400,000 rally for social justice across the country
'March of a Million' called "climax" of mass-protest phase; events held in TA, Jerusalem, Haifa, Afula, Karmiel, Eilat.
The demonstrations were held under the banner "They [the government] only understand numbers."
Saturday's events were billed by organizers as a turning point, an all-out push for a critical mass of protesters to force the government to present solutions to the issues addressed by the movement.
It was expected to be the climax of the mass-street-protests phase of the movement, before participants fold up their tent cities ahead of a long process of negotiations and dialogue with the government.

Alternative tent protests cast doubt on 'social leaders'
In Tel Aviv, the marchers streamed out of Habima Square at 8 p.m. on their way to Hamedina Square, where the final rally was held. The rally was headlined by Mizrachi music superstar Ayal Golan and featured speeches by protest movement leaders Daphni Leef and Itzik Shmuli, the latter the head of the National Union of Israeli Students.
Rallies were also held in Jerusalem, Haifa, Afula, Karmiel, Eilat and several others cities.
Looking at the multitudes gathering in Tel Aviv's Rothchild Boulevard on Saturday evening, Barak Segel, a member of the group of friends who launched the protests in mid-July, said, "The entire people of Israel have stepped out of their houses to protest. This is one small step for the people of Israel, one giant step for the country."
When asked about speculation that the movement would begin folding up the tent cities across the country, Segel said, "No, they must stay, the tent cities and the protesters are all in this together. Besides, we need to strengthen the tent cities for the winter."
When asked if the turnout represented a success, Roee Neuman, long the spokesman of the leaders of the tent-city protest on Rothschild Boulevard, said: "From my point of view, the atmosphere is amazing here. That's all I can say."
He added that beginning on Sunday, "the protest will enter a new phase. It could be that the campsites become more concentrated and consolidated, but they won't be folded up. The protest will keep going and only get stronger until our demands are met."
As for what the new phase would entail, Neuman said, "There won't be any mass demonstrations in the coming weeks, but there will be in the future. We will be new protest methods beginning tomorrow.
"There are all types of ways to protest without getting tons of people outside their houses," he said, citing economic protests such as boycotts.
When asked about the perception that the movement is dying, Neuman said, "I think all the people who came out here tonight are proof that's wrong."
Shmuli, for weeks one of the leaders of the protest movement, repeatedly called on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to "Let us live in this country."
"Mr. Prime Minister, take a good look at us: We're the new Israelis," Shmuli said. "We want only one thing: To live in this country. We want not only to love the State of Israel, but also to exist here respectfully, and to live with dignity."
Shmuli also mentioned recent talk of folding up the tent cities. "The tents are only the wrapping; the people of Israel are the heart of this movement. We will not stop this protest until you, Mr. Prime Minister, give us real solutions."
The high attendance at Saturday night's events was partly the result of a decision made by the High Court of Justice on Friday afternoon that the Transportation Ministry would run increased numbers of trains, as well as replacement bus services, to allow people to travel to Tel Aviv to take part in the "March of a Million March" protest.
The High Court hearing came in response to a petition filed by attorney Shraga Biran on behalf of the Hitorerut Yerushalayim ("Awakening In Jerusalem") social movement, following an announcement by Israel Railways on Wednesday that it would close the Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Beersheba, Tel Aviv lines on Saturday night to carry out work on the lines.
In Jerusalem, an estimated 50,000 demonstrators crowded into Paris Square, near the Prime Minister's Residence.
Toddlers sitting on shoulders blew plastic trumpets, teenagers in youth movement shirts danced and sang "My Bibi [Netanyahu] has three apartments" to the tune of "Haman's Hat Has Three Corners," and diehard activists waved their well-worn signs as thousands thronged through King George Street.
As with the Saturday night protest a month ago that drew 300,000 across the country, this Saturday's march attracted young mothers, grandparents, 20-somethings, religious, secular and everything in between.
"We came because the older people also need to come and show their support and encourage the younger generation," said Hani, a 60-year-old Jerusalem resident marching with her husband. "There's a real chance that something will change – things have already changed. There's a change in thinking, there's hope for optimism, that the way things were is not the way things are going to be."
Other demonstrators were more cynical.
"I'm pessimistic but trying to be optimistic, I'm doubtful that there will be a big change, but even if there's a small change it will be something," said Lehi, who pushed her 11-month-old son, Tom, in a stroller. Tom had been to many of the protests, said Lehi, adding that perhaps someday he'll be able to look back and say he was at the March of a Million rally in Jerusalem.
"I hope when he is older he will go out and demonstrate for the things that are important to him," she said. "This struggle is not just important to make a change, it's important for the country, that the country stands up. People need to go out and demonstrate for what's important."
The creative antics the protests showed over the past six weeks did not disappoint on Saturday, as a teenager repelled down an abandoned building and did acrobatic flips below a giant banner of Che Guevarra, as the crowd chanted "Rere- revolution!" Within the larger social protest movement are a few smaller activist groups.
Four hundred people across the country demonstrated with the Tav is for Transportation group, which advocates for improved public transportation and services.
"It's amazing to see the crowds, and I'm meeting people here who have never been to any of these demonstrations, it's just so amazing and exciting at every demonstration to be part of this movement," said Eliraz Shor, a 29-year-old master's student in Hebrew Literature in Jerusalem.
"The best thing about these demonstrations is that they're inclusive – everyone can bring what's important to them. For us, it's public transportation, but we are all part of the same struggle," she said.
On Saturday afternoon, Kadima leader Tzipi Livni called on her supporters to join the demonstration.
"Come protest tonight," she wrote on her Facebook wall. "I hope the masses come. I know, no matter what, that the protesters of summer 2011 brought about the change that Israel needs. The Israel that the protesters want is the country I want for my children. A technical economic change is not enough – we need a change in values and a joint vision. This is the new Zionism."
A few opposition parties held official gatherings before and during the demonstration.
Signs were distributed to Meretz members and supporters met on Saturday afternoon, calling to "bring back the welfare state."
MK Ahmed Tibi (UAL-Ta'al) joined the protests, accompanied by dozens of supporters waving his party's yellow flags.
"Social justice requires a change in priorities and closing the economic gap between the majority and the minority," Tibi said.

EMPORIA, Kan. -- The Pittsburg State softball team fell to 17-17 on the season and 5-9 in MIAA play with 6-1 and 3-2 losses to Emporia State (24-9, 11-3 MIAA) on Friday (April 5).
Pitt State scored its one run off four hits in game one, while Emporia scored six runs on eight hits and two Pitt State errors. Tiffany Brown had two of the Gorillas' four hits on the game.
The Gorillas scored their one run in the top of the first, but were not able to get a runner beyond second after that. In the top of the first, Jordan Bradshaw reached reached with a one-out walk. She advanced to second on a Kreslee Ketcham ground out. Bradshaw came home on a Tiffany Brown base hit to right.
Kyndel Shelburn started the game in the circle for PItt State. She pitched five innings, striking out seven batters and walking three. Shelburn's record now stands at 6-6 on the season. She gave up seven hits and six runs, five earned. Jessica Barnes pitched the final inning.
The Gorillas had only three hits in the game two, but were able to score two runs off those hits and two Emporia State errors. The Lady Hornets scored three runs off eight hits and one Gorilla error.
Pitt State scored first in the top of the second. Tiffany Brown led off the inning with a base hit up the middle. Sam Grove followed with a bunt single. McKenzie Rynard laid down a sacrifice bunt that was mishandled by the Lady Hornets, allowing Brown to score and advancing Grove ot third. Catie Cummins knocked a base hit up the middle to score Grove for a 2-0 PItt State lead.
Emporia State score off a lead off home run by Cacy Williams in the bottom of the second.
Pitt State was able to hang on to the lead as only two runners were allowed on base until the bottom of the seventh. Williams led off the inning with a double. She moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a Taylor Reichard squeeze bunt to tie the game. A base hit by Jessica Brewer out runners on first and second. Brewer was put out at second on a fielder's choice play that gave PItt State two outs on the inning, but put runners at first and third. A throwing error allowed Reichard to score from third and ended the game in the 3-2 Gorilla loss.
Haleigh Sills pitched the complete game for Pitt State. She struck out three batters and did not give up a walk. With the loss, her record is now 4-4.
The Gorillas return to action Saturday with a 1 p.m. matchup at Washburn.

From time to time I like to take a look at what is happening across the college football landscape. It helps us keep up with our opponents, and it helps you impress your friends. I apologize for the rather informal nature of this piece.
Clemson is having an interesting Spring. It appears that Kyle Parker will be a very high 1st round pick in the baseball draft if he continues on his torrid pace. Will he continue at this pace? If he does, will he elect to turn pro? The guys at ShakinTheSouthland.com can't tell you that, but they know pretty much everything else about Clemson. Here are some early observations from Dr. B. New WR (Bad), OLine (blah), Running backs (studly), defensive line (tremendous), linebackers (average- generously), defensive backs (very good). And here are some notes from their Spring Scrimmage.
With the recent transfer of a former Freshman All-American Offensive Tackle, Tennessee has now lost its quarterback (also lost the backup as well), its top running back (Hardesty), its young stud back Bryce Brown, top wide receiver, top tight end, ALL 5 starting offensive linemen, multi-year starter at defensive tackle, 1st round defensive tackle/ nose guard, 2 starting linebackers, and its best two defensive backs left school early for the NFL draft (Eric Berry). But they do return a fullback. Perhaps Kiffin made a great choice? More at RockyTopTalk.com
Alabama coach Nick Saban is toying with the idea of potentially trying wide receiver Julio Jones as... - Roll 'Bama Roll
Alabama is trying receivers at safety. This is probably why they are looking good for 2011 safety Hasean Clinton-Dix. Luckily for the 'Noles, FSU already has several stud prospects at the position.
Florida has had an up and down Spring practice. They lost a ton of great players. Jon Bostic has looked great at linebacker, but the defensive line has not been particularly impressive (this could be an adjustment year until their ridiculous defensive line recruiting class of 2010 gets acclimated). Brantley is still trying to find chemistry with his wideouts. He has an impressive arm but could need time. The best units are clearly the offensive line and the defensive backs. This team still has a lot of talent but has a bunch of questions for the first time in quite a while.
Miami had its Spring Game Saturday. Jacory Harris missed Spring due to a thumb injury, but my take is that Miami is going to be a pretty good team. They could have serious offensive line problems, but they should still have top 25 or better offenses and defenses. The defense could be particularly good, depending on their linebacker play. The wide receivers are ridiculous.
Boston College is actually looking pretty good. They return 4 of 5 offensive linemen including one of the best tackles in the country in Costanzo. They return a 25 year-old quarterback who will now be in his 2nd season. They have Montel Harris back at running back. The defense returns its best 2 linemen, the ACC rookie of the year in linebacker Luke Keulchy, and get back All-American 'backer Mark Herzlich (cancer). With 16 returning starters, the Eagles will be in the hunt for the Atlantic title and Clemson must travel to BC the week after they face Georgia Tech.
Deacons working on return to option Riley Skinner is gone and Wake will go back to its old option game. Wake's rushing offense has been o the decline in recent years and this could help. Our own Wake blog has a great recap of Wake's scrimmage. I really don't see Wake being very good this season. The way they developed low-rated high school talent for a few years just isn't repeatable over many years. I don't wanna say they got lucky for a few years, but... I just don't see them being competitive with FSU any time in the near future. On defense, they must replace both defensive tackles, 2 linebackers, and their best corner. They also lost 3 of their starting offensive linemen.

Just a quick heads up that Channel 4′s A place in the Sun Down Under will be visiting Sunny Perth in Western Australia this Friday (16th January at 8pm)
During the 60 minute episode, Amanda Lamb helps Dave and Joan Todd from Liverpool use their £400,000 budget to start a new life in Perth. Will the family find the home of their dreams?
With a £400,000 budget, I recon they'll find a decent house with some change to spare. What people need to remember though it's not just about the bricks and mortar, it's more about the place! Stick an identical house in the middle of the UK and it would be a very different place to live indeed!
Anyway, interesting viewing I'm sure and hopefully more entertaining then the BBC's wanted down Under program based on some recent reviews from our community!
How to take part in Channel 4′s A place in the Sun?
Easy as ringing a number apparently! Register your details on Channel 4′s dedicated line 020 7739 9357.
Edit: Apparently this number is not currently working so in the mean time if you think you might fit the bill, call Natalie on 0161 235 6542 or email email@example.com

Hi I was wondering how could apply to be on '"A place in the sun"?
Me and my wife are planning to move to Australia in the next 18 months. We also have 3 young children aged 2,3 and 5.
We currently live in Batley west yorkshire in a 3 bed semi which we are putting on the market.
I am a sales manager working for DFS furniture and my wife is a hairdresser an has her own business which she would like to carry on once in Australia.
We are both very driven and want this so much.
If you could advise us on how to apply for your show or even any tips you may be able to give us it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and hope to here from you soon.
Hi Mark, you should be an admin. for both of these programmes as it seems every one thinks you are taking details for the shows! Maybe you will get your own show yet?
I'm awaiting on emigration at the moment to emigrate to australia perth. I've been told by my agent that i'm to go out on a 176 visa as i'm a builder and i also have family over there to sponsor me. I'm going for my medicals and police checks in may 09.
My house is on the market at the moment. I'm hoping you'll choice me my wife and two children to go on your tv programe as we'd like a chance to get the help to buy a property and view the schools. I would also like to get the chance to see if the australia buildres work the same as we do in England.
Please will you help use as i feel were in limbo at the moment.
I know how much our property is worth in the Uk but i don't know how much the propertys are in Australia. I don't know how much we'll need a morgage for. My wife and i also haven't found work yet so we really need Downunders help.
I live in Perth, have done now for 7 years I came out on a permanent resident visa and now I am an Australian citizen. To give you an idea on house prices and location, as a basic rule of thumb the further you are away from the CBD (Central business district) the cheaper it is. With kids you would want a 4 bed house which can range from around 400,000 pounds plus plus in a radius of 5kms from the CBD to approx 200,000 pounds 20kms from the city. As a further idea the closer you are to the beach also the more expensive it is, so for instance you could be 20kms from the city, but if the property has an Ocean view then it could be 500,000 pounds plus
I have not seen the place in the Sun programme but they were in Mandrah which is 50 minutes drive south of Perth so not Perth at all
I am not a builder so cant help you much just to say WA has gone through an incredible boom over the past 5 years it is slowed down a lot in the last three months (like everywhere). Building in particular has been unbelievable it has been difficult to get anyone, hopefully that situation is now changing, if you are good at what you do you will have no problems there has been a lot of people jumping on the bandwagon and I myself have seen some pretty poor building work
Hope this helps good luck
Ive been offered work under the 457 visa and look to head over about Nov/Dec 2011, you've said some helpful point but these are now over 2 years old,
whats new,
Ive been offered work in CBD so am looking to rent first before i buy to get to feel an area and i've only seen things like realestate.com.au looking at buy/rent but i've looked at perthnow (newspaper) and it seems to be focusing on crime is certain areas which is a concern for every one. I'm looking for a daily focus point so i can get to know perth a little before my family head over, any advice??

Jason Reitman's Up in the Air has been deemed a too-dark marketing challenge. But the movie's strength is the way it skips past conventional genre cliches while deftly taking its characters through romantic escape and isolation--and the tough economy. Paramount Pictures is one of the few studios that can market both big and little movies. Up in the Air may be on its way to some Oscar nominations: it won four awards from the National Board of Review, including best picture of the year. It's tied with Precious for number one on the Gurus 'O Gold. Reviews are stellar: Tomatometer: 84%. Metascore: 81.
The period biopic about Leo Tolstoy's tumultuous last year, The Last Station, played like gangbusters at Sneak Previews last night. The marital drama starring Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer and James McAvoy scored a surprising five Independent Spirit nominations. Here's EW's rave. Tomatometer: 62%. Metascore: 71.
Bright Star, writer-director Jane Campion's tragic period romance about Fanny Brawne and poet John Keats (Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw) is back in LA at Laemmle's Royal for an Academy run. Subtle, precise, and gorgeously mounted, it's my favorite movie of the year. Tomatometer: 83%. Metascore: 81.
Everybody's Fine, the last gasp of Miramax Films, plays like a bad studio movie, despite an ensemble led by Robert DeNiro and Kate Beckinsale. An
original adaptation of the 1990 Giuseppe Tornatore film written and directed by Brit Kirk Jones, the family drama doesn't ring true, and star faces like Drew Barrymore don't help. Tomatometer: 45%. Metascore 40.
Fifty Dead Men Walking is a meandering IRA drama well-acted by Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) and Ben Kingsley. Tomatometer: 86%. Metacritic: 56.
While Brothers boasts crisp photography from Frederick Elmes, it is a pale knock-off of the Susanne Bier 2004 original. Here's my review. Tomatometer: 59%. Metascore: 53.
The LAT scopes out the post-holiday box office, where the Sandra Bullock hit The Blind Side is expected to be number one.
John M | December 4, 2009 9:39 AM
Interesting how FIFTY DEAD MEN WALKING has an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and 53% on Metacritic. I'm trusting the latter...
Griff | December 4, 2009 2:25 AM
"An original written and directed by Brit Kirk Jones..."
Well, hardly an "original" -- it's a direct remake of Giuseppe Tornatore's 1990 picture. I don't understand the solo use of the word "written" in the new film's credits when in this case it should clearly be "screenplay" or "written for the screen." And Tornatore, Tonino Guerra and the earlier movie's other writer should be credited on the poster and in the ads.

Giuliani flip-flops on immigration
Despite evidence of damage to the GOP from the anti-immigrant stance many of its members took in the run-up to the 2006 election the presidential candidates are taking the irrational hardline nativist stance against immigration policy.
As mayor of NYC Giuliani is reported to have been supportive of both documented and undocumented immigrants, however his views now that he is competing on a national stage rather than the very diverse NYC stage, have taken a turn to the right.
With a nod to the xenophobic nativists in the GOP with his references to respecting "culture" and an attempt to conflate the Southern US border with the vague "war" America is engaged in Giuliani has mapped out the typical GOP position.
It's a position that will doom his party in the long run but unfortunately may doom immigration reform if it cannot be passed before next year when the Presidential race will really heat up.

World of Warcraft Magazine
Posted 08 April 2010 - 03:03 PM
Nice, heavy cover and interior stock. I don't recall the folio, but there was good heft in the hand. Metallic spot color used throughout the issue. Printing appeared to be commercial quality.
I understand the decision to put the Lich King on the cover, but at this point, nothing could grab my attention less. The layout flowed okay--a bit hard to read in parts but fine for browsing. Disturbingly graceless fonts look bad enough without the spot color treatment. I suspect that the art director was strongly encouraged to retain the look-and-feel of the game.
There's nothing here for the EJ crowd. A primer about using LOS to your advantage in arenas? An interview with Morhaime? How to tank? An advertorial about the trading card game? This is Sports Illustrated for Kids.
There's content that's better written, more timely, community-based, audience specific, and free, online. This magazine does nothing to turn the tide of that trend. It's a custom branding and marketing vehicle.
But it does have nice posters you can tear out and stick on your locker, if you've given up on girls.

Our gnomes, trolls, and elves are hard at work wrapping up Issue 2, which features a behind-the scenes interview with the team that creates the quests in World of Warcraft, exclusive screenshots of the world after Cataclysm, and an exhaustive guide to Icecrown Citadel. In the meantime, here's a sneak preview of the cover for you to download as a subscriber-exclusive desktop wallpaper. Just click the link below.

It's Alexstrasza. Who actually appears to be larger than Deathwing.
Which would be consistent with the novels, where she is described as the largest of the five aspects.

It's Alexstrasza. Who actually appears to be larger than Deathwing.
Yeah, she is supposed to be bigger, but in this case I think they're about the same size but Deathwings radically shorter snout (which kinda' freaks me out), broken horns and the fact that Alexstrasza is higher up seem to alter the perspective a bit.

It's 143 pages long with 3 full-color pullouts of the mural of Deathwing and Alexstraza that was seen at Blizzard HQ; the center is front and back with pencil on one side and full color on the other. At first glance there also appears to be more original artwork than in the first.
Articles include an interview with the design team, commentary on Season 8 by players, and tactics for everything from ICC and WSG to killing all the city leaders (with maps on how to traverse the cities) and 3-manning Molten Core for kills and bindings. They've also included a section on engineering as well as one on raiding addons.
There are sections on Titan lore with respect to past present and furture interactions (including nods to the Masters Glaive in Darkshore) as well as dragon lore.
One article on Plushies and one on the new Figureprint Busts round out the advertising portion. I expected to see something about the steed in here as well but I haven't seen it yet.

I'm fairly impressed by the quality the magazine exudes. The interview with the quest team was well written. The article outlining the dragon lore was familiar (to me) but would prove very educational to the masses, I'm sure. The titans section proved similarly useful. Even the arena article piqued my interest -- and I barely arena.
If they're planning on allowing the magazine to be a lore outlet for the future, I'm not sure I won't be OK with that. The presentations are awesome, and generally it's nice to have such a polished, consolidated product to keep around to consult.
Posted 13 May 2010 - 01:09 AM
The first article was the interview with the quest design team. It was without a doubt the star article of the magazine. It helps give a sense of knowing who writes your quests, which is something many people take for granted. It was easily my favorite article.
The second best article was the "Resetting the Scene" article, which highlighted the main areas affected by cataclysm, such as Gadgetzan becoming beachfront property. It was immediately preceeded by an article reminding you to take a "last look" at certain areas of Azeroth, if you care about that sort of thing. (i.e. - Last chance to see the original Barrens, Auberdine, 1k Needles, etc.)
Sadly, this was the extent of new, "cutting edge" content in the magazine [to me]. There were in-depth articles about Dragon-Lore, Tactics for Warsong Gulch, your For The <Faction!> achievements, and 3-manning level 60 content. It really seemed like a "placeholder" magazine waiting for more cataclysm content the drop.
THAT BEING SAID, I still enjoyed almost every article in the magazine. It simply cannot be stated how well put together the issues have been. (All two of them. *grins*) The articles are written by everyone. Devs, fans, CEOs, EVERYONE. There is not a doubt whether or not I will renew in two more issues. It's a joy to read, and I STILL can recommended it to people who enjoy reading. However, I cannot recommended it to people looking for an "inside edge" on content. If you're in it just for the cataclysm peaks, or thinking you need the tips for end-game, you'd be wasting your money. The community at Elitist Jerks won't need the insights to the 5-mans, raids, and arenas. However, If you're looking for a magazine that you want to collect, one that peeks at all aspects of WoW, or just want to have it sitting on your bookshelf, stacked in order from issue #1, you're going to love it.

1. Kendall had a sprain ankle and behind from a conditioning point of view. At least his shoulder is fine though.
2. Sterling Carter seems to be a real positive to the team - 3s and Ds.
3. With Carter and Bryson expect a lot of defensive pressure.
4. Jay Simpson went from 283 lb to 247 lb (low 242). Painter said he was great in half-court. Hopefully the weight loss means he can run full court now and could rely on for heavy minutes. Hammons also down from 280 to 250. I think losing weight can really help their stamina and hopefully that translates into production.
5. Hammons doing extra rep in strength training. Another good sign. Last year, I don't think it was necessarily that Hammons and Jay were "lazy" and didn't play hard, but they just didn't have the conditioning to go hard all the time. People don't realize intense running with a 280 lbs body easily wears you down, and when you are tired and can't run, it doesn't matter if you have the world of skills.
5. Jay sounds a lot more confident. Says health close to 100% (vs. just 50% last year)
6. Painter sees no red-shirt. (Looking back, red-shirt hasn't worked for Hart, lil AJ, Hale nor Sandi (except for the late run last year but he left anyway), so one can argue that red-shirting just not working, although my gut feel says Jay will be different and be a great success barring injuries)
7. Love to hear Terone working on his jump shots and explosiveness. I think if he can improve on those two areas he can be All B1G first team.
8. Overall comment - sound like VERY COMPETITIVE and HIGH INTENSITY in this year's team. I like that. And Bryson should get a lot of credit there in bringing that. He sounds like the most promising frosh to contribute right away.
Who is that guy shooting 3s at the corner at the beginning of Painter's video? Is that Bryson? My unofficial count is that he is 3-of-9, and that's with no one guarding him and just taking all the time to launch, not a good sign :-( And is that Hammons practicing pull up jump shots? Hopefully that was just for fun as I don't wanna see those types of shots from him.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A hospital north of the Twin Cities is restricting some visitors because of a rise in flu cases at the hospital.
Visitors who have infectious symptoms won't be allowed into the maternity ward of Fairview Lakes Hospital in Wyoming, Minn. They will be allowed to visit other units if they wear a mask.
Hospital spokesman Ryan Davenport tells Minnesota Public Radio News (http://bit.ly/WJXBER) that Fairview's five other hospitals are evaluating whether they need to take similar precautions.
Davenport says signs will be posted at all of Fairview Lakes' entrances informing visitors of the new policy. He says greeting staff will ask visitors whether they're experiencing infectious symptoms.

Careless coureur cannot contain criminal compulsion.
Romain Sicard was arrested in Toulouse after police noticed a stolen street sign in a parked car, and lay in wait for the thief to return. A thorough search of the vehicle also revealed the presence of a traffic cone (orange, of course). Looking at his ID and realizing the Euskaltel-Euskadi rider was over the age of 14, police are reported to have said "What, are you drunk?" and given him a breath test which, indeed, proved he was.
No word yet on potential sentencing, but I understand the guillotine is no longer an option.

ROCKPORT — An experienced fisherman is dead after a boat he and another crewman were taking from Gloucester to Maine, reportedly to dismantle because it was no longer seaworthy, sank this weekend.
The Provincetown-based fishing vessel Terra Nova began taking on water about three miles off the coast of Rockport around 8:30 p.m. Friday. The crew said the water pumps could not handle the load and abandoned ship.
Although both David "Oakesy" Oakes and Jason Randall were pulled from the sea around 10:30 p.m. Friday, Oakes died, according to a family member who wished not be named.
Oakes, of South Thomaston, Maine, was airlifted out of the water by a helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod and taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Terrel Harris, a spokesman for the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, said the state accepted jurisdiction of the Oakes case but the cause of death has not been determined.
Harris said it is unclear if Oakes died at the hospital, on his way to the hospital or in the water.
Meanwhile, Oakes' son-in-law, Randall of Rockland, Maine, was rescued by Rockport Harbormasters Scott Story and Rosemary Lesch. He was taken to Addison Gilbert Hospital in Gloucester. He has since been released.
Waves were choppy that night, reaching 4 to 6 feet in height, Lesch said. Both men were wearing emergency immersion suits when recovered.
Oakes leaves behind a loving family. Family members uploaded a digital tribute to the fisherman on YouTube. He was the owner-operater of Dirty Girl Lobster, a food transportation business based in Warren, Maine, according to government filings.
A MGH spokeswoman said Oakes was not in a "public directory," but that did not mean he was not admitted to the hospital.
According to a prepared statement by the Coast Guard, the crew reported 6 feet of water aboard the vessel and that pumps could not keep up with the flooding.

Back to being a pay article (though I will say that for the baseball fanatic a Baseball Prospectus subscription is well worth it), the next in their series of positional rankings is here. Unsurprisingly, no Indians rank in the top 10, though Jordan Brown gets an honorable mention:
Jordan Brown, Indians: Can hit for average and draw walks, but power is below average.
Also, they note that Beau Mills, while drafted as a 3B, is splitting time between 3B & 1B while unfortunately struggling a bit with the bat (.244/.287/.372).

SOFTWARE: Guitar Pro now available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
Great to see that Arobas software have just released an official Guitar Pro application for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
As a mobile player tie-in to Arobas Music's famous tablature software package, Guitar Pro for iPhone/iPad is the ideal companion for you to read and play your scores any time, anywhere!

Main features:
- Supporting GP3/4/5 and GPX formats
- Load files from iTunes, wifi, e-mail, web
- Library included, with search, filters, and favorites
- Multi-track playback, with soundboard: volume / solo-mute / soundbank
- Metronome
- Visual countdown
- 3-level zoom

Exclusive features:

- On-the-fly global transposing by half-tones
- Tablature (with rhythmics), standard, and SLASH notations
- Send files via e-mail directly from the application
- Loop-playback of any chosen section
- Easy moving around sections
Optimized for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPad
Having had a chance to play around with it I'm very impressed with the quality of the interface as well as the sounds on offer.
One of the main attractions of Guitar Pro for me is the fact you can create and playback full band scores with reasonable instrument sounds. Handy for creating quick and dirty jam tracks for practice for example.
Also being a mac user now and never really bothering with Powertab files, it's also a nice touch that I can easily import powertabs into the app just like the desktop version.
The app is currently available for £2.99 on the App Store. I've already bought my copy and it's a very welcome addition to my multitude of guitar orientated iOs apps!

Lubbock County Sheriff David Gutierrez has seen it before, the revolving door syndrome; as one prisoner comes in, another needs to go out. The Sheriff agrees that our prison systems are in a major dilemma, which is why they're asking the legislature for $55-million that would go to 500 new beds, new probation staff, and more intensive treatment programs.
If they don't get the money, the Sheriff says we could see criminals back on our streets with little to no punishment. "We are sending the message to criminals that crime pays, there's no deterrent."
|Courts & Crime
Sheriff Gutierrez has been through it before, seeing criminals getting sent to jail just to be released far before their sentence ends. The early 90's revolving door worked like this, a prisoner sentenced for one year would serve about 28 days and then be released. A ten year sentence meant one year in jail.
One solution Sheriff and others are backing might be a pro-active probation. "When people go to prison, there is no country club in Texas, usually when you come out it's bitter not better."
Steve Henderson believes keeping people out of prison would be the best solution, but to accomplish that they need the $55-million in funding to reduce their case load from 120 cases per officer to 95.
The taxpayer might agree that probation is the way to go. Right now we pay 97-cents for each criminal a day for probation costs. Sending someone to jail costs us $44 a person a day.
To close the revolving door on crime, both Sheriff Gutierrez and Steve Henderson believe in pro-active probation, but now they're relying on the state to open the financial door.

With a seven-game losing streak hanging over the Tampa Bay Lightning, many thought the Boston Bruins would make it eight on Tuesday night before the Lightning would have a chance to see the win column in 2012, but head coach Guy Boucher took a different tack.
"They're a good team," coach Boucher told the media earlier in the day, "But we have to do the right things."
The Lightning didn't seem to follow that advice, as Bruno Gervais took the first penalty of the game in the opening minutes. The Tampa PK held strong, however, with goaltender Mathieu Garon denying Nathan Horton while his defense worked to block shots with a will.
After successfully holding the Bruins off, it was Vincent Lecavalier who opened the scoring. The Tampa captain found the loose rebound from a Matt Gilroy point shot and tucked it under a sprawling Tim Thomas to put his team ahead, which held up through the remainder of the first period despite each team spending more time on the power play.
Nathan Horton brought Boston back into the game early in the second period on a fantastic individual effort, taking a puck across the ice and grabbing his own rebound from two different attempts before finally tucking a shot under the crossbar.
Matt Gilroy set up another scoring play for the Lightning, making an excellent keep-in play at the blue line before setting up Steve Downie with a long feed through traffic. Tim Thomas made the initial save, but slid out of position far enough to give Tom Pyatt an empty net to deposit the rebound into.
Nathan Horton went five-hole on Garon to tie the game once again, leading to visions of Tampa Bay giving up a hat trick for the third consecutive game, but Ryan Malone snuck the puck through Thomas' legs at the side of the net early in the third period to keep the Lightning alive.
Tampa appeared set to extend the lead when Milan Lucic was called for interference just past the midway point of the final period, but a miscue by Martin St. Louis at the point was the perfect opening for Daniel Paille. The Boston PKer charged down Garon on the breakaway, going wide and forcing the goaltender to commit before firing the puck over his shoulder to tie the game once again.
A hooking call against Steven Stamkos on Tyler Seguin seemed to give Boston a chance to take the lead, but the penalty was offset by Seguin being sent to the box as well for diving, much to the chagrin of Boston head coach Claude Julien.
With the four on four sequence giving neither team an edge, it seemed like the Bruins were willing to take another regulation tie, but Tampa had other ideas. Dominic Moore, Steve Downie, and Ryan Malone broke out of their own zone with just under five minutes left in regulation before Moore unloaded a long shot at the top of the zone that slipped past Thomas to put Tampa Bay on top once again.
Despite chances for Boston in the final minutes, the Lightning capped the game on an empty net goal by Steven Stamkos, finally putting another game into the win column.

Seems I've not been that far off in my projections, but I'm still revising this post from about three weeks ago. I was about 75% we'd lose last nights game - and in reality, we should have. Thanks to the block and runback and inexplicable fumble by GS though, I was pleasantly surprised we won. Sometimes that's how the ball bounces and, as the saying goes, "if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, (WVU) would have a Merry Christmas". If I recall correctly, there was a game or two that we dominated all stats but still lost as well... C'est Lavi.
WVU was a signature win and Luck doesn't play too much into the bowl projections/acceptance to my knowledge, but the losses to FIU and Marshall might significantly hurt us. I think we may need to win out to be bowl eligible due to those two losses... Am I completely off base there? We can win out, or we could almost as easily lose out, but I think we finish STRONG at 8/4 and 6/1. BCS Bowl? If we go, we could lose big, but it would be a good experience and some serious motivation for our young guys once they become upper seniors. Here's to hoping Cinci loses two and we win out.
Next week, we face Pitt. We OWE THEM TOO for being a primary suspect in this whole realignment mess. Thus far, we've been able to "do work" against those who have done us harm - either directly or indirectly. I think we can continue that against Pitt, but they scare me as much as USF…
When I wrote that post, I saw the Pitt game being about 50/50. Now that we have the offense running much better and actually moving the ball, I'm about 65/35 and am going to predict about a 10 point victory with UL having 28 to Pitt's 16. Our D didn't play too well against WVU – OR WVU's O is just that much better than any we've faced to date. Honestly, it seems like yesterday's performance could have been a combination of both statements in all reality. One area that hasn't changed since that post is that we STILL need to be able to finish better from the red zone and not sputter/stall/stop. In the end, I think we should be able to generate at least 28. RU's D was the stingiest we've faced from the Big East and we put up 16 on them. We did this at a time when we were not able to move the ball as much as we have of late as our guys come into their own/learn the system/mature/grow/whatever. The RU game was also about the time that the O started to really turn the corner and come together and get the job done. We've seemingly continued to improve drastically week by week as well. On the defensive side of the ball, well I just don't see Pitt being able to put more than 20 on us and think 16 is a respectable score for them.
The following week, we face UCONN. I don't see anything much to convince me that my previous prediction of the outcome of this game needs any significant changes. I still think it will be a fairly easy win. Their offense appears to be the worst of any in the Big East to this point. Things can change though – SEE LOUISVILLE's 1st several weeks. I still don't see them scoring more than 10 on us. With us moving the ball much better and continuing to improve, I see us scoring about 35 on them. UL 35, CONN 10.
Lastly, we face USF and this is the game that honestly scares me the most of the three remaining. SURE they're last in the league currently, but with the exception of Pitt, they have played everyone else they've faced in the Big East VERY CLOSE – to include mutual opponents in Cinci and RU. We face them at their house, and they're going to have a LOT to prove and to make up some ground in the Big East/for a bowl appearance to finish about where they were projected to finish. I'm about 55/45 on this one with a final score of UL 32 USF 28.

ANDOVER — Time to check that nagging chore off the to-do list: Clean the garage/basement/shed and get rid of the old tires, unused appliances, plastic toys the kids haven't played with since the last century and all the other assorted stuff that has accumulated over the years, but which may look better in someone else's house — or ground up and reincarnated as something else.
Fortunately, the Andover Recycling Committee can help with that. It will host its 10th annual Zero Waste Day on Saturday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Brickstone Square, during which volunteers will happily haul the flotsam and jetsam of your house from your car and place it into assorted bins, crates or Dumpsters for later sale or reuse.
"It's spring cleaning made simple," the committee's flier reads. "The area's major donation/reuse and recycling event benefits both the community and the planet."
According to Keith Saxon, recycling committee chairman, next month's event, open to both residents and non-residents, has the potential of being the biggest such event ever held in Andover.
Last year, the committee held a drop-off day for recycling only and had a turnout of 480 cars. The group also co-sponsored another event with the MBTA to collect assorted items, and nearly 800 cars showed up.
This year, the event has expanded to include recyclables as well as reusables such as clothing, textiles, toys and more, Saxon said. Because the event is being held in conjunction with nearly a dozen area charities, he expects a number of people to come out just to show support for those organizations.
"With this event, we are changing the layout, so you still come in and drop, but we will have the reuse-charities on one side and recycling on other," Saxon said. "We should do at least what we did at the MBTA event."

MINOCQUA (WKOW) -- Labor Day weekend is often the last chance for families who travel to the Northwoods to get up to their cabins for the summer.
The city of Minocqua said goodbye to its summer visitors this Labor Day, continuing an annual summer tradition-- waving to drivers heading south out of town on Highway 51.
"It's just fun to say goodbye and wish them well and come back and see us again next year," says Mary Whitman, who owns a bar in Minocqua.
The "Wave Party" has been a tradition for 43 years.
Business leaders in Minocqua say it's been a successful summer season, even with some surprises in the weather.

Afghan [Karzai] Leader Finds Himself Hero No More
Pity that this situation dragged on as long as it did. I'm pleased to see that the Obama administration is addressing the problem of the opium trade in Afghanistan.
The problem the West has in Afghanistan is there are no 'good' guys to support. Karzai is seen as the best of a bad bunch and so he currently is feted by the West.
Under the Taleban there was no opium trade so why not allow them back into power providing they break all links with international Islamic extremists with the threat of tactical bombing if they misbehave. They would probably be too busy fighting their old tribal wars to be too much of an international problem anyway.
Maybe in a couple of hundred years ordinary Afghanis will be ready to embrace Western ideology but for now it seems an utterly fruitless exercise to attempt to force it upon them, if they prefer to be locked in the past so be it, let them.
It is becoming more and more difficult to discern what exactly is the mission in Afghanistan??

When a retiring worker is given a gold watch, Jessa Gamble observes, she symbolically gets back the freedom to keep her own hours.
There were no mechanical timepieces before the industrial revolution. The day's activities were dictated by the spinning Earth's circuit around the Sun and by the seasons. Because people adjusted their lives to these natural rhythms, they may have experienced less stress than their modern counterparts. They almost certainly enjoyed more sleep.
In The Siesta and the Midnight Sun, award-winning science writer Jessa Gamble explores the continuing significance of the biological clocks that governed our lives before modern technology annihilated the night. She describes experiments that show both rats and people adhere to a 24-hour schedule even when deprived of daylight. When our days are disrupted by shift work, jet lag or space travel, things go wrong. The disastrous chemical leak at Bhopal, India and the calamitous launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger both were caused partly by sleepless workers. Insomnia is rampant in the Western world.
By investigating patterns of behaviour in many societies both past and current, Gamble gives us a glimpse of different ways of scheduling time. In this superbly insightful and entertaining book she examines the crises and creative adaptations that occur on the embattled border where biology, culture and technology clash.
Click here to watch Jesse Bering and Jessa Gamble discuss their love-hate relationship with sleep.
Jessa Gamble is an award-winning science journalist from Oxford, who lives in the Canadian Subarctic. A dynamic new voice in popular science, Gamble was awarded a 2007 Science in Society journalism award from the Canadian Science Writers Association for her first-person account of daily life at the Eureka High Arctic Weather Station.

Bradford hospitals try to attract more nurses
Hospital bosses in Bradford are holding a Nurse Recruitment Open Day in a bid to attract people to work at the city's hospitals.
The Trust which runs the hospitals has been told to improve staffing levels by March 7, after inspectors from the Care Quality Commission made surprise visits to the Bradford Royal Infirmary in September and October.
The regulator said there were not enough qualified or experienced staff which impacted on patients.
There are 50 vacancies available across a number of elderly, medical and surgical specialties.

Still Working On Comics...
After a bit of a late summer slump, me and my collaborators and I are still working on making comics. I didn't want you to think we'd given up at all. On the contrary, I've got new pages coming in again, and I'll be making another push towards publishers soon.
You'll notice over to the right side of my website, I've added a comic book writing section with all the stuff I've worked on and can post on the site. There is actually a good deal more work than that that we're trying to get published, so it won't be going up quite yet, but it's a few examples I like, and a lot of "Learning Process" going on there.
Finally, I thought I'd show you a penciled page from Boston by Kalle Malloy, with whom I worked on Logue's Patrol. Submitted without comment, lettering, or context of any kind.
Also, it should be noted and celebrated that it was one year ago that Kalle and I started working together on comics. He's definitely become a friend, and he's a great guy to work with. In that year, I've also met several other people in the process who have also become friends of mine. That's the great hidden secret of making comics. You aren't just making the comics.

Wenger 'sorry and disappointed' after losing game
Arsene Wenger has said he is "ready to buy players" after the Arsenal boss received criticism for losing this weekend's match against Aston Villa and was accused of being unwilling to spend on new players.
Mr Wenger issued this letter in response to fans:
We were all very disappointed. We want our fans to be happy. When you don't achieve that, you feel absolutely sorry and really disappointed.
In terms of transfers, we were on the market before the game and we are on the market after the game. But I have to look at the solution at the start of the game. Could we have won the game with the players we have? I say yes.
We take our work seriously and believe me, we analyse every single player in the world. We work 24 hours a day for that. When we make decisions, we take it seriously. People try to think we do not want to spend. We want to. We are ready to buy players.

Make it Rain Review
Posted on May 19th, 2014 by TimeDoctor
Make it Rain is difficult to categorize. It's a game for iOS, and it stretches the definition of a game. Though it isn't the first to do so.
Progress Quest was the first in this genre. It was simpler, though. Think of starting solitaire and watching it play itself except with high scores on an internet leaderboard more accurately measured in minutes hours and days the program has been running than in a score.
Cookie Clicker perfected it last year by adding upgrades and removing the leaderboards to redefine the goal. Not that there is a victory condition or any well-defined end game but you're nolonger competing against other people who have just been running the game longer. Now you're just having fun and experiencing the ridiculousness of the game as it changes over time through the upgrades you choose and your score or cookie count increases.
In Make it Rain they've simplified the game but I think they've lost something in doing so.
The upgrades names and icons in Make it Rain are funny and the game does have some of the same fun in upgrading your production. In this case it is a fountain of dollars instead of cookies. Much like Cookie Clicker theres fun to be had in trying to pick the optimal path through the upgrade tree. There's even a great new mechanic in that you can metaphorically "make it rain" by swiping increasingly large bills from your virtual money clip.
But a lot of the charm is gone in the unavoidable comparison to Cookie Clicker. It seems like a slide back towards the gameplay of Progress Quest. When I was playing Make it Rain I kept hoping for some point where a meta game or a new addition to the gameplay.
The breaking point for me turned out to be when, after setting my iPhone to remain unlocked on the floor all night, I woke up to a piece of the new gameplay smacking me across the face. The FBI investigation is cute, but when the wheel of justice spins and lands on a penalty a few too many times you may be ready to toss your phone out the window.
The penalties are just too harsh and put your production into a hole it won't be fun to dig out of.
It is a free-to-play game, and that almost makes the experience worse. It seems like the gameplay is designed to put you into a situation hat you can't get out of without spending real money.
Maybe the developers will patch Make it Rain to be a little bit more player friendly, or at least weight that FBI investigation wheel towards fun, but right now I wouldn't recommend the experience.

Send in the CloneZ
Posted on February 17th, 2014 by gusmoney
Is anyone else getting tired of the DayZ: Stand Alone copy-cat games that are appearing? It feels like every time I launch Steam I am berated with advertising for games that look a heck of a lot like the aforementioned. In particular, today we have Dead State and 7 Days to Die (in addition to DayZ) as some of the thirteen Featured Selections (Rust gets a pass but don't look past other similar titles such as The Dead Linger, Nether, How to Survive, Project Zomboid, Castleminer Z, et al.)
If imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery the DayZ team should be pretty darn flattered. Now I do not pretend to know the development time frame for these other games (perhaps some have been around for some time), however, the fact that they are being marketed here and now in a manner similar to DayZ smacks of Johnny-come-lately cash-in. The most famous case of this was in 2012 with The War Z (now titled Infestation: Survivor Stories,) a blatant ripoff of the then ARMA II Mod DayZ.
In some regard this cloning degrades a game that has not even been fully released yet. The competitors piggy-backing on not-fully-developed features and ideas takes away from the execution of DayZ and its potentiality. Why would a DayZ developer want to continue down a path already tread by an imitator? Or, for that matter, continue with an as yet unreleased idea that has been executed by a competitor, for fear that they (DayZ) would look like the clone? When every game coming down the pike is labeled with terms like crafting, survival, and scavenge we are not left with much but mimicry. Not to mention that these games are also all Early Release, as if this adds cachet.
DayZ does not have exclusive ownership on these terms but it has set the watermark through its beginnings as a Mod and now Alpha Stand Alone status and its future as a true example of ingenuity maybe stifled by lackluster competitors. As a dollar and cents example, the idea that one does not have the $29.99 for DayZ but does have the $19.99 for SurvivorX will erode the better product in terms of sales and user base in the long run is an all too true reality.
One of the great things about DayZ's development is how open it has been in terms of garnering community feedback and showing use of features in development. I have not seen too many other games take this route and I am afraid that this refreshing transparency will be discouraged if other developers come in and loot their ideas. We are returned then to a development model of closed door secrecy and P.R. schemes of leaked screenshots to build momentum for games that are often poorly built and not out of the beta stage when they reach the consumer at $59.99.
I write as a fan of DayZ that thinks the better game is being besmirched by a lot of idea-stealing competition and that large game distribution channels such as Valve/Steam need to be mindful of promoting first class products and letting those other games first find their audience (in much the same way DayZ did) in ways that do not detract from the established brand. Let innovation, originality, and good game play win out.

One thing you can do to really help dogs in shelters is to step up and join the fight against puppy mills. Here are seven ways you can help:
1. Don't purchase pets at pet stores or online. One way to cut back on the need for puppy mill puppies is to diminish the demand for them. Because an estimated 99 percent of pet store pets and pets sold online come from puppy mills, not purchasing pets from those locations will cut back on the need for puppy mill puppies.
2. Adopt a dog. When the time comes to add a new dog to the family, check out your local shelters and rescues. Looking for a specific breed of dog? Along with a variety of mixed breeds, there are many pure breeds looking for homes too—in fact, an estimated 25 percent of dogs in shelters are pure breeds. There are also breed specific rescues that focus on a particular breed of dog.
3. Don't shop at stores that sell puppies. If you purchase anything at stores that sell puppies and kittens, you are supporting puppy mills. Look for pet stores that are operating with a humane model that either adopt out pets or work with local shelters and rescues to host adoption events.
4. Be their voice. Connect with local, state, and federal officials and encourage them to sponsor and support new laws that more tightly regulate puppy mills. Also call and write letters supporting laws that prohibit the sale of pets from commercial mass breeding operations and that provide more consumer protections.
5. Host educational activities. Invite organizations that educate about puppy mills to speak at local schools and other events or set up educational booths. The Puppy Mill Project has a variety of age-specific presentations for schools, shelters, and other organizations.
6. Speak out. Find out when local animal advocacy organizations will be marching or protesting at local pet stores and join them. If no protests are planned in your area, learn about local laws for staging peaceful protests and organize in your area.
7. Support local efforts to educate about puppy mills. Participate in fundraising for local groups that educate about puppy mills, such as the Second Annual Miles for the Mothers in the Mills on Sunday, October 20. is a fun family- and dog-friendly afternoon that includes a leisurely walk around the park, pet training demonstrations, pet trick and costume contests and so much more. The event will be at Larry Fink Memorial Park in Highland Park, with registration starting at 10:00am and the walk at 11:00am. Advance tickets are $30 per adult (including two dogs) and children under 12 are free. Funds raised from this event will help support the work of The Puppy Mill Project and their programs that help educate about puppy mills and their connection to pet stores. Register online.

Puppy Mills: Get the Facts and Do Your Part
Puppy Mill Problem in Chicago?
Tagged Puppy Mills, the puppy mill project
All great advice! Come out to a "march" that the Puppy Mill Project is doing this Sunday, 10/20, in Highland Park!
Or, join our protest on Saturday, 10/19
We got our dog at a shelter in New Jersey. She was a lab mixed. We got her when she was about a year old. But she was born and fostered in Puerto Rico and then she came to St. Hubert's in Madison NJ. Make sure to go to place like that. There are purebred and mix breeds in these shelters that need homes. Never go to a pet store that sells puppies because you don't where they came from.
Deanna- You appear to be a responsible breeder, and I commend you for that. As a life-long purebred Dachshund owner, I admit I am hooked on the breed. When I make the decision to add to our family with another Doxie, I have always checked local shelters first. Then our trusted Vet with referrals. 2 years ago, these avenues did not have Doxies available, so I admit I went online and searched exhaustingly. When I finally located what appeared to be a reputable breeder in Illinois, I then called the Breeder Referral line and had them confirm that this is a reputable breeder. We then contacted breeder and were invited down to see the dogs at their kennel site which was located on the acreage next to breeders house. Facility was exceptional with all dogs free to run in very large fenced area, clean AC/Heated shelter, beds supported off the floor. Met the husband/wife team, met the mother & father dogs. Very impressed and went home with 2 Dachshunds. I say all this because there ARE good breeders out there, there are many people like me who WANT a purebred bloodline. This is my 2nd experience with 2 different very good breeders. They both even screened & interviewed ME! And I witnessed them refusing to sell to another customer. I also want to add that my Doxies are family. We do not breed, in fact they are spayed/neutered. We love them as our children, we just love this breed of dog.
So…KATIE…stop being so harsh.
I think your article is very misleading. As a hobby breeder I have many people find me online and purchase their pup by seeing the pictures first and then coming to get the dog when it's older. I take great pride in how my puppies are raised and for you to say that almost 100%of dogs purchased online are from puppy mills is false information.
Very sad…
Deanna, this article is referring to the BYBs and millers who complete the entire transaction online, without actually screening the buyers.
Locating your website, like by being listed on the Breeder Referral for your national/local breed club, and contacting you through your website is completely different
The former way is FAR more common than the latter, as I'm sure you know.
The point isn't how "well" your dogs are bred/raised, it's that MILLIONS of animals are killed each year that are unwanted, and you are continually adding to the problem. Everyone who buys one of your "hobby" bred dogs means another dog dies in an animal control facility or kill shelter. Congratulations on your terrific "hobby"
Takes one to know one.
I have always adopted,and have always had the very best dogs! They are free, and needy, and the world is full of suffering, unwanted pets.If we all were to adopt this attitude there wont be cruel puppy farms. Don't forget to spay and neuter!!
I cannot believe you would have the audacity to even join in this conversation. You should be VERY ASHAMED of the cruelty that you perpetuate!

New Blackburn stadium could host major events
2:00pm Tuesday 27th May 2014 in News
THE new £2.3m community athletics stadium at Witton Park could host more high-profile sports events, it has emerged.
Blackburn Harriers bosses hope the revamped track will be chosen for major competitions in the future.
The news comes as the final stage of the upgrade moved a step closer with plans for new state-of-the-art floodlighting recommended for approval by councillors on Thursday.
Blackburn with Darwen Council planning committee will consider the application to take down the existing seven 25-metre columns and replace them with three 25 metre and two 20 metre floodlights and standalone lamps on the roof of the new stadium building.
They will use the latest LED technology and will be 'flexible as they illuminate sections of the track if required and can be dimmed to any lighting level'.
Officials have recommended approval despite an objection from nearby resident Kevin Smith, of Preston Old Road.
The arena — which includes an indoor 60m warm-up and training track with six lanes, new changing facilities, covered outdoor spectator terracing and a club room — opened last month.
The stadium opened two years after the London 2012 Olympics, where the club's athletes enjoyed success.
Samantha Murray from Clitheroe secured a silver medal for modern pentathlon, Burnley's Sophie Hitchon broke the British record to qualify for the hammer final, and Chorley's Holly Bleasdale came sixth in the pole vault.
Harriers secretary George Davies yesterday revealed the club's hopes for the future.
Decisions on holding major events are taken by the various national athletics bodies.
Mr Davies said: "With the opening of our new state-of-the-art stadium, we hope that it may be chosen for more and higher profile athletics events."
It the past year Witton Park has hosted several major cross-country events, including the English championships, while the stadium was being rebuilt.
In previous years the old track has hosted Northern League and schools competitions, though the Lancashire athletics champion- ships are normally held in Blackpool.

It is a shame BwDBC has sneaked massive price increases in for using this facility without any consultation or prior warning. The way this Council deals with its citizens is truly scandalous. Price rises are inevitable but increasing prices 4 fold is a scandal. Seems the London 2012 legacy hasn't reached this far north yet.
