If I had to pick out two people to sum up luxury fashion (or at least high fashion), Anna Wintour and Tom Ford take the cake! I have never seen two people dress so elegantly – whether they are at an event, fashion show, or eating lunch! As the last part of this Singer22 fashion dedication post, check out our love for high fashion icons with our Singer22 picks! Anna Wintour is probably the most influential person in fashion – if you like it or not! Her opinion is gold! I mean, have you seen the September Issue? She has an influence on the fashion trends of today, but it does not come easily – they do not call her the Ice Queen for nothing! I love her sharp and witty comments and her ability and courage to tell the truth without cringing. What she is most famous for, however, is her adorable bowl haircut/bob and her love for fur coats! Singer22 has the right dresses and coats for you when you want to feel as powerful as Anna: Funktional Predator Coat, Mackage Military Style Double-Breasted Wool Coat, Boulee Rhiana Long Sleeve Scuba Dress, Alice + Olivia Tatum T-Back Sculpted Sheath Dress, Alice + Olivia Eric Pant, Jeffrey Campbell Peek-A-Boo Shoe, House of Harlow 1960 Pearl Shoe, ROMYGOLD Embossed Croc Silt Tote, Jennifer Zeuner Multicolor Bangles, and Melinda Maria Mary Jane Earrings Tom Ford is an American fashion designer and movie director who is famous for his stint at Gucci and for his ultra-suave tuxedos loved by Hollywood men, including Tom Welling, Colin Firth, and Brad Pitt. But, did you know he is very picky on celebrities who wear his clothes? He actually waits for Oscar nominations and he picks ONE celeb to wear his sharp collection on the Red Carpet. Here's to the stylish man! Take note gentlemen, Tom Ford is here to give you tips on how to dress! Okay, well Singer22 is here to share our picks for dressing a la Tom Ford: Nudie Jeans Slim Jim Jeans, J Brand Walker Relaxed Straight Leg, Vince Varsity Style Snapfront Wool Jacket, the same guy Short Sleeve Pigment Wash Polo, Steven Alan Reverse Seam Inside Pocket Long Sleeve Shirt, Vince V-Neck Cashmere Sweater, and Vince V-Neck Jersey Tee That is the end of the fashion icons series!

Day 5 - Route 66 Day 1
It was a dull and cold start to the our Route 66 journey, but at least it was dry (for the moment). We were up early, and after breakfast hit the road at 8:47am heading towards the official start of Route 66 on Adams Street.

The rest of the trip passed quickly, and our drive was heralded with strong winds and bouts of heavy rain. Towards the end of our drive, we crossed over the Mississippi river and felt a sense of calm and peace that we had made it all in one piece. After such a dynamic day, the big, wide river felt like a peaceful anchor. :) Once in the hotel, ...
A Day About Lincoln
... Everything was so well done--the movies, the scenes, the artifacts. It was probably one of the best museums I've ever been to.
Then we got on Route 66 and headed towards St. Louis. Along the way we saw some really cool giant signs.
We arrived in St. Louis around 5:00, found a room close to the arch, and then went to supper ...

We plan to stay around here tomorrow and will probably head down I-55 Sunday.

Opening Reception: April 2 | 6-8PM
Existe lo que Tiene Nombre: Contemporary Photography in Mexico, an exhibition guest-curated by Sergio de la Torre and Javier Ramírez Limón, features the diverse work of 22 contemporary Mexican photographers, both emerging and established. Addressing the question of how photos influence our understanding of reality, photographers in this exhibition explore the central issue surrounding photographic representation of the subject. The complete portfolio of artwork from Existe lo que Tiene Nombre is co-presented by Galería de la Raza and San Francisco Camerawork.
About the Artist:
Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, a native of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Tatyana Fazlalizadeh's work moves effortlessly between the street and the gallery. Whether using printers and wheat paste or oil paint on canvas, Fazlalizadeh adds her imagery to a national and international dialogue about conflict in public spaces, such as police violence against black people, the Arab Spring uprisings, or sexual violence against women.
Are you holding inside pent-up emotions about a fast transforming community landscape, evictions, police brutality... do you have powerful stories to share and just can't find the way to get them out... or have you been thinking about performing for a long time and never quite found the time or resources to do it...?
The online publication includes essays by Tere Romo, Tomás Ybarra-Frausto, and an extensive chronology of Galería's 40-year history.

Chinese ships sail through disputed waters: Japan coastguard
Published on Feb 2, 2014 11:44 AM
TOKYO (AFP) - Chinese ships sailed through disputed waters off Tokyo-controlled islands on Sunday as diplomatic tension between Tokyo and Beijing intensifies.
Three Chinese coastguard vessels entered the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters off one of the Senkakus, which China claims and calls the Diaoyus, at about 10am (9am Singapore time), Japan's coastguard said.
It came days after a diplomatic battle over Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to a contested war shrine reached the UN Security Council, with China and Japan accusing each other of threatening stability.
China's UN ambassador, Liu Jieyi, seized upon a debate on the lessons of conflict to slam Abe for going to the Yasukuni Shrine, which honours war criminals among the country's war dead.

Rusty Revelations
by Lorraine A. DarConte
March 01, 2011 — "The light in Tucson is incredible," photographer Juliya Lezhen says. "There was hardly ever a cloudy day, so I never needed to use a flash or other artificial light. Every day I would go out and photograph something." That "something" for her has been metal, mostly of the rusting, peeling and decaying variety. "I started noticing little details and imperfections on metal, and so I concentrated on photographing these flaws up close and personal. I find the process of deterioration and erosion intriguing," she notes. "Neglected, discarded and antiqued objects can be found almost anywhere, and because they're exposed to the elements, they are changing every day. Most of these things no one pays any attention to. They're just part of our everyday lives. But I discovered, while looking through the camera lens at a tiny portion of peeling paint, a whole new world created by bright colors and beautiful light."

Taking it up a couple of notches
I've been a competent intermediate level sewer for several years now. I take classes now and then at a local community college: draping, fit, pattern grading, tailoring, the like. But I am still pretty much unsatisfied with my performance. I want to make wonderful clothes, not merely adequate ones.
After some thought, I've decided that I am willing to travel to take classes from exceptional teachers. I'm looking at Susan Khalje's classes, Linda Maynard's classes, and possibly Claire Schaeffer, who I understand offers a yearly class in Palm Springs. Has anyone taken some of these classes? Can you recommend these or other couture-level sewing teachers?
Please share your experiences and recommendations with me.
The key to the "hand-made in Paris" look on the outside is a lot of hand detailing, seam basting, lining, interlining, interfacing, hand finishing seams, and meticulous pressing at every stage of construction on the inside.
If you don't have it, find a copy of the 1970s Vogue Sewing Book. It shows how to do things like graded seams, rolled collar seams, rolled hems, floating linings, corded buttonholes, and all the other expen$ive detailing.
And sew a lot of clothes. My SIL was a couture-level seamstress, and she made 2 or 3 items a week. She learned from her mom, who had learned in Paris from her landlady who had been a seamstress for one of the smaller design houses.
When I want to make a couture-level item, I make a couple of them in less expensive fabrics of the same weight before making the real thing. That way I have the fit perfected and the bugs worked out of the construction process.
Check out Kenneth King.
I took a wonderful moulage class from him years ago at our community college. He is a multitalented expert as well as an excellent teacher. He generously shares his knowledge. He wants you to understand and learn. I think he is great.
At your level of sewing I think you would really appreciate what he has to offer.
I have his "Designer Techniques" book. His instructions and illustrations are thorough and clear.
Here is a link.
Here is a link that might be useful: Kenneth King
Deb3, thanks. I actually have taken a couple of classes from Kenneth D. King. I took them a bit early in my sewing education and with weaker skills only got part of the benefit I would get now, I think. Nonetheless, the classes were inspirational. (I think it possible that you may live near me. He's in NY now, but for many years taught near SF.)
Soonergrandmom, thanks also. I have the idea that Claire Schaeffer must be a wonderful teacher, and I hope to take a class with her someday.

KOSIOR: Nellie Kosior (née Lamb) March 3, 1936-February 27, 2015The saddest moment is when the person who gave you the best memories, becomes a memory.On February 27, 2015, only three days before her 79th birthday, Nellie peacefully left this earth with her family by her side. She was predeceased by her father Mike Lamb, mother Anne Lamb, infant son Stefan, brother Richard (Dick) Lamb, brothers-in-law Charlie (McKay) and Frank (Kwiatkowski). Nellie is survived by three sisters, Eva McKay (Charlie), Vergie Kokorudz (Stanley), Marlene Gerelus (Bill) and sisters-in-law Maureen Lamb and Cecile Kwiatkowski. She leaves to mourn her husband Joseph of 57 years, children Jake (Irene), Walter, Charlene (Wayne) and Lisa. She also leaves five grandchildren, Leslie, Stefan, Kathleen, Olivia and Avery along with three great-grandchildren, Kaleigh, Joseph and Emberlynn. She had many cherished nieces and nephews. Nellie was born on the Lamb family homestead near Oakburn, Manitoba and attended Rogers Elementary School in Oakburn. Before the days of television and internet, Nellie and her siblings spent evenings together dancing to the tune of fathers fiddle at the farm. At the age of fifteen, Nellie went with Eva to the big city of Brandon, Manitoba to work at the Brandon Packers Plant. Together, they lived in a small apartment on 2nd Street in Brandon and spent weekends dancing at the Palladium on Rosser Avenue. Nellie was very musically inclined playing the accordion, violin and piano with accordion lessons during weekday evenings. Nellie met her husband Joe on a blind date where he took her to the 1957 New Years Eve Dinner and Dance at the Sokol Hall, and after a whirlwind romance, they were married only six months later on June 15, 1957. Together, they built a house and raised a family at 1834 McDonald Avenue in Brandons North End. She was an active member of the Polish National Catholic Church and also the Sokol Hall. It was here that she made some of her closest friendships and had some of the best times of her life. For the first fifteen years of her married life, Nellie managed the family household and her four children. As the children got older, Nellie took on the role of administrator and book-keeper for the family business, Aurora Video and Audio until her passing. While Nellie and Joe spent many summers at the cottage in Clear Lake, Manitoba and 31 winters at the family home in Weslaco, Texas, they also travelled extensively together to destinations in the Caribbean Europe, South America and the United States. Nellies hobbies included her rose and vegetable garden in Brandon and tending the grapefruit tree in Weslaco, Texas. She had amazing pickling and canning skills and we will remember many tireless evenings of Nellie working late into the night until the job was done. She was a master in the kitchen and could warm a hungry heart with not only her cooking, but her genuine compassion for her friends and family. She was well known in the VLT lounges and could light up any room as soon as she walked in. But, nothing could light Nellie up quicker than the love of her Joe, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Nellie will be especially remembered for her quick wit and humor, perhaps responding too quickly and getting her words mixed up, but once she realized what she said, it was fun to all be in on the joke. Nellie touched the lives of many people with her smile and generosity, and maintained her trademark sense of humor all the way to the end.
Whenever we feel sad because we miss you, we will try and remember how lucky we are to have someone so special to miss.Evening Prayers will be held on Wednesday, March 4 at 7:00 p.m. at Brockie Donovan Funeral Home, 332-8th Street, Brandon, Manitoba. Nellies Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, March 5 at 11:00 a.m. at the Brockie Donovan Chapel with interment at the Brandon Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Westman Dreams for Kids Foundation, 2-37, 11th Street, Brandon, MB R7A 4J2.

She sang in the United Church Choir and the Village Choir. She enjoyed lawn bowling and going on bus tours and family holidays.

In 2004, Marg moved to the Princess Lodge and in 2012, she moved to the Elkwood Manor in Elkhorn. Marg's love for her family was evident. She was always optimistic, looking for the silver lining in every cloud. She was strong and independent. She loved to help others, keep busy, and "be useful".

CANBY: Joan Isabel (nee Breadner) 1936 - 2015 - After a brief illness, in her 78th year, Joan passed away at St Joseph's Hospital Hamilton on February 25, 2015 with her children at her side. Joan was born in 1936 in Dauphin, Manitoba to Leslie and Effie (nee Cherry) Breadner. She is described by her surviving brother Bill Breadner as her father's pride and joy. Her studies were her great passion in life, leading her to pursue a career in medicine, the only woman in the Class of 1960, Faculty of Medicine, at the University of Manitoba. After graduation and completing a general internship, she undertook specialty training in pediatrics at the Hospital for Sick Children. It was in Toronto that she met her future husband, Eugene Canby. Her pediatric practice brought her to Hamilton, where she worked for 20 years at the Chedoke-McMaster Hospital, and became involved with teaching in the early years of the medical school at McMaster. Joan is survived by Eugene and her two children Laura (Andrew) Howlett and Charles Canby, and two grandchildren Emma and Anne Howlett. She was a feminist and social activist. Joan had a great love of music, which she inherited from her mother. Music was a source of comfort, particularly during her long struggle with the chronic mental health issues which made her final years so difficult. The family would like to extend their thanks to the caregivers at the Durand Retirement Residence and the Meadows Long Term Care Centre, her psychiatrists, and the ER and ICU teams at St. Joseph's Hospital. She will be missed. A memorial service will take place on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Westdale United Church in Hamilton, Ontario.

COLLYER: Judy Ann Collyer (née McNeill) passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Tuesday, February 24, 2015 at the Brandon Regional Health Centre after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born May 30, 1951 in Brandon, Manitoba. After relocating to several places in early childhood, Judys family moved to Brandon for her high school years. It was during her years at Vincent Massey that she established many lifelong friendships. After high school, Judy went to school during the day, worked in the evenings, and raised her two young sons. She became a Certified General Accountant in 1984, and received her Fellowship in 1999. She had a successful career as an accountant and partner with D.A. Sullivan and Associates, Evancic Perrault Robertson and Duncan Sabine Collyer for over 25 years until her retirement in 2012.

CAMPBELL: Tory Albert. March 26, 1993 - January 31, 2015. It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our son and brother, Tory, at the age of 21 years. Tory was born at Brandon General Hospital, a very special 3rd birthday gift for his brother Jordan. Tory lived his life on an acreage outside of Brandon, where he enjoyed many hours of freedom, from building forts, riding bikes, golf carts, skidoos and tractors, to helping out with the chores of country living! Tory attended Fleming, Earl Oxford and Crocus Plains graduating in 2011. While attending high school he had the opportunity to travel to Chicago with the Crocus Plains hockey team and also to Italy and Greece with the Design and Drafting program at Crocus. It was in Italy that Tory celebrated his 18th birthday. He continued his education at ACC and graduated in 2014 with a diploma in Civil Technology specializing in Municipal Engineering. He was employed with the City of Brandon Engineering Dept. during the summers while attending school and remained employed with them until his passing. Tory played many sports: soccer, golf, field hockey and racquet ball, but his love was hockey. He played minor hockey all through his school years and the family all made some wonderful friends. Tory was honoured to have received the Ken Klassen Memorial award in 2011 from Hockey Brandon. He played with his brothers and friends in summer hockey leagues and also recently joined his friends in a fun recreation league. Tory was a true and dedicated Toronto Maple Leafs fan from an early age! He was able to go and watch the Leafs play in Winnipeg a few times with the most recent being in January. He had the opportunity to meet Ron MacLean just prior to his passing, where he told Tory to keep the faith as he was wearing his Leafs hat! Tory had his picture taken and obtained autographs for himself and his brothers. Another great source of joy for Tory, was his car, like his bedroom, it had Maple Leaf mementos everywhere! Tory enjoyed spending many years at the family cabin at Ditch Lake, where he recently purchased a place of his own. Many family memories were made at the lake where he learned how to walk, ski, drive a boat, and enjoyed tubing with his brothers, friends and family. We travelled as a family to Nova Scotia, Disney World, and Mexico where we all experienced ziplining and swimming through caves. We also travelled to Banff where Tory had the chance to ski in the mountains. There were also many trips around the province and beyond with all the boys for the game of hockey! A time that his dad holds precious, are the fly-in fishing trips to Bamaji Lake. Tory enjoyed spending time with friends at the lake, having them out to our family home for bonfires and going to Countryfest where he saw Luke Bryan perform. He was a huge fan! Tory was a gentle and kind friend to many with a "heart of gold", so it is unfortunate that his heart failed him, taking Tory from us much too soon. Left to cherish his memory are his parents Ken and Teresa, brothers Jordan (Rhyleigh) and Layne (Keirra). He is also survived by his grandparents Ron Telford and Bonnie Alderson of Portage, Bonnie Wark and Bob Mowbray and Audrey Campbell, all of Brandon, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins. Tory was predeceased by his great grandparents, Albert Wark, and the ones that were fortunate to have been part of his life, Tom and Audrey Telford and Doris Wark. He was also predeceased by his grandpa Colin Campbell. A Ceremony to Celebrate Tory's life was held on Friday, February 6, 2015 at Central United Church with Mr. Mike Waddell officiating. The urn bearer was Tory's Mom, carrying him out to his waiting car, for one final ride with his brothers. If friends so desire, donations in Tory's memory may be made to Westman Dreams for Kids, Unit 2-37-11th Street, Brandon, Manitoba, R7A 4J2 or the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 3 - 824 - 18th Street, Brandon, Manitoba, R7A 5B7 or to a special charity of one's choice.

The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club, but we must. We live in extraordinary times, and the battle at the heart of it all isn't good versus evil, or growth versus value, or even cyclicals versus defensives, but the long-running brawl between asset deflation and central-bank reflation.
Sidelined spectators can be forgiven for feeling confused about who's winning, with stocks rallying but commodities plunging and bond yields wilting. Jobless claims shrank last week toward a five-year low, and our economy has expanded for 15 straight quarters. But last quarter's 2.5% annualized growth rate was below the 3.2% economists expected, and we're living through the longest stretch of years with sub-3% expansion since the Great Depression, all of which gives central bankers license to keep printing money.
With such abundant liquidity but scarce growth, what's an investor to do? There is no comfortable answer. "To get more positive on bonds in 2013, we would need a recession," write Bank of America Merrill Lynch's investment strategists. "To get more positive on commodities, we would need inflation." Neither seems likely just yet. So with Europe's recession deepening, China's rabid growth slowing, and U.S. investors fretting about a short-term pause, it's no wonder that the crowd is piling into defensive, high-yielding U.S. stocks.
As a result, these aren't the havens they once were, with sectors like consumer staples fetching their richest valuations of this bull run. Last week, defensive bellwethers like Procter & Gamble PG -0.9429400386847195% Procter & Gamble Co.

Yet both rallied.
While earlier rounds of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing levitated raw-material prices, the latest bout hasn't had quite the same effect -- with metals and oil near 2013 lows. Lower commodity costs can help stocks and bonds, because they increase consumers' spending power and ease inflation pressure, BofA Merrill Lynch argues.
Meanwhile, keep an eye on real-estate and bank stocks, which are barometers of whether central banks are winning the fight.
UNLIKE THEIR PEERS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, biotechnology stocks lately have had no trouble winning fans. After going nowhere for more than a decade, biotechs have shimmied up 111% over the past two years -- three times better than even the gains for the beloved health-care sector.
What accounts for their new glow, and can it last?
Adam Parker, Morgan Stanley's U.S. equity strategist, thinks that investors are once again becoming more willing to reward research and development. For years, money plunked into drug research didn't pay off, and valuations of companies engaged in R&D were punished because they were viewed as destroying shareholder value. Today, however, Parker counts fewer than 20 companies globally with market caps of more than $30 billion that do any health-care research. "Ten years ago, the human genome could barely be decoded. Ten years from now, one can guess that it will be done for pennies, nearly instantaneously," he writes. "We could be witnessing a substantial re-rating, where instead of a discount on R&D being embedded in health-care stocks, a premium could ultimately be awarded for the potential option value of curing a disease."
Once upon a time, R&D focused on chemicals that led to blockbuster drugs like Lipitor and Plavix. By the late 1990s, the focus had shifted to genomics and the study of encoded genetic instructions. A decade later, these endeavors are starting to pay off in the treatment of everything from cancer to autoimmune disorders. Biotech firms' profits are rising more than 20% a year, and in 2012, our regulators approved the most drugs in the past 16 years.
Mark Schoenebaum, ISI's biotech and pharma analyst, thinks R&D productivity has become a driver of earnings growth. "If you think we're in the early days of an R&D renaissance, then most of these stocks have a long way to go," he writes. He remains wary of ascribing too much value to treatments before the latter stages of clinical trials (say, Phase 3), and acknowledges that luck plays a part in R&D productivity, but he says recent successes may lead us to "reasonably conclude that we're in a new normal."

Photo: NYC Council Members Corey Johnson and Elizabeth Crowley, who spearheaded this legislation, flank ASPCA President and CEO Matthew Bershadker as he speaks at this morning's rally in support of stronger pet store regulations.
We couldn't be more thrilled to share the news that the New York City Council today voted in favor of Introductions 55-A, 136-A and 146-A, legislation to regulate city pet stores that sell puppies. Certain provisions of the bills will take effect as soon as January.
These measures are designed to prevent pet stores in New York City from obtaining puppies from some of the most unscrupulous puppy breeders—a.k.a. puppy mills—in the nation. Pet stores will also be required to disclose information to customers about the origins of the animals they sell, as well as to spay/neuter and microchip dogs and cats (and license dogs) before selling them. This multi-pronged approach will protect animals from exploitation and suffering and help arm consumers with the information they need to make smart choices about bringing new pets into their homes.
Our deepest thanks go out to the New York City members of our ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, who emailed and called their councilmembers in support of these measures. To learn more about the puppy mill industry and its connection to pet stores that sell animals, please visit nopetstorepuppies.com.

Like many, we've been watching the situation in Moreauville, Louisiana, where a local "vicious dog" ordinance threatened the lives of innocent pit bulls and Rottweilers—including one serving as a loyal therapy dog for O'Hara Owen and her family. We're relieved to hear local leaders say they have repealed the unjust law.
The ASPCA has long opposed legislation that targets specific breeds of dogs, because all dogs need to be judged on the merits of their individual behavior, not stereotyped based on misperceptions about their breed. Fortunately, many state legislatures agree. Currently, there are no state-level laws that discriminate against certain dog breeds, though a number of cities and municipalities do have breed-specific laws in place. Eighteen states have taken the extra step to ban breed-specific legislation altogether.
When safety is a community issue, we support laws that focus not on breed but on individual dog behavior, including those prohibiting prolonged chaining and tethering.
But behind this unfair law and its nearly tragic consequences is another story that's just as important: the story of how a community's voice—whether it's a geographical community or one united by common values—can create meaningful change, save lives, and reverse something as seemingly untouchable as established law.
We applaud local decision-makers for listening, and extend our services to help craft new ordinance language that will offer the intended protections to Moreauville while avoiding the tragic pitfalls of breed-specific legislation.
This ordinance—and the fate of Moreauville pets—only got a second look when individual voices online, and later, news media brought it to light. As a result, our culture is a little more humane and a little more civilized today than it was yesterday. That may sound like a tiny difference to some, but to families like the Owens and to those of us dedicated to this cause, it's life-changing.

There's no denying that puppies and kittens are hard to resist—just see the reactions to our recent graduation ceremony at the ASPCA Kitten Nursery. But two other undeniable truths deserve even more of our attention: First, older shelter animals are just as loving, loyal and delightful as young ones. Second, senior animals are typically the last to be adopted and the first to be euthanized.
This is why Adopt a Senior Pet Month is so important. Every shelter has older dogs or cats in its care, but stigmas often deprive these animals of the right to be fairly considered.
Some adopters hesitate because they believe older pets are less likely to bond with new owners—this is not the case. While many senior animals have spent years or decades with previous owners, age is not a determining factor in an animal's affection toward new owners or his/her ability to bond with them at any point. In fact, owners often easily form bonds with older pets due to the animals' typically calmer dispositions, their familiarity with home environments, their experience dealing with other animals, and previous training.
Other myths about older pets include them being sick, unfriendly, dirty, and unsafe around young children. But none of that can be assumed any more than one would assume it with a newborn pet. Your local shelter or rescue group will be in the best position to assess potential matches, so be sure to ask lots of questions.
Beyond the misconceptions, there are clear benefits to adopting a senior pet. For starters, their behavior is more predictable because their personalities are already well developed. You'll also know their full-grown size and activity level, and how that might affect your lifestyle.
Senior pets are also easier to train and require less monitoring than puppies or kittens, who sometimes can't distinguish between a safe situation and a dangerous one. It's nice to adopt a dog who likely knows what "no" means.
Additionally, senior animals won't have teething issues and will come into your life already house-trained, meaning they're less likely to cause destruction in your home—especially if you're away for long periods. Older pets are also more accustomed to the predictable daytime and nighttime patterns of humans.
Organizations like Susie's Senior Dogs, Muttville, and The Grey Muzzle Organization work hard to promote senior animals who are at increased risk of euthanasia, but you can play a crucial part by adopting one yourself, as well as by encouraging friends, family and colleagues to do the same. When you adopt an older pet, you're not only bringing incredible joy into your home, but rescuing an animal that's very close to peril.
Some inspiring senior success stories include Marnie, a senior Shih Tzu found abandoned and later adopted in 2012; and Arabelle, a senior pit bull rescued from a massive dog fighting operation we helped dismantle in 2013. Both of these dogs were adopted despite these deeply held misperceptions, and each brought as much love, enjoyment, and loyalty into their new homes as would an animal of any age.

One of the most remarkable things about animal advocacy is that, while our mission has never been more urgent, the opportunity to create substantial and lasting change has never been more obtainable.
Whether you represent an organization with strong support and national reach like the ASPCA, or are simply in a position to make a difference locally, every effort has a life-saving impact.
Last week, we recognized some of the most remarkable people and animals on the front lines of that effort by bestowing our annual ASPCA Humane Awards. The recipients we honored include incredibly resilient dogs and cats, organizations tackling animal cruelty and transforming communities, a congressional leader who championed compassion like no other, and a child who gave her most valuable gift to animals in need.
Collectively, they open our eyes to not only to the challenges of protecting animals from cruelty, but also, our ability and duty to better their lives, and – as a result – improve our own. I hope these stories are shared and appreciated so that such laudable behavior will one day shift from remarkable acts by dedicated individuals to social norms of our entire culture.
To that end, I share these stories with you now.
ASPCA® Tommy P. Monahan Kid of the Year, Annika Glover
Alabama native Annika Glover, 11, had been battling a cancerous brain tumor for nearly four years. But when she became a participant in the Make-A-Wish program, she put the needs of vulnerable animals ahead of her own. Annika used her one wish to save shelter animals. This wish was granted by the Alabama chapter of Make-A-Wish, which donated $7,000 in Annika's name to the Pets Are Worth Saving (P.A.W.S.) rescue group in Florence, Alabama. With her cancer now in remission, Annika spends much time volunteering at shelter events.
ASPCA® Presidential Service Award recipient, Congressman Jim Moran
When Congressman Jim Moran announced that he would retire at the end of his term in 2014, it became clear that animals would lose a longtime ally in Congress. Moran's unwavering dedication to ending animal cruelty gave a compassionate voice to the voiceless in the halls of Congress. The twelve-term Congressman from Northern Virginia has been one of Capitol Hill's strongest champions for animal welfare, advocating for causes including ending horse slaughter, cracking down on abusive animal fighting, and introducing a bill to phase out animal testing for cosmetics in the United States. As co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, Rep. Moran worked with legislators on both sides of the aisle to create humane, common-sense legislation, ensuring a strong legacy of accomplishments and advocacy that will no doubt inspire other leaders.
Cat of the Year, Studley
Studley the cat was found abandoned and starved along the side of the road in Washington state in 2006. After making a full recovery, Studley became a therapy cat—giving love and comfort to people in need. The only therapy cat in the program out of more than 30 animals in the Providence Animal-Assisted Activities and Therapy program (PAAA/T), Studley has been a regular visitor to the Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, Washington, where's he's offered comfort to patients of all ages since 2007.
Dog of the Year, Jonny Justice
Jonny Justice was one of 49 dogs rescued from unimaginable cruelty as part of the 2007 Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting investigation, resulting in the conviction of NFL quarterback Michael Vick and others.
The ASPCA assisted in the recovery and analysis of forensic evidence from Vick's property, which helped convict him of operating a competitive dog fighting ring, a federal offense that led to prison terms for Vick and three co-defendants. We conducted medical and behavioral evaluations on the rescued dogs, and placed the 48 who were behaviorally fit for rehabilitation with sanctuaries, rescues, foster homes and adopters throughout the country.
The black and white pit bull, who previously had few if any positive interactions with people or other dogs, was given a new life when he was adopted by foster parents in San Francisco. In 2008, Jonny found his true calling as a therapy dog with a particular affection for children, participating in programs where children practice their language skills by reading aloud to him. These days he spends much of his time offering love and support to terminally ill children receiving medical treatment, and inspired a line of plush toys in his image.
ASPCA® Henry Bergh Award recipient, Lori Weise of Downtown Dog Rescue
During her daily commute eighteen years ago to a furniture factory on the edge of Skid Row in Los Angeles, Lori Weise routinely saw stray dogs suffering from terrible abuse and horrific neglect. Inspired to act, Lori and her coworkers created Downtown Dog Rescue, which has evolved into a large volunteer-based animal charity that rescues dogs and assists underserved communities in South East Los Angeles, Watts and Compton. In 2013, Downtown Dog Rescue created the South L.A. Shelter Intervention Program, which provides pet owners resources to keep their pets at home, rather than abandon them or relinquish them to shelters.
ASPCA® Public Service Award recipient, Commissioner William J. Bratton on behalf of the New York City Police Department
In early 2014, the ASPCA initiated a historic and groundbreaking partnership with the NYPD in which the NYPD responds to all animal cruelty complaints city-wide, while the ASPCA provides expanded direct care support for animal cruelty victims. Thanks to the dedication of tens of thousands of NYPD officers—newly-trained and firmly on the case of animal abuse—animal cruelty arrests in the first six months of the program increased nearly 160 percent, and the number of animals rescued and treated by the ASPCA increased 180 percent. This past summer, the NYPD formed the department's first Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad, which will solely focus on serving the abused and neglected animals of the city, making New York City one of the safest places in America for animals.

Renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead once famously said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Mead was talking about improving the world for humans, but it's just as relevant and accurate when we talk about improving the world for animals.
Across the country, animal welfare advocates and shelters are uniting to defy the idea that we can't do more to significantly reduce the need for euthanasia. The truth is we can do better, inspire more, and increase the number of lives we save year in and year out. We must, given the millions of lives still at stake, and so many people who care.
Nowhere is that truth more obvious than in the results of our ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge, which ends a remarkable five-year run this year. Since 2010, hundreds of Challenge contestants have dedicated themselves during June, July, and August to increase their adoption numbers over the previous year. They saved thousands of lives through hard work, creativity, collaboration, and a complete dedication to not only achieving success, but to redefining what's possible.
This summer alone, 50 competing shelters saved 16,789 more lives than they did last summer, which is more than twice the increases we saw when we started in 2010. The overall results are even more staggering. From 2010 to 2014, Challengers saved more than 282,000 lives, an increase of nearly 60,000 cats and dogs, with dozens of animal shelters increasing their adoptions by 100 percent or more compared to previous years.
Saving lives is the most critical part of this program, but the positive effects of community dedication go beyond that. In these engaged cities and towns, local adopters are honored, and animal adoption is celebrated. Effective adoption tactics are shared widely, so that shelters from coast to coast—be they well-resourced or struggling to handle intake—can benefit. In the end, success is not restricted to a single moment for one community or shelter. Instead, seeds are planted well into the future for longstanding commitment across the country.
This is our hope, and this is our expectation. Because if we've learned anything from the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge—and the nearly 300,000 families who opened their hearts and homes to cats and dogs— it's that thoughtful, committed shelters and engaged communities can indeed transform the world.

The On Solid Ground coalition–of which the Western Massachusetts Network to End Homelessness is a member–has released its first report on family homelessness. The report, On Solid Ground: Building Opportunity, Preventing Homelessness, documents the impact of the Commonwealth's housing shortage on families with extremely low incomes, and outlines the components of a preventative approach to family homelessness.
The report makes the following recommendations to increase stability and reduce family homelessness:
On Solid Ground is a cross-sector group of more than 30 partners committed to a research-based approach to increasing housing stability and economic mobility. In preparing this report, On Solid Ground partners looked at factors that contribute to family instability, the gaps in programs meant to serve families with low incomes, the role of federal and state rental subsidy programs, and the interconnectedness of rental assistance, childcare, and employment assistance in increasing family incomes. The paper also looks at how stagnant wages, rising numbers of low wage jobs, and declining supports leave more than 60,000 families living in unstable housing situations and at risk of homelessness. The report demonstrates ways in which the Commonwealth's service delivery system unintentionally limits the ability of families to increase their incomes and economic mobility, keeping people in poverty.
Due to potential snow complications for the unsheltered/street count, the Hampden County and Three-County CoCs have both rescheduled the date for the 2015 point-in-time count to this Thursday, January 29.
This means that HMIS data will be pulled for the night of January 29, non-HMIS providers should submit summary data reports for that night, and the street count will take place that night.
Ben Forman, writing in this week's Gateway Cities Journal:
Last week Governor-elect Baker made a solid play by signing on Chrystal Kornegay to lead the Department of Housing and Community Development. A dynamic affordable housing leader known for persevering through thorny challenges, Kornegay will now shoulder responsibility for addressing family homelessness. Despite dogged attempts by the legislature and the Patrick administration to turn the tide, a growing number of Massachusetts families lack secure housing. Family homelessness is clearly one of the state's most vexing problems. The Governor-elect has pledged to find a fix.
Gateway Cities will be cheering Baker on because they are shouldering a large share of the financial cost that the crisis exacts on communities. The conversion of hotels to de facto homeless shelters means many of these cities are losing out on hotel excise taxes. Even more costly is the expense of transporting homeless students back to schools in the communities where they previously resided, as required by federal law. This leaves Gateway Cities with fewer dollars to serve the many homeless students who opt to enroll in their school districts, adding to the financial strain these high-poverty systems endure.
Sensitive to these concerns, Baker has pledged that his response to homelessness will include reimbursing cities for the costs they incur. Fair compensation would go a long way for mayors and managers struggling to make municipal budgets work, but it is not simply a question of financial self-interest for Gateway Cities. These communities proudly want to serve as launching pads for families fighting to succeed in our Commonwealth's economy. Rather than a quick budgetary fix, what they want most is policy solutions that give families experiencing homeless the greatest shot at achieving sustainable self-sufficiency.
Housing providers argue this means coupling housing support with education, job training, and child care, services that will almost certainly cost more than the additional funding Baker will be able to free up to tackle this problem. Success will inevitably mean making hard choices about the distribution of existing resources. For instance, Baker has suggested time limiting housing resources so that more families have an opportunity to use stable housing as a pathway to economic security. Research suggests that such an approach could provide real benefits by reallocating resources to programs that can improve the life prospects of children. But studies also indicate that imposing time limits may make adults worse off.
Weighing the tradeoffs to make informed choices will mean building DHCD's capacity to assemble and analyze data on outcomes. For a system that expends hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer resources every year, it is essential that we know more than just how many are housed, for how long, and at what cost on a per unit basis. Homelessness has long-term intergenerational consequences as well as multiple consequences for communities most impacted (for example, the high number of students churning through Gateway City classrooms harms both the mobile and the stable learners).
The strength of Governor-elect Baker's campaign was his passion for a government that operates efficiently and gets it right. With a strong team behind him and an issue that begs for a hard-nosed, data-driven approach, family homelessness seems like the right pitch for him to swing big.

The Montana Grizzlies have Derek Dooley's attention.
"You're looking at the winningest program in the last decade, in Division I," the Tennessee Volunteers' second-year coach said this week. "They've won about 15 out of 17 conference championships. It's a program we have a lot of respect for."
The Volunteers of the Southeastern Conference host the Griz, ranked No. 12 in the Football Championship Subdivision, Saturday at 4 p.m. MDT.
"It's a prideful program, they have a lot of good football players and you can't do that much if you don't," Dooley said of the Grizzlies, who are coming off a 7-4 season. "When you watch the film, it's no secret why they've had so much success."
Defensive tackle Malik Jackson echoed his coach and referenced a certain 2007 game that made national headlines.
"This team has a lot of potential to beat us, just like Appalachian State beat Michigan," Jackson said. "This is a very respectable team. If anybody takes this team lightly, they're dead wrong."
Jackson said the Griz can look forward to being treated like the big boys in the SEC.
"We're going to go out there ready to play like they're Alabama," he said.
Jackson doesn't need sound bites to attract attention.
"He's just an incredible player and he's got great size," UM coach Robin Pflugrad said of the 6-foot-5, 270-pounder. "We don't have anybody like that on our defensive line. In one game (against Memphis, last season) he intercepted a bubble screen - which we run - and the running back was right by him and he beat the running back to the end zone."
Jackson was actually dragged down after a 44-yard return, but you get the idea.
"We don't want him to have the football, is the point," Pflugrad said.
Tennessee has a Montana connection of sorts in linebackers coach Peter Sirmon, whose brother David played linebacker on the Grizzlies' 1995 FCS title team.
"I've been to Missoula a bunch of times," Sirmon said Wednesday. "I was a senior in high school (in '95) so I saw a lot of games."
He was also recruited by the Griz but went to Oregon, where he starred ahead of a 7-year NFL career, all with the Tennessee Titans. The Washington native settled in Nashville, and is now near home after stints at Central Washington and Oregon as an assistant.
His Ducks' teammate, Justin Wilcox, is Tennessee's defensive coordinator and helped Sirmon land in Knoxville first as a graduate assistant and then as linebackers' coach.
"That's how this worked out," Sirmon.
In 2008 Sirmon was on the sidelines of Washington-Grizzly Stadium with Central Washington, which lost to the Griz 38-35 on Brody McKnight's 42-yard field goal.
"That was a clutch field goal at the end," he said. "It was obviously a great environment to play a football game, and we tried to give them everything we had and just fell a little bit short."
The forecast calls for a high of 98 degrees in Knoxville on Saturday. It won't be much cooler than that at kickoff, which is at 6 p.m. Eastern time.
"I think we have to play a lot of players in this particular game, and probably the early part of the season," Pflugrad said. "Not only because of not knowing exactly where we are at a few spots, but for the ability to stay fresh.
"That (depth) will be a key issue in the state of Tennessee, with the humidity, the crowd and the excitement."
QUICK KICKS: Tennessee receiver Justin Hunter sported a red non-contact jersey Wednesday, though Dooley said it was precautionary. ... Vols' special teams coach Eric Russell quarterbacked at Spokane Falls Community College and graduated from Idaho. ... The Griz are ranked No. 12 in The Sports Network FCS Top 25, but aren't in Craig Haley's initial playoff bracket. Montana State, Sacramento State and defending champion Eastern Washington are.

Bills' biggest key to success
July, 10, 2014
By Mike Rodak | ESPN.com
What do the Buffalo Bills need to do over the next three seasons to be successful?
It's a question that moved into the spotlight when our ESPN Insider's "Future Power Rankings" were released Friday.
The Bills simply need to win, but winning in the NFL is easier said than done. It requires the right mix of talent, motivation and scheme -- plus a little bit of luck.
The Bills have improved their roster in recent seasons. Compare them player-by-player to their AFC East rivals and they stack up well at most positions. Whether it's been Buddy Nix or Doug Whaley choosing players in the draft, the Bills have unearthed some gems and developed others into quality starters.
The problem area remains at quarterback, where questions linger about EJ Manuel and his potential to lead the Bills into the playoffs. It's hardly "expert" analysis, but if Manuel grows into a franchise quarterback, then the Bills can be successful over the next three seasons.
Yet flexibility, especially at quarterback, could be the Bills' most realistic path to winning. Yes, talent development in the NFL is important, and attempting to groom Manuel into a star helps maintain stability within the organization. It also keeps the team on a steadier path toward success.
But in a high-stakes business like the NFL, knowing when to cut ties and spin the wheel again can often be key. There is an element of luck involved in this league. Keeping options open and showing a willingness to shake things up provides a team with more chances to hit it big.
Success for the Bills in the next three seasons will come with keeping an open mind. If Manuel isn't working out, moving on will be the key to moving forward.

Low crop prices means time is ripe for new forest protection programs
Today, conservation compliance is a U.S. policy between governments and farmers that reward farmers with federal subsidies for good conservation practices on designated vulnerable lands. But economist Clayton Ogg believes it could now be used to save forests in countries like Brazil, China, India, and Indonesia. "The main drivers for deforestation in recent years are high crop prices. However, as crop prices fall to more normal levels, farmers depend very heavily on government subsidies, and the subsidies become the major driver for deforestation," Ogg told mongabay.com.
Just how useful is forest restoration? New study seeks to find out
Across the world, scientists estimate there are about two billion hectares of degraded forestland. In Indonesia alone, 25 million hectares of former logging concessions currently have no management, according to research. A study recently published in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science suggests this may represent an important opportunity for biodiversity conservation through restoration.
New species of monitor lizards found on the black market
Searching the globe for undiscovered species takes biologists to far and remote locations, trekking through exotic locales that may yield a new discovery. However, exploring the black market can also produce results. And this is just the case for Rafe Brown, curator of the University Of Kansas (KU) Biodiversity Institute, during a recent visit to the Philippines.
