J. Presley Significant differences in total and leachable concentrations of some metals were observed between Mississippi River suspended matter and Gulf of Mexico sediments. These variations are related tc diversity in Gulf sediment redox conditions, accumulation rates and grain-size distribution. Suspended particulates transport >90% of the Mississippi River metal load, hydrous oxides and aluminosilicate lattices are the primary phases of particulate metal transport. In general, total and leachable metal concentrations in river suspended matter are seasonally and spatially uniform. During low river flow, an eight-fold increase in the organic content of the suspended matter brought about a. decrease in particulate Fe and A1 values and a marked increase in Mn, Zn, Cu and Cd concentrations. Average Si02, AI2O3 and K2O concentrations in Mississippi River particulates are similar to crustal abundances. Particulate Na20, CaO and MgO values are 60-80% below crustal levels; however a high river dissolved load of these elements offsets the low particulate levels. No significant change in the total or leachable heavy metal concentrations of river suspended matter was found across the freshwater-seawater interface. Mississippi Delta sediments have 20-^0% lower Mn, Cu, Co, Ni and Zn concentrations and metal/Al ratios than river particulates which is the direct result of a decrease in oxide-phase metal content. Iron, Cr, V and A1 concentrations and grain-size distribution in suspended matter and sediments are similar. Lead and Cd concentrations in delta sediments are 70 and 200% respectively above natural levels. The onset of this Pb and Cd pollutant input is traced to the late 1800's. Reducing conditions in delta sediments induce a loss of oxide- phase Mn, Fe and perhaps other metals via reduction-diffusion. Interstitial water Mn gradients,, in particular, support such a mechanism. Calculated fluxes of dissolved Mn from the sediments to the overlying seawater range from 200 to >1000 yg Mn cm ^ y ^. This process occurs over at least 1000 km of the delta where sedimentation rates are >0.5 g cm ^ y ^ as determined by Pb-210 dating (SMOKES, 1976). Gulf of Mexico outer shelf and slope sediments which accumulate at <0.5 g cm ^ y ^ are characterized by surficial Mn-rich zones (2000-8000 yg Mn/g) and complementary interstitial Mn profiles. Manganese, Cu, Co and Ni concentrations are high in deep Gulf sediments relative to river particulates. Observed metal enrichment is most striking in the strictly pelagic Sigsbee Knoll sediment where Cu, Co and Ni concentrations (ratioed to Al) are '^50% above river particulate levels and Mn concentrations are almost triple river values. Little change in average Fe, Zn, Pb, Cr, and V concentrations occurs between nearshore and abyssal environments. Evidence of post-depositional remobilization of Mn, and to a lesser degree Ni, Fe, Cu and Co, is found throughout the deep Gulf. For example, surface layers of 1.5% Mn show up in slope cores. In abyssal areas, metal maxima are found at depth as a relict of past environmental conditions. 1977-01-01T00:00:00Z The Role of Nitric Oxide Signaling in Learning-Induced Behavioral Plasticity and Neural Circuit Dynamics in the Sea Hare Aplysia californica http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/153676 The Role of Nitric Oxide Signaling in Learning-Induced Behavioral Plasticity and Neural Circuit Dynamics in the Sea Hare Aplysia californica Animals constantly regulate their behaviors in response to environmental stimuli. These adjustments involve an active and dynamic balance between defensive and non-defensive behaviors, and underlying each change are the fundamental alterations within the neural circuits that form the cellular bases for those behaviors. The marine mollusk Aplysia californica provides an ideal model system for examining plasticity at both the behavioral and neural levels following exposure to aversive stimuli. After receiving a noxious stimulus, Aplysia elicit the learned behavioral change known as sensitization through which their defensive responses are enhanced, in particular the tail-siphon withdrawal reflex (TSWR). Sensitization of the TSWR manifests from an increase in facilitation at the neuronal synapses that govern the reflex. Sensitization training induces a concurrent suppression of non-defensive behaviors, particularly feeding behavior. The suppression of feeding results from a decrease in excitability of neuron B51, which is a key decision-making neuron in the feeding neural circuit that is critical to the production of feeding behavior. The neurotransmitter serotonin has been shown to mediate and induce the sensitization of the TSWR, but it is not involved in the concomitant suppression of feeding behavior. This study proposed the neurotransmitter nitric oxide (NO) as the signaling molecule that mediates the modification of feeding. The goal of this study was to examine the roles of NO signaling in the enhancement of the TSWR produced by sensitization training, the sensitization training-induced suppression of feeding, and the modulation of the feeding neural circuit. NO signaling was found to be necessary for sensitization training-induced behavioral plasticity. When NO signaling was pharmacologically blocked by in vivo application of the NO synthase inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), sensitization training failed to produce the sensitization of the TSWR. L-NAME also prevented sensitization training from inducing the suppression of feeding behavior known to occur concomitantly with the sensitization of the TSWR. These results suggested that modifications of both defensive and non-defensive behaviors via aversive learning were prevented when NO signaling was blocked. NO signaling was also found to modulate the Aplysia feeding neural circuit. NO is known to tonically inhibit feeding behavior in vivo. The application of L-NAME in vitro to isolated preparations of the feeding circuit caused the excitability and activity of neuron B51 to increase. Conversely, when NO signaling was augmented by in vitro application of the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP) to the isolated feeding circuit, the excitability of B51 decreased in a manner analogous to that produced by sensitization training. Neither L-NAME nor SNAP treatments affected the resting membrane properties of B51, indicating that the bidirectional modulation of B51 excitability by NO signaling acts through voltage-dependent channels. Based on these results, it is evident that NO signaling modulates the changes in multiple behaviors following exposure to aversive stimuli, and that NO signaling is significantly involved in and essential for behavioral and cellular plasticity in Aplysia. 2014-08-07T00:00:00Z Sleep Disorders Treatment Survey http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/153675 Sleep Disorders Treatment Survey Even though the Association of Sleep Disorders Center was founded in 1976, sleep medicine wasn't considered a specialty until 1996. The United States population has undergone a 20% decrease in sleep time over the past century, with a concurrent increase in reported sleep disorders. Sleep disorders are similar to the "silent killer" heart disease in that they frequently go undiagnosed. While personal health can be affected by sleep disorders, there is also a risk to third parties. Big trucks are responsible for 4,000 fatalities yearly, and 28% of commercial driver's license (CDL) drivers have diagnosed sleep apnea. A government passed bill HR3095 regulates physical exams required by CDL drivers. A licensed CDL driver now has to be seen by a medical examiner registered by the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners to be eligible to drive once diagnosed with a sleep disorder. Several treatments are offered to alleviate the symptoms of sleep disorders. The standard form of treatment requires patients to wear devices that often result in low compliance. However, it is unclear what types of treatments patients try, and whether they eventually find a treatment that works to alleviate their symptoms. This study was performed on 86 subjects to obtain a census of what treatments people who had been diagnosed with sleep disorders used to alleviate their symptoms. There are no current cures for sleep disorders but the symptoms can be managed. This survey assesses patient knowledge and where they acquired their information about sleep disorders and treatment, which treatments were used, what symptoms were experienced, and quality of life issues. The majority of subjects acquired their information about sleep disorders from their dentists, sleep physician, family doctor, family/friends and the internet (94%). Over 76% of the subjects stated that they had sleep disordered breathing symptoms for 6 years or more. There were several modalities of treatments used; nonsurgical, surgical and pharmacological. The two preferred treatments of choice were continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines and adjustable oral appliances (aOA). Subjects used aOA (80.2%) more often than CPAP (11.6%). Mann Whitney U-tests showed significantly fewer traveling difficulties and less interference with their quality of life with aOA than CPAP use. There was significant improvement after treatment in snoring, fatigue, and feeling refreshed in the morning regardless of treatment modality. 2014-08-18T00:00:00Z The Epidemiology and Impact of Dog-Associated Zoonoses in Developed and Developing Countries http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/153674 The Epidemiology and Impact of Dog-Associated Zoonoses in Developed and Developing Countries Dogs are an important part of human societies throughout the world. Although people derive many economic and health benefits from their relationships with dogs, these relationships are not without risk. Interaction with dogs can lead to an increased risk for zoonotic diseases, if the appropriate precautions are not taken. While dogs contribute to the transmission of a variety of zoonoses, only a few of these diseases, such as rabies and cystic echinococcosis, are recognized as having widespread economic and public health implications. In order to assess the knowledge and perceptions of dog-associated zoonoses in Brazos County, Texas, random digit dialing was used to select households for participation in a cross-sectional telephone survey. Of the 1691 households, which were contacted, 922 (55%) completed the interview. Dog owners accounted for 56% of the study participants. Eighty-six percent of the respondents indicated they would report being bitten by a dog that they did not own. Factors that were shown to be significantly associated with bite reporting included, age, sex, urbanicity, and rabies knowledge. Many of the respondents lacked knowledge about dog-associated zoonoses, which could seriously affect their health. Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is known to be endemic in Rio Negro Province, Argentina. However, current epidemiological data were not available for this region. A community-based CE screening study, which incorporated diagnostic imaging and a questionnaire, was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of human CE and identify locally relevant risk factors in the study population. The overall CE prevalence among the community volunteers was 7.1%, with 1.6% of children, and 10% of adults diagnosed as CE-positive. Age, level of education, dog ownership, and contact with sheep were found to be significantly associated with CE status. In regions of the world where CE is highly endemic, it has been shown to be a substantial financial burden for those who are affected. When the costs associated with human CE, obtained from hospital chart reviews and patient interviews, were combined with livestock-associated costs obtained from government reports and scientific publications, the estimated total annual cost of CE in Rio Negro Province was $5,100,373 (95% CI: $2,852,345–$8,004,122). 2014-08-04T00:00:00Z

I have a client that is requesting independent H1 tags which can be different to the auto generated page titles in Magento, i.e usually these would be category names, page titles, product titles etc.
As there is no field for this in Magento backend I thought the best way to overide would be if the user puts the custom H1 in the meta tags field and then I pull that data in the theme files if it exists or show standard title if not.
So for instance in: /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/category/view.phtml
We have:

<?php echo $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_category->getName(), 'name') ?>

My idea was to use the default meta keyword head tags and have something like this:
If this is not empty show it
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->getKeywords()) ?>
else show default title
<?php echo $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_category->getName(), 'name') ?>
Problem is the
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->getKeywords()) ?> does not show anything when placed outside of its defult head.phtml template.
Anyone have any ideas how to get the meta keywords in any theme file in Magneto?

America's Mixed Emotions About Dr. Bill Cosby
in Lifestyle
You can not escape this topic at all. Dr. Bill Cosby's past is in the news AGAIN!
The accusations about the people who say he used a drug to take advantage of them have resurfaced. Some have been paid off and some are new to the scene altogether.
You would have had to be under a rock in order for this not to be something you have heard of even a headlines worth. A lot of nerves have been hit with this comin out again. There are those who have been sexually assaulted that are passionately speaking out for his accusers.
There are interviews where he will not open his mouth to speak about these accusationa at all and America feels like he owes them this. He has been America's favorite African American Dad for a number of years. He seems to be losing ground at 77 years of age.
The court of public opinion is not playing. But do they know what they want as restitution from Dr. Cosby? What will make all well with the world again as far as he is concerned?

IDEA's Excess Cost Calculation
One of the ways IDEA establishes that an LEA is meeting the supplement not supplant provision is through the Excess Cost Calculation. It is defined in §300.16 as costs that are in excess of the average annual per student expenditure level for an elementary school or secondary school student. This demonstrates that the LEA is not using federal funds in place of local and state funds for the core educational program in regard to students with disabilities.

Publishers Weekly"You might sum this up as a mixture of Moby Dick, The Caine Mutiny, and 'Star Trek' . . . a good adventure story."
—Publishers Weekly
Posted January 20, 2012
"When we wrote this I was about twenty-two. If you choose to read it, please blame me for anything you dislike about it and assume that any part of it you enjoy was Dave's responsibility." - Dennis R. Bailey With a quote like that, it is hard not to believe that this is something that starts off well, and ends badly on certain levels. Unfortunately, Tin Woodman does just that. While some books are classics and others are duds, Tin Woodman would certainly rate as both. Only in this book's particular case, it started out as a classic short story in the Seventies(which was nominated for a Nebula Award in 1977)and later a brilliant novel in 1979, but only to end up as a dud when it was remade into a less-than-memorable(or as some fans have stated 'unpopular')episode of Star Trek - The Next Generation, some fifteen years later. Like John Carpenter allowing Rob Zombie to remake his 1978 horror classic 'Halloween', one wonders what Dennis R. Bailey and David Bischoff were thinking when they decided to recycle an original(and brilliant)plot into something mediocre. To quote an old saying, "If it isn't broken, then don't fix it'. While only being familiar with David Bischoff's WarGames novelization from 1983(the year that the science fiction thriller was released in cinemas), his ST-TNG novel Grounded, the SeaQuest DSV adventure 'The Ancient', the Austrailian sci-fi opus Farscape - Ship Of Ghosts, and the Space Precinct trilogy, I can't really comment on his mindset, concerning the idea of remaking this piece of science fiction literature. However, being quite familiar with Dennis R. Bailey's reputation - a political liberal with a staunch contempt for authority and others of staunch, conservative politics and for his flagrant disregard of such old fashioned sayings and values - it is clearly obvious that he chose to ignore such sage wisdom and tarnish his work into something less than enjoyable and less than entertaining. Bottom line is this. What was once colossal in the Seventies, was severely reduced to something diminuative in the Nineties. And that is only putting a gloss on the history of this sci-fi story. Tin Woodman tells the story about Div Harlthor. A misfit by anybody's definition. A young man "gifted" with such strong psychic powers that he cannot bear human contact and is happiest living in isolation. Div is also an individual who is considered dangerous because of his ability to read minds. But Div is also the one human being whose powers may be strong enough to reach out and contact a mysterious alien creature found drifting in deep space. When Div is taken aboard a starship at the request of the government(more like he is taken into space and sent out against his will to examine the great creature with his mind)he learns that the mission of the crew is to somehow communicate with the alien craft and bring it back to earth. However, things don't go as planned when the young psychic makes contact with the sentient starship and decides to take matters into his own hands. From that point on, no one can imagine or even predict what will happen when his will and that of the alien intelligence are joined. Dennis Bailey...the man...the legend...the hero... Given his larger than life ego, he probably is. But only in his own mind. Avoid this and find something else worthy.

"I loved my RSVP cards. It was simple, but lovely. I ordered it in pearl white shimmer for some elegance, which I definitely recommend. They did a great job tailoring this to my needs with no error. I asked the entree selections portion to be taken out and it was done beautifully. I will certainly be using this site again for my thank you cards and other events!"

Like I said, though, the trick is getting the energy required to MOVE (or lurch) that undead citizen around. You're not taking anything new in, so you're stuck with the energy you started with. Once you burn through the reserves, no more functioning zombie. You aren't pulling energy from a ZPM, it's gotta come from something. And that jellifying of the blood is fine as far as that goes, but it also means it's not circulating, so no new oxygen or blood to those cells. Like the ones in the brain. So they'd be borked almost within minutes. Since they are ok without even HAVING lungs, they don't appear to need oxygen. No blood circulating means body temp won't regulate either, so they'd be even MORE screwed with hot and cold, things would be falling off everywhere! You appear to still need a functioning brain (even if they don't really use it) to be a live zombie, the jelled, non-circulating blood won't lead to that, it'll lead to dead zombies.
So: no oyxgen to tissues, no circulating blood, no new energy into system. Kinda bad that by trying to explain why they don't rot, you killed the thing that was allowing them to MOVE.
You're into just accepting "a wizard did it" within about an hour of infection. Hand-waving part of it away just makes more obvious problems in other areas.
I think that's why they went with an entirely different type of outbreak in such as the 28 Days Later movies, the zombie outbreak isn't remotely plausible due to basic thermodynamics.

We wanted to hike and mountain bike in Dupont State Forest and this was a great place to stay, it's within a couple minutes of all the Dupont trail heads and attraction points. The property was beautiful and the cabin was really nice! I highly recommend and will stay here again myself!
My fiancée and I wanted a relaxing weekend getaway. This place was perfect. The cabin was so nice and clean. The property is very well cared for. We loved playing scrabble in front of the fireplace. We kept the fire going all weekend. We cooked most of our meals, the kitchen has everything you need. We hiked to Hooker Falls, Triple Falls, and High Falls. All three were unbelievable. We also went to see "The Pretty Place". You don't want to miss that, it was so beautiful. We made a trip into Brevard, a cool little town, and then visited downtown Asheville on our way home. It was the perfect getaway.
When you first drive up you realize it's everything you were expecting and then some. The grounds are extremely well kept and the cabin is very clean and cozy. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need, just bring food (and wine). Plenty of towels and beds are comfortable. Quiet, peaceful, didn't even leave one day, just hung out and enjoyed the pond and property. Hope to visit again soon.
Excellent location and setting for this rental home. Very clean and well appointed. Good communication from owners and all was as promised. Highly recommend this property for exploring the Brevard area.
We have been visiting DuPont State Forest and Pisgah National Forest for about five years now. For the past 4 years we have spent our Thanksgiving Holiday in the area. Previous years we have stayed in a hotel, this year we decided to try and rent a cabin. While searching I came across the "gem in the forest". This discription does not do justice to what it really is. There was7 of us and we had plenty of room. It was exactly what we were looking for a nice neat clean cabin tucked away in the woods. We spend most of our time hiking to the waterfalls in the area and just enjoying the out doors. When we were at the cabin there was plenty to do, from books to read, games to play or just sitting around the fire talking about our day or memories of the past. My wife and I plan on returning sometime soon for a weekend getaway, we will also try to book again for next year for the family. We did not fish this time but did spend sometime around the pond watching the fish swim around. We had no problem getting a Honda accord up to the cabin. Again this "gem" was exactly what we were looking for, you can not go wrong with the "gem".
Words cannot express how wonderful this cabin is! It is truly a "gem" in the forest! Our family has visited over the last 10 years and try to visit as often as we can throughout the year. Our children are 10, 15 and 17. They have basically all grown up in "the cabin". Our most favorite family memories are being at Cedar Mountain. The cabin is awesome! It has every comfort you could possibly imagine. Just like home! There is enough space inside and outside for our family of 5 and more. There are games, puzzles, movies, books and magazines, plus let's not forget about the fishing! Delicious trout! We love the wood burning fireplace. The owners are amazing and have worked with us so many times when events have happened that are out of our control. They have always been gracious and kind and willing to help us anyway they could. Our kids love the loft area! The porch area is amazing! If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world and enjoy great family time together, this is the place to go. It has been such a blessing to our family, and we thank God for the opportunity to be able to spend time in this cabin! It's our favorite vacation spot!
Hiking and Mountain Biking Trails all around, Waterfalls, Wildlife viewing, Trout Fishing and much more

Road Safety at Work
Work Related Road Safety does not just apply to those people who drive as part of their job, but also everyone that manages drivers. On average 65% of all company vehicles will be involved in a collision over the next 12 months according to the AA.
Road Traffic Collision Maps
To highlight the seriousness of this issue, Road Safety has produced a series of maps displaying all road casualties in Cornwall from 01/04/2008 to 31/03/2013. The maps are split into four regions allowing individual roads to be identified. As an employer or employee these maps can assist you in identifying the casualty numbers on the routes you travel most frequently.
- West Cornwall (Truro and westwards)
- Mid Cornwall (Redruth to Bodmin / Fowey)
- East Cornwall (Padstow / St Columb and eastwards)
- North Cornwall (Launceston and northwards)
Note. These maps are in pdf format and are fairly large (up to 9mb) which may take some time to download on slow connections. Please contact us on the address below if you experience any issues with this.
Winter driving
Reports suggest we could be entering one of the wettest winters on record.
Have you considered how this may affect your drivers safety and slow their progress?
- It takes longer to stop a vehicle on wet roads so slow down and allow extra distance between you and the vehicle in front.
- Watch out for falling/fallen debris on the road and vehicles veering across the road
- Control of a vehicle may be affected by strong cross winds. High sided vehicles and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to strong winds
- Take special care when driving behind goods vehicles as they generate a considerable amount of spray which reduces your visibility
- Allow extra space between you and vulnerable road users such as cyclists and motorcyclists
- Drive with dipped headlights at all times
- Be aware of the danger of aquaplaning especially on roads with 60mph and 70mph speed limits.
- Check tyres and replace them if the thread depth is below 3mm
Wet or flooded roads?
- Flooded roads that appear shallow could be deeper than you think.
- After going through water, drive slowly with your foot on the brake pedal for a short distance - this helps to dry the brakes.
- Sometimes roads can be closed due to their fragile state after wet weather or because they are blocked by flooding.
- Road users should always follow recommended routes and obey signs closing roads to traffic
- Watch out for washed out roads, earth slides, broken water or sewer
Free Workshops
Cornwall's Road Safety Unit also offer completely free workshops to local businesses.
These workshops are not going to tell you how to drive, or to lecture on what you should or shouldn't do. Almost all drivers know what they should or shouldn't do, yet collisions still occur. There is something preventing the driver from behaving in the way they intend: whether this is peer pressure, perceived work pressure or something else influencing them.
The workshops are an opportunity to take a moment to think about how you drive, what may affect your driving behaviour, and to consider some strategies to overcome these.
The sessions are very interactive, with short activities, videos and discussions. They are informal, and typically last between 1 hour and 1½ hours.
Simply contact us using the details below.
Further information and downloads
Protecting your business is our business and it's free.
If you would like to access any of our services please contact the road safety team on 01872 327340. Alternatively email: firstname.lastname@example.com
For information on the legal requirements for Work Related Road Safety, along with advice on risk assessments, please view HSE's Driving at Work leaflet. Rospa's Driving at Work pdf includes a sample work related road safety policy to get you started, and also some advice and tips.
This is a more condensed version of the above leaflet created by Cornwall Council.

In honor of National Dog Fighting Awareness Day on April 8, we're teaming up with professional wrestler and animal lover AJ Lee to ask animal advocates across the country to get tough on dog fighting.
"Growing up, my family and I lived in very poor, very dangerous areas and dog fighting was prevalent," AJ says. Her family fostered former fighting dogs and eventually adopted a pup named Mugsy, whose sweet nature inspired AJ's love of the pit bull breed and commitment to rescue dogs.
Alongside passionate animal supporters like AJ, we're working to eradicate dog fighting by advocating for stronger laws and harsher sentencing for those who fight dogs and by assisting with raids and rescues. But we can't do it alone.
That's why we're calling on you to join our #GetTough campaign. Visit aspca.org/GetTough to get involved in three ways:
- Take action by signing our petition asking the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) to continue to crack down on dog fighting.
- Download our FREE digital toolkit including, social media shareables, a printable poster and more!
- Snap a selfie with our printable poster and share it your social media channels using the hashtag #GetTough.
Please visit aspca.org/GetTough to spread the word today and help us eliminate this form of cruelty for good!
In November, Alabama courts made history by handing down a record-breaking eight-year sentence in a federal dog fighting case. Now, the remaining two defendants in the case—which marked the second-largest dog fighting bust in U.S. history—have received their sentences, and the news is just as exciting.
The remaining defendants were sentenced for dog fighting offenses and ordered to pay restitutions totaling nearly $2 million to the ASPCA for the care of the dogs seized. The ASPCA is grateful to Assistant U.S. Attorney Clark Morris of the Office of the U.S. Attorney George L. Beck for prosecuting this case to the fullest extent of the law and ensuring that those responsible for the torture of hundreds of animals received due justice.
After more than a year of care from the ASPCA, hundreds of dogs seized during this case have finally moved on to the second chapters of their lives and are now living in loving homes. We hope that this historic case will send a message to those involved in dog fighting that these activities will not be tolerated in our community.
Please help us continue to save animals from cruelty and abuse by making a donation today.
When an animal is rescued from cruelty, the road to recovery is not always easy. A dog or cat exposed to abuse wouldn't be blamed for wanting to shut down and avoid the world, but more often than not, the animals we meet prove to have an unrivaled resilience—a strength and spirit that shines through despite the darkness of their past. We are inspired by these animals every day, and we are so proud to share their stories. Here is the Happy Tail of one such animal, a Pit Bull named Stella.
On July 31, 2014, the ASPCA and the NYPD joined forces to rescue 20 dogs from a dog fighting operation in Queens, New York. Multiple dogs, many of whom were emaciated, scarred, and wearing heavy chains, were found without access to food or water. A bloody treadmill, weighted harnesses, steroids, syringes and other dog fighting paraphernalia were also found on the property. Stella was one of the canine victims rescued that day.
After her rescue, Stella spent a month at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, where she received immediate medical attention and an eventual spay surgery. After her recovery, she was transferred to the ASPCA Adoption Center to begin her search for a forever home. In early October, she hit the jackpot in the form of Katelyn E. and her boyfriend, Jesse.
Kate and Jesse had been talking about dog adoption for a while before they met Stella. Kate says, "We were looking forward to having a pet in our family—someone to always keep us company and brighten our day. We also knew that there are so many dogs in shelters looking for a home, so we definitely wanted to adopt!" They met a number of dogs at the Adoption Center, but Stella stood out as the perfect match.
"We knew Stella was the right dog for us after our first meeting," Kate recalls. "Her tail was wagging and she was just happy to be able to play with her toys." They adopted the 40-lb. pooch and brought her home that same day.
Though we were thrilled to see Stella find a forever home, we knew that her painful past was still a fresh memory. Fortunately, Kate and Jesse were eager and willing to put in the effort to help sweet Stella adjust. "When we first brought Stella home she was very shy and scared," Kate recalls. Everything was new for Stella—she huddled in her crate and was fearful of the apartment's stairs. For the first few days, Kate and Jesse carried her up all four flights. But once she realized that Kate and Jesse's home was now her home, too, Stella transformed.
"After the first few nights, Stella was like a new dog," says Kate. "She is so happy to be with her new family. Every day we wake up to her wagging her tail—she literally jumps into our laps and kisses our faces to say good morning." Stella now handles the stairs with ease and eagerly awaits snuggle time with her family. "Every new experience is so exciting for her," Kate marvels. "She loves getting new toys, bones, and lots of hugs. She is such a sweet dog, and by far the best decision we have made. We are extremely happy with Stella."
After a lifetime of pain, Stella's new home probably seemed too good to be true. But she eventually realized that it is in fact the opposite—it's everything she has always deserved. We couldn't be more grateful for her very happy ending.
On a hot August day in 2013, the ASPCA assisted in the rescue of 367 dogs in the second-largest dog-fighting bust in United States history.
They were known as "The 367," and on that day, their lives changed forever.
Removed from properties in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas, the dogs—who ranged in age from just a few days to 12 years—were scarred, starving, and tethered to heavy chains with little access to food or water. Most had never experienced life without suffering, and several of them, including a Pit Bull named Ruby, were pregnant with pups.
Though Ruby had likely spent most of her life abused and neglected, our Emergency Responders were amazed by her sweet, gentle nature. After giving birth, Ruby was adopted by one of our responders—and she is now in the process of becoming a certified therapy dog who will bring love and joy to local hospitals, schools and retirement homes.
Ruby was one of "The 367," but like all the dogs saved that day, she was more than just a number. Ruby's unbreakable spirit in the face of cruelty is what inspires the ASPCA to continue to do the difficult work that we do. But we can't save more animals like Ruby without you by our side.
Every dollar you donate to the ASPCA makes a huge difference in an animal's life. For dogs like Ruby, it can mean the difference between life and death. Help us end their suffering: Make a gift to the ASPCA today.
The United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama concluded sentencing today for eight individuals arrested during the second largest dog fighting raid in U.S. history in August 2013. The case was led by the United States Attorney's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who requested assistance from the ASPCA and HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) in the removal, transport, sheltering, medical and daily care of the animals seized during the raid. Sentences ranged from supervised probation to eight years—which is the longest prison term ever handed down in a federal dog fighting case.
Throughout the hearing, U.S. District Judge Keith Watkins commented on the extreme cruelty committed both due to dog fighting and the conditions in which these dogs were forced to live. Judge Watkins further reiterated that the federal sentencing guidelines for dog fighting are wholly inadequate to address the seriousness of the crime. He estimated that the defendants had injured or killed between 420 to 640 dogs in the course of this dog fighting operation.
"These dogs lived in deplorable conditions, were emaciated, had parasites, ear infections, eye infections, heartworms, fleas and ticks," stated U.S. Attorney George L. Beck, Jr. "Their living conditions constituted extraordinary cruelty. These dogs were also made to fight and, if they lost the fight, they were killed. I hope that these sentences demonstrate the seriousness of this crime and will deter others from committing these atrocities."
Judge Watkins also ordered that after their release from prison, each defendant serve a three-year term of supervised release. While on supervised release, the defendants are prohibited from possessing dogs.
"This is truly a landmark case for the animal welfare community," said Tim Rickey, Vice President of ASPCA Field Investigations and Response, who testified at the hearings. "We hope this case serves as a precedent for future dog fighting cases and sends a message to dog fighters everywhere that this crime will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
On August 23, 2013, The ASPCA and HSUS assisted the United States Attorney's Office and FBI in seizing hundreds of dogs in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. Many of the dogs seized during this case have finally moved on to the second chapters of their lives and were placed with various rescue groups across the country to be made available for adoption.
We believe that there will come a time when dog fighting is seen for what it really is: the shameful pastime of cowards. But until that day comes, we will continue to fight for the victims—so that they never have to fight again.

About the Book
Award-winning food critic Steven A. Shaw (a.k.a. "The Fat Guy") can get a last-minute dinner reservation at the most popular hot spot in town. He knows how that flawless piece of fish reached your plate. He can read between the lines of a restaurant review, and he knows the secrets of why some restaurants succeed and others fail. Now he shares his insider's expertise with food lovers everywhere.

'Things Being What They Are' transcends male stereotypes
I'll admit I wasn't doing cartwheels upon learning the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's holiday play, Wendy MacLeod's "Things Being What They Are," involves two middle-aged, avowedly heterosexual men bonding over brewskis. One of the many reasons I go to the theater is to escape such conversations, which are frequently slathered in cliché when they're not conducted in guttural utterances.
But as MacLeod's smartly written, warm and funny play makes clear, such stereotyping isn't fair to men, and it certainly isn't fair to this moving and entertaining production, which marks the talented Michael Cotey's Chamber directorial debut and features winning performances from actors Dan Katula and Ryan Schabach. »Read Full Article

But we are talking about actors (people who get paid to be someone they are not) and their performing abilities (well I am) and if they are any good, what they look like and their personality in real life shouldn't matter really should it?

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Rachel Shabi | 29 Mar 2008 21:15 GMT
Before the Israel-Lebanon war broke out, Ayyoub was selling from his stock of hero portraits, such as Che Guevara, Yasser Arafat, Fidel Castro, Egypt's late leader Abdel Gamal Nasser and Jesus.
On the day of one of many Ramallah demonstrations against the Lebanon war last week, Ayyoub says he sold around 1,000 posters of the Hezbollah leader.
Hit song
"Nasrallah's war is a resistance war against Israel and against the US attempts to reshape the Middle East in their interests"Zakariya Muhammad, Ramallah-based writerMeanwhile, Ramallah's hit song of the summer, blaring out of shops and streets stalls on a loop, is "The eagle of Lebanon," in praise of Nasrallah.
"Nasrallah's war is a resistance war against Israel and against the US attempts to reshape the Middle East in their interests"Zakariya Muhammad, Ramallah-based writer
One music store reports receiving scores of requests for the CD each day and there are numerous stalls selling the disc along Ramallah's main streets.
All over the city, secularists, Christians and Muslims alike refer to the Hezbollah leader as Palestine's newest and truest hero.
"I am secular in principle," says Zakariya Muhammad, a Ramallah-based writer. "But Nasrallah's war is a resistance war against Israel and against the US attempts to reshape the Middle East in their interests."
Sufian Adawi, a money-changer in the city centre, was one of the first to put a photo of Nasrallah in his shop window when the war broke out.
"He is the symbol of victory, a leader of the Arab resistance," he says. "This is the first time that the Arabs are fighting properly and are strong against Israel."
"He is different to other heroes because he stands up to Israel, he isn't scared and he doesn't stay quiet"Nadia al-Khatib,RamallahMany voices in Ramallah echo this sentiment, agreeing that Hezbollah's 26-day resistance to the Israeli army elevates Nasrallah to the league of superhero.
"He is different to other heroes because he stands up to Israel, he isn't scared and he doesn't stay quiet"Nadia al-Khatib,Ramallah
"He is different to other heroes because he stands up to Israel, he isn't scared and he doesn't stay quiet - he takes action," says Nadia al-Khatib, 16.
The West Bank city currently holds daily demonstrations against the war and has unofficially renamed one of its main streets Bint Jbeil, in solidarity with the Lebanese village that has seen fierce clashes between the Israeli army and Hezbollah fighters.
Some Israeli newspapers have argued that support for Hezbollah could manifest in a greater motivation for attacks on Israel from the West Bank.
One Israeli newspaper last week reported the Israeli police in a high state of alert and the West Bank in full closure because of warnings related to "suicide bombings, high trajectory weapons attack, and kidnapping attacks."
Increased attacks
A spokesman for the Israel army says: "Over the last couple of weeks we have seen an increase in terror activity emanating from the West Bank and we think that this is linked not just to support for Hezbollah but also to Hezbollah encouraging this type of activity."
The spokesman adds: "We believe that Hezbollah are interested in a third front being opened [in the West Bank] and are supporting - we even think financially - terror activities."
According to the Israeli army, six suicide bombers were intercepted in the last two weeks, three of them on Israeli territory.
But Fatah leaders in Ramallah think it unlikely that political alliances would be formed on the back of popular support for Hezbollah.
"The Palestinian people would support any side or any party that stands in the face of the Israeli occupation," says Mohammad al-Hourani, Fatah member of the Palestinian parliament.
He adds: "People may side with Hezbollah because of solidarity and sympathy. But that doesn't mean that people want to be a part of Hezbollah."
Wide appeal
Back at Manara square in Ramallah, Waleed Ayyoub is still selling the Nasrallah images to "all people of all ages - even little children."
He is especially proud of a sale made to an Arab-Israeli woman from Haifa, fleeing the Katyusha attacks on her city.
The artist intends to donate profits from poster sales to charities helping Gaza and Lebanon.
Explaining why Nasrallah has such appeal in the West Bank, he says:
"We are always looking for someone to help us, to save us, to free us. In Palestine, we can't find a hero like Nasrallah."
