Animal activist detained in Moscow
A Russian animal rights activist has been detained in central Moscow after he and two others protested the country's policy of killing stray dogs in Sochi, according to an Associated Press report
Three activists unfurled a banner near Red Square on Saturday that read "Bloody Olympics."
The banner depicted a puppy covered in blood.
According to the report, a policeman approached and pulled the banner out of the activists' hands.
One man was detained while the other two fled.
A year before the Sochi Olympics, municipal authorities announced a contract to "catch and dispose" of strays.
Public pressure led authorities to announce they'd dropped the plan — but they didn't. Companies have been hired to continue killing the dogs throughout the games, which started Friday and end Feb. 23.

Happy birthday, Bob Barker
Bob Barker — game show host, outspoken proponent of animal rights and a man who has been putting his money where his mouth is — turned 90 yesterday.
And he was back on TV for the occasion.
Barker, who stepped down after nearly 35 years as host of CBS's The Price Is Right in 2007, returned in an episode (taped last month) that aired yesterday, during the show's celebration of Pet Adoption Week. He was greeted with a resounding round of applause from the audience.
Barker was known for his tradition of signing off with the words, "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered." His successor, comedian Drew Carey, has continued the sign-off.
Barker's passion for animals goes way back, and in 1987, it led him to resign from hosting the Miss U.S.A. and Miss Universe pageants — when organizers insisted on having contestants wear fur coats.
Since then he has campaigned for controlling pet overpopulation, fought for elephants and bears in captivity, supported anti-whaling efforts and funded college animal law programs.
In 1994, he established the DJ&T Foundation with the goal of helping solve the tragic problem of animal overpopulation. The Foundation funds low cost spay/neuter clinics and subsidizes hundreds of spay/neuter voucher programs across the country in an effort to help control animal overpopulation.
Barker's involvement with animal welfare is said to have begun in 1979, the same year he became a vegetarian. He has credited his wife, Dorothy Jo, with that, and after her death in 1981 he intensified his efforts for animal rights causes.
He was named national spokesman for "Be Kind to Animals Week" in May 1985. In 1994 he founded the DJ&T Foundation, named after his wife and mother. He has contributed millions for animal spaying and neutering programs and animal rescue. In 2010, he donated $2.5 million to PETA to open a new Los Angeles office. The Bob Barker Building opened in 2012 on Sunset Boulevard.
He has also funded animal law and ethics programs at several law schools, including a $1 million donation to the University of Virginia, $1 million dollar to his alma mater Drury, and endowments to Harvard, Duke, Stanford, Columbia, UCLA, Northwestern and Georgetown.
In 2007, Barker was presented with the first ever Animal Legal Defense Fund Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of a life committed to animals and achievements made on their behalf at ALDF's "Future of Animal Law" conference held at Harvard Law School.
In a recent interview with Parade, Barker revealed that, in addition to being a lover of dogs, bears and elephants, he also has a soft spot for rabbits.
"One day about 10 years ago, my housekeeper was coming to work and it was a cold day. And there was this little baby rabbit, sitting shivering in a yard about a block and a half from my home. She brought it home to me, and he is still thriving.
"He's about 10 and a half years old, which is very old for a rabbit, but he's getting good care so that he lasts long. He follows me around like a dog. He loves to be scratched, and I scratch him by the hour. I'll scratch him until I get cramps in my hands. It's true. He deserves it because he's a fine, fine animal."

Gun groups question Humane Society's connection with governor's dog
The Humane Society of the United States may not have Jerry Brown on a leash, but the organization's state director takes the California governor's dog out on one — nearly every day.
Jennifer Fearing is a regular dog walker for Sutter, the governor's corgi, and gun rights groups are saying the free service she provides — on top of giving the lobbyist undue influence — may amount to an illegal contribution.
"Does the hand that holds the leash of California's 'first dog,' cuddly corgi Sutter Brown, also have a hand in guiding policy with the dog's master, Gov. Jerry Brown?" an article in the San Francisco Chronicle asked.
Gun rights groups point out that all six pieces of animal rights-related legislation Fearing lobbied for in the most recent legislative session were approved and signed by Brown, including Assembly Bill 711, which, over the objection of hunters, banned the use of lead ammunition.
"The question needs to be asked," said Jennifer Kerns, spokeswoman for Free California, a gun-rights group that opposed the lead ammunition ban. "Is there a conflict of interest with such a close relationship between a lobbyist and a governor."
Kerns said gun-rights and hunting groups are considering filing a complaint with the state's Fair Political Practices Commission
Critics say Fearing may be breaking the rules because she hasn't reported the dog walking as an in-kind contribution.
"For someone who did not hesitate to take the moral high ground in denigrating the ethical standards of hunters during the campaign to ban lead ammunition, it is disappointing to see that Jennifer Fearing does not hold herself to those same ethical standards in properly disclosing her relationship with the governor," Chuck Michel, California attorney for the National Rifle Association, said in a statement.
Fearing has been walking Sutter around the Capitol grounds since Brown took office in 2011, and their trysts have never exactly been a secret. The two toured the state together to campaign for the governor's pet tax increase, which the Humane Society was in favor of. Last year, Sutter and Fearing joined the governor and animal rights activists to push for California's Pet Lover's license plate.
While it's true the way to a governor's heart is through his dog, Fearing and Brown (and we guess Sutter) are already of pretty like minds when it comes to animal welfare, so walking his dog isn't likely changing the course of history. And as Fearing points out, the volunteer gig doesn't give her direct access to the governor's ears, just Sutter's.
"I wouldn't misuse that relationship," Fearing told the Chronicle. "I deal with staff, and I go through the right channels," she said.
Still, the arrangement provides gun groups with some ammunition, and their ethical concerns aren't entirely off target.
Fearing says her love of dogs — not political gain — is what motivates her to walk Sutter.
"I would like to believe that we live in a civilized society where you can do neighborly things like walking people's dogs."

500 dogs in China saved from slaughterhouse
More than 500 dogs being trucked to a slaughterhouse in China were freed from that fate when an animal activist spotted the truck transporting them on the highway, went on line and used social media to arrange an impromptu blockade.
Around 200 people helped block the truck at a toll booth for 15 hours — until they were able to negotiate the dogs' release for $17,000, saving the dogs from being slaughtered and served as food.
While farm-raised dogs are traditionally eaten in China and some other Asian countries, the man who arranged the spontaneous road block over the Twitter-like social media site Sina Weibo, in addition to being an animal activist, reportedly suspected they were stolen.
After spotting a truck packed with hundreds of whimpering dogs on a Beijing highway, he put out a call begging fellow animal lovers to come and help him force the driver to release the animals.
Many of the animals were dehydrated, injured and suffering from a virus; at least 68 have been hospitalized, and one has died, the Associated Press reports. Video footage taken Tuesday showed the animals barking and whining in cramped metal crates.
"They were squeezing and pressing on each other and some were biting and fighting, and I saw some were injured or sick," said Li Wei, manager of Capital Animal Welfare Association and one of the people who participated in the rescue. Li said at least one dog had died in the truck.
The rescue was remarkable on several levels. It was a rare successful case of social activism in China, a sign that new sensibilities are rising when it comes to dogs, and that the traditional practice of eating them is, for many, intolerable.
China has no animal protection laws for dogs or livestock, but animal welfare movements are growing there and in much of Asia.
The activists reached an agreement with the driver to purchase the dogs for about $17,000 dollars — most of which was contributed by a pet company and an animal protection foundation, Li said.
AP reports that dozens of volunteers have flocked to the Dongxing Animal Hospital in Beijing where they are helping to clean cages and mop floors. Sixty-eight dogs were at the hospital, many of them bandaged and hooked up to intravenous drips. Most were severely dehydrated and some had parvovirus.
The rest of the dogs have been taken to a property on the northern outskirts of Beijing where Li's group is caring for them.
"When I saw the poor dogs on Twitter, I cried and cried, but I thought there was no way they could stop the truck. So I was very surprised when they did it and I wanted to help," said Chen Yang, 30, a woman who tended to a dog that had given birth to four puppies just after the rescue.
The volunteer response indicates a growing awareness for animal rights, said Lu Yunfeng, a sociology professor at Peking University.
"Dogs were historically on the food list in China and South Korea, while they were loved in Western countries," Lu said.
But in China, "as people became well-off, they had money to raise dogs, and while raising these dogs, they developed feelings for dogs," he said.

Were pups thrown in river saved downstream?
A grandmother in Bosnia is claiming she saved the six newborn puppies that a young woman tossed into a fast flowing river — an act that was captured on video and has outraged dog lovers internationally.
The Daily Mail is reporting that Ruza Pavlovic, a 75-year-old woman who lives in Bugojno, Bosnia, says she saw the pups struggling in the river and fished them out.
The Mail article points out that it hasn't been confirmed that the puppies are the same ones that a woman in a red hooded sweatshirt was videotaped throwing one by one into the river.
The "saved" puppies seem to have a brownish coloring not seen on those in the video. And the "savior" is making it known that she is too poor to provide them with food. "They are healthy and happy," they quote her as saying. "My problem is that they need at least three litres of milk a day and I live only on my small pension, but I do not have the heart to abandon them."
Police, the Mail article reports, have tracked down the girl they believe threw the animals into the river and are set to interview her. The name of the girl, also from Bugojno, has not been published to protect her safety.
The video was posted on Facebook, and appeared on YouTube and LiveLeaks, enraging animal lovers at least as much as last year's video of a man in Lithuania throwing a dog off a bridge.
Another animal rights group – SOS, which is based in Sarajevo – also claimed to have information confirming the location of the girl, who was reportedly filmed by her brother.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has offered a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the young woman.
Meanwhile, several Facebook groups have formed, seeking to bring her to justice as well.

Eating dog could be outlawed in China
The centuries-old custom of eating dogs in China could become a crime under a proposal that is expected to be sent to the National People's Congress in April.
What would be the nation's first law against animal abuse would fine anyone caught eating dog or cat up to 5,000 yuan and up to 15 days in jail. The law would fine "organizations" involved in the practice between 10,000 yuan and 500,000 yuan.
Dog is an age-old delicacy in parts of China, especially in the frigid regions of northeastern China. Nationwide there are dog farms where animals are raised for their meat ande fur.
The proposal comes as a new generation of rich, pet-loving urban Chinese comes of age, the Times of London reports.
Earlier attempts to draft an animal welfare bill in China were dropped after public complaints that human rights should be perfected first.
Dog meat, as in some other Asian cultures, has long been promoted by practitioners of traditional medicine for being high in protein, boosts energy levels and increases male virility.
One waiter at the Cool Old Lady Dog Meat Restaurant in the northeastern city of Shenyang said animal protection awareness was altering popular attitudes about eating cat and dog, according to the Times story. "Personally I think these two animals shouldn't be food. They're lovely. I just work for this restaurant to make a living, I have no choice. If the law is passed, I think our restaurant will sell other dishes."
In recent years, animal rights activist groups have sprung up in many Chinese cities, fighting to halt mass shipments of cats and dogs, crammed in wire cages, from the north to the markets and restaurants of Guangdong. Activists have published photographs on the internet to raise awareness of the fate of the cats.

Last lap for greyhound racing in New England
More than 3,000 people poured into Raynham Park over the weekend for the final day of live greyhound racing at the 69-year-old park, its last day in Massachusetts and, possibly, its last day in all of New England.
The end of greyhound racing in in Massachusetts is the result of a public referendum — 56 percent of voters favored banning the so-called sport — and part of a national trend driven by a mix of animal-rights concerns and declining track attendance, according to the Boston Globe.
Raynham Park staged its final race Saturday night.
Live dog racing has also ceased in Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and, temporarily at least, Rhode Island. It continues at 23 tracks in seven states, 13 of them in Florida, according to the anti-dog racing organization GREY2K USA, which formed in 2001. At that time there were 49 tracks in 15 states.
"I just thank Massachusetts voters for giving greyhounds a second chance,'' Christine A. Dorchak, president of GREY2K USA. "We have finally reached this wonderful day.''
Many of the dogs, maintained by a network of kennels, will move on to race in other states, but several hundred will be looking for new homes. Raynham is working with GREY2K and the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals-Angell Animal Medical Center to aid their adoption.
"People who voted to end dog racing should step forward now and take a dog home,'' Dorchak said. "This is the happy ending we all worked for, and these dogs make wonderful pets.''
For the first six months of 2010, the track will remain open for simulcasting, where patrons bet on horse and dog races from across the country shown live on closed-circuit televisions.

So, I found some creepy-crawlies on my budding shasta daisies today. Do they look like aphids to you? How can I get rid of them (organically)?
Follow-Up Postings:
Yep, aphids...big ones and small ones. Good news is that you have a nice crop of parasitized aphids, too. Those would be the big, swollen dark ones. That's a good sign. If you move your thumb over just a teensy bit, you'll accomplish one excellent method of organic control: squishing. |

One of the most common questions on this site is 'what are these (aphids)'. 4th is how to get rid of aphids. 10th most common is organically. 17th most common question is a recipe for insecticidal soap. Outstanding pix, BTW, thank you. Nice to not have to beg for anything, or something visible or at higher resolution! Dan |
Dan, many moons ago, before digital cameras came into almost everyone's possession, we managed to do a lot of identification withOUT pictures! Can you imagine? Some of the descriptions, ohmy. So funny. |
If there are too many Aphids to squish, or are too squemish, a sharp spray of water can help. If that does not seem to help then you can move up to Insecticidal Soaps, but always start with the least toxic to your environment means of control. Further up the chain would be Neem Oil products, but both the Insecticidal Soap and Neem Oil products are broad spectrum poisons that will also kill off the predators of Aphids and should not be the first thing used. |

Some of the descriptions, ohmy. Rhizo, recently some friends called me about issues they are having with leaf curl and sporadic dieback across several genera on their property. They are in a similar environment than here, 1 Sunset zone higher than us. We were having aphid leaf curl at the time, widespread, and I asked if the symptoms looked like what I described here. "YES!!!!!!" was the answer and lots of excitement. Well, the other day her DH described very different symptoms, almost opposite of what she said. Sigh. Anyway, I shoulda asked for pictures. But it is 2,4D drift so not a lot they can do anyway except call the County. And I agree that a sharp spray of water can work. Although we recently had someone on the trees forum take a power washer to their plum tree, so a little hesitant to pull that trigger... Dan |
LOLOL....that was funny about the guy with the power washer! THAT was a first. |
- Posted by dan_staley 5b/SS 2b AHS 6-7 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 3, 11 at 22:58
jean IIRC had some fun stuff to say to Mr Powerwasher. Anyway, any of the wand waterers in duh BigBox have several settings on them, and the one I have has a setting named 'Flat' and that's what I use to blast aphids. But often I have to come back with the soap, as the water is a temporary expedient. Dan |
That sharp spray of water does not need to have a lot of pressure behind it, considerably less then the 45 to 60 psi that most garden hoses have behind them will do. Many people think that after knocking Aphids off a plant those Aphids return because they do not understand the life cycle of Aphids. Because Aphids start producing new young almost as soon as they are born what you are really seeing is the next generation moving in to take the place of those yo knocked off the plant. You can have 5, or more, generations of Aphids on your plant by the time you see one Aphid. |

BIGFORK — If Polson has Montana's best view from a football field, Bigfork might have the second best from its position on the opposite side of Flathead Lake.
The Vikings' field sits above the high school, which is only a block north of Bigfork Harbor, on the highest point downtown. The town sits on the northeast shore of the lake, and the Flathead National Forest runs behind the east and northeast edges of the town, providing a mountainous, wooded backdrop.
"It's a pretty special spot, and I realize that's what makes this place different," said Dave Creamer, Bigfork's new athletic director. "As a field and as a stadium, it's nothing that remarkable. The view is unbelievable."
The field has been on the hill in Bigfork for some time, but underwent notable renovations in 2003. The school upgraded the playing surface and bleachers, which hold approximately 800 fans, and installed a track.
The field definitely needed the attention, too.
"This big hill, there were a lot of rocks here," Creamer said. "And that's all it was. Just the rock pit, we called it – rocky and dusty and that was about it."
The rocks have been replaced by the grass field, which battles storms coming off the lake. The field runs from east to west with the grandstands and press box on the south sideline.
The stands are generally full for games, with the rest of the patrons ringing the field.
"It's one of those deals like a lot of small towns, when there's a game going on, you might as well not plan on going to the grocery store or going anywhere else in town," Creamer said, "because everybody's at the game."

Big Data and the Process Revolution February 26, 2014 A wave of change is now making its way through the front office with uneven results. CRM is moving from a data capture and retrieval solution to something that supports end-to-end processes -- and as with ERP, data analysis is helping to improve what once were purely manual processes. The trick is in producing knowledge from data. Alone, data is useless. |
The Travel Battle Rages On: May the Most Relevant Brand Win February 25, 2014 The travel industry will increase 41 percent by 2016, making it worth $143 billion. With that much revenue on the line, booking sites are taking significant steps to ensure that they get their piece of the traveler pie. Brands no longer can offer experiences that are irrelevant to the end-user. Travel has become a user-centric industry, and the brand that serves up the most relevant content wins. |
Customers' Comings and Goings Not Always Linked to Satisfaction February 14, 2014 Which comes first -- a sector in which consumers have a lot of choices and can easily switch providers, or companies that are rigorous in their customer service policies and attitudes? A recent survey on customer service attitudes raises that question but doesn't exactly answer it. However, it does suggest there is a strong link between customer choice and customer service policies. |
Mobile CRM's Great Big Internet of Things Challenge January 30, 2014 Shortly after Google's $3.2 billion acquisition of Nest was announced, Nest CEO Tony Fadell felt obliged to clarify something for its users: Any changes to the company's privacy policy would be opt-in. Also, Nest would be transparent about those changes, he said. It's questionable whether Fadell can keep such a promise, though, unless it's written into the deal. |
Marketing Automation Report Card January 29, 2014 After two years of fairly hectic activity in the marketing automation space, it might be useful to ask where all the commotion has gotten us. Once a captive of finance, which was concerned with reeling in marketing's costs and rationalizing expenses with known -- or at least knowable -- benefits, marketing automation emerged in the last couple of years as a powerful tool. |
Worried Retail Shoppers Bury Heads in Sand January 28, 2014 Consumers are getting increasingly nervous over retailers' ability to protect their personal data -- yet they are not changing their shopping habits, according to findings from an AP-GfK poll. In the wake of the Target breach, nearly half of those surveyed expressed extreme concern about their personal data while shopping in stores, and 58 percent had deep worries about online spending. |
T-Mobile Gives Customers No-fee Checking January 23, 2014 T-Mobile USA on Wednesday launched Mobile Money, a money management application for smartphones that is meant to be used in conjunction with a reloadable T-Mobile Visa Prepaid Card. There is no charge for activation, monthly maintenance, in-network ATM withdrawals, or for replacing lost or stolen cards. There are also no minimum balance requirements. |
Subscriptions in the Enterprise January 22, 2014 Curiously, subscriptions and platforms have grown up together, even though neither is yet a necessary or sufficient requisite of the other. ZipCar and its ilk don't have formal platforms and the idea is not relevant to their models. Wireless vendors all have homegrown platforms -- primarily to run their Byzantine pricing and billing models -- and that's still off center. |
Smart Marketing in a BYOD World January 21, 2014 Bring Your Own Device, or BYOD, is an established trend at many U.S. enterprises, and it's likely to continue to grow. Mobile marketing is an established channel through which many U.S. companies reach customers and prospective customers -- and it also is expected to grow. Is 2014 the year the twain will meet? Will marketers begin targeting consumers at work? |
Huge Growth in Store for In-App Mobile Messaging January 16, 2014 In-app mobile advertising is expected to jump significantly between now and 2018, according to new figures from Juniper Research. Ad spend in this category will reach $16.9 billion by 2018, up from $3.5 billion last year, the consulting group found. Smartphones currently account for approximately 70 percent of in-app ad spend, Juniper said, but that ratio is expected to change. |
The Year of... January 15, 2014 There are some good reasons to consider platform's primacy in our thinking. Platform makes sense from both vendor and customer perspectives. For vendors, platform rebuilds the walled gardens that were prevalent back when compilers and databases drove things. For customers, platforms and their ecosystem partners offer a reasonably robust environment for doing most of their business processing. |
The Top 20 CRM Blogs of 2013, Part 2: Rounding Out the List January 14, 2014 It's no easy feat keeping a good CRM blog going, but I've been keeping track since 2007 of those that succeed. In Monday's column I presented the first 10 of this year's top 20 winners. Now, here are the other blogs you should be keeping tabs on. First up: Forrester, which has an array of bloggers -- I mean, analysts -- who cover aspects of CRM. |
Salesforce1 Paves Way for Internet of Customers January 10, 2014 Salesforce on Wednesday kicked off its Salesforce1 world tour in New York, touting the allure of the social, mobile and cloud customer platform to clients. Launched in November at Dreamforce 2013, Salesforce1 drove a 96 percent increase in mobile app active users and a 46 percent increase in active users of custom mobile apps, Salesforce maintained. |
Omni-Channel Retailing Keeps Amazon in the Lead January 09, 2014 A short while ago, few people had heard of omni-channel commerce, also known as omni-channel retailing. Today, however, if you were to ask most retail executives, you'd no doubt find that they are well-informed about the subject. In fact, our most ubiquitous brick-and-mortar retailer, Walmart, is currently quite immersed in this relatively new phenomenon. |
9 CRM Companies to Watch in 2014 January 08, 2014 I'd like to say it's going to be a good year in CRM, and I firmly believe it, though I can't offer a single, all-encompassing reason for my optimism. There are plenty of small things that begin to add up, however -- in an earlier time, the metaphor might have been "straws in the wind." So what are they? First, the economy is looking better -- but that's faint praise. |
Will 2014 Be the Year Mobile CRM Goes Omni-Channel? January 06, 2014 There was no end to the enterprise interest in mobile CRM in 2013. From apps to innovative text marketing campaigns to self-service tablet applications for B2B industries, companies were gleefully trying out new pilots and experimenting with new technologies. Why? Simply this: Computing has reached an inflection point. Desktops are just one vehicle offering access to the Internet. |
CFPB Suit Targets Predatory Online Lending Practices December 19, 2013 The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau this week put online finance companies on notice that it will not overlook them merely because they operate in cyberspace. Specifically, the bureau sued CashCall for collecting money consumers allegedly did not owe. In its suit, the bureau charged that CashCall and its affiliates engaged in unfair, deceptive, and abusive practices. |
Community Will Steal the CRM Show in 2014 December 18, 2013 Once a year I write a post that tries to predict some of the big happenings of the year ahead. The success of these efforts relies on clear thinking and objectivity -- trying to figure out what will come to pass rather than what I want to see happen. It's hard, but thankfully no one ever checks up on me a year later. First, let's take a look at the general economic outlook. |
Let's Hear It for Metadata December 16, 2013 It is a quirk of the data-information-knowledge continuum that data perceived by one person might be seen as information by another. The same goes for information and knowledge -- the frame of reference is important. You might even say it's all relative, and I don't think you'd be wrong. This conundrum is all brought into sharper relief by yet another slice of the range, and I don't mean Big Data. |
Banks Get a Little Less Hate in Latest Satisfaction Rankings December 12, 2013 Consumers seem to be softening their hate-hate relationship with the banking industry, according to a new report released Tuesday by the American Customer Satisfaction Index. In fact, customer satisfaction with financial services in general reached a new high in the third quarter of 2013, the report found. The index is up 0.3 percent to 76.7 on a 0 to 100 scale. |
It Was a Very Good Marketing, Partners and Platform Year December 11, 2013 We are nearing year-end, and that means it's time for my annual year in review -- my assessment of things that will matter in the long run. From my spot, it looks like marketing took a big step toward greater relevance in 2013, the importance of being a partner in an ecosystem increased -- as did the significance of software platforms -- and reports of CRM's demise were greatly exaggerated. |
Dreamforce Debriefing November 26, 2013 OK, we survived Dreamforce and that has enabled us to limp home exhausted by all the information we accumulated and the parties we attended just in time for the holidays. I have a lot of thoughts about the show. If I try to share most of them, the result will be a stream-of-conscious rant that will make little sense, so some discipline is in order. |
Dreamforce 2013 Notebook November 22, 2013 There's always a lot to digest after Salesforce.com's annual bacchanalia, Dreamforce, which drew 135,000 registrants this year. Some of it is about Salesforce's announcements, but a lot more of it is about the implications of those announcements, the people who attend, and what goes on around the show. Despite its peculiar name, Salesforce1 is an important step for Salesforce. |
Keep Holiday Shoppers Happy, in 3 Easy Steps November 21, 2013 This holiday season, everything from Nerf N-Strike Elite Hail-Fire Blasters to Doc McStuffins dolls and even diamond jewelry will be purchased via mobile devices to a greater extent than ever before. In fact, mobile shopping will surpass the growth of all other channels during the upcoming holiday season, eMarketer has predicted, as more and more consumers change they way they purchase gifts. |

Turner: Southend deserved point
Shrewsbury boss Graham Turner admitted that his side were below-par in their 1-1 draw with Southend.Anthony Grant`s strike rescued a point for the Shrimpers three minutes from time - and made amends for his glaring first-half miss when he somehow steered the ball wide from three yards.Grant`s angled volley cancelled out Mark Wright`s 47th minute effort, who scored his fifth goal in seven games.Turner said: "We didn't play well, didn't pass the ball as well as we can, so I'm not convinced that we deserved to win. Like a lot of other teams that come here, the United set-up made it difficult to play through."It was careless to drop two points. We defended too deeply. Maybe there's a fear factor that they will get in behind us because we've only kept one clean sheet now in 14 games."We had a chance to get one. The upsetting thing is that the lad (Grant) got three on the back post. We shouldn't have given him the chance but I must say it was an excellent finish."

So I was talking to Cha Cha the other day, and she told me about her great new blogging idea. Which is this: You type a random sentence into Google images and see what comes up. Sometimes it's funny. Then you post it.
I'm feeling a little random today, as I was yesterday, and I said, "You know what would be funny? If you used the search phrases that led people to your blog for that game." And she was all, "I don't think I want to know what people type into Google to find my blog."
Ha ha! I have no pride. Here's how people found my blog Surrender, Dorothy (Although, to be honest, 40% of them typed in either "Surrender, Dorothy" or "Rita Arens" or something equally boring. I was a little disappointed.)

Raising awareness of women's equality issues
Janet McFarland, a business reporter with The Globe and Mail whose reporting raised the issue of gender inequality on corporate boards, is the recipient of the inaugural Landsberg Award.
Presented by The Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF) in association with the Canadian Women's Foundation, The Landsberg Award celebrates a journalist giving greater profile to women's equality issues. It recognizes a working journalist doing exceptional research, analysis and writing through a gender lens about women's equality issues in Canada across print, broadcast or online news from 2013.
"Janet McFarland stood out because she presents thought-provoking research and awareness of issues that stimulate systemic change," says Mina Mawani, a jury member and president and CEO of the Canadian Women's Foundation. "Her work is discussed at dinner tables and, more importantly, is driving change."
Having written extensively on governance, leadership, women in business and executive compensation, McFarland's played a part in the Ontario Securities Commission developing new guidelines on boardroom diversity.
"I have written about the lack of women in top leadership roles in business for many years because I felt the topic cries out for broader public attention," says McFarland. "I've been privileged to meet and write about many dedicated women and men who are working in different ways to boost the numbers of women on boards and in senior management roles. Their work is sparking a slow but profound change in regulations, practices and attitudes, and I want to commend them for their commitment and thank them for their support."
The award is named after Michele Landsberg—award-winning Canadian journalist, author, social activist and feminist—to acknowledge the tremendous impact she has had as an advocate and role model for women. McFarland will receive a $5,000 prize from the Canadian Women's Foundation. A large number of submissions were considered by the jury, which included Landsberg along with men and women working in the media.
"It was wonderful to see entries from across the country. From print and radio and digital, from new names and well-known names on subjects as diverse as all the issues women face," says Sally Armstrong, the chair of the jury who is also an author, journalist and human rights activist. "A great beginning for The Landsberg."
The award was presented at the 17th Annual CJF Awards on June 4 in Toronto at The Fairmont Royal York.

The Landsberg Award is proudly presented by The Canadian Journalism Foundation in association with the Canadian Women's Foundation.
The award will celebrate a journalist who is raising awareness about women's equality issues in Canada and aims to inspire an increase in the media coverage and voice of women in Canada.
The award is named after Michele Landsberg—an award-winning Canadian journalist, author, social activist and feminist—to acknowledge the tremendous impact that she has had as an advocate and role model for all women in Canada. The award will inspire relentless and fearless journalists to consider Canadian news from a women's equality perspective.
Articulate, tenacious, progressive and persuasive, award-winning former Toronto Star columnist Michele Landsberg is one of Canada's best known feminists and social justice activists. A fearless advocate for women and children over many decades, she uses words, in print and in person, to fight injustice, to attack oppressive power structures and policies, and to champion the cause of human rights, race and gender equality, peace and pluralism. Through her columns, she gave a strong public voice to many of those who would otherwise not be heard.
This award will recognize a working journalist (employed or freelance) doing exceptional research, analysis and writing through a gender lens about women's equality issues in Canada.
The award recipient will receive a $5,000 prize from the Canadian Women's Foundation.
Awarded to one working journalist (employed or freelance) who has done the most to shine a spotlight on women's equality issues in Canada in print, broadcast or online news reporting in 2013.
See the list of jurors for this award.
Submit one to three examples (in English or French) of original work in print, broadcast or online news reporting that demonstrates exceptional research, analysis and writing through a gender lens and shines a spotlight on women's equality issues in Canada. Applicants are asked to submit a 250 word personal statement addressing the following questions:
1. How did a gender analysis and feminist framework inform your work?
2. What impact did your stories have?
3. What long-term impact do you hope to have with your writing on raising awareness of issues facing women and girls in Canada?
This award is now closed.
Deadline: April 4, 2014, 5:00 p.m. EDT
The jury will review applications in April and the award will be presented at the 17th Annual CJF Awards on June 4, 2014 at The Fairmont Royal York in Toronto.
Twitter: #LandsbergAward
The Canadian Journalism Foundation is proud to present this award in association with:
The Canadian Women's Foundation is Canada's public foundation for women and girls. We empower women and girls in Canada to move out of violence, out of poverty and into confidence. Since 1991, we've raised money and invested in over 1,300 community programs across Canada, and are now one of the ten largest women's foundations in the world. We take a positive approach to address root causes of the most critical issues facing women and girls. We study and share the best ways to create long-term change and bring community organizations together for training and to learn from each other. We carefully select and fund the programs with the strongest outcomes and regularly evaluate their work. We have a special focus on building a community of women helping other women. Helping women creates safer families and communities, and a more prosperous society for all of us. We invest in the strength of women and the dreams of girls.

Hello all,
I am traveling with my firearm, cross-country in my RV this summer. After I visit Maine, I am going to Canada and want to ship my firearm to myself to pick back up when I re-enter the U.S. via Wisconsin. (Obviously I can't take my gun into Canada.) Can I legally do this? I don't live in Wisconsin, but it will be where I re-enter to finish my vacation before heading back home to New Mexico.

Anyone Can Participate in Bike to Work Day on May 12, 2011
San Francisco Bay Area's 17th Annual Bike to Work Day, which will be held on May 12, 2011, aims to motivate non-bike riders and those already cycling to get involved. With bike riding's many advantages like healthier living, reducing one's footprint, and an affordable transportation alternative, Bike to Work Day is headed for a significant increase in participation in 2011. Biking to work is a great way to fulfill the requirement of 30+ minutes of physical activity per day needed to stay healthy.
Bike to Work events, presented by 511.org and Kaiser Permanente, will take place throughout the month including a Team Bike Challenge and Bike Commuter of the Year Awards. Additionally, local employers are urged to help encourage bike riding as more physically active employees are more alert, healthy and more productive.
"Bike riding benefits not only Bay Area residents' health but the environment as well," says Diana Rohini LaVigne, regional producer for Bike to Work Day. "Unfortunately, bike riding comes with misperceptions from what you must wear to being fit before even starting. But biking is for everyone. You don't need special clothing, you don't need special equipment, and you don't need to already be in shape to take up biking. All you need to do is find your motivation and jump on."
This year's message is to find your inner motivation and reason to ride a bike and to go for it. It could be anything from reducing stress, losing weight, helping diminish global warming, or having bragging rights at the water cooler on the most distance traveled on a bike. Bike riders come in all different shapes and sizes, and no one should feel limited by their size, attire, equipment or speed. Bike riding is an equalizer and all are accepted. There are activities in all nine counties; Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma.
Hey WebMaster and others:
just wondering what was suppose to be under the link called "resources"?
With the fatal bike accident last week here in Oakland on my mind, I suggest some links to websites that educate on safe riding (and I am NOT suggesting that the victim of this terrible accident did anything wrong).
The one I think is pretty good is (bluntly) called: "How To Not Get Hit By Cars". The link is: http://bicyclesafe.com/
i was just looking at the main page and the stuff about winners.
it's the last week, so folks are setting their eyes on the prize, nothing like some healthy competition. my question: are the winners judged by size of company within a county or will there be JUST one winner for all sized companies within the county?
it doesn't make sense to me that a company with say, 30 teams, would be judged the same as a small company with just 4 or 5 teams... there is no way a small or medium company could realistically beat a company with 30 teams. accordingly, the winners per county will be large companies only? maybe i misread the website, or misunderstood it...
please clarify if you know the answer. thanks. two wheels...
Hi- I biked to work every day last week, and posted all those rides. But for some reason, my 5 days medal isn't showing up. Can someone help? Joel Gerwein

Air travel just got a little easier for Sarasota-Bradenton travelers.
Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) began offering curbside valet parking Tuesday, giving travelers the option to leave their vehicle with a valet parking attendant located near the terminal front drive center canopy at check-in. Returning travelers will retrieve their cars at the same location. The daily maximum fee is $16 with a minimum fee of $10.
Vehicles will be parked at a nearby airport parking lot.
Republic Parking System, which will run SRQ's new valet service, operates no wait terminal curbside valet parking service at other airports. Valet service attendants monitor flight information displays to know when travelers will be returning, and have their cars waiting in the valet pick-up area without any time wasted waiting in line.
SRQ is offering an introductory offer for one free day of valet parking to customers staying more than two days.
Residents can call 359-5200 for more information, or visit www.srq-airport.com
