WASHINGTON — A bill to deal with the immigration surge at the border was headed for a procedural vote in the Senate Wednesday despite bickering between Democrats and Republicans over which party is to blame for Congress's failure to act.
Days ahead of Congress' five-week summer recess, a $3.5 billion emergency spending bill offered by Democrats to help deal with young migrants crossing the border illegally seemed more dead than alive, parliamentary machinations notwithstanding.
Republicans indicated they would lend their support for a motion to position the issue on the floor for consideration because getting to that next step in the Senate's arcane parliamentary process would allow them to offer amendments. The GOP is concerned about being seen as simply blocking the legislation amid intense public scrutiny of the crisis in South Texas.
"If we don't do anything to deal with the causes or deal with a remedy for this growing humanitarian crisis it's going to get worse," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said on the Senate floor, ahead of the vote.
Still, the inclusion in the legislation of hundreds of millions of dollars to fight Western wildfires and provide aid for Israel's defense didn't look to be a sufficient lure to ensure passage before lawmakers vacate Washington at the end of this week. Republicans are demanding legal changes rejected by Democrats to return the young migrants more quickly to Central America.
Lawmakers said they would try to act separately to send $225 million to Israel to help with its Iron Dome anti-missile program as it battles Hamas, while action on the wildfire money was being put off.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said it was Republicans' fault that the Senate looked set to adjourn for August without addressing what both parties have called a humanitarian crisis on the border. Republicans "oppose everything the president wanted. Here is an example of that," he said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., disputed that, saying, "The problem is the Democratic Senate."
House Republicans, meanwhile, were hoping they could act on their own solution, a slimmed-down, $615 million measure that leaves out the money for wildfires and Israel but includes the contentious policy changes rejected by Senate Democrats. These include dispatching the National Guard to the border and changing the law to permit unaccompanied migrant youths to be returned more quickly to Central America without deportation hearings that are now required.
But there was no guarantee House Speaker John Boehner would be able to count on enough support to pass the bill as he aimed for a vote Thursday.
Many conservatives remained skeptical, and Reid fomented those concerns by threatening to use the House bill as a vehicle to attach the Senate's comprehensive immigration overhaul bill, which the House has rejected.
Boehner responded angrily, accusing Reid of "making a deceitful and cynical attempt to derail the House's commonsense solution."
"So let me be as clear as I can be with Sen. Reid: The House of Representatives will not take up the Senate immigration reform bill or accept it back from the Senate in any fashion," Boehner said in a statement.
More than 57,000 unaccompanied minors have arrived since October, mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. Many are fleeing vicious gangs and are trying to reunite with family members, but they also are drawn by rumors that once here, they would be allowed to stay.
The Homeland Security Department says overwhelmed border agencies will be running out of money in coming months, and President Barack Obama asked Congress to agree to provide $3.7 billion.

To celebrate Mother's Day, Revolution players Scott Caldwell and Brad Knighton volunteered at Rosie's Place on Wednesday, May 7, helping serve dinner to local women in need. The pair helped plate the meal, serve guests and clear tables before taking a tour of the facility.
This weekend, you can support Rosie's Place and their mission to provide a safe and nurturing environment that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives, by taking part in the raffle at the New England Revolution Charitable Foundation table on game day. Located at the top of the ramps by sections 102-3, the raffle will include a Clint Dempsey-signed Seattle Sounders FC jersey and a New England Revolution team-signed jersey, and all funds raised will go to Rosie's Place.

Helene Travels
Hi everyone !
Every now and then, we tell ourselves that the world is going wrong, that it's true that we live in the most polluted times Earth has ever experienced , we try to recycle, not to throw garbage on streets, hear some warmth climate change facts every so often, and then get back to our lives thinking there's nothing we can do anyway...
That's what I to tell myself before I stopped finding excuses not do something about it.
There's actually many things we can do, from reducing our garbage load, buy organic food, become vegetarian, or just thinking about unplugging our electrical devices when we don' t use them. It might not seem much but if a lot of people do it, then it becomes relevant. Every small efforts count.
I'm not perfect : I'm vegetarian /vegan wannabe, I sometimes take long baths instead of quick showers and feel discourage to contemplate the long way ahead of us...
...and then I remember, I can actually change things, even at my small level and bring some love and peace in this hard hard world...LIKE YOU CAN
I really believe that the world can get better

TRIPOLI, Libya, June 6 (UPI) -- Libyans need to get used to moving around in response to a decision to move the headquarters of a national oil company to Benghazi, a university professor said.
Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zidan announced Libya's National Oil Corp. was among those companies relocating from Tripoli to Benghazi. Tripoli University Political Science Professor Said Laswad told The Tripoli Post the decision would better integrate the Libyan population.
"It is courageous and a positive decision on the part Zidan's government," he was quoted as saying Thursday.
Much of Libya's oil wealth is centered in the east of the country rather than near Tripoli, situated near the western border with Tunisia.
"Those who work for NOC in Tripoli [and] have never been to Benghazi 'til now will be able to move there, work and live in another Libyan city where they may stay forever," Laswad said.
Benghazi councilmen applauded the measure. They said the oil industry was centered in the eastern part of the country before Moammar Gadhafi came to power in 1969, the Post reported
Libya has struggled to maintain security in the wake of civil war in 2011. British energy company BP pulled some of its staff out of Libya in response to the security situation last month.

Apple has reportedly engaged in talks to stream films to a long-rumored Apple-created TV, among other devices, according to sources speaking to Reuters. The company was allegedly talking to EPIX to stream movies to Apple's devices, but according to Reuters' sources, those talks were in the preliminary stages and have since stalled.
Talk of a TV created by Apple has been floating around for many years, but the company has not yet released such a product nor commented on rumors about one. In Walter Isaacson's recent biography of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, however, it was revealed that Jobs was at least thinking about how to develop an integrated television set that would be "completely easy to use" and seamlessly sync data across iCloud, similar to current Apple devices like the iPhone and iPad. Jobs had reportedly tapped iTunes creator Jeff Robbin to help with the project, and told Isaacson that he had "finally cracked" a way to make TVs as simple and elegant as Apple's other products.
But even though Jobs was pondering the concept, it doesn't necessarily mean that Apple is currently planning to roll out such a product. According to Reuters, a TV was part of Apple's streaming plan, though the publication offers no further details about the supposed product. Unsurprisingly, Apple officially told Reuters that the news was "speculation" and did not comment further.

Fourteen-page booklet, plus references, adapted from Peter Earl & Tim Wakeley (2005) Business Economics: a Contemporary Approach (ISBN 9780077103927).
Online Text and Notes in Intermediate Microeconomics
This is a blog, begun in May 2012, in which Prof. Arvan answers questions from students about Microeconomics (Principles or Intermediate). Posts are organised by date and by topic.
This is a 234-page textbook written by a graduate student. It is available as a single 1Meg PDF file. A separate version with far less maths is also available. The text is in four sections: "One: The Optimising Individual", "One v. One, One v. Many", "Many v. Many" and "The Role of Government".
Lecture outline from a module in intermediate micro.
This is a complete textbook covering intermediate microeconomics, released online under a Creative Commons license and downloadable as a 352-page PDF file. Chapter titles are "What is Economics?" "Supply and Demand", "The US Economy", "Producer Theory", "Consumer Theory", "Market Imperfections" and "Strategic Behaviour". This text contains a number of topics and case studies not covered in other texts, for details of which see the home page.
Dating from 2015, this is a fifteen-chapter free online textbook in PDF format, intended for a one-semester course in microeconomic theory. It is Canadian in origin, but the examples are international.
"An understanding of individual optimizing behaviour is developed, and this behaviour is in turn used to link household decisions on savings with firms' decisions on production, expansion and investment. The text then explores behaviour in a variety of different market structures. The role of the government is examined, and the key elements in the modern theory of international trade are developed."
Note-form PDFs from a 20-lecture graduate-level course delivered in 2004, along with a reading list, two problem sets and a sample exam. From the course description, "Overall, this course focuses on microeconomics, with some topics from macroeconomics and international trade. It emphasizes the integration of theory, data, and judgment in the analysis of corporate decisions and public policy." The main course text is Parkin, "Microeconomics".
This course webpage supports Intermediate Microeconomic Theory as taught by Sergei Izmalkov of MIT in 2006. Follow the download this course link for a zip file that contains this 22-lecture course. It is divided into "Producer Part," "Consumer Part," "Equilibrium Analysis," "Strategic Considerations" (including asymmetric information) and "Special Topics". Some brief lecture notes for each are archived in PDF.
An Introduction to Investment Theory is an online textbook "designed for use in a four-week teaching module for master's students studying introductory finance", written by William N. Goetzmann of Yale University, School of Management. Eight chapters covering theories of financial investment decision, risk, portfolio selection, asset pricing, arbitrage, capital market efficiency. Assumes some basic statistical knowledge, but presentation mostly uses diagrams and simple algebra.
The Nobel Foundation makes available a great deal of material on each of the Economics prize winners, including video of each Prize Lecture since Robert Mundell in 1999. As well as a lay introduction to each prize winner's research, there are "Advanced information" links giving a more technical explanation. This link is to the Economics Network's quick index of lecture videos and related materials on the site. Each video is a full lecture (usually between 40 and 60 minutes) with good audio and video quality, and pitched at a non-technical audience. Transcripts of each lecture are available.
Nicholas Economides' network economics home page, with links to his main papers on the subject including (most useful for teaching) his 'Economics of Networks' review article, interactive bibliography, and links to US anti-trust materials centred on the Department of Justice vs Microsoft case.
Twelve tutorials on microeconomic topics are available on this course web site, each divided into short chunks and with graphics and Excel worksheets. The topics are: Reservation Prices, Supply and Demand, Price Elasticity, Consumer Choice, Consumer Demand, Production, Costs, Price-taking Firms, Monopolistic Firms, Wage-taking Firms, and Monopsonistic Firms.
Behavioral Economics is a draft of the opening chapter of C Camerer, G Loewenstein and M Rabin (eds)(2003) Advances in Behavioral Economics, Princeton University Press. It covers the main heuristics and judgement biases revealed by psychological experiments and statistical surveys on choice, and the implications for macroeconomics, financial economics, labour economics and other areas where 'rational' choice is traditionally assumes.
This is a large (half-megabyte) PDF file, scanned from 21 pages of typewritten lecture notes, in which Nobel laureate McFadden tells a witty alternative tale of Robinson Crusoe. Walras and Keynes appear on his island to offer advice on the maximisation of happiness and his employment of Man Friday. Indifference curves, production possibility curves and profit maximisation are among the topics addressed.
This is the complete text (24 chapters) of an intermediate microeconomics textbook, with many graphics. The first edition was published in 1986, with additional chapters added in 1990. Main sections include "Competitive Equilibrium in a Simple Economy", "Complications, or Onward to Reality", "Judging Outcomes" and "Applications, Conventional and Un-". Each chapter includes questions at the end.
Network Economics is an introductory text by Anna Nagurney of the Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts. It includes notes and reading list on economics of networks, mostly as text and basic diagrams. Includes cost and distance optimisation problems, congestion (including Braess's Paradox) and applications of networks to economics.
PDF lecture notes and class exercises are found under the "Public resources" tab for this 2017/18 course on market structure and the theory and practice of regulation.
Ten Excel spreadsheets, each with a worksheet in Microsoft Word format, are held here. Each spreadsheet takes several different inputs from the student and the worksheets give specific guidance on how to use them. Topics are: Working with Lines, Market Equilibrium, Market with tax, Cardinal Utility, Consumer Choice, Income and Substitution Effects, Products and Costs, Competitive Firm, Competitive Industry, and Monopoly.
A hand-out for a principles/intermediate level course in microeconomics, discussing a method to measure aggregate consumer welfare in a market economy without invoking individual utility functions. It should also prove useful to students of managerial economics who are interested in rigorous analysis.
Archived page from a course taught in 2008. It contains 100+ lecture slides covering the demand and supply sides of partial equilibrium analysis, including effects of shifts in demand and supply, price elasticities of demand and supply, short- and long-run changes, efficiency and welfare analysis, impact of taxes and price controls, extension to international trade. Uses clear graphics and simple equations. Also includes a course syllabus, coursework assignments and a sample exam paper.
This course webpage for Prices and Markets, as taught at Strathclyde University includes sets of lecture slides for the 2003/4 course in PDF, as well as problem sets (short answer and True/False) with answers in a separate file. There are also some sample questions from past exams. The site is no longer online so this link goes to the Web Archive's copy.
This 134-page PDF file contains notes for slides for the whole of the fifth edition of Varian's textbook on intermediate microeconomics.
Lecture notes on theory of the firm, growth of firms and industry concentration, barriers to entry, product differentiation, welfare effects of monopoly and other industrial topics. Some handwritten; most contain graphical presentation as well as algebra, some accompanied by slides. Linked to 10-week Industrial Economics course at City University, as taught in 2005.
This complete set of materials for teaching income tax has been used in a second year undergraduate microeconomics course for economics specialists at the London School of Economics. The material could also be used in a public finance course. There are 107 Powerpoint slides, a worked example to support the lecture, a class activity involving student presentations (printable instructions for students and for lecturers) and some assessment questions.
This link takes you directly to a PDF file of a Robert Marks chapter on demand. It covers a "theory of market demand from a small number of axioms of rational choice", including a theory of rational choice, utility bundles and indifference curves, constrained maximisation of utility, the Edgeworth Box, individual demand function, comparative statics, including the Slutsky equation and the market demand curve and relevant elasticities.
This is a course web site from 1999, with links to sites for previous years. It includes problems sets, suggested readings and past exams papers. Topics addressed are: Axiomatic development of utility functions, Axiomatic development of expected utility, Applying expected utility theory, Introduction to Revealed Preference, Consumer Theory Handout, Consumer Theory: Summing Up, and Applied Consumer Theory. All material is in PDF.
Created to accompany an intermediate microeconomics course, these PDF files include text, equations and graphs, with hyperlinks to help the reader navigate around each of the 13 tutorials. The files also include interactive multiple-choice quizzes. Topics covered include Decisions and Markets, Pricing and Equilibrium and Tradeoffs and Choice.

PowerPoint presentation depicting decision-making under risk, showing how risk attitudes can be examined using choices among lotteries or willingness to pay for insurances. Shows how risk attitudes can be captured in convexity of the indifference curve or strict concavity of the utility function; and how risk aversion can be quantified by the ratio of second and first derivatives of the utility function, implying that it falls as wealth increases.

After threatening to leave, they agreed to take it back with a safety certificate. After that was done, the dude on the phone told me next time, just keep it on fire and theft and change the coverage.
Good point....if ure car is 19 just turning 20...dont remove the coverage...they wont cover it again especially ING or Belairdirect...thts y even in summer i keep the 90 4runner under parking insurance.

On the Ball: Playoff seeds are out
OK, the Vermont Principals' Association released field hockey and soccer pairings this afternoon, and there were few surprises. The VPA's new in-season "Sports Rankings" – essentially division standings based on scores reported by coaches – proved to be pretty accurate. Teams ended up where they were projected to almost without exception.
ADDISON COUNTY — Across the United States, nine teens have committed suicide in the past month, a result of anti-gay bullying.
While Vermont has been lucky enough to avoid similar sobering incidents, local school and community organizations are adding their voices to the nationwide campaigns aimed at remembering the teens who died and raising awareness about the issues that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) teens — and others — face.
ADDISON — Addison selectmen are sponsoring a Thursday evening forum at Addison Central School to explore the possibility of converting ACS into an independent private school, known as a town academy, that would serve Addison's elementary-school-age pupils.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College men's soccer team entered Saturday's home game riding high, with an 11-1 record, a five-game winning streak, a No. 13 ranking in NCAA Division III, and a chance to clinch first place in NESCAC against a Bates team that entered at 4-7-1 overall, 1-6-1 in the league.
Things didn't go as planned.
Bates cashed in on its only shot on goal, a first-half direct kick, and then held on under relentless Panther second-half pressure for a 1-0 upset.
MIDDLEBURY — Last fall, Weybridge Elementary School sixth-graders were able to look at and even touch maps that were drawn more than 500 years ago — something that just less than a decade ago would not have been possible.
Middlebury College's Special Collections archive, where the students were able to engage with the century-old maps, is only just beginning to see the light of day.
MIDDLEBURY — The UD-3 school board is welcoming a new Middlebury member and is seeking to fill another vacancy created by the recent resignation of longtime Shoreham member Bill O'Neill.
Quinn Mecham will serve the balance of the term (through next February) of former UD-3 board member Connie Leach of Middlebury, who recently moved out of town. The ID-4 school board, which represents Middlebury, appointed Mecham to the position, which will then be up for grabs on Town Meeting Day next March. Mecham is an assistant professor of political science at Middlebury College.

BARRINGTON, Ill. - Wednesday, November 14th 2012 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In a major milestone for both the forestry and climate change arenas, EcoPlanet Bamboo has become the first company to receive carbon validation through the VCS (Verified Carbon Standard) for its large scale commercial bamboo plantations in Nicaragua.
EcoPlanet Bamboo converts degraded land in some of the poorest parts of the world into commercially productive bamboo plantations, not only sequestering and storing significant volumes of atmospheric carbon dioxide, but providing growing timber markets with a sustainable alternative source of fiber. In a country and category that have traditionally not benefitted from significant carbon finance, this achievement solidifies the social and environmental impacts that the Company is making, both locally, regionally and internationally.
Validation by the Rainforest Alliance of an initial 816,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the reforestation of 3,370 acres of highly degraded land is a major policy achievement for a species that has until now fallen in a grey area between agriculture and forestry. Despite its contribution within forests globally, bamboo's ecological status as a grass combined with its unique growth patterns have made the quantification and understanding of its carbon sequestration benefits challenging. As the first company to develop accurate scientific methods for the measurement of such benefits, EcoPlanet Bamboo is driving international policy for the inclusion of bamboo within the ongoing forestry and land use debate.
"This VCS validation not only provides EcoPlanet Bamboo with the ability to continue to expand internationally, but lays the benchmarks for the development of an industry that is projected to reach $20 billion by 2015," says Troy Wiseman, CEO of EcoPlanet Bamboo.
EcoPlanet Bamboo is a global leader in the sustainable production of certified bamboo timber with operations in Central America and South Africa. For more information visit our booth at ForestDay 6 during COP18 in Doha, Qatar, Dec 1st 2012, or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Etihad Airways President and Chief Executive Officer, James Hogan, was named CAPA Aviation Executive of the Year 2012 at the Centre for Aviation's global awards for excellence and leadership, presented in Hong Kong last night.
The CAPA Aviation Executive of the Year is awarded to the executive who has had the greatest individual influence on the aviation industry, demonstrating outstanding strategic thinking and innovative direction for the growth of the business and the industry.
CAPA Executive Chairman, Peter Harbison, who presented James Hogan with the award, said: "The Gulf carriers have progressively disturbed the global airline equilibrium over recent years, and 2012 has seen a rapid escalation of this process. None has been more distinctive and mould-changing than Etihad Airways, under the leadership of James Hogan.
"The strategy James has adopted – of penetrating each of the key regions with targeted partnerships and equity investments – has set a new, and irreversible, direction for the global airline industry."
James Hogan said he was deeply honoured to receive the award, particularly at this point in the airline's brief nine-year history.
"This award is a powerful endorsement of the airline's 'game-changing' strategy of building strong bilateral partnerships with airlines the world over.
"Partnerships and equity investments have been, and continue to be, key to achieving scale and strengthening our competitive position.
"Our codeshares, for example, with 41 partner airlines expand our network of destinations to 327 major cities – more than any other Middle Eastern carrier.
"The result is a winning customer proposition, a constant and growing revenue stream, and continuing progress toward our goal of sustainable profitability."
James Hogan acknowledged the support of the airline's shareholder and board of directors.
"Etihad Airways would not have achieved its commercial success or best-in-class ranking without the vision and leadership of this important group of stakeholders.
"From the Government's ambitious vision for the future – the landmark Abu Dhabi 2030 Plan – to the backing of the Board for continuing investment in new technology, facilities and services, Etihad Airways is well-supported in its commercial endeavours."
James Hogan also paid tribute to the hard work and dedication of the airline's 10,000 staff worldwide.
"This award would not have been possible without their commitment and determination to be the world's best. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them and I accept the award on their behalf."

Since we are located on a very busy street, we require that all cats entering or exiting this practice must be contained in a pet carrier, pillowcase or a leash and harness. A cat wrapped in a blanket or towel can easily slip out of your arms. Injury to the cat or a person can be avoided by proper restraint.
Thorough Physical Examinations
Your pet can benefit greatly from regular wellness examinations or checkups. Whether your cat is a youngster, a "senior citizen," or any age in between, wellness examinations provide an excellent opportunity for us to conduct a thorough physical examination and develop a health profile for your pet. This information will help us identify medical problems and any other issues that can affect your pet's health and quality of life.
A wellness examination includes an evaluation of all of your pet's major organ systems. We'll use the wellness visit to ask you questions about your pet's behavior, appetite, exercise habits, and regular activities at home. This is also an excellent time for us to discuss any routine diagnostic testing that may benefit your pet or to recommend any vaccinations that may be due. If your pet seems healthy, a wellness examination is a good opportunity to note any changes, such as weight gain or loss or other subtle changes that may not be evident at home. Sometimes, information obtained during a wellness examination can help detect early signs of illness and address health issues before they progress.
A wellness examination is also your chance to have us address your questions or concerns about your pet. We welcome your questions. No question is too small or too silly, and it is our pleasure to address your concerns. We strive to help you understand your pet's health considerations, and we encourage you to be involved in decisions regarding your pet's health care.
Finally, wellness examinations help us establish a relationship with you and your pet. Through your pet's physical examinations, other wellness procedures, and our consultations with you, we get to know your pet and learn about his or her lifestyle, personality, health risks, home environment, and other important information. We encourage you to use wellness examinations to take an active role in your pet's health care.
Routine Vaccinations
Vaccines are available for use in cats, but not every patient needs every vaccine. Some vaccines are considered core vaccines and should be administered to all pets, the Rabies and FVRCP vaccines. Whereas other vaccines are optional and may be recommended for pets based on a variety of factors, such as their risk for exposure to disease, the Feline Leukemia vaccine. Vaccine recommendations can also change throughout a pet's life, as travel habits and other variables change. We will consider all these factors as we determine which vaccines your pet should have.
Vaccines help our pets live longer, healthier lives. Protecting your companion is our primary goal, so developing an appropriate vaccine schedule for them is important to us.
Call us today to set up an appointment to discuss your pet's vaccination needs.
Routine dental care is as important in animals as it is in humans. The pet owner plays a key role in their pet's dental hygiene. Brushing your pet's teeth as often as possible and/or using oral rinses and gels will significantly improve your pet's oral health. However, just like with people, pets will eventually need a professional teeth cleaning. This may be required yearly or may need to be performed less frequently, depending on your pet's genetic makeup and response to home care.
The dental cleaning is performed in the same way on your pet as it is on you when you visit the dentist. The only difference is that your pet must be under anesthesia during the procedure. Once asleep, the procedure is the same. The veterinary technician performs the teeth cleaning under the veterinarian's supervision. This involves scaling all the tartar off of the teeth with an ultrasonic scaler and then polishing all of the teeth with a low-speed hand piece. Once the teeth are cleaned, dental x-rays are taken with a digital dental x-ray unit much like the ones found in your dentist's office. The veterinarian, who has been helping to monitor the patient while the technician has been cleaning, then interprets the x-rays and examines the mouth very closely. The doctor probes around the teeth to search for any pockets or other abnormalities. If any extractions or other treatments are necessary, the veterinarian addresses them. The pet is then awakened from the anesthesia and is usually able to go home that same afternoon.
Surgical Procedures
In our continuing efforts to offer the highest quality veterinary medicine, we are pleased to provide a wide range of surgical services for our patients. From routine surgical procedures, such as spaying and neutering, to more complex surgeries, we look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet's surgical needs.
Our staff is highly skilled in performing veterinary surgeries and will make every effort to ensure that your cat receives the very best care. Our focus on patient safety, pain management, and employing the most current surgical practices is designed to exceed your expectations and put your concerns to rest. Our staff of compassionate, caring professionals will monitor your pet before, during, and after surgery and will take exceptional care to ensure a safe and complete recovery for your pet. We will also address any questions or concerns you may have about surgery, including concerns about anesthesia, pain management, or postoperative care.
When your companion is ready to go home, we will review your postoperative care and medication instructions with you. If any questions arise after your pet returns home or at any other time during the postoperative period, call us. We welcome your questions and will do all we can to help your cat recover fully. Help is only a phone call away.
Surgery can be a source of anxiety and stress for many pet owners. Maybe you worry about whether your pet will be well cared for, or perhaps you have concerns about adequate precautions and monitoring. Let us address your concerns. Whether your pet needs minor surgery or a complex procedure, call us. We'll discuss how our surgical services can benefit your pet.
Radiography is a valuable diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine. At the Cat Veterinary Clinic, we continually strive to offer the highest quality medicine and diagnostic testing, we are pleased to offer radiology services as a means of providing excellent care to our patients.
A radiograph (sometimes called an x-ray) is a type of photograph that can look inside the body and reveal information that may not be discernible from the outside. Radiography can be used to evaluate almost any organ in the body, including the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs, as well as the bones.
Radiography is painless, safe, and completely non-invasive, and it uses only very low doses of radiation. Radiographs can be used to evaluate bones as well as the size, shape, and position of many of the body's organs. The size of organs is important because some medical conditions—such as kidney, heart, or liver disease—can alter the size of these organs. The shape and position of organs can be altered or distorted by certain medical conditions, including intestinal blockage or cancer. Tumors, depending on their size and location, can also sometimes be detected using radiography. Radiography can also be used to diagnose bladder stones, broken bones, chronic arthritis, certain spinal cord diseases, and a variety of other conditions.
Ultrasonography is an advanced imaging technique that uses soundwaves to provide a real-time, moving image of your pet's internal organs. This procedure is especially useful when examining conditions in your pet's abdomen and heart. Ultrasounds are also effective at detecting tumors and foreign bodies in your pet's abdominal cavity and diagnosing heart disease. Dr. Oscar Ramirez, a board-certified veterinary radiologist, travels to perform ultrasound procedures at our clinic on scheduled days.
We, at the Cat Veterinary Clinic, are compassionate, caring professionals that will help you through this painful experience. Do you have special requests? Do you have questions about care of your pet's remains? We can help you with these concerns and will make every effort to accommodate your wishes at this very difficult time. We work closely with Fond Memories in Conroe to ensure that your pets are handled with respect and care. You may visit their website to see more information on the services they are able to provide: http://fondmemoriespcc.com/

Last year state Rep. Matt Gaetz was able to neuter but not kill a state requirement that Florida service stations pump only gasoline containing ethanol.
Last year state Rep. Matt Gaetz was able to neuter but not kill a state requirement that Florida service stations pump only gasoline containing ethanol.
His fellow lawmakers refused to take the 2008 Renewable Fuel Standard Act off the books, but they did agree to remove provisions through which merchants could be punished for ignoring it.
�Only in government do you get a compromise like I got,� Gaetz told the Okaloosa League of Women Voters recently. �We still have the mandate, but you don�t get in trouble for violating it.�
This year he and state Sen. Greg Evers of Baker have vowed to try again to do away with the ethanol mandate.
Gaetz, who has already filed House Bill 4001 to eliminate the ethanol mandate, said he learned Tuesday that Adam Putnam, commissioner of Florida�s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, was dropping his opposition to it.
�Last year Commissioner Putnam�s opposition was a major hurdle for us,� said Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach.
Gaetz said Putnam decided to drop his opposition after learning that BP, which had considered building a major ethanol refining plant in Central Florida, was backing off the idea.
�They�ve decided ethanol production in Florida is not viable,� he said.
The Renewable Fuel Standard Act was passed in response to a federal decree that states begin moving toward using gasoline containing more ethanol.
What Gaetz has called �a feel-good attempt to use alternative energy� became state law, he told the League of Women Voters, at a time in Florida when �Gov. Crist was being politically romanced by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in California.�
Ethanol is a product created by fermenting and distilling starch crops that is said to help lessen the amount of carbon dioxide released in the air as fossil fuels are consumed.
When the act was implemented in 2010, all the gasoline sold in Florida was required to contain between 9 and 10 percent ethanol
A ruling by a Federal Court of Appeals this week opened the door to distribution of fuels with a 15 percent ethanol concentration, The Hill website reported Tuesday.
Christina Martin, executive vice president of the national Renewable Fuels Association, said, �Now is not the time for Florida to stick its head in the sand and deny its role as a potential leader in biofuels.�
�At this time, next generation ethanol companies are starting up like the one in Vero Beach, which is currently generating 400 direct and indirect jobs and will result in 60 full-time jobs,� Martin said in an email.
The state is implementing a vision to improve infrastructure for moving ethanol product, Martin said.
�Florida should be proud. It should lead, not run from a future that is more energy independent and economically secure,� she said.
The Gaetz-Evers bill introduced last year added language making that there would be no penalty for distributors or retailers who provide gasoline without ethanol, Gaetz said.
He argued last year that ethanol had proven to be hard on some engines and reduced a vehicle�s miles-per-gallon performance, and that the energy required to produce ethanol negated any savings that might be realized.
He said he wants to finish last year�s work �to send the right message of freedom in every corner of the market.�
Gaetz also said eliminating the Renewable Fuel Standard Act will clear up any existing controversy for gasoline distributors and retailers.
�I think at a minimum they are confused,� he said.

Bayer CropScience has received a Section 24(c) Special Local Needs registration for its Laudis herbicide, while Monsanto received supplemental labeling for aerial application of Warrant on field corn, production seed corn, soybeans, forage and grain sorghum. "North Dakota has had above-normal rainfall this spring, and in recent years has seen high levels of precipitation," says Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. "These wet conditions make it difficult or impossible for ground pesticide application equipment to be used in some fields, forcing growers to rely on aerial application of pesticides."

My daddy use to say, "You ain't no man unless you got yourself a good Hawaiian necktie." ~ Zippy Moondog
*Warning – These Hawaiian neckties are not for the faint of heart nor are they for the everyday Joe. These ties are only for the adventurous, the daring, the exceptional. Hawaiian Neckties, the mere words can evoke feelings of defiance, excitement, fun & raw unadulterated pleasure in the hearts of men, and confusion in the minds of women. The Hawaiian necktie laughs in the face of corporate America and screams loudly and proudly to the world, "I'm a real Man, and I don't play by your stupid rules!"
Although the origins of the Hawaiian print necktie remain a mystery to this day, there is no doubt at all that it exists. For centuries now scholars, deep thinkers and artists have pondered the Hawaiian print necktie and the affect it has had on mankind, the planet & of course… the universe. What is the truth about Hawaiian Neckties? Unfortunately we may never know the answer to that, but what we do know is that Hawaiian neckties are a powerful and perhaps the most powerful kind of necktie in the world. Plato said, "When the necktie of a society changes, the whole society will change." Aristotle, a contemporary of Plato's said, "Hawaiian necktie? Yeah, I would totally wear one." John Lennon said, "Give Hawaiian Neckties A Chance – Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah. Hey, Hey, Hey, Necktie."
The choice is your, I can only show you the door. You'll have to go through it on your own. Are you ready for a Hawaiian necktie?

Pasteurization is the heat treatment of a product to kill pathogenic bacteria and reduce enzymatic activity. The purpose is to make the product safe for consumption and to lengthen product shelf life.
Pasteurization of cheese milk is usually achieved using a plate heat exchanger, whereby the incoming cold milk is heated to 162°F or 72°c and held for 15 seconds, before regenerative cooling to the cheese vat fill temperature. In order to minimise the risk of failure in the pasteurization process the heat exchanger is fitted with an automatic control system for ensuring the milk is heated to pasteurization temperature and held for the required time, and a pressure differential system to prevent contamination of pasteurized milk with raw milk in the regeneration section of the plate heat exchanger.
Milk intended for types of cheese which require more than one month for ripening does not necessarily need to be pasteurised, but common practice and legislation generally require this step to be included anyway. Milk intended for un-ripened or fresh cheese must be pasteurized.
The Tetra Scherping® Round Balance Tanks are an integral component of HTST Systems.

Surgery for colorectal cancer
Most people with colorectal cancer will have surgery. The type of surgery you have depends mainly on the location of the tumour and how much of the colon, rectum or both needs to be removed.
Surgery is done for different reasons. You may have surgery to:
- completely remove the tumour and nearby lymph nodes
- completely remove cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, such as the pelvis, liver or lung
- remove as much of the tumour as possible (called debulking) before other treatments
- ease pain or other symptoms (called palliative treatment)
The following types of surgery are used to treat colorectal cancer. You may also have other treatments before or after surgery.
|Surgeries for colorectal cancer
Local excision
Local excision is sometimes called local resection. It is surgery to remove abnormal tissue, such as a polyp or tumour, along with a margin of healthy tissue around it.
Local excision can be used to remove polyps or early stage tumours that are on the surface of the lining of the colon or rectum (called superficial tumours). This usually includes stage 0 tumours and some stage 1 tumours. Sometimes more surgery is needed to remove any cancer left behind or if cancer cells are found in the tissues removed with the tumour (called positive surgical margins).
Doctors usually use special equipment, such as an endoscope, to do local excision for colorectal cancer. The following types of local excision may be done.
Polypectomy is surgery to remove polyps. It is done during a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy.
Local transanal excision is used to remove stage 0 tumours in the rectum. It can also be used for some stage 1 rectal tumours that are small and close to the anus. The surgeon uses special tools placed in the anus.
Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is used to remove tumours in the rectum and nearby tissue. The surgeon uses a special light and tiny tools passed through a proctoscope placed in the anus. TEM can be done for stage 1 tumours that are higher in the rectum.
Find out more about colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy.
Bowel resection
Bowel resection is surgery to remove part of the small intestine, large intestine or both. The large intestine includes the colon, rectum and anus.
Different types of bowel resection are done to remove different parts of the intestines. Each type of bowel resection is named based on what it removes. Find out more about bowel resection.
Right hemicolectomy
A right hemicolectomy removes:
- part of the ileum (the last part of the small intestine)
- the cecum (the first part of the large intestine)
- the ascending colon (the first part of the colon)
- the hepatic flexure (the bend in the colon near the liver)
- the first part of the transverse colon (the middle of the colon)
- the appendix
After removing these structures, the surgeon then joins the small intestine to the remaining colon. The procedure used to join them is called anastomosis.
A right hemicolectomy is used to remove tumours in the right colon, including the cecum and ascending colon. An extended right hemicolectomy, which also removes all of the transverse colon, may be done to remove tumours in the hepatic flexure or transverse colon.
Transverse colectomy
A transverse colectomy removes the transverse colon. The surgeon then joins the ends of the remaining colon together. The procedure used to join them is called anastomosis.
This surgery may be used to remove a tumour in the middle of the transverse colon when the cancer hasn't spread to any other parts of the colon. Some doctors prefer to do an extended right hemicolectomy rather than a transverse colectomy.
Left hemicolectomy
A left hemicolectomy removes:
- part of the transverse colon
- the splenic flexure (the bend in the colon near the spleen)
- the descending colon
- part of the sigmoid colon
After removing these structures, the surgeon then joins the 2 ends of the colon. The procedure used to join them is called anastomosis.
A left hemicolectomy is used to remove tumours in the left colon, including the splenic flexure.
Sigmoid colectomy
A sigmoid colectomy removes the sigmoid colon. The surgeon then joins the descending colon to the rectum. The procedure used to join them is called anastomosis.
Sigmoid colectomy is used to remove tumours in the sigmoid colon.
Low anterior resection
A low anterior resection removes the sigmoid colon and part of the rectum. The surgeon then joins the remaining colon to the remaining rectum (called the rectal stump). The procedure used to join them is called anastomosis.
Low anterior resection is used to remove tumours in the middle or upper part of the rectum.
Proctocolectomy with coloanal anastomosis
Proctocolectomy (also called proctectomy) removes all of the rectum and part of the sigmoid colon. Coloanal anastomosis is a procedure the surgeon does to join the remaining colon to the anus.
This surgery is used to remove tumours in the lower part of the rectum. It is not used very often because many surgeons prefer to use a low anterior resection or abdominoperineal resection to remove rectal tumours.
Abdominoperineal resection
An abdominoperineal resection removes the rectum, anus, anal sphincter and muscles around the anus. The surgeon makes one incision, or cut, in the abdomen and another one in the perineum (the area between the anus and vulva in women or between the anus and scrotum in men). A permanent colostomy is needed because the anal sphincter is removed.
An abdominoperineal resection is used to remove tumours that are close to the anus or have grown into muscles around the anus.
Subtotal or total colectomy
Colectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the colon. If most of the colon is removed, it is called a subtotal, or partial, colectomy. If all of the colon is removed, including the cecum and the appendix, it is called a total colectomy. If the rectum is also removed along with part or all of the colon, the surgery is called a proctocolectomy.
A subtotal or total colectomy is done when there is cancer on both the right and left sides of the colon. These surgeries may also be offered to some people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) as a way to prevent colorectal cancer (called prophylactic colectomy). People with an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may have subtotal or total colectomy to remove the damaged or diseased colon.
Depending on the type of colectomy done, the surgeon may also need to do a colostomy or ileostomy.
Lymph node dissection
Lymph node dissection, or lymphadenectomy, is surgery to remove lymph nodes. It is always done during a bowel resection. At least 12 lymph nodes near the tumour are removed. They are examined to find out if cancer has spread to them.
Total mesorectal excision (TME) is a type of lymph node dissection that removes the mesorectum, which is fat around the rectum that contains lymph nodes and blood vessels. TME is usually done during a low anterior resection or abdominoperineal resection to remove a tumour in the rectum. This surgery allows the surgeon to remove lymph nodes as well as a margin of tissue around the tumour (called the surgical margin).

Pelvic exenteration
Pelvic exenteration is a major surgery that removes the reproductive organs along with lymph nodes in the pelvis. For colorectal cancers, part of the colon, the rectum or both are usually removed. The bladder may also be removed.
After pelvic exenteration, the surgeon may need to do a colostomy and urinary diversion. A colostomy creates an opening so that stool can pass out of the body through the abdominal wall. A urinary diversion, or urostomy, creates an opening so that urine can pass out of the body through the abdominal wall.
Pelvic exenteration may be done to treat stage 4 or recurrent colorectal cancer that has spread to nearby organs.
Find out more about pelvic exenteration.
Surgery for metastases
Surgery may be done to remove colorectal cancer that has spread, or metastasized, to the liver or lungs.
Liver metastases
The surgeon may do a liver resection if there are only a few tumours in the liver or if the tumours can be removed while leaving enough working liver behind. This is surgery to remove part of the liver.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may be used to treat liver metastases that can't be removed with surgery. RFA is done with a special probe or needle inserted into the liver tumours to heat and destroy cancer cells using radiofrequency waves. RFA can be given through the skin, a cut or incision in the abdomen, or a laparoscope.

Lung metastases
A lung resection is surgery to remove part or all of a lung. It could be used to treat lung metastases if cancer hasn't spread to any other organs and it is only in one area of the lung.
Find out more about lung metastases.
Colostomy or ileostomy
Colostomy is a surgical procedure that creates a stoma (an artificial opening) from the colon to the outside of the body through the abdominal wall. Ileostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening from the ileum (the last part of the small intestine) to the outside of the body through the abdominal wall. These procedures allow stool, or feces, to leave the body after part or all of the colon is removed. The stool is collected in a special pouch on the outside of the body.
These surgeries are usually done after bowel resection. Whether or not you need a colostomy or ileostomy depends on the location of the cancer and how healthy the remaining colon is after bowel resection.
The colostomy or ileostomy can be temporary to allow the intestine to rest and heal after surgery. It may be permanent if the lower part of the rectum and anal sphincter are removed during bowel resection.
In some cases, the surgeon may do a diverting colostomy to prevent or manage a blockage in the intestine (called bowel obstruction). A diverting colostomy is a colostomy that doesn't remove part of the intestine. It allows the stool to pass out of the body before it reaches the blocked part of the bowel.

Find out more about surgery. To make the decisions that are right for you, ask your healthcare team questions about surgery.
A procedure that uses an endoscope (a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and lens) to examine or treat organs inside the abdomen and pelvis.
Cells or tissue may be removed for examination under a microscope. Doctors may also use laparoscopy to perform different surgical procedures in the abdomen and pelvis.
The type of endoscope used for this procedure is called a laparoscope.

I recently bought a really cute leopard print top from ebay that I'll show you later on today. These pics are a bit over the top, but still fab.

As the Phillies maintain their pursuit of The Bastard Mets in the National League East, there were some questions about whether or not this team was capable of hanging on through this final month of the season due to an overall lack of clubhouse leadership. There are no shit-stirrers, save for the occasional Pat Burrell dress-down of struggling pitchers and Charlie Manuel's desperate attempts for wake-up calls usually directed at Jimmy Rollins during the season. But with last night's 4-0 victory over the always troublesome Nationals (especially when Tim friggin' Redding is pitching for some reason) Manuel has anointed the Phillies dick-and-balls captain: Chase Utley. In the third inning of last night's victory, the Phillies second baseman made a frantic dash toward home plate in an attempt to eek out an extra run and ended up dismantling the Nationals' catcher Jesus Flores. The ball, however, was not dismantled. But the effort was not lost on Manuel, who wasted no time with the Mad Men-speak to describe Utley's effort.
"That's not old school, that's good school. That's the way you play the game unless you want to put some rouge and makeup and lipstick on."
Still two back, though. Utley gives Phillies a crash-course in leadership [Philly.com] Charlie Manuel knows a real man when he sees one [The Nationals Enquirer]

State-of-the-Art Security
The only hardware wallet featuring a secure chip with a custom operating system (OS), for no compromise between security and convenience
While many hardware wallets on the market feature a "simple" chip, all Ledger hardware wallets are equipped with a "smartcard chip", that include a secure element. This kind of chip is used for highly secure applications, such as protecting biometric data on passports or credit card information.
Very specifically, a secure-element chip is a tamper-resistant hardware platform, capable of securely hosting applications and storing confidential and cryptographic data. In other words, secure element chips are extremely difficult and costly to hack, while "simple" chips, even with software protection, require much less effort.
Secure-element chips undergo advanced third-party evaluation and certification processes, through certification bodies such as Common Criteria and EMVCo, to attest to their robustness & security.
Additionally, Ledger has developed its own secure element operating system, named BOLOS - a flexible and open system making it easy to support many crypto assets. This enables Ledger hardware wallets to offer a unique blend of cutting-edge security (secure element) and user convenience (BOLOS), while making sure your crypto assets can resist even sophisticated attacks.
Multi currency
The Ledger Nano S supports over 1100 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Bitcoin Cash, EOS and Stellar allowing you to manage multiple assets with the same hardware wallet.
All your assets, one device
The Ledger Nano S supports an extensive list of cryptocurrencies, including popular assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin and more.

NASHVILLE, TN — It didn't take long for Manny Butera of Total Fitness Systems, a club management company with a chain of Fitness Express clubs, to start promoting his facilities again after a December Chapter 11 filing. The filing liquidated five of the company's clubs in Atlanta and two in Huntsville, AL. It also liquidated a tanning salon owned by the company. However, Butera's eight clubs in Tennessee now operate as Fuel Fitness Clubs.
"I had investors, and the investors decided that they could not fund the organization anymore," Butera says about the bankruptcy.
He will soon offer a plan for the company to the bankruptcy court for approval.
Butera plans to upgrade his facilities with new equipment, new decor, new tanning beds and new group exercise classes. He will pay for the upgrades with a club enhancement fee that he charges to members, he says.
Butera's management business is still in operation, but it has "taken somewhat of a hit" with the filing, he says. He is focusing mostly on the eight clubs he owns now.
"The caveat to all of this is be careful what you do and who you do it with because we had what I would call a leveraged growth plan, which is fine if you have a lot of capital behind you — which I did — but you can't control circumstances out of your control," Butera says.
Butera previously was World Gym's largest franchisee, but he is no longer affiliated with the franchise after management at Planet Fitness, which purchased World Gym in October, and Butera jointly decided not to renew his license, he says.

Rutgers acknowledged the inevitable on Wednesday and fired basketball coach Mike Rice after ESPN broadcast video showing him throwing basketballs at the heads of players, shoving them around the court, and belittling them with a stream of expletives, including antigay slurs.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) had reacted with outrage to the video revelations, perhaps foreshadowing today's dismissal.
"This was a regrettable episode for the University, but I completely support the decision to remove Coach Rice. It was the right and necessary action to take in light of the conduct displayed on the videotape," said Governor Christie, in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
The question now is whether more heads will roll. Pressure to get rid of Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti and president Robert Barchi appeared to be on the increase, even as Mr. Rice lost his job.
That's because a former employee gave Mr. Pernetti the same video last November. After viewing it and having it analyzed by outside investigators, the AD suspended Rice for three games and fined him $50,000 – a punishment that, in the light of full disclosure, looks to have been too lenient.
After all, the only fact of the case that has changed since then is that the whole world has seen what Pernetti already knew. Yet, suddenly, that's bad enough for the coach to lose his job, when it had not been before.
"I am responsible for the decision to attempt a rehabilitation of Coach Rice," said Pernetti, in a statement. "Dismissal and corrective action were debated in December, and I thought it was in the best interest of everyone to rehabilitate, but I was wrong. Moving forward, I will work to regain the trust of the Rutgers community."
Many commentators noted that the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State, in which a former assistant coach sexually abused youngsters for years under the eye of the football program, should have warned Rutgers officials that the only proper response to the tape was immediate dismissal.
While the Sandusky scandal obviously was much worse in the sense of the degree of abuse, in both university officials seemed more interested in covering up the story than in redressing harm, writes USA Today sports columnist Christine Brennan.
"Rutgers is a state school, supported by the taxpayers of New Jersey. I'd dare say you could have shown the video to almost every one of the residents of the state and received a more reasoned and thoughtful decision than the one rendered by Pernetti at the end of last year. For that reason alone, he must lose his job," writes Ms. Brennan.
President Barchi, for his part, was told of the events at the time and supported Pernetti's decision to suspend Rice, not fire him. Perhaps Barchi was worried that revealing a Rutgers coach had used anti-gay slurs would have produced unwanted scrutiny at the school, noted Sports Illustrated columnist George Dohrmann. It was only one year ago that a Rutgers student was sentenced to jail after he tweeted about watching his roommate kissing another man, which led the roommate, Tyler Clementi, to commit suicide.
"Barchi and Pernetti were surely aware that the news of Rice's derogatory remarks about homosexuals would reignite that controversy, and that it would lead people to further question the university's leaders," writes Mr. Dohrmann. "Firing Rice in December would have had serious repercussions. So Barchi and Pernetti tried the easy route first to see if they could get away with it."
But the ramifications of the Rice video may go further than the job security of those above him in the chain of command. Sports legal authority Michael McCann said Wednesday that individual players may now consider civil suits against both the coach and the university.
"Mike Rice fired may not be his biggest problem," tweeted Mr. McCann.
And on Capitol Hill, two New Jersey lawmakers used the Rice incident to renew their call for passage of a national antibullying law named after Tyler Clementi.
The legislation would require schools to have antibullying policies, among other things.
"Rutgers made the right decision by finally firing Mike Rice for his deplorable actions and homophobic slurs, but more needs to be done to make sure this type of abuse is stopped and a strong code of conduct protecting students from such harassment is enforced," said Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D) and Rep. Rush Holt (D) of New Jersey, in a statement on Wednesday.
