One of the best aspects of trail running is that you can be foot-loose and fancy free out on the trails. But only to a point.
The growth of the sport has led to more impact on trails and brought safety, environmental concerns, dogs and other issues to the forefront. To address those issues, the American Trail Running Association (ATRA) recently released its "Rules on the Run" to help direct trail runners towards "sustainable" running practices – basically a few pointers to follow to make trail running better for everyone.
The aspirational guidelines were developed with the assistance of the International Mountain Bike Association and Leave No Trace, which have extensive experience regarding such topics. The goal isn't to preach from above, but to offer environmentally sound etiquette to help trail runners foster a responsible approach to training and racing, and ultimately to maintain access to and well-being of trails near and far.
Stay on the Trail
It's easy and sometimes an adventurous notion to shortcut a trail, but it's not good for the trails. ATRA encourages trail runners to stay on well-marked trails that already exist rather than blazing new routes or cutting switchbacks. The goal is to avoid creating new unauthorized trails or using unmarked "social trails" because they increase runners' impressions on the environment and they often lead to land agencies closing portions of available trails.
ATRA suggests runners run single file in the middle of a trail, especially when trails are laden with a fresh blanket of snow or are muddy. Go through puddles rather than around them. Running around mud, rocks or downed tree limbs widens trails, impacts vegetation, and causes further and unnecessary erosion. If the terrain is exceedingly muddy, refrain from running on the trails so that you don't create damaging potholes.

A handwritten kill list by a middle school student has the town of Eatonville uneasy. On it, the boy targeted 10 classmates. He s now expelled and in custody at the Remann Hall Juvenile Detention Center in Tacoma.
Police and School officials aren t saying much, but parents believe the boy was being bullied. They say thankfully, another student found his list and told somebody.
Parents were alerted of the threat and the school s swift action on a recording that went out Friday night.
It informed them of the incident and that all 10 parents of the children listed were notified.
It helped ease the fear a little bit, said Crystal Nykreim, a parent whose son attends the school.
Nykreim says it also assured parents all kids were safe.
It s scary but I think they covered it really well, she said.
The principal asked parents to not allow their kids to engage in social media. Police aren t sure if the list was a joke or not but given the recent Sandy Hook tragedy, threats like this have extra emphasis.
Things like this are totally unacceptable. Kids need to know they just can t do that, said Ray Harper, Eatonville Mayor and police spokesman.
Nykreim is hopeful the student that made the threats can receive help. She also believes the ten students named on the kill list can learn something.
If there was anyone that was bullying, hopefully they ll think about it more and be aware of it and realize their actions affect other people, she said.
Eatonville police have turned this case over to the Pierce County Prosecutor s Office.
Officials say the student could be charged with felony harassment, which means up to two years in a juvenile detention center.

what to buy
Umbrella strollers used to be a minimalist alternative for pushing older babies and toddlers without the bulk and heft of a traditional stroller. They tended to be nothing more complex than a sling-type seat -- no canopies or storage -- with a compact fold. But that was then; this is now.
An umbrella stroller can have all the bells and whistles of a full-featured model. Some of the higher-end umbrella strollers offer huge canopies, recline fully for newborns, are car seat compatible and comfortably accommodate children up to 55 pounds. And yet they still fold compactly and are lightweight compared to traditional strollers.
Most stroller brands offer an umbrella-style stroller, with a two-handled frame that folds up tightly in both width and depth, so you end up with a long, narrow package. They generally have smaller wheels and less storage than other stroller types and may be less durable over the long run. If you are looking for a full-service traditional stroller, read our report on full-featured strollers. Parents that want a rugged, outdoor stroller will want to see our report on all-terrain strollers. If you want your car seat to transfer to your stroller easily, head over to our report on car seat strollers. Families with multiple children close in age, twins or triplets should refer to our double strollers report. An umbrella stroller should never be used to run with; if you like to jog, our report on jogging strollers will interest you.
An umbrella stroller should have all the important safety features, including a five-point harness and secure brakes. The buckle on the harness should be difficult for a toddler to open. Linked brakes are easiest to use but are less common on umbrella strollers. A locking fold ensures the stroller won't open while being carried.
One important safety issue to watch for with umbrella strollers is the recline. Experts say that a newborn should never be in a stroller that does not have a full recline. If there is only a partial recline, it should only be used for babies with good head control -- generally from 3 to 6 months. The problem is that stroller manufacturers often do not list lower weight/age guidelines. Unless you can verify that the umbrella stroller has a full recline, it should not be used for a newborn, regardless of what it may say on the manufacturer's website.
Baby products are often subject to recalls, and umbrella strollers are no exception. Maclaren, Britax and Zooper umbrella strollers have all been subject to recalls in the past few years. We have carefully considered the reason for the recall and the manufacturer's response in our research.
In addition to safety, we looked at ease of use, lifestyle features and customer service to pick the best strollers in three categories: Best Overall, Best for Newborns and Best under $80. One of these is sure to be a perfect fit for your family.

Comments about Acuvue Contact Lenses 1 Day Acuvue Moist:
I once had an eye infection that made me very wary of putting anything in my eye. So now I use Daily Acuvue manly because of sanitation concerns: I like having a sterile pair every morning. And not to mention the convenience of not having to clean them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great for dry eyes
By p3edave
from San Jacinto, CA
I have dry eyes and have had a problem with my contacts drying out and not lasting but about 2 weeks. The 1-Day Acuvue Moist solved my problem. It's also nice to put a new pair in every morning, not having to take them out and soak them overnight is also plus.

Colin Farrell Is Intensely Hot – The Daily Swoon
Irish actor Colin Farrell has been burning it up on the big screen for a couple of decades now, proving he's still just as hot as ever.
Confession time: I didn't get the whole Colin Farrell attraction until a couple of years ago. Don't judge me! I was sitting in the theater watching 'Fright Night' and it hit me like a ton of bricks — "Oh my god, Colin Farrell is so totally hot. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?!" You guys tried, I know. But attraction is a very subjective, visceral thing, and it just took the right movie to get me to see him the way you guys see him.
So now I'm here to make reparations by sharing my affection for Colin with all of you. Maybe you aren't very familiar with him, so this is like me paying it forward — if I can get you to think he's hot, then I've accomplished something here today.
Farrell has starred in films like last year's 'Total Recall' and 'Seven Psychopaths,' and he's had a pretty varied career with parts in 'Horrible Bosses,' 'Minority Report,' and 'Alexander.' He's got a very intense look about him, but he can also be soft and sweet with big puppy dog eyes — that's the thing that really won me over.
And it probably will you, too.

Rivers should have atleast 6-8 points amount of times he made an awesome move and a no call on a massive ibaka foul is amazing.. comeon.
First quarter we outscored their bigs 14-10. Second quarter we outscored their bigs 8-3.

Rivers should have atleast 6-8 points amount of times he made an awesome move and a no call on a massive ibaka foul is amazing.. comeon.
not gonna say durant gets every call but ... he does
Announcers are saying 36 points is the lowest the Thunder have ever scored in the first half at OKC. Don't know how true that is, but yeah. Moral victory!
I don't understand all the hate towards Roberts? I understand that he doesn't run the offense as efficiently as he should but it is his first year in the league. He averages about 8 points a game, shooting a respectable 44% and 40% from three. His defense may not be the greatest but not many on this team can guard that ball. He is a quality scorer and getting the league minimum, he really is playing well compared to Rivers at this point.
Over/Under 20 points scoring the 3rd quarter for the Hornets? I'm taking the under at 15
Time for our kryptonite known as the third quarter
I see that as well, I've watched him for 6 plus years now as I'm a Dayton fan and that was his role. He was a SG that was forced to play PG and then required to score the ball. It is a terrible habit that he has but I think it will get better, he just needs more time.
please team have no let down quarter this game here!!!! please
It seems like every time Rivers back up and stay low, you're pretty much guaranteed he'll take a three.
I'm still trying to figure out how that pass got there to Aminu.

Item #
- Design House: Nina Ricci

- Year Introduced: 2001
- Recommended Use: daytime
No reviews written for this product
I love Premier Jour by Nina Ricci. There is this gorgeous flowery, feminine, and fun sense about it that attracted me to it few years ago and I still dig it today. This is my second bottle. I think it is best worn in daytime, and that it is more of a spring/summer perfume, just because there is this happy and outdoorsy vibe in it. The only negative thing that I can say about this perfume is that it does not last as long as I want it to, but that it is okay with me, because everything else about it is wonderful and the scent is just too yummy! ♥ I would put this perfume in the category of "Barbie would totally wear this." =P

Eco-fashion also known as "Green Style" or "Sustainable Fashion" is a trend that turns its attention toward designing, producing and showcasing ethical, sustainable and organic clothing and accessories. Eco or sustainable fashion is part of a larger trend of product development philosophy that uses organic raw materials to reduce a company's carbon footprint.
According to Earth Pledge, a non-profit organization (NPO) committed to promoting and supporting sustainable development, "At least 8,000 chemicals are used to turn raw materials into textiles and 25% of the world's pesticides are used to grow non-organic cotton. This causes irreversible damage to people and the environment, and still two thirds of a garment's carbon footprint will occur after it is purchased."

Senate group focuses on border security
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 4:34pm EST
By ERICA WERNER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - A bipartisan group of senators working to craft immigration legislation is focusing on how to define when the border is secure, one of several contentious issues that could cause the whole deal to collapse, a key Senate negotiator said Thursday.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., pointed to "serious challenges ahead" as the lawmakers delve into the nitty gritty of border security, how to define a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, and other issues such as a guest worker program _ something business wants and organized labor has concerns about.
"Make no mistake about it, these are difficult and thorny issues, and all three of us have seen any one of these issues bring previous immigration bills down," Schumer said at a news conference with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
Schumer, Durbin and the other six senators who proposed an immigration bill blueprint this week want assurances on border security before a path to citizenship can begin. President Barack Obama does not endorse such a linkage in his own immigration proposal, and the White House argues that the border is more secure now than it ever has been. But Republicans in the Senate group, including John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida, say they can't support an immigration bill that doesn't make a pathway to citizenship conditional on a secure border.
But just how to define a secure border remains to be determined, and the issue is front and center as the Senate group meets to draft legislative language.
Schumer and Durbin said they envision specific metrics that would need to be met. They didn't provide examples, but such measures could include crime statistics, arrests at the border, and the number of border agents deployed along the border.
"If we made the path to citizenship contingent on a safe and secure border, and just used that phrase, then it's in the eye of the beholder. It will always be subjective," Durbin said. "The idea behind a metric is to have something measurable, measurable, and we believe we can achieve that."
Rubio has said that "operational security" of the 2,000-mile border should be achieved before illegal immigrants can begin to achieve citizenship. He's defined that as law enforcement having a very high probability of being able to prevent somebody from illegally crossing the border or apprehending them if they do. A Government Accountability Office report in 2011 said that of the nine southwestern border sectors, only the Yuma, Ariz., sector had reported full operational security.
Rubio also wants a better system of tracking people here on visas and whether they've overstayed their visas.
McCain said Thursday that "we have to have control to the level we have on the Yuma sector today, and we can achieve it and it's doable, so we'll do it."
"We know what control of the border is. We'll know it when we see it," McCain said.
The Senate proposal envisions setting up a commission of border state lawmakers and citizens to make a recommendation about when border security metrics have been met, but Schumer said the Homeland Security secretary would have final say.
A year after Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal border crossers plunged to the lowest levels in nearly 40 years agents have seen a slight increase in arrests, according to Border Patrol arrest data obtained by The Associated Press. In the budget year that ended in September, Border Patrol agents arrested 356,873 would-be border crossers along the Mexican border. In fiscal year 2011, agents along the Mexican border made 327,577 arrests.

Just so the voters of Clay County know, absolutely no Voter ID is required to vote in the election today.
There has been some apparent confusion around the state regarding Voter ID and whether it is necessary for voters to present a form of identification at the polls on November 6, 2012.
There is no law requiring such a presentation.
If you are a registered and eligible voter do not let the lack of an ID hinder you from exercising your right to vote today.

|Blood and Marrow Transplant Reunion at Tropicana Field
It was billed as an All-Star Reunion at Tropicana Field on Saturday November 10th. But the "stars" weren't chosen for their ERA's or batting averages. They share life-saving experiences as transplant recipients from Blood & Marrow Transplant Programs at All Children's Hospital and the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. The two hospitals invited patients, their family and friends to join the staff for a joyful reunion – turning "the Trop" into a "field of miracles" for one Saturday afternoon.
More than a thousand guests enjoyed a picnic-style lunch, some baseball-related games and activities, and the chance to catch up with the doctors, nurses and staff who'd taken care of them and their families through a most difficult time in their lives. Among them, 33 patients who underwent their transplants at All Children's Hospital. Many still count their days "post-transplant" - and all totaled, All Children's reunion patients have racked up 232 years of post-transplant life.
These families know first-hand about the high quality of care offered in All Children's Blood & Marrow Transplant Program. Now there's independent confirmation. In May of this year, the non-profit Foundation for Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) awarded joint accreditation to All Children's program and to the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer and Research Institute's transplant program. The joint accreditation illustrates the strength of commitment between All Children's and Moffitt in collaborating to advance care and research for patients of all ages.

Craig Fugate, Administrator, FEMA
Click below to hear the interview

By Vyomika Jairam
Federal News Radio
Changes are coming to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's homeland security grants process.
The House and Senate have passed a bill that requires FEMA to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the grants it gives out.
The bill now goes to President Obama for his signature. The Federal Drive spoke to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate about the bill and about his priorities for the agency in 2011.
The first questing in dealing with preparedness, Fugate said, and especially in evaluating grants that seek to increase community preparedness, is metrics.
"How do you really measure a level of increased preparedness?" Fugate said.
Especially outside of an actual disaster response
"Oftentimes the only indicator that stands up is an actual response of how well you did, but how do we really measure that outside of a disaster to show that the invest of time and funds have actually prepared our communities better?" Fugate said.
Among FEMA's efforts in communities has been revamping exercise programs and program guides. Fugate said that community exercises have shown to be effective, but they need to be redesigned to better include the community. Responders and emergency personnel are obviously critical in disaster exercises, but they do not and cannot operate in a vacuum, so incorporating the community is important.
In a disaster situation, a community includes infants and children and members with language and financial barriers, Fugate elaborated. FEMA has to "build that into our exercises, and invite and include participation of the community in these exercises to demonstrate not only what we are doing, but also to help educate the public on their roles during disasters," Fugate said.
Along with that, Fugate believes that there needs to be a change in attitude in working with the community.
"It's taking the approach that the public is not a liability, they're a resource when disaster strikes," Fugate said.
Part of working with the public is reaching the public where they are, and Fugate has made incorporating social media into FEMA's protocol on of the agency's priorities.
"it's what the public is doing so if we're going to really be part of a team and look at how we support the public in disasters we need to communicate the way they're communicating," Fugate said.
Emergencies happen everyday, Fugate said, and in dealing with preparedness it's important to remember the small ways to prevent personal disasters such as house fires, small floods, and chemical emergencies.
So while something like preparedness for a category 4 hurricane is important to FEMA, so too is reminding the public to check their smoke detector, because with a house fire "it doesn't mean your losses would be any less severe," Fugate said.

The Bulls gave the Kings a Super Rugby lesson in Port Elizabeth in winning 34-0.
The Kings, victors against the Rebels in Melbourne a week ago, were never in this match and they were taken apart from the opening minute.
The old boys of the tournament were being questioned and they responded in style.
It was men against boys physically.
I was among those who picked the Kings to cause an upset, as did many in the 45 949 crowd, but the Bulls silenced all believers of a Kings miracle within five minutes.
They scored two tries in the first 20 minutes and the only surprise of the evening was that they went 55 minutes before scoring again.
The Kings would have felt they had claimed a second half moral victory in keeping the Bulls tryless until the 75th minute, but it would have been an injustice to the Bulls performance had they not got the four-try bonus point.
They got a bit of good fortune in scoring the bonus point try through a Kings turnover in the tackle with less than a minute to go, but 30-plus points was a fairer reflection than the 20-nil lead.
The Bulls, man for man, were superior in everything they did. The Kings could not cope with the Bulls physicality and mongrel. This was a case of the older kid putting the young newcomer in his place emphatically.
The Kings offered nothing in the first half, but credit to the Bulls for not allowing the home team to get a sniff. And by not giving the hosts any early momentum they also silenced the home crowd advantage.
This was the Bulls best performance of the season and the first 40 minutes was second only to the opening 40 produced by the Brumbies against the Sharks in Durban.
The Bulls pack bossed and monstered the home team and with the possession halfbacks Jano Vermaak and Morne Steyn controlled how and where the game would be played.
Steyn was superb with his tactical kicking and the match as a contest was over within 20 minutes.
The Bulls young centre pairing of Jan Serfontein and JJ Engelbrecht did as they pleased against a hesitant home team defence and Serfontein was named man of the match.

After his wrestling team went 0-5 in the Havelock duals to drop below .500 earlier this month, Northside coach Jeff Cobb figured it was time to focus on preparing his guys for the individual 2-A regionals.
With no dual matches left for the Monarchs to improve their record, Cobb didn't expect a 14-15 record would be good enough to make the 2-A dual team championships, especially when three East Central Conference teams were already shoo-ins.
"We just didn't think there'd be a chance," Cobb said before practice Monday. "But, hey, here we are."
Here the Monarchs are indeed.
Northside was among six of the area's 10 wrestling teams to make the NCHSAA 3-A, 2-A, 1-A dual team playoffs announced Monday — and the Monarchs certainly were the biggest surprise of the lot.
"That's what I thought (after the
The other area teams to make the playoffs were
In the 1-A class, the East Regional final will be Thursday, while in the 3-A and 2-A, another two-match night will be on tap for the right to go to the state finals, which for all classifications will be Saturday.
While Cobb and the Monarchs were surprised they made the playoffs, Croatan coach David Perry was not — at least not after he went home after the Cougars won their 14th straight
"I looked at it and I thought they were definitely in," Perry said. "I didn't see any way they couldn't get in."
And while his Cougars will be making their 14th playoff trip in the school's 15-year existence — Croatan won the state title in 2010 and 2011 while finishing second last year — Perry was pleased for the
"The conference has gotten a heck of a lot better from the days when we used to just go out and the scores were 70-6 and 63-12," he said. "Four or five or six years we didn't have a close match ever (in the conference). Now the matches are closer, and the individual matches are closer. It's lot different than it used to be. I think the conference has gotten a lot better."
Cobb agreed, although he said there were two ways of looking at Northside making the postseason.
"It either says one or two things, either our conference is good or wrestling as a whole in 2-A isn't that good. I'd like to think it's the first. But we've worked hard and we've done well as far as making it," he said. "We're going to pull some miracles to make a run (in the playoffs)."
At Corinth Holders High in Wendell, Northside will take on the
While happy to be in the playoffs, Cobb was also realistic. He knows the Monarchs face a tough road ahead, especially having to forfeit three weight classes (108, 126 and 132, the latter two because of injuries).
"There's some mixed emotions. We know we don't have a state championship team, but we enjoy being in the playoffs," he said. "We've got an average team. We've taken it on the chin in some dual meets.
"But … there's 90-some-odd high schools in
Senior Matt Lafferty, who wrestles at 145, shared both Cobb's surprise as well as some of his mixed feelings heading into the playoffs.
"I was kind of not expecting that," Lafferty said as he laced up his shoes before practice in the high school's cafeteria. "But I guess I'm excited that we're able to go into the playoffs with a wildcard because sometimes those wildcards can do pretty good things."
Whatever happens, both Lafferty and Grayson agreed match action instead of a just a week of practice should help them better prepare for the individual regionals, which begin next week across the state.
"It helps because you get match time, and that really helps," Lafferty said. "You definitely grow as a wrestler when you're actually out there wrestling."

Magnets, a common household object with which we are all familiar, can be surprisingly dangerous, especially to children. If this statement is startling to you, here's what you need to know.
Beginning in the 1970s and 80s, scientists discovered a new type of magnet, the so-called "rare-earth magnet". Made from some of the "rare earth" metals of the periodic table such as "Neodymium", these new magnets are not only the strongest, most powerful magnets known to man (magnetic forces up to ten times that of other magnets), they are also permanent and relatively inexpensive to manufacture. These properties revolutionized the production of many household products, even toys. Basically, magnets we find in everyday items today are no longer made using old-fashioned magnets from a generation ago!
As a pediatric gastroenterologist, I am writing this blog to warn you of the dangers, should these powerful magnets be accidentally swallowed. If more than one magnet is swallowed, or if a magnet is ingested along with another metallic object, the formidable strength of these magnets can attract 2 pieces of bowel to stick together with such great strength, it results in serious injury, even death.

People in every industry manage projects. Today's project management involves much more than just overseeing a few key project parameters. As technology has evolved, so has the use of computer hardware, software, networks and interdisciplinary and global work teams as a part of project management. This is why Robert Morris University created the Master of Science (M.S.) in Information Technology Project Management degree program.
While there are approximately 40 undergraduate and graduate programs in project management in the United States, almost all of them focus tightly on issues relating to scheduling and resource management for military and construction industry projects. Robert Morris University's M.S. in Information Technology Project Management is the first graduate degree program in the nation to focus specifically on IT project management.
The program is designed for I/T professionals and practitioners who either work in or plan to work in a project-oriented environment. The degree will prepare students to apply knowledge and provide leadership in the I/T project management environment.
This degree will prepare you to:
The program also incorporates an applied research/internship component that allows you to apply what you learn in the classroom to real-world situations and problems.

Last week, we told you about our massive dog fighting bust that spanned multiple states and resulted in the removal of 367 dogs and puppies. We gave you an inside look with our on-the-scene video, and now we have a first-person account from the rescue. Below is a guest blog by Tim Rickey, Vice President of the ASPCA's Field Investigations & Response Team, reflecting on what he found during the raid and the terrible fate of dog fighting victims.
When I first walked on the property, I stared across the yard and saw more than 100 dogs, most of them tied to heavy log chains, anchored to dilapidated dog houses. The dogs ranged from old to young, living on a worn dirt ring that likely had seen generations of dogs come and go to a sad fate.
Most were chained nose-to-nose to their neighbors to ensure continuous arousal.
I first thought of what a grim fate many of these dogs would have met without our intervention that day. But as I looked at a young, weeks-old puppy with one glance, and an aging, 10-year-old senior with another, my thoughts quickly turned to the long, lonely and painful journey of a fighting dog's life.
This cycle begins with being chained at such an early age with little to no positive human or animal interaction. The burden continues with heavy chains, often with additional weights, to drag around their entire lives. The constant noise, arousal and anxiousness push them towards aggression to or from their yard mates. If they don't respond, their life may end quickly, but if they do, they have sealed their fate of a long, torturous life.
Their only reprieve from the chain is death or brief release to be tested against another dog, eventually going back to the chain with little attention to their wounds. What follows is weeks of intense training and significant human interaction with the person who will commit the ultimate betrayal and force them into a barbaric battle for entertainment and profit. If they survive, they go back again to the chain: A vicious cycle that could go on for years until these dogs finally have no value or fight left in them and are discarded.
Our responders are still on the ground, so please stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue.
If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA. Thank you for helping us support cruelty victims nationwide.
Thank God for the chance these animals got being rescued. I would like to see harsh laws for those that perpetrate such evil treatment to the animals. It is so appalling that there are animals treated as evidenced.
It takes people with a greater level of humanity to be compassionate to animals and vice versa: it takes a low level of humanity in those that commit such treatment to these helpless creatures. It needs to be stopped and those that do it should be held to account-hopefully not just get away with a slap to the wrist.
At the heart of the Bible belt, God didn't really seem to care much about these poor animals.
After 34 years of military and police service the evil of people does not surprise me. I would have no problem putting these people in the same horrible circumstances but society is weak. End of story.
Leah, you are so right. Thank God for all of the selfless people who work in all capacities to save the lives of lost, injured, abused, lonely, innocent animals who can do nothing to help themselves and are left bereft and without understanding or the blessing of a loving touch or softly spoken word.
There are so many victims in the world and every single one of us needs to do our part, no matter how small it may be.
Leah, I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. Thanks for sharing your caring comment!!
Leah, agree with you! Laws have to change so these evil people will know what they will be facing when caught abusing these innocent animals, that don't even know what is going on when throwed into fights and scared to death. My heart breaks everytime I see this evil abuse!
Why don't they also do something to the people who pay to see these fights.....if they were not doing what they are doing, there would be no money and no need for dog fighting. Make their names public and let them bear the shame of it too.
Such a large collar and chain for a small creature. :( If these people don't pay dearly for what they do on this earth, their souls will certainly pay severe punishment in the after life. No "Rainbow Bridge" will be waiting for them.
Keep on fighting the good fight for our animal friends

Groovy supports the usual if - else syntax from Java
Groovy also supports the ternary operator
switch statement
The switch statement in Groovy is backwards compatible with Java code; so you can fall through cases sharing the same code for multiple matches.
One difference though is that the Groovy switch statement can handle any kind of switch value and different kinds of matching can be performed.
Switch supports the following kinds of comparisons
- Class case values matches if the switchValue is an instanceof the class
- Regular expression case value matches if the string of the switchValue matches the regex
- Collection case value matches if the switchValue is contained in the collection. This also includes ranges too (since they are Lists)
- if none of the above are used then the case value matches if the case value equals the switch value
How switch works
The case statement performs a match on the case value using the isCase(switchValue) method, which defaults to call equals(switchValue) but has been overloaded for various types like Class or regex etc.
So you could create your own kind of matcher class and add an isCase(switchValue) method to provide your own kind of matching.

(NewsUSA) - Yellow, pollen-covered cars and red, itchy eyes. These may be the colorful, tell-tale signs of allergy season, but experts are focusing on raising awareness of the allergy triggers you can't see. The Breathe Easier campaign by Aprilaire, a leader in indoor air quality for more than 60 years, is dedicated to communicating the importance of clean indoor air and whole-home air cleaning as part of an integrated approach to respiratory wellness and allergy-related issues. The medical community is also supporting the critical cause.
"As with all health issues, it's imperative to be proactive, and maintaining clean indoor air is critical to overall personal wellness," said Dr. Clifford Bassett, assistant clinical professor of medicine at The Long Island College Hospital, board-certified allergist and immunologist, and medical director of Allergy and Asthma Care of New York. "Twenty years ago, no one knew about the connection between taking aspirin and mitigating the signs of a heart attack. Now most of us do. That's the exact type of gradual evolution we hope to secure regarding the importance of clean indoor air to respiratory health, especially for patients with respiratory ailments such as allergies and asthma."
According to the 2007 "AirAdvice State of Our Indoor Air" report, 96 percent of homeowners reported having at least one type of indoor-air-quality problem. Multiple indoor airborne allergens and pollutants like dust, pollen, viruses, bacteria, pet dander and mold spores can affect health, comfort and safety and can compromise overall quality of life.
Home air cleaning systems can help clean the air and capture airborne contaminants.
