Ubuntu 12.04 ("Precise Pangolin")


What the heck is a pangolin?? With the latest edition of Canonical's popular free Linux distribution, Ubuntu, that's the biggest unanswered question.? It seems fair to assume that version 12.04 of the software has been nicknamed "Precise Pangolin" in tribute to the tropical mammal of Africa and Asia because of the hardened scales that cover its body. (Think of it as something like an armored anteater?which we assume Canonical would have considered as a nickname, were it working from the beginning of the alphabet.) The company may be sending the message that this operating system is safe, secure, and ready for anything?exactly the point of a Long-Term Support (LTS) release. If that is indeed the case, the appellation makes sense. And so does 12.04 itself, which, despite being behind a protective barrier, takes a few tentative?and welcome?steps toward additional innovation.

I suspect that those steps are as intended to be as much a broader play toward the enterprise market as a tip of the hat to 12.04's LTS status.? If this is going to be the "default" Ubuntu for a full two years, and Canonical is planning to support it for up to three years beyond that (an increase over previous LTS releases), everything should be usable and right?and, should there be an influx of users from other operating systems, it's even more important.? So 12.04 is less about placating hard-core Linux lovers (who might not have come around to Unity yet) and put everyday folks at ease by giving them more of the options other bigger and more expensive operating systems have led them to expect.

Unity UI Updates
Precise Pangolin doubles down on Unity, the next-generation user interface designed to work equally well on desktops, laptops, netbooks, and tablets that has defined Ubuntu for better or worse for the last year and a half (since the 10.10 Netbook Edition).? Much as Microsoft is digging in its heels with Windows 8, so is Canonical with Unity.? Yet every new Ubuntu release receives some minor tweak that plays with the formula a bit, trying to find the ideal blend of appearance and usability.? I like Unity more than a lot of people do, so I don't need much, but there have been three key advances to it this time around that everyone is likely to find welcome and useful.? They also show that Canonical isn't resting on its laurels when it comes to attracting new users.

First is the Heads-Up Display, or HUD. It implements a typable search interface very much along the lines of what you get in Windows 7 if you hit the Windows key and then start typing.? Here, press the Alt key, type the first few characters of what you're looking for, and Ubuntu will display a semi-transparent list of all the programs, files, and so on that match.? It's not only the natural evolution of the Dash that's been an integral part of Unity since the beginning, but it's also valuable for serious typists or die-hard command liners (many of whom probably use, or are at least familiar with, Linux already) who believe they can work faster without a mouse. My explorations with 12.04 have forced me to side with them; it looks like there are still a few oddities to iron out with the HUD (it didn't always display things I knew it should find, even when I typed what I considered the most sensible keyword), but it's already difficult to imagine how Ubuntu got along without the HUD.? It won't speed up everyone's computing experience, but power users will definitely benefit from it.

Then there are Nautilus Quicklists. By right-clicking on icons on the desktop Launch bar, you receive a short menu of options that list the various additional ways you may interact with that program.? If you've seen or used Jump Lists in Windows 7, you'll understand the basic idea here; they represent a potentially major increase in usability for the applications that take advantage of them.? You won't necessarily see a ton of choices in each one, at least at this point (the included LibreOffice suite, for example, uses practically none), but the ones that do exist help you supercharge Ubuntu by doing a lot more with a lot less clicking.

Last but not least of the big three changes is the new video lens. Just as previous lenses in the Dash made it easy to search for things like files and music, so does this one simplify the process of tracking down videos?and it doesn't just search your PC, it can also draw results from major websites like YouTube.? The video lens, like the HUD and Quicklists, represents an amplified recognition of the way people use their computers today, and many users?particularly beginners (or Microsoft crossovers?)?will undoubtedly appreciate having so many options at their disposal.

Pangolin Performance
Those are the biggest technical changes in 12.04, and they're more than enough?but Canonical has made a few other adjustments as well.? Perhaps the most astonishing is the increase in performance:? In our testing 12.04 was noticeably faster than 11.10 ("Oneiric Ocelot") in terms of navigation, opening programs, and booting. In my tests, the latest version of Ubuntu started up several seconds more quickly?a very impressive improvement.?

The Software Center, for downloading and buying programs to use in Ubuntu, now allows PayPal transactions, personalized recommendations, and sharing software with friends (through use of Web Directory), and it automatically installs language support packages. The System Settings window has received a couple of updates, and it's easier to find configuration options in there now?including Appearance (replacing User Interface) for swapping out the OS's default theme.? Banshee, the default music player in 11.10, has been replaced with Rhythmbox, though you can of course change it (as you can with everything in Ubuntu).

With Ubuntu 12.04, Canonical has shown itself to be unusually cagey. As Microsoft pushes itself (and its users) toward Windows 8 and away from the traditional style of desktop interaction it's helped foster over the last 25 years, Canonical is continually in the process of making its software more like what Microsoft used to make?all while still acknowledging (with its bet-the-farm reliance on Unity) that the computer world is evolving.? In fact, 12.04 seems to be as much about Windows 8 (and its potential refugees) as it is about Ubuntu, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the next incarnation of the OS (12.10, which will arrive in October) pushes this aspect even more forcefully.? I'm not positive that Ubuntu is yet the one-to-one Windows replacement it's obviously aspiring to be, but 12.04 comes tantalizingly close to the mark.? Whether the gamble will pay off remains to be seen, but it's obvious that this pangolin isn't just precise?it's also incredibly prudent.

Verizon doubles FiOS speeds to 300Mbps, thumb-twiddling waits are officially over

Image

Verizon's IP network traffic jam apparently wasn't that much of an issue, since it just kicked up the speeds for FiOS service by a notch... or ten. Unless you're a spendthrift sticking to the base 15Mbps plan, download speeds have more than doubled across the board -- including to an eye-watering 300Mbps if you opt for the costliest plan. Upload speeds aren't advancing quite so quickly, although those who spring for the two highest tiers will see their upload speeds crack 65Mbps. The fiber speed-up is being attributed to a flood of Internet video and cloud backups, both of which get downright reasonable at 300Mbps; Verizon figures that both a 2-hour HD movie download and a 10GB backup will finish in 22 minutes or less. Whether or not pricing will have changed will have to wait until the speed upgrades take effect in June. Somehow, we can't imagine a drop anytime soon in the $200 monthly outlay for the top tier.

Verizon doubles FiOS speeds to 300Mbps, thumb-twiddling waits are officially over originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 30 May 2012 11:17:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Neelam Chhiber: Creative Asia

South and East Asian nations have a huge potential to strengthen their ties through shared values.

Key among these values are the strong links each country has with their traditional and culture-based industries. It is unfortunate, however, that the inherent innovation available within the creative industries sector in the region has not been fully tapped. In close cooperation, each country has an enormous amount to share with the other; each country can learn from the other.

We as a region need to define our shared values. Peace, tolerance, cultural understanding and social progress are parts of the foundation to build on. And to that I would add trade. Traditionally, trade has been the route to build shared values. But huge trade imbalances have encouraged exploitation and have taken away from the positive side of trade. If balance is maintained, trade may still be the best way to bind the region.

In East Asia, we should look to the future rather than to the past. We are a young region, we are tech savvy and, we have the huge collective force of information via the Internet. We should brainstorm with our young population and extract the most significant attributes of each country and create binding brands for the future which future generations can share, talk and build around.

Within the region, we share half of the world's consumers. I am sure we hold more than half of the world's creative industrial workforce too. This includes our films, our popular culture, our food, our fashion and our artisans producing wonderful objects that each of us would love to buy from the other. Design, modernization, innovation and sustainability play a huge role in this. As such, we should debate shared platforms to achieve synergy and have maximum impact on social progress so all can benefit - producer communities and our growing population of consumers.

Halt Italian soccer for 2-3 years?

By VICTOR SIMPSON

Associated Press

Associated Press Sports

updated 11:22 a.m. ET May 29, 2012

ROME (AP) -Premier Mario Monti suggested Tuesday that Italian football should be suspended for two to three years after the latest match-fixing scandal rocked the national team and tarnished the image of the domestic game yet again just a week before the start of the European Championship.

Dawn raids on Monday resulted in 14 arrests - including Lazio captain Stefano Mauri - to bring the total number of suspects arrested in the match-fixing probe to about 50 since last year. Many more have been placed under investigation.

"Football should be stopped for two to three years," Monti said on Tuesday in a powerful message to Italy's football authorities on the need to clean up the game. "It is not a proposal by the government but a question I am asking as someone who was passionate when football was still football."

Monti made the comments while standing beside the prime minister of Poland, which is co-hosting Euro 2012 with Ukraine starting June 8.

"I'm not making a proposal, and even less is it a proposal that comes from the government, but it's a desire that sometimes I feel inside me: that it would really benefit the maturity of us Italian citizens if this game was completely suspended for two to three years," he said.

He also ruled out the use of public money to bail out football teams in difficulty.

Police swept through the Italian national squad's training camp near Florence on Monday as part of the operation and Italy defender Domenico Criscito was left out of the Euro 2012 squad after he was placed under investigation.

Antonio Conte, who coached Juventus to the Serie A title this term, was also officially notified that he is under investigation for alleged wrongdoing while in charge of Siena in 2010-2011.

Apart from those arrested Monday, three people have been placed under house arrest and two others are to present themselves to authorities. Five of the arrests were made in Hungary.

Numerous others have had their houses searched, including Chievo Verona striker Sergio Pellissier as well as Conte and Criscito.

The investigation was started by judicial authorities in Cremona last year. It has resulted in former Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni being banned from football for three and a half years, and the arrest of former Lazio captain Giuseppe Signori.

Serie A clubs Atalanta, Novara and Siena were among the 22 Italian teams notified at the beginning of this month that they are being investigated by sports authorities.

Prosecutors in Cremona have detailed an extensive match-fixing ring stretching as far as Singapore and South America that was allegedly in operation for more than 10 years.

Italy has only recently recovered from the 2006 match-fixing scandal - known as Calciopoli - that resulted in Juventus being relegated to Serie B for a season, plus points penalties for several other Serie A teams and lengthy bans for club and refereeing officials.

The Italian national team reacted in the best possible way, winning the World Cup later that year.

History of Ear Gauging in Tribal Civilizations | Heavy Karaoke

A study of the history of ear gauging indicates the observe to be as recent as recorded human history. For males, this type of ear piercing has been a symbol of standing, while for women, in addition to being used as means of bodily decoration, it?s additionally been employed to suggest the attainment of womanhood.

Ear gauging that is additionally cited as ear stretching is the stretching of ear lobe piercings to larger diameters than that of the first piercing. It?s a variety of body enhancement or beautification that several young western people adopt to seem ?different? from the same old crowd. However, this is often not a modern variety of body piercing, since it?s been around for as long as archaeological records exist.

In many cases, ear gauging has been used traditionally to point the standing of members of a particular tribe, and in many respects this is often still true these days. Stretched piercings are, and still are, a mirrored image on the individual?s sexual capability and additionally their superiority over different males within the tribe. The larger the stretching, the more necessary the individual.

Ortiz the Iceman could be a prime example of mummies known to have stretched ears. This is often the earliest known example of ear gauging, Ortiz having 7-11 mm ear piercings throughout 3300 BC. it?s been instructed that the stretching of the ears noted in depictions of Siddhartha Gautama, higher called Buddha, might are caused by the burden of the gold jewelry he wore, but this is often mere supposition.

It is supported, however, by the very fact that the Misaim tribe of Kenya and also the Lau and Karen-Padang people of Thailand use this ?gravity? technique to stretch their piercings. Allow us to have a look at the ear gauging practices used these days by various cultures.

A. Morse Tribal girls

The Morse is an Ethiopian tribe where the women are obliged to wear plates in their gauged ears and on their bottom lip. a couple of year prior to her wedding, or at regarding 15 years ancient, a Morse girl?s lip are pierced by her mother and a wooden peg pushed through the incision.

Once healed, the peg is modified for a bigger diameter one. Eventually, the peg is replaced by a plate of clay or wood, and this plate is successively changed for larger diameter ones until the required diameter is attained ? from around 8 ? twenty two cm in diameter (3 ? 9 inches). Once these plates are secured, she receives a better degree of respect than those while not them, and is thought as a ?Bhansanai?.

These lip and ear plates needn?t be worn permanently, but are an expected adornment throughout special occasions like throughout weddings and different celebrations, and after they serve food to men. Today, young girls can typically create their own call on whether or not or not they follow this tradition.

B. the Misaim people of Kenya

The observe of ear gauging has been common among Misaim men and girls for thousands of years. In recent years, however, most young men haven?t been following this tradition, though you will still find many Misaim girls sporting ear decorations made of stones, cross-cut elephant tusks, wood and animal bones.

The original piercing is distributed employing a thorn, sharpened twig or purposely} knife point. Once healed, ear gauging is then distributed by sporting increasingly serious jeweler that pulls the lobe down and stretches the piercing. This is often the normal means of gauging ears within the more primitive cultures, though much Misaim these days will use proper ear gauging techniques, like their own versions of insertion tapers or taper spikes. Beads are a standard variety of ornamentation, though plugs made of bone, tusks and wood are also used.

C. The African Fulani Tribe

Fulani girls from Nigeria and Central Africa tend to use smaller diameter ear gauges, and decorate them using massive gold domes or hoops carrying earrings. A Fulani child will have her ears pierced at around 3 years recent, though they will not be stretched until she is older. The gauges utilized by Fulani girls are comparatively tiny compared to the Misaim and Morse, though the jeweler may be larger.

D. Asian Hill Tribes

Of the assorted hill tribes, the sole two known to observe ear gauging are the Lau from Thailand, {and the and therefore the and additionally the} Karen-Padang (Longnecks) from Myanmar (Burma) and also the Phrase province in Thailand. That latter tribe is best known for their neck rings, providing the appearance of long necks, but each culture believe the ear to be sacred and also the more jewelers they?ll wear on the higher. By gauging their ears, they?re able to wear the utmost quantity of jeweler they believe potential.

E. Mexican and Central yank Civilizations

In Mayan and Aztec society, ear gauging was considered fascinating for males. There are many Mayan representations of men with flares and ear plugs (ear spools) in gauged ears, and also the material used was indicative of the social standing of the wearer. Jade ear plugs were worn by the upper categories, while the remainder would use bone, stone, wood and different materials. In central Mexico, the craftsmanship of the Aztecs is clear within the ear gauging plugs and ornaments of gold and silver, though the lower categories would adorn their stretches earlobes with shells, copper and wood among many different imaginative materials.

Ear gauging has been distributed worldwide, and among different notable areas concerned during this observes are Japan, where the Ainu used ear jeweler made of shells, bone and a ball and ring called Nackara. There are many different cultures worldwide where ear gauging was a part of their life, and even these days many of us regard ear stretching as a fashion statement and how of expressing their own temperament and individuality.

Contrasting Types and Materials of Home Eavestrough











No one can refute how much an eavestrough or rain gutter system plays a part in the condition of a house. Present day rain gutters have been developed specifically to fit home decor and the majority of commercially ready kinds come in notable components such as aluminum and vinyl. However, there are Toronto homes that use interesting and unique gutters that appear quite different from traditional products on the market.

Commercially available vinyls may come in different shapes, like U and K, and materials like galvanized steel, aluminum, and vinyl. The most significant function of these rain gutters would be to route runoff water from the roofing to protect against damage to the home as a result of stagnant water in the substrate. while most gutters today are utilized for their efficiency more than their design purposes, there are still homeowners that make design and uniqueness a main concern. The following are a handful of of the most unique rain gutters that you can still observe in modern-day Toronto houses:

Copper Rain Gutters

Eavesthrough gutters which appear in a yellow gloss are likely crafted from copper. While copper rain gutters are very costly to produce and set up, they are seldom seen in typical homes. Then again, copper gutters require hardly any maintenance and so are immune to decay; all they require are tailor-made sealants, and it would last for years.

Steel Systems

An excellent replacement for copper in creating eavestroughs is steel. Although there are tons of metal rain gutters available to property owners, these are typically made from galvanized steel or aluminum. Stainless steel gutters are rust-resistant and do not ought to be given something to preserve its shimmer. The only drawback is, like copper gutter systems, it is very costly to set up.

Box Gutters

Box gutters are heavy-duty eavestrough systems which are set up straight into the base of a roof rather than clinging from the sides, similar to most present day rain gutters are. A box eavestrough Toronto has are found in classic structures and properties, especially those that were constructed between the late 1800s to the early 1900s. This sort of gutters is utilized when prioritizing functionality over design.

Wood Gutters

Wood gutters, typically created from old growth cedar, are exceptionally hard to find. A Toronto eavestrough system produced from wood would generally be identified in older homes or restorations. Old growth cedar is quite resistant to deterioration, but it is very difficult to find, which makes it a pricey material for house gutter structures.

If you're utilizing systems like these, as well as present day rain gutter structures that nearly all houses have today, you should have numbers of Toronto roof repair firms on hand, in case of issues.

Arrest made in 1979 disappearance of Etan Patz

Pedro Hernandez, 51, has confessed to strangling the boy who went missing more than three decades ago. NBC's Ron Allen reports.

By Jonathan Dienst and Shimon Prokupecz, NBCNewYork.com

Updated at 7:53 p.m. ET: A former bodega stock clerk has been arrested for allegedly luring 6-year-old Etan Patz off a New York City street with the promise of a soda before strangling him in a development that police say solves a case that has mystified New York City for decades.

Etan (pronounced ay-tahn) vanished on his way to a school bus stop 33 years ago Friday. The case drew international attention and changed the way parents felt about letting their young children go off alone.

Police announced Thursday that Pedro Hernandez had told them he lured Etan into a bodega where he worked, near the boy's house, and attacked the child, choking him to death in the basement.


Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said police focused on Hernandez, who now lives in Maple?Shade, N.J., after the Missing Persons Squad received a tip from someone who remembered Hernandez speaking of having killed a child. Others close to Hernandez also recalled those claims, a source told NBC 4 New York.

For more on this case, visit NBCNewYork.com

Based on those interviews, police went to question Hernandez.

Kelly said Hernandez, who worked at the bodega for about a month, had not given a reason for attacking Etan and said there was "no reason at this time" to suspect the boy was sexually abused. He said it was "unlikely" that Etan's remains would ever be found and that Hernandez told them he put the boy's body in the trash.

Kelly did not answer whether Hernandez had a lawyer.

Mayor Bloomberg said Thursday that the disappearance of Etan "broke the hearts of millions" across the nation, especially parents, and expressed sympathy again for the boy's family.

"I certainly hope that we are one step closer to bringing them some measure of relief," he said.

A suspect is in custody after making statements to NYPD detectives implicating himself in the disappearance and death of Etan Patz, a 6-year-old boy who vanished 33 years ago from his Manhattan neighborhood. WNBC-TV's Jonathan Dienst reports.

Neighbors near Hernandez' house in Maple Shade, N.J., said he lived with a woman and a daughter who attends college.

"I can't believe something like that," said Dan Wollick, 71, who rents the other apartment in home. "This guy, he doesn't seem that way."

Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance had pledged to reopen the decades-old cold case when he took office in 2010. The exhaustive search for Etan was renewed several weeks ago when police dug up the basement of a handyman's workshop near where Etan disappeared. A new layer of concrete had been laid over the foundation of the basement shortly after the boy vanished.

That search yielded no new evidence.

A lawyer for the handyman, Othniel Miller, said his client is "relieved by these developments, as he was not involved in any way with Etan Patz's disappearance."

This undated image provided Friday, May 28, 2010 by Stanley K. Patz shows a flyer distributed by the New York Police Department of Patz's son Etan, who vanished in New York on May 25, 1979.

One other man had remained a longtime possible suspect: Jose Ramos, a drifter and onetime boyfriend of Etan's baby sitter. In the early 1980s, he was arrested on theft charges, and had photos of other young, blond boys in his backpack. But there was no hard evidence linking Ramos to the crime.

He is in prison in Pennsylvania on a separate case.

The boy's parents, Stan and Julie Patz, were reluctant to move or even change their phone number in case their son tried to reach out. They still live in the same apartment, down the street from the building that was examined in April. They have endured decades of false leads, and a lack of hard evidence.???? ?

Police said the family had been notified of the arrest.?

Stan Patz had his son declared legally dead in 2001 so he could sue Ramos, who has never been criminally charged with the boy's death and denies harming the boy. A civil judge in 2004 found Ramos to be responsible for the child's death.

Stamp of trademark approval for dripping wax seal on Maker's Mark ...

May 25, 2012

Did you realize that the red dripping wax seal on bottles of Makers?s Mark is a registered trademark of the brand?? Well, it is?? and the US Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit (in Kentucky) upheld the famous trademark earlier this month.

The trademarked red dripping wax seal (US Registration No. 1370465) was challenged when tequila maker Jose Cuervo started using a similar red dripping wax seal on bottles of premium tequila.? Cuervo?s use of a red dripping wax seal prompted a lawsuit to determine the enforceability and validity of the trademarked seal.? In the case, Cuervo challenged the registration of the red dripping wax seal on the basis of ?functionality.?? Interestingly, under US Trademark law, a registered mark may be found invalid if it is ?functional.?? A trademark is functional ?if it is essential to the use or purpose of the article or if it affects the cost or quality of the article.?? To evaluate functionality, courts consider if? ?it would be difficult or costly for competitors to design around? the mark (comparable alternatives test) or if competitors are at a significant disadvantaged by being prevented to use a red dripping wax (the effective competition test).? In this case the courts held that the registered trademark was not ?functional? and as a consequence is an enforceable trademark.

(The court also considered and evaluated several other factors including: the strength of the mark; the length of time the mark had been registered, relatedness of the two parties goods, assessed similarity of the wax seals used by both parties and actual confusion).

The court held that the trademarked red dripping wax seal was enforceable.? (Also included in the court?s opinion is an impressively romantic history of Kentucky Bourbon.? Including fun facts about Maker?s Mark? for example, did you know that the red dripping wax seal was first applied using the family deep frier?)

Skin cancer in cats and dogs. | *A blog for Pets*


Many types of skin tumors, both benign (noncancerous) and malignant (cancerous), exist. Approximately 20-40% of primary skin tumors are
malignant in dogs and 50-65% are malignant in cats.

Not all forms of skin cancer in cats and dogs are caused by sun exposure, but it can happen occasionally. On dogs, the nose and pads of the feet contain sensitive skin and no fur to protect from the sun.
Also, cats and dogs with thin or light-colored coats are at a higher risk of sun damage over their entire bodies.

Malignant Melanoma???????????????????????????? Dog breeds


Malignant melanoma affects pigmented cells called melanocytes. Cats and dogs often develop benign tumors in these cells, which do not metastasize. These tumors are found on areas of the body that has hair. Most malignant melanomas occur on the mouth or mucous membranes, but they are occasionally found on parts of the body covered with hair. They tend to grow extremely fast and are likely to spread to other organs, including the lungs and liver. The cause of melanomas remains unknown, although genetic factors seem to play a role. Additionally, trauma or compulsive licking of a particular spot on the skin may increase the likelihood that cells will multiply, thereby raising the chances that cells will mutate during the division process and become cancerous.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This form of skin cancer is often caused by exposure to the sun. Firm and often raised tumors usually occur in the abdomen or genitals, but can also occur on the feet, which can be painful and cause limping. Scientists believe there may also be a connection between the papilloma virus and the development of squamous cell tumors in certain dogs. The feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) has also been linked to the development of squamous cell carcinoma in cats, although it is unclear what role the virus plays in the development of these tumors.

Mast Cell Tumors

These skin cancers, which occur in the mast cells of the immune system, are the most common skin tumors in canines. Mast cell tumors are the second most common skin tumor in the cat, accounting approximately for 20% of all skin tumors. Veterinarians don?t know what causes mast cell tumors to develop, although there have been cases where they have been linked to inflammation or irritants on the skin. Evidence suggests genetic factors are often important, and the hormones estrogen and progesterone may also affect cancer growth.

Basal Cell Tumors???????????????????????????????????? Cat breeds

This is the most common type of skin cancer in cats. It is more common in older cats, often appearing as a single growth on the head. Basal cell tumors occur as small nodular growths beneath the skin, often next to each other, producing solid sheets of bumps. They also tend to occur on the back and upper chest. Basal cell tumors enlarge locally and spread by direct extension. They do not usually metastasize. Basal cell tumors are most commonly seen in Siamese and domestic longhaired cats. Rarely, basal cell tumors become malignant. This occurs primarily in Persian cats.

Signs and symptoms

Skin tumors are usually discovered by pet owners as abnormal growths on the skin while examining or grooming their pets. Most benign tumors are slow growing and painless, with well defined boundaries and freely movable. In contrast, malignant tumors tend to be rapidly growing and often ulcerated with ill-defined boundaries.
Cats and dogs sometimes experience itchiness because of the cancer, which might cause them to scratch or chew at the affected area. This will often lead to redness of the skin or a flaky appearance.

Diagnosis

Typically, either cytologic or histopathologic analysis of the suspected mass is done prior to initiating treatment. The commonly used diagnostic procedures for skin tumors are fine-needle aspiration cytology and tissue biopsy.
Cytology is an important tool that can help the veterinarian distinguish a tumor from inflammatory lesions. The biopsy technique used will largely depend on the tumor's size and location. Small masses are usually completely excised and sent to the pathology lab to confirm that the surrounding healthy tissues that were excised along with the tumor do not contain any cancer cells. If the tumor is larger, a small sample is removed for analysis and depending on the results, appropriate treatment is chosen. Depending on the tumor type and its level of aggressiveness, additional diagnostic tests can include blood tests to assess the pet?s overall health, chest X-rays to check for lung metastasis, and abdominal ultrasound to check for metastasis to other internal organs.

Treatment

The specific treatment will depend on the tumor's type, location, size, and whether the cancer has spread to other organs. Surgical removal of the tumor remains the standard treatment of choice, but additional forms of therapy such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy exist.
When detected early, skin cancer in cats and dogs can often be treated successfully. In many cases, a biopsy can remove the whole tumor, as long as the healthy tissues removed from just outside the tumor area do not contain any cancer cells.
