I know they're in there, but how do I find them?
Televisions and computers can be confusing for dogs. It's not easy for our canine friends to figure out that videos are merely recordings of life, and that what they see is not really present. In this video, a Westie is confronted with a laptop showing a video of another Westie and a couple of puppies. He seems to be searching for these other dogs, which he can so clearly see, and attempts to...

East Bay SPCA gets creative
The purpose of this video, according to the East Bay SPCA in Oakland, Calif., is to get the word out that adopting pets is the cool thing to do, but it's also just plain entertaining. It shows beautifully behaved, well-groomed dogs of all shapes and sizes. I'm impressed with how relaxed the dogs are. Sure, there are a few tongue flicks and yawns, so there was a little stress, but considering all...

Loving this trend!
My keys have two personal items with them: a miniature Kong and a keychain from Run Flagstaff, my local running store. That pretty much sums up my two main interests in life—training dogs and the sport of running. Any time the two of them come together, it makes me very happy, which is why I was so pleased to see their new window display. In addition to making me happy, it made me think, too....

What is it about some cats and dogs when even the braviest of canines give ground to much smaller kitties protecting their patch—on the top of a staircase, near a doorway, a hallway or just about anywhere where a cat likes to guard?

Problem with Mack, my dad's horse. 11yo Paint gelding, good trail horse, gentle, always been reactive and deals with stressful situations by rearing, but always manageable in the past. A humane twitch usually works wonders, and he freezes and lets you do whatever unpleasant thing (clipping, vaccination, etc.).
Last week the grazing muzzles went on, 'cause the whole herd is fat. And around that same time, Mack started freaking out. (Now, his nose is raw and sore from the muzzle, but it was not when the behavior change started, though I'm still wondering about the obvious time correlation....).
He snorts far more often than he should, both with and without the muzzle. He seems distressed, and stands off by himself, sometimes not grazing. Under saddle, he has started bad, violent head-tossing. I thought his loose tie-down might be the problem, but nope. I took off his normal snaffle bit and put a Little S hack on him, and that worked for one ride, and then he was right back to the head-flipping, something he hasn't done for years.
And you all of a sudden can't touch his face. He's always been a little on the headshy side, but never this violent. The vet came out to check him today, and he wouldn't let her get near him without rearing and striking--he's bad, but he's never THIS bad. I finally got some Dormosedan gel under his tongue, but it had no effect. Then I managed to get a shot of IM Xylazine in him, and again, that barely took the edge off, and he was still running backwards every time the vet approached. She had to give him two additional doses of IV Dormosedan, to the point where he was covered in hives and barely able to stay on his feet, before she could examine him.
She found nothing in his ears. His eyes seem normal. Same for his sinus. No nasal discharge, swelling, or foul odor. She did a thorough oral exam and again, nothing. In short, no physical cause for the sudden behavior shift.
I still want to place the blame on the muzzle, but I'm not sure that's it. I'm going to treat this like a training issue now, since he's regressed back to where he was when we bought him five years ago. If there isn't a physical problem, I'm pretty confident I can fix him again. But what if there is and we're overlooking it? Any thoughts? While neurological problems are a possibility, he has no other symptoms...

Brent Batten: Union offer a step in the wrong direction
I'm not likely to be up for a raise anytime soon, but when I am, I know who I want negotiating for me.
Faced with the prospect of no pay increases for the coming year, leaders of the Collier County Education Association, representing the county's public school teachers, made an interesting counter proposal — more money for less work.
That's the essence of the union's offer Tuesday in response to the district's stated position that there will be no money in the budget for raises this year.
The proposal called for employees eligible for step increases, the increase in pay that typically comes with one more year of service, to get that step increase.
School system Chief Operating Officer Michele LaBute said that amount is between $1,100 and $3,600, depending on how many years of service a teacher has. Those who are not eligible for a step increase because they've reached the maximum pay would get a $1,000 raise, under the union proposal.
In return, the teachers would take two unpaid days off during the year.
The proposal was nuanced in such a way that teachers in different stages of the step scale were treated differently. In some cases, teachers getting $3,600 in extra pay would lose about $600 of that through the unpaid days but still end up with $3,000 more compared to the previous year.
In other cases, teachers getting only an extra $1,000 would be reimbursed for their two "unpaid" days, leaving a net increase of $1,000 in pay. About a third of the district's teachers would fall into that category, LaBute said.
"At the end of the day, they would have an extra $1,000 and two days off," LaBute said.
You can't blame a soul for trying, I guess, but offering to take two days off in exchange for a raise the school district has said it can't afford and won't offer doesn't seem like a winning proposal.
Teachers will argue that they haven't exactly been lavished with huge raises in recent years and in a sense they're right. Last year raises amounted to 3 percent. The year before that there were no raises. In the previous two years the step system was honored for those eligible while those with too many years to qualify got raises of 2.23 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively.
But everything's relative and plenty of people in the private sector have toiled through four years of recession seeing no increase, and in many cases decreases, in pay.
Public sector employees in Collier County, firefighters come immediately to mind, have also accepted pay cuts in the face of a shrinking tax base.
You'd find no shortage of people willing to work two extra days, rather than take two extra days off, in exchange for a pay increase in the $1,000 range.
LaBute said school administrators, technicians and other non-union employees will see no pay increase and will have to take unpaid days off in the coming year to help meet the budget.
Jonathan Tuttle, executive director of the CCEA, said it is the understanding of the union that step increases are automatic. "CCEA recognizes the fear the district has of future funding for public education, therefore, CCEA tried to find a way for the district to honor its contractual obligation to its employees while at the same time addressing some of the its economic fears," Tuttle said.
But if the step increases are automatic, how could they have been withheld in 2010-2011?
LaBute said the union offer, for all of its, shall we say, creativity, isn't going anywhere.
"I responded right there at the table. I told them we could not accept this."
Maybe I should rethink who I want negotiating on my behalf if and when raise time comes around again.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Australian Hostel Cairo
A lovely place to stay
We stayed here over Easter this year. The room we although not enormous was more than adequate. You only need somewhere to sleep! The staff were, without exception, extremely friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and tidy. It is situated in an ideal location for sightseeing.
Quiet, clean, though a little tight
We stayed at this hotel in March 04. We arrived very late at night, it was a little hard to find as one would not expect the entrance to the hotel fronting a street that is less than 2m wide. The double room (204)which was on the second floor fronting the street was very tight but it was clean, no bed bugs! The bathroom was quite large in comparison to the room. The buffet breakfast from 8am was not 4 star.
As this was our first trip to Venice and it was for a special occasion, the hotel was not a memorable element. The location is quite convenient along the San Marco-Rialto axis, but next time I would chose something closer to the water!
A very special place
We stayed in the La Scala in Feb 2003. There had been a mix up re booking and we were installed elsewhere for our 1st night ( 5 star Hotel nearby and V good), taken there and back and put into a suite of rooms as an apology for the disruption. Our suite was beautiful, newly done and spotlessly clean. Decor: Venetian with a modern slant; a small hotel but one we felt had a special intimacy. Our rooms weren't tiny.
They were spacious. There were no bugs and the steel mirrored elevator was a delight. Every floor was designed with a different colour scheme.
We plan to return there this Christmas if we can.
Pleasantly Surprized
I was very pleasantly surprized by this hotel especially after reading the review sent on 7 July 2003. The rooms are small and perhaps more room for suitcases would be useful; however everything was spotlessly clean and the bathroom was very complete-lots of towels and so forth.
The receptionists and other employees were very helpful and friendly.
The hotel is ideally located.
Not really a hotel
This is not so much a hotel as someones house remade into tiny little rooms for vacationers. Dont be fooled by the four stars on the stationary. The room we had was so small we couldnt find anywhere to put our bags. We were also attacked by some sort of bug that lived in the sheets. The last two nights we had to spray bug repelent on us to be able to sleep. It was however cheap and close to everything. It also had airconditioning and a bulit in radio they were very proud of and a nice breakfast.

Testing for and Removing Lead Paint
In this article
Was your house or apartment built before 1978? If it was, there may be lead-based paint on the inside and out. That could pose a serious risk of lead poisoning, especially if you're pregnant or have small children.
Should you be concerned about lead paint in your home? Here are some quick tips that can help you decide whether you need to test your home for lead -- with suggestions on what to do if you find it.

Read the Graves' Disease article > >
What's the Problem With Lead-Based Paint?
Lead is a toxic metal that can cause serious health problems if it's ingested or if dust containing lead is inhaled. Up until 1978, when federal regulations restricted the use of lead in household paint, lead was a common component in exterior and interior paints.
As long as lead paint is in good condition, and the surface hasn't been broken, the paint doesn't pose a serious health threat. The problem comes when the lead paint starts deteriorating, when lead dust and flakes of lead paint begin accumulating on surfaces such as window sills, counter tops, and floors, as well as on children's toys, clothes, and bedding. It can also contaminate soil around the house. Small children, who have a tendency to put their hands and other objects in their mouth, are at an increased risk of accumulating harmful amounts of lead in their bodies.
Is Lead Poisoning Only a Problem for Small Children?
Anyone can be dangerously affected by exposure to lead. But children under age 6 are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning, for several reasons.
Young children have a tendency to put things that can have lead dust on them into their mouths. And the younger they are, the greater the chance a child may put chips of peeling paint, lead dust, or lead-contaminated soil in their mouth. Consequently, young children are much more likely to consume large amounts of lead than older kids or adults, whose main risk comes from breathing lead dust.
Children's growing bodies also absorb more lead than adult bodies do, and a young child's brain and nervous system are more sensitive to the damage lead can cause. But lead can and does affect adults, especially after long-term exposure.
Lead also poses a threat for unborn babies. If there is lead in the mother's system, it can pass to the fetus and cause premature birth, low birth weight, and brain and nerve damage.

My partner and I have been together for a couple of years. I really love him and I love to be intimate with him, but once things get going down there, it seems like it's over as soon as it starts. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I just can't seem to keep up. Any ideas?
I really love my girlfriend and I want to last longer for her. She has never complained to me about our sex together, but I feel like the whole thing just gets going and then she is off to shower. I don't know if the problem is me or just a rushed pattern that we always get caught in. What can I do to make our lovemaking last longer?
As you can see, both men and women struggle with the problem of how long sexual encounters last. There are a couple of different issues that get wound together, even as couples as the question which taken one by one, helps to clarify what is a problem and what is a process. The first thing to ask both you and your partner is are you wanting sex that lasts longer or do you individually or collectively want to last longer during sex.
The first issue, of sex lasting longer, requires that both people agree on what sex means. How you define what being sexual means to you and your partner will help to clarify what you both are invested in extending. For most people when they reflect on their sex life, it is more than intercourse that they think about.
The best way to work on sexual issues is to expand our ability to think about what we are trying to extend. Consider these questions:

Hi Local Mommies!
Whos giving birth at Central Dupage Hospital?? I am, have any of you had babies there before?? Any comments about your experiences there??
Thank u!
Jenna ~ married to ~ Rick
expecting baby Michael in May!
I'm going through Dr Gapinski, his office is connected to the hospital as a PP said... so far no problems, he's super down to earth and told me we can try for a natural birth as long as I don't start screaming at him for drugs :)
I am going with Dr. Gapinski through C.D.H. for this being my 4th delivery. I had my last son with him also and can honestly say I am so happy that I found him. It's horrible to go to a group office and then end up delivering with the only docter that you haven't met yet. Which is what happened with my daughter :( I love that he is attentive and will honestly listen to your questions and concerns and not brush them aside like some docters do. I wish I had known about him for my first two, but you live and you learn.
I had Dr. Gapinski and he was great! He is also the OB for my general Dr., so that's a great recommendation in my book.
I was very happy with CDH. I did have a C-section, but that was after LO's heart rate started dropping with every contraction and they saw meconium in my water. I am so happy that they did the cs instead of continuing with labor when I read about all the bad things that can happen when meconium is aspirated by the baby. Dr. Gapinski's main focus was on having a healthy baby, and that was my main focus as well. He was on board with letting me be in labor for as long as I wanted, until it threatened LO.
Healing from the cs was way easier than I expected and I will be using Dr. Gapinski again.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

PHANTOM PHOTO – If I actually stop to consider everyone who has part in making sure this column is beside your morning coffee on Wednesday morning, I am absolutely amazed the process works so well.
The column must find its way onto the page from my notes on shopping lists and bank statements. That column goes from my computer via the internet to the office computer and then through the hands of reporters, Editor Ryne, those in layout and composition and on to printing.
And if all of that works the newspaper carrier is relied upon to transport that newspaper carrying our Over Coffee visit to your home for reading on a Wednesday morning. When this process is successful, I am thrilled – and on the majority of weeks it does marvelously. And I thank each one who has a part in making sure this column is included in your Wednesday publication and makes it to your home.
Last week if you read this column online, you had the opportunity of seeing a wonderful picture of Jackie Mitchell and her husband Randy and Jackies adopted tiger Angel at Angels home in Tiger World in North Carolina. If you enjoy reading the newspaper by holding the newsprint in your hand, you found no picture accompanying this column. And for that I apologize.
It seems there was a Phantom Photo accompanying our Over Coffee visit last week. My sister living in Italy saw the picture while the proofreader in our Bombay home did not. Hopefully this week that photo is at the top of this column – if it is not I will try another day!
Jackie Mitchell of Massena is the proud adoptive mom of a 12 year old tiger named Angel. Last week I shared her story of visiting with Angel in his North Carolina home. I loved the picture of Jackie and Randy and Angel. Angel seemed to know the love Jackie had for him because in the picture Angel is shown licking Jackies arm through the fenced enclosure.
I thank Jackie and Randy for sharing their picture with me – and hope you each get to see this amazing photo.
NORTH COUNTRY FUN – My heartfelt thanks to the Norwood Fire Department. What a spectacular fireworks display and such fun memories as we went this year with our grandchildren. Now some 30 years or so ago we would drive to Norwood with our two sons. Then we would find a parking spot on a side road leading to Norwood. How they loved the fireworks from the vantage point of a roadside blanket.
This year our once young son now grown was visiting with his wife and our two grandchildren. We drove to the main road passing through Norwood. What a joy it was to sit with our grandchildren in the back of their car waiting with anticipation for a truly amazing night sky. The night was lovely – no rain at all! Perfect for watching fireworks from a nearby vantage point. It was a marvelous time with family and a truly spectacular evening of fireworks.
The Norwood Fire Department is to be commended for their day long activities and for the extraordinary fireworks display. I hope everyone seated along the roadside donated as the firemens boots were carried form car to car. It is important to support all of our local volunteer fire departments. And on July 4 we were proud to support the Norwood Fire Department!
Later in the week we were shopping at the St. Lawrence Centre Mall. While her brother shopped, our granddaughter decided to check and see if by any chance the arena might be open – it was! How thrilled she was, she rented a pair of skates (a type she is not able to rent at home downstate!) and was on the ice during public skating (this grandmother was horrified – she had no mittens, no jacket for warmth and was wearing short, shorts! But she was happy on the ice at the Mall!).
Isnt the North Country a marvelous place to live and skate? Our granddaughter certainly thought so – for in July on a hot, humid day, she found a marvelous place to stay cool and have fun on a July afternoon!
CELEBRATION – Please remember that July 11 is the 100th birthday of Mary Fiacco. Please help me to fill her room at the St. Regis Nursing Home with the most wonderful of birthday wishes. She is a resident in Room 111 of the St. Regis Nursing Home on 89 Grove Street, Massena 13662. Warmest wishes for a beautiful 100th birthday.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK - One can complain because rosebushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. US President Abraham Lincoln

Mastiff Puppy Breeders
Filter Puppies:
With Video:
Sort Puppies:
Thank you for considering adopting a Mastiff from our network of the best Mastiff breeders. The Mastiff is considered the largest breed in the world with adults coming in at some 220 pounds or more. But his intimidating size conceals a good-natured and docile nature. And as long as he gets his daily exercise, he can adjust to living even in smaller spaces like a condominium. If you are interested in adopting a Mastiff, please feel free to look through our listings of Mastiff puppies, you might find one that suits your family.
Find Mastiff Puppies for Sale
If you feel daunted by the challenge of finding the best Mastiff puppies for sale, we can help! We have made it our mission to ensure that families looking to adopt Mastiffs are matched with the breeders who can offer them the appropriate Mastiff for sale that fits their family's needs. In addition, to ensure that families who are interested in adopting make an informed decision, we offer some helpful information about the breed. We do all this to ensure that you can confidently use our site to find Mastiff puppies with no worries.
Breed Summary
Familiarizing yourself with the basic Mastiff dog breed info allows you to decide if the breed is the appropriate choice for your family. The defining characteristic of the Mastiff, unfortunately, is his size. While he may still seem manageable when he is a puppy, once the Mastiff reaches maturity he can weigh as much as 220 pounds and have a height of over two feet measured at the shoulder. But there are many likeable Mastiff characteristics that can outweigh concerns over its size. For example, despite its size, the Mastiff is a good-natured and docile dog who can also be protective of his human family when he senses they are being threatened. He is also essentially an indoor dog who loves being with his people and will even let himself be used as a footstool.
Perfect Matched Breed
Once you have made the choice to bring a Mastiff into your home, we will make the adoption process easier for you. Our network of the best Mastiff breeders will ensure that you are offered matched Mastiff puppies that fit your family's requirements. And once you have made your choice, our Mastiff adoption process will ensure that your puppy will soon be on his way to join his new family. We invite you to read our happy puppy placement page to learn more about our adoption process.
Facts - Overview
As a responsible dog owner, it is important that you familiarize yourself with all the important Mastiff dog breed information so that you can make an informed decision as to whether or not the Mastiff is appropriate for your family's particular circumstances. The Mastiff is acknowledged as the biggest breed in the world and, when fully grown, can weigh as much as 220 pounds. Fortunately, his temperament does not match his size and, if well-socialized when young, is generally docile and good natured, although he can be protective of his human family if he feels they are being threatened. Because of this trait, they can be good watchdogs although they bark less than other breeds.
Apart from his size, there are a number of minor physical issues with the Mastiff. For example, the breed is known to be flatulent. In addition, the Mastiff has a tendency to drool, and when he shakes his massive head, drool can fly everywhere. He also snores loudly. But owners who love their Mastiffs can easily find ways to adjust to these less-attractive qualities.
As a large dog, the Mastiff needs adequate exercise to serve as an outlet for his energy. But if his physical activity requirements are met, the Mastiff is surprisingly adaptable to living even in smaller residential spaces such as condominiums. Contrary to expectations, the Mastiff is actually an indoor dog who loves spending time with his human family, although smaller children should be supervised when playing with him since he can accidentally bowl them over. But the ideal place for a Mastiff to live is a house with a large, fenced-in yard where he can run around and play.
Although as puppies, Mastiffs can be typically rowdy, by the time they reach maturity, they can calm down and become self-assured and well-mannered companions. But to ensure they grow up to be manageable and well-adjusted, early training and socialization is important. However, if you are ready and able to meet the Mastiff's requirements, you will have a loving and faithful lifelong companion. If you are interested in learning more useful Mastiff breed info, please feel free to read the other sections about the breed's personality, history, care and health requirements.
Facts - Personality
The Mastiff personality is something that most people would not expect, given his size and appearance. When he is well-socialized, he is good natured and docile and treats strangers with politeness. However, he is also a protective breed who will step in to protect you when he senses a threat. If you have concerns about the security of your home, a Mastiff can put your mind at ease since he makes a good watchdog that will corner intruders until the police arrive. In addition, Mastiffs often take on the role of peacemakers to family members as he will often step between spouses who are arguing or a parent berating a child.
However, Mastiffs are surprisingly sensitive and do not respond well to harsh treatment. If hurt or treated harshly, they can become aggressive or fearful. So you should teach young children the proper way to behave around the Mastiff to avoid untoward incidents.
But it should be noted that the Mastiff temperament may not follow the general breed guidelines. The specific temperament of a dog can be affected by factors such as heredity, early upbringing and socialization. When you are choosing a puppy, choose the one with the middling temperament who is not too aggressive or too timid. If you would like to get a better idea of what the actual temperament of your puppy will be like, ask the breeder to let you meet at least one of the parents. If you see that the parents have good, even temperaments, it is likely that the puppies will have a good temperament as well when it grows up.
Facts - Care
One of the most important considerations regarding Mastiff care is that you need to meet his exercise requirements in order to provide an outlet for his energy as well as preventing him from becoming bored. Despite their size, Mastiffs have only moderate exercise requirements that can be met with two half-hour walks daily. However, you should not take them out during hot days since their size means that Mastiffs overheat easily; the best times for your daily walks are the early morning and the evening.
When it comes to Mastiff puppy care, while they have more energy and are more active than adults, since their bones are still developing, you need to limit the amount of strenuous physical activity they are doing, such as jumping and long walks. If you have a yard, let your Mastiff puppy play outside at his own pace.
Mastiff training is essential in order for your puppy to smoothly adjust to living in your home. Early obedience training is important to ensure that the Mastiff knows what is okay to do and what is not. Training a Mastiff is relatively easy by using positive reinforcement techniques in which you reward the puppy when he learns what you are trying to teach him. Never punish your puppy or treat him harshly when he has an accident at home or fails to learn. This will make your dog fearful or aggressive and make training much harder.
Facts - Grooming
Knowing how to groom Mastiff is not only important to ensure that he looks good and stay healthy, it also allows you to save money since you don't have to pay a groomer do to the job. The Mastiff has a coat that is easy to care for, and comes in brindle, apricot or fawn. The coat consists of an outer layer or straight short hair and an inner layer of dense shorter hair. The Mastiff's coat sheds heavily so you need to brush it once weekly using a rubber grooming glove. When it reaches the fall and spring shedding season, however, you may want to brush him daily to prevent shed hair from spreading all over the house.
Other important parts of your Mastiff grooming routine are keeping his teeth clean and his nails trimmed. You need to brush your dog's teeth two to three times a week at least to prevent tartar buildup and other dental problems. You also need to trim your dog's nails periodically when they get too long. Although the nails wear down naturally when the dog does a lot of walking, if they do not you will have to trim them one to two times monthly to prevent them from getting torn, which can be painful. Use a guillotine-style nail clipper and be sure not to cut too close to the blood vessels since it can cause bleeding and traumatize your dog. Ask your vet or groomer for guidance on how to trim nails properly or ask the vet to do it during your dog's regular visit.
While you're doing your regular grooming, you should also clean his wrinkles and check his ears. Wipe your Mastiff's wrinkles with a damp cloth to prevent bacteria buildup that can cause infections. You should also wipe the flews dangling off his upper lip after every meal. When you are checking the ears, look out for a bad odor or redness, which are signs of an infection. To help prevent infections, wipe out your dog's ears with a cotton ball slightly moistened with a pH balanced and gentle ear cleaning solution. Don't insert anything into his ear canal since this may cause injury.
Facts - Health
There are a number of Mastiff health conditions that the breed is prone to that you should be familiar with when deciding if you want to adopt a Mastiff puppy. These include:
Hip dysplasia. This is a condition in which the thighbone does not fit properly into the hip joint, which may result in lameness. If left untreated, it can eventually cause arthritis. Although this is a hereditary condition, it can be worsened by factors such as putting too much pressure on the joint by jumping onto a hard floor.
Progressive retinal atrophy. PRA is a degenerative condition in which the photoreceptors behind the eye are gradually lost, eventually resulting in blindness. However, the dog can compensate by using his other senses and it is possible for a blind dog to continue living a full life.
When buying a puppy from a breeder, ask him for health clearances from the Canine Eye Registry Foundation and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals for both of the puppy's parents. These health clearances will help ensure that they are free of these conditions.
To ensure good Mastiff nutrition you need to feed him six to eight cups of dry dog food a day, which should be divided into two meals. Make sure that you give the puppy food that is specially formulated to meet the needs of growing dogs, as well as those of large breeds. In addition, make sure that you clean out his bowl after meals.
Facts - History
The Mastiff history dates back millennia, as depictions of Mastiff-like dogs appear in the records of classical Babylonian, Egyptian and Greek civilizations. The ancestor of the Mastiff is believed to be the molosser, a solidly-built dog that was likely used as a guard dog to protect flocks against predators. Throughout history, these early proto-Mastiffs were used as guard dogs and fighting dogs, and gradually spread across the known world. These dogs were prized for their courage as well as their size.
The modern Mastiff was developed in England starting in the fifteenth century where they were used to guard estates. The breed actually faced extinction at various points in its history, such as after 1835 when dog fighting was outlawed and following the two world wars, when food shortages made it difficult to keep large dogs. But they were eventually returned from the brink due to the popularity of dog shows where the Mastiff made a strong showing.
The history of Mastiff in the US started during colonial times when the breed was first brought to America. However, the first Mastiff club was formed only in 1879. The breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885 and the Mastiff Club of America was organized in 1929. The breed is currently rated the thirty-second most popular dog breed in the US.

Selling South Korea
Lee, B. J., Newsweek
Byline: B. J. Lee
For years now, south Korea has been known internationally for its blazing economy--but not much else. President Lee Myung-bak plans to use the economic crisis to change that. As China rises and the U.S. stagnates, Lee aims to exploit the gap between them, in the process transforming South Korea from a self-involved Asian tiger into a respected global power that can mediate between rich and poor nations. It's a bold vision, and one that, if successful, will move his country "away from the -periphery of Asia," as Lee put it recently, "and into the center of the world."
None of this would be possible if not for Lee's shrewd handling of the economic downturn. Early on, his country was battered like everyone else, but many of South Korea's current leaders are veterans of the 1998 Asian crisis, and knew how to manage a free fall. Lee's team immediately guaranteed bank debt and secured foreign reserves, among other steps; as a result, South -Korea will grow 4.4 percent this year, faster than any other wealthy country.
Lee is now leveraging that success on the diplomatic front. While many other leaders have succumbed to protectionist pressures, he wants to revive a slew of global free-trade deals. At the same time, he's establishing South Korea as a leader in the fight against climate change, agreeing to cut emissions by 30 percent by 2020--one of the most aggressive targets in the world. …

ATLANTA, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Findings from the PRECiSE 3 (P3) open label extension study for Cimzia® (certolizumab pegol; CZP), demonstrating the longest continuously running maintenance trial for an anti-TNF in Crohn's disease, will be exhibited at the 2010 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), taking place in San Antonio from October 15 – 20. Additionally, long-term efficacy data from the PRECiSE 4 (P4) clinical trial also will be presented at the meeting.
Results of the P3 open-label extension study showed that continuous therapy with Cimzia provided long-term remission for more than 4.5 years in patients who initially responded to Cimzia in the six-month PRECiSE 2 study (P2). In the PRECISE 2 double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial, 48% of patients achieved remission at six months. Sustained long-term remission was observed among patients who had previous anti-TNF exposure (77% remission), as well as anti-TNF naive patients (73% remission).
Similarly, results of the P4 open-label extension study showed long-term remission rates among patients treated with Cimzia (naive – 63%; non-naive – 50%). For some patients, disease remission was achieved in as early as 4 weeks (38% of patient population). Additionally, the data demonstrates that patients who are losing response to Cimzia or experience an interruption in therapy can be recaptured with one additional dose of Cimzia. The data suggests re-induction therapy may have long-term benefits in helping patients who experienced drug interruption or loss of initial response achieve response and maintain remission.
"Collectively, these Cimzia data findings are important for patients living with moderate to severe Crohn's disease and the gastroenterologists treating them, as long-term remission is the ultimate goal of treatment," said Cem Kayhan, MD, Medical Director at UCB. "It

Ask the Vet, Sallie S. Hyman VMD, DACVIM: Calming Supplements
Calming Supplements ... Do They Work and Are They Safe?
Any horse owner with a young or nervous horse has thought that there has to be some way to help their horse deal with stress.� There are a plethora of products available that aim to do just that.�� A number of vitamins, minerals and herbs are used to help horses relax and focus in hopes of allowing them to perform better.�
Do Calming Supplements Work?There is little research in the equine world to prove or disprove the effects of calming supplements. A few controlled studies regarding L-tryptophan show no calming effect on horses.� Despite the lack of evidence form controlled studies, calming supplements are very popular and many horse trainers and owners report anecdotally that they have seen improvements in their horse's behavior and performance when using them.
Are Calming Supplements legal?Calming supplements should be used during training only.� It is against the spirit of fair competition and the mission of the governing bodies of equine sports to use these supplements during competition.� Valerian and its metabolites are prohibited during competition.� Magnesium sulphate injections are prohibited as well.� FEI and USEF are constantly reviewing herbal and other substances and developing testing techniques to identify those that they feel should be banned.� All horse owners should make sure they are aware of all ingredients in any supplement they use and check with the governing body of their discipline if they have any questions about the legality of any ingredient. �
Here is a summary of the most commonly used substances in calming supplements.� Be sure to follow the dosing recommendations carefully.� More is not better!� In some cases liver damage, neurological abnormalities, or hemolysis can occur with use and/or misuse.
Valerian (valeriana officinalis) is a tall perennial hearb with white to pinkish purple flowers.� The root is used medicinally.� The name valerian comes from the Latin work vlare that means "well being."� Over 150 phytochemicals have been isolated from valerian root.� The ones that shown to have shown to have sedative effects on the central nervous system include:� valerenic acids, valepotriates, GABA, tyrosine, arginine, and glutamine.� The effects of valerian root in humans are somewhat dose dependent with lower does relieving anxiety and nervousness, and higher doses aiding sleep.�
Magnesium is a mineral that is essential for healthy function of almost all body systems.� In the body it is found as an ion within the cells.� Along with calcium, Magnesium helps to control muscle activity and nerve conduction. Calcium stimulates activity, whereas,� magnesium decreases or suppresses activity.� Magnesium has been found to decrease nerve exitation, decrease adrenaline secretion, decrease cortisol release, and to decrease muscle contraction by binding to intracellular ATP and breaking the actin-myosin bounds that cause muscles to contract.� In very high doses magnesium acts as a laxative and can cause muscle weakness.
B vitamins are essential for converting food to fuel.� They also help to stabilize lactate levels that can cause anxiety.� Likely B vitamins largest impact on calming is due to its use a co-factor in the production of serotonin and norepinephrine.
Kava Kava (piper methysticum) is a tall shrub with large heart shaped leaves and roots that look like bundles of woody, hairy branches.� The roots are ground up and used medicinally.� The teas has long been a traditional ceremonial drink in the Pacific Islands.� Kava kava contains kavlactones, specifically kavapyrones that reduce convulsions, promote sleep, and cause muscle relaxation.� The tea produces relaxation and a feeling of well being.� There have been cases of liver damage reported in humans.
Inositol is a carbohydrate (previously thought to be B-vitamin) that functions a signaling molecule.� It can modulate serotonin activity, thus producing a calming effect.
Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus) is a source of magnesium and B vitamins.� Studies both in vitro and in vivo show that use of the leaves� either as a tea or an extract relaxes uterine muscles.� The active compounds have not been definitely identified.
Chamomile (matricaria chamomilla) is an herb with a small white daisy like flower with a yellow center that is a member of the aster family (which also includes ragweed).� The flower contains volatile oils that contina the active ingredients bisabolol, apigenin, iluteolin, and matricin.� Bisabolol has antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties.� The constituents responsible for the sedative properties of chamomile have not been identified.� The sedation is only mild.
Black Cohosh (actaea ra cemosa and cimicifuga racemosa) is a member of the buttercup family, a perennial plan that is native to North America.� The roots are used medicinally.� One active chemical is a saponin called 26-deoxyactein, but its mode of action is not known.� Black Cohosh is most often used for female reproductive issues.� A recently identified compound called fuinolic acid has some estrogenic activity.� There have been a few isolated cases of liver failure in humans taking Black Cohosh.
Passion Fruit (passiflora incarnate) is a perennial creeping vine native to the Southern U.S. and South America.� The whole of the above ground parts of the plant are dried and used to make tea.� The plant contains alkaloids, glyosides, and flavanoids that in combination product the plants sedative effect.� The plant also contain naturally occurring serotonin and maltol, which has sedative effects.�
Ginger (zingiber officinalis) is a herbaceous, perennial plant native to South Eastern Asia that is grown there, as well as extensively in Jamaica.� The rhizome is used medicinally.� Ginger contains oleoresins that are rich in gingerols.� These compounds have a variety of sedative effects.
Calming Supplements are a training aid that can help your horse get through sticky period, but they are no something to be depended upon.
