Bear
necessities: Clinic in Dover to fix beloved 'stuffies' puts smiles on many
small faces
Foster's Daily
Democrat (Dover, N.H.): 11 August 2011
[What
follows is the full text of the news story.]
Aug. 11--DOVER -- Among a crowded waiting room,
4-year-old Kayli Root of Gonic waited patiently for her stuffed elephant to
come out of surgery. The oversized plush animal, appropriately named Elephant,
was being treated for a split seam on its nose.
After having been diagnosed by one of the
museum's staff members and prescribed immediate surgery, Elephant made his way
into the hands of museum staff member Erin Parnell for stitches.
"All better!" exclaimed Parnell as she
handed the stuffed animal back to Kayli. "He should recover just fine, but
make sure you take good care of him."
More than 500 stuffed animals arrived at the
Children's Museum of New Hampshire Wednesday morning for the annual Teddy Bear
Clinic. With doctors and nurses on hand from practices affiliated with
Portsmouth Regional Hospital, no wound or medical concern was too big for the
experienced professionals to handle.
Teddy bears, rabbits, dogs, cats, whales, sharks,
frogs and baby dolls -- no plush companion was turned away.
Laid out on examination tables, volunteers
worked meticulously to diagnose the animal's condition. Dr. Karen Palmer of
Woodbury Family Practice used a stethoscope to listen to the heartbeat for
Andrew Byrne's neon orange teddy bear.
The bear, named Cutie, also underwent a reflexes
test after 4-year-old Andrew of Nashua helped Palmer check its ears with an
otoscope. Next, Andrew helped Cutie open its mouth to say "ahh" as
Palmer used a tongue compressor.
"I can see you're taking very good care of
him," Palmer told Andrew.
Before Cutie could be dismissed, however, Palmer
suggested the 4-year-old's cuddly friend receive a flu shot. Having been all
smiles throughout the examination process, Andrew's smile went flat as he shook
his head in fear for Cutie.
"I promise it won't hurt," said
Palmer, asking Andrew to help her.
As the two worked together to give Cutie a
pretend flu shot on his little orange leg, Andrew's smile came flooding back.
Aside from repairing and caring for the slew of
stuffed animals that came through the museum's doors on Wednesday, Executive
Director Justine Roberts said the Teddy Bear Clinic provided children with the
opportunity to be the nurturers for a change.
"It also helps children who may be afraid
of visiting the doctor, allowing them to build a relationship with the nurses
and doctors," Roberts said.
After
receiving good status reports from the physicians on hand, children brought
their stuffed companions to the opposite side of the museum for a Tea Party
Picnic. Stitched and bandaged, stuffed animals were treated for their good
health reports with good food and good company.
Representatives
of Londonderry-based Stonyfield Farm were on hand, offering children samples of
their organic milk and cookie products. Fiddlehead Farms Marketplace also
contributed to the day of fun, providing fresh watermelon for the picnic party.
One
of the more appropriately themed snacks, however? A giant bowl of teddy bear
shaped cookies.

A TEDDY bears' picnic will be held at a beauty
spot later this month.
Children are invited to bring their favourite
bears along to the picnic, held at Parrot's Drumble nature reserve in Talke
Pits, on Wednesday, August 31, between 11.30am and 2pm. Organisers will read
stories and lead games for the children.
Parrot's Drumble is located close to Freeport
Talke shopping centre.
It is run by the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
and besides streams, woodlands and carvings, it boasts a large display of
bluebells during the spring.
The reserve takes its name from a combination of
its previous owners, the Parrot family, and a local term for a stream running
through a wooded valley, drumble.
To book a place on the teddy bears' picnic,
telephone 01889 880100.
Saints
prospect aids U.S. victory
Telegraph-Herald (Dubuque, IA):
11 August 2011
[What
follows is the full text of the news story.]
Dubuque Fighting Saints prospect Teddy Doherty
assisted on two goals in the final 2:06 of regulation to help USA Hockey force
overtime Wednesday in its final pool play game of the Ivan Hlinka Memorial
Under-18 Tournament in Piestany, Slovakia.
The Americans eventually won in a shootout to
finish pool play with a 2-1 record. They finished third in their pool because
they needed overtime to win both.
Team USA will face the Czech Republic on Friday
in the fifth- place game. In an exhibition game Saturday, the Americans beat
the Czechs, 5-3.
Daniel O'Regan, another Saints prospect, tallied
an assist in Wednesday's game. He was named USA's player of the game Tuesday in
a 5-4 overtime victory against Russia.
Also at the Hlinka Tournament, Team Canada
blitzed Switzerland, 6- 0, in Breclav, Czech Republic, to finish second in its
pool and earn a berth in Friday's semifinal round against Russia. The Canadian
squad features future Saints defenseman Mike Matheson.
Finland will face Sweden in the other semifinal.
Meanwhile, at the U-17 Five Nations Tournament
in Ann Arbor, Mich., The United States skated to a 4-2 victory over Germany to
improve to 2-0 in the event. A pair of future Saints, Mike Downing and Garrett
Cecere, are playing for the Americans. Downing, Team USA's captain, took a
minor penalty late in Wednesday's game.
Probe Airline Firms' Non-Payment of OT
Pay of BOC Personnel – Solon
Targeted News Service: 11 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the
news story.]
PASAY CITY, Philippines, Aug. 11 -- The
Philippines House of Representatives (15th Congress) issued the following news
release:
Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casino has asked the House
Committee on Labor and Employment to look into the non-compliance of airline
companies to pay overtime compensation for Bureau of Customs employees at the
Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
In House Resolution 1467, Casino said the House
panel should investigate the complaints of the almost 800 BOC employees in NAIA
who are forced to work 20-hour shifts every other day without overtime pay.
"I urge Congress to pursue remedies to
resolve the dispute, and provide human working conditions and compensation for
the BOC employees, given the many years that they have suffered long working
hours and low overtime pay," Casino said.
In pushing for the probe, Casino said "it is
an international practice among airlines to pay government fees for customs,
immigration and quarantine services."
Casino cited the United States' Air/Sea
Passenger User Fees, payment or remittance of which is a responsibility of the
air or sea carrier and other parties.
"Another is Australia's Passenger Movement
Charge introduced in 1995 to recover costs of providing customs, immigration
and quarantine services which arrangements show airline responsibility over
payment of customs services and the like," Casino said.
Casino said Section 3506 of the Tariff and
Customs Code of the Philippines or Republic Act1937 states that Customs
employees may be assigned by a Collector to do overtime work at rates fixed by
the Commissioner, when the service rendered is to be paid for by importers,
shippers or other person served.
This provision was the basis for Customs
Administrative Order No. 7-92 entitled "Rules and Regulations Governing
the Overtime Pay and Other Compensations related thereto due to Customs
Personnel at the NAIA" which pegged overtime pay rates for collectors,
supervisors, inspectors, clerks, guards and other personnel of BOC-NAIA,
payable by airline companies, aircraft owners/operators, importers, exporters
and others, Casino said.
Anakpawis Rep. Rafael Mariano, co-author of the
Resolution, said in 2005, the Board of Airlines Representatives (BAR), then
headed by the Philippine Airlines, questioned the increase on the basis of
publication requirements and the basis of the rate increase.
BAR's move was rejected by the Department of
Finance (DOF) and the Office of the President (OP).
"However, their petition -- (CA-G.R. SP NO.
103250 Board of Airline Representatives versus Office of the President
represented by Hon. Eduardo Ermita as Executive Secretary, Department of
Finance) -- filed at the Court of Appeals (CA) was granted in 2009 with the
Court declaring the CAO 7-92 and CAO 1-2005 are unenforceable on the basis that
Section 3506 of RA 1937 does not specify airline companies and aircraft owners
as among those to give overtime pay," Mariano said.
Mariano also said Section 1103 of the RA 1937
clearly stated that "Except in the case of forced landings, aircraft
arriving in the Philippines from any foreign port or place shall make the first
landing at an international airport, unless permission to land elsewhere than
at an international airport is first obtained from the Commissioner and in such
cases the owner or person in charge of the aircraft shall pay the expenses, if
any, incurred in inspecting the craft, articles, passengers and baggage carried
therein, and such aircraft shall be subject to the authority of the Collector
at the airport while within his jurisdiction."
"According to the Bureau of Customs
Employees Association (BOCEA), since the decision, some of the airlines
reverted back to the old rates while many did not give overtime compensation at
all," Mariano said.

FBC Louisville Media Day
Associated Press: 10 August 2011

news story.]
Louisville coach: QB position a 'question mark'
Eds: Updates with quotes, details and
background.
AP Photo KYER101
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) _ Louisville coach Charlie
Strong called the quarterback position a "question mark," though he
added that junior Will Stein is the early leader at the position.
Stein, a 5-10 former walk-on who appeared in two
games last year and started twice in his first season, is competing with true
freshman Teddy Bridgewater for the starting signal caller job. Dominique Brown
is expected to be third on the quarterback depth chart.
"If we had to start today, Will Stein would
walk out as our starter," Strong said. "Teddy and Dominique are still
learning."
Bridgewater enrolled in classes in January,
which allowed him to participate in spring practice, but Stein's experience in
the program is key as Strong emphasized the need for leadership from the
position.
"Somebody's gotta step up and go lead this
football team. The quarterback position is so critical because you when you
talk about leadership within your program, players are always looking to the
quarterback."
Louisville offensive coordinator Mike Sanford
said both players would play but that their playing time will be determined by
their performance on the practice field. Bridgewater returned to practice today
after missing the past two days with shoulder soreness.
Quarterbacks Adam Froman and Justin Burke were
two of the 25 seniors lost from last year's 7-6 team that netted Big East coach
of the year honors for Strong in his first season. The Cardinals are picked to
finish seventh in the eight-team Big East in the league's preseason media poll.
Strong also mentioned the defensive line and his
wide receiving corps as areas of team strength, with the cornerback as the
position of most concern. Louisville opens their season at home on Sept. 1
against Murray State.
Could IU QB battle lead to rotation?
News-Sentinel (Fort Wayne, IN): 10 August 2011
[What
follows is the full text of the news story.]
Aug. 10--BLOOMINGTON -- Rod Smith had seen
enough. Passes zipped wide, long and short. Too many hit the ground rather than
receivers' hands, and that left Indiana's quarterbacks coach pacing the
practice field.
"That's ridiculous," he shouted.
"Come on, pick it up!"
Yes, it was just the Hoosiers' second preseason
practice, and you wouldn't expect to see midseason sharpness, but when
quarterbacks can't complete passes to undefended receivers (defensive backs
were on another field), that's a problem. Smith's job is to fix it.
So he focused on every throw Dusty Kiel, Edward
Wright-Baker, Adam Follett, Teddy Schell and Tre Roberson made Tuesday evening,
pushing when necessary, praising when prudent.
Want clarity in the quarterback situation? Wait
your turn. All options are open in Kevin Wilson's head coaching debut football
season.
Yes, that might even mean a quarterback
rotation.
"I'm not averse to playing two
quarterbacks," Wilson said.
Maybe Kiel starts. Maybe it's Wright-Baker. The
redshirt sophomores are the only ones with college experience, which makes them
slight favorites. Roberson, the heralded freshman, has a shot if he can master
the offense and read college defenses. Wilson insists Follett and Schell are
still in the mix, although their prospects appear as bleak as Greece's economy.
The Hoosiers are gearing up for the season
opener vs. Ball State on Sept. 3. Two-a-days are looming, scrimmages are coming
and competition makes every snap count in this quarterback battle royale.
"We don't have a timeline," Wilson
said at Tuesday's media day. "We'll go through the first week and as a
staff discuss where we think they are. I don't anticipate having a daily
update."
Smith, who is also the co-offensive coordinator,
said there's no rush to name a starter.
"It's after you start getting through some
scrimmages, toward the end of camp and see who's separated himself," he
said. "Who can make plays and take care of the football. Who's got the
positive energy going and who can be a driving force. Whoever is doing that;
we're going to know. It's going to take some live situations. Whether it's
after the first scrimmage, I can't tell you that. It might be the day before
the first game. We'll know as a staff and make a decision then.
"In the end, I don't think you have to say,
this is our guy. They have to earn that. They've got to go through camp and
earn it."
Wilson has always been a one-quarterback coach,
but he's always had one player emerge. This situation could be different.
Kiel's college stats (4-for-17 for 71 yards, no touchdowns and two
interceptions) are comparable to Wright-Baker's (5-for-12 for 80 yards, one
touchdown, one interception). Kiel seemed to have a slight edge coming out of
spring practice, but no one earned a No. 1 status.
"I've always been of the mindset if you
have two quarterbacks it means you don't have one," Wilson said, "but
I don't know if that means anything here. Sometimes you have two good ones. I
don't want a guy looking over his shoulder so one bad practice or game and he's
worried somebody will take his spot."
Wilson said the difficulty with a rotation comes
if one quarterback is more of a thrower and one more of a runner, so you use
two different offensive styles.
"We want to philosophically stay
similar."
Smith has dealt with QB rotations in the past,
most recently at Michigan where Denard Robinson and Tage Forcier battled.
Robinson eventually won and is a Heisman Trophy candidate as a dual-threat
player.
"You can do it," Smith said, "but
it's got to fit the right situation at the right time with the right game plan.
Would you like to have one guy separate himself? Yeah, obviously. But if you
have a couple of guys who are good enough to play, you have a great situation.
If a guy gets dinged up, the other guy goes in and you don't miss a beat. We're
in a good situation."
As far as Roberson, the Indiana Mr. Football
from Indianapolis Lawrence Central spent the second half of the summer working
with his teammates. He looked solid in the brief period the media was allowed
to see practice Tuesday.
While Roberson has a lot to learn, Smith said,
talent is there.
"He was swimming a little bit out there,
but I tell you what, the kid can make some plays."
Senior receiver Damarlo Belcher said all the
quarterbacks have worked hard and looked good. The ex-North Side standout said
there isn't any friction between them despite competition.
"I don't care who gets the job. As long as
they can throw the ball to us, it's fine. Coach has made a big deal about it
that we won't be good if they're not good."

IT
speaks only 33 words in Gaelic but a new educational teddy bear is to cost the
taxpayer a staggering [pounds sterling]20,000.
The
foot-tall soft toy has been produced to help teach toddlers and children the
Gaelic words for colours, numbers and shapes.
The
project is being funded by quango Bord na Gaidhlig, which has awarded a [pounds
sterling]20,000 grant to children's publisher Acair Ltd, based at Stornoway on
the isle of Lewis, to develop the toy.
But
critics have questioned the use of public money for the teddy - especially when
only 1.9 per cent of the population speaks Gaelic.
Emma
Boon, the campaign director of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: 'If manufacturers
think a Gaelic-speaking teddy bear is a good idea then they should put their
own money where their mouth is, not tap up taxpayers for the investment.
Shoddy
business proposals shouldn't be propped up with government grants.
'Businesses
can do well in tough times with hard work and a good product.
'Taxpayers
shouldn't have to see their money frittered away like this.' Acair chief
executive Agnes Rennie said: 'We are looking forward to getting the
Gaelicspeaking teddy out into the shops in time for Christmas.
'The
words are all common words for numbers, colours and shapes and will be as
useful to parents as they will be fun for children.' Mary MacMillan, head of
education and learning at Bord na Gaidhlig, said: 'We are delighted to assist
Acair in creating this new interactive toy.'

THE Irish-speaking teddy
bear BB is set to do for our language what Dora the Explorer did for Spanish.
The world's first
Gaeilgeoir teddy bear, which has sold tens of thousands since being unveiled in
the Irish Daily Mail last year, is to get its own TV show, and now Disney is
showing an interest. It could make stars of some of the country's fluent
Irish-speaking children.
Bear Town could hit the
small screen on TG4 as soon as October and if the pilot is successful, it will
become the first Irish-speaking cartoon to help children learn our mother
tongue.
The creator of the cartoon
is Adrian Devane from Moycullen, Co. Galway, whose talking bear BB uses the
voice of his four-year-old daughter, Robyn.
He described the move to TV
as 'the next step', after more than 25,000 bears were sold in Ireland, Australia,
Canada, China, the U.S. and all across Europe. The show will follow the tales
of BB and friends as they tackle problems and childhood issues in Irish. Mr
Devane, 36, believes the series could even rival popular children's show Peppa
Pig. 'It's very exciting. We have the pilot for the first episode and if that's
successful we will get our first series,' he said.
Mr Devane, who is in Los
Angeles with TV executives from Disney, is hoping the show could be picked up
by U.S. film and TV giants.
He also plans to bring out
an English-speaking bear, and Welsh and Scots Gaelic versions before Christmas.
The job of voicing BB and other characters is open. They are looking for fluent
Irish speakers with broader vocabulary than Robyn.

Talking teddy that
made as Gaeilge child's play gets his own TV show
The Daily Mail
(London, England)
28 April 2011
By Nick Bramhill
[What
follows is the full text of the article.]
HE
makes an unlikely figurehead for a new Gaelic revival but BB the Irish-speaking
bear has found his way into 20,000 homes around the world - and he is about to
make the leap into television.
The
cuddly toy was created by Adrian Devane, 36, when he realised there were dozens
of talking toys on the market but none with a cupla focal.
In
just six months, 20,000 of them have been sold, including 4,500 outside
Ireland, and now Mr Devane is working on an animated version.
BB
is to star in a programme called BearTown, which could be screened on TG4 if
the pilot show gets the thumbs up. 'At this stage we're writing stories and
doing background animation with the aim of releasing a pilot in August,' said
Mr Devane, who has 12 years' experience in the film industry, including the
production of a number of large-scale feature films for Disney.
He
is confident the show, which he is working on with an animation company in
Dublin, could even take on toddlers' favourite Peppa Pig.
'I
have huge worldwide aspirations for this and really believe it has the
potential to be as big as Peppa Pig, which is now one of the biggest children's
brands in the world,' he said. 'The success story of Peppa Pig is one of the
main things that has driven me to give this a go, and like that series there
will be more than one character in BearTown. Along with BB, I want to introduce
a few friends and the bear's owner. I would also like to go to Cannes [Film
Festival] with it and try and sell it over there.' BB is to remain
Irish-speaking in the TV show but Mr Devane admits that, if the demand is
there, the programmes could be dubbed into other languages, including English.
The
married father of two, who lives in Moycullen, Co. Galway, says he is
flabbergasted at the worldwide success of BB, saying: 'It's doubled my
expectations.' His firm, Babogbaby, plans to make his teidi multi-lingual by
bringing out an Englishspeaking bear and even Welsh and Scots Gaelic versions
before Christmas. After that, he plans to introduce major continental languages
such as French, German, Italian and Spanish.
'Obviously
an English-speaking BB has huge potential, because it will have a market in the
whole of the English-speaking world and stores in the UK have already shown a
huge interest in it,' he said. 'I'll look at other languages after that.
'I'm
delighted with how things have gone. We've sold 20,000 units in the six months
we've been in operation, including 4,500 outside Ireland, in countries like the
U.S., Australia, Canada and parts of Europe.
'I
think a lot of the new emigrants leaving Ireland must be buying it for their
kids.' The bear, which is produced in China, features the voice of Mr Devane's
four-year-old daughter Robyn reading 33 words for numbers, colours and shapes
as Gaeilge. BB costs [euro]29.99.

Teddy's familyhelping others
Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
09 April 2011
By Madhu Krishnamurthy mkrishnamurthy@dailyherald.com
[What follows is the full
text of the article.]
Jenny and Brad Christiansen
know without the help of an anonymous, 45-year-old female bone marrow donor,
their son, Teddy, might not be alive today.
For the Union couple
originally from Des Plaines, finding that perfect bone marrow donor match for
Teddy was a miracle.
Now the Christiansens are
asking others to be the miracle for children like Teddy by joining the National
Marrow Donor Program.
The family is participating
in today's Red Shoe Run for Donor Awareness 5K and fitness walk in Rockford to
raise funds for the Be The Match Marrow Registry.
The run begins at 8 a.m.
Proceeds from the event will help pay for the cost of tissue-typing for people
interested in joining the registry.
"Our whole family is
going to be there, and we're all going to do it, and we're going to have Teddy
walk at the end," Jenny Mukahirn Christiansen said. "We're so
grateful for what we have. It gives people hope, and it's needed for so many
people, to read success stories."
The Christiansens also are
accepting donations through
the Teddy Christiansen Foundation to help get more people on the marrow
registry. Donations may be sent to P.O. Box 401, Huntley, IL 60142.
Teddy, who suffers from a
rare genetic disorder dyskeratosis congenita
that causes bone marrow
failure, underwent an invasive bone marrow transplant Nov. 6, 2009.
The surviving half of
prematurely born twins, Teddy was diagnosed with a rare variant of the
disorder, Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome, which could lead to leukemia or solid
organ cancer.
His transplant involved
killing off his own bone marrow through chemotherapy and radiation and dripping
stem cells extracted from the donor into his body. He was kept in isolation for
19 days and received blood transfusions for weeks until his blood counts
improved.
The stem cells are growing
and Teddy's own diseased bone marrow cells have not re-emerged. He is doing so
well that it's been more than a month since he saw a doctor, Jenny Christiansen
said.
"He's just being
monitored right now. He's off all his medications, as far as his
transplant-related stuff," she said.
Teddy, who is now 4 1/2
years old, goes to preschool in Huntley five days a week and has started swim
lessons through the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association.
"For the first time,
he has been able to do something extracurricular, outside of the home,"
Jenny Christiansen said. "We were never able to put him in any kind of
program or outdoor activities."

about Teddy, visit caringbridge.org/visit/teddychristiansen/journal.

8 a.m. in Rockford

Oragenics, Inc. to Showcase Teddy's Pride Oral Care
Probiotics At The 2011 Global Pet Expo
Wireless News
09 March 2011
[What follows is the full text of the article.]
Florida-based
biopharmaceutical company Oragenics, Inc., announced it will be exhibiting the
company's Teddy's Pride oral care probiotics for cats and dogs at the Global
Pet Expo, a trade show for pet retailers, in Orlando, Fla., March 16-18.
The Company said ProBiora3,
the active ingredient in Teddy's Pride, was developed by Oragenics' Chief
Scientific Officer, Dr. Jeffrey D. Hillman, D.M.D., Ph.D., during more than 25
years of research which began at the Harvard-affiliated Forsyth Institute in
Boston and continued at the University of Florida. This technology has only
recently become available to the general public in Teddy's Pride, along with a
line of oral care probiotic products for the entire family. The ProBiora3 blend
of beneficial bacteria contains three strains of probiotics that help maintain
a healthy microbial balance in the mouth. ProBiora3 is made in the USA in an
FDA-registered facility. All ProBiora3-containing products are 100 percent
natural.
Oragenics noted that
Teddy's Pride oral care probiotics are specifically formulated for cats and
dogs of all sizes and ages. Teddy's Pride kills harmful, bad-breath causing
bacteria and adds the beneficial bacteria that naturally thrive in the mouth.
This new oral care product naturally freshens pets' breath while gently and
naturally whitening teeth.
According to the American
Pet Product Association, the pet industry is one of the few that has
consistently experienced growth for the past several years. Teddy's Pride is an
addition to the $47 billion dollar pet industry. It is an oral care product for
the 71.4 million US households that own a pet.
"The Global Pet Expo
is a wonderful place to meet with fellow American Pet Products Association
members and pet industry experts, " said Gerry David, Executive Vice
President, Sales and Marketing for Oragenics. "Attracting thousands of pet
professionals from all over the world, Global Pet Expo is an ideal place to
exhibit this unique product for dogs and cats."
