(Credit: News 12 New Jersey) Like Tweet Share Pin Email 0 Comments Updated April 22, 2014 7:28 PM UNION BEACH - Sandy-battered communities will be receiving an additional $3.6 million from Washington as an extension of the National Emergency Grant program. Many still trying to rebuild and make ends meet hope the money will get more unemployed people working again. Union Beach Public Works Director John Haines says much work still needs to be done to restore borough buildings flooded a year and a half ago by Sandy. "We didn't know where we were gonna turn," he says. "The borough is not really in a financial position to hire additional employees to help with this." Through the National Emergency Grant program, Union Beach has been able to hire 25 unemployed people for recovery help. Gary Simon, of Bradley Beach, is among the handful of these temporary employees still working in the borough. He was unemployed for more than five years. "I am glad to be here because it's keeping me afloat," he says. Two IT experts were also hired to replace the computer system destroyed by Sandy and are trying to restore data lost during the storm. Dwindling grant money meant days were numbered for these workers. An extension of the program that's bringing additional funds to New Jersey will help towns hire more workers. The workers will be screened through Monmouth County Workforce Development. "It really opens up for the municipality to get this work done that they've been working on but they needed more funds to make it happen," says Eileen Higgins, of Monmouth County Workforce Development. So far, their work has helped move public works employees out of a trailer and back into offices.

Endeavor House became part of the Pinnacle Treatment Centers family in 2011. Pinnacle Treatment Centers were founded in 2006 with the acquisition of four treatment centers. Additionally, Endeavor House is CARF-accredited and their programs range in length anywhere from a week to a few months depending on each client's needs; however, Endeavor House does not have an aftercare program.
The Good
- Multiple treatment options
- Medically assisted detox
- Whole-person treatment programs
Multiple Treatment Options
Endeavor House offers a wide variety of treatment options each of which include a clinical evaluation, individualized treatment plan, individual, group and family counseling, medical and psychological services, a nutritionist evaluation and dietary planning, educational classes on substance use disorders, twelve-step meetings, life skills development training, recreational therapy, and more:
- Inpatient rehabilitation
- Intensive outpatient program
- Partial hospitalization
- Residential treatment program
- Routine outpatient counseling
- Transitional living program
Medically Assisted Detox
After an initial evaluation, Endeavor House has a medically assisted detoxification program for those who need it. This program includes around the clock supervision by a medically trained staff and the use of comfort medications to minimize the discomfort and reduce the symptoms associated with the withdrawal process.
Whole-Person Treatment Programs
Endeavor House uses programs that treat the whole person and not just the addiction. They offer extensive encouragement so each client can help maintain control, family counseling and sessions, education for improving problem solving and healthy living, and more. They also offer supportive therapy groups for safe sharing. And this is in addition to one-on-one counseling.
The Bad
- Minimal payment options
- Treatment costs not disclosed
- No aftercare or alumni programs
Minimal Payment Options
Endeavor House does accept some insurance, but not Medicare or Medicaid. Additionally, they don't appear to offer any type of financial assistance programs other than to say that they do accept private pay options for those who are uninsured or underinsured. Although, they do state that they will develop a financial plan that works for you. So it would be worth your time to contact them to see exactly what their financial plan entails.
Treatment Costs Not Disclosed
Unfortunately, Endeavor House does not publicly disclose their treatment costs. And while that's not unusual, especially when a program involves customized care options, it would be more beneficial to potential clients if they at least offered some sample pricing, etc. This would help people make a more educated decision about whether or not any of their treatment programs are even an option for them without them having to take the time to make contact.
No Aftercare or Alumni Programs
Most rehabilitation programs offer some type of aftercare programs to help ensure greater success of their clients. In most cases, people who have completed a rehabilitation program will continue to need support to help them through any hurdles they might encounter. Additionally, an alumni program is just another avenue for like-minded people to get together and support each other. Therefore, we feel that Endeavor House should consider adding one or both of these features to their current program.
The Bottom Line
Endeavor House and the Pinnacle Treatment Centers family appear to be effective, reputable programs. They offer a wide variety of treatment options, a medically assisted detoxification program and they focus on helping the whole person versus just the addiction alone. However, there are a few areas we feel they could use a little improvement. We would like to see them work on adding a financial assistance program, give some examples of their pricing and to add aftercare and an alumni program as part of their offerings.
More Information
Accepted Insurance Providers
Endeavor House accepts both PPO and HMO insurance plans from a wide variety of providers, which are as follows:

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.34 / 5.00 6,392 ViewsI made this movie without any script over the course of about a week. It originally was just made for some practice animating with my Wacom tablet, and I wasn't sure if it would turn out too well. You might notice how my style changes throughout the movie.
Watch, vote, and review.
Enjoy the movie!
Not bad
This wasn't too bad of a mario parody,the animation wasn't great but good enough to give me some laughs with the solid voice acting that i found funny especially when Mario & Luigi found the pot,overall this wasn't a spectacular flash but i got a few laughs out of it.
part of me wants very much to like this. but i dont think i do. i love mario, and i love getting high, but i think it could have been better. there is so much existing imagery in the mario world. you really cant fake it, or it comes out like this...

What is the Value of a Brand Advocate?
I've found these people difficult to find, but once they are found they are even more difficult to engage. You'd think in this world of email and Facebook I could capture them in a database and message to them. The problem is that they don't like that. According to a study by Deloitte, 53 percent of advocates (vs 33 percent for consumers) want to be recognized as an individual with individual needs. The second challenge is that brand advocates tend to believe they are busier than the average consumer, so convenience in use and access is important. The good news is that advocates tend to be more social and outgoing and are much more likely to share. Deloitte's research also found that brand advocates are more likely to be perfectionists, and more likely to be the first to buy new products.
So this is where the campaign to build 15,000 advocates for your successful software start-up fails. Most marketing and PR departments simply don't have the resources to interact with the large influx of advocates over a long term. You can find them with email surveys, but then what do you say back to them? Sure, you can send them a tin of mints (I just got some from one of my favorite brands), but what you really need is to help direct their efforts in a positive direction that they see as valuable. Just like a bunch of volunteers who show up with hammers to a Habitat for Humanity house building project, it is critical that you give each person a job that they see as meaningful so they will want to come back. Similarly, the energy emanating from your brand advocates needs to be focused like a laser to help them share that excitement with others. In the restaurant example, you can ask each of those advocates to share their honest reviews on Yelp. Or you could ask them to share your restaurant's Facebook Fan page with their friends.
There are lots of simple ways to build that word-of-mouth, but I still see most of these efforts fail for some simple reasons. First, many advocates will find it too time consuming to go home, find your Yelp site and then write a meaningful review. You have to harness the enthusiasm when they are actually in a position to write something. Today that is likely to be in front of their computer. Second, they need a variety of places to advocate. Once they have posted on Yelp, they can't post there again. You have to continue to present them with fresh opportunities to talk about you. Third, managing this stuff in spreadsheets and direct email systems simply won't work. You never learn more about what the advocate does and it is impossible to measure. This all comes down to something I say often about advocacy building - It simply does not scale.
"It is what companies do with fans that create value, not merely that a brand has fans," says Forrester's Augie Ray in a blog post.
Zuberance has build a platform that helps companies identify advocates, direct them to places where they can contribute and then track the results. They are currently working with large consumer and tech brands on campaigns that would crash my spreadsheet and email methods of the past. These types of CRM systems for advocates are exactly what is needed to overcome the scale issue. Rob Fuggetta, Zuberance CEO, tells a story about how they recently responded to a crisis with a brand that was receiving lots of bad online reviews. Using unpaid advocates, they were able to settle down the issue by activating the advocates to balancing out the negative comments.
With the right systems to focus the efforts of your brand's advocates' enthusiasm you can unlock their 5X value and create a cost-effective word-0f-mouth campaign.

SaskatchewanThe BixCON Series of gaming events: A combination of Great Friends, Great Food, & Great Drink! -
It is important to establish credibility in the first entry of any blog. I have just the beer to set the tone. So much for foreplay by talking about lesser beers, let's go straight to:
Beer: Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale
Style: Brown Ale
Alcohol: 5.6%
Brewery: Rogue Ales
Website: http://www.rogue.com/
Rate Beer Says:http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/rogue-voodoo-doughnut-bacon-map...
Rating (0-5):
I quite enjoy this beer. I tend to lean heavily to ales instead of lagers anyway. This beer has an incredible fusion of smoke, bacon, and maple. All three flavours are prevalent without being over the top. To me, this is not just a novelty beer, but a beverage that will always have a place in my heart and beer fridge.
Game Pairing: The Castles of Burgundy
As you ferret out the elegant nuances of Castles of Burgundy you can experience the various flavours in this exquisite ale. Both should be savoured.
Standard Disclaimer: I am not a beer judge, nor do I have a palate that is refined enough to tell you which type of hops were used in the making of a beer. I know very little about zymology. I am an average guy that likes to play boardgames and likes to drink beer. All you will get here is my opinion on what I like. That is all.

I'd much rather have Jermaine because of contract and cap space next year. Ignoring that, I'd take Chuck. Healthy, relatively young, no character concerns.

Lakers, easily. They have a top 5 pick this year (probably), cap space this summer and next summer, there's just a lot more that you can do.
In NY, it's all about convincing Melo to stay and then waiting another year in hopes that you can sign a superstar in 2015. There's also less pressure in LA, I think. It's obvious the Kobe/Pau era is at an end. They'll talk big but I doubt it's a "build a contender by 2015 or you are fired" type of proposition. If you keep that team semi-competitive while Kobe pads his career points, your job should be safe. So you can actually think long term and be a little patient. Draft and develop the 2014 rookie. Sign someone younger, like Lance Stephenson. Re-sign Pau to a smaller deal. Add some vets. Win 40 games. Then try to target Marc Gasol or Love next year. |

Scottie Pippen because he actually played in the toughest basketball era between the 80's and 90's were there was constant tough defense + hand checking wasn't a foul back then, no flopping bullshit (which James does a ton of) and during that time it was much harder to score because of no defensive 3 second in the key rule. When you attacked the net back in the day there would always be a big 7 footer waiting to hit you in the key, unlike the pussy NBA game today.

Douglas Allanbrook
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (July 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Douglas Allanbrook (April 1, 1921 – January 29, 2003) was an American composer, concert pianist and harpsichordist. He was associated with a group of mid-twentieth century Boston composers who were students of Nadia Boulanger.
Early life[edit]
This section does not cite any sources. (October 2006) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Allanbrook was born on April 1, 1921 and raised in Melrose, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. He began taking piano lessons at the age of eight. Within two years he was playing Bach, Haydn, and Czerny. By thirteen, he started composing; his first serious piece was entitled On the Death of a Beautiful White Cat. While in high school, he was composing sonatas for violin and piano and writing sketches for a Symphony in G minor.
After high school, Allanbrook studied at Boston University for one year. In 1939 he was hired as a music teacher at the Mary Wheeler finishing school in Providence, where Gloria Vanderbilt was among his piano students. In 1941, the Rhode Island Symphony played his student orchestral work "Music for a Tragedy."
Durning the same year, Nadia Boulanger came to Providence to accept an honorary degree from Brown University. She heard some of Allanbrook's music and immediately took him under her wing. He began commuting regularly to Cambridge to study with her and to become part of her coterie of Boston composers, which included Harold Shapero, Irving Fine, Paul Desmarais, and Daniel Pinkham.
In the fall of 1942, the Army drafted Allanbrook. Serving as an infantryman for three years, he fought his way up the Italian peninsula, in the process earning a Bronze Star and starting his lifelong love affair with Italy. His time in Italy is recounted in his 1995 book, See Naples: A Memoir.
When the war ended, he returned to Boston to enter Harvard University on the G.I. Bill. His major professor was composer Walter Piston, with whom he studied harmony, counterpoint, and orchestration. Among his fellow students were Peter Davison, who was to become a poet and publisher, and John Clinton Hunt, also to become a writer. Allanbrook composed prolifically, including his first three-movement piano sonata, and a cantata to T.S. Eliot's poem Ash Wednesday. He completed his B.A. degree in May 1948. He was awarded a Paine Traveling Fellowship from Harvard, which he used to spend the next two years (1948–1950) in Paris honing his composing and performing skills, once again studying under Nadia Boulanger. There he formed close musical friendships with composers Ned Rorem, Noël Lee, Leo Preger and Georges Auric.
In the summer 1950 on a Fulbright scholarship, he returned to Italy to study harpsichord under Ruggero Gerlin, longtime associate of Wanda Landowska, at the Naples Conservatory. Under Gerlin's tutelage, he learned to perform the partitas and the two books of the Well-Tempered Clavier of J. S. Bach, the [[List of compositions by François Couperin|ordres]] of François Couperin, and various sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti. Allanbrook spent two extraordinarily creative years in Italy as composer and performer. His main work from this period is his first opera, Ethan Frome, a setting of Edith Wharton's novel of the same name with a libretto by John Clinton Hunt.
St. John's[edit]
In 1952 he returned to the U.S. to become a tutor at St. John's College in Annapolis in its Great Brooks Program. Although he taught part-time at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore from 1953 through 1956, he chose to stay at St. John's for the duration of his teaching career. Although he retired from the college in May 1986, he continued to teach and perform there until his death. For many years, he was a member of the board at the Yaddo artists colony near Saratoga Springs, NY. He died in Annapolis, Maryland on January 29, 2003, from a heart attack at the age of 81.
His catalog contains 63 mature musical compositions, from his Te Deum (1942) to his String Quartet No. 6 (2002). His main works include seven symphonies, two operas, Ethan Frome and Nightmare Abbey (based on the novel by Thomas Love Peacock), choral works, four string quartets, numerous chamber pieces, and innumerable piano and harpsichord works. During his lifetime, his orchestral works were performed by orchestras across America and Europe, including the National Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony, Stuttgart Philharmonic, Munich Radio Orchestra. He had a warm and creative collaboration with the Annapolis Brass Quintet from 1975 until its disbandment in 1991. Other performers who gave premieres of his music under his supervision include harpsichordist Ralph Kirkpatrick, violinist Robert Gerle, and the Kronos Quartet.
Personal life[edit]
Allanbrook was married twice. As recounted in See Naples, his first marriage was in 1952 to Candida Curcio, a theater actress whom he met in Italy; they had a son, Timothy, an architect. Later in 1975, he married the Mozart scholar and future president of the American Musicological Society Wye Allanbrook née Jamison (March 15, 1943 – July 15, 2010); their son, John, is a musician who has conducted recordings of several major Allanbrook works for Mapleshade Records.
Allanbrook died of a heart attack at his Annapolis home. He was 81.[1]

Maximality with or without binariness: transfer-type characterizations
We provide the first necessary and su±cient conditions in the literature for the existence of maximal elements in a non-binary choice framework. As an application, the characterization of the existence of maximal elements for acyclic binary relations obtained in Rodriguez-Palmero and Garcia-Lapresta, 2002, Mathematical Social Sciences 43, 55-60, is deduced as a Corollary. Further characterizations in di®erent settings given by Tian and Zhou, 1995, Journal of Mathematical Economics 24, 281- 303, follow as well. Analogous characterization problems in the k- acyclic binary cases are solved too.

THE jungle drums have been beating for Stockport County fan Gareth Eccleston.
Gareth, who was threatened with a four-match ban for standing while he banged his drum, has received widespread support from fans.
Letters, calls and emails backing the 17-year-old supporter from Offerton began flooding in almost as soon as he was ejected from Edgeley Park by stewards during a match against Derby.
In fact Hatters MD Keith Agar met with Gareth and overturned any threat of a ban.
He was able to attend Sunday's match despite his stand drawing so much attention.
The Aquinas student, who has spent £500 following the club this season, complained he had been treated heavy-handedly and called for a separate area in the stands for fans who want to stay on their feet, sing and bang away.
"They tried putting me at the front with the drum," he said. "But it doesn't work. It's up at the back where we create the atmosphere."
And fans agreed. These are just a few of their comments posted on the webiste:
"I think the club need to get things sorted out on the pitch first and leave the fans alone. After all banning the lad for trying to get the rest of the fans behind the team is extreme and totally stupid. I feel the fans have been let down long enough now, and its time that they are rewarded. Keep on drumming and make the noise louder." Neil S, west Yorkshire.
"Pathetic County. 1-0 down in a cup, six mins to go, and by all counts Stockport were all over Derby. And the only person getting the crowd behind Stockport was ejected. Perhaps if they'd waited until the end, Stockport could have equalised. Pity County don't have the same rules for away supporters who stand up throughout the game, or is it a case of picking on the easy target?" 'County defector to Sharks', Stockport.
"I know sharks fans and according to them they have loads of people with music instruments who stand throughout the match half way up the Cheadle stand. Gaz stands at the back not blocking anyone's way. My mum and dad live five minutes from the ground and they can tell when there is no drum, as they can't hear a sound - they prefer it when they can hear us cheering the lads on." CK, Stockport.
"Boring, boring county. Why are they trying to take the fun out of footy for the fans? He is a dedicated fan, leave him be and bring back the drum, and lets get behind county." Jonny, Stockport.
But Adam of Cale Green pointed out the club has sorted out the issue: "The matter is resolved. A fine example of the club acting to resolve a dispute before it gets out of hand."
Stockport County managing director Keith Agar said: "The FA regulations are against people standing for too long. It's a safety issue and that's why Gareth was removed. I love the drum but I can't condone what he did. From where I stand it seems like a yellow card matter."

This is not a story you read before you turn out the lights to go to sleep. It's not because the story is scary. This book is an adrenaline rush that I devoured in two days (when I should have been getting my beauty sleep).
Alex Sawyer, fourteen-year-old petty criminal in the UK has been framed for murdering his best friend—another petty criminal. For this crime, he is sent to Furnace, the new penitentiary that has been created for the most hardened juvenile delinquents. In fact, as the gang violence became more bloody, the prison became more populated. Now, however, teens are being framed by odd men in black suits with silver eyes and are being sent to Furnace in an alarming number. Unfortunately, if a person is sent to Furnace, it's for life, so if a person dies in the first couple of days, it's just not that big a deal. The rules are carefully policed by inhuman jailers, and there is some speculation that the warden is Satan. It's a survival of the fittest mentality, and into this, Alex is dumped. The vestiges of Alex's humanity, however, cause him no small amount of attention and potential grief. The book is gory, violent, and action packed. There is little profanity. It just isn't necessary. Readers become so quickly engaged that the story relentlessly propels them along, and ends abruptly. But wait. . .there's a sequel that is already being advertised.
NOTE: This book has been nominated as a 2010 YALSA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers--is anyone surprised?

The first time I picked up this book I was hooked... If you love thrillers, this is a book for you. The first words in this book are,"IF I STOPPED RUNNING I KNEW I WAS DEAD"... I am a person who hates to read, and i would read this book over and over again, and i have told many other people to read it. It gets a 10 out of 10

You Say Party! We Say Die!
Remember that one cheerleader in high school? You know, the one who discovered Camus, Marx and black lipstick in her junior year? Yeah, that one. She got all nihilistic and started shouting inane chants about murder, social injustice and revolution. And on game days, she dutifully wore her uniform but got violently defiant when the coach asked her to take out her septum piercing and cover up that neck tattoo. That just might have been Becky Ninkovic, frontwoman for the homicidal dance quintet You Say Party! We Say Die! With Derek Adam on abused guitar, Krista Loewen on contorted carnival keys, Stephen O'Shea on bass and Bruce Dyck on drums, the Vancouver-based act is an unstoppable sonic force. This machine kills fascists and bludgeons the bourgeoisie with Ramones beats, off-key rhythmic rants and a bloody maniacal organ. Its debut album, Hit the Floor! (yes, if exclamation points could kill, these folks would be doing time), is full of paranoid diatribes, hedonistic anthems and dance-punk frenzies. Evidently, that cheerleader picked up a case-a-day Red Bull habit, too.

IDC Lowers Tablet Forecast for 2013
In mature markets where tablet adoption has already accelerated to a rapid degree in recent years, future growth will be more muted. That's according to the projections released Thursday from IDC.
Faced with growing competition from larger smartphones and the prospect of new categories such as wearable devices diverting consumer spending, International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Tablet Tracker "modestly lowered its tablet forecast for 2013 and beyond."
Here's how the numbers shake out.
IDC now expects worldwide tablet shipments to reach 227.4 million units in 2013 (that's down from a previous forecast of 229.3 million). Despite the modest forecast change, the shipments IDC expects for 2013 remain 57.7% above 2012 shipments.
So not withstanding slowed growth, the growth will continue through at least 2017 when worldwide shipments are expected to hit 407 million units.
"A lower than anticipated second quarter, hampered by a lack of major product announcements, means the second half of the year now becomes even more critical for a tablet market that has traditionally seen its highest shipment volume occur during the holiday season," says Tom Mainelli, Research Director for Tablets at IDC. "We expect average selling prices to continue to compress as more mainstream vendors utilize low-cost components to better compete with the whitebox tablet vendors that continue to enjoy widespread traction in the market despite typically offering lower-quality products and poorer customer experiences."

Watch how to make this recipe.
Combine the yeast and 2 cups warm water in a mixing bowl and stir to dissolve. Add the butter, sugar and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in one-third of the flour until smooth. Add another third of the flour and stir, then turn it out onto a floured board to knead. Knead it over 15 minutes, adding the rest of the flour as you knead. Don't let it get dry too fast; it should stay sticky. Put the dough in a buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for 1 hour.
Knead the dough another 5 minutes, place it back in the bowl and let it rise another hour.
Butter 2 loaf pans. Shape the dough into 2 loaves and transfer them to the prepared pans. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake the loaves until golden brown on top and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.

Nice new building
I dislike about the employer
Management is very prejudice and does not promote from within. They tend to keep office staff for about a year and when it is time to start paying for vacation they fire you without warning.

Reader Alexander just came back from Beijing with this report that, frankly, makes me squeal like a pig: Advertisement I have just come home from a trip to Beijing and I thought I email you about this really cool (?!) thing I saw in a store window not far from my Beijing hotel. It looks like if you buy the Anycall phone you get a free Bluetooth headset + a set of what looks like two bluetooth pig speakers!! I tried several times to ask the staff in the store (there was about 15 of them) more about them, but none of them could speak any English. Through body language I managed to ask if I could buy just the speakers, but apparently I would have to buy the whole package (or that is what I think they ment with their hand movements). Would love to have a pair.So would I, my friend. Anyone out there got the scoop on these fine swine speakers? This image was lost some time after publication. UPDATE: The 'Stereo Squealers' have been found (big thanks to Andy). Sadly, they are not Bluetooth enabled—they use a regular audio line (unless the Chinese version is a lot better, but I think it's safe to say that these are the same trinkets). The best part is that the power and volume are controlled by the piggy's tail. They cost about $26. Advertisement Stereo Squealer' Pig Speakers [BoysStuff]ReplyLeave a reply

Ralgro Implants for Beef Cattle
This page contains information on Ralgro Implants for Beef Cattle for veterinary use.The information provided typically includes the following:
- Ralgro Implants for Beef Cattle Indications
- Warnings and cautions for Ralgro Implants for Beef Cattle
- Direction and dosage information for Ralgro Implants for Beef Cattle
Ralgro Implants for Beef Cattle
This treatment applies to the following species:IMPLANTS IN CARTRIDGES for Beef Cattle
CAUTION: Do not use in bulls intended for reproduction or dairy animals. Do not use before 1 month of age or after weaning in heifers intended for reproduction. Edema of the vulva and udder, teat elongation, rectal and vaginal prolapse, and signs of estrus may occur when heifers are implanted. Delayed testicular development may occur in young males. To avoid difficulty in castration, young males should be castrated at the time of implanting.
Dosage: 36 mg zeranol
A single pull of the RALOGUN® trigger delivers the proper 36-mg dose (three - 12-mg pellets per chamber). Manufactured by a non-sterilizing process.
Restricted Drug (California), Use Only as Directed.
WarningDO NOT ATTEMPT TO SALVAGE IMPLANT SITE FOR HUMAN OR ANIMAL FOOD. IMPLANT PELLETS IN THE EAR ONLY. ANY OTHER LOCATION IS IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. A WITHDRAWAL PERIOD HAS NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR THIS PRODUCT IN PRE-RUMINATING CALVES. DO NOT USE IN CALVES TO BE PROCESSED FOR VEAL. |
Directions For Using Ralgro® Implants In Cartridges With The Ralogun® Pellet Injector
RALGRO (zeranol) is an anabolic agent that increases rate of weight gain and improves feed conversion of weaned beef calves, growing beef cattle, feedlot steers, and feedlot heifers. RALGRO also increases rate of weight gain of suckling beef calves. Do not use in veal calves.
Effectiveness and animal safety in veal calves have not been established. RALGRO pellets are stable when stored between 2° and 25°C (36° and 77°F). RALGRO pellets each contain 12 mg of zeranol. Three pellets are required for 36-mg dose.
Each chamber of the plastic RALGRO cartridge contains a full dose of RALGRO implants. Insert the cartridge in the magazine of the RALOGUN pellet injector with the hole in the axle of the cartridge pointed toward the handle of the RALOGUN pellet injector. After snapping into place, rotate cartridge clockwise to ensure proper seating, then check window at top to ensure that pellet chamber is aligned with plunger.
Always use sharp needle. A dull needle tears tissue and makes proper implanting difficult. Be sure that needle is fully seated in RALOGUN pellet injector. This ensures that pellets will be expelled from the needle as RALOGUN plunger is extended. Failure to set the needle could cause the last pellet to be left in the needle and not implanted.
After appropriately restraining the animal to allow access to the ear, cleanse the skin at the implant needle puncture site.
The implant site is subcutaneous, between the skin and cartilage on the back side of the ear and below the midline of the ear. The implant must not be placed closer to the head than the edge of the auricular cartilage ring farthest from the head. The location for insertion of the needle is a point toward the tip of the ear and at least a needle length away from the intended deposition site. Care should be taken to avoid injuring the major blood vessels or cartilage of the ear. Squeeze trigger of the RALOGUN pellet injector to deliver a full dose of RALGRO. Keep trigger depressed while withdrawing the needle to be sure that RALGRO implants stay in place.
Wipe needle with cotton or gauze moistened with alcohol or other suitable disinfectant. Do not dip needle in solution because solution clinging to inside of needle will cause plugging of needle.
Rotate cartridge in direction of arrow until a new dose is visible and centered in window. The RALOGUN pellet injector is now ready for next implantation.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - South San Francisco, CA, United States, 2016/03/14 - Genentech announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted the companys Biologics License Application (BLA) and granted Priority Review for atezolizumab (anti-PDL1; MPDL3280A) - Gene.com. SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHB
Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the companys Biologics License Application (BLA) and granted Priority Review for atezolizumab (anti-PDL1; MPDL3280A) for the treatment of people with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) who had disease progression during or following platinum-based chemotherapy in the metastatic setting, or whose disease worsened within 12 months of receiving platinum-based chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant) or after surgery (adjuvant). Urothelial carcinoma accounts for 90 percent of all bladder cancers and can also be found in the renal pelvis, ureter and urethra. "Atezolizumab was granted Priority Review designation based on results of the IMvigor 210 study, which showed the medicine shrank tumors in a type of advanced bladder cancer, and the majority responding to treatment continued to respond after nearly a year of follow up," said Sandra Horning, M.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. "The treatment options available for advanced bladder cancer are very limited, and we are committed to working with the FDA to bring the first anti-PDL1 cancer immunotherapy to people with this disease as quickly as possible." A Priority Review designation is granted to medicines that the FDA has determined to have the potential to provide significant improvements in the safety and effectiveness of the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of a serious disease. Atezolizumab was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the FDA in May 2014 for the treatment of people whose metastatic bladder cancer expresses the protein PD-L1 (programmed death ligand-1). Breakthrough Therapy Designation is designed to expedite the development and review of medicines intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases and to help ensure that people have access to them through FDA approval as soon as possible. The BLA submission for atezolizumab is based on results of the IMvigor 210 Phase II study, and the FDA will make a decision on approval by Sept. 12, 2016. Atezolizumab is also being studied in a number of other cancers. About the IMvigor 210 study IMvigor 210 is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm Phase II study that evaluated the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab in people with locally advanced or mUC, regardless of PD-L1 expression. People in the study whose disease had progressed during or following previous treatment with a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen (n=311) received a 1200-mg intravenous dose of atezolizumab on day one of 21-day cycles until loss of clinical benefit. The primary endpoint of the study was objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by an independent review facility (IRF) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), overall survival, progression-free survival and safety. In an updated analysis based on 11.7 months of median follow up, atezolizumab shrank tumors (ORR) in 15 percent (95 percent CI: 11, 19) of people evaluable for efficacy and safety (n=310) whose disease progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy. Atezolizumab shrank tumors in 26 percent (95 percent CI: 18, 36) of people whose disease had medium and high levels of PD-L1 expression (n=100). Median DOR was not reached at the time of analysis; with a median duration of follow up of 11.7 months, 84 percent (38/45) of people had an ongoing response. The most common Grade 3 to 4 treatment-related adverse events included: fatigue (2 percent), decreased appetite, fever (pyrexia), anemia, enzymes in the blood (ALT and AST increase), joint pain (arthralgia), difficulty breathing (dyspnea), inflammation of the lung wall (pneumonitis), inflammation of the lining of the colon (colitis), hypertension and hypotension (all 1 percent). There were no treatment-related Grade 5 adverse events. In addition to IMvigor 210, Genentech has an ongoing, confirmatory Phase III study (IMvigor 211), which compares atezolizumab to chemotherapy in people whose bladder cancer has progressed on at least one prior platinum-containing regimen. About metastatic urothelial cancer According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), it is estimated that more than 76,000 Americans will be diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2016, and about 11 percent of new diagnoses are made when bladder cancer is in advanced stages. There is a dramatic difference in survival rates between early and advanced bladder cancer. The ACS estimates that approximately 96 percent of people will live five or more years when diagnosed with the earliest stage of the disease, compared to 39 percent when diagnosed in advanced stages (stage III-IV) of the disease. Men are about three to four times more likely to get bladder cancer during their lifetime than women. About atezolizumab Atezolizumab (also known as MPDL3280A; anti-PDL1) is an investigational monoclonal antibody designed to bind with a protein called programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). Atezolizumab is designed to directly bind to PD-L1 expressed on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, blocking its interactions with PD-1 and B7.1 receptors. By inhibiting PD-L1, atezolizumab may enable the activation of T cells. Atezolizumab may also affect normal cells. About Genentech in Personalized Cancer Immunotherapy For more than 30 years, Genentech (gene.com/immunotherapy) has been developing medicines with the goal to redefine treatment in oncology. Today, were investing more than ever to bring personalized cancer immunotherapy (PCI) to people with cancer. The goal of PCI is to provide each person with a treatment tailored to harness his or her own immune system to fight cancer. Genentech is studying more than 20 investigational medicines, nine of which are in clinical trials. In every study we are evaluating biomarkers to identify which people may be appropriate candidates for our medicines.

The Quality of Fiscal Adjustment and the Long-Run Growth Impact of Fiscal Policy in Brazil
1 of 1Metadata
The authors describe the main trends of Brazil's fiscal policy during the past decade and analyze (1) the ability to raise the primary surplus in response to external shocks, (2) the pro-cyclical nature of fiscal policy, and (3) the long-run impact of government expenditure composition and taxation. They analyze the use of the primary balance as a policy tool within the Drudi-Prati model, wherein the government uses the primary balance to reveal its commitment to service its debt. The authors verify that both the debt ratio and the primary balance are determinants of spreads and credit ratings in Brazil. But the relationship is nonlinear: the impact of the primary balance on spreads is amplified as the debt ratio increases. Using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, the authors analyze the relationship between the primary balance and economic activity, finding a positive correlation in the long run. However, in the short run fiscal expansions are associated with primary balance reductions and vice-versa during output contractions, confirming the procyclical nature of fiscal policy in the short run. The authors use two approaches, ARDL and a cointegrating value at risk (VAR), to analyze the interaction between public expenditure composition and taxation on growth. Similar results are obtained: large elasticities of output with respect to capital stocks, a significant negative impact of taxation on long-run GDP, and a negative impact of increasing government consumption and transfer payments on GDP. These results shed light on the contribution of fiscal policy to disappointing growth performance in Brazil during the past decade.Citation

I have purchased this product many times
By MandalaFractal
from St Paul, MN
I have used this in conjunction with the foils by pebeo. It does leave a 3-D look and not a smooth finish but I am okay with that. It takes longer than 1 hour to dry if applied thickly. The nozzle can plug up but there are replacements if needed. I have also pressed hard on the clogged nozzle and the metal on the tube is weak and will leak out in other areas. The main reason I like it is because I have not found anything else that will replace this product as far as attaching foil.

Shift in site won't require overhaul of Warriors' arena design
Published April 28, 2014, Page 4
Team officials announced last week that they had moved the project to Mission Bay, a growing neighborhood two miles south of the waterfront site on Piers 30-32 initially targeted by the Warriors.
The rendering shows the new site, in San Francisco's Mission Bay area, for the Warriors' arena. |
The project will require fewer regulatory approvals in Mission Bay than at the old site. The move ultimately provides a much clearer path toward completing the project, Welts said.
"This keeps us on the timeline that we hoped for at the other site, but now we're feeling really confident we can be playing NBA games in a brand-new arena in 2018," he said.
As the Warriors shift their focus to the new site, they keep the same arena development team intact, led by Kansas City-based sports architect David Manica and Snøhetta, an Oslo, Norway, design firm.
Consultant David Carlock, a former Houston Rockets executive principally involved in the development of Toyota Center, remains the Warriors' project executive.
"We were in love with the arena that had been designed, but it was designed specifically for the piers and this is a different site with different opportunities," Welts said. "We [still] have spectacular views to the bay."
But now, instead of being right on the water, the arena will be separated from San Francisco Bay by a 5 1/2-acre green park, a development triggered by the Warriors' project that ties into an existing Mission Bay master plan, he said.
There will be a few minor adjustments to the arena's interior spaces, including additional access from all four sides of the facility, compared with the single entrance in the original waterfront design. In addition, an upper-level restaurant could potentially be added, project officials said.
"We think we've nailed it in terms of the components and [seating] products we want to have in the building," Welts said.
Outside the arena will be 6,000 parking spaces within a short walk of the facility, an upgrade over the old site, Carlock said.
The Warriors plan to develop property next to their arena, which was their intent at the original site. The team has yet to determine whether it will have a partner in that project, Welts said.
"This [site] is entitled for office construction and probably 75,000 to 90,000 square feet of retail, mostly restaurants that will serve people attending events at the arena and the surrounding neighborhoods," he said.

Love is Fear: A Valerie Dearborn Novel
- Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (December 14, 2011)
- Length: 384 pages
- Format: PDF, Epub, Mobi
- Downloaded: 26
Book Description
Love is Fear is the highly anticipated sequel to the Number One Fantasy Bestseller, Love is Darkness. After a lot of swearing and only a little nookie, Valerie Dearborn has decided to make a change. No more lusting after Lucas, the hot, but emotionless, vampire king who can't commit. Instead she's going to make it work with Jack. After all, not only is he breathing, but he's the love of her life….Isn't he? Valerie is an Empath, with supernatural abilities that seem to do nothing more than give her the hots for Lucas. Once upon a time, Empath's had a purpose. They were ambassadors to the Others—Fey, Witches, Werewolves and Vampires. They could settle the emotions of a Werewolf and make Vampires feel again. But that was long ago. Lucas isn't about to let Valerie go. He needs her to help him find the Fey, last seen in the Colony of Roanoke, South Carolina, circa 1587. He still believes they are the key to restoring balance to the world and the only way to keep vampires under control. They won't trust him, but they will trust Val. Between Jack, Lucas and Rachel, Val knows life won't be dull. Nor will it be the normal, 2.5 kids kind of life she's always wanted. As their enemies close in, Val must ask herself what life is really about–trust, duty or mind-blowing orgasms? And even if she finds the answer, she may not live long enough to enjoy it. Please note—this novel is not YA and has lots of sass, swearing and sex. Not necessarily in that order.

"Such a disappointment" by theliterarygirl
I'm so disappointed in this book. I had pretty good expectations after the first in the series, as I liked that quite a bit and the characters had quite a bit of potential. I won't provide a plot summary here since others have done that, but I would suggest that unless you thought the first in the series was absolutely one of the best books you've ever read, do not read the second one. It disappoints on so many levels. The most overwhelming problem I had with this book is its tone, which stays consistent throughout its entirety.From the very beginning it is full of bitterness, despair, depression, anger, hatred and disillusionment. While I thought Valerie had some potential in the first book, she lost everything in the second. Her character was so dismal and dreary that I lost all desire to read the book even though there was quite a bit of good suspense throughout. While reading, I literally began to feel depressed from all the anger, bitterness, sadness and bickering that the characters portrayed; a reader can only take so much! We get the point already! Even the sex scenes, which were decent, could not make up for the complete negativity that followed all of the characters. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all about a good measure of darkness in my books, but there is a difference between the dark nature of characters and the complete and total misery of everyone involved, for the whole book!
The last problem I had was with the editing errors; there were quite a few. Unfortunately, one thing that I have noticed with the increasing number of digital books, is also the increasing amount of editing errors. Either the publishing process is not as heavily scrutinized because the books are digital, or something is being screwed up in translation. Sadly, this book also had some of the worst editing errors that I've seen in any digital book so far. I understand that the price is low (I can't really complain at $3.99) but I'd rather pay a bit more for better quality work.
"Couldn't follow" by Kim Northrup
I had difficult time following along. Too many inside voice comments, attempts at jokes and such between quotes. Nit my cup of tea
"Love bites…in a good way" by Pam Godwin "Pam Godwin"
**This is a review of the trilogy as a whole.**Forget Twilight. This series is one of the best hidden treasures amidst a genre of brooding passive-aggressive vampires. In this densely carnal, twisted take on fey, vampire, and otherworld magic, the heroine Valerie shines beneath the crushing weight of her love for two heroes. Jack, her childhood friend turned vampire hunter, is committed to keeping things platonically frustrating. Lucas, the 1600 year old vampire king, is complicated by his cold abstention of emotion. Each book in this series is infused with a deliberate pace that proves instrumental in establishing and perpetuating what I love most about this story: the dark tone and fantastical atmosphere. From book 1 to book 3, it is dreary, heartfelt, vengeful, and imaginative, without any tacked-on erotica or desperate cliches. The world building is masterful, the writing equally so. CH tortures you before handing over Valerie's hard-earned forbidden love, and while the third book concludes with a HEA epilogue, intriguing questions remain. A promise of another book, separate from the trilogy
"Excellent series…" by KH
Excellent series, can't wait for the sequel. Easy to read, characters well developed and engaging. Looking forward to seeing how the characters evolve and of course fall in love/hate!

- test application and its features
- check for typos
- usability check
I also would like to get your overall impression. I don't expect the job to take more than a few hours (tight budget).
