- - Let them roll with colic?
Let them roll with colic? I'm currently studying a cert 4 in sport coaching equestrian and reading through the horse health section it said when a horse is colic king to let it roll:shock: They say that a horse has more danger of hurting it's leg whilst rolling then twisting a gut. When did this happen???? |
I heard the same thing from our vet when the pony coliced a few months ago!. |
News to me. Someone needs to post some medical proof substantiating that:? I can understand a mild rolling, like when a horse just rolls to itch but, how does one know that won't turn into the violent thrashing that will lead to a twisted gut? Like people, horses have very different pain tolerance levels. Many years ago, I had to two horses colic from drinking the icy creek water ---- I had just filled their buckets with warm water that I lugged from the house and I was happpaaaay:shock: Anyway, the mare assumed the "giving birth" position until the belly ache past. The gelding started thrashing and I had literally had to beat his hind end to get him up and walking. The vet came right out and all ended well. Here were two horses who handled colic very differently. For my part, if the horse is thrashing? I'm getting it up if I have to beat it half to death for putting me thru that agony, regardless of what New Medicine might say. That being said, I put a lot of effort into avoiding colic. I've only had one other colic issue since that biggee and that was 15 years ago. <quietly knocking on wood, since we went from 63 degrees Sunday to 19 degrees this morning>:? |
my vet says you dont have to walk them if they are calm, and they can lay down as long as they dont thrash and roll. never have i heard to let them roll though. |
I think we should not confuse allowing a horse to go out and have a good roll in the sand or mud which is in fact good for many things including their back, with the horse who is collicky and is out in the pasture showing signs of discomfort. Rolling to relieve an itch is one thing but rolling and thrashing because of pain is another. Its common sense I would think. :)) |
I was not confused. The pony almost died but he said he doesn't have a problem with them rolling around so long as they don't hurt themselves when colicing. |
We always let them stay down if that is what they want to do. Rolling isn't allowed but laying there is. |
We always keep our colicing horses moving by walking them. I have had many colic, but not one has died (knock on wood). We do it old school I guess. But if they are up and moving, they do not have a chance to roll. |
I have never ever heard of a vet telling a owner to let their horse roll from colic, always keep them up and walking, you do not want them to twist a gut. I have worked for 2 equine vets and several small animal vets, and grew up around a standardbred race track and only had one horse in my lifetime that colic as a 4 yr. old and lived to be 32 yrs. old. Colic can be deadly if not treated correctly.......... I am old school, and if I had a horse colic and a vet told me to let it lay down or roll I'd be looking for a NEW VET........................ As for a horse rolling any other time, it is good for them to roll, they alignment their spines by rolling, and itch their backs. |
730 Attachment(s) Ahh no!!! Rolling when in colic leads to a twisted gut. Saw it with my own eyes and she lived because we made her get up.. but another one was thrashing all night and the owner wasn't strong enough to get the horse back up, so he died from a twisted gut :( The lady I used to work for would always keep them moving, or put them in a trailer and cart them around to encourage them to poop or pee. Not sure why, but all I DO know is rolling if colicing is VERY bad. As for rolling on other occasions, another benefit is the mud/dirt helps to keep off flies and keeps the horse cool. Also it makes them smell like their herd again, instead of a strange thing. |

Target is apologizing in full-page newspaper ads for a massive cyber-security breach. Hackers stole the credit card numbers of 40 million Target shoppers over the holiday season. And on Friday, the retailer acknowledged that the names, mailing addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of at least 70 million customers were also stolen. Neiman Marcus has also admitted it was a victim of hacking but has not said how many customers were affected. And according to Reuters, three other well-known U.S. retailers were the recent targets of similar breaches.
For more on just how this hacking works, I'm joined by Mark Rasch. He's a former Justice Department prosecutor for cyber crimes. Mark, welcome to the program.
MARK RASCH: Thank you.
BLOCK: And technically, help us understand how the payment card data was taken? What happens?
RASCH: Well, so far, Target has not released any explicit details on how it was taken. But it seems to have been taken from two different places. One is from the point-of-sale terminal. That's the place where you swipe your credit card. They were able to scrape data off of there. And the second place is from inside Target itself, where they store your name, your address and your email address.
BLOCK: OK. I want to ask you about that term. You're scraping data. What does that mean? What happens there?
RASCH: You have data stored on your credit card, on the magnetic stripe. And it's got to be read by a machine to get into, say, Target's computer system. So it's read into the machine at this point-of-sale terminal when you hand your card over and it's swiped. It's stored in something called RAM, random access memory. And the computer hackers have come up with something called a RAM scraper, and what it does is sucks up that data and sends it to the hackers.
BLOCK: The data is supposed to be encrypted, though, right?
RASCH: It has to be read first and then encrypted. So the key for the hackers is to get it before it gets encrypted. And that's why they're using these RAM scrapers.
BLOCK: We mentioned the additional information that we now know was stolen besides the credit card numbers, all the personal information - names, addresses, phone numbers. What would that allow hackers to do?
RASCH: If you have a lot of personal information about somebody, then you can do more than just commit credit card fraud. You can actually become those people, so you can get new credit in their name. You can apply for mortgages and bank loans in their name, and that's identity theft and identity fraud. That's much more serious than simple credit card fraud.
BLOCK: Help us understand how the black market in these credit card numbers works. Once the information is stolen, what happens to it?
RASCH: The problem for hackers is now they have a bunch of credit card numbers, and they want to turn that into money. So what they do is they will sell the credit card numbers on the black market through these hacker or carder websites, C-A-R-D-E-R. And people will buy them, and they'll buy them based upon whether they're a gold card or a platinum card and what the credit limit is and what bank issued it and whether it's a U.S. bank and they have different values. So people will buy the cards. And once they buy the cards, they'll turn them into actual physical plastic cards all over the world, buy goods, buy services, then sell those on the black market as well. So it's a fairly sophisticated operation.
BLOCK: Who's running this black market?
RASCH: Well, there are lots of people. A lot of it comes out of eastern Europe. A lot of it coming out of the former Soviet Republics. But even within the fencing - that is to turn the goods that you buy at a Best Buy into money - that can happen anywhere in the world, typically Southeast Asia, Africa and South America.
BLOCK: And for investigators, how do you go about trying to shut this market down?
RASCH: Well, there's two ways you're going to investigate this. One is to look at the Target store - when do they get hacked, how do they get hacked, how did the data get out. And the second one is follow the money backwards, so you see where the products that were bought with the stolen cards are coming from and work your way backwards. Hopefully that's how you catch these guys.
BLOCK: Is there much of a history of successful prosecution? I mean, if all of this is as open as you seem to say it is, with these websites where you can trade in these numbers, it would seem like people should be able to shut this down.
RASCH: To a great extent, U.S. law enforcement is playing a game of Whack-A-Mole. We catch one, and a dozen more pop up. But there have been successful prosecutions and there are people in jail in the United States and around the world for participating in these carder activities. You only catch a small percentage of them. And with tens of millions of credit card numbers floating around, they have a big incentive not to get caught and a lot of resources with which they can hide.
BLOCK: Mark Rasch is a former cybercrime prosecutor at the Justice Department. Mark, thanks for coming in.
RASCH: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Posted Mon 20th of April 2009
Changed to protect the guilty
Here's one of my early post from when I first started writing. I wish I knew this site back then.
I had purchased the surveillance camera years earlier with perfectly good intentions, but as I watched my fifteen year old stepson undress I knew in my heart I was doing something wrong. See as a single mom with a little girl I used the camera to keep an eye on her while I worked at home on the computer. I had not even thought of it for a long time now that she was older.
That was until that day when I thought let me see if this thing still works and I opened the program that allowed me to see the picture from the hidden camera in the bathroom. To my surprise John was just coming into the room, and an even bigger surprise was a strange desire I had to watch. I watched secretly as he unzipped and took a pee. The camera was facing his back so I couldn't really see anything, but I knew I had started something very unwise and perverted in someway.
John moved in a year ago when him and is mother started to fight all the time. I had gotten remarried to his dad five years ago so I saw him every weekend and had grown to love him as a son and he was really a part of the family. My daughter loved him very much and they got along great most of the time.
That night I sat fidgeting on the edge of my bed knowing I should have thrown that camera away that afternoon, but I couldn't bring myself to it, I had a perverse need to see him one more time. I knew shortly John was going to have his shower before bed but I was hoping I would come to my senses before it was too late.
As the program opened I was as excited as a school girl getting felt up for the first time and very nervous about what I was about to do. I only saw darkness at first, but then the bathroom light popped on and John entered. I could hardly sit still as I watched him take off his shirt, I wondered what was making me want to see a young boy get naked, especially one who was my stepson, but I justified it as simple curiosity.
John dropped his pants and underwear all in one downward motion. His firm but flexed as he stepped out of them and kicked them to the side. My guts twisted inside me as he turned around and I saw his young cock and balls hanging down between his legs. I was shocked and discussed at the feelings I felt as I watched his young flesh. I turned off the monitor hoping I could stop. My heart raced as I hit the button to turn it back on and then almost stopped as the picture came back.
John's cock was now standing straight out in front of him as he looked in the mirror. He was at the closest point to the camera so I had a crystal clear view of his solid shaft as it slowly twitched upward until it was fully erect. Why was he getting hard I wondered as I glued my face to the screen. Thank God Janis had gone to bed and my husband was away because I could not turn away.
John sat on the toilet with his legs open wide and started to rub up and down the length of his pole. I had a great view of his balls and they were tight already like he was close to an orgasm.
John poured baby oil over his stomach and what seemed to be an excessively larger member while lubing himself up with the other hand. His tight muscles and hard rode glistened as the oil spread over them. I felt like I was going to faint from all the strange feeling rushing through my mind and body. Could I actually be excited by this, was I loosing my senses?
I forced myself to look down and catch my breath, hoping I would look back and none of this had really happened, but when I looked back John was frantically stroking his long dick and I couldn't look away again. I had never seen anyone jerk off, especially not a teenage boy and I was fascinated.
The boy stood up and thrust his hips forward to meet the downward stroke of his fist and cum shot from him at light speed. The first three of four jets of his juice flew out of the view of the camera, and seemed like they would have hit the door five feet away.
I felt sick to my stomach as I sat watching my stepson milk the last drops of fluid from his semi-erect rod. I turned off the monitor and laid on my bed crying wishing I had not done this sick thing, what kind of mother am I.
I tossed and turned that whole night with pictures of John's young body flashing through my mind while questioning my worthiness as a parent. When I would fall asleep I would awake suddenly from nightmares that involved me watching and touching boys. I finally went to sleep at 2AM and when I woke up it all seemed like a bad dream.
After that night I felt strange around John, but not in a bad way, it was like I felt closer to him. I had a different feeling of love for him and longed to see him when he was away at his mother's. I didn't lust after him, but I wanted to be near him and our relationship became closer and we hugged more. I would some times hold him tight against my body and he seemed to enjoy it and he would touch me as he went past and kiss me good bye more often.
I managed not to spy on John for a few weeks, but one night I was sitting there typing on the computer and I heard the bathroom door close. My curiosity got the best of me and I started the program. As the picture came into view there he was stroking his cock again, except this time he was standing facing the mirror with his cock just two feet from the hidden camera. It was as if I could reach out and touch it as his fist slid up and down his long tool. Wow it looks even bigger than last time and I wondered what a boy needs such a big dick for. How big is that thing going to be when he grows up, I thought, or maybe it's as big as it gets by now, I really didn't know but his cock seemed to be almost as big as his father's fine cock.
John's purple head was much fatter than the steel flesh rod it sat on and as his hand slid down over it, it looked as if it popped through his grip. I was glued to the screen hoping he would stay right there until he came. I could tell from the frantic jerking and his hip thrusts he would blow soon and I so wanted to watch it fly from his dick. I unconsciously gasped as his dick spurted a huge stream of white fluid, then another and another. I couldn't believe so much was coming out of him and my mouth watered as he pumped each gob out onto the counter top.
I again found myself disgusted with my behavior and wondered why I was doing this, what kind of person wants to see this? I must be a sick pervert. I had been very troubled by these thought since that first night I watch him but there wasn't anyone I could talk to about this, so I was filled with remorse and guilt most of the time. I wondered if any of my friends were secretly watching their sons, or even worse, now I was getting excited seeing him masturbate and I had urges that were nothing short of incest.
Later that night I found myself in the kid's bathroom and I couldn't help but look to see what evidence there might be. There on the mirror right in front of where John had been stroking himself was a splatter stain. I almost slapped myself when the thought to lick it came into my mind. I went back to bed and thought I might have to get a head doctor to find out what was happening to me.
Over the next few months I constantly reminded myself that I was never going to act out on any of my thoughts and I tried to not spy as much as I could resist. I kept telling myself that these things would pass and everything would go back to normal someday.
One night after a few weeks without allowing myself to watch John in the bathroom I thought I might be over it, but when I heard the door close I suddenly had to watch. I went to the computer and started the viewer but was surprised to see my daughter instead of John. I didn't expect this but I kept watching anyway. It had been a while since I had seen Janis without her clothes on and I was amazed to see that her pubic hair had filled in completely. The last time I saw her nude she was probably ten and just had some peach fuzz down there. Since then she has stayed private about her body as I would expect.
Well there she was and I wasn't turning away, but was fascinated seeing her nude. She was listening to the radio while getting ready to shower. She started doing this nasty little dance with her hand circling just above her pubic hair while pointing at the mirror. I was kind of surprised by my little girl's behavior but what was I going to do tell her to stop doing what I saw you doing while I was hoping to watch John jerk off.
I tried to think back to when I was twelve as I watched her but I couldn't remember being that sexy. Her ass looked like that of a fifteen or sixteen year old and her breast were much larger than I expected with dark red crowns popping out on top.
Then she did something that I know I never did as a little girl, she stood in front of the toilet, feet apart, leaning back with her hips pushed forward and peed standing up like a guy would. Then she wiped with her hand and got in the shower. I had created a real situation here knowing things about my baby that I can not tell her how I know them. But really what bothered me most was that I was still fixed on the screen unable to tear myself away even after she went into the shower.
After Janis came out from behind the shower curtain I noticed right away she had no hair, I mean she had completely shaven her pussy. My head was spinning wondering why a twelve year old would do that.
You might think that any normal mother would have found a way to stop this behavior but I honestly didn't know how, I had no idea what had gotten into me. After seeing Janis I became very interested in her friends and what stages of development they were at. I made sure that whenever she had friends over I recorded all their visits to the bathroom. I also encouraged showers during sleepovers.
I had been desperately trying not to spy on my son because I knew it could only lead to something worse and I was very afraid of what could happen to my life if I ended up acting out on my desires. I found myself touching him and holding him close hoping to feel his cock stiffen against my body.
Ok this is where things get really strange and I want you to know I am in no way proud of anything I have done and don't suggest you do them either. I guess this is some how a cry out to someone who can understand the feelings I am experiencing.
My husband was away on business and I was sitting at the computer looking over some of the captured video of Janis and her friends. I was comparing the amount of hair, the size of their firm little tits and hoping to see one of them doing something nasty.
I knew someone was in the bathroom right now and I was hoping it was John. I couldn't resist anymore. I opened the viewer and what I saw was beyond my ability to comprehend. There was John standing in front of Janis who was on her knees sucking his cock. The range of emotions I felt were off the scale at both ends.
I felt a rage and I was going to run in there and make them stop, what mother wouldn't want to protect her baby from that? But at the same time I was excited to see someone doing what I had wanted to do since the first time I saw him stroking his long rod. I think I felt jealous in someway that it wasn't me receiving his tool deep in my throat. What kind of a mother sits back and watches her little girl give her step brother head? I'll tell you what kind, the messed up kind of mother I was becoming. I sat there and watched every moment and enjoyed it. I was so excited seeing his cock sliding deep in her stretched mouth. Each time he slid in, her cheeks puffed out as she almost gagged. As I watched him explode in her little mouth I could almost taste him, I so wished it was me receiving his hot cum.
My sweet little girl kneeled with cum dripping from her chin as she swallowed his load. I had to wonder how sweet she really was with her shaved cunt and her sexy little nude dances, maybe she had made this happen and not John. What was I to do now, I knew terrible things that I should not know, and my heart cried out for my babies innocents while my lust cried out for my stepson's hot flesh.
For two days my lust smoldered as I picture the scene in the bathroom, but I still had no idea what I was going to do, what I wanted to do could ruin my life, what I should do would expose my perverted spying and doing nothing could cause me to go insane.
That Sunday morning after breakfast Janis left for her friend's house and John was cleaning up the dishes and I was sitting at the table in just a robe. I wasn't wearing anything under it, the whole morning while making and serving breakfast I was so excited knowing I was that close to being naked in front of John. One slip of the tie and he would see my D-cups or one wrong move and he would see my bush, I had to do something.
I moved behind my stepson and right as I got to him I opened my robe and pressed my flesh against his back and reached around to the front like I was helping with the dishes. He was pinned against the sink so he couldn't turn around but he wasn't trying to anyway he just said thanks for breakfast.
He must have some idea that my hard nipples sticking into his back are uncovered. I thought he must be wondering why I have him pinned; I wondered if he could smell my over heated pussy. I thought if I suddenly pulled away I could spin and close my rode and he would never know what had actually happened. But before I could come to my senses I noticed he was rubbing against the front edge of the sink. I didn't know for sure but I thought he was humping the counter. I took a chance and reach down as I pulled him slightly back and placed my hand between him and the counter and pressed back against him. His cock was rock hard standing straight up. He continued to slowly rock and hump my hand.
I reached inside his boxer shorts and cupped his hot flesh stick as he continued to hump my hand. His steel cock felt so good on my flesh. I turned him around and pressed him close against my naked front while grabbing his ass with both hands. I worked my hands down the back of his shorts and slid my hands over his firm ass cheeks and up and down the crack of his ass. His young but felt so good in my hands.
John had reached around and was now holding my ass tight and pulling us together as he continued his humping motion now against my stomach. I pictured my daughter sucking him as I dropped to my knees, lowering his shorts as I went down. I had to bend his steel rod down towards my face to get it in my mouth. I tasted my boy's hot flesh for the first time. Hum, it tasted good as it slid to the back of my mouth. I fondled his ass with one hand and cupped his young balls with the other as I sucked him in and out of my mouth. It was even better than I had imagined all those times I watched him beat off in the bathroom.
I wanted it to last but I also wanted his hot juice to fill my mouth as it had Janis's so I sucked harder and faster as I played with his asshole. John's frantic movements gave notice that he would soon give me what I needed. I sucked him all the way to the base and then drew him all the way out to the tip and then back. With a slight grunt and one last thrust forward my boy filled my mouth with his hot sperm. I came without even touching myself as he unloaded squirt after squirt inside my mouth.
I swallowed hard as I rose up to stand in front of him. John raised his hands up my stomach cupping a breast in each hand; he lifted them and moved them together. He moved in to suck them, but as he did I saw him for who he was, a young boy and my stepson. I moved back and motioned for him to stop, and then I told him I needed time, I was going to think and then we would talk.
I turned and walked to my room filled with lust, love and fear wondering what I had done and what I was going to do next. I cried while searching myself for answers but could not find any. Finally after what seemed like hours John knocked and came into my room. He sat on the edge of the bed with me and we talked about all the reason what I did was so wrong. John tried to convince me that it wasn't so bad, that he enjoyed it and nobody ever had to know. He told me he had been having feeling for me for over a year and lately they were so strong.
After much talking I realized I could not reason with a young boy's lust and I gave up but I made my stand that we couldn't do that again and I was wrong. I changed the subject to his experience with sex and after a long talk out of the blue I asked him if he had ever had sex with Janis. I knew right away from the shocked look that he had, but I waited patiently for his answer. Finally he said he had, and started apologizing and tried to explain how sexy she acted around him and they couldn't help it. John told me that they first did it after her eleventh birthday.
I told him that they shouldn't do that anymore and that we would both have to keep these secrets. I was sure they wouldn't stop but I couldn't deal with that now I had just committed adultery with my husband's son who was I to make them stop fucking his sister.
I spent the rest of the day in my room alone thinking about what had happened and thinking about how I could be around John and his father after what I did. I was glad he wasn't coming back for a week which would give me time to adjust to the new life I had created.
Late that night as I went by Janis's room I heard a noise that I knew could only be one thing. I eased the door open and saw Janis's spread wide open with her legs in the air. John was on top fucking her as hard and as fast as he could. I sat down on the edge of the bed and watched his young ass jack hammering my little girl's body. Again I wished it was me and jealousy flared up, but I sat quietly watching their young lust acted out and listening to the sound of their sex. I could tell Janis was having orgasm after orgasm has John's hard rod pounded into her. Finally he jerked and went completely stiff as he emptied his seed inside his step sister. His ass and leg muscles were hard and glistening with his sweat. I gently touched his ass wondering how good it would feel to have his young cock stiff and exploding inside my body.
He realized my hand was touching him so he turned and look at me. I had moved my hand to cup is his balls as they spit out the last of their juice. Janis's eyes were big as saucers as she looked at me, expecting me to go ballistic. Instead I said young lady you know you are old enough to get pregnant don't you? My hand still on John's balls and my thumb pressing against his asshole, Janis couldn't see my hand as she stammered, no mom I can't I have the pill.
As I stood I said we'll talk about this tomorrow and I winked at John as I walked away. I closed the door most of the way but listen outside the door as John encouraged her not to worry as he tried to get her to fuck more. I peeked in the door and Janis was now on top of John, he saw me in the door but she didn't so I motioned to him to be quite and keep going.
I watched as his dick slid in and out of my girl, her firm round ass bouncing up and down on her lover. I quietly moved to the end of the bed so I could watch as John's wet cock moved in and out of Janis. With her bald young vagina spread around his dick, John knew he was putting on a show for me so he was giving her his all.
John turned her over and started fucking her while she knelled which gave me a great look at his young balls swinging back and forth as he pumped her from behind. I wanted to lick his ass and hold his balls as he plowed her tiny hole but I knew she would not be able to handle that so I just enjoyed their sex. As he pumped another load inside my daughter I slipped out of the room and went to bed.
The next day I kept Janis home from schools so we could have the day to talk about what she had been doing and where and how she got birth-control. Finally late in the morning as we sat on her bed she started to open up to me. I wondered if she had told John that his father had been fucking her for three years and that's why her pussy was so easy for him to penetrate that first time. My heart broke as she told me that he had put her on birth control right after she got her period so he could continue to cum inside her.
How could I not know this was going on I thought but then realized that I had been sucking his sons dick just yesterday and he would never know. I wanted to be mad but what a hypocrite that would make me. How could he fuck a nine year old, what kind of a man was I married to? Somehow it seemed worse than what I had done but then again I watched my step son fuck my daughter so what kind of woman was he married to.
Janis told me it was ok as tears ran down my face. She assured me it wasn't that bad, that he was always very gentle with her and he loved her very much. She said he had not been with her recently and I should never say anything to him about it. I didn't know for sure what I was going to do but I made sure she knew that I loved her and any time she wanted out of it she just had to tell me and I would leave him. She begged me not to let that happen because she was happy and that we need to just keep our secrets.
Later that day I moved the camera into her room so I could watch and see who was having sex with her. I made love to John that night and we are still lovers to this day. We all keep our secrets and everyone seems happy, but in the back of my mind I am scared that everything will blow up one day.

It's a shame that Janis shaved her pussy.

Uh, why don't the others try helping Penner catch some fish instead of sitting around discussing it?
Those two little fish were so sad.
It was me. I let the dogs out.
Two miniscule fish are called "bait". But they ate them instead.
So much for Jeff I-was-a-major-league-second-baseman Kent
My vote is on Katie going. Probst was going to town on her again tonight and she was already so close to being voted out last week.
You could be the juiciest, most ripe peach, but there is still going to be someone who doesn't like peaches.
Really! I'm not impressed with the survival skills by either tribes. If you're hungry, instead of sitting around carping about it, go foraging for food in the woods. There are plants they can pick and animals they can catch. They can also go fishing. If I was Jonathan, I wouldn't have even bothered to bring back those little minnows. I would have stayed out until I caught at least one decent-sized fish. And I wouldn't have shared my catch with all of the complainers sitting on their asses back at camp.

Whew! Penner squeaked by on that one. Stupid editing...I wonder why the guys changed their minds and went with Katie?

The Las Vegas Review-Journal on Friday named a new publisher to replace longtime publisher Sherman Frederick.
Bob Brown, advertising director of the newspaper since 2001, was named publisher of the newspaper effective immediately.
Frederick also stepped down effective immediately as chief executive officer of Stephens Media, owner of the Review-Journal. He will be replaced by Michael Ferguson, the company's current chief operating officer.
Frederick will remain with Stephens Media in a consultant role and write a weekly column for Stephens Media newspapers.
Stephens Media owner Warren Stephens announced Frederick's new role Friday .
"I am pleased that Sherm will remain with the company," Stephens said. "Sherm has had a long and distinguished journalism career. I am glad we will be able to retain his writing talents for the newspaper."
"It's been a hard summer for me," said Frederick, who underwent back-to-back prostate and heart bypass surgeries. "I'm looking forward to a more measured pace for a while, as well as my new duties with the company."
Frederick is a member of the Nevada Newspaper Hall of Fame.
Ferguson said Friday that he was honored to accept the new assignment as chief executive officer of Stephens Media.
"I look forward to continuing the Stephens Media tradition of producing quality newspapers that are essential to their readers and the communities they serve," Ferguson said.
Ferguson has been with Stephens Media or its predecessors since 1968. Ferguson is a graduate of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
Stephens Media is a nationwide newspaper publisher with operations from Hawaii to North Carolina.
Ferguson, who appointed Brown as publisher, said, "I think Bob brings remarkable skills and talents to his new position."
Brown is a member of the board of trustees of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and the boards of Opportunity Village, Special Olympics of Southern Nevada and the Better Business Bureau of Las Vegas.
"I am excited by this new opportunity," Brown said. "I look forward to leading the Review-Journal on its mission to be the pre-eminent source of news and information in Nevada. I think readers and advertisers will be excited by the changes in store."
Brown was previously an advertising executive with McClatchy Newspapers, Sacramento, Calif. He is a graduate of the University of California-Berkeley. Brown is married to Melinda Brown and they have four children, Sean, Sarah, Nicholas and William.
The Review-Journal also announced Friday that Thomas Mitchell, editor of the newspaper, would be stepping down from his position as editor. Mitchell will become senior opinion editor for the newspaper. An announcement on Mitchell's replacement as editor is expected soon.
The general manager's position at the Review-Journal was eliminated as part of a cost reduction restructuring. As a result, Allan Fleming, previous general manager, left the company Friday.

Hell hath no fury like a fanbase scorned. From Bryan Singer's "X-Men" abandoning their traditional yellow spandex to Jennifer Lawrence being too blonde and pale to play Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games," internet fandom is not one to lay down silently when a filmmaker tinkers with iconic elements of their beloved franchises. Most recent to attract the ire of a group of fans was Michael Bay, who gave an interview over the weekend where he said that his upcoming live-action/CGI reboot of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" would reimagine the reptilian heroes as members of an alien race.
As soon as NinjaTurtlesAreNowFromAnotherWorldGate broke, the internet exploded, with several petitions appearing from outraged fans who are horrified at the change in the origins for the new film, which Bay is producing. Jonathan Liebesman ("Battle: Los Angeles," "Wrath Of The Titans") is directing the script, written by "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" scribes Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec. Even Robbie Rist, who voiced Michelangelo in the original live-action movie, weighed in, describing the change as "the rape of our childhood memories" (can we please, please call a moratorium on that insensitive fucking analogy already? There's honestly no better way to get us to disregard any opinion you might ever hold than by using that rape in this context).
Well, Bay's never one to fail to appease the fans, and has taken to his Shoot For The Edit messageboards (via Movies.com) to defend the decision, and to ask fans for a little faith. The director wrote "Fans need to take a breath, and chill. They have not read the script. Our team is working closely with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles to help expand and give a more complex back story. Relax, we are including everything that made you become fans in the first place. We are just building a richer world."
Bay raises a decent point here. Over-protective fans are frequently horrified at any changes to their beloved source material, even when there's a valid reason for making them. To whit: McG's bold, surprising ending to "Terminator: Salvation," which would have been by far the most interesting thing in that disaster, leaked to the internet while the film was in production, and the resulting uproar persuaded the helmer to reshoot an alternate version as half-baked and compromised as the rest of the movie. Bay is at least sticking to his guns, and it's possible that fans might be won over when they discover exactly what the filmmakers have planned.
That being said, while it pains us to pass up an opportunity to make fun of grown men who get this angry about a group of pizza-eating humanoid turtles, we do sympathize. Messing with an origin story this heavily is a little like having Batman becoming a crime-fighter after being bitten by a radioactive bat, and doesn't bode well when it comes to an understanding of the material. But you know, we'd cross the street to avoid a theater showing this movie, so we're perhaps not the best people to ask. After all, where was the outrage of TMNT fans when they hired the guy who made "Battle: Los Angeles" to direct? Get your priorities straight, people… Like it or not, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will hit theaters on December 25th, 2013.

We have all heard of the match between a Russian (or Estonian) boxer (or wrestler) and Choki Motobu (Motobu "Saru") in Kyoto in the 1920s. The boxer had been defeating Judo and Ju Jitsu people and basically putting down the Japanese. Up comes Motobu Sensei and in pretty short order, the boxer was either knocked out or killed, depending on who writes the story. But Motobu won, and Karate, an obscure art from Okinawa, became famous overnight (about three years later when an article appeared in King Magazine).
But here is my point. It was not a matter of life or death or the last resort. Motobu was apparently fighting for pride (of the Japanese or perhaps his own). I tend to think that it might have been a staged event, but in any case, it showed Karate as a spectacular thing rather than the form of self defense that it is.
If I were Motobu Sensei, I would not have fought the boxer. Now if the boxer attacked me on a dark street, that is another thing. But I would not accept a public challenge. And what if Motobu did kill the boxer? Was that justified? I don't think that the boxer was killing people.
You have to be careful about legends and "great" events. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of the moment. To me, wrong is wrong and this was not a good use of Karate.
My own form of Karate traces part of its roots to Motobu. Still, that does not mean that we should glorify the sensational and unnecessary use of Karate.
A hand is a treasure in the pocket.

Ravens' vaunted defense is struggling early
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The numbers say everything you need to know about the Ravens over the past 12 years.
Top three in points allowed per game, total defense, takeaways, rushing yards per game, third-down conversion, opponent's quarterback rating, interceptions, and interceptions for touchdowns.
Since 1999, only 27 players have rushed for 100 yards on them.
The defense has scored at least one touchdown in each of the franchise's 16 seasons.
So seeing the Ravens in the bottom third of the NFL in defense through the first two games of the year is puzzling.
They have allowed 808 total yards (258 on the ground), sixth-most in the league. The most obvious reason is the absence of linebacker Terrell Suggs, who is out indefinitely with an Achilles' tendon injury suffered in the offseason.
They had a 17-7 halftime lead on the Eagles last week, and even forced four turnovers, but they couldn't keep Michael Vick from scrambling and the Eagles from rallying to save face at home, 24-23.
For a defense that has been the NFL's gold standard for years, there is much room for improvement as they prepare to play the Patriots Sunday night.
"Anybody, wherever you start at, you can always fix things here and there and make things better," said veteran linebacker Ray Lewis. "At the end of the year, every year, is when you pay attention to stats. Trust me, we've never gotten into stats early.
"That's why, when people talk about our defense or whatever they want to say at the beginning of the year, we always say, 'Find us at the end of the year and you know where we're going to be.' "
The absence of Suggs, whose 14 sacks and 70 tackles made him the face of the defense last season, is a crucial factor. But they also lost linebacker Jarrett Johnson, who signed a four-year deal with the Chargers.
"I think people realize that we don't have Terrell Suggs outside and Jarrett Johnson," said defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. "So I think they tried to test our younger guys last week with Philly, but I think our guys did great up front.
"We're not used to having teams try to run on us as much, and a lot of it starts up front. So if we can stop that run early and just try to pressure the quarterback better, I think once we can do that, our defense can be more dominant."
Former Patriot BenJarvus Green-Ellis, now with the Bengals, rushed for 91 yards against Baltimore in the opener, and Vick and LeSean McCoy combined for 115 yards last week.
The biggest red flag last week was Eagles tight end Brent Celek catching eight passes for 157 yards, including a 24-yarder on which he hurdled safety Ed Reed.
Even though Aaron Hernandez is out with an ankle injury, Rob Gronkowski remains one of the Patriots' biggest weapons, and they also signed Kellen Winslow Jr. to help at tight end. "We have to prepare like he's not going to be out," said cornerback Lardarius Webb . "They went and got them another tight end, just as good as the other one.
"So we have to prepare for the Patriots like they're the Patriots. They have Tom Brady, the best quarterback in the game. So it's going to be a tough, tough game this week. It doesn't matter who's lined up at tight end. If you have No. 12 at quarterback, he'll make them all look good."
Our house
It has been so long since the Patriots played in Baltimore that Ravens coach John Harbaugh needed some verification.
"How many times have we played them at their place?" he said. "I can't believe you guys don't have that at your fingertips."
The Patriots haven't played in Baltimore since 2007. The last four meetings, including two playoff games, have been at Gillette Stadium. It's fair to say the Ravens have been dying to get the Patriots in their building.
"That will be different, right?" Harbaugh said.
Since 1996, they have faced each other eight times, with six of those games in Foxborough. The Patriots lead the series, 7-1 (1-1 in the postseason), and they won both games in Baltimore. But the Ravens have won 11 straight home games, the longest active streak in the league
Another streak worth noting: With Baltimore coming off a painful 24-23 loss to the Eagles, the Ravens are 13 for 13 in bounce-back games since 2009.
"When you win, you look at everything really hard and you try to build on it," Harbaugh said.

Wii ♥ therapy
ST. MARYS - Alice Kittel's hand wraps tightly around the white Wii remote as the fingers on her other hand push the buttons like a video game warrior.
With a hospital therapist beside her, the recent stroke victim raises her arm toward the 5-foot-wide television screen and watches her imaginary bowling ball take a disappointing curve to the left.
"The back swing is good for me, I really feel it in my shoulders," she says, as she slowly brings herself back to a straight position in her wheelchair.
Kittel of New Bremen is trying out a new type of therapy at the Inpatient Rehab Unit at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Marys. Therapists at the hospital are encouraging their patients to use the popular Nintendo Wii, which is finding its way into rehabilitation centers and nursing homes across the country.
Most Wii video games require use of the whole body, balance and hand-eye coordination as players operate a remote and/or a second controller called a nunchuk. Gamers hold onto the controller(s) and simulate their "Mii" player on the screen by throwing a bowling ball, batting a baseball or imitating whatever activity is being played.
The beauty of the Wii, as therapists see it, is that most patients with injuries or illnesses can participate and benefit from the challenge.
"We can modify the games to whatever the patient needs," says Amy Wellman, an occupational therapist. "This is so good for motor coordination. It also uses a lot of cognitive (skills) to push the buttons."
Janet Wolford of Spencerville is recuperating from a total knee replacement surgery, and for the first time in her life she is bowling. It was the last thing she thought she'd be doing while in the hospital, she says with a grin.
"It's interesting and fun, a bit more intriguing than I thought it would be," she says.
Her opponent is Celina resident Carl Dirksen, who recently suffered a head injury. Although golfing is his true hobby, Dirksen appears a pro as he scores a spare nearly every frame. He's a bit unstable in his gait, so a therapist follows closely behind him as he makes a full approach to the television screen.
The therapists say their patients are getting much more than a workout with the Wii. It's a psychological boost, too, they believe.
"When they're doing something fun, they tend to forget about their pain and anxiety. It really takes their mind off it," Wellman says.
The Wii remains a hard-to-find item in stores. Hospital officials were on the lookout for one for months before 11-year-old Derek Moore of Delphos decided to donate his Wii system to the hospital's transitional unit. The youngster's mother is a nurse manager at the hospital.
Occupational therapist Shawn Kill, the obvious gaming guru of the therapy department, says he'd like to obtain a soon-to-be released Wii game that involves riding imaginary ski boards and whirling hula hoops. It could be a real aid to his patients who need help with peripheral vision and balance.
Kill says he wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo began developing games geared exclusively for rehab patients or anyone challenged with disabilities. Then it dawns on him that his idea could be a successful marketing plan and perhaps he's in the wrong business.
"Maybe I need to talk to somebody about this," he adds with a laugh.

HOUSTON – Changing old, mechanical city water meters to new electronic models could improve the accuracy of monthly water bills and save the city money, but it would cost the city more than $350,000 to make the switch.
The Houston Board of Mayor and Aldermen recently received the results of a test conducted by Empire Pipe, of Birmingham, Ala., showing the city could save money by providing more accurate water meter reading and reduce the time it takes to read meters from two weeks to one day.
"We came to you a year ago with a presentation and a study we just recently completed showed a 12 to 15 percent loss in reading accuracy using old meters," said Turner Pilsch, of Empire Pipe. "Most of the old, mechanical models just wear out and with time don't read accurately."
Pilsch said a test of one industrial meter in Houston showed a large difference in the amount of water used after a new meter was installed. Aldermen have repeatedly been approached by residents, churches and businesses concerned their meter might not be reading correctly.
The city of Houston has roughly 1,800 meters to read each month and Pilsch said a job that normally takes 10 to 15 days to complete could be done in one day.
Pilsch said the new meters allow an almost instant re-read if a customer needs it and usage data is stored at the meter for five months.
"These meters have an electronic device inside that allows us to just drive by and the computer in that vehicle reads the meter," said Pilsch. "You can find leaks quicker, you get a much more accurate reading and you can store this information electronically and use that data to determine peak water usage times and what parts of the community have special water use needs."
The new meters have a 20-year-warranty and Pilsch said the initial cost of approximately $360,000 for installation, materials, hardware and software could be amortized. He said the installation would take about three months.
Alderman Barry Springer questioned the warranty and asked if there were other towns using this system.
Pilsch said the battery in the meter determines the warranty. He said Verona, Hamilton, Greenwood, Gulfport and Winona have all gone to electronic water meters.
Mayor Stacey Parker said he wanted to get hard numbers from the city water department on estimated water loss and how quickly the city might recoup their investment. He also said the city needed to look at how this infrastructure improvement would be financed and how it would affect the city's budget.
The city has embarked on a number of water and sewer upgrades over the past two years including a complete mapping and survey of water mains and sewer lines this summer, renovating the city water tower this spring and installing new sewer lines in north Houston last winter.
The board took no action on the proposal.

shame u didnt stay in fiji longer! owell i wil. i see still tipping the fit waitresses and dealers! lol. looks like ur avin fun im outa this working farm in 7days b4 i go totally mad! talk soon take care viva las vegas
Viva Las Vegas!!
Trip Start
Mar 27, 2006
Trip End
Dec 03, 2006
I left Fiji at 11.30pm on Saturday and landed in L.A 3pm the same day. So because of the time difference I ended up arriving before I left, which is kind of weird. I was planning to stay in L.A for a night then head to Vegas the next day but the cheapest accommodation I could find in L.A was $50 for the night so I thought screw it, I can't wait any more and headed straight to Vegas. I got on the greyhound with some very shady looking characters (a couple who I'm sure must have just been released from prison) and made the 6 hour bus trip to Vegas. I must admit even though it was 2am by the time I arrived, I had only had about three hours sleep in two days, and I couldn't check in to the place I was staying at till 3pm, I couldn't wait to get go check out the casino's on the strip.
From the moment I arrived in Vegas I've been walking around with this stupid smirk on my face because I'm finally here. Now I've seen, heard and read quite a lot about Vegas but I still wasn't prepared for it. At first I found it kind of odd that the strip was so quiet on a Saturday night because I was expecting it to be packed. But as soon as I set foot inside the Bellagio it made sense why it was so dead outside because everyone was inside gambling and drinking. The only way I can describe Vegas is overwhelming. The first time I walked through the Bellagio I had to sit down. Not because I'm lazy and unfit. Well not just because of that. But also because of how over the top and extravagent everything is. Its an overload to the senses. The casino's themselves are so massive that I still haven't got used to it yet and trying to find the exit is a mission in itself. Which is my excuse for spending so long in them. I have still only been inside a handful of casinos and I can't describe it. You really have got to see it for yourselves to believe it. I ended up playing poker in the Bellagio until I could check into my room. Saw Gus Hansen playing poker in there probably winning or losing in a few hours more than most people earn in a year.
When I got into my room I was shocked again. When I booked it on the internet I looked for the cheapest place available in Vegas. It costs $25 a night and was advertised as no frills accommodation. With some of the hostels I've stayed in roughly the same price for sharing with 8 people I wasn't expecting much so couldn't believe it when I walked into the room with two king size beds, a T.V and en-suite all to myself! I actually thought I was put in the wrong room at first and if this is no frills I can't imagine what the places on the strip which charge $300 a night must have but I can't see what else you would need in your room or why in gods name you would pay that much. But then that's Vegas I suppose the statement "over the top" was created for a place like this. Made good use of my "no frills" accommodation by sleeping for 16 hours the first night.
With drinks absolutely free (minus a $1 tip for the stunning waitress') and gambling around the clock I'm in no rush to leave this place. I've always said that all cities are pretty much the same all over the world. Vegas is the exception. Even if you don't gamble there's still loads of shows and stuff you can see and do.
Up until now the poker's been going pretty steady and am up about $400 so far. It should have been more than that the in the first session but I lost a $500 pot to some guy going all in with A6 on a flop 346 I called with 99 and he hit a 6 on the turn to make him trips. Not much you can do about that though. Still a long way to go to make those millions yet...

...maybe that is pushing it a little bit.
Eventhough I do not have many years to compare it to, I've seen more winter-runs and heard of more winter-runs so far this November than any other. And they just arent being caught at terminal areas, they are being caught by bankies in the lower sections, the sledders, the driftboaters, the plunkers and even the confused (the dudes fishing for chums ). Hopefully this isn't a early season fluke and Oh Please, Oh Please may the wild fish follow suit!! Juro- I do not think you want to miss out on this March. You might just have to contend with high water as I think we've had more rainfall this November then last November-April combined. Ever notice there is never a happy median when it comes to water flows and rainfall???...there is either too little rain and the river's are piss low or there is too much rain (coupled with warm weather) and the rivers are at floodstage all winter? ...again I am probally being too optimisitc and am getting too excited!!! But I cant help it!!!

Ryan -
Your enthusiasm is greatly appreciated! Consider it almost definite that I will be swingin' a fly this spring on the waters of the PNW. In the 12 years I pounded the rivers for chrome, I recall years that started with a bang and ended with a fizzle, and vice-versa. Usually though when the runs are very strong across species through the year classes then it's an indication of a big run coming. I'm going to email you with an almost sure-fire spot and approach for nailing a November sea-lice chromer on a fly. Earliest I've landed such chromers is Nov 6th. Scales falling off, sea lice, mint on a black bunny rat fished on a tip. Hooked two fish within 10 casts here, brought two other friends during Nov / both hooked fresh winter runs on flies, one landed. I'd be all over it if I only could! Keep me informed please. |
Thanks Juro!
And there is no doubt, I'll keep you informed.

MOLLUSCA : NUDIBRANCHIA : Flabellinidae | SNAILS, SLUGS, ETC. |
Coryphella rufibranchialis |
Description: The body is translucent white in colour with opaque white pigment on the tips of the oral tentacles and in a broken line along the centre of the back which becomes continuous on the long tail. The cerata are numerous and arranged in clusters along the sides and back of the body, almost hiding the white centreline. They are filled with red or orange-red granular digestive gland. The cerata have a thin, sometimes incomplete, ring of white pigment below the tip. Typically about 15mm-25mm in length, but well-fed individuals may be larger.
Habitat: A common species in early spring at shallow exposed sites and deeper water which is exposed to tidal streams. The normal food is the hydroid Tubularia indivisa but other smaller hydroids are eaten by juvenile specimens. The spawn consists of a thread which is laid in a smooth spiral like a clock spring.
Distribution: A northern species in the British Isles, occurring round Scotland and in the Irish Sea south to the Isle of Man, but apparently absent from the western coasts of Ireland and England. Further distribution includes Norway and the Atlantic coast of America.
Key Identification Features:

Mongolian President wins second term
MONGOLIA'S incumbent president, Tsakhia Elbegdorj, who wants more controls on foreign mining investments, has emerged as the winner of yesterday's polls with a narrow majority of votes cast, the country's election commission said on today.
Elbegdorj, 50, who has served as president since 2009, was the overwhelming favourite in the contest, played out amid worries about Mongolia's faltering economy as well as the growing role of foreign mining firms.
The commission said Elbegdorj got 50.23 percent of the votes, beating a former wrestling champion, Bat-Erdene Badmaanyambuu of the Mongolian People's Party, and health minister Udval Natsag, of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party.
The lower-than-expected margin of victory could be traced to low turnout, said Julian Dierkes, an expert in Mongolian politics at the University of British Columbia, adding that participation was 10 percent lower than the last election.
"The consensus was that Elbegdorj was winning and I suspect that a lot of potential voters thought he was winning anyway, and didn't vote," said Dierkes, who is in Ulan Bator to monitor the election.
Elbegdorj's narrow victory, even if it is not contested by the opposition, is not expected to allay the concerns of foreign investors worried about growing government interference in the country's booming mining sector.
The win preserves the dominance of the Mongolian Democratic Party, which won the most seats, though not an absolute majority, in last year's parliamentary vote, and heads a coalition government keen to regulate foreign investments.
Elbegdorj is a free-market advocate, but his government has increasingly adopted a more "resource nationalist" approach, with laws to give the country a bigger stake in "strategic assets", such as mines.
It also aims to rework a landmark 2009 investment pact to develop the massive Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine.
The vote took place amid rising concern over Mongolia's resource-dependent economy, with falling commodity prices and weakening demand from China expected to erode growth and undermine spending plans.
The economy grew 12 percent last year and 17 percent in 2011, as mining investment poured in and mineral exports to China surged.
But growth could slow to 5.5 percent in 2013, the Mongolian Investment Banking Group said this week, if the Oyu Tolgoi project is not launched on schedule.
Mongolia is in dispute with Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto over how it will repatriate profits from Oyu Tolgoi, whose launch has been delayed twice this month.
A controversial new mining bill championed by Elbegdorj will also be high on the agenda.
"The biggest implication is continuity -- his campaign was that he had done well for four years and wanted a chance to do more," said Dierkes. "But mining and resources is on the top of everyone's agenda and here he will keep going."

December 17, 2002 -- Religious tensions erupted yesterday after authorities confirmed that an Arab girl beat up a Jewish girl at a Brooklyn middle school.
The Arab teen was arrested and suspended for the Dec. 12 attack on the 13-year-old Jewish girl, an honors student, at IS 259 in Dycker Heights, sources said.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
This has been my question ever since 9/11. Why are we importing trouble for ourselves?
YOU assume that..with no facts also. Facts the girl was taunted by Jew Jew Jew for a period of time and was beaten up..sounds racist to me.
Like most humans who believe their freedoms are being violated, they are likely to take up arms against those who they see as the oppressor. In this case it is the rock throwing Palestinian seeing the Jew (or more accurately the Zionist) as the oppressor. Since they have no access to guns, they use rocks. It is exactly what freedom loving Americans have been taught too, except we have guns (for now). So, they do think like us.
Please, please, FR is not about race; it is about ideas. If any of its residents or citizens, whatever their origin or immediate ancestry, is a supporter of freedom and free-enterprise, they are an asset. The issue is ideas, not race. FR has great members, a number of the most right-thinking are of so-called Latino background, or Black, or Asian.
What I wish the curtain to come down on is welfarism and socialism and philosophies antithecal to the Great Western Judeo-Christian tradition.
Maybe it is as your prejudices dictate. Or maybe not.
(Insert Redd Foxx "gorilla cookie" joke here).
Nothing, but Darksheare bought up the rock throwing in post 116.
Again, I have offered no personal opionion of the Jewish/Palestinian problem and have instead simply said that through the eyes of a Palestinian (who believes he's being oppressed), they are fighting that oppression (where in that statement have I said that I believe the Palestinians are oppressed?). However, I will say this, that if the Palestinian has to fight, I wish they would at least pick hard (military) targets.
New Yorkers know who Alphonse was....a disgrace.
Beating up the girl was a bad thing.
...what does Arab/Jew have to do with this beating being a bad thing. NOTHING! A beating is a bad thing. Period.

The Dow Jones Deal And The Market's Confidence In It Happening
Jon FineYeoman (and –woman) work is being done over at the Wall Street Journal in documenting the Bancroft-ian angst over selling Dow Jones to News Corp. for $60 a share. Ditto for the attempts to unravel, or at least describe, the complex and many-tentacled structure of the trusts that control much of the family's supervoting stock.
The Journal's reporters—shoutouts here to Sarah Ellison, Susan Pulliam, Matthew Karnitschnig, Dennis K. Berman and Susan Warren, who have had to cover an emotionally-charged situation unfolding in real-time and which closely concerns their possible future employer—have been writing it's too close to call whether or not enough Bancroft votes will let the deal happen.
Me, I'm still pretty convinced that a News Corp-Dow Jones deal gets done. The weird thing is, despite today's massive front-pager at the Journal that … well, it didn't exactly suggest the deal was a slam-dunk, but Dow Jones stock started jumping this morning anyway, as this chart shows:
Having the stock hover between $54 and $55 still indicates the market doesn't see it as a done-deal just yet—remember there was a time after the bid was made public when the price topped $61—but it's leaning more in that direction that it had been earlier this week.

TrueNTH Decision support
Project Lead: Lucy Brindle, Lecturer, University of Southampton
The problem
Since treatment options for prostate cancer can be varied and complex, making a 'no-regrets' decision about a treatment path can be very difficult, particularly if options and associated risks are not laid out clearly and not tailored for the individual patient.
How TrueNTH is confronting it
This is part of a global TrueNTH project to develop a 'decision aid' for men with localised, low-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer. The ultimate aim is to develop tools in this area for men with high risk cancer too.
There are two stages to this project:
Stage 1 focuses on scoping and reviewing communication between patient and clinician at the time of diagnosis to identify where support is needed. In response, the research team will design aids, such as audio-recordings of consultations for patients, which can support their understanding.
Training for clinical teams will be included alongside information materials to better explain available treatment options and prepare men for making that decision with their specialist.
Stage 2 will be the evaluation phase. The team will evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention and treatment selection option to learn more about if and how men regret the decisions they have made.
