"He's like a rolling ball of butcher knives," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.
The Colts have the cuts to prove it.
In 12 games vs. the Colts, Jones-Drew has rushed for 1,212 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and nine touchdowns. His 13 touchdowns (nine rushes, three receptions, one kick return) are the most by one player against the Colts since 2006. Second is Houston's Andre Johnson with five touchdowns. Only Curtis Martin (109.7 yards per game) has done more rushing damage to the Colts than Jones-Drew (101 yards per game).
Consider this: Jones-Drew has 6,991 career rushing yards, so nearly a fifth (17 percent) have come against the Colts.
Some say Jones-Drew – a player Indy considered drafting in 2006 before selecting Joseph Addai – ended his contract holdout because he wanted to be sure to be in prime shape for Game 3 in Indianapolis on Sunday in Lucas Oil Stadium.
"The guy is who he is," Colts defensive end Cory Redding said. "You know he's going to get the ball at least 30-40 times so you just have to gear up, and when he's coming downhill the first guy to hit him must hold on and everybody else rally around."
Hitting Jones-Drew and rallying around him are easier said than done. He's that rare combination of solid and slippery, power and acceleration.
Jones-Drew carried 50 times for 283 yards in two games against the Colts, and the Jags won both games. While he missed training camp in a failed contract dispute, he has rushed 31 times for 137 yards in the first two games this seasons, losses to Minnesota and Houston.
The Colts defense, meanwhile, has shown some run-defense tenacity in dealing with Chicago's Matt Forte and Minnesota's Adrian Peterson in the first two games. The Colts have allowed 104.5 yards per game in two games, short of Pagano's goal of keeping opponents under 100 yards, but good enough to rank 14th in the league. That's not bad for a remodeled defense.
"The whole team's approach is different," Jones-Drew said of watching Colts' video. "Obviously, in the past it was to get to the (quarterback). Now their focus is to stop the run, be physical."
Pagano and defensive coordinator Greg Manusky both have been pleased by the Colts' progress as a defensive unit, but both feel there is ample room for growth. It's not a completely healthy unit yet, with Dwight Freeney questionable for Sunday and Pat Angerer still out with a broken foot.
The Jaguars (0-2) will likely predicate their offense on Jones-Drew's legs. Given the success Jones-Drew has had against Indy, Jacksonville would be foolish not to rely on him early and often to try to set up the rest of the offense, including quarterback Blaine Gabbert and wide receiver Laurent Robinson.
Pagano doesn't dispute slowing Jones-Drew is the top priority.
"We've got to gang-tackle this guy, but he's strong as heck and he breaks a ton of tackles, and he's quick and he's got good vision," Pagano said. "I said the one thing that's the same on all these backs is their ankles. So if you wrap him up, you slide down and you get his ankles and you get them together, you've got a good chance of bringing this guy down."
There are a lot of ifs in that assessment of slowing Jones-Drew.
The best thing the Colts have going for them is that this is an a new defensive scheme, with new players such as Redding and linebacker Jerrell Freeman (18 tackles vs. the Vikings last Sunday).
"One thing we'll harp on this week," Colts safety Antoine Bethea said, "is 11 guys have got to get to the ball."
Jones-Drew will have that football in his hands more often than not.
How far he goes with it could determine whether the Colts can win for a second week in a row.

A hotel in Hudson, N.Y. that advertises itself as a great option for weddings and gatherings has some hidden fine print: if you or your guests post a negative review of your stay online, you'll be charged $500.
The PR tactic totally backfired, since the Union Street Guest House's punitive online review policy has now been written up in the New York Post and Business Insider. And the wording of the policy is hilariously stuffy:
Please know that despite the fact that wedding couples love Hudson and our Inn, your friends and families may not. This is due to the fact that your guests may not understand what we offer - therefore we expect you to explain that to them. USGH & Hudson are historic. The buildings here are old (but restored). Our bathrooms and kitchens are designed to look old in an artistic "vintage" way. Our furniture is mostly hip, period furniture that you would see in many design magazines. (although comfortable and functional - obviously all beds are brand new.) If your guests are looking for a Marriott type hotel they may not like it here.
In other words, your idiot guests probably won't appreciate how nice this hotel is, since they are Marriott-loving philistines who don't understand "hip, period furniture" and "vintage" design. Therefore:
If you have booked the Inn for a wedding or other type of event anywhere in the region and given us a deposit of any kind for guests to stay at USGH there will be a $500 fine that will be deducted from your deposit for every negative review of USGH placed on any internet site by anyone in your party and/or attending your wedding or event. If you stay here to attend a wedding anywhere in the area and leave us a negative review on any internet site you agree to a $500 fine for each negative review.
Consider it a fine for having friends without a sophisticated understanding of modern antiques.
The hotel said it would refund the fine if the review was deleted, but guests/trolls are already flooding the Union Street Guest House's Yelp page to rage against the policy. The Union Street Guest House could not be immediately reached for comment.

Haridopolos fears a Dole '96 re-do; sitting on $2 million from Senate run
Florida Senate President Mike Haridpolos dropped by the P5 media room and we asked if he's settled on candidate. No, he said. But he's worried the campaign could be too focused on Barack Obama.
"I'm looking for the people who are going to push the party of better ideas," he said. "I've heard all the anti-Obama rhetoric and the back and forth. Yeah, ok, I don't want to see a re-do of the Dole '96 campaign. I want to see a candidate who is inspirational, a Ronald Reagan type model."
Haridpolos, who dropped out of the U.S. Senate race, said he's still sitting on a huge campaign account and flatly declared, "I'm going to keep it." He had to return the general election money but said most people have told them he should keep the primary cash, about $2 million.
So he's interested in running for Congress or the Senate in the future. "I think there will be some opportunities. .. I'm very interested in the future, but I will only have a future if I continue to perform well."
He acknowledged the buzz that he could run for Rep. Bill Posey's seat, should his friend retire, but demurred. "A lot of people have talked about a lot of things."

I did this procedure Exactly one year ago. Everything went ok. After the treatment your teeths are very sensitive (sometimes hard to tolerate) but it comes with the package. It works great. I saw a difference instantly after the treatment. I decide to do it because I wanted to have a whiter smile. If you're thinking on getting this done you must know that it will make your teeth very sensitive after treatment, other than that it's really worth it and everybody will notice the difference. I'm happy with the results. I have no complains other than the sensitivity but to me that's ok.

Most berries are grown in open fields, but growers are experimenting with protected agriculture.
"Like we see with other commodities, protected environments yield high quality and pristine looking fruit," said Nolan Quinn, berry category director for The Oppenheimer Group, Vancouver, British Columbia.
Quinn also said that time will tell if these experiments eventually become standard procedures.
"Some growers are trialing berries in greenhouses. It will be interesting to see if the return on investment makes it worthwhile," he said.
Matt Curry, president of Curry & Co., Brooks, Ore., agreed that the trend is gaining ground, although it's still a small percentage.
"The majority of berries are grown in open fields, although protected agriculture is a growing trend for berries," he said.
"The reasons for this growth is food safety concerns and regulations, of course, and also the ability to help protect crops from weather events such as rain."
However, these benefits come at a cost, according to Chloe Varennes, marketing manager for Gourmet Trading Co., Redondo Beach, Calif.
"Protected environments provide advantages in terms of early maturing and weather protection. However, it is quite expensive for most growers," Varennes said.
Quinn said there are also changes with regard to growing locations.
"There's a lot of excitement about new growing areas for blueberries, chiefly Mexico and Peru," Quinn said.
In addition, Quinn said varieties are constantly being refined and improved.
According to Eric Crawford, president of Fresh Results LLC, Sunrise, Fla., shippers also are experimenting with shipping and packaging options for imported blueberries.
"Growers and shippers are experimenting with exporting fruit in a bulk pack, instead of directly in the clamshells," he said.
As the market fluctuates, retailers prefer to keep a steady price per unit on their shelves, choosing to alter pack sizes instead of raising and lowering the price. Unfortunately with imported berries, shippers have to estimate what size packs will be needed before seeing what the market will do, which can result in the wrong size to match the market.
"If we're predetermining what the market will do, the fruit can come in large containers when the market needs smaller packs, or vice versa," Crawford said.
By shipping the berries in a bulk container, the fruit can be packed into the appropriate size clamshell once it reaches the U.S., allowing shippers to have a better estimate of what size retailers will want to use on their shelves.
"If we bring it into the country in bulk packs and then pack in whatever size the market demands, it gives customers a lot better opportunities," Crawford said.

RDU Downplays Security Breach, Plans to Review Procedures
Posted December 21, 2006
At an RDU Airport Authority meeting Thursday, airport director John Brantley commended the cleaning crew that apprehended the man but made no mention of possible holes in airport security.
"They spotted the gentlemen. They took him into their personal custody. They escorted him off the aircraft, and they called the police," Brantley said.
Gregory Scott Wester, 32, of 30 Old Mill Road in Fuquay-Varina, has been charged by RDU police with first-degree trespassing and possession of a controlled substance, authorities said. The FBI and the Transportation Security Administration also charged him with access to an aircraft without permission.
Authorities said Wester climbed a 7-foot-high, barbed wire fence at the perimeter of the airport and boarded an empty plane, where a cleaning crew found him at about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday and turned him over to police.
Some airport authority board members told WRAL that the security breach was cause for concern, but they agreed with Brantley's assessment that RDU's security system worked because Wester was arrested and no one was harmed.
But 4th District Congressman David Price called the breach "troubling." He said in a statement Thursday that security changes might be needed at the airport and others around the country.
"I understand that RDU and TSA will be investigating the incident in order to determine ways to prevent events such as this from occurring in the future," Price said. "I will be carefully monitoring these efforts to see what changes might be called for at RDU or airports around the country."
RDU spokeswoman Minday Hamlin said the airport is is constantly looking at ways to improve security. Officials already planned to update the security system for entry into some doors and gates and will now also look at whether changes should be made to the perimeter fencing.
"There are a lot of what-if scenarios that we can talk about," Hamlin said, calling security a daily fact of life at the airport.

Inhibition of VEGF signaling pathways. Several classes of drugs have been developed to combat VEGF-mediated tumor angiogenesis. Monoclonal anti-VEGF antibodies (e.g., bevacizumab) and soluble receptor constructs (e.g., VEGF-Trap) bind to the VEGF and PlGF preventing their interaction and signaling through VEGFR1 and VEGFR2. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) inhibit the intracellular tyrosine kinase activity of VEGF receptors, blocking downstream signaling.

This is a Whitefriars silver topped decanter, designed by Harry Powell hallmarked for 1906. It is dark green tapered with 4 dimples and an applied neck ring. The stopper is sterling hallmarked for London 1906 and a makers mark of JP&S for James Powell and Sons. It has a screw with a nut on on the inside to hold a cork in place that seals the bottle.
Anyone that collects Whitefriars will know this is my prize, silver topped Whitefriars decanters are incredibly rare. I bought this at an antiques fair in North London about 15 years ago for £9. Yes, I kid you not. Whilst handing over my tenner and waiting for my £1 change I almost exploded with excitment, as up until then I had only seen such things in museums.

To the Editor:
It's been difficult sitting on the sidelines and watching my husband, Gary Current, used as a campaign issue in this year's Osseo mayoral election. I guess I never considered Gary a menace to society and public enemy number one. If his "Wanted" poster appears at the post office, I hope someone will let me know.
All kidding aside, it saddens me to think that someone who has loyally served the Osseo community for almost three decades could be subjected to this public persecution. As an Osseo Fire Fighter and former Fire Chief, he has put his life on the line numerous times to help save residents, business owners and their properties in fires and severe storms. And he has been on countless medical calls to come to the aid of residents in their critical times of need.
Our Osseo Fire Fighters are servants and protectors of the community alongside local and state law enforcement, and they deserve our respect and gratitude, not harassment. Can you imagine holding an infant who has died of SIDS, or being physically blown across Main Street after an explosion in the Hance Hardware fire, or holding the hand of an elderly resident you've known your whole life as they say "I'm so glad you are here" before taking their last breath? They don't do this for fame, fortune, recognition, to climb some corporate ladder or be on the front page of the newspaper. They do it because they truly care about people; they are a light of hope and compassion in dark situations.
Do I consider Gary a saint? Of course not, he's my angel with a crooked halo and a huge heart. His loyalty to family, friends, his business and the Osseo Fire Department is limitless. He is the guy people can always count on for help. But like I said, Gary isn't perfect; he is subject to the frailties and shortcomings of our human condition, and as such he suffers from the disease of alcoholism.
What hasn't been shared at city council meetings or in the Osseo Press is the important part of Gary's story. HE'S IN RECOVERY AND HAS BEEN SOBER FOR OVER 2 YEARS! This is no minor accomplishment. The statistics are quite alarming. If 100 people try to get sober, about 5 percent of them will make it to 90 days sober… and of those who make it to 90 days sober, about 5 percent of THOSE people will make it to 2 years sober (spiritualriver.com). Gary is beating the odds one day at a time, and I am immensely proud of him! He puts his faith and trust in our loving and merciful God each and every day to help him maintain his sobriety.
Gary was blessed to be able to receive inpatient care at one of the nation's leading treatment centers, Hazelden in Center City. He was there for a month and had outpatient care for 12 weeks. He attends weekly AA meetings and the Celebrate Recovery Program at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Maple Grove, and he speaks to new patients regularly at the Maple Grove satellite location for Hazelden. He has the ongoing support of family, friends, local business owners, his business partner and their customers, his church family, the Osseo Fire Department and an amazing sponsor. Gary is as passionate about his sobriety as he is about the fire service. You may ask, but will he be sober forever, and my response to you would be, "We take it one day at a time."
It is my hope and prayer that Gary will be supported by the Osseo community as he continues to serve them as an Osseo Fire Fighter. My heartfelt thanks to those friends, local business owners, Osseo Fire, Police, and City Council Members who have reached out to him with a vote of confidence. He continues a family legacy of community service started by his parents, Wally and Maxine Current, many years ago and will hopefully continue to do so for a long time to come.
As Paul Harvey would say "And now you know the rest of the story."
P.S.: Gary and his parents approve this message.
Roxanne Current
Wife of Gary Current

Johannesburg -
Internet giant Google is threatening to sue a young entrepreneur from Middelburg in Mpumalanga because his website has a similar name, Beeld reported on Wednesday.
Andries Maree, 23, owns domain name Doogle.co.za, a website that allows employment seekers to upload their particulars free of charge.
Maree, who left school in Grade 8 to help support his family, lost his job two years ago. He sold newspapers for Beeld for a while, during which time he met a lot of unemployed people, and became inspired to create a database for them.
He taught himself software and programming skills by "playing around on websites".
On October 23, he received a warning letter from Google's lawyers, stating that the similar-sounding name could lead people to believe there was a collaboration agreement between the two companies.
Maree has denied the accusations and said he would be happy to place a notice on his website, dissociating himself from Google.
Maree's lawyer, Emmie de Kock, said they did not agree with Google, and were deciding how to proceed.
"This is a possible David and Goliath battle," she said. - Sapa
Updated 7pm:
Google's Sub-Saharan Africa office today released this statement:
"We can't comment on individual cases, but we are passionate about protecting the reputation of our brand as an objective and fair provider of search results. We simply ask our users not to shorten, abbreviate, or create acronyms out of Google trademarks. We have to turn down many requests for use of Google brand features because sites imply that Google is endorsing them or is otherwise affiliated with them."

Wall Street recklessness on rebound | Nov. 8, editorial
Losses will teach banks a lesson
The fall of MF Global under Jon Corzine's stewardship couldn't be a worse argument for more government regulation of the financial industry. More financial regulations will be written by people who are connected, smart and savvy. These are people with experience in politics and the profession — people like Jon Corzine. If these folks make such poor decisions when they could suffer direct personal consequences, why should we expect any better when they are in government with no skin in the game?
Instead of a nanny-state bureaucracy that purports to manages our lives for us and protect the bankers from themselves for their own good, I have a better idea: loss of capital. If creditors want to finance the gambling of brokerages like MF Global on investments various and sundry, let them. And if they lose their shirts doing so, let them do that too. Given a steady diet of consequences, prudence will become a lot more commonplace.
Almost everyone touched a hot stove when they were a child. How many of us did it twice?

Child sex abuse charges rock Penn State Nov. 6
Child welfare comes first
Pennsylvania, like Florida and most other states, has mandatory sexual abuse reporting for educators, health care workers and law enforcement officers.
Since reports of alleged sexual abuse were reported to supervisors at Penn State nearly 20 years ago, and nothing was done, it appears that numerous individuals, including legendary coach Joe Paterno and top university officials, might not have done their duty to report the abuse to either law enforcement or child protection workers. Just reporting it to your immediate supervisor is clearly not enough.
If any Penn State officials violated mandatory reporting laws, they should be indicted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, no matter who they are. Protecting children is more important than protecting a winning football team.

Decades with no progress | Nov. 8, letter
Pay earned, not distributed
First of all, income is not distributed like candy. It is earned. If you earn a good salary, you get paid a good salary. If you earn a poor salary, you get paid a poor salary. If someone "distributes" all the money fairly, how much would I get and would it be fair for my position?
Secondly, all Americans are not contributing to the growth of America. If that were true, we wouldn't be in such an economic crisis. Some choose to have the government pay for their needs. I find it ironic that the Occupy Wall Street crowd are now getting miffed that the homeless are muscling in. Now who are the haves are who are the have nots?

Eckerd group joins protest outside White House | Nov. 7
Look into group's funding
One line from this story interested me: "The transportation cost was picked up by the Eckerd student government as well as the organization behind TarSandsAction.org."
Granted it doesn't involve immigration documents that are 50 years old or dismissed sexual harassment charges from the 1990s, but perhaps the Times could fill in the blanks for its readers and shed some light on who this benevolent party might be.
Peter Clark, Tampa
Straight talk is missing
Isn't it about time that we had elected officials and, yes, even candidates for public office who don't have to "clarify" statements made on the previous day?
"What I really intended to say" (or mean) is getting to be the norm in the world of politics, and the constant backpedaling is becoming nauseating. It says to me that these wannabees just throw out thoughts, see how they are accepted (or not), and then go from there.
Are there no more Harry Trumans in our nation who can say what they mean and mean what they say?
Chuck Higgins, St. Petersburg
State Sen. J.D. Alexander
Senator has served well
I was taken aback by recent media coverage of State Sen. J.D. Alexander. It's easy for detractors to take potshots at politicians, especially those who hold the purse strings in particularly difficult economic times.
I can't imagine anything more difficult than crafting a state budget during our ongoing economic crisis, yet Alexander has gotten consistently high marks on his leadership each of the past three years he's done it. He has led his legislative colleagues to produce balanced budgets that manage to meet the state's most urgent priorities, despite enormous fiscal challenges.

Short on drugs, hospitals wary of 'gray market' | Nov. 7
Drug profit gravy train
This article on gray market drugs made me laugh (with tears in my eyes), particularly when various "health care" representatives were quoted about the shameful abuses of the gray marketeers, for example: "It's one thing to price-gouge gas … but it's another thing when we're talking about drugs."
Are these the same sensitive, fair-play people who, when you are captive in a hospital, charge $10 for an aspirin and a fortune for antibiotics that supermarkets provide free?
It seems that the offense taken is not in response to exorbitant pricing, but rather that the "gray marketeers" are invading the hospitals' turf for ripping off the people in need of these medicines.
Michael Schwartz, Dunedin

Reimagining the pledge
Here's a modified Pledge of Allegiance for our times:
I pledge allegiance to Grover Norquist, of the united supply-side economists of America, and to the Republicans with whom he stands, the wealthiest citizens of our nation, defiant of God's compassion, divisive, with liberty and justice for only those with the most money.

Glimpse of UAS research in GF
GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE — Part of the region's future in unmanned aerial systems is evolving behind the gates of Grand Forks Air Force Base.
"UAS aren't going to go away," base commander Col. Paul Bauman said. "They're here to stay and their uses are going to get broader."
Those gates opened Wednesday morning, and base staff welcomed a group consisting of the state Legislature's Economic Impact Committee, Grand Forks city leaders and others with UAS ties.
The group heard from staff members with a variety of roles in the base's UAS mission.
The base's focus on unmanned systems is another piece of the Grand Forks region's growing potential to lead the country in UAS research and development.
That potential was the first topic of the committee's morning meeting held before the group boarded a bus and headed to the base.
"The UAS industry is just taking off here," said Dana Sande, vice president of business development at the UND Aerospace Foundation. "We are poised to be leaders."
Pushing the envelope
While North Dakota's UAS research test site will assist the Federal Aviation Administration with shaping regulations for unmanned flight operations, the base also is contributing.
Grand Forks Air Force Base is home to three unmanned aerial system platforms. The first is the base's own Global Hawk mission. The other two platforms are managed by the U.S. Border Patrol and the National Guard.
The diversity of UAS flying through its airspace sets Grand Forks Air Force Base apart from other bases, according to its staff.
"There is no other location in the U.S. where multiple UAS can fly concurrently," said Staff Sgt. Obed Salazar.
Add the fact that the base's airspace remains unrestricted a majority of the time because 90 percent of its air traffic comes from the University of North Dakota's flight school, and the situation becomes even better.
"No other base is doing this," according to Lt. Col. Jon Castellanos, who oversees the base's airfield. "No other base is pushing the envelope. No other base is flying multiple UAS platforms in unrestricted airspace."
The UAS research at the base and test site would provide guidance in setting departure and arrival procedures for unmanned aircraft nationwide. The FAA is required to integrate unmanned systems into national airspace by September 2015.
Grand Sky
While on the base, legislators also were able to stand on the future site of Grand Sky, an unmanned systems business and research park.
The development is the result of an enhanced-use lease between the base and Grand Forks County.
Rent payments would stay at the base, reducing its operating budget, said Terry Sando, UAS sector senior manager with the Grand Forks Region Economic Development Corp.
The 217-acre development would require an estimated $300 million in infrastructure investment in the next decade.
Its first buildings are expected to be completed in the summer of 2015. Offices, hangars, data centers, repair shops and other facilities would be located within about 1.2 million square feet of space.
Grand Sky is expected to create 2,000 to 3,000 high-paying technology jobs. It presents an opportunity to keep UAS graduates from nearby UND and Northland Community & Technical College in the region, Sando said.
Numbers provided by UND show the number of students majoring in unmanned systems has increased from seven in spring 2010 to 134 in fall 2013.
"Students are being snatched up as fast as they are graduating," Sando said.
The average starting salaries for jobs in the development are estimated at $50,000 to $130,000.

What is abuse? Four broad categories of child abuse exist: physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and neglect.
Knowing the signs of abuse is key; child abuse can sometimes be difficult to see unless you are mindful of it. Negative changes in behavior, a decline in school performance, unhealthy changes in eating or sleeping habits, poor hygiene, increased difficulty in concentration or inappropriate sexual behaviors are all signs of possible abuse. Even changes in clothing, i.e. too little or too many clothes for the weather, are signs to pay attention to.
Of the four categories of abuse, Mendocino County encounters the most incidents of neglect. Neglect is the failure to provide a minimum standard of care for a child's physical and emotional needs. Physical signs of neglect can be seen in the child's lack of hygiene, lack of supervision, constant hunger and/or the child's parenting of siblings. Emotional signs could include learning problems, an extreme willingness to please and a watchfulness as though waiting for something bad to happen.
For more information, go to http://mendocinokids.org and http://www.cdss.ca.gov/cdssweb/PG93.htm
The important thing to remember when faced with a situation where you must make the decision to report child abuse or not to report is to listen carefully to the child. When listening, allow the child to tell their story in their words without interpretation. It is important not to lead a child into affirming the listener's assumptions.
Where to report? 9-1-1 is the first number to call if the child is in immediate danger. Law enforcement works closely with Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Family and Children's Services to ensure the child's immediate safety. The Family and Children's Services Toll Free Crisis Number or Hotline is 866-236-0368.
What to report:
Name of birth parents or guardian; Date of birth for parents and children; Address of parents and children; School in which the children attend; Articulate the safety issue (What are you worried about? What is the parent or guardian doing or not doing that is causing the child harm?); When the safety issued occurred and how often; Name, date of birth, and location if possible, of the person who is causing the hurt or harm.
What happens? If the child is in immediate danger, law enforcement and/or a Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Family and Children's Services Social Worker assess and determine if the family situation warrants placement of a child into a safe environment when danger is imminent.
When Family and Children's Service is contacted regarding concerns for a child's safety and well-being, a referral is taken. Supervisory level staff members determine if the referral is immediate, to be addressed within 10 days or if the referral does not rise to the level of abuse.
How could a Social Worker Supervisor make the determination of what rises to the level of abuse? A process called "Structured Decision Making" allows the Supervisor to determine the level of risk and involvement to ensure every child is protected. Structured Decision Making is a statewide tool involving three computerized assessments: Hotline, High Risk Assessment and the Safety Assessment. Beyond these assessment tools, Social Workers meet regularly with staffing groups including Supervisors and Managers to discuss the risk and challenges of their referrals.
If the referral has been determined to rise to the level of abuse, a Social Worker is assigned. The Social Worker is responsible for an investigation of the alleged abuse and will interview all parties including the children.
When a Social Worker engages with a family in crisis, the primary concern of the work involves the development and creation of a Safety Plan for the child. In some cases, that plan involves placing the child into protective custody. Studies have shown that the health and well-being of the child are more likely to rebound if they remain in what is familiar to them. Social Workers, in low risk assessments, will attempt to keep the child with what is familiar by placing them as close to their home as possible. The involvement of extended family members, friends and neighbors allows the child to be placed in a safe environment. This important step also provides a crucial network of support and accountability for the parents.
Using the structure and processes of a discipline called Safety Organized Practice, a formal Safety Plan is developed. With the help of the natural support system within their immediate and extended family and friend network, the Plan also uses the formal support systems found within the HHSA organizational resources and community agencies. The Safety Plan is developed with the family to ensure that all agreed upon resources will help everyone overcome the barriers to a safe environment for the child.
Some of these barriers are called "complicating factors." Complicating factors are the obstacles that stand in the way of healthy relationships and that can create overwhelming hardships for the family members. Complicating factors are those which indirectly influence the environment of the family, but do not directly impact the child. These barriers may include a lack of parenting skills, anger management, alcohol or drug abuse, mental health issues, financial hardship, unemployment, etc. The Social Worker is able to build a multidisciplinary team of subject matter experts from within HHSA and/or community agencies to engage the family and resolve these factors.
The end result is highly dependent upon the family, but the planning, forethought and collaboration of trained professionals within Family and Children Services, throughout the Health and Human Services Agency and in the community agencies provides the resources needed for a successful migration to family health. Safety Organized Practice and the auxiliary work that helps to resolve or remove the complicating factors leading to abuse provide a sophisticated engagement process in child welfare. While there are always improvements to be made, the process is well worth recognition as an extremely valuable practice positively affecting children, families and our community as a whole.

text: I see a lot of conjecture regarding Casserly on this board and to be honest, I'm not sure where I stand. At face value, it looks as if Casserly has done a poor job, but there are a few things that keep popping up in my head. Steve Foley -- A Casserly acquisition. He showed flashes here and there, but on balance, did nothing while he was here. I have heard that he wanted to remain in Houston, but the team did not want to re-sign him. So Casserly takes the blame for acquiring him and for letting him go. But the guy did nothing while he was here. So which was the wise decision? The fact that he went elsewhere and made the Pro Bowl pretty much tells me that this team was misusing him, thus putting Casserly in a poor position to make a fair assessment. I don't know the full story and I am probably missing parts, so fill me in. Kenny Wright -- this was a guy that I was excited about, personally. After playing pretty solid nickel, he came in for an injured Aaron Glenn and made two picks in one game, one of which was a sweet over-the-shoulder catch. If only our WRs could do that ... but I digress. Anyway, this was a Casserly acquisition and a Casserly release. I understand the reason he was let go is the coaching staff felt better about Faggins. Wright is now filling in for the Jags and doing pretty well. I doubt he'll make the Pro Bowl anytime soon, but he can be a solid contributor. In the end, he was let go because the coaching staff felt like Faggins was a better option. Casserly's fault? Marlon McCree -- acquired by Casserly in response to the gaping hole we had at FS named Matt Stevens. He came in, took the job after a few weeks, and played well for most of 2003. Then the team moved Coleman to FS and McCree was left in the cold. I specifically asked Capers on one of his SR610 shows why they wouldn't consider putting Coleman at CB for nickel situations and playing McCree at FS last year, and was told that the team felt that Faggins was a better option in those situations. McCree is now playing for the Panthers and doing pretty well. Again, he probably won't make the Pro Bowl anytime soon, but he's a solid contributor on a team that may very well go to the Super Bowl. Casserly's fault? Jeff Posey -- this guy had a pretty good season for us, registering 8 sacks, I believe, and then went to the Bills. I don't know much of this story at all, so fill me in please. Clark Haggins -- this LB evidently tried out for us, but was passed on, for whatever reason. Does anyone know whose decision it was to pass on him? Or why he was not signed? He's done very well in Pittsburgh. Babin -- a Casserly acquisition, had a pretty decent rookie year while transitioning to LB. From comments elsewhere by Casserly, players that are switching positions from college are completely signed off on by the coaching staff. Babin has not performed this season, but we don't know how much is due to the shoulder injury and how much is due to performance issues. There's clearly potential here, but it hasn't panned out yet. How much of this decision falls on Casserly? The draft picks given up were a steep price, but if Babin turns out to be the player that Capers claimed he can be at the time, then it's worth it. Why is Babin not living up to that hype? Buchanon -- I don't know the whole story on this, but we gave up a fair bit to get him. His tackling has put him square in the sights of Texans fans, but my personal opinion is that his coverage skills are limited by the lack of pass rush and our scheme. That's just a feeling, however. Clearly, he would have to be a solid #2 CB on this team for years to come in order to justify the picks given up for him. How much of his performance issues are on him versus playing in this scheme, however? And how much of the original decision was Capers versus Casserly? (I lean Casserly) Seth Wand -- drafted by Casserly, presumably at the behest of Capers, after coaching him in the Sr. Bowl. His rookie year metrics were comparable to Pitts' metrics in his rookie season, yet he's received nowhere close to the vote of confidence that Pitts has gotten. Why? If Pendry is the one keeping him inactive, that's Capers' guy. If Capers is the one keeping him inactive, well ... Capers is the one who wanted him drafted and was supposed to develop him, no? This has gone down as a wasted 3rd round pick by Casserly, but I see way more fault on the coaches for this than I do with Casserly. There are more, but I deliberately left out Carr and Boselli. For the purposes of keeping this thread focused, please leave those two topics out of it. They've been beaten to death and we can all agree to disagree for this thread on those two acquisitions. I see a lot of talk about Casserly needing to just make solid, non-flashy picks, but some of the ones I mentioned above fit that bill perfectly. I am trying to weed through how much Casserly has failed at his job and how much this coaching staff has ruined player production, thus making it impossible to fairly evaluate the GM position. I understand the position that they both should go because they share responsibility, and that's fine, but for purposes of this discussion, I am almost making the assertion that this coaching staff is primarily responsible for the current problems. Discuss, keep it clean, and thanks in advance for the opinions and info

Are You Worried About Our Children? [VIDEO]
With the current state of affairs here in our country, it gets me a bit worried about our future. Not so much for myself, but for the future generations. Will they enjoy the prosperity that my generation has had?
Whether you're a Democrat or Republican is not really the issue. I am very concerned that our country is moving toward more of a Socialist society. More people are dependant on the government for their food stamps, welfare checks and the free cheese. Don't get me wrong, I am all for helping out those who are truly in need. I think there's a lot of folks who just want to sit back and collect their free stuff.
I am worried that the U.S. is not the manufacturing giant that we used to be. We don't make the products that other countries want to buy. Instead, we are buying most of our stuff from China. It really scares me that my grandchildren will be working to pay off our debt with the Chinese.
I am not trying to be a "Johnny Downer", but I believe our country is in serious trouble. A friend of mine sent me this video that I would like you to watch. It's only one minute long, but I hope you will take a minute out of your day to watch it. After you check it out, please give us your thoughts. Thanks!

Reimbursing for the costs of teaching and research in finnish hospitals: A stochastic frontier analysis
In this study stochastic frontier cost function was used to estimate the teaching and research costs of Finnish hospitals. Predicted efficiency adjusted costs were calculated and compared to evaluate the current level of teaching and research reimbursement. The efficiency adjustment had significant impact on the marginal and average cost estimates of the teaching and research output. The results suggest that the average rate of teaching and research reimbursement should be approximately 14.6% of the total operating costs in university teaching hospitals. The main finding was that the university teaching hospitals were underfunded with respect to both research and teaching output. Copyright Springer Science + Business Media, Inc. 2006

Each time setting up a project like "mysite" (by default), the name of the folder requires an adaption of the global variable $project to what the name of the folder is - like "mysite => $project = "mysite". For me it's kind of incomprehensible to that every time, even though in many cases there is only one project :-)
what if the core deployment of __config.php for a project/module (mysite) looks like:
global $project;
$project = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
Wouldnt that makes sense? So there will be no need to adapt the __config.php file anymore. of course setting up locales, themes for instance - sure...but isnt that a easier way?

Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia — lung inflammation usually caused by infection. Legionnaires' disease is caused by a bacterium known as legionella.
You can't catch legionnaires' disease from person-to-person contact. Instead, most people get legionnaires' disease from inhaling the bacteria. Older adults, smokers and people with weakened immune systems are particularly susceptible to legionnaires' disease.
The legionella bacterium also causes Pontiac fever, a milder illness resembling the flu. Separately or together, the two illnesses are sometimes called legionellosis. Pontiac fever usually clears on its own, but untreated legionnaires' disease can be fatal. Although prompt treatment with antibiotics usually cures legionnaires' disease, some people continue to experience problems after treatment.

Trust me, you are not more passionate about running then I am. Who cares about a PR streak? It means absolutely nothing. You should care about improving over time and have a bigger goal in mind. I use races all the time as training runs or to test current fitness. And I also know that every race that I truly race won't be a PR. As a result, I will hit my goals because I am not afraid of failing.
You seem to make up a lot of excuses.
Ah, you gotta love internet trolls.
I normally hate emoticons but I will make an exception for this one.

text: German automaker Daimler has added a new level to the out of office email. Staffers can set up an auto responder that lets senders know that they are out of the office on vacation. But rather than having the employee return to an inbox full of email, the software automatically deletes any messages that are delivered while they are away. The idea is to keep employees from checking email while they are on vacation and to allow them to return from their trip refreshed, and without an overflowing inbox to dig through.

FORT MEADE, Md. — An Army doctor who disobeyed orders to deploy to Afghanistan because he questioned President Barack Obama's eligibility to be commander in chief was sentenced by a jury Thursday to six months in a military prison and dismissal from the Army.
The military jury spent nearly five hours deliberating punishment for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin after three days of court-martial proceedings at Fort Meade, outside Baltimore.
Lakin, a 17-year veteran from Greeley, Colo., was convicted of disobeying orders — he had pleaded guilty to that count — and missing a flight that would have gotten him to his deployment. An Army commander, Maj. Gen. Karl Horst, still has to approve the sentence returned by the jury. Upon approval of the sentence, Lakin is granted an automatic appeal that would be considered by the Army Court of Criminal Appeals. He was to begin serving his sentence immediately.
In online videos posted on YouTube, Lakin aligned himself with the so-called "birther" movement that questions whether Obama is a natural-born citizen, as the Constitution requires for presidents.
But Lakin said Wednesday that despite his questions about Obama's eligibility for office, he was wrong not to follow Army orders. He asked to keep his job and said he was now willing to deploy.
"I don't want it to end this way," Lakin told the jury Wednesday under questioning from his lawyer. "I want to continue to serve."
The military prosecutor, Capt. Philip J. O'Beirne, told the jury Thursday that Lakin had other options, such as resigning or asking not to be deployed, if he had issues with his orders. Instead, he used his deployment earlier this year as a political ploy.
Officials in Hawaii say they have seen and verified Obama's original 1961 birth certificate, which is on record with that state.

FORECAST: A few snow showers today for New Year's Eve Day
Mon, 31 Dec 2012 09:23:57 GMT —
Check out the latest weather forecast for Mid-Michigan, Flint, Saginaw, Bay City, Midland from NBC25 Meteorologist Jason Adams.
Happy New Year's Eve! Our forecast today will feature a bit of cloudiness and a few snow showers as a cold front moves in later this afternoon. This front does not have a lot of moisture with it, so accumulations are not expected. It does have a lot of cold air with it though, so after highs climb to 34º today, expect overnight lows to fall into the mid teens. Around midnight, the temperature will fall into the upper teens and low 20s, with wind chills in the upper single digits and low teens. Bundle up!! It'll be a cold one!

New Conservation Initiatives In The 2002 Farm Bill
The role of agri-environmental programs has taken on increased importance in the current Farm Bill debate with an eighty percent increase in Title II funding. However, little empirical evidence exists on the tradeoffs between economic costs and environmental benefits of new agri-environmental programs to assist policymakers in their designs. This paper illustrates some of the budgetary and environmental issues inherent in these initiatives. Several policy options are explored using an environmental simulation model and an economic spatial-equilibrium model for U.S. agriculture. Results indicate abatement levels of nitrogen and pesticides are higher under performance-based policies and those for wind erosion and soil productivity are higher under practice-based policies. Abatement of phosphorus discharge, soil erosion and carbon sequestration remains relatively constant regardless of policy type. A national performance-based conservation policy funded at the $1 billion level has the potential to improve the environmental performance of U.S. farmers by as much as ten percent.

The Lodge Logic Barbecue Grill Grate is perfect as a portable camp grate to take to the beach or woods on your next outing. The Lodge Logic Barbecue Grill Grate is great for preparing fish, other meats, and veggies that tend to fall through the slots of other grills. As with all Lodge Logic cast iron products, the Barbeque Grill Grate comes pre-seasoned with soy based vegetable oil to provide a non stick surface.

Fast shipping & grill grate was exactly as ordered. Thank you!
Used the Lodge BBQ Grill Grate on top of the fixed grate of a public campground fire pit. It worked great and the meat was cooked on a clean surface. Nothing beats cast iron. Sprayed the grate with some Pam before use and that seemed to help with clean up. Very happy with this product and Austin Canoe and Kayak.

WASHINGTON – A new Congress usually means a game of musical chairs with committee assignments and this time, DFL U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar has come out holding the top slot on the Senate Judiciary Committee's Antitrust Subcommittee.
In addition to overseeing the work of the Department of Justice's antitrust enforcers, the subcommittee also oversee the Federal Trade Commission and reviews the state of competition in various industries.
Before this subcommittee, Klobuchar had chaired another panel with oversight over the federal court system.
High-profile hearings in the last Congress helped scuttle a planned merger between AT&T and T-Mobile.
Fellow Minnesota Sen. Al Franken, also a Democrat, keeps his top slot on a subcommittee that looks at the relationship between law and technology.

If you're unfortunate enough to suffer an urgent general surgical problem, you'll be pleased to know that Bath's Royal United Hospital is speeding up the process of making you better.
Urgent general surgical problems may include conditions such as appendicitis, gallstones, hernias, abscesses and pancreatitis.
A new urgent clinic - called the Emergency Surgical Ambulatory Clinic (ESAC) - has been designed for patients suffering from these problems so that they can be seen, assessed, diagnosed and operated on as 'one-stop-shop', which avoids unnecessary hospital admissions and lengthy inpatient stays.
The RUH says, to its knowledge, it is the first hospital nationally to be managing emergency surgical patients in this way.
Emergency general consultant surgeon Sarah Richards, who leads the service, said: "The traditional process was that patients come in, investigations are ordered, there's a queue, and then a further wait for a decision.
"If an operation is needed, there's a further wait for that to be booked and a risk of cancellation, if something more urgent needs to take priority.
"The new clinic is really speeding things up - the RUH has provided resource not only for a consultant emergency surgeon to oversee the service, but has also purchased a dedicated ultrasound machine and provided extra theatre capacity to operate on emergency patients."
The new service is working really well and 788 patients were seen in the first six months; 71 per cent of patients were seen and discharged home the same day, 12 per cent of patients had their surgical procedure on the same day they were seen, and six per cent of patients were added to the planned operating list for non-urgent surgery or were admitted to hospital.
Ms Richards said: "We recognise that the majority of our patients don't want to be admitted unless strictly necessary and this clinic is one of the many ways that the RUH is striving to work differently and more efficiently.
"The ESAC service is safe and effective and we have evidence that shows that it is contributing to a reduction in the time inpatients wait for emergency surgery. Managing general surgical patients in this way has also resulted in significant bed savings, as we're avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions, which allows inpatient resources to be allocated to life-threatening emergencies."
Patients report high levels of satisfaction. Of the 114 patients who completed the Friends and Family Test questionnaire, 99 per cent of them said that they would be extremely likely, or likely, to recommend the service to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment.
Examples of the feedback given by patients include: "Everything was just perfect. Overwhelmed by tender care and professionalism. Thank you so much," and "I have been treated with respect and dignity at every point of care in the clinic. The staff and doctors are empathetic, compassionate and I really felt like they listened and understood. I had prompt care and treatment throughout. The clinic space was calm and very clean. Many thanks for all your care. Highly recommended."

What Episode was the most outstanding for each actress?
Hi, I'm new here and watch GG all the time on the Hallmark channel. I watched all the time when it originally aired as well. It had the finest group of actresses and sharp writing. What episode was the most outstanding for each of the actresses?
Blanche: (I just LOVE Rue) My favorite Blanche/Rue episode is when Blanche is delirious after staying up all night trying to write her 'novel." Rue is so fantastic!
"Bye Dorothy buy me a present!"
Rose: For some reason I love the episode where the girls remember the past, and Rose remembers her first birthday without Charlie. Her entire scene alone with the cake (talking with Charlie) is touching, vulnerable and brilliant.
Dorothy: I love the speech Dorothy gives that doctor who dismissed her symptoms..Bea really took hold of that scene and made it something memorable.
Sophia: I have to be honest, I don't like the character of Sophia (sorry) but I do like her moments with Dorothy where she shows her more gentle, loving side. I like when she tells Dorothy the real reason she likes playing cards with her is because they talk...sweet.

I do agree that those are some of their strongest scenes!!
Blanche: i love the scene when she's standing in front of Big Daddy's grave and she says, "I'm nobody's little girl anymore." That part is so heart breaking, and of course the episode when George makes an appearance in her dream, you can really see the chemistry that they share with each other.
Dorothy: I would say her best moment was the last episode when she's saying good bye to the other girls. Dorothy is so amazing at being both prickly and loving at the same time, I love the scenes in The Case of the Libertine Belle when she screams, "Not now, Ma!"
Rose: I would say a very strong part for Rose was when she talked about dressing Charlie for the paramedics, that part always brings tears to my eyes.
Sophia: I really like her in "Hey, Look Me over." when she mocks Dorothy hearing problem!

There are several plus sides for the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils competing in the Eastern Conference Finals. There is no worrying about traveling arrangements or practicing on home ice since the two teams are separated by just 14 miles, so it's just a short bus or train ride from one arena to another. Fans also tend to take public transportation to get to sporting events in the greater New York area — but why do that when you can fly?
That's right; Rangers fans can fly to Game 3 if they choose.
Delta Airlines is offering a promotion through the Rangers' website that will offer fans a 17-minute trip on a charter flight that will travel from LaGuardia Airport to Newark International. Included in the flight will be Rangers swag, ground transportation, Rangers alumni Ron Duguay and Rod Gilbert, plus a chance to win a Rangers road trip at an away game next season.
There are some advantages and disadvantages to flying. Avoiding driving through Newark is certainly a plus. It certainly isn't the vibrant city New Jersey Governor Chris Christie claimed last month. But airlines often create headaches with luggage for long flights. I can't imagine going through the same ordeal (and security) for 17 minutes in the air.
It won't be easy for Rangers fans to get in to the Prudential Center, though. The Devils have launched a "No Blue" campaign to protect their home ice advantage by asking their fans to deny tickets to Rangers fans looking to cross state lines and sneak into the Devils' home arena.
Earlier this week, the Devils released this strategy:
"If you own seats and have to sell for any of the home games because of conflicts, do NOT list your seats on the secondary market. Blogs such as Fire and Ice, In Lou We Trust, and HFBoards provide you with outlets to speak directly with other Devils fans who are looking for seats. This will ensure you are selling only to other Devils fans. You can ask for pictures or meet them to deliver tickets, to ensure where their loyalty lies."
According to Yahoo's Puck Daddy Blog, it is not the first time an airline has offered such a promotion. In 2005, United Airlines offered a promotion in which Chicago White Sox fans could fly from O'Hare Airport to Midway Airport for a game against the cross-town rival Chicago Cubs.
There has been no release on exactly how much the flight will cost, but we're willing to bet it'll be almost as overpriced as Brandon Dubinsky's contract.

Concerned about some extra copper on the rifling near the crown

Regarding copper wash at the muzzle, either on the lands or in the grooves, that happens 'cause the bullet's jacket touches that area when they go out the barrel. It's common with most factory rifles. It builds up from any bore surface that's rough enough to scrape jacket material off bullets, but usually is not a problem
If there's no copper wash seen at the muzzle, it's due to at least one of two reasons. First, the bore's been intentionally lapped smooth and dimensionally uniform to .0001" or less by its maker so no bullet jacket material gets rubbed off; typical of best quality match barrels. Second, the muzzle area's bore and groove diameters have been accidently lapped to bigger numbers if there is copper wash visible back a ways in the barrel from cleaning with a rod without a bore guide. Rough steel rods and all aluminum or brass cleaning rods especially.
Having worn out 4 Garand barrels made at Springfield Armory in MA, they all started out with a bit of copper wash in the grooves and on the lands at the muzzle when new. After a thousand rounds and frequent cleaning with a solid, one-piece military steel cleaning rod polished very smooth, those surfaces were worn down (diameters enlarged) a bit so no more copper wash was seen the last 1/8th inch of the barrel. I never used a bore guide on the muzzle to protect the rifling. The worn area increased about 1/8 inch or more for every thousand rounds and at 5000 rounds, there was no copper wash for the last 5/8 to 3/4 inch or more. Others on military rifle teams report the same findings. It's normal and does not seem to effect accuracy.

Inuit Legend speaks of a Lone Wolf
who abandoned the safety of his pack to create his own path through the world. He took it upon himself to restore the balance of life, and through his untamed spirit repelled foolishness from the forest. This powerful, fearless creature became the guardian of forest and night, Amaroq, the Great Wolf.
Inspired by the lawless spirit of this demigod, our designs embody his wild soul and unshakeable confidence, so that those bold enough to walk their own paths can carry with them the essence of Amaroq.
Kate Marie Thompson was raised in the foothills of Northern California, where her love for nature blossomed from a very young age. Her childhood was spent building tree forts and fishing with her father, who taught her to appreciate and live in harmony with the wilderness. There were few shoes and even fewer TV shows in her early life, except for an assortment of nature documentaries gifted to her by her grandfather. Outside in the forest, everything was a tool to create something beautiful. Already an expressive child, Kate learned to take from the wild what had been shed, and give it new life in art. As she grew older, this inspiration to create only strengthened, leading her to leave home to pursue her dream as an artist.
Graduating from Loyola Marymount University with a degree in Fine Art, Kate settled into a life in Los Angeles designing for a vaudeville cirque, Lucent Dossier. It was here among the colorful performers that her imagination ignited and the basic feathers, sticks and bones she had collected in her youth suddenly gave way to exotic adornments and costumes. She would stare in awe at aerialists spinning above her in webs of red silk, and simultaneously begin to weave her own interpretations of their dance into a wearable piece of art. It was here that her mind and her hands learned how to interpret each other's visions.
Not long after her first designs saw the limelight of live performance, her work caught the eye of an up and coming pop star named Kesha. Reaching out, the starlet bluntly stated "I don't have money now, but I will make it. And when I do, I will repay you ten times. Would you make me one of your headdresses?" Never expecting to hear back from the girl, but excited nonetheless that somebody believed in her work, Kate created a small white headpiece and an assortment of smaller earrings and clips. In four months time, Kesha's first single "Tik Tok" had gone platinum and Kate now had a steady job designing one of a kind statement pieces for the pop star.
As more performers and intrigued collectors showed interest in Kate's work, she teamed up with Los Angeles Designer Toree Arntz and founded couture clothing line, Fauxtale. Together both girls fused the worlds of fashion and fine art into breathtakingly intricate and unique women's wear. Their designs were featured in magazines such as Vaga and Malibu Magazine and carried in some of the most exclusive boutiques in the USA.
Two years later, Toree continues creating the beautiful works of art that Fauxtale is known for, and Kate has ventured off like the lone wolf herself to brave a new path with her vision of Amaroq. Bound together by their mutual dedication and passion for animals, both girls are very active supporters and volunteers for the Wildlife Way Station, one of the oldest exotic animal sanctuary in the United States.
With Amaroq promising to bring many new opportunities in the future, Kate continues to fill her life with the forces of inspiration that fuel her untamed imagination---exploring the vast outdoors, spending time up at the Way Station, traveling at every opportunity and loving on her dogs.
