TV and radio appearances by Nation writers and editors, big Nation announcements.
Is lobbying going underground? Despite its official decline on paper, Nation Institute reporting fellow Lee Fang argues that the influence industry "is growing very quickly." In an interview with Democracy Now! hosts Amy Goodman and Juan González, Fang spoke about his latest Nation feature "The Shadow Lobbying Complex," drawing attention to an Obama executive order banning registered lobbyists. In effect, the order has catalyzed an underground, unregistered lobby industry. Fang also talked about Palantir, a Silicone Valley–based company backed by the CIA and venture capitalists, and the recent uptick in lobby money spent on the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Bangladesh.

The last three days have been the bloodiest in Ukraine's twenty-two-year post-Soviet history. In an interview with Democracy Now!, Nation contributing editor Stephen Cohen railed against the tepid response of Western leaders to this eruption of violence. Warning that the chaos in Ukraine could spark a civil war—or even "a new Cold War divide"—he chastised the United States and Germany for placing responsibility for solving this political crisis squarely in the hands of the Ukranian government. According to Cohen, President Obama and Chancellor Merkel's implicit support for the anti-government protesters helps to "rationalize what the killers in the streets are doing. It gives them Western license."
—Allegra Kirkland
Editor's note: The interview with Cohen starts at 11:40.
Has the American media mischaracterized the ongoing protests in Ukraine? Nation contributing editor and Russian historian Stephen Cohen thinks so. In an interview on the John Batchelor Show this Tuesday, Cohen criticized American journalists for downplaying the radical ultra-nationalist character of some protesters. "They're a small minority," Cohen said, "but they're organized. They've got funds. They're armed. And therefore they're exceedingly dangerous when the moderate leadership has collapsed." Cohen also appeared on The O'Reilly Factor, where he questioned whether American national security is best served by the media's unanimous "Putin-bashing."

Incessant partisan handwringing over the impact of Obamacare on the midterm elections discounts a key reality: the Affordable Care Act is working. As Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel pointed out on ABC's This Week With George Stephanopolous, premiums are down, companies can no longer deny pre-existing coverage, and over 1.1 million are now enrolled, including growing numbers of young people. In a conversation with Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, Fusion's Alicia Menendez and ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl, vanden Heuvel insisted, "The broad mass of Americans are not interested in repeal. Mend it, don't end it. Fix it. Embrace it."
—Allegra Kirkland
The senseless murders of Florida teenagers Jordan Davis and Trayvon Martin speak to the daily realities of being black in America. Appearing on Melissa Harris-Perry alongside professors William Jelani Cobb and Pedro Noguera, Nation writer Mychal Denzel Smith discussed the burden of violence that young black men face. "I walk around in this young, black male body and I understand that it causes fear, it causes a reaction, it causes police to look at me more carefully. It could kill me."
—Dustin Christensen
Following a fierce battle between conservative groups and labor activists, workers at a Chattanooga, Tennessee, Volkswagen plant cast their final votes today on whether to allow union representation at their factory. If they vote to unionize, the Chattanooga location will become the first foreign-owned factory organized by the United Auto Workers. Nation Washington, DC, correspondent John Nichols appeared on MSNBC's All In With Chris Hayes to discuss the implications of the workers' decision. The prospect of unionization and the "works committees" being planned for the plant have anti-labor politicians worried the idea could spread—so worried they've threatened to withhold tax incentives should the plant unionize. Nichols thinks their fear is justified: "There are a lot of folks saying [works committees] might actually sell in the south."
—Simon Davis-Cohen
In the wake of All-American football player Michael Sam's coming out, the initial question among sports analysts was whether an NFL locker room was ready for a gay player. However, Nation sports editor Dave Zirin claims that it is not players but executives who are unready. Speaking alongside former NFL player and openly gay activist Wade Davis on MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, Zirin accused NFL executives of antediluvian cowardice in their reactions to Sam's revelation. "They sound like scared children when they talk about the prospect of drafting a player of the character of Michael Sam," claimed Zirin.
—Dustin Christensen
If American children had to work multiple jobs in order to pursue their dreams, it would stir up a whirlwind of controversy. Yet this is a common experience for many amateur American athletes hoping to compete in the Olympic Games, and it receives almost no media attention. Appearing on CSPAN's Washington Journal, former US Olympic luge competitor and Nation contributor Samantha Retrosi railed against the "privatized sporting hierarchy" that exploits young athletes. "Athletes essentially are property of corporate sponsorship," Retrosi told host Peter Slen.
—Dustin Christensen
The Sochi Olympics are a prime example of celebration capitalism: an exorbitant, nationalism-boosting affair that allows participant countries to distract from economic inequality and civil rights abuses at home. In this panel at the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, Nation sports editor Dave Zirin joins 2006 Olympic luge competitor Samantha Retrosi and Jules Boykoff, a politics professor at the Pacific University of Oregon, to discuss the profound political implications of the Olympic Games. Citing severe environmental degredation, harsh crackdowns against activists, and the installment of a sweeping surveillance system, Zirin refers to this year's event as an "unreal clusterfuck of injustice."
—Allegra Kirkland
Editorial note: Dave Zirin's comments start at 12:22.
In the buildup to what are being described as the most corrupt Olympics in history, a broad spectrum of activists has raised issues with Sochi 2014. The list of concerns includes environmental degradation, rampant corruption, labor abuses, indigenous rights and animal mistreatment. Only two days before the opening ceremony, Nation contributor Samantha Retrosi and sports editor Dave Zirin appeared on Democracy Now! to discuss these pressing issues. Echoing sentiments shared in her recent article for The Nation, Retrosi commented on the "cruelty and exploitation" embedded within the Olympics, while Zirin claimed that "what's happening in Russia is particularly bad, even by Olympic standards."

In part 2 of a series on city cab drivers, Randy LoBasso considers the impact of smartphone-summoned car rides.
Several cities around the nation have been working to create new regulations to accommodate next-gen car services like Uber—and, in the case of Pittsburgh, a company called Lyft whose business model is not unlike what Sidecar was doing.
There may also be a third way.
Ronald Blount, of the Taxi Drivers Alliance, thinks he has something even newer, even better, to introduce into Philly's professional driving universe. After years of conferring with cab drivers, and after countless fact-finding trips to key taxi locations like the airport and 30th Street Station, Blount thinks he's figured out a way for Philly to change the system forever—while still playing by everyone's rules. And if investors from all over the U.S., veteran drivers and organizing groups' efforts and business plans are any indication, he may just be on to something.
For the third installment in PW's look at the state of the Philadelphia taxi business, pick up the March 19 issue, or follow us online at philadelphiaweekly.com and @phillyweekly on Twitter.
"This is the best article on the taxi industry in Philly so far. Blount has said it best, describing the frustration by career drivers whom care about serving people that the revenue is a one way street bypassing the drivers and the nonsense that goes on starts with the owners. In Toronto, a few are unhappy that their medallions are being replaced with a true independent contractor driver, and the only costs being that the cab must be disabled suitable, which is a win for any customer to actually get in a large cab and feel comfortable, and a win for drivers to feel comfortable and alleviate back and leg problems! Taxi customers, voice your opinion on supporting ways to award the good drivers!"

Paper Measures: 20" X 16". Image Measures 16" X 12". Published By Washington Green. Includes Certificate Of Authenticity. Comes Unframed. Mint Condition. Barbara James Was Born In The United Kingdom In The 1960S. Although Her Very Earliest Memories Recall Her Love Of The Bright Colours Of Poster Paint And Her Anticipation Of What She Could Achieve With Them, As A Young Child She Found Art Extremely Difficult And Did Not Really Consider A Career In The Arts World Until She Became Involved In Set And Costume Design Whilst Completing Her Degree In Music, Dance And Drama. Her Tutor Picked Up On A Small Series Of Sketches Which She Had Prepared For The Costumes For A Production Of Hamlet And His Enthusiasm Gave Barbara James The Courage To Begin To Experiment With Colours, Textiles And Artistic Ideas. On Leaving University, Barbara James Made Her Career In The Media, Particularly In Television, Where She Has Made Programs For Most Of Her Professional Life. However, Looking For An Extra Dimension, She Decided To Return To Oil Painting At The End Of The 1990S And, Within Six Months, She Had Become A Finalist In A National Competition Run By Artist & Illustrators Magazine. Illness Then Required Her To Take Some Time Off Work, Which Allowed Her To Concentrate More Fully On Her Love Of Painting, And She Began To Sell And Exhibit Her Originals Through Local Galleries. W H Smith Picked Up One Of Her Paintings For A British Artists Card Range And Sold Over 20,000 Copies Of The Card In The First Year. Now An Extremely Successful Professional Artist, Barbara James Declares That Her Artist Life Has Been "Quite A Journey Since Infant School But I Am Finally Beginning To Get The Pictures Out Of My Head And Onto The Canvas"

Another monopoly is not the answer
Do not forsake the glorious Reds, and the forgiving family that worships you, by defecting to Inter Milan just because of some little local difficulties, begs a desperate fan
Tuesday 28 March 1995
For the government to allow the formation of the mother of all brewers is, surely, out of the question, even if one accepts the argument that concentration is needed in an industry which is awash with over-capacity at a time of falling demand. Change there almost certainly will have to be. But the form of Courage's dismemberment will be complex and may well involve several other parties.
The financial arrangements S & N will have to put in place seem almost peripheral set against the other issues involved. These include the unravelling of Courage's half share in Inntrepreneur, the 4,350 strong pub chain owned with Grand Metropolitan, and numerous beer production agreements with the likes of Anheuser Busch, Holsten and even Foster's itself. Inntrepreneur, which is tied to Courage for the next three years, is unquestionably the most contentious issue. The pub company is at the centre of the Office of Fair Trading's recently launched investigation into beer supply prices
This is a deal which is clearly going to be of enormous benefit to S&N, and, if it succeeds in reducing capacity, to the industry as a whole. Finding a way to complete it that will also meet regulatory concerns is another matter.

Oh Where, Oh Where Did My Facebook Go?
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 1 2014 11:34AM
Some Facebook users Friday morning were rudely surprised to find that their electronic connection to the world was broken.
Some who tried to log on were faced with a message from Facebook that said, "Sorry, something went wrong."
That's it. No further explanation. Just "something went wrong." And some people went a little gaga. When one social media outlet isn't there, you need to go to another to complain about it. Which is making #facebookdown the top trending item in the Twitterverse right now.
Still no word from Facebook on what happened, or how many people were affected, or how long the disruption lasted. It does seem that things are back to normal, so everyone can get back to the business of sharing Grumpy Cat memes and commenting on the latest escapades of
The Real Housewives of Wherever

Man charged for numerous Columbia robberies, thefts
Updated On: Oct 02 2013 06:26:10 PM CDT
Columbia police arrested a man they say is responsible for eight robberies and thefts in recent weeks.
Tuesday night, officers arrested 29-year-old Jermell Lamar Burnett for numerous robberies and thefts that happened in central part of the city from July through September.
Police say he is responsible for the following crimes (in chronological order):
- On July 27, police say Burnett stole approximately 10 car batteries from Battery Outfitters and sold them back to the store for scrap.
- On Aug. 6, officers say he stole approximately five car batteries from Battery Outfitters and tried to sell them back to the business.
- On Aug. 15, Burnett allegedly stole ten car batteries from several cars at 63 Auto Sales.
- On Aug. 21, he allegedly stole a cash drawer from the fruit stand at Range Line Street and Lakeview.
- On Aug. 26, Burnett stole several tools from a business on Range Line street, according to police.
- On Sept. 16, police say he stole a cash drawer from a fruit stand in the parking lot of 915 Business Loop 70 East.
On Sept. 12, police say Burnett robbed Earthgrains on Vandiver Drive. During the robbery, Burnett had a sock over his hand and demanded the employee open the cash register.
When the employee did not respond, he stole a can of soda and fled from the scene on a bicycle.
Columbia police say on Sept. 17, Burnett stole the cash register from the Passions adult store on the Business Loop. Officers say he had a sock over his hand during the robbery.
Victims that Burnett stole from said he didn't try covering up at all, he was just crafty in getting the money. Because of him, some business owner changed some security measures.
"We kind of fixed things up to where it would be a lot harder for him to get, my brother came over and put the fence up and he did some other things, he fixed the tables a little bit different to where it would be a little harder to get to," Hallie Dean Jenkins said.
Officers said there was plenty of evidence and witnesses to point him out.
"Mr. Burnett was a frequent customer of some of the places, so he was known to them and the problem that existed was that he was homeless so we had a hard time locating him," Columbia police officer Latisha Stroer said.
But for victims like Jenkins, he said having his money stolen by Burnett twice has changed him. He now keeps mental notes of everyone that walks by his fruit stand. He doesn't want to see Burnett for quite a few years.
"I'm hoping nothing like this happens again and I'm glad he got caught," Jenkins said. "He's going to spend a little time (in prison)."
Burnett has been charged with two counts of first-degree robbery. There were no other charges filed Wednesday for him stealing items at other businesses.

A modified anticancer drug can simultaneously target tumour sites and show whether or not it is working.
A modified platinum-based prodrug targets cancer cells and triggers cell death, or apoptosis, causing apoptosis sensors to fluoresce green.
© Ugreen/iStock/Thinkstock
Cancer drugs can be modified to specifically target tumour sites to help personalize cancer treatment. And while it is relatively easy to determine if the drugs have been delivered to the correct location, it is more difficult to monitor their therapeutic success.
Now, a team led by Bin Liu from the A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering in Singapore, in collaboration with Ben Zhong Tang at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, has developed an anticancer drug with an inbuilt mechanism that shows if it is working[1].
Platinum-based drugs are effective against many cancers, killing cells by triggering cellular suicide, or apoptosis. These drugs can, however, have severe side effects. Nontoxic forms can be modified, as a type of prodrug, to convert to their toxic form only after entering the targeted tumour cells, so as not to harm noncancerous cells.
Liu and colleagues went one step further by modifying a platinum-based prodrug to not only target tumor cells effectively, but also show whether or not it was having the desired effect. According to Liu, this added feature could be crucial for improving cancer treatment.
"Early evaluation of a patient's response to a specific cancer therapy is important in clinical applications because it can minimize the duration of ineffective courses," explains Liu. "The effectiveness of cancer treatment is commonly evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging to measure the tumor size, but this is unsatisfactory as the change in size is not obvious at the early stages of therapy."
In their new system, Liu and her team included an apoptosis sensor that is released when the prodrug converts to its toxic form inside the targeted tumor cells. The toxic form triggers cell apoptosis and activates an enzyme called caspase 3, which then cleaves the apoptosis sensor and causes it to fluoresce green. This provides a visual signal that the drug is killing the cells.
Liu and her colleagues tested the mechanism by treating cultured cancer cells with the modified platinum prodrug. They observed a gradual increase in fluorescence in the cancer cells, reaching a maximum level of fluorescence six hours after treatment. Noncancerous cells were not affected in the same way, further proving the effectiveness of their targeting mechanism.
Such noninvasive and real-time imaging of drug-induced apoptosis could be used to evaluate the therapeutic response to a specific anticancer drug at an early stage, explains Liu. "Our system can simultaneously deliver the therapeutic drugs and noninvasively evaluate the therapeutic responses in situ."

New York newspaper sacks Washington nickname
One of the nation's largest newspapers says it will no longer use the name Redskins when writing about Washington's NFL team.
One of the nation's largest newspapers says it will no longer use the name Redskins when writing about Washington's NFL team.
The Daily News of New York said Thursday in a lead editorial titled "Sack the Name" that the reference will no longer be part of stories and columns. The name, however, may appear in quotations, reader letters and discussion of the dispute. Also, the logo of a feathered Native American will be dropped, replaced by an image that features team colors.
The editorial notes that language changes through the years, and "the time has come to leave the word behind."
Other media outlets have also dropped the name. Last month, CBS analyst Phil Simms, who will handle Washington's Week 4 game, said he likely won't use the nickname.

Australia lights up 2013
Updated On: Dec 31 2012 01:56:04 PM EST
A $6.9 million firework show kicked off one of the globe's first New Year's celebrations.
Organizers estimate 1.5 million people gathered around the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge to see the show for themselves. While millions more gathered around their televisions to catch the pyrotechnic masterpiece.
Australian pop star Kylie Minogue had a key role in many of the decisions that were made for that night, including the theme, Embrace for the Celebrations.
Minogue celebrated her 25 years in the music industry by selecting the sound track for the evening's event and had the honor of igniting the entire show with the press of a button.
The show featured 100,000 pyrotechnic works of art this year alone.
Footage of this electrifying midnight show was captured by Best Clips Daily via Sky News. The Best Clips Daily YouTube page says they will be featuring more 2013 New Year's Celebrations around the world.

In early July, James Baker, the former US secretary of state, visited Tbilisi and secured the tentative support of all major political forces in Georgia for a plan designed to reduce the chances of electoral fraud in the November parliamentary election. [For background see the Eurasia Insight archive].
In a separate statement, the State Department says that because of Basayev's links to the al Qaeda terrorist network, the United States, Britain, and Russia had asked the UN to impose travel restrictions on him in all UN member states and to block shipments of arms and financial aid to his rebels by UN members.
While the self-declared autonomous republic of Abkhazia maintains a paltry economy and has never won recognition from Georgia, some people in its capital are ready to celebrate. September 30 marks the tenth anniversary of Abkhazia's break from Georgia.
Russian authorities on August 5 announced the detention of three suspects for possible links to the suicide car bombing that killed 50 people at a Russian military hospital last week in Mozdok, North Ossetia.
Russian policy makers are solidly backing Azerbaijan's political transition process, viewing the impending transfer of power from President Heidar Aliyev to his son Ilham as offering the best chances of maintaining political stability in the resource-rich nation. Moscow also feels an intra-family succession could help avert competition in the Caucasus between Russia and the United States.
As head of the Ministry of Education's Department of Public Education and Pre-Schools for Cities, Arif Muradov is the man in charge of implementing the new policy throughout the country, although it mainly concerns Baku. In an interview with EurasiaNet, Muradov emphasized that the new policy pertained to "all refugee children currently residing in the territory of Azerbaijan."
Azerbaijan's recent decision to allow refugees to attend public schools marks a subtle change in a domestic policy with significant regional political ramifications. The decision came after UNHCR's office in Baku convinced Azerbaijani officials that the new policy was in the country's best interest.
The renovation of a Russian air base in Kyrgyzstan is nearing completion. As Kyrgyz and Russian officials work out the last details concerning deployment of fighter jets, both sides are downplaying the possibility of Kyrgyzstan becoming a focal point in a US-Russian struggle for influence in Central Asia.
At one point the number of Molokans reached an estimated 500,000. During the 19th Century, Tsarist officials instituted policies designed to force Molokans from Central Russia to the periphery of the empire. Accordingly, Molokan communities developed in Caucasus and Central Asia.
Turkish and Russian energy officials have failed to resolve a pricing dispute concerning the Blue Stream pipeline. Turkish sources indicate the two sides remain far apart. The deadlock could cause a shake-up at Gazprom, the Russian concern responsible for exporting gas via Blue Stream, according to media reports in Moscow.

Wales not guaranteed 'home' games in 2015

International Rugby Board (IRB) chairman Bernard Lapasset insists that nothing has been decided yet in terms of stadia for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England.
The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) have publicly expressed their hopes of being able to stage some of their games in the event on home soil.
However, when asked if the IRB would accede to the the WRU's wish, Lapasset, speaking the day after the conclusion of the 2011 tournament in New Zealand, said: "No guarantee. We have two objectives. The first is maximizing revenues to be successful, and the second objective is to run a quality tournament for everyone like we have done in New Zealand.
"We opened 12 venues [in New Zealand] to make it possible for as many fans to participate. It will be the same in England, but which cities in England we have not decided."
Scheduling, meanwhile, was a major source of controversy in New Zealand, with a number of Tier Two sides expressing their disappointment at sometimes only being afforded four-day turnarounds ahead of clashes with Tier One nations. Lapasset revealed that this issue will be addressed ahead of the 2015 World Cup.
"We have to be fair for all unions, fair for all teams engaged in the tournament, so it's the same tournament for everyone," he said.
"We have seen in this tournament the Tier Two teams can compete in the first week at a high level, there's no big difference in the scores between Tier One and Tier Two, but after this it is different. We need to manage this process to be sure of a fair tournament for every team, and the quality of the games are the same in the whole tournament."

Wayne Snowden to stand trial in accidental shooting of boy on bicycle near Pottstown
Updated On: May 22 2014 03:02:33 PM CDT
A man who accidentally shot a young neighbor boy on a bicycle has been ordered to stand trial.
Wayne Snowden waived his right to a preliminary hearing that was scheduled for Thursday on assault charges. He's due back in court for a formal arraignment June 5.
Snowden, police said, was armed with a 9mm Glock handgun on the front porch of his home in North Coventry Township, Chester County, on May 8 when the gun went off, accidentally shooting the 8-year-old boy, A.J. Hagner, in the leg.
"This was a case of irresponsible gun handling in its most tragic form," said Chief Robert Schurr, North Coventry Township Police Department, said at the time.
Hagner was flown to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for treatment and released the next day. The bullet narrowly missed a crucial artery in the boy's thigh, officials said.
On Tuesday, Schurr and Jason Owens, the owner of Patriot GMC in Boyertown, Berks County, presented Hagner with a new bicycle.

TAMPA, Fla., April 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Halo, Purely for Pets has teamed up with the Olate Dogs, arguably the world's most famous rescue dogs, to change perceptions and combat stereotypes about shelter pets.
Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140425/78388
In 2012 the Olate Dogs shot to stardom when they won the America's Got Talent grand prize. These sweet, funny, talented dogs and their entertaining owners/handlers captured hearts across America. Audiences are thrilled to learn that many of the Olate Dogs are rescue dogs.
Halo, co-owned by Ellen DeGeneres, is known for its efforts to promote rescue and adoption and debunk myths about shelter pets.
In the spirit of this philanthropic collaboration, the Halo and Olate Dogs launched their partnership with the creation of a short, six-minute film, "Le Sauvetage" (The Rescue), directed by Peter McEvilley (The House Bunny, Last Vegas, Alias) and starring the Olate Dogs.
The short film has been lauded in the media and the film community alike. Le Sauvetage opened the Sonoma Film Festival on April 2, 2014 to great response and will appear at the Court Metrage, Festival de Cannes in France in May.
At the Sonoma Film Festival, the movie captivated audiences. And, in partnership with Freekibble.com, Halo donated 10,000 meals of Halo Spot's Stew to the local Sonoma shelter, Pets Lifeline.
An unexpected bonus at the Sonoma event was that one of the Pets Lifeline dogs, a sweet young mixed breed, caught the Olates' attention and they fell in love with him. The family adopted him and named him Max.
The pup will soon begin training to join the act, but if he doesn't show an affinity for the stage, Max will remain with the Olates as a beloved family member and companion, just as all of their performing and non-performing dogs do.
The Olates have a long history of adopting dogs into their family. Ten of the Olate dogs are rescue dogs. Family patriarch, Richard Olate, developed his act on the streets of his native Chile when he was a poor boy of just 12. He began rescuing stray dogs from the street and training them to be part of his amateur show. He worked for years towards his dream of becoming a professional dog act. Today, Richard and his wife, Rebecca, and son, Nicholas, continue to save dogs from shelters and train them to become part of their professional troupe.
Halo has a history of supporting efforts to promote how incredible shelter and rescue pets are. The company is the proud sponsor of Shelter Me, a PBS series that highlights shelter pets and stories of how they change our lives in amazing ways. Halo has also sponsored K9's for Warriors, a program that adopts shelter dogs and trains them to become service dogs for U.S. veterans, and the Humane Society of the United States' "Meet My Shelter Pet," campaign, a series of videos featuring celebrities and their adopted pets. Even the late Uncle ChiChi – who lived to become the world's oldest dog – was adopted from a shelter.
Through Halo's partnership with Freekibble.com, the company regularly promotes stories of shelter pets doing great things for humans and the world.
"There's a perception that shelter pets aren't as trainable, healthy or loving as other pets," says David Yaskulka, Halo's vice president of marketing communications. "In fact, it's the opposite. Shelter pets in every community completely defy those stereotypes. The Olate Dogs show how amazing shelter and rescue pets can be. If shelter dogs can become Olate dogs or search and rescue dogs or therapy dogs, they can certainly become great pets!"
Nicholas Olate agrees. "People are amazed that many our dogs are either rescue dogs or offspring of our rescue dogs," he says. "We're looking forward to working with Halo to spread this important message to our audiences."
Throughout the year, the Olate Dogs and Halo will be touring the continent, performing and spreading the message that shelter pets are talented, lovable and extraordinary.
For information about where to see the Olate Dogs perform, click here: http://www.halopets.com/olate
For over 25 years, Halo, Purely for Pets® has created holistic pet products of uncompromising quality. Halo believes nutrition is the single most important factor in the quality of a pet's life. Ellen DeGeneres – a long time Halo customer – became part-owner in 2008. In 2010, Halo donated 1 million meals to shelter pets for the U.S. Postal Service Adopt a Shelter Pet Stamp Program. Halo now donates over 1.5 million meals to shelter pets annually in partnership with Freekibble.com, and sponsors the acclaimed PBS series "Shelter Me." Halo's natural dog food, natural cat food, treats, supplements and grooming products are available at Petco, Whole Foods Market, and other fine pet specialty and natural food stores. Learn more at www.halopets.com.
In 2012 the Olate Dogs shot to stardom when they won the America's Got Talent grand prize. These sweet, funny, talented dogs and their entertaining owners/handlers have been capturing hearts across the world ever since Richard Olate developed his act on the streets of his native Chile when he was 12. He began rescuing stray dogs from the street and training them to be part of his amateur show.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Sean Collins' brief stint in the NHL is over. The Columbus Blue Jackets have announced that the 24-year-old forward has been returned to AHL Springfield and Jack Skille will fill the vacated roster spot.
Skille was taken by the Chicago Blackhawks with the seventh overall pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, but he wasn't able to firmly establish himself with the squad. Eventually Chicago traded him to the Florida Panthers in a deal that also involved Michael Frolik joining the Blackhawks. Skille scored eight goals and 24 points in 99 games over parts of three seasons with Florida.
The 26-year-old forward was a restricted free agent this summer and inked a one-year, two-way deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Collins is in his second full campaign as a pro after spending four seasons with Cornell University. He had 11 goals and 31 points in 64 AHL games in 2012-13.
