Cardigan Welsh Corgi
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The average male Cardigan Welsh Corgi is around 30 to 38 pounds (13.6 to 17.2 kg), and an average female is around 25 to 34 pounds (11.3 to 15.4 kg).
Cardigan Welsh Corgis are on average 10.5 to 12.5 inches tall (26 – 32 cm).
Cardigan Welsh Corgis can be red, sable, black, blue merle, or brindled.
A Cardigan's coat is of medium length and is weather-resistant. It is easy to maintain as it only requires routine grooming with a firm brush.
It is best to think of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi as a big dog who happens to have shorter legs. They may be small in stature, but they have a big dog's energy level and personality. Originally bred as herding dogs, they are a robust and active breed praised for their affectionate nature, which makes them great companions, working dogs, and house pets.
Country of Origin:
Believed to have descended from the same family as the Dachshund, another breed known for their diminished stature, the original Cardigan Welsh Corgis were brought to Wales over 3,000 years ago by ancient Celtic tribes as herding dogs for sheep and cattle. They were later crossed with dogs from the Spitz family to produce the modern Cardigans. Today they are still used as sheep and cattle dogs in some regions.
Cardigan Welsh Corgis and Pembroke Welsh Corgis are often collectively known as "Welsh Corgis;" indeed, they were not officially recognized as separate breeds until 1934. Cardigans have longer tails, unlike the Pembroke's bobbed nubs; as well, Cardigans are bigger, have deeper chests, and have a more athletic build than Pembrokes.
In Welsh, "Cor gi" can be translated to "dwarf dog." Cardigan refers to Cardiganshire, Wales, the geographic area where this breed of corgis originated.
Cardigan Welsh Corgis are active, playful dogs. Their herding instinct gives them an involved, lively personality that is similar to a Collie or a German Shepherd. They do well around other dogs and children, as they always enjoy the attention from extra playmates. Highly intelligent and affectionate, Cardigan Welsh Corgis are very devoted to their families and make perfect companion dogs.
Like other herding breeds, Cardigan Welsh Corgis respond very well to obedience training. Their willingness to please their masters makes them quick learners, and since their energy level is so high they seem to always enjoy the extra attention. Plenty of external stimuli are needed to keep these active dogs occupied, or they may resort to destroying furniture to relieve the boredom.
People are sometimes fooled by the Cardigan Welsh Corgi's small size, and are surprised by their athletic abilities. Remember, they are herding dogs after all! While daily marathons may be a little excessive, they would certainly enjoy long walks and plenty of space to play around.
Both of the Welsh Corgi breeds are becoming more and more popular with pet lovers, and for good reasons too. They are lovable, loyal companions, and thrive in many different environments. Their size makes them suitable as apartment dogs, provided that they have adequate space for exercise. As a rule, it is best to discourage puppies from jumping down furniture or going down staircases, since these long-bodied dogs can develop back problems later on in life.
No breeders listed at this time.

ARCHAEOLOGY enthusiasts are being urged to get involved with the third and final stage of a project looking at the industrial past of the Lake District.
'Reflections on History' is a joint project by the Lake District National Park and the National Trust and provides opportunities for local people to learn about the past industries of Windermere.
The project has already looked at the industrial themes of woodland and water power but the third stage, starting in April, will take place at the lead mines and slate quarries in Grasmere and Langdale.
An introductory day, including a guided walk to Banks Quarry, Langdale, will be held next month for would-be participants to find out more.
"No prior knowledge or experience is required and on-site training will be provided by qualified archaeologists," said LDNPA Archaeology and Heritage Assistant Holly Beavitt- Pike.
"However given the remote location and nature of the sites it is important that volunteers can demonstrate a reasonable level of fitness in order to take part in the work," she added.
The day begins at 11am on March 9 and is at Langdale Village Hall, Chapel Stile.
A GOVERNMENT appointed planning inspector has ruled that an ancient Lake District fell pass is out of bounds for motorised vehicles.
The decision by the Secretary of State to make Garburn Pass, between Troutbeck and Kentmere, a 'restricted byway' follows three years of legal argument.
It means that any motorist or motorcyclist using the pass is committing a criminal offence and could face serious legal consequences.
The inspector went through hundreds of pages of documents ranging from maps of 1822, guide books of the 1880s, and photographs of motorbikes using the pass in the 1920s.
The Lake District National Park Authority has also announced that thanks to around £55,000 of Government funding invested in repairs following the 2009 floods, the pass is probably in better condition than it has been for hundreds of years.
"The storms of November 2009 badly damaged both sides of the pass, especially the western side where the track effectively became a river, and most of the surface ended up on the main road," said National Park Countryside Access Adviser Nick Thorne.
"We were able to obtain significant funding under the Paths for the Public Project, funded by Defra, the Rural Development Programme for England, and Cumbria County Council. And we have now completely rebuilt the worst affected areas in three stages with the work being carried out by our own staff, the National Trust, and a local contractor."

Hammock Scores Three, Kirk Stops 10 as #10 Men's Lacrosse Nets 9-1 Season and League Opening Win at Coker
February 17, 2012
HARTSVILLE, S.C. - Tucker Hammock registered a second half hat trick, James Shepherd scored two and Hayden Kirk stopped 10 of 11 shots as 10th-ranked Pfeiffer University tallied a 9-1 season opening and Conference Carolinas men's lacrosse victory at Coker College on Friday night. The Falcons win their second-straight opener overall and 2012 league beginner while the Cobras fall to 1-2, 0-1.
The Falcons wasted no time in jumping on the board first as Luke Gillespie scored unassisted just 27 seconds into the contest. Justin Rose followed with his first 1:39 later on an assist from Kory Lutes while Cole Sheen helped out James Shepherd notch his first with 3:49 left in the first quarter.
Just 1:38 into the second, Shepherd tallied his second of the night before turning around to assist Steven Tilmon's goal with 46 seconds left in front of the half as Pfeiffer carried a 5-0 lead into the break.
Hammock would deposit his first of the night as the only strike of the third quarter 2:11 in before starting the fourth with his second just 53 ticks in. Coker's lone goal would come with 11:45 remaining by John Bretton, before Hammock assisted Robert Hope and Rose helped out Hammock for the game's final goals.
Kirk, the reigning NCAA II saves percentage champ, started 2012 where he left off in 2011 stopping 10 Cobra shots in the victory.
Pfeiffer will now open up five-straight at home starting next Saturday at 2:00 p.m. against Lake Erie. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Kevan Herold MD
Professor of Immunobiology and of Medicine (Endocrinology); Deputy Director for Translational Science, YCCI; Director, Yale Diabetes Center
Research Interests
Type 1 diabetes; Immune therapy; Autoimmunity
Research Summary
The work in our laboratory involves translational studies in human immunology, focused on Type 1 diabetes. We are carrying out clinical studies of new immune therapies, in particular humanized anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, and study the metabolic and immunologic effects of these interventions on the disease process. We are studying the ability of this intervention to prevent the loss of insulin production that characterizes the disease and determining the optimal approach to use this and other immune treatments in the disease setting. We have identified a novel regulatory mechanism that we believe is involved in the patients' response to anti-CD3 mAb and plan to expand these studies so that adoptive immune therapy can be performed without the need for systemic treatment of patients.
In addition, we are interested in developing new ways in which immune therapies can be combined with cellular and/or metabolic approaches to restore normal beta cell mass and function. We are testing whether immune interventions can lead to spontaneous restoration of beta cell mass and developing new approaches to stimulate beta cell regeneration. Our studies to address this goal involve studies in patients and in animal models of the disease.
Extensive Research Description
The pathogenesis and treatment of autoimmune disease, in particular Type 1 diabetes.
Studies involve clinical trials with patients and investigations of the mechanism of action of immune therapies and the pathogenesis of disease in patients as well as in animal models when needed to address what cannot be studies in humans. Over the past 7 years, our lab has carried out trials of a humanized non-FcR binding anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody in patients and has studied the mechanism of drug action. These clinical studies have suggested novel mechanisms of immune regulation that are now to be addressed with new clinical studies.

A chance for a fresh start
A career politician adroit at taking credit for the labor of others, Reardon stood defiant, unwilling to shoulder blame or responsibility --or even feign humility -- for a crisis of his own creation.
As the late Speaker of the House, Tip O'Neill, said to the White House congressional liaison in 1980, "You guys came in like a bunch of jerks, and I see you're going out the same way."
At his State of the County address, Reardon announced that he would resign at the end of May because of "false and scurrilous accusations" emanating from "groups that oppose" him. Exceptional investigative reporting by The Herald's Scott North and Noah Haglund revealed evidence of online harassment and surveillance of Reardon's political enemies -- a list that extends to those who cooperated in the Washington State Patrol's investigation of Reardon's use of public money.
What, precisely, is false? Reardon merits an opportunity to defend his character and leadership but, like a third-world autocrat, he prefers to isolate, refusing to answer questions. It's an evocative silence.
The erosion of trust in the integrity and leadership of Reardon and his staff was magnified by Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe's call last week for an independent investigation. It culminated on Wednesday when the County Council passed an emergency ordinance removing the Department of Information Services from Reardon's authority, transferring control to County Auditor Carolyn Weikel.
Many questions still need to be answered, and an investigation is likely. But now there is hope, hope for inspired leadership. The mission must be to restore the people's faith and tap someone with integrity, humility and, yes, wisdom. Citizens and the County Council might consider the mantra of the father of the nuclear Navy, Adm. H.G. Rickover, who always asked, "Why not the best?"
Public service is the highest calling, thankless, noble, and all-consuming. The Reardon era and its attendant cynicism must never diminish that. On Wednesday, before Reardon announced his May resignation, County Councilman Brian Sullivan summarized the feelings of many. "There are thousands of hard working, dedicated county employees who come to work every day and do their best to build and repair roads, protect our citizens, maintain a world-class parks system, and provide a hundred other services to county residents...We all deserve better." Thankfully, at last, we're one step closer.

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

Drivers were always early and eager to please. Your wish was their command!!!Every tour included educated guides who knew how to make our experience fun and exciting! I loved having personal drivers and guides, as well as many inclusive meals. We will definitely use this company for future travels."

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

Readers, I have this thing... this seating curse if you will, where if there is a weird person on the airplane (and there is always a weird person on the airplane), they have to be seated next me. I am weirdo magnetic. I never just get to sit beside some regular person who is traveling. Never ever. Not even when I'm sitting next to Neil. (BAAAAHAHAHAHA, it's funny because Neil reads my blog). Let me give you some examples:
-There was the 80 year old lady who told me all of her secrets like how she took a ladies tour to Tijuana and stayed drunk the whole time, stole her friend's husband who was the bus driver, threw someone's suitcase under the bus and other horrible things:
She also insisted that I should wear Lululemon sweaters just like her granddaughter. Never met this person. So I promised to look into when I landed. (Lululemon?? More like EwEw-lemon if you ask ME.)
|Do you like Lululemon, Sweetheart? Do you? Do you... like it?
- There was the woman who told me all about her breast implant procedure between my trips to the bathroom to throw up when I was coming home from Las Vegas. PS, I had the flu. Not even a hangover.
-There was the guy who insisted on keeping his seat beside my barfing 5 year old. Even though there were lots of other available seats. He also had a long, blonde beard. Unacceptable.
-There was the woman who told me how she took on foster children only to get paid and that her daughter was a famous news anchor but I shouldn't ask who. I didn't. I still regret it.
-And then there is always this person:
Not that I'm judging, Readers.
But, the friendliest of all was the guy I got to sit next to on our family's plane trip home from Honolulu:
He and his wife were struggling with their customs paperwork, so I helped them fill it out. I'm a nice person, you know. It's true. They barely spoke English and I don't know how much they read in English so I helped them decipher their shiz to pass the time. Going. to. heaven.
They were so nice to me in return. They thaaaaanked me so many times. Just really nice. Especially the husband.
But then he got sleepy. You know how that goes, eh? Just super, super sleepy.
So sleepy that he accidentally put his hand on my thigh while he was sleeping. Ok... shocking... Maybe he really did fall asleep or something... so I moved his hand. Probably jet lagged. Tired guy. THAT'S all it is. Yep. We can wrap this story up now.
Then 5 minutes later I look down:
ALright. ALLLRIGHT, GUY..... Fun time is officially over now. So I shoved his hand off, gave him an elbow and a really nasty look along with the "NOT ON YOUR LIFE" head wag. He didn't speak English, right?
He nodded at me like he was sorry.
I gave him an extra glare and a pointy finger.
All was calm again... Simmering down.... Ok, no need to make a huge deal. He gets it. He's back to leaning on his wife, who seems very disinterested in the whole scenario. Been there, done that, is what she's thinking. Yeah, this guy pulls shenanigans like this all the time. She's used to this.
A good 20 minutes pass. No events. Guy is snoring. Everything was back to normal. I was chatting with my sister who was sitting on the other side of me (we were in the middle row of seats on the 747).
Then, the guy's hand starts doing the flop around thing (in his sleep OF COURSE). Arm is flopping thisaway, arm is flopping thataway... but it was mostly flopping thisaway. I knew exactly what was coming, so I showed my sister who decided to discreetly switch seats with my Dad who was sitting across the aisle.
My very big, very tough, take no crap, very scary, used to be a bullrider Dad. The guy who dislocates his shoulder, walks over to a fence and pops it in then continues to chop wood, okay? The guy who punched a bear in the face (which is a story I will share with you another time). A Bear. In the Face. No lie, ask my Mom. It was trying to get his barbecue cover. Completely insufferable.
Anyhow, the guy's arm was getting terribly restless when all of the sudden, I guess that he just had to make himself more comfortable, so his head started to flop in my direction..... slowly creeping down toward me like I wouldn't notice him leaning on me if he went slowly enough. My Dad and I were watching the whole process silently. 30 seconds into his seamless act (which has no doubt worked for him countless other times), his head flops onto my shoulder and his hand accidentally flopped onto my boob. Accidentally.
So I nudged Dad and pointed at the hand boob dilemma. This guy is thinking that he's gotten away with something. He didn't notice the seat switcheroo. He didn't notice my Dad leaning over watching.
Dad's gorilla sized hand discreetly reached over and took hold of the man's hand. I think the guy thought it was me gently taking his hand for a split second because when he opened up his eyes, they said, "This is really happening for me!" Then my Dad said, "Let me shake your hand there, Partner".
There was a notable rolling crunch as Dad shook the man's hand and I watched the blood drain out of the man's face, sweat bead up on his forehead and he shriveled into the back of his seat like a wet cheese puff. He actually shriveled.
The hand slipped back over to his own side, cradled under his chin. He was definitely awake now. Dad and I then switched seats so that he would get to sit beside my Dad for the rest of the way. Wouldn't you know it, he didn't even nod off one time? I enjoyed watching Captain Romance sweat and stare into the back of the seat in front of him. Eyes forward. Silent. His wife perked up a bit too. I think this was pretty fun for her.
I worry about her.
Now, Readers, I know that there are more mature ways to deal with this kind of scenario... but this is my favourite way. It's just a little teeeeeeeny bit of violence, okay? Plus, I think the guy was cured of his pesky Narco-Feeleritis, too.
True story and Happy Birthday to my Dad.

Is the Emerging Church for Whites Only?
by Brian D. McLaren, Soong-Chan Rah, Jason Mach, Debbie Blue, Julie Clawson | May 2010
To survive in a quickly diversifying global church, the emerging church movement must do a better job of opening up its doors -- and pursuing justice.
At the turn of the millennium, I (Soong-Chan) began hearing a lot about the "emerging church." It seemed that everywhere I turned somebody was talking about the emerging church. A clear definition of the term was elusive (see "What is the Emerging Church?" by Julie Clawson, below), but the emerging church seemed to reflect ministry and theology rising out of the generation after the baby boomers. In particular, the emerging church was Western Christianity's attempt to navigate through the context of an emerging postmodern culture.
Soong-Chan Rah is Milton B. Engebretson associate professor of church growth and evangelism at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago and the author of The Next Evangelicalism: Freeing the Church from Western Cultural Captivity. Jason Mach is a student at North Park Theological Seminary.

JMS pools configuration
BTM XA connection factories can be created - like their JDBC conterpart - via some java code or via a BTM-specific tool called the Resource Loader. You are free to choose the method you prefer, there is absolutely no difference between them.
Using code
BTM comes bundled with a JMS XA connection pool. It is very easy to configure it. You basically have to create an instance of bitronix.tm.resource.jms.PoolingConnectionFactory set some properties and you're done.
Here is an example of datasource creation that connects to an ActiveMQ JMS server:
1. The Bitronix
PoolingConnectionFactory is a javabean that implements
2. You have to specify the JMS server's
XAConnectionFactory implementation here. It might be that this class cannot be directly instantiated because the JMS specification only specifies that implementations of this class should be available from JNDI. If your vendor only allows
XAConnectionFactory implementations to be acquired from JNDI, you should have a look at Connection factories only available from JNDI.
3. Each connection factory must be assigned a unique name. This is required for distributed crash recovery.
4. This connection factory will pool 5 connections.
5. You have to set
allowLocalTransactions to true if you want to be able to send or receive messages outside of XA transactions scope.
6. The driverProperties is a
java.util.Properties object. You have to add into it a set of property name / property value of the
ActiveMQXAConnectionFactory class. You have to refer to the JMS server's documentation to know what can / has to be set. The ActiveMQXAConnectionFactory javadoc contains this list for the ActiveMQ case. BTM will perform conversion from
String to
boolean or to
int when necessary.
7,8. You can now use the
PoolingConnectionFactory like any other
9. Remember to close the
PoolingConnectionFactory after you're done with it to release the connections.
Eager initialization
Like for JDBC, the connection pool will be initialized during the first call to
createConnection(). It might be desirable to initialize the pool eagerly, like during application startup rather than having to wait for the first requests. This can also be done by calling
Now line 7 will initialize the pool and create the 5 connections to the database instead of line 8.
Using the Resource Loader
A connection factory configuration utility is also bundled with BTM. It is convenient to use it rather than create your connection factory in code. Refer to the Resource Loader page for more details.
Here is the equivalent Resource Loader configuration of the previous code example:
You just have to write those properties in a simple text file and tell BTM where to load it by setting the
resourceConfigurationFilename property of the Configuration object.
Now you also have to know how to get the connection factory created by the Resource Loader. There are multiple ways:
- Add
bitronix.tm.resource.bind=trueto your resource loader properties file. The connection factories will then be bound to the default JNDI server using their
uniqueNameas their JNDI name.
- Another way (in case the JNDI context is read only, like in Tomcat) is to bind a
bitronix.tm.resource.ResourceFactoryobject, passing it a
javax.naming.Referencecontaining a
javax.naming.StringRefAddrcontaining the connection factory's
addrTypesomewhere in your JNDI tree. The
bitronix.tm.resource.ResourceFactoryclass will just return the connection factory with the specified
uniqueName. This is explained more in-depth in the Jetty and Tomcat documentation pages.
- The last way is to call
bitronix.tm.resource.ResourceRegistrar.get(String uniqueName). This is the least preferred method as this ties your code to BTM which you probably want to avoid.

Maryland's TEDCO and a team of entrepreneurs are planning to launch a new $20 million cybersecurity fund early next year, according to Executive Director Robert Rosenbaum.
The state-sponsored investment group plans to formally announce the cyber fund in January. Rosenbaum declined to name the sponsors, whom he described as "a couple of young guys that built a fairly large cybersecurity company and sold it." The capital — assuming they are successful in raising it — would be used to invest in early-stage cyber startups, both those building products and those selling services, he said.

Interim Guidance on Considering Environmental Justice During the Development of an Action
EPA is releasing an interim guide on incorporating environmental justice into the Agency's process for developing rules and regulations. The Interim Guidance on Considering Environmental Justice During the Development of an Action PDF (53 pp, 1MB, about PDF) is a step-by-step guide that helps EPA staff ask questions and evaluate environmental justice considerations at key points in the rulemaking process. It helps EPA staff determine whether actions raise possible environmental justice concerns and encourages public participation in the rulemaking process.
The Guide is part of EPA's efforts to advance environmental justice and to protect the health and safety of the historically underrepresented in the environmental decision-making process—minority, low-income, and indigenous populations, and tribes—who are often most at risk from environmental hazards.
EPA accepted feedback and input on how to best implement and improve the Guide and on ways EPA can further advance efforts toward environmental justice. The comment period has closed. EPA will now review the comments and make necessary revisions before releasing the final Guide by December 2011.

Writ of Recovery:
A Writ of Restitution is a legal order commanding the defendant to vacate the premises described in the complaint. Once the Writ has been served by the Sheriff, the defendant has 24 hours to vacate the premises. The fee for the Writ is $57.00. It must be served by the sheriff who will charge fees for service. If he is unable to serve it personally he may post it in a conspicuous place.
If the defendant disobeys the Writ you should notify the Sheriff, who may then physically remove the defendant. A bonded moving company, under the direction of the Sheriff, will remove defendant's personal belongings and store them in a bonded warehouse. The landlord must arrange for the moving and storage and pay the fees.
The defendant has 60 days to redeem the stored property. To redeem it, he must pay for the moving and storage costs. If unclaimed after 60 days, the property may be auctioned off by the landlord. The proceeds are then applied to the moving, storage, and related expenses incurred.
The landlord is not allowed to sell or seize the tenant's personal property to pay off rent owed or damages on the rental unit or to force payment of rent, M.S. 504B.101

As the budget stalemate in Washington led to this week's government shutdown, a lot of animal advocates have been left wondering exactly how this unusual event is impacting our nation's animals. Yesterday we told you about the shutdown's effect on puppy mill inspections, but the federal government has many additional routine animal-protection responsibilities. We've done a little digging and outlined how the following animal welfare-related duties are being altered during this shutdown:
Horse Soring
The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is charged with enforcing the Horse Protection Act to combat the abusive practice of horse soring. APHIS oversees the inspection of at-risk show horses to ensure that they have not been sored and assesses penalties for violations. Suspension of this program during the shutdown could mean that unscrupulous trainers will take advantage of this lapse in oversight.
Animal Slaughter
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) upholds the requirements of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act related to the treatment of animals prior to and during slaughter. This has been deemed a necessary function, so FSIS inspectors who monitor food safety and humane treatment in slaughterhouses continue to perform their duties during the shutdown.
Wild Horses
Federal agencies periodically round up and remove large numbers of free-roaming wild equines on public rangelands, a policy that has resulted in tens of thousands of wild horses languishing in holding facilities. Additional gathers are suspended during the shutdown, but caretakers for the horses already confined remain on the job.
Exotic animal exhibitors are regulated by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), and unfortunately, the welfare of these animals will go unchecked for the time being. However, the National Zoo in D.C., managed by the Smithsonian Institution, has retained employees essential to the security and the care of the zoo's animals.
Animals in Laboratories
The USDA enforces the AWA to ensure minimum standards of care for animals in laboratories. While employees are on the job maintaining the animals, there is no USDA watchdog ensuring that minimum standards of care are being met.
Hunting and Trapping
All National Wildlife Refuges are currently closed to the public, meaning hunting and trapping on these lands is prohibited for the duration of the shutdown. Federal law enforcement activities will continue on public lands to preserve resources and protect against illegal hunting.

It shouldn't be "stopped" this way. The democratic constitutional way that our country operates is through procedure, not blackmail!
It shouldn't be "stopped" this way. The democratic constitutional way that our country operates is through procedure, not blackmail!
For those of you who don't know this we are not a democracy..we are a republic!
Speak for your self. Idiot- Not For Me Or Others. I am sick And Tired of the Republicans Using The American People for their Amends. But Let me tell You all You will "NEVER" See a Republican President In" The White House Ever Again". Tea Party Extremist And Freaks, You all should Be Brought On Charges Of Treason and All should Be Dismissed, If Any Of You Have Any Shame, You Would All Resign. SHAME ON YOU ALL!! For What you Have Put This Country And The American People Through. Republicans- From Here On With This Shutdown You All Planned You Are All Out Numbered For Good Now. You Have Embarrassed, Let Your Party Down, And Also The People Of This Country. You All Should Remember that In 2016. When no one has Voted for you Again And They Vote For The Opposite Party, Not For You. We All like many others will Be Laughing OAO.
Grow up! Your snide comment doesn't alter the facts so take your immaturity where it will be appreciated and leave the mature discussions and commentary to the adults who can converse without needlessly disrespectful derision!
not all GOP's are heartless..I for one happen to be an advocate for animal, children, and ecosystem welfare. However, the shut down is necessary when a bunch of ID 10 T's on both sides do not KNOW how to budget the American checkbook. What good is it to pass OBMscare Ins, and not have the funds for other important issues like animal and child-welfare? What the GOP is trying to do (and some Dems are supporting them) is figure out how to replace all the FUNDS (aka as monies) that were "dished" out to companies that required Governmental hand outs and have yet to fully pay back, while spending further funds (aka monies) for their own projects. Understand also, that it is NOT just the GOP holding up Congress reopening...it is also all the other GOVERNMENT Officials who have spent money from the US Treasury and have not turned in their receipts. This should be a GOOD Lesson for all Americans... Do Not hold all your eggs in one basket! If someone comes along and over turns it, you'll have NOTHING left to show for your efforts. In other words, it's about TIME Americans started taking back their Government, supporting the shutdown, and find more CREATIVE Money ventures for supporting all the things we want to support w/o our Governments help, because frankly, They all are incompetent! Yes, I know several hundred animals are suffering more b/c of the shut-down, so why not get off the high-horse and find other ways to help besides moaning and groaning about the ID 10 T's in D.C. are / not doing to help
Someone who is aware of the true fact, its good to see. I've been following this closely and am amazed at how many don't know what's going on. Outraged over what they done to the public/outdoor memorials....actually putting up physical barricades to stop visiting vets, etc. Either way......when it comes to true endangerment of lives, that should never be interruptted.
We don't want it MINUS Obamacare. The bill itself is a compromise.
Thank you, Jayhawk Voice! I wanted single payer. A public option (2nd choice) was offered and the president had to bargain that down to what is in the PPACA. It was the republicans who demanded the individual mandate. Now they say it will kill us *rolling eyes*. Notice our representatives in Washington love their government health care? They just don't want us to have it.

Just to compare the anticipation of Heirs of Numenor to Khazad-dum. Before the first deluxe box, there have been a total of seven article previews (not including any adventure pack announcements of the Dwarrodelf cycle, of course). This time round, so far there have been two articles for Heirs of Numenor which is schedulled to be released in November.
Either the schedulle is wrong and we will see it later (hope not), or FFG just doesn't give as much attention to this cycle/their customers compared to last time. Or, Tolkien prevent, both actually.

TORONTO (ICIS)--Chemical shipments on US railroads rose 5.7% in the week ended 19 February compared with the same period in 2010, a rail industry group said on Thursday.
There were 30,673 chemical railcar loadings last week, up 1,649 carloads from the 29,024 loadings in the same week a year earlier, according to the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
The previous week ended 12 February saw a year-on-year rise of 6.4%.
Weekly chemical railcar loadings data are an important real-time measure of chemical industry activity and demand. Railcar loadings represent about 20% of US chemical volumes by tonnage, with trucks, barges and pipelines carrying the rest.

You have money, they want your money. And there's so many ways to part people from their cash with the proliferation of modern communications.
"Not only do they have door-to-door and telephone, but they now have text, email, cell phone, social media, fax machines and more," state Attorney General Roy Cooper says. "They also are very good at putting new twists on the same basic scheme.
"And, with this new communication technology, we've seen a significant increase in scam artists who are overseas ripping off North Carolina consumers. That makes it much more difficult for law enforcement to be able to catch them."
Today marks the last day of National Consumer Protection Week, a combined effort of federal and state agencies, along with companies and nonprofits to educate consumers so they don't get taken for a ride by con artists.
Cooper said a particular area of concern is the state's senior population.
"There are more seniors now – North Carolina has significantly more seniors, and seniors often are a target for scam artists, because they come from a time where they can be more trusting," Cooper said. "Many of them have worked all of their lives and saved up some money.
"And, a number of seniors have memory and dementia issues. Scam artists prey on all of those, and because there are more seniors, it gives them more people to rip off."
And nearly a month away from the deadline for filing, criminals are using the Internal Revenue Service as cover to engage in identity theft, or telling people they owe money that they do not by playing on people's anxieties about taxes.
"Nobody wants to be pen-pals with the IRS," IRS spokesman Mark Hanson said. "So, if you think there's something wrong with your taxes, people want to fix that as quickly as possible, and a lot of that has to do with their perceived notion of how things operate in the Internal Revenue Service and no one wants to be on the bad side."
Hanson said the IRS won't call you or send an email if there is an issue, but would send a letter the old fashioned way, through the postal service.
"You get an email that claims it's from the IRS and is asking you for sensitive personal information, it's a phishing scam," Hanson said. "The IRS is not going to contact you by email telling you you owe money, or telling you you're going to be audited, or asking you to fill out additional forms. That's the form that a lot of these scams take."
He continued, "They claim to be from the Internal Revenue Service, they're saying for whatever reason you need to provide more information, they're asking you for your Social Security number, name, address and any sensitive information that can be used to steal your identity."
In the past few weeks, the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes has also been a popular front, but PCH says on its website the only way they announce if you won is when its "prize patrol" shows up unannounced at your front door. Often, scammers ask for money up front in order to send the much larger cash prize later, which never shows up.
According to the PCH website, "Publishers Clearing House does not operate this way and would never ask for money to claim a prize award. PCH employees would never contact you personally or in advance to notify you of a prize award. Our prize awards are presented just the way you see in our popular TV commercials, 'live and in person' by our Prize Patrol, with balloons, champagne and check in hand – and with no advance notification."
Cooper said the best thing to do when you believe you've been involved in a scam is to quickly alert state and local law enforcement.
"Sometimes we're able to find the bad guys and get money back for consumers, depending on what kind of scam it is," Cooper said. "But oftentimes, the money is lost forever. But, people who do complain to our office – even if law enforcement can't get their money back – it can help warn other people and keep them from getting ripped off."

Consultation on the revision of the limit values for lead in toys Avaldatud: 13/02/2012, Viimati muudetud: 06/03/2012
- Tähtaeg:
- 07/05/2012.
The new toy safety directive 2009/48/EC introduced strict migration limits for lead in toys. The new directive also foresees the possibility to amend these limits when new scientific evidence is made available, in order to assure constant alignment on the latest scientific evidence and appropriate protection for children.
The latest EFSA study (2010) on Lead in Food concluded that it is impossible to establish, for lead, a threshold below which no critical effect on health can be observed. Therefore, EFSA recommended reducing the lead exposure from both food and non foods products.
As this new study shows, the level of protection of children against exposure to lead, as established by the Directive, is no longer appropriate. Therefore, it is necessary to amend the current values for lead and align them with the latest scientific data, in order to reduce children's exposure to lead.

Autocar nominates TomTom ONE as This Week's Essential
Autocar describes the TomTom ONE as a truly portable sat-nav and its cheapness is one of its biggest selling points. Features such as its touch screen, POIs and choice of map viewing are mentioned. The review's positive tone is reflected in the rating – TomTom ONE is awarded 4.5 out of 5 stars. Autocar ends the article by saying "if you need a sat-nav system, the TomTom ONE makes other systems look oversized and overpriced". (13 December 2006)

Master of Divinity, 1992, Columbia International University
Vice President of Kingdom Building Ministries
Columbia, S.C.
I didn't know what God had in store for me when I first visited Columbia International University. I was pursuing a Master of Divinity degree, and had significant scholarships to do so at other universities. But as my wife and I walked around campus, we knew something about it was different. From our observation of several classes, we could tell that God's Word was taught with reverence. His Spirit was present and active in the classroom. Though we didn't have much money at the time, we knew I needed to study at CIU.
I'm grateful for God's provision in allowing me to continue my education at CIU because God used the professors' knowledge of the Bible to change and influence me spiritually. I gained a deeper understanding of the Bible in my classes and a sharpened sense of God's call on my life. During my first semester at CIU, my mentor, CIU President Emeritus Robertson McQuilkin, grabbed my arm and told me that I should be an evangelist. Surprised at first, I was hesitant, but the next morning I heard the Lord say the same thing louder and clearer. Twenty years later I am still preaching.
The classes I took at CIU were invaluable to my ministry training. I learned how to correctly study and interpret the Bible, as well as how to communicate it with both passion and integrity. God has used the passion He has given me to make an impact for His kingdom in 18 countries and 48 states as I've had the privilege of sharing the saving message of Jesus with hundreds of thousands of people. I also serve as a guest chaplain to the University of South Carolina Gamecocks football team. For the past 11 years, I have had the thrill of seeing the lives of young football players changed by Christ.
The effects of my CIU education are still evident. My passion for God and His Word continue to grow, as I strive to maintain a solid grounding in the accurate, bold teaching of biblical truth.
