St. Lawrence Broadcasting Co. Ltd. (Waters family)
St. Lawrence Broadcasting Co. Ltd. applied for an FM station at Kingston, operating on 88.9 MHz with 250 watts of power and antenna height of 100 feet above average terrain. In approving the application, the CBC Board of Governors stated that the establishment of this FM station would provide an additional program service and would also serve as a studio to transmitter link for the AM operation. Major Robert Stuart Grant had received the AM licence (1380 kHz with 1,000 watts) earlier in the year and expected to have CKLC-AM operational for December 1. Grant had been in charge of the Army station at Leitrim, Ontario.
Terry French would be manager of the stations. He had worked in government communications. His brother, John, would also be involved in the company, as program director. He had been with F.H. Hayhurst & Co., and in the past, had been an announcer at CKOC in Hamilton. Vern Stauffer was chief engineer. He was a former RCA engineer. (See CKLC for more on the early ownership)
St. Lawrence Broadcasting Co. Ltd. opened CKLC-AM-FM on November 18, but official broadcasting didn't start until the following January. Studios and offices were on the second floor of the Victoria & Gray Trust Building, above the Shaw-Linton Dry Goods store at 99 Brock Street. The "KLC" in the call letters: Kingston, The Limestone City. CKLC was a CBC Dominion affiliate.
CKLC-AM-FM officially opened in January, following two months of trial operation. An evening ceremony of special programs was aired.

Allan Waters, the founder of CHUM Limited, owner opf CFLY, passed away at the age of 84, on December 3rd.
On July 12 it was announced that Bell Globemedia would pay C$1.7 billion for CHUM Ltd., in a deal that would see the company become part of the BCE-owned media conglomerate, subject to CRTC approval. On August 31, the two companies announced that BGM had been successful in its offer to acquire approximately 6.7 million common shares and approximately 19.2 million non-voting Class B shares of CHUM. The shares were to be placed in the hands of an independent trustee pursuant to a voting trust agreement approved by the CRTC.
On December 12th, it was announced that Bell Globemedia would henceforth be known as CTVglobemedia.
A CRTC hearing on the CTVglobemedia application to acquire the assets of CHUM Limited was held on April 30th 2007. On June 8 the CRTC approved the acquisition of CHUM Ltd. by CTVglobemedia, on condition that CTV sell off its five City-TV stations, CITY-TV Toronto, CHMI-TV Portage La Prairie/Winnipeg, CKEM-TV Edmonton, CKAL-TV Calgary and CKVU-TV Vancouver. Rogers Communications announced on June 25th that a deal had been reached for them to buy these stations from CTV, subject to CRTC approval. Among the CHUM assets acquired by CTVglobemedia in the deal were seven television stations, 21 specialty channels and some 33 radio stations, including CFLY-FM.

On March 7, the CRTC approved an application by BCE Inc. on behalf of CTVglobemedia Inc., for authority to change the effective control of CTVgm's licensed broadcasting subsidiaries to BCE. The Commission concluded that the transaction would be beneficial to the Canadian broadcasting system by ensuring the long-term stability of a significant Canadian television network and advancing the Commission's objective of providing relevant high-quality Canadian programming to Canadians through conventional and new media distribution channels. BCE was a public corporation and controlled by its board of directors. Before this approval, BCE held 15% of the voting interest in the capital of CTVgm. The other shareholders were 1565117 Ontario Limited (a corporation ultimately controlled by Mr. David Kenneth R. Thomson) (40% of the voting interest), Ontario Teacher's Plan Board (25% of the voting interest) and Torstar Corporation (20% of the voting interest). Under the transaction agreement dated September 10, 2010, BCE would acquire the remaining 85% of the voting interest in the capital of CTVgm and would therefore exercise effective control.
On March 15, CTV Inc., CTV Corp., CTV Limited and CTVglobemedia Inc. amalgamated to continue as CTV Inc.
BCE Inc. announced on April 1 that it had completed its acquisition of CTV and that it had launched Bell Media (replacing CTVglobemedia), a new business unit that would make CTV programs and other Bell content available on smartphones and computers as well as traditional television. In addition to CTV and its television stations, Bell Media now also operated 29 specialty channels, 33 radio stations, Dome Productions, a mobile broadcast facilities provider, and dozens of high-traffic news, sports and entertainment websites, including the Sympatico.ca portal.
98.3 FLY FM/98.9 The Drive Kingston program director Jennifer Yascheshyn wrapped it up August 19, moving to Loyalist College in Belleville. Creative director Bonnie Wannemaker resigned to start a creative business.
The CRTC approved a change to the ownership of Bell Media Inc., from BCE Inc. to Bell Canada. This transaction would not affect effective control of Bell Media Inc. and of its licensed broadcasting subsidiaries, which continued to be exercised by BCE Inc. Bell Media Inc. held, directly and through its licensed broadcasting subsidiaries, various radio and television programming undertakings as well as specialty and pay-per-view television services.
On August 22, the CRTC approved the applications by BCE Inc., on behalf of Bell Media Inc. and 7550413 Canada Inc., carrying on business as Bell Media Ontario Regional Radio Partnership, for authority to acquire, as part of a corporate reorganization, CFJR-FM and CJPT-FM Brockville, CKLC-FM and CFLY-FM Kingston, CKPT-FM and CKQM-FM Peterborough, and CKLY-FM Lindsay. Bell Media, the managing partner holding 99.99% of the voting interest in the general partnership, is wholly owned by Bell Canada and controlled by BCE. 7550413, the other partner holding the remaining 0.01% of the voting interest in the general partnership, is wholly owned by Bell Media and is also controlled by BCE. BCE submitted that the purpose of this corporate reorganization was to realize tax efficiencies. The Commission noted that this transaction would not affect the effective control of the undertakings which would continue to be exercised by BCE.

Regarding recent polio virus contamination reported in India.
Major highlights
Routine surveillance detected the Type 2 vaccine virus in stool samples from children in Uttar Pradesh, implying that someone was still making the vaccine.
Further investigations revealed that the OPV, made by a Ghaziabad-based firm called Bio-Med, contained traces of the Type 2 vaccine virus.
Can vaccine cause polio
Vaccine-Associated Paralytic Polio (VAPP):
Here, in extremely rare cases, the vaccine virus mutates into a virulent version of itself, causing disease in the child who received the vaccine, or in a person who came in contact with the child.
VAPP causes isolated cases and not outbreaks because it doesn't spread from person to person.
Vaccine-Derived Polio Virus (cVDPV)
The second way in which the vaccine can cause polio is through Circulating Vaccine-Derived Polio Virus (cVDPV).
Here, too, the vaccine virus mutates into a virulent version, but spreads from person to person, causing outbreaks.
For this to happen, though, the vaccine virus must circulate among people for at least around 12 months.
During this transmission, the virus has a chance to mutate.
This usually happens in communities where vaccination rates are low. cVDPV, too, is extremely rare.
Can contamination cause VAPP or cDVPV?
According to the virologist, it can, but the probability is small.
For instance, the risk of VAPP is extremely low, in general.
cVDPV, on the other hand, is a bigger worry, because the Type-2 vaccine virus is the most likely to turn cVDPV among all the three.
Bigger concern:
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation ought to trace the source of the contamination, which it hasn't done yet.
Unless this happens, it won't be able to prevent incidents of larger contamination in the future.
Uttar Pradesh health authorities haven't made it clear how widespread the contamination was.
Early media reports said 1.5 lakh vials were contaminated.
Assuming 20 doses per vial, this is around 3 million doses. The previous calculations of low risk are based on this number.
If a substantially larger number of doses was administered, the risk would grow.
Why polio vaccine contamination is a worry?

King's Lynn Town's trip to Gloucester City in the National League North is postponed
By Greg Plummer
greg.plummer@iliffepublishing.co.uk
| Updated: 13:48, 15 March 2020
King's Lynn Town's game at Gloucester City tomorrow night has finally been postponed.
The Linnets had been in limbo as to whether tomorrow night's National League North fixture would go ahead with several Tigers' players and staff being in isolation with possible symptoms of Coronavirus.
Gloucester's fixture against Blyth Spartans was postponed on Saturday while Lynn suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Guiseley - their second home reverse in the space of a few days.
It is the second time this season that the game has been postponed after it the original game fell foul of a waterlogged pitch last month.
The Walks (29853558)
A brief statement released by the club a short while ago read: "King's Lynn Town Football Club have this morning received notification from the National League that Monday's scheduled fixture between Gloucester City and King's Lynn Town has been postponed."
The National League has come under fire for letting games still go ahead at the weekend after the Premier League and EFL suspended games until at least April 3.
It remains to be seen if they will follow suit with the Coronavirus taking a firm grip of the UK.

What is American Conservatism
Home/Mobs Have No Principles, Hacker Edition
Mobs Have No Principles, Hacker Edition

Fredrik deBoer thinks the Ashley Madison hack is the latest proof that the left hasn't really won the culture war:
Since at least the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage across the United States, it's been trendy to say that the culture war is over. With acceptance of gay love now ubiquitous, with trans rights taking center stage, with even traditionally conservative culture like sports increasingly accepting of gender and sexual differences, many now presume that social conservatism, as a mass political phenomenon, is in permanent retreat. Indeed, some prominent social conservatives have been debating the "Benedict option," which entails a retreat from public life by social traditionalists. Left and right both seem to agree that the battle is over.
With the recent leak of massive amounts of data from infidelity-enabling AshleyMadison.com, though, and Gawker's notorious naming and shaming of an obscure, married publishing executive who attempted to hire the services of an escort, we might well ask: if the culture war is over, who really won?
That social conservatism lost seems inarguable. Gay marriage was the hill that the forces of social conservatism were willing to die on, and die they did. . . . And yet I can't help but feel that social liberalism hasn't exactly won, either. Once, a central pillar of progressive attitudes towards love and sex was the right to be left alone, the right to have privacy, the right to undertake adult behaviors that others might not agree with but which nevertheless must remain permissible. That version of social liberalism—the one associated with tolerance and personal freedom—seems almost as dead as the religious traditionalism that we're so eager to discard.
To which I can only ask: what makes you think the AshleyMadison.com hackers are indicative of any political tendency at all?
There is a liberalism of principle and a liberalism of temperament, and I think deBoer is confusing the two here. A liberal temperament is pretty much diametrically opposed to the kind of outing and shaming involved with these kinds of hacks, regardless of the underlying politics. Whether we're talking about outing closeted gay people or anonymous racists – or, for that matter, making public the names and physical addresses of the kinds of people who execute these kinds of hacks – there's nothing liberal, from a temperamental perspective, about the activity.
But a liberalism of principle is as subject to perfectionism as any other politics is. And it's easy to see how perfectionism can lead to justifications for all kinds of invasions of traditional zones of privacy and immunity. Slum-clearing was a project with considerable liberal backing; so was forced school busing; so is yes-means-yes. All of these are noble-intentioned projects that substantially invaded such zones.
Moreover, it would not be hard to construct a left-wing attack on Ashley Madison. What kind of men have the resources to avail themselves of the opportunities provided by such a site? Who benefits and who suffers most from the aggregation of this kind of data on "availability"? What does the existence of a site like that do to the power dynamic within most marriages? I'm not endorsing that kind of critique (nor am I getting into the thicket of ranking adultery itself in the table of sins – though I may do that at another time). I'm just pointing out that such a critique can certainly be constructed, and shouldn't be dismissed with mere hand-waving.
And that is precisely why it's important to keep the two questions separate. You can embrace a left-wing critique of an entity like Ashley Madison without being a neo-Victorian moralist. But you can also be a neo-Victorian moralist without embracing mob "justice." And that is what is being enacted with the Ashley Madison hack – something essentially illiberal in temperament (as mobs always are), but also something completely lacking in principle of any kind, and motivated instead by base emotions like envy and schadenfreude (as, again, mobs always are).
The mob may well be winning the culture war. But that is not merely a different front from the one deBoer (and the rest of us) are talking about when we discuss gay marriage, or abortion. It's a different war altogether. Because no principled politics of any kind, whether moralistic or libertarian, can safely or in good conscience rely on the mob.
UPDATE: oh – and this news story is of obvious relevance to "The Runner" – yet another reason to go see it!

Big, meaty hunks of succulent, smoky beef on the end of comedy dinosaur size bone that wouldn't look out of place in the Flintstones. What's not to like? These are meat lollipops at their very best.
This recipe relies on wrapping the ribs in foil after several hours to keep the moisture locked in and help render down the fat and connective tissue. If you prefer, instead of foiling you can pit-braise the ribs by placing them in a foil tray half submerged in liquid. Either way, it's important to do one of the other to end up with the juiciest and best result.
Beef short ribs usually come in rack sizes of 4 to 5 bones. A decent portion would be 2-3 per person.
Like pork ribs, there's a tough old membrane covering the bone side that you need to get rid of. Tease in a small sharp knife just under the membrane and work it loose. Once you have something to get hold of, use some kitchen roll to grip the edge and carefully peel back. Seems like a bit of a faff but needs to be done or you'll end up with a mouthful of what feels like bits of baking parchment. There tends to be quite a few lumps and pockets of fat that you should carefully trim off. Some fat is fine, but get rid of the excess.
I like to gently score the meat side. Just enough to cut through the fat and membrane. It helps prevent the ribs wanting to curl and warp whilst cooking. Also gives you a guide to slicing into even size bones for serving.
Lay down the ribs, bone side down, on the grill.
Add some wood chunks – hickory or oak are both good with beef, don't add anything that adds a sweet flavour.
After 3-4 hours the meat should have shrunk up the bone a bit and now is the time to foil. Internal temp at this point is around 65C. Wrap and seal up the ribs in strong foil and pour in some liquid – wine, beer, cider, stock – anything will work. Double foil if you are worried about the bone piercing through. We want a sealed package.
Once foiled, place back on the barbecue for another two hours. We're looking for the meat having drawn well back up the bone, most of the fat having rendered away and the meat looking succulent and fall apart. Internal temp here is around 88C.
Sprinkle with some salt flakes before slicing carefully into individual bones to serve.
You can flash back on a hot grill for a few minutes each side to liven up and bring back the crust if you like.
Mix all ingredients together and store in an air-tight container. Make more than you need – it's also good on steaks, chicken and potatoes.

Jean (?) de Sainte-Colombe, ou Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, né vers 1640 et mort vers 1700, est un compositeur et joueur de viole français de la période baroque.

On le désigne comme « Jean de Sainte-Colombe le père », car on lui connaît un fils, dit « Sainte-Colombe le fils » (environ 1660-1720), violiste et compositeur également, dont on a retrouvé la trace près de Durham en Angleterre.

Biographie
Peu de détails sur sa vie sont connus : on ne connaît ni le nom de ses parents, ni ses dates de naissance et de décès exactes, mais de récentes recherches ont permis de découvrir qu'il se prénommait Jean (d'autres sources mentionnent le nom d'Augustin d'Autrecourt, Sieur de Sainte-Colombe) et qu'il eut comme professeur le théorbiste et violiste Nicolas Hotman. La famille serait originaire du sud-ouest de la France. On possède en revanche quelques informations liées à son talent de violiste, notamment grâce à ses élèves, parmi lesquels Danoville, Jean Desfontaines, Marin Marais, Pierre Méliton et Jean Rousseau.

Il est probable qu'il soit à l'origine de l'ajout d'une septième corde à la basse de viole. Jean Rousseau signale qu'il maîtrisait l'art de la viole « à la perfection », fait repris dans l'ouvrage de Pascal Quignard, Tous les matins du monde (ainsi que dans le film de même nom) qui montre l'apprentissage de Marin Marais auprès de Sainte-Colombe, et dans lequel celui-ci est présenté comme un homme austère. Il appartenait probablement à la noblesse des environs de Pau, et il est rapporté qu'il donnait chez lui des concerts de viole. Il ne fut pas un musicien de cour.

Avec cent soixante-dix-sept pièces pour viole seule et soixante-sept pour deux violes, Sainte-Colombe se révèle un compositeur prolifique.

Parmi les compositions qui nous sont parvenues, figurent des Concerts à deux violes esgales (partition découverte par le pianiste Alfred Cortot et retrouvée parmi ses papiers en 1966). On peut avoir, par l'intermédiaire de ces compositions, une idée de la virtuosité de ce maître.

Son fils, également violiste écrivit un tombeau à la mémoire de son père<ref>Julie Anne Sadie, Guide de la Musique baroque', Fayard, 1995, .</ref>.

Doute sur son identité exacte
Selon le musicologue François-Pierre Goy, il est en fait impossible que le célèbre violiste ait pu être Jean de Sainte-Colombe. En effet, Jean de Sainte-Colombe est mentionné comme décédé ("deffunct") en 1680, ce qui exclut qu'il ait pu être le professeur de Marin Marais.

The Highest Paid Athletes Of 2022
The coronavirus pandemic continues to have an influence on sports all around the world, but it doesn't appear to have had an impact on player salaries as there are still plenty of sportsmen making six-figure salaries.
The greatest athletes' salaries have been increasing over time. In instance, during the previous 12 months, the combined wealth of the wealthiest athletes has surpassed $1 billion.
There have undoubtedly been many influential people, but one noteworthy pattern is that NBA stars predominate on the carefully selected list.
List Of Top 10 Highest Paid Athletes Of 2022
1. Lionel Messi -$130 Million
Lionel Messi, who earned an astounding $130 Million USD in the calendar year, will be the highest-paid athlete in the world in 2022. The sportsman has now, for the first time, equaled Cristiano Ronaldo's off-field earnings ($55 Million) thanks to endorsements that go beyond his typical partnerships with Adidas, Budweiser, and PepsiCo. In June of last year, the football player rose to prominence when he was named the face of Hard Rock International.
2. LeBron James -$121.2 Million
King James had a standout year in 2021, which was backed by an NBA-record salary. Despite the Los Angeles Lakers' on-court struggles, number 23 isn't slowing down in the money department. Lebron improved his situation off the court by investing a $80 million duffel bag in himself, doubling his on-court earnings. With the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy in 2021, he made his acting debut as Hollywood's leading man. In 2022, he realized a profit when he sold a minority stake in SpringHill Entertainment for about $725 million.
3. Christiano Ronaldo -$115 Million
In 2021, Christiano Ronaldo made history by being the first individual to amass 500 million followers across all of his social media platforms. With 690 million followers as of 2022, he has an enormous amount of influence over brand partnerships. Ronaldo's off-field earnings of over $55 million are the clearest example of this.
4. Neymar -$95 Million
He signed a sizable contract with Puma in 2021 after announcing the early termination of his deal with Nike's Jordan Brand, and the offers haven't stopped coming in. Neymar maintained his projected earnings in 2022 as a result of the Neymar: The Perfect Chaos Netflix documentary series. Along with a few million dollar bored monkeys, NFTs are also on the books for the football star with an NFTSTAR collaboration.
5. Steph Curry -$92.8 Million
Steph Curry won't be on our list in 2021, but as he benefits from his four-year, $215 million extension deal that he signed in August, expect him to stick around for a few more years. Where will he stand in the contract's final year when he is expected to earn about $60 million? Who knows, but FTX Metaverse and Unanimous Media (Comcast NBCUniversal) should be at the top if the external investments in them pay off.
6. Kevin Durant -$92.1 Million
Kevin Durant, a star for the Brooklyn Nets, recovered from an Achilles injury that forced him to sit out the 2019–2020 season by securing a large bag. And even though the Nets' hopes of making the playoffs in 2021–2022, his earnings off the court gave him a cushion worth $50 Million. NBA Top Shot, Coinbase, Weedmaps, and NFT platform OpenSea are some of his most recent investment prospects.
7. Rodger Federer -$ 90.7 Million
Rodger Federer was the athlete who earned the most money off the court this year. With deals flowing in left, right, and center, the tennis star aced his way to an astounding figure of $90 Million off the court, with the biggest deals including Uniqlo and Rolex. When the business went public in September and generated an enormous $600 Million, his early investment in On running (2019) paid off.
8. Canelo Alvarez -$90 Million
Alvarez will appear on the list of the highest-paid sportsmen in 2022 as a result of two boxing contests that he won in the past year that each brought in more than $40 million. Mexican boxing matches will be broadcast on Matchroom Boxing and DAZN thanks to agreements with Hennesey and Canelo Productions.
9. Tom Brady -$83.9 Million
The now 44-year-old, who came out of retirement after only six weeks, looks like he won't be stopping anytime soon after capping off an incredible season with a Lombardi trophy to boot in 2021. The quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers increased his wealth in 2021 through endorsement deals with clothing giant Fanatics and eyewear manufacturer Christopher Cloos. He also has a MASSIVE $540 million deal with Fox set up for 2022.
10. Giannis Antetokounmpo -$80.9 Million
Giannis Antetokounmpo, the only person on the list of the highest-paid sportsmen in the world for 2022 who is under 30, inked a five-year, $228 million contract in December 2020, so expect him to remain there for a very long time. Off the field, he has also had endorsements from Whatsapp, Google, and a soon-to-be-released biopic on Disney+ called Rise, which will undoubtedly keep him on the list for the next ten years.


Skin infections in dogs are more common than many people realize. Whether caused by fungus, bacteria, allergies, or parasites, skin infections can lead to serious itching and irritation.
So, what do you do to make your dog feel better?
One option is to bathe him using a medicated dog shampoo. Dog shampoo exists for every need, including fungal infections like ringworm and yeast infections. You still need to take your dog to the vet to have him properly diagnosed and to determine whether some form of treatment is needed, but the right antifungal shampoo can support his treatment plan and relieve symptoms.
Keep reading to learn more about fungal infections in dogs and to see our top 6 picks for the best antibacterial and antifungal dog shampoo.
Dogs can develop skin infections any time of year, though they tend to be more common in the summer months when things are hot and humid. Fungus thrives in moisture, so it is important to keep your dog's ears clean and dry. If your dog's has deep wrinkles or skin folds, you may need to pay extra attention to keep them dry as well.
Both bacterial and fungal skin infections in dogs are fairly common, but how do you tell them apart? The key difference is that bacterial infections often cause your dog's skin to become dry and itchy while fungal infections are often wet.
A dog with allergies is more likely to develop a fungal infection, especially in warmer months.
Now that you know a little more about differentiating between fungal and bacterial infections in dogs, you may be wondering what causes these infections. Fungal infections often affect the dog's skin but can also spread into the body, causing respiratory symptoms. The two most common fungal skin infections in dogs are yeast infections and ringworm.
Ringworm is a highly contagious fungal skin infection that can be spread back and forth between humans and dogs. It typically presents with ring-shaped lesions on the skin and may progress to include itching, irritation, and inflammation as well as dandruff, scaling, and patches of hair loss. To treat ringworm, your veterinarian may recommend antifungal cream or ointment as well as antifungal medications. Antifungal dog shampoo for ringworm may also help to relieve the skin-related symptoms.
Yeast infections in dogs develop when yeast cells that are naturally present in your dog's coat start to multiply at a rapid rate. Caused by the Malassezia species of fungus, yeast infections can spread quickly and cause severe skin reactions in dogs. Some of the most common symptoms include extreme itching, irritation and inflammation, sores and lesions, greasy coat, hair loss, and foul-smelling discharge. If you suspect that your dog has a yeast infection, go to the vet for diagnosis and treatment.
For both ringworm and yeast infections in dogs, antifungal dog shampoo is a godsend. The best antibacterial and antifungal dog shampoo will feature gentle, natural ingredients to soothe inflammation and itching with moisturizing ingredients to restore skin and coat condition. It will also contain deodorizers and other natural ingredients to help your dog start feeling better fast.
Before you start shopping for an antifungal shampoo for dogs, be sure to visit your veterinarian for a diagnosis. Once your vet has determined which type of fungal infection your dog has, you can start the appropriate course of treatment and use antifungal dog shampoo to help relieve skin symptoms. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you which active ingredients to look for and how often it is safe to bathe your dog to speed the healing process.
Medication – If your dog is suffering from a fungal skin infection, you should consider a medicated shampoo. These shampoos are designed to help control the spread of fungus while also dealing with some of the physical symptoms of infection.
Natural Ingredients – When your dog is suffering from a skin infection, the last thing you want to do is make it worse by exposing him to chemicals and other harsh ingredients. Choose a dog shampoo made with all-natural ingredients – one that is hypoallergenic is even better.
pH Balance – You may not realize it, but your dog's skin has a different pH than yours and choosing a dog shampoo pH-balanced for your dog's skin is important to reduce irritation.
Moisturizers – Though many fungal infections cause your dog to develop wet sores or greasy coat, it is still important to moisturize his skin to speed the healing process. Look for natural moisturizers like oatmeal, tea tree oil, and aloe vera.
Deodorizers – Many dogs with fungal infections develop an odorous discharge that can be quite unpleasant. Look for an antifungal shampoo that also contains deodorizers to freshen your dog.
Conditioners – A 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner can help restore and maintain the healthy condition of your dog's skin and coat. You can also use a separate conditioner or a leave-in conditioner spray for long-lasting protection after each bath.
No matter which type of antifungal dog shampoo you choose, it is important to follow the instructions carefully. Many medicated shampoos need to be worked deep into the coat and then left to sit for 5 to 10 minutes – this is the best way to deliver the medication to your dog's skin where it can do the most benefit. After bathing, rinse your dog's coat thoroughly to remove all shampoo residue then let his coat air dry or use the blow dryer on low heat.

This formula is designed to be tough on bacteria and fungus but gentle on your dog's irritated skin to relieve the infection along with its physical skin-related symptoms.
What can I bathe my dog with for a yeast infection?
When it comes to bathing a dog with a yeast infection, you want to cleanse his skin and take steps to kill the fungus without irritating or drying out his skin. Choose a high-quality antifungal shampoo and bathe your dog in cool to lukewarm water. Follow the instructions on the shampoo to see whether you need to let the mixture sit on his skin after lathering or not. When you're ready to rinse, use cool water to rinse away the shampoo residue then rinse with water mixed with a little apple cider vinegar.
Does vinegar kill yeast on dogs?
One of the most popular natural remedies for yeast infections in dogs is apple cider vinegar. To use this remedy, mix a 50/50 solution of water and apple cider vinegar then spray it on your dog's coat twice a day for a week or until symptoms fade. This remedy works well when paired with an antifungal dog shampoo – you can bathe your dog with the shampoo and use the 50/50 solution to rinse. Make sure to let your dog's coat air dry, so you don't dry out his skin too much.
How do you treat fungal infection in dogs?
Treatment for fungal infections in dogs differs depending on the type of infection and its severity. For ringworm, antifungal creams or oral medications are the treatment of choice, but antifungal dog shampoo for ringworm can help relieve symptoms. For yeast infections, antifungal medications can be applied topically or taken orally and paired with antifungal shampoo to help with scaling, inflammation, and odors. In cases where there is a concurrent bacterial skin infection, antibiotics may also be needed.
If your dog has a yeast infection or ringworm, you need a high-quality antifungal shampoo. The best natural antifungal shampoo for dogs will be made with gentle ingredients to soothe and heal the skin as well as active ingredients to kill the fungus. If you're not sure where to start shopping, simply try one of our top six picks for the best antifungal dog shampoo reviewed above.

Stratton Duluth Brooks (September 10, 1869 – January 18, 1949) was the third president of the University of Oklahoma and eleventh president of the University of Missouri.

Early life
Stratton Brooks was born on September 10, 1869 in Everett, Missouri to Charles Myers and Marion (McClure) Brooks. At the age of two, he and his parents moved to Michigan where his father was a Sheriff in Isabella County, Michigan from 1878 to 1882.  Stratton Brooks graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School in 1887, the Michigan State Normal College in 1890, and the University of Michigan in 1896.

Early career
After graduating from Michigan, Brooks began his teaching career as principal of Adrian High School. He later served as vice president of the Mt. Pleasant Normal School and organized and was the first superintendent of LaSalle-Peru High School. In 1899 he became an assistant professor of education at the University of Illinois. He also served as a state inspector of high schools. In 1902 he moved to Boston, where he served as a supervisor of the Boston Public Schools. In 1903 he married Marcia Stuart of Port Hope, Michigan. In 1904 he earned a Master of Arts degree from Harvard University. On January 1, 1906 he became superintendent of the Cleveland Municipal School District. Two months later, Brooks returned to Boston to become superintendent of Boston Public Schools.

University of Oklahoma
When Brooks was first being courted for the position of OU president in 1911, he at first did not want the position. It was seen as a fledgling university and many on the East Coast were "still in shock" at the summary discharge of former president David Ross Boyd. He wasn't approached again until 1912 while at a national superintendent's meetings in St. Louis, Missouri. He was approached by William A. Brandenberg who was a member of the new Oklahoma State Board of Education. Again, Brooks refused the job but Brandenberg continued to pursue telling him that the Board desired to keep politics out of the selection process. Brooks still refused but gave advice on how to keep politics out of the process by saying that only the university president could appoint faculty and that the Board should have nothing to do with the administration of the university. Eventually, the Board agreed to these guidelines and was able to convince Brooks to accept the position. Brooks later said that, "Whatever was accomplished during my eleven years as president of the University, was possible only because the Board of Education that appointed me, and its successors, never violated the basic principles set forth in that first conference."

Brooks was inaugurated as president of the university in the spring of 1912. He immediately set to rebuilding the university. He found that many of Oklahoma's own citizens (over 1,500) were sending their children to out of state colleges. He immediately went about strengthening the faculty but he did not fire one individual brought in because of political connections if he was a good teacher. At the university, Brooks established a permanent faculty salary, sabbatical leave, and permanent tenure. He also acquired land around the university where the stadium and armory now stand. Brooks had a great reputation with the Board of Education (now the Board of Regents) and the Oklahoma legislature. During his years as president, many building were constructed around campus.

Accomplishments during WWI
Brooks' was also OU's first wartime president, have served during the duration of World War I. He made many efforts to see that the university was at the forefront of preparedness for all war needs. He imposed strict food regulations on the university and he established thirteen courses in seven different departments for the direct purpose of "training soldiers, training men who expect to become soldiers, and training people who take the place of soldiers in civil life." Some of these courses included: wire telegraphy, wireless telegraphy, stenography and shorthand, oxyacetylene welding, orthopedic surgery, military field engineering, and first aid courses. Students under 21 were required to take special courses in the Student Army Training Corps. Barracks, an infirmary, bathhouse, guardhouse, and canteen were constructed. By the latter part of 1918, the university was practically a military base. All in all, 30 faculty members, 500 alumni, and 1,875 students were in military service during the war.

End of the line at OU
Brooks' situation changed dramatically after John C. ("Jack") Walton was elected Governor of Oklahoma in 1922. Gone was the close working relationship he had with previous governors. Walton felt that Brooks was not enthusiastic about promoting the new governor's political agenda. Some of Walton's political advisors felt that the university was a hotbed of anti-Walton supporters. Edwin DeBarr, the OU vice president, had openly supported Walton's rival in the primary. After both Brooks and the Board of Regents had written letters to the members of OU's faculty, cautioning them against taking part in the upcoming election campaign, DeBarr continued to take an active political role, making fiery speeches supporting Walton's rival for the governorship, Robert H. Wilson, the state superintendent of education.

Walton, the Democratic nominee easily defeated Wilson, the Republican, in the general election of November, 1922, and was inaugurated in January, 1923. In May 1923, he abruptly dismissed four of the five existing regents from the board and replaced them with reliable supporters of himself and his agenda. The board quickly proceeded to terminate DeBarr's employment.

Walton then retaliated against Brooks, whose son-in-law was then president of the Oklahoma School of Mines in Miami, Oklahoma. Although Brooks openly hoped the young man could remain undisturbed in that position, Walton abruptly replaced him with a supportive legislator from Ottawa County. Then, Brooks voted against Walton's nomination of another supporter to become superintendent of vocational agriculture. Walton became furious with Brooks, and again replaced the occupants of the state board. That day, the Daily Oklahoman printed the story with the headline, "Brooks' Neck Expected to Feel the Ax Next." Walton explained his action to the press, "...the educational system must be removed as far as possible from political maneuvering,...(T)he university organization has been used against me by Yankee republicans and I believe that it should be in democratic hands."

University of Missouri
The University of Missouri (UM) previously had indicated to Brooks that it would like to have him take the job as president. He had previously rejected the interest, because he had become interested in continuing in Norman. Besides, his wife loved the place, and even told him once that that was the place where she hoped to be buried after death.

Regarding Walton's replacement of the regents, Brooks realized that he had no future in Oklahoma without top-level political support. He called UM and asked if the presidency was still open. The answer was, "Yes." He travelled to Missouri to meet with the school officials. The next day, he received a formal job offer with an annual salary of $12,500. He gave them his verbal acceptance. When he got home he wrote a one-sentence letter of resignation to one of the regents, which was immediately accepted.

The Brooks family bade goodbye to Oklahoma. Within six months, the Oklahoma legislature had enough of Walton's arbitrary behavior and roughshod power plays. They passed articles of impeachment and removed him from the Governor's office.

The budgetary problems Brooks faced at UM were much the same as those he left in Oklahoma. At least the school had not developed into quite as big a mess as OU had when he arrived in Norman. Still, a bizarre incident in 1931 derailed his career. Some sociology professors allowed release of a "sex survey" that most of the regents and ordinary citizens found offensive to their social views. Brooks saw the document, which he called "sewer psychology" and wanted to fire the faculty members who had authorized sending it out without his prior approval. The American Association of University Professors joined in the uproar. The regents then blamed Brooks for misleading them and creating a national scandal. Unable to defend himself, he resigned, and moved to Kansas City, so that UM could find a new leader.

Later life and subsequent death
Looking for something very different to do, he accepted the job as president of the Order of DeMolay, a Masonic institution for young men. When his wife died in 1941, Stratton Brooks brought her body back to Norman for burial. He lived the remainder of his life in Kansas City, Missouri with the family of his oldest daughter, Dorothy Callaway Brooks, her husband William Stocking Callaway, and their two daughters Penelope and Dorothy.

Bucs look for first win at home against the Cardinals
The Buccaneers are back home at Raymond James stadium for the first time since September 22nd as they will take on an improving Arizona Cardinals team.
The Bucs are on a four game losing streak coming off an overtime loss to the Seahawks 40-34. The Bucs are also 0-3 at home and will be looking for their first win of the season at Raymond James Stadium.
The Cardinals come to Tampa with a 3-5-1 record and are coming off a 28-25 loss to San Francisco. The Cardinals also feature the number one NFL pick Kyler Murray who is improving week by week.
Murray has passed for 2.229 yards this season and has ran the ball for 313 yard which is the best on the Cardinals. Murray will present a different set of challenges for this Bucs defense as he is extremely dangerous once he gets outside the pocket.
One of the keys to winning this game for the Bucs will be to keep Murray in the pocket. Murray is somewhat similar to Russell Wilson in that when he gets outside the pocket, he can beat you with legs and has at his disposable one of the best receivers to ever play the game in Larry Fitzgerald.
Vernon Hargreaves will have the challenge of going up against Fitzgerald, and just from a size stand point, the small Hargreaves could have a tough time against the bigger Fitzgerald.
The Cardinals will also get running back David Johnson back for this game. Johnson is averaging 3.9 yards per carry and Will again be the feature back for the Cardinals.
Running back Kenyon Drake adds another dimension to this Arizona offense that they did not have before. Drake picked up at the trade deadline had a nice game against the 49ers running for 115 yards and averaging 7.3 yards per carry.
The Bucs number one run defense giving up 70.8 yards on the ground has been able to shut down the top running backs that they have played against this season.
The Cardinals defense is ranked 30th in the NFL giving up 408 yards a game, but the defensive line boasts two of the premier linemen in the league in Chandler Jones and Terrell Suggs.
Jones has 9.5 sacks on the season and this duo could pose some problems for the Bucs offensive line and Jameis Winston.
The Cardinals defensive line will try to get pressure on Winston and force him into making poor decisions with the ball.
This game has the potential to be a high scoring affair as both teams have shown that they put points on the board quickly.
The Bucs have the number four scoring offense in the league at 28.8 points per game, while the Cardinals are ranked 19th averaging 22 points a game.
Tight end OJ Howard will be back for this game for the Bucs after missing the last two with a hamstring injury. Cam Brate who had also been battling injuries was a full go at practice on Thursday and should be ready to go on Sunday.
Ronald Jones will get his second start at running back. Jones, who gained 82 yards passing and receiving in Seattle last week will be going against a Cardinals defense that gives up 127 yards a game on the ground and 4.5 yards per carry.
The Mike Evans/Patrick Peterson matchup should be a good one. Evans is coming two of the best games of his career with 23 catches for 378 yards and three touchdowns.
If you shut Evans down, Chris Godwin is waiting on the other side. Shut Godwin down, you have Evans waiting. You can't double team both.
If the Bucs ever figure out how to properly use tight end OJ Howard, this offense will be lethal.
This should be an entertaining game. The team that has the ball last could be in position to win the game.
With the Bucs playing at home for the first time in forever, the Bucs will win this one in a shootout 34-31.

We know what a great street Palafox is; now the rest of the world is catching on.
The latest outpouring of love for Pensacola's main downtown thoroughfare is spurred by the American Planning Association, which named Palafox one of the country's "Great Places in America: Streets" for 2013.
The planners association cited the eight block of Palafox between Wright and Main streets for its history, architecture, use of green space and full calendar of street parties form New Year's Eve to Mardi Gras and Gallery Night.
The designation spurred media coverage that circulated the story of Palafox's beginnings and its recent rebirth in outlets from Yahoo News to The Washington Post.
Joe Scarborough, native son former congressman gone to the big time thanks to MSNBC, told his 268,000-plus Twitter followers to "read about my great hometown in the Washington Post" on Oct. 16.
The time for hiding our light under a bushel is over, friends. Get ready for our close-up.
There are still improvements to be had; still steps to be made. Personally, I won't think of the renaissance as complete until the Rex Theater has juice flowing in her art deco signage again.
Harvest Church bought the building in 2012 and has spent a pretty penny working on the building's innards. Their plans call for it to be a venue for the church, as well as a small-scale venue for theater, concerts or other events.
Our Great American Street has a bit of everything. Music. Eats. Culture. Shopping. A Saturday farmers market. A street party for nearly every occasion.
Near the foot of Palafox is Plaza de Luna, a park where the grungy Bayfront Auditorium used to stand. From there you can see Pensacola Bay, because the water is our lifeblood.
At the north end of the stretch of Palafox that the APA honored are churches. My favorite is Christ Episcopal Church, but other denominations have beautiful houses of worship on Palafox and just a stone's throw away nearby.
God and the water are never far from Pensacola's collective mind. It is only fitting that our Great Street is bookended by those things.
Something in a Pensacolian seems to wither if he or she is too far from the water for too long.
If anything could rival this community's love of the coast, it would be its ties of faith. Whatever your denomination, be it Sunday-go-to-meeting-formal or flip-flops-in-the-sand-style, we've got a spot you can gather to thank your higher power for the gift of last week and for the promise of the next.
That's our secret sauce. We find God in the details and in the good deeds. In the ebb and flow of the tide and the sparkle of a string of Mardi Gras beads.
We fight each other like family, storing up civic and personal slights, real and imagined, from decades past and dragging them out at every turn.
But we love this community the way a family loves, too, fiercely and forever, with special room in our heart for those who serve our country and those in need.
Who wouldn't want to live in a place with a street -- and with people -- like that.


Regardless of one's political affiliation, this drug epidemic must be faced with determination to eradicate this awful plague. Yet, in looking at The President's Final Report on Fighting Drug Addiction and Opioid Abuse, I find myself wondering how we got to this sad state of affairs in the first place.
Despite having only 5% of the world population, the US consumes 80% of the world's global opioid supply. More to the point, these are not disreputable drug barons south of the border peddling addictive drugs, but licensed members of the medical profession encouraging the use of lethal and addictive prescription drugs.
There have been pharmaceutical companies like the Sackler's firm of Purdue Pharma that used their considerable marketing skills to hype the benefits and hide the risks of opioids, but the most obvious revelation is that the very institutions that should have protected our backs may have been complicit in enabling them: the Healthcare System.
Unsubstantiated claims: High quality evidence demonstrating that opioids can be used safely for chronic non-terminal pain did not exist at that time. These reports eroded the historical evidence of iatrogenic addiction and aversion to opioids, with the poor-quality evidence that was unfortunately accepted by federal agencies and other oversight organizations.
Pain patient advocacy: Advocacy for pain management and/or the use of opioids by pain patients was promoted, not only by patients, but also by some physicians. One notable physician stated: "make pain 'visible'… ensure patients a place in the communications loop… assess patient satisfaction; and work with narcotics control authorities to encourage therapeutic opiate use… therapeutic use of opiate analgesics rarely results in addiction.
The opioid pharmaceutical manufacturing and supply chain industry: To this day, the opioid pharmaceutical industry influences the nation's response to the crisis. For example, during the comment phase of the guideline developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for pain management, opposition to the guideline was more common among organizations with funding from opioid manufacturers than those without funding from the life sciences industry.
Rogue pharmacies and unethical physician prescribing: The key contributors of the large number of diverted opioids were unrestrained distributors, rogue pharmacies, unethical physicians, and patients whose opioid medications were diverted, or other patients who sold and profited from legitimately prescribed opioids.
Inadequate oversight by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA): The FDA provided inadequate regulatory oversight. Even when overdose deaths mounted and when evidence for safe use in chronic care was substantially lacking, prior to 2001, the FDA accepted claims that newly formulated opioids were not addictive, did not impose clinical trials of sufficient duration to detect addiction, or rigorous post-approval surveillance of adverse events, such as addiction.
Reimbursement for prescription opioids by health care insurers: Sales of prescription opioids in the U.S. nearly quadrupled from 1999 to 2014, largely paid for by insurance carriers. It is estimated that 1 out of 5 patients with non-cancer pain or pain-related diagnoses are prescribed opioids in office-based settings.
Lack of foresight of unintended consequences: As prescription drugs came under tighter scrutiny and access became more limited (via abuse-deterrent formulations and more cautious prescribing), market forces responded by providing less expensive and more accessible illicit opioids.
Public demand evolves into reimbursement and physician quality ratings pegged to patient satisfaction scores: Prior to this year, poor patient satisfaction with pain care could lead to reduced hospital reimbursement by Medicare through Value-Based Purchasing (VBP). There are often higher costs or no specific reimbursements for alternative pain management strategies, alternative pain intervention strategies, or spending time to educate patients about the risks of opioids.
Given the scope of the problem, there is no question that urgent action needs to be taken to address this epidemic. Nevertheless, one must question why we should entrust leadership of that initiative to the same institutions that enabled the epidemic in the first place.
As reported earlier by SFTT in Opioids: Bipartisan Incompetence in DC and vividly documented in the joint Washington Post and 60 Minutes Report, there are entrenched political and business interests at play. I find it highly unlikely that they will release their grip on the brass ring with so much money at stake.
If you honestly believe that "big government" will get us out of the drug addiction and opioid abuse crisis the government and healthcare system colluded to create, P. T. Barnum has a bridge to sell you.
