One of the few Clinique products that actually broke me out horribly. I kept giving it a try and it kept breaking me out so back to the store it went!
More reviews by lady_baby_doll
So, I have to admit, I love exfoliating, and I am kinda guilty of over-doing it. But I can't get over the feeling of super smooth skin the morning after (cuz i always exfoliate in the pm) and how smoothly my makeup glides on, and how even and glowy my skin looks. I have to say, that this is a staple for me in getting that celebrity modelesque, smooth glasslike skin. My skin type is combo, and my skin isn't too sensitive, so I do use this every other day, and I have to admit, I'm not too gentle. Which I will change, because I heard that's really bad for your skin and it'll show up when you're older and blah blah. If you have really dry skin, then for sure this isn't for you, and clinique reps, and even the website says that. But if you have oily, or even moderately oily skin, then you will benefit by this product for sure. I have acne prone skin too, and this scrub actually keeps them away. This is a staple in the summertime, otherwise my face would look .... not pretty. But when is acne ever pretty. I use a pretty generous amount, maybe the size of a quarter, and then I smooth it over my face, and I rub it in circular motions for a minute or two, and then I just let it sit there for another minute or two, and then I wash it off, tone, moisturize pretty heavily, and done. =) It is kind of expensive, it costs me like...28 bucks or something? But, I have tried others, and I just...they just didn't do it for me. Biore, St Ives, etc etc. I didn't really like them, they didn't seem to help with breakouts, and my skin didn't feel as smooth afterwards. SO...I think that's all I can say about it. Oily girls for sure give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. Combo girls too. Dry skinned girls....this may hurt you a bit, and aggravate your skin. The 7 day scrub might be better for you. =) I hope that helps someone. =)

All i can say is love this product, love this product, love this product. Best scrub I have ever used this makes your skin feel super smooth. You need to use this 3 X a week. This scrub is for ppl. with oily skins!
I absolutely love this scrub - it is THE best, end of story. My face always feels so smooth and my skin looks so radiant after I use it, which I do more often that I probably should (every other day or so) just because I love it so much. I have been using it for about two years and am on, I don't know, maybe my fourth tube? Fifth? I don't know. It's wonderful.
One other thing - I won't touch their 7 Day Scrub Cream or whatever it's called with a ten foot pole. I've tried it a couple of times and it breaks me out SO bad, even when I wash my face immediately after using it. So watch out for that one - oily skin or not, go for the Exfoliating Scrub, not the 7 Day Scrub Cream!!!
This is one of my HGs!
I absolute adore that exfoliating scrub. The granules seems very tiny and they exfoliate the skin really gently. You don't need to rub hard to achieve that "celebrity" glow.
And also - a little goes a looong way.
Really one of the best products out there! :-)
Not bad but the thing is I just can't really see a difference.
I use this twice a week and have done along with the rest of the clinique 3 step system everyday but although I love the way this feels when I'm using it, afterwards I just can't really see much of a change.
I love this scrub! It leaves my skin soft and smooth, and it gives my skin a very natural glow. I use it once to twice a week, it feels so fresh, which is a plus in summer!
I have been using this for years and its always done it's job well. I've tried St. Ive's scrub after seeing it win so many awards, but I've come back to this one. St. Ive's is far too abrasive and doesn't rinse clean like this one does, and my skin is oily, especially in the nose and chin area and acne-prone. This exfoliates very well, however, I've found that an aspirin mask exfoliates even better. Although the aspirin mask is even better I don't use it too often, because I don't want to be too harsh on my skin. This scrub gets used in between the masks. This really helps to keep pores clean, has a nice menthol scent, and just in general makes my skin feel refreshed and smooth.
I thought this was a great scrub. It has a tingly, menthol feeling that feels wonderful on the skin. I have a normal to oily skin type so I think the product is best for normal to oily skins b/c it could be drying for a dry skin person. I feel that it gets rid of the top dead layer of skin and leaves the skin silky and smooth so that it looks more radiant.
A very good scrub for the money. The menthol is refreshing and cooling, there are lots of tiny particles. Don't over-scrub or apply too much pressure, otherwise it can be a little harsh. But otherwise I have no problems using this (actually, I use the one in the men's line which is identical and costs a little less!) 2-3 times a week on my slightly sensitive skin.

Erik picked this up this past weekend from a friends barn that had collapsed.
It has IH stamped into most of the parts.
The sickle bar is 6 foot long and looks to be a rear mount PTO driven mower.
The hookup seems to be into the finals.
Here are several photos;
Here are some Part No.'s on various components;

M-2629 on Gag Lever Post
What Model is this?
Does anyone have a Parts Manual for it so he can see what is missing?
The Pitman Arm was rotted through. It measures approx. 35". According to a post on a different forum, the poster states "IH models 10,16,21,24,28 use a pitman that is 35-11/16" long".
The bar is missing a few of the Serrated Ledger Plate Guards.

The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent catcher Gerald Laird to a two-year contract Thursday, according to the AJC's David O'Brien.
Laird, 33, was signed to replace David Ross, who officially signed with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.
Laird spent the 2012 season with the Detroit Tigers. In 62 games, Laird batted .282 with a .710 OPS. He hit two home runs.
The 10-year veteran struggled in the postseason for the Tigers. He had just one hit in 20 plate appearances.
The second-round pick in the 1998 amateur draft is a lifetime .244 hitter. He's hit 37 home runs in 698 games.
Laird is expected to back up six-time All-Star Brian McCann next season. While McCann is considered one of the best hitting catchers in baseball, he only played in 121 games for the Braves last season, so Laird could potentially see more playing time.
Ross, who spent the last four seasons with Atlanta, batted .256 with a .770 OPS in 62 games for the Braves last season. He hit nine home runs, which was his highest total since hitting 17 with the Cincinnati Reds in 2007.

Hepatitis Health Center
Can Hepatitis B Be Transmitted on the Football Field?
Sept. 21, 2000 -- Broken bones and concussions aren't the only hazards football players face on the field, a new study has found. Hepatitis B, a blood-borne virus that attacks the liver and can last a lifetime, can be spread among team sports players through contact with other players' wounds during training, according to a Japanese study of a football team.
The study, which appears in the Archives of Internal Medicine, identified 11 cases of hepatitis B among the Okayama University's football team during a 19-month period. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause lifelong infection, scarring of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure, and potentially death. It is known to be transmitted through blood transfusions, intravenous drug use, and sex with an HBV-infected partner, and the new study suggests that transmission is also possible in contact sports.
Each year in the U.S., more than 200,000 people of all ages get hepatitis B, and close to 5,000 die as a result of HBV, according to statistics from the CDC. But a hepatitis B vaccine to prevent infection is available for all age groups.
The researchers, led by Kazuo Tobe, MD, of the Health and Medical Center at Okayama University, say the virus was apparently transmitted by a single player who was an HBV carrier.
"Our study suggests that ... transmission of HBV may occur even among members of a sports team, probably through contact between players with exposed bleeding wounds," conclude the study's authors
One expert tells WebMD he is surprised this type of HBV transmission -- called horizontal transmission -- doesn't happen more often in team sports.
"Hepatitis B is a virus that, unlike the AIDS virus, is quite stable. So if you have blood infected with hepatitis B and don't clean it up, [the virus] can survive up to eight hours, even dried up on a desk, a chair, or a boxing ring," says Albert B. Knapp, MD, an assistant professor of medicine and gastroenterology at New York University Medical School and an attending physician at Lenox Hill Hospital.
"It's amazing that there are not more cases of horizontal transmission of hepatitis B virus. It is a poorly studied method of hepatitis B virus transmission," he tells WebMD.
As for prevention, Knapp suggests that any blood should be cleaned up immediately with alcohol or water. Additionally, "everyone in any contact sport should be vaccinated for hepatitis B."
"Many times people don't know that they have been infected," he says, adding that it takes three months after infection for symptoms to start appearing.
But Lewis G. Maharam, MD, a sports medicine specialist who is the president of the New York chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine, questions whether the virus can actually be transmitted the way the study says.
"I see sports athletes every day, and if they were interviewed at a university health center and asked about high-risk behaviors [for HBV] such as intravenous drug use or promiscuity, they would say no at the university because they fear that their responses could have repercussions on the team or among friends," says Maharam, who is also the medical director for the New York City Marathon.
Still, he says, full precautions should be taken when blood is present, both on and off the field.

Why Garden in School?
Submitted by Nadine Fiedler on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 12:28pm
From the Summer 2012 Caller
By Carter Latendresse
During the fall months in our 6th grade classes, my colleagues and I teach gardening, ancient flood stories, contemporary dystopian literature, and ancient Mesopotamia. We ask our students to look backward to identify essential characteristics of the first human civilizations, so that they might look forward and imagine remaking Western civilization in the 21st century.
During these lessons, my history teacher partner, Ann Fyfield, focuses on the development of agriculture in the Neolithic Age (8000 BCE to 3000 BCE), the rise of Sumerian city-states, the four empires of Mesopotamia, and the characteristics of ancient civilizations. In my English class, the curriculum parallels and interweaves with that of my colleague at crucial points, especially around issues of soil, water, food, climate, environmental justice, and the stories we tell ourselves as humans to orient ourselves to Earth, to one another, to other animals, and to the cosmos. We can often be found outside during September and October, harvesting apples, grinding wheat, learning about bee keeping, planting overwintering lettuce, or baking pita bread in the garden cob oven. Several people have asked, "What does the garden have to do with English or history class?"
Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe, in their seminal curriculum design text, Understanding by Design, show that while the best teaching prepares students for college, it is also rooted in solving today's problems and celebrating today's wisdom. The garden is our place of intersection for the teaching of ancient history, the novel, writing, economics, politics, anthropology, religion, myth, and science.
We have many reasons for teaching the Sumerian empire in our organic garden behind the Middle School building. These reasons grow out of the four enduring understandings we want our students to chew on for the rest of their lives.
The first enduring idea or understanding is that the aims and desires of most people on Earth have been fundamentally similar since hunter-gatherers first domesticated crops and animals in Iraq 10,000 years ago, and we can empathize with those people because we too desire, at bottom, the same things, which are connection and belonging. Focusing on new research involving empathy, mirror neurons, the lives of women, the colonized, and ordinary people throughout history, we unearth, as historians such as Howard Zinn, Winthrop Jordan, and Riane Eisler have done, representative stories of everyday people that could stand for the great silent majority of human history. We also presuppose, along with Jeremy Rifkin in The Empathic Civilization, that the deepest unconscious desires of Homo sapiens include companionship in towns that provide nutritious food, clean water, and safe homes for our children. By studying Mesopotamia, we get a snapshot of people putting these desires into action when they created the world's first cities.
At the same time, I try to show that balanced relationships pervade, indeed define, naturally occurring ecosystems and gardens that are intelligently designed with permaculture principles. We try to dispel centuries of fearing dirt and insects. No topsoil, no life, we tell students, and No honeybees, very boring food. We teach them about life cycles, collecting seeds, planting and transplanting from the greenhouse, companion planting, pollination, mulching, rain gardens, bioswales, native plant diversity, harvesting, cooking, eating, flower arranging, good table manners, composting, and the symbiotic relationships that pervade the cosmos. Reconnecting to the first civilization in ancient Iraq, with their reading, writing, gardening, food preparation, and eating, our students embody the oldest desires of civilized humans striving for community.
Our second enduring idea that we want our students to return to throughout their lives is that a phalanx of interrelated environmental problems faces the human species today, each of which is exacerbated by overpopulation. While these global issues may feel both overwhelming and unapproachable, during the autumn of the 6th grade year, we teach that these problems are linked, while several are causal, one giving way to the other, and all have their roots in practices found in Mesopotamia.
First, I share excerpts from both J.F. Rischard's book High Noon and Jared Diamond's history Collapse. These texts detail mutually supporting environmental troubles (Rischard lists 20; Diamond 11) that work today in a kind of grim synergy: global warming, deforestation, biodiversity loss, fisheries depletion, and water shortages, among them. Then I share excerpts from Clive Ponting's A New Green History of the World, in which he argues that each empire, whether Sumerian, Egyptian, Roman, or Mayan, follows the same paradigm during its downfall: first they clear the land of trees, then erect massive irrigation systems, then they farm monocultures, which leads to erosion and overwatering of inadequate soils, then desertification follows, and eventually the empire collapses.
Another issue we want our students to investigate, as part of this second enduring understanding, is that these difficulties are mutually supporting spokes of a wheel that continue today to roll over the backs of billions, especially in the Southern Hemisphere. "It is wrong to grow temperate-zone vegetables [as monocrops for export, such as bananas] in the tropics and fly them back to rich consumers," Vandana Shiva writes in Soil Not Oil, articulating some of the sometimes hidden interplay between injustice and ecology. "This uproots local peasants, creates hunger and poverty, and destroys local agrobiodiversity. . . . Since vegetables and fruits are perishable, transporting them long distances is highly energy-intensive, contributing to climate change." When lands are cleared for these exports, pesticides and inorganic nitrate fertilizers are typically poured into the diminishing soil, which then invites pests and disease—as monocultures have easier genetic codes to crack than biodiverse fields—which in turn increases the need to clear and deforest more land for cultivation. Healthy economies and ecosystems overseas are compromised, even ruined, by the industrialized global food system.
Instead of simply cataloging wrongdoing across the world and assigning blame, though—which in the end is counterproductive to the empathic civilization that we hope to create—we 6th grade teachers like to move quickly to our third enduring understanding, which seeks to empower the students with problem-solving strategies.
The third enduring understanding we unpack for our students is that just as the current global crises are interwoven, multiple solutions will be employed this century on an international scale, but we, paradoxically, might most easily help on campus by studying local, organic food, responsible water use, and enlightened community engagement. If we grow organic vegetables at school in raised beds using low-evaporation drip irrigation, using seed we've collected from the previous year, and then we later harvest and eat that produce at lunch in our salad bar, we show the students how to support healthy, local, biodiverse economies—and overseas farming economies, by extension, who might convert their fields back to feeding their own people—while also reducing the use of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides, as well as diminishing global warming that follows energy-intensive global packaging, refrigeration, and shipping.
It's our job as educators to resist dichotomous, simplistic, silver-bullet thinking; rather, we strive to admit the complex truths and to problem-solve collaboratively across coalitions and issues. We resist cynicism, hopelessness, and paralyzing guilt as we explore these topics with our students. When we look to the past with our students, we can see the choices our ancestors made when they settled around reliable food sources in the Middle East at the end of the last ice age, building the world's first cities, and we can imagine remaking our future cities this century with smaller carbon footprints.
Our fourth enduring understanding is that the stories a culture tells itself about its origins, its purpose, and its future will determine to a large extent that culture's ability to survive the tests of time. I find that I am able to present both the intersecting predicaments of our contemporary world and the possible solutions by retelling the oldest stories humanity has told itself about its creation, its place in the cosmos, its meaning and purpose. I therefore teach Gilgamesh, the first of all written stories, from Mesopotamia, as well as Genesis, perhaps the world's most influential narrative, plus a host of Greek myths, from the beginnings with Gaea and Uranus, through Cronos to Zeus, Prometheus, and Pandora, ending with Deucalion and Pyrrha. Similarities jump out when the three narrative strands are laid side by side: gods create the world, including humanity; humans either lose or try to gain eternal life and fail; gods become displeased with humans and send a flood, killing all except for a favored few, who survive in a boat and then go on to repopulate the world with the gods' blessings. The fact that the oldest stories all focus on an ecological catastrophe similar to the ones featured on our contemporary nightly news is not lost on our students. They see, for example, that global warming is melting the polar ice caps today, threatening coastal civilizations with flooding. If the ice caps melt, our students know, hundreds of millions worldwide will become ecological refugees. Studying the ancient stories in the contexts of both the founding of human civilization and our current ecological predicaments makes sense, then, as we want the students, ultimately, to imagine new narratives for the coming century that will help them create a just global village.
In addition to studying the world's oldest stories, I also teach contemporary dystopian literature (titles include Shipbreaker, Hunger Games, and The House of the Scorpion) to explore a number of possible reactions to our numerous ecological predicaments. Further, I pair the dystopian novels with nonfiction reading of four National Geographic articles on the first civilizations, food insecurity, topsoil loss, and water scarcity. We direct students to identify reasons for civilization collapse in their novels and articles and to imagine resurrections based on sustainable principles involving soil, water, food, housing, and energy production. In groups they create their own civilizations in this century, given certain definitions for advanced civilization, while also not ignoring the ecological challenges we are facing right now.
Taken together, these four enduring understandings undergird our reasons for teaching in the garden. We want to provide students with the backstory for how we got to 2012 as a human species, emphasizing that the study of human history should elicit our empathy rather than condemnation. We also want to provide our students with interpretive lenses through which they can analyze both our current human impact and utter reliance on Earth. Last, we want to offer students the schemata to remake a more sustainable, just, and enjoyable civilization for the world's citizens in the 21st century.
Carter Latendresse has been teaching 6th grade English at Catlin Gabel since 2006. He is also a husband, the father of two including Emma '20, and the garden coordinator on campus.

Lunch with Karl
Karl Lagerfeld arrived promptly for lunch Tuesday at the Mercer lounge for his usual carpaccio, smoked salmon, and red snapper with grilled vegetables. I hadn't been privy to Lagerfeld's witty conversation in two years. Impeccably dressed, he wore skintight Chanel black jeans (that at first glance look like intricate French lace), dark shirt and tie from Hilditch & Key, and an antique set of Suzanne Belperron sapphire and calcédoine pins worn as tie bars. Amanda Harlech (below), in her Montgomery coat lined in brilliant scarlet and two layered androgynous shirts, was ready to talk about work with the überstylist Alex White, who was wearing a sharp, single-breasted Céline camel-hair coat by Phoebe Philo. "I got it in the shop in Paris," said White, who was more interested in talking about her children, like getting up in time to make her son's favorite, chicken teriyaki, for breakfast. Lagerfeld is in town to shoot both Chanel and Fendi ad campaigns. Before departing with his team imported from Paris, including loyal assistants and photography director Eric Pfriender, the designer spoke to me about his latest film—an elegant twenty-minute fantasy he wrote and directed, titled Paris-Shanghai, [www.chanel-news.com] which will be shown at Chanel boutiques in June. Chanel is one of the few luxury brands that can encourage and embrace Lagerfeld's creative passion, like this film, which stars his close friend Harlech as the Duchess of Windsor. I take full credit for introducing designer and muse when, thirteen years ago, I rushed her through a fitting at the Rue Cambon boutique right before attending a Chanel show. In the opening scene, Harlech climbs the famous whitewashed staircase in the Chanel atelier after a fitting to say hello to Coco, played by former couture model Jane Schmitt. Exquisite casting! Lagerfeld didn't have to find a Cedric Gibbons to design his sets. All he had to do was dress Harlech in black grain de poudre, black gloves, period shoes and stockings, and open the doors of Chanel's famous apartment above the couture salon. On the suede sofas they sit, Harlech whispering naughty secrets she learned in Shanghai in Mademoiselle's ear. There are wonderful scenes of Chanel dreaming: a conversation with two workers in sixties Shanghai about how she was inspired by the Chinese invention of quilting for her bags. Marlene Dietrich, played by Heidi Mount, dressed as an admiral in forties Shanghai. Dietrich's Shanghai Express is woven into the narrative, and the train set had to cost a fortune to construct. Lagerfeld cleverly has inserted Coco Chanel into the private railway compartment. Dietrich tells Mademoiselle she doesn't wear No 5 but Gardenia, "like the flower." The film ends with Harlech as a Chinese dowager empress who shares the throne with her son. What makes the whole thing work is the attention to detail, the same type of dedication and perfection you see in a Visconti or Kurosawa film. I just bought a boxed set of 25 Kurosawa films—my latest obsession—so I asked Lagerfeld if he likes the Japanese director. "Yes, I like Kurosawa, but that's not the type of film I am going to make" was his reply. He doesn't realize how similar, in my view, their aesthetics are. Before he waltzed off to shoot his campaign, I asked him about couture clients. There are still the Americans—Jayne Wrightsman, Marie-Josée Kravis—who have Chanel suits delivered in those great white matte Chanel boxes, but the new clients are women who might order 26 couture looks in half an hour. No names, but they come from the Middle East. Lagerfeld is already at work on his next film, which will debut in St.-Tropez in May along with his cruise collection.

▪ 2013 ▶
Marriage Equality and LGBT Older Adults. In March 2013, SAGE was proud to support longtime SAGE volunteer leader Edie Windsor by filing a brief in the Supreme Court of the United States in support of her constitutional challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). SAGE's brief outlines the ways in which LGBT elders are especially hurt by discrimination against same-sex couples as embodied in DOMA. SAGE was joined in the brief by the American Society on Aging, National Hispanic Council on Aging, National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives, National Senior Citizens Law Center, and Southeast Asia Resource Action Center. Windsor v. United States highlights a number of ways that DOMA harms older legally married same-sex couples in areas such as Social Security, retirement benefits and health. In addition, to illustrate the real impact of DOMA on older couples, SAGE partnered with Freedom to Marry to collect and disseminate the stories of several couples whose committed relationships are not federally recognized—and how this has negatively impacted their lives.
HIV and Aging. Within a few years, nearly one in two people with HIV in this country will be age 50 and older, many of whom are LGBT. SAGE and our partner organizations, the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA) and Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), continue to advocate for, and raise awareness about, the policy barriers facing older adults with HIV. Our top priorities include asking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to: recommend "routine" HIV testing for all adults; report surveillance data in five-year increments across multiple risk categories; and increase funding for targeted preventions for older adults, most notably among older MSMs (men who have sex with men) of color and older women of color, where the highest disparities are reported. In February 2013, SAGE and our partner organizations spoke with the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention at CDC about our priorities, and the Division agreed to work with us to explore how to feature older adults in the CDC's anti-stigma, "Let's stop HIV together," with a focus on New York City, the District of Columbia, and other potential locations throughout the country.
LGBT Elders Tell Their Stories. In January 2013, SAGE launched SAGE Story, an original, national digital storytelling program for LGBT older adults. This program aims to: develop LGBT older people as storytellers and spokespeople; collect a national library of online stories that portray the multiple aspects of aging as diverse LGBT people; infuse LGBT elder stories into mainstream media coverage; reduce isolation and create community among LGBT elders through local storytelling workshops in SAGE sites around the country; and bring an elder perspective to local and national advocacy initiatives on LGBT rights. SAGE Story garnered significant attention in its first few months—SAGE has partnered with Freedom to Marry and The Moth on storytelling projects, and was invited to present the program at national conferences for the American Society on Aging and the National Association of Nutrition and Aging Services. The launch of SAGE Story was generously supported by the AARP Foundation and Ford Foundation.
Transgender Older Adults and Social Security. In January 2013, in response to advocacy co-led by SAGE and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE), the Leadership Council of Aging Organizations issued a letter (with 29 undersigned aging organizations) to the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA) urging SSA to: adopt evidentiary standards for changing gender markers on Social Security records that are consistent with those required for making the same changes to U.S. passports, and consider the elimination of gender data in all of its computer matching programs to further minimize the risk of unintentionally outing transgender people. If implemented, these changes would ease the burden on transgender people who, like most people, rely on Social Security cards for daily reasons—yet are often treated unfairly if their gender identities do not match the sex noted on their birth certificates. Having the support of LCAO—a consortium of more than 65 leading national aging organizations—shows that there is now support among many mainstream aging organizations for transgender elders.
▪ 2012 ▶
SAGENet Inspires and Builds Existing and New Affiliates. In November 2012, SAGE convened our affiliate leaders from around the country, hosting 36 SAGENet leaders from 20 affiliates and three potential new affiliates (Raleigh, NC; Madison, WI; Western Suburbs Chicago, IL). Over the course of three days, attendees participated in 16 professional development trainings, networking and social events. The speakers included a public panel of prominent Chicago-area providers, SAGE staff, affiliate leaders, constituents, and experts. Of the gathering, one person commented, "It was so instructive to meet both the existing and the potential groups and to see how much they are accomplishing. What an inspiration these folks are in their dedication to 'the cause' that we are all working toward. Of course, we are all at various stages of development and accomplishment, but to see the possibilities has been a true inspiration."
SAGE Brings Data Collection and LGBT Elder Health to the Forefront. Improving data collection on LGBT older people helps illustrate broader health disparities and supports patient-care when that data is collected as part of a patient intake process or through an electronic health record—actions that can spur policy change and improve LGBT older adults' health. In October 2012, SAGE attended the National Institute of Medicine (IOM) Data Collection meeting "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data Collection in Electronic Health Records: A Workshop." SAGE made sure that IOM representatives heard the voices of LGBT older adults and understood the importance of data collection to our community. In December, IOM released a report entitled, "Collecting Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data in Electronic Health Records - Workshop Summary," citing SAGE in its advocacy for LGBT older adults.
A Bill for LGBT Elders in the OAA. In September 2012, Sen. Michael Bennett (D-CO) introduced the LGBT Elder Americans Act of 2012, which would amend the OAA to address the concerns noted above and provide equal treatment of LGBT older adults. Among the bill's proposals for the OAA is an amendment that would specify LGBT older adults as a population in "greatest social need," as well as an amendment that would permanently establish the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging, which provides LGBT cultural competence training to aging providers around the country. Other amendments include a proposal to increase funding for research and programs aimed at LGBT elders; a proposal to require long-term care ombudsmen to collect data relating to discrimination against LGBT older adults; and a proposal to enhance reporting requirements from area and state agencies on aging on their services to LGBT older adults.
THE ADMINISTRATION ON AGING ISSUES IMPORTANT NEW GUIDANCE THAT BENEFITS LGBT OLDER PEOPLE. In July 2012, after a year of policy guidance offered by SAGE—in collaboration with a number of partner organizations in Washington, DC, including the Human Rights Campaign—the Administration on Aging (AoA) issued guidance that empowers the country's Aging Network to consider LGBT older adults as a population of "greatest social need."
GEORGE STEWART, SAGE CONSTITUENT, NAMED A WHITE HOUSE CHAMPION OF CHANGE. In June 2012, George Stewart, a member of the NYC SAGE Communities Advisory Council, was officially selected as one of six White House Champions of Change thanks to a video submitted by SAGE to a national LGBT Pride Month video challenge.
A FEDERAL POLICY COALITION FOR MARGINALIZED OLDER PEOPLE. As one of the founding organizations in the Diverse Elders Coalition, in July 2012 SAGE co-released a policy report on the economic security issues facing elders of color and LGBT elders. To discuss the findings, SAGE and its six partner organizations in the coalition held a Congressional briefing on July 25. Additionally, SAGE helped launch an original news site on the issues facing our diverse communities.
SPOTLIGHT ON TRANSGENDER ELDERS. At the Philly Trans Health Conference in late May, SAGE and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) released a historic report on transgender aging. Improving the Lives of Transgender Older Adults: Recommendations for Policy and Practice offers more than 60 recommendations to policy makers, researchers, and aging and health care professionals on the issues facing transgender older adults. This report makes a significant contribution to the aging field, serving as the first of its kind to comprehensively examine this growing yet neglected population. This publication was informed by an advisory committee of 18 experts nationwide from different disciplines, which was convened as part of the Transgender Aging Advocacy Initiative in 2011, co-led by SAGE and NCTE.
WHITE HOUSE LGBT CONFERENCE ON AGING. On May 7, 2012, SAGE partnered with the White House to host the first ever White House LGBT Conference on Aging. The conference was held in Miami, Florida at the Center on Aging at the University of Miami, a close partner organization of SAGE. More than 150 advocates, community leaders, and members of the public attended the conference from both the local area and from around the country to discuss the health, housing, and security needs of aging members of the LGBT community.
SOCIAL SECURITY LEGISLATION AND PRESS CONFERENCE. In April 2012, SAGE worked with the LA Gay & Lesbian Center and the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force to host a Washington, DC press conference to announce the introduction of legislation by Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (D-CA) that would eliminate discrimination against same-sex couples in Social Security.
NATIONAL WHITE HOUSE TELECONFERENCE. On April 13, 2012, SAGE organized and hosted a national teleconference with the White House and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Policy makers, constituents and allies joined the White House Office of Public Engagement, HHS and SAGE for this call to discuss the progress being made to support older Americans who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender.
HIV AND AGING ADVOCACY. In April 2012, SAGE took part in an HIV and aging webinar aimed at community health centers around the country. The webinar was sponsored by the National Council on Aging in partnership with the Administration on Aging. A few weeks later, we led a federal HIV policy briefing for the "Connecting HIV and Aging Programs and Policies" gathering in New York, co-led by the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies and SAGE. And on July 25, SAGE, ACRIA (AIDS Community Research Initiative of America) and GMHC worked with the International AIDS Conference to host a satellite conference on global issues related to HIV and aging, funded by MAC AIDS Fund.
SAGE'S MULTI-STATE ADVOCACY INITIATIVE FOR MEDICAID PROTECTIONS. In February 2012, SAGE launched its Spousal Impoverishment Protections Initiative, a multi-year initiative to support advocates at the state level in extending spousal impoverishment protections under Medicaid to same-sex couples. This initiative builds on SAGE's leading advocacy on this issue since 2010.
▪ 2011 ▶
SAGE SPEAKS AT HUD LGBT ELDER HOUSING SUMMIT. In December 2011, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in partnership with the Administration on Aging and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, held an LGBT Elder Housing Summit to discuss LGBT older adults' housing needs and existing efforts to fund and support current LGBT- affirming housing. At the daylong meeting, SAGE spoke on various panels, along with national leaders and aging professionals from a variety of organizations, including the Administration on Aging; the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing, the National Center for Transgender Equality, AARP, and the Beasley School of Law.
SAGE SPONSORS POLICY JOURNAL ISSUE DEDICATED TO LGBT AGING. In November 2011, SAGE and the National Academy on an Aging Society (the policy institute of the Gerontological Society of America) released the first-ever issue of the acclaimed Public Policy & Aging Report (PPAR) dedicated to LGBT aging. PPAR is distributed to thousands of thought leaders in the aging field, and explores policy issues generated by the aging of American society.
SAGE SPEAKS AT CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFING ON LGBT AGING. On November 9, SAGE Executive Director Michael Adams spoke at a Congressional briefing to discuss the current policy issues facing LGBT older adults. Sponsored by the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus and Congress members Tammy Baldwin, Barney Frank, Jared Polis, and David Cicilline, the briefing was attended by nearly 75 representatives from Congress as well as national aging and LGBT organizations. The briefing also featured the release of The Aging and Health Report: Disparities and Resilience among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Older Adults by lead researcher Dr. Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen. Other speakers at the briefing included Kathy Greenlee, Assistant Secretary for Aging, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and Jeff Krehely, Director of the LGBT Research and Communications Project, Center for American Progress.
SAGENET GATHERING AND FIRST-EVER NATIONAL ADVOCACY INSTITUTE. In October 2011, SAGE held its annual SAGENet Gathering, hosting its affiliates in St. Louis, MO. The gathering included trainings and sessions on how to build effective coalitions; a multigenerational conversation dealing with ageism; a section on bridging racial justice and LGBT issues (led by Rinku Sen, Executive Director of the Applied Research Center, the country's premier think tank on race); a "policy café" on current policy issues such as the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act and HIV and Aging; and a half-day advocacy institute with the Williams Institute on Spousal Impoverishment Protections. In addition, SAGENet leaders were able to share their program ideas with each other throughout the two days, and most of them stayed in St. Louis for two additional days to attend the "Train the Trainers" session to master the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging's curriculum. In total, 35 people attended, and evaluations of the gathering showed that the gathering was a resounding success.
THE AGING FACE OF HIV. SAGE Executive Director Michael Adams spoke at the first White House Conference on HIV and Aging, held on October 27, 2011, which brought together leading advocates from around the country to discuss program interventions and policy solutions that will better support the first generation of older adults to live and age with HIV/AIDS in large numbers. Research shows that by 2015, the majority of people with HIV in the United States will be age 50 and older.
SAGE WORKS WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES TO SUPPORT LGBT ELDERS. As part of our partnership with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, SAGE and other members of the Task Force's New Beginning Initiative met with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in July 2011 to discuss how HHS can support LGBT older adults through enhanced non-discrimination policies, better research and data collection, cultural competence trainings, updated forms and broad definitions of "family," and designations of "greatest social need" through the Older Americans Act. SAGE and the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging are also working with NBI and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to develop an online tool created by CMS that would train staff working in long-term care facilities nationwide on the rights and needs of LGBT elders.
SAGE ADVOCATES ON HIV ISSUES AT FEDERAL LEVEL. In July 2011, as part of our HIV and aging advocacy collaborative with GMHC and ACRIA, SAGE met with various leaders at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to discuss the importance of funding interventions and reforming policies that address an aging population with HIV/AIDS.
HEALTH SUPPORTS FOR LGBT ELDERS. In June 2011, SAGE (as part of the Diverse Elders Coalition) successfully advised the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council—an entity established through health care reform—on its National Prevention Strategy to make it more inclusive of diverse older people. The coalition first submitted a research memo in early 2011 to the National Prevention Council that detailed the numerous health disparities facing elders of color and LGBT elders. A few months later, the coalition followed up with six precise recommendations. When the National Prevention Council released its National Prevention Strategy in June 2011, the coalition saw several of its recommendations integrated into the administration's large-scale, multi-year health plan, including various references to age, sexual orientation, cultural and linguistic competence, and the need to address health disparities—all of which made this preeminent document more responsive to elders of color and LGBT elders.
FEDERAL VICTORY ON MEDICAID PROTECTIONS. After years of advocacy led by SAGE in partnership with Lambda Legal and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, in April 2011 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced that it would notify states about their abilities to treat same-sex couples the same as married heterosexual couples when it comes to protection from "spousal impoverishment" under Medicaid. In June, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services provided this guidance to the state Medicaid agencies—and SAGE began working to launch a state-by-state national project to extend these protections to same-sex couples. In February 2012, SAGE launched its Spousal Impoverishment Protections Initiative.
SAGE JOINS DIRECT CARE CAMPAIGN. In April 2011, SAGE joined the Caring Across Generations campaign, led by the National Domestic Workers Alliance and Jobs with Justice, as part of an effort to enact legislation that would create millions of well-paid jobs in direct care work, enforce labor standards for hundreds of thousands of direct care workers, provide a path to legalization, and career opportunities so that economic uplift becomes a reality. SAGE is bringing its perspective on the unique caregiving realities of LGBT elders, many of whom rely on friends and other "families of choice" for caregiving support.
LEADING AGING ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORT LGBT ELDERS IN FEDERAL POLICY. April 2011, SAGE helped move eight LGBT-specific recommendations through the official consensus document on the Older Americans Act reauthorization for the Leadership Council of Aging Organizations (LCAO), a 65-member association comprising the country's leading aging organizations. SAGE is the only LGBT organization represented on the council. The recommendations included defining "greatest social need" and "minority" in the OAA to explicitly name LGBT older adults, as well as urging that all future data collection efforts, project assessments and reporting requirements offered through OAA track LGBT older adults.
SAGE RELEASES POLICY BRIEF ON OLDER AMERICANS ACT. In March 2011, SAGE released a new policy brief on the pending reauthorization of the Older Americans Act (OAA). This timely report discussed how the Act could address the health and social barriers LGBT older adults face when seeking services and programs, and recommendations for making the act more LGBT- affirming so that all older adults can age successfully and with dignity.
▪ 2010 ▶
PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN ON SOCIAL SECURITY. SAGE joins the National Hispanic Council on Aging and the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center to launch a joint community education and engagement project on Social Security, helping to make heard an often marginalized voice in the public debate on Social Security. The materials are produced in multiple languages and published in both ethnic media and LGBT media. The project is funded by the National Academy for Social Insurance. A month later, in the midst of President Obama's Bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, and the looming release of a controversial plan that could jeopardize the future of Social Security, SAGE issues a media release about the program's importance to diverse older people.
THE FUTURE OF AGING IS IN OUR HANDS. On November 13-15, 2010, SAGE held its first-ever national conference created by, for and about LGBT older adults, "The Future of Aging Is in Our Hands." This unique conference brought together LGBT older adults from around the country for three days of interactive workshops, exciting plenary sessions and multiple networking opportunities, providing LGBT older adults with the resources they need to advocate on their own behalf—and reshape the future of LGBT aging.
CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFING ON LGBT ELDERS AND ELDERS OF COLOR. In September 2010, as part of the National Hispanic Council on Aging's national conference in Washington, DC, SAGE joined the National Caucus and Center on Black Aged, the National Hispanic Council on Aging and the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center at a joint legislative briefing to discuss how reauthorization of the Older Americans Act can help improve supports for older people in our communities.
HOSPITAL RIGHTS FOR LGBT FAMILIES. SAGE applauded President Obama's historic April memorandum directing the Department of Health and Human Services to require that hospitals accepting Medicare and Medicaid dollars—nearly every hospital in America—recognize a patient's "designated partner" in terms of visitation and health consultation rights.
A BRIEFING FOR CONGRESS ON OUR LIVES. SAGE spoke at an April Congressional briefing on LGBT issues led by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force—a precursor to SAGE's gathering of the National LGBT Aging Roundtable. Nearly 60 people attended the briefing, including the legislative directors of Representatives Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), and representatives from the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging, National Association of State Units on Aging and the National Senior Citizens Law Center, among many others.
SOCIAL SECURITY AND LGBT ELDERS. SAGE joined the "Strengthen Social Security" campaign, led by a coalition of national organizations that have come together to bolster the Social Security system and challenge attempts to cut the program's benefits. In addition to supporting a unified effort that would preserve a critical safety net for older Americans, SAGE is raising awareness on how Social Security rules deny spousal benefits, survivor benefits and death benefits to LGBT older adults.
A BLUEPRINT FOR LGBT AGING ADVOCACY. In March 2010, SAGE released its report (co-authored with the Movement Advancement Project), Improving the Lives of LGBT Older Adults, at the American Society on Aging's national conference in Chicago. The groundbreaking report—in partnership with The American Society on Aging, the Center for American Progress (CAP) and the National Senior Citizens Law Center— is the first major written collaboration between LGBT advocacy organizations and national aging organizations to comprehensively examine the issues facing LGBT older adults. In November 2010, SAGE works with MAP and CAP to release a variety of companion issue briefs to the report.
A FEDERAL PRESENCE FOR LGBT ELDERS. SAGE opened an office in Washington, DC, effectively launching a federal program to bring an LGBT aging voice to the policy discussions on aging—and improve the lives of LGBT older people. SAGE's office is located at the national headquarters of the National Caucus and Center on Black Aged, Inc.

PACT is open to everyone, not just white middle class students, and I should know, because that does not describe my family and our child attends PACT. You write:"Our neighborhood schools are bulging at the seams and they will continue to do so"; and then continue on that we should then solve the problem by increasing Teacher pay. How is that going to solve the problem? PACT didn't actually ask to be moved, by the way, but the dual immersion program refused to do so. Something has to be done!
on Dec 12, 2008 at 9:23 am
I am saddened to see Gisah de Freitas (and the Voice) get things so wrong about the proposed school move. The problem being addressed here is the overcrowding of Castro school and the resultant threat to the safety and well-being of its students -- all of them. Moving 200 students -- any 200 students -- away from Castro alleviates the overcrowding that is currently straining its resources so badly and keeping its children from having enough time to do things like use the bathroom and eat lunch. Neither Dual Immersion nor the neighborhood students can be moved. Only one population of parents and students is willing to be uprooted (again). If the district has a different place to put PACT, let them, and let the Castro neighborhood students who have been bussed away return to their neighborhood school, freeing up space throughout the district.
on Dec 12, 2008 at 9:26 am
The Voice should get its facts straight about the proposed renovation of Stevenson School. The money to pay for its renovation would come from a dedicated Construction/Renovation budget, not from teachers' salaries or any other fund. That's money that can only be used to construct or renovate schools. What better way to use it than to open a new elementary school campus and take some of the strain off the existing schools? In fact, why not open an even bigger campus, to draw more students away from the other schools?

Police are investigating a possible kidnapping in Northside and related car accident in College Hill.
Authorities received a report of a woman and two small children being kidnapped by a man, just after 10 p.m. in Northside. The report said the victims were being taken to Bercliff Avenue.
Police were alerted to look out for a gold 2001 Chevy vehicle. An officer spotted a similar looking car while staking out the area and attempted to pull it over.
The vehicle, a white Honda, reportedly took off, ensuing a police chase and eventually ending in a crash at Cedar and Lantana Avenue in College Hill. The Honda hit a Kia, and the two cars struck a nearby home, as a result of the collision.
Upon further investigation, authorities learned the driver in the chase was not related to the reported kidnapping in Northside. The driver who fled the scene reportedly had outstanding warrants for his arrest.
Both the driver and a female passenger were injured in the accident and taken to the hospital. The driver of the Kia was also taken to the hospital. Their conditions have not yet been released.
Meanwhile, the original suspect was arrested in Northside without incident.

Switching to Android! - Nexus 4 + iPad + Mac = ?
Hey everyone,
Recently I have decided to make the switch from iOS to Android (Jelly Bean obviously being the deciding factor). The post is about deciding factors of the switch to Android, what phone I am going to get, how I'm gonna get it and help from you guys on how it will work together with OS X and iOS...
The combo OS
"4.2 iOS X "
I would say the best Apple product is OS X, the best desktop OS out there, thus my computer is undoubtedly a Mac. My tablet is a 64GB iPad 4 (black) as the tablet ecosystem in iOS is unrivalled. I would probably stitch this altogether with Netflix, iTunes and an Apple and Google TV (suggestions welcome). With a dash of Android...
The phone OS
"Android is calling..."
I finally saw an "as polished as iOS" phone OS. It just seems nicer than iOS. Cooler. Awesomer.
I AM NOT saying iOS is bad - just outdated - it's amazingly solid,but I just don't think it's for me on an iPhone anymore.
I have decided to switch to Android because of 4.2 Jelly Bean. Since the 4.1 update Android has caught my eye.
There is just something about Jelly Bean, there's an X-Factor that iOS just doesn't have. Android is calling...and I am answering.
The phone
Ahhhh, now choosing the phone. So many Android phones.
"I arrived at the Nexus 4. How?"
Well. The first being stock Android.
"Stock rocks."
In iOS 5.1.1 I jailbroke my iPhone. The amount of tweaks, apps and hacks I actually liked was crazy. The crazy number was 2. Yep, thats right. TWO. And all they where was Installous (cracked apps, bad of m) and MxTube (YouTube downloader). The upgrade to iOS 6.0.1 still hasn't brought a steady jailbreak, so I'll skip that.
I hate Sense, TouchWiz and pretty much ANY Android skin you can name, the skin and the fact that you only get update a year down the line urks me. So stock is the way to go. I know I can root and then flash CM 10 on most Android devices, but its a pretty major pain from what I have heard. This rules out 2 out of 3 of my options - GS III and One X. I would want to root the Nexus 4 for the odd tweak, but I would keep the ROM stock.
The second thing is hardware.
"The Nexus 4 according to Google is the fastest phone in the world. What they mean't to say is the fastest worldwide phone."
The US (Galaxy) S3 matches the Nexus 4 spec by spec in a lot of areas, but thats the US S3. Not the worldwide one.
The Nexus 4 has a whopping 2 GB of RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro powering a 320 ppi IPS 4.7" display. Other tech specs include wireless charging, NFC, an 8MP rear facing camera and Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
The third is price.
The price tag? For 16GB. A staggering $399. Half that of the international Galaxy S3!
The problems
"There is however no LTE. No problem. Why?. Let me explain."
LTE. I live in South Africa. Commercial LTE launched in Joburg 1 week ago. Limited coverage. Go figure. I'm moving to a 3G only part of SA. Thus I will get those HSPA+ speeds. WiFi will be fast there and hardly anyone uses the 3G network. I'm cool. Cool without LTE.
"Getting it here is gonna be a pain!"
Getting it here maybe hard. That is, if it doesn't come here (which LG SA seems to indicate, but Dion Wired (countrywide tech retailer) says they are trying very hard to get in) (The Nexus 7 32GB arrives here in 2 weeks which could also mean the 10 and 4 will follow). It could also get shipped to my gran in the UK via Amazon, as she visits SA a lot. Suggestions?
Speccing it
"16GB now or 32/64GB later?"
I really feel like 16GB isn't enough. There is a chance in 3 months that higher GB come out but it's not certain. Thoughts?
Help with the Android switch?
Do you have any ideas for making the iOS, Android and OS X combo easier? Tips and tricks? Useful software? Anything? Please post in the comments below ---->
"Thanks for reading and helping out!"

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Oscar-nominated film "Beasts of the Southern Wild" has gotten Michelle Obama's ringing endorsement.
The first lady played host Wednesday at a White House workshop for about 80 middle- and high-school students from the District of Columbia and New Orleans, where the movie was set. Students saw the film, then got to question cast members and the director.
Mrs. Obama said she saw "Beasts" over the summer and considers it one of the most powerful and important movies released in a long time.
The film tells the mythical tale of a 6-year-old girl named Hushpuppy struggling to survive in the southern Delta with her ailing father as a storm approaches. Her world consists of a small but tightly-knit shantytown community on the bayou with wild animals, both real and imagined.

I guess that headline implies that there's a lot of Nick Punto in the Cardinals' Game 1 starting lineup. In truth, there's only one Nick Punto in the Cardinals' Game 1 starting lineup, but that's one more Nick Punto than I expected.
Rafael Furcal#, SS
Jon Jay*, CF
Albert Pujols, 1B
Matt Holliday, LF
Lance Berkman#, RF
David Freese, 3B
Yadier Molina, C
Nick Punto#, 2B
Chris Carpenter, SP
Punto draws the start at second base against the left-handed C.J. Wilson over Ryan Theriot, despite the following career numbers against left-handed pitchers:
Punto: .649 OPS
Theriot: .775 OPS
Punto is a good defensive infielder, so that helps, but the same goes for Theriot, too. This sounds an awful lot like Tony La Russa playing a hunch, although he might say that he's "playing the best defenders" even though Theriot's overall value is probably higher than Punto's.
The other surprise in here is Jon Jay batting second. You'll notice that Jay is the only left-handed hitter in the lineup. C.J. Wilson has forever been carbon-based death to left-handed hitters, limiting them to a career .560 OPS with three times as many strikeouts as walks. Batting order doesn't matter very much and you can never predict what'll happen in one single game, but Jay doesn't belong at #2. Not for Game 1. That is a minor but suboptimal decision.

Streaming Croatian Internet Radio
The Croatian Music-Industry wants royalties for their songs/music being played over the Internet. Croatians around the world are now not able to listen to Croatian Radio Live. The Croatian Music Industry needs to realize that people will only buy music of new artists if they have heard their songs before, how will we hear a new artist for the first time. The Petition will be sent to Croatia Records.
I have listened to Croatian Radio live over the Internet for years now and want it to return, I want to listen to Croatian music not English music. I also enjoy listening to Conversations on the Radio, this is how the Croatian Language is retained. http://www.photocroatia.com http://www.photocroatia.com

A picture of a dog shot with an arrow on Facebook prompted social media users to help.
"You can save dogs 24/7 on Facebook," said animal advocate Heath Bodden.
A man driving by American Used Trucks on 31st S. Ave. in Tampa snapped a picture of the dog with an arrow sticking through its ribs Friday night. His ex-wife posted it to her Facebook page and soon animal lovers across the Bay area were commenting on it.
"I knew that I needed to do something," said Bodden.
Bodden drove to the address on the picture and learned concerned workers there had already reported the injured stray to authorities earlier in the week.
"That person doesn't have a heart," said American Used Trucks employee Carolina Villegas. "It's just horrible."
Dog trappers came to the business Wednesday, but were unable to catch the scared female lab mix. Bodden called 911 Friday night.
"We sent a team of officers out this morning to tranquilize the dog and bring it back to the shelter,' said Hillsborough Animal Services Director Ian Hallett.
A Hillsborough Animal Services vet performed emergency surgery to remove the arrow Saturday afternoon.
"Once we got inside, we found several vital organs injured and a lot of infection had already set in," said Hallett.
The dog had to be euthanized. Bodden says there is a way to memorialize her. Someone at the scrap yard saw his animal rescue van Saturday morning and asked him to help a homeless cat and her four kittens.
"In honor of this dog now being in heaven, we can save those cats," said Bodden.
Anyone interested in rescuing the cats can call him at (813) 495-3728.
Investigators don't have any leads on who shot the dog. They are urging anyone who knows to call Hillsborough County Animal Services at (813) 744-5660.

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - Over the course of the next two weeks, crews from the Spokane Valley Fire Department will be practicing extrication techniques at Spalding's Wrecking Yard.
If you happen to be driving by, please don't call 911, this is just training.
Extrication is a very technically difficult rescue for emergency crews to perform.
It is also something that requires a lot of practice and training.
They will be using cars donated by Spaldings.

As Celtic fans we all remember where we were when certain events took place. I remember where I was when I heard Len Bias and Reggie Lewis died. I also remember where I was when I heard Chauncey Billups was traded for Kenny Anderson, when Joe Johnson was traded for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers, when Jerry Sichting was traded for Jim Paxson, and when they lost out on the lottery in 1997 and 2007. There's a lot of other moments too.
But certain moments the entire world remembers.
I had turned 23 about 5 weeks earlier and had finally moved out of my parents' place. I had officially moved into my new apartment in
on Thursday, September 6th. White Plains, NY
I worked in Long Island and would take the
to work everyday, still in my beat-up Green Ford Taurus that I had from the previous year in college. I had had the job out there since May and every single morning I drove out there and was on the bridge I'd look out at 2 things in the Throgs Neck Bridge Manhattan skyline: the Empire State Building first, then the . I had always been in awe of all 3 buildings. World Trade Center
I remember that morning like it was yesterday. My job began 8:30 so I crossed the bridge around 8 am, before any of the events would take place. I recall looking out at the towers, shining beautifully from the sun. It was the last time I'd see them standing.
When the whole thing happened at work our phones went out just like everyone else's in the area. My company was small, about 6 people, and I was the last one to leave. I had made an attempt around 1 but since I didn't know
Long Island that well, I wound up driving in a circle back to my office. It seemed everywhere was blocked, and the traffic was at a standstill. This was in Lake Success which is a solid 20-25 miles from Lower Manhattan, but with the congestion on the roads you'd think it was a mile away.
I went back to my desk at work and fell asleep sitting there. I was tuning everything out. I woke up around 5 and remember leaving again to make the effort to go home. When I left my building there was a guy, named
, towards the front of my office. He was sitting there crying. I had nothing to say. Wayne
Traffic was still crazy but after asking a few cops along the way, I managed to find an entrance onto the
Grand Central Parkway in Queens. The blackness of the sky was overpowering as I entered onto the parkway.
I remember getting back onto the
, not seeing very many cars then. One car I recall, had a guy with glasses. I passed him on the right as he was staring out at Throgs Neck Bridge Lower Manhattan. The bridge was free that day, the blocks at the toll were up, trying to make traffic move as quickly as possible.
My life had changed forever. It still pains me every, single time when I look out at the skyline and see the
sticking out alone. It's as if it lost its two brothers downtown. I'm pained and enraged. Empire State Building
Today I still can't help but look up at every airplane flying low, scared to see what may happen. That never happened until that day. I wonder if it'll ever go back to being the way it was.tb727 9/11/2009 12:02:00 AM Tweet

Welcome to one of the most celebrated and oldest Scout groups in the country, and dare we say the world. Read on and find out more about the group and the "Hut".

The Duke Blue Devils have received bad news ahead of their Chick-fil-A Bowl appearance against the Texas A&M Aggies, as leading rusher Jela Duncan has been suspended through next season due to a violation of university policy.
#Duke announces leading rusher Jela Duncan has been suspended for violation of university academic policy. Will be gone all next year, too
— Laura Keeley (@laurakeeley) December 21, 2013
Duncan will be eligible at the start of the Spring 2015 semester, and can redshirt the year he misses. The specific violation is unknown, but the penalty is in accordance with that of students caught cheating at the university.
The sophomore was a major part of Duke's surprise 10-win campaign this season, leading the team with 562 rushing yards on 113 carries -- good for nearly five yards per rush. He scored four total touchdowns on the year, and the Blue Devils will look to Josh Snead and Shaquille Powell to fill the void, both against the Aggies and for all of next season.

I often purchase it, in the mid 1980's, later it become hard to find in the department stores especially at the mall. To my surprise,every now and then, I would come to find a bottle of the 273 Fred Hayman perfume and without a doubt I purchased it or them. The shape of the box and bottle is an easy way to locate it in the counter, what a great design for my field in trying to spy it, as the shape of the bottle and color of the box is an easy attraction like a give it away. I realy enjoy the everlasting soft scent it has on my clothing through the late evening. I always received compliments. I learned with experience, this type of fragrance stays with me all day without having to spray more on me and other people notice before I did. The 273 Fred Hayman perfume became a discontinued fragrance in the mall as did other department stores. To tell you the turth, I am unable to find any fragrance that has the same soft, romantic scent. I have a feeling I will see this famous and authentic product on counters again, because it instilled an everlasting liking in my life as when I last wore it, because it carries a message to my neighbor, like saying you smell good, what kind of perfume do you wear, almost like wanting to taking a part of my dulce flore so others can scent it's sweet, glamorous fragrance. No matter the size of the bottle and color of the perfume, judge its romantic, dulce flore scent it leaves behind and has on others. GOLDMars

This has been my only perfume since 1989 and I use it daily - I always compliments from other women. I believe my body chemistry goes well with the scent of 273 because I've had other women try it and it was not the same on them. I hope they never stop making this perfume - I am counting on FragranceX to carry it forever!
