STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS - Grading & Discussion [SPOILERS]

Re: STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS - Grading & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Found an article by Jason Bailey.
It's interesting to see some actual resaerch confirms what I've been grumbling about in Trek. Here's what it says about STID:
"Star Trek Into Darkness has two women as well: Zoe Saldanas Uhura, who is tough and smart, although most of her screen time is devoted to the particulars of her romantic relationship with Spock, and the new character of Dr. Carol Marcus (Alice Eve), a brilliant scientist who nonetheless gets an underwear scene that plays like the dictionary definition of gratuitous."
Actually, he forgot the mom, two hookers, and some nurses, although all their dialogue added together was less than Keenser's, plus Aisha Hind's bald navigator.
Still, he goes on to say:
"And the other excuse that youll often hear is the old hey, were just giving people what they want standby that the reason we see so many movies aimed squarely at teenage boys and thus unconcerned with girls (EW GROSS COOTIES) is that theyre the audience thats going to the movies, so Hollywood is merely making the comic book flicks and gross-out comedies that they demand. Trouble is, that notion is bulls***. Earlier this year, the MPAA released their annual statistical rundown of who goes to the movies and guess what, women go. More than men."
So PLEASE guys, you probably have one more shot to do this right plus the ongoing comic series and maybe an animated series and maybe a live Trek series... Please stop sidelining female characters.
Let's see the re-imaging of the Chapel/Korby story in the ongoing comic, lets see Janice Rand hand evil Kirk his a** on a plate and next time they need a psychiatrist, lets see Helen Noel, the next time they need an astrobiologist, let's see Ann Mulhall, and let's see Ilia and Chief Difalco put some time in at the navigator's console.

ACCUPLACER Math Test Prep Reviews
"Your ACCUPLACER math prep course saved me sixteen weeks and hundreds of dollars. Tested straight into college algebra after not having had a math class in 22 years."
"I went to take the ACCUPLACER math test and I scored a 41 back in April. Then I signed up for your class and did all the lessons for ACCUPLACER. Then I retook the ACCUPLACER test and I scored 104. I was shocked!!!!!"
"First the results: I decided to go back to college, and I needed to take the ACCUPLACER math test to get into college algebra. Since I'm not the best at math, I took the ACCUPLACER to see what I would get as well as get a feel for the test and I got a 49 on the elementary algebra part of the test. I needed an 85. I was looking for ways to study and found this program, which seemed to have great reviews. I used it until I retook the ACCUPLACER test. This time I got a 95 on elementary algebra. I only used this program and I almost doubled my score by gaining 46 points. The outcome: This program has saved me 2 semesters and about $1500 in tuition, which is the cost of the two remedial classes I would have needed!"
"I used the program to study for the ACCUPLACER math test. I was able to skip 2 classes to college level!"
"I used it to re-fresh on my math skills for the ACCUPLACER math test in college. If it wasn't for you, I would have failed. Thank you! The advantage of your site to others is that there's no garbage, you can pick what you need and practice, practice, and practice. No commercials, unnecessary visuals, etc. Pure math structure! And you can see progress right away by testing yourself on every topic. When you need to get ready for the ACCUPLACER the only thing you care about is the test. And that's exactly what you guys provide on the website. Thank you again!"
"After rigourously going through your program, I achieved my goal and passed the ACCUPLACER exam with flying colors. Thanks to your system, the ACCUPLACER math results placed me in the 300 level college math courses. Thanks again and I will be sure to pass on the good word about what you have going on here."
"First of all, thanks for such wonderful teaching online – like a classroom environment. I am planning to take the ACCUPLACER math test and I was looking for a great tutor and I found one!"
"I was refreshing my algebra and general math skills since I had to take the ACCUPLACER math test to start at the Community College here. So guess what – I took it today, and tell the "beautiful lady inside the pre-algebra" that she helped me almost "ace" the general math, and YOU helped me come in on the high end of the mid area for algebra. That means I can go directly into the math 140, which is all I need for my discipline. Yeah! Thank you, thank you! I have recommended your ACCUPLACER math test prep program to my 19 year old in her preparation for placement testing, and also to my thirty year old daughter for her kids. It is the best program ever."
"I used your service and retook the ACCUPLACER math and passed with flying colors. I have never been so amazed with a product before."
"I took the ACCUPLACER math and I passed! Thank goodness. Now I can enter Stats 1040 with a less stressed mind and graduate a bit earlier. Thank you for your website and for all the help it provided me. I LOVED it and will use it again for future help! Thank you again for the ACCUPLACER study guide!!"
"I needed to take the ACCUPLACER math test and I have to tell you I found MathHelp.com to be very helpful. Thanks for making it easy!"
"I was told that I needed to take the ACCUPLACER math test. I looked at your demo and was convinced that this was a good program for me. I used it and passed my math portion of the exam, so I am very satisfied with the web site and will more than likely use it in the future."
"I am using it to brush up on my algebra skills for the ACCUPLACER math test. I looked at several other options, but your site was much more appealing after I did a couple of examples. It's been working great and I love it."
"I am using the program to prepare for the ACCUPLACER test. It's been decades since I have taken a math class so your program is perfect for me."
"I had to take the ACCUPLACER math test for college and now I'm in College Algebra. Your program is great! I think I will sign up for another three months!"
"I am using the program to take the ACCUPLACER math exam. I am learning a lot and I find all the instructors to be excellent."
"I took the ACCUPLACER math test yesterday and scored 114 in math and 109 in algebra, placing me into Intermediate Algebra Extended. Not too shabby for someone out of high school almost 20 years and no college math. I am happy with my scores and wouldn't have scored as high as I did on the ACCUPLACER test were it not for your online classes. Thank you."
"The ACCUPLACER test went really well – I placed into the highest level of math (Calc I). All the best and thanks for the great lessons."
"I am studying for the ACCUPLACER test and the site is working well for me. I have recommended the site to many people and will continue to do so."

2010 Census:
Population Measures Are Important for Federal Funding Allocations
GAO-08-230T: Published: Oct 29, 2007. Publicly Released: Oct 29, 2007.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The decennial census is a constitutionally-mandated activity that produces critical data used to apportion congressional seats, redraw congressional districts, and allocate billions of dollars in federal assistance. This testimony discusses (1) the various measures of population used to allocate federal grant funds (2) how the accuracy of the population count and measurement of accuracy have evolved and the U.S. Census Bureau's (Bureau) plan for coverage measurement in 2010; and (3) the potential impact that differences in population estimates can have on the allocation of grant funds. This testimony is based primarily on GAO's issued work in which it evaluated the sensitivity of grant formulas to population estimates.
In fiscal year 2000, GAO found that 85 percent of federal government obligations in grants to state and local governments were distributed on the basis of formulas that use data such as state population and personal income. The decennial census is the foundation for measuring the nation's population. It provides a count of the population every 10 years, and is the starting point for estimates of population made in years between the censuses. Obtaining an accurate population count through the decennial census has been a concern since the first census in 1790. Concern that the decennial census undercounted the population has continued since then. To measure accuracy, the Bureau since 1940 has used demographic analysis, in which it compares census counts with information on births, deaths, and other information. With the exception of 1990, the Bureau's demographic analysis shows that the extent to which the census undercounted the population has declined. More recently, the Bureau has used statistical techniques in which it compares the census count with the results of an independent sample survey of the population. For 2010, the Bureau plans to use similar statistical techniques to measure the accuracy and coverage of the census. Evaluating the accuracy of the census is essential given the importance of the data, the need to know the nature of any errors, and the cost of the census overall. GAO's prior work has illustrated that the accuracy of state and local population estimates may have some effect on the allocation of grant funds. Specifically, to show the sensitivity of grant programs to alternative population estimates, GAO simulated how two grant program formulas would allocate federal funds to states if population estimates were substituted for census counts. This simulation was done for illustrative purposes only. While only actual census numbers should be used for official purposes, this simulation showed some shifting of grant funds among the states when estimates were used. For example, recalculating allocations of Social Services Block Grant funds using estimates of population for 2000, rather than the census count, would result in shifting $4.2 million--or 0.25 percent--of $1.7 billion in fiscal year 2004 funds. Specifically, 27 states and the District of Columbia would have gained $4.2 million and 23 states would have lost a total of $4.2 million.

A Complex Audio System for Broadcast Coverage of the 1985 Presidential Inauguration
The radio coverage of a major news event is an interesting application of audio system design. The coverage of the inauguration of a President of the United States presented unique circumstances which were met with unique engineering solutions which ranged from techniques used in multi-track recording to radio frequency circuits. The systems approach utilized by NBC News is described.

Claudia Kawczynska is The Bark's editor in chief. Cameron Woo is The Bark's publisher.
Meet Kumbali, the cheetah cub, and his new bro, Kago, a rescue Lab mix. You have to see this charming video from the Metro Richmond (VA) zoo about their story. Kumbali was removed from his mother to be hand-raised when he wasn't showing any weight gain in his first couple of weeks of life.
He was thriving living with his keeper, but missed companionship, so they got him a pup from a local rescue group. The two young animals bonded almost instantly. And now are, according to their handlers, like devoted brothers. It seems that cheetahs in the wild have a more "flight" than a fight response, but they are also very social animals. As the video says, "in the wild they form coalitions with their brothers."
So it makes the cross-species friendships with dogs, much easier than it would be with other wild cats. These cheetah-dog pairings in captivity has been happening for over 30 years.
Kumbali and Kago are perfect examples of how well this has worked. Kago provides a calming influence on the young cheetah, because dogs are less fearful than cats and "embrace" the new with more confidence, something that Kumbali picks up on too. You can see why the two have become inseparable.
Early tactile input pays off
As our readers know, The Bark is 100 percent in favor of adopting dogs from rescues and shelters. Giving a dog a new life in a home in which he or she is understood, loved and cared for is a giant gift, not only to the dog but also, to ourselves. It's one of those cliched win/win situations: we do something good for a dog and in the process, benefit from the unparalleled companionship that dog provides.
That being said, we also know that every day, hundreds—or more likely, thousands—of dogs are purchased from breeders for a variety of reasons. The most commonly cited reason has to do with predictability: those who buy a puppy from a breeder are looking for some degree of certainty in the adult dog's behavior, trainability and looks. Taking the wide-angle view, that notion has merit, but when it comes to individual dogs, it doesn't necessarily hold up.
I'd like to say that I'm a purist, that I've only adopted, never purchased, but that would be untrue. In my 20s, I purchased a Dalmatian from a breeder who was also a neighbor. All of the pup's littermates had been sold, and at 12 weeks, he was the last one in need of a home. The breeder had determined that he was going to exceed AKC standards in terms of height at shoulder and size of spots (I'm not kidding--she told me his spots were too big) and so decided to sell him as a companion dog. He turned out to be a great dog, one with none of the stereotypical Dalmatian behavioral quirks.
Fast forward 30 years, and I made another foray into purchasing a dog, although not from a breeder, but rather, from an acquaintance whose Siberian Husky had had a litter fathered by a Siberian mix. In that case, I was specifically looking for a Siberian mix for the very unscientific reason that on some level, I was trying to replace a much-loved dog who had died shortly before. I was guided by my heart, not my head.
In both cases, I lucked out—and believe me, the luck was definitely of the "dumb" variety.
The Dalmatian breeder bred her dogs infrequently and carefully, and the pups were well-handled and well-socialized before going to their new homes. The Siberian's people were teachers, not professional breeders. One could be critical of their decision not to spay their female and to deliberately allow her to mate, but in their raising of the puppies who were the outcome of that mating, they were stellar.
Recently, I read a posting from Stan Rawlinson, the UK's "original dog listener." In it, he talks about the impact a breeder has on a dog's adult behavior and health. Following is an excerpt that I found particularly interesting—it also explains why I'd been fortunate in the two dogs I'd purchased: in both cases, the puppies were born in the home and handled extensively from birth.
Here's the first take-away: If you care deeply for a specific type of dog and are determined to start with a purebred puppy, it behooves you to pay careful attention to the way the breeder approaches the pups' crucial first weeks of life and the environment in which those pups are being raised. (After that, it's up to you!).
And here's the second obvious-but-true take-away: the value of handling very young puppies early and often isn't limited to purebreds —it applies to all pups of all persuasions in all situations. Hands-on breeders, shelter workers and rescue volunteers improve the odds that their smallest charges get off to a good start .
It may take more skill than a belly rub, but should massage only be allowed with veterinary supervision? California is the latest state to propose regulating the field of animal rehabilitation, and it could put many kinds of practitioners out of work.
With preventive health care booming, the state's veterinary board wants to rein in non-veterinary businesses that cater to wellness, saying they "pose a grave danger" to pets and can increase costs for owners. The rule would mean only veterinarians, or physical therapists and registered vet techs, if supervised, could perform animal rehabilitation..
Opponents of the rule say the board has defined the field so broadly, it nets the use of electricity or biofeedback right along with exercise and simple massage used to soothe aching seniors, relax dogs that play sports, and socialize shelter pups.
"It is about defining everything as rehab, even swim facilities and pet certified fitness training," says Linda Lyman, who attended a recent public hearing in Sacramento to air her concerns. Lyman says she has a PhD in physical education, has taken a canine medical massage course, and for seven years has operated Pawssage, a canine massage practice.
"I go to agility trials every weekend and massage dogs before, between, and after they run. My goal is always to make sure my client's dogs can hike, walk, and do things with their owners while and when they quit agility."
As the board's proposal would have it, Lyman is practicing veterinary medicine without a license. Aside from the hands-on, she makes suggestions that could get her in trouble under the new law. At her recommendation, three clients bought pools for their dogs, for example.
In many states, a background like Lyman's isn't needed. Anyone can provide animal massage, including evaluation, treatment, instruction, and consultation. That currently includes California, where only "musculoskeletal manipulation" by the layperson is forbid. Other states call for direct veterinary supervision of the work, or allow it with a vet's referral. Some require certification, like the state of Washington, where a 300-hour training course in general animal massage, first aid and more is needed.
Whether body workers massage humans, which calls for state licensing but not doctor supervision, or pets, "the good ones survive and thrive and the rest fall by the wayside, certification or not," Lyman says.
In a few cases, lawsuits have accused vet boards that restrict massage of stifling competition. In Maryland, providers of horse massage successfully challenged the state vet board, and a recent Arizona lawsuit argues that massage is not a veterinary service.
Another meeting will be held on October 20-21, when the board will discuss comments received so far, and possibly vote on the final rule.
Lyman sees more at stake than massage, or any one service, she says. "This is about a pet's access to all practitioners who can help it maintain a healthy lifestyle."
and all species too
As proclaimed in the New York Times, Pope Francis is definitely a pope for all species. Like we noted in the past the pope has not only shown compassion and concern for animals but has suggested, underscoring what a previous pontiff had declared, that there is a place in heavens for animals. I'm sure we can all agree that what would a heaven be without dogs. But to see the joyfulness that this spiritual leader greats, acknowledges and blesses dogs is its own blessing. His visit to the White House would of course include a meet and greet with the ebullient pair Bo and Sunny, canine members of the Obama family.
It's also important to note that in Laudato Si', his encyclical on the environment that he warned that, "We must forcefully reject the notion that our being created in God's image and given dominion over the earth justifies absolute domination over other creatures. The Bible has no place for a tyrannical anthropocentrism." Certainly a strong position on animal right's! Laudato Si', translated in English is either as "Be Praised" or "Praised Be," and is a quotation from a popular prayer of St. Francis of Assisi written in 1224 praising God for the creation of the different creatures and aspects of the Earth. "Be praised, my Lord, through all Your creatures, especially through my lord Brother Sun," St. Francis wrote in the third stanza of the prayer. He then continued, expressing praise to God for "Sister Moon," "Brothers Wind and Air," "Sister Water," "Brother Fire," and "Mother Earth."
As noted by Nicholas Kristof:
It was so fitting that this pope took the name of the patron saint of animals, St. Francis of Assisi, and has followed him with humane and enlightened positions. It is wonderful to see him visit our country, spreading his inspiring messages wherever he goes.
Plus brushing tips
We've been hearing from a few readers about why one of the most popular dog toothpastes on the market, seems to have vanished off the shelves, they were hoping we could dig into the cause. Its popularity is such that there have even been reports about one tube of it being offered on e-Bay for $75! We did a quick search at our local stores, thinking perhaps this scarcity was limited to other parts of the country, but our sources were right, there is no C.E.T. to be found anywhere. With ingredients that include glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase, sorbitol, dicalcium phosphate anhydrous, hydrated silica, glycerine, poultry digest, dextrose, xanthan gum, titanium dioxide, sodium benzoate, potassium thiocyanate, it would be hard to think there could be shortages in any of those substances.
We just got off the phone with a spokesperson from Virbac, the maker of this elusive C.E.T Enzymatic Dog & Cat toothpaste, and he said that this product, along with a few of their others, were undergoing a quality production upgrade, and they started to make it again back in July but it takes a long time to get back into the distribution chain, and will be back on the market within 60 days!
Hopefully for those of you who ran out of C.E.T. you will be using an alternative until that time. But here are some facts to underscore how important tooth brushing can be:
If you are new to brushing your dog's teeth, keep in mind that with patience and a few positive techniques, you can help your dog be more cooperative. Or as Barbara Royal, DVM told us "If your pet won't tolerate a toothbrush, wrap a piece of gauze around your finger, then dip it in some flavored dog toothpaste (not human toothpaste—it can be toxic!) or a paste of baking soda and water." Also check out The American Veterinary Medical Association has an excellent instructional video, see below.
And this is a very good thing
We first learned about the microbiome In "The Secret Life of Germs," a fascinating article (with a great cover) in the New York Times Magazine. In that article back in 2013, Michael Pollan explored the subject of microbiome—the microbial species as he notes, "with whom I share this body." The "gut" it seems is all the rage these days. Many writers like Pollan and Mary Roach (author of Gulp) are taking on the subject of bacterial life, many of which resides in our "guts," and how influential they are to our good health and well-being. There is also a new fascinating book by Dr Robynne Chutkan, The Microbiome Solution, that will be featured in the next issue of Bark (winter 2015), along with an interview with the author.
But back in 2013, Pollan observed that "as a civilization, we've just spent the better part of a century doing our unwitting best to wreck the human-associated microbiota with a multifronted war on bacteria and a diet notably detrimental to its well-being."
From antibiotics (both medicinally and from our foods) and anti-bacterial soaps to our obsession with ridding ourselves of germs and dirt—modern life is destroying our microbial ecosystems—with very harmful results.
It was pointed out that, "This may "predispose us to obesity and a whole range of chronic diseases, as well as some infections." Also.
When Pollan pressed the researchers about the best ways to ensure a rich and thriving diversity of microbiome, dogs rank high in their suggestions:
This underscores the findings from a couple other studies that we also reported on. In these studies researchers looked specifically at how dogs contribute to making children healthier, especially related to respiratory aliments. In one study, conducted in Finland, they found that
Children with dogs at home were healthier overall, had fewer infectious respiratory problems, fewer ear infections and were less likely to require antibiotics. Researchers considered these results supportive of the theory that children who live with dogs during their early years have better resistance throughout childhood. They also found that the effect was greater if the dog spent fewer than six hours inside, possibly because the longer dogs are outdoors, the more dirt they bring inside with them.
And the other conducted by a study team at the University of California, San Francisco found that, "Exposing the gastrointestinal tract to pet dust and other microbes early in life prepares it to respond appropriately to a variety of invaders. But since our modern lifestyles involve living in immaculate houses, our immune systems often overreact instead." Early childhood is a critical period for developing protection against allergies and asthma, and exposure to pets can help.
Dr. Chutkan also fully endorses the healthful benefits to living with a dog and getting a dog tops her list of "LIve Dirty Lifestyle Dos." Noting too that "children with pets have fewer infections and require fewer antibiotics."
There certainly are many reasons why we consider our relationship with dogs to be mutually beneficial—we provide them with love, mental and physical stimulation, shelter and food. And what research is discovering is that we are only beginning to uncover the extent of the benefits dogs bestow on us.
For years, I kept a supply of phenobarbital on hand, prescribed by my vet for my mixed-breed dog's seizure. It turned out to be a one-time thing, and eventually, I disposed of the drug. But I can testify that watching her in the grip of it was both scary and confusing.
As dog-lovers, most of us hope we're never faced with a number of canine health conditions. Seizures fall into that category. When they happen, however, it's helpful to understand what we're looking at and what we need to do next.
Seizures, which are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, can indicate a variety of conditions, some transitory, some longer-lasting. Our old friend "idiopathic" --or, of unknown origin--also comes into play more than either we or our vets would like.
As explained on the Texas A&M newswire, "For some dogs, a seizure is a one-time experience, but in most cases seizures reoccur. An underlying problem in the brain could be responsible for reoccurring seizures, often resulting in a diagnosis of epilepsy. Between the many causes of seizures in dogs and the often normal lab results, idiopathic epilepsy proves to be a frequent diagnosis." Other causes include toxin ingestion, tumors, stroke, or another of several related neurological disorders.
Dr. Joseph Mankin, clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, describes a typical seizure. "The dog may become agitated or disoriented, and then may collapse on its side. It may exhibit signs of paddling, vocalization, and may lose bladder control. The seizure may last for a few seconds up to a few minutes, and often the dog will be disoriented or anxious afterward. Occasionally, a dog may be blind for a short period of time."
When a dog is in the grip of a seizure, there's little we can do, other than to keep our hands away from his or her mouth. Afterward, the most important thing we can do is take the pup to the vet for investigation into the cause. Fortunately, a number of treatments, ranging from allopathic (Western medicine) to complementary (including acupunture) exist.
Like most things, especially those related to health, knowing what we're dealing with is half the battle.
For more on this topic, read Dr. Sophia Yin's excellent overview.
It looks like we soon may be able to chalk up another win for the power of the canine nose.
In a recent UK National Health Service (NHS) preliminary study, trained dogs were able to sniff out prostate cancer 9 out of 10 times, making them a more accurate predictor than the standard (but controversial) Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) screening test, which has a high "false positive" rate.
For men of a certain age, the prostate goes from a background to a foreground worry. The walnut-sized gland circles the neck of the male bladder, and when it starts causing problems, there can be a number of reasons. The most serious is cancer. To arrive at a definitive diagnosis requires a biopsy, which--like any surgery--comes with its own risks. And this is why the "false positive" rate matters: in order to make a decision to go ahead with a biopsy, a man needs to have a pretty good idea that it's needed. The more accurate the screening, the fewer unnecessary biopsies.
Based on the success of the preliminary study, the NHS has recently authorized clinical trials to more definitively test the canine ability to identify prostate cancer. Dogs trained by the group Medical Detection Dogs will be taking part in the upcoming trials. This group, co-founded by by Dr. Claire Guest, was among those profiled in Barbara Robertson's Wonder Dogs article; click on over to read more about it.
The Bark interview with photographer Amanda Jones
In the great tradition of itinerant photographers, Amanda Jones travels from town to town taking portraits. For more than two decades, she's used her camera to write the stories of dogs nationwide, capturing them at specific moments in their lives. For her new book, Dog Years (Chronicle Books), Jones extended the narratives of 30 of her subjects—including Bark's late, great "founding dog," Nell—by pairing photos of their youthful and mature selves. She shares her insights with Bark art director Cameron Woo.
The term "dog years" suggests time compressed, measuring experiences on another level. What does it mean to you?
I assume that, like me, those who have dogs come to realize that their human lifespan can accommodate those of several canines. My first dog, Lily, who is featured in the book, had a great long life with me: from 12 weeks to 14 years. She moved with me across the U.S several times, she saw the birth of my daughter, she ushered out older rescues and welcomed in new puppies. Now, she's gone, and as adults, those "new puppies" are welcoming in new rescues. I'm aging as well, and each one of those lives—whether arriving or departing—has an impact on me and on my family.
After all this time, what have you learned about dogs and their people?
Like humans, each dog is unique. They may share many physical similarities, but even siblings from the same litter display distinctive personalities. As for the people … I've worked with a wide range of personalities but they all share one thing: they love their animals.
When you were reunited with the dogs for these shoots, sometimes as much as 15 years later, did any of them seem to remember you?
Whether they remembered me specifically, I can't say with certainty. I do think they remembered the process of the photo shoot and being on the set. In each case, the second shoot seemed to work that much easier. Or, maybe older dogs allow themselves to be more easily manipulated for a treat!
When I look at your portraits, I find myself drawn to the dogs' eyes—they're so powerful. What do you try to capture when you photograph your subjects?
I don't go into a shoot expecting anything specific; I tend to let dogs dictate the nature of the session. If they love balls, then we play with balls and work from that activity. If they like to lie around and be mellow, I get creative and do some interesting portrait work.
What's it like to connect with people and their dogs over time and across the country?
I have the best clients in the world; they're the reason I get up in the morning and do what I do. In many cases, they have become best friends. I travel a lot and, as you can imagine, each trip presents logistical hurdles. These days, I have clients who are willing to share things that make my time on the road much more pleasant: places to stay, cars to drive, home-cooked meals to eat. And, of course, dogs are the glue that holds us together. What could be better than that?
As you assembled these matchups, did anything in particular jump out at you?
As you mentioned, it's all about the eyes. Peering into those eyes several years later, I still see that certain spark. The muzzle goes gray and the body gets lumpy and jowly, but the soul is still the same. It amazes me.
What about the dogs in your life today?
There's Benny, a shorthaired, silver-dapple Dachshund, and Ladybug, a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix. Ladybug is a recent rescue; her photo was posted on Instagram through an NYC rescue group and the second I saw it, I knew she was the dog for our family. Social media is an amazing way to spread awareness of animals in need of homes! And, of course, I still miss Lily, who inspired Dog Years.
When the juggernaut that was Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in August 2005, it taught the nation some hard lessons about the need to provide disaster assistance for both people and their companion animals. When told by emergency personnel that they couldn't bring their four-legged family members with them, many chose to stay behind rather than abandon the dogs and cats who trusted them.
In the days and weeks that followed, groups and individuals from across the country converged on the Gulf Coast for what's been called the largest animal rescue operation in history. The following year, Congress passed the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act, which directed FEMA to take the essential needs of individuals with household pets and service animals, and of the animals themselves, into account.
Ten years on, the phrase "Not without my dog" has been taken seriously, and the depth of emotion that binds us to our animal companions continues to inspire.
Sally. Among the first group of dogs evacuated from New Orleans by the Marin Humane Society, Sally landed at San Francisco International Airport on September 11, 2005, and within hours, was charming the local media right out of its collective socks. A few days later, she was photographed for her debut as Bark's Winter 2005 cover dog. According to her person, Sheri Cardo, 11-year-old, Sally continues to spread her Pit Bull love far and wide.
Katrina. While Bill Daugaard was leading a rescue team in New Orleans' Eighth Ward in September 2005, he watched the liberation of a dog (above) who had been locked in a house for 22 days. Something about her spoke to him, but before he could put his name in to foster her, she was on her way to Los Angeles. Long story short, he found her, adopted her, named her Katrina and took her home to Seattle.
Boots. The Golden/Chow mix with the badly burned feet was rescued from St. Bernard Parish by a group of EAMTs from the Arizona Humane Society and transported to AHS's Second Chance Animal Hospital in Phoenix for treatment. Shortly thereafter, his foster home became his forever home. For the past two years, Boots (above) has been returning the favor by volunteering as AHS's kitten nanny, helping five- to eight-week-old felines acclimate to dogs (and thus become more adoptable).
Katrina. Each time a helicopter from the 301st Rescue Squadron landed on the 1-10 overpass in New Orleans to take on stranded hurricane victims, an intrepid little Beagle would rush toward the craft and station herself nearby. On the last run, Pilot Mike Brasher (above) and his crew realized that she was alone, and took her with them. Brasher adopted her, and she became his squadron's mascot. Now 15, she lives the good life in Fla.

A rule to ban players from chat for using swear words such as, "bitch" is lame. How do you expect to have a mature website if you can't say swear words, is this elementary school or the internet? It may be a board game, but it's a competitive board game. A bit of trash talk isn't allowed in a private chat room...what is this Runescape? Is the age limite eight years old minimum or am I playing with mature adults here.
My suggestion is to put in a chat filter, it would let the kids leave the game nice and clean and let the adults play like adults.
Well "freshkilla" you can't expect everyone to be able to be as much of an adult as you are
safety first
Crap. I thought this was runescape.
This is a "family" site, and I'm pretty sure that's not going to change. I think the filter should be disabled if both players want it to be though.
Sure, I know tons of families who sit around the computer all day and watch their children play chess.
If you're idea of calling someone a bitch is grown up then you need to get out and amongst adults with an IQ over 80 for a while.
Hmmm, I thought being a mature adult meant knowing that trash talk and calling people names was childish...
Even though I'm sure you're a 40 year old virgin hermit, trash talk isn't as childish as you may think, at least in the US. That's the problem with Europe, full of french people.
No point whinging.
If you enjoy trash-talking and calling opponents ''bitches'' then you will get slapped.
With a ban.
And then he'll be embarrassed as his whole family watches him cry.
No, I'm not mad, bro. Slap me with a ban. Get off your computer and stand in the sun while you're at it for once.
Awww, how cute. See, you've found a trash talk buddy.
right you two, we want a good clean fight. no biting ears, no catching noses, no sniffing hindies, oh! and you can type anything you want that we approve of. go!
got the scots above wading in!.....................watch out, they wear dresses!
Us Northerners, kept them at bay back in the day :)
Only on a Saturday night ;)
There are millions of sites all over the internet where it's perfectly fine to use whatever language you want. Stick to those.
Are they American sites Jamie?

Tires are great...as you might expect for a much higher priced tire.Read All Reviews
James in VA
This is my second set of Roctanes. The first was for a Cam Am Outlander, the second for a Maverick. The Good- great looking tire with aggressive tread design. They perform great on rocky and muddy trails like those found on the Hatfield and McCoy trails. I never lose grip in any situation, which wasn't true with stock Can Am tires. The Not So Good- Roctanes don't consistently hold tire pressure. Two of the four tires on my Outlander lost air at the bead. After 1-2 days in the garage, they'd be flat. On the trails, they'd loose half their air after a day of riding. The new set I just bought in September is doing the same. This most recent set visibly doesn't look plum to the rim of the STI rim they are mounted on. Both of the 8 inch wide tires on the front lose their air. After two sets of these things have leaked on me, coupled with a friend who has had the same experience, I wonder if they aren't manufactured to a tight size tolerance. If you put a bottle of Slime into each tire, the bead leaks stop. But it is annoying to have to put a $12 can of stop leak into a new tire that cost over $100. Bottom line is that if you are going to ride Roctanes, bring a portable air compressor.Read All Reviews

purchased these to go on my scrambler 850. ordered them on a set of sti hd3 wheels. i went with 26x11x14 in the rear and 26x9x14 in the front. even with the same size tires the quad sits a little higher up and is a huge improvement from the terrible stock tires. tires looked awesome and came quick but on the first ride they made it about 10 min before the side wall sliced in two places. I've never had a 6 ply tire rip so easilyRead All Reviews

BY Mouw United States Patent O 3,558,253 BLOW PIPES Wilfred C. Smith, Hackmans Gate, near Clent, and Richard W. J. Cox, Kidderminster, England, assignors to William Allday and Company Limited, Stourporton-Severn, Worcestershire, England, a British company Filed Nov. 26, 1968, Ser. No. 779,144 Claims priority, application Great Britain, Dec. 2, 1967, 54,941/ 67 Int. Cl. F23d 15/02 U.S. Cl. 431--353 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A blowpipe head for burning gas fuel, for example natural gas, in combination with pressurized air having a chamber for connection to gas fuel and air supplies and a burner tube in which mixed gas fuel and air is burnt; wherein a restricted venturi throat passage leading from the chamber to the burner tube is axially aligned with an air nozzle in the chamber to direct a jet of the pressurized air through the throat, so that gas fuel fed into the chamber is drawn through the throat and mixed with the air.
This invention releates to blowpipe heads fuelled by inflammable gas particularly, but not exclusively, natural gas.
The object of the invention is to provide a blowpipe head which produces a stable flame with a wide range of control, while avoiding setting up back pressure in the gas fuel supply line.
According to the invention a blowpipe head including a chamber for connection to a supply of gas fuel and air pressure, and a burner tube in which a mixture of the -gas fuel and air is burnt in use is characterised in that a restricted venturi throat passage between the chamber and the burner tube is axially aligned with an air nozzle aligned in the chamber to direct a jet of the pressurized air through the throat.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is now more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawing showing a longitudinal cross section of a blowpipe head according to the invention.
The blowpipe comprises a body section 11 having an axial bore including at one end a screw threaded socket for engagement with a burner tube 12. The bore is radially enlarged over part of its length to form a chamber 13 adjacent to the socket. The unenlarged part of the bore of the body has a threaded portion 14 for mounting an air nozzle 15 having its jet orifice aligned coaxial within the bore.
The air nozzle exterior and the internal wall of the chamber 13 define an annular cavity therebetween to which Igas fuel is admitted by a duct 16 passing obliquely through the body wall for connection to a gas fuel supply.
Coaxially aligned with the jet orifice of its air nozzle 15 is a venturi tube 17 forming a reduced diameter throat opening between the chamber 13 and the burner 12. Part 21 of the bore of the venturi tube 17 is parallel with a diameter greater than that of the air jet orifice and less than that of the chamber 13, this part 21 adjoining the burner tube 12. The remainder of the bore diverges from part 21 to form a tapered mouth 18 with its greatest diameter inner end projecting into the chamber 13 around but spaced from the tip 22 of the air nozzle 15.
The tip 22 of the air nozzle 15 is of frustoconical shape at 19, complementary to the tapered mouth 18 of the venturi tube, so as to define a parallel sided axially converging annular outlet 20 at one end of the chamber, leading into the restricted throat formed by the bore 21 Patented Jan. 26, 1971 lCe of venturi tube 17 and thence into the larger diameter burner tube 12.
A part 23 of the smaller diameter bore in the end of the body section 11 most remote from chamber 13 has a duct 24 in its wall parallel to the duct 16 in the wall of the chamber, said duct 24 serving to admit a supply of pressurized air to the nozzle 15, which supply is regulated by means of a needle principle valve 25 adjustably mounted in the extreme outer end of the body bore 23 by an exteriorly projecting screw stem 26.
The burner tube 12 has an internal baffle 28 axially spaced from the venturi tube 17, said baffle having a central bore 30 coaxial with the burner tube, and three outer helical passages 31 defined by the inner wall of the burner tube and the flanks of a three start very coarse V section thread turned in the outer cylindrical surface of the baffle 28 before insertion in the burner tube 12.
The burner tube 12 and venturi tube 17 are integral or united and are removable as a unit by unscrewing from the threaded socket of body 11. Thus different sizes or types of burner tube and venturi are interchangeable with a common body portion 11 for use in different applications.
A hook 32 is provided on the outer surface of duct 16 for suspending the blowpipe when not in use.
In operation the jet of pressurized air issuing from the nozzle 15 through the venturi tube 17 induces suction in the chamber 13 and gas duct 16 to draw the gas fuel with the air through the venturi tube into the burner tube 12. The gas fuel and air flow are further mixed together as they pass through the bafe 28, part of the fiow being given a swirling motion through the spiral passages 31.
The swirling of part of the burning gases ensures stable and effective combustion in a flame produced and retained at the outer end of the burner tube 12, having especial application in the case of natural gas or other fuel gases which have slow combustion characteristics.
Variation in air pressure is compensated by adjustment of valve 25. Control of the ow of gas fuel through duct 16 and air through duct 24 is effected by controls (not shown) on each of these ducts.
We claim:
1. A blowpipe head including a chamber for connection to a supply of gas fuel air pressure, a burner tube in which a mixture of the fuel and air is burned in use, means defining a restricted venturi throat interconnecting the chamber and the tube, means for supplying gas fuel to said chamber, an air nozzle located in said chamber in axial alignment with said throat to direct a jet of pressurized air therethrough, and a baffle located in said burner tube at a position remote and downstream from the throat, which baffle has an inner through passage coaxial with said tube and said throat and at least one outer substantially helical duct for inducing a swirling motion to a part of the gases passing through the baffle.
2. A blowpipe according to claim 1 wherein said baffle has a plurality of outer helical ducts.
`3. A blowpipe head according to claim 2 for use with natural gas fuel wherein the internal cross-sectional area of the inner through passage of the baille is substantially one-ninth of the like area of the burner tube bore, the internal cross-sectional area of the air nozzle bore is substantially one-third said burner tube bore area, and the total effective cross-sectional area of said outer helical ducts of the baie measured on a plane normal to the direction of flow therethrough is substantially one-third said area of the inner through passage.
4. A blowpipe head according to claim 1 characterized in that a frusto-concial entrance (18) to the throat (21) within the chamber (13) and a frustowhich are mounted the air nozzle (15), throat (17) and 5 burner tube (12), said body portion having connections (16), (24) to receive a supply of gas fuel and of pressurized air in use.
6. A blowpipe head according to claim 5 characterized in that the body portion (11) includes an adjustable valve (25) for regulating the flow of pressurized air through the air nozzle (15).
7. A blowpipe head according to claim 1 characterized 1o in that the burner tube (12) and throat (17) are dismountable from the chamber (13) and interchangeable with burner tubes and throats of other types and sizes.

About the Ambassador Program: This program is designed by the Membership Committee to outreach ASPB's mission and membership to the postdoc, graduate and undergraduate student community. One purpose is to educate these students about the importance of belonging to a professional society to enhance their career and be part of continuing the efforts of plant biology research. The other purpose is to expand ASPB's membership base to our younger constituents to ensure continued growth of the community. Another important role of the Ambassadors is act as a link between the Governance of ASPB and the membership community. The ambassadors will be given a 'buzz' kit which will help them spread the word about ASPB to their peers. In 2011, we instituted Industry Ambassadors as two post doc ambassadors graduated and moved into industry positions, which coordinated with an increased effort by ASPB to recruit industry members and learn how ASPB could serve industry members. In 2015, the Ambassador program was once again expanded to include faculty Ambassadors in any industry, academic or lab setting.
Meet your current ASPB Ambassadors below. For more information on our program or if you are interested in being an Ambassador, fill out an online application for consideration.

Kobe Bryant, Daryl Morey tweet recruitment pleas to Dwight Howard
As the NBA's free agency period started Sunday night, meetings were held, offer sheets prepared and cell phones came to life across the league. And more than ever, social media is playing its role. Shortly after the opening of free agency at 12:01 a.m. ET Monday morning, Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted the following:
Free agency kicking off! Hoping to meet with @DwightHoward tonight. Rockets fans send a message to him with #dwight2houston— Daryl Morey (@dmorey) July 1, 2013
Less than twenty minutes later, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant tweeted something equally emphatic.
Start of free agency is always interesting.. Many teams. Only one Lakers #goldenarmor #FreeAgency #LA #bleedgold— Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) July 1, 2013
Just a little something for Dwight Howard to think about when he checks his phone. And Howard does follow Bryant, so whoever manages Dwight's social media will see it.
It's just an interesting sign of the times that with all the communication out there, the politics of free agency have spread to social media.
Howard met with the Rockets shortly after midnight in the first of his free ageny minutes, according to multiple media outlets.
