life terms after pleading guilty to killing two sisters while he was high on methamphetamine.
Clifford Miller, of Trimble, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Platte County Circuit Court to two counts of first-degree murder. A judge sentenced him to two life terms without the possibility of parole in the July 2012 deaths of 19-year-old Britny Haarup and 22-year-old Ashley Key.
Authorities began searching for the women after Haarup's fiance came home and found that their 5-month-old daughter and her 18-month-old sister had been alone for hours. Prosecutors also said there was blood in the Edgerton residence, located about 35 miles north of Kansas City.
Prosecutors say Miller told investigators he went to the home intending to rape Haarup.
