Mexican conservation success threatened by wave of mining concessions
by Martha Pskowski on 29 April 2016
Mexico is known internationally for its environmental achievements. It is a pioneering country in Community Forestry Management (CFM), biodiversity protection, Payments for Environmental Services (PES) and climate change policy. This past year, Mexico was one of the first countries to complete its Intended Nationally Determined Commitments (INDCs) for the Paris climate talks.
Yet civil society organizations in Mexico have rung the alarm that these achievements are at risk due to intensified exploration and production in the mining and hydrocarbon sectors. Passed in 2014, sweeping energy reforms have opened up huge swaths of the national territory to energy prospecting. There are 888 currently active mining projects, making Mexico's mining industry the fourth largest in the world.
Many of these concessions overlap with protected areas and areas of social land tenure that local communities have managed and depended upon for generations.
Forty women, a few small children, and one adventurous dog pile into pick-up trucks parked in the town square. It is an early Saturday morning in March in the small mountain town of Capulálpam de Mendez in Oaxaca, Mexico. Mist hangs over the mountains that ring the town center, 45 miles from the state capital.
Capulálpam, home to 2,500 people, feels distant from the city, with no cell phone service and transportation out of town ending at six each evening. Capulálpam's residents are Zapotecs, one of the many indigenous groups in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.
Capulálpam's territory, governed under the common property system established after the Mexican Revolution, comprises of 4,500 hectares. We drive nine miles into the pine forest.
Reaching our destination in the forest, the town mayor, Saúl Aquino, explains that we are in the community's protected area, where no one is allowed to fell trees or extract other resources. Aquino points out the adjoining reforestation area, where trees have been planted to replace those logged in the sustainable forestry program.
Rosita López Martinez, a young woman from Capulálpam who works in environmental education, points out birds flitting around in the forest around us. She begins to hand out pamphlets that describe the birds found in Oaxaca.
"Songbirds are a biodiversity indicator," she said. "When we see these different types of birds, we know our forest is healthy."

Aquino adds that we are close to the springs that supply fresh water for the town. While most Mexicans have to drink bottled water due to sanitation problems, Aquino notes, "We should be very proud that here in Capulálpam, we can open the tap and drink our very own spring water."
Aquino continues, "Here in the community we have designated our protected area, our sustainable forestry area, our agricultural area." Capulálpam is also in Mexico's REDD+ Early Action Area and receives Payments for Environmental Services from the federal government.
But the region has also attracted the attention of industry, specifically because of its underlying gold and silver deposits. Showing a map to the group, Aquino says, "The federal government has given titles for all of our territory to foreign mining companies."
Contradictions in Mexican conservation policy
Yet civil society organizations in Mexico have rung the alarm that these achievements are at risk due to intensified exploration and production in the mining and hydrocarbon sectors. Sweeping energy reforms are a cornerstone of President Enrique Peña Nieto's administration. Passed in 2014, the reforms have allowed foreign investment in the energy sector for the first time since the industry was nationalized in the 1930s, following the Mexican Revolution. The highly controversial reforms opened up huge swaths of the national territory to energy prospecting.
Since 2014, the federal government has awarded 489 hydrocarbon concessions for exploration, extraction and production, covering a total of 11.4 million hectares – an area larger than the U.S. state of Virginia. Additionally, 37 million hectares nationwide are now divided between 33,303 mining titles, covering 18.8 percent of Mexico's landmass. There are 888 active mining projects, making Mexico's mining industry the fourth largest in the world.
One implication of these titles that is attracting the concern of conservationists is that they frequently overlap with natural protected areas.
"The federal government designates conservation areas and at the same time they promote some of the most polluting industries out there," said Daniel Sandoval, of the Mexico City-based organization Center for Studies of Change in the Mexican Countryside (CECCAM), in an interview with Mongabay.
Selling off Mexico's national parks
A full 10 percent of the surface area of natural protected areas in Mexico has been granted in mining titles, according to a recent study by Mexican biologist Elisa Jeanneht Armendariz-Villegas.
In total there are 2,542 mining titles within the limits of federal natural protected reserves. These concessions cover over 2.7 million hectares in 75 different national protected areas.
In several places in Mexico, mining concessions overlap with official protected areas.
Mexico has one of the most extensive Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) programs worldwide, which provide incentives to landowners in exchange for preserving ecosystem services on their properties. But according to data from CECCAM, there are currently 6,453 mining concessions overlapping with 5.1 million hectares that are eligible for PES. Mexico is also aggressively developing its national Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) program, which aims to enhance forest management in developing countries. Yet within the Early Action Areas for REDD+ more than 2.6 million hectares have been titled for mining.
Under the Law of Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection, Mexico's primary environmental legislation, mining or hydrocarbon extraction can take place within protected reserves if the environmental secretary issues a permit based on an environmental impact assessment. The exploitation must take place, "without deteriorating the ecosystem, changing the landscape in a significant way, or causing irreversible environmental impacts," according to the policy. The national Mining Law also indicates that mining within protected areas, "Can only take place with the authorization or permission of the authorities who are in charge of the area."
Even though proposed mining projects in protected areas must pass an environmental assessment, Armendariz-Villegas argues, "Mining, especially large-scale, is definitely not a low-impact activity."
The Mexican government claims that the overlap is incidental and that protected areas will not be impacted, according to Daniel Sandoval who authored a recently published report that documents mining and hydrocarbon titles in protected areas and indigenous territories. In an interview with Mongabay, he said, "Our question is, if that's true, why put the protected areas at risk in the first place?"
Government officials did not respond to interview requests. Margarita Lozada Nava, an Environmental Director in the Economy Secretary, stated in a publicly-available PowerPoint presentation that, "Open dialogue promotes more opportunities to reach agreements that seek a balance between using natural resources and protecting the environment."
Oaxaca: local communities protect biodiversity
Oaxaca is a key state in Mexican conservation initiatives. It has some of the largest extensions of temperate and tropical forests and some of the highest biodiversity levels in the country. It is also home to pioneering Community Forestry Management (CFM) projects that have allowed local communities to generate income and employment from sustainable timber harvests.
More than half the state of Oaxaca is covered with dense forest. Data from the forest monitoring platform Global Forest Watch show forest loss has been trending downward in recent years, declining 50 percent from 2007 to 2014. But 2015 data indicate deforestation may again be on the rise. Oaxaca is also home to a large number of endangered species found nowhere else in the world. The Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE), a consortium of conservation organizations, lists a total of 38 of these species in the state — 22 of which inhabit one AZE site bordering Capulálpam de Mendez.
Seventy-eight percent of Oaxaca is held under communal land tenure. After the Mexican Revolution of the early 20th century, the new government carried out the most extensive land re-distribution of its time in Latin America. Indigenous communities that had continually occupied their territories were granted legal titles and referred to as "agrarian communities." People who petitioned the government and received land were organized into "ejidos." Residents of both ejidos and agrarian communities, together known as social land tenure, are organized in assemblies that decide political issues for the community.
Agrarian communities and ejidos have the legal right to decide land uses within their territory. However, this right is limited, as the federal government holds the mineral rights to the land and the right to regulate timber extraction.
This complicated legal situation has contributed to a level of distrust that exists in some communities towards state-led conservation efforts. In addition to the communities that have entered into federal or state natural protected areas, many communities have adopted their own local systems to conserve their natural resources. Such is the case of Capulálpam, where the community assembly has designated a protected reserve, but it is not certified with the national reserves system.
The hesitance to enter federal conservation programs stems from both the restrictions placed on communities in federal reserves, and the loss of decision-making power over issues such as mining. Sandoval insists that the efforts of indigenous communities to protect their lands must be respected, instead of handing over more control to federal conservation programs.
"The most important work to conservation natural resources in Mexico has been done by indigenous communities," he said. "The government takes credit for the work indigenous communities have done for centuries to preserve their territories."
There are currently 416 active mining concessions in Oaxaca, covering a total of 472 thousand hectares, or 8 percent of the state's territory. Eighty percent of these concessions are within areas of social land tenure. Oaxaca has ten federal protected areas; two now have mining concessions.
Capulálpam: the mining town that placed its bets on conservation
Capulálpam has received accolades for its sustainable forestry and forest conservation practices over the past two decades. Yet gold and silver mining is at the heart of the community's history, going back to the 1700s when Spaniards started to extract minerals with the local labor force.
This history is recognized with a statue of a miner outside the town hall. A government tourism initiative called "Magic Towns" has brought more services, restaurants and WiFi hotspots to the town over the past seven years, but much of life remains the same: eating hand-made corn tortillas, sharing the traditional mezcal alcohol made from the agave plant and heaping plates of yellow mole made from tomatoes and chihuacle chilies at festivals.

Community members are concerned that re-opening and expanding the mines will threaten this lifestyle and their conservation initiatives.
"The old mining was very basic, with pickaxes and hand-operated machines, but now it would be modern mining," said Capulálpam mayor Saul Aquino. "What they extracted over 200 years, now they would be able to extract over just ten or fifteen years."
The small community of Natividad, which neighbors Capulálpam, was the site of the original mines. Production dwindled for decades and the mines finally closed in the 1990s.
The local community had begun to oppose the mining due to health and environmental impacts, despite its important place in the local economy. Elders in Capulálpam confirmed what they had witnessed for several years: at least thirteen aquifers located across the communal territory had disappeared gradually over the course of the last 40 years. Gold and silver extraction require vast amounts of water, and the mine had been drawing off the community aquifers for more than two centuries.
In 2003, Capulálpam residents learned that the Canadian Natividad Company was carrying out exploratory activities in their territory. This was happening without consultation with Capulálpam residents, a right for indigenous communities under Mexican and international law. Without the community's consent, the federal government had concessioned its entire territory to mining companies. The community assembly succeeded in halting the activities because the company was not permitted and had not carried out a local consultation.
After changes to the Law of Foreign Investment in 1996, foreign companies are now allowed to invest in mining with no restrictions and hold one hundred percent of mining assets. The Vancouver-based Continuum Resources Group mining company bought Natividad and continues to pursue mining activities in the community.
Aquino has been directly involved in the movement against the mining. "Yes, we want jobs and we want investment," he said, "but we want jobs and investment that don't destruct the environment."

The community assembly of Capulálpam has lodged a legal challenge against the mining companies, which have been barred from any further activities for the time being. Despite Capulálpam's achievements in sustainable forestry and biodiversity conservation, international mining companies, with the support of the federal government, remain poised to enter their territory.
Civil society responds to mining boom in Mexico
Capulálpam is one of numerous communities in Mexico that have used legal channels to halt or end mining activity. Communities confronting airport, highway and pipeline construction have also used similar strategies. As more indigenous groups in Mexico become familiar with their rights under the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the ILO Convention 169, these legal challenges become more common.
CECCAM and other civil society organizations work with local communities to understand their rights and take action.
"The government puts forward an image that it is a government that respects human rights, an ecologically-minded government," Sandoval said. "It has been difficult to make visible and public what is really happening in the country."
The issue has garnered little attention outside Mexico. Conservation projects in the country receive funding from a bevy of international conservation organizations, notably The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International. They have been quiet on the issue of mining and hydrocarbon concessions, including in regions where they implement projects, such as the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve.
"It would help if some of the international funders would talk about these contradictions in government policy," Sandoval said. "There is documentation on these issues, but some funders aren't well-informed."
Communities such as Capulálpam have faced the encroachment of mining activities face-on, maintaining an opposition movement for more than a decade. Yet conservationists working in the region say action is needed at the national level to slow the tide of mining concessions impacting natural protected areas and indigenous communities.
"It should be a priority to give a legal basis to the cancellation of mining concessions that have already been designated in natural protected areas," Armendariz-Villegas writes, "and to stop giving away more of these concessions."

There are many hours of music.
Ensembles (2015-2019)
Notes, musicians and instruments
As I wrote in the page concerning my projects, have many musical groups doesn't mean work like a juke-box, it means focus into different situations and directions, but always close to what is the personal research and development. Each of these collaborations has allowed a sort of continuum and progression of my musical ideas and views together, they are a sort of large puzzle, where each anchor adds new elements, thanks to the specificity of the group. Also, it is very difficult to keep alive such projects that are uncompromised and, as a consequence, rather out from the music biz establishment, but I think that the duty of every artist should be to pursue with determination and devotion his/her vocation.

Track 10. Ipersensity: Daniele Pagliero (laptop, analogic and electronic instruments) me on electronic percussion pads, laptop editing. The way we work is the follows: Daniele sends sounds — via midi connection — to eight or more electronic pads, which are played in real-time by me, with drum sticks (or also with pedals). In this way, the choices of each musician is directly reflected on the other musician's work. Neither know where the music will go, because it goes its own way, regardless of the performers possible intentions. In practice, the sound produced by each pad (its heights, its timbre, its volume and its attack) could change in any moment, offering a shifting base for an improvised percussive work. Sound development and rhythmic movement, two elements usually taken care of by a single musician, are the inextricable result of the two musicians. Daniele is therefore responsible for the sound choice, while my role is to play and compose the music in real time, based on constantly changing material. The album was dedicated to the memory and the work of Derek Bailey, who died in the same day of these recordings.
Track 11. The Five Roosters: Mario Arcari (curved soprano sax) Massimo Falascone (alto sax, baritone sax, iPad) Martin Mayes (french horn) Roberto Del Piano (electric bass guitar) me on drums, percussion. Free improvisation.

Track 14. Rediffusion: Andrej Bako (laptop, electronics) Karen O'Brien (laptop, electronics) Gareth Mitchell (prepared electric guitar, objects) me on electronic percussion pads. Free improvisation.
Track 15. Gianni Gebbia (alto sax) me on drums, percussion. Free improvisation.
Track 16. Gbur: Dominik Gawara (electric fretless bass guitar) Paolo Caleo (caleophon) Maurizio Suppo (electric guitar) Ivan Pilat (baritone sax) Daniele Pagliero (sampler, electronics) me on drums, electronic percussion pads. Free improvisation.
Track 17. Margine: Alessandro Cartolari (alto and sopranino sax, microphone) Luca Cartolari (electric fretless bass guitar) Paolo De Piaggi (laptop, electronics, mixer) me on drums, percussion, tapes, electronics, direction. The entire work of Esplendor Lunare 1+2, (here's an extract) is divided into two long tracks and have been built in three phases: A) multi track recording of some short free improvisation by the instrumental trio; B) sampling, manipulation and handling via computer of the recordings and definition of the effects to use; C) final mix, one for each track, totally improvised on the basis of these organized elements.
Track 18. Orbitale Trio: Paolo De Piaggi (electric guitar, electronics) Ivan Pilat (bariton sax, flute) me on drums, percussion / guests Roy Paci (trumpet, flute, piano, violin, armonica) Fred Casadei (double bass, electronics, piano). Free improvisation.
Notes and instrumentation
Mostly musicians write their scores on paper or through computer and occasionally they discuss with colleagues, by drawing lines and making signs, as mathematicians or physicists. I like it, but for me it's never been like that. The music is there, through an instrument and then another, I have to capture the music with playing and making choices with the help of my experiential background. I'm not interested in writing music, or fix procedures, I like to express my musical ideas simply playing them. As an improviser, in my solo albums, except the acousmatics, I'm involved on this way of making/composing, if the other is to write the music. I think music of today should no longer be written in all aspects, it's old stuff, because sound requires improvisation, as life, the process will be alive, true and credible. At last, this is the reason why, among other urgencies, composers from twentieth century have opened their music to procedures of indeterminacy and have started to work on aleatoric strategies and then, to improvisation, although under tight control. And jazz music starts its adventure and metamorphoses in the same century! To say nothing about Baroque music, approximately 1600 to 1750, already plunged in improvisation or again, about improvisation in ethnic music. Definitely, the complexity of modern world needed a new statement of intent in the fields of music and visual arts. Well, it's a long story, you know. However, the fact remains that we have an enormous corpus of ideas and achievements behind us: when you make sounds with stones on the beach, you are playing the piece entitled Stones (from Prose Collection) composed by Christian Wolff in 1969. In music nothing was neglected, but what is truly unique and peculiar is ourselves: this is where the musician of today (and in general, the person) must go, with the knowledge and the experiences of the past: ourselves is the new direction. Concerning my solo albums, the beginning is always been the same: decide which musical instruments are to use and then, leave it to intuition, proceeding brick by brick, I make connections. What I have in mind about the music is important, but it's related to instrumentation, and that's why it's the most stimulating and characterizing phase of the process. (We skip Nattiez). This is the main reason whereby each of my solo albums has a different equipment and focus. Maybe, a point of interest in my solo recordings is the choice to work with poor equipment, I don't care about the latest crafty thing, it's quite a political choice. Anyway, a little bit different is my relationship with drums and cymbals. My last solo album is from 2007, later my attention was totally focused on drums.
Tracks 1. / 2. / 3. Electronic percussion pads. The whole album Musiche delle Circostanze was played, composed, improvised and recorded in autumn 1995. All the music was played with drumsticks on electronic percussion pads, without overdubs.
Track 4. Electronic percussion pads, laptop. Composed in 2007, MKUltra comes as a suite of minimal techno with twenty-eight distinct parts, all with different combinations of rhythms and sounds – using a few tens of sampled sound sources -. The original samples have been previously edited by Londoners Andrej Bako and Karen O'Brien and here there were used through electronic pads with drumsticks and no overdubs. The composition is a radical reconstruction of a free improvisation, played and recorded in a solo concert, as part of a festival held in Reggio Calabria in 2004.
Track 5. Percussions, prepared electric bass guitar, two voices. As the album's title suggests (Pezzi Circolari, circular pieces) all the tracks – including the followings n.6, n.7 and n.8 – investigate some small repetitive rhythmic aspects and simple instrumental relationships. Experimental devotion and extended techniques are the bases of this music, as always in my procedures. The whole work was recorded between 1998 and 1999.
Track 6. Clarinet, electronic percussion pads, prepared electric guitar, electric bass guitar. (See note on 'Track 5′).
Track 7. Two electric guitars. (See note on 'Track 5′).
Track 8. Four acoustic guitars. (See note on 'Track 5′).
Tracks 9. / 10. / 11. SPD8 Roland electronic percussion pads with drumsticks, Yamaha DX7 synth, Roland Digital Effects Processor DEP-3, Alesis QuadraVerb GT (a stereo effects unit that combines analog and digital electronics), Soundcraft mixer. Analog electronic music composed between 2000 and 2001. Each track of the album Linked was played entirely in real time (all the parts were overdubbed with a multitrack recorder). Sequencer, samplings and computer weren't used and make the difference. The music, in some way, is close to the aesthetics of New York's minimalism but you hear minimal techno, even acid house if you like the words and categories but anyway, it's electronic with human touch.
Track 12. Stereo-set (including two tape recorders, amplifier, turntable, radio), vinyls, tapes. The album Margini di Riciclo contains thirty four tracks of tape music, divided into two long pieces (here's an extract); the composition of the tape's collage has been assembled both vertical and horizontal. This work was composed from 1990 to mid 1993 and it was produced by means of a creative use of a common stereo-set with a special peculiarity: exerting the same pressure simultaneously on two or more of the selection keys of the amplifier, these channels would have been activated, with the result that you could listen, through the loud speakers, both turntable and radio, for make an example; and the whole thing would have been recorded on tape from one of the two recorders connected to the system. Another curiosity was offered by cassettes with chrome or metal tapes: if re-recorded again, for a second or third time, without selecting the frets 'chrome' or 'metal' on the recorder, the new recording wouldn't have erased the first, but only overdubbed. The 'discovery' of these tricks have been the basis of Margini di Riciclo, the rest is a painstaking work of cut-up technique, manipulations of contemporary and popular music, more or less altered vinyls and radio broadcasters, which enter into the music in aleatory way for most of the time. Musical instruments and computers weren't used. At that time as a background, I was inspired by Cage's Imaginary Landscape and WIlliams Mix (known only on books and not heard, the same for the early works by Schaeffer); some years after I have known the work of composer John Oswald and his idea of 'plunderphonics'. Concerning the texts used through the various voices – mostly were taken from several spoken word albums of William S. Burroughs, Jello Biafra and Timothy Leary – have been chosen with great care but some times were recorded in aleatory way, directly from radio stations; the words show a precise outline, a sort of complaint to the contemporary world. I guess this work has touched – musically – some things that have been written on the book titled Mille Plateaux by Deleuze and Guattari. A similar album was recorded by me in 1989 with the name Urban Hard Beat Energy, published on Old Europa Cafe.
Track 13. Prepared electric guitars, live electronics, feedback, analogue synthesizers (Kork SM20 and Eko Ekosynth P15), block flute, tv-set, radio, objects, tapes, cut-ups. Opera was my first musical project and at that time, big influences were the ideas and the music of John Cage and the most radical side of post punk culture. Here's a selection from three tapes published by Old Europa Cafe in the Eighties.
Ghost note. I add in these notes on soloist discs, a brief description of double album "Ripercuotere", because it can be heard on the second YouTube player below. Instrumentation: drums, electronic percussion pads, prepared guitar, oscillator (VCO), keyboard and objects. All music was taken from ten hours of free improvisations, recorded in the heart of several nights in the autumn of 1994, without overdubs.
There is many other music uploaded on YouTube, taken from albums – also some full albums – and a large number of concert footage. Of course, musicians have to pay bills like everyone and sell their own records is already something, but also, it is a fact that there are innumerable albums out of print, so I decided to share a bit of my music on the most popular web platform. Good listening.

Penn Vet's Intensive Care Unit at Ryan Hospital functions as an advanced trauma/intensive care treatment and diagnostic center, akin to our counterparts in human hospitals.
Our Intensive Care Unit is always open and staffed to provide care for the most critically ill small animal patients, either from within our hospital or by referral from other hospitals.
Pets admitted to the Intensive Care Unit are treated by our world-renowned team to provide round-the-clock care. Our ICU is staffed by four full-time attending veterinarians who are board-certified specialists in emergency and critical care (Diplomates of ACVECC), 12 licensed veterinary technicians who specialize in intensive care nursing, many of whom have specialty certification (AVECCT), as well as residents training to become emergency and critical care specialists, and interns seeking advanced training after graduation from veterinary school.
Often working behind the scenes, the ICU staff ensures the best possible outcome for your critically ill pet by providing the most advanced care available.
We care for the sickest patients in the hospital 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, admitting some 1,200 dogs and cats each year, and our special species caseload is growing. Our ICU can provide care for 8-12 patients at a time.
Many of our patients are referred to us by other veterinarians who realize that these animals may die unless they receive our specialized level of care, resources and expertise. Although these are all high-risk patients, we are proud of our >75% rate of survival to discharge.
Each of our patients is admitted to the ICU because of a life-threatening disease or condition and/or the need for advanced pain management or complex fluid or drug therapy.
Common disease processes treated in our ICU include severe heart disease, kidney failure, complicated diabetes, advanced neurologic disease and cancer. In addition, we provide specialized post-operative care for high-risk surgical and trauma patients.
We have specialized equipment to care for our patients including state-of-the-art oxygen cages for patients that require oxygen supplementation, intravenous fluid pumps, syringe pumps, portable ultrasound, mechanical ventilators, and advanced hemodynamic monitoring capabilities including direct arterial blood pressure.
The ICU also houses a blood gas analyzer to measure blood gases, electrolytes, lactate, acid-base, and hemoglobin concentration, as well as a colloid osmotic pressure monitor.
We can provide long-term mechanical ventilatory support for patients unable to breathe on their own.
We routinely provide postoperative care to patients that have undergone major surgical procedures such as renal transplant, thoracic surgery, interventional radiology procedures, and craniotomies (brain surgery).
Each patient's care and well-being is assessed constantly by several members of the ICU team, We offer a very low ratio of patients to staff, with most doctors and technicians able to focus their efforts exclusively on one to three patients per day.
How many animals can the ICU treat at once?
We can care for up to 12 animals at a time and still provide the high level of care that is our standard.
How long does a patient typically stay in the ICU?
The average stay for a patient in ICU is 2-3 days, although some pets may only need our care for a few hours or others will need to stay for several weeks.
Why might your pet need us?
Can I visit my pet in the ICU?
Your primary clinician at Ryan Hospital will call with updates at least 1-2 times a day. When you speak with your clinician you can arrange a time to visit your pet, typically during normal business hours. Visits may be limited in length due to the critical nature of our patients and caseload in the room.
Will my primary care veterinarian be updated?
We will call your primary care veterinarian the day your pet is transferred to the ICU and then will provide regular updates throughout their stay. A copy of their discharge instructions will be sent to your veterinarian when your pet goes home. It is important to keep all members of your pet's healthcare team up to date to optimize outcomes.
What is the technician-to-patient ratio?
Our ICU veterinary technicians provide care for between one and three patients at any given time.
Is there a veterinarian in the ICU all night long?
There is a veterinarian in the hospital at all times. Our ICU veterinary technicians are always in the ICU. The ICU residents and faculty are in the ICU 7 days a week, and are on call to provide patient care 24 hours a day. Whenever there is a critical patient in the ICU, a doctor from our team is in ICU 24 hours a day.
What is an ACVECC Diplomate?
What is an AVECCT-certified technician?
The Academy of Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Technicians (AVECCT) is the first organization to be recognized by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America as a veterinary technician specialty. Veterinary technicians who successfully meet the credential requirements and pass the AVECCT examination are designated as Veterinary Technician Specialists (Emergency & Critical Care). These are specially trained veterinary technicians who can provide the most advanced and intensive care for critical veterinary patients, and are an extremely vital part of the ICU team.

Campus leader Bennett guides student body
By Nick May '13
Photo by Alec Vick '15 - Jeff Bennett '13 participates in various school clubs and activities such as student council.
It's 6:15 A.M.
While most students are still in bed dreading the buzz of alarm clocks, Jeff Bennett '13 is already starting his lengthy drive from his home in Anthem to begin his busy day.
He starts each day as a Student Council member, which he has been a part of for three years.
"Student Council is awesome," Bennett said. "It's really sweet because we get to put on great events for everyone. At least I hope they're great."
After StuCo, Bennett attends a catalog of AP and honors classes to obtain his dream of attending Stanford or another top tier college.
"I'm going for Stanford, Duke, Boston College, Claremont-McKenna, Notre Dame and I don't know, maybe Columbia," Bennett said.
Bennett participates in the fall Xavier musical every year and earned the male lead role of "Beauty and the Beast" in his junior year.
More recently he was a part of the Xavier musical "Sound of Music," again taking the male lead role of Captain Von Trapp.
"The theater is sweet," Bennett said. "You pretty much get to do whatever you want on stage and kind of take over and it's pretty gratifying. It's one of my passions."
In the spring, Bennett will be a member of the Brophy volleyball team.
"We are gonna win state," Bennett said. "I hope I didn't jinx it. This year is going to be great though. We've got a great group of guys."
Coming into his senior year on the volleyball team, Bennett will be expected to take on a greater leadership role on the court.
"I think it's his most challenging leadership role because volleyball is the one place where he is really good but there are kids that are more talented than he is and so he has to lead from the back," said Mr. Tony Oldani. "He has to impact the kids with what he says and how he goes about things."
Bennett also plays a role in clubs on campus taking leadership roles in many of them.
"I'm a Big Brother, the Red and White club for the admissions office and I'm on the NHS and Family to Family executive board," Bennett said.
While Bennett is thoroughly involved in activities, he doesn't let it get to his head.
"He isn't a kid who has had success and let it change who he is and how he treats people," Mr. Oldani said. "He is still this kind of lovable dork despite being great at lots of things."
Bennett said he partakes in all these activities for the right reasons.
"I'm just doing these things because I like to stay involved," Bennett said. "I like to stay busy. I just don't want to be that conceded guy that talks about all the stuff he does. I hope I can be an inspiration and role model for younger kids to get involved and break out of their shell."

Victor Adam was born in Paris in 1801, son to the engraver Jean Adam. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1814-18, and again in the ateliers of Meynier and Regnault. He was employed by the Museum of Versailles after his succesful exhibition Hermina Succouring Tancred in 1819.
He continued to paint for the Museum of Versailles until 1838 when he decided to disappear from public view. In 1846 Victor Adam had reemerged into the public eye by exhibiting a number of lithogrpahs, a medium he had practiced until his death at Viroflay in 1866.

Ballers Bold Predictions For 2012
Never one to shy away from controversy, Brooklin Legacy Owner Mike Mazgay, delivers his 5 Bold Predictions for the upcoming fantasy season. We will see if Baller puts his Money, Cash, Money where his month is come October! Enjoy a fun read by one the most entertaining owners in the O.
Matt Kemp – 50/50?
Actually no. But really close. He will steal 50 bags but fall shy on the jack count. 47 to be exact. The only reason he won't make it is because of his home park. Most of you are probably thinking, "Baller you're a moron" and I am! But I've watched Kemp and I my know he's incredibly special. His team has nothing to fight for. All he has to do this season is pad his stats. And he will!
Jason Cheese – Money Spot?
I've heard rumblings that people think Cheese will finish in the money. I'm here to dispel that notion. Look, he's building a decent team. That said, he doesn't have the stones to make the moves necessary to win. We are talking about a guy who wouldn't trade A-Rod for a guaranteed Shooter Cup in 2007!! I also predict that Dan Haren will retire on his team.
Man-Ram
Most people think Manny's return will be a joke. Look, I'm not even sure if he will ever play again. He might find something more interesting to do with his time. That said, if he plays I think he will be a huge surprise. Look at 2010. In 90 games, he hit .298, 9 jacks and 42 RBI. Not bad production. I think that he has a lot to prove and wouldn't even attempt a comeback if he didn't have it in him. I'm predicting 100 games, .310, 14 jacks and 43 RBI. For just over half the season that's not bad! When you look at where he will be drafted, he will be the steal of the draft!
Gaping Gash: Champs or Chumps?
Well, our red headed friend Chris Lowery is going for it this year. Really??? Am I missing something here? Did me, Chard, Conley, Dunner, Dickie and Fisher all drop out of the league?? Did I miss the memo?
Let's look at his squad. And I use that term loosely. Josh Hamilton. Playing for a contract but fighting the demons. The pressure of the contract and temptations of the next line and Coors Light will be too much. Poor guy gonna fall apart. Next!!! At least he has Carl Crawford. That worked out well last year. Didn't it? He ended up being one of the biggest busts ever. Sure. He may get better, but we won't see a return to the glory days. AL East teams have caught up with him. Reyes should be good in Florida. Outside of dropping all of his power in the new park and trying to defend himself from the daily death threats from Han-Ram all should be good in south beach. There's the core!!
He's got scary starting pitching in Hanson (mad concussion issues) and Zimmerman on the mound. Yikes! Lind can barely hit his weight, J-Roll is a shell of his former self, and A-Ram is a ram. Choo? A decent 3rd of on a so so team. Alex Gordon is good. If he played another position. Way too light hitting for a corner OF spot. You could easily get more power in the 8th round of the draft.
Look stranger things have happened. But this team is full of question marks. A 5th place finish would be an achievement for this squad.
Anthony Rendon – time to trade Zimmerman??
It wouldn't be a true "Baller Prediction" article without me bigging up one of my RK properties! The haters will point to Brandon wood and JD Closser, I'd counter with Longo, Ellsbury and Posey. I tend to poke fun at the league about being "asleep at the switch". Truth be told, I think we were ALL asleep at the switch kids!! I assumed that Rendon had already been RK'd. In my other league, he's been RK'd since he was tearing up little league! Not until I asked the question, did I realize he was still there! It was my bad and your bad!!! Bottom line, he's the next Longo. Booook it!! He's going to have an amazing spring, but won't start the season with the big club. He's always been projected as a 2013 guy. Something tells me that he will make a significant impact this year. Either Zimmerman will go down again or he will be simply too good to ignore. Either way, he's going to blow up!! You all missed a perennial .300, 30 jacks, 100 RBI guy. Shame on you!
ASS says:
Weee… I do like him. His sassy take on things really pumps an adreline shot straight into the heart of this league! Bravo and encore!
Well no complaints, we got a prttey good draw, compared to what we could of gotIt will be an interesting matchup with AC with most of their players and manager saying that Barca are the only team better than them (haha) We'll show them that we are light years ahead of them, then there is the chance to shut Ibra up Not too sure about the other 2 teams, but they'll fight it out for Europa Look forward to seeing the team be in Munich

Compétition

Format
Chacune des dix équipes participant au championnat s'affronte à trois reprises pour un total de vingt-sept matchs chacune. Tous les matchs sont joués au Victoria Stadium de Gibraltar. L'équipe terminant dixième est directement reléguée en deuxième division tandis que l'équipe terminant à la neuvième place joue un match de barrage promotion-relégation contre le second de deuxième division.

Classement
Les équipes sont classées selon leur nombre de points, lesquels sont répartis comme suit : trois points pour une victoire, un point pour un match nul et zéro point pour une défaite. Pour départager les égalités, les critères suivants sont utilisés :
 Différence de buts générale
 Nombre de buts marqués

Si ces critères ne permettent pas de départager les équipes à égalité, celles-ci occupent donc la même place au classement officiel. Si deux équipes sont à égalité parfaite au terme du championnat et que le titre de champion, la qualification à une compétition européenne ou la relégation sont en jeu, les deux équipes doivent se départager au cours d'un match d'appui disputé sur terrain neutre.

Morant would be the first Memphis Grizzly to participate in the Slam Dunk contest since Rudy Gay 2007-2008 season.
The rookie point guard has been nothing less than thrilling through his first three months in the NBA. Morant has been named Rookie of the Month for the months of November and December, and seems to have taken the league by storm with highlights nightly.
Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Morant is currently leading all rookies in points per game (17.6), assists per game (6.6), and efficiency (17.7). Ja is indeed the 'Ja-dropper" that many expected to be, one of the next stars in NBA, and is somehow still exceeding expectations.
For Grizzlies fans, some of the highlights Morant makes on a nightly basis are becoming normal to us. The hesitations on rim runs that put big men in concrete, the ability to hang in the air leading to a pass to his teammates - it is becoming almost routine.
While Morant is still just considering the invitation, he has time to decide. Last season the participants weren't announced until the beginning of February. Morant has the opportunity to take his game, name, and Grizzlies organization to the next level, but still has several things to consider in this decision factoring in fatigue, injury, etc.

Letters from the Spanish Civil warfare presents a distinct point of view into the motivations that led a tender guy from the yankee heartland to defy U.S. neutrality and go back and forth to Spain to struggle in security of democracy opposed to Nazi-and Fascist-backed aggression. Born in a small city in rural Ohio, Carl Geiser got here from a deeply spiritual German-speaking family members that had lately emigrated from Switzerland. The onset of the good melancholy uncovered Geiser to the truth of demanding occasions and discrimination, tough his trust that arduous paintings may deliver self-reliance and simply rewards. This awakening led him to question the common sense and values of capitalism and to develop into energetic in various formative years and scholar companies associated with the Communist Party.
Following the 1936 army rebellion that used to be supported by way of Hitler and Mussolini opposed to Spain's legally elected Republican executive, Geiser made up our minds that extra had to be performed than just supplying speeches and elevating cash to struggle fascism. becoming a member of with over 35,000 volunteers from fifty nations to go the Pyrenees and support shield the beleaguered and remoted executive, Geiser acted on his own political ideology, which was once in response to American small-town communal values and internationalist beliefs of class-based solidarity.
In Letters from the Spanish Civil struggle, almost certainly the most important surviving choice of letters written through a U.S. volunteer in this clash, Geiser eloquently describes to friends and family the deep own motivations that led him to hazard his existence to protect democracy in a far flung nation. His specific descriptions of the day-by-day fact of conflict in a single of the 1st battlefields of worldwide struggle II sought to motivate these again domestic to evoke the U.S. public opinion and coverage makers to the worldwide probability of Fascist expansionism.
Edward W. stated locates Joseph Conrad's worry of non-public disintegration in his consistent re-narration of the previous. utilizing the author's own letters as a consultant to realizing his fiction, acknowledged attracts a huge parallel among Conrad's view of his personal existence and the way and type of his tales. The critic additionally argues that the writer, who set his fiction in unique destinations like East Asia and Africa, initiatives political dimensions in his paintings that replicate a colonialist preoccupation with "civilizing" local peoples. acknowledged then means that this size could be thought of whilst examining all of Western literature.

His spouse, Dolly, heavily guided Grey's occupation nearly from its starting, modifying and occasionally revising his paintings, negotiating with publishers and film studios, and assuredly handling the enormous fortune derived from those activities.
Dolly maintained the facade of a traditional married existence that was once necessary to Grey's public photo and the normal middle-class values his paintings mirrored. This facade was once regularly threatened by way of Grey's various affairs with different girls. the tension of hiding those dalliances put an incredible pressure on their dating, and lots more and plenty of Zane and Dolly's union used to be sustained principally by means of correspondence. Their letters--thousands of them--reveal the real nature of this complicated partnership. As edited through Candace Kant, the letters supply an engrossing portrait of an exceptionally unorthodox marriage and its times.
C'est pas une heure pour quitter une femme... s'effeuille comme une fleur qui, au comble de son épanouissement, offre, dans un ultime élan et rayonnant sursaut d'énergie, tout ce qu'elle a encore en elle de vie et de beauté… avant que les sens et les sensations commencent à s'émousser, avant que les contours et les couleurs s'estompent, avant que tout devienne fade et incolore, avant de s'étioler… en une vaine résistance contre l'inexorable.
Sombre par moments - automobile en filigrane transparaissent les signes de los angeles stérile noirceur de ce monde frénétique de folie, de souffrance, d'indifférence, de mépris, d'ignorance et de dédain, les symptômes d'une société se déshumanisant, adepte du paraître et de los angeles surconsommation, friande de kitch et de faux-semblant, où l'égocentrisme est de mise, où les sexes s'aliènent et où l'amour, le vrai, l'authentique, se meurt, laissant le champ libre à d'arides solitudes s'accroissant -, l'ensemble se révèle néanmoins au ultimate une ode incantatoire à l. a. joie, une célébration de los angeles vie, un hymne à l'amour. Que ma joie demeure ! Incantatoire, comme pour conjurer le malheur, le mal-être, le type qui s'acharne, pour ne pas perdre l. a. foi, pour garder intacte l. a. capacité de s'émerveiller de los angeles beauté du monde et continuer à croire en l'humain. Garder son âme, sa flamme… Envers et contre tout. Et éclairer les ténèbres.
Petit à petit une trame s'est dessinée. L'idée d'un recueil a germé, puis s'est imposée à mon esprit et l'œuvre a pris forme, comme une fleur, dont imperceptiblement les pétales s'étaient déployés…, un florilège exprimant mon ultime chant d'amour !
Je l'offre à ceux qui voudront voir et entendre et se donner l. a. peine de comprendre.


Shrek film Review Animation goes to a new ground-breaking level with the introduction of DreamWorks' film, which stars the voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and John Lithgow. After the previous disappointing Grinch dumped his greenbodied, obnoxious self into so many kids' un-amused laps, it's refreshing to see a new grass-coloured ogre who's actually charming. I can remember being completely exhilarated by Toy Story when it was released. I've seen Toy Story 2, Antz, and A Bug's Life. All were terrific in their own way. Enter Shrek, a spectacular fantasy that even takes things a step further. Some moments in this film are so life like; you'd swear you are watching a live action movie Shrek (voiced with a hilarious Scottish accent by Mike Myers) is actually an ogre that lives a rather secluded life. His life is plunged into turmoil when a barrage of fairy tale characters stampede his swampy home and make his life a living hell. ...read more.
It has the colourful animations for the young ones. At the start of the film when Shrek is sitting outside his house burping, wallowing in brown sludge and passing such noxious gas underwater that fish float to the surface is sure to make the children laugh. Donkey, a very amusing character is there for all the older viewers. He is not afraid of the ugly green ogre. He clearly shows this when Shrek screams at Donkey and Donkey shouts: "OOH if that scream doesn't scare people off that breath s-u-r-e will. M-A-N you need some Tic-Tac's." Although Shrek is green and he is meant to appeal as this horrible heartless character that every one is frightened of we learn that children find him a friend, a huge teddy bear that they can just cuddle up to. The more understanding viewers learn that you should not always judge a book by its cover. Eddy Murphy, now he is an actor of many different roles. ...read more.
As the film gradually moves on he becomes a more funny character and is a rather patient person to cope with Donkey. Mike Myers certainly kept the mood going with his constant moaning at Donkey and his mission to get his quite and lonely swamp back. Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) had a very sturdy character. Cameron Diaz did a good job as playing the weak voiced princess when she was locked up in the tower. Princess Fiona's glass shattering, high pitched voice she had performed when she was tuning to the bird was a very amusing part of the film. The audience got the feeling at first of just a normal happy, cheerful person but then a sudden change of mood when that bird had burst whilst doing a duet with Princess Fiona. For me I do not think that Lord Farquaad really had that much of a character. He was just a normal villain. John Lithgow did however this villain voice well. I just did not feel as though for a character he had a strong personality that stood out. Ferdousi Begum English Candidate no: 1225 Coursework Centre no: 10520 Ms Lindsay 1 ...read more.
Jo has already been convicted of drink driving but is keeping it from her mother. Jo is a stereotypical good girl, but Judy is more rebellious. After a night out they argue over who is to drive and Judy decides too because of Jo's previous conviction.
I think hat if the camera shots were not used effectively in the film, Shrek would not be successful as a character of as a film. The setting of Shrek is partly set in Shrek's dingy swamp - this is the traditional expectation of the audience towards an ogre.
third acts, it was hard for many audience members; particularly young children and the elderly to keep focused and listen to each minute detail. The performance as a whole was superb. Nasri's portrayal of Victor was excellent. His acting was top-notch.
times he would resort to common estuary English which at times wrecked the illusion of him being this well spoken, well turned out gentleman. Throughout the play he delivered key lines in a rather deadpan way and showed no emotion or feeling.
It was a little confusing when the characters suddenly changed to playing instruments and singing but I feel it worked well to create the feeling of how basic what the people had was. There were no "extras," you just had what you had and had to work with it.
reflect on their immaturity level and how their life consists of happiness, whereas the gun made a loud, agitated ?bang? noise when they older, perhaps this shows that all their happiness have been diluted due to the fact they?ve grown up and symbolises tough times in the character?s lives.

New gym still in works
April 2, 2007 12:00 am by Elizabeth M. Mack
The faculty of the Construction and Facilities planning department is promising that more construction is to come on the new gymnasium.
Staff members of the athletic department who work in Gaither Gym said the new gym should be in production because finances have already been given.
"I think the fact that we had the money to build two to three years ago, now we just need to find out whatever it is that needs to be done to get it started and finish it," said Alvin Hollins Jr., assistant athletic director for external affairs.
Other members have acknowledged that some work is being done, but they do not know why the construction has stopped.
"They moved some ground last year, but I'm not sure what the current holdups may be," said Earl Kitchings, director of athletic marketing. "From my perspective it just looks like it's on pause."
Staff members also fear this project might wind up like Bragg Stadium, meaning it will stay in phase one of construction for several years.
"I think if the next phase isn't started soon, they should just end the whole project, because it could be another Bragg Stadium situation, which has been in phase one for 25 years," Kitchings said.
The staff of the Construction and Facilities Management department offers assurance that there will be a new gymnasium in due time.
"Yes, we were a promised a new gym, and yes, we are going to get one," said Clarence Stallworth, associate vice president of Construction and Facility Planning.
The new facility is estimated to cost about $30 million and is scheduled to be completed in February 2009.
"We have to receive all construction dollars to start any actual production on the new facility," Stallworth said.
The University first received $1.5 million to fund the planning of the building, which takes at least 18 months, Stallworth said. Then it received $12.7 million in 2003-2004, $14.4 million in 2005-2006 and $2.8 million in 2007-2008. For the $30 million needed, $8.5 million is left.
Although money is still being requested, a design for the building is complete, so further work will begin on the production of the new facility.
"It takes time to design and time to build," said Charles Lewis III, director of construction operations. "Unfortunately for reasons beyond our control we didn't have an architect and design, but now we have all that completed."
"In the next two to three weeks earth work, putting utilities in, concrete and structural steel (framing) will be started," Lewis continued.
Some people suggest that the old gym should be used as a woman's facility.
"This facility is still going to be used after the new gym is built," Kitchings said. "I think with two gyms one can used for intramural sports and the other for basketball games, or one could be a men's facility and the other could be a woman's facility."
Administrators said the new facility will be a "teaching gym" for the physical education department to teach various courses.
It will also house concerts, convocations and graduation. It is expected to seat 9,000 people for a basketball game and 10,200 for graduation.
While production on the new gymnasium seems to be slow, students, faculty and alumni are being told that more recognizable production will be seen in the upcoming semester.
