Price Paid: $200
This snowshoe rivals all others for ease of use and durability. The ultra bindings hold tight and adjust easily with even the thickest of mitts. I use these shoes both to approach climbs and for general leisure hiking in Northern Ontario and Northern Minnesota. I generally carry a pack and the Alpine series gives me plenty of floatation in deep snow. Underbrush is not a problem due to the narrow profile. I can maintain a natural stride and in a pinch can run.

Coconut-Kissed Almond Date Truffles
These are so sweet and tasty and easy to pop in your mouth one after the other! Anja is right, there is no need for additional flavorings because they are naturally delicious as they are - just almonds, dates, and coconut. Simply perfect! They come together in minutes, so if you're not doing anything right now I suggest you go whip up some precious truffles! :)
Speaking of dates...
Curly does a quick deodorant-check before a hot date with a silly goose.

You make the simplest foods look so darn good. I love almond and date balls — don't ya think they would look great on the Thanksgiving table for dessert?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Andrea! Although I must admit that the tasty models did all the work, I was just the drooling photographer. They would definitely look great on the Thanksgiving table! Very dainty and purdy! :)Delete
Mmm, they look wonderful to me! And Curly, you are such a funny guy :DReplyDeleteReplies
I just want to tell you how much I am enjoying the duck and goose photos. Can you keep sending them out daily after MOFO is over? :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Absolutely! I am so glad you are enjoying the photos! Ducks are not as popular as kittens and puppies, but I really think they deserve a place of worship on the interwebs. Thanks so much for the feedback - I will definitely keep the ducks and geese coming after MoFo is over! :)Delete

Early on, in the 1950s, Robert Sternberg flubbed IQ tests, and his elementary school branded him a loser.

"They never came out and told us our IQ scores, but one could tell from the way the teachers acted I was a mediocre student, which made my teachers happy because they got what they expected." In a "self-fulfilling prophecy," Sternberg performed a little bit worse each year. But he lucked out in fourth grade when a teacher "had high expectations for me." He got A's and altered his "entire future trajectory."

The phones in Stanford University's Business School admissions office aren't ringing as often as they did.

Since the documentary Waiting for Superman opened in select theaters last week, a cast of notables have announced a cascade of donations and investment pledges for charters, and it looks it's just the beginning of this holiday season.

Alabama schools have been having a rough time of it, and it only looks like it's going to get rougher. The Cotton State recently came in last place in the federal Department of Education's Race to the Top grant competition. And a steadfast global recession combined with the Gulf Coast oil spill this summer have put a severe strain on the state's tax receipts, the primary source of revenue for Alabama's education system, forcing several school systems to take out private loans just to make it through the year.

Alex Rodriguez will continue his rehab stint in Charleston with another start on Wednesday night as he looks to bounce back from an 0-2 performance at the plate on Tuesday.
He has 20 days to complete his rehab assignment and said before the game he'd probably need all 20 games. He's expected to move up in the Yankees' farm system after the start Wednesday. He's scheduled to return to the big leagues shortly after the All-Star break.
A crowd of over 8,200 people packed into Joe Riley Park for his debut in Charleston's 4-2 win over the Rome Braves.
A-Rod, who is recovering from offseason hip surgery, grounded into a 5-4-3 double play in his first at bat in the first inning. He followed that up with a strikeout looking to end the third. He was removed from the game after 3 innings.
"It's a great blessing to be out there" Rodriguez said after he was taken out. "It's been a long fight and climb to get back. I was just pretty excited to get a couple at-bats."
"It's a pretty awesome atmosphere in South Carolina" he said. "I feel pretty welcome."
Defensively the 3-time AL MVP was tested twice including the first batter of the game when Rome's Kyle Wren bunted down the 3rd base line. Rodriguez fielded the ball cleanly but couldn't get the throw to first in time. In the 3rd inning, Jose Peraza also reached on a bunt.
Rodriguez wasn't the only Yankee playing in Charleston Tuesday night. Shortstop Eduardo Nunez was also in town rehabbing and went 2-3 with 2 singles.
For the everyday RiverDogs, getting a chance to play with major leaguers is certainly a big deal. Especially one with the credentials of Rodriguez. But he realizes playing with younger guys can have an impact on him as well.
"It's so nice playing with these young kids. Part of the rehab that's a blast is being able to have conversations and these kids have such great dreams. Pretty cool experience, not only for them but really for us."
As for the rest of the game, Angelo Gumbs went 2-4 with a HR and 2 RBI while Kelvin DeLeon added his 5th HR of the season. James Pazos pitched a perfect 8th inning for his first win of the season and Ben Paullus picked up his 4th save of the year.

K-8 FAQs
Q: What do you look for when you seek children who are musically gifted?
A: We look for many things, including accurate pitch, good rhythm, musical memory and engagement in music.
Q: My child hasn't had any formal musical training. Can we still apply?
A: For grades K–2, yes; one of our goals is to offer our training to every gifted child, regardless of prior training. For grades 3 and up, we ask every child to audition on an instrument. For grades 4 and up, applicants also take a theory placement test to ensure they can keep up with their returning peers.
Q: I don't live in school district 3; is my child eligible to apply for the school?
A: Yes. Any student living within the five boroughs of New York City is eligible.
Q: Does Special Music School have a high school?
A: Yes. Beginning in the fall of 2013, SMS will expand into the high school grades at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Educational Complex. Find out more about the new high school.
Q: If my child applied the previous year and did not get accepted, is his/her application valid for the following year?
A: Applications for Special Music School must be completed and filed for each year that the child auditions.
Q: Can you describe the assessment process?
A: Grades K–2: The first round of assessment features two different activities which take place on the same day. In small groups, children take a 25-minute music "class" in which they are asked to sing, clap and move to music. In addition, each child is given a short, one-on-one individual assessment. Children who score above a certain level on these two tests are called back for a lengthier individual assessment, after which they will be either accepted or not accepted to the school, or placed on a "delayed decision" list. Children on the "delayed decision" list may be asked to re-test toward the end of the assessment process. Children scoring below a certain level on the first round of tests will not be asked to continue. While we recognize that there are many factors that may affect a child's performance on a given day, and that children who are not recommended for advancement to the next level may be deeply talented, it is our policy not to re-test children at any level except in truly exceptional circumstances.
Grades 3 and up: Candidates for the upper grades will be asked to play 3 or 4 pieces on their instrument and to play scales and arpeggios. They will also be asked to take a written theory test, a short ear-training test involving singing and a short sight-singing test. Audition requirements vary according to the grade level, so feel free to contact us to discuss auditions.

Entitled "Tehran and Madrid: Under Two Lights", the book is a collection of photos taken by the Iranian artist Negar Kamkhah and the Spanish photographer Raul Cancio.
The hundred-and-twelve page book is in Spanish and was released by the Ediciones La Libreria.
Kamkhah, 22, and Cancio, 70, are from different cultures and generations. However, they can link two cities in different parts of world with their artistic perspective, the head of Persepolis Cultural Center Ahmad Mohammad-Taheri mentioned in the book's preface.
The renowned Spanish journalist Angel del Rio also wrote a preface in the book in which he pointed out some geographical similarities between the two cities that leads to similar lighting at various times of the day in these two places.
The book was supported by the Iranian Persepolis Cultural Center in Madrid and Spain's Tritoma S.L.

|School staff, teachers are first line of defense
|Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:21 PM
DELPHOS — "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation…" Then there was an abrupt crackle and whine emitted from the microphone attached to the PA system. "Attention, attention, code purple, code purple. There is an intruder in the building," Principal Miller spoke with a calm, yet rigid voice.
A silence fell across the room and the students' eyes turned to their teacher, Mr. Smith, who immediately sprung up from his desk and went into action.
Without hesitation, each student followed the procedures they practiced time and time again, sprinting to the classroom doors ensuring they are locked, gathering desks and chairs to build a barricade at the doorways and positioning themselves to engage the intruder with a barrage of textbooks.
This fictitious scenario is not unlike the real-life simulations taught by the Delphos Police Department during ALiCE training with Delphos City Schools staff and administration on Tuesday.
School safety has been in the forefront of everyone's mind. While the nation struggles with the aftermath of the Newtown massacre and questions about school safety, teachers, school administrators and law enforcement officials have been scrambling for answers.
Sergeant Mark Slate and Officer Ryan Kimmet of the Delphos Police Department presented the crisis training program ALiCE, an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Information, Counter and Evacuation. The program is geared to prepare first responders to think on their feet and choose the options that save lives if they would encounter an intruder or active shooter.
The session began with Slate describing grim details of some of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history. There have been 78 documented school shootings since 1978.
In 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold plotted for a year before they killed 13 people and wounded 24 more at their Columbine High School. They then committed suicide. Seven years later, Duane Roger Morrison entered Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, Colorado and took six female students hostage, sexually assaulted each of them and released five of them one by one. As law enforcement stormed the classroom, Morrison killed the last hostage and turned the gun on himself. Five days later, in Nickel Mines, PA, Charles Carl Roberts IV stormed a one-room Amish schoolhouse with three guns, sent the boys and adults outside, barricaded the doors with two-by-fours and then shot 11 girls "execution-style", killing three people before committing suicide. Two of the wounded girls died later.
The reality check, of sorts, brought the room of educators to a somber, yet unified mind-set. Principal John Edinger spoke on the opening segment of the training.
"It was eye-opening and sickening. Taking the lives of innocent kids. " Edinger spoke earnestly. "The Newtown shooting reminds me of the precious lives we have to protect."
Coaching the faculty in lock-down procedures includes ensuring all participants are aware of the proper codes announced during an intrusion, teaching hands-on self-defense mechanisms, creating effective door barricades, developing and learning contingency evacuation plans and establishing safe sites after an evacuation. In addition, there have been situations where students were in a lock-down situation for hours. Slate recommends that teachers have an emergency kit prepared in case a situation should warrant.
"The kits should include bandages, snacks and even tampons, which would be useful to stop the bleeding of any wounds," Slate affirmed. "Take the plastic liner out of a metal trash can and use it [the trash can] as a toilet."
If an intruder storms a classroom armed with a weapon, the staff and teachers are instructed to use a self-defense mechanism like forcefully throw any object, like books or computers, to render the intruder unbalanced and make him or her an easier target for a hands-on counterattack.
Prior to the beginning of the school year, staff and teachers began the first part of the ALICE training, where the staff viewed clips from the Columbine shooting and delved into the mind of an active shooter.
"There are always flaws in the system." Edinger stated. "No matter how prepared we are, an intruder will get in and do what ever they are going to do. Instead of being sitting ducks, this program gives us control and allows us to be aggressive. We have a proactive police department that work hands-on and genuinely cares for the community. Additionally, the parents 'step up to the plate' and are always supportive when dealing with student and school issues."
Edinger and the teachers are very enamored with the ALICE training, the Delphos Police Department and the support of the community, as a whole.

Bill Calhoun and I have differences on whether history is written to honor the dead or to educate the living, but they've always been an amiable one. We both agreed, early on, that the story needed to be told of his experiences in "F" Company, 503d PIR during WWII. He had joined the 36th Div., Texas National Guard whilst in high school, and enlisted in the Reserve Army Air Corps on 4 Jan 1941. To escape a permanent stateside posting he volunteered for parachute training, and graduated in June 1942, being assigned to the 502d PIR. He attended OCS and was posted to Brisbane, Australia, arriving January 1944. He had been a platoon leader 11 months when he jumped on Corregidor. Thereafter he commanded "F" Co. of the 503d PRCT in Negros. He separated from the Army in March 1946, but stayed a career reservist, retiring as a Colonel.
Based upon his research, notes and papers, we have been able to place much of his experience and perspectives into what has become "BLESS 'EM ALL", an informal history of the 2/503 Parachute Infantry Regiment. Originally, I thought it would take the form of a book, but soon discovered that the project was so huge, and had so many diverse facets, that it needed to be told by a website, to which further stories could always be added. It was a project that's taken me more than a decade, which is rather a short time in comparison, given that it took Bill an entire lifetime to live and reassemble. The website version, found at http://corregidor.org/BEA503/navigation/bea_title.htm , still isn't finished, nor is it ever likely to be because I am always working on some aspect of improving it. More recently, faced with a large number of images not in the "BEA" website, I've put them together as a pictorial companion to the the primary work.
One doesn't have to have seen the website, because "Bless 'em All - the Pictorial Companion" reads well as a stand-alone book version, condensed by being squeezed between a couple of hundred images from Bill's private collection.
The book also includes a rare set of color photographs of the 503d PRCT on both Corregidor and Negros.
Bless 'em All is now one of ten self-published books published under the auspices of the Corregidor Historic Society and of the 503d PRCT Heritage Bn. More about these publications can be found at: http://corregidor.org/publications.htm
It delivers in at 240 pages, and the price depends on whether you get a paperback, hard-cover, or photo-cover version.

Southern Line Islands
During the spring of 2009, Enric Sala and a team of scientists returned to the central Pacific—this time to the southern Line Islands, a province of the Republic of Kiribati located some 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) south of Hawaii. These are among the most remote and isolated atolls on Earth. They are rarely visited. No person calls them home.
The team spent six weeks visiting Flint, Vostok, Millennium, Starbuck, and Malden islands. They observed and documented water quality, fish populations, predator populations, and the health and diversity of the coral reef itself—the heart of the tropical marine ecosystem. Renowned terrestrial ecologist and conservationist Mike Fay conducted above-water transects on the islands.
The expedition was the first comprehensive study of its kind. Researchers hope to use the data to establish a baseline model for healthy coral reefs, to quantify the effects of human activity on these ecosystems, and to devise a blueprint for the conservation of already degraded reefs.
At the Our Ocean conference hosted by the U.S. State Department in June 2014, Kiribati President Anote Tong announced the protection of this pristine area and closed the region to commercial fishing. Learn more about the announcement from National Geographic News.

CHAPEL HILL At North Carolina, the cast list is posted on Tuesdays. Its not really a list not exactly. But the players on the scout team the walk-ons and the freshman too far down on the depth chart, the guys who might never see the field on Saturdays treat it as a list, and when they find out their number, they know which part theyve earned.
When you walk in on Tuesday, you get your jersey in your locker, see who youre going to be, Luke Heavner, a walk-on who joined the team in 2011, said earlier this season. Everybody wants to check it, see if theyre going to be that big-time guy for the other squad.
On the Tuesday before UNC played at Georgia Tech in mid-September, Heavner found a gold and white No. 2 jersey waiting for him. He didnt have to check a Yellow Jackets roster to know that hed be playing the role of Vad Lee, Georgia Techs multi-dimensional quarterback.
In his high school days, Heavner was an all-conference quarterback at Ragsdale High. He passed for more than 3,500 yards and 40 touchdowns in his final two seasons but now, on the Tar Heels scout team, his highlights come in front of a crowd that consists only of his coaches, teammates and other members of the Tar Heels support staff.
Players on the scout teams at UNC, N.C. State and Duke receive no glory. They rarely, if ever, play in real games. Their sole responsibility is to prepare the players who will play for what they will see on game day, and to mimic players on the other team. N.C. States Jacoby Brissett has played the part of Tajh Boyd and Jameis Winston. Duke running back Joseph Ajeigbe helped teammates prepare for Kevin Parks and Shadrach Thornton.
Before UNCs game at Georgia Tech, Heavner needed to become Lee.
Theyve got us watching a lot of film, Heavner said then, trying to get us ready and kind of learning what he does and how he operates the offense. So (I learn by) just watching that and going out and doing it every day.
The rhythm of football one game per week, usually makes it unlike other sports. Coaches have more time to prepare. Details become magnified. And each week, there is a game plan within a game plan one for the scout team, inside the larger plan for the team that will play on Saturday.
Before UNCs game at Georgia Tech, for instance, the Tar Heels scout team had to learn how to run the spread-option, run-oriented offense the Yellow Jackets use. UNC didnt play a game the week before traveling to Atlanta to face the Yellow Jackets, and so that allowed for more time to prepare.
Blake Anderson, the Tar Heels offensive coordinator, said graduate assistant coaches and the defensive coaching staff is most responsible for coaching UNCs scout team offense. For the Georgia Tech game, UNC coach Larry Fedora also played a prominent role because of his time in an option offense at Air Force.
Heavner, meanwhile, did his best to mimic Lee. Which came just a few weeks after he played Bruce Ellington, the South Carolina receiver, in the days before the Tar Heels season-opener.
Everybodys got a role, Heavner said, and especially when you get to play somebody that you know the defense is going to be keying on, you know that youre going to get to do a lot of different stuff and definitely give a lot of different looks. So it is fun. Its fun to be that (player).
Packs Brissett benefits from scout team work
RALEIGH N.C. States Jacoby Brissett cant play in real games. The Florida transfer has to sit out this season under NCAA rules. So the junior quarterback, has tried to compensate by playing in his own version of fake games.
He already has pretended to be Clemsons Tahj Boyd and Florida States Jameis Winston with the Wolfpacks scout team. It doesnt make up for not being able to play this season, especially when the Wolfpack needs help at quarterback, but it has helped Brissett cope with the transition.
Its different, but it has given me a chance to work on my game and to have fun, Brissett said.
Brissett, whos closer to Winston than Boyd in size at 6-foot-4 and 231 pounds, said the chance to emulate Boyd in practice was his favorite week. It wasnt because of an ingrained dislike of Florida State either, Brissett said.
I like the Clemson offense because its the same as ours, Brissett said.
Brissett is trying to learn Matt Canadas offense and be ready for the 2014 season. He will have two seasons of eligibility at N.C. State.
He started three games in two seasons at Florida but found himself behind classmate Jeff Driskel on the depth chart during the 2012 season. A top 100 recruit out of high school in West Palm Beach, Fla., in 2010, Brissett decided to transfer last January.
Driskel broke his right leg in the third game of the season, so in theory, Brissett could be the Gators starter right now instead of running States scout team.
Im over that, Brissett of his decision to leave Florida. Thats the past. Im onto bigger and better things.
N.C. State hopes so. Production from the quarterback position this season has been a struggle. First-year coach Dave Doeren is hopeful for the future after watching Brissett in practice.
Hes just a tremendous competitor and next year when we get to him, well be excited about it, Doeren said. Right now, were trying to do what we can with what we have.
Brissett has done his best to help the first-team defense during practice. Doeren said theres a noticeable difference with the way Brissett throws the ball than a walk-on or third-stringer would at most programs.
Hes zipping the ball into tight windows, and hes yelling at his offensive line to block for him, Doeren said. Its competitive. Its fun to watch.
Brissetts not allowed to travel with the team but has been to every game this season. He drove to road games at Wake Forest, Duke and even Florida State. He has been demonstrative on the sidelines, too, not just sitting back and taking in everything.
Im just trying to show that Im there for them, Brissett said.
Joe Giglio
Dukes Ajeigbe almost too real
DURHAM It took Joseph Ajeigbe a little bit to warm up to the idea of being a running back on Dukes scout team.
When you first find out that youre redshirting, you can be down a little bit, said Ajeigbe, a freshman from Riverside, Calif. But Coach (David Cutcliffe) and Coach (ReQuan Boyette), the running backs coach, they talked to me and let me know that this year is a year for me to get better to learn our offense as well as prepare the defense.
Thats a really huge role because theyve never really had someone on the scout team that can give them a realistic look.
That is not the case this year, with Ajeigbe excelling as the fake Kevin Parks (Virginias running back) or the imitation brand Shadrach Thornton (N.C. States primary ball-carrier).
Depending on Dukes opponent, Blue Devils defensive lineman Kenny Anunike said Ajeigbe will change the way he runs.
When you see him out there, youll see some of the mannerisms that certain backs have, Anunike said. Maybe if a running back takes a certain kind of step before he cuts, or when the ball is snapped, he might do a false step backward little things that we might pick up on that the actual back does, (Ajeigbe) does that in practice.
While Anunike really noticed Ajeigbes talent for mimicry the week of the Memphis game the Tigers averaged only 2.7 yards per carry in Dukes 28-14 victory Blue Devils linebacker Kelby Brownsaid he thinks Ajeigbes best week was when he pretended he was Parks.
Brown said the two have almost the exact same body type (Parks is 5-8, 205 pounds, Ajeigbe is 5-9, 215 pounds) and similar running style (in a word, Brown said both run hard). And Parks, who is third in the ACC in rushing yards, only gained 50 yards on the ground in Dukes 35-22 win against the Cavaliers.
Despite what it might look like to Dukes defensive players, Ajeigbe said he tries not to spend too much time thinking about running styles when hes on the practice field. While he studies plenty of film to get an idea of the opponents offense and their running backs tendencies, he said he tries to rely on instinct.
At the end of each week, Ajeigbe is in a unique position to judge both how the defense did and what the opposing running back might have done differently.
Sometimes that advice might be simple run more like Ajeigbe.
Theres been a couple of times when I saw the running back and I felt like I did a little bit better in practice against our defense, Ajeigbe said. Thats part of the thing me doing well in practice prepares our defense for the game.

Prosecutors and the defense in the case of a Conestoga High School chemistry teacher found collapsed and allegedly drunk in the school have struck a deal. Under the arrangement the misdemeanor charges against Carol Wittschieben would eventually be removed from her record.
Defense Attorney Robert J. Donatoni of West Chester says his client is seeking medical treatment in the wake of being found on the floor of a Conestoga High School lab prep room in December. Police say she had a blood alcohol level of 0.32 when she was transported to Paoli Hospital for treatment.
Under the deal the charge of Endangering the Welfare of Children would be reduced to Reckless Endangering. Then if Wittschieben completes court order steps under a first offender program the charges will be withdrawn and her record expunged.
Tredyffrin Township Police had charged a 42-year-old Conestoga High School Chemistry teacher with one misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of children after she collapsed in an adjacent lab prep room while her AP Chemistry students took a test in a classroom. The incident happened at noon on December 10 inside the high school.
According to court documents filed in the case, Carol Wittschieben was found on the floor of a lab prep room next to a chemistry classroom. According to allegations made in court documents she was "mostly unresponsive" when EMS and police first arrived.
According to court documents, 42-year-old Carol Wittschieben, told EMT's that "she is an alcoholic who had been consuming alcohol throughout the day via a water bottle in her purse."
According to an affidavit of probable cause filed in Devon District Court a medic "detected an odor of alcoholic beverage eminating from Wittschieben." Before the teacher was loaded into an ambulance for the ride to Paoli Hospital another teacher who had discovered Wittschieben on the flood gave the Witschieben's purse to the ambulance crew so that she would have it at the hospital.
Police say the purse contained an 8 ounce Deer Park water bottle. The investigating officer told the court that both he and the Berwyn medic "detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage inside the bottle.
Details of the Plea Arrangement
Under the arrangement described by Donatoni the most serious charge, which is a class one misdemeanor will be withdrawn and replaced by a less serious, class two misdemeanor charge of reckless endangering. If Wittschieben meets all the requirements of a first offenders program (ARD) the charges will be dropped and her record expunged. If she fails to meet the requirements for the first offenders program the orginal charges would be re-instated. This is a common way for many first time misdemeanor case to be resolved.
Defense Attorney Says the Teacher is Seeking Help
In the meantime, Defense Attorney Donatoni says Wittschieben "is taking all the right steps to be sure this unfortunate event does not re-occur.
Donatoni added that she has received "dozens of unsolicited letters and emails" of support from students, former students and teachers "attesting to the character of this woman."
her attorney says Wittschieben has been on medical leave since the incident in December.


text: GEORGETOWN, Del. - In just under 30 days, the Safe Haven Animal Shelter will close its doors for good. But before they do, volunteers and staff are working tirelessly to make sure all of the current canine residents find a loving home.And Saturday, it was Libra's turn to head out."As soon as he walked into the room, it was love at first sight," said Stephanie Brewer, Libra's adoptive pet parent. He circled the lobby of Safe Haven, with his tail wagging and excitement in his eyes as he played with his new owners. One could say the excitement is long overdue: he's been a resident of Safe Haven for a year. It's a no-kill shelter for dogs like Libra to wait as long as it takes for new owners to find them. But, time is running out. The shelter will shut down November 30."We plan to have those dogs out," said Beth West, acting president of Safe Haven. "That is our goal and that's what we're working towards."According to West, Safe Haven lost much of its source of income in September when it was no longer allowed to handle dog control duties. Now, it's putting all the work into getting the dogs adopted as a first option. The shelter had 140 animals five weeks ago, and now they have 77."There's plenty of people out there that should be coming to adopt these dogs, cause they're wonderful dogs," Brewer said.The ASPCA is helping the shelter adopt the dogs out, with as many as five or six leaving each day. They're also helping Safe Haven locate shelters and animal groups up and down the east coast that have room -- and time -- for the animals to stay. Something Libra -- who's new name is Duke -- won't have to worry about."I feel great that he doesn't have to be in that small little room anymore," Brewer said. "He get's to come home and have fun and be a part of our family."An addition that was free to the Brewers, and anyone else that would like to bring home a Safe Haven dog. The adoption fees have been waived for now, and the pets are available every day until they close for good, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.And although the shelter is closing, they could still use supplies and financial support until the very last dog has a new home.

LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers owner and chairman Frank McCourt and his wife, Jamie, the club's chief executive officer, are separating, the club said Wednesday night.
The couple, which purchased the club for $430 million in 2004 from News Corp., married in 1979 and has four sons.
"Frank McCourt and Jamie McCourt confirm that they are separated," the club said in a release. "This is a personal matter and they request that their privacy be respected. They will be making no public statements."
The team has reached the postseason in four of the six years the McCourts have owned the club and opens the NL Championship Series against the Phillies at home Thursday.
Frank McCourt is a Boston native who founded The McCourt Company, which develops commercial real estate projects. The company was moved from Boston to Los Angeles in 2006 and is now called The McCourt Group. The president of that company is the McCourts' son Drew.
Jamie McCourt is a Baltimore native who was named vice chairman when the club was transferred from News Corp., then president in 2005 and CEO earlier this year when Dennis Mannion was promoted to club president and chief operating officer.

Pollution levels set to drop tomorrow after another day of smog
Updated 3:28pm Wednesday 2nd April 2014 in News By Andrew Bloss, Reporter
Those with lung and heart diseases are being urged to be careful due to high levels of air pollution today.
The high level smog is down to a dust storm from the Sahara being blown over Europe combined with normal pollution levels.
People who suffer from lung conditions such as asthma are being told to take their inhalers more regularly if needed.
On Monday readers were confused as to why their cars were covered in dirt but it was later revealed it was down to the dust being blown over from the Sahara.
Pollution levels are as high as eight or nine today in Croydon but with showers expected tomorrow, the quality of air is set to improve.
Professor Frank Kelly of King's College London said tiny particles of pollution could cause problems for asthma sufferers – and contribute to longer-term problems for others.

MP 'arrests' alleged shoplifter
A Tory backbencher chased down and detained an alleged shoplifter in his Essex constituency.
Douglas Carswell said he saw the man running down Pier Avenue in Clacton with items falling out of his pockets and store detectives in pursuit.
After outpacing the suspect and pinning him against a wall, he told him: "You probably don't want to hear this, but I'm your local MP."
Mr Carswell, who runs daily to keep fit, said he took action after seeing the man, aged in his late 20s or early 30s, apparently trying to make his escape.
The MP joked that he was tempted to take a 'selfie' photograph after capturing the individual, but decided just to put the news on Twitter instead.
He said when the police arrived they thanked him for his efforts, and took the suspect away.

either itachis lost his mind or this is a gaping plot hole of epic proportions even for someone liek itachi who has the most convoluted plans ever.
HOW THE **** DO YOU KNOW? for sasuke to even want to rip itachis eyes out of his corpse hed first have to be pretty darn evil which you hoped never to happen but the genjutsu would activate regardless of whether sasuke was still good with itachis eyes or not. naruto couldnt control it on his own. so if you expected sasuke to become evil no matter what, then why the beating around the bush to naruto? it seems liek his leaving sauske to naruto was seriously last-minute given plan A failed and was put on himself instead. if so then why ask narutos intentions if sasuke became a threat? if he fought sasuke and sasuke took itachis eyes like itachi planned then that was a complete waste of time as there wasnt anything naruto COULD have done besides try and free sasuke from this binding enslaving brainwashing of his best friend. how arrogant and evil do you have to be to talk to your brother's friend like you arent planning on turning him into a zombie without free will?
secondly HOW IN FUK HELL IS SASUKE MEANT TO SURVIVE THIS? if he has gone blind in such a short time and obito hadnt gotten to him, then hed have no reason to get those eyes as he wouldnt be evil. this of course assuming obito has died to itachis fail safe plan. that still leaves pain and danzo. so without the EMS and only an inexperienced useless MS sasuke doesnt have a chance vs pain. especially considering itachi never expected sasuke to be powerful enough to awaken susano at all. and itachi should know pain would eventually head to konoha to get the kyuubi. unless hes the worst spy in history. yet he had no failsafe for nagato. he was just going to hope that SOMEHOW one of the kages would take down the rinnegan. essentially he left everyone to destruction war and death since nagato wouldnt be restrained by obito any longer. obitos the only reason pain didnt go rip shit riot on konoha a long time ago and kill danzo/get kurama. that may have been his next move after destroying hanzo. but im getting ahead of myself. assuming sasuke turns into a genius medical ninja of obitos level overfreakingnight, and gets EMS, he will probably die of blood loss or the fact he wouldnt be able to see in them properly till its waay too late and pains already annhilated naruto and bee. then it wont matter.
two gaping plot holes in conclusion
1. itachi knew sasuke would rip eyes out of his corpse without obitos manipulations and become evil, which would condemn him to a catatonic slavery for the bastards who killed his family via KA brainwashing upon fighting naruto
or itachi thought sauske would remain a hell of a guy since he acted all surprised when sasuke decided to say "fuk this imma kill everyone" and was planning on enslaving him REGARDLESS. in hindsight not really a plot hole but begs the question why itachi acted all "you mean my plan to torture him and turn him into a murderous vengeful sociopath WORKED? HOLY CRAP" and tried to ask what naruto might do about this if it happened. which it wasnt in itachis master plan. all itachi was doing was maneovering naruto to confront sasuke so the KA would activate, not give a shit what happens to naruto. not surprising as he unknowingly already ordered that kids attempted murder
2. sasukes not a medic so why and how would itachi expect him to perform such a procedure on his own and survive, since, you know, in itachis perfect world where everything went well, obito was turned to a pile of ash and no one else he knows would help an s-class criminal become even stronger.
