The role of responsible leadership—for each leader and as part of a leader's collective actions—is essential to global competitive success (Doh and Stumpf, Handbook on responsible leadership and governance in global business, 2005; Maak and Pless, Responsible leadership, 2006a. Failures in leadership have stimulated interest in understanding "responsible leadership" by researchers and practitioners. Research on responsible leadership draws on stakeholder theory, with employees viewed as a primary stakeholder for the responsible organization (Donaldson and Preston, Acad Manag Rev 20(1):65–91, 1995; Freeman, Strategic management: a stakeholder approach, 1984; Mitchell et al., Acad Manag Rev 22:853–886, 1997; Phillips and Freeman, Stakeholder theory and organizational ethics, 2003. We define and operationalize responsible leadership from the perspective of employees and their views of the actions of their leaders. Drawing on a comprehensive survey of 28 Indian and global organizations operating in India, we report the results from 4,352 employees on the relationship between responsible leadership, their pride in and satisfaction with their organization, and retention 1 year later. Strong associations were found among these variables suggesting that responsible leadership—employee perceptions of the support they receive from managers, the HR practices, and corporate socially responsible actions—may be an overarching construct that connects them to the organization.

Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
Saturday, September 08, 2007 By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette James Farrior was asked the other day if he knew the age of Jamal Lewis, the former Baltimore Ravens running back who has joined the Cleveland Browns. "Thirty-one?" Farrior said. It only seems that way. Told Lewis turned 28 just last month, Farrior said, "Man, he's got a lot of miles on him." Indeed, Lewis is just a year older than Steelers running back Willie Parker, even though he has been tormenting the Steelers defense for the better part of this decade. He was 21 when he became the only rookie other than Tony Dorsett to rush for more than 1,000 yards (1,364) for the eventual Super Bowl champion. And he has been part of a Ravens team that has had more recent success against the Steelers than the Browns, winning five of the past seven games. That is something the Browns are hoping Lewis can provide after signing him to a one-year contract as an unrestricted free agent -- an attitude and formula on how to beat the Steelers. He will get his first chance in his new uniform at 1 p.m. tomorrow when the Steelers, who have won the past seven meetings with the Browns, open the regular season in Cleveland Browns Stadium. "The hits have taken a toll on him, but he's still a good running back," said Farrior, an inside linebacker and the team's defensive captain. "We know what we're going to get out of Jamal. He's a tough runner. If he's got a hole, he's going to hit it, so we got to do a good job of clogging these holes." The Steelers have done a good job of clogging a lot of holes, not just against Lewis. They haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher in their past 25 games, dating to the 2005 season, and have allowed just one 100-yard rusher in their past 50 games, counting playoffs. What's more, they are coming off a season in which they didn't allow a 100-yard performance for only the second time in 37 years. The last running back to gain more than 100 yards against them was Edgerrin James of the Indianapolis Colts, who gained 124 yards in a Nov. 28, 2005, game in the RCA Dome. Prior to that, no back had rushed for more than 100 yards since Rudi Johnson (123) in Week 4 of the 2004 season In that time, they have held backs such as LaDainian Tomlinson (twice), Larry Johnson, Willis McGahee, Curtis Martin, Tiki Barber and Fred Taylor under 100 yards. "It's a mind-set we have," Farrior said. "We enjoy doing it. And it's definitely going to help us win the ballgame." "We take a lot of pride in shutting down the run," defensive end Brett Keisel said. "That's our main goal up front, to shut the run down and get after the quarterback. That's been our goal ever since I've been here." "When you do that, coach [Dick] LeBeau can work his magic and make a team one-dimensional," inside linebacker Larry Foote said. "With the linebackers, it's a pride thing. You don't want someone else to have a good day on the ground." Lewis has 30 100-yard games in his career, but only one in 10 games against the Steelers. That came in the final game of the 2003 season when he rushed for 114 yards on 27 carries, the year he finished with an NFL-best 2,066 yards. After rushing for 1,132 yards and nine touchdowns last season -- his fifth 1,000-yard season in six years -- Lewis reported to the Browns weighing 239 pounds, 11 pounds lighter than last season. "I have seen flashes from Jamal," Browns coach Romeo Crennel said. "I am impressed with the way he reported, because his physical condition was good. His weight was down and he showed some burst. We know he is a tough runner who is hard to tackle. I think that is what we are going to see this year." http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07251/815742-66.stm |
Re: Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
With even a minimal amount of research (NFL.com) you could find Lewis' stats against the Steelers. 202 rushes 732 yards - a not exactly impressive 3.6 ypc average. 3.6 ypc wont beat the Steelers sunday, not unless the Steelers help him out by beating themselves. Allowing only a single 100 yard rusher in 50 odd games is a very impressive stat - I guess the ball control offense has something to do with it aswell. |
Re: Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
I was suprised to learn that Lewis was only 28 years old. I was guessing 31-32. Learn something new every day.
I'm not worried about Lewis. I'm more concerned when it comes to McGahee and the Ravens offense. |
Re: Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
I'm not worried about Lewis. I'm more concerned when it comes to McGahee and the Ravens offense.[/QUOTE]
I agree that McGahee is more of a concern than Lewis. I don't think the Browns OL is strong enough to get the "Old Man" Lewis enough time to get those legs working. I don't see that same pop in his first cut and he will not be able to run way from our LBs. |
Re: Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
Re: Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
Lewis is a has been... He's just a temporary fix for the Browns...
Re: Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
He only has 1 100 yard game against the Steelers in his career....The Steelers shut down Lewis all the time and they will do so tomorrow ............I'm not worried about Jamal Lewis even though he does look to be more motivated and is in the best shape he has been in some time........
Re: Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
That is something the Browns are hoping Lewis can provide after signing him to a one-year contract as an unrestricted free agent -- an attitude and formula on how to beat the Steelers
the browns have big goals don't they.:coffee: boy i'm glad i'm not them:tt02: |
Re: Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
I expect the Steelers to do the obvious: Shut down the run and make the Browns pass. If Charlie Frye beats the Steelers, well, the Steelers will have been beaten by Charlie Frye. Does anyone actually envision that happening?
Re: Browns' Lewis will test Steelers
I was never overly impressed with Jamal when he was with the Ravens. He had a much better OL in Baltimore than he does in Heaveland. The Steelers will shut him down with very little effort, imho.
My guess is that he will probably be in jail by halftime, so we won't have to worry about him anyway. :grin: |

SRK, Arjun, Varun for Rohit movie
Comment on this storyWRITER duo Sajid-Farhad have a script ready for Rohit Shetty which is an '80s Hindi Bachchan film remake featuring Shahrukh Khan (SRK).
The film will also have two younger actors starring as Khan's siblings.
To play SRK's chhote bhais, the makers have allegedly offered the roles to Arjun Kapoor and Varun Dhawan. Imagine, the trio in a film together for the first time. Now that would rock the box office.
A source reveals: "It's an out-and-out comedy with a strong emotional core – classic Rohit Shetty territory."
SRK's production house sources are tight-lipped about this news: "We are going to make a film with Rohit Shetty in the future. We are working on the story. Nothing else has been finalised so far." – Oneindia.in

I don't know you man, but here, from Argentina, I have been reading Slashdot since 13+, I am extremely grateful for what you did (although your polls always sucked [just jocking]). I think... no, I know that I learnt so many things thanks to this site. Really dude, thanks.

Warner Bros. Announces Another Harry Potter Movie (Sort Of)
The movie will be based on the Hogwarts textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which Rowling published IRL in 2001. The film will follow the exploits of author Newt Scamander; Rowling herself is set to write the screenplay. A Warner Bros. statement announcing the film threatens the film "is planned as the first picture in a new film series."
"Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world," said Rowling. "The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry's gets underway."Actually, you know what, get Sam Rockwell in this thing and I'm on board.

great travel bag,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Perfect bag for our trip to Italy - our tour only allowed 1 bag but airline allowed 2 bags - packed the small square bag at the bottom of my suitcase and a the end of the trip unfolded it to stash away dirty clothes and shoes, etc.
The shoulder strap unhooks on the bag which went on the plane. I had read a reveiw about it before our trip and it worked perfectly - holds quite a bit of stuff

Great to travel with if you plan on a lot of Shopping.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Fits a great deal of stuff inside. I traveled into Indonesia with this folded up, and left with it loaded full of stuff. Perfect to keep on you if you travel often, or to keep in the car. This is a larger than usual duffel bag, and very easy to fold back to the square pocket.

Attractive ripstop travel bag,
By The color is just beautiful and attractive for this bag that transform into a full size duffel bag. The fabric is thin but made of ripstop pattern for extra strength. There are two zippers on the front for stuff that you need access more often. A Velcro to wrap both handles together is provided for easy carryout. The picture shows the bag both folded and unfolded into a duffle (you are not getting two bags but one).

I bought this bag because I needed an over night bag. I tend to pack extra of everything so this was the perfect size. I used it on an over night trip and loved it! a few weeks later I used it on my second over night trip as I was walking into my hotel the little black plastic piece that holds the long strap on broke into. I was so sad I loved this bag so i contacted the seller. I contacted them the night the strap broke. Not only did I hear back from them the very next day. They had already shipped me a replacement bag!! Talk about Awesome Customer service!!!! This company definitely wants your business and will do what it takes to make the customer happy.I am COMPLETELY SATISFIED with this bag and company. I will for sure purchase from them in the future. I love the bag its big and roomy and makes a great piece of luggage to have!!!! if you are looking for a great bag this is it!!! Again I appreciate the fast, prompt and AWESOME customer service!!!

Bags more space,
This is a seriously big bag and the really nice thing is that it folds out of a much smaller bag. Unzip this smaller bag (roughly twelve by thirteen inches) to create a jumbo-size container. Two zip pockets on one side, a carrying handle or use it with a strap over the shoulder, see the photos at the top of the page. The material is sturdy and waterproof, reasonable zips and strap though with any bag in this style there could be tendency to put just too much heavy stuff in it. This is not an industrial strength product for use in a work environment.
If you fold the large bag material carefully and then zip it into the smaller bag it turns out to be not too thick and quite lightweight. I think it would be useful if you travel somewhere knowing that you need to bring something back on the return journey, the smaller Bago will not take up too much space or perhaps more importantly weight in your luggage. Ideal for sportsmen who have to carry plenty of kit with them. A clever product that does what it's supposed to.

Premature review not likely to say much about the duffel,
By gomez addams (Illinois, United States) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Haven't used the bag yet. It annoys me when people write reviews on products they have not actually used, so I am now annoying myself. However, I do this in response to a misleading insert included in my packaging. The insert said "we have a special gift for you" and said I had 24 hours to scan the code or go to their website to claim my gift. When I did this, the "gift" is an offer to become a VIP reviewer, in return for which they will email me coupons and "free products." This is not what I consider to be a "free gift," and it smacks of an attempt to game the review system. How many people could give an informative review within 24 hours?
So my early impression is that the company is slick. As far as the bag goes, it is spacious and very lightweight. One thing I can verify is that it folds easily. I usually have trouble with products that are supposed to easily fold into a small package, but this one is actually very easy to fold up. As far as durability, all I can say is that it held up well for 24 hours during which it was not used.

Good fabric, poor "hardware" and debatable construction -- not for medium-duty luggage use,
By Charlie Blackwood (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Quite liked the clever self-contained design of this "extra" bag, but returned it for quality concerns. The fabric itself seems very good -- ultra lightweight but woven in a way that should make it quite durable. Given that, don't know why the manufacturer cheaped out on other elements. The "hardware" that connects the shoulder strap to the bag is the cheapest possible plastic, flimsy and brittle. Zoom in on the photos and look closely at those connectors -- I wish I had. The strap material is also very, very basic, though that would probably hold up fine as long as it wasn't subjected to too much abuse. (i.e. I might try to check this bag as infrequently as possible) Be aware, also, that this bag is very large, so if you fill it with dense items (i.e. jeans rather than, say, a bulky puffy sleeping bag) the handles might really have trouble supporting the weight.
I'm sure for some people's needs this is an excellent bag, but I was looking for something collapsible that could still withstand frequent (checked luggage) air travel when filled to 50lbs, and this bag is not the solution. Much happier with the Samsonite Tote-A-Ton Duffel Bag, 32.5" x 17" x 11.5". It's got fewer frills (no shoulder strap, no way to zip it into its own neat package when not using) but essential construction is far superior. |

It has come to my attention that man posters think that Champion Suggestions belong in a separate forum section. I believe that these posts do serve purpose, however i can see why people would rather have this section for feedback on current champions only. The forum does get crowded with so many ideas being tossed around. Also the organization of the forum for champion suggestions could be done in a better manner. Quick Poll to get attention of how many people would support this idea. I know its probably not top priority of riotgames. But it has been a recent issue that has a lot of controversy. I think the conflict between the two groups would be better resolved with a separate forum section.
I think that yes... they should be separate... however I don't see who would like to read them at all since people only read champion suggestions while they are waiting for response on champion feedbacks... Champion suggestions are not people's usual preference to what to read. But yeah... if people are interested that would be good.
If they do this, they should really enable votings for the best suggestions. To maintain them on the top.
bump for forum changing justice!
Razzle Dazzle
o gawd plz do this... I'll be internally grateful

it would be nice to not have to sypone though champion sugestions to read real beta feedback.
Alternatively, Riot could start testing the Suggestion Engine (TM) that they have discussed previously and allow us to submit champion ideas that way.
I agree.
35 to 1, i think we may be onto something here.
Definitely. The community seems to have a consensus.

For easier spring cleaning, fill a bucket with basics that need to be toted from room to room: all-purpose and glass-cleaning sprays, a sponge, a toothbrush, a squeegee, a scrub brush, hopsacking, and terry-cloth towels in washcloth and hand-towel sizes. Between tasks, hang rubber gloves over the rim to dry.
Wooden shutters can be just as functional and good-looking indoors as out. Their louvers are a perfect (not to mention plentiful) spot to tuck invitations, display artwork, or hang a message pad.
Knowing how to tackle a spot or spill is the first step toward removing it. To create a handy reference for treating the most stubborn stains, color-print our stain-removal chart, slide it into a clear plastic sleeve (available at office-supply stores), and place it in a clamp hanger. Suspend the hanger from a hook in your laundry area. The next time you find yourself facing a stained garment, just look up and follow the instructions.
Hooks and clips keep mops and brooms tidy and tools at hand. If you've ever reached for the feather duster and had everything in the closet come tumbling out, try this: Screw hooks and spring-loaded clips inside and use them to hold brooms, a dustpan, mop, and duster. Do the same with tools on the door and you won't have to get out the toolbox for quick repairs. Store cleaning supplies in a bucket to transport them easily from room to room.
Take storage to new levels with shelves below a row of jackets.
Here's a new job for photo protectors: Use them to keep recipe cards organized and free of spills and spatters in the kitchen.
Turn your bulletin board into a convenient spot for more than just messages.
Rather than clutter a single hook with several sets of keys, make a custom board that gives each set its own clearly labeled space.
These quick and easy tasks keep your home tidy day after day.
Prevent confusion the next time you make the seasonal switch from storm windows to screens. Use a label maker to identify which room and specific frame a screen or storm window fits, or write the information on a strip of painters' tape with a permanent marker. Stick the labels to a top corner of each screen or window.

A 22-year-old man was flown to a Boston hospital overnight after suffering serious injuries in a moped accident.
The accident happened on Marsh Road in Pelham shortly before 12:30 a.m. Police said they found Corey Reilly, of Pelham, semiconscious on the ground with a serious head injury.
Police said no other vehicles were involved, and the cause of the crash is under investigation. They said alcohol and speed did not appear to be factors in the crash. Reilly was not wearing a helmet, police said.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

EU leaders cannot agree whether they should meet for a eurozone crisis
summit in September, whilst critical voices within the euro club have
criticised European Central Bank tactics of purchasing distressed
government bonds on the open markets.
Spanish Finance Minister Elena Salgado was the first to raise the issue of
an extraordinary eurozone summit yesterday (9 August) in statements made
to Spanish radio.
Salgado said her country did not require a bailout, but emphasised that
decisions taken at the extraordinary 21 July eurozone summit should be
implemented fast.
The summit agreed to throw a new 160-billion-euro lifeline to Greece and
to expand the scope of the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF), to
let it buy sovereign debt on the secondary markets and to bail out banks.
Asked if there would be a European crisis meeting, Salgado said: "We have
been holding telephone conversations and we will no doubt hold a meeting
in the first days of September."
Commission spokesperson Olivier Bailly told EurActiv that the EU executive
had no knowledge of such plans, and that the Spanish minister may have
referred to a possible meeting of finance ministers.
The summit decisions require the ratification of national European
parliaments, which are not expected to be able to act before September
following the summer breaks.
Salgado said European policymakers remained in close contact by mobile
telephone in the meantime.
Under the Polish EU Presidency, a euro group meeting is scheduled for 3
October in Luxembourg, with EU finance ministers due to meet the next day.
Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen has said that no new summits are
necessary since member states should focus on the immediate implementation
of the summit measures.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Katainen also said his country was against
any proposed modifications to the EFSF.
A `Stability Council' for the euro zone?
Against the background of these contradictory statements, Germany launched
the idea of putting in place a euro zone "stability council" that could
impose sanctions on profligate members.
German Economy Minister Philipp Roesler yesterday endorsed such a new
body, adding that member states would also have to undergo competitiveness
tests, including assessments of the flexibility of their labour markets.
"We need a new stability pact for the euro," Roesler told Reuters. He
added that such a body would ensure the long-term stability for the euro,
and said he would present a proposal - which includes introducing a German
style debt-brake - to his EU counterparts at their next meeting.
Roesler, the leader of the German junior coalition partner the Free
Democrats (FDP), had briefed Chancellor Angela Merkel on the proposal, a
chancellery source said.
A spokesman for the German finance ministry said that the proposal had not
been coordinated with the government, however, despite earlier assurances
from Roesler that it was a government proposal.
The comments underline the underlying friction between the Economy
Ministry and the Finance Ministry, run by Wolfgang Schӓuble, a
member of Merkel's Christian Democrats.
Is EU becoming a `Debt Union"
In the meantime in Slovakia - one of the most recent entrants to the euro
zone - a junior coalition party openly challenged the 21 July decisions
regarding EFSF, casting doubt over their chances of parliamentary
ratification there.
Slovakia's parliamentary president, Richard Sulik, told TASR agency on
Tuesday that taking on the debts of financially weaker countries is
turning the EU's political alliance into a "debt union", describing it as
"a straight road to complete socialism". Silik is leader of SaS, Freedom
and Solidarity, a liberal party.
"It would be like the Soviet Union all over again. The Soviet Union had 15
republics, the EU will have 27," Sulik said. He also criticised the recent
decision by the European Central Bank (ECB) to buy Italian and Spanish
"We in SaS will do everything so that it [the proposal] does not pass
through parliament," Sulik said, adding that it was not a valid argument
to claim that the measures were necessary simply because default by some
countries could cause a recession.
"Fine, let GDP decline for two quarters in a row. It's worth the billions
that Slovakia would have saved," he said.
Slovakia's Finance Minister, Ivan Miklos, said that purchases of
distressed government bonds on open markets by the European Central Bank
and the euro zone's EFSF bailout fund should be a temporary and
extraordinary action.
Miklos, who is from Prime Minister Iveta Radicova's Slovak Democratic and
Christian Union - Democratic Party (EPP-affiliated), told Reuters that the
Slovak government would do all it can to ensure that the central European
country's parliament approves the bond-buying mandate for the EFSF soon,
but acknowledged that it faced an uphill battle due to disagreements in
the ruling coalition ranks.
"I would accept purchases on the secondary market by the ECB or the EFSF
as an extraordinary tool in an extraordinary situation, but not as a
permanent tool which in fact would lead to a transfer union or a fiscal
union," Miklos said.
Parliaments' plans
Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has urged euro zone countries'
leaders to accelerate the parliamentary approval procedures for EFSF/ESM.
"In order to end the uncertainty, the technical and political processes
should be finalised by early September," Economic and monetary
Commissioner Olli Rehn said in a written statement released last Friday.
However, this goal will be hard to achieve.
In Slovakia, the parliament reconvenes on 6 September, but no date has yet
been set for the debate and vote on the eurozone mechanisms. The
Netherlands Parliament also sits again on 6 September, but a vote on the
EFSF/ESM changes is expected in October at the earliest.
In Finland, there is a risk that some members of the governing coalition's
Social Democratic Party and Leftist Alliance will oppose the measures. The
opposition True Finns are strongly opposed to bailouts in general,

This is pretty close to the Threadgill's offering I remember. I'd reduce the onions next time, though, and maybe add more black-eyed peas. Be careful with the Cajun seasoning because most of them are very salty. If you want more kick, add cayenne (I did, and it really helped 1/4 teaspoon at a time until you're happy. Lastly, we think the flavor was greatly improved with more time to blend, say 48 hours or so.
This recipe as is isn't really anything really great and doesn't make any of my friends or family ask for more. However.....If you really want to make a "caviar" to remember..... Use two cans, drained and rinsed of black-eyed peas, one can, drained and well rinsed of black beans, add the onions, minced garlic to taste, one seeded and minced jalapeno pepper, (two if you're daring or if the peppers are small) a pint of cherry tomatoes cut in half, some green onions finely minced, and pour an 8 oz bottle of zesty Italian dressing over the whole thing. Let set in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Garnish with a couple of cherry tomatoes, some avacado, chopped, and cilntro. Serve with those chips shaped like scoops. Your guests will LOVE this any time of the year!

Something has me stumped. A major event occurred recently in Los Angeles, California. One with significance for all who care about the welfare of pets. And yet…the L.A. media didn't run the story – or anyone else. It sits quietly, like a well-guarded secret. Let's blow the lid off this thing, and then rip open the treat bags and celebrate… Barkworks in L.A. has closed following pressure from protesters! Barkworks has been documented as one of the many pet shops that sells dogs from puppy mills.

Things don't look good for Folie, a 4-year-old tan Chihuahua in a cage in the small dogs room at the South Los Angeles animal shelter. She presses her nose to the bars attempting to get closer to Matthew Spease, the shelter's animal care technician supervisor, as he unlocks the latch to her stainless steel home. She is excited to get some attention from him, but her squeals of anticipation sound raspy. She's picked up a respiratory infection, commonly known as "kennel cough," in the month she's spent at the shelter.

Comment posted by CAPS West Coast Director Carole Raphaelle Davis in response to article:
"No Kill December" is a publicity stunt designed to obfuscate the fact that our shelter system is in shambles. The shelter system is a well-oiled killing machine and everyone in the animal protection movement knows it. This is a LAAS co-branding campaign with Best Friends Animal Society, which collects more than $40 million per year in donations.
Small, financially strapped rescue orgs are scrambling to save lives. They could use some of that money being siphoned off from them in order to pay for salaries, marketing, publicists and parties. Small rescue orgs struggle to provide med care for sick, injured and fear-biting animals who would have been killed during "No Kill December." The heavy lifting is being done by very small organizations, many with fewer than a dozen volunteers, spending their hard-earned money to save lives while Barnette and Best Friends Animal Society take the credit.
We receive complaints daily that Barnette is not enforcing our spay/neuter law or illegal sales. How can they brag of "improvement" if it is concocted while we outsource animals to private shelters in order to make a fantasy appear real? Animals will be killed in January, in February, on and on until people understand that breeding, selling or buying animals is uncontionable while we kill tens of thousands of animals per year.
How is LAAS "No Kill" if animals are outsourced and rescuers picked up the slack and pay medical bills for animals who would have been killed? Isn't that more like "No Responsibility?"
LA Bans the Sale of Puppy & Kitten Mill Pets

They don't call it the City of Angels for nothing. We're not being sarcastic — Los Angeles has a serious soft spot for little furry critters. Last month, on Halloween, the L.A. City Council pulled off an impressive trick: formalizing its approval of an ordinance that bans the retail sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits, becoming the largest American city to do so.
You heard right. In the future, the dogs, cats, and rabbits seen in Los Angeles pet stores will be from shelters or rescue groups. Products of puppy and kitten mills will simply not be available for sale in L.A. Animal advocates around the country are cheering this as a giant leap toward the Golden State becoming the largest no-kill community in the country. Way to go, Los Angeles

Los Angeles passes ban on puppy mill animals in pet stores
Los Angeles Ordinance Banning Sale of Dogs, Cats, and Rabbits Passes
A landmark ordinance, spearheaded by the Companion Animal Protection Society (CAPS), officially passed on Wednesday. The ban was the result of years of pressure from non-profit organizations like CAPS to curb the influx of puppy mill dogs into big cities. In February of last year, CAPS provided the Los Angeles City Council with the results of its two year investigation into LA's retail pet stores and the commercial breeding facilities – mostly from the Midwest and rural California – that supplied them.
The undercover investigation included video and photographic evidence of puppy mill operators who routinely violated federal law – Animal Welfare Act (AWA) – as well as state laws protecting animals. CAPS uncovered evidence that many of LA's pet retailers still purchased and supported commercial breeders. Most of these puppy mills were neglectful and abusive to their animals, repeatedly violated USDA minimum standard of care, and often bred sickly or subpar dogs. CAPS also discovered that LA's pet stores were misleading unsuspecting consumers by selling them sick and dying animals.
In addition to the undercover investigations, CAPS organized hundreds of protests in Los Angeles pet stores that also put pressure on local officials to act against puppy mills. CAPS led a landmark protest in 2009 inside the Westside Pavilion Mall in Los Angeles against one of seven Barkworks stores, which set the stage for a long campaign in the Southern California. CAPS broke new ground in the California animal protection movement by invoking the more expansive California Constitution to legally protest inside a mall, which is a de facto public forum under California case law.
CAPS continued its Barkworks campaign by holding several more protests at three malls, often with more than 100 participants. One of our unique protests included more than 70 inner city public high school students who got involved after learning about the puppy mill-pet shop-shelter connection from CAPS. CAPS' campaigns in the Los Angeles area also pushed several retailers into switching to a humane business model, on which part of the LA ordinance is based. In an eight-month period, four stores stopped selling puppy mill dogs and began offering animals from shelters and rescue organizations.
"After eight years of investigations and protests, we are satisfied and optimistic about breaking the blood money contracts between puppy mill owners who abuse animals and L.A. pet retailers. This ordinance will relieve mill animals and help save the lives of animals who are killed at Los Angeles Animal Services. The 2011-2012 body count is unacceptable, with 9,056 dogs and 12,061 cats killed in our shelters. We are relieved that finally, the cries of L.A.'s shelter animals have been heard. Puppy mills and cruel pet factories will fade into history at last," said Companion Animal Protection Society West Coast Director Carole Raphaelle Davis.
The legislation is particularly important because it makes LA the largest city in the US and Canada to ban pet stores from selling dogs, cats and rabbits from commercial breeders. CAPS has consistently supplied reliable evidence to cities determined to stop puppy mills from selling dogs to their communities. Our West Hollywood, California ordinance banning the sale of pet shop puppies and kittens received worldwide media coverage and was the genesis for the now growing ordinance movement in both this country and Canada.
There are ordinances banning the sale of pet shop puppies and kittens in California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, Texas and Canada. We assisted with the by-law in Richmond, British Columbia, which was the inspiration for the recently passed by-law in Toronto. CAPS also worked with Legislator Jon Cooper in Suffolk County before he withdrew his proposed ordinance due to state preemption, which CAPS is now trying to get removed from the state lemon law.
The West Hollywood ordinance, which passed in February of 2010, was possible because of the relentless work of the CAPS West Cost team, which submitted CAPS undercover investigation of the local pet shop and the atrocious Wensmann puppy mill in Minnesota that supplied this pet shop. CAPS was subsequently involved with getting pet shop ordinances passed in Glendale and Irvine, Calif. CAPS was recently involved in getting the first pet shop ordinance passed in Illinois and is working on other municipalities in the Chicago area. Sarasota County, which has three pet shops, is also on the agenda.
The LA ban was introduced by Councilman Paul Koretz, a West Hollywood Council member from 2000 to 2006 and a longtime supporter of animal rights. The measure will give a much needed boost to the overburdened municipal shelter system, which currently has thousands of pets ready for adoption.
"Finally, an end to rabbits bred in cruel pet factories who are then trucked to unscrupulous retail animal dealers here in L.A., only to live out their sad lives in a cage. We have high hopes that consumers will now gladly turn to the shelters to adopt homeless and sterilized rabbits," said President of Bunny World Foundation Lejla Hadzimuratovic.

The majority of Western parents may still be skeptical when it comes to considering ready-made meals for their children. Just for Kids packaging diminishes any misgivings about this product line in particular by wrapping the items up in a healthy bundle of playfulness and practicality.
Elmwood of England decorated the boxes with adorable illustrations that surround photos of the prepared plates. You'll notice worms, birds and little monsters that seem to have been drawn directly onto the tablecloth in the image. Even the name of the brand appears to have been written and colored in by hand.
Of course, it isn't all about getting the child's approval. To appease the parents, Just for Kids packaging includes a "grown up bit" in the bottom right corner that outlines the nutritious features of the dishes within.

Analysis: Court ruling catches up with rapidly shifting public
June 27, 2013 12:15 AMLOS ANGELES -- When proponents of same-sex marriage decided nearly five years ago to bring their legal battle before the Supreme Court, the decision set off a spasm of anxiety among many gay leaders worried that an adverse ruling would set back a fight that many of them had never really wanted.
But as the Supreme Court issued its last-day-of-court rulings Wednesday, nullifying the federal law that defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman and effectively permitting same-sex marriage in California, what was also clear was just how rapidly much of the nation had moved beyond the court. Rulings that just three years ago would have loomed as polarizing and even stunning instead served to underscore and ratify vast political changes that have taken place.
"Things are dramatically different today," said Chad H. Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign and founder of the gay rights group that brought the case against the California ban. "When we filed this case, there were three states that had marriage equality, there was one Republican official who supported marriage equality, Vice President Cheney, and public support of marriage equality was in the high 30 or low 40s."
Sentiments against gay marriage remain high in many quarters of the country. It is explicitly outlawed in 37 states, which may set the stage for more legislative battles in the years ahead. Opposition to same-sex marriage remains high among social conservatives, and protests of the court's decisions voiced across the nation were a reminder how visceral an issue it remains for some.
"The court got it wrong," the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said in a statement. "The federal government ought to respect the truth that marriage is the union of one man and one woman, even where states fail to do so."
Still, in the years since these cases began winding their way through the courts, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden explicitly endorsed gay marriage -- amid a re-election campaign, no less. Bill Clinton, the president who signed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, later renounced the legislation and called for it to be repealed. A steady stream of senators and members of Congress from both parties voiced their support for gay couples joining in marriage. And same-sex marriage is now legal in 13 states. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., in questioning lawyers during the argument in these cases, noted just how much political support there was for gay marriage.
Gay characters and celebrities have become ever-present in popular culture, on television and, over the past year, in sports and rap music. The news that a popular celebrity wants to marry someone of the same sex, whether Neil Patrick Harris or Ellen DeGeneres, is treated as celebratory news in People magazine rather than scandalous in the National Enquirer. As the court surely noted in its deliberations, public sentiment on the issue has flipped.
The 5-4 decision overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, written by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, was sweeping and hardly technical, an affirmation of same-sex marriage written in broad constitutional terms that produced cheers and even some surprise among same-sex marriage supporters standing in front of the Supreme Court. And though the court declined to hear the California case on procedural grounds, the effect was to let stand a lower-court decision that threw out a voter initiative banning gay marriage in this state.
That means 30 percent of the U.S. population now live in states that allow same-sex marriage.
A striking aspect of the rulings is the extent to which they reflect public opinion. A series of polls suggests that the public wanted the Defense of Marriage Act struck down, and while most Americans now support same-sex marriage, they did not want the court to force states to legalize gay marriages.
"Having the case decided in this current atmosphere, with this tidal wave of support for equality of gay people, certainly helped us," said Theodore J. Boutrous Jr., a lawyer for the California case plaintiffs. "It's a legitimate factor. It came up during the arguments. I think it all broke to our advantage."
The court may have caught up to rather than led public opinion, but that has often been the case over the course of history. This will surely be remembered as a landmark day in the evolution of the gay rights movement, along with passage of the first gay rights legislation in cities such as New York, and Mr. Obama's proclamation of support for same-sex marriage.
The California case was filed despite the worry of some gay leaders that the atmosphere was not conducive to a favorable ruling. "Our concern in May of 2009 is that we didn't yet have those critical masses of public support and states," said Evan Wolfson, executive director of Freedom to Marry. Since that time, he said, the success of gay organizations in winning approval of same-sex marriage statutes had created a markedly different atmosphere. "We had to build those critical masses of states and of public opinion: that is the history of how social rights and justice movements win," he said. "This is how America does its civil rights business. It's not a secret strategy."
Within moments of the decisions being announced, gay leaders were looking forward, hopeful that the imprimatur of a Supreme Court ruling would push the movement to new victories. Mr. Griffin said the next goal was to make same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states within five years. Five states -- Illinois, Hawaii, New Jersey, Nevada and Oregon -- are viewed by proponents as top-tier legislative targets.
"We do have to acknowledge our pace of progress," Mr. Griffin said. "But there's a day of celebration, and then tomorrow we have to work harder."

Diaoyu Islands
The Diaoyu Islands are a group of uninhabited islands located roughly due east of mainland China, northeast of Taiwan, west of Okinawa Island, and north of the southwestern end of the Ryukyu Islands. They are currently controlled by Japan, which calls them Senkaku Islands. Both China and Taiwan claim sovereignty over the islands.
Abe demands apology from Beijing as maritime dispute deepens
Beijing rejects claims that Chinese frigates targeted a Japanese destroyer and helicopter with radar, and accuses Tokyo of 'stirring up crisis'
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe yesterday demanded an apology from China after Beijing accused Tokyo of "hyping up the so-called China threat theory" when it released details of two military incidents that sparked a fresh round of angry exchanges.
Japanese media reported last night that Abe had demanded an apology and said China should prevent similar incidents from happening again, referring to Tokyo's claim that Chinese frigates had targeted a Japanese military helicopter and destroyer with fire-control radar last month. "We want China to acknowledge it, apologise for it and make efforts to prevent it from recurring," Abe told BS Fuji TV station, Jiji Press news agency and Mainichi Daily reported.
Abe made the demand as his deputy foreign minister, Chikao Kawai, summoned China's ambassador to Japan, Cheng Yonghua , to lodge a protest after China's Ministry of National Defence said Tokyo's accusations were "false" and slandered China's military training.
Cheng rejected Tokyo's protest and demanded Japan stop making "irresponsible remarks".
"Tokyo should stop stirring up crisis, creating tensions, fanning confrontation and agitating matters," a statement posted online by the Chinese embassy quoted Cheng as saying.
The Defence Ministry in Beijing remained silent for two days, but said in a statement on Thursday the Chinese vessels had been conducting routine training - without using fire-control radar.
It said the frigate spotted the approaching Japanese military helicopter on January 19 and only used navigation radar. On January 30, the ship-borne radar of the Chinese vessel maintained normal observation because it was closely followed by the Japanese destroyer Yudachi.
Tokyo "recklessly created tension and misled international public opinion", the statement said, adding: "We must be vigilant against and ponder such moves by Japan."
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said Tokyo had used "petty tricks" and "made things out of nothing".
Ni Lexiong , director of the sea power and defence policy research institute at Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, said Beijing's reaction would present Tokyo with a dilemma.
"It is difficult for Tokyo to present evidence to reject the Chinese explanation because it may lead to the leaking of advanced technology Tokyo used to detect the kind of radar used by the Chinese frigates," he said.
Jin Canrong , a professor of international relations at Renmin University, believed Tokyo would use the incident to seek support from Washington, especially as Abe would be visiting the US later this month.

If their own citizens don't trust them, is it not surprising the rest of the world looks upon the Chinese government and rise with deep suspicion?
Denials of locking on their radar to another ship most likely means they did.
Japan should instead apologise to China for illegally purchasing Diaoyu Islands when told by China not to do so, and lying that there never was an agreement between the then leaders of China and Japan in 1972, to shelve the dispute over Senkaku/Diaoyu issue for future generations to solve; and intentionally falsifying the record of the dialogue between Prime Minister Tanaka Kakue and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai on September on the 27th and 28th, 1972 (read the article at ****www.forbes.com/sites/stephenharner/2012/10/03/interview-with-professor-yabuki-on-the-senkakudiaoyu-crisis-and-u-s-china-japan-relations/).
Japan had ignored two WW II treaties, requiring it to return Chinese territories, stolen or taken by violence, to China. That makes Japan, a thief. And adding insult to injury, Japan is now acting like a gangster, in enforcing control over Diaoyu Islands, when it has no legitimate authority, whatsoever.
Japan ought to be ashamed of itself and feel remorse for all the wrongs that it had done in WW2 and now. But that is not the case. And taking a leaf from history on how Japan started the war in Nanking in 1931, it is in my opinion, Japan is now intentionally creating an event to start a war with China. If that is the case, Japan is crusing for bruising.
