In the past four weeks, the Southern football team is 1-3, its three losses coming by four points, five points and three points.
It's been a disappointing month for the Jaguars, who at times have faltered in almost every area - passing offense, rushing offense, special-teams units, run defense and the like.
One area, however, has been rock-steady: pass defense.
"Not bad at all," second-year coach Stump Mitchell said, referring to his secondary.
Last season, Southern gave up a conference-high 25 touchdown passes.
Through six games this season, the Jaguars have allowed three. They rank second in the SWAC in pass defense, allowing 181.3 yards per game, and opposing quarterbacks have completed only 47 percent of their throws.
What's made the difference?
It hasn't hurt that sophomore Virgil Williams has grown into his role as a No. 1 cornerback, or that freshman LaMarkius Pettaway emerged from training camp as a clear-cut No. 2 corner.
It also hasn't hurt that safeties Levi Jackson and Demetric Rogers have rebounded from disappointing seasons.
Jackson now ranks second on the team with 44 tackles, and Rogers is third with 40.
But Mitchell said an adjustment in scheme has helped the team more than anything else.
Last year, defensive coordinator O'Neill Gilbert often blitzed safeties and linebackers, gambling that the team could sack the quarterback or pressure him into making bad throws.
Instead, all too often, the Jaguars secondary got burned for big gains. In the first nine games last season, opponents gained 20 or more yards on 53 plays.
"It's much better when you've got someone deep," Mitchell said. "Now, we don't have as many sacks as we had last year because we were bringing one more than they could block. But we're giving up less points than we did last year. So I think the overall philosophy of the defense has changed to make a better defense."
Mitchell also cited the work of secondary coach Donnie Henderson, a longtime NFL assistant who joined the staff just before training camp. Henderson replaced Otis Flowers, who was fired this summer.
The Jaguars (2-4, 2-2 Southwestern Athletic Conference) play at Arkansas-Pine Bluff (3-3, 2-2) in a matchup of two teams tied for second place in the Western Division.
The Golden Lions average 193.8 passing yards per game.
Not about the coaches?
Two days after Prairie View dropped Southern 23-20 at Mumford Stadium - and, in doing so, gave Heishma Northern a win over his alma mater - the Panthers first-year coach said he thought stories of his triumphant return were overblown.
"In my opinion, a lot of people wanted to make it out to be like Stump and I were playing one-on-one against each other, and not the two football teams from the respective universities," Northern said Monday. "It was a good team win."
Northern, Mitchell and Shaw University coach Darrell Asberry were the three lead candidates to replace Pete Richardson as SU coach in 2009. Mitchell got the job ahead of Northern, who had voiced concerns about the size of Southern's staff (at the time, Prairie View had 10 assistant coaches, whereas SU had six full-time assistants).
Bus trips
A few of the bus trips planned for Southern's game at Arkansas-Pine Bluff:
6TH MAN CLUB: The bus will leave at 6 a.m. Saturday from 4523 Plank Rd. and return to Baton Rouge after the game. The cost is $125 and includes a game ticket and tailgating. For information, call Anna Jones at (225) 907-7212, Freddie Green at (225) 388-9403, or Elijah Wilkinson at (225) 355-9249.
SU UNIFICATION ORGANIZATION: The bus will leave from 1233 Government St. and stay overnight in Pine Bluff. The cost is $190 for a single person and $240 for a couple; it includes hotel, game ticket and postgame party. For information, call Leo Williams at (225) 355-6886 or (225) 357-3833.
BLUE & GOLD CLUB: The cost is $115 per person and includes a game ticket, tailgating and refreshments. The hotel cost is $65 per room. For information, call Craig Pierre at (225) 324-7234, Robert Square at (225) 931-4052, Eddie Braxton at (225) 654-7245 or Arthur Jack at (225) 315-8682.

Nothing upsets the board more than an inaccurate forecast. Projecting $10M in revenues for next quarter and landing a $7M result is painful. The challenge is knowing whether or not your forecast is real.
The Issue
Most CEOs I talk to feel their pipeline forecasts are about 50% accurate. They head into board meetings with a coin flip's chance of hitting the number.
What causes this? Sales processes are almost always designed inward out. A group of sales managers and reps get together and determine how they think they should sell.. They cobble together activities that occur during a sale. "Let's see, we:
- Determine they have budget (Phase 1)
- Identify need (Phase 2)
- Submit a proposal (Phase 3)
- Negotiate pricing (Phase 4)
- Submit contracts (Phase 5)
- Close the deal" (Phase 6)
Sales assigns arbitrary metrics to the various stages of the process. For instance, phase 1 gets a 10% chance of closing. Phase 2 is 25%, and so on.
Why This Results in Inaccurate Forecasts
It doesn't work. The above exercise is a useful one for developing a hypothesis. Most organizations stop here without ever validating these things as true.
The reps race to get proposals on the table as fast as possible. Your funnel looks like an upside down pear. Fat at the top and middle. Skinny on the bottom. Every now and then, a deal drips out of the bottom and someone wins a sale.
This is a sign your sales team doesn't know how your customers buy. They are focused on the macro decisions your customers make. They are focused inward out. They ignore all the micro-decisions a buyer makes when they go through a purchase process. They are not outward in.
What is A Micro-Decision?
A micro-decision is a series of questions a buyer asks himself along the journey. For example, let's say you are a Director of IT and your servers crash at a branch office. An "event" has occurred. The macro view suggests the Director is going to look for a solution to the crash. While this is true, it fails to capture what the buyer is really thinking:
- What happened?
- Is this going to happen again?
- Is it impacting my customers?
- Is my neck on the line for this?
- How quickly can this be fixed?
If the buyer's cannot answer these questions, your chances of winning are low. Your rep is focused on a server crash as a compelling event. Meanwhile, the buyer has decided it's a one-time event and isn't a real issue. The deal is dead, but sits in your forecast while the rep tries to push a rope.
The Fix
Validating your customers' buying process is the solution. You need to research past, present and future customers.
The past are your existing accounts. They know a lot about you. You've helped define the solution to their problem with your product. The present are opportunities. These are people currently evaluating whether or not you can solve their problem. Their view is slightly less tainted.
The future are prospects. These folks have little to no knowledge you exist. Their view of the market problems and how to solve is pure. Go heavy here. These conversations bring the greatest insight.
How Can You Do This?
Here are the broad strokes of how to complete this:
- Start with a generic buying process (see image)
- Gather an expert panel to create the micro-decision map
- Interview the past, present and future to validate/invalidate their micro-decisions
- Implement the map to measure the buyer's journey properly
- Forecast accurately
It takes months of hardcore research to do this properly. Your long-time sales reps will think they know what the buyer is thinking. You will be surprised by what you find. Companies who nail this have forecasts that exceed 75% accuracy.
Here is a tool to prevent you from getting slaughtered in your next board meeting. It is called The Sales Forecast BS Detector. It allows a CEO to determine how big of a problem forecasting is. If The Sales Forecast BS Detector reveals a problem, consider implementing the outward in process above. If the tool suggests the forecast is accurate, don't worry about forecasting. It is good enough.

How many Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners do you think you could get through with sauce made from 13 million cranberries? The cranberry growers of British Columbia have come up with an alternative for that many that doesn't require any time in the kitchen.
Fill a shallow canal in the shape of the Canadian Olympic logo -- the international Olympic rings and a maple leaf -- with the red berries and add a pool outside the Richmond, B.C., city hall for good measure: 46,000 square feet of cranberries floating in the installation designed by Dallas-based Stephen Stefanou.
British Columbia is the third largest grower of cranberries in North America, behind Wisconsin and Massachusetts. Grower Dan Keefer says the local berries were harvested in October and November; frozen; shipped to Richmond, a suburb of Vancouver, thawed and poured into the forms a few days ago.
After seeing their TV commercials, we knew cranberry growers had a sense of humor. Now we know they are quite the quirky lot. Raise a glass of juice in their honor.

I really love the outdoors and their activities (skiing, sailing, skiing, rock climbing, skiing...you get the idea), particularly in the winter (did I say skiing?), and would love to find someone who enjoys the like and can navigate their way around the trails without getting lost.
I can be quiet at first, but definitely open up, and almost don't know when to stop talking with a person who is chatty. I'm looking for someone to keep me on my toes, who can challenge me, and likes to get out and do/ see stuff. I've been described by my friends as unique, which I will take any day over being normal.
I'm a fairly open book, so feel free to ask me anything.
Although I do not consider myself a very religious person, I strongly prefer to date someone of the same religion.
I've recently been looking into returning to school for a higher degree and will be studying for the GREs in the fall.
-Giving my friends good advice, yet somehow I can't take my own.
-driving confidently and with a purpose and not like everyone else in this city
Music- I listen to a lot of mainstream on the radio and anything from Mumford and Sons, Walk Off the Earth, Ellie Goulding to old school Biggie and everything in between. I love singing (in my car and shower) so anything with some soul to it is okay by me.
TV- I will literally watch anything (except shows involving murder- feel free to ask if you want to know why), but do not have any shows that I must watch on a weekly basis. I'd much rather be out and about than at home because a show is on that I can not miss. When I am home though, my TV is typically tuned to trashy reality on Bravo, but mostly because it's used as background noise. Shows I actually enjoy include Friends (yes, I quote them), HIMYM, Big Bang Theory, 20/20, The Blacklist, Girls, etc.
Food- I eat to live, not live to eat (sorry, I'm not a foodie), but do enjoy eating as an activity! I love sushi, Indian, Mediterranean/ Israeli, good old comfort food and much more! I can almost always find something to eat, unless the place only serves pork.
Books- I am more of a magazine person and currently loving the subscription to Outdoor magazine that my sister got me. When I read books, my roommate refers to them as book candy aka girly, but not trashy, novels. I am however trying to get a few classics under my belt, and also enjoy some good non-fiction.

Announcement of the Work Programme
1. Employment programmes to help long-term unemployed
and certain other economically inactive people to find jobs and
to come off benefits ("welfare to work") have been delivered
through government contracts with the private, public and voluntary
sectors since the 1990s.[1]
The Coalition Government announced its plans to "end all
existing welfare to work programmes and create a single welfare
to work programme to help all unemployed people get back into
work" as part of its Programme for Government in May 2010.[2]
2. The scheme will be called the Work Programme
and will replace existing contracted employment programmes for
a range of unemployed and certain other economically inactive
people, including those with health conditions and some disabled
unemployed people. The programme will not, however, replace Work
Choice.[3] Contracts to
deliver most existing programmes (Flexible New Deal, New Deal
for Young People, New Deal 25+, New Deal for Disabled People,
New Deal for Lone Parents, Pathways to Work, Progress2work and
Employment Zones) will end during spring/summer 2011. The Work
Programme will be rolled out nationally in June 2011.[4]
We discuss the transition from existing contracts to Work Programme
contracts in chapter 9.
3. The Work Programme will be available to people
claiming income-related Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) and Employment
and Support Allowance (ESA) (both income and contribution-based).
The programme categorises customers into eight groups, based on
the benefit which they are claiming at the time they are put on
the Work Programme. For some customer groups, individuals will
need to have been receiving benefits for a specific period before
becoming eligible for the programme.
4. The eight groups will form the basis for differential
payments, which are designed to incentivise prime contractors
to support the hardest to help by offering these organisations
larger payments for finding jobs for those furthest from the labour
market. The intention is to ensure that prime contractors do not
focus simply on working with people for whom it may be easier
to find jobs. We discuss the differential payments model in chapter
5. Some key features of the Work Programme are
as follows:
Background to this inquiry
6. We were keen to examine the contracting arrangements
for the Work Programme, including requirements to be placed on
providers, and report on our findings before the programme is
rolled out nationally. Our inquiry therefore focused on the following
7. We received 37 submissions from a range of
organisations and individuals. We took oral evidence from academics
and experts; prime contractors, subcontractors and the industry
body, the Employment Related Services Association; and the DWP
Minister, Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP, and DWP officials. A full
list of witnesses is set out at the end of the report. We also
visited the United States to talk to organisations and individuals
involved in the delivery of welfare to work services in the State
of Wisconsin and New York City and academics in the field. We
are very grateful to all those we met in the US and to everyone
who contributed to the inquiry.
8. We would also like to thank our Specialist
Adviser for this inquiry: Ian Mulheirn, Director of the Social
Market Foundation.[6] We
very much appreciate the contribution he made to our work.
9. We intend to look at the operation of the
Work Programme in more detail, focusing more specifically on its
effectiveness in supporting different customer groups, later in
this Parliament.

May 2010, page 23. Back
Work Choice, a separate programme to help disabled people with
severe disability-related barriers to work, was launched by DWP
in October 2010. Work Choice replaced the existing WORKSTEP and

Relevant interests of the specialist adviser were made available
to the Committee before the decision to appoint him on 17 November
2010. The Committee formally noted that Ian Mulheirn declared
an interest as Director of the Social Market Foundation, in that
some of the Foundation's work has been sponsored by private and
third sector employment service providers.

Yea, you are right. You have to have a constrained set of domains to search and to be honest, that works pretty well. The only thing, I still get a lot of junk links. I would say that 30% are valid or interesting links while the other is kind of worthless. I guess it is a matter of studying spam filters and removing that but I have been kind of lazy in doing so. http://botspiritcompany.com/botlist/spring/search/global_search.html?query=bush&querymode=enabled I have already built a site that I am describing, based on a short list of popular domains using the very basic aspects of nutch.

Struggling software firms ripe for takeover
By Jon Swartz and Michelle Kessler, USA TODAY
Software makers who mushroomed with the Internet are fading
away just as quickly as they sprouted.
In the first 3 months of this year, 380 mergers and acquisitions
totaling $13 billion occurred in the Internet software market. That is up from
211 deals worth $5 billion in the previous quarter, says mergers and acquisitions
firm Software Equity Group.
And analysts say it is just the start of a busy software
shopping season. "As the Internet industry consolidates, so does the software
market," says Chris LeTocq, industry analyst at Guernsey Research.
Among the latest deals: PeopleSoft last week acquired SkillsVillage,
an upstart Web-services firm. Actuate said it would buy Tidestone Technologies,
its third acquisition in a year. IBM recently snapped up Informix's database
software business for $1 billion. Monday, a potential bidding war loomed for
Internet software firm Proxicom after South Africa-based Dimension Data Holdings
offered 30% more a share for the firm than has Compaq Computer.
"The companies that weren't uplifted by the false Internet
phenomenon should be fine," says Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, who in a recent interview
predicted more consolidation. Software makers face several obstacles, including:
Too many players. At least 30 software makers
now peddle software to help companies do business over the Internet, "which
is three times as many as the market can support," says Simon Yates of Forrester
Research. Trimming is underway. This year, three business-to-business companies
Neon, Netfish and Extricity were acquired.
Companies are enhancing product lines through
acquisitions. This year, software giant Macromedia gobbled Allaire for $360
million, and Hewlett-Packard completed a $480 million purchase of Bluestone
Software. Both firms specialize in the fast-growing market for Web servers.
"These companies are in high demand," says Jeff Tarter, editor of Soft-letter.
Flagging stock prices. Although many software
stocks have spiked since April, many of those in e-business are swooning. Ariba's
stock is off 95% from its 52-week high. Tibco Software shares are down 90% from
their 52-week high. And Commerce One is down 89%, closing Monday at $9.06 from
a high of $84.13. That makes them prime takeover prizes. "They're classic victims
of the boom-and-bust cycle of the Internet," Forrester's Frank Gillett says.
What's more, companies are squeamish about investing in
software programs from companies seen to be struggling, says Lauren Hall, executive
vice president of the Software & Information Industry Association.
Meanwhile, the European software market is ripe for mergers
because of a drop in tech spending, says a report published by European Securities
Network, a group of banks and brokerages. "It's the cyclical nature of the high-tech
industry," says Steve Mills, senior vice president of IBM's software group.
"As quickly as hot technologies and companies crop up, they contract."

Read Dan Weber's "Just Sayin': Rivalry Week" edition here.
There are times when it's all about history. Other times it's about the future. Or it could simply be about the here and now.
For USC's resurgent Trojans, winners of seven straight in their first Notre Dame workout Tuesday, it was about all three.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Darnold is the future as he just keeps adding to his resume week after week..
Junior wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, as he deals with the most painful injury day in his college career Saturday against UCLA, is the present -- for now. He's "50-50," he says on coming back and he is registered for class next semester so no need to answer questions about "his last game at the Coliseum," he says. No it's nothing but the Notre Dame game for him -- and how he gets his body ready for Saturday.
Then there's Clay Helton, head historian here, making sure everyone understands what's on the line this week. The Shillelagh, for one thing. Clay promised practice visitor Max Nikias that they'd get it back this week. Later Clay noted how USC already has the Victory Bell after Saturday's win over UCLA and getting the Shillelagh trophy the same year is something that's "happened maybe 20 times," Clay said, in the 83 seasons USC has played both archrivals.
And for the first time since 2008, USC would have gone unbeaten in October and November not to mention a perfect 6-0 at the Coliseum and 7-0 in LA.
"We have so much to play for in this game," Clay said. But with the College Football Playoff rankings released during practice and much of the discussion about whether an eight-win USC team that inched up one spot to No. 12, should be in the discussion with three losses.
"That's not our job," Clay said. He'll let the people whose job it is decide that one. "It's so hard to win a game at this level if there's any other noise out there," Clay said, "our job is to beat Notre Dame."
Having a healthy JuJu and a Sam slinging it like he has will make that much more doable. First, JuJu, who says that pass reception that had him landing just short of the goal line Saturday, injured him in three places -- his shoulder, his wrist and his hip -- not counting his back that's been a problem all season. "It was so much pain," he said as he also told himself as he headed to the X-ray room at the Rose Bowl that he "was definitely coming back."
And so he did, convincing the trainers he was all right and then subbing himself back into the game. How does he do that? "I just walk on the field and pull somebody out," JuJu said. Simple.
But the more it became obvious that he was dragging more than just a bit, Helton did have a third-quarter talk with JuJu reminding him "not to be selfish" after "he'd given us all he had and now it was time to trust his buddy," which he did allowing DeQuan Hampton to return to the field to complete a two-touchdown career game.
JuJu did talk about what is becoming a daily rehab regimen to get ready to play, starting as early as 7 in the morning for as much as three-and-a-half hours in the trainers room "before and after" practice, JuJu said. There's massage and core work along with hand and wrist special drills as well as an ice bath apparatus and JuJu's favorite, the underwater treadmill.
And then there was Sam, whose one special memory of this series, he says, is being there for the 2010 game at the Coliseum in a cold rain when his family was sitting next to a number of Notre Dame fans who shared their umbrellas. "They were very respectful," Sam said, as is he. "Their record doesn't show how good they are," Sam said. But the record Sam most remembers is this one: "They beat us last year," Sam says. Enough said.
But a big part of beating them back this year will be Sam being Sam. And that brings a smile to offensive coordinator Tee Martin's face as he describes that play in the UCLA game where the pocket collapsed on him twice with the nation's top sacker, Tak McKinley essentially breathing on him, and somehow, not once but twice, Sam escaped and as he did, found a target for a completion on a play that had sack written all over it.
"I have to snap back to coaching after a play like that," Tee says, as he becomes a fan first. "An amazing play . . . his brain works so fast and he processes things so quickly," Tee says wondering if Sam's other sports of basketball and baseball play into it. "He plays with such freedom . . you have to take something away from him," to keep him from using it. And then he'll still come back at you the way he did that 31-yard TD pass to Hampton that was six inches from an interception. It had to be perfect -- and it was.
"That's so unique in a freshman quarterback," Tee says. "His teammates love watching him play and they love playing with him."
They love something else, Clay said, reciting these numbers since the Utah game with Sam in control: "500 yards a game, 33,34-35 points a game."
Tuesday footnoted
Trojan alums showed up at practice Tuesday starting with A.D. Lynn Swann's roommate Sam Cunningham, Jim Obradovich, John Papadakis and most recently, Tony Burnett, who drove 30 hours from Winnipeg, stopping only in Salt Lake City, after Saturday's one-point loss by his Blue Bombers in the CFL playoff semifinals in order to beat the snow . . . Swann was here as well accompanying Pres. Max Nikias, to whom Helton made a promise that USC will get the Shillelagh back from the Irish . . . Clay put in a pitch for the effort Saturday led by Clay and his wife to collect 5,000 pairs of sneakers at the Coliseum for the homeless . . . For the injury report, Josh Fatu was here and did a bit of practice and looked like he'll be able to go Saturday . . . DB Jonathan Lockett worked with the defense and should be ready to go by week's end . . .nose tackle Stevie Tu'ikolovatu was in gear and ready to go but they went light on him preferring he be ready for Saturday . . . Freshman DB Pie Young is still out on concussion protocol . . . Adoree' Jackson's ankle was 100 percent . . . Chad Wheeler had his sprained wrist casted and practiced as normal . . .

For Your Weekend Listening Pleasure: The Shape of Jeff Beck to Come at Louann's in '68
This is an actual photo from that July '68 show at Louann's. The story behind it can be found here.
R.E. Barnes
Three, almost four years ago I first mentioned it -- Jeff Beck at Lou and Ann Bovis's joint on Lovers Lane and Greenville Avenue in '68, with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood among those rounding out the band (Mickey Waller too, on drums). Not so hard to find as I found, but it hasn't gotten much play of late -- though David Fricke, who provided the original heads-up, mentioned it again only a few weeks ago amongst "Jeff Beck's Essential Recordings."
He wrote then and now of the Louann's show: "Beck solos with precise vengeful fire, whipping through his old Yardbirds showcase 'Beck's Boogie' at manic velocity, then snapping back at Stewart's vocal in B.B. King's 'Sweet Little Angel' in sharp animal growls and dazzling slalom-like runs." Which doesn't even begin to describe it; mind-boggling, nothing less ("Mother's Old Rice Pudding," I look in your general direction). Also essential recordings: "You Shook Me" (and how), "Shape of Things" (so barely related to the Yardbirds' original), "Beck's Bolero" and the rest of it -- history when it was a brand-new adventure.
Earlier this week, Beck and the group's July 17, 1968, Greenville stomp resurfaced again, and I spent the better part of last night revisiting the recording, which sounds much, much better than I recall. No need to take my word. But, first, this note: When I demo'd it last night, the conversion said "corrupted" upon completion. It wasn't. Far from.

Takahiro Omori hooked up with only his second fish, but what a fish it was.
Cries of "fish-on!" went through the group of observer and photographer boats. Omori initially fought it on the opposite side of the boat, then brought it around the bow. Everyone expected a smallmouth due to how long he worked the fish. Instead he pulled out a plump, long largemouth.
He held up the 5-plus pounder as the fans cheered and the cameras clicked away.
A few more hogs like that, and everyone will forget that Omori's Day 4 has started slower than his other mornings on Wheeler.
At this point of Championship Sunday, Crews and Omori are slugging it out in BASSTrakk while Lefebre is MIA. A few more fish like the one he just caught, and Omori will have thrown and landed a knockout punch.

Foul weather may keep all but the most adventuresome visitors from traveling to the Oregon Coast, but a lack of information prevents all from even trying to make a trip. Lodging executives depend on tourists to keep their businesses running in the black, even when the clouds roll in. To attract those customers, they count on effective marketing campaigns funded by room taxes.

Tax season often brings a sour mood this time of year, but for many employers there is a variety of tax credits that can be beneficial to the bottom line. Since many businesses operate under a fiscal year, these tax credits are applicable year round - even if you already filed, you can amend your tax return.

Hotels in compliance with the 1991 Standards by March 15, 2012, need not do more to upgrade existing facilities, except where the 2010 Standards cover previously unregulated areas. That means that if hotel facilities were in compliance with the 1991 Standards, they need only make "readily achievable" changes to newly regulated public accommodations.
The first ever annual legislative session came to a close recently and Governor Kitzhaber was able to get his four major priority bills passed, but little else happened. The good thing, from a business standpoint, is that Oregon is closer to having an operational health exchange system.
A small group of ORLA members traveled to Washington, D.C. for the AH&LA Public Affairs Conference. Not surprising, the main topic of discussion centered on the new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) interpretation around lifts for pools and spas.
Studies show that the chance of an injured worker returning to the job decreases significantly the longer the absence from work. As a business owner, these statistics become even more alarming when you add in an average cost of $285 for each day that an employee is off work and receiving medical treatment*.

A couple weeks ago, our 9 yo lab mix got very sick. She couldn't keep food or water down. We took her to the vet for blood work. Her kidney levels and liver enzymes were elevated. The liver enzymes were really high--about 20X normal.The only thing out of the ordinary that had happened was that 4 or 5 days before, she'd eaten some kind of bone that had been on our street for days. Not sure if it was an old chicken bone from someone's trash or if it was a wild animal bone.
She stayed at the vet on IV fluids and antibiotics for 2 days. They repeated the blood work and the liver enzymes improved by half (they were still 10X the normal amount though), but some of the kidney levels actually got a little worse. The vet was considering Cushings, diabetes, and leptospirosis.
We had an ultrasound. It showed a smaller than normal liver with a few prominent bile ducts and a little thickening around the kidneys, but nothing scary. The leptospirosis test came back negative, but has to be repeated in another couple weeks.
She's been on antibiotics to treat as if she has lepto. She's doing better. She can keep food and water down, and she's not acting sick anymore. She's still drinking and peeing more than usual though.
The thing is, we still don't have a diagnosis! So I don't know if this is an acute illness, or the beginnings of a chronic illness.
Do any of you have dogs with kidney or liver disease? If so, would you share your experience?
Book-lovin', relaxed homeschoolin', dog snugglin' mom of the best kid EVER! AND...waiting for baby #2, due 5/9/14!
One more thing. Our vet recommended a supplement called Sam-e to support liver healing and function. Have you heard of it or used it? There one formulated for pets that also contains milk thistle, and there's also the human grade one (that doesn't have milk thistle in it). For some reason the human one is less expensive (and easier to find) than the dog formula. Do you think it's safe to use that one, or should I buy the dog formula online?
Book-lovin', relaxed homeschoolin', dog snugglin' mom of the best kid EVER! AND...waiting for baby #2, due 5/9/14!
I updated this thread with new information and questions, so I'm just giving it a bump. :)

Why internal server ip address on Local controller is referring to Master controller's ip address?
Environment : This article applies to Aruba Controllers running Master-Local setup.
In a Master-Local setup, any authentication request hitting any Local controllers in a cluster, that needs to be verified against internal server, will always be looked up from Master controller's database, which is a default setup. Due to this reason, IP address for internal server on Local controller would show Master controller's ip address.
Only upon changing internal database to look up from it's own local switch, the ip address for Internal server will start referring as it's own ip address. Henceforth corresponding controller will start validating any incoming authentication request against internal server from it's own database.

Operational Facility Management (DESC9048)
Operational Facility Management is a service industry concerned with the day-to-day operations required to run an organisation's facilities. Primarily facility operation has to satisfy the user organisation's statutory responsibilities. Beyond that, whilst some major costs (such as rates, land taxes, Insurance premiums, etc.) are fixed, other costs are amenable to management. Operational Facility Management necessarily requires those charged with the task to evaluate where their effort is spent and where the significant resourcing costs lie, thus allowing them to prioritise and match their effort to the effect.
This unit will involve considerations of subcontracting and examine 'best practice' guidelines for both hard and soft service provision.

While England's one-day team pray for the rain to stop in the Caribbean, New Zealand, the first of their opponents in their most hectic ever summer of international matches, arrived in London today.
As is their wont, the Kiwis touched down at Heathrow without any great fanfare or media scrum.
But, if they can adapt quickly to English conditions that are now far removed from those they face at home, the New Zealanders can expect to provide England with their toughest competition since last summer's Test series against South Africa.
Stephen Fleming's team will have prepared thoroughly, as usual, for the three-Test tour and can be expected to again be greater than the sum of their parts.
Those parts feature only one batsman in the top 20 of the latest Test rankings (Mark Richardson at 13th) and one bowler in the top 10 (Daryl Tuffey at 10th).
But they are a squad strong in batting (Richardson, Scott Styris, Jacob Oram and Craig McMillan all average over 40 in Tests), possess half a dozen seam bowlers who will relish the early season English wickets, and are superbly marshalled by Fleming, arguably the best of all the international captains.
The ace in the pack is fit-again fast bowler Shane Bond, considered one of the quickest in the world alongside 100mph merchants Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee.
He is returning following a stress fracture in his back which has kept him out of international cricket for 12 months and is not regarded as a certainty for the First Test at Lord's on 20 May.
But such has been the impact Bond, 29, has made in his 10-Test career that he is considered by many judges to be the second-finest bowler to come out of New Zealand (the great Richard Hadlee remains in a class of his own).
"He is an outstanding fast bowler," says Surrey and former New Zealand coach Steve Rixon.
"He is very sharp, very exciting and, if he adjusts to the right length on English wickets, could be very dangerous.
"In my mind, the outcome of the series could hinge on whether he is totally fit."
Few people-are better placed to judge the merits of the current New Zealand squad than Rixon.
He had a highly impressive three-year spell in charge of the Kiwis in the late 1990s, the highlight of which was reaching the 1999 World Cup semi-finals and then beating England 2-1 in a Test series here.
"They have an extremely well-balanced side," says Rixon. "I look at the squad and I don't see too many weaknesses.
"They are well led, they have a top fast bowler in Shane Bond, a quality finger spinner in Daniel Vettori, a tidy wicketkeeper in Brendon McCullum and depth in their batting.
"Everyone contributes down the order with the bat. Vettori has a Test century and two 90s to his name and he normally bats at nine.
"They are a fighting team, they are experienced, well drilled and will be coming here determined to emulate the triumph of '99."
In the latest ICC Test rankings, New Zealand are in fifth position, just two points behind third-placed England.
Asked if the Black Caps will provide a sterner test than the West Indies, who also tour here later in the summer, Rixon laughs.
"There's no comparison," he says. "New Zealand would belt the West Indies. They completely outplayed South Africa recently and Souh Africa are supposed to be the second-best side in the world.
"It will be a good series. If it was played on neutral ground, I would make New
Zealand slight favourites.
"But the fact that England have home advantage and played so well in the West Indies makes it very even.
"I watched a lot of that series in the Caribbean. I thought that was a brilliant performance by England."
Rixon says the New Zealand side will have fond memories of their tour here in 1999, which ended in Nasser Hussain, who had just completed his first series in charge of England, being booed on the Oval balcony.
"I remember sitting up here singing, 'We Are The Champions'," recalls Rixon, as he is perched on the very same balcony.
"That was one of my greatest moments in cricket. I was hugely proud of that side.
"As a coach I always believe there should be some distance from the players. But I still keep in contact with a lot of players from that side.
"I speak to the Cairnses, Flemings, MacMillans and Astles every few weeks. They are a terrific bunch."
...Rixon's lowdown on three other Kiwi dangermen
Chris Cairns
33, all-rounder
Tests 59; Runs 3160; Ave 33.97;
Wickets 206; Average 29.27.
"He is retiring from Test cricket after this series and will be desperate to do well. He is probably not as effective as he was, but he is a match-winner. You don't lose that overnight. On his day, the best allrounder in the world."
Daniel Vettori
25, (left-arm spinner)
Tests 53; Runs 1315; Average 20.54;
Wickets 154; Average 37.80.
"He has had a lean time recently and is overdue a good series. He is a guy who will respond to the give in the wickets over here. He will get some spin and bite. He also has the ability to be a great fielder and an outstanding batsman."
Stephen Fleming
31, (captain and batsman)
Tests 82; Runs 5027; Average 38.08; Catches 121.
"Flem is now arguably the best leader in the game. He is a guy that knows how to get the best out of his players and has a good demeanour on the field. He is also contributing heavily with the bat, which he didn't do in the early days of his captaincy."

New York: Roger Federer posted a huge win in the howling wind, beating two-time champion Andre Agassi 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 in a US Open quarterfinal match suspended on Wednesday because of rain. Playing in gusts up to 62 kph that made the ball sail in silly fashion, the top-seeded Federer yesterday advanced to the Open semifinals for the first time. After an early 45-minute rain delay at the National Tennis Centre, Agassi and Federer took over the court - and the weather took over at Arthur Ashe Stadium. In fact, almost every shot became a 50-50 proposition. One of Federer's lobs got caught in a gust and floated funnily into the sideline seats, and even routine returns curved crazily. Next up for the Wimbledon and Australian Open winner is No 5 Tim Henman of Britain, who defeated No 22 Dominik Hrbaty of Slovakia 6-1, 7-5, 5-7, 6-2. That match also began on Wednesday night and had been stopped in the third set. On the other side of the draw, 2001 Open champion Lleyton Hewitt overwhelmed Tommy Haas of Germany 6-2, 6-2, 6-2. The 23-year-old Federer kept up his bid to become the first man to win three Grand Slam titles in a season since Mats Wilander in 1988. He has lost six of eight matches against Henman. The women's semifinals will be held today with Lindsay Davenport playing Svetlana Kuznetsova while Jennifer Capriati faces Elena Dementieva. (AP)

Pressure Cooker Beef Stew
Recipe by MizzNezz
If you don't have a pressure cooker, this works fine in a dutch oven. Increase the beef broth to 3 cups and cook for 2 hours.
Top Review by Lorac
I had a sudden craving for beef stew and found you pressure cooker recipe. I had all the ingredients on hand but left out the brown sugar and used less potato and more onion and carrots. I loved the bit of mustard flavor. The balsamic vinegar and tomato paste added just the right amount of sweetness to balance the canned tomato and beef flavors. I'm slow and it took 30 mins. prep time but then it only takes 12 mins. to cook! Thank you MizzNezz for another wonderful recipe.

The Cincinnati men's basketball players who were involved in a fight with Xavier on Saturday in a city rivalry game apologized Monday.
Earlier Monday, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph T. Deters announced his office will review the fight to determine if criminal charges are appropriate.
And no decision has been made on whether to continue the crosstown series that has been played every season since 1946, Cincinnati athletic director Whit Babcock said. He said the game could be moved to a neutral site, continue as is with schools taking turns as host or discontinued.
Referees ended the game with 9.4 seconds left when the brawl broke out. Host Xavier won 76-53. Eight players were suspended between the two schools.
CRIMINAL CHARGES?: Prosecutors reviewing brawl
VIDEO: Cincinnati/Xavier brawl
Cincinnati senior forward Yancy Gates became emotional Monday during an unscripted news conference at which the school's suspended players apologized. Gates, freshman Octavius Ellis and junior Cheikh Mbodj were each suspended for six games; freshman Ge'Lawn Guyn for one. Gates' and Mbodj's suspensions included a mandatory one-game suspension imposed by the NCAA for fighting.
Xavier suspended star guard Tu Holloway for one game, freshman Dezmine Wells and sophomore Landen Amos for four games and Mark Lyons for three, including one mandated by the NCAA for fighting. Xavier coach Chris Mack, athletics director Mike Bobinski and Holloway issued apologies Sunday.
"No matter what was going on, I'm the older guy on the team. I've been here the longest," Gates said. "I should have grabbed the freshmen instead of going out there and throwing punches."
Asked to remark on video of the incident, Gates said, "It looked bad. It was bad. That's the only thing that kept going through my mind."
Gates said he feared his career would be over, "never to wear the jersey again."
Gates can be seen on the video landing a punch against Xavier's Kenny Frease. He also hit Amos.
Babcock said he found no road map or precedent in handing out punishment. "No amount of games can take those punches back."
Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said he had just learned of possible criminal charges for players before the news conference began.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Year after year, the Boulder Book Store stands out as a must-stop shop for anyone meandering the Pearl Street Mall. An intriguing layout makes browsers feel like they're in an old library, while the endless selection — books line every wall, table and empty space — could waylay a shopper for hours. There's just something about climbing the shop's steep, creaky stairs to the top floor, rounding a corner and picking out the perfect book from a floor-to-ceiling shelf that no amount of online ordering can match.
A one-stop shop for all-organic personal care, Vert Beauty knows that a happy customer is a conscious one. Opened just a few months ago, the Highland shop has already cornered the market on a long-awaited necessity: all-organic, cruelty-free, responsibly sourced bath and beauty products for men, women and children. From fragrances for the home and body to moisturizers, sunscreens, skin tonics and the latest in makeup trends, Vert carries the same products as a department store, but all from ecologically responsible sources. The staff has decades of combined experience in the cosmetic industry, plus a wealth of knowledge on the latest in sustainable beauty trends, and they're happy to walk customers through new beauty routines. Vert also offers on- and off-site makeovers, makeup tutorials and wedding and special-event consultations.
How best to keep tabs on the inevitable road closures and accidents in winter? You could wade through ads on commercial radio in hopes of catching a traffic update. Or you could whip out your phone and check the Colorado Department of Transportation's Twitter account, where the agency posts regular updates on interstate and surface road closures throughout the business day. @ColoradoDOT is short and to the point, with the latest information on closures and delays caused by various acts of nature (and out-of-state ski-trippers) crammed into 140 characters or less. The best part: Unlike radio, Twitter works in both directions, so the department's social-media managers can (and do) answer questions directed at them. Just make sure to pull over before whipping out your phone: You don't want to be the subject of the next tweet.
In the age of so-called affordable care, we like the idea of checking with a nurse about what the doctor is or isn't telling us. Centura offers one of several nurse hotlines in the area. Unlike Denver Health's round-the-clock operation, the Speak to a Nurse Hotline is available just twelve hours a day, but if you're calling during business hours, you can generally count on the friendly, accessible manner of the knowledgeable staff, who boast an average of 22 years of experience.
Early this year, Denver County Court opened a Civil Self Help Center in the City and County Building, staffed by a bilingual attorney, to assist the beleaguered in navigating the forms and processes for self-representation in small-claims matters, protection orders, evictions and more (but no legal advice allowed). Add to that the self-help centers for probate, domestic relations and juvenile cases, and the do-it-yourself litigant has a good chance of asserting the right to a fair hearing.
You say "po-tay-to," I say "po-tah-to": Do you ever get into this type of spat with your search engine? Now, thanks to the Denver Public Library, there are live librarians at your fingertips, via the library's ASK US! 24-hour chat service. All you need is your computer and questions that need answering, and they'll expertly guide you through the process of finding the answers. More than just a standard homework-helper line, ASK US! is a also gateway to databases not available on the web, shared with one-on-one instruction, any time of day or — you know who are — the middle of the night. Sometimes the human touch really does make Internet research easier.

- Getting Around
Summer Vanpool Incentive
Summer is the perfect time to create a better lifestyle that includes healthier eating, more exercise, and of course, vanpooling. And now, new vanpoolers and their recruiters can cash in during Pierce Transit's Summer Fun Vanpool Rewards! New riders joining (or starting) a vanpool between July 1 and September 1 are eligible, as are the folks who recruit them.
We're able to offer this awesome incentive by requiring 3 months of ridership (fares), and by keeping the rewards a bit lower than in previous years ($40 for new vanpoolers, and $20 for recruiters).
Added bonus: If you work in for a partnering Pierce County employer, be sure to log your trips on PierceTrips.com and check out PierceTrips' Summer Smart Commute Rewards campaign, which runs July 1-31. You could become eligible for more great rewards!
Vanpool Report Deadline
Huge thanks to bookkeepers and riders for working together to get vanpool monthly reports and monies to us sooner, as close to the first of the month as possible. Despite recent staffing reductions, we are still required to meet federal reporting deadlines. We already notice and appreciate your efforts – THANK YOU!
Please continue tracking exact month-end mileage, per your van's odometer reading at the end of the commute on the last day of the month. No estimating, please. We are required to report exact mileage. Thank you all for helping us meet our deadlines and keep on track – you're the best!
Online payment is in full swing and is a great way to ensure your vanpool payment is received on time. With online payment, you can quickly and easily pay out-of-pocket vanpool fares and Narrows Bridge tolls (if applicable). Bookkeepers, feel free to record BOTH online fare payments AND online toll payments in the Online Payment column of the new fare report which you can download from our Forms & Resources page, Bookkeeper Tools section. For example, if a person is paying $100 in fare and $10 in tolls, enter +100+10. The built-in formula will calculate the total of $110, AND if we click on that cell, it will show us how that $110 is broken down.
Remember: All fare and toll payments are due before the first of each month.
New Tolls Cheat Sheet
If you cross the Narrows Bridge during your commute, here are the new toll fees, effective July 1:
- 5-day work week: $85
- 4-day work week: $72.25
- 6-day work week: $106.25
- 7-day work week: $123.25
- 9/80's work week: $80.75
Furloughs and Your Commute
If you are a federal employee and your vanpool group's work schedule will be affected by the upcoming furloughs, please let your Pierce Transit vanpool coordinator know. If everyone in the group no longer has the same work hours, we can help recombine groups if needed to get through the next several months of schedule changes.
Summer Driving(Adapted with permission from Evergreen Safety Council)
Warm weather is here, kids are almost out of school and vacation plans abound! Please be careful out there… accord¬ing to the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, over a five-year period (2006-2010) 40% of motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries occurred during the months of June through September…prime vacation time in the Pacific Northwest. Fifty-four percent of fatalities occurred on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Fortunately, there are many things you can do to reduce your risk and help keep your riders (vanpool and otherwise) safe:
- Make sure your vehicle is in good safe operating condition. Checking such things as lights, windows, mirrors, tires and fluids doesn't take long. Make sure your personal vehicle has an emergency kit, including first aid supplies.
- Plan your trips – be aware of any weather issues, road construction or other potential hazards that you may encounter.
- Be aware of the risks of travelling between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., a time when nearly 40% of fatal crashes occur…due to decreased visibility, DUI drivers and driver drowsiness.
- Always drive defensively. Avoid traveling in other drivers' blind spots, and expect the unexpected from other drivers.
- Scan the road – take in the whole scene- in front, on your side and in your rear, including other vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, signage, and potential road hazards;
- Eliminate distractions – keep your eyes on the road, your hands on the steering wheel and your mind on driving.
- Control your speed (40% of fatal crashes involved speed as a cause). Think about this – if driving from Seattle to Spokane (284 miles) you would save approximately 42 minutes in travel time when your speed is 85 mph versus 70 mph on the highway, and your risk of death increases by approximately eight times. Is saving a few minutes worth the risk?
- Don't Tailgate! In good conditions, with good brakes and tires, a car travelling 65 mph takes approximately 366 feet to stop – that's longer than a football field! Wet pavement increases that to 550 feet (nearly two football fields). In a car, keep at least three seconds distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. In a van, increase following distance to four seconds.
- Use the left lane only for passing.
- Don't use hand gestures.
- Avoid angry drivers – Don't engage them.
Keep a positive attitude and enjoy the journey. Don't become a statistic.
Vanpool Window Clings
You may notice some cool new clings popping up on the backs of PT vanpool vehicles – they are there to advertise our program and remind folks that smart commute options are at their fingertips. If someone inquires about your vanpool as a result of the new cling, please let us know. The clings will be placed on the rear window the next time your van is here for service.
Bikes on Vans
Want to make bicycling a part of your commute? If you'd like to install a bike rack on your van, please go right ahead. You may do so as long as it doesn't require alterations to the van, i.e., screws, bolts, etc. Strap-on racks are the a great solution. The bike rack belongs to whoever purchased it. Questions? Call your Pierce Transit vanpool coordinator.
Bear-Sized Kudos
This story gives a whole new meaning to "a bear of a commute"...
On Thursday, June 27, while driving on Issaquah-Hobart Road around 4:30 p.m., one of our vanpool groups was involved in what we nominate as the strangest vanpool accident ever: A large black bear ran out into the roadway and struck the left front portion of van 7197! The bear then jumped the guard rail along the right side of the road and ran into the woods.
The area the van was traveling is a two-lane 40 mph zone with a narrow shoulder. During commute hours traffic typically flows below the speed limit. Thankfully, the van was traveling only around 25 mph and no one was injured.
Kudos to primary driver Phil Bonderud, who kept his wits about him. He pulled off the roadway when it was safe, and the group worked together to check the condition of the van, take photos, and call Pierce Transit.
This group is a great example of what to do during and after an accident. They:
- Made safety a priority
- Reported the accident immediately
- Thoroughly documented
Way to go, guys!

|Don't mind my one brow hair trying to break out from the line
Finally, one of our new found bargains in a look. Swatches and thoughts can be found here.
I saw some of the comments yesterday about the eyeshadows being a bit of a pain to work with. I did not experience that at all but I think the texture of these shadows will work better together with a rather dry primer. I find the eyeshadows to appear a bit creamy yet they're dry and one really need to press in the pigment and then blend.
Unfortunately this pigment is super hard to capture, hence the shower of pictures!
