Managing Beef Cattle for Show

There’s a lot you need to know if you’re going to raise beef cattle to exhibit at shows. Your first job is to decide what kind of beef project you want to undertake. There are four types of beef projects to consider: ✦ Haltered market steers ✦ Haltered breeding heifers ✦ Commercial steers ✦ Commercial heifers. Of those, haltered show steers and heifers demand the most time, expense and work. This publication will focus mainly on these projects, with some references to commercial projects

Georgia\u27s Telemedicine Laws and Regulations: Protecting Against Health Care Access

Georgia currently ranks 44th in the nation in terms of patient access to physicians. Roughly 52% of Georgia\u27s physicians are located in five areas that serve just 38% of the state\u27s population. However, technological advancements present opportunities to bridge the gap between physicians willing to treat patients through non-traditional means and patients simply wanting access to physicians. Telemedicine, sometimes referred to as telehealth, is generally known as the use of audio, video, and other types of data communication to exchange medical information from one site to another to connect healthcare professionals with patients. While telemedicine can extend patient access to health care across state lines, particularly to patients in rural areas where medical care is often sparse, many states, including Georgia, currently maintain restrictive regulations and standards on telemedicine that inhibit its growth. ... Based on the unique nature of telemedicine, this Comment addresses the need for Georgia to adopt the FSMB Compact, loosen the rigid requirements for the establishment of a physician-patient relationship prior to a telemedicine encounter, and for Georgia to adopt a separate national standard of care for telemedicine. First, the background section provides an overview of telemedicine, Georgia\u27s current laws and regulations governing the use of telemedicine, and problems presented by these laws and regulations. Next, these problems are assessed in the analysis section, followed by a conclusion that Georgia should adopt the Compact, loosen the rigid burden for establishing the physician-patient relationship prior to a telemedicine encounter, and adopt a separate national standard of care for services provided through telemedicine

Trial Practice and Procedure

The 2017 survey period yielded noteworthy decisions relating to federal trial practice and procedure in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, several of which involved issues of first impression. This Article analyzes recent developments in the Eleventh Circuit, including significant rulings in the areas of civil procedure, statutory interpretation, and federal subject-matter jurisdiction

Qualitative effects of fresh and dried plum ingredients on vacuum-packaged, sliced hams

Boneless ham muscles (Semimembranosus + Adductor) were injected (20% w/w) with a curing brine containing no plum ingredient (control), fresh plum juice concentrate (FP), dried plum juice concentrate (DP), or spray dried plum powder (PP) at 2.5% or 5%. Hams were cooked, vacuum-packaged, stored at \u3c4 °C and evaluated at 2-week intervals over 10 week. Evaluations were performed on sliced product to determine cook loss, vacuum-package purge, Allo-Kramer shear force, 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), proximate analysis, objective color, sensory panel color and sensory attributes. FP, DP and 2.5% PP increased (P \u3c 0.05) cook loss by 2% to 7% depending on treatment and level, but the highest cook loss (17.7%) was observed in hams with 5% PP. Shear force values increased as the level of plum ingredient increased (P \u3c 0.05) from 2.5% to 5%, and the highest shear values were observed in hams containing 5% FP. There were no differences (P \u3e 0.05) in lipid oxidation among treatments as determined by TBARS and sensory evaluation. FP and PP ham color was similar to the control, but DP had a more intense atypical color of cured ham. Minimal changes in physical, chemical and sensory properties were observed during storage of all treatments. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Antioxidant properties of plum concentrates and powder in precooked roast beef to reduce lipid oxidation

Boneless beef roasts (Semimembranosus + Adductor) were injected (20%) with a brine containing (1) no plum ingredient (control), (2) 2.5 or 5% fresh plum juice concentrate (FP), (3) 2.5 or 5% dried plum juice concentrate (DP), or (4) 2.5 or 5% spray dried plum powder (PP). Whole roasts were cooked, vacuum-packaged and stored at \u3c4.0 °C for 10 wk. At 2 wk intervals, evaluations were performed on sliced product to determine vacuum-packaged purge, Allo-Kramer shear force, lipid oxidation (TBARS), color space values, and sensory attributes. All plum ingredients reduced TBARS values and had minimal effects on tenderness, sensory characteristics, color and appearance. Small changes in purge, color values, TBARS and some sensory properties were found during storage. These results indicate that 2.5% FP or DP could be incorporated into precooked beef roasts to reduce lipid oxidation and potentially, warmed-over flavor (WOF). © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
