Foreign Language requirement
Effective with 2011 catalog students, the Foreign Language Core requirement* has been modified for many (but not all**) of the majors and minors in the College.
For certain programs, students in this catalog are permitted to fulfill the requirement by doing the following:
Elementary I and II of the same language, plus one of the following options:
- Intermediate I and II of the same language
- Elementary I and II of a second language
- Any combination of two courses from the following list:
- Intermediate I of the same language
- MCLS 10001 Introduction to Structural Concepts for Language Students
- MCLS 20000 Global Literacy and Cultural Awareness
- MCLS 20091 Seminar: Global Literacy Case Studies
*All students with prior foreign language experience should take the foreign language placement test to determine the appropriate level at which to start. Some students may begin their university foreign language experience beyond the Elementary I level and will complete the requirement with fewer credit hours and fewer courses. This may be accomplished by:
- passing a course beyond the Elementary I through Intermediate II level or
- receiving credit through Credit by Exam (CBE), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), the Advanced Placement (AP) exam or credit through the International Baccalaureate (IB) program; or
- being designated a "native speaker" of a non-English language (consult with the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Office for additional Information) . When students complete the requirement with fewer than 14 credit hours and four courses, they will complete the remaining hours with general electives.
**Some degree programs and minors specifically require Option '1', completing language coursework through Intermediate II. These include majors in American Sign Language (ASL), Classics (CLSS), English (ENG), French (FR), French Translation (FRTR), German (GER), German Translation (GRTR), International Relations (INTL), Latin (LAT), Russian (RUSS), Russian Translation (RUTR), Spanish (SPAN), Spanish Translation (SPTR), Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) and minors in American Sign Language (ASL), Arabic (ARAB), Business French (BFR), Business German (BGER), Business Russian (BRUS), Business Spanish (BSPA), Chinese (CHIN), Classics (CLSS), French (FR), German (GER), Greek (GRE), Italian (ITAL), Japanese (JAPN), Latin (LAT), Russian (RUSS) and Spanish (SPAN).
Please contact the College advising office in 105 Bowman Hall should you have questions (330-672-2062).

We need the paperback version or a bulk price. At $10 a pop this is too expensive to mail around to everyone. When the price comes down to $3 or $4 I'll buy a case and mail them to my favorite Christians. We could also have a "buy a public figure a book" program. I'd chip in an extra $16 to buy my mayor and congress reps a copy.
Oh, I forgot to say: the book is great! Simple, straight-forward arguments that hit all the major flaws and objections.

Finding Quality Jacksonville Solar Panel Installation Service
The movement to go green has hit full momentum for a variety of reasons. Solar energy offers a wide array of benefits. Not only can you get an environmentally safe form of energy that doesn't pollute the air, water, and land but you also get inexpensive energy because your solar energy is free once it's installed. In addition to this, many areas offer major tax breaks, discounts, and rebates when you are installing solar panels.
Jacksonville solar panel installation services aren't hard to find, but you want to make sure you get a hold of high-quality professionals who can make sure that everything goes smoothly with the process. While the energy that comes from solar panels might be free, the actual panels themselves and the setting up of your home's or commercial building's solar system does require a professional. http://sunsolar.energy/florida/
The first step is to look around and see who has the best rankings online when it comes to Jacksonville solar panel installation service. There are many specialists who deal specifically with installing these energy systems and you need to look for independent rating companies to see what other customers have to say. You're not looking for the cheapest, you're looking for 5-star quality work from top-notch provider.
Speed matters, but not as much as an efficient installation that has your entire system wired up perfectly and delivering that awesome inexpensive power right off the bat. The difference in utility bills should be noticeable right off the bat.
Installing solar panels is hard enough in and of itself, and that's even before you set up the ability for your building to accept the solar energy and the system and switch off that to normal energy when the solar reserves run out. This combination is critical and it's not a hard part of installation but it is one that takes professional knowledge and skills to pull off.
You want to make sure that the job is done right so you can take advantage of the gorgeous Florida sunshine. Not only is it great for the emotions and enjoying warm and pleasant winters. Let your pocketbook enjoy the benefits of the sunshine, as well. By harnessing solar power and keeping the costs down by taking advantage of all tax cuts and tax rebates out there, you will be able to make sure you get the most out of the natural weather.
Solar power is a smart long-term move not only because of the positive good will that going green gets you but it's good because of the massive amounts of money you will save in utility bills over time. Keeping expenses down means more of your gross income becomes net income and that means larger profits. No one can complain about that!
Make sure you get a qualified professional to help with the installation and in no time you'll be able to rest easy knowing you're paying less for power and paying it forward for the next generation.

Here is a checklist of changes you'll need to make to a Groovy classic codebase to ensure compatibility with the new Groovy JSR syntax.
Safe navigation
In Classic Groovy we used to use this syntax
Instead of using the arrow operator for safe navigation to avoid NullPointerException, we're now using the ?. operator
Now in the JSR we use this syntax
Parameter separator in the closure syntax
This allows us to use one single token for the separator between the closure in Classic Groovy we used to use this syntax
Now in the JSR we use this syntax
This allows us to use one single token for the separator between the closure parameters and the code in in the closure which works with arbitrarily complex parameter list expressions and default values. e.g.
Property keyword
- property keyword has been replaced with an annotation
Introduction of a def keyword
- local variable declarations and fields currently need to be specified with 'def', a modifier, and/or a type. e.g.
(Syntactically, the new keyword 'def' acts as a modifier like 'public'.)
Default access level of class members
The default access level for members of Groovy classes has changed from "public" to "protected"
Classic Groovy
Now in JSR Groovy
Array creation
- no special array syntax. To make the language much cleaner, we now have a single syntax to work with lists and arrays in the JSR. Also note that we can now easily coerce from any collection or array to any array type
- Be careful: we don't support native multi-dimensional array creation right now.
float and double notation
- float and double literals cannot start with dot. So
This is to avoid ambiguity with things like ranges (1..2) and so forth
Explicit method pointer syntax
In classic Groovy you could access method pointers automatically if there was no java bean property of the given method name.
This often caused confusion; as folks would use a property access to find something and get a method by accident (e.g. typo) and get confused. So now we make getting a method pointer explicit as follows
No 'do ... while()' syntax as yet.
Due to ambiguity, we've not yet added support for do .. while to Groovy
'No Dumb Expression' rule
- no dumb expression rule, so we will catch dumb expressions (where a carriage return has broken the script). e.g.
Markup and builders
- markup / builders will change a little, but the classic syntax still applies. Not sure of the new syntax, but we'll have some kinda start/stop syntax to denote a markup block. Maybe a keyword, like
Strings and GStrings
- single and double quote strings can only span one line; for multiple lines use triple quotes
- heredocs removal - they are kinda ugly anyway . If you want to use them, just use treble quote instead
- escaping of $ inside GStrings must use \$
- A new string definition is also supported which is escaping friendly, and thus particularly friendly for regex notation:
- assert uses comma instead of colon to delimit the two parameter form of assertion statement
return/break/continue semantics in closures
- return/break/continue to behave inside closures like these statements work in other blocks (such as the block on a for() or while() loop. More details here
Integer division
Previously, in Groovy Classic, we used the backward slash as the integer division operator. This operator being confusing with escaping sequences was removed. So instead of \ please use the intdiv() method.
JDK5 for loop not supported
Groovy already supports a fair number of looping mechanisms, and in Classic, both for (... : ...) and for (... in ...) were supported. For the moment, only the for (... in ...) notation is allowed.
Exclusive range
The operator for creating ranges with the upper bound excluded from the range has changed.
Instead of:
The syntax is now:
Introduction of the 'as' keyword
- We can change types of objects with using the 'as' keyword,

HAZARD—Every year there are at least a half dozen different ceremonies to celebrate the men and women who have fought for the freedoms and rights of those living in the United States; however, it seems that oftentimes these same people are forgotten or neglected in day-to-day life. A program started by local county clerks to ensure the little things these men and women want and need to live a normal and happy life are not forgotten has spread across the state in recent months.
Perry County Clerk Haven King said he and the county clerks in Letcher and Leslie counties have been selling homemade birdhouses for a number of years, but the program has just recently been picked up statewide.
"We like to figure out little things that we can do for them. We've put down flooring and some special chairs and exercise equipment and TVs … just things that makes their life better," he said. "We want them (the centers) to be able to have the money for them (the veterans) to do that, and they're able to do that through the sale of these birdhouses."
He said the clerks created a foundation, "Hope for Veterans," into which the birdhouse money goes for the explicit purpose of directly benefiting the residents of long-term care veterans' centers in the state.
"We decide where that money goes," Letcher County Clerk Winston Meade said. "We try to give to all the people. It has to be spent on the residents, not just go out there and add to the building or something. The veterans have to get the money directly."
King said the birdhouse program was started in Letcher County by Meade and his retired father-in-law Arnold Lee Watson in 2008.
"His father-in-law … has been building these things; he's probably built probably 95-98 percent of them. I mean we're talking thousands he's built," King said.
Meade said Watson began building the houses five years ago, not because he thought it would be so lucrative for the centers, but simply because he was curious about the houses themselves.
"I was at a clerks meeting and they had an auction to raise money for the veterans and I bought a birdhouse. My father-in-law and myself sat down and looked at it, took it apart and he said, 'I can do that'," Meade explained.
Meade said he, his son, and Watson began making the houses, made like a normal birdhouse except with a recycled Kentucky license plate bent for the roof, and setting them in the clerks' offices to sell for $20 each with the intention of raising more donations for the veterans.
"The first year we did it we put it in the HAVE (Help a Veteran Everyday) program and the veterans' trust fund and got aggravated because when we asked for something (for the centers) they told us they had to vote on it, and it was money we had raised. So, we started this fund so we could have more control of it."
The clerks' offices collect recycled plates in their counties and are sent plates from across the state. King said the plates not used for the houses are sold to recycling centers and that money is put into the funds donated to the centers.
"These are license plates that a lot of places just put them in the garbage or something, but we recycle them," King said. "Any of the special plates is usually what we like (to use)."
Meade said he was not sure exactly how much money had been raised or how many birdhouses had been made, but was sure it was more than he and Watson had ever expected when the project began.
"This year alone on the birdhouses we have raised $60,000 plus, and that's throughout the state. Last year it was $39,000, so you're seeing $100,000 right there in just two years," Meade said.
Though Watson does not receive any compensation for his work on the birdhouses, Meade said he does not want it and that a thank you is enough for him. In 2010, some of the birdhouses were entered in the crafts division at the Kentucky State Fair where Watson and Meade took 3rd place; this year, Watson received both the Kentucky State Congressional and Senate Citation of Merit awards for his work with the houses.
"He's got all kinds of honors for doing it and that's all he gets out of it is somebody saying thank you," Meade said. "He works it like a job. He works like five or six days a week, daylight until dark … and it's just worked out perfect for him."
King said now the Leslie County Clerk has begun selling kits for the houses so anyone interested in building one on their own can.
"I just appreciate the people that, we call it a donation, I appreciate the people that buy those and it's just a big, big plus," he said.

SINGING schoolchildren joined thousands of flag-waving revellers as the Olympic Torch's Cumbrian odyssey reached Ambleside.
Crowds began gathering from mid-afternoon as anticipation mounted ahead of the historic moment.
Greeted by cheers and applause, torch bearer Tom Wright, 15, of St Bees, passed the Olympic flame onto Windermere's Stephanie Booth as it reached Borrans Park at around 6.20pm.
The beaming 14-year-old Lakes School pupil, nominated by her head teacher, told the Gazette it was the 'best moment' of her life.
"I was quite nervous but very excited," she said.
"Everyone was really friendly and happy.
"It's been the best experience."
Sports-mad Stephanie is a keen swimmer and participant of triathlon and cross-country events and will compete alongside her sister in this weekend's Great North Swim.
Her proud mother Christine said: "I didn't sleep last night, I was so excited for her.
"I'm just really unbelieveably proud of her.
"The last week has been a little bit overwhelming.
"She was determined to be involved in the Olympics and this could be the closest she gets."
Spectators Gordon Allatt and Norma Pearson made the trip from Northampton especially to see the torch.
And Mr Allatt was thrilled when he got to touch it.
"I'll never wash this hand again," said an emotional Mr Allatt.
"The Olympics is one of those things that brings the country together and makes us feel good."
Mrs Pearson added: "I think it's absolutely great and I shall be watching the Games every day while they're on."
Children from Ambleside, Hawkshead, Langdale and Coniston primary schools performed a song especially-assembled for the occasion as the torch made its way to Waterhead to board the Bowness-bound vessel, the Tern.
It was helped on its way by a flotilla, christened Brathay's 'whalers', as other boats sounded their horns in tribute.
Marj Waddecar, of Ambleside, who was looking on, said: "I was born in the year Britain last held the Olympics so I thought I ought to come down and see the torch this time.
"It's good we have got the Olympics and let's just hope there's a bit of a spin-off for tourism in areas like this."
Visitor Julianne Harlow, of Brighton, added: "It's a really big event that we won't be seeing in this country again and, rightly or wrongly, a lot of money has been invested in it."
People were invited to write goodwill messages about the Games for inclusion in an eye-catching yellow 'balloon tree'.
The Kendal Windows on Art project was led by Pam Williamson, who said: "I have worked with older people, schoolchildren and members of the public, asking them to send their messages to welcome the torch from Ambleside to London and the rest of the world."
The balloons were given to children after the torch passed through and the messages will now go on display at Ambleside Library before featuring in a special opening ceremony at this year's Ambleside Sports.
The Borrans Park festivities were organised in part by Barry Porter, of Rufty Tufty's, Ambleside.
Mr Porter said: "I thought it would be a really positive thing for Ambleside - it really profiles the area.
"Anything that builds up Ambleside is great for local businesses and local people. The kids are really enjoying it."
An Olympic Torch relay celebration, titled On the Night Shift, presented by Kendal Arts International, takes place on The Glebe, Bowness, tonight.
STUDENTS from around the globe are making Ambleside their home after enrolling on the University of Cumbria's first ever international course.
Outdoor enthusiasts from countries including China, Australia and Germany are among the 17 students spending the Autumn term in the Lake District as part of their masters in Transcultural European Outdoor Studies.
The qualification is the first of its kind and is being run by the university, Germany's University of Marburg and Norway's School of Sport Sciences.
Course leader Dr. Christopher Loynes said: "Within this time frame, our ambition is to make the course a coveted choice for people interested in pursuing a career in the outdoor field. We also aim to develop tight links with non-European universities and make the course truly global. Eventually, we plan to make the course financially self-sustaining through the charging of student fees."
The course will be funded by the European Commission for the next five years and once students have left Ambleside in the New Year they will spend their next two terms at the other institutions.
While some of the students area already experienced in outdoor studies, for many this is a new area of knowledge and expertise.
Katerina Pata from Greece, who previously studied to be a pre-school teacher, said:"I couldn't find a relevant masters course in Greece and applied for courses elsewhere in Europe. I liked this course because I get a chance to go to three different countries and learn various approaches to the subject. My goal is to make the concept of outdoor learning more prominent in my country and create my own outdoor kindergarten."
However, others come to the course with a lot of experience like Wilson Wai Yin Cheung who is a former president of the mountaineering association of Hong Kong.
The students, who come from 15 countries, will be living in university accommodation in Ambleside and learning the theoretical knowledge and practical qualifications necessary to be successful outdoor industry professionals.
During their first semester they will undertake two week-long hiking expeditions, one in the Scottish Highlands and one in the Lake District and a week-long canoeing trip.
TWO thirds of the red kites released in Grizedale Forest last summer have survived the harsh winter.
Wildlife rangers believe that around 20 of the 30 birds released in the Forestry Commission's three-year re-introduction programme made it through the winter and are still in Cumbria, or nearby counties. Between five and eight of the birds are believed to be living around Grizedale and the Rusland Valley, with another three to five inhabiting the Kirkby Moor area near Ulverston.
Four more Grizedale red kites have been spotted by RSPB experts at feeding stations in Dumfries and Galloway – the furthest known movement is by the bird tagged as number four, which has flown 120km north west into Scotland.
"The birds are doing pretty much exactly as we expected, which is very encouraging," said Iain Yoxall, Forestry Commission wildlife ranger. "We are more confident that these birds will make it to adults now they have made it through a harsh winter. Sadly we lost a few birds but that is natural and why we have to release the numbers that we did."
The 30 red kites released from a secret location in Grizedale Forest in August last year had coloured tags on each wing. An orange tag on their left wing shows they are from Grizedale, and blue tags on their right wings indicate that they were released in 2010. Some birds were also fitted with radio transmitters to help with monitoring.
Mr Yoxall, who has been following the birds' movements around Cumbria, said the help he has received from the public had been invaluable. "I have been radio tracking the birds but sightings from members of the public have been a fantastic help and greatly appreciated. This has been very important because it helps us find the birds and backs up our radio tracking results to give us a more robust picture of their movements. We hope that the public will continue letting us know when and where they make sightings of the red kites."
This year's birds will hatch in May and are likely to be released into Grizedale Forest in August. The red kites being introduced into Grizedale are the product of a reintroduction programme that took place in Northamptonshire in the 1980s.
Red kites were almost eradicated from the UK following changes in farming practices and human persecution between the 16th and 19th centuries. But they managed to cling on in Wales, and their numbers recovered slowly thanks to the actions of local conservationists

Healthy, Easy Super Bowl Party Recipes
Did you know that Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest day for food consumption after Thanksgiving? Super Bowl parties often involve finger foods, a lot of people sharing communal dishes, and treats that are left out for a long period of time—all which can lead to foodborne illness, also known as food poisoning. Foodborne illness affects about 1 in 6 Americans (48 million people) each year, resulting in approximately 128,000 hospitalizations and an estimated 3,000 deaths.
The best host wants to make sure that foodborne illness is not invited to the party, so follow these simple rules for food safety. Thoroughly CLEAN and wash kitchen surfaces, utensils and hands before preparing or serving food and wash all produce including produce you plan to peel, such as avocados. SEPARATE raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat foods like fruit and vegetables. COOK meat and poultry to the right temperature by using a food thermometer. CHILL raw and prepared foods within two hours.
For serving, remember to keep cold foods chilled to 40°F or below and hot foods heated to 140°F or above. Instead of using large serving bowls, serve chili, guacamole, salsa or dips in smaller containers, and offer serving spoons and small plates to reduce the opportunity for guests to eat directly from the bowls. Make several small containers in advance and keep them chilled in the refrigerator. Replace the serving bowls with fresh ones throughout the party and discard any perishable food left out at room temperature for more than two hours.
Try these healthy recipes for your Super Bowl Feast this year!
Enjoy the game!

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To screen for and monitor liver disorders, such as cirrhosis. To help detect certain rare genetic disorders in sick babies and to avoid brain damage in babies who are markedly jaundiced.
When to Get Tested?
If your doctor thinks you have symptoms or signs of liver damage, liver disease, bile duct blockage, haemolytic anaemia or a liver-related metabolic problem.
Sample Required?
In adults, a blood sample from a vein in the arm; in newborns, a blood sample from a heel-prick
Test Preparation Needed?
No test preparation is necessary. The blood sample should ideally be protected from bright light before analysis.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Bilirubin is an orange-yellow pigment found in bile. The normal life-span of red blood cells in the circulation is 120 days. When they are broken down the pigment giving them their characteristic red colour, haemoglobin, (whose role is to carry oxygen to the tissues) is converted to unconjugated bilirubin. Only small amounts of bilirubin are normally present in the blood. Unconjugated bilirubin is not water soluble so it binds to a protein in the blood which then carries it to the liver. Within the liver, each unconjugated bilirubin molecule has a sugar molecule attached to it to form water soluble conjugated bilirubin. This is secreted into bile and carried to the intestine where bacteria break it down, eventually producing the brown pigment that colours normal stools.
How is the sample collected for testing?
In adults, blood is collected by needle from a vein in the arm. In newborns, a few drops of blood are usually collected from a heel-prick. Sometimes in newborns bilirubin is estimated by placing an instrument on the skin (a transcutaneous bilirubin meter).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is necessary. The blood sample should ideally be protected from bright light before analysis.

It is here, people! August 1 is the official kickoff of the 2012 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge, when shelters across the country will engage in a friendly, three-month competition to save more animals' lives.
What can you do to help? Well, get out and adopt, of course!
This weekend, the 50 shelter contestants are pulling out all the stops to get the party started right. From all-night adoption parties to special promotions (hello, free cats!), these events are sure to get the public pumped up to adopt a pet and help their local shelters find more pets more homes.
The animals are counting on you!
For a full list of festivities near you, please visit our 2012 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge events page!
And don't forget to follow @ASPCALive as we bring you all the minute-by-minute kick-off action this weekend. Join the conversation by using the hashtag #100KChallenge and help your favorite shelter find homes for even more animals!
I bought the most amazing dog from the ASPCA and someone confiscated this dog and gave him to Hollywood. I know who stole my dog his name was John Gilbert, he was on the Home Owners Board where I used to live and he had keys to everyone's apartment. He left the board but kept the keys and the people on the board stole my things, or my landlord Sandy Busick (something like that) and I saw my dog on television. I tried to get my son's dog back but you had already taken my dog. My neighbor was Brian Beauchamp who lived next door and took advantage of me and left me with a $400 telephone bill, which I had to pay. The second thing, is I will get rid of Rachael Ray because I will own the television station. Doris Day had a song the real title of this song was Porque Sera, Maid in Manhattan wanted the serum for a lot of 'drugs' my family developed and so Eisenhower said it was like taking candy from a baby and took control of the drugs my family created. Ike went after my family and stole the drugs.
I wish next time you do an animal adoption challenge, you insist that all adoptions must be paid for. Shelters are just giving away these dogs in hopes of winning the $100k you are offering. While I know your heart is in the right place, these dogs are now in harms way. 3 dogs that were given away to one family by the Bakersfield shelter 2 days ago are now up on Craigslist being sold for $. God only knows whats happened to the other dogs that are being given away. Many people sell them as bait dogs or to research labs. Isnt this defeating your purpose Rachael? THINK THINK THINK about this next time. Shelter are only seeing $$$ signs right now. I truly feel like you may be doing more harm than good with this contest.
Here is the posting I just came across for the 3 dogs: We have 3 dogs that we got from the Bakersfield shelter for our kids They were free yesterday so we were going to try it but come to find out our daughter is terrified of dogs. They are very sweet, loving, playful. VERY SMART. Trains very easily. They are great with our kids and other dogs. Very playful. Theye just needs a good home. We just ask a $50 re homing fee each.
This is not okay!
A while back I noticed a commercial that was similar to an episode of animal cops in which there was the tragic story, how they help and a happy ending showing a happy face waiting for its furever family. Typically I change the channel (as do many people I know) when your depressing commercials come on with the sad face of shaking puppies. People really do care, but don't want to see this in their everyday lives and they change the channel or move on to more pleasant things. It is just too sad to let it in. I have heard people say that it is just too depressing to go to the shelter to adopt a dog. I work with a rescue that pulls from high-kill shelters and it is quite an emotional rollercoaster to be exposed to even the small part that I am of the tradgedy that is how our society treats its animals and the endless caring of the rescue and shelter workers that put into saving them. So many people want to do what is good and right but they are afraid of being exposed to the bad. We all know millions of animals are killed each year, but what can be done to stop it?
Did you ever notice how when the reports about an animal saved from tragedy, they get flooded with calls for adoption of that specific animal? I think you should you consider this in your advertising. Highlight the positive, the actual helping your organization does and I'm betting more people will want to get involved. Show the shelters caring for the animals and show their happy faces. I honestly think more people will hear your message like that and not change the channel.
I guess that's just my 2 cents on the matter.
I agree that those commercials are just awful. They make me cry. Interestingly enough, after seeing them for a while, I couldn't take it and now make a regular monthly donation to ASPCA. I no longer feel so horrible when I see the commercial (although I do still change the channel).
Pity that those commercials are less than honest, but they are designed to tug at your heartstrings to open your purse strings.
Blatantly! Shelters are bad, no matter how you cut it, but I don't have much faith in aspca or hsus doing much about it.
I included both becasue they both run those ads. aspca maybe does some for animals in shelters, but hsus I don't believe does much for animals in shelters.
...simply make a small donation monthly and then you know you ARE DOING something to help. I agree these are so, so sad. Hard to watch - for sure. Do I turn the channel - yes! But, I pull the dollars I can afford to give every month out of my checking account and directly to the ASPCA! IT all makes a difference Bless all you critter lovers!
YEA! Ive adopted a wonderful kitty!
Congratulations to you and your new kitty - you're both lucky :-)!
I agree with the comments regarding free pets. I have rescued 2 dogs recently, both were free, but came from an organization that I have worked with for years. They know me and I know them and they know my other pets - past and present. But I firmly believe pet owners should pay a fee, provide information on their property/home, their ability to provide the highest quality food, ensure they are willing to pay for vaccinations, licensing, and overall understand the responsibilities of pet ownership. I also believe they should be willing to attend one or two education sessions regards to responsibilities of pet ownership, pet training, basic medical care, nutrition and options available in the event they do have to give up the pet. A booklet should go home with every new pet owner with same information and they should be encouraged to join a blog or some community connection to other pet owners. Reinforced education on pet owner responsibilities is very important. Many pets die or suffer due to being left in hot cars in the summer, not secure enough fencing, riding in the back of a truck where their paws can be burned from the truck bed/liner in hot weather. They can also jump out, be strangled or be thrown from the truck in the event of a sudden stop. These are things too many owners do not think about. The other is proper food. A good, high quality dog food will seriously improve the health of any pet. I see too many people just grab a 50 lb bag of the cheapest food they can find, not realizing how damaging it is to the pet. The pet will then develop serious allergies, intense shedding, and overall poor health. If you can't afford a decent diet for your pet, you shouldn't have one. Vet care - can they afford and will they pay for medical treatment, regular vaccinations, teeth cleaning if needed? Too many people just want to euthanize a pet when an illness or accident happens to avoid vet bills. My rescued Lab was given up due to his age. He was 10 and the owners had a new puppy, did not want to deal with his aging, possible medical problems and eventually his passing, both financially and emotionally. He is a wonderful dog, in fabulous health, acts like a puppy most of the time and I am sad that his previous owners could just dump him like that. Pets are for the long haul folks not the latest fad, childhood experience (experiment). As with everything else in our society, too many people view animals as disposable. This applies to dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, reptiles, rabbits and everything other species that are acquired and then dumped when the curiousity fads and reality of pet ownership sinks in. I am the proud owner of a rescued aquatic turtle and hamster, in addition to my 4 cats and 4 dogs. The turtle and hamster both came to me when neighbor children grew out of their "pet phase". Many areas of our country are seeing an explosion of wild exotic pets like boa constrictors and other reptiles that someone no longer wanted and dumped. Rabbits are often sold at Easter time and then quickly killed, dumped or end up in shelters just weeks after Easter. I would say that when an adoption event happens, the people who want to adopt should have to wait several days before actually taking the pet rather than they have buyers remorse and the pet ends up in a shelter again shortly after or a worse fate. Pet adoption events are often like an impulse buy. These type of adoptions are not going to be successful. I know you will say that it is important to provide homes right away to as many pets as possible, but you may just be recycling some animals or the new owner may be too embarrassed to bring the pet back and it suffers a terrible fate. Family education to those adopting I think is also important. How to take care of pet, training of the pet, nutrition and basic rules like never take a pet where they will be left in a car in 90 degree weather.
Kudos to you Patricia on your wonderful comment. You are so right about these adoption fairs. I have 3 beautiful cats that I love and adore. Two of them I got out of the free pets ad in my local paper and the third one found me. Socks climbed up my back stairs and crawled up my screen door, looked in and wow I was in love. She smelled like oil and was sooo small. I took her to my vet she was healthy, hungry and cold but ok. Your comment should be a part of every ad for adoptions. No truer words have been said.

Portugal. Also unbeatable for its beaches
White, red, yellow rocky, for surfers, for families – a rich hinterland and one of Europe's most characterful capital cities.
White, red, yellow rocky, for surfers, for families – a rich hinterland and one of Europe's most characterful capital cities.
Holidays in Portugal take you to Lisbon's Manueline (Portuguese Gothic) Belm Tower and Porto's port wine caves. And with flights to Faro you'll be challenging your game on the Algarve's championship golf courses, tasting crisp green wines, fresh seafood and sweet custard tarts, and meeting Portugal's hospitable people.
Enjoy cheap holidays on the sandy beaches of Portugal's Estoril Coast and play golf in the Algarve. Or hire a car in Faro and go where the mood takes you. Whether that's exploring the craggy coastline of Alentejo in the south-west or the lush vineyards of the Douro in the north, Portugal has it all.
Take in Lisbon's seafaring history, Manueline architecture and Portugal's melancholic fado music. Go on a port wine-tasting holiday in Porto or visit Guimaraes' castle where Portugal's first king, Dom Afonso Henriques, was born in 1110. Make a spiritual retreat to Baroque churches in Portugal's religious capital Braga or visit the shrine at Fatima during your Portugal holiday.
Hike through the flower-filled mountains of the Peneda Gers National Park on your holidays in Portugal or cruise along the Douro River through port-wine growing country. Surf off Guincho beach near Lisbon and walk alongside mountain canals on Portugal's island of Madeira.

I've just written another response to Letter to a Christian Nation.
In it, I document your intellectual dishonesty, starting with the following big lie you keep telling:
" Half of the American population believes that the universe is 6,000 years old."
The evidence suggests that, at a maximum, only 18% of Americans, not 50% as Harris recklessly claims, might arguably be said to believe the universe is only 6,000 years old. And even that 18% might not completely agree with the 6,000 year figure. ...
For the entire article which demonstrates how you completely misrepresent the Gallup Polling information, as well as the percentage of Americans who are "young creationists" , you can go to http://www.lettertoanatheist.com/biglie.html
For the entire book you may go to http://www.lettertoanatheist.com
I hereby challenge you to a debate. When and where ?

Lockheed CEO warns of increased government costs from sequestration
Wednesday - 6/20/2012, 5:35am EDT
As federal contractors try to figure out how to brace for the impact of sequestration in January, one thing about the potential $1 trillion in cuts over 10 years is becoming clearer. The government will end up paying more for products and services currently under contract.
Robert Stevens, the retiring-Lockheed Martin CEO, said Tuesday one consequence of sequestration that few have talked much about is vendors will likely ask the government for an "equitable adjustment" to their contracts.
"Many people have stretched throughout our supply chain to lower their costs and provide the most affordable prices for this high technology equipment," he said during a company media day in Arlington, Va. "They've done that with an expectation that within reasonable boundaries what the future business environment is likely to look like. If sequestration occurs in January, which again is the law, those expectations upon that cost and pricing structure that have been built will be completely off the table."
Robert Stevens, outgoing CEO, Lockheed Martin
He said the Defense Department or civilian agencies haven't given them any idea or hint to how they would modify contracts. But if sequestration occurs, every agency would ask their vendors to reduce costs.
"When we have a modification of our contracts, we will rephrase and reschedule, in our case, up to 40,000 suppliers," Stevens said. "My sense is, those 40,000 suppliers will say that is a business disruption and we will provide a claim to you for the adverse cost impact for the disruption in that business. It has happened before even when individual contracts are modified."
Little communication from the government
Stevens added he has not heard any discussion of how those requests would be managed by the government. It's also unclear to Lockheed or their suppliers how this process could work, and that puts everyone under a lot of pressure.
Lockheed Martin is the government biggest vendor by total sales with more than $19.6 billion in 2012 and more than $39.9 billion in 2011, according to USASpending.gov.
Spread this uncertainty and request for contract modifications across every vendor and all of a sudden, agencies will be paying more because of how agencies and vendors develop acquisitions.
"When we early on are working with our government counterparts to conceptualize how a program is going to unfold, volume, quantity, timing and capabilities are all part of that," he said. "Very clearly, as we move through programs when that volume is reduced in many cases we and our suppliers have provided an element of capital investment to produce a rate over a period of time. When we don't produce at that rate, we've apparently over applied the assets which drives up the unit costs. So that is a phenomenon that I think is broadly observed across all platforms throughout our industry. It is a concern and it is an element that drives up the cost of the programs."
He said any change to that plan has a snowball effect across all tiers of the supply chain and back up to the government.
Beat the sequestration drum
Stevens continued to beat the "sequestration is bad" drum, just like DoD and other administration officials. He said planning for what amounts to a 10 percent across-the-board cut for agencies can only be "done in the abstract and lacks clarity."
Christopher Kubasik, incoming CEO, Lockheed Martin
He said Lockheed has some big brush strokes knowing that sequestration is the law and they will comply with it.
"The single greatest challenge faced by our company and our industry for which we have no good response is sequestration," Stevens said. "The near term horizon is completely obscured by a fog of uncertainty. With only 196 days remaining, we have no insight as to how sequestration, this law, will be implemented, which programs will be curtailed, which sites will be closed, which technologies will be discontinued, which contracts will be reformed, which suppliers, particularly our small business participants who are so vital to our supply chain, will be impacted and certainly most tragically, how many people are going to be affected, how many dedicated employees are going to lose their jobs and how many families are going to be disrupted?"
Stevens said what Lockheed and other vendors do know is they have responsibilities under the law.
"The Worker Adjustment and Renotification Act is in place and requires people like us to when we are going to engage in either in plant closing or significant lay- offs to notify workers," he said. "It's part of the standards that we are held to and therefore that establishes a framework where we are compelled to start talking to employees, 123,000 of them and 40,000 suppliers, which you might guess all of whom want to know, 'Will I have a job in January?' and 'Will I have a contract in January?' The answer from us today is 'We're not clear about that.'"
Reducing costs without sequestration
Lockheed has taken several steps over the last year in recognition of the changing federal spending environment. The aerospace giant is trying to reduce its costs whether sequestration happens or not.
"Things we have publicly announced like closing the Eagan, Minn., facility. We are doing a lot of consolidation in the Fort Worth, Texas, area. We have numerous facilities that are being consolidated in Montgomery County, Md.. We have numerous leases off I-270 we are consolidating," said Chris Kubasik, who will take over as CEO when Stevens retires at the end of the year. "That's the plan we have in place based on our business outlook and drive to continue to be more efficient. If sequestration would occur, there would be additive numbers to that at locations yet to be identified."
The company already has reduced 1.5 million square feet of office space and would like to reduce another 2.9 million square feet by the end of 2014.
But Stevens said the company would not cut across the board in the face of sequestration, but some of the things it had been doing, would be accelerated or increased.
"Our workforce is 18 percent smaller than it was just three years ago and the pace of our hiring has slowed considerably," Stevens said. "And in each of our programs we know program execution is critical to delivering affordable products and services to our customers."
Analysis: Sequestration would drive contractors over 'fiscal cliff'
Vendors start to see contracts slowing down with sequestration looming
Sequestration may hit defense industry harder than troops

Choosing foods wisely is essential to a healthy, active lifestyle:
Atkins is all about proactive nutrition - providing you the information and inspiration you need to take charge of your health and enjoy your active life to the fullest. The Atkins Nutritional Approach is made up of seven nutrition principles that are designed to help you make the right food choices, so you can reach your goals.
What Is The Atkins Diet?
Atkins is the original leading low-carb weight loss plan that provides quick, effective, satisfying and balanced weight loss based on an extensive body of scientific research. The Atkins Diet is designed to "flip the body's metabolic switch" from burning carbs to burning fat. Graduated carb introduction limits blood sugar and insulin spikes, which cause hunger and cravings, and result in overeating and weight gain.
Atkins has the additional application of being the weight loss plan of choice for the millions of people who have a reduced ability to process carbohydrates - those who have varying levels of "carbohydrate intolerance."
The Atkins plan consists of four phases, with gradual increased carb intake for each phase. The plan allows an individual to find his or her perfect carbohydrate balance that is ideal for their personal weight loss or maintenance. Atkins dieters are motivated to change and maintain their eating patterns with delicious and healthy food options.

Colorado Standards of Conduct in Government, Initiative 41 (2006)
Amendment 41, or the Standards of Conduct in Government Amendment, appeared on Colorado's 2006 ballot and was approved by voters, receiving 63% of the vote. The measure prohibits elected officials or their immediate family members from accepting gifts and restricts former elected officials from working as a paid lobbyist for two years after leaving office.
The measure was a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment.
The official ballot title read:
An amendment to the Colorado constitution concerning standards of conduct by persons who are professionally involved with governmental activities, and, in connection therewith, prohibiting a public officer, member of the general assembly, local government official, or government employee from soliciting or accepting certain monetary or in-kind gifts; prohibiting a professional lobbyist from giving anything of value to a public officer, member of the general assembly, local government official, government employee, or such person's immediate family member; prohibiting a statewide elected officeholder or member of the general assembly from personally representing another person or entity for compensation before any other such officeholder or member for a period of two years following departure from office; establishing penalties for a breach of public trust or inducement of such a breach; creating a five-member independent ethics commission to hear ethics complaints, to assess penalties, and to issue advisory opinions on ethics issues; and specifying that the measure shall not apply to home rule jurisdictions that have adopted laws concerning matters covered by the measure.
Coloradans for Clean Government was the group supporting the amendment.
Supporters argued that the credibility and integrity of the political process is damaged when public officials accept gifts from lobbyists. Amendment 41 strengthens public confidence by reducing actual or perceived conflicts of interest that arise when public officials accept gifts such as tickets to sporting events, meals, and lodging.
Proponents also stated that Amendment 41 eliminates the temptation for elected officials to make decisions based on the potential of future employment.
Supporters argued that an independent forum was needed where citizens can file legitimate concerns about possible ethics violations by their elected representatives. The ethics commission created by Amendment 41 is charged with enforcing standards of conduct for state and local public officials and employees and provides a central venue for filing ethics complaints from across the state.[1]
Groups opposing the amendment included Hospitality Issue Pac and NO on 41.
Oppoents said that Amendment 41 does not belong in Colorado's constitution and may have unintended and undesirable consequences. Elected officials can already be investigated for ethics violations, recalled, or removed from office when they run for reelection. They argued that current law already prohibited state elected officials from receiving money in connection with their public service, and many other gifts worth more than $50 must already be publicly disclosed.
Amendment 41 would make gifts, even between any family members of most public employees, potentially subject to a politically motivated investigation that would include subpoena powers. They warned that it would prohibit most government employees, including entry-level local and county government employees from accepting or receiving educational scholarships for themselves or their dependent children.
Opponents also argued that private companies should be allowed to hire the person they believe will best represent their interests, even if it is a former legislator.
Opponents further argued that the commission may not be able to objectively judge the ethics of government officials since its members are appointed by—and may actually include—government officials. They added that procedures already existed to address ethics complaints at every level of government in Colorado. Establishing a new commission adds unnecessary bureaucracy.[1]
The measure appeared on the November 2006 ballot and was approved by voters, receiving 63% of the vote.
