Planting bulbs in turf is a great way to enhance your landscape and add a spark of interest to your lawn. Plantings can either be annual or perennial, and you can choose from a wide variety of bulbs. It adds a naturalistic touch to your lawn and provides a little surprise beauty during those times when you're not mowing as often. Now is a great time to plan and plant your own turf-bulb surprise.
First, choose a bulb that is perennial in your area.
Next, find the area where you want to plant. Remember, you must be willing to not mow the turf until the bulb foliage dies down. Waiting to mow is crucial. Around March gardeners across the South start sharpening their mower blades in anticipation of warm weather, myself included, but for bulbs to perennialize they must be allowed to keep their foliage after flowering so they can store energy for the following year.
Another important factor is irrigation. If bulbs receive too much water during the summer they tend to rot. Turf under trees generally stays drier and is a great place for establishing a perennial bulb planting. Ipheion uniflorum (spring star flower), pictured here with the bicycle, is a great choice for the South.
Ornithogalum umbellatum (star of Bethlehem) is another great bulb that will perennialize in turf.
This photo was taken at my friend Jenks Farmer's family home (www.jenksfarmer.com).
In turf areas that are more formal, an annual bulb planting might be a better choice. Instead of having a mass of bulbs, organic flowing lines work well with formal designs.
It's easy to plant your own formal bulb design in turf. Follow these few simple steps, and you will amaze people with your garden creativity next spring.
Use a can of spray paint to draw the lines of the design you want.
Then use an edger with a metal blade to cut a trench for planting.
In this type of planting, small bulbs work best. Since this is just an annual planting,
space the bulbs close together for maximum effect during the bloom time.
Make sure the bulbs are just below the turf,
then cover the trench with sand and water-in the bulbs
Crocus vernus 'Flower Record' is a great small bulb for this style of planting.
In an annual planting, once the bulbs have finished flowering you remove the bulbs from the turf. This makes a clean slate for a new design next year, and also means you don't have to wait to mow until the foliage dies down.

Ted Lefroy
IAS Faculty Sponsor: Martha Groom
Ted is director of the Centre for Environment at the University of Tasmania. An agricultural scientist by training, Ted has worked with ecologists and social scientists in applied environmental research for 20 years and is interested in the differences between concepts of nature accepted within the disciplines of ecology and evolutionary biology and those held within the popular culture. Ted will be at IAS on an Australian-American Fulbright scholarship. He describes his research topic The Myths of Nature and the Rise of Ecology as follows:
On 10 January 1969, Life Magazine featured a cover photograph of the Earth from space, declaring that humanity had entered 'The Age of Ecology'. This changed the way we see our planet. In a sense we are now all ecologists. We know that everything is connected to everything else, that humans have disrupted the balance of nature, and that ecosystems are in imminent danger of collapse unless we take drastic action. Or do we? This project will explore the origin, function and persistence of myths, misconceptions and metaphors about the natural world. How we think it's organized, how we relate to it and the implications of these ideas for environmental policy, action and regulation. These myths, misconceptions and metaphors include purpose and direction in evolution the balance of nature, the great chain of being, the survival of the fittest, the ecological community, the connectedness of everything, intrinsic value, the tragedy of the commons and rarity and endemism as measures of value.

Steve Nash becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and since the Suns didn't qualify for the playoffs, his offseason essentially started last night. Suns fans came out to lament his departure (or beg him to stay) including at least one who decided the occasion called for a display of a giant cock-and-balls on Fox Sports Arizona.

NEW YORK - A late recovery on Wall Street wiped out most of the stock market's losses Thursday, leaving theDow Jones industrial average down just 25 points.
The Dow had been down as much as 177 points but came back sharply in the last 20 minutes of trading.
Many insurance stocks fell sharply after the Supreme Court upheld most of President Obama's health care law. The stocks of hospital operators rose. The ruling upheld the central provision of the law, a requirement that almost all Americans carry health insurance.
There were varying explanations for the late comeback on the stock market. European leaders were holding their first day of summit talks to address the region's sluggish economic growth and collapse of investor confidence in the finances of weak countries like Greece and Portugal.
There wasn't any concrete or official plan to emerge from the meeting, but rumors swirled that the European Central Bank could cut interest rates, and that European leaders were becoming more conciliatory, rather than just confrontational, as they worked on how to prop up troubled countries that are too big to bail out, like Spain and Italy.
Bank stocks erased much of their losses in late trading. JPMorgan cut its loss in half. The stock was down as much as $1.93 but ended with a loss of 90 cents at $35.88. It was still the biggest loss among the 30 stocks in the Dow average.
The New York Times reported that its loss from a complex trade that went wrong could swell to $9 billion, much larger than the bank has acknowledged. The bank had said previously the loss was $2 billion but could get larger.
The Dow Jones industrial average ended down 24.75 points at 12,602.26.
Other indexes also cut their losses. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 2.91 points to end at 1,329.04 and the Nasdaq composite fell 25.83 points to 2,849.49. Both indexes had been down more earlier.
The dollar and Treasury prices rose as investors parked money in low-risk assets. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.59 percent from 1.63 percent late Wednesday. The dollar rose about a penny against the euro to $1.24.
There was little for investors to like in new reports on the U.S. economy.
The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of just 1.9 percent in the January-March quarter, according to a new government estimate. Consumer spending, which accounts for a huge part of the economy, grew 2.5 percent, below the previous 2.7 percent estimate. The four-week average of applications for unemployment benefits didn't decline, a sign that layoffs aren't easing.
News Corp. fell 1 percent after the media conglomerate said it would separate its publishing and entertainment businesses into two public companies. The stock or Rupert Murdoch's sprawling media empire, which includes The Wall Street Journal, the Fox TV network, Fox News Channeland newspapers in Australia and Britain, gave up 32 cents to $21.99.
Family Dollar Stores fell $1.93 to $67.20 after the discount retailer of household goods and food reported earnings and revenue that were short of what Wall Street analysts were expecting.
Paychex dropped 95 cents to $30.98. The company, which provides payroll, human resources and benefits services to employers, reported revenue was shy of what analysts were expecting.
Rising stocks outnumbered falling ones three to two. Volume was average at 3.8 billion shares.

In case you're wondering...yes, school is STILL in session here in New York City. Only two days to go! Since the year is coming to an end, I wanted to share some of the fun end of the year activities I have planned. Hopefully you'll find these ideas useful and inspiring, even if you're on summer break and school is the last thing on your mind (I'm SO jealous of you, by the way).
Our school has started a tradition where each class has an award ceremony at the end of the year. Since our award ceremony isn't until Monday, I'm sharing some photos from last year. I plan to do pretty much the same thing this year. I went to Dollar Tree today to get all the supplies and decorations. We are doing a Hollywood red carpet theme!
The kids have also been working on their memory books this week. They will finish them and take them home next week. You can find my Memory Book in my TpT store. The book has 31 different pages and includes both a color and black and white version.
And that's the end of our year! In just a couple days, I'll be saying good-bye to my kiddies and sending them off to first grade! As my co-teacher said to the kids, "We are setting you free to fly...just as we did with our butterflies." I like that analogy. It's a bittersweet ending. Of course, I'm excited to spend the entire summer relaxing with my baby girl. But at the same time, I'm sad to say good-bye to my kids, and especially to my co-teacher. We found out that we'll be teaching in different rooms next year. When the year began, I was hesitant about sharing a classroom with another teacher, but it has been my best teaching experience yet. I SO wish we could stay together forever! I guess, as they say, all good things must come to an end. But I'm so happy to have had the experience, and I'm definitely excited for a new year in kindergarten :)
Enjoy your summer!

Before the completion of the Tamiami Trail (U.S 41), few travelers successfully navigated the 108 miles between Miami and Naples. Wetlands, mosquitoes, alligators and cypress swamps made travel across southern Florida difficult at best.
Until the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), the interior of the Florida peninsula south of Lake Okeechobee was largely unknown, except to the Seminoles themselves. Through repeated attempts to expel the Seminoles from Florida in the 19th century, the United States government slowly learned about the region known today as the Everglades. Greater knowledge of the vast swampland hatched various schemes to exploit its resources.
Boosters envisioned agricultural enterprises converting wetlands into farms producing sugarcane, livestock and copious vegetables—enough to feed the frozen north in winter. Massive drainage efforts in order to "reclaim" the rich Everglades soil began in the early 20th century.
Roads suitable for cars followed closely behind drainage infrastructure. On April 25, 1928, the Tamiami Trail opened to travelers. Construction on the east-west section of the road lasted for 12 years. Once completed, cars could travel east from Naples to Miami for the first time.
The southernmost Seminoles, known today as the Miccosukee, took up residence alongside the Tamiami Trail in the 1920s. Many Miccosukee Seminoles worked on the construction of the road and enjoyed greater access to Miami after its completion. The Miccosukee living on the Tamiami Trail built businesses specializing in crafts and animal demonstrations and led hunting expeditions into the Everglades.

D.C. Council member Jack Evans still has raised the most money of the candidates for mayor of Washington, and Council member Muriel Bowser still has the most left to spend.
Both have a big lead on Mayor Vincent Gray, who just announced this month that he's seeking re-election and hasn't raised a penny so far. The Democratic primary is April 1.
The candidates filed financial reports late Tuesday. Evans is the first candidate to top $1 million and has $582,000 left to spend. Bowser has raised $920,000 and has $756,000 in the bank.

Senior Ambassador
Lynn's career in the Travel Industry spanned more than 20 years, providing fantastic all round business experience having worked her way through Blue Chip organisations from basic admin clerk to a Board Director and the Managing Director of an overseas villa company. It was here, in the USA, she was introduced a great Direct Selling brand which she decided to join as a family and friends consultant, simply because she simply loved the products.
Back in the UK, Lynn became self employed in 2005, running an IT development project management business but also decided to join the same Direct Selling business, with more ambitious focus resulting in growing a successful team over 5 years and winning a Direct Selling Association award in 2006.
Lynn is a Founding Leader with NYR Organic, joining in 2009. She promoted to Senior Ambassador within 3 years of her incredible journey. Currently with a team of over 3500 consultants, personally having recruited more than 250 people personally. She firmly believes that the benefits from Direct Selling can fulfil anyone's dreams and optimistic that her large, very ambitious dreams could become reality as a result of this business.
She's passionate about holistic health and her loves in life are travelling for both business and pleasure, with more simple pleasures such as spending time in her garden on the Essex/Suffolk borders and enjoying some home cooking.
Sian Hendra
Senior Ambassador
Sian is based in Bath, in the South West of England and began her career in Direct Selling, after having been a Primary school teacher, when her children were small and a full time teaching job was not easily fitting around a young family. She caught the bug of being in control of growing her own business, working the hours she chose to work and being pro-active in her work again. Taking others with her, by growing a team of Consultants that she trained and supported was a key factor for her too. That business grew well and Sian was then offered a training roll with another Direct Selling company and loved being able to pass on her experience and use her teaching skills again!
Sian joined NYR Organic in the summer of 2009, having watched the business take off after launch in April of the same year. Major personal life changes were happening and it was the right time to join. She now has a team of over 800 Consultants and has a training roll as a Field Development Trainer part time too. When she joined, she had two other jobs, but NYR Organic is now her sole employment. She still loves the flexibility of her work and the ability to be in control of what happens. As a single parent, it is important to her that she can have all of this and still be very much connected with her three children and the juggle of their busy lives. Training and inspiring others in their businesses is a key motivator and she loves to be a part of this thriving organic business.
Jane Burnside
Jane joined NYR Organic UK early in 2011 having started her direct sales career over 20 years ago to help overcome the severe agorahobia that followed the birth of her daughter Sarah. Within 2 years, she was a top recruiter worldwide within that company, consistently top in personal sales and a team turnover the equivalent today of £2.5 million. She was then headhunted to launch a Canadian children's wear company in the UK from scratch, starting with an impressive 368 new Consultants on day one. The company was nominated as one of the best newcomers in the industry by the DSA and reached sales in excess of £3 million in its third year. Jane was again head-hunted, to be Head of Sales for a children's education book company where she achieved sales of £3 million. Having joined NYROrganic UK in March, 2011, Jane qualified as an Ambassador within 8 months as well as fulfilling her role of Field Trainer for the company. At the end of her first full year, network sales were a staggering £1.2 million and this year sales will reach £2 million! This year, Jane and husband Mike have welcomed their first grandchild - guess which products she will be using!
The future is definitely organic!
Xenia Standbridge
Xenia Standbridge is a Frontline Leader with NYR Organic and worked for Neal's Yard Remedies at Head Office for nearly 10 years. During that time she was Head of Therapy Rooms with the UK Retail Team and latterly Sales Support Manager for the International Team, always involved with promoting the wonderful range of products, both skincare and medicinal.
When NYR Organic was launched in 2009 Xenia knew that she wanted to be part of this exciting new channel for Neal's Yard Remedies so she combined a full time career whilst building a Direct Selling team in her 'spare' time. In the summer of 2012 she decided it was time to put all her energy into NYR Organic and took the brave step of resigning from her employed position at Neal's Yard Remedies and fulfilled her ambition of being self-employed.
Xenia loves to train and coach her Team of Leaders and Consultants, in particular seeing individuals achieve success, income and freedom in their lives. She supports her Team, imparting her knowledge of Neal's Yard Remedies and her passion for the company, whilst helping each person fulfil their ambitions. With a geographically diverse team she also uses technology to train Consultants who are further away to ensure they have as much support as possible.
Recently Xenia has become a beekeeper and is delighted to be learning about these wonderful insects – she is really 'on brand' with the awareness that NYR has achieved with the Bee Lovely Campaign.
Xenia's loves offering the opportunity of joining NYR Organic to everyone so they can have the same chance that she did to have her own business and be part of such a great company. The journey is so empowering and there is room for everyone to work towards their dream, you can be part of this too, join now and let the rest of your life begin here.

The Net Neutrality Ruling: All Sound and Fury?
Jan 16, 2014 3:14 PM PT
A federal appeals court's Tuesday ruling on Net neutrality has sparked dire predictions: Streaming video will cost more; Internet-based multiplayer games could get expensive; and innovation might be stifled.
Credo Mobile is gathering names for a petition to Federal Communications Commission Chair Tom Wheeler.
However, nothing is going to happen for a while because "it's not a done deal," Dan Rayburn, principal analyst at Frost & Sullivan , told the E-Commerce Times.
The court's ruling "opened up a clear path for the FCC to reinstate and improve the process," he said.
Key Points of the Ruling
The court essentially said the FCC "has established that section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 vests it with affirmative authority to enact measures encouraging the deployment of broadband infrastructure," and that its arguments hold water.
However, it ruled against the FCC because its classification of broadband carriers exempted them from treatment as common carriers.
This means the FCC cannot impose the antidiscrimination and antiblocking rules laid down in the Net neutrality principles it espouses.
Is Pain on the Horizon?
It is possible that consumers might see reduced access and choice regarding new and innovative services, David Sohn, general counsel for the Center for Democracy & Technology, told the E-Commerce Times.
"If ISPs start restricting access or playing favorites, consumers will have less ability to access and choose among online services based on their own preferences because ... the ISPs will be steering them towards [their] preferred partners," Sohn explained.
Further, a non-neutral environment won't support as much online innovation, and the next YouTube or Twitter or Facebook "might never get off the ground," he suggested.
Consumers may Benefit
The death of Net neutrality might result in broadband being upgraded more quickly, argued Matt Davis, a research director at IDC.
That's because companies such as Google and Apple now have to negotiate with broadband providers for the bandwidth their apps consume, and if new deals result in bandwidth payments on a metered basis, "they will have the incentive to upgrade speeds," Davis told the E--Commerce Times.
Most markets have an alternative broadband provider, pointed out Mike Jude, Stratecast program manager at Frost & Sullivan.
"If Verizon decided the day after tomorrow that they were going to increase the rates tremendously on content providers, consumers would shop around for the best deal," Jude continued. "Verizon killing the Internet tomorrow is just not going to happen."
Further, most content goes through content delivery networks such as Akamai and EdgeCast, said Frost's Rayburn. They have service-level agreements with last mile providers delivering content to the home, and "an ISP is not going to deliberately degrade the quality of video coming into your house because you'll leave."
Reaction From the Industry
The Telecommunications Industry Association has called on "all interested parties" to maintain an ecosystem where industry can continue to innovate and consumers are protected.
The ruling will result in more innovation and choices for consumers, Verizon said. However, archrival AT&T, along with Comcast and other providers, reportedly will continue to abide by the Net neutrality rules.
"The benefit of this ruling is the FCC didn't get what it wanted, and Verizon didn't get everything it wanted," Frost's Jude told the E-Commerce Times. "They each did get something."
Ultimately, the FCC and cable companies are likely to compromise.
"The FCC will tell Verizon, 'OK, you want all these things from us -- access to more spectrum, more flexibility in how you offer services, fine; you're going to have to offer them on the principle of Net neutrality,'" Jude suggested, noting "they've done this kind of thing in the past."

Staff Reading Pick
Here is another reading pick from the Logan Library Staff.
Book: The Laramie Project
by Moises Kaufman and the members of Tectonic Theater Project
Recommended by: Joseph, Nonfiction Librarian
In 1998, Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered in Wyoming because of his sexual orientation. In this unique examination of the events that surrounded Shepard's death and its aftermath, the author and his theater group present a play written from oral interviews of Laramie residents. The result is a surprisingly intense and moving work.

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian billionaire Vincent Tan is exploring an IPO of British football team Cardiff City for as early as this year, people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, in a deal that would follow the team's recent promotion to the Premier League.
The process is in its early stages, the people said, with details on the timing, size and listing venue subject to change.
A listing would come after Manchester United Plc's debut on the New York Stock Exchange last year, which raised $233.2 million in the largest sports team IPO ever. But prospects for the Welsh team, which does not have Manchester United's track record or as wide a fan base, are unclear.
"There's a pretty mixed history of sport clubs with their IPOs. It's more an emotional investment than a rational one," said Philippe Espinasse, a former investment banker with Nomura and UBS in Hong Kong and author of 'IPO: A Global Guide'.
"I can understand that Manchester (United) was trying to list in Singapore because there is a very big fanbase of Manchester United in Southeast Asia, but it doesn't look like this is one of the major clubs."
Tan, who owns 36.1 percent of the club and is the former chairman of conglomerate Berjaya Group, has engaged at least one investment bank to lead the process, according to the people.
The initial plan is to list the club on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, one of the people said. The deal may be completed as early as this year, another person said. The sources declined to be identified as the information was not public.
The proposed deal, like any corporate transaction in its early stages, may go ahead, change direction, or be scrapped altogether.
Tan was unavailable for comment. He is Malaysia's tenth richest person with a net worth of $1.3 billion, according to Forbes.
Malaysia's IPO market, normally among Asia's quietest, roared to life last year with several multi-billion dollar listings, lifting the Kuala Lumpur exchange to rank No. 4 globally for new listing proceeds.
Still, should Tan and his advisers elect to list the club on his home turf, the listed entity would stand in stark contrast to the predominantly local groups on the Kuala Lumpur exchange.
Unlike Singapore or Hong Kong, two cities with a large international investor presence and an array of multi-national corporations, Malaysia's equity market is made up mostly of domestic funds investing in local companies.
Bankers for the IPO will also have to deal with the thorny problem of valuing sports clubs. Underwriters for Manchester United pitched the club not as a sports franchise but as a global consumer brand, something Cardiff City will find tough to argue as the club's promotion to the English Premier League comes after a 51-year absence.
Promotion to the Premier League is estimated to be worth at least 120 million pounds ($181 million) to clubs over the next five years because of access to a share of lucrative television rights deals.
Cardiff were on the brink of administration and escaped a winding-up petition at the High Court in 2010 after settling a 1.9 million pound tax bill.
Tan has sought to increase the club's marketability, especially in Asia, although his decision to change their traditional blue kit to red sparked controversy. Nicknamed the Bluebirds, having played in blue for over 100 years, Cardiff now have a red badge featuring a dragon, an emblematic beast both in Wales and Asia.
Although revenues will rise, clubs like Cardiff will need to invest heavily in new players to ensure that they are competitive in the Premier League.
Its recent fortunes run counter to another team owned by a Malaysian. Tony Fernandes, chief executive of Malaysia's Air Asia, saw his Queens Park Rangers relegated from the Premier League in what he called a "tragic" season. ($1 = 0.6638 British pounds)

text: Hi All. Before you all go "WHAT???", it's not really that bad. I am going to be upgrading to a new DROID model in the next few weeks. Still deciding, input apprecited. Anyway, the reason for the post is I am going to be selling my OG DROID to a colleague at work. She is not the most tech savvy person. When I told her the phone was rooted and running a custom Android OS she almost backed out of the deal. I told her I would set the phone back to it's original settings with the most recent OTA update from Verizon. So my question is, can someone point me in the right direction for step-by-step instructions on how to do this? Here's what I need to know: What's the most recent OTA update and where can I get the SBF and the ZIP files to do this? When I rooted I did everything via RSDLite. I'd like to re-root the phone that way if possible. How do I do that? I understand I have to use SPRecovery to flash the update.zip, which is easy enough, if I do it that way, right? How do I flash the original stock recovery back and where do I get those files? Let me know if I'm missing anything. Greatly appreciate the response. I've found multiple ways in other threads and on other sites, but everything seems to be over a year old, and isn't always straight forward.

By: Dr. Warren Riggle
Through the years, I have seen many dogs who have not used good judgment about what they eat. It is so easy for accidents to happen. Mandy, a 9 ½ year old very beloved lab mix, came in to Animal Hospital of North Asheville in the evening of June 4, 2012 as an emergency. Mandy had found a bottle of Phenobarbital tablets that had just been purchased at the drug store for Mindy, one of the other dogs in the family. Mindy takes the human drug Phenobarbital to help prevent seizures. She has been taking Phenobarbital for many years and it has been very helpful to her in preventing seizures. Since Mindy has been on the drug so long, we have prescribed large quantities of Phenobarbital at a time so her owners don't have to make as many trips to the pharmacy. Unfortunately, Mandy found the bottle on the counter, got the bottle open by chewing it and ate all 360 of the 16.2 mg Phenobarbital tablets that were in the new, unopened bottle. The average dosage of Phenobarbital for a dog Mandy's size would be 4 tablets twice daily. Mandy had eaten a ninety times overdose! Symptoms of over dosage of Phenobarbital are ataxia (drunk acting), lethargy, sedation, recumbency (inability to stand), depression, hypothermia (decreased temperature), coma, and death. In addition, there is also a concern for damage to the liver. By the time Mandy arrived at the Animal Hospital, she already could barely stand, even though the owners had seen her eat the tablets and had brought her in immediately.
At Animal Hospital of North Asheville, we are very fortunate to have access to consultants who are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week at a Pet Poison Hotline. They can inform us of the most up-to-date treatments for specific toxicities. I consulted with them immediately, and the poison control hotline veterinarian on duty recommended that we induce vomiting (which we had already done), and then give intravenous fluids, anesthesia to allow the stomach to be lavaged with a stomach tube, followed by giving activated charcoal via the stomach tube. When dogs have eaten something they should not eat, we can give apomorphine, a drug that is given intravenously to induce vomiting. Fortunately, apomorphine almost always causes a dog to vomit multiple times. Time is of the essence when we're giving apomorphine to dogs who have eaten medications or toxins, since the longer the material is in the stomach, the more of it is absorbed. Mandy vomited up a lot of food with the Phenobarbital tablets that were already dissolved. There was not any way to estimate how much of the Phenobarbital that she had ingested by looking at the multiple vomiting episodes, so we knew we needed to treat her for potential over dosage. We placed an IV catheter when she arrived and she immediately began receiving intravenous fluids.
Once we had induced vomiting and started IV fluids, Mandy was given intravenous propofol for anesthesia. I placed a large stomach tube into Mandy's stomach and flushed the stomach multiple times (this is also known as "pumping the stomach"). After the stomach had been thoroughly lavaged, 400 cc (27 tablespoons) of activated charcoal was placed in the stomach through the stomach tube. The flushing of the stomach was helpful to remove more of the Phenobarbital. The activated charcoal acts as a "sink" for the Phenobarbital, pulling it from the blood vessels back into the intestine where it can bind to the charcoal.
The first 8-10 hours were the most critical for Mandy. We have all night care for our patients with a veterinary nurse who can call the doctor at anytime during the night if there are concerns. Her vital signs were monitored very closely with a Surgivet unit that continually monitored Mandy's blood pressure, electrocardiogram, and blood oxygen levels. Her temperature was frequently taken to be sure she was maintaining her normal body temperature, and her respirations were observed closely. We were prepared to breathe for Mandy if she stopped being able to breathe adequately on her own. This would mean placing an endotracheal tube, putting her on oxygen, and helping her breathe with assistance. Mandy was kept on continuous IV Lactated Ringers Solution which kept her hydrated and helped her body eliminate the Phenobarbital.
Mandy remained very sedated all night and yet we were happy her vital signs remained stable. She was unaware of her surroundings throughout the night. By morning, Mandy was slightly aware and was able to raise her head a small amount. She stayed sedated the entire next day and through the night. Her vital signs remained stable. Early the next morning, I was thrilled to see that Mandy was able to stand for the first time and walk a few steps, though she was very wobbly.
Through the day, she was still very wobbly, but continued to improve. We performed a comprehensive blood profile and complete blood count to make sure her organ functions were remaining stable. Thankfully, Mandy's liver and kidney tests along with her other blood tests were normal when we sent her home in the evening of June 6, 2012. It took Mandy several more days to get back to normal, but she's doing fine now. We are all thankful we could administer the emergency care that Mandy needed to save her life and that she has continued to do so well.

Thank you for this article
My dog Spanky is at the emergency vet right now after ingesting 80x the dosage for a dog his size. He too stole my other dogs meds. It sounds like this dog survived, which is hopeful for us. It sounds like he is getting similar care and to expect a few days or weeks of recovery. Thanks.

Jody, we are so very sorry to hear about Spanky. We don't believe that Spanky is an AHNA patient, but we are so glad that you found our blog.

Phenobarbital overdose
My dog Thor just did the same thing - 2.7 grams of phenobarbital. He is a 80lb shepherd/border collie mix and is 6 years old in good health. He is on supportive therapy but unfortunately we couldn't get him to vomit when he was brought into the vets (still conscious) but he did get charcoal. He eventually lost consciousness and remained that way for 24 hrs. He now has moments of consciousness and even gets into sternal recumbency occasionally. However, he is having periods of thrashing and paddling and is being given diazepam when this happens. However now (48 hrs later) the diazepam is not working as well and the vets are talking about acepromazine. Is this thrashing/paddling a true seizure or a reaction to hallucinations and panic (it sometimes stops when he hears calm voice talking to him)? I'm not comfortable with doping him on top of his overdose so your opinion would be welcome.

Our dog Chip
I just came across this blog as I can't sleep after taking my dog Chip to the emergency vet nearby. My wife and I went to visit our new niece that was born yesterday and returned home 7 hours later to our dog Chip (a 6 year old cocker spaniel) who could walk but was stumbling all over the place like he was drunk especially on the tile.
A few minutes later we found his plastic pill case completely empty which he had gotten into while were gone. My wife had just loaded it with a 2 week supply (28 pills) of phenobarbital and he ate every single one of them. She left it fully loaded for the past 3-4 years next to our bed and he never touched it. But the difference this time is she just bought new peanut butter pill pockets to put them in (vs. the old beef pill pockets) and he apparently couldn't resist the new smell.
He's at the emergency vet now and they were cautiously optimistic but didn't give us any real answers of how they think he'll end up. The really scary part is they made him vomit and didnt see any trace of the pills so they had already all entered his system.
This blog gives us at least some hope that he will turn out ok. Thanks for sharing the story.

Anti-inflammatory puppy overdose
Last night my 6 month old shep/lab puppy ate approximately 27 tablets of prevacox that my older dog takes for arthritis. We induced vomitting with hydrogen peroxide. She looks fine today yet is obviously still not herself, with questionable blood in her urine this morning. Should I be concerned about any complications including hepatoxicity or kidney damage?

Please see a veterinarian ASAP
Yes, this is definitely a concern! Please see a veterinarian ASAP!

Phenobarbitol overdose
I have been the primary caregiver for our dog who was given phenobarbitol for seizures last Friday at the ER. The Doctor gave him an IV of phenobarbitol to give a quick load, then sent him home with 16.2mg to be given at home. The bottle stated give two tabs at 8am, then 1 tab every 12 hours after. My husband has given her one each morning but accidentally gave her two yesterday morning, one last night and two more this morning. Do I give him one tonight or no?

Pq side effects
Zulu is 2.5 kg rescued pinscher who started having seizures on a sunday night. The following morning (monday) the vet prescribed 4 drops of pb every 12 hrs to start and add up 1 drop every time until the seizures were under control. By Friday he was very weak and couldn't stand but had little signs of seizure. In the evening took 12 drops. That Friday night he could not sleep, nor close his eyes and acted like he was frying on the drug. Very wired and scared all night long and Drooling a little. He started coughing like there was saliva in his airways. During the day he could not stand nor drink water nor eat and this breathing was a little noise. And a little cough all through sat. On Sunday he woke up with the left nostril stuffed. Bresthing heavy. I cleaned the left nostril which helped. His bed wet and still no appetite and not thirsty. His breathing is noisy like one of this nostrils could be stuffed. He seems to be out of it and only lies in bed. I stopped giving him pb on Sat morning. He hasn't had any water or food since sat morning.
1. Is this behavior normal?
2. How long will it take for him to return to normal?
3. Was the dosage too high for his weight?

phenobarbital poisoning
Did you see the recall for Evanger's canned beef dog food? A few dogs died after eating it. It was found to be contaminated with phenobarbital..
I feed my dogs Evanger's canned organic turkey. A week ago, about an hour after they ate, one began showing symptoms of phenobarb poisoning. I didn't know then what they were symptoms of, but only that he was acting sick. I took him the the vet, who looked him over but did no tests. The vet said to bring him home and watch for vomiting. He gradually improved and was walking and eating after 5 hours but not back to his usual self for about 24 hours.
I have emailed Evanger's about this and read about them online, where their reputation is not good.
Please warn your patients of the recall and keep an eye out for symptoms in any who eat any type of Evanger's.

New York, July 18, 2013--Russian authorities must free on appeal the anti-corruption blogger and opposition activist Aleksei Navalny, who was convicted on politicized charges of embezzlement today and sentenced to five years in prison, the Committee to Protect Journalists said. Navalny was jailed immediately after the verdict was announced, according to news reports.
"Aleksei Navalny's imprisonment has a terrible chilling effect on investigative reporting and further shrinks the space for freedom of expression in Russia," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "We call on the courts to overturn this conviction, which was clearly intended to halt both Navalny's political activities and his work in exposing corruption."
Navalny's conviction stems from a 2009 case that is widely seen as politically motivated and had once been closed by authorities for a lack of evidence. Prosecutors alleged that Navalny had defrauded a state-owned company while he was working as a volunteer aide to the regional governor of Kirov. Navalny has denied the charge.
Navalny was propelled to fame as a blogger and leader of Russia's opposition movement. He is running in Moscow's September mayoral election and has declared presidential ambitions. His activities as an anti-corruption blogger appeared to have drawn special attention from authorities. In an April interview, Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin told Izvestiya: "If a person tries with all his strength to attract attention or, if I can put it, teases authorities--'Look at me, I'm so good compared to everyone else'--well, then interest in his past grows and the process of exposing him naturally speeds up."
The decision by the Leninsky District Court in Kirov drew thousands of protesters to the streets across the country.
News reports cited Navalny's defense lawyers as saying that they will appeal the verdict within 10 days.

Workplaces across Scotland are being encouraged to change their culture, as newly published stats reveal nearly half of Scottish workers think people in their work wouldn't speak about their mental health for fear of discrimination from their colleagues.
See Me, the national programme to end mental health discrimination, is launching a new campaign, working with employers to improve mental health, so people feel safe to speak out if they are struggling.
A YouGov survey of 1165 Scottish workers, commissioned by See Me, found 46 per cent disagreed that someone in their work would be well supported by management who are trained to help and advise people with mental health problems. However 31 per cent said that had personally experienced a mental health problem.
See Me said the figures demonstrate that workers have serious concerns on talking about their mental health.
To change this, they are encouraging organisations to join their See Me in Work programme as well as launching a hard hitting campaign, The Power of Okay, which includes a poem that will appear on cinema screens, about the isolation people feel when they can't speak out at work.
Ian Greenhill, one of the founders of production company Something Something, wrote and performed the poem, based on his own experiences, and also directed and produced the video with partner Jordan Laird.
He said: "I personally think it's important to start the discussion about mental health and the simple start-off point of 'okay' seemed really powerful.
"We just want a discussion to be started rather than people being scared of saying the wrong thing and just not saying anything.
"If we all start out at that base level of human kindness, I think the world - and workplace - would be a lot better."
The See Me in Work programme works with employers to create inclusive and welcoming cultures where there is a good understanding of mental health. This includes working with senior management, improving policies and training all staff.
The programme also looks at how much money companies could save by improving the mental health of their employees, reducing absences and staff turnover.
Judith Robertson, See Me programme director, added: "You don't have to be an expert to speak about mental health, just asking someone if they are okay can be a powerful thing.
"In the workplace, there needs to be enough trust and openness for people with mental health problems to feel confident enough to talk, without the fear that they will be stigmatised and discriminated against.
"It is crucial that leadership in promoting better mental health comes from the top and staff are supported by policies and in practice.
"It is against the law to discriminate against someone because of a mental health condition, but if people don't feel they will be supported by management, as the figures show, then people won't be able to speak about important issues.
The Power of Okay campaign will be shown in cinemas, online and on radio through November and December.

TV Report Features Innovative Teacher Sarah Carlson '08
February 16, 2013
"Long lectures in the classroom may become a thing of the past," begins a report by Salt Lake City CBS affiliate KUTV which features Sarah Carlson. A physics teacher at Brighton High School and 2008 graduate of DePauw University, Carlson has " 'flipped' the traditional classroom and transformed it into what will likely be the classroom of the future," according to the station.
Flip teaching, as it's called, has the teacher create videos of his or her lectures so a teacher can spend more time interacting with students, or "coaching" them, instead of lecturing.
"A flipped classroom means you are taking what is done in a classroom and doing it at home and doing what you do at home in the classroom," Carlson tells the station. She was a physics major and Science Research Fellow at DePauw.
See the report at the TV station's website.
A recent story in the Cottonwood/Holladay Journal points out that Carlson has been awarded a $9,999 grant from the Canyons Education Foundation to purchase iPads for her classrooms to support her innovative teaching techniques. "The flipped classroom is a new idea indeed—it's only been around since 2007," writes Sara Weikel. "In this revolutionary teaching model, the teacher records podcasts of his or her lectures for students to watch at home, Carlson said. The next day, students do what has been traditionally assigned as homework together in class ... The main benefit of the flipped classroom is that it allows students more support from their teacher and peers, whereas if they get stuck on a homework problem at home that their parents may not be able to help them, she said."

MACON, Ga. – After finishing the season with a team-best 2.56 ERA, Lipscomb redshirt-junior pitcher Josh Cotham has been named to the All-Atlantic Sun Conference second team and the All-Atlantic Sun Academic team as announced by the league on Tuesday.
"Josh is the epitome of the student- athlete excelling in the classroom and on the field," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "He's been one of the backbones of our pitching staff this season and really we're looking forward to his leadership on the mound and in the dugout next season. His commitment in the weight room and to his training is just like it is in the classroom, second-to-none."
The crafty righty held opponents to a .236 average at the plate and fanned 72 batters while only walking 21. The Mount Juliet native was named A-Sun Pitcher of the Week earlier in the month after tossing a four-hit, complete game shutout against Florida Gulf Coast.
Cotham also worked hard in the classroom where the right-hander graduated this spring with a 3.79 in corporate management leading to his selection to the all-academic team.
USC Upstate's Gaither Bumgardner earned A-Sun Player of the Year honors while FGCU's Ricky Knapp garnered A-Sun Pitcher of the Year laurels. Jacksonville's Dan Gulbransen was named Scholar Athlete of the Year.

About Recessed Lighting
Recessed lighting, also known as can lighting or pot lighting, all refer to the same category of lighting; these fixtures are mounted in the ceiling (or wall) as opposed to on the wall (or ceiling).
One of the most common misconceptions is that all recessed lighting is the same. There are differences. You should not assume that you can use just any type of recessed fixture for any application. There are a myriad of functional and aesthetic differences in the world of recessed lights.
Why Use Recessed Lights?
Whether you are undertaking new construction or a remodel project, recessed lighting is designed to add general illumination, highlight architectural elements and to enhance the aesthetic quality of a space. It gives you the ability to add another lighting 'layer' (be it ambient, task or decorative) to the space without having to see the fixture.
Decisions and Design
There are a lot of decisions involved in recessed lighting design such as spacing, sizes, housing (IC-rated vs. non IC-rated, non-perforated, damp location rated, etc.), trims, location, what kind of light bulb (lamp) used (LED vs. incandescent vs. fluorescent). It is downright overwhelming.
The lighting experts at Total Recessed Lighting can help you with these decisions and design concerns. You can contact our experts via live chat, phone or email. Don't feel left in the dark!

With its collections of ancient, modern and contemporary art, the Musée de Grenoble offers you a chance to traverse the history of western painting from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Included are major masterpieces of classical Flemish, Dutch, Italian and Spanish painting; one of 20th century Europe's richest collections; and all the great post-1945 contemporary art trends, right up to the most recent artworks of the 2000s.
Wavering between a musical career and the visual arts, Paul Klee enrolled at the Munich Academy in 1899. He moved to that city and, in 1911, became involved with the activities of the Blaue Reiter group; the journeys he made in 1914 in North Africa helped him to find his own language.
At the same time, his drawings took a more symbolic turn and presented motifs like ladders, parallel lines and arrows… while his vibrant watercolours attained a perfection of crystalline transparency. In 1921, when he joined the Bauhaus as an instructor, his teaching, like his writings of that time, revealed a conception of art steeped in German Romanticism and Hegel's philosophy.
Landscape with Child was produced early on in his Bauhaus period. The small format picture is made up of motifs of trees and houses, simple and naïve, along with a child placed at bottom left. These "signs", distributed over the canvas in a sort of right-angled grid, are layered height-wise, and can be deciphered like a musical score.
The monochrome pink, blue and purple shades are brightened here and there by touches of yellow. The fine layers of paint play on their superposition and transparency. Landscape with Child, a wonderful little work whose silver frame highlighted with purples has been conserved, opens up a world of intense poetry, a subdued case made for this synthesis of arts so dear to Paul Klee.

McConnell to testify on Kentucky's heroin problem
U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell will testify during a Senate caucus hearing Wednesday about Kentucky's growing heroin problem.
The Republican leader is scheduled to testify at the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control hearing at 2:30 p.m. EDT in Washington.
Heroin use has become a big issue in Kentucky politics after a report showed heroin overdose deaths in the state increased 650 percent in 2012. A bill in the General Assembly would have increased penalties for major heroin dealers and expanded the state's substance abuse treatment programs. But the bill died on the legislature's last day despite having the support of leaders from both parties.
In March, McConnell met with local business and medical leaders in Florence to discuss the state's heroin problem.

Synopsis In "Legal Alien," poet Pat Mora explores the cultural tension present in the lives of Mexican Americans. The speaker in the poem describes a bicultural individual who is able to fluently speak both English and Spanish and who uses both languages in his/her everyday work and social life. The individual works a standard office job and frequents Mexican restaurants. But the individual has a difficult time being fully accepted by his/her community. Americans view the person as "exotic," "inferior," and "definitely different," while Mexicans see the person as "alien," an outsider. As a result, the individual becomes viewed by society as a token of the bicultural experience, only existing on the margins of both cultural worlds. To preserve the self, the individual presents an outer front to hide the pain of having been prejudged. So the individual is in fact a "legal alien"—one who belongs yet is not fully accepted by society. Mora uses a Mexican American individual as the subject of the poem and intends him/her to represent the collective experience of Mexican American people. The poem is written in free verse—twenty-two lines of varying meter that do not employ a rhyme scheme. Mora uses Spanish juxtaposed with English to highlight the tension in the individual's life: when the individual is asked in English "How's life?", he/she responds in Spanish "Me'stan volviendo loca" (They are making me crazy). Mora also employs antithesis (/topics/literaryterms/complete-index/absurd) by positing "American" and "Mexican" as opposing factors to highlight the cultural tension in the individual's experience. "Legal Alien" appears in Mora's poetry collection titled Chants, which was published in 1984 by Arte Publico Press. In the collection, many of the poems are thematically related to the diverse cultural experiences of those living in the Southwestern desert region of the United States. Chants was awarded the Harvey L. Johnson Book Award by the Southwest Council of Latin American Studies in 1984 and the Southwest Book Award by the Border Regional Library in 1985. A prolific author of poetry, nonfiction, fiction, and children's literature, Pat Mora continues to be a voice for the Mexican American experience.

Peace and Parking: Local films flying high at festivals
One month after two local movies premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, the directors of both films say the good news keeps coming–- along with the crowds.
"Our screening in Richmond was great!" exclaims Chris Farina, director of World Peace and other 4th Grade Achievements. The film showed there Sunday, April 25 at the historic Byrd Theater in Carytown to an estimated 300 people, Farina explained the following day, as he drove north to D.C. to catch a flight to California for the Newport Beach Film Festival.
The World Peace film focuses on local teacher John Hunter's World Peace Game, which he developed over the past three decades and has taught to students from fourth grade through high school. In addition to Newport Beach Film Festival, it has also been accepted to the Bergen International Film Festival in Norway in October, which Farina and Hunter plan to attend.
But perhaps even more exciting than an oversees festival, Farina says, is a May 4 event in Roanoke, where the film will screen to the Virginia Association of School Superintendents. Charlottesville Schools and Albemarle Schools superintendents Rosa Atkins and Pam Moran will lead discussion with Hunter following the film.
"We were almost thinking about this as a focus group," says Farina.
If the film Farina made is doing well, the one in which he stars–- The Parking Lot Movie-– is also racking up rave reviews on the festival circuit according to its director, Meghan Eckman.
"It's going awesome! I'm in Boston right now at the Independent Film Festival," says Eckman, expressing delight at a sold-out screening held April 25.
Eckman and assistant director Christopher Hlad will return to Charlottesville for just two days before hitting the road for another festival–- Hot Docs in Toronto–- where The Parking Lot Movie, a documentary about the attendants in Farina's Corner Parking Lot, will screen on a rooftop as one of five featured films on the festival's website.
"I didn't know if it would have interest beyond local," says Eckman. "I'm actually finding that Europeans love it, Canadians love it. It speaks to larger themes."
While Eckman and Farina are jetting around the country and the globe screening their local films to international audiences, both say they look forward to another chance to share it in Charlottesville. That may happen in October, as both directors say they're hoping for inclusion in the Virginia Film Festival.
"I know there's a lot of people who still want to see it, "says Eckman.

it's true...there is an extensive network of tunnels beneath that parking lot shack. they date back to revolutionary times, when hessian soldiers stationed in the parking lot would smuggle in forbidden german sausages to eat at their raucous oktoberfest parties.
Pe-ewpty Pe-ewpety Pants
Do an article on Gary O. and his misappropriation of funds with Chville...Tribune may be a good source to view their rescent section on the City budget
I heard that all those Parking lot attendants live in the basement of that tiny house in the parking lot. AND: there are tunnels from that basement that lead to the basements of all the restaurants and bars on the corner. It is all very "hush-hush", but that is why they all work there for so long: the benefits!
Tunnels hmm? Maybe that's where my Dwarts are.

Scotty Cardle will face Gary Fox at the SECC in Glasgow as the Central and Northern Area lightweight champions go head to head on the undercard of Ricky Burns' WBO World lightweight title defence against Raymundo Beltran, live on Sky Sports on September 7.
Cardle progressed his record to 11-0 when he beat Maxi Hughes to take the Central Area strap in Blackpool in April, and the Lytham man with a Glasgow heritage hopes his latest bout will act as an effective English title eliminator as he looks to start mixing it with the best in a deep division.
"There was talk about the fight being an official eliminator for the English title," said Cardle. "That isn't happening but it is still a good step towards the English title for whoever wins. Kirk Goodings and Paul Truscott are fighting for an eliminator for the English so it could be between the winner of that fight and this fight to go for the English.
"It is a very big division, a very competitive division. I am number ten in Britain in the Boxing News ratings at the moment and I was very pleased to see that and I do fancy mixing it with the best of them in the division. The English title is around the corner for me and I think the British is near enough as well. I want to start mixing it with the domestic greats.
"I know enough about Gary Fox, I have seen some YouTube clips and I think I have learnt enough to beat him. I cannot take him too lightly because he has a great record and it is a step up for me again and I am expecting the best Gary Fox to come out on the night so I am looking forward to it.
"This fight is a big thing for me because as a pro it is my first fight in Glasgow. Glasgow is where all my family are from, so it is going to be a very big night for me with all my family and friends from Glasgow coming and I am looking forward to them seeing me put on a good show.
"I have always been a Lytham lad, I was born and raised there and I have lived there since the day that I was born. But all my family on both sides are from Glasgow and that is my blood so it is a big thing for me to fight in Glasgow. I have always wanted to fight in Glasgow because I know what kind of atmosphere the fans bring and as well as that my family are all from Glasgow, so I am really looking forward to it."
Cardle vs. Fox forms part of a brilliant bill in Glasgow. The undercard for Burns' latest World title defence also features the return of Paul Appleby, Prizefighter light welterweight champion Chris Jenkins, super middleweight prospect Callum Smith plus Jonathan Slowey, Stephen Simmons, David Brophy and Michael Roberts.

What the sHell am I, Lucy, actress and mother, doing scaling a derrick on a drillship in New Zealand??
My heart was pounding as we made the ascent and my mouth was dry. I felt shell-shocked for half an hour after we reached the top. We have just scaled a 60 metre tower and the wind is buffeting us on all sides. I'm writing this using a small laptop we've brought with us.I'm safe, I'm ok, my carabiners are sound, but it was pretty scary! I think I'd rather be home with a latte, but I don't feel that I had a choice. Instead of seeing the melting of Arctic sea ice as a dire warning to humanity, the oil barons are cynically using it as an invitation to dig up more of the stuff that caused the problem in the first place. This aging rust bucket, the Noble Discoverer (more like the Ignoble Destroyer), is one of the oldest drillships in the world and it will be spearheading Shell's crazy foray into the dangerous and pristine Arctic.Despite admitting to woefully inadequate means to deal with oil spills, Shell is proceeding, determined to be "the first" in the Arctic.
Clearly in a cost/benefit analysis, Shell reckons that an Arctic spill is an acceptable risk to them. But make no mistake, due to the harshness and remoteness of the Arctic environment, an oil spill up there will make the Gulf of Mexico look like a children's party. An oil spill under the ice could rage for years before they could cap it. The plankton that prop up the whole ecosystem would die and the ripple effect would be heinous. Join me in sending a message to Shell that devastating one of the world's last pristine environments is not acceptable to us!
Who died and made the oil barons God? Don't they want their kids to grow up in a world where polar bears and the magical narwhal still exist?Unless we stand up now, I fear our grandchildren will condemn us for our laziness, our stupidity and our cruelty.
We have the technology and the know-how for a clean and viable future. Inevitably, we must more to a clean energy economy.
Let's do it while there is still an Arctic left to save!
- Lucy
