Police Officer/ EMT... does it happen?
1 post back to top |
Posted over 5 years ago I've been an officer for about a year now and although I have no plans to switch sides, I'm interested in EMT studies. I've been looking into EMT classes just to get the basic EMT certification to become a better first responder. Would look good on a resume if I decide to switch departments? Would it help my fellow brothers/sisters in red? Would spending several months and money on an EMT class be a good idea? |

| Posted over 5 years ago I am not a LEO, but I know of plenty Officfers that were EMTs and have kept their status up to date. In fact there is an RPD Officer who was an EMT has kept his EMT status current and is credited with saving the life of RPD Officer Tony DiPonzio when he was shot in the back of the head on January 31, 2009. Had it not been for Paul and his training Tony would have died. I am not positive but I also believe at least some if not all of NYPD ESU have WEMT status. In IMHO it certainly wouldn't hurt to have. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Good question. Although an EMT cert might expand your potential in being an effective public safety person, is it practical to spend the time and money to do it ? Some or most of the skills learned (and paid for) by you may come under scrutiny by your agency. They may not want you to exercise Advanced First Aid that would be in conflict with policy with your agency OR in conflict with contractual agreements with Fire and ambulance companies working within your jurisdiction. To extend any medical assistance beyond what you are trained in at an academy level might be setting you up for potential problems. Let me flip flop it for you and see if this makes sense. An actual EMT or Paramedic decides they would like to 'expand' their effectiveness in the public safety sector by taking classes for Reserve Officer status. They pass the courses and now possess a certificate that declares them to be trained in a certain level of competency for law enforcement. What would you tell them? Would you say, "I see you are a trained in law enforcement because you took some classes. Sure, if you have the chance, go right ahead and do my job when you roll up to a scene. When I get there, I will take over. And thanks !" All I am asking is for you to switch roles and see if it's ok with you. Am I way off base here? Bottom line: Even though I might take training to be qualified as an EMT or Paramedic, would I also lug around all the equipment and tools of the trade just to have a better resume? Exception to the rule: If you have a SWAT Team, they MAY require the talents of a Tactical Medic. That means you are on the Team but not as a tactical operator per se BUT you would deploy with the Team in the capacity of the Team Medic. Check out the PoliceLink.com Facebook page.

| Posted over 5 years ago I've been a LEO for 31 years and a Paramedic for 26 years. Over the years there have been numerous times that I have used my medical training as a LEO and LEO training as a medic, not only to help the citizens we serve but to assist my co workers. Working primarily in rural areas, I have arrived on scene and been able to provide much needed medical treatment long before EMS arrival and assist short handed ambulance crews. Every Sheriff I have worked under has been very supportive of my medical training needs, and in my state, most medical training counts towards required LEO training hours. I would agree that any training you can get is beneficial, so I would say go for it. |

| Posted over 5 years ago I agree with The Sarge. I was an ambulance attendant two years prior to being a cop. As a cop I always stepped aside as to not interfere with EMT personnel. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Not a Leo but I agree with what's been stated...you could get into some liability issues depending on what you do.I would never tell anyone not to get more education but what will you do with this education is the key factor..I admire anyone that wants to top knotch their skills but how often will you use these skills if I was in your shoes the time I was going to spend on a EMT course I would spend it on addictional training through my work.. b/c that will look good on a resume also... The stuff you will learn as a EMT it is good training but how often will you utilize it other then the CPR? not sure what else you would do on a scene..... you are already considered a first responder being a LEO :) now if you were to do that on the side for extra money that's totally worth it...the classes aren't as bad as you think either.. atleast here their not , 3 days a week for 4 months right at 1500$ for tuition.. I've looked into doing it myself b/c I once thought I wanted to become a paramedic..good luck In Life we should experience an adventure that will create a memory worth repeating.....unknown..... |

| Posted over 5 years ago I was an EMT before I became a cop, with a background in Search & Rescue and FD. My office has encouraged me to keep my certifications current, including allowing me to attend refreshers, obtain CE hours, etc., while on the clock. I am also a SWAT member and serve both on our assault/entry team and as a medic. When on patrol I administer care only to my agency's standard, which is basic first aid. When on a SWAT mission I am able to operate to the full extent of my certifications. (Our team is classified as an *ALS* non-transporting agency). The important thing is to remember which "hat" you're wearing on a call. I just wrapped up my shift this morning with a full code (no respiration's/pulse) on a subject who OD'd. Once the EMT's and FD arrived and began working their mojo, I put my cop "hat" on and obtained witness info, etc. And as far as the classes go, try contacting your local volunteer fire departments. Our VFD's host EMT courses several times a year, and the cost is less than $500. A possible downside may be the amount of CE hours and training required to maintain certifications. Trying to keep up on those can be a royal pain in the behind, especially if your agency isn't thrilled with you taking the time to do so. |

| Posted over 5 years ago TheSarge says ... I'll try to clarify my situation a little here. As a Paramedic you must work under the license of a physician, When I first got certified in Colorado I discussed the situation at length with my Sheriff and the Physician Medical Director of the County ambulance. What it finally came down to was that the I was actually covered to practice as a Paramedic by the Medical Director and that the County Ambulance covered liability. The Sheriff (along with county Commissioners) agreed that I would be covered under the County blanket policy as medical assistance was actually part of my duties as a Deputy. After moving to Wyoming things changed a little. I am not a certified Paramedic with the state, as Wyoming does not accept National Registry, I have continued to provide medical care, although limited what I can legally do. The Sheriff here assures me that I will be backed completely by the County as long as I don't go beyond my scope of practice. The SO does continue to pay for my medical training as they do any other LEO training. The PD I have done some part time work for in South Dakota has also allowed a number of Officers to provide medical care and encouraged EMT training. I'm sure things are different from agency to agency and state to state, all I can do is let you all know what my experience has been |

| Posted over 5 years ago I have been in law enforcement several yrs now, a vol firefighter for 16 yrs and have been through EMT training twice. Once when I first started firefighting and the second about 3 yrs ago. It has helped greatly in both fields. I highly recomend doing it. Honestly, I have used my EMT training more "off duty" with family and friends than I thought I ever would. More knowledge is never a bad thing. |

| Posted over 4 years ago I was forced out of my former department due to budget cuts and I gained my EMT license to make me more hireable and because I had an interest in medicine. I have since joined a PD that requires all Officers to be licensed EMT's and we even have our own Police Ambulance. I would not have been hired if I had not already had my EMT license. Yes, it does make you more hireable but remember that once you're in, you're taking on two jobs at once. I had to test into this region's Emergency Medical System (we fall under a different hospital/system than where I got my license) and I have to attend Continuing Education courses monthly just to keep my license up-to-date. Thats on top of my normal PD work schedule as well. The EMT school I went through lasted 3 months and included the state exam. It was difficult but its an excellent option. Keep in mind as well that once you get settled into your career, you could use that license to work part-time on an Ambulance or at a venue/business. I say go for it. |

| Posted over 4 years ago Absolutely,the more training the better.Never know when you will need it.The more you perform these hands on things the more confidence you will build up too.I did a delivery and assisted in another and got the old ticker going on a couple other people.I definately wasn't the best around but our yearly five day refresher course was beneficial and the fact I was an Army medic helped. |

| Posted over 4 years ago SkoolCop says ... Back in the early 70's San Diego Officers were also EMT's as SD Police also ran ambulances. I was trained and even went to work for an Ambulance Service for a couple of month before being hired by a PD. I do not think that they even took notice of it. While OTJ I only had to perform basic first aid or assess individual triage for responding EMT's so that they could get to those that needed help first. I once used my EMT skills on a man who was shot in the chest to make sure he was alive when EMT's arrived and the situation was secure as this individual would have died if I hadn't. Because he lived I received a nice Commendation from the city because it made THEM look good and they even took credit for my training! LOL! |

| Posted over 4 years ago As was said it is always good to have additional training and knowledge and KUDOS to those that do and get to use it. Just research the agency you are interested in and look at their GO's and SOP's to see if they will sanction the training. Let them ask you during the interview process because they will see it on your resume, so likley they will ask, but everyone brings up valid considerations. Apparently there are many places that encourage and allow you to use it, so your training and experience will be reviewed and discussed... |

Press Release Advocates Applaud Launch of World's First Phase II Rectal Microbicide StudyTrial Design Significantly Enhanced by Strong Community Input
October 2, 2013 IRMA applauds the launch of the world's first-ever Phase II rectal microbicide trial. The Microbicide Trial Network's study, called MTN-017, will test a reduced glycerin formulation of tenofovir gel applied rectally. Volunteers consisting of gay men, other men who have sex with men, and transgender women will participate in the study at sites in the United States and in Thailand, South Africa, and Peru. "Today feels like every holiday imaginable rolled into one," said Jim Pickett, chair of International Rectal Microbicide Advocates (IRMA.) "The launch of the MTN-017 study is a milestone long in the making and marks a giant leap forward in the development of safe, effective, acceptable, and accessible products that could be used to prevent HIV during anal intercourse." IRMA is pleased to have participated in an intensive community input process with the Microbicide Trials Network that included in-person consultations with advocates and key stakeholders in Thailand, South Africa, Peru and the United States. "The dreams and desires of many men, women, and transgender individuals the world over can be heard loud and clear in the design of the MTN-017 trial. This deep collaboration between scientists and community members is key to the success of this trial and to the rectal microbicide field in general," said Pickett. When microbicides were first imagined, they were "vagina-centric." While many embraced the notion of creating vaginal products women could control, the majority of the HIV/AIDS community -- scientists and advocates alike -- dismissed the possibility of developing rectal microbicides for use during anal intercourse as an HIV prevention method. It was not considered feasible and the pursuit was seen as hopeless, even laughable. At best, the rectal microbicide field would consist of testing vaginal microbicides for rectal safety, because these products would undoubtedly end up in the rectum despite their intended destination. IRMA thanks the visionary scientists, advocates and funders like the U.S. National Institutes of Health who bucked prevailing "wisdom" and have remained steadfast in their commitment to developing new HIV prevention methods for use during anal intercourse. "I feel like we are taking two giant leaps forward today. One in the fight against HIV, and the other in the fight against ignorance and small thinking," said Pickett. Learn more about the MTN-017 study. Watch this video: "The Rectal Revolution Is Here: An Introduction to Rectal Microbicide Clinical Trials" in English, Spanish or Thai.

text: 50 Years Young: The Five Best Minis EverJohn Krewson8/26/09 2:45pmFiled to: MiniMini CooperPaddy HopkirkAlec IssigonisMini CountrymanwoodyMini-MokeRoverJohn Cooper WorksFeatureTop941EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkThe little Mini Coupé Concept heralded the start of today's 50th Anniversary of the Mini in all its myriad forms. Now, in honor of this brilliant little car's first half century, we're listing these five all-time best. Paddy Hopkirk's "33EJB" Cooper S Advertisement Advertisement Five years after its introduction, the Mini was already somewhat of a hit. In 1964 Paddy Hopkirk made it into a sensation when he won the Monte Carlo Rally. Hopkirk and navigator Henry Liddon beat a factory team of eight fire-breathing V-8 Ford Falcons headed by Graham Hill with a combination of good recon, excellent Mini handling, and the skills Hopkirk learned on the cobbles of his native Belfast (and some help from the handicap rules, but that's hardly important or particularly romantic). Suddenly Hopkirk was the kind of celebrity that couldn't get arrested in London, certainly a rarity for an Irishman in the Sixties, and the Mini was a performance icon, certainly something no one expected from a car Alec Issigonis designed to compete with German bubble-cars. Minis won the rally three more times until 1967, forever cementing their reputation as giant-killers.Photo: BMW Group Mini-Moke"Moke" means "Donkey," and there's perhaps no better automotive equivalent of Eeyore than the Moke, which like the cartoon donkey, seems terribly unsuited for its intended role—this was going to be a military vehicle?— but also like its namesake it endures, despite everything. It's a lot, well, cuter than Eeyore, it must be said, and because it's so popular as a light-duty beach buggy, it spends a lot less time being bedraggled in the rain. Our advice to the folks using the Mini name now: Drop this silly new coupe stuff and give us one of these, changing as little as possible. Photo: Getty Images Mini Countryman WoodySimply put, it's a Mini estate car with wood framing. Mechanically, it's nothing unusual, nor is it particularly remarkable from a woodworking standpoint. But the net effect is comfortable, rustic, and makes one want to go get a tweed gamekeeper's coat and wingshoot some grouse. You know we like it if we chose it over the Coutryman pickup or "Minimino." Recent reports say the Countryman name, if not the wood frame, will be brought back soon, which we consider something of a job half-done. Photo: Wikipedia Mark VII Mini Advertisement Sponsored The last of the first, Rover's 1996 to 2000 edition of the Mini was still recognizably a Mini; it had gained a little weight, though not much, gained a little comfort, though not a lot, and gained a modest degree of power, although it never had much. The idea of a Mini with an airbag and some sound insulation seems almost wrong, but the Mark 7s are still highly desirable as the last "real" Mini.Photo: Wikipedia John Cooper Works New MINIThe "New MINI" is not without its problems, but it's still a blast to drive. The first-gen John Cooper Works GP MINIs are easily the biggest blast, especially because they offered a lot of supercharged, backseatless speed in a fairly affordable package. If you were lucky enough to get one of the couple thousand made, it's gained value for you, although if you were persistent enough to get one you shouldn't really care about that. So all in all a good fifty years for the Mini. Let's hope cooler heads prevail at BMW, or whichever company eventually winds up with the name so we can look back on these five decades as merely a good start.Reply94 repliesLeave a reply

Particularly in the light chill of early autumn, that desirable sense of warmth and home seems to emanate from the cozier, comforting niceties - patchwork quilts, patterned table cloths, skeins of yarns - in short, the ever-inviting texture of textile. So why not take this coziness a step further by trading in traditional hardware for something a little softer. After making a set of fabric covered drawer pulls for the "thirties dresser" (see previous post) I compiled a little self-illustrated how-to. Happy crafting!
Some notes on supplies: Pictured above are all the materials you'll need to make these. I used 1.5" inch, unfinished wooden knobs, purchased for about 50 cents each at the local hardware store. For knobs of this size you'll need approximately a 5" square piece of lightweight cotton fabric for each knob. {Cue industrious creativity! There are as many possibilities for knobs as there are fabrics - I used a re-purposed hand-me-down skirt making this project extra thrifty.} As far as glue, I recommend using Aleene's Tacky Glue, thinned out as needed with standard Elmer's white school glue. And finally, the clear spray is optional, but I find it makes for a more durable, cleanable surface, not to mention a nice glossy finish.

This is wonderful. For the second rubber band, I am not sure what is the purpose? Is it to hold the wet glue and fabric at the bottom half section of the knob? We are going to make a play kitchen for our little one and I will try fabric know for the stove. : ) Thank you.

The decision to demote Lewis Hamilton to third place here yesterday will long be remembered as being farcical and disgraceful by all in motor racing.
Lewis Hamilton had scored a sensational victory at Spa-Francorchamps – snatching victory from the jaws of defeat just when it seemed that Kimi Raikkonen was on course to emulate the great Jim Clark's feat of four victories in a row here after dominating the race.
Then the race stewards adjudged Hamilton to have gained advantage by cutting a chicane and gave him a ridiculous retrospective 25-second penalty, which dropped him to third and rendered the race a joke.
Hamilton led initially from pole position until he spun in the damp first corner on the second lap, handing the advantage to Raikkonen. He admitted that thereafter he pushed "every limit" in what appeared to be vain pursuit. With eight laps left to run Raikkonen had a 2.1-second lead, and Hamilton lost further time lapping Kazuki Nakajima. But then it began to rain and suddenly Hamilton was challenging the Ferrari driver after the Finn lost 1.3 seconds on the 42nd lap.
"It was an experience and a half. I could see Kimi, and after the second pit stop I was thinking, 'How did he get so far ahead?' I was just pushing, pushing, pushing, trying to close the gap. I would pull back a tenth at a time, and then he'd pull away. I was hoping that he'd catch traffic, and sometimes he got it on the straight and got a tow, and sometimes I'd get it in a corner. Going through Eau Rouge I could see clouds and I was praying, 'Please, rain, rain, rain!' I knew how to deal with it. Then I saw Kimi begin to back off and brake earlier than he normally would for turn eight, so I knew it was on."
A hitherto dull race was then brought to life by a high-speed game of cat and mouse between two of the best drivers in the world, a matter of who could control their car better on a surface like an ice rink. Going into the chicane at the end of the 42nd lap, Hamilton pulled alongside Raikkonen on the outside. And this was where the alleged incident occurred. "I was in a good position to dive inside him and he covered his spot," Hamilton said. "He braked early, so I went round outside and left him enough room yet he accelerated, or picked up more pace in the corner, and drove me as wide as he possibly could, so I had no room left. I thought, 'If I stay where I am I can try to go over the green astroturf bit and hit him, or go left.' The latter was the option I had to do, so I did it."
Hamilton inched ahead, but knew he had contravened the rules by effectively cutting the corner and gaining an advantage. "I knew I had to let him past and the team said so on the radio, so I did before we crossed the line. I waited until I saw him come by, then got back in his slipstream. "Going down to turn one he was ducking and diving left and right, and I did the same and got inside. He hit me in the apex of the corner, but I was pretty much gone by then."
But not for long. Both found themselves in trouble as they came out of turn 11. "In turn 10 we both had oversteer moments going in," Hamilton said. "I was very lucky to catch mine. Kimi was on a much wider line." Stretching the rules as far as he could, the Finn was using the grippier run-off area.
"I braked very early for turn 12, and saw Nico Rosberg ahead of me, after a spin. He was driving more towards me and I was running relatively wide towards him, so I had to turn to the left to dodge the Williams. Kimi was right with me, and we both nearly hit him. Kimi overtook both of us as I went over the grass, and I thought I had lost then, but then I saw Kimi spin ... we were chopping and changing, it was so much fun. My heart was racing more than it ever has before!"
As Hamilton regained the lead, Raikkonen's renewed efforts to counter-attack proved his undoing as he spun and crashed in turn 13, throwing eight points away as he tried to keep in play. Hamilton was almost home, if not dry, but there was still a lot of juggling to do to keep his McLaren on the track.
Further back, Nick Heidfeld, Fernando Alonso, Timo Glock, Rosberg, Nakajima, David Coulthard and Giancarlo Fisichella had all gambled on lightning pit stops to switch to intermediate rain tyres. "That didn't cross my mind once," Hamilton declared. "But it was very, very slippery, and there was no temp in the tyres. You would brake 400 metres earlier than you should normally, and still arrive at the corner unsure what was going to happen. You were just guessing where the grip was. You had to turn your senses on to full power and wait to react to every oversteer. The gap between me and Felipe went from five to 10 seconds, though, so I realised he was going even slower so I just went as slowly as I could to bring it home. I thought of Kimi coming off on the second last lap, and knew it was an awful long way to go just to throw it all away."
Hamilton's main mistake had come on that second lap, however, and now he slithered home to his fifth win of the season in one of the most exciting races in years. Until the stewards – Nicholas Deschaux, Surinder Thatthi and Yves Bacquelaine – who took none of the risk, decided otherwise.

'We have no option other than to appeal' say McLaren
In Valencia a fortnight ago Felipe Massa was investigated for "unsafe release" from his Ferrari pit. The punishment normally would have been a 10-second stop-and-go penalty, which would have denied him victory. Instead, the stewards at the meeting later fined him €10,000 and allowed him to keep his win.
At Spa, three different stewards decided that Lewis Hamilton's transgression also merited a 10-second stop-and-go penalty, but that since the race was over he should receive a 25-second penalty which dropped him from first place to third.
A McLaren spokesman said: "We looked at all our data. It showed that, having lifted, Lewis was 6kph slower than Kimi [Raikkonen] as they crossed the finish line.
"Having passed the lead back to Kimi, Lewis repositioned his car, moving across and behind Kimi to the right-hand line and then outbraked him into the hairpin. We have no option other than to appeal."

Causes of Weight Loss in Cats
Table of contents
Causes of weight loss Signs of weight loss Diagnosing the cause of weight loss Treating weight loss in cats |
Weight loss isn't a disease in itself rather it is a sign of an underlying problem. There are generally two causes of weight loss in cats. Stress or medical. Weight loss can be quite subtle as the cat's fur can make it difficult to see when this is occurring. Your cat's weight should be checked at least once a year, during his annual visit to the veterinarian. He will then have a baseline to go on. Unfortunately, many pet owners put weight loss in senior cats down to old age, but it is extremely common for cats to have underlying medical causes of weight loss.
Veterinary attention should always be sought if your cat is losing weight, so he can identify and treat the cause.
What are the causes of weight loss in cats?
There are many possible reasons why your cat may be losing weight, some of which include:
Acute (sudden) or chronic (slow and progressive) kidney disease - Disease of the kidneys resulting in decreased function, which causes toxins to build up in the cat's body.
Addison's disease - An endocrine disorder caused by the adrenal glands not producing enough hormones.
Anemia - Reduced number of red blood cells, there are many possible causes of anemia in cats.
Coccidiosis - Infection by protozoa (single celled organism) which causes vomiting and diarrhea.
Cryptosporidium - A single-celled intestinal parasite which causes vomiting and diarrhea.
Dental problems - Stomatitis, dental abscess etc., resulting in reluctance to eat.
Diabetes mellitus - A very common endocrine disorder caused by not enough insulin being produced by the pancreas, or insulin resistance, resulting in cells not taking in enough glucose.
Dietary - An inadequate amount of food, poor quality food, fussy eater.
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency - Disorder caused by the pancreas not producing enough pancreatic enzymes to digest food.
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus - Viral infection, similar to HIV in humans.
Feline Infectious Anemia (hemobartonellosis) - Caused by an unusual type of bacteria which attach themselves to the wall of red blood cells, destroying them in the process.
Feline leukemia virus - FeLV is a viral infection caused by reovirus, which is in the same family as the feline immunodeficiency virus. It is an "oncovirus", meaning it can cause cancer. It also suppresses the immune system.
Giardia - Infection with a single celled protozoan known as giardia.
Glomerulonephritis - A renal disease which is caused by the inflammation
Heartworm - Parasitic worm infection of the heart and lungs.
Hyperthyroidism - A very common cause of weight loss in middle aged to senior cats. Hyperthyroidism is almost always caused by a benign tumour of the thyroid gland which secretes excess hormones.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Thickening of the left ventricular wall of the heart. It may be primary or secondary, brought on by medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism or high blood pressure.
Inflammatory bowel disease - Inflammation of the intestinal tract with inflammatory cells.
Liver disease - Decreased function of the liver.
Pancreatitis - Inflammation of the pancreas.
Parasitic worms - Heavy infestation with hookworm, roundworm or tapeworm can lead to weight loss due to loss of nutrients.
Pregnancy and lactation.
Stress - Some possible causes of stress include: moving house, loss of a companion, new pet/person in the house, hospitalisation, being boarded).
This list is by no means complete, there are also many other possible causes of weight loss in cats.
Signs of weight loss in cats:
Weight loss can be further split into 'polyphagic' which means progressive decrease in body weight in the presence of an increased appetite. Hyperthyroidism is one cause of polyphagic weight loss. Or weight loss which is a result of decreased appetite, increased activity (which leads to more calories being burned), decreased access to food, quality of food, pregnancy, lactation etc.
Other signs may be related to an underlying condition and may include:
- Anorexia (loss of appetite).
- Bad breath.
- Changes in behaviour.
- Increased appetite.
- Increased thirst and urination.
- Diarrhea.
- Vomiting.
- Loss of coat condition.
- Increased or decreased activity.
- Depression.
Your veterinarian will perform a complete physical examination from you and obtain a medical history, including the cat's age and other symptoms you may have noticed.
Hyperthyroidism and diabetes are common causes in older cats and may be tested for first. Tests your veterinarian will commonly perform include:
- Abdominal x-ray or ultrasound.
- Biochemical profile, complete blood count, and urinalysis to evaluate the overall health of your cat and the organs, these tests may reveal infection, kidney function, liver function, anemia, calcium levels, magnesium levels which can all paint an overall picture of your cat's health.
- Bile acid test - To evaluate liver function.
- Blood tests to detect elevated levels of the hormones T3 and T4 are performed. Some cats with hyperthyroidism may show normal levels of these hormones in their blood test. If this is the case then a T3 suppression test may be performed. This involves taking a blood test to check the levels of T3 and T4, 7 oral doses of the thyroid hormone T3 and a blood test after the hormone was given. In a normal cat, the level of T4 will drop, in a cat with hyperthyroidism the T4 levels will stay the same or increase slightly.
- Fecal studies to look for parasites.
Treatment of weight loss in cats:
Treatment depends on the cause and should be aimed at addressing the underlying cause (if there is one). Full details on most of these medical conditions can be found in articles relating to the condition (linked above).
Kidney failure - Low protein diet, phosphorous binders, fluids to treat dehydration.
Addison's disease - Lifelong replacement of missing adrenal hormones.
Hyperthyroidism - Radioactive iodine to destroy the tumour or surgery to remove it.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - There is no cure for this condition, treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms including beta blockers to assist with contraction of the heart muscle, blood thinning drugs and restricting activity.
Cancer - Treatment will depend on the type of cancer involved and if it has spread. If it is possible, surgical removal of the tumour. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy may also be given.
Antibiotics to treat bacterial infections.
Anemia - Finding and treating the underlying cause. Severe cases of anemia may require a blood transfusion.
Dental problems - Treating any dental problems your cat may have such as lancing an abscess, flushing it out with antibiotics and administration of oral antibiotics. Some dental abscesses may require extraction of the tooth. Antibiotics may help with stomatitis but in unresponsive cases, dental extraction may be the only option.
Protozoal infections can be difficult to treat, in which case supportive care is offered. Some types (such as giardia) can be treated with antibiotics.
Dietary - Feeding your cat an adequate amount of a good quality cat food. If you have multiple cats in the household, it is important to ensure each cat gets his fair share and more shy cats aren't pushed out of the way. Separate feeding areas or times may be required.
Diabetes - Switching to a low protein diet, insulin injections may be required if dietary management is unable to bring the condition under control.
Pancreatitis - Find and treat the underlying cause, if possible. Painkillers to relieve discomfort, anti-nausea medication, antibiotics if there is an infection and supportive care.
Exocrine pancreatic deficiency - Pancreatic enzyme extract, feeding a high protein diet. Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed to treat bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.
Pregnancy and lactating cats have higher nutritional needs than other adult cats and as such, need to be fed more.
Liver disease - Nutritional support, IV fluids, anti-nausea medication, corticosteroids may be useful in some cases.
Feline infectious anemia - Antibiotics, steroids may be prescribed to address the immune component. Severely anemic cats may require a blood transfusion.
Inflammatory bowel disease - Dietary management such as a highly digestible diet, immunosuppressive drugs, and/or antibiotics may be prescribed.
Stress - Finding the cause of stress and reducing it.
FIV and FeLV - These conditions can not be treated, supportive care is offered. This may include keeping your cat in a stress-free environment, antibiotics to treat infections that may occur, keeping your pet parasite free, feeding a high-quality diet. Regular checkups with your veterinarian.
Glomerulonephritis - Diuretics to remove fluid excess, low sodium/high protein diet, medications to treat high blood pressure, steroids to reduce inflammation.
Worms - Hookworms, roundworms, and tapeworms can be easily treated with anti-worming medications. Heartworms are more difficult to treat. Mild cases may require the use of an adulticide to kill the heartworms. This comes with risks and is generally only used in cats displaying symptoms of heartworm disease.
Inflammatory bowel disease - Dietary management with a highly digestible diet, corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, immunosuppressive drugs, sometimes antibiotics will be prescribed.
Supportive care:
In addition to treating the above causes of weight loss, your veterinarian will offer your cat supportive care, such as:
Encouraging your cat to eat with a high-quality diet.
Force feeding, if necessary.
Appetite stimulants.

Reading always turns any season into summer. Maybe it's because I associate my first bouts of time with books with time out of school, with summer afternoons on the back porch when the weather made it too hot to play, and the air seemed just quiet enough that you could focus your early reading skills on the page before you and make a story emerge from the shapes and squiggles printed there. Even for someone as fortunate as I am, someone who reads for a living, summer always feels like a special time.
For my recommendations for this particular hot summer now upon us I've got five works of fiction that I've been gathering together for the season, beginning with a just republished, long-out-of-print collection of stories by the Irish master John Banville. Four of these five books involve some sort of criminal mayhem, physical and psychological, and the last one has to do with the origins of life itself.
If you could use some tips on what to read with all of these extra hours of sunlight, our reviewer Alan Cheuse is ready to help. Here are a few of Alan's summer book choices.
ALAN CHEUSE, BYLINE: Reading always makes the season summer. Maybe it's because I associate my first bouts of time with books with being a kid - summer afternoons on the back porch when it's too hot to play and just quiet enough that you can focus your early reading skills on the page in front of you and enjoy the magic of a story unfurling. Even for someone as fortunate as I am, someone who reads for a living, summer's always a special time for reading.
For my recommendations for this summer, I've got three excellent novels with crimes at the heart of two of them, with an action spread geographically across the map, including a story that opens in the Arctic and ends up in Boston with the potential to thaw most anyone's soul. First, to the western desert with Becky Masterman's first novel, "Rage Against the Dying." The book springs loose a simple effective plot and an attractive new character - the quest for a highway killer by retired and newly-married FBI agent Brigid Quinn. Within a few pages, the aging female former agent takes out a creepy would-be assassin and the novel's off and running. Cold cases, hot FBI politics, a cover-up, and an explosive conclusion. Masterman includes it all quite deftly, as when Brigid and her husband are sitting quietly and reading one night - ah, reading. Ah, the bliss of a wife and husband reading - Brigid happens to be holding a book by thriller writer Clive Cussler. Brigid's a tough sell. The novel, she says to her husband, wasn't exciting enough to help me escape from real life. Rest assured, this one is.
Looking further west, and north, I highly recommend for the fun of it all - well, a certain menacing sort of fun - "The Wonder Bread Summer" by Jessica Anya Blau, a neat little caper of a novel, set in 1980s California, a book that gives off a comedic glow. Meet Allie Dodgson, a 20-year-old multiracial, independent and relatively inexperienced college student in Berkeley who owes tuition and back rent. When her boss puts off her request for her back pay and then sexually harasses her, Allie snatches the man's Wonder Bread bag full of cocaine - seems as though he's using the dress shop as a front for his drug sales - she borrows a friend's car, and heads for L.A. And so begins the most charming and neatly made and entertaining and X-rated chase novel of the season. Encounters with Allie's distant father, her stoner mother, a fling with rocker Billy Idol - I don't know another novel that's going to make you feel more like summer than this one.
The final book I want to recommend begins amid the hard ice of the far Arctic in a cold season. It's a first novel called "The Curiosity" by Stephen P. Kiernan, and for me, it's one of the year's great delights. Imagine a multi-multimillion dollar expedition to search for frozen creatures, anything from krill to shrimp to seals, in an attempt to bring them back to life. The crew of the expedition ship finds an immense iceberg, larger than other ever found before, and discovers flash-frozen inside it a fully dressed human male, the victim, it turns out, of a 1906 drowning. Introducing Jeremiah Rice, the 140-year-old man, frozen in mid-age - a judge from Lynn, Massachusetts. He's thawed out back in Boston in the lab of the larger than life scientist Erastus Carthage. Rice soon becomes the center of a huge controversy that pits science against religion and he becomes the object of affection of Kate Philo, the brilliant young biologist on the team that found him in the ice. Rice is a wonderfully appealing character whom we watch come back to life almost moment to moment and whose curiosity about the world in which he finds himself, and sorrow about the world he's lost, turns this beautifully made first work of fiction into something more than just a summer fling.
CORNISH: Reviewer Alan Cheuse. His three recommendations were " Rage Against the Dying" by Becky Masterman, "The Wonder Bread Summer" by Jessica Anya Blau, and "The Curiosity" by Stephen P. Kiernan. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The Preakness is my favorite live sporting event; not only because of the animalistic behavior of everyone in the infield, but because I like betting on every race without an inkling of race horse knowledge (except for the Triple Crown race of course). You can call it a degenerate activity, I call it FUN! So before I actually start my preview I would like to preface it by saying I have hit the trifecta three years running. Also by just writing that I just jinxed myself this year, so you can basically stop reading right now. This will basically work like my Kentucky Derby preview. I will preview all 13 entries and then paint the picture of how I envision the race to break down:
1. Macho Again – Winner of the Derby Trials just 3 weeks ago. He was extremely tired after the race according to trainer Dallas Stewart. Will make a move before the final turn home and if he can get the space might be able to hit the board.
2. Tres Barrachos – A speed horse that like to get to the lead out of the start. Finished third to Gayego and Z Fortune in the Arkansas Derby. Lacks the speed late to compete with Big Brown and the closers.
3. Icabad Crane – Winner of a race at Pimlico, but has gained considerable amount of weight since. As a closer the weight might be too much for this length and level of competition. Throwout
4. Yankee Bravo – Winner of the California Derby, but hasn't looked great in his last two races. Has the closing speed but the length might be too much. Super or tri tickets
5. Behindathebar – OUT OF RACE
6. Racecar Rhapsody – Yet again another closer without much early speed. Probably be too far back to make much noise or hit the board
7. Big Brown – Kentucky Derby winner still undefeated and heavy favorite to win. Too good not to win
8. Kentucky Bear – Only three career starts, all this year. Has the speed to contend until the end. Most likely stalk the pace and turn it on heading into the final turn for home. Exotics play
9. Stevil – No real speed to be considered an early contender or late closer. Will probably be ahead of the closers heading home, but not enough speed to hold on. Throwout
10. Riley Tucker – Late entry into the race that will press the early leaders along the backstretch. Has enough speed to contend for the board.
11. Giant Moon – Will be one of the horses that will jump out to the lead. Has been too excited during workouts this week. Don't expect him to keep up the pace the whole race. Throwout
12. Gayego – Only other Derby horse to race here. Will wear blinkers so that should help keep focus, but his bad post position won't help. If he can keep the distractions away he can hit the board. Exotics play
13. Hey Byrn – Should be in the group with Big Brown and Riley Tucker to press for the lead along the backstretch. Might not have the speed to compete with Big Brown, but might just have enough to hold off the closers. Exotics
The race will start with the three speed horses vying for the lead. Those horses being Tres Borrachos, Gayego, and Giant Moon. Big Brown, Riley Tucker, and Hey Byrn will make their move along the backstretch. I see Big Brown leading with Gayego, Riley Tucker and Hey Byrn trailing close behind. Now come the middle runners in Kentucky Bear and Macho Again. The final turn home will have all the closers (most likely Yankee Bravo) trying to find a clear path to make their move to catch Big Brown. Down the stretch they come and it's Big Brown leading with Kentucky Bear, Gayego, Hey Byrn and Riley Tucker trying to close. No one will be able to catch the Derby winner as he heads to Belmont two-thirds of the way toward a Triple Crown.
Trifecta ticket off this preview:
7 / 4,8,12,13 / 1,4,8,10,12,13

MasterCard Falls as Higher Expenses Drive Profit Miss
Elizabeth DexheimerMasterCard Inc. fell the most in almost 2 1/2 years after reporting profit that missed analysts' estimates as rebates to card issuers fueled a jump in expenses.
MasterCard, the second-largest U.S. payments network, tumbled 5.1 percent to close at $75.68 in New York, the biggest decline since August 2011. Operating expenses, excluding a one-time charge tied to litigation, rose 11 percent to $1.1 billion from a year earlier, the Purchase, New York-based company said today in a statement.
Rebates were "even higher than expected," Jason Kupferberg, an analyst at Jefferies Group LLC, said in a note to clients. "We view the pullback as an especially good buying opportunity."
Chief Executive Officer Ajay Banga, 54, is upgrading technology as MasterCard competes with larger rival Visa Inc. for deals with card-issuing banks. The expense increase "was primarily driven by higher investments in people and marketing to support strategic initiatives," according to the statement.
Fourth-quarter net income rose 3 percent to $623 million, or 52 cents a share, from $605 million, or 49 cents, adjusted for a stock split, a year earlier, MasterCard said. Profit excluding one-time items was 57 cents a share, missing the 60-cent average estimate of 29 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Visa declined 2.5 percent to $215.43. The Foster City, California-based firm said yesterday that quarterly profit rose 8.8 percent to $1.4 billion.
Costs Rise
MasterCard signed more deals with card issuers in the quarter than anticipated and expects to return to normal levels this year, Chief Financial Officer Martina Hund-Mejean said on a conference call.
Net revenue rose 12 percent to $2.1 billion as cross-border volume, a measure of spending by consumers traveling abroad, advanced 18 percent, the company said. Hund-Mejean said 2014 net revenue will be on the lower end of the company's three-year forecast of 11 percent to 14 percent.
MasterCard and Visa last month won approval for a $5.7 billion settlement that ended years of litigation with merchants over allegations that credit-card swipe fees are improperly fixed. The settlement, once worth as much as $7.25 billion, was valued at about $5.7 billion as of August after about 8,000 merchants dropped out of the damages portion.
Discover Financial Services reported Jan. 23 that fourth-quarter net income rose 12 percent to $602 million as credit-card spending and loan demand rose. American Express Co., the biggest credit-card issuer by purchases, said Jan. 17 fourth-quarter profit doubled on higher consumer spending.

trailer bearing thoughts/opinions?
Hey Gang,
So, my tinny is on a trailer, w/bearing buddies....and I am taking it down to the valley when I move back down there in a couple months....and not sure if I should mess w/the bearings..... The wheels spin freely, no noise, no freeplay/slop when jacked.... I have no idea the condition or when last disassembled.... I have thoughts on this, and would like other opinions: 1) Most wheel bearing failures are from mis-assembly, not lack of grease. If this is false, then those who repack regularly would NEVER have a failure. 2) Most never repack the bearings in their cars/trucks (2wd), yet they run in deep puddles, rain, etc...I know the bearings on my camry and 2wd truck I had were submerged screwing around at the lake, etc, as much or more than most boat trailers So.....why do most folks repack their bearings so often. When you do, how often are they dry or damaged? I know folks who tell me they been doing it every season for 20+yrs, but have never found the dry or damaged. So why do it? |

most folk pack there bearings to Check for wear and because tahst the ways its been for a long time. preventive maintence so to speak. there dads did it and there doing it..
the one problem with trailers is they don't have the suspension like cars and or trucks so things get loose from time to time, i knwo guys with buddy bears that only greese them never take them apart and have tons of years on them. then there are guys who constantly have problems.(just like vehicles) most of the time the problem with bearings is when someone puts it together the races dont get seated properly due to a burr on one of the mating faces, over time this wears the burr off and the bearings are now to loose.. and most of the burrs come from wacking the bearing race off with a hammer and punch.

The down side to just waiting is the risk of finding yourself stranded. Annually, I take each wheel off and pop the grease cover. If it looks ordinary and the hub turns smoothly, back on for another year.
Couple of indicators to watch for. After a run to the lake before you drop the trailer in, feel the hubs. It's ok if they somewhat hot. If one is hotter than the other, check it out. Thoroughly clean all the grease off the seals and axle hubs behind the wheels. After that, now and again check back there to see if any grease has come out of the hubs.

as del said, its good for checking for wear. i use a disk brake rated grease for all my bearings. i kept bearing buddies on all my trailers, as soon as i load the boat on the trailer i give the bearing buddy a little shot of grease. pushes any water that got in out. more often than not, even with new seals id see a little water come out. so, repacking every so often was a good way to remove the excess grease.

get a spare set of trailer bearings, pack them with grease, put them in a plastic container in your tow vehicle and you will never need them. lol

Bearings wear/fail from contamination, lubrication failure, and/or physical damage. Water and/or dirt getting in the bearing will eventually cause the bearing to fail and are probably the most common reasons for wheel bearings failing. That is probably why some people choose to remove, inspect, and repack bearings. But by doing so you risk contaminating the bearing and/or physically damaging the bearing. Anytime a press fit bearing is assembled or taken apart you risk scratching the bearing running surfaces. So it depends on the skills of the person working on the bearing as to how beneficial taking the bearing apart and greasing them will be. By the way bearings will fail quickly once the running surfaces are compromised and they will last a long time if the surfaces are kept clean and lubricated. Hope this helps.

If your bearings fail, take duct tape, and cut a 12oz pop can in half. Fill the pop can FULL of grease. Happened to a friend of mine on the way to Canada and that's how we fixed it. His trailer stayed like that for 2.5 years and thousands of miles.
I check my bearings every trip. Make sure they are greased properly every month. I've had my boart/trailer for 2 years and haven't repacked the bearings. I drove from Nebraska to Phoenix 6 months ago and have put thousand of miles on my trailer. If it aint broke, dont fix it. |

Whenever the new competitors for "Amazing Race" (or "Survivor," "Big Brother" or any other returning reality competition for that matter) are unveiled, you can easily envision how the producers and casting directors worked out the potential mix of personalities. ("Let's see, we need two teams of screwed-up couples. Gimme a nerd herd, at least a couple of hotties with issues and throw in a mother-son act. Oh, and don't forget the zany siblings. Also, be sure to give us some bonded bad boys.")
The thing is, I'm pretty sure that most of the teams on "AR" don't have a clue which category they're in. Certainly, the dysfunctional teams never seem to think they're dysfunctional. If they did, they'd knock it off, wouldn't they?
The part that, yes, amazes, me is that the dysfunctional doofs usually thrive — at least in the race's early going. Episode two finds the socially and emotionally challenged in top form:

The Automobile?
de Carlos Azpurua
Acerca del libro
My objective with this project is to fool for a short and sometimes eternally about the nature of the subject (the toy car); making it as if it where a real automotive in a real situation, obviously complete fake, or just an Irony.
The reason I pick this project was for the simplicity to manipulate the subject on the image, as David Levinthal did with his photographic series "Hitler Move East", "Mein Kampf" and "Modern Romance", making it real to the viewer as if would had happened. Also I wanted to make visually ordinary objects appear huge in comparison to my toy cars, making then look like real but in a giant world, and sometimes and irony of us as human a being, as Slinkachu did in his project "Little People in London".
To create the landscape for the subject, I studied the way Vick Muniz used ordinary materials as subject for his photograph. In this case, I tried to recreate a beach in a park with paper umbrellas wich are usually used to decorated drinks, and making my toy cars interact with it. Using this new philosophy of creating a image, inspired me to used an unusual car made with clear plastic to create an abstract way to see a "VW in a windshield".
To photograph an automobile as a subject I tried to replicated the style that Raghubir Singh used in his project "A Way into India", where the subject is a car manufactured in India called "Ambassador". Sometimes the object can be the frame of the image, as a silent witness of the reality inside of it. Making not just the subject part of the image, but sharing a place with the viewer as an spectator.

We're barely two weeks into January, and the movie festival season is upon us. The Sundance Film Festival kicks off next and the Berlin Film Festival will get underway shortly after. While it has always been a fest to keep an eye on, this year in particular its bringing some serious heat, with jury president Wong Kar-Wai unspooling his martial arts epic "The Grandmaster" in its international premiere. Even better, the competition lineup has now added some serious contenders.
New films by Bruno Dumont, Steven Soderbergh, Danis Tanovic and newcomer Fredrik Bond will be angling for some prizes in the competition lineup. Let's take a quick run through them in order: first up is "Camille Claudel, 1915," which teams the French filmmaker with Juliette Binoche to tackle the tale of the famed sculptor and schizophrenic. It's one we had pegged for Cannes, but it looks like we're getting it sooner. Meanwhile, "Side Effects" has already started screening for critics and it's competition slot here suggests some big confidence behind the pic.
The filmmaker behind the 2002 Foreign Film Oscar winning "No Man's Land" hasn't matched those heights since, but he'll give it another shot with "An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker" which centers on a poor gypsy family. Lastly, the man behind the Shia LaBeouf and Evan Rachel Wood starring thriller will be giving his passport a workout, and one's more reason for folks in Park City where it will be premiering, to give it some extra attention.
The list of new competition films is below. The Berlin Film Festival runs from February 7th to 17th.

LEXINGTON, Ohio – Englishman Jack Harvey today completed his domination of the Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio weekend, earning the second of two Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires victories at the famed road course while also taking both pole positions and logging the fastest lap in each race as an exclamation point.
His commanding 12.180-second victory has moved him into second position in the championship with three races remaining.
Harvey, 21, started his No. 42 Racing Steps Foundation car on the front row next to Schmidt-Peterson Motorsports with Curb-Agajanian teammate Luiz Razia. Razia, from Brazil, came under pressure from Andretti Autosport's Matthew Brabham as the green flag fell, with Brabham getting a nose on the inside of Razia going into turn four. Unfortunately, Brabham could not make the pass stick, tapping Razia's right rear. The resulting damage ended Brabham's day and put Razia a lap down.
Harvey timed the restart coming back from the ensuing yellow perfectly, but now had championship contenders Zach Veach and Gabby Chaves in his mirrors as the front three began to pull away from the field. Consistently quick laps gave Harvey a five-plus second lead by the halfway mark and left his pursuers firmly in his wake during the 40-lap event.
"Today's race was a little bit harder than yesterday," Harvey said. "I think yesterday we set the bar and the other guys responded pretty well. My car was fantastic again. I am not sure what happened at the start but all I saw was Zach [Veach] and Gabby [Chaves] come through in second and third. These guys are on fire in the championship and they were the last two people I wanted to see in those positions.
"I had a good restart. They were also very fast and I was pushing as hard as I could at that moment just to be sensible, to be smart and not overwork anything. The car felt as good at the end as it did at the start so just a big thank you to all my team and my sponsors. I wouldn't be here without them so this victory is as much for them as it is for me," Harvey said.

GPRC Wolves Curling
New Coaches for Wolves Curling
The Wolves Curling Team is being coached this year by the duo of Delia DeJong and Robert Maksymetz. Both bring extensive experience and expertise to the role and are excited about continuing the success seen in previous years. With the development of the CCAA Nationals, the program has added an element of elitism. This is a strong motivational component to those who are interested in long-term, competitive careers.
The team attended its first ACAC Regional Tournament at the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus in Camrose. The weekend had a few extra events that made the tournament one to be remembered for years to come. On the way to Camrose, going through tough snow conditions, the bus developed a tire problem. After investigation it was determined it was due to excessive snow buildup as opposed to a flat tire and/or a mechanical issue.
The team was late in arriving but games were moved to accommodate them. Things progressed well until Sunday when the Curling club experienced a mechanical failure with is ice machinery. The result is that some of the draws could not be played. Results are now incomplete and will stay that way until the Winter regional in February. The Winter Regional will complete the missing games and then get into its regular schedule. There will be a lot of curling going on that weekend!
The teams are competing in the city leagues and encourage folks to drop by and cheer them on.

Taylor Lautner was in attendance as well although his publicist and security team didn't allow any pics of him or with him. But nonetheless everyone looked amazing and I am so happy that they were nice and sweet in person! :)What great photos. Thanks for sharing, Vanessa!

If I'm a Blazer fan ... I'd rather lose Felton and Crawford. They won't get a lot for either guy, but there is such a thing as addition by subtraction.Hey, wait, both of those guys used to play for a team that knows a thing or two about coaching mutinies!
