We're excited to announce today that the ASPCA has dedicated $25 million to assist animals in need in Los Angeles, California in a multi-year effort. Like many communities, Los Angeles faces immense challenges related to homeless animals—roughly half of the animals that enter L.A. area shelters do not find homes. We plan to build on the strong foundation created by Los Angeles' animal welfare community, working closely with local groups to provide critical services to save lives and help keep families and their pets together.
The ASPCA's efforts in L.A. will include five key programs:
- Spay/neuter: The ASPCA will operate a spay/neuter facility for animals owned by South L.A. residents, as well as animals sheltered at the South Los Angeles Animal Care Center–Chesterfield Square facility. Procedures performed at the facility will be fully subsidized.
- Subsidies for local rescue groups: We'll provide funding to subsidize fees incurred by local rescue groups when transferring animals from the Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City shelter system into their facilities or networks.
- Animal relocation: The ASPCA will kick start a relocation program to move animals from L.A. metropolitan area shelters to communities where they'll have better chances of being adopted.
- Safety net programs: These programs are designed to keep animals in their homes by addressing the needs of pet parents with scarce resources and limited access to critical services.
- ASPCA grant funding: We'll provide funding annually to local partners for intervention programs, spay/neuter programs and medical care for animals in low income areas.
In addition to Los Angeles City Animal Services and Los Angeles County Animal Control, the ASPCA is collaborating with Best Friends Animal Society in support of their No-Kill Los Angeles initiative and local animal welfare organizations including Downtown Dog Rescue, The Amanda Foundation, Stray Cat Alliance, Fix Nation, The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, Found Animals Foundation, Bark Avenue and others.
We're looking forward to this exciting new venture on the West Coast, and we can't wait to help countless animals in need in the L.A. area.
How can our veterinary hospital….ken jones animal hospital..1708 17ht st. santa monica, ca. 90404…310 477 4400…310 824 2588,,PARTICIPATE IN THE SPAY & NEUTER ETC PROGRAM FOR LOS ANGELES….WE ARE OPEN 7 FULL DAYS A WEEK.
Please start with low income communities like East Los Angles. So many strays that I see wandering the streets......You need to also set-up mobile units to go into these areas and pick-up these animals that are suffering. South Los Angeles, El Monte, so many areas with HUGE homeless animals is the streets everyday. This looks like a 3rd world country ...START with PICKING UP all these stray in streets....Don't wait for people to call you!!..they won't. Most of these citizens don't care!!
We all need to join together and help out, volunteer and get this strays out of the streets. We need to educate our low income communities that having a pet is a great responsibility and not a toy. They feel too and if everyone in the community would help out it would make it easier to tackle the problem. I Love my furry 4 legged friends. There's been many times over the years that I've rescued and used my money to have them neuter/spay or I'll get vouchers as well as getting them vaccines. providing a roof to stay while I look for someone to adopt them
There is a huge problem with strays in Desert Hot Springs. The main breed on the streets is pit bulls, also there mixes. I have told the city's leadership repeatedly that the single thing they could do to improve the status of the city is to eliminate the stray problem. The police have said that whenever they go on a raid they know they will be greeted by pits, it's just a question of how many. DHS is pit bull headquarters.
Please, please look into SEACCA Downey. They stopped reporting shelter statistics on their website and are killing adoptable animals on the 2nd day the become available. They operate in LA County and contract with cities such as South Gate, Lakewood, La Palma, and others. They cover a huge area and population and they don't have the facility to manage the number of animals that enter their doors. Their animals are sick and they don't receive the basic care that is required by state law.
Glad you called this to their attention. Hope they listen to u.
Devore is known as a HIGH KILL shelter. The animals don't stand a chance there. It may take a change of administration there to move to NO KILL, which is being done successfully in many shelters around the country. The animals need time, to be fostered in temporary homes, to allow them to find an appropriate home. We are responsible for these animals' welfare. Healthy, adoptable animals should NEVER be murdered.
She is right - I lived in Downey for 15 years and their facilities are totally inadequate for the number of animals they process - it is NOT a NO KILL facility and they will euthanize animals faster than just about any other shelter - I almost lost one of my cats and one of my dogs becuz of their euthanizing procedures-- Downey animals need your help just to have a chance to survive - especially the cats
Thank Heavens!! this is long overdue. Makes me so sad that so much money is required for this. What is wrong with people! Pets are family not possessions.

Do you have a photo that could go here? Submit it for this profile by emailing us!
|Candidate for
|U.S. House, New York, District 10
|State University of New York
|Graduate School of Binghamton University
|Campaign website
Chan holds a bachelors in Finance from State University of New York and a masters in Public Administration from the Graduate School of Binghamton University.[2]
Campaign Themes
Chan lists several of his campaign themes on his website:[3]
- Foster good governance with increase of transparency, integrity and accountability
- Promote a performance-based government truly for the people and by the people, by demanding higher standards of
public administration with managerial effectiveness, efficiency, and responsiveness
Fiscal and Economic Policies
- Lower taxes, as fundamentals, to save all Americans, the hardworking people and their families from being pressed by
the tax burdens, thereby generate more revenues for the government from the increase of disposable income and purchasing power, stimulate our economy and decrease deficits
- Favor 'small government' by reducing unproductive workforce/staffing, however, support expansion of federal
spending on infrastructural projects known as capital investment as means of promoting economic growth, as viewed by economists
- Support appropriate tax cuts/tax relief, as the Bush Administration did in 2001 and 2003, thereby creating jobs, bringing
economic and social stability, and boosting economic growth and prosperity
- Provide tax incentives for businesses to enable more investments and hiring, thereby getting more people back to work.
Michael Chan has been a believer in supply-side economics known as Reagonomics in the 1980's
- Restore fiscal discipline, lower government expenditures, consolidate and/or slash redundant agencies/programs, thereby
cutting wasteful spending
- For radical erase of budget deficit, balancing the budget is a legislative priority. Michael will support a Balancing Budget
Amendment to the Constitution mandating a balanced budget with a debt ceiling, thereby lowering national debt and freeing future generations from debts
Foreign Policy and National Security
- Prioritize the best interest of the American people at home and abroad
- Stop undue international aids, thereby lowering national debts/federal deficits, leading to job creation, and thus reducing
the increased poverty
- Foster global harmonies by implementing and developing foreign policy with more effective diplomacy and tactics,
thereby leading to national security and world peace
- Maintain and develop positive international relations and stronger ties with American allies, thereby realizing world peace thus lowering the costs and effects of homeland security
International Trade, Banking/Financial Services, and Commerce
- Take our geo-politic advantages to create more free-trade zones with more nations, like NAFTA established in 1993,
thereby competing the expanding European Union (EU) and lowering our trade deficits (this statement formerly presented in the Platform page since October 14, 2011 or earlier)
- Increase exports of goods and services, in terms of the GDP, thereby erasing trade deficits
- Provide a competitive edge with less stringent regulations for American bankers and entrepreneurs over foreign
competitors, thereby creating more tax revenue and lowering the federal deficit
- Favor laissez-faire market and preserve a climate of increased productivity and reasonable profitability for both large and
small businesses, in fair practices without compromising consumer rights protections."
Chan ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing New York's 10th District. He sought the nomination on the Republican and Conservative Party tickets. He was unopposed in the primary and faced Democratic 8th district incumbent Jerrold Nadler in the November general election.[4] He was defeated by Jerrold Nadler on November 6, 2012.[5]
- See also: New York State Assembly elections, 2010
Chan was uncontested in the September 14 Republican primary. Chan was defeated by incumbent Richard Gottfried (D) in the general election on November 2.[6]

The elongated coupé-style roof contour line, the low greenhouse and the sweep of the high beltline are the key design features of its distinctive profile, as is the gentle downward slope of the roof line, which makes for significantly more headroom than in the four-door coupé.

Nothing says Christmas like a stocking full of watermelons — if it's July.
A truckload of melons awaited visitors to the annual Christmas in July event Thursday at the entrance to the Doubletree by Hilton on the New Bern waterfront.
The melons, which filled a truck donated by TrentCadillac Buick GMC, were offered to any visitor who brought food or a donation for Religious Community Services.
It's the third year that Christmas in July organizer Thea Kincaid has incorporated an RCS fundraiser into her annual business event to promote new products and ideas.
"The results have been amazing," she said of the show and of the added RCS fundraiser. "We have been getting checks and tons of donations."
She bought 100 watermelons from Garner Farms in Carteret County. Volunteer Bill Green and "Watermelon Girls" Anna Hill, Jane Maulucci and Kaye Frampton-Brown greeted visitors, collected donations and handed out the melon souvenirs.
Inside the main showroom, RCS volunteers sold T-shirts, part of RCS' re-branding efforts through Shannon LuQuire's New Bern company, Trade Ideas.
"We're trying to get more volunteers and awareness for RCS," LuQuire said.
The 10th annual show included plenty of fruit and snacks around a center fountain, and in three rooms where 14 vendors from up and down the east coast offered new products for inspection.
"I started this as a way to bring new promotions and people to town, to promote new items and new ideas," Kincaid said. "And the Hilton has been a great partner, providing staff and helping because they realize we are promoting the town and helping the community."
She said the show is about ideas more than just a selling venue.
"I invite my clients (from Thea's Ideas) and it is just a great way for people to come in see the new promotional items to market their businesses," Kincaid said of the show. "They can buy if they want to, but it is mostly to get ideas and to help our community."
One new item targeted at promoting New Bern was a large umbrella that drew a good deal of attention.
It features the Craven County and New Bern logos, along with a bear on the top. When opened, the underside features a montage of color photographs of New Bern that include City Hall, Tryon Palace, Union Point Park, a city view from the Trent River and crowd scenes.
Mike Burky, the Atlanta representative of multiple lines of products, said the umbrella was exciting — a product of Hass-Jordan.
"I met Thea and we talked about the idea and they made a sample," he said. "This is my first time here. I am very impressed with this little secret of a town. I'll be coming back to this place."
Kincaid said the umbrella's New Bern theme is impressive.
"It is a piece of art, it is a souvenir of the city and it will keep you dry," she laughed.
Toni Prophitt was another representative from an Atlanta company, the Magnet group.
"We are all things magnetic," she said. "This is my fourth time here. New Bern likes magnets."
Rich Conroy of Greensboro is another multiple-time visiting company rep, with the Hub Pen Co. of Braintree, Mass.
"It is always a good show," he said. "Thea always does such a good job with lining it up and with the logistics and bringing in a quality crowd."
Kincaid annually gathers a small army of volunteers to help with the show and the fundraising.
"Thea is so good at this and it is great that she can bring all these people together in such a creative way," said volunteer Michelle Ammon. Her daughters, Olivia, 8, and Leila, 7, joined the fun, wearing name tags and helping to greet visitors.

I'm glad Colorado voters recalled two state legislators who voted a gun-control agenda their constituencies didn't agree with. It was the first time in the state's history that happened, which speaks volumes about how fed up the public is getting with legislative activism.
I've never been one to wave around the Second Amendment, figuring our whole Constitution pretty much protected us as it was intended to do. But because the current administration shows zero respect for the parts of it they don't like I feel I should regularly check my hole-cards knowing this crowd will deal from a stacked deck given any opportunity.
I generally don't do groups; dislike organized and scripted events, name-tags and speakers. So considering my avoidance of anything smacking of membership, secret handshakes or titles, I was loath to voluntarily sign up for something this week. Maybe I did it for the wrong reasons, but they're my reasons and this is still America.
So I'm now a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association. I went to their website, gave them my name etcetera and paid $25 dues. I'm not especially interested in receiving magazines or in participating in petition efforts directed toward legislators.
I'm not a "gun activist" in the political sense of the term, but simply decided to cast a small personal ballot in favor of gun ownership rights granted under our Constitution; hence, I and my Visa card joined up. I admit that Obama's dislike for the NRA was a tiny extra perk of membership.
Don't think I want everybody to rush out and buy guns. I don't and couldn't care less who chooses to exercise his or her ownership rights. But I want the right preserved.
I don't agree with everything the NRA opposes. I have no problem with sound and solid background checks and don't even have a big problem with reasonable waiting periods.
What I do have a problem with is the present incarnation of our government. Until another administration comes along that will truly "protect and defend the Constitution…" we can't rely upon good faith and equal execution of laws.
Many liberals would have you believe guns to be the cause of gun violence, blaming the hardware rather than the software. By such convoluted logic, hypodermic needles cause drug addiction.
But logic has very little to do with their politics. Whenever some gangsta idiot with a gun does something idiotic, the left calls out Samuel Colt but leaves Lil Wayne completely alone. There's no way rational minds can't correlate cultures with actions.
Oppressively strict gun controls keep weapons out of the hands of law-abiding citizens but don't impact criminals. Ask someone from Chicago how ultra-tight gun laws work for them.
So for the present, I support the NRA's efforts to block any truncation of my rights under the 2nd Amendment. When a trustworthy administration regains power, I'll likely quit and save my 25-bucks annual dues.
Meanwhile the rabid left will continue to preach that umbrellas cause rain.

It was 'Soccer Sunday' on Bell Pitch, and what a way to wrap up a busy week for Whitecaps FC at BC Place.
Martin Rennie's side have two more Sunday games at home this season. The win over San Jose was not only their second-straight 2-1 result over the Earthquakes, it was Vancouver's second league victory on a Sunday afternoon in 2012.
Like any win, this hard-fought triumph over Frank Yallop's MLS high-flyers was vital in terms of the three points taken, and the morale boost it provides the Blue and White.
To take six points off the favourites for the 2012 Supporters' Shield (top club in the MLS regular season) is a huge building block to achieve. It was also the perfect tonic for a club that has been through an eventful recent spell.
Among those events have been several notable roster moves that have left supporters looking at their match day programs to familiarize themselves with the new faces. Of course, that familiarization is made easier if the new faces can make an immediate impact. This week, Dane Richards and Barry Robson did just that.
It's been an interesting couple of weeks for Richards following his move west from New York Red Bulls. The Jamaican international has already made three appearances for the 'Caps, but his efforts on Sunday will be remembered fondly.
Richards' ability to out-pace defenders on the right flank is a real asset for Vancouver. The Caribbean midfielder not only found the scoresheet, he also tormented an MLS All-Star in Earthquakes left fullback Justin Morrow.
With Camilo Sanvezzo and Darren Mattocks also causing San Jose headaches, the speed and skill of the 'Caps attack is sure to cause concern for Vancouver's future opponents.
As for Robson, the midfielder's integration with Whitecaps FC is improving by each match. The passionate Scot battled throughout Sunday's clash - fully aware of the importance of the occasion.
His passing and distribution drew regular applause from supporters, while his efforts to win possession in midfield were very important during the spells that produced Whitecaps FC's two goals on Sunday.
He also showed his striking power when he converted Vancouver's lone penalty of the season so far. By the late stages, Robson's name was chanted in praise throughout BC Place.
If Richards and Robson generated a large amount of excitement, the reaction new signing Kenny Miller received when he substituted late on for his MLS debut was also a highlight of the day.
Apart from almost making a sensational start with a chance at goal, the Scottish international striker did what he could to help his new club to victory in the final few minutes. His Whitecaps FC moments will surely come soon enough…
The Sunday dinner or BBQ will be a bit more satisfying for 'Caps fans this July 22, 2012. With a dozen more matches left in the regular season, supporters will be hoping for a feast of satisfying results to consume on between now and late October.
Until Friday night!
It was one of the hottest tickets of the summer in Vancouver – a visit by David Beckham and the star-studded LA Galaxy to take on Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a crucial MLS Western Conference encounter.
Most times, the hype and anticipation of a live sporting event is balanced by what unfolds during that event. Wednesday night, however, Whitecaps FC and the Galaxy took full advantage of the energized atmosphere at BC Place by offering more great moments to the 2012 MLS season catalogue.
From a soccer standpoint, the match was a tale of two halves. Whitecaps FC set the initiative by taking a two-goal lead into the halftime break before the Galaxy showed the heart of defending MLS Cup champions to earn something from their lone regular season visit to Vancouver.
The game likely left those who watched it live, on television, or online in one of three categories. For passionate Whitecaps FC fans, there was disappointment at being held at home, while Galaxy supporters would have been relieved to earn a late point on the road.
The third category may have been the more popular one, as the midweek clash left people fully entertained and fulfilled by the gallant efforts of both clubs. Yet, unlike the experience of a satisfying meal, Wednesday's match will have fans hungry for more soccer entertainment in Vancouver.
There were likely some first-time visitors to a Whitecaps FC game at BC Place on Wednesday night, and depending on their level of knowledge of soccer, the club, and MLS, it proved an outstanding advert for new converts.
Much credit must go to the home side, who showed spirit and application to take the game to their high-profile guests. In particular, some key individual performances made Whitecaps FC fans jump out of their seats!
Fully deserving of the 'Budweiser Man of the Match' award, Gershon Koffie played with determination against LA. He deserved more than the one goal he actually scored, while his eagerness to create openings for Darren Mattocks and home debutant Dane Richards was a positive sign for the future.
The young Ghanaian also deserves praise for his defensive work, particularly in the first half, as he did well to nullify the threat that was David Beckham in central midfield.
It was in midfield that another of the 'Caps top performers offered his new fans a taste of his influential abilities. Using the recent extended road trip to gain his match fitness, Barry Robson might have become the new hero in Van City.
His first-half goal was superbly taken, while his efforts to score again brought BC Place to life in the dying stages. With each match under his belt, Robson is proving to be a talismanic character in Martin Rennie's side. At the very least, Robson would have been full of adrenaline from the crowd reactions to his efforts on Wednesday night.
And what of his fellow countryman Kenny Miller, who watched his new club from the press box? He must be itching to have a chance to experience the BC Place atmosphere on Sunday when San Jose Earthquakes pay a visit.
It is a bit difficult to sum up Wednesday's match, but maybe the opinion of one broadcaster at the end of the game offers the best assessment. In his mind, a Whitecaps FC match at BC Place is the best live sporting event you can attend in Vancouver. When you assess our home games this season, the above argument has plenty of evidence to support it.
If you missed out on Wednesday's soccer fireworks, you only need to wait four more days before another Whitecaps FC match takes place in downtown Vancouver.
Top MLS club San Jose make the visit this weekend, and if the events of May 5 are anything to go by, we are all in for a real soccer treat!
We hope to see you Sunday!
One of the toughest stretches of the season is now at an end, and although it did not end with a result, there is a lot to look forward to at Whitecaps FC.
As for Saturday's match in Chicago. One of the things that every 'Caps fan can appreciate is the quality of players across MLS.
The Fire have such quality in the form of Pavel Pardo. A Mexican soccer legend, his pedigree in a free-kick situation ultimately secured Chicago a very good result after finishing the game with ten men.
The visit to Chicago's Toyota Park ended one of the more challenging spells of the season for Martin Rennie's side and some results in that extended road schedule might have been different…
Yet, to be sitting in a good position in the Western Conference standings with four of the next five games at home, it is all about looking forward and what can be achieved against our conference foes in the 14 games to come.
On Saturday, 'Caps fans got a chance to see the club's newest acquisition in action. Dane Richards came on in the second half and showed glimpses of what makes him an attacking threat in MLS.
The Jamaican international offers speed and skill when he gets forward, and against the Fire, his presence was a boost to the Blue and White's attack that had more life after halftime.
With the 'Caps schedule soon to have several days in between league matches, new faces like Richards will have the chance to be well incorporated into Rennie's set-up with numerous training sessions.
And after several MLS seasons as a New York Red Bulls player, Richards offers valuable experience to a club in their second season in the league.
He has been through the battles in the Eastern Conference since 2007 and it will interesting to know if the winger will find the Western Conference playoff chase to be a reinvigorating one.
We welcome Dane to his new home on Canada's west coast and hope he enjoys his time in Vancouver. I'm sure fans will enjoy him hitting the jet afterburners in a 'Caps uniform!
The winger will surely be looking forward to this week, as we all will at Whitecaps FC. The visit of LA Galaxy is a highly anticipated one on Wednesday night, and after the display they put in against our Cascadia Cup rivals Portland Timbers, a very challenging one as well.
A big performance will be needed by the Blue and White that night, and with a passionate crowd at BC Place supporting Rennie's side, it might be the type of match that inspires an unlikely hero or a new player like Richards.
Remember, it has been less than a month since Richards got a taste of the BC Place experience as a New York player. We now have a chance to make him feel welcome by getting behind every move and run he makes on Bell Pitch.
Should Richards get that chance against the defending MLS Cup champions, he will surely remember the moment fondly as a player and a person. Let's make it happen!
On to Wednesday!

Not exactly trample kids but a knee to the face (Score:2, Interesting)by Bob the Super Hamste (1152367) on Wednesday November 21, 2012 @03:28PM (#42058847) HomepageWhile I avoid shopping like the plague and when I do go it becomes an exercise in efficiency I suggest that you keep your children under control. I really hate people's feral children that run free through stores and the parents who think their precious little snowflakes can do no wrong. When I hear one coming around an end cap I lift the legs up a bit more so that they go plowing into my knee as they come around the corner. Hell my oldest did that a few times and got plowed over by other people's cart when he refused to stay by the cart and the people who he plowed into were apologetic about it. I tell them don't worry about it as I keep telling him to stay by the cart so he doesn't run into another cart but he doesn't listen. It is amazing how well negitive reinforcement works especially when you tell them what will happen if they don't behave and then it happens when they don't. I always tell him the reason for things and when things like this happen I explain why and remind him of why I tell him things.

Just you wait it will come there as well. Up here in Canada for the last couple years we have started to see Black Friday deals. Of course the reasoning I get is that shoppers in Canada go down to the states to get Black Friday deals so retailers up here were doing the same thing to drive up customers. Something that has been trending since the dollar became close to even across the boarder.
I hope you don't see it. It's like a disease every year it spreads further.
mod parent up (Score:5, Interesting)I find it despicable that WalMart & Target feel it necessary to make all their employees work Thanksgiving evening when they should be home fighting with their families. This is making everyone's lives more miserable in a feeble attempt to stretch out the holiday shopping season in the vain hope of eeking out a few more bucks.
Re:my TV just broke (Score:5, Interesting)My experience is the best deal on TVs is just after a big game (Super Bowl, Grey Cup, Stanley Cup etc).
With the flexible return policies of the big box stores there are often open box returns that are then priced below the sales price they were purchased for pre-game.
Re:I work retail (Score:5, Interesting)
I straightened one local store manager out about that. I tipped the bag boy and he jumped his ass about it. When I found out I jumped his ass. I told him it was between me and the kid and if I wanted to tip him it wasn't any of his business. If he didn't like it I'd be glad to go to another store and call his district manager and tell him that he was a fool who thought his stupid "please no tipping" was enforceable on his customers. He apologized and I continue to tip the baggers there.

The turning point on coal
On Monday, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee joined Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber in a strongly worded letter on coal exports to Nancy Sutley, chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ.) Sutley, not a household name outside the beltway, is uniquely situated to influence a series of decisions that will shape America's energy and environmental future for decades.
The CEQ was established though the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), and conceived as the enviro equivalent of the Council of Economic Advisers. Just like the council, the CEQ prepares an annual report and has the president's ear on big-picture environmental fixes. It also manages federal implementation of environmental-impact assessments, angling to harmonize turgid regulations and the human environment. No small mission, that.
Rather than a parochial focus on permit applications, Inslee and Kitzhaber wide-angle the coal-export debate. They're asking incisive, weigh-the-outcomes questions. Is it in our national interest, for example, for the feds to help underwrite coal extraction in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana only to export the coal to East Asia?
"As the major owner of coal reserves in the Western U.S., the federal government must consider whether it has appropriately priced the coal leases that it continues to grant, including the practice of granting non-competitive leases," Inslee and Kitzhaber write. "These issues raise significant concerns that we are subsidizing the export of coal at the same time we are winding down domestic consumption due to serious environmental and health concerns."
The debate is bipartisan. Are sweetheart deals bleeding taxpayers? In the Pacific Northwest, the lens is narrower, specifically how to "mitigate" for 18 more trains a day from the Powder River Basin to the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal near Bellingham. How will this affect families and commuters in Marysville, Edmonds and beyond?
The remarkable aspect about the Inslee-Kitzhaber letter is its frankness, insisting that the CEQ undertake a thorough review of the greenhouse gas and air-quality impacts of coal leasing before "the U.S. and its partners make irretrievable long-term investments in expanding this trade."
Answering these questions is exactly why the CEQ was created. The onus is now on that low-profile functionary in D.C.

Great news for animals nationwide! On June 21, the U.S. Senate took a huge step toward strengthening federal laws against animal fighting by approving the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, which had been a stand-alone bill in the Senate (S. 1947), as part of that chamber's version of the Farm Bill.
This humane measure would make it a federal offense to knowingly attend an organized animal fight and would impose additional penalties for bringing children to animal fights. Violators would face up to one year in prison for attending a fight, and up to three years in prison for bringing or causing a minor to attend.
While organized animal fighting is a federal crime and is illegal in all 50 states, the issue of spectators at these events has not been fully addressed on the federal level—and laws against spectatorship vary from state to state.
"This measure would help law enforcement by allowing them to pursue and punish the spectators who drive the market for animal fighting," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations. "Furthermore, children need protection from the spectacle of animal fighting, as well as its dangerous and illegal associated activities, including drugs, weapons and gambling."
In order for the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act to become law, the U.S. House must add the same language it its version of the Farm Bill, which is still being crafted. The Farm Bill is expected to be finalized by the end of summer.
For more information on the ASPCA's efforts to tackle animal fighting, please join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade.
This is a great idea. More people would write if they had easy access to the contact information for their congress people. I looked up all of my Federal and State representives once, plus certain State detp. heads and it took a long time to get all the info together.
Make it a federal offense attending and will fully organizing a animal fighting event and ALSO the spectators.
ie them so longm so happy why did it take them so long thank god
A great move to protect these poor animals and stop this terrible act/practice. The use of arrest and imprisonment will cut off attendance and therefore betting;and places will shut down/not open. "Cut off the food and the body dies!"
Finally,a bill that would make it a federal offense to attend an animal fight. This is a big step in attempting to stop organized animal fighting. This is a cruel and useless sport. Animals are hurt and killed in this sport (which really is not a sport at all). Children learn from what they are exposed to. Adding addition penalities for bringing children to these events is a necessary addition to this bill. A bill that is LONG OVERDO! Thanks for protecting our animals.
When courts start making examples of out ppl,only then will they think twice about their actions.Its time that these ppl get punished for these horrible actions of violence towards these animals.Wether its cockfighting,dogfighting,etc.... the punishments should be severe.
You want to see a fight....put me in a room with these heartless victimizers for 5 minutes

RIVER BEND — The River Bend Town Council has unanimously agreed to discontinue any consideration of proposals for a new sewer plant and sewer line expansion.
About 400 residents poured into HowellCentergymnasium for a rainy Thursday night public hearing and none of the nearly 40 who spoke supported a proposal residents said they learned of about a month ago.
The $12 million plan to build a new 685,000-gallon-per-day wastewater treatment plant and extend 11 miles of sewer pipes to ensure that all developed areas of the town have access to sewer included assessments of about $4,500 for current system users and $12,200 for anyone who tapped on to be paid over 10 years.
Speaker Bill Ritchie, a former mayor, got a standing ovation when he presented an opposition petition with 1,070 signatures, about a third of River Bend's total population.
About 1,012 buildable lots in the town are on the sewer system and 590 are not, but opposition crossed the sewer line to septic divide.
Comments limited to about two minutes were mostly civil — no one was rowdy at the hearing — but some remarks about the leaders including the council and the Public Works Advisory Committee were less than kind.
Many spoke of the hardship already created by discussion of what Mayor John Kirkland said, "Is just a proposal" surfacing now after being discussed on and off since 2003 because the board received a real estimated cost from the advisory committee to begin consideration.
"It was brought to the people now for discussion because interest rates are at an all time low and we thought residents should have the opportunity to consider it," Kirklandsaid. "After four public meetings at which we heard the concerns and received input from residents and homeowners," the opposition turnout is not surprising.
Brandon Hurst, a new resident of Wildwood Driveand not on the sewer system, said he is happy with his septic system that works well and helps keep utility costs down. "If I'd known six or seven months ago this was going to happen, we wouldn't have bought this house."
Chris Barton of Gatewood Drivesaid the proposed system cost is still "an estimate. We don't know the cost and this will push buyers away without a doubt. I guarantee River Bend is off the market."
Linda Easton of Shoreline Drivesaid, "Insurance is going up, the mortgage is going up, but salaries are not going up. I can hardly pay for what I have now. I may have to put my home on the market and there are already 90 homes in River Bend for sale. Are you trying to make a ghost town?"
Even current sewer system users who spoke and conceded that improvements will ultimately be needed said this is not the time to consider anything that costs struggling homeowners money.
The current sewer plant can treat 330,000 gallons of wastewater a day, said Drew Havens, town manager, and the average now being treated each day is 110,000 gallons. At peak flow the plant now operates at about 50 percent capacity.
He said there are no current problems resulting in N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) violations, but "the effective life of the plant is about 20 years and even with good maintenance it can't operate indefinitely."
Zack Taylor is a Trent Woods resident who owns rental property in River Bend including some on and some off the system, like several who spoke.
"I know the board has the responsibility of presenting this study to us," Taylorsaid. "They say the way you get the attention of a mule is to hit it in the head with a two-by-four" and city officials succeeded. The system "will have to be replaced sometime but that time is not near. I hope you defeat this proposal."
Two former council members spoke against the proposal and one resident now on the system said that if the system is expanded, it should not be at current user expense.
At the close of the more than three-hour hearing, Councilman Bud Van Slyke said, "The word has been heard." While he wished some of the comments had been couched in "a little different nomenclature – this is a proposal not a mandate … We heard you. I heard you. I make a motion to discontinue study of both" the wastewater treatment expansion and the sewer line extension proposals.
All other councilman — Brenda Garvey, Barbara Maurer, Phil Seymour and Karl Wolfer — spoke positively about the interest the proposal generated and their appreciation for resident involvement in making the decision.
"We saw the passion in your faces and hear the despair in your voices," said Garvey.
Wolfer said it was clear residents want "to kick the can down the road. In the future we will have to deal with it. I'm not excited but have to accept that now is not the time."
Shortly after the meeting an email went out from petition committee member Andrea Oliva that said, "I am extremely proud of the way our 'little community' has banded together in what we felt in our hearts, our minds, and our wallets would be detrimental to each and every one of us."
She said, "Raw emotion" and facts presented by "intelligent people" helped "a collective effort that ultimately paid off."

|Dickie V. at All Children's Hospital: "IT WAS AWESOME, BABY!"
|What could possibly top the energy of legendary sportscaster Dick Vitale describing the "diaper dandies" of college basketball's March Madness? Try a room full of youngsters learning that "a" stands for "awesome, baby!"
Merrill Lynch and Bank of America joined Vitale in donating 400 copies of the book to patients at the hospital. Vitale's long-term relationship with All Children's Hospital has benefited the hospital's pediatric cancer research efforts, and earnings from the book will further that cause. The book is available for purchase through his online website, www.dickvitaleonline.com, at www.amazon.com, and in the All Children's Hospital Gift Shop.
As Vitale read to the kids, they were able to activate a special push-button digital recording of Vitale's voice "broadcasting" five different phrases of encouragement, including "You and Me - What a Team," and Vitale's signature catchphrase: "You're Awesome, Baby!"
Vitale, known for his high-energy broadcasts and tireless support of cancer research through the V Foundation, has launched the Dick Vitale Children's Literacy Initiative with the publication of the book by Ascend Books.
The alphabet and counting book features Vitale's high-energy and passion for basketball. For example, "D" is for "Dunk" and "J" is for "Jump." In the counting section of the book, Vitale leads kids in counting colorful basketballs. The book is illustrated with a menagerie of animal characters and a tiny version of Dickie V. The illustrations are by noted artist Craig Lueck.
A resident of Lakewood Ranch, Vitale is the grandfather of five and believes that literacy skills are fundamental to a child's successful development. His literacy initiative has three goals:

Jeremy Jones
When Jeremy Jones saw a snowboard for the first time in a general store in Vermont, his nine-year-old self thought, "It's about time."
Growing up skateboarding and pretending to surf on the East Coast, these new wood boards, with nary a binding or hint of design innovation in sight, brought together all of his most favorite things.
From the first time he dragged his first board up a hill in his backyard, across a career spanning more than two decades, snowboarding for the legendary eight-time Big Mountain Rider of the Year has come full circle. Over the years, and some of the steepest vertical slopes ever ridden, Jeremy's name became synonymous with big mountain heli-boarding. These days it takes more than a plush ride to get Jeremy's adrenaline pumping in the mountains. For reasons as varied and as colorful as his career, he's abandoned the luxury of technology for the solitude and adventure of self-propelled big mountain riding.
By the time he was 13, Jeremy had already logged several seasons on his snowboard when the resorts finally decided to allow them on the mountains. Not knowing how to handle these hooligans, the resorts "certified" snowboarders to ride. Jeremy was the first to get certified, "but that all ended quickly…instantly," he laughs. Someone figured out that if a "certified" snowboarder crashed into someone, the resort was responsible. Soon he found he was spending less and less time at the resort and more time in his backyard, solo, hiking out to ride down.
In those early days of snowboarding, progress was slow, painfully slow. Jeremy remembers, "I'd be looking at my skis and then look at my snowboard and think, 'Why does it look like this?'"
The transition from amateur to pro proved more difficult still. Without the sponsors and the support today's athletes may take for granted, Jeremy started competing at 14 and though averaging about 35 contests a season, he didn't stay in a hotel until he was 20. One winter he ate more than 300 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and graduated high school $10,000 in debt. He'd lose 15lbs each winter and one season got so sick, he gave his sponsors an ultimatum: either they up their support or he'd have to walk away. He saw all of it, though, as an initiation. "You have to earn your deal," he reasons, "the better the job the harder the initiation."
On the way out West to his first competition, Jeremy stopped to visit his brother in Jackson Hole. In that one moment, he knew he no longer wanted to be a world champion. "I wanted to wash dishes and ride Jackson Hole every day," he said.
At home now in the Sierras, Jeremy's walls are covered with trophies of his greatest exploits: photographs. The contest trophies are stuffed in the corner. "My biggest reward, andwhat has fulfilled me more than anything else, are the mountains I've ridden," he said. "I've gone into a handful of mountain ranges around the world and taken snowboarding to the next level." This next level is going back to the beginning. In part a reaction to critics who claimed anyone could ride big lines with a heli budget like Jeremy's, his new chapter of exploration – full foot-powered expedition snowboarding into some of the most inaccessible lines in the world – seeks to recapture the solitude and pure adventure wiped away by easy access and fat cash.
"After a five-day trip, I'm walking on water for a week," he says. "I'm a cheap drunk out there; it's so easy to get the adrenaline amping. I'd have to drop in off a helicopter, redlining in fifth gear along some ridge to achieve that same level of buzz."
Jeremy's latest project is the film "Deeper" with Teton Gravity Research, to be released in 2010. A two-year exploration into the world's most inaccessible ranges, "Deeper" delivers a very positive message: world-class freeriding is available to anyone willing to work. Though he's been filming all winter, Jeremy's spent $300 in gas plus food costs to scout the lines that will redefine what freeriding is and what it can be.
It's this return to the basics that prompted Jeremy's "Protect Our Winters" project as well. A non-profit organization dedicated to reversing the global warming crisis by uniting the winter sports community, POW was inspired by Jeremy's travels and realizations that snow levels were rising and the mountains themselves were changing. Bringing this message to the home front, Jeremy spends much of his time now rediscovering the Sierras. "I can drive three hours around here, and feel like I'm in a whole new world."
Always on the forefront of snowboarding's evolution, wherever Jeremy will go, riders will follow.
Jeremy Jones convincingly won this year's Swatch O'Neill Big Mountain Pro following two fast fluid runs which had all the other riders astounded, unanimously voting him the winner of the snowboard category and the majority of riders voting him the overall winner.
"It wasn't my goal to win," said the American O'Neill ultimate freerider. "I came here to ride fun lines and see what happened. To come out on top is an amazing feeling."
Behind him in the snowboarding category was last year's winner, Xavier de le Rue, who had a stunning strong first line, but was not as fluid on the second face of the competition. In third place was Austrian O'Neill rider, Mitch Toelderer.
Kaj Zackrisson won the skiing title for the second year running with his impressive double drops and adventurous lines down both faces. "I am very happy to win this for the second year," said the ever-smiling Swedish skier.
Behind him was Aurelien Ducroz, the French skier from Chamonix particularly impressing with his drops and line on the second face, which had suited skiers a lot more than the snowboarders. In third place was the Swiss skier, Phil Meier.Interview
As a true ambassador of the O'Neill brand, Jeremy Jones is constantly pushing the boundaries. Being the World's Top Big Mountain rider, Jeremy vows never to look back, "I just look forward to where I can progress." This attitude has earned Jeremy admiration from the snowboarding world for many years now. Respected as the best in his field, Jeremy has been voted Transworld Snow Rider of the Year multiple times and Snowboarder Magazine Best Big Mountain Rider seven years in a row. As an outdoor enthusiast, avid surfer, and a leader in his field, Jeremy represents what O'Neill is all about.
- Favorite conditions
- Favorite location
"Alaska, the mountains and snow are so perfect that it allows you to push your riding to new levels every time you are out there. The opportunities are endless as long as you can get your mind around the fear of not seeing what you are riding."
- Future plans
"Explore new terrain and continue to evolve my snowboarding to where I think it can go. Down the trade in the hard pack days for surf and ride powder.
Major accomplishments: The things I am most proud of have been exploring new terrain and safely riding the prominent peaks in un-ridden mountain ranges. As for awards the seven Snowboarder Magazine's Big Mountain of the year and multiple TWS Rider Poll Awards are what I am most proud of."
- Goals
"Continue to search out those perfect lines as well as ride some of the ones I have found but am waiting for the right conditions for. Take my riding to the levels I dream about."
- Enjoying snowboarding
"Snowboarding is the sport that keeps on giving. There are always new things to do and explore and when conditions are right it is the most effortless thing in the world and feels like I am flying."
- Best thing about boarding
"Hitting the lip like Tom Curren, catching perfect trannies and the solitude of being in pristine mountains with no one around but you and a few friends."
- The future of snowboarding
"We will continue to see a select group of riders bringing tricks into riding lines and overall style will be more important then how hard of a trick a rider does.
Introduction to the sport: Around the fall of 1982 I found a Burton Backhill tucked in the corner of the general store and immediately it went to the top of my Christmas list. At the beginning I rode a little with my brothers but mostly by myself. After four years of riding my backyard and occasionally poaching the ski area snowboards were finally allowed on lifts."
- Largest influence
"Craig Kelly, Tom Burt, Tom Curren, and my dad."
- If you weren't involved in snowboarding, what other sport would you most likely be involved with?
"Definitely surfing. That is where I first got hooked on the sideways lifestyle."
- Currently focused on?
"Basic freestyle tricks that I can implement into free-riding as well as riding lines switch."
- If you had one day to live what would you do?
"Hang out at the beach or mountains with my friends and family"
- What types of music to you listen to?
"Country, Metal, Reggae and everything in between."
- What do you listen to before or during a session?
" Usually something mellow like Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash to try and mellow myself out. Going into the mountains overly amped can be dangerous.
Dream session: Either perfect snow or a perfect point break with just some friends and myself."

News Detail
Kent State University College of the Arts Celebrates Dual MilestonesPosted Sep. 5, 2012
The Kent State University's College of the Arts is celebrating two milestones. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series, known for presenting impressive guest artists since 2002 to the Kent State campus and community in the areas of visual arts, music, theatre, dance and architecture, celebrates its tenth anniversary. Furthermore, the College's Hugh A. Glauser School of Music recently acquired the All-Steinway designation after completing its Steinway campaign. In honor of these two most impressive accomplishments, the College, in conjunction with the Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series, proudly presents a free concert by pianist Arnaldo Cohen to the Kent State campus on Sat., Oct. 13, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. The performance by the highly lauded Brazilian-born pianist Arnaldo Cohen, will take place in the University Auditorium in Cartwright Hall, 650 Hilltop Drive, on the campus of Kent State University. Free parking is available in the Cartwright Hall lot off of Terrace Drive. This marks the second Thomas Schroth Series event during this week. "Up Close and Personal with Ben Vereen" is a free, open-to-the-public event just two nights before on Thurs., Oct. 11.

Brazilian-born pianist Arnaldo Cohen has a reputation for astonishing his audiences with the musical authority and blistering virtuosity of his performances. His graceful and unaffected platform manner belies playing of white-hot intensity, intellectual probity, and glittering bravura technique bordering on sheer wizardry.
The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series has presented guest artists respected in the fields of theatre, dance, visual arts, music and architecture. Now celebrating its tenth anniversary, The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artists Series, has brought such noted artists as Tony award-winning artists such as composer Stephen Schwartz, Next to Normal actress Alice Ripley; Grammy-winning Emerson String Quartet; postmodern minimalist artist Richard Tuttle; artists and fashion designers Ruben and Isabel Toledo; and internationally-acclaimed dance company, Ballet Florida, just to name a few. The Schroth series was established in 2002 by the late Max and Cil Draime of Warren, Ohio, to honor their dear friend, Tom Schroth (1922-1997). A noted regional architect, Schroth designed the Butler Institute of Art's Trumbull museum in Howland, as well as numerous other award-winning projects. Thomas Schroth spent his life in Niles, Ohio, as a prominent architect and inveterate collaborator in the artistic life of the Mahoning Valley and Northeast Ohio. A world traveler, he saw human creativity as a window framing human experience. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series brings diverse views through that window to the Kent campus and community. The events are always free and open to the public.
