Texas Instruments TI83 Graphing Calculator
Texas Instruments TI83 Graphing Calculator
Product Description
Perhaps if we'd had this calculator in high school we would have done much better in trigonometry. The Texas Instruments TI-83 is an ideal unit for any math student, combining powerful features for graphing and statistical analysis. The LCD screen displays 16 characters over 8 lines. Though the TI-83's keyboard layout might seem daunting to those who've never laid eyes on a graphic calculator before, the helpful, if intimidatingly thick, manual will get you up and running quickly. The TI-83 includes function, parametric and polar, and sequence plot modes. You can store, graph, and analyze up to 10 functions, 6 parametric and polar functions, and 3 sequence functions. The TI-83's Draw operations allow you to annotate graphs. Along with the advanced math and science features, the TI-83 also includes such financial functions as cash flow, amortization, and time value of money. The included input-output cable lets you link the TI-83 with another TI-83 or a TI-82 for data sharing, and the optional TI-Graph Link software lets you transfer files to a PC.

While we were hoping to gain some insight at the trial as to why this happened to Mona and her herdmates, we can now put this behind us and focus on the future.

TREES' Cushings Club
I just realized we frequently talk about our Cushings Club, but we've never really told you who the members are. The official membership stands at six, but last summer's testing revealed two more may be at the jumping off point. As we mentioned a few days ago, our new arrival, Sherman, looks pretty suspicious as well. Not long ago, a diagnosis of "Cushings Disease," now known as PPID (Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction,) was viewed by many as a death sentence. Not any more!
And so, without further ado...........The Traveller's Rest Equine Elders Sanctuary Cushings Club:
Nate, mid 30's
Freddy, 26
Wade, 26
Sonny, 38
Josh, late 30's?
Henry, 25
Interestingly, all are geldings. All are managed with pergolide and a carefully controlled diet (thank to all of our visitors for being very understanding about our "No Treats" policy,) and all are retested each year with pergolide dosages adjusted accordingly.

Infected teeth & Infected sinuses
We've seen it often enough here. Discharge out of one nostril. Treatment with antibiotics helps, but the infection returns in a week or two. Hello, Dentist?
According to the abstract of this paper on Sinus Surgery in the Horse, "the most common cause of sinus infection is extension of infection from a diseased tooth or as an aftermath to tooth repulsion."
Long story very short........if your horse has a persistent or recurring nasal discharge, think "teeth." To see just how little barrier there is between tooth root and sinus, visit http://www.hanne.com/teeth-photos.htm and click on the fourth photo from the top. Its easy to see how an infection in a tooth root can move into the sinus right next to it.
