After 13 years of undiagnosed chronic illness, I had pretty much given up on doctors, natural and allopathic, and healers of all types. Although a few doctors provided an important piece of the puzzle, no one could figure me out completely. The medicine and supplements they prescribed usually made me worse.
I've learned to manage my own symptoms, primarily through diet and carefully selected supplements. My energy is limited, my life is boundaried, but I rarely experience dramatic symptoms if I follow my self-prescribed protocol. I can do so much more than many people with chronic illness.
That doesn't mean I'm healed at all. With one slip, symptoms return, with multiple slips they compound.

Richard Waugh is a Canadian actor who provided the voice of series antagonist Albert Wesker for several titles. Waugh first appeared in Resident Evil CODE:Veronica, later returning for Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil 4.[1] He also provided the voice of Wesker for Wesker's Report. He modeled Wesker's voice after George Sander's voice work for Shere Khan from Disney's The Jungle Book, as his kids were watching Disney films at the time he was called in to play Wesker in CODE:Veronica.[2]
Aside from his work in the Resident Evil series, he had recurring roles in live-action television series such as F/X: The Series, RoboCop, and A Nero Wolfe Mystery.

RTC endorses second Board of Ed candidate
Published 11:49 am, Thursday, June 26, 2014
The race for the Darien Board of Education is now contested as the Republican Town Committee found a second candidate to endorse.
Along with incumbent Michael Harman, who serves as the board secretary and chairman of the budget committee, the RTC unanimously endorsed David "Duke" Dineen.
"Michael Harman and David Dineen bring a combination of Board of Education experience, private and community leadership and a commitment to deliver the best education to all of our town's children," James Palen, chairman of the RTC, said. "These are two individuals who have developed successful private careers and will bring their proven leadership skills to the Board of Education. We look forward to working with Michael and David and their broad base of supporters in town during this fall's campaign and ask that you do the same."
Harman and Dineen will challenge Democrats Tony Imbimbo and Mike Burke to fill three seats on the board.
Democrat Heather Shea and Republican Morgan Whittier will not seek re-election in November.
"I am excited to have the opportunity to serve on the Board of Education at this critical juncture," Dineen said in a news release. "My intention is to listen to the administration/faculty, parents, students and fellow board members, and to actively participate in the conversation around the current challenges while also building on the solid foundation of work that has been accomplished. The areas I will focus on include hiring the best Superintendent possible, ensuring our program review process and reporting metrics address all aspects of our educational system, and building a strong communication plan based on trust and transparency."
Dineen has lived in Darien for 17 years with his wife, Ashley, and their three children, who attend Tokeneke Elementary School and St. Luke's School.
Dineen served two years on the Environmental Protection Commission and eight years as a volunteer Darien firefighter, and serves as treasurer for Darien Revitalization Inc.
Harman has lived in Darien with his family for 13 years and has two children attending Tokeneke and Darien High School.
"I look forward to continuing to serve our community on the Board of Education as we move forward with some very significant projects," Harman said in a news release. "The most important priorities for the board will include the continued reorganization of the special education program, the hiring of new permanent administration, the implementation of the teacher evaluation program and the development of a strategic facilities plan that will address the schools current and future infrastructure needs."
Harman was elected to the Board of Education in November 2011 after serving two years on the Representative Town Meeting and on its Education Committee. He has volunteered for the Darien Soccer Association for more than 10 years.

Last week a Tweet from the South Dakota House Democrats said, "Today women lost more of their rights in SD with HB 1217." It matched many of the comments made the week before when the United states House of Representatives voted to defund Planned Parenthood.
The comment from SD refers to a bill that passed the South Dakota House 49-19 and has been sent to the Senate. Making national headlines for its "extreme" nature, the bill, in simplest form, requires women wanting an abortion have a 72 hour waiting period and receive counseling from a crisis pregnancy center to make sure their decision is not coerced or happening under the emotional pressure of the moment—you know, like when you have any major surgery.
In fact, abortion is the only surgery that one can just pop in, get, and walk out without any required follow-up care. However, the pro-abortion rhetoric these days might make you think otherwise.

An expansion of photo radar is among a series of Saskatchewan traffic law changes coming into effect in a few months.
Photo radar, a system where the owners of cars caught speeding are automatically ticketed, is already in effect in certain highway construction zones.
But as early as June 27, when the new rules kick in, it will also be used in school zones and at several heavily used sites the government deems "high risk."
Those sites include Circle Drive in Saskatoon, the intersection of Highway 1 and 9th Avenue in Moose Jaw, and the Ring Road in Regina.
Saskatchewan Government Insurance has released more details about how the program will work:
- For the new locations, there could be multiple deployment points.
- The devices could be deployed anywhere along the high-risk corridors.
- Any speed above the posted limit could result in a ticket.
- There will be posted signs indicating where photo radar is in effect.
The expansion of photo radar is a pilot project, so it could result in more widespread use once the trial period is over.
Cellphone rules get tougher
Another change that's coming into effect on June 27 is a provision that drivers caught using their cellphones twice in a year can have their vehicles seized for up to seven days.
The way impaired drivers are treated by Saskatchewan Government Insurance is also changing.
Instead of the current 30 day licence suspension, new drivers caught driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol will face a 60 day licence suspension and will have their vehicle seized for three days.
Other changes coming into effect this summer include:
- Convicted impaired drivers will have to pay to have an ignition interlock device installed in their vehicles for a minimum of nine months on a first offence, and up to five years on subsequent offences.
- Booster seats will be mandatory for children under seven years of age, less than 145 centimetres (4 feet, nine inches) in height and under 36 kilograms (80 pounds) in weight.
- New motorcycle riders and their passengers will be required to have their arms and legs covered, wear gloves, ankle-covering boots, and either an approved three-quarter, modular or full-face motorcycle helmet.

Wanted: College Building League
Thu 17 Mar 2011 - Filed under: Not a Journal., Hope, Projects for other people | Leave a Comment | Posted by: Gavin
File under projects for other people to follow up on: here's a pitch for a reality TV show I want to watch and a league I want to follow.
How about the top 100 colleges and universities in this country (and internationally, too, why not?), alongside the football, basketball, lacrosse, table tennis, etc., teams they already have, field design and building teams for an intercollegiate building league?
Teams would be made up of students from every part of the school—it's the ultimate resume booster and the best way to get some work experience and do a little networking along the way.
In the first semester, students would identify and design a project that would benefit their local community. In the second, they'd build it.
Impossible? Weeeellll, no. The Rural Studio does it every year.
The good people from Habitat for Humanity, Rural Studio, and Architecture for Humanity could be involved as mentors and judges.
There are a few TV channels (calling HGTV . . . Bravo . . . ) where this would be a natural fit but I'd just as happily tune in to ABC/NBC/CBS/Fox to see it.
Ok, now please someone make it happen!

Compliments, curves, and the ownership of female bodies
Over at Teen Vogue, advice columnist Rachel Simmons fields a question from a 17-year-old boy who was summarily shut down by his love interest after he complimented her on her "hourglass figure":
I commented that she had a "really nice, hourglass figure". I thought she would take it as a compliment but instead she became deeply offended. I went into damage control mode and tried to clarify my comments but I think I only made things worse when I used the term "healthy". With a look of complete disgust, WHAP!, she slapped my face and departed. She had a classic hourglass figure–very busty, narrow waist, shapely hips/legs. I guess she had interpreted "hourglass" as meaning big/overweight/full figured. Why can't girls embrace their curves?
Rachel responds rather disappointingly. She drops some great facts (81% of ten year old girls are afraid of being fat, over 50% of women age 18-25 would rather be hit by a truck than be fat—WHAT?) but then gives this advice:
Even if having curves used to be something women wanted, the rules are different now. Girls aspire to size zero, and plenty of them think anything bigger than that is porky. Which is—just to be clear—completely cracked. … You ask if hitting you amounts to a rejection. Who cares, really? More importantly, it's a big bad red flag about the kind of girl she likely is (insert cuckoo clock noise here).
Everyone here is assuming that this girl reacted the way she did because she is insecure with her body. Not only is that offensive to the girl, but it's offensive to girls everywhere, because it paints them as unable to stand up for themselves for any reason other than insecurity. It makes all girls sound like image-obsessed, eating-disordered, painfully insecure figures just waiting for the approval and rescue of a male.
How do we even know that's what she's upset about? It certainly doesn't sound like this boy asked what the offense was. His "damage control mode" didn't even include an apology! He's just assuming that the problem is in her self-image and not in his behavior.
So here's where I come in. Should she have hit him? Probably not. But did he have the right to comment on how appealing the shape of her body was? DEFINITELY not. And I'm disgusted that neither advice seeker nor advice columnist picked up on this, but here it is:
That means that I, as a woman—one who probably fits into the "really nice, hourglass figure" spectrum—have absolutely no obligation to graciously accept anyone's compliment. In fact, I would have reacted quite similarly to how the girl in question did. (Except no hitting—my words are my weapon.) And it wouldn't be because I haven't "embraced my curves"—my body is awesome, man—but because they are exactly that: MY curves. As in, belonging to me. As in, not something that other people have the right to comment on.
I'm not saying compliments aren't awesome, because they are. But "I really like the shape of your body" outside of a seriously intimate context is just creepy and invasive and it's no wonder that girl felt uncomfortable. It's reducing a woman to her shape and ignoring everything else fantastic about her: her wit, her charm, her sense of humor, her laugh, her awesome sense of fashion, her ANYTHING. It reduces her, once again, to a body to be consumed by the world around her.
So when Kevin asks "why can't girls embrace their curves?" what he is really asking is "why can't girls allow ME to embrace their curves?" And not only are we not supposed to be upset by that, but we're actually supposed to be excited about it, to the point that if we're not, we're crazy? No thanks.

5 Responses to Compliments, curves, and the ownership of female bodies
C.K. on 03-04-2010Good point, Melissa. Really Kevin's behaviour was just a step up from anonymous guys who honk and catcall from cars and act like women should feel grateful to be objectified in that manner. Of course that's no justification for violence and clearly she shouldn't have slapped him.
I hope you send a link of your response to Rachel's column over to Teen Vogue. It's disconcerting to think that someone offering advice to teenagers sees nothing problematic in a guy a girl barely knows feeling free to comment on her body.
Rachel on 03-04-2010You bring up a really good point comparing his comment to random catcalls on the street. I didn't even think of it that way, but it's true. Outside of an intimate context it is a bit creepy for him to say that to a young girl. I'm even more disturbed by Rachel (not me thank god) from Teen Vogue's curve-hatred and downright messed up response to that boy regarding female body image. Someone with such bias towards size zero, and an obvious dislike of perfectly normal bodies should not be giving advice to young girls.
Andrew on 03-05-2010I'm definitely in agreement with your comments about blaming any assertiveness by a female to insecurity or irrationality – it's definitely not an appropriate way to condition young women.
However, I don't think I'm fully convinced by arguments using the words "objectification" and "ownership" in this context. My hair is my hair, but I wouldn't be offended by somebody complimenting it (nor would I be worried that they were concerned only with my hair, and not with my personality).
I think it's a much stronger argument to simply say that commenting on a woman's figure without solicitation or cause is creepy and makes her feel uncomfortable. It seems that that's the wrong behaviour being exhibited.
I'd feel the same way if somebody commented about some parts of my anatomy (an elementary difference, even ignoring other distinctions, being that I can avoid putting those ones on show, whereas it's markedly more difficult for women).
Stella on 03-07-2010Did the kid deserve to be slapped? DEFINITELY not. Did he have the "right" to comment/compliment her on her body? Probably not. There, that's a bit better. We don't know the context of the situation he was in, he's only given the negative reaction to what may have been part of a conversation that was going very well for him and he felt it was ok to say something. OR he could have just approached her and opened with that. Either way, a physical response was not warranted, hell even a verbal lashing may not be warranted. The kid may have just been the last in a long frustrating line of comments that girl has already heard and she was frustrated and upset so couldn't help herself, or she just could be high strung and easily offended. We just don't know, do we? But IMO, an attack on the boy, whether physical or verbal, is not the answer to this problem. As a still young man that is more easily taught, a firm lesson on why his actions are inappropriate is the key, not something to make him feel attacked that would have the opposite affect of showing him that he's out of line. It could push him to dislike and lose respect for women even more if he feels attacked by them because of this
Crystal on 03-13-2010It's not clear whether the teenagers were dating. If they were, I don't think there's much wrong with the boy's comment, depending on how intimate the two were. Otherwise, yes, it's inappropriate (though I think we're all agreed that physically hitting the boy was totally wrong).
Andrew compares it to a compliment on someone's hair. Thing is, "You have lovely hair" is very different to "You have lovely breasts." Hair, face, clothes are all public things that it's acceptable to comment on. Breasts, waist, hips and legs are far more personal and private. And that's still true of a woman wearing a vest top and shorts.
If there wasn't such a history of belittling women and telling us that only our faces and figures matter, it wouldn't be so important.


text: What will change? Effective January 2013, the eCheck/eTravel System will no longer use social security numbers. Rather than using SSNs, each record will be identified by a unique vendor number (VN) maintained within the Unified Vendor Database. VN's will only be used within procurement and payables processes. The UGAMart process is not changing. Vendors are already required to submit a vendor profile form before being synced for use in UGAMart. What will change? Vendor search function in eCheck and eTravel will include employees and individuals. Users can create a check request or travel authority without knowing the employee or non-employee's TIN, SSN, or UGAID. Phase II Phase II will begin on December 20, 2012 The eCheck/eTravel system will go into maintenance mode at 11:00 on December 20, 2012. Users will be unable to create check requests or travel authorizations until January 2, 2013. Campus users should make personnel aware that any requests or authorizations using SSNs should be routed to Accounts Payable prior to December 20, 2012. On January 2, 2013, SSNs will no longer be accepted. Phase II continued January 2013 the "Type of Request" drop down menu on eCheck will be updated to only include the following choices: Customer Refund (refund to individuals from funds collected, i.e. chapel rental, conference/workshops hosted by UGA, etc.) Pymt to Non-Employee Employee Reimbursement Non-resident alien Petty Cash Registration Employee Group Travel Payment of Goods <=$100 (things like journal subscriptions) Research Participants <=100 Vendor Payment Phase II Continued Online Vendor Registration Alternative to the paper vendor profile form. Primary method for vendors (companies & non- employees) to submit their required payment information to UGA. Employees SHOULD NOT complete this process for the creation of their vendor number. Employee VN's are generated in the eCheck system. eCheck requests for refunds to students or customers (where a fee has been collected) or other non-vendor payments will not require submission of a vendor profile form. An example of this would be returning the collection of registration fees for a conference if a participant had to cancel. What will change in the eCheck system? Everything still looks the same when you log in to the eCheck system. Everything still looks the same when you log in to the system. Now, a "Vendor Search" button exists. New "Request Types" "Vendor Payment" is being selected for this example. After selecting the type of request, click on the "Vendor Search" button. The vendor search window will pop up. Key in the vendor name that you are looking for in the empty white box. The search box also contains a drop down menu that will allow the check request initiator to select if this entry is a company, non-employee, or employee. The system automatically defaults this to "All." It can be changed by the initiator if desired. The system brings back the vendors that we have that currently meet the criteria of the name that you entered. Find the appropriate address and select it double clicking on the vendor name highlighted in blue. The vendor number populates the remit to section and the initiator can continue to the "Direct Departmental Inquiries To" section. Paying a reimbursement to an employee For this example we will use "Employee Reimbursem ent" for this instate travel check request. After selecting the appropriate type of request, click on the "Vendor Search" button. Here we have entered the employee name and changed the dropdown menu to reflect that the individual is an employee. The search returns a "No Results Found" message. Employees also have to be assigned a new vendor number. This will only occur the first time an employee is being paid. After the employee is assigned a vendor number, they will display in the vendor search field. We will view that in a moment. For now, we need to get Sarah Garner added into the vendor database. Since we received the "No Results Found" message, we need to click on the "Request an Employee Vendor" option just above the vendor search field. A new pop-up box will appear titled "Request Employee Vendor." Enter your employee's name in the white box. Enter the employee's name (last name then first name) and click "Search." You should be returned a list of employees to choose from. The home department of the employee and the MyID of the employee will be returned to you. Once you have located the correct employee, click "Select." You will receive a message to wait 60 seconds and retry the vendor search. Close the "Request Employee Vendor" search box. Go back to your Vendor Search box and search for the employee again. The employee entry now exists. Click on the employee's name in blue to add it to the request. Vendor number information has been populated for the traveler. What about travel authorities? The travel authorizatio now has a "Traveler Search" butto The first thing an initiator needs to do when creating a travel authorization is to click on the traveler search button and look for the traveler. Note: Non-US citizen travelers will not have to complete the registration process that generates a vendor number. Once the initiator clicks on the traveler search box, they will have to indicate if the individual is a nonemployee or employee. For this example, we will enter a nonemployee by the name of Sonya Collins. Once we search, it will return a vendor record for her below. Click her name in blue to add the individual to the travel authorization. Vendor numb information f Sonya Collins has been populated. What if a non-employee does not exist in the database? Helpful hint: When searching for individuals or employees, do not enter a comma between the last and first names. If your non-employee doesn't exist in the database, you will get the "No results found" message. At that point, you should contact the nonemployee and direct them to the vendor registration site to complete the process. The travel authorization will not be able to be finished until the registration process has been completed. Here is a travel authorization for an employee This time, the initiator enters the name of an employee and changes the drop-down box to "Employee." The search returns identifying information for the employee. To select this employee, the initiator should click the name in blue. Vendor number information has been retrieved fo the employe What if the employee that is traveling isn't in the vendor database yet? Here we see an employee that we have searched for that is not in the database. We get the "No Results Found" message. The next step is to "Request an Employee Vendor Number" by clicking here The new "Request Employee Vendor" box pops up. Enter the employee name and click on search. Remember, enter the last name first. The employee name appears with identifying information. Click select to add the employee to the database. The initiator will receive the message that the vendor creation is underway. This box should be closed. If you return to the traveler search box and search again, the travelers information will display. Click on the name in blue to add the traveler to the travel authorization. Remember! You only have to add an employee to the database once. Once a vendor number (VN) has been created for that individual, you will not have to request another one!

Recently I have made two USBASP (http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/) AVR programmer boards. At home I use AVR MCUs, and all were ok. ATmega-8 with external 16.384MHz oscillator is programmed in 4 seconds. At my workplace I deal with AT89s8252 (military analog), and in my lab it used to flash them by means of 3-resistors on an LPT port. Such a so-called «programmer» flashes the chip in some minutes and kicks.
But I found that avrdude does not support such MCUs. Neither 8051 nor at89s8252. The only I have found was the config for 89s8253, this chip has SPI-commands similar to AVR ones.
I was sad, but suddenly I found s51dude (http://s51dude.gforge.lug.fi.uba.ar/) project, that works with USBISP programmer (usbtiny), which has a different schematics. Project's homepage provides patched (for s51 ISP support) sources for USBISP, so I've made little changes and flashed my USBASP with patched USPISP firmware. Now I have USBASP board which is detected as USPISP and supports both AVR and s51 chips.
Patched firmware with sources for USBASP board you can get here.

Sorry, no etymologies found.
Seldom has the word "anaphase" held more suppressed longing.
In the current study, the investigators found that when cancer cells with extra centrosomes enter "anaphase" - the stage of cell division when chromosomes move toward the poles of the spindle before being drawn into the new daughter cells - a few chromosomes lagged behind the others.
The metaphase-anaphase transition is orchestrated through proteolysis of numerous proteins by a ubiquitin protein ligase called the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C).
It also reported that inhibition of CDK2 by seliciclib suppressed lung cancer growth both in vitro and in vivo of lung cancer cells addicted to CDK2/cyclin E; and lung cancer cells underwent apoptosis or cell suicide by induction of a novel mechanism called anaphase catastrophe, as illustrated in the journal's front cover.
This resulted in the identification of two ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes: the cyclosome, now also called anaphase-promoting complex or APC / C, involved in the degradation of mitotic cyclins and some other cell cycle regulatory proteins in exit from mitosis
The E3 enzyme responsible, a protein complex termed the "anaphase-promoting complex" (APC) checks that the cell goes out of mitosis.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2004 - Information for the Public
A rise in intracellular calcium at the onset of anaphase could regulate the polar ejection force by shutting down the centriolar turbines, but defective regulation could result in an excessive force that contributes to the chromosomal instability characteristic of most cancer cells.
In contrast, 82.5% of injected cells align chromosomes in metaphase, progress to anaphase, and display chromosome velocities not significantly different from control cells.
It should be possible to test this by observing chromosome behavior in the spindles of dividing animal cells while artificially raising the concentration of intracellular calcium during prometaphase or blocking its rise at the beginning of anaphase.
But today I could barely talk, coughing up reams of horrifying crap, and even writing this sentence is taking all the late-anaphase mitosis I can muster.

- Metal Roofing Is Reflective - although the sun isn't necessarily a big concern in Wisconsin, especially with a majority of the year being winter; however, another benefit of installing a metal roof is that metal is a reflective material and will reflect the sun, which will keep your home cooler on those hot summer days. This will ultimately help save money on your utility bill as your air conditioning system won't have to run as much to effectively cool your home. You might also be wondering about a metal roof not having enough of an insulating factor. However, this is where the importance of hiring an experienced roofing contractor comes in. An experienced roofer knows how to install a metal roof in a way that will leave enough dead-air space between the roof's decking and the metal to increase the energy efficiency your new roof supplies your home.
- Life Expectancy - metal roof's have been proven to last two to three times longer than most of the other widely used roofing materials. When a metal roof is installed and maintained correctly, it could potentially last just as long as your home. This will also save you money in the long run and could help increase the value of your home.
- Extremely Durable - metal roofing is very durable, which as we mentioned above, it will last longer. But another feature of installing a metal roof is the fact that there is very little maintenance involved. Metal roofing can withstand high winds and is very effective when it comes to preventing any type of water intrusion. Additionally, it can easily drop snow and ice, which could potentially help your home to avoid ice dams.
- Resistant To Environmental Issues - installing a metal roof has other benefits as well. Metal roofing tiles have been proven to be fire resistant, as well as being known for not attracting insects that could damage your home. In addition, these roofs are also resistant to mold and rot should a water or moisture event occur.
- Expensive - metal roofing does cost more than your traditional asphalt shingles, at least initially. However, you have to remember that a metal roof's life expectancy is much longer and it's significantly more durable than most of the more commonly used materials. Therefore, if you look at how much a metal roof will save you in the long run, you will see that ultimately a metal roof is a very cost effective roofing solution.
- Expanding And Contracting - metal tiles will expand and contract as they experience heat and cold. However, an experienced roofing contractor will know how to properly install a metal roof in a way that will minimize this problem. Therefore, it's extremely important that you hire a reputable contractor who is well respected within your community.
- Noise Factor - there are some people who express concern about the potential for noise when considering a metal roof. For others though, the sounds that tap a metal roof are considered soothing. Regardless of your position, metal roofing noise can be easily dealt with. However, you will need to hire an experienced roofing contractor who knows how to install your new roof so that it will cut down on a good portion of the noise.
- Denting And Damage - metal roofing tiles are susceptible to denting and damage from large hail and other potential hazards. However, so is your current roof, your car and anything else that is hit by a large object. A metal roof is no different.
- Color Matching Issues - a metal roof is very durable; however, it's not fail-proof. That means should you ever encounter damage, you might have a hard time matching the existing color, after the necessary repairs have been performed.
Installing a metal roof is an excellent investment and one that could last a lifetime. However, as we mentioned above, it's extremely important that you only hire an experienced, reputable, local roofing contractor. And should you have any doubts, don't hesitate to solicit a few more bids. Just make sure you are receiving apples to apples bids so you can make a fair comparison.

Project Description
Arts, Culture, & Entertainment
Our firm and team members have extensive experience working on large-scale strategic planning, community engagement and complex communications programs for a wide range of clients. At Resolute, we understand the unique nature of partnering on a creative project, having worked with clients like Steppenwolf, the Arts Alliance, the Chicago Botanic Garden, and Redmoon Theatre. Our plans are designed both to stand out – and be flexible to fit an evolving project's needs.
The Chicago Botanic Garden
Managing a bold branding campaign to break into new markets
PROJECT: The Chicago Botanic Garden is a living museum of national and international stature in northeastern Illinois. Resolute Consulting Partner Anne-Marie St. Germaine previously worked as vice president for external affairs for The Chicago Botanic Garden. Anne-Marie leveraged a grant from the MacArthur Foundation to develop a branding campaign to help the Garden "break out" into a broader marketplace of awareness and relevance among target audiences.
STRATEGY: The Garden team crafted a set of core messages based on research and developed tailored messages for each audience, tested in collateral materials and focus groups. The Garden launched an earned and paid media campaign.
OUTCOME: During the three-year "Just One Look" campaign, the Garden was able to achieve quantitative and qualitative results in benchmark areas of major- and annual gifts, a more diverse demographic of visitors, and a growth in membership.
Arts Alliance
Developing digital strategies to engage and activate Chicagoans
PROJECT: Arts Alliance is the state's leading voice for the arts and arts education. Resolute Consulting was engaged by Arts Alliance Illinois (AAI) to develop and implement an initiative to position the Mayor's Chicago Cultural Plan as an impactful arts strategy to build community, stimulate economic development, create jobs, and foster innovation.
STRATEGY: Resolute worked with AAI to manage a committee of 30+ of the city's top arts and cultural leaders to launch Accelerate Culture. We worked with AAI to brand and launch the initiative, including development of a logo and collateral materials, construct a website, launch social media pages, promote in the media and run a data-targeting paid digital program.
OUTCOME: As a result of our campaign, 85 aldermanic candidates signed the Accelerate Culture pledge and 13 new organizations and 599 individuals joined Accelerate Culture.

A how-to guide for Lenten sacrifice
Brad Blomstrom | Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Happy Day-After-Mardi-Gras, everyone. I hope last night's bacchanalia has filled you with enough party memories to get you through the slow slog of Lent. (Side note: Did you know that there are around seven shots of liquor in a standard hurricane? I do now. Here's to waking up in bonus time!). Given that my Mardi Gras isn't really "over" yet, I feel obligated to spread some leftover Mardi Gras cheer.
Ash Wednesday finds many of us scrambling to come up with a "good thing" to give up for Lent. It must be something that is completely manageable, yet substantial enough for us to avoid embarrassment when discussing it in the company of friends (lest we be out-Catholicked!). For those facing some Ash Wednesday anxiety, here is some insight into the real reasons behind some of your friends' sacrifices:
I'm giving up sweets / going on a diet
Read: I'm going to Panama City for Spring Break next week and the crash diet begins now. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.
I'm giving up drinking excessively
Read: I came up with this while experiencing one of the worst hangovers of my life. After the Backer on Saturday, I said to myself, "Self, I'm never doing this to you again." Until it's time to pregame Fever on Thursday. Then I'm back off the wagon and back on the blackout train.
I'm giving up swearing
Read: That darn rap music has ruined my vocabulary, and I'll be gosh-darned if I don't do something about it during Lent. Wait, I have a paper due tomorrow that I forgot about? F*** this!
I'm giving up chocolate
Read: My girlfriend/boyfriend dumped me last week and I have all of this leftover chocolate from Valentine's Day that I am not eating. I don't care how delicious it is. If I eat it, [the ex] wins.
I'm giving up facebook
Read: There may or may not be pictures of me from last night in which I would not like to be tagged. Body shots? Not on my Newsfeed!
People that choose this option usually get to keep eating chocolate during Lent.
I'm giving up Subway
Read: I'm one of those clowns making five-dollar-footlong fools of themselves by boycotting the most popular eatery on campus.
I'm giving up gossip, from a girl
"Gossip" refers to celebrity gossip. Read: The Oscars are over, so my craving to judge strangers over insignificant fashion choices has been satisfied.
I'm giving up gossip, from a guy
"Gossip" refers to claiming to have inside information on the football team and debating whether Manti Te'o will win three or four Butkus Awards. Read: Bowl season is over and spring practice is a long way off, so the legitimacy of my inside information is already questionable at best.
"But what of the Daft Punk," you might ask. There must be something he is giving up that might draw my scorn and ridicule!" You are right, dear reader, and out of fairness I will tell you. I am giving up ticking off good-hearted Teach for America supporters. A good number of them do want to be teachers, and I think they deserve some credit. As for the rest, thank God we all get to break our promises on Sunday.
Brad Blomstrom is a senior majoring in finance and economics. He found the baby in the king cake last night, but no one followed his decree that he be addressed as "your royal highness." He can be contacted at [email protected] injustice" instead of using our schools as a career launching pad.

Franke Previte - vocals; Tom Ayers - keyboards; Tico Torres - drums; Rockin Leigh Foxx Jr - bass; Tally Nomanese - rhythm guitar; Blake Levenson - keyboards; Billy Elworthy - lead guitar
Franke Previte was one of countless Springsteen wannabes that got signed by A&R execs between 1975 and 1985. Willie Nile, John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, Southside Johnny & the Asbury Dukes, John Eddie, and to a lesser degree, Eddie Money were among the notable names. They all came and most of them (sans Southside Johnny and Eddie Money) went by the end of the '80s. The similarities were striking among them: Nearly all were east coast based, they all had a powerful backing band that was integral to the live show, part of their stage charisma included the bravado of a pool-hall punk, and they all sang to their audience as if they were the first artist to ever cry about unrequited love in a dark city alley.
Among these "Springsteen-ies," as some critics would call them, Franke Previte was better than most. With his band, the Knockouts, he had played in a plethora of local bands in his hometown of New Brunswick, NJ. In 1981, he formed the Knockouts with Billy Elworthy, whom had been in many of his teen bands. Elworthy was the "Little Steven" of the relationship, helping him with his musical direction throughout. As soon as they created a buzz on the NJ club circuit, they were signed to Millennium Records, a label started by former Casablanca Records chief, Neil Bogart.
The group was reshaped into a softer, mellower group, with a focus on pop music. They still relied on their Jersey/Springsteen influence, however, and that is apparent with this show. Taped at Cleveland's famed Agora Ballroom, the show originally aired on the King Biscuit Flower Hour, after the band had released its second LP, Below The Belt. Although Franke & The Knockouts never really got farther than a few moderate hit singles ("Sweetheart" and "Without You,") some of the members did. Drummer Tico Torres departed after the band fell apart to join Bon Jovi, where he remains today, and bassist Leigh Foxx (who had been in the Runaways), became a successful TV and film producer.
The band was signed to MCA in 1984, but within a year fell apart due to poor record sales. Previte, oddly enough, hit the mother load in 1987 when he co-wrote two songs for a failed Franke & the Knockouts LP entitled "I've Had The Time Of My Life" and "Hungry Eyes." Both ended up on the soundtrack to Dirty Dancing and both became Top Five smash hits for Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes and Eric Carmen, respectively.

DUSHANBE, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Tajikistan said its economy grew 7.5 percent last year, slightly faster than in 2011 and buoyed by remittances from migrant workers and growth in its mining industry despite a slump in key export, aluminium.
More than two decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Tajikistan, which borders China and Afghanistan, is the poorest of the 15 post-Soviet republics and is a net importer of oil and gas.
It relies heavily on aluminium and cotton exports, as well as remittances from the approximately 1 million of its 7.5 million citizens who live and work abroad, mainly in Russia.
In nominal terms, Tajikistan's gross domestic product (GDP) rose to 36.161 billion somoni ($7.6 billion) last year, the state statistics agency said on Monday. In the previous year the economy grew 7.4 percent.
Industrial output growth accelerated to 10.4 percent in 2012 from 5.9 percent in 2011. It was driven by a 24 percent rise in the extraction of mostly oil, gas, coal, non-metal ores and edible salt, and by a 9.5 percent rise in manufacturing production.
Worker remittances rose 13.2 percent in January-September from a year earlier to $2.4 billion or 46 percent of gross domestic product, but full-year data is not yet available.
Easing inflation, which slowed to 6.4 percent by the end of 2012, from 9.3 percent a year earlier, helped the economy.
However, Tajikistan's foreign trade deficit widened to $2.4 billion last year from $1.9 billion in 2011, as exports of primary aluminium dropped by 18.9 percent to $556 million in 2012.
The country has implemented reforms to try and transform to a market economy and hopes to join the World Trade Organisation this year after getting the go ahead in December after 11 years of talks. It would be only the second Central Asian republic after Kyrgyzstan to join the trade body.
Russia extended its military presence in Tajikistan for 30 years in October to secure the southern fringes of its former Soviet empire after NATO troops leave Afghanistan.
As part of the deal to prolong its presence, Moscow provided a package of agreements that could bolster Tajikistan's economy, including better terms for Tajik migrant workers in Russia.
Other deals pledged cooperation building hydropower facilities and removing import duties on Russian light oil products used in Tajikistan.
Russian military and economic support is particularly important to Tajik President Imomali Rakhmon, whose rule has been challenged by chronic poverty, the growth of radical Islam and sporadic outbreaks of violence.

Animal Physiology (2nd Edition)
This text is rich with facts, but its approach to all the major physiological processes of animals is decidedly conceptual. Physiological concepts are first developed from fundamental principles of chemistry, biology, and physics; then the concepts are applied to a comparative study of animal groups. There is a strong ecological and evolutionary theme throughout the text.

Brief Encounters
Steven Berketo • Toronto • May 29, 2009
These three one-act plays, which are part of Coward's larger Tonight at 8:30 series, contain the lustiest set designs seen on Southern Ontario's coveted stage in years, accented by simulated passing trains and a nocturnal oceanfront flirting ground. And thanks to a stellar cast led by Patrick Galligan and Deborah Hay (who play the leads in each work) who seize every comical moment, the master playwright's genius for romantic absurdity comes shining through.
In Still Life, a lush tale of affairs takes shape in a railway station refreshment room. Two strangers, Laura Jesson and Alex Harvey, are trapped in marital doldrums and eventually firm up a plan to give in to sin but all does not go according to plan. The dramatic uncertainty of the situation is an examination of the human condition's weaknesses in the way only Coward knows how to probe.
We Were Dancing is best described as a willful satire of love at first sight. Here, it's a first dance between Louise Charteris and Karl Sandys, a moment that is sealed with a kiss. Louise's husband, Hubert, is dimwittedly soured by what he has witnessed as the newly connected hearts begin to humorously defend their coming together. Ludicrous behavior rides high throughout a myriad of playful scenes, until the accidental couple concedes to the futility of the situation and part ways when the sun rises on the island country club.
The finale, Hands Across The Sea, unfolds in a London apartment where British Commander Peter Gilpin and his wife, Lady Maureen, are joined by various acquaintances and a couple they think they remember from a trip overseas. It's a glamorous and stylized romp, rife with mistaken identities and much laughter.
Galligan is delightfully charming in his noble roles, but it's Hay who is the eyebrow raiser, proving to be far more adept in this sort of classic theater than anyone who knows her work in new plays would have imagined. Director Jackie Maxwell has previously flaunted panache and superior attention to detail, but reaches new highs with this pleasurable blend of wit and inanity.

Linux planted in many furrows (LinuxWorld wrap-up)
by Andy Oram
Related link: http://linuxworldexpo.com/linuxworldny03/V40/index.cvn
The environment of a trade show is blaringly inorganic. But I sometimes felt at LinuxWorld as if I was running back and forth through a garden, checking the progress of each sapling. I used the three brief days of the show to track the growth of Linux in several types of applications:
Embedded Linux
Proponents of embedded Linux seem satisfied with its rate of adoption. There's no way to be sure how many companies are using it, given the lack of licensing and the tendency of companies to treat their choice of embedded system as a competitive secret. But I heard lots of praise at the conference for the qualities of Linux that help it win over other embedded systems.
Chief among the qualities cited are Linux's sophisticated network stack, which supports an impressive range of the latest standards from Bluetooth to IPv6. I heard, at a presentation on Carrier Grade Linux by Glenn Sieler of
MontaVista Software, that Linux's support for IPv6 was attracting the interest of the telecom industry (which he estimated as 30% of the embedded Linux market), particularly in Korea and Japan where they cannot ignore the looming threat of a shortage of IPv4 addresses.
Sieler laid out a laundry list of Linux's advantages for telecom devices, both technical and social:
Ample technical support.
A wide range of supported hardware, offering easy portability of applications to new platforms.
Availability of source code.
Royalty-free use.
Powerful development tools.
Small footprint and modular design.
One key player in embedded Linux is the uClinux project (where the "u" stands for "micro"), a port of Linux to chips without memory management units. Building a microprocessor without an MMU, according to uClinux maintainer Greg Ungerer, allows it to be cheaper and even a bit faster than conventional chips. The disadvantages of doing without an MMU, such as static-sized stacks and the lack of memory protection, are often unimportant to embedded developers. uClinux will be integrated into the core Linux 2.6 distribution.
Ungerer and another uClinux maintainer, David McCullough, work at
a company that makes a feature-rich firewall and routing appliance so compact you can practically twirl it on one finger.
Sangoma goes even farther in shrinking the router, providing a single network interface card that, according to founder David Mandelstam, allows typical desktop systems to replace specialized routers and telecommunications equipment. Mandelstam, one of the more passionately evangelical CEOs I met, declared that he wanted to demystify routers. Vanilla Linux already provides routing and firewall software as full-featured as most people would want, and typically runs with much more memory and CPU power than high-priced, specialized routers. As for protocols, Sangoma cards support ADSL, Frame Relay, ATM--you name it. And while it plugs into many types of systems, Mandelstam considers Linux the best choice for this application.
(I already mentioned the OpenPDA in
Thursday's weblog.)
Desktop and enterprise Linux
The consensus among most observers, outside of the most enthusiastic Linux proponents, is that it will take a long time for Linux to be adopted by the average knowledge worker or home user. Thus, companies seem to be focusing on selling into the enterprise, with desktop Linux as an option to provide a consistent environment with Linux on servers. I believe this strategy lay behind Red Hat's recent announcement that it would no longer sell its personal workstation version in shrinkwrapped CD form. SuSE is also focusing on the enterprise. However, see the successes I cited for the
Linux Terminal Server Project
in Thursday's weblog.
Linux clusters
While most uses of Linux examined in this article consist of entries into existing markets and applications, clustering is an area where it has opened up exciting new possibilities. Although clustering existed before Linux, it has broken new ground by enabling the use of cheap commodity hardware without software license fees.
It appeared to me at LinuxWorld that Linux clustering has become almost ubiquitous where solutions for large enterprises are found. IBM advertises that its DB2 database management system (the database behind
can run on a cluster of shared-nothing (independent storage) Linux systems. Stalker's CommuniGate (mentioned in
Thursday's weblog) uses clusters. Many more instances could be cited.
Emic Networks, which markets Linux clustering solutions for Apache and MySQL to permit load-balancing and high availability, imposes very stringent requirements on its clusters. Each node within the cluster can handle a MySQL update and inform the user that it has finished, but before the cluster can handle any further queries, the update is propagated to all the other nodes so they move forward in lockstep. In this manner, different parts of a transaction (as well as overlapping queries and updates) can be handled by different nodes without the danger of dirty or phantom reads. A reliable protocol is layered on top of a UDP broadcast to accomplish the synchronization.
Incidentally, the appearance on Monday of an article in the New York Times promoting the importance of traditional Cray-style supercomputers has no bearing on this Linux clustering trend. It's not surprising that certain applications traditionally run on big-metal supercomputers require that architecture. The important point is that commodity hardware and license-free software is discovering an unexpectedly wide range of new applications.
Linux on mainframes
Surprised? I wasn't expecting originally to include a section on mainframes either. But Linux, which has always been a way to extend the life of old Windows and Macintosh hardware, has been thriving on legacy IBM mainframes for the same reason. According to VP of Marketing for Linuxcare, Beat Knecht, sites are even buying new mainframes to run Linux. IBM continues to push its mainframe and even announced a port of Lotus's Domino server to Linux on the zSeries mainframe.
While Linux has been ported to the bare hardware, it is apparently more common to run several instances of Linux on top of IBM's native MVS. Knecht explained that Linux, even though it is a multiuser operating system, does better running only one service at a time when the large applications that are popular nowadays are involved, such as databases and web servers.
Linuxcare, one of the earliest commercial names in the Linux space, has been extending the life of mainframes and doing a pretty good job of extending its own life as well by turning into a vendor of management software called Levanta for Linux on the mainframe. What was remarkable to me is that some 45 conference attendees took the trouble to cross the street and slip into the gothic industrial-nostalgia interior design of the W Hotel to hear CEO Avery Lyford's pitch.
LinuxWorld is an important show, a good place to pick up what's hot fast. It's also loud, high-pressure, and sometimes vulgar. The temptation to hype one's product may be overwhelming, just to make it stand out among the din of competing messages, and I may have succumbed once or twice to the heady brew.
Among the marketing materials that IBM handed out at LinuxWorld was the factlet that the world produced two exabytes of information in 1999. I hope that the weblogs I've generated at this conference add a little to this information. The other weblogs I wrote at the conference are:
What other trends in Linux and free software should be noted?

Hi guys,
this must be very simple, but i'm not getting to do it...
I have my, rather big, music colection in folders in this form: Artist - Album
and I want to rename my folders so they look like this: Artist - Album (Album Year)
Simply, I just want to add the "Album Year", inside brackets, to the folder name... but the "Album Year" should only appear if the ID3 tag has that information, if not, keep inicial form.
I tried to do this with a Rhythmbox plugin, "fileorganizer" I think, but it messed up my sample of 10 albuns (sample, in case something went wrong) and added year "0" when ID3 has no year...
Can this be done easily in the command line? Or is there an application that can do this?
If there's a script, or someone can lend a hand on writing one, if it helps, I can copy my colection when renaming it.
I will be very grateful for any help

Daimler AG suffered $500 million loss in the fourth quarter as a drop in sales, special charges and tougher financing conditions hampered the company's efforts at a turnaround. For the year, Daimler's losses topped $3.6 billion.
The bad news follows word that the company's board has approved a three-year extension of the contract for Daimler's characteristically optimistic CEO, Dieter Zetsche. (Click Here for more.) The new agreement extends through December 31, 2013. But there's little doubt Zetsche will face enormous pressure to reverse the German company's slide.
"The main reason for the Group's unsatisfactory profitability in 2009 is that vehicle unit sales fell in all segments due to the global economic crisis," the company said in a financial report released Thursday. "However, the decline in earnings was significantly alleviated by measures taken by the Group at an early stage to adjust costs, as well as by further efficiency enhancements in the context of the optimization programs already running."
Overall, revenues dropped by 20 percent last year, Daimler reported. The company also announced it planned to eliminate its dividend for the second year in a row, a move that is bound to anger the company's smaller shareholders.
"Due to the net loss, the Board of Management recommends to the Supervisory Board that no dividend should be distributed for the year 2009. This decision is solely a reflection of the course of business in 2009 and is not related to the group's expected business development this year," the company said.
Daimler is betting that it can – and must – continue to lead the industry in terms of product development, as well as the development of the technological innovations that increasingly differentiate brands. To back that position up, the Group maintained a high level of research and development spending, a total of $5.6 billion last year.
The main areas of focus were new, fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly drive technologies, in line with the company's "Road to Emission-free Mobility" initiative. Daimler is pressing heavily into electrification, last year launching its first hybrid models, as well as moving forward with pure battery power. But safety is another area of heavy R&D spending.
In the years 2010 and 2011, Daimler said it plans to spend a total of $13 billion on its research and development activities, roughly 70% of that total earmarked for the Mercedes-Benz Cars division.
"Last year brought many great challenges also for Daimler," said Zetsche. "But as the year progressed, we made the Group significantly more efficient and laid the foundations not only to overcome the upheaval affecting our industry, but to lead from a strong position. We are emerging from the crisis with plenty of torque," he said.
Zetsche noted that the world economy is still in a period of transition, cautioning that while the worst may be over, "there is very little hard evidence that a self-sustaining, lasting upswing has actually started." But he said that challenges in developed markets are being offset by the "positive influence" of China and India.
According to general industry estimates, worldwide demand for automobiles will grow this year between 3 percent and 4 percent compared with the crisis year 2009. Growth in the premium automobile segments was stunted, last year, because luxury products were generally excluded from government-funded incentive programs, such as Cash for Clunkers. But fewer such campaigns are anticipated in 2010, which means luxury cars could regain share.
Mercedes-Benz Cars assumes it will be able to defend its market position even with the continuation of difficult economic conditions, said Zetsche, adding that his goal is to increase unit sales in 2010.

First of all, it would take days, not hours to dry out. Turning it on too soon can fry the circuits. But worse than that, salt water is extremely bad for a camera. Most places won't even repair it.

My Sony Cybershot DSC-T70 won't turn on.? I have a Sony Cybershot camera model DSC-T70. It is a little over a year old. The camera takes a Rechargeable lithium ion battery (D type NP-BD1).

I have a DSC H10 camera. Today I put it in a plastic with a water bottle that wasn't close tightly. It got wet and now I've taken out out the battery and the memory card. I let the water drain out, I wiped out the battery chamber. I turned it on a few hours after the damage was done and the screen is not very bright. Also, now I can't access my photos, but I could earlier. What do i do? Do I have to let it dry out for 24 hours before turning it on again? Do you think the damage is permanent?
Turning it on before it completely dries out usually causes a short circuit. It can take up to a week with your camera buried in a bowl of dry rice to dry out. However, since you turned it on, it may be too late but try it anyway. ... Digital Cameras

I tried to charge the battery, thinking it was a bad battery, but the battery charger would continuously blink a red flash for hours! Can this camera be saved?

Branson's Virgin America gets grounded (cont.)
The airlines, which see Branson's well-manicured hand behind every move Virgin America makes, pulled out all the stops. In one filing, Continental even likened the financial structure supporting Virgin to the shady web of partnerships behind Enron.
The resistance is perhaps understandable: With fuel prices falling and the number of full flights rising, the industry is set to make a solid profit in 2007 after hemorrhaging money for years. The last thing it needs is another low-cost rival.
Reid says the big carriers are employing protectionist arguments to keep a potent new competitor on the ground. Promising lower fares, better service, and more than 1,000 new jobs, Virgin America has won widespread support in California, ranging from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to the San Francisco Giants.
"In the old school of airlines, we're everybody's nightmare," says Reid. "They want to kill a powerful new airline in its infancy. Maybe they need to pay attention to what their customers are saying about their level of service."
Continental spokesman David Messing responds that his airline is merely seeking to require Virgin to comply with existing laws lest it gain an unfair advantage by having unlimited access to foreign capital. "Putative low-fare carriers come and go," says Messing. "We compete with them quite well. There have been many of them that haven't had the same issue of foreign ownership and control, and the welcome mat is out."
In fact, Congress is the real bogeyman in blocking Virgin America's path. Arguing that it would increase the flow of capital to a troubled industry, the DOT has been trying for years to relax the industry's antiquated foreign-ownership rules, only to face a bipartisan political outcry warning that any change poses a threat to national security and U.S. jobs.
Complaining that bureaucrats were usurping congressional authority, lawmakers - in the time-honored way of Washington - threatened to cut department funding. Struck on the head with this two-by-four, the DOT officials late last year withdrew a proposal to allow more involvement by foreign investors whose countries signed "open skies" agreements giving American carriers better access to their own markets.
Nonetheless, with his revised proposal, Reid believes Virgin America's uphill battle for DOT approval is winnable. "I cannot conceive of a reason to deny this application," he says. Just in case, he's trying to turn up the heat with a populist outcry. The airline's Web page is collecting online petition signatures and offering coffee mugs, stickers and T-shirts bearing the slogan LET VA FLY. But for the time being, Virgin America remains locked in a bureaucratic holding pattern.

When a disaster suddenly strikes it can be frightening for
everyone, including your pet. The best thing you can do for you and
your pet's safety is to be prepared, develop a plan for
emergencies, and have it ready before the disaster strikes.
Planning ahead is the key to keeping yourself and your pet safe
before, during, and after a disaster.
"Before a disaster, it is important to insure that all your
animals are identified within a system that will allow you two to
be reunited if separated," said Wesley Bissett, assistant professor
at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine &
Biomedical Sciences (CVM). "Identification can come in a variety of
ways, such as collars or microchips. Collars may be less expensive
but they are much easier to lose, whereas microchips may be more
expensive but provide the advantage of being permanently within the
animal. You should also try to keep a photo of you and your pet
together to verify ownership."
When preparing for a disaster, it is imperative that all of your
pet's vaccinations are current. "If you do not typically have your
dog vaccinated for Bordetella, or kennel cough, consider doing so
as storm season approaches," said Bissett. "This is disease
prevention in case your pet is checked into an animal shelter."
When packing emergency supplies for your pet remember to store
at least a one-week supply of pet food to keep the pet's GI tract
from becoming upset, and enough water to meet you and your pet's
needs for up to three days. If you must evacuate the area, make
sure to grab your pet's food & water bowls before leaving.
"If your pet is on a prescription for a chronic illness, keep at
least a two-week supply of medication as well as a copy of the
pet's medical records," said Bissett. "It may be difficult to have
prescriptions re-filled in an emergency situation. Also, make sure
you have a kennel or crate to transport your pet in case of an
During a disaster, it is important to follow a pre-written
strategy to ensure you and your pet's safety. This not only saves
valuable time during the disaster but can also aid in remembering
important details of the event afterwards. "It is also important to
heed all evacuation recommendations and orders," said Bissett. "If
the number of animals that you will be evacuating will require
multiple trips, plan ahead and leave early!"
"If your pet is injured during a disaster immediately seek
veterinary medical help, which in many cases is available as part
of the local or state response," said Bissett. "If help is not
instantly available, perform first aid until help arrives."
