Equine Care
Dentistry | Deworming | Vaccinations | Special Procedures | West Nile Virus
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." That saying holds true for horses also. As part of our routine care we provide vaccinations, de-worming, Coggins testing, and dental care. At the time of service we can discuss any issues you may have with your horse including nutritional needs, training programs, geriatric care, etc.
- Time of need care – We offer care for your horse in case of medical colic, sickness, lameness, injury, metabolic problems, or chronic illness. We are equipped to provide intravenous fluids and most laboratory results are obtained within 24 hours.
- Geriatric care – Aged horses can have sub-clinical health care issues that can be identified and treated before they become a problem. If your horse is over 15 years of age we recommend a complete physical examination and blood testing to establish baseline values.
- Surgery – Standing or recumbent surgery of the horse is performed for castration, biopsy and laceration repair. More complicated procedures may be referred to a specialist.
Equine Routine Dentistry
Horses need regular preventive dental maintenance every six months to one year. Unlike people, horses' teeth have an eruption rate of two-three mm per year. The teeth should wear in correspondence to yearly eruption rate. Malocclusions, or improper position of the teeth, can lead to many health issues and behavioral problems.
Identifying dental problems as early as possible is important. There are several factors that come into play at a young age that might increase treatment needed or make a remedy even possible.
Factors include: loss of food while eating; eats hay before his/her grain; grain in water bucket; difficulty chewing or excess salivation; loss of body condition; large undigested food particles in manure larger than one quarter inch; head tilting or tossing; bit chewing; tongue lolling; tries to rear while bridling; fighting the bit or resisting the bridal; bucking or failing to stop or turn; foul odor from the mouth or nostrils; traces of blood in the mouth; or nasal discharge or swelling of the face. Other horses may not show noticeable signs, because they just simply adapt to their discomfort.
Your horse's teeth are one of the most overlooked areas of equine health. Poor tooth condition can cause numerous issues in horses, from general poor condition to serious infections. What makes the equine tooth different from most is that it never quits growing throughout a horse's lifetime. In the wild horses of days gone by, this was a well designed necessity as the average horse then, survived on a diet much different than the average horse of today.
Wild horses eat a diverse mixture of tough grasses, shrubs, bushes, and even trees which consistently wear the ever growing tooth away to an even and natural grinding surface. While on the other hand our domestic horses of today tend to be fed a mix of some grass pasture, highly palatable soft hays or alfalfa, and grains or pellets. So as you can imagine this diet will not keep a horse's teeth ground down to a natural level.
It is highly recommended that you have your horse's mouth examined by a qualified veterinarian at least once yearly. This is a great time to combine an annual health check and routine vaccines. Most horses will need to be sedated for the dental floating (filing down of the sharp hooks and edges on the surface of the tooth) so this is also a great time to do any other procedures that would require sedation.
If left unchecked a horse with teeth that are overgrown can have many different problems or a combination of issues. Here is a brief list of possibilities:
- Poor body condition due to improperly chewed forage which cannot be digested as it should be.
- Mouth pain including the gums, cheeks and tongue caused by sharp hooks and edges.
- Infection of mouth and sinuses.
- Resistance to bridling and carrying a bit.
- Head tossing or tilting.
- Reluctance to eat.
There are a number of things that will alert you to signs of tooth problems, dropping grain when chewing, weight loss, bad smell of breath and many seemingly behavioral issues. Pleases don't wait to see if any of these signs are present, you will do yourself and your equine companion a big favor by getting on a maintenance plan first!
Equine Deworming
There are two methods used for deworming horses. The first method is to administer paste dewormers every 6 to 8 weeks. The second method is to keep the horse on a daily dewormer and paste deworm twice a year.
First Method – Paste Deworming Protocol:
A regular intense deworming schedule for horses not on a continuous program. (i.e. daily Strongid C 2x):
- January: Ivermectin / Praziquantel combination (Equimax)
- March: Oxibendazole (Anthelcide)
- May: Moxidectin (Quest) – Use in horses only. We do not recommend using in miniature horses or ponies. Ivermectin (Equell) – For use in miature horses and ponies
- July: Double dose Pyrantel Pamoate (Strongid)
- September: Ivermectin / Praziquantel combination (Equimax)
- November: Double dose Fenbendazole (Panacur) – This can be repeated for 4 more days if horse is showing signes of small stongyle infestation (poor coat, chronic colic, diarrhea, unthrifty)
NOTE: Remember to read the active ingredient because there are many different brand names available. For example: Fenbeddazole is the active ingredient in Panacur and Safeguard.
Second Method – Daily Deworming Protocol:
Deworm December and June with Ivermectin/Praziquantel combination (Equimax) and keep horse on a daily de-wormer, Pyrantel Pamoate (Strongid 2 x). If you choose this protocol, we recommend enrolling in the Preventicare Program offered by Pfizer.
NOTE: Before starting the continuous deworming program, it is recommended to deworm with Equimax, Quest or a Panacur Power Pac so your horse starts the program parasite free.
Equine Special Prodedures
- Ultrasonography – The use of sound waves to evaluate soft tissues like tendons and ligaments, reproductive organs, lumps, and tumors. It is painless and non-invasive.
- Endoscopy – The utilization of a fiber optic device for evaluating the upper airway of the horse including the larynx, sinuses, and guttural pouches. The trachea and upper esophagus can also be examined with this flexible device. The endoscopy is useful in pre-purchase examinations, pneumonias, or reactive airway disease.
- Acupuncture – An ancient Chinese practice that utilizes needles to stimulate nerve pathways to heal many problems.
- Tonometry – A procedure that measures the intraocular pressure of the eyeball and is useful in detecting glaucoma and uveitis.
- Therapeutic Laser – Our laser is an effective way to decrease healing time that also minimizes scarring.
Equine Vaccinations
Vaccines are preparations of killed microorganisms, living weakened microorganisms, etc. introduced into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease by causing the formation of antibodies.
Vaccines are very delicate compounds, which if handled or administered incorrectly will be ineffective or neutralized.
Vaccines are administered initially as a two-shot series and then annually or semiannually.
- Vaccine Protocols: The vaccines and vaccine protocols listed below are tailored to our practice and geographic location and follow the guidelines of the AAEP.
- Eastern & Western Encephalomyelitis: Encephalomyelitis is caused by a virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. The virus causes inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. The vaccine is very effective against the disease. We recommend administrating the vaccine at least once per year.
- Tetanus Toxoid: Tetanus is a disease caused by a specific toxin of a bacillus (Clostridium tetani) which usually enters the body through wounds. It is characterized by spasmodic contractions and rigidity of some or all of the voluntary muscles (especially of the jaw, face and neck). The bacteria are found in horse manure. The vaccine is very effective and administered once yearly. The vaccine is boostered in case of laceration, surgery, or penetrating wounds.
- Rabies: Rabies is a viral disease that infects the nervous system of mammals. It is transmitted through contact with the saliva of infected animals. It is 100% fatal. This vaccine is given to horses with an increase in possible rabies exposure.
- West Nile Virus: West Nile virus is transmitted by mosquitoes. The virus causes inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. We recommend that all horses remain current on West Nile Virus Vaccine with at least one booster in late spring, or twice annually. In 2008, there was a dramatic increase in the prevalence (38 confirmed cases) in our Washington State horse population and in 2009 Washington State leads the country in equine West-Nile cases reported.
- Rhinopneumonitis: Rhinopneumonitis is a herpes virus which causes respiratory infections, abortions, and inflammation of the spinal cord. The vaccine is not 100% effective and the protection only lasts 10-12 weeks. Pregnant mares should be vaccinated at 3, 5, 7, and 9 months from the breeding date. Horses that are traveling to shows, races, sales, etc. should be vaccinated every 3 months. Pleasure horses that do not travel should be vaccinated twice a year. The vaccine does not protect against the neurologic form of the disease.
- Influenza: Influenza is a virus that causes high fever and respiratory infection. The vaccine is not 100% effective, and the protection lasts only 10-12 weeks. Horses traveling to shows, sales, racing events, etc. should be vaccinated every 3 months. Horses that do not travel should be vaccinated at least twice a year.
- Potomac Horse Fever (PHF): Potomac Horse Fever is caused by the parasite Ehrlichia risticii. Horses are infected through small land snails that carry the parasite. It is not contagious and occurs more commonly in wet areas. The disease causes high fever, laminitis, and severe diarrhea. The vaccine is fairly effective and is administered once a year. As of right now, this has not been diagnosed in the Skagit Valley and is not recommended. It is administered 2 to 4 times yearly in problem areas.
- Strangles: Strangles is a bacterial disease caused by Streptococcus equi. It is highly contagious and causes the following signs: high fever, abscessed lymph nodes, and respiratory infection. Horses may develop guttural pouch infections, sinus infections, purpura hemorrhagica, laryngeal paralysis, and bastard strangles. There is an intranasal vaccine which is more effective than the intramuscular vaccine. The vaccine is given once a year except in endemic barns (that have frequent outbreaks) where semiannual vaccination is recommended.
West Nile Virus
West Nile Virus (WNV) causes encephalitis in birds, horses, and humans. The virus is transmitted from infected birds by mosquitoes. Humans and horses appear to be especially susceptible. Studies done by the U.S. Department of Agriculture show that infected horses will not transmit WNV to other horses or to people. However care should be taken when handling blood from suspect animals. Symptoms of disease caused by WNV may include the following:
- Flu-like signs (fever and depression)
- Skin twitching – especially around the muzzle.
- Hypersensitivity to touch and sound
- Driving or pushing forward without control
- Incoordination
Because permanent neurological problems and death can occur, early recognition and initiation of treatment is important. No specific treatment protocol exists, however most cases will resolve with supportive therapy and anti-inflammatories.
Efforts to prevent disease in horses caused by WNV are through the use of the West Nile Vaccine from Fort Dodge Pharmaceuticals and through actions that will reduce exposure to mosquitoes. The vaccine is safe and appears to be effective. AAEP vaccination guidelines recommend vaccinating twice a year in some parts of the country.
The most effective way to limit the mosquito population is to destroy the mosquito larval habitat. This is done by reducing the amount of standing water. Water troughs should be cleaned at least once a week. Keeping weeds trimmed and lawn mowed help eliminate areas where mosquitoes rest. Directly protecting horses from mosquito bites is more difficult. Fly and mosquito repellents may be helpful. Products containing pyrethroids are considered safe for horses. Spray stalls, aisle walls and other areas such as under shade trees where horses congregate. Fans can also be used to discourage mosquitoes from residing in your barn.

A. You don't actually move the GC between servers. Instead, you simply enable the GC on a new server, then disable the current GC. I explained how to configure a new server as a GC in the FAQ "How do I configure a server as a Global Catalog?".
Keep in mind that if you already have one GC in the domain, you won't want to disable that GC until after your new one has received all the existing GC content. You can check this progress by using Event Viewer to view the Directory Services log. Specifically, you'll want to look for event ID 1119, as this figure shows, which tells you that the new server is now advertising itself as a GC server. Before event ID 1119 appears, you should see event ID 1110, which is the new server advising you of a delay (typically 5 minutes) before the new server will start advertising.
In summary, enabling a new GC is a three-step process:
- Enable the GC on the new server (open the Microsoft Management Console--MMC--Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in, navigate to Sites, select the name of the site that will contain the new GC server, navigate to Servers, select and expand the name of the new GC server, right-click NTDS Settings in the left-hand pane, select Properties, then select the Global Catalog check box).
- Wait until event ID 1119 appears in the new GC Directory Services event log.
- Disable the GC on the old server (in the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in, navigate to Sites, select the name of the site containing the old GC server, select and expand the name of the old GC server, right-click NTDS Settings in the left-hand pane, select Properties, then clear the Global Catalog check box).
If you add or remove GCs and you use Exchange Server, you must reboot the Exchange servers to let them update the DSAccess topology report and begin using the new GCs--otherwise Exchange won't discover the GCs and use them for DSAccess. To create its AD topology view, DSAccess
- calls the Directory Service (DS) Locator service
- retrieves a list of all DCs and GCs from the local AD site
- contacts each server in the list
- caches as many as 10 active DCs and 10 active GCs
- reorders the active-GC list so that domain-local GCs are at the top of the list
- uses the cached DC and GC server list on a simple round-robin basis for global information lookups.

Breed: Shoyru
About _Auroraflare_:
The room is completely silent. A warm breeze blows in through the window, ruffling the lace at the edges of the pillows; toys and pieces from games litter the soft carpet on the floor. Faerie plushies and usukis are layered on a dresser, a proud display that is now full of gaps after a day of stories and adventures. Looking at the way the toys are scattered, one can almost deduce the events that took place in here today. Three dolls on a gray sheet of paper tell the story of how Illusen and Jhudora teamed up to defeat the evil Xandra in an epic battle on Kreludor; Judge Hog turned out to have an equally-powerful long-lost sister (who seems to look just like him, with the addition of lipstick); and, judging by a set-up in a dollhouse nearby, the Happiness Faerie finally realized his true feelings for Rosie the Grarrl. But the profound dramas and changes in the course of Neopian history have wound down for the day, and now there is only the breeze, the swaying lace... and a conspicuous yellow blanket, bundled on the floor.
Then footsteps come padding down the hall, and a glossy camouflage Zafara pokes his head around the door frame. His big eyes scan the pink-and-purple room from floor to ceiling.
"'Flare? Where are you?" He waits a moment, listening. Then he sighs. "Oh, come on."
The blanket giggles. Comet seizes the edge of it and tugs.
"It's time to go. We were heading for the coffee shop, remember?"
The blanket yanks itself from his hand, bunching up underneath a now obviously Shoyru-shaped wad.
"Shhhh. I'm an omelette."
"'Flare - "
"Omelettes don't talk," she snaps.
Comet hesitates. He knows from experience that his tiny sister - who, today, is apparently an omelette - does not respond well to barked orders. He was only asked to get her out of bed and onto the front walk, and he considers his options; the easiest route there might be to simply punt her out the window.
Then he feels a small nudge against his foot, and looks down to see a Snowbunny repeatedly shoving its face into him; it looks up expectantly. It doesn't see how loony his sister is, how frustrating it can be to get her to listen for a few measly seconds - it just knows he's bugging its owner. He considers punting it, too. It's perfectly football-shaped, after all, would probably fly pretty well -
Focus. He stares at the yellow "omelette" for a second; if he tries to coax her out with the promise of the butterscotch milkshake she's been begging for all afternoon, she'll insist that omelettes don't drink milkshakes. If he tells her to get up and quit fooling around, she'll just become more and more stubborn.
Sometimes, he decides, you have to swim with the current.
"Hey, 'Flare, omelette's gone."
There is a moment of silence, then a pink snout appears from under the blanket.
"The giant omelette. It's gone. Ran out. Won't be back for another couple hours." More silence. The rest of her face appears, ringed with yellow blanket. Her blue eyes blink as she ponders this twist of fate. Without the omelette, some other make-believe concept has to rush to fill the gap. Maybe she'll decide to be an usuki, or Lady Frostbite. Or at least Doctor Sloth, who - for all his evil deeds - still has the presence of mind to get up and go for a butterscotch milkshake once in a while.
Just as long as she doesn't decide she's a codestone again. Last time she did that, she just sat on the floor and wiggled for forty-five minutes.

Blogday aftermoonTuesday, February 10th, 2009
Last year I forgot to mention it and now, this year, it passed by again and I've only just realised, sigh. Senility is a sad affliction, no? This here blog is now six years old. In dog years that would be middle aged, settling down with a chewy slipper having sired several scampering pups and now firmly ensconced under the G Plan coffee table of an evening with all the walkies you could ever want. In blog years I believe it may almost qualify as antique or should that be 'etique' (var: e-tique)? [and can I just point out that I've just invented that word and defined it in Urban Dictionary and I am the inventor OK? ]. I also thought up 'crustware' at the same time, which I sort of prefer. So maybe this blog is now a piece of crustware. If so that probably makes me the crustmaster; which sounds vaguely kinky. Same as it ever was…
After a hard fought competition which attracted no entries from anywhere. The Bignjuicy judging panel have decided to commission Marcus O'Walletfilla to construct an eighty foot high fibreglass gerbil in honour of my sixth anniversary. This colossal rodent will stride masterfully, legs akimbo, across the urban landscape of Bignjuicyville. Visible from space ( and also Molesey ) it will symbolise the rich heritage I've bequeathed to my home town and remind all who pass this way that death is only a falling fibreglass claw away.

Weimer wins and Villopoto podiums
January 21, 2010
Weimer won for the second straight week in the supercross lites class. In the supercross class,
Villopoto won his heat race and returned to the podium in the main event where he finished second.
Weimer's race didn't start the way he wanted, but a late race charge moved him from a podium position to the top of the box. In the final four laps, Weimer moved from third to first to secure his second win of the season.
"At the beginning of the race I was excited and got my heart rate really high," said Weimer. "I was missing my lines and it was a tough track. Once Morais got by me, I just tucked in on his rear fender and we both got up to Wharton. At one point I thought maybe I could get second, and as the race progressed I started hitting good lines and I knew I could get the win."
Coming off a fifth place finish in Anaheim, Villopoto was ready to get back on the podium. After posting the fifth fastest time in practice, the Washington native won his heat race and then got a good start and rode a steady race to finish second.
"It feels good to get back on the podium," said Villopoto. "It hasn't been a lot of races for me, but it has been a long time after not racing this summer. I didn't get the result I wanted at Anaheim, but now that we got on the podium, we want to stay there. The Phoenix track is normally slippery. I knew I just had to be consistent with my lap times. I'm happy with how I rode today. I would make up a lot of time in the whoop section. It was a good night. I lost my energy just a little bit and I'll be back into racing shape as the season moves forward. I know I'm not very far off."
After practice and his heat race, Reed was poised to return to the podium, but a crash in the main event sent him to the medical center with a broken hand. Reed was mired in the pack and looking to move up when he got together with James Stewart.
"I went in on the inside and James was on the outside," said Reed. "He turned down really quick to pass a couple of guys and I had nowhere to go. We collided and went down and that's when I broke my hand.
This season has been difficult. It is hard to put into words how I feel. My personal life is great right now, I'm so happy. I'm about to be a dad. My professional life is a struggle right now finishing 19th the last two races. I've never been in this position before, but I want to get to 100% healthy and come back strong."
At Phoenix, Hansen showed he had the speed to win, setting the fastest lap time in practice, winning his heat race and even grabbing the holeshot in the main event. A small mistake sent him crashing off the track.
"I tripled into the first rhythm section and came up short," said Hansen. "A couple of guys came up on me, but I was still in the lead. I just tucked the front wheel and it jabbed me in the stomach and flipped me over the bars. That was pretty much the end of my race. I still went out and did some laps, but my race was over on the first lap. I was fastest in practice and I won my heat race. I think I should have won the main, so I was kind of bummed out. I did have a good day today; the main just didn't go my way."

For the past two weeks, Beja airbase in Portugal was the scene of multi national exercise European Air Transport Training (EATT15), organized by European Defence Agency (EDA) and European Air Transport Command (EATC). In other words: C-27J Spartan and C-130 Hercules galore in Portugal. This is Red Flag for the big guys.
Taking part in EATT15 were Portugal, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Romania, Sweden and the UK, as well as observer countries Brazil, the United States and Poland. Next to C-27Js and C-130s, also present at Beja were Airbus C295s and C-160 Transall aircraft. In total, 20 transport aircraft and 2,500 military personnel were involved, not counting in three Portuguese Air Force F-16s and a sole P-3C Orion.
The EATT15 aims to train and prepare the crews of tactical airlift squadrons in order to guarantee their readiness for all kinds of operations within the European alliance. The concept of the exercise is to "provide joint training and ensure interoperability among the participating forces", said Lt. Col. Laurent Donnet, overseeing EATT15 on behalf of the Belgian Air Component.
During the exercise, crews trained for various scenarios, such as operations to and from unprepared air strips, Combat Search And Rescue (CSAR), extraction of military and non-military elements, medical evacuations, plus air support in an urban environment and emergency situations.
During EATT15, crews used the Airdrop Joint Precision System (JPADS), a US military airdrop system using GPS, an onboard computer and steerable parachutes to direct cargo to a designated impact point.
EATT15 was also about efficient use of logistics, tooling and spare parts. The proximity of similar aircraft types and their crews allowed for standardization of procedures, exchange of know-how as well as the fostering of a spirit of unity. This spirit is embraced by European Air Transport Command (EATC), the institution directing and overseeing operations of hundreds of European military transport and tanker aircraft. The latter had their own exercise earlier this year.

Netflix probed over Facebook post
Netflix is facing scrutiny from US government regulators for a Facebook post by its chief executive in July that may have boosted the online video company's stock price.
Neflix said that the Securities and Exchange Commission informed it that there has been a recommendation that civil action be brought against the company and it's chief executive Reed Hastings after Hastings posted on July 3 that Netflix's online video viewing "exceeded 1 billion hours for the first time ever in June".
The SEC says posting on Facebook does not amount to fair public disclosure of information that is material to investors.
Shares in Netflix, which is based in Los Gatos, California, rose more than 6 percent on the day of Hastings' Facebook post. On the first day of trading following the July 4 holiday, its shares rose another 13 percent.
Hastings has used Facebook again to comment on the investigation, which he called a "fascinating social media story". He argued that the information was not material to the stock price, had been disclosed and reported on earlier and that because he had 200,000 followers at the time, it was widely disseminated.
Hastings has been on the board of directors of Facebook since June 2011 and as of November 14 owned 72,639 Facebook shares.
"We think posting to over 200,000 people is very public, especially because many of my subscribers are reporters and bloggers," he said in his post.
The SEC says Hastings' July post contained material investor information that must be disclosed in a regulatory filing or news release. But Hastings said similar information was disclosed on the company blog in June.
On June 4, the blog states that Netflix's online customers were "enjoying nearly a billion hours per month" of streaming video. That announcement was also not put in a press release or an SEC filing.

"Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have." – Margaret Mead
The world is hurting, again.
Yesterday was exceptionally busy – even for a Monday. When the workday finally came to a close, I jumped into my car looking forward to a peaceful night at home. But before leaving the office parking lot, I heard the news.
Another shooting.
This time in Washington D.C.
This time 13 dead.
This time all over, again.
Listening to the news was another reminder that we aren't safe anywhere – not where we watch a movie; not where we send our children to school and not where we work.
The world is hurting, again.
We can choose to add to the pain; we can choose to ignore it; or we can chose to do something about.
I choose to do something about it. I won't be held hostage by fear.
I choose to be good for the world. And through my words and actions, I will show everyone who crosses my path that the world can be a place of peace.
If you want to walk the same path with me, here are a few things we can do together to be good for the world.
And if we do, maybe a little of the pain can be replaced with love.
– Show kindness.
– When someone asks for your love – give it.
– Talk less and listen more.
– Practice the art of patience every day.
– Accept everyone for who they are; reject no one for who they are.
– Leave an unexpected note of love, encouragement or appreciation.
– Say, "thank you."
– When someone needs you, give your attention right away; don't wait.
– Honor boundaries and expect your boundaries to be honored, too.
– Help your neighbors through their weeds.
– Let your partner know you believe in her.
– Let your partner know you respect him.
– Don't use your words as a weapon.
– Show your children how to smile, relax and enjoy life.
– Never do anything you wouldn't want your partner to know.
– Keep your word.
– Be fully present when in the presence of others.
– Share your wisdom when asked.
– Create a safe place for your family to live.
– Let go of grudges and live with a forgiving heart.
– Show respect to everyone you encounter.
– Give your shoulder for someone to grasp so they can take a leap of faith.
– Find ways to serve every day.
– Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
– Let your corner of the world see the goodness in you.

|Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) have been implicated in a wide array of human malignancies, including medulloblastoma (MB), the most common brain tumor of childhood. Although significant progress in MB biology and therapeutics has been achieved during the past decades, MB remains a horrible challenge to the physicians and researchers. Therefore, novel inhibitors targeting PDGFR signaling pathway may offer great promise for the treatment of MB. In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxicity and mechanisms of cambogin in Daoy MB cells. Our results show that cambogin triggers significant S phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis via down regulation of cyclin A and E, and activation of caspases. More importantly, further mechanistic studies demonstrated that cambogin inhibits PDGFR signaling in Daoy and genetically defined mouse embryo fibroblast (MEF) cell lines. These results suggest that cambogin is preferentially cytotoxic to cells expressing PDGFR. Our findings may provide a novel approach by targeting PDGFR signaling against MB.

Top-ranked Virginia wins ITA Indoor Championship against No. 2 USC 4-2
SEATTLE -- Top-ranked Virginia won its fifth ITA National Team Indoor Championship in six years with a 4-2 victory against second-ranked USC in Monday's final at the Nordstrom Tennis Center. The Cavaliers (6-0) won the doubles point and used consecutive set victories at the top three singles positions to deny the Trojans their second title in a row.
"I am so proud of this team and what they accomplished this week," head coach Brian Boland said. "During the last two matches, there were times where we kind of had our backs against the wall and we handled the adversity well. Every guy played a role and stepped up when the team needed them. This is another stepping stone for our program, to win another National Indoor Championship. We now have to get ready for the outdoor season and continue to get better to accomplish the goals this team has for itself."
The Cavaliers needed just 40 minutes to win the doubles point and take a 1-0 lead in the match. Alex Domijan and Mitchell Frank topped Eric Johnson and Emilio Gomez 8-4 at the No. 3 position. A minute later, Julen Uriguen and Justin Shane clinched the point with their 8-3 win at No. 2 against Max de Vroome and Roberto Quiroz.
In singles, the Cavaliers and Trojans split the six first sets, each winning three. Virginia's lead doubled as Domijan won his fourth match of the tournament at No. 2, his third against a top-15 opponent, topping No. 10 Gomez 6-3, 6-2. USC cut the lead in half at No. 6 where Johnson downed Justin Shane 7-5, 6-4. Jarmere Jenkins increased the lead to 3-1 with his 6-2, 6-4 win at No. 1 against Ray Sarmiento. The Trojans closed the gap to 3-2 with de Vroome topping Ryan Shane 7-6(4), 6-3 at No. 5 singles.
In the third match Virginia won the first set, at No. 3, Frank was serving at 6-3, 5-5 against Quiroz. He fought off two break points against him before holding for 6-5. In the next game he broke Quiroz at love to clinch the championship for Virginia.
"I looked up at the scoreboard and I saw we were up 3-1 and I figured it was going to come down to me," Frank said. "I was calm in the moment and just wanted to play my game. When I was able to save the break points and hold for 6-5, it gave me some momentum. I had been in a bunch of his service games all day and I was able to get some returns in play. I had been passing well all day and on three of those points he came in and I was able to pass him for winners. It was just a great feeling to get the win for the team."
It marked the third time Virginia and USC had met in the final of a national tournament. The Trojans downed the Cavaliers in the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Finals. Even though the teams had met in each of the last four years in the NCAA tournament, Monday's match was the first meeting at ITA National Team Indoors.
"Playing USC is always a challenge," Boland said. "They have a great program and we have so much for respect for them. We have had a lot of great battles with them in the past, and [Monday] was no exception, and we know that there will be more to come in the future. We look forward to it because the high level of our matches is why college tennis is so great."
Virginia won an unprecedented four consecutive ITA National Team Indoor Championships from 2008 to 2011, including winning the title in Seattle in 2008 and 2011. The Cavaliers' five overall NTI championships ranks third in ITA history, behind Stanford (12) and UCLA (7).

Well actually, in PZL you control a glowing blue orb that starts at the base of the puzzle tower. Each level of the tower can be rotated so you can move the blue orb up till you reach the end of the level – and eventually the top of the tower. Along the way you'll discover tunnels through the puzzle, prizes, and monsters to evade.
The Journey.
So how did a game that started out looking like this:
|Ludum Dare 26 – PuzzleCube
Get to this?
First of all, porting to an iOS mobile device when you start out with a Windows build isn't a walk in the park. In Windows your render loop is probably some endless while loop or frame listener. On iOS you have an Objective C app that sets up a CADisplayLink callback on a frame interval. The callback then manually instructs Ogre to renderOneFrame. Then there's the matter of getting input from the keyboard, touch input, outputting audio, not to mention any kind of networking or saving to disk you might need – ouch!
Let's talk bout some of those –
I used the OgreDemoApp/OgreFramework for iOS as a base so I had to refactor my initialization code so it worked with the OgreFramework. I had to pass down some things like the scene manager, camera and window handle to my main game class. I also decided to make my Game class a singleton mainly referenced through the OgreFramework so I could easily pass down frame render events and input events from OIS, but I probably could have architected it all differently and merged my main game class with the OgreDemoApp class. The downside of merging would have been that I would have a lot more code in that merged class that wouldn't get used on say the Windows version.
Also, I had to remove all the OgreBites tray code and the majority of the camera manipulation so my game could control it instead.
Things got a bit hairy when I needed to expose some things to C++ code that were only available in Objective C, namely audio, keyboard input and session data (stored in NSUserDefaults).
I chose to use the SimpleAudioEngine for audio which comes from CocosDenshion (Cocos2D also uses this). It's a really simple audio player that easily handles background and event audio. So how do you access an Objective C class from inside game code which is written in C++?
What I did was create a GameAudio Objective C class:
The implementation file for GameAudio (named GameAudio.mm) has my functions that call the SimpleAudioEngine class like so:
To call those GameAudio functions from C++ I provide another header file called GameAudioInterface.h with headers for the functions in GameAudio.mm
Keyboard Input
WARNING HAX. I created a GameKeyboard Objective C class with an invisible UITextField added to the main UIWindow.
Inside the implementation file I provided functions to show/hide the keyboard and called functions in my main game code when a key was pressed. Because the game code used OIS I had to map every character to the OIS equivalent. YUCK.
Lastly, I exposed the keyboard show/hide functions in a header included in the C++ game code called
Other Objective-C Stuff n' Thangs
OK besides audio and keyboard libraries I used NSUserDefaults to save some basic settings and the excellent Scoreoid API for saving player scores. For those who are unaware, Scoreoid lets you save scores for free using their platform agnostic API so this means if I port the game to Android I can access the same score data in the future.
Lastly, I implemented the Chartboost SDK to serve ads.
Technology Used
Graphics Engine: Ogre3D
GUI: Gorilla
Input: OIS
Audio: SimpleAudioEngine (CocosDenshion)
Scores: Scoreoid
Animation: CppTweener
Network: AFNetworking
That pretty much about sums things up as far as the development goes. I do plan on adding some more gameplay elements in the future if the game has enough of an audience to warrant updates.

Thanks and enjoy!

Here is the best bang for your buck for the supercharged cars. You get the most HP vs. dollars spend!
Our supercharger pulleys are machined to a 15% reduction of the original pulley on your MINI's supercharger. It is widely accepted that 15% is a safe size reduction on this particular supercharger. Our pulleys will neither eat or throw your belt, so you can be confident it will last the life of your car. This pulley is self centering and is made so you will not get any excessive belt noise.
Note: To use this pulley correctly, you will need a shorter belt and colder heat rang plugs. See our pulley kit for the full package. Got any questions? Give us a call!
Note: We recommend a professional install for this part. You will need a pulley puller and a belt tensioner tool, as well as a few other tools (like 2 jacks) to do this job. But we rent the tools here on our web site should you want to do it on your own.
Posted by Joe on 29th Mar 2015
Best bang for the buck mod possible on a R53. Came packaged in a nice Craven Speed box with all required hardware. Nice Detroit Tuned logo and 15% engraved on the front, excellent machining. Very solid feel in the hand and very easy to install in a few hours. My best advice is to stop reading, place order, and get busy wrenching!

In the interest of helping out those being hampered by AT&T's current non-Market app lockout here are instructions, courtesy of XDA developers forums, on how to get around the problem. This solution could be of considerable interest if AT&T really sticks to their current path as they release more compelling Android devices down the line.
- Download the USB drivers from Motorola; there is a separate version depending on whether you are running Windows 32bit or 64bit.
- Now you are going to need to download the Android SDK from Google. The most recent version can always be found here.
- Now extract the SDK to a folder, name it Android, FUAT&T, Guadalajara, or whatever.
- On your phone go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and check the box to enable USB debugging.
- Now take the .apk file (that's the extension for apps) that you want to install and place it in the "tools" folder within the Android SDK folder you created.
- Time to bust out the old command prompt (or terminal). You will need to navigate to the "tools" folder and type in "adb install application.apk" (without quotes and replacing application with the actual name of the app).
- Congratulations on all your success!
Keep in mind this won't let you install apps that aren't supported by Android 1.5. If you have any difficulties you might want to check out the XDA forums link at the beginning of the post as there are several pages there of individuals posting their experiences with the workaround.

As home sales increase, the spring is looking like a period of recovery for the real estate industry. After five years of decline, the spring of 2012 looks promising. The first quarter showed significant, although not gigantic, improvement. Real estate professionals and those wanting to sell a house are hopeful.
The housing market has seen unbelievably low listing prices, foreclosures at an unprecedented rate and short sales. The reduced values on homes caused many homeowners to sell for less than they needed to pay off the mortgage. Those who lost homes to foreclosure needed places to live. As a result, rents have increased on average.
The record-low interest rates on mortgages are encouraging potential buyers to take this opportunity to find a house. However, banks are no longer freely stamping "approved" on the mortgage applications. Trends have reversed and only those with excellent credit and a 20 percent down payment are easily approved.
In the meantime, open houses are seeing larger crowds and investors, both domestic and foreign, are purchasing the foreclosed on houses at bargain-basement prices. It is unlikely that listing prices will drop further. It might be an impetus to buy now, considering the interest rates could move upward at any time.
Economists think that there is reason to expect prices to begin to go up. Fear of losing out might encourage a significant number of buyers to act now.
In Miami, prices are rising on condos. They were down to $214,000 and are now at $270,900 on average. The sale price on other residential property rose about 14 percent. The other cities in Florida have not seen that kind of progress. The foreclosures there may keep prices on other homes low for some time to come.
One leading realtor in California noted a 35 percent increase in sales over the same time period in 2011. However, limited recovery is happening in suburban Las Vegas, Central California or Atlanta, Georgia. Other areas such as Cleveland, sees the prices continuing to drop. In the meantime, Boston is beginning to note a high degree of recovery. It isn't realistic to expect a full recovery, but the economy is definitely improving.

In re Chiquita Brands: Final Judgment Entered in Derivative Shareholder Action
We have been following the Alien Tort Action and Derivative Shareholder Action brought against Chiquita Brands International ("Chiquita") since August 2007. In an earlier post, we reported the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida had preliminarily approved a settlement order pertaining to the Derivative Action pending a Settlement Hearing. On October 15, the court, having found that Chiquita provided adequate notice as stipulated in the proposed settlement agreement, entered a final judgment and order of dismissal for the derivative action.
The final judgment and order of dismissal includes the following provisions:
- The court approves the settlement agreement's stipulations
- Chiquita and its shareholders are released from the derivative action's claims
- All claims in the derivative action are dismissed with prejudice
- The court retains continuing jurisdiction over the parties to implement and enforce the settlement agreement.
In a separate order, the court awarded $4,000,000 to plaintiffs' counsel for attorneys' fees and expenses. The court considered the factors set forth in Johnson v. Ga. Highway Express, Inc., including time, labor, difficulty of questions raised, experience, and fees awarded in similar cases to conclude that $4,000,000 was appropriate. There were no objections by any of the 42,000 Chiquita shareholders that received a copy of the settlement agreement to the request for $4,000,000 in attorneys' fees.

The first most important reason a person should get laser teeth whitening techniques is given it will remove stains which built up over the years and months. These stains could be from almost anything, however in particular sugary foods such as pick and mix, caffeine from drinks such as coffee and Red Bull and alcohol such as red wine and brandy.
Stay away from coffee and cigarettes, and dark dinner. Each of these can darken your teeth. Use a straw to drink it and make your teeth covered along with your lips should you cannot avoid coffee or tea. Also, brush immediately following drinking these beverages. These beverages, along with tobacco, are the main culprits when it comes to teeth yellowing. you may be interested in teeth whitening training.

The preliminary steps resemble bleaching because they something is applied to protect your teeth. A blue seal is used. The peroxide based gel is applied to your teeth but a tray is suggestive . What happens then is your mouth is held open with a cheek detractor and a laser can to make the pathway. The end result is teeth which usually are six to eight times whiter than before. On your take put in less than an hour and may be the preferred choice those who afford.

Value of Platinum Chromium (PtCr) Stents
Interventional Cardiologists Agree
It's no surprise that 95 percent of Interventional Cardiologists identified PtCr stents as the most visible under angiography1. Enhanced visibility can impact device usage, procedure times and radiation exposure in the cath lab. But what could this mean for your bottom line? See Results
Get More Economic Value
Survey Methodology
The Results
For an average hospital, this means that PtCr could save over $133,000 per year due to increased visibility2.
Procedure Times
The group collectively believed that a more visible stent could lead to reduced procedure times, resulting in potential savings of $162,5003, 4.
Radiation Exposure
Exposure is an important issue in today's cath lab. Physicians in this survey believed that stent visibility could reduce cath lab staff and patient exposure to radiation, resulting in a potential reduction of over 25 hours per year5.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 08, 2013
The Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication (SHAPE) (http://www.shapesociety.org), a nonprofit organization that promotes public awareness and early detection of heart attacks and stroke, is excited to introduce the Valentie™ , a fashionable red tie with a stylistic heart motif that is indicative of SHAPE's healthy heart mission.
Dr. Morteza Naghavi, the organization's founder said, "We are most pleased to launch our new Valentie™ in conjunction with both Valentine's Day and American Heart Month. It's our aim that all those who wear it become aware of the risks of cardiovascular disease and the need to know their plaque score."
SHAPE's work to increase public awareness of how to prevent heart attacks and stroke by knowing their plaque score is growing as a result of efforts like the Valentie™. It symbolizes the fight to eradicate heart disease and champions the quest for a cure.
Proceeds from the sale of the Valentie™ go to support SHAPE's efforts to launch its outreach program to bring free cardiovascular screening to the community, especially to those who have no indications of arterial blockages that could cause a sudden cardiac or stroke event.
The Valentie™ can be purchased at http://shapesociety.org/valentie
About SHAPE:
The Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication (SHAPE) is a tax-exempt organization dedicated to promoting public awareness of the risk of cardiovascular disease as well as early detection, prevention and treatment of arterial plaque, the most frequent cause of heart attacks and stroke. SHAPE is committed to fostering the use of noninvasive, cost effective screening protocols that detect potential cardiovascular problems in asymptomatic populations. Additional information is available at http://www.shapesociety.org or call 713-529-4484.

Otolaryngology is a specialty devoted to the evaluation and treatment of ear, nose and throat (ENT) disorders as well as head and neck, hearing and communication problems. We understand how ENT conditions can affect hearing, learning, speech and sleep and impact development. Our teams provide care that takes your whole child, not just the condition, into account.
ENT conditions in children can range from recurring ear infections and enlarged tonsils, to sinus diseases or a complex craniofacial anomaly (irregular or abnormal growth of head and facial bones). Nemours ear, nose and throat doctors, called otolaryngologists, are board-certified ENT surgeons who are highly trained in the latest minimally invasive and endoscopic surgery techniques.
The most common procedures our surgeons perform include:
- tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils)
- adenoidectomy (removal of the adenoidal tissue)
- myringotomy with tube placement (removal of fluid from the middle ear and insertion of ear tubes)
Nemours surgeons are also skilled in advanced reconstructive techniques and often work with other specialists to try to combine one or more surgeries during a single hospitalization, which helps reduce the number of times your child needs to receive anesthesia.

When you bring your child to see an ENT specialist at Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Lake Mary, you can expect exceptional care. Our physicians provide comprehensive pediatric otolaryngology evaluation and treatment for problems affecting the ears, nose, throat, and sinuses. Our team can provide routine ENT care and many kinds of exams, tests and procedures onsite at the Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Lake Mary, including audiology services. (For some special ENT programs or testing, your child may need to visit our downtown location, Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Orlando.) Please call for an appointment and to find out about scheduled days and available testing.
For our ENT team, it's all about the kids and we do all we can to help put your child at ease.
Provide Specialized ENT Care for Children
Every Nemours pediatric otolaryngologist has extensive training and experience in treating wide range of ENT conditions in children and performing common procedures such as:
- tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils)
- adenoidectomy (removal of the adenoidal tissue)
- myringotomy with tube placement (removal of fluid from the middle ear and insertion of ear tubes). ear tubes and tonsillectomies)
Our highly skilled ENT surgeons also have areas of specialization and perform complex procedures that are unique in the area. For example, we are the only children's clinic in Orlando to offer balloon sinuplasty, an advanced technology to treat sinus disease. With this procedure, our doctors can treat severe sinus infections by placing a special type of balloon catheter (a small tube with an inflatable balloon on its tip) into the inflamed sinus. By gradually inflating the balloon, they can successfully open the blocked sinus cavity.
Partnering With You to Help Your Child
We believe strongly in educating families and want you to know that you are an important part of your child's care team. We welcome your active involvement in the decision-making process. We also strive to make things as easy and convenient as possible for you and your child. Because our Ear, Nose and Throat doctors and audiologists are all under one roof, your child can often have multiple appointments scheduled in one day.
Working as a Team to Care For Your Child
Whether your child's ENT problem is straightforward (such as a chronic ear infection) or much more complicated (such as deafness), we practice medicine in a way that brings together skills and talent from different areas of expertise.
Members from different specialties collaborate to create solutions to treat and meet your child's needs.
Health professionals who may be involved include:
- surgeons (oral)
- audiologists
- behavioral health experts
- deaf educators
- neurologists (doctors who treat problems of the nervous system)
- radiologist
Our doctors and teams provide advanced ENT care that takes your whole child, and not just the condition into account. We address areas and conditions that include:
- General pediatric otolaryngology
- recurrent ear infections
- adenotonsillar disease/strep throat
- adenoidal enlargement or disease
- tonsil enlargement/infection
- Rhinology: nose and sinuses
- sinus disease sinus/nasal diseases

RallySport Direct carries a large selection of Pulleys to improve the performance of your vehicle. How does a pulley create more horsepower? For example, in the Subaru platform, the factory crank pulley is a tad heavy as it should be. But a lighter pulley creates less rotational mass which allows the mechanism of the motor to move a little easier. Because the length of the Subaru crankshaft is so short, you don't have the issue of balance whereas, something with an inline 6 would be affected after some time.
Additionally, some factory crank pulleys or harmonic balancers if you will. risk coming apart. How so? Some crank pullies are made with urethane center construction that can become weak over time, and actually separate from the metal surface of the pulley. Most aftermarket pulleys we offer eliminate this possibility with solid aluminum construction.
You can choose from many brands that include the likes of COBB. Fluidampr, Go Fast Bits, Grimmspeed, Kartboy, and Cusco among other awesome brands. You can also get pulley kits from Go Fast Bits and Cusco. Choose from many different colors to go along with the theme in your engine bay. Make sure while you're upgrading that pulley, to check out our great selection of timing belts, and timing belt components.

If Boeing heeds the FAAs warnings, its likely that well see a software barrier between the passenger data and the flight control systems. Software security practitioners will be quick to tell you that we cant test security into a system. We cant measure its level of security and validate it to be 100%. There will always be unknowns. There will always be human mistakes.
Is any one of us willing to accept that, when we were warned of the problem and should have known better? I didnt think so.
Ive heard it argued that the network design may have come from weight limitations. Well, to that argument, I say that many airlines are currently deploying Wi-Fi networks in their aircraft, and to my knowledge, theyre doing it without any connectivity between the passenger and flight control networks.
From my safe, distant vantage point, I can only say I wouldnt trust anything short of the best firewall in the world, the air gap. That is, complete separation between the flight control and passenger data.
|Security Articles
Security and the Politics of Fear
Norton Internet Security 2008: Faster, Stronger
Microsoft's New Patent: The Dark Side of SaaS
Google's Android vs. Apple's iPhone: Which is More Secure?
And theres the lesson that we can all take away from this issue, even if were not designing ultra-high tech passenger jets. Theres no software firewall product that will ever provide the level of protection of a complete air gap. When we look at our own data centers, we should judiciously (but still carefully) separate our own administrative and management data from our customers production data.
VLANs, firewalls, and all those other shiny little security boxes we all seem to like so much are fine and well. But when we absolutely require data separation, I have yet to meet the data packet that can safely cross the air gap. And Im not talking wireless here.
I just shudder to think of the human tragedy that could come from a software failure in this system. Add to that the dollar amount in the out-of-court settlement that will no doubt happen just as the FAA warning is read during the inevitable lawsuit, and its not a pretty situation.
Lets just hope Boeing makes the right decision. As for me, for once Im not just content, but ecstatically happy that the airline I spend far too much time onand whose 747-400 Im currently strapped to while typing thishasnt even ordered any of these new Dreamliners yet. Thats one firewall for which Ill prefer to wait for version 1.1.

Breastfeeding Lobby Day – Virginia General Assembly – January 18, 2016
Join VA Alliance for Breastfeeding Laws and fellow breastfeeding supporters for a day of breastfeeding advocacy at the Virginia General Assembly on January 18, 2016. (See the Facebook event page here.)
There is power in numbers, so we will go in groups to meet face-to-face with legislators and/or their staff. This is a great opportunity to thank our representatives who voted unanimously in support of last year's Right to Breastfeed in Public, and to ask them to vote in favor of this year's breastfeeding-related bills.
This session, two breastfeeding-related bills will be introduced. One increases workplace anti-discrimination protections for pregnant and lactating women, and the other increases workplace pumping protections.
Children and babies are welcomed to attend, and the schedule for the day is flexible to accommodate the varied needs of individuals and families. Come for the morning or the afternoon, for as long or short a time as you like.*
**While January 18 is the Martin Luther King Holiday, the General Assembly is in session!** This is a popular lobby day for many groups, and it tends to be less crowded in the afternoon, in case that is a concern for anyone.
Schedule options:
10am-12pm Visit offices of representatives
12pm-2pm Lunch and/or observe House or Senate sessions
2pm-4pm Visit offices of representatives
There are a number of ways you can choose to participate while at the General Assembly:
*verbally share with your representatives or their staff a short story of how better breastfeeding laws positively impact you, your family, your community
*hand-deliver a letter sharing your personal story or asking for your representatives' support of this year's bills
*simply your presence will increase our visibility, so you do not need to come prepared to speak
Additional information to come on meeting points and parking options in the area.
Thank you for your support!

This is one of those issues of a mini-series that proves the story could've been told in fewer installments. Lost Command #4 has plenty of the badass moments I've come to expect from the series, with far less of the notable characterization and plot development. It's still enjoyable, it's merely the fact that this entire issue could be boiled down to a few pages, if need be. We're no further to finding out what Vader's flashbacks mean to the overall plot. Although, this issue does go to great lengths to provide some interesting parallels between Vader and the man he was sent to the Ghost Nebula to rescue, Admiral Tarkin – Moff Tarkin's son. It's not subtle, but it's not heavy handed either. Blackman knows just where to pull back to leave the comparison obvious but unspoken.
The art for issue #4 feels under par with what we've gotten the three issues previous, with very loose showings from all members of the art team. Some panels are held together by the inking, and others seem hurt by it. This book has all the same artists involved as the previous installments, but you wouldn't know it when reading through. There are some great moments to be had – Vader's crash landing for instance – but for the most part Lost Command #4 doesn't feel up to snuff with the rest of the series.
