"Governor Christie, Fidel Castro, and Hurricane Sandy," a guest post by Stuart Schwartz
In late October, 2012 superstorm Sandy swept up from the Caribbean and pounded the Northeast. The damage was horrendous: 268 dead, $68 billion in property loss, the most expensive disaster in the United States after Hurricane Katrina. The images of President Obama and Republican Governor Christie walking the beaches of New Jersey became an icon of collaboration at a time when the country was frustrated by Washington's seeming deadlock. Obama was swept into office the following month, and Christie's popularity soared in the aftermath. Sandy was not the only reason for these political results, but exit polls confirmed that it was certainly a factor. It was a demonstration that government can effectively provide help in a time of crisis when those in authority do not hold government in contempt, to paraphrase Paul Krugman. It was a message that resonated with large segments of the public.
But Hurricane Sandy had come in the midst of a scientific and political controversies about the effects of climate change on the intensity and frequency of cyclonic storms, and about the nature or role of government in protecting citizens from calamities. The response to Hurricane Sandy revealed the complex and sometimes contradictory responses to these debates. Governor Christie's post-Sandy pleading for Federal aid moved some fellow Republicans to criticize him for "big government" solutions and excessive dependence on Washington, but before Sandy and thereafter on the question of global warming like many of his Republican colleagues he had voiced his own doubts on climate change, and emphasized that he had more immediate problems to solve than to debate such arcane issues. That seemingly "practical" approach contributed to his reelection, and in October of last year in his victory speech, the governor spoke of "the spirit of Sandy," the sense of community and cooperation in problem solving that could become the way he would meet many kinds of political and social challenges.
Unknowingly, Governor Christie was repeating the arguments of Fidel Castro in a similar situation following the disastrous Hurricane Flora of 1963. Flora, the second deadliest storm in the history of the Atlantic had killed about 8,000 people in Haiti and Cuba. Castro at the time, embarrassed by the Missile crisis mobilized all of the institutions of Cuba in the relief effort. Cuba suffered over 1,200 death which was bad enough, but given the dimension of the storm, the government effort was a tremendous success. The successful cooperation and mobilization of society convinced him that this spirit of Flora could become the attitude in which all the country's problems were met. Castro's actions after Flora were used to justify the effectiveness of the Revolution and, in fact, Cuba subsequently became a model for disaster mitigation and preparation, but whatever the immediate political benefits, overtime Castro's speeches also became "greener,"and like many leaders in the Caribbean, he began to emphasize the need to take global warming and the rise of the oceans seriously.
For the most part, that has not been the case in New Jersey. The problem is that separation of practical issues from long-term issues like global warming is short-sighted. In Sandy, for example, the New Jersey Transit Corporation, basing its decision on past experience failed to move its rolling stock to high ground and as a result suffered a loss of a quarter of its trains and $150 million in damages. New York's MTA under Governor Cuomo suffered far less because he had taken climate change as a reality and had taken necessary precautions. Both governors had been handicapped, however, by the fact that FEMA funding had been so reduced prior to Sandy that the shoreline maps of areas of possible flooding of New York and New Jersey were decades out of date.
Castro's experience following hurricane Flora made him an advocate of strong government action in response to natural disasters, but it had also made him responsive to the challenges of environmental change. It remains unclear if Governor Christie who is looking forward to 2016 has learned a similar lesson, and more importantly, if he could make that message appealing to his political party, the leadership of which continues to deny scientific evidence of human caused climate change, or suggests that even if it does exist, there is little that can be done about it. That position combined with a neo-liberal argument for weakening financial support for the public sector, lowering investments in infrastructure, and the dismantling of central authority that has gained much support since the 1980s, and it raises the question for Governor Christie and the rest of us if the "spirit of Sandy" that he so passionately invoked will be enough to confront the challenges of climate change.

Quick Questions for Ian Roulstone and John Norbury, co-authors of Invisible in the Storm
Ian Roulstone (top) and John Norbury (bottom) are authors of Invisible in the Storm: The Role of Mathematics in Understanding Weather and experts on the application of mathematics in meteorology and weather prediction. As we head into hurricane season along the Eastern coast of the United States, we are still not fully recovered from Hurricane Sandy, empty lots still dot the stretch between Seaside and Point Pleasant and in countless other beach communities. But it could have been worse without the advance warning of meteorologists, so we had a few questions about the accuracy of weather prediction and how it can be further refined in the future. Now, on to the questions!
What inspired you to get into this field?
Every day millions of clouds form, grow, and move above us, blown by the restless winds of our ever-changing atmosphere. Sometimes they bring rain and sometimes they bring snow – nearly always in an erratic, non-recurring way. Why should we ever be able to forecast weather three days or a week ahead? How can we possibly forecast climate ten years or more in the future? The secret behind successful forecasting involves a judicious mix of big weather-satellite data, information technology, and meteorology. What inspired us was that mathematics turns out to be crucial to bringing it all together.
Why did you write this book?
Many books describe various types of weather for a general audience. Other books describe the physical science of forecasting for more specialist audiences. But no-one has explained, for a general readership, the ideas behind the successful algorithms of the latest weather and climate apps running on today's supercomputers. Our book describes the achievements and the challenges of modern weather and climate prediction.
There's quite a lot about the history and personalities involved in the development of weather forecasting in your book; why did you consider this aspect important?
When reviewing the historical development of weather science over the past three centuries, we found the role of individuals ploughing their own furrow to be at least as important as that of big government organisations. And those pioneers ranged from essentially self-taught, and often very lonely individuals, to charming and successful prodigies. Is there a lesson here for future research organisation?
"We can use mathematics to warn us of the potential for chaotic behaviour, and this enables us to assess the risks of extreme events." |
Weather forecasts are pretty good for the next day or two, but not infallible: can we hope for significant improvements in forecasting over the next few years?
The successful forecasts of weather events such as the landfall of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey in October 2012, and the St Jude Day storm over southern England in October 2013, both giving nearly a week's warning of the oncoming disaster, give a taste of what is possible. Bigger computers, more satellites and radar observations, and even cleverer algorithms will separate the predictable weather from the unpredictable gust or individual thunderstorm. Further improvements will rely not only on advanced technology, but also, as we explain in our book, on capturing the natural variability of weather using mathematics.
But isn't weather chaotic?
Wind, warmth and rain are all part of weather. But the very winds are themselves tumbling weather about. This feedback of cause and effect, where the "effects help cause the causes", has its origins in both the winds and the rain. Clouds are carried by the wind, and rainfall condensing in clouds releases further heat, which changes the wind. So chaotic feedback can result in unexpected consequences, such as the ice-storm or cloudburst that wasn't mentioned in the forecast. But we can use mathematics to warn us of the potential for chaotic behaviour, and this enables us to assess the risks of extreme events.
Are weather and climate predictions essentially "big data" problems?
We argue no. Weather agencies will continually upgrade their supercomputers, and have a never-ending thirst for weather data, mostly from satellites observing the land and sea. But if all we do is train computer programs by using data, then our forecasting will remain primitive. Scientific ideas formulated with mathematical insight give the edge to intelligent forecasting apps.
So computer prediction relies in various ways on clever mathematics: it gives a language to describe the problem on a machine; it extracts the predictable essence from the weather data; and it selects the predictable future from the surrounding cloud of random uncertainty. This latter point will come to dominate climate prediction, as we untangle the complex interactions of the atmosphere, oceans, ice-caps and life in its many varied forms.
Can climate models produce reliable scenarios for decision-makers?
The models currently used to predict climate change have proved invaluable in attributing trends in global warming to human activity. The physical principles that govern average global temperatures involve the conservation of energy, and these over-arching principles are represented very accurately by the numerical models. But we have to be sure how to validate the predictions: running a model does not, in itself, equate to understanding.
As we explain, although climate prediction is hugely complicated, mathematics helps us separate the predictable phenomena from the unpredictable. Discriminating between the two is important, and it is frequently overlooked when debating the reliability of climate models. Only when we take such factors into account can we – and that includes elected officials – gauge the risks we face from climate change.
What do you hope people will take away from this book?
From government policy and corporate strategy to personal lifestyle choices, we all need to understand the rational basis of weather and climate prediction. Answers to many urgent and pressing environmental questions are far from clear-cut. Predicting the future of our environment is a hugely challenging problem that will not be solved by number-crunching alone. Chaos and the butterfly effect were the buzzwords of the closing decades of the 20th Century. But incomplete and inaccurate data need not be insurmountable obstacles to scientific progress, and mathematics shows us the way forward.

Fun Fact Friday: Thanatosis and Batesian Mimicry (Don't Worry, We'll Explain)
Happy Friday, everybody! It's time for our next installment of Fun Fact Friday, with Arthur V. Evans's latest book, Beetles of Eastern North America.
This week's post is dedicated to (drumroll, please)…the art of playing dead.
Did you know?
Thanatosis, or death feigning, is a behavioral strategy "employed by hide beetles (Trogidae), certain fungus-feeding darkling beetles (tenebrionidae), zopherids (Zopheridae), weevils (Curculionidae), and many others" to avoid becoming a predator's dinner. When these beetles sense danger, they pull their legs and antennae up tightly against their bodies so that they look dead and lifeless to their enemies. These small predators lose interest in the hard, small, and unflinching beetles, and move on to their next target. Pretty cool, huh?
Batesian Mimicry is another tactic to keep from being eaten. In this case, beetles "mimic the appearance or behavior of stinging or distasteful insects," as in the case of the flower-visiting Acmaeodera (Buprestidae), scarabs (Scarabaeidae), and longhorns (Cerambycidae). They all sport fuzzy bodies, bold colors and patterns, and behaviors to make them believable mimics of bees and wasps, and make quick and jerky movements to complete the staging. And believe you, me, neither animals nor humans want to be stung by bees – and so the predators retreat.
We hope you feel informed, and we'll see you next Friday for another great Fun Fact!

Fun Fact Friday: Making Sense of Mandibles
Today's fun fact for Beetles of Eastern North America by Arthur V. Evans takes an inside look at the stag beetle's best accessory: his mandibles. Why do they have them? What do they use them for? Hold tight to find out!
Did you know?
The common name "stag beetle" refers to the large antlerlike mandibles found in some males, such as the giant stag beetle Lucanus elaphus (See middle frame at right). Mandible size within a species is "directly proportionate to the size of the body and regulated by genetic and environmental factors."
Why do they have them?
Males use these oversized mouthparts to fight with rival males over who gets to take the lady beetle to dinner. You can find these beetles in moist habitats where there are plenty of things dying, like a swamp. An area with decomposing wood is the ideal hideaway for these critters, since they drink tree sap and flower nectar, and munch on decaying deciduous and coniferous wood. But that's good new for us: no home damagers here!
Bonus Fact:
The Family Lucanidae supposedly got its name when Pliny the Elder noted that Nigidius (a scholar of the Late Roman Republic and a friend of Cicero) called the stag beetle lucanus after the Italian region of Lucania, where they were turned into amulets for children. The scientific name of Lucanus cervus is the former word, plus cervus, deer.

Celebrate National Honey Bee Day with Noah Wilson-Rich!
Noah Wilson-Rich, Ph.D., author of the upcoming The Bee: A Natural History, will be speaking at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History for National Honey Bee Day on August 16.
Wilson-Rich has been keeping bees on Cape Cod since 2010 and maintains two apiaries in Truro, where he conducts research on experimental vaccines that could potentially improve the health of honey bees. His talk at the museum will focus on this research, as well as the role of bees on Cape Cod and the importance of honey bees in sustainable gardening. He will also discuss his business, the Best Bees Company, a service based in Boston's South End that installs and manages hives for honey bees for businesses and residents of eastern Massachusetts.

Fun Fact Friday: When Beetles Go Rogue
To celebrate the recent publication of Beetles of Eastern North America, Arthur V. Evans's tremendously beautiful and comprehensive guide to all creatures coleopteral, we'll be posting a new "fun fact" about beetles each week. These anecdotes won't be limited to your standard beetle biology; they'll surprise you, make you laugh, and wish that you'd bought the book sooner!
Did you know?
In this week's edition, we're bringing you a story all the way from Los Angeles's Griffith Park. In a rare twist of irony, it seems that the pine tree planted to honor the memory of former Beatles lead guitarist George Harrison has been overrun and subsequently destroyed by beetles of the family Curculionidae.
While the specific type of bark beetle that bested the tree isn't included in the Eastern edition, we won't have to wait very long to solve this entomological enigma; Arthur V. Evans is already hard at work on part two, aptly titled Beetles of Western North America.
So, now you know: if you're looking for a self-sustaining weed-wacker, look no further than the beetles in your backyard!

Quick Questions for Richard Karban, author of How to Do Ecology: A Concise Handbook (Second Edition)
Dr. Richard Karban is a professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis. He is a recipient of the George Mercer Award, presented by the Ecological Society of America for outstanding research (1990) and was a 2010 Fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Dr. Karban received a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Haverford College (1977) and completed his Ph.D. in Ecology at the University of Pennsylvania (1982). He is the recipient of nearly a dozen research grants, whose focuses range from population regulation to plant resistance of insects and pathogens. He is the author of How to Do Ecology: A Concise Handbook (Second Edition).
Now, on to the questions!
PUP: What inspired you to get into your field?
Richard Karban: I grew up in an ugly and dangerous neighborhood in New York City. Natural history and natural areas were highly romanticized in my mind. Being an ecologist seemed like an exciting way to escape this life.
What is the book's most important contribution?
Doing ecological research successfully requires a considerable amount of insider knowledge. We don't teach these tips in academic classes. This book attempts to provide a simple set of guidelines for navigating the process of generating hypotheses, testing them, analyzing your results, and communicating with an interested audience. In my opinion, this is what we should be teaching ecology students, but aren't.
"Indeed, confidence and persistence are the most important attributes that separate successful projects from failures." |
What was the biggest challenge with bringing this book to life?
The biggest challenge getting this book to happen was not allowing myself to get discouraged. I teach a graduate-level course in which each student develops an independent field project. The book started as a series of handouts that I gave my students. Each year, I revised my pile of materials. After a decade or so of revisions, I submitted a manuscript but was told that it was too short and lacked interesting visuals and other tools that would make the material accessible. Okay, so much for that, although I continued to add and tweak the content for my class. My wife, Mikaela Huntzinger, read what I had and convinced me that it would be useful to students; she also volunteered to add figures and boxes. Most of all, she encouraged me not to give up on the thing. Indeed, confidence and persistence are the most important attributes that separate successful projects from failures.
Why did you write this book?
I had a terrible time in grad school. I didn't attend a large research university as an undergrad and I arrived with little sense of how to do research or thrive in an environment that valued research, publications, and grants above all else. Figuring out the culture was a painful process of trial and error. My experiences made me acutely aware of the "game" and made me want to share what I had learned to spare others the same pain.
Who is the main audience?
This book is intended primarily for young ecologists who can use some help posing interesting questions, answering them, and communicating what they find. Undergrads who want to do research and grad students doing a thesis are the two populations who will find the book most useful, although we hope that our colleagues will also get something from it.
How did you come up with the title and cover?
The title is a little presumptuous, but also conveys what we hope to provide in a few clear words – perfect.
The cover reflects my long-standing interest in streams that cut gently through landscapes. The first edition had a photo taken by my collaborator, Kaori Shiojiri, at our field site along Sagehen Creek. This edition features an abstraction of that image that I painted. If we write future editions, they will have further abstractions of that same theme done as a mosaic (Mikaela's favorite medium) or as a stained glass (one of Ian's).

I don't know much about Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand, who has reportedly been named to fill Hillary Clinton's senate seat. But at least David Patterson didn't turn this into a political episode of Dynasty by naming Caroline Kennedy or Andrew Cuomo.
If you missed it, here's how the Washington Post described the Kennedy-Cuomo tussle for the senate seat:
The contest for the prized Senate seat soon turned into a sometimes vicious inter-family squabble, with an added personal dimension of bitterness — Andrew Cuomo was married to Caroline Kennedy's cousin Kerry Kennedy until 2003, when the two had a contentious and public divorce that included tabloid-fueled accusations of infidelity.
Thankfully, the nation has been spared more of that ordeal.

Got approval to test a social media marketing initiative? Here's where you should invest and where to skimp on analytics.
Do a search on a search engine or in your favorite social media sites and you will find many links to valuable advice on how to measure the impact of social media. Articles, columns, blog posts, and books all lay out the strategy and offer blow-by-blow detail of setting goals, defining key engagement metrics, optimizing analytics software packages, developing monitoring programs, building reputation management dashboards, crafting social media workflow solutions, and creating customized reports. There is a growing list of free or cost effective tools to measure social media, but how do you manage company expectations and report on results when what you are measuring is a first trial, you are working with a small budget, or don't have analysts to lean on? Even free tools require expertise and time to learn that may not make sense when you are budget or resource constrained.
Real World Testing
Clearly, there is a chicken-and-egg problem inherent in tracking results in the test case scenario. In order for a test to yield actionable insights, you need to somehow gather those insights. At the end of the test you need to be able to determine whether the effort was beneficial to your business goals and should be funded and continued. But sometimes the scale of the test or the available budget rule out the resources needed to track, analyze, and report on the results. Sometimes you just can't afford to do analytics full out, meeting all the best practices that we rattle off like it makes sense in every case. Sometimes it just doesn't.
Real World Framework and Time Frames
Social media results often take time to build. Any good test needs to gather enough participation and cover enough calendar to allow for reliable trending data. It can't be significantly influenced by seasonality, outside promotions, or other factors that would skew results, unless of course you are testing campaign response or other very specific situations. Expected results and the metrics you track will be heavily influenced by your starting point in social media, your goals, the type of program or campaign you envision, your market scale, your brand strength, and your intended audience demographics.
Once you are confident that the timeframe and other test specifics will yield readable results, then you can safely use your existing analytics frameworks and a little ingenuity to answer the most important questions about the impact of your test. At this point, you want to focus on the highest level indicators - no more or less information than you need to make a go or no go decision on the test.
Test Results Should Be Directional
If you finally get approval for a social media test but don't want to dilute the impact by burdening the budget with lots of tools or analyst consulting fees, there are places you can skimp:
If it sounds simple, it should. I'm a huge believer in the power of effective analytics. Sophisticated programs require sophisticated data collection, analysis, and optimization, but I'm also comfortable with a few indicators when that makes sense and encourages smart testing. The best you are going to get from a short-term social media test is directional information. If the metrics are also directional, that is appropriate and enough information to allow for decision making. Of course, all interactive marketing, including social media, is an ongoing test, optimized regularly against the appropriate level of data. If this is truly a test, then treat it as such and match the right effort level to its measurement.
How many programs have you seen stalled or diminished by an overreaching analytics burden?

unlike healthcare.gov, he is willing to push back the timeline. the original plan was for the end of the year. in spectrum auction would be 2014. wheeler has pushed back to 2015. a new timetable will be voted on. he said "i defined the complexity of this process as being like a rubik's cube. as part of our system, we will check and recheck the software and system components." here is why it is important. sold in blocks for companies like verizon and at&t. it will be key in dealing with more and more mobile traffic. as the delay, on both sides seem to be understanding. a rep from at&t said it needs to be done right and broadcasters like cbs and fox and disney were complaining that agency was rushed. one analyst said it is better to have the systems in place and working on delayed the launch
weather than what was seen with the healthcare.gov. reportedly millions of visitors tried to visit when it went live but only a handful could use it. another way wheeler is doing things differently is either will be a data version. there will be testing. the technology will be demonstrated in a mock auction. one of the big complaints about the exchange was not adequate into to and testing before it launched. >>, god, for over 30 years, -- coming up, for over 30 years iranand israeli -- relations have been strained.

To be helpful is our only aim. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, pp. 88-89 I understand that service is a vital part of recovery but I often wonder, "What can I do?" Simply start with what I have today! I look around to see where there is a need. Are the ashtrays full? Do I have hands and feet to empty them? Suddenly I'm involved! The best speaker may make the worst coffee; the member who's best with newcomers may be unable to read; the one willing to clean up may make a mess of the bank account -- yet every one of these people and jobs is essential to an active group.

I have to stop trying to be so damn perfect and accept the fact that I am not going to be perfect. It's impossible. I put such high expectations on myself that of course I'm destined to fail. High expectations. Well, I can't think my way out of them, so I guess I gotta give them to God, right? In (or in this case, out) they go!

| you got that right. i think that some parts of the program are missed. the BB says in a few places that service to others isnt just in AA, but to those outside of AA as well. we want the world to see what AA has done for us and be of service to poeple, so we hvave to step outside of AA and be of service everywhere.

'Bad Teacher' Lands Late Series Order at CBS
The remake from Hilary Winston becomes the network's sixth comedy addition for 2013-14.
CBS is going to school.
The first-place network has handed out a series order to Hilary Winston's adaptation of Bad Teacher, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Based on the 2011 Cameron Diaz feature, Fringe's Ari Graynor stars as a sexy, foul-mouthed divorcee who becomes a teacher in order to find her next husband. Community's Winston penned the pilot and executive produces alongside Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who penned the screenplay for the film. Sam Hansen, Jimmy Miller and Sara Rodier also exec produce the Sony Pictures Television, CBS Television Studios and Mosaic single-camera comedy.
PHOTOS: CBS' 2013-14 Season: 'Hostages,' 'Intelligence,' 'Mom,' 'Crazy Ones'
Bad Teacher marks CBS' sixth comedy series order for the 2013-14 broadcast season (up from two in 2012-13). It comes at a time when CBS is bulking up on comedy offerings as the network looks to find a replacement for How I Met Your Mother, which will come to an end after its upcoming ninth season.
To that point, CBS is expanding its Thursday lineup to feature two hours of comedy, with Greg Garcia's The Millers and David E. Kelley's Robin Williams-Sarah Michelle Gellar vehicle airing back-to-back following The Big Bang Theory. Chuck Lorre's fourth sitcom, Anna Faris starrer Mom and Tony Shalhoub entry We Are Men will air on Mondays come fall.
For its part, Bad Teacher comes with built-in name recognition, with the feature co-starring Justin Timberlake grossing more than $216 million worldwide. CBS' adaptation also boasts a recognizable cast in co-stars Ryan Hansen (Veronica Mars), David Alan Grier (In Living Color), Sara Gilbert (The Talk, Roseanne) and Kristin Davis (Sex and the City).
STORY: TV Upfronts By the Numbers: Dramas Double, Family Comedies Surge
Producers Eisenberg and Stupnitsky, meanwhile, had three pilots in contention this season with two now moving forward after ABC added Trophy Wife to its schedule. (The duo's adaptation of Pulling was passed over at ABC.) They join a group of eight mega-producers who had two or more shows ordered to series this season, including J.J. Abrams, Howard Gordon, Julie Plec and Bill Lawrence.
CBS also has James Van Der Beek entry Friends With Better Lives on the bench for midseason.
For producer Sony Pictures Television, Bad Teacher marks its eighth sale this season and first to CBS. The studio now has new series set up at all of the Big Four broadcast networks.

There are three veterinarians that are listed in the phone book for the Las Vegas area, yet none of them offer any type of after hour emergency service for sick or wounded pets. During a recent pet emergency, in my efforts to find emergency care, one vet's office phone just rang, one had an answering service but they tell you to go to Santa Fe for services, and the other had a voice mail that indicated that he had a family issue, and was closed the weekend.
The citizens of Las Vegas deserve much better for their loved pets.
A reader thinks the new dog tethering law is terrible because, "the dog guards the home when one is working."
Our two Siberian huskies guard our house and they have never been tied up. We have a fenced-in yard for exercise, but mostly our dogs live in the house where they are warm in winter and cool in summer. They are always in the house when we leave. Good luck to anyone who tries to go past them.
But it's easy to go past tethered yard dogs. They can't get to the thief, now can they?
I am a resident of Las Vegas. I love this town and its people.
Of all the mayors I've experienced, Mayor Alfonso E. Ortiz Jr. has been the best. He has done so much for our community. He is an ethical person with a big heart for our people. His administration has been transparent and his door is always open.
Mayor Ortiz leads with compassion and intelligence, listening to our concerns with an open heart. I don't think most people are aware of all that he has done for our city. Here is a list of just a few of his accomplishments:
Successful democratic governments need people of good character, intelligence and positive energy.
Alfonso E. Ortiz Jr. possesses these qualities and more.
The city of Las Vegas has benefited from his no-nonsense approach to city issues on numerous occasions. His recent executive order regarding the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce was the correct response to touchy issue that needed action.
The extremely important water issue has been at the forefront during his tenure. I believe it will continue to be high on his to-do list if re-elected.
When Neo was a puppy, his owner placed a collar on his neck, fastened it to a chain and ignored him. When rescuers brought Neo to the veterinarian several months later, the outlook did not look good. Neo was starving. The owner who kept Neo as a "guard dog" never bothered to adjust his collar, which became deeply embedded in his neck and started to crush his trachea. Neo was dying.
If Neo's story were unique, it would be a shocking example of cruelty.
The tragedy of the young man and his mother hit on Williams Drive was not so much "avoidable" as it was inevitable. My husband and I saw them all the time, never using the sidewalks that millions have been spent on in Las Vegas, and once even going down the center of the left-turn lane on Seventh, after dark and in dark clothing.
I read the last plans on the Mora County Complex building, and I was wondering exactly how the $2.6 million had been spent.
I recall that while I was in office several of us went to Santa Fe to ask for money for a new courthouse, and we were given $1 million.
There was also supposed to be a percentage of the $2.6 million to go to the arts. It was my dream that with that percentage a memorial dome would be erected to honor all those who served in the Armed Forces and went missing in action or were killed in the different wars.
The Optic's Feb. 14 article, "Six candidates favor Dodge," quotes Ward 3 Council candidate and Highlands Foundation board member Joe McCaffrey as saying that "... the Highlands Foundation is investing $200,000 to start a brewery here, something that will create jobs." All well and good, but considering the area's dire water situation, I found McCaffrey's suggestion to be really out of touch with the realities of Las Vegas.
As far as I understand, now they want to pass a law, where one cannot have a tied dog without being physically present with him, or close to him! They apparently do not know that the dog guards the home, when one is working or wherever.
Perhaps those who pass such laws have never had their homes robbed?
They must be like those on TV who push buttons for their home security systems. For those who are poor, and work, this law will be very difficult.
My family and I want to acknowledge the emergency room staff at our local hospital that were on duty Friday, Jan. 6, at about 10:30 p.m. when my husband (Kim Kirkpatrick) arrived with shortness of breath.
