The Famous Chimps of Gombe
Written By: Elodie Freymann
Over the course of her life, Dr. Jane Goodall has observed and recorded the habits of many of the wild chimpanzees living in Gombe National Park. When Jane first arrived in 1960, little was known about the complexities of primate behavior. Though Jane made many remarkable discoveries during her first few years in the field, one of her most ground-breaking realizations was that chimpanzees experience emotions previously believed to be uniquely human. Through years of patient observation and thorough research, Dr.

Animal cruelty warrants issued for three former Davidson County shelter workers
A grand jury returned animal cruelty indictments this week against three former employees of the Davidson County Animal Shelter as investigations continue into allegations of abuse there and at the Guilford County shelter.
Arrest warrants were issued yesterday for Marsha Williams, the former executive director of both shelters, as well as her daughter Dana Williams-King. Also indicted was Marissa Studivent, another director of the Davidson shelter.
Williams also faces two felony counts of obstructing the investigation and one felony count of possessing a controlled substance at the Davidson shelter.
Both facilities were managed by the United Animal Coalition, a Greensboro-based nonprofit that took over operation of the Guilford shelter in 1998, and took control of the Davidson shelter in December.
Both shelters had their licenses revoked by the N.C. Department of Agriculture in August.
The indictments stem from claims that the three women neglected to provide humane treatment to a dog admitted to the Davidson shelter in May with a broken back, the Greensboro News & Record reported.
The dog had been diagnosed with paralysis from the shoulders down, but she languished in her kennel for three days with no veterinary care before being euthanized.
That was the incident that sparked an investigation by the state Department of Agriculture, which found abnormally high numbers of animals had died in their kennels at the Davidson shelter.
The Lexington Police Department has been investigating the shelter, as has the federal Drug Enforcement Agency.
Despite the indictments, those investigations remain ongoing, as does a a separate investigation into the Guilford County shelter, by the Guilford County Sheriff's Office.

"We beat it to death. LOL. Hahaha"
Dear Special Place in Hell:
I am writing in hopes of making a reservation for two or more Florida punks who haven't been arrested yet, but probably will soon be.
I am sure you will agree that, despite what I am guessing to be their tender ages, they have already proven well worth spending eternity at your time-honored establishment.
Of course, once they are found, tried and convicted, they will likely spend some more time in this earthly realm before arriving at your most unpearly gates — at least several years, we'd hope, in one of Florida's charming prison facilities.
But we wanted to make sure you would hold a place for them, as well.
If you require documentation of their acts, here is a brief account.
Last Friday, down in Pembroke Pines — in the state of Florida (I'm sure you're familiar with it) — a woman named Verline Barthelemy let her 13-year-old Pomeranian, Mr. Fox, out in the yard while she was cooking.
When she went to let him back in, a few minutes later, he could not be found.
On Saturday, Barthelemy's boyfriend found Mr. Fox's body on the back porch along with a note that read, "We beat it 2 death. LOL! Hahaha!"
Barthelemy called police and took Mr. Fox's body to a veterinarian, who confirmed the dog likely died from being repeatedly kicked. X-rays showed Mr. Fox had a dislocated spine, broken ribs and a broken jaw, among other injuries.
You can find all this information at Local 10 News.
We are sure you will agree these perpetrators deserve your lowest level suite — the one closest to the fire.
True, they have not yet been identified, but certainly local police authorities will be giving their all to track them down and bring them to justice. They've asked anyone with information to call police at 954-431-2200.
I don't know if you guys compare notes or anything, but, just to let you know, we have also sent a request to your counterpart/nemesis/antithesis up in Heaven, asking him to ensure that justice comes swiftly.
Once that happens, we are happy to let our fine correctional facilities, and all they have to offer — hahaha, lol — take over.
After that though, when these heartless sadists come to an end of their natural lives and they show up at your front desk, we ask that you accommodate them in that most special wing of your special place in Hell.
Warmest regards,

Caitlyn stars in some happier photos
Around the end of May, sad images of a pit bull mix who was found with her muzzle tightly wrapped in electrical tape were going viral.
The 15-month-old dog had been found wandering the streets of Charleston, S.C., with her muzzle bound so tightly in tape that the blood flow had been cut off and her tongue was trapped between her teeth.
Her owner was charged with ill-treatment of animals, and Caitlyn, as her case received international news coverage — all featuring that horrible photo of her taped-up snout — underwent a series of surgeries.
Only a month later, Caitlyn is recovering, in a foster home — and showing a much happier face in a series of calendar photos.
Caitlyn was asked by the Charleston Firefighters to star in their 2016 calendar.
The calendar — featuring firefighters, often without their shirts, is put together by the Charleston Animal Society, which has been taking care of Caitlyn since she was found.
The money raised by the calendar will go to Toby's Fund, which provides medical care for animals in need, according to a report on TheDodo.com.
Caitlyn now has her own Facebook page called Caitlyn's Comeback.

CEO who kicked dog charged with cruelty
The CEO who was drummed out of his job after video surfaced of him mistreating a dog on an elevator has been charged with causing an animal distress.
Desmond Hague, who lost his job last year after the video went public, was head of Centerplate, the food service giant that contracts with stadiums across the country.
He was charged Friday with two civil violations of causing an animal distress. The charges were filed in Provincial Court in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the incident took place — inside a luxury downtown high rise on July 27, 2014.
He is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 24, according to U-T San Diego.
Conviction of the charges can carry fines up to $75,000 and two years imprisonment, but it's considered unlikely that Hague will see any jail time.
The video showed Hague kicking the dog — a one-year-old Doberman pinscher — and jerking her off the ground by her leash.
Around the world, the widely shared video sparked anger among dog lovers and calls for the CEO to be immediately fired.
Hague, who had been walking the dog, named Sade, for a friend, issued a public apology. Centerplate, after its board initially stood behind Hague, placed him on probation and ordered him to take anger management classes, donate $100,000 to a nonprofit to assist abused animals and perform 1,000 hours of community service.
When all of that did little to quell the continuing public outrage, the company forced Hague to resign.
Sade was taken into protective custody, and has since been returned to her owner, said Lorie Chortyk of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Canada.
Hague is not permitted to see Sade under terms of the dog's release back to her owner, Chortyk said.

Dog abandoned with couch in Phoenix
A Phoenix man apparently left both his couch and his dog behind when he moved away.
The dog, it seems, tried to make the most of things, curling up snugly among its cushions, where a neighbor took this photo and posted it on Facebook. It was posted under the caption,"Anyone want a pitbull? Our neighbors moved out and left their sweet dog here."
We don't know if the dog made a choice in the matter — opting to stay with the couch over the heartless owner — but if so, based on his owner's callous behavior, he made the right choice.
"The gentleman moved out of his home and left his furniture and some garbage on the curb for pickup, and also left his dog," said Melissa Gable with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control.
The home is near 43rd Avenue and Cactus Road.
Gable says the 3-year-old pit bull is doing well, and has been transferred from Animal Care and Control to the Arizona Humane Society.
Both organizations are now receiving calls from across the country from people wanting to adopt him or help him out.
"We have been inundated with calls people from the public, rescue groups, people who want to step forward and help," Gable told AzFamily.com.
The photo was shared more than 1,000 times on Facebook.
A new family has moved into the home, but they say the dog doesn't belong to them.
Animal control is sharing information with the Phoenix police, who will determine whether to track down and file cruelty charges against the owner.

Directive bans use of gas chambers in N.C.
A simple directive has accomplished what North Carolina's legislature, despite repeated efforts, couldn't — and, as of the middle of February 2015, animal shelters in the state will be all but banned from killing unwanted dogs and cats in gas chambers.
For those who waged battles to do way with gas chambers in their home counties, and those who worked to pass statewide legislation ending their use, it's a cause for celebration.
But it's also a little confusing. If all it took to change things was a directive from the state Department of Agriculture — basically, a memo — why all the years of bickering, grandstanding and politics (both clean and dirty)?
If only the stroke of an administrator's pen was needed to end such a cruel and callous process, why did it take so long?
The memo issued this month by the N.C. Department of Agriculture's veterinary division gives shelters until Feb. 15 to switch to lethal injections. Gas chambers, which kill animals with carbon monoxide — sometimes one at a time, sometimes in groups — will only be permitted for "unusual and rare circumstances, such as natural disasters and large-scale disease outbreaks."
Patricia Norris, the Agriculture Department's new animal welfare director, said the directive was based on guidelines from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), which in 2013 finally recommended against the use of gas chambers for "routine euthanasia."
(We'd disagree with both of the words in that phrase. Ending the life of a dog simply because he's unwanted or because a facility is overcrowded isn't a mercy killing; it's a money-saving killing. And common as the practice is, we hate seeing it called "routine" — which it certainly isn't for the dog.)
While animal welfare organizations, including the ASPCA, Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Humane Society of the United States, have been saying the practice is inhumane for years, it wasn't until the AVMA adjusted its stance that the state decided to take action.
The Humane Society of the United States hailed the change. "It's going to lift that stigma that was associated with North Carolina animal shelters," said Kim Alboum, the HSUS's state director is quoted as saying in the Raleigh News & Observer. "The pound is gone, and I think that's something to celebrate."
Only four of North Carolina's 197 approved shelters still use gas chambers.
According to the HSUS, North Carolina becomes the 25th state with a formal ban in place. (Many states yet to ban gas chambers are no longer using them.)
"To put an animal inside a gas chamber, their final moments are alone in a dark box," Alboum said. "Sometimes they don't die right away. If we have to euthanize animals, at least the animal is touched, at least the animal has some dignity and some human contact."
Among those to recently cease the practice are Johnston County, which earlier this turned its gassing equipment into a work of art, designed to look like the tree of life. In Cleveland County, a fundraiser was held that allowed donors to "whack the chamber" with a sledgehammer.
Shutting down the gas chambers is a long overdue step in the right direction. Then again, lethal injection isn't really something to celebrate. What is? The day we stop killing dogs. Period.

German photographer drawing flak for her "flying" dogs photos
A German photographer is taking some heat — at least on the Internet — for a series of photos capturing dogs in mid-air.
Dogs used in the photo shoot didn't plummet too far, apparently only a couple of feet or so, after being dropped by their (off camera) owners onto a mattress.
Berlin-based photographer Julia Christe came up with the idea of photographing dogs while they were airborne during an assignment shooting photos for an undisclosed animal pharmaceutical product.
The photos were picked up by more than a few media outlets, including the Daily Mail, which called them "hilarious," and the Huffington Post, which termed the dog's faces "precious," pointed out no dogs were injured and noted, "We're betting some of them even wanted to go again, since dogs are just awesome."
Readers, almost unanimously, had, an entirely different view of it. Almost all those leaving comments on the Huffington Post post, called it animal cruelty, with many noting the fear they say is evident in the dog's eyes.
Nearly 100 dogs and their owners turned up at Christe's studio after she issued a call for canine models — and none of the owners apparently had any problem holding their dogs in the air and dropping them onto a mattress.
Christe (left) said she was seeking a unique perspective for her dog photos, and that all the dogs who took part seemed to have fun doing so.
"The dogs were dropped by their owners onto a mattress from as low a height as possible, and the impression of flight was enlarged by wind machines," the photographer explained in the Daily Mail.
But as some commenters noted, even light landings can be hard on small dogs like dachshunds, and — regardless of how far they're falling — the stress and fear it causes constitutes cruelty, some say.
"It's actually incredibly dangerous for doxins to jump, let alone be dropped," wrote one. "Their backs are very fragile and can break. This is more about a photographer wanting the spotlight, than it is art. Shame on you for putting your ego before these dogs' safety and well being."
We'd go a step further and say it's also about websites who pander to dog lovers without pausing to think about what they're pasting onto their sites — the ones that, in their haste to get more hits, slap an "adorable" label on anything dog-related and share it, failing to apply anything close to critical or responsible thinking.
Was Christe's project cruel to dogs? That's debatable. Was it stupid? Definitely (and that applies to the volunteer dog owners, too).
"I really love animals, and so everything was safe, I would never take a chance on them getting hurt," Christe said in the Daily Mail article. "…I feel the photographs show off both the grace and elegance of the dogs, which makes them appear in a slightly different way than usual."
For all those pet photographers who would put a dog at risk so that they may achieve a new artistic perspective, we'd suggest they fling their own selves through the air, or turn their own selves upside down.
Because all those down-to-earth dogs are perfectly happy with the perspective they already have.

Easy Pumpkin Crunch Cake Recipe

Delicious Nutella Cheesecake Bar Recipe
I am a big Nutella fan. It is just the right mix of hazelnut and chocolate in a delicious creamy spread. My kids love to eat it on plain bread or with jam. It's a great substitute for peanut butter. I like to use it instead of peanut butter in recipes. Just make sure that the recipe you're using it in calls for creamy peanut butter and not crunchy.
Easy and Cheap Cream of Anything Soup Mix Recipe
I'm one of those people who loves cooking. I love cooking with recipes that call for cans of soup because they seem to make the recipes quicker and easier. However, I hate how expensive soup is now. I can remember a time when soup was 50 cents per can. Now you're lucky to find it on sale for a dollar a can. So, when I ran across a recipe that allows me to make cream of anything soup for just a few cents. I was excited.
Delicious Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe
The zucchini plants in my garden have been spitting out zucchinis like crazy. There's only so much raw zucchini, barbecued zucchini and fried zucchini that I can eat. I had to find something else to do with the stacks of zucchini that were piling up. So, I did what any woman does when she needs a new recipe, I looked on Pinterest and this is what I found. It's a delicious chocolatey zucchini bread, a little bit of dessert and a little bit of snack.

One of my absolute favorite candy bars in the whole world is Almond Joy. The perfect marriage of chocolate with sweet creamy coconut and a bit of almond crunch makes my mouth water.

ed on the path to a considerable depth, and here and there grew a hardy and dwarfish shrub, or a tuft of wild-flowers hanging over the edge. As they proceeded, the great height at which they stood, and the steepness of the rocky wall above and below them, made Emily often tremble and grow pale as she looked down. A few rods brought the party to a turn in the rock, where the path was narrower than elsewhere, and precisely in the angle a portion of the terrace on which they walked had fallen, leaving a chasm of about two feet in width, through which their distance from the base was fearfully apparent. Le Maire had already passed it, but Emily, when she arrived at the spot, shrunk back and leaned against the rock.
"I fear I shall not be able to cross the chasm," said she, in a tone of alarm. "My poor head grows giddy from a single look at it."
"Le Maire will assist you, my child," said the old man, who walked behind her.

An old priest, a wily hunter, and a young woman (the hunter's niece) hike through a forest to find a remote cave. The hunter is anxious to shoot anything that moves, including a small bird trapped in a cave. Not even Natty Bumpo did that. The niece is prone to fainting. A lot. They become trapped in the cave through a freak accident (which is only the first of two.)
The writing is educated, grammatically correct, excessively Latinate, often odd, and profoundly boring. The niece's boyfriend's words "vibrate in her ear." The priest suddenly becomes an ecclesiastic, and never really turns back into a priest.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Reduces Neuronal Death and Improves
Neurological Outcome After Canine Cardiac Arrest
Robert E. Rosenthal, MD; Robert Silbergleit, MD; Patrick R. Hof, MD;
Yolanda Haywood, MD; Gary Fiskum, PhD
Background and Purpose—Studies suggest that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is neuroprotective after experimental cerebral
ischemia, but the mechanism is unknown. This study tested the hypotheses that postischemic HBO affords clinical and
histopathological neuroprotection after experimental cardiac arrest and resuscitation (A/R) and that this neuroprotection
results from improved cerebral oxygen metabolism after A/R.
Methods—Anesthetized adult female beagles underwent A/R and randomization to HBO (2.7-atm absolute [ATA] for 60
minutes, 1 hour after A/R) or control (PO2?80 to 100 mm Hg; 1 ATA). Animals underwent neurological deficit scoring
(NDS) 23 hours after A/R. After euthanasia at 24 hours, neuronal death (necrotic and apoptotic) in representative
animals was determined stereologically in hippocampus and cerebral neocortex. In experiment 2, arterial and sagittal
sinus oxygenation and cerebral blood flow (CBF) were measured. Cerebral oxygen extraction ratio (ERc), oxygen
delivery (DO2c), and metabolic rate for oxygen (CMRO2) were calculated (baseline and 2, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300,
and 360 minutes after restoration of spontaneous circulation).
Results—NDS improved after A/R in HBO animals (HBO, 35?14; controls, 54?15; P?0.028). Histopathological
examination revealed significantly fewer dying neurons in HBO animals; the magnitude of neuronal injury correlated
well with NDS. HBO corrected elevations in ERc(peak, 60?14% for controls, 26?4% for HBO) but did not increase
DO2c or CMRO2, which decreased ?50% after A/R in both groups.
Conclusions—HBO inhibits neuronal death and improves neurological outcome after A/R; the mechanism of HBO
neuroprotection is not due to stimulation of oxidative cerebral energy metabolism. (Stroke. 2003;34:1311-1316.)

affected by the concentration of oxygen inhaled immediately
after resuscitation; even short periods of postresuscitative
hyperoxia resulted in increased oxidative neuronal injury and
worsened neurological outcome.1Paradoxically, there is in-
creasing evidence that postischemic hyperbaric oxygen
(HBO), despite greatly elevating tissue oxygen, can afford
neuroprotection after experimental complete global ischemia
(CGI) induced by vascular occlusion.2–5No studies to date,
however, have correlated clinical neurological injury with
pathological evidence of neuronal death. Additionally, HBO
has not previously been shown effective after experimental
cardiac arrest–induced (rather than vascular occlusive) CGI.
Postischemic hypoperfusion causes a mismatch between ce-
rebral oxygen delivery and demands.6This mismatch causes the
brain to increase the percent of oxygen removed from the
(ERc) is manifested by decreased oxygenation in the brain's
ecent evidence suggests that neurological outcome after
cardiac arrest and resuscitation (A/R) may be greatly
venous outflow. Extraction during this phase can approach its
theoretical critical value, the point at which no more oxygen can
be extracted.6Oxygen demands beyond this point would cause
decreased oxygen consumption (CMRO2), which is directly
indicative of ischemia. Critical postischemic values of extraction
have been widely felt to be an indirect indicator of ongoing
delivery-dependent ischemia during this period, when CMRO2is
not directly measured.6,7
If diminished cerebral blood flow (CBF) (and thus oxygen
delivery) during postischemic hypoperfusion causes ongoing
cerebral ischemia, improving oxygen delivery should be neuro-
protective. HBO has the potential to increase postischemic
oxygen delivery, theoretically overcoming postresuscitative
delivery-dependent cerebral ischemia. This study was designed
to determine whether HBO would correct ongoing ischemia
during postischemic hypoperfusion, thereby affording neuropro-
tection. The following 3 hypotheses were tested: (1) HBO
delivered 1 hour after A/R reduces functional neurological
deficits caused by CGI; (2) differences in neurological deficits

after A/R correspond to neocortical and hippocampal neuronal
death, and neuronal death correlates closely with clinical neuro-
logical outcome; and (3) HBO delivered 1 hour after A/R
improves oxygen delivery and cerebral oxygen consumption
during postischemic hypoperfusion.
Materials and Methods
Animal Model of A/R
All animal experiments were approved by the George Washington
University IACUC. Single-source female beagles (9 to 12 kg) were
studied using our laboratory's well-established model of A/R.1,8A
peripheral intravenous line was established, and anesthesia was
induced with pentobarbital (12.5 mg/kg) and maintained with
?-chloralose (75 mg/kg) during surgery and preparation. Animals
were intubated and mechanically ventilated. Core body temperature
was continuously monitored. Left femoral arterial and venous
cutdowns were placed for drug delivery, central venous and blood
pressure monitoring, and arterial blood gas sampling.
Animals in experiment 2 (cerebral oxygen measurements) had a
small burr hole placed in the midline of the skull 2.5 cm anterior to
the sagittal crest; a sagittal sinus catheter was inserted for venous
sampling and intracranial pressure measurement. A left ventricular
pigtail catheter was placed for injection of microspheres; a right
femoral arterial catheter was placed for microsphere sampling.
Left lateral thoracotomy was performed on all animals. Ventric-
ular fibrillation was initiated with a 250-Hz square-wave DC pulse to
the right ventricle. Animals were left in cardiac arrest for 10 minutes.
Epinephrine (0.02 mg/kg) and sodium bicarbonate (1 mEq/kg) were
then administered, and open-chest CPR was performed for 3 min-
utes. Animals were defibrillated by 5-J DC epicardial countershock.
All animals were randomized to HBO therapy or standard inten-
sive care. HBO was performed in an animal research chamber (WSF
Industries) equipped with a hyperbaric ventilator (Sechrist 500A).
HBO was initiated 60 minutes after resuscitation and consisted of a
25-minute descent to 2.7 atm, which was maintained for 60 minutes,
followed by a 25-minute ascent. In the group randomized to standard
intensive care, inspired oxygen was adjusted to maintain PaO2of 80
to 100 mm Hg at 1 atm absolute.
Experiment 1
Experiment 1 determined behavioral or histopathological outcomes.
All animals (n?20) received intensive care for 23 hours. A morphine
drip (0.1 mg · kg?1· h?1, with additional boluses as needed) provided
analgesia during intensive care. Pancuronium (0.1 mg/kg) was used
intermittently, only as needed to facilitate ventilation and only after
verification that the animal was adequately sedated, feeling no pain.
Ventilation was adjusted to maintain PaCO2of 30 to 35 and PaO2of
80 to 100 mm ,Hg. At 20 hours, anesthesia was lightened, and
animals were weaned from controlled ventilation. At 23 hours
morphine was reversed with naloxone (0.4 mg/kg), and neurological
deficit scoring (NDS) was measured.
The NDS used was validated in other laboratories9and in ours.1,8
The NDS is a multisystem test of 18 parameters in 5 categories (level
of consciousness, respiration, cranial nerve, motor and sensory, and
behavior), yielding a score between 0% and 100% (0?normal;
100?brain dead). Two investigators blinded to treatment scored
each animal. After measurement of NDS, animals were reanesthe-
tized with pentobarbital (12.5 mg/kg) and ?-chloralose (75 mg/kg),
intubated, and mechanically ventilated.
The sample size was chosen to allow a power of ?80% to identify
a difference in NDS of 10. Using 10 paired samples with significance
set at P?0.05, a mean difference of 10, and an estimated SD of the
differences of 10, we estimate the power of the study to be 0.81. The
results of the NDS were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test, a
nonparametric method. Physiological parameters were compared at
baseline and at intervals over the course of the experiment by
analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Tissue Preparation
At the end of the experimental period, after reinstitution of deep
anesthesia, 9 dogs (4 HBO, 5 control) were perfused according to a
protocol originally described for macaque monkeys10,11and adapted
for use with canines.12Briefly, the chest was opened, the heart was
exposed, and 1.5 mL of 0.1% sodium nitrite was injected into the left
ventricle. The descending aorta was clamped, and the animals were
perfused transcardially with cold 1% paraformaldehyde in phosphate
buffer for 1 minute, followed by cold 4% paraformaldehyde for 10
minutes. The brains were then removed from the skull, cut into 3- to
5-mm-thick coronal blocks, postfixed for 6 to 10 hours in 4%
paraformaldehyde at 4°C, and cryoprotected in a series of graded
sucrose solutions (12% to 30%) in a phosphate-buffered saline.
Quantitative Analysis
Materials included in quantitative analyses were taken from the
ventral hippocampus and from prefrontal area 8a. One hemisphere
per animal was sectioned in 4-mm-thick blocks in the coronal plane.
One block containing area 8a and 1 block containing the hippocam-
pus were selected for quantitative analyses, carefully matching the
rostrocaudal levels of these blocks across animals using a stereotaxic
atlas of the dog brain.13Using a random starting point, a 1 in 10
series of 40-?m-thick sections was stained with cresyl violet and
used for estimating neuronal densities.
These sections were sampled with a systematic random scheme
that prevented counting bias toward any particular region of the
tissue or toward including larger neurons preferentially. Quantitative
analyses were performed on a computer-assisted image analysis
system consisting of a Zeiss Axiophot photomicroscope equipped
with a Zeiss MSP65 computer-controlled motorized stage, a Zeiss
ZVS-47E video camera, a Macintosh G3 microcomputer (Apple
Computers), and NeuroZoom, a custom-designed morphology and
stereology software. Accurate maps of area 8a and the hippocampus
showing the spatial distribution of neurons exhibiting characteristics
of necrotic or apoptotic alterations were produced from these
representative serial sections. The coordinates of each labeled
element were recorded in each microscopic field, typically a fraction
of a cortical layer visualized on the computer display at a magnifi-
cation of ?20, relative to an origin on the section, and the map was
automatically assembled. After outlining the boundaries of layers III
and V of area 8a or the pyramidal layer of the CA1 field at low
magnification (?5) on the computer graphic display in each section
separately, the NeuroZoom software placed within each laminar
boundary a set of optical disector frames (60?60 ?m), in a
systematic-random fashion, corresponding to a predetermined per-
centage of the sampled area that was kept constant throughout the
study (2% in all layers of interest). Necrotic and apoptotic cells were
then counted in optical disectors 12 ?m in depth, according to
stereologic principles. All analyses were performed with a 1.4 N.A.
100x Plan-NeoFluar Zeiss objective with a 1.4 N.A. auxiliary
condenser lens to achieve optimal optical sectioning during disector
analysis. Under these optical conditions, it was also possible to verify
the histopathological features of the counted neurons. Subsequently,
these estimates were converted into densities. In these materials,
neurons showing clear accumulation of dense, globular materials in
the cytoplasm with evidence of nuclear fragmentation were consid-
ered apoptotic, whereas necrotic neurons were defined as cells
showing shrunken perikarya and darkly stained nuclei of reduced
size.14Comparison of dying neurons between experimental groups
was done with a 2-sample t test; P?0.05 was considered significant.
Experiment 2: Oxygen Metabolism and
Blood Flow
Temporal Pattern of Cerebral Oxygen Extraction
Experiment 2 consisted of 2 parts. Part A determined the temporal
pattern of cerebral oxygen extraction and the effects of HBO on
extraction (n?5 per group). Arterial and sagittal sinus blood oxy-
genation were measured simultaneously at baseline and at 2, 30, 60,

120, 180, 240, 300, and 360 minutes after resuscitation (Instrumen-
tation Laboratories Model 1302 Blood Gas Analyzer). The hyper-
baric chamber used was designed so that arterial and sagittal sinus
blood samples could be drawn even while the animal was under
pressure. Cerebral oxygen extraction was calculated as follows:
ERc?(Carterial?Csagittal sinus)/Carterial, where C is oxygen content of blood.
Comparisons were made using ANOVA with posthoc t test analysis.
Cerebral Oxygen Delivery and Utilization
Part B determined cerebral oxygen delivery (DO2c) and utilization—
ie, CMRO2(n?4 per group). In addition to arterial and sagittal sinus
oxygenation, CBF was measured by the colored microsphere tech-
nique at baseline and at 30, 150, and 300 minutes after A/R. Colored
microspheres (NuFLOW, Triton Technology) injected into the left
ventricle of the heart disperse and lodge throughout the microcircu-
lation in a flow-dependent density, which can be measured fluoro-
cytometrically after death.15End-organ blood flow was referenced to
the density in an arterial blood sample withdrawn at a known rate at
the time of microsphere injection. Cerebral oxygen extraction,
delivery, and CMRO2 were calculated: DO2c?Carterial?CBF and
CMRO2?CBF?(Carterial?Csagittal sinus).
The total mass of tissue analyzed for regional CBF using micro-
spheres was used to convert milliliters per minute per 100 g to
millimeters per minute. The tissue sample averaged 80?5 g. Com-
parisons were made using ANOVA with posthoc t test analysis.
In experiment 2, all animals were euthanized with sodium pento-
barbital. In part B, the brain was immersion fixed in formaldehyde,
sectioned, and sent to an independent laboratory (Interactive Medical
Technologies) for tissue digestion and counting of microspheres.
Analysis was performed by researchers blinded to the treatment.
There were no significant differences in blood pressure, heart
rate, core body temperature, pH, PCO2or intracranial pressure
between groups at baseline or during recovery; PO2differed only
during HBO. These physiological parameters closely matched
those described in greater detail in previous presentations of this
model.8All animals were successfully resuscitated.
Neurological Outcome
Animals treated with HBO had significantly better neurolog-
ical outcomes than controls (Figure 1) (NDS: 35?14 for
HBO; 54?15 for controls; P?0.028). Seven of 10 HBO
animals had better NDS than any control dog. Control
animals were poorly responsive, often demonstrating stereo-
typical "running movements" while lying on their sides. In
contrast, most HBO animals appeared aware of surroundings,
were responsive to external stimuli, and attempted to stand.
Several walked ataxically.
Neuronal densities in 9 animals were measured in hippocampus
VI). Total neuronal densities averaged from 40 to 60 000
neurons per 1 mm3in the regions examined (Figure 2). The
density of dying neurons (changes consistent with necrosis or
apoptosis) was then measured. Computer-generated maps of the
distribution of ischemic changes in hippocampus and frontal
cortex were prepared (Figure 3). The percentage of dying
neurons was calculated. Differences in histopathological out-
neurological outcome. HBO animals had significantly less neu-
ronal injury in each region examined compared with controls
(Figure 4a); the relevance of quantitative measurement of
neuronal injury is highlighted by the close correlation of percent
dying neurons in each animal with that animal's clinical NDS
(Figure 4b). Linear regression of this correlation was significant

The results of experiment 2A are shown in Figure 5. This
figure shows cerebral oxygen extraction and sagittal sinus

after A/R but rapidly increases in controls to peak at 60?14%
at 240 minutes. HBO suppresses this response, with extrac-

Decreased serum lithium during verapamil therapy

Article: Lithium distribution in mania: Plasma and red blood cell lithium, clinical state, and monoamine metabolites during lithium treatment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We examined red blood cell (RBC) and plasma lithium concentrations and RBC/plasma lithium ratios in 14 manic patients during lithium treatment as part of the National Institute of Mental Health's Collaborative Program on the Psychobiology of Depression, Biological Studies. All of the lithium measures increased during treament, especially RBC lithium. There were positive correlations between the RBC lithium concentration and the RBC/plasma lithium ratio and their maximal values in a single-dose pharmacokinetic experiment before treatment. After 5 and 16 days of treatment, patients with good subsequent outcome had higher RBC/plasma lithium ratios than did patients with poor outcome. Early in treatment, there was a negative correlation between lithium concentrations and severity of mania. During treatment, there was a negative correlation between RBC lithium and urinary MHPG excretion. There was a positive correlation between RBC or plasma lithium during the first few days of treatment and subsequent reduction in norepinephrine excertion during treatment. At 3 weeks, there were negative correlations between reductions in catecholamine measures and lithium concentrations. These data suggest that there are changes in the sensitivity of behavior and catecholamine function to lithium during treatment. RBC concentrations of lithium appear to be a potentially useful indicator of its behavioral and neurochemical effects.Psychiatry Research 02/1987; 20(1-20):1-12.

ABSTRACT: In the clinical management of heart disease, calcium channel blockers are generally prescribed in combination with one or more anti-angina, antiarrhythmic, or antihypertensive agents. Two different mechanisms are involved in drug interactions: pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic. In the former, the disposition of one drug is altered by the action of another, causing an increase or decrease in its absorption or its modified distribution, metabolism, or excretion. In pharmacodynamic interactions, the physiologic effects of one drug interfere either directly or indirectly with those of another, for instance, by alterations in fluid or electrolyte balance. This effect may be antagonistic or additive. The present work outlines the possible adverse interactions between the three main calcium antagonists and other therapeutic agents, including digoxin, beta blockers and antiarrhythmic, anesthetic, antihypertensive, antiasthmatic, and antidiabetic drugs and contrast media. Knowledge of these effects is of major clinical importance in the treatment of cardiac patients.Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy 01/1988; 1(4):403-9. DOI:10.1007/BF02209082 · 3.19 Impact Factor

As I am over 60 years old, I always love trying products to moisturize and protect without being too rich and greasy. This was a delight to use after a day in the sun and water and using under my tinted moisturizer. My skin looked dewy and radiant and I definitely loved the finish this cream provided.4
When I first received the sample of this product, I wasn't quite sure what it was, was it a hand cream sample? a face moisturizer? some sort of medicine? What? Not the mention the official prescription looking paper it came with. When I finally realized it was a moisturizer, I got online to read some reviews, and lo and behold, one of the first ingredients is paraffinum liquidium (a fancy name for mineral oil). Needless to say, I will not be using this product as mineral oil is pore clogging doesn't allow your skin to breathe. I find it quite disconcerting that the ingredients were not listed on the packaging. I'm so glad I checked and found out the ingredient before putting this on my sensitive skin!1
I received this sample in my September Birchbox and I read on the card that it was a "makeup artist must have" so I was really excited to try it. WOW. It did not disappoint. It is the most amazing smooth moisturizer. I have even used it as a makeup primer and I'm almost tempted to say I like it better than my Hourglass primer... It makes your skin so plump and soft. I will definitely be purchasing the full size of this once my sample runs out.5
This went straight in the trash after using it just two days. I received this in the skin quencher special box, it is horrible. I have oily, acne prone skin. I used this two nights and my face went from clear to have multiple break outs in areas I normally don't get pimples. My pores are all extremely clogged and huge now. I could scrape the grease off my face it was so bad the morning after putting this on my face. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless you have very dry skin and sent woriied about break outs and clogged pores.1

Mega Millions Jackpot Winner Comes Forward
It's been more then a week and finally the person with the winning ticket in Maryland has come forward with ticket in hand.
Shortly after the winning numbers were announced a woman came forward saying that she had purchased the winning ticket and lost it. But now a different woman has come forward with the ticket and it has been verified by the Maryland Lottery officials.
It is not known whether the person with the confirmed ticket is part of the work group that the first woman who came forward, Mirlande Wilson, was a part of. Wilson, a McDonald's employee, claims she was guarding a group of tickets for her and her co-workers but had bought the winning ticket on her own and would not share the winnings with them. She later came out and said she had mis-placed the ticket.
The confirmed ticket secures the final prize of the record $656 million jackpot. Three winning tickets were purchased, each ticket paying out $218 million.

Ghaziabad Development Authority land allotment policy draws flak from HC

The Allahabad High Court today rapped the Ghaziabad Development Authority for allotting a land plot to an Uttar Pradesh minister a decade ago on the very day he made the request "without following any procedure under law" and "at the whims" of the political leader.
Justice Sabhajeet Yadav said that on August 08, 2001, Satish Sharma, who was a minister of state in the then BJP government in the state, had made a written request for a 395 square metres' plot in Shaktikhand under Indirapuram Scheme and the allotment was made on the very same day by the then Vice Chairman of Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA).
"The action taken by the authorities prima facie appears to be without following any procedure under law and at the whims of the state minister.
"In case there exists any policy of GDA in respect of allotment of flats, plots and buildings to MLAs, MPs or any other high personality under any such scheme, the same is not available on record.
"But such a policy would be arbitrary and unreasonable", the court said.
Fixing July 3 as the next date of hearing in the matter, the court directed the Vice Chairman of GDA "to bring on record the aforesaid policy of GDA", besides the correspondence between the minister and the Ghaziabad Development Authority which resulted in the allotment.
The court also asked the GDA to bring on record details of "other ministers, MPs, MLAs and other officers who have been benefited by this policy".
The court also observed that "it transpires from the record that there exists a policy of Ghaziabad Development Authority wherein blood relations of its employees and officers are allotted flats and plots etc." and that though "this policy has not been brought on record either" such a policy, if in place, could lead to "favouritism and nepotism in a public body like GDA".

The Manta Ray
An Article from The Corvette Forum
Alright everyone, start your daydreaming, because GM just accidentally dropped a fairly juicy tidbit of information. According to a leak inside the patent and trademark office, GM recently filed for a trademark for the names "Manta Ray" and "Corvette Manta Ray".
While many of you will undoubtedly remember the original Corvette Manta Ray concept, for those that don't, it was essentially an upgraded aero package for the C3 Corvette. It was definitely… interesting, to say the least. But as for the news above, we sincerely doubt that GM will go the same aesthetic direction as the original concept.
According to our insiders, the new Corvette Manta Ray will most likely denote a trim level between the regular C7 Corvette and the Z06 Corvette, essentially slotting the void that the last generation Grand Sport filled. We will likely see a slight appearance change, and a possible bump in horsepower for the Corvette's standard LT1 V8.

text:
And yet even in one of those cases, the Bureau has made recent progress: Gerena, who last year became the fugitive who has spent the most time on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list and is believed to be hiding in Cuba, is now the last suspect standing from a 1983 armored car depot robbery in West Hartford, Connecticut, in which $7 million was stolen. On May 10, the FBI in Puerto Rico arrested the only other remaining fugitive sought in that crime: Norberto Gonzalez Claudio, a one-time member of the Los Macheteros gang, was visibly aged after 25 years on the run and sported a white Abraham Lincoln-like beard, when FBI agents caught up to him while on his morning jog. The Special Agent-in-Charge of the FBI's Puerto Rico office, Luis Fraticelli, said the former Puerto Rican nationalist appeared rightly surprised when agents stopped him and did not resist.
And yet while the death of bin Laden was cause for public celebration in the streets outside the White House, the capture of Bulger might inside the Hoover building be an even sweeter victory. Bulger's corrupt, years-long "partnership" with FBI Agent John Connolly, told expertly in the book Black Mass and on which Martin Scorsese's The Departed was loosely based, compromised the Bureau's reputation in Boston for a generation and helped the gangster escape capture time and time again. (Connolly, who is serving a ten-year federal prison sentence in North Carolina for helping Bulger, coincidentally is scheduled to be released next week.)
The Bulger victory is particularly sweet for FBI Director Robert Mueller, who three decades ago as a junior prosecutor under then-US Attorney William Weld worked in Boston at the peak of Bulger's power. Mueller, whose ten-year term is in the process of being extended by the Obama administration, now has two spots to fill on the "Ten Most Wanted" list. To do so, the Bureau solicits nominations from all its field offices and then sifts through them to decide what case might benefit from a burst of publicity.
UPDATE 9:40 AM: Boston police I spoke with this morning are suspicious of the timing of Whitey's arrest considering that corrupt FBI agent John Connolly is set to complete a ten-year prison sentence next week. They speculate that the Bureau's recent push to find Bulger after 16 years was partly motivated by a desire to keep Connolly in jail longer. The Bureau has some strong leverage right now to force Whitey to cooperate quickly.
With Bulger's girlfriend Catherine Greig herself a no-longer-sprightly-60, a lengthy prison sentence for her would effectively be a death sentence. The FBI and prosecutors are likely to use her as leverage with the 88-year-old Bulger—if he turns on accomplices (including Connolly) and provides evidence to help aid in their prosecutions, the government might let Greig off with either a slap-on-the-wrist or even no charges at all. Watch to see if the government moves quickly to indict Connolly on new charges and keep him in jail.
Another possible theory floating around Boston police circles today is that Greig herself provided the tip that led to Whitey's arrest. He is reportedly in poor health and the recent burst of publicity around Bulger might have encouraged her to turn him in and hand off the medical care he now requires, in return gaining her own freedom and some of the $2 million reward money associated with his capture.

Saturday morning I had a little lay in then got up for breakfast, sesame ryvita topped with soft boiled eggs and ketchup : )
The day was spent viewing flats with Dale then going to the gym for a strength workout.
Dale made dinner for us which was really tasty. Chicken stuffed with nut pesto, wrapped in bacon served with veggies, yum! After dinner Dale went to his friends and I spent the evening with my flay mate Wayne.
We popped into town for a few drinks , there is a nice little bar which has recently opened that was warm and welcoming. I had one too many vodkas me thinks..........
This morning I had to be up to meet an old friend that is here visiting, so after a large glass of water, 2 paracetamol and a couple of rice cakes with almond butter I was ready to face the world!
I met Eva in Nero and had a soy latte, so needed!
We had lots to talk about and catch up on, it was lovely being inside all warm while the snow came down outside.
I got home to fresh pot of soup made by Dale, he's getting good at this cooking lark! I had a big bowl for lunch and then............
This happened! Well kind of, we shared the jelly minus the fruit and pine nuts, which just for the pictures! I made rice jelly which I will be taking to my sisters later for pudding, recipe will be up tomorrow on here and the rice dream site. This is definitely one you will wanna recreate so good!
I am currently watching Dexter with the boy lazing about till we are of out to my sisters for dinner, hopefully they like the jelly!
Have a fab rest of the day x x
Do you like jelly?
I used to love it as a kid but I find it way to sweet and preservative filled these days, I am super happy to have recreated this old favorite in a healthy and much tastier way!
