6 Ways Pets Can Improve Your Health
Have you ever noticed that you feel better when you're around your pet?
It's true. Spending quality time with a dog, cat or other animal can have a positive impact on your mood and your health. Pets can be calming stress-fighters.
Recommended Related to Hypertension
How High Blood Pressure Leads to Erectile Dysfunction
To understand how high blood pressure can lead to erectile dysfunction, you first have to understand how erections work. Getting an erection is really a complicated process.
Read the How High Blood Pressure Leads to Erectile Dysfunction article > >
"We found that pet owners, on average, were better off than non-owners, especially when they have a higher-quality relationship with their pets," says pet researcher Allen R. McConnell, PhD. He's a professor of psychology at Miami University. "What [makes] a meaningful relationship varies from person to person."
For some active people, that includes playing ball or Frisbee in the park. For others who can't get outside, just petting your dog can help you feel connected.
Pets can help you in other ways, too.
1. A Healthier Heart
Your dog may make you less likely to get heart disease. Why? Dog owners walk more and have lower blood pressure than people who don't have dogs.
Pets can also be good for you if you already have heart problems.
Heart attack survivors and people with serious abnormal heart rhythms who own dogs live longer than people with the same heart problems who don't have pets, studies show.
2. Stress Soothers
Petting your cat or dog feels good. It can lower your blood pressure, helps your body release a relaxation hormone, and cuts down on levels of a stress hormone.
It also soothes your pet, says Alan Beck, ScD, director of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at Purdue University.
3. Social Magnets
Pets, especially dogs, can help you connect with other people.
"If I saw you walking down the street, I couldn't comfortably start talking to you if I didn't know you, but I could if you had a dog," Beck says. "It's an acceptable interaction that otherwise wouldn't be possible."
People who use wheelchairs say that other people make eye contact with them more often and ask if they can be of help when they're with their dogs, Beck says.
4. Better Mood, More Meaning
People with pets are generally happier, more trusting, and less lonely than those who don't have pets. They also visit the doctor less often for minor problems.
One reason for that may be that your pet gives you a sense of belonging and meaning, McConnell says. "You feel like you have greater control of your life."

Vintage dress patterns and chicken feathers may seem unlikely
materials from which to craft a designer outfit, but pupils
from Wanaka's Mount Aspiring College have shown anything is
possible in the world of fashion.
A new secondary school section in tonight's annual Passion
for Fashion show at the Lake Wanaka Centre has uncovered
plenty of talent, show producer Carrie Berkey-O'Brien said.
Pictured preparing for the catwalk are (from left) Meg Timu
(12), Mackenzie Ayres (13) and Grace Heather (13), who bought
old dress patterns from the Salvation Army for their gown,
Mrs Berkey-O'Brien, model Katharina Stapper (17), and
designer Jessica Jay (17), who spent hundreds of hours sewing
individual feathers on her one-off creation.
The dresses will be modelled alongside several others from
the college, as well as clothing from Wanaka retailers and
Kingston-based brand Lady Knuckles.
Proceeds from the show help cover the cost of Willowridge
Wanakafest, which runs from today until Monday.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

The Dairy Hub concept goes to the heart of food safety and dairy development, by helping our customers in developing countries to access better quality, locally produced milk.
Total global demand for milk is set to overtake supply within the next decade, fuelled by population growth, rising prosperity and urbanisation in Africa, Asia and Latin America. In the long term, the dairy industry is facing the emergence of a persistent gap between supply and demand – a supply deficit.
Many developing countries have a long tradition of milk production, but only a small portion of locally produced milk is collected, processed and packaged due to lack of infrastructure, cooling and processing capabilities. A lot of the milk is lost in the early parts of the supply chain.
The overall aim of Dairy Hubs is to secure a long-term supply of locally produced quality milk without increasing the cost of collection and, at the same time, to help smallholder farmers move from subsistence farming to running milk production as a profitable business. Investment in a Dairy Hub project is a long-term commitment by the dairy processor.
The concept is based on linking farmers in a specific area – covering a certain number of villages, smallholder farmers and cows – to a dedicated dairy processor. The processor sets up milk collection stations with cooling tanks where farmers deliver milk twice a day. Farmers benefit from the transfer of knowledge and expertise – which leads to healthier animals and increased productivity and profit – as well as access to proper infrastructure and guaranteed twice-daily milk collections all year round. Processors are able to tap into a reliable supply of locally produced, high-quality milk and gain better control over the supply chain. And at the same time, public access to safe and affordable milk is increased.
Nearly 1 billion people live on dairy farms, smallholdings or in landless households keeping one or a few animals. The milk and dairy industry holds huge potential and opportunities to create jobs and increases incomes for all the people along the value chain – farmers, dairy processors, distributors, shopkeepers and other stakeholders.
Equally importantly, milk has the potential to improve nutrition for hundreds of millions of people in developing countries. It is one of the most complete foods: an important source of dietary energy, protein and fat, as well as around 20 essential vitamins and minerals.
Drawing on our world-leading knowledge of food processing, packaging and distribution, combined with the products and services offered by our sister company DeLaval that cover every step in the milk production process, we have the knowledge and expertise to support development of the entire dairy value chain – from cow to consumer. Today there are successful Dairy Hubs in Bangladesh and Nicaragua, and new projects are under way in a number of other developing countries.
Do you want more information about Dairy Hubs?

I have a wp multisite network running. the existing site (the one initially created before creating the network) is on the domain root by default ('/') . I can also succesfully create another.
Wat i want is to have the initial site on the '/en/'-subdir and other sites for other languages (i.e. '/nl/').
(the '/en/' being an alias for '/' would also suffice.)
However when i change the wp-config setting PATH_CURRENT_SITE to '/en/' (before or after network setup) i get a db connection error when loading the page.
I have tried reinstalling about 5 times now and i have no idea, how this is supposed to be set up?
Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation?

Cisbio Bioassays and the Functional Genomics Institute (IGF) of Montpellier, France, have launched the GluSense R&D program. The project, financed by a grant of $1.2 million (€900,000) from France's National Research Agency (ANR), will focus on the development of drug-discovery research tools for CNS diseases.
The GluSense project involves sensors that enable real-time detection of responses from glutamate receptors, part of a family of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) targets that are related to CNS disorders such as Parkinson disease and depression. The ANR funds will be used to apply the technology to all receptors in this GPCR family and create tools for identifying and characterizing drug candidates that act on them.
The technology was developed and patented by Cisbio Bioassays in collaboration with Jean-Philippe Pin, Ph.D., director of IGF's molecular pharmacology department, and his team. It uses Cisbio Bioassays' Tag-lite® platform.
"The GluSense technology allows researchers to better understand the mechanism of action of molecules that act on this receptor class as well as avoid difficulties when implementing tests used to identify these receptors' allosteric regulators," Dr. Pin remarks. "Tag-lite has demonstrated that its multiple applications add tremendous scientific value to the research and characterization of GPCR interactions on the cell surface."
Gerard Mathis, Ph.D., vp R&D at Cisbio Bioassays, adds, "Cisbio Bioassays has been collaborating with IGF on GPCR research for over a decade. In 2006, the ANR's support enabled us to apply our proprietary technologies towards the development of new tools for GPCR dimerization on the surface of living cells."
In addition to the GluSense project, Cisbio Bioassays and IGF have created a joint laboratory at IGF to investigate technologies that facilitate the study of interactions between biomolecules on the surface of living cells. These technologies will be applied to research projects focused on GPCRs and, following a technology transfer from the laboratory to Cisbio Bioassays, developed into products for use by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

ENID, Okla. (AP) - Local courts soon may have a new way for abused children to testify in court when a video system developed by the Garfield County Child Advocacy Council is completed.
The new system is expected to be completed by fall, said Carole Wade, executive director of Garfield County Child Advocacy Council.
Currently, children who have been abused are interviewed in the child advocacy group's forensic interview room by specially trained law enforcement and child protective personnel.
Wade says children can testify in the forensics room, where they feel more comfortable, rather than in a courtroom so they do not have the accused abuser staring at them.
With the new system, a child's testimony can be seen in a courtroom at the courthouse.

In kindergarten I do a lot silly things to help them remember things...how to spell sight words...counting by 5s...etc. I have them say/sing/spell/count in funny voices so the repetition doesn't seem so boring. They could spin to see what voice to use that day: opera singer, whisper, scary monster, etc.ReplyDelete
We have our wind unit coming up so I'll definitely be using this. Thanks for sharing! :)
OooH!! I LIKE!!! A couple ideas popped into my head:ReplyDelete
1) Tape a word family ending on the center and write initial sounds or digraphs on the spinner... spin.. read.. and write. Could be an awesome Word Work station
2) Write a number on each panel... use for SO many things for example counting on. Let's say they land on 42 then they have to count until they get to the next decade.
3) Sight Words: spin and graph activity
4) I do Daily5 and Cafe so you could put the beanie baby reading strategies on a card. So if a student in your reading group gets stuck on a card, let them spin and see if the strategy they land on works!
Oh gosh I could keep going and going... looks like I'm going to the Dollar Tree! Thanks for the idea!
Woah! Hello typos! Sorry about that. I meant to say "beanie baby reading strategies on a panel.." and then "gets stuck on a word"ReplyDelete
i just saw these the other day -- thanks for the idea.ReplyDelete
I love this idea!!! I'm always inspired by Dollar Tree goodies....wait until you see the little bunnies I bought for a math center...too cute!!! I'll post soon:)ReplyDelete

@Kristen - Great idea! I was thinking of something along this line too. I was trying to think of six things to do while doing our read aloud for our weekly story. For example, 1. Choral reading 2. Repeat after me reading 3. Popcorn reading, ...ReplyDelete
@Shannon - LOVE all these ideas. I'm going to have to go buy some more now ;)
You guys are all so smart. What great ideas! I'm going to have to take a road trip!ReplyDelete

Umm....amazing idea! WOW! I am so exited! Going to get some :)ReplyDelete
Please visit my new blog @
i used clear labels and printed out spelling words. we we're doing words that began with /ch/, so i put /ch/ in middle of flower and the end of the words on petals. they would spin the flower, combine the /ch/ plus word ending and write it on their paper, titled Flower Power! the labelsReplyDelete

Awesome ideas!!ReplyDelete
Thoughts of a Third Grade Teacher
Found a double pinwheel in the summer clearance section. Wouldn't have bought it except I remembered seeing your post. It should work great for add/sub!!! Thanks for the idea!ReplyDelete
OK, so there are SIX petals and SIX pillars of character - perfect! So I see myself writing a pillar on each of the petals to match the colors - yellow for respect, orange for fairness, etc. (Citizenship purple will have to be one of the shades of blue) and let kids stop the wheel as it spins and give an example of that character trait in action. Ooooo, what a fun thing that'd be during transition time.ReplyDelete
Just saw your post on pinwheels! I just posted about pinwheels on Sunday. I used them with chunks and beginning sounds. I love your idea too and am following you!ReplyDelete

Will Hoskins grabbed the second after the break before Barnes took centre stage with two neat finishes either side of a penalty.
New signing Wayne Bridge took part in the warm-up but did not feature in the match with Marcos Painter starting at left-back.
Charlton began preparing for life in the Championship with a comfortable 4-0 friendly win over Welling United.

The 2016 Shelby County Relay for Life is set for Friday and organizers say they hope the rain will hold off.
"If it's raining really bad, we'll be in Collins gym, but we're going to have a beautiful day," said co-chair Heidi Willhoite.
The event beings at 7 p.m. Friday night and lasts through 7 a.m. Saturday morning at Collins High School.
Eighteen teams from businesses, clubs, families, friends, hospitals, churches, schools and service organizations will participate, with team members taking turns walking on the track.
If you're looking for a great way to spend Saturday night that includes delicious food, mellow music and good fellowship – all while helping out a major charitable organization at the same time – look no further than the annual Operation Care fundraiser.
The 4th annual Mercy Omega Gala, at Claudia Sanders Dinner House at 5 p.m., will feature a live auction this year, said Jennifer Decker, executive director of Operation Care.
Police have arrested three Taylorsville residents, one of them an employee at the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, and charged them with stealing up to $20,000 worth of high-priced purses over a period of several weeks.
Simpsonville Police Chief Chip Minnis called the group crime a substantial theft ring.
"An employee from the mall had been stealing purses from one of the storage units. The store that was stolen from was Kate Spade," he said.
The Shelby County Board of Education Thursday voted in favor of a recommendation to support teams advancing to national competitions through matching funds.
During the preceding meeting, board member Joanna Freels suggested to the board supplementing the necessary funds for the five Odyssey of the Mind teams headed to the World's Finals later this month.
After brief discussion, the board suggested establishing a fund to aid all organizations that qualify for national competitions.
Rev. Dave Hamlin will initiate this week's city council meeting when they convene Thursday at 6:30 at city hall, 315 Washington Street with a presentation regarding a proposed change to the zoning regulations in the ag/commercial district. Mayor Tom Hardesty said the requested change is in regards to a desire to help those in need.
When Lorena Stivers was born in 1919, the large two-story Colonial brick mansion she would come to call home was already nearly a century old.
Located just north of Shelbyville on Eminence Pike, the historic Todd home was built in 1836 by Isaac Shelby, Kentucky's first governor, for his youngest daughter Letitia upon her marriage to Charles Stewart Todd.
The 2016 May Primary Election played out well for familiar faces.
Six Shelbyville City Council members were triumphant over two newcomers, and Shelby County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger won in a landslide for a state house seat.
In the Shelbyville City Council race of 8 Republicans, 6 – incumbents Bobby Andriot, Frank Page, and Jon Swindler along with Troy Ethington, Scott Harper, Chris Spaulding – were the top vote getters, with Brad Brown and Rocky Pinciotti failing to advance to the November election.
Simpsonville Police say, along with Taylorsville Police, have arrested three people so far in a theft ring at the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, one of them an employee at the mall, and that they have recovered thousands of dollars in stolen purses, with a total estimated theft of $15,000.
More arrests could be forthcoming, they say. All those arrested are from Taylorsville.
Shelbyville Police and Kentucky State Police assisted in the investigation.
Shelby Prevention, a non-profit organization focused on substance abuse and violence prevention, has a new person at the helm.
Saylor Aylmer replaced Kelly McNew in early March after the latter left to take a position with Shelby County Public Schools as a family resource coordinator.
Aylmer, a 2003 graduate of Shelby County High School, said he feels that his background in social services, in the school system and in corrections, gives him a good base to work from to advance the mission of Shelby Prevention, along with his deep roots in the county.
With the excitement of a presidential election looming on the horizon, Shelby County's Primary on Tuesday will no doubt draw its share of attention, also, with a crowded Shelbyville City Council Republican field of eight candidates, not to mention a State House Representative seat on the line, said election officials.
"Voter turnout, it might be twenty or twenty five percent, I would think, and probably a little more in the city," said Shelby County Clerk Sue Carole Perry.

Skip to comments.White Man Beaten By Mob In Detroit After Hitting Boy With Truck: Was It A Hate Crime?
Posted on 04/04/2014 6:30:00 AM PDT by envisio
DETROIT (WWJ) - As a 54-year-old Roseville man clings to life in the hospital following a brutal mob beating on Detroits east side, many are starting to wonder if the whole thing was racially motivated. As first reported by WWJ Newsradio 950, an 11-year-old boy suffered a broken leg on Wednesday when he was hit by a pickup truck after walking into the street near Morang and Balfour. The driver, Steven Utash, immediately got out of his truck after hitting the boy and was viciously attacked by 10 to 12 men. The beating was so brutal, Utash was rendered unconscious.
Our preliminary investigation shows the child stepped in front of his vehicle, Woody said. He did exactly the right thing. He stopped his vehicle, he got out and he tried to render aid to a small child. He did exactly what he was supposed to do
It was a small child and it was an accident; is what it was. State Rep. Alberta Tinsley Talabi (D-Detroit), told WWJ Legal Analyst Charlie Langton the incident appears to have racial overtones, adding, its wrong. Joseph Utash said although it was tough to stomach, he watched video of the incident. As my dads truck was coming down the street, the kid stepped right in front of my dads truck. My dad had absolutely not one chance in the world to try to swerve out-of-the-way or stop, he said. He got out of the car to check on the kid and before he even got up to the kid, he got assaulted by 11, 12 people. They jumped all over him and beat him up.
(Excerpt) Read more at detroit.cbslocal.com ...
No. This would have turned out exactly the same way if the driver were black.
If Zimmerman had just accepted his beat down, St. Trayvon may still be alive today (barring further risky violent episodes).
Did See BS only happen to know the race of the truck driver...and not the mob or the boy? Since they entered race into their headline?
I am sure our dear leader will address the nation alongside Al and Jesse for this travesty of racial intolerance.
"This would have turned out exactly the same way if the driver were black."
Sorry, don't buy it.
The driver was beaten down because he was White; a Black would have encountered hostility, perhaps, but not a beat-down, IMO.
"White Man Beaten By Mob In Detroit After Hitting Boy With Truck: Was It A Hate Crime?"
First word of question negates it being so.
CBS? No, not exactly, it's a CBS affiliate station.
When I first saw the attribution, I nearly went into cardiac arrest. CBS actually reporting a racial-angle story?
The KKK has flooded the comments section there.
Ok, without having watched the video, I think the child was coached to step out in front of him based on who he "was" or "represented" to in order to set up the whole incident.
You know better than that.
"""Joseph Utash said he believes his father was intentionally targeted or even worse, that skin color might have played a role. Based on witness accounts, the attackers were African American.""""
I wonder what part of Africa they were born in and when did they migrate to the US?
Or are they 5th generation welfare parasites... beating and nearly killing the person that pays taxes and supports them?
"The driver was beaten down because he was White; a Black would have encountered hostility, perhaps, but not a beat-down, IMO."
You're opinion happens to be right.
A group of men who'd beat someone else to death but couldn't be bothered to keep him out of the road.
Probably doesn't remember Reginald Denny too well.
The elephant in the room which the willingly blind Dems/Libs refuse to see...the fact that the Blacks are not only the most violent group in America, but also by an order of magnitude, the most racist.
Been in Hispanic cities...get along fine.
Been in Oriental cities...get along fine.
Been in Black cities/area...got out as soon as could.
Sensed much hostility due to the color of my skin.
Not all Blacks...but far too many are seriously racist.
Encouraged since 2008 by the Racist in Chief.
Bull butter.
Just ask Holder. He'll tell you it's impossible for a black man to be racist
You keep believing that.
Detroit - Where the Weak are Killed and Eaten.
I believe it because its the truth. Whether you have the courage to face that truth isn't up to me.
Oddly enough, I'm not so sure. Post-accident driver beatdowns are almost unto themselves as far as crimes go. They usually require two elements: a sympathetic victim, and a driver perceived as driving recklessly.
But there are other, more subtle factors involved.
It doesn't quite conform to the rules of vigilantism, such as a crowd reaction to a "hue and cry" of "stop thief!", but it is close.
Importantly, the crowd must have an interventionist attitude, instead of either an "onlooker" or "not my problem" attitude; and this is less common. However, in this case, there might be a reason.
The chief of police in Detroit has told the public to arm themselves and enforce the law themselves. And this may have caused a sea change in public attitudes of late. While this beatdown was wrong, it may have been the first demonstration of a new public confidence in improving their own lives by fighting crime, or what they believe is crime.
It will be interesting to see what comes of this.
> Ok, without having watched the video, I think the child was coached to step out in front of him based on who he was or represented to in order to set up the whole incident.
That thought crossed my mind. Especially when it was mentioned that the event was videotaped.
Seriously though, I would not be shocked to discover that the boy stepped out and got hit on purpose. I used to flip houses in the part of town that was 95% black. It was an almost daily occurrence that a 13-40 year-old male would step in front of my truck on the thoroughfare. It was a power play to make me stop. You could lay on the horn and they would never even look up. The only time they ever looked up was when they ID'd the driver before stepping out.
Detroit doesn't need any help, but Obama has been stoking racial tensions throughout his whole term and has made it clear that the scales of justice are tilted toward those who act out against the "other." Maybe they will burn down a neighborhood to celebrate.
Well...it seems you just don't know better. I do. Your truth is your own misguided opinion.
You just go ahead and revel in your victimhood. Frankly people like you are no different than the jackals who carried out the attack.
precisely. all too convenient to have that many people respond so quickly before he could even reach the child and it be videotaped?...
Seriously? Maybe people who wonder if water is wet, or if ice is cold.
""""It will be interesting to see what comes of this.""""
I know what will come of this..... nothing.
The media will be silent so no public outrage. If the offenders are caught... so what? Its just another arrest to their rap sheet and it will not disrupt their lives the slightest.
When you can't win an argument, resort to epithets, the DU way. I guess to you this is just 'settled science' now - just like the AGW argument, huh?
Actually it is not uncommon for this to happen to people regardless of race in that community.
Wrong. This is typical and has been typical in the given situation for most of my 50 year life. If you don't recognize the "step into your path" power play, then you've never been a white person driving through the 'hood.
This is obviously referring to the driver hitting the boy. No way could it be the boy's fault for stepping into the street without watching....
"Mostly teenagers"
"They also stole his wallet."
Sorry, pal. But I don't think so. Don't forget that Bathhouse Barry is in our White House and Holder's our AG. They are totally in control, and it's a war against "whitey," because like the AG office told us a few years ago, "We're in control now."
The press needs to stop dithering around as if each case of black ultra-violence can only be acknowledged if it meets the criteria of progressives.
Call it what it is - endemic black racial violence against white victims.
I'm sorry, but America is involved in some kind of undeclared, one-sided guerrilla war, and nothing will change until the victims fight back, and the powers that be are forced to admit the truth about what's going on.
Did you forget the /sarcasm tag?
The article references a video of the incident. If there is a link, I missed it. It would help the debate to see the actual video both of the accident and then the mob attempted murder.
Blacks kill each other at an extremely high rate and now I'm supposed to forget that and declare that this wouldn't have happened with a black driver.
I will say that this would have been unlikely in a white neighborhood regardless of the race of the driver.
"I used to flip houses in the part of town that was 95% black."
I watched Rehab Addict last night, the program with "Nicole" (the blond that wears the low cut string-tops and shorts while rehabbing old homes). She's from Detroit, and had returned there to rehab a burned house she'd picked up for nothing. It was on Campbell Street. Maybe you're familiar with that area
Nicole did a great job on the house. She even bought two vacant lots across the street to plant a community garden...had lots of the local school kids out helping with the planting.
I made the comment to my wife...nice, classic house...great rehab...BUT...I wonder if Nicole will ever be able to sell it? I'm thinking she's stuck with it now.
Way back then, the southerners should have picked their own cotton. Slavery has resulted in unmitigated disasters, one after another after another. And more to come, I guarantee it: when the EBTs stop.
The driver's biggest mistake was driving any where near Detroit. The real wonder is whether or not the unwashed mass of melanin deficient folk will ever pull its collective head out of the sand.
Also...the nurse that stepped into the fray to stop the beatdown...brave lady. She deserves an award.
Bravo Sierra!
That was a black, racist "honky beat-down" hate crime. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Blacks have declared war on whites in the US. Thanks to the presstitutes, many folks don't recognize it yet.

Yes, this would not have turned out the same way if the driver was black.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
In this article
Paragonimiasis Diagnosis continued...
Most often, a person with symptoms has multiple tests before a doctor makes the diagnosis of paragonimiasis. Exams and tests used to make a diagnosis include:
Patient History. Your doctor will get clues about possible paragonimiasis by looking at the pattern in which your symptoms appeared. Your doctor will ask about your past eating of undercooked crab or crayfish.
Physical examination. Abnormal breath sounds or belly tenderness observed with a doctor's examination of the chest or belly can suggest a problem and direct further testing.
Blood tests. A high number of a specific type of white blood cells can suggest parasitic infection. Antibodies against flukes may be present in the blood.
Sputum microscopy. Fluke eggs can be detected during examination of coughed-up sputum under a microscope.
Chest X-ray. Nodules (spots) in the lungs, hollowed-out areas (cysts or cavities), or fluid around the lungs (pleural effusions) may be present.
CT scan. High-resolution images of the lungs may show more detailed information than a chest X-ray. Also, CT of the head or abdomen may be abnormal if paragonimiasis involves the brain or liver.
MRI. Very high-definition images of the brain can identify cysts or brain swelling caused by paragonimiasis.
Bronchoscopy . A doctor can put an endoscope (flexible tube with a camera on its tip) through the nose or mouth into the lungs. Flukes or their eggs are collected from lung fluid samples. The flukes or eggs may be seen under a microscope.
Thoracentesis. A doctor puts a needle through the chest wall to sample fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion).
Stool studies. Fluke eggs may be seen in stool samples when examined under a microscope.
A definite diagnosis of paragonimiasis is made when fluke eggs are detected in an infected person's sputum or stool. But the flukes may not lay eggs until two months after you are infected. That makes early diagnosis difficult.
Paragonimiasis Treatment
In most people, paragonimiasis can be cured with oral anti-parasite medications. The recommended treatment is praziquantel (Biltricide). It is taken three times daily for two days.
In the rare cases of paragonimiasis with brain involvement, other treatments may be necessary, such as anti-seizure medications or surgery to reduce brain swelling.

Two of the tags that I have set to "interesting" on stackoverflow are "perl" and "apache". I have a feeling that it won't be long until I remove the apache tag from that list because 98% of questions with that tag relate to url-rewriting with mod_rewrite. I won't do that with perl anytime soon, but that tag (sometimes) has a similar problem with questions about regular expressions.
These questions are dupes, but slight variations on the same topic. In fact with the apache example, it has become next to impossible to find a dupe because the stream of questions has become so endless.
What would be the best way to deal with questions like these?

From Our Editors
Since 2008, the deft employees at Perfect Brow Bars have been manicuring arches with ancient Asian threading techniques. Stationed in malls throughout the central U.S., they welcome guests to stores and kiosks where string and manual finesse, rather than wax or tweezers, uproot unwanted facial hair. The method twists thread along the strands to methodically pull them from follicles with minimal discomfort. This approach reduces the risk of redness and ingrown hairs while forcing former unibrows to become wistful pen pals. Staff members can clear brows, sideburns, chins, and other facial zones of bothersome fuzz for a neatly groomed look.

why do WP sites lose formatting...
I can have a site open, working on it
.... leave it for a wee bit and come
back ... click on a page or link and
the result is a screen with all of the
details down the left hand side ....
I have to close the site and clear
cache/cookies to get the formatting
why does this happen?
It's not just on my sites... any WP
I don't know if FB is built on WP but
it also loses formatting at times.
thanks for your help...

FWIW, here is a summary of the B of A report. I'm still on the sidelines waiting for some clarity.
- Rummy
4Q10 strong but foot dragging by customers impact 1Q11
Tessera reported 4Q revenue and operating income ahead of our estimates on
stronger than expected microelectronics revenue. 1Q11 guidance, however, was
well below our forecast, impacted by five current and former licensees who either
are not paying or have not renewed their license agreements. We estimate the
impact will be in the $7-8M range in 1Q but with limited visibility into when
customers might re-sign, we reduce our full year 2011 microelectronics revenue.
Restructuring on the Imaging and Optics side of the business will lower expenses
but without a significant product or license catalyst on the horizon, we remain on
the sidelines. We lower our PO to $22 from $23 and maintain our Neutral rating.
Focus might help optics but not material near term
Tessera announced a restructuring to its Imaging and Optics group including a
15% headcount reduction which should drive $10M in annual opex savings. The
division will now focus on only the top ideas like extended depth of field (EDOF),
Zoom and MEMS auto focus. EDOF which has been one of the better performing
I&O royalty streams is still at a low single digit revenue run rate per quarter, in our
estimation. Tessera might benefit by focusing on fewer, higher potential ideas but
we view Imaging and Optics growth as a longer term story
Still lacking a catalyst, adjusting estimates and PO
We expect Tessera to trade at a discount to the 15-16x CY2011E that pure
semiconductor comps trade for due to the lumpy nature of the DRAM contracts
and volatility associated with the legal-related outcomes. We apply an 11x
multiple (30% haircut) on CY11E operating EPS of $1.15 and adding back cash to
give us a $22 price objective, down from $23.
I don't have as many shares as you, but I'm also short some puts (I like that for stocks that are mostly waiting around for good news)
I am sitting on 3,000 shares myself because I believe in the company and with as much cash as they have and the substantiation of their patents they will continue to grow.
Damned if I know of other comparable cases. Tessera has used a couple of fundamental patents as the basis of its business for a decade now. They look solid, but pretty much all of their key provisions have been opened for re-examination (the legal-techie language is more inflammatory than that: a claim that is being re-examined is said to be rejected).
Again, You can't fairly say the company could triple up on legal settlements without saying that it could also get crushed.
It isn't that I know much about Tessera, but I do keep a bunch of it in mind whatever is going on.
You also stated, "In the extremely unlikely event that they lose across the board on the pending patent re-examinations, they will be sued for return of royalties on improperly issued patents. That in addition to the collection suits and arbitration being ended. Not survivable."
Please give examples of other companies that are in the same situation. I have been in other IP companies that are involved in litigation on a regular basis. I am not familiar with your speculated scenario.
Any analysis of TSRA that completely ignores pending legal matters is trash. You can say stuff about lumpy and unpredictable, but here's a company with an enterprise value around $800MM and with matters under adjudication that could bankrupt it or bring in quick payments as high as $2.5 billion. It's not just ONE elephant in the room.
bankrupt them ? ... sorry pal ... but that is bull !!!
They are not is that kind of situation, period ... you forget about how much money they have in the bank and you forget to mention that they are on the winning side of the QCOM + other infringers lawsuit !
Jacosa, I agree that it is all about the litigation.

Dairy Science
The dairy science curriculum provides training for a variety of career opportunities in agriculture, particularly those involved with dairy cattle or associated industries. Although many graduates own or manage dairy operations, the majority find employment in such career areas as agribusiness management, biotechnology, dairy foods manufacturing, marketing, publicity and promotion, or research. Pre-veterinary medicine requirements may be completed in the dairy science curriculum.
Dairy science majors have the opportunity to study at the Iowa State University Dairy Farm. This 887 acre facility opened in 2007 and is home to 450 dairy cows.
