Tennessee Gov. Haslam seeks federal help with flooding
Gov. Bill Haslam asked President Barack Obama on Tuesday to authorize emergency funding of $10million to help the state and local jurisdictions with flood evacuation preparedness in West Tennessee.
Haslam took an aerial tour of flooding in northwest Tennessee on Tuesday and also met in Dyersburg with several mayors and emergency management officials.
Dyersburg Mayor John Holden said people in parts of that city near the North Fork of the Forked Deer River should evacuate. Miles of farmland were flooded after a small levee was intentionally breached to ease pressure on the Mississippi and Obion rivers and save more densely populated areas.
"The vastness of the flooding and the water on both sides of the river is just a little hard to believe until you get up there," Haslam said.

As much as he enjoys living near the water, Bob Garlock doesn't like it pouring into his storage area and creeping up to his back porch.
"Now we're a little too close," said Garlock, 61, who shares a townhouse with his wife on the eastern edge of Harbor Town on Mud Island in Downtown Memphis.
With the Mississippi River rising toward its highest crest in 74 years, Shelby County officials warned Tuesday that some 5,300 residences and businesses could experience flooding in the days ahead.
Those residents, including people such as Garlock living along the Wolf River Harbor side of Mud Island, "need to be making plans" to evacuate if necessary, said Bob Nations, director of the Office of Preparedness.
By Tuesday evening, the Mississippi had risen to 43.7 feet -- nearly 10 feet above flood stage -- on the Memphis gauge.
Forecasters still expect it to crest at 48 feet, just shy of the record set in the 1937 flood, but they moved the timing back one day to May 11 to account for the longer route the water has to take since the Corps of Engineers deliberately inundated the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway in Missouri late Monday.
Flooding already has driven more than 200 residents to shelters set up by county officials. By the time of the crest, the Mississippi and its tributaries could be flooding buildings in 19 ZIP codes extending from the northwestern to southeastern parts of the county, Nations said.
Faced with rising threats to residences, Gov. Bill Haslam on Tuesday asked President Barack Obama to approve $10 million in emergency funds to help prepare for evacuations in counties along the Mississippi.
But despite all the grim developments, the flooding picture brightened somewhat Tuesday as sunny skies marked an end to days of heavy rain.
No more precipitation is expected until another frontal system arrives around Sunday, and even that "doesn't appear to be a big rain-producer," said National Weather Service meteorologist Richard Okulski.
The drier weather removes the risk of even more extensive flooding as tributaries, unable to discharge into the swollen Mississippi, start backing up eastward for several miles.
It also helps officials refine their projections on flooding impacts when the crest hits.
Maps produced by the Office of Preparedness show that the Loosahatchie River will be backed up to Austin Peay Highway. On the Wolf River, the effects of the Mississippi's high stages will be seen all the way to the Interstate 40/240 interchange in East Memphis.
Nonconnah Creek will be swollen to around Airways, while Big Creek will be backed up all the way to Ward Road.
Big Creek and nearby tributaries already are creating havoc for some residences and businesses.
The golf pros, management and crew at Mirimichi Golf Course labored Tuesday with sandbags and something called an "aqua wall," which they placed around the course's swanky new Callaway Golf Performance Center and pro shop.
There was nothing they could do to keep most of Justin Timberlake's acclaimed golf complex of 27 holes from being covered by floodwater. But employees have fought for days to keep Big Creek's approaching water out of the golf building.
Big Creek rolls past the Mirimichi property on the far side of the No. 2 fairway. Several hundred yards beyond the stream is where a remarkable rescue of about 40 dogs took place Monday night.
Memphis firefighter George Edwards, a lieutenant who works at the airport station, takes in stray dogs and keeps them in three sets of pens on his seven acres on Locke Road.
He called for help in evacuating the dogs when he spotted water spilling over the road toward his house at about 6:30 p.m. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to his call, Edwards said.
Volunteers joined Edwards and his sons to make numerous trips of 600 to 750 feet, walking jon boats filled with dogs from the house to vehicles parked along the road.
A different Loosahatchie tributary breached a wall of sandbags to invade the back of a Memphis business at 3995 Thomas on the north edge of Frayser.
The employees of Mid-South Generator and Starters had worked for eight hours Monday stacking sandbags to keep Todd's Creek out of the main building. The business bought 3,000 bags and filled many of them.
Farther upstream, the area east of Paul Barret Parkway between U.S. 70 and the Loosahatchie is dubbed "Lake Arlington."
The Loosahatchie in the northeast Shelby County town is out of its banks, spreading its water across the farmland on either side of the channel reaching the northern edge of the highway.
Back at Mud Island, where most homes are well above the projected flood level, Garlock was pondering his next move Tuesday evening.
The slack-water harbor on the Mississippi has flooded the storage area beneath his house and is sliding up toward his porch and air-conditioning units and could seep into his first floor by the time of the crest.
"We've got the notoriety of being the lowest living place in Harbor Town," Garlock said.
Movers will come later this week to take the Garlocks' furniture to a friend's condominium for safe storage.
"Then we'll wait and see," he said. "If it does flood, then we'll move somewhere else."

Louisiana Boy Scouts rescued from Arkansas campsite
In the same remote Arkansas valley where 20 people died in a flash flood last summer, six Louisiana Boy Scouts trapped by a rising river built a campfire and ate jambalaya and grits, confident rescuers would eventually arrive.
The boys' two adult leaders had them set up camp near a mountain they could climb if their trail flooded -- one of a series of decisions that allowed the group to emerge unharmed Tuesday from the Albert Pike Recreation Area in southwest Arkansas.
Rescuers also praised them for good planning, leaving a map of their planned trek and avoiding the valley floor when they realized how deep and fast the river had grown.
"They did exactly what they needed to do," Montgomery County Sheriff David White said. "As long as they stayed on high ground, we figured they were going to be in good shape."

It's good to know the Best Brains had as much fun making the show as we had watching it (that, at least, is the sense we get from 'Poopie!'), but don't think this video is a substitute for one of their top-of-the-line episodes. If you're a really hard-core MSTie, you need to get this. If you're not, you'll probably wonder why the MSTie you're watching it with is rolling on the floor laughing and gasping for breath.

Business and Human Rights
In a world where the 50 of the 100 biggest economies are multinational companies and new communications technology is erasing national borders, governments are no longer the sole agents of global behavior. Corporations have reached a level of influence that makes them both a problem and a potential solution in human rights struggles and requires a dual effort: holding them accountable for their actions (and the actions of their suppliers) while also providing a path so that their actions can support a positive human rights agenda. Human Rights First has worked on the following multi-stakeholder initiatives to engage the business community on human rights:
- Fair Labor Association (FLA) to promote and safeguard labor rights in apparel and footwear manufacturing.
- Global Network Initiative (GNI) to protect freedom of expression and privacy rights in the Internet and communications sector.
- Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights to help develop a set of standards to address the right to life and personal security in the extractives sector.

NORTH MANKATO — The United Way announced Tuesday it has funding for the first three years of a new program it hopes will help direct families of newborns to all the services available to them in the Mankato area.
The program, called First Steps, has been up and running for about three months. But on Tuesday Greater Mankato Area United Way President Laura Bowman said they've received a donation of $150,000 over three years from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, $90,000 over three years from the Mankato Clinic Foundation, and $40,000 from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation.
The United Way also is committing to contributing $60,000 annually to fund the program.
Bowman said the United Way recognized a need and found a way to make a program happen.
"We're uniquely positioned to see the need, and to bring together the stakeholders," Bowman said. "We're trying to reduce barriers young families see when trying to navigate the health care system."
First Steps is directed toward parents of newborns. The goal is to identify families who may not know what services are available and don't know how to get them.
The program puts an expert right on site at both the Mankato Clinic and Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato.
Teresa Freitag, First Steps coordinator, said the program has worked with nearly 50 people so far.
Things started slowly, she said. But after she met face to face with doctors and nurses and explained what the program is and how it can help families, referrals started coming in.
Families are told about the program during visits with their doctors. Then, if they choose, they can go directly from their doctor's appointment to Freitag's office. Once there she tells them how to get access to social services, Early Childhood Family Education programs, transportation assistance — anything a new parent or new family might need to be successful in raising a child.

The buses leave the centre of Aguas Calientes every 10 minutes and take about 30 minutes to get up the steep mountainside to Machu Picchu. They are the …
Cusco is pretty, cold and there is no oxygen!
Having said goodbye to the hot jungle, it was a bit of a shock to land after a 30 minute flight in Cusco high in the Andes. It is 3200 metres above sea level, and as we got off the plane, it was immediately noticeably cold. A very strange experience going from one extreme to another in 30 minutes.

Sehome girls' soccer defeated Nooksack Valley 5-1 on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at Nooksack Valley. The Mariners were led by Emily Webster's two goals and one assist.
Webster's first goal came in the 10th minute on a cross from Marie Kochman that she struck at the Pioneers' goalkeeper, but the goalkeeper bobbled the ball and it went into the goal. Webster assisted on the next goal a minute later by Kate Peterson. Sehome added three more before Janis DeJager put in Nooksack Valley's lone goal in the 72nd minute.
"We really focused on passing," Sehome coach Andria Fountain said in a phone interview. "I had people play different positions for the experience and to see what it's like when 'the shoe is on the other foot.'"
Fountain was impressed with Sascha Guenter-Schlesinger's effort off the bench. Sehome goalkeeper Hannah Lauffer scored from the midfield position in the 68th minute, which Fountain said was exciting for the team as it was Lauffer's first time playing in the field.
Sehome's next game is at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at Northwest Fields against Meridian. Nooksack Valley plays next at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at Northwest Fields against Bellingham.
Goal: Emily Webster (Sehome), assist Marie Kochman: time: 10; Goal: Kate Peterson (Sehome), assist Emily Webster: time: 11; Goal: Andria Zucchi (Sehome), time: 31; Goal: Emily Webster (Sehome), assist Haiydon Weight: time: 48. : Hannah Lauffer (Sehome), assist Abby Webster: time: 68; Goal: Janis DeJager (Nooksack Valley), time: 72. Shots on goal: Sehome 12; Nooksack Valley 3. Goalies (saves) Sehome: Hannah Lauffer (1), Nicole Carlson (1); Nooksack Valley: (9).

The offer was tempting although she was going to leave it alone. Who the hell did he think he was talking to her like this. But her teenage mind forgot about it. "You're just lucky I have a lesson to attend to."
"Yeah, sure. Have fun in kindergarten." He knew an excuse when given one, but rarely did he bother to pry at them. The girl wasn't up to go through all the way to a fight with a stranger, like most sensible individuals. Though he had a feeling that with her brand of annoying, she'd be back.
"I wouldn't really mess with me if I was you twat. I might break you in two…."
"Whatever, I'd love to see you try. Obviously you don't get the concept of 'leave me the fuck alone', so I'll break it down for you: Stop annoying me. And everything you love will remain intact. Capite?"

Fishing can be a fun summer activity for all ages, but a fun day on the water can be dangerous if not done safely.
Jeremiah Clark, law enforcement officer with the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, said when fishing, it's important to pay attention.
One safety issue comes when casting, or putting a line into the water.
When casting, Clark said fishermen must pay attention to what's around them, and that the path the hook travels is clear.
"I've seen many times where kids don't pay attention to what's behind them when casting and they get the hook caught on a branch or on someone else," Clark said.
Fishing from land and fishing from a boat each has its own dangers.
When fishing from a boat, fishermen must have a personal floatation device with them. Clark said fishermen usually have respect for each other when fishing on a river or lake. If anchoring on the river or lake to fish, he said it would be courteous to anchor away from high-traveled routes, and boats are not allowed to anchor on the main channel of a river.
"It's pretty much fisherman courtesy to do that," Clark said.

Turning baby hair into diamonds
Anyone who watches late-night cable knows that the synthetic jewelry market is thriving. But you may be surprised to learn that one of the industry's more competitive subsets involves human DNA.
Pink Tentacle reports that a Russian company named New Age Diamonds is targeting Japanese consumers with something called the Heart-In Baby Diamond, "a synthetic diamond made from the hair of newborn babies." This is reminiscent of an item we posted late last year on , "a certified, high-quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique life."
Personal accessory tastes notwithstanding, we prefer either of these options to , a capsule pendant that offers to "capture the breath of a loved one or friend and keep them close. Forever."

"Quick promotions! Worth gaining experience and adding to resume."
Pros – Friendly co-workers, staff, and vendors. Understanding direct managers and upper management of an employees personal and family issues thus allowing a flexible work schedule when needed. Also, great opportunity for growth within company. Many employees are recognized and get promoted and raises quickly.
Cons – Don't make yourself at home and don't get cozy with your coworkers. There seems to be an inconsistency of policies within upper management. It could be due to the lack of proper training provided when someone is promoted to a different position. Although people are promoted quickly because they have excelled in their current role or position it does not neccesarily mean they have the skills, knowledge, or experience to be able to handle or properly perform in their new role. This results in the inconsistencies with policies and also contributes to high employee turnover.
Advice to Senior Management – It's great to promote internally but make sure they are getting properly trained before throwing them into a new position. Also, make sure you are consistent with everyone in regards to training and directives given regarding policies. For example, some individuals are sent to a two week training off site and even another one week peer coaching at their property while some never recieved ANY training at all. This is not allowing those without training a fair chance. Also, although many are promoted within the company, those upper management roles such as community managers or district managers, and so on seem to be mostly new hires. Don't overlook current employees who are far more capable of a higher role with the company due to previous experience, knowledge, and skills and on top of that are already well aware of company procedures and standards.
"Not a job for the weak."
Pros – Great communication between upper management and the field and a complete willingness to consider almost any suggestion for improvement. Recent changes have made the company more progressive and have given alot of room to grow. There is a definate standard to which you are held and it is made clear from the get-go if you stick to these you will get the back up you need. There is plenty of one on one time with the higher ups (I have met almost everyone) and feel that I can call any one of them if need be. they have also implemented some new practices and programs in the past year that have made our jobs much easier and have cut out much of the paperwork associated with the job. Good bonus structure and benefits.
Cons – Long hours(sometimes up to 12 hrs a day) and fairly low salaries (less than 30K) compared to other property management companies. Minimal staff causes community managers to spend more time on mowers in the summer than watching the budget. Annual fourth quarter cut-backs brings business to a near halt at the end of the year. Annual rent increases cause dissatisfaction among residents even though many communitys have indaicated that they are unable to offer any new services and are from time to time unable to maintain their locations to standard even though they are consiterable higher than the competition.
Advice to Senior Management – The residents here are not rich people, it is important to keep in mind that they are the first to be laid off and struggle during hard times. Maybe we can go one year without increasing rents and actually complete some of the projects we have promised them year after year.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Pros – Work independently and with freedom to make decisions
Cons – Top down management could be overbearing at times
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"arc is awesome"
Pros – solid place to work,great management
Cons – pay is weak,but decent benefits
Advice to Senior Management – little more incentives!!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Applicants to Puerto Rico LPN programs are often required to hold a current license as a certified nurse assistant (CNA). Typically, LPN programs require applicants to possess a high school diploma or the equivalent. Many LPN programs have specific course prerequisites, such as nutrition, biology, and college-level English.
In Puerto Rico, the licensed practical nursing education requirement is satisfied by completing a Puerto Rico LPN training program. Typically, LPN certificate courses are offered by a community college or vocational school. This program must be approved by the Puerto Rico Nursing Board. Upon course completion, the student is eligible to take the LPN licensing exam. Most LPN programs take 8 to 12 months (1 year) to complete, though 2 year LPN programs are also offered.
You should contact your educational institution of choice to learn more about the individual school's specific program application process, classroom course work & credit requirements. While preparing for the NCLEX-PN exam, students pursue both classroom course work and supervised clinical practice. LPN class subjects include biology, physiology, first aid, anatomy, nutrition, chemistry, obstetrics, and pediatrics. This website contains an ever-growing number of free online resources for finding an accredited LPN program in Puerto Rico
LPN students need a high school diploma or GED. You will also need to complete the required prep courses for Puerto Rico LPN Certification, as well as a criminal background check. The last yet most critical of the LPN requirements is having to pass the LPN Entrance Exam. This is commonly referred to as the NCLEX-PN exam.
Additionally, the majority of states require that LPNs meet several physical strength and health requirements. Among these LPN requirements are:

This is simply a weather adjustment clause ( ) Va at o s all other acto s eco o y, e d use efficiency) • (B) Variations due a ot e factors (e.g., economy, end-use e c e cy) except weather are included in the true-up • (C) Some combination of the above p g Revenue-Profit Decoupling: What is it? Breaks the mathematical link between sales volumes and profits bj i i k fi l l i Objective is to make profit levels immune to changes in sales volumes – This is a revenue issue – This is not a pricing issue – Volumetric pricing and other rate design (e.g. TOU) may be "tweaked" in presence of decoupling, but pricing structures need not be changed customers' Not intended to decouple customers bills from consumption p g Revenue Decoupling: The Basic Concept Basic Revenue-Profit Decoupling has two primary components: target revenue" – Determine a "target revenue to be collected in a given period • In the simplest form of revenue decoupling (sometimes revenue cap" regulation), called "revenue cap regulation) Target Revenues are always equal to Test Year Revenue Requirements • Other approaches have formulas to adjust Target Revenue over time – Set a price which will collect that target revenue p This is the same as the last step in a traditional rate case – i.e. Price = Revenues ÷ Units p g How Decoupling Is Administered Some (e.g. California) use an annual accrual of the revenue over- and under-recoveries and then collect or refund that amount over an ensuing 12 mo. Period g – CA also uses future test years and annual p g pp p g j proceedings to approve decoupling adjustments Caveat: annual proceedings are potential opportunity for litigation and challenge p g How Decoupling Is Administered Others use a "current" system which makes the decoupling adjustment directly on customers' bills for that month (or, sometimes, with a 30-60 day lag) – Decoupling does not necessarily require any "lag" as is customary for fuel clauses When all inputs are derived directly from billing information, then process becomes ministerial and not subject to much litigation or challenge The Decoupling Calculation Utility Target Revenue Periodic Decoupling Calculation Requirement determined with From the Rate Case traditional rate case Target Revenues $10 000 000 $10,000,000 – By class & by month (or other period coinciding with how often Test Year Unit Sales 100,000,000 decoupling adjustment is made) Price $0.10/Unit p Each future period will have Post Rate Case Calculation different actual unit sales than Test Year Actual Unit Sales 99,000,000 The difference (positive or Target Revenues (from above) $10,000,000 negative) is flowed through to Required Total Price $0.10101/Unit customers by adjusting Price for that period (see Post Rate Case Decoupling Price "Adjustment" $0.00101/Unit Calculation) Approaches Where Target Revenues Are Not Held Constant California – Embeds decoupling in broader PBR context – Allows Target Revenues to change – e.g. for inflation & productivity p y Many now use Revenue Per Customer model, model where Target Revenues are recomputed to account for customer growth RPC Decoupling Recognizes that, between rate cases, a utility's costs change mostly as a function y g y of the number of customers served price, revenue For each volumetric price a "revenue per customer" average can be calculated from the rate case test year data used to set prices p g How RPC Decoupling Changes Allowed Revenues Periodic D li C l l ti P i di Decoupling Calculation In any future period, the Target From the Rate Case Revenue for any given volumetric price (i.e. demand Target Revenues $10,000,000 charge or energy rate) is Test Year Unit Sales 100,000,000 derived by multiplying the RPC Price $0.10/Unit value from the rate case by the Number of Customers 200,000 then-current number of Revenue Per Customer (RPC) $50.00 customers Post Rate Case Calculation N b of C Number f Customers 200,500 200 500 Target Revenues ($50 X 200,500) 10,025,000 Actual Unit Sales 99,000,000 Required Total Price $0.101768/Unit Decoupling Price "Adjustment" $0.001768/Unit C a ges o e C o e ect Changes To The RPC To Reflect Utility-Specific Conditions Inflation and Productivity Adjustment – Allowed RPC changes over time to reflect inflation (increase) and productivity (decreases) Separate RPC for Existing and New Customers – If new customers have higher or lower usage than i ti t th b th existing customers, the RPC can be separately calculated for each y Risks Affected By Decoupling Weather Economic Regulatory Lag I li i f fi i l b i ik f Implications for financial & business risk of utility What is weather risk? Weather risk is the risk that revenues change on account of changes in weather g g If you receive more (or less) revenues or pay less (or more) in customer bills because of weather, then you face weather risk e at o s p o Ut ty o ts Relationship of Utility Profits and Customer Bills to Weather Prices are usually determined using weather-normalized billing determinants g In extreme weather, consumption goes up, along with profits and consumer bills In mild weather, consumption goes down, along with profits and consumer bills Both utility and customer face risk, with i i ff opposite economic effect p g p Decoupling Also Decouples Revenues From Weather Because Target Revenues are determined using weather- normalized values, decoupling eliminates effect of weather on utility net revenues. Myth: Decoupling "shifts" weather risk from utility to customer Reality: Utility d t t k ( id) th i k R lit Utilit and customer take (or avoid) weather risk together in near zero sum wealth transfer (taxpayers take part of risk as well). For every weather-related decoupling i i th i ll lik l t b th price increase, there is equally likely to be a weather- related decoupling decrease – Wealth transfer is, therefore, a function of the vagaries of the th id h th there bli li i furthered weather – consider whether th are any public policies f th d by this phenomenon Economic Risk Like weather, changes in economic conditions can change sales volume g Decoupling has the effect of eliminating this risk as well because price adjustments are driven by actual sales Regulatory Lag Because prices are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in sales, decoupling has g , p g effect of reducing regulatory lag May have cost of capital implications Should have effect of reducing lumpiness of price changes that occur in periodic full rate cases Outside the Effect of Decoupling Because decoupling drives revenues, not costs, utility profits remain a function of , yp changes in underlying cost structure Utility ability to improve profits by reducing costs is not impacted ec g Sa es Vo u es Declining Sales Volumes Typically Reduce Net Income Without decoupling, utility sales and net income vary with sales volumes y – If short-run marginal cost is lower than average cost, and/or if there is a PGA / Fuel Clause, then net , , income declines with decreased sales (Typical) – If short-run marginal cost is higher than rates, and there is no Fuel Clause, then there is an inverse relationship (Pacificorp) Seve a d Weat e ea s Several Mild Weather Years Can Deplete Retained Earnings A large reduction in sales (say 20%) can causes net income to drop to zero Dividend payments can quickly deplete retain earnings Many bond covenants prohibit paying dividend if retained earnings are depleted If retained earnings are depleted and/or the dividend is suspended, a bond downgrade is likely, increasing borrowing costs for years to come g g Rating Agencies Value Stable Earnings A utility that can pay dividends out of cash earnings every year, regardless of weather, is likely to be viewed as lower risk S&P has specifically identified a "Business Risk Profile Rating" that ties the utility's risk profile to a required eq it gi en req ired equity ratio to maintain a given bond rating Most distribution utilities are rated 1, 2, 3, or 4 on a 10-point risk scale (independent power producers are p ( p p p rated 7 – 9) A lower risk utility needs less equity to get the same bond rating (and thus the same bond interest cost) Northwest Natural: 1 Step Benefit From Weather Adjustment Northwest Natural Gas received a partial decoupling (90%) in 2002 Christensen Associates review prepared in 2005: "CFO David Anderson believes that DMN and WARM were contributing factors to NW Natural obtaining the best rating in the Standard & Poor's (S&P) business risk profile (scoring a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10). Similarly, he believes that DMN and WARM contributed to the upgrade in NW Natural's S&P bond rating from A to A+. An improved risk profile has several beneficial effects. It allows NW Natural to maintain smaller lines of credit, reduce the share of equity in its capital structure, and maintain a lower coverage ratio." Benefit of a One-Step Improvement in the Risk Profile S&P Indicates that a 1-step reduction in the Business Risk Profile means about a 3% lower equity capitalization ratio is needed to maintain the same bond rating S&P Required Equity Capitalization Risk Profile BBB Rating A Rating 3 35% - 45% 45% - 50% 2 32% - 42% 42% - 48% Difference 3% 2.5% 2 5% q y How a Lower Equity Ratio Produces Lower Rates Weighted With-Tax Cost Without Decoupling Ratio Cost of Capital Equity 45% 11.0% 7.62% D bt Debt 55% 8 0% 8.0% 2.86% 2 86% Weighted Cost 10.48% Revenue Requirement: $1 Billion Rate Base 104,800,000 $ 104 800 000 With Decoupling Equity 42% 11.0% 7.11% Debt 58% 8.0% 3.02% Weighted Cost 10.13% Revenue Requirement: $1 Billion Rate Base $ 101,280,000 Savings Due to Decoupling Cost of Capital Benefit: $ 3,520,000 q y A Lower Equity Ratio Does Not Mean A Lower ROE A lower equity ratio still means the utility earns the same return on equity. It simply q y py has fewer shares of stock (and more bonds) making up its capital structure g p p In the previous example, the ROE was 11%, 8%, and the cost of debt was 8% reflecting an identical rate of profit, and an identical bond rating (and interest cost) Why Not Leave Unchanged, The Equity Ratio Unchanged and Let The Bond Rating Rise? Either one will produce the same effective results in the long run – A lower risk utility with an unchanged equity ratio will eventually get a higher bond rating – The higher bond rating will result in lower interest rates over time The bond rating benefits take decades to materialize The equity ratio adjustment can be done at the same time (or in the next rate case) as decoupling By h i i h h d li d B synchronizing the changes, decoupling can produce a reduction in rates for consumers, at no cost to investors – Equity holders get the same ROE as before – Bond investors get the same interest rate as before – Both are taking less risk p g Decoupling: Consumer Benefits The investor receives the same return, more stable earnings, and a lower business risk profile The consumer receives a lower revenue requirement If weather decoupling is done on a current ( y g y ), basis (every billing cycle), the consumer also receives a lower bill in extreme weather periods, when bills are most difficult to pay p g Decoupling Status: Electric Utilities WA VT ME MT ND MN NH OR MA WI NY ID SD RI MI WY CT PA NJ IA NE OH DE NV IL IN WV MD UT VA CO DC KS MO KY CA NC TN AZ OK AR SC NM GA MS AL AK TX LA FL LEGEND HI All electric IOUs decoupled or will be (CA, CT) At least one electric IOU is decoupled (ID, MD, NY, VT) At least one electric IOU is decoupled (ID, MD, NY, VT) States considering decoupling (docket or investigation opened, or utility has filed proposal) Source: RAP April 16, 2008 (CO, DC, DE, HI, KS, MA, MN, NH, NM, WI) States where commission has indicated it will consider decoupling proposals (AR, IA) p g Decoupling Status: Gas Utilities Approved Revenue Pending Revenue Decoupling Decoupling Learn More Profits & Progress Through Least-cost Planning – http://www.raponline.org/Pubs/General/Pandplcp.pdf Profits and Progress Through Distributed Resources – http://www.raponline.org/showpdf.asp?PDF_URL=Pubs/General/ProfitsandProgressdr.pdf Performance-based Regulation For Distribution Utilities – http://www.raponline.org/Pubs/General/DiscoPBR.pdf Performance-Based Regulation in a Restructured Electricity Industry http://www.synapse energy.com/Downloads/pbr naruc.doc – http://www synapse-energy com/Downloads/pbr-naruc doc Thanks for your attention… Website: http://www.raponline.org E mail: email@example.com E-mail: wshirley@raponline org Questions?

Keep an eye on the church calendar for upcoming activities and opportunities, but here are a few ideas:
Fun! Food! Fellowship! Whether we are doing service projects or snow-tubing, we invite you to join us. Please call the church office for details of our next event.
We host a Bible study and prayer breakfast each 4th Wednesday morning, from 7:30 to 8:30a.m. at the Blue Ash YMCA off of Kenwood Rd. Drop by, grab a danish and coffee, and join us for devotion and prayer! (You don't have to be a YMCA member to attend).
Men's Prayer – We meet every Tuesday morning at 6:30a.m. in the fellowship hall for coffee and a time of prayer. Although you can come and go as needed, it generally lasts until about 7:30a.m. You are welcome to join us regularly, or whenever you are able!
Women's Prayer – We meet regularly in individual homes to share prayer requests and look to God for grace and help in time of need. To keep things simple and focus on the purpose of the meeting, we don't do food… just come as you are, and bring a notebook to jot down requests! Contact the church office for the current day/location, or see the online calendar.
Otherwise known as the "Donut Detail," every Thursday morning a group of volunteers gets together to clean the church and grounds, then share coffee, donuts, and fellowship. If you'd like to join in the work (and the fun), jump in at any time!
As you may imagine, there are many challenges and much work required behind the scenes in order for the Baptist Bible Hour ministry to even get to the radio, internet, or printed page. Our dedicated staff works alongside some phenomenal volunteers in order to accomplish the necessary nuts and bolts of the ministry. If you would like to participate, please contact the BBH office.

Good eats near Pasadena City College?
I've just enrolled in a weekend class at PCC - the school's more or less at Colorado & Hill in Pasadena, and I drove around last weekend but didn't see a lot of promising options. Any decent eating options within walking distance or a quick 5-min. drive that you all would recommend? I've usually got an hour for lunch, I'd rather not spend it in the purgatory that is the Burger King on the corner all the other students seem to frequent!!!
Thanks a mil for your help...
You've got a ton of great options...
If you go west on Colorado from Hill, you'll find a Zankou Chicken (pita wraps, chicken, hummus) (a few doors west from McDonalds).
If you go a few more blocks west (maybe 1/4-1/2 mile) (towards Lake), you'll find a couple great Thai places (PresidentTwo (upstairs above Subway) and Taste of Bangkok (between Mentor/Lake).
In that same area (Mentor/Lake), there's a great bakery (Euro Pane) and Lovebirds Cafe has decent sandwich options (but the lunch time rush can be ridiculous).
If you like Indian, there's a couple Indian buffet options (Rahdika's (Between Lake/Mentor and Cordova/Green) on a little street/alley called Shopper's Lane). There's also one upstairs by PresidentTwo - but I can't recall the name.... New Dehli, perhaps?
If you go south on Lake, you'll find more food options (Wheatberry (great sandwiches)), Zono Sushi (good lunch specials)... a little further down (Lake/Del Mar) is Corner Bakery (sandwiches/salads)..
Some so-so Mexican chain options: Sharkey's is the best, IMO (on Cordova, just west of Lake) - there's also a Rubio's (on Lake) and a Baja Fresh (on Del Mar, just east of Lake) - if you are into that kind of thing.
Oh! and just so you can weigh in on the heavily debated Pie n' Burger, check it out as well -- (on California, just east of Lake).
That should keep you busy for awhile. If you are looking for anything in particular, let us know!
If you want a burger or chicken sandwich - that type of thing - your best bet in the area is Tops, which is located on the SW corner of Walnut (one major street N. of Colorado) and Allen (next major street east of Hill). Fantastic onion rings and fried zucchini. Burgers are the thin, charbroiled variety. They also have chicken sandwiches, burritos, etc.
Definitely better than McDonald's, Burger King, etc.
You probably noticed the Tommy's on Hill, north of Colorado.
I second the rec for Zankou. Probably the closest, best, cheapest option.
Go a couple blocks east on Colorado and you'll find a place called Big Mama's & Papa's pizza. Big slices of thin-crust pizza, that's a lot better than you would expect. Seems like a good lunch option.
There's a Thai place directly across the street from PCC that isn't bad. Not the best in the area, but certainly convenient.
Slightly more than a 5-minute drive, but no more than 10, you'll find a huge Whole Foods Market at the corner of Foothill & Rosemead (take 210 east to Rosemead North exit).
Whole Foods has a tremendous prepared foods section; they do nice sandwiches to order; and all kinds of other stuff. There's a really nice variety of things to choose from. I think you could make it there, get something, bring it back and eat it in less than an hour.
Mediterranean Cafe has really good kebabs and is inexpensive. No decor, just good food. Go west on Del Mar and turn right into the parking lot just before getting to Lake St (where Baja Fresh is). The place is two doors in, next to the Mission Art School and Wahoo's.
re: monkuboy
Is this the place where the proprietor is a bit of a grouch, won't serve any food 15 minutes before he closes, has the lights off, the chairs on the tables, and sweeps right under the feet of the patrons at the outdoor patio 10 minutes before closing?
If so, the place is ok, but Zankou wins hands down in my opinion. There is no other place that does garlic sauce like they do! Just had their leftovers for lunch. Mmmmm.
re: Sasha
That's the place. It closes at 8:00 p.m. The food is really good however. I get the combo steak & chicken kabob or the groud beef & chicken kabob. Its not on the menu but just ask for it. They serve it with hummus, a nice feta salad and good rice pilaf.
The place is, in my humble opinion, better than Zankou.
The owner is kinda rude the closer it gets to closing. I suspect he has a hottie waiting for him somewhere.
I would add Brit's the the list. A few blocks east of PCC on Colorado. They have best fish and chips in the area.
Two quite adequate Mexican joints are Amigos, at Colorado and Wilson, and Lupita's, in the strip mall on the NE corner of Colorado and Sierra Madre. The latter has I think better food, and is cheaper (and much plainer). Check out their dark-roasted salsa. There's also Rosarita's at Craig and Walnut (next door to In-N-Out), which I've heard raves about from Latino co-workers but have not yet tried.
There's a Hamburger Hamlet, if you like those, on Lake between Cordova and Del Mar, and Green Street Cafe in the block north of that, both accessible from Shopper's Lane. HH actually has some decent stuff - I love their fish and chips, and the Cajun burger - and GS is pretty good if pricey for lunch, though I'll never try dinner there again.
Oh, and speaking of fish and chips, Brit's at 1770 E. Colorado is supposed to have the best around, though I've yet to test that assertion.
Paring down the options to the only ones I actually enjoy (some have been mentioned by others):
Across the street is Haidar Baba which has passable Persian food.
Here's a curveball: the taco truck on the Caltech campus (Ernie's)- different locations - is excellent and cheap with a huge menu - both Mex and American and all of it well made.
Easy Walking distance:
West on Colorado:
Zankou Chicken: fast, cheap, and very tasty
Andy's Coffee Shop: straight-forward diner food, good breakfast.
Europane: maybe the best bakery in LA. Prices aren't cheap but then go to an inferior bakery in the westside and it is a bargain.
President 2 (Two): best Thai food in Pasadena - and they deliver.
Longer Walks: Lake Avenue
Zono Sushi: perfectly adequate with reasonable lunch specials
Mediterranean Cafe: yeah the guy is grinchy but the food is good
if topps suits your fancy, you can do better and drive a little further east to lee's hoagie house on colorado just before sierra madre (the actual cross street is roosevelt). all the stuff is good (i think the number of police cars you see there over the course of the day is a good indicator) - but try the chicken hoagie - and get their number - you can call ahead and ask for pickup.
similarly, it's a little bit farther drive, but after you try it once, you'll want to call ahead and get one of the fish taco plates (i'm partial to the sea bass, but the lamb is good too) at gerlach's grill at the corner of fair oaks & glenarm. i live 3 miles away on the other side of PCC and it's usually ready just about when i get there. the only problem is if you eat the whole meal you'll probably go into food coma in the afternoon - i'm a big eater but the three tacos, rice & salad for only $6 fills me up.
if you like zankou but get tired of it, you might try a little place at the NE corner of villa & allen, can't remember the name, i think they're still there, but the proprietors are armenian, and the style is a bit... earthier for want of a better way to describe it.
i'm not so impressed with zono sushi, IMO the one in glendale is a lot better.
brits is OK, nice change of pace.
but that chicken hoagie at lee's (along with the complimentary homemade pickles) is awfully good.
thanks a mil for the recommendations - you all rock, i live mere blocks from a zankou in HW so i'm well acquainted with their food already. tried med deli based on everyone's advice here last weekend though, and it was delicious. looking forward to either brit's or europane this weekend, i've actually been meaning to try europane anyway and had no idea it was that close until several people recommended it!
much obliged...

Yanks walk off to seventh straight winBy
The standings might say that these are meaningless games, but the Yankees aren't acting like it. They started to surge last week by taking two of three from the Angels in Anaheim and haven't let off the accelerator, even after clinching everything. Early last night it looked as if they'd let up a bit, but they mounted yet another late-inning comeback to steal a win from the Kansas City Royals.
The Royals staged the first rally, in the top of the seventh, though it had more to do with Phil Coke than the Kansas City offense. He came with a man on first and one out, to face Alex Gordon, Josh Anderson, and Mitch Maier, three weak-hitting lefties. For Coke, a guy who's faced tight situations in meaningful games, it should have been a cakewalk. It was anything but.
Alex Gordon bunted the first pitch back to Coke, but the latter hung on too long and allowed Gordon to reach and Mark Teahen to reach second. Anderson handed Coke instant atonement with a bouncer right to him, but Coke again muffed the play, this time throwing way behind Derek Jeter and into center. Teahen scored and the Royals had runners on second and third with one out.
The lead lost, Coke got ahead of Maier 0-2, and again got a grounder right back to him. Gordon had already broken for home, but Coke paid no mind. He fired over to first as if there were two outs. The announcers couldn't believe it, the crowd couldn't believe it, and the replay showed that Molina couldn't believe it. Coke had three consecutive plays and managed to botch each one. What should have been an easy appearance turned into a two-run deficit.
Had the game any real meaning, maybe Coke wouldn't have even been in. Girardi pulled A.J. Burnett after recording the first out of the seventh and having thrown 108 pitches. It was one of A.J.'s better performances. He allowed six baserunners, but kept the Royals at bay with his favorite weapon, the curveball. It helped him strike out eight. With 6.1 innings of one-run ball, three walks, three hits, and eight strikeouts, I'd say Burnett had himself a fine game.
The Yankees used four pitchers last night, and Coke was the standout disappointment. Dave Robertson came out for the eighth and retired the first two batters he faced, including one strikeout, before walking the third batter. That was apparently his limit, as Girardi went with Bruney to finish things off. He allowed a hit and walked a guy, but also fanned two Royals and didn't allow a run to score. He also had the benefit of Jerry Hairston, who turned a pop up bunt into a double play, teaching rookie Josh Anderson a lesson that will stick with him.
The story of the ninth inning dates back to Sunday. Trey Hillman's team was up 4-1 against the Twins, and Zack Greinke was in line for the win. Instead of taking a chance with one of his unpredictable setup men, Hillman went to closer Joakim Soria for two. It paid off, but after 46 pitches Soria apparently needed a few days off. He surely wasn't available last night, given Hillman's decisions.
Taking the hill to preserve the one-run lead was Kyle Farnsworth. Signed to replace Tom Gordon in 2006, Farnsworth was a disaster from the start. Only when he hit a streak of semi-reliability were the Yanks able to deal him, in a contract swap with the Tigers for Pudge Rodriguez. Both players were horrible to finish out the year, but that didn't stop Royals GM Dayton Moore from handing Farnsworth a two-year, $9 million contract. Had he waited, he could have had Fanrnsworth for a song later that winter.
With one out in the ninth, Frankie Cervelli bounced one back up the middle. It was out of Farnsworth's reach, and Alberto Callaspo couldn't get a handle on it. Eric Hinske pinch hit for Ramiro Pena, and it looked like he wanted the walk-off right there, putting his home run swing on the first pitch but missing. As Farnsworth is apt to do, he missed with the next two pitches and then gave Hinske something he could hit. The ball landed in right, and Cervelli hustled to third. The walk-off was already in the air.
For a guy who can't hit with runners in scoring position, Robinson Cano sure has driven in a lot of runs lately. After a grand slam last night he got another chance in a tight spot — tight, at least, in the context of this one game. He unloaded on a 3-0 pitch, but just missed. It was deep enough to score Cervelli and tie the game, though. Blown save, Farnsworth.
The last thing the team wanted last night was to go into extra innings. Everything's clinched. They'd already used a ton of their bench players. I'm sure the regulars just wanted to get on with it. Eric Hinske must have felt that vibe. Otherwise, why would he have have tried to steal second with two outs? Not only did he make it, but he also scampered into third on an errant throw.
The Royals decided they'd rather face Juan Miranda than Johnny Damon, but at that point it didn't seem to matter. The Yanks were walking off with that win one way or another. Miranda hit a grounder back to Farnsworth, but it was just hard enough to bounce off the pitcher's shins and into foul territory. The Yanks swarmed from the dugout just as Miranda touched first, and the Yankees had recorded their 15th walk-off victory.
That was a lot of writing for a meaningless game, eh? Well, sometimes big things happen in the least likely games. Coke's blunders, A.J.'s solid performance, the late-inning heroics. It added up to another quality game in a time when they're supposed to be boring. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 Yankees: the team that can make even the most drab game a thriller.

Stat of the night for everyone: In the entire 2009 season there was one homestand where the NYY didnt have a walkoff win
that's absurd. Which stretch of games was it?
beginning of June vs the Rangers and the Rays. Couple 8th inning comebacks in that stretch though.
A few things-
-Coke pitched well despite fielding poorly. Good to see.
-Bruney and Robertson made this morning's post look good.
-Is Molina going to catch AJ in October?
Is Molina going to catch AJ in October?
And furthermore, no freakin' way.
part of pitching well, imo is…ummm…fielding your position. Which Coke did not do…at all! 1 mistake and can live with it. 2 mistakes you start getting a little mad. By the time you get a comebacker and don't check the runner back to 3rd….its to the "get off the field" stage!
i think Bruney is doing all he can to get on the roster…is it too late for him to make it? idk…but probably. Robertson's FB had life…it was very good. His curve ball…not so much…but you knew that was going to be the case.
as for molina…i don't care if posada is on his damn death bed…under no circumstances would i start jose molina in a playoff game.
I assume that after his first mistake it got in his head and just snowballed from there.
In Robertson's defense, he was on the mound for the first time in a long time, with his playoff spot at stake, and focused on his elbow. A tad distracted? You bet.
One mistake begets others, as is often the case.
And when you are striking out an INSANE 13.39 K/9 and a have a STOOPID .49 FB/GB ratio, when do you ever have the opportunity to field anything?
"-Is Molina going to catch AJ in October?"
If that's what it takes to get him to perform, then I certainly hope so. Nobody influences a baseball game more than the man on the mound, and that's not even debatable.
No thanks, A.J. can get going just fine with Posada back there. Plus, you get Posada who is 1000 times the hitter Jose Molina is. A.J. will be pitching to Posada if Girardi is smart:
Yeah, this.
Molinas defense doesnt outweigh his crap bat
Actually they're acting like these are meaningless games but they're so good, they still win.
102>>>1? Maybe. Even though it is seemingly meaningless, it feels good to win.
I almost felt bad for Kyle. heh, looking back, I'm not surprised my favorite Farnsy memory is my boy Melky's catch to rob ManRam.
He knew how to throw the ball straight and give up the fly. That's why I was confused tonight when he was throwing a 2 seamer with mad movement at 94 mph. That's not something I remember.
My main concern heading into October:
JD needs to get his shit together. I think he will, and it's important that he does, he's our two hitter and we need him.
Lastly, wtf Coke?
BTW Drew, regarding your last post in the spillover thread:
Not only did that ball hit the netting, a fan touched it first. I'm pretty sure at least (I was running to the subway today and my glasses fell onto the track, so I'm kind of blind right now).
KC deserves to lose 100 games for giving Farnsworth, Cruz, Yabuta and Bloomquist a combined 24.25m.
Don't forget Betancourt and Jacobs.
This is why small market teams cant complain. if they made better decisions they would be much better off.
Why wouldnt they take that 30 mill and sign Abreu for 6, Dunn for 10, Hudson for 3, and Wolf for 5? and you still got money to play with to improve
My question is will we have more wins than Washington has losses?
We will. The Nats will definitely lose that "race too," even though we are 1 game behind after tonight.
end quotation placement fail
"that's okay"
With all the walk offs, I want to put together a "music video" with all the walk offs+celebrations+pies.
doooooooo ittttttt
Will you include the walk off pop-up?
He should. That was a great moment.
do it, it would be awesome.
I want to, but I'm having some trouble looking for the clips, I would like to include the walk off pop-up as well (since it IS a walk off).
Also…would it jinx the post game series if I made the video?
I'm also not that good at making videos, haha. But it'll be something I do as a fan.
Why must it be some kind of mock non-music video? Why not put together a real one?
Try using "Elevation" by U2 for your soundtrack.
Would using a song called "Gotta Believe" be too circa 2000 Mets-ish?
I love that we did it to Farnsworthless…wouldn't it have been grand if he had followed Scott Proctor and Tanyon Sturtze…
I got no bad feelings for Scotty Proctor. That guy is the man.
+Nick Swisher
I kinda felt bad for Farnsy but a walk-off made me forget it.
Which was a better hit, Miranda's walk off or that little boy knocking the other kid on his ass during the foam finger fight.
As for Farnsworth, I don't feel bad. I pulled for him when he was here but it was rough watching him most of the time. How many times in his career do you think he's said this in postgame interviews?
"2-0 pitch to Swisher" ha. That made me chuckle. He pissed me off to no end but he really wanted to help us win, it was evident when he found out he got traded. I don't have any ill-will towards the guy. His fastball was just too straight.
Yeah, that was about as 'busted' a rally as you'll ever see.
-Hinske throw to 2nd
-Cervelli's ball takes a crazy hop off the mound
-Miranda's ball goes off Kyle's leg for the win
Even the Hinske hit would have been an out if the 1B isn't holding the runner. Not blaming Hillman, that's playing by the book there being on the road and Cervelli being the tying run. But the luck involved in that inning was incredible.
farnsworth got what was coming to him. Good to see him get hit up
To all the people who took pleasure in Farnsworth's failure last night or somehow think of what happened to him last night as some sort of payback: Farnsworth may not have been successful in pinstripes, but it wasn't for lack of effort. He wanted to pitch well and it's not like the guy left the Yankees by choice, he was reportedly very upset about being traded away.
If a guy seems to lack effort/motivation or has some other problem, or chooses to leave the team you root for, I get the negative feelings. But this guy's only sin is that he didn't perform as well as we, and he, wanted. Holding some sort of grudge against someone like that is pretty weak.
heh you beat me by 1 minute!
I agree.
I dont know, he came here on a big contract, for a set up guy, and only positive thing people can say is that during a brawl we'd glad that he was on our team's side. I cant argue with anyone who doesnt wish him the best.
Eh. It's not his fault he got paid. Let's face it, if we won in October no one would hold such malice towards him. He only pitched 3 postseason innings with us and he didn't allow a run. I can't hate em, in 06 he actually pitched pretty well, the starters deserve the hate.
I agree with you that Farnsworth doesn't deserve the hate, but neither does anyone else. The '06 team didn't want to lose – they didn't lose because they didn't play hard enough. They just didn't succeed, but it had nothing to do with effort.
It's… let's say less than classy… to hold a grudge against someone who tries but doesn't succeed. If a guy comes to a team and stops exercising and his performance suffers because of it, or if he clearly dogs it on the field, or if he exhibits symptoms of emotional problems that lead to his suspension by his own team, or if he leaves a team and burns bridges on the way out… That's a guy I can see deserving some ire. But a guy whose only crime is that he just didn't live up to (unrealistic, but that's besides the point) expectations, not for lack of effort or motivation, deserves no ire.
You have a point.
That said, it doesn't take away the fluky, comical way the bottom of the ninth unfolded.
I was at last night's game. I had planned on leaving early, but ended up staying for the entire thing. It was fun to watch even if it was meaningless.
I was glad to see that things with Farnsworth have not changed. I would have hated to see him go elsewhere and be great.
I admit to being one of the "haters"..more a product of listening to broadcasters go on and on about his "stuff" than Kyle himself. That "stuff" may be great, but did me no good when his 98 mph fastball was either over the catchers head or sailing over the CF fence.
Why would anyone leave early with this team especially at home?
Because it is a meaningless Sept game vs the Royals.
Lets hope Coke cleans up those mental errors by next week. Mistakes like that can be very costly in a short series.
I was starting to turn around on Farnsworth around the time he was traded. I feel like was given more of a fair shake under Girardi than the previous Joe, and seemed to prosper in that environment.
Just think, if we hadn't had Posada go down last year, Farnsworth might still be in pinstripes…
Under what circumstance would Farsnworth be in pinestripes this year?
Who knows. He could have finished up strong and Girardi might have lobbied to keep him. I could see it.
Theres no way they would have resigned him.

Facts about RUDOLPH
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
RUDOLPH's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet adorable, little Rudolph! He is a 3 month old, neutered, calm and gentle little guy. He likes to be held and cuddled, he will just lay in your arms enjoying himself. Rudolph just came to Petsmart from foster care where he learned to use a scratching post, tolerate nail trimmings. He also is use to being around other cats, dogs and children too. Please come to Petsmart in Mantua to meet him.
Other Pets at Gloucester County Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
RUDOLPH, a Clayton Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Clayton, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Clayton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Clayton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Clayton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Clayton paves the way for another one to be saved.
