We've wanted to tell you about Vampiro for some time, and you won't believe what he's been through. In January, ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents responded to a call from NYC Animal Care & Control about a six-year-old Chihuahua who had been abandoned in a pet store.
The dog, Vampiro, was just skin and bones. At the ASPCA Animal Hospital, veterinarians found Vampiro to be emaciated, dehydrated and suffering from an untreated skin ailment, all caused by prolonged inadequate nutrition. He was also found to be blind. Our vets gave Vampiro IV fluids, medication, water and a balanced diet right away.
Meanwhile, AC&C told us that Vampiro had been adopted in 2006 by Brooklyn resident Venus Laventure, 50. On February 25, the ASPCA arrested Laventure. She was charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, she faces up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. She is due in court on May 13.
After a few months at the ASPCA, Vampiro is doing much better. In fact, he'll soon be made available for adoption—and his future family is in for a treat! Vampiro is a sweetheart who loves to give doggie kisses.
I would love to adopt him and give him a home where he would never need to worry about food or being abandoned ever again. And also a sister and brother chihuahua to take care of him as well.
I hope this F***ng bitch who starved this poor dog will die of suffer and die of cancer. I pray that includes his family and children. You BITCH, how could you!!!!!!
$1, 000 is nothing! She should do time!
Laws need to change to be harsher for people who do this. If you harm an animal, the maximum sentence is a fine and 5 years max I believe. It should be longer, I would protect my animals with my life. My kitties are my babies, seeing this is so sad. TO think that poor baby had to starve almost to death. I hope that woman gets time, I hope she can never have animals, I hope one day she goes hungry. It is just so upsetting that these people don't even care, how could she look at him and think that was ok? I hope this little doggy gets the best future he could have, and his life is now filled with love and treats.
Its terrible that anyone would do this. But to be honest im glad they left it at a place where someone would care for it. most people would have just let it die. or killed it themselves. its better this way. honestly its very likely it belonged to somone who wanted to care for it and then couldnt. Thats possible but it was just plane neglect then yea even worse.
Poor baby so thankful he was rescued and I do hope that justice is served how inhumane just so sad.
Omg!! Is really sad how people can damage all this beautiful animal!! But is more hart see some people don't care abut see this and don't care and call the police!! To stop this abuse !! :-( I am so happy for vampire he desert a new life and people how love him!!! And this people don't desert never again to be able to adopt Abu animal never again!!! And be in jail!! For years!!! To learn !! My blessing to vampiro !!
The person who adopted this dog should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and NEVER allowed to adopt or own a pet again!! How cruel to starve this little guy! I hope she gets the same fate one day!!
im glad the woman was charged but the penalty is not near enough she should get 2 years in jail for each count abondonment , neglect , abuse , cruelty and attempted murder of an animal , if punishment was harsher there would be less cruelty , but thankyou ASPCA for being there for this baby

It would be like requiring that I completely respect a neighbor who routinely conducts animal sacrifice in his yard or conducts seances in his basement.
I'd be okay with the seances in their own basement. If they subscribed to the belief and tried to force a seance in my home, that is when the line is crossed.
Animal sacrifice: not okay with. I'd report that. I believe that most living beings should not be afforded the trial of physical pain through suffering unless their actions merit a death penalty. But then we get to moral relativism.
I simply refuse to accept that in order to be a nice person I have to accept any such lunacy without the right to express derision and even ridicule.
I don't think you are currently denied any rights of this nature. But you cannot expect the seance neighbor to think you are nice if you do not let him come into your house and perform his seance that he strongly believes will benefit you or himself.
I really think we NEED to do this and it is a big part of why I now identify as an Atheist
.....eh…. Lost me. You identify yourself as an atheist ....because you believe atheists encourage or embrace people who deride and ridicule?
I truly believe in moving the bar from it's current state of acceptance to one of a "freedom to disrespect".
If the religious have a problem with that then I say" earn my respect for your beliefs through rational discourse or do not mention them in my presence."
In my experience, that approach has never worked with my theist friends. It's combative and not normally how the social greasings of the world work, in my experience. Do you have any criteria that, if followed, a theist could discuss his beliefs and earn your respect or would you require them to declare god is a hoax before they earned your respect.

Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose autoimmune hepatitis and distinguish it from other causes of liver injury
When to Get Tested?
When you have hepatitis that your health practitioner suspects may be due to an autoimmune-related process
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Liver kidney microsome type 1 (anti-LKM-1) antibodies are autoantibodies, proteins produced by the body's immune system that recognize and target its own enzyme called cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), a protein found primarily in liver cells. The development of anti-LKM-1 antibodies is strongly associated with type 2 autoimmune hepatitis. This test detects and measures the amount (titer) of anti-LKM-1 (or antibody against CYP2D6) in the blood.
Autoimmune hepatitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the liver that can lead to liver cirrhosis and, in some cases, to liver failure. It is hepatitis that is not due to another identifiable cause, such as a viral infection, exposure to a drug or toxin, a hereditary disorder, or alcohol abuse. Anyone can develop the disorder, but the majority of those affected are women.
There are two main types of autoimmune hepatitis. Type 1 is the most common form of autoimmune hepatitis in the United States and is associated with the presence of smooth muscle antibodies (SMA) in the blood. Type 2 is less common and tends to be more severe. It is associated with anti-LKM-1 antibodies and primarily affects young girls and is more common in Europe than in the United States.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

FOXBORO, Mass. – The Miami University football team dropped a 17-10 decision to the University of Massachusetts on Saturday night inside Gillette. The contest was the first under interim head coach Mike Bath.
UMass got on the board first, scoring from 22 yards out when A.J. Doyle found Elgin Long in the middle of the field to take a 7-0 lead with 5:51 left in the first. Massachusetts tried to extend their lead, but a 54-yard field-goal attempt went wide left as the RedHawks took over at their own 36-yard line.
Seven plays and 64 yards later, senior quarterback Austin Boucher found senior tight end Steve Marck in the flat for a 13-yard touchdown with 13:20 left in the second quarter to knot the score at 7-7.
The Minutemen threatened to reclaim the lead at the end of the half, but junior defensive back Chrishawn Dupuy came up with a huge interception on the RedHawks' 2-yard line to end the second quarter.
After forcing a Massachusetts punt to begin the second half, the RedHawks drove 54 yards on 12 plays to set up a 45-yard field goal by sophomore Kaleb Patterson to give Miami a 10-7 lead midway through the third quarter.
Moments later, UMass looked to have thrown its third interception of the afternoon, but instead the ball ricocheted off the hands of senior defensive back Dayonne Nunley and into the arms of tight end Rob Blanchflower for a 47-yard touchdown. The Minutemen would reclaim the lead at 14-10 with 3:17 left in the third quarter.
UMass would tack on a 25-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for the final score of the game.
Miami had a season-high 290 yards of offense, finishing the game with 19 first downs, also a season-best.
Boucher was 14-of-34 passing for 166 yards and one touchdown and three interceptions in the contest.
Junior wide receiver Dawan Scott led Miami in both rushing (55) and receiving (58) yards. Freshman wide receiver Jared Murphy made his first career start, ending the contest with four receptions for 38 yards.
Defensively, sophomore linebacker Kent Kern had his fourth double-digit tackling performance of the season, finishing the game with 10 stops.
The RedHawks had a season-best 11.0 tackles for loss, led by senior linebacker Chris Wade (2.0).
Miami will face Akron next weekend (Oct. 19) inside Yager Stadium. Opening kick is slated for 1 p.m.

Genna Martin / The Herald
Fans cheers on the Stealth after Washington's 12-11 victory over the Edmonton Rush.
They trailed the Edmonton Rush 6-0 two minutes into the second quarter of the National Lacrosse League West Division semifinal Saturday night at Comcast Arena. To that point, the Stealth struggled in just about every facet of the game..
Two hours later, they were celebrating one of the biggest comebacks in franchise history. Mounting a furious second-half rally, the Stealth defeated Edmonton 12-11 to earn a berth in next Saturday's West Division final against the Calgary Roughnecks in Calgary.
"How could you not love this game? That was unbelievable," Stealth head coach Chris Hall said after Saturday's victory. "That was a great moment in sport I really thought. That was a fantastic display of any sport."
The outcome was headed a different direction in the first half.
Corey Small scored three of Edmonton's first six goals to help the Rush open up what looked to be an insurmountable lead.
Stealth goalkeeper Tyler Richards, who at times this season has carried his team to victory, gave up five goals in 41⁄2 minutes and was replaced by Matt Roik after Edmonton went up 6-0.
"It was one of those games where you say, 'Tyler get a breather and we'll see if Matt can sort us out a little bit," Hall said. "Roiker went in and he was calm and collected and made a couple of good stops for us."
Richards said Roik was the only person to say anything to him when he was removed from the game.
"As he was trotting onto the field, he said, 'go take a breather and get your focus back. You got this,'" Richards said.
The first 17 minutes of the game had been a nightmare for the Stealth. No offense, no defense, no goals.
"What's the worst that could happen?" Stealth forward Rhys Duch said. "Pretty much the worst is already there. We've got to get ourselves going and we need to get on the board."
The Stealth did just that. Duch broke the scoreless streak with a power play goal with 10:57 remaining in the second quarter.
"The first goal was absolutely ugly," he said. "I don't think I've scored an uglier goal. It went off like three things and bounced behind them. You know what, sometimes you need that one to get going."
Each team scored one more time before the end of the second quarter and the Stealth trailed 7-2 at halftime.
In the Stealth locker room at intermission, everyone understood what had to be done, Hall said.
"It was pretty simple," he said. "We've got 30 minutes or it's over. ... What have we got? Let's see what we've got."
The Stealth turned up their intenisty in a hurry after halftime. Duch, the NLL's regular-season goals leader, scored twice in the first minute and four seconds of the third quarter to cut Edmonton's lead to 7-4. He finished with four goals, his third straight four-goal game and 12th game of the season with three or more goals.
Rookie Tyler Garrison scored twice in the quarter as well. The first came on a breakaway off a pass from Richards. The second was an acrobatic diving shot in front Edmonton's net that beat Rush goalie Aaron Bold and made the score 9-7.
Both goals were instrumental in shifting momentum in favor of the Stealth.
"The boys are letting me know, it's pretty nice, but at the time I thought it was just another goal," Garrison said. "My first playoff goal in my first playoff game, I was riding high."
After struggling in the first half, Richards turned into a brick wall in the second half, turning away shot after shot. However, his biggest play of the game wasn't a save, it was a pass.
With time nearly expired in the third quarter, Richards saved an Edmonton shot, looked up the floor and delivered a perfect pass to Mike Grimes, who caught the ball in stride and fired a shot past Bold as the clock ran out.
"That was a giant goal for us, obviously," Hall said. "And Grimes has been magic for us all year. At the buzzer — I think it was a giant motivator because now we are within one with a quarter to go. It was a fantastic goal."
The Stealth's momentum continued with Washington scoring the first three goals of the fourth quarter to take a 12-10 lead. Edmonton's Jarrett Davis scored with 5:12 to play, but Washington held on down the stretch with Richards making several key saves in the final seconds to preserve the win.
"It was important to follow the ball, stay calm and just get the body in front of it," Richards said. "I made a good save on (Corey) Small and one of our guys got a piece of the second shot in the middle there.
"The rest is history.
Richards recovered from his shaky start to save 41 of the 52 shots he faced. Small led Edmonton with three goals and three assists.
After the game, Stealth players and coaches were all smiles.
"It's unbelievable," Garrison said. "It's definitely the biggest win that I've ever been a part of. It was absolutely crazy. The boys were so high after a huge comeback like that."

Great info. Thanks!
At Del's Chalk talk on Saturday.
Del was sweating and had a towel for his head when he came in since he just finished working out. He spoke for 40 minutes.
Says he enjoys his job and coming to work every day.
Stress reaction for AD is a little different from a similar condition with a more mature player since he had such a recent growth spurt and his bones may not be as hard - trying to make sure that it won't reoccur.
Gordon wanted to rehab here but Hornets sent him to LA so he could get full attention since training staff was busy with rest of team and could not devote full attention. He rehabs from 8:30 until 2:30-3:00 every day. CP3 had a similar weakness in his quad after his knee injury. Hornets trainers strengthened it and he has not had any more knee problems. He sought out the training staff during Olympic trials and thanked them for their treatment. Now Gordon's quad is 65-70% strength, up from about 10% when he went to LA.
Hornets have a large staff for player development including 2 bigs on staff - I think he said they have 8 so each position get individual attention. Said Pops was a little upset with him since he took them with him from San Antonio. His Christmas present from Pops has gotten smaller.
Warrick trade was strictly a favor to Warrick, a good guy, so that he could get minutes. And saved a little money and opened a roster spot if needed, maybe for a D-League player on a tear.
Championship team model needed 3 all star caliber players. One of those does not have to be at point guard. Vasquez could be fine at point with 3 such players. He asked who is better: Mario Chalmers (Heat) or Vasquez and consensus in crowd was GV was better.
Says Hornets were going to be in great shape salary cap wise next year, with lot of money to spend along with Houston and Utah.
Commenting on the colors and name was above his pay grade.
Wow some interesting stuff. The Warrick thing is pretty much exactly like I thought, and them sending Gordon is interesting and encouraging, though it wont change the mind of Gordon haters.
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
really good insight..thank you for that..vasquez will be our pg for the long haul like I thought he would be...love it
this was interesting....thanks!
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Stand by what I said, in 3 years with experience a high draft pick and all the money we have to spend we will be a top 5 team for a long time, hope we can land Otto porter or shabazz
You really think they sent gordon? Sounds like some PR moves....

Thanks for the info btw oceanback.
"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
10%! Gordon was playing on one leg! Hope this rehab stint is legit cure. I worry that Gordon has a chronic or debilitative knee condition. The dreaded "microfracture" surgery was apparently considered last year. If it really is just a matter of getting his quad up to strength, then I feel a lot better about his longterm future, and the team's...
Like I said, random percentages FTW!
Was his knee down to 10% full strength. Like if his knee was at 100, it went all the way down to down to 10. Or did it LOSE 10%. So it's down to 90? But he got back 65% of what he lost or some other numbers stuff that I'm way to lazy to think on.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
What will happen first: End of World by Mayan predictions or Hornets are at full strength AD and EG return?

When 18-year-old Rachel Verinder inherits a costly and religiously precious gem from her corrupt uncle, who acquired the object by force during a tour with the British Royal Forces in India, little does she know that total mayhem will ensue when the diamond is almost immediately stolen - kicking off a convoluted series of events in which suspicion and despair reign supreme....
Actor James Langton performs this unmissable 19th-century literary mystery with stately elegance, his strong pacing revitalizing the suspense of this classic tale, considered by esteemed mystery writer Dorothy Sayers to be "probably the very finest detective story ever written".
Called "the first and greatest of English detective novels" by T. S. Eliot, Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone is a masterpiece of suspense.
A fabulous yellow diamond becomes the dangerous inheritance of Rachel Verinder. Outside her Yorkshire country house watch the Hindu priests who have waited for many years to reclaim their ancient talisman, looted from the holy city of Somnauth.
When the Moonstone disappears, the case looks simple, but in mid-Victorian England, no one is what they seem, and nothing can be taken for granted. Witnesses, suspects, and detectives each narrate the story in turn. The bemused butler, the love-stricken housemaid, the enigmatic detective Sergeant Cuff, the drug-addicted scientist - each speculate on the mystery as Collins weaves their narratives together.
Public Domain (P)2010 Tantor
"The first and greatest of English detective novels." (T. S. Eliot)
College English professor who loves classic literature, psychology, neurology and hates pop trash like Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.
"If you liked The Woman In White..."
you will love The Moonstone. Once again, Collins uses his brilliant device of multiple narratives to create a rich, layered story full of complicated and wonderfully drawn characters interacting in complicated and marvelously believable circumstances to bring into being a simply fascinating mystery that compels the reader to go on and on until the end is finally reached. Since it is a mystery, I will not reveal too much of the plot, but simply say that if you love suspense and finely crafted literature, this is a book that you cannot miss--and once you begin, you will not be able to put it down.
"The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins"
Its quaintness, its prose and its setting. I realise that it is considered to be the first detective novel, but by giving it a notional genre, there is a danger that it will be limited to that in the reader's expectation. It is much, much more than a detective novel. And it is very much a novel of its era. I believe that it was released in serial format initially and it lends itself to this very well. There is a gentle antiquity to it and reading a chapter or two then having an enforced break (while the author writes the next two chapters perhaps!) is a charming way to consume this book. Especially in this world of endless racing and pacing.
No, not on the edge of my seat - it is a mystery but not a thriller. Being set in and written in the 19th century, it reflects that slower epoch.In fact, the plot was unbelievable in these times, but it was a vehicle for the other aspects of the novel, like the writing, the construction and the 'twist in the tail'.
I thought this was an excellent novel for reading aloud. I liked the sound of the narrator's voice and was impressed by his ability to draw the characters in my mind with his changes voice for each one.His pace was good, not too slow so that the story dragged on and on - it is a long book, but not so fast that I felt rushed by the speed of his delvery.Wonderful diction too.
No, I enjoyed listening to it as and when I had time. I liked being able to return to the beginning of chapters if I had been away for a while, or just going back 30 seconds in order to refresh my memory.
"Great Narrator! Surprisingly Interesting!"
I loved the narrator. He did a really great job with the distinctive characters' voices.
My favorite part was when the book was describing the religious zeal of one of the characters and how much it annoyed others, unbeknownst to her. It seemed very contemporary in that way!
Oh, I don't know about that. This story isn't something you rush and it is too long for that. But, there were times I wish I didn't have to stop listening.
I got this book only because it was cheap. At first, I was afraid it would be a little boring. However, it really picks up after the prologue. I especially love the parts narrated by the character of Gabriel Betteredge. You really get to know and love (or hate) the various characters in this book. It is interesting to look at the characters through the different interpretations of the each of the narrators. Although there is plenty of mystery surrounding the Moonstone, don't be expecting a fact-paced suspense novel. However, I was glad it took so long to resolve the mystery. It gives time for character development, as well as twists and turns of plot. It was well worth the money.
"Wilkie Collins"
Mysterious authentic captivating
Wilkie Collins Classic & original one of all time greatest mystery writers. Excellent reads/ listens 8) EVERY TIME!
"Good story"
I liked it ok. Miss Clack was a hoot. I've known "Christians" like her. I pray no one ever thinks I am. ;) it had good twists and turns. There were several things that I felt were left unresolved tho.
An old broad that enjoys books of all types. Would rather read than write reviews though. I know what I like, and won't be bothered by crap.
"I tried 3 times to get through this book..."
It is a little dated and I could not keep awake listening to it. Perhaps have different narrators when the story is told by someone new?
It supposed to be a classic so I wouldn't change anything.
I thought it was too slow but so was the story's pace.
Not for me. I love a good mystery but could not get interested in this one.
"classic mystery!"
yes, to revisit the characters of the story.
The twists and turns the story took until the end, it kept you guessing on who was the culprit!!
"Not as good as other Collins stories"
The narration was very good, but the story itself was disappointing, very drawn out with too many loose ends and some unbelievable aspects. The Woman in White is much more dramatic and better organized.
Tangential, eclectic, avid listener... favorite book is the one currently in ear.
"Written 1878 - you'd never know"
I super enjoyed this little mystery. If it had been written today I would have given a 4... but a writer from 1878 holding my attention fully earned my 5. Said to be the first detective mystery... with a little romance on the side. Much like Mr. Collin's "Lady in White" with a slightly less convoluted plot. Male voices more enjoyable than the females... but nice job on narration.

RYAN VREDE, in London, writes that Francois Louw has made the transition from competent Test openside flank to a world-class one who is indispensable to the Springboks' cause.
At the outset of his tenure Heyneke Meyer rejected the notion that an international side with ambitions of dominating the game could achieve that end with a openside that was solely deployed to slow or steal breakdown ball. He argued that you need an all-rounder, equally adept at the aforementioned discipline as he is at carrying the ball effectively to and beyond the gainline.
In the absence of Schalk Burger, Marcell Coetzee fit the bill for Meyer. Prodigiously gifted, on form, abrasive, energetic and possessing a degree of mongrel that Burger would approve of, Coetzee was the right selection. That is, the right selection in the context of Meyer's reservations about looking beyond the borders of South Africa for a candidate.
Louw had excelled in his first season at Bath, earning plaudits from England's most respected observers, many of whom wondered in their broadsheet and website columns and on their radio and television shows why Louw was not in the Springboks frame. Some were incredulous, Stuart Barnes among them. 'Louw can be as good as McCaw,' he waxed.
Coetzee acquitted himself well against England and in the early rounds of the Rugby Championship, but he was undoubtedly raw, requiring further education in the subtleties of a position he is unfamiliar with (he had spent most of his career at No 8). Meyer had a great appreciation for Louw's ability when he took the job, but solving his openside problem with a foreign-based solution didn't sit comfortably. However, Louw has, on the strength of his performances, more than any advanced the cause of Europe-based players.
To single out a player in a game that operates on the cause and effect principle as strongly as rugby does is sometimes dangerous. When the Springboks have been physical and accurate at the gainline on defence, Louw has shone. But even when they haven't his influence has not been so significantly diluted that he becomes anonymous in this facet of play. He shares this ability with McCaw and is learning to push the boundaries in the manner the All Blacks' irrepressible skipper does.
And while it would be remiss to credit his transition for good to very good on his northern exposure (there is something to be said for the natural rise in potency of gifted young players like Louw who have yet to peak) entirely, it has played a significant role in shaping the player we now see.
'I've got to give credit to the guys at Bath. I played under Sir Ian McGeechan last year and added different dimensions to my game. This year under Gary Gold and his staff has been equally educational,' he told keo.co.za. 'You try and pick up things as you go along and add that to your skills base. I'm happy it's got me back with the Boks. The Springboks were and will always be No 1 for me.
'The game has changed. More players are now looking to play abroad. Of course its important to keep players in South Africa, but there is value for international coaches looking at players based abroad.'
Meyer was liberal in his praise of Louw, but tempered that by pointing out that he was in superior physical condition given that the northern hemisphere's season is in its infancy. Still, he was bold in saying: 'He is up there with the best in the world at this stage.
'I thought he was brilliant and has been every single game he has played. The thing I like about him is that while he is very, very good on the ground, he can also carry and break the line. He forces guys back in defence because he is quick despite being 112kg and very powerful. In the last three or four matches he has been close to the Man of the Match every time.'
The strength of the Springboks' defence at present is not incidental. Louw's contributions at ground zero have been telling in allowing his defensive line to set. He forced a penalty on his 5m line when Scotland looked like scoring a try just before half-time. It was, in light of what would unfold in the second half, an absolutely vital moment in the context of the result. With the Springboks relying so heavily on defence to win matches, Louw's importance cannot be overstated.
Louw will be pushed hard in the years ahead when Burger returns from injury, if Coetzee develops in the manner he is expected to and if Heinrich Brussow can stay fit and rekindle the form that made him the world's best openside in 2009. This is a healthy situation and hopefully inspires Louw to elevate his play.
This Test season will not be remembered fondly by the Springboks and their supporters, but it should be noted that it is the one Louw came of age as a Test player.

Last year in Texas, a scared little white pup named Diamond arrived at the City of Abilene's municipal shelter. She was dirty, painfully matted and very scared. No one knew it at the time, but she was also deaf.
If Diamond had arrived at the shelter a year earlier, she may never have found her happy ending. But the folks who work at the City of Abilene shelter are especially dedicated and strongly committed to saving animals' lives. Naturally, they jumped at the chance to take part in the ASPCA's Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project, unveiled in September.
Part of the ASPCA Animal Relocation Initiative, the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project helps cash-strapped municipal shelters like Abilene's relocate dogs to off-site adoption programs, rescues or private shelters by providing municipal shelters $50 per dog placed. That money can be spent on vet care for an animal, transportation of the pet, or on anything else that will help move the animal out of the shelter.
For Diamond, this program was a godsend. Abilene was able to use the Petrie subsidy to move her to The Pawed Squad rescue. After a desperately needed grooming, Diamond revealed herself to be an adorable little Bichon Frise! She also came out of her shell and showed she would make a wonderful companion.
Soon after rescuing Diamond, the Pawed Squad was able to place her in a loving home that cherishes her every day. Her deafness was never an issue for these awesome adopters.
Congratulations to Abilene, The Pawed Squad rescue and Diamond's happy family. We're so glad the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project is changing lives like hers and thousands of others.
Want to help support our efforts to find homes for thousands of homeless pets like Diamond? Please consider becoming an ASPCA Guardian today.
It make's me feel so happy to see happy endings like this. I give what i can,but seeing these story's I wish I could give more.
I live in Jamestown NY - close to I90 between Erie Pa and Buffalo NY I would love to help dogs that need a ride. Please contact me anytime.
how do I sign up to drive dogs when/where I can?
She gives a whole new meaning to "a Diamond in the Rough." What a gem she turned out to be and what gems all who work to rescue pets are!
I can help with tranport in Indiana, and sorrounding States.
This story just made my day a whole lot brighter! God bless Diamond, her new family, and all those who helped to make it possible for her to go to her loving and forever home.
i donate to your program but i can also give these special little one's or even big one's rides to wherever they need to go so let me know how i can help
I would love to help be a part of the animal transport team.
I am in NE PA and would like to find out more about the program for giving dogs a ride to their new homes or to meet another driver on one leg of the trip for the dog.
many thanks,
It is for happy endings like Diamond that I became a "Guardian", donating monthly to the ASPCA and remembering the ASPCA in my will. She looks so happy and beautiful and thankful for the wonderful caring people that helped her. I donate to my local shelter also and have left them a gift in my will along with ASPCA. A dog teaches us love, loyalty, and undying friendship and devotion....why wouldn't we want to help them in need. Mary Vasel

Left ventricular hypertrophy is enlargement (hypertrophy) of the muscle tissue that makes up the wall of your heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle).
Left ventricular hypertrophy develops in response to some factor, such as high blood pressure, that requires the left ventricle to work harder. As the workload increases, the walls of the chamber grow thicker, lose elasticity and eventually may fail to pump with as much force as that of a healthy heart.
Left ventricular hypertrophy is more common in people who have uncontrolled high blood pressure or other heart problems. Treating high blood pressure can help ease your symptoms and may reverse the left ventricular hypertrophy.
Left ventricular hypertrophy usually develops gradually. You may experience no signs or symptoms, especially during the early stages of the condition. As left ventricular hypertrophy progresses and complications develop, you may experience these left ventricular hypertrophy symptoms:
Call 911 or your local emergency number if you feel chest pain that lasts more than a few minutes or have severe difficulty breathing. If you experience mild shortness of breath or other symptoms, such as palpitations, see your doctor.
If you have high blood pressure or another condition that increases your risk of left ventricular hypertrophy, talk to your doctor about regular appointments to monitor your heart. Even if you feel well, you need to have your blood pressure checked annually, or more often if you smoke, are overweight or have other conditions that increase the risk of high blood pressure.
Left ventricular hypertrophy can happen when one or more things make your heart work harder than normal to pump blood to your body. For example, if you have high blood pressure, the muscles of the left ventricle must contract more forcefully than normal in order to counter the effect of the elevated blood pressure.
The work of adapting to high blood pressure may result in larger muscle tissue in the walls of the left ventricle. The increase in muscle mass causes the heart to function poorly.
Some factors that can cause your heart to work harder include the following:
Risk factors for left ventricular hypertrophy include the following:
Left ventricular hypertrophy changes both the structure and function of the chamber:
Complications that can occur as a result of these problems include:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor. After your initial appointment, your doctor may refer you to a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions (cardiologist).
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment and know what to expect from your doctor.
Questions to ask your doctor at your initial appointment include:
Questions to ask if you are referred to a cardiologist include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask additional questions during your appointment.
A doctor or cardiologist who sees you for heart-related signs and symptoms may ask:
While you wait for your appointment, check with your family members to find out if any close relatives have been diagnosed with heart disease. The symptoms of left ventricular hypertrophy are similar to a number of other heart conditions, including some that tend to run in families. Knowing as much as possible about your family's health history will help your doctor determine next steps for your diagnosis and treatment.
If exercise makes your symptoms worse, avoid strenuous activity until you've been seen by your doctor.
If you have signs and symptoms associated with heart disease — such as shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations or others — your doctor will examine your heart function and choose the best treatment.
If you have high blood pressure, your doctor may order heart-related tests as part of the ongoing management of the condition.
Screening tests for left ventricular hypertrophy include:
Echocardiogram. An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce live-action images of the heart. This common test enables your doctor to watch your ventricles squeezing and relaxing and valves opening and closing in rhythm with your heartbeat.
The echocardiogram is a primary tool for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy. If you have left ventricular hypertrophy, your doctor will be able to see thickening of muscle tissue in the left ventricle. An echocardiogram can also reveal how much blood is pumped from the heart with each beat and how stiff the heart muscle is. It may also show related heart abnormalities, such as aortic valve stenosis.
Treatment for left ventricular hypertrophy focuses on the underlying cause of the condition. Depending on the cause, treatment may involve medication or surgery.
Treatment for high blood pressure usually includes both medications and lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise; a low-sodium, low-fat diet; and no smoking.
In addition to lowering blood pressure, some high blood pressure drugs may prevent further enlargement of left ventricle muscle tissue and may even shrink your hypertrophic muscles. Blood pressure drugs that may reverse muscle growth include the following:
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors widen, or dilate, blood vessels to lower blood pressure, improve blood flow and decrease the workload on the heart. Examples include enalapril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril) and captopril (Capoten).
ACE inhibitors cause an irritating cough in some people. It may be best to put up with the cough, if you can, to gain the medication's benefits. Discuss this side effect with your doctor. Switching to another ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin II receptor blocker may help.
If you've already been diagnosed with sleep apnea, treating this sleep disorder can help shrink left ventricular hypertrophy. If you haven't been diagnosed with sleep apnea, but your partner tells you that you snore or that you stop breathing momentarily while you sleep, talk with your doctor about getting tested for sleep apnea. Treatment for sleep apnea involves using a machine that provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) while you sleep. This keeps your airways open, allowing you to get the oxygen you need to keep your blood pressure at a normal level.
If left ventricular hypertrophy is caused by aortic valve stenosis, you may have surgery to remove the narrow valve and replace it with either an artificial valve or a tissue valve from a pig, cow or deceased human donor. If you have aortic valve regurgitation, the leaky valve may be surgically repaired or replaced.
Although they are not a treatment specifically for left ventricular hypertrophy, the cholesterol-lowering medications known as statins may help treat left ventricular hypertrophy. Clinical trials are currently being done to see if statins are a useful treatment for this disorder.
Lifestyle changes can help lower your blood pressure and improve left ventricular hypertrophy symptoms. Helpful changes you can make include:
The best way to help prevent left ventricular hypertrophy is to maintain healthy blood pressure. Here are a few tips to better manage your blood pressure:

Inline & Roller Skates
Inline & Roller Skates
Product Selection
Fun On Wheels: Learn More About Skates & Roller Blades
Skate in style with inline skates and roller blades designed to give you speed while keeping you safe.
The latest inline skates and roller blades promote comfort during your ride. Discover adult and girls roller skates for your active lifestyle.
Kids skates come in fun colors and designs that help youngsters make their mark on the skate rink. Sport inline skates are built with an aggressive construction that supports your foot and ankle during swift movements.
Select from a variety of wheel sizes, ranging from 69 to 100 mm. Choose from aluminum and composite frames from popular brands, including DBX®, Roller Derby® and Rollerblade®.
Buying Tips
Understanding the different types of available skates helps you choose the pair thats right for you:
- Recreational Inline Skates: Also referred to as "fitness skates", recreational skates are for beginning skaters or those that want a greater amount of control or maneuverability. Offering more support with a reinforced cuff, Recreational skates are often the most popular with those interested in casual use for routine enjoyment or exercise.
- Inline Roller Hockey Skates: Similar to the style and construction of ice hockey skates, inline hockey skates are designed for roller hockey. Frequently with leather uppers and lace-up closure systems, these skates have smaller wheels for control and no breaking system.
- Women's Inline Skates: Similar in every way to the mens version, women's inline skates vary in the foot shape and sizing specific to women. While some women may be able to wear mens inline skates, generally skates specifically designed for women should be their first choice.
- Aggressive Inline Skates: Designed to be more maneuverable, stronger and more durable than normal inline skates, aggressive inline skates are used in skating that focuses on stunts and tricks.
Expert Advice
Keep in mind these tips when buying new inline skates:
- Rotate wheels every week to avoid excessive wear & more often for aggressive inline skaters
- Budget safety equipment into your purchase: Knee pads, wrist guards, elbow pads and helmets
- Brands of inline skates have differing size tendencies
Sizing is essential for your new skatesconsult product information for specifics on each brand.
Skates run 1 to 1.5 sizes smaller than typical street shoes. Skates should fit snug and support the ankle, particularly for inline skates. Keep in mind that you will wear socks beneath your skates.

Paris is a relatively safe city, as cities go, and recently, I was having a discussion with someone about places to be wary about traveling to and was told that the only place in the world that they felt unsafe was in….San Francisco. (And they were from Naples!) So anything can happen anywhere in the world and petty crime sometimes occurs in places where you don't expect it, like museums, hotel dining rooms, and restaurants.
Sometimes it's just bad luck. Other times, it's a lapse of common sense. For example, if you wear fancy jewels or tote a pricey handbag on the métro, there is probably someone on there that loves your gold Rolex as much as you do. On public transit, it's especially easy to "grab and go" things because once the doors shut and the train pulls away, the damage is done. (If that does happen to you, notify the driver at the next station; sometimes they will call security for you and alert others on the train to be careful.) In cases where your wallet is stolen, they will sometimes remove the cash right away and toss everything else in the trash, or even on the ground, as it's hard to prove that a wad of cash is stolen. So sometimes you do get your wallet back. (A friend had the wallet lifted from her purse, which was next to her in a restaurant. After the diner next to her quickly left before eating, when she realized what had happened, the waitress found her wallet on the ground just outside.)
Wily pickpockets blend in well. It's easy to categorize people by how they dress or look, or their nationality, but pros know how to mix in. Someone who leads tours in Italy pointed out the pickpockets at her outdoor market, some posing as young couples on their honeymoon and I never would have suspected a thing. I've shooed away a few young women "tourists", looking lost as they tried to read their maps in Barcelona, using the maps to cover up their hands as they rifled through people's belonging. I've seen the same ruse in Paris and it's a shame that we have to be careful when helping someone who is ostensibly lost.

Other Problems to be Considered:
Mycosis fungoides
Lab Studies:
- Potassium hydroxide preparation and/or fungal culture to exclude tinea are often indicated for dermatitis of the hands and feet.
- Patch testing
- Patch testing is required to identify the external chemicals to which the person is allergic. The greatest quality-of-life benefits from patch testing occur in patients with recurrent or chronic ACD. Patch testing is most cost effective and reduces the cost of therapy in patients with severe ACD.
- Patch testing must be performed by health care providers trained in the proper technique. Most dermatologists can perform patch testing using the TRUE test (consult the Physicians' Desk Reference), which can identify relevant allergies in as many as one half of affected patients. More extensive patch testing is indicated to identify allergies to chemicals not found in the TRUE test. Such testing typically is available only in a limited number of dermatology offices and clinics.
- Patch testing procedure
- Small amounts of appropriate labeled dilutions of chemicals are applied to the skin and occluded for 2 days.
- Patch tests may be left on for 3 days before removal.
- For reasons of scheduling, a chemical must remain under a skin patch for a minimum of 1 day to produce a positive patch test reaction 2-7 days following initial application.
- The patch test must be read not only at 48 hours, when the patch tests customarily are removed, but again between 72 hours and 1 week following initial application.
- Small amounts of appropriate labeled dilutions of chemicals are applied to the skin and occluded for 2 days.
- Individuals with suspected ACD without positive reactions on the TRUE test or with chronic dermatitis or relapsing dermatitis, despite avoiding chemicals to which they are allergic (identified on TRUE test), need additional patch testing. Many individuals have more than 1 contact allergy and may be allergic to 1 or more chemicals found on the TRUE test and on special allergen trays or series. Testing to more allergens increases accuracy of the diagnosis of ACD. Selection of allergens for testing requires consideration of the patient's history and access to appropriate environmental contactants.
- Certain chemicals (eg, neomycin) typically produce delayed positive patch test reactions at 4 days or later following initial application. A tendency exists for elderly patients to manifest positive patch test reactions later than younger patients. Do not perform patch testing on patients taking more than 15 mg per day of prednisone. Oral antihistamines may be used during the patch test period if required.
- Angry back syndrome or excited skin syndrome: If a patient has a large number of positive patch test reactions, retesting the patient sequentially to a small series of these allergens may be necessary to exclude nonspecific false-positive reactions. The syndrome most likely occurs in individuals who have active dermatitis at the time of patch testing or who have a strong positive patch test reaction, both of which may induce local skin hyperreactivity in the area where patches were applied.
- Additional patch test series or sets include the following:
- Corticosteroids, particularly tixocortol pivalate and budesonide
- Ingredients in cosmetics not found in the TRUE test
- Chemicals used in dentistry that may produce mucosal and lip dermatitis in dental clients or that may produce chronic dermatitis of the hands in dentists and dental team members
- Chemicals used in hairdressing that may produce facial, ear, and neck dermatitis in clients or chronic hand dermatitis or eyelid dermatitis in hairdressers
- Fragrances found in cosmetics and a wide range of consumer products
- Important allergens not found in the TRUE test that are frequent causes of ACD
- Bacitracin
- Acrylates used in dentistry, artificial nails, and printing
- Chemicals used in baking
- Pesticides (many cases of dermatitis attributed to pesticides result from other causes, particularly from plants such as poison ivy)
- Chemicals used in machining, eg, cutting oils and fluids
- Photographic chemicals used by photographers and photographic developers
- Plants excluding poison ivy
- Chemicals in plastics and glues
- Chemicals found in rubber products not included in the TRUE test
- Chemicals in shoes and clothing
- UV protective ingredients in sunscreens
- Other chemicals producing photo ACD
- Miscellaneous allergens
- Bacitracin
- The chemicals listed above are tested under Finn chambers or IQ patch test. In photopatch testing, the chemicals are applied in duplicate sets. One set receives 10 J/cm2 (or 1 J/cm2 less than minimum erythema dose to UV-A, whichever is lowest) of UV-A 24 hours after application of the allergens. The other series is protected from UV exposure to differentiate ACD and photo-accentuated ACD from photo ACD. Both sets are read at 48 hours after application, as well as at an additional time point as in routine patch testing.
- Corticosteroids, particularly tixocortol pivalate and budesonide
- Repeat open application test: For individuals who develop weak or 1+ positive reactions to a chemical, the repeat open application test (ROAT) is useful in determining whether the reaction is significant. ROAT is most useful when an individual has a 1+ reaction to a chemical found in a leave-on consumer product. For example, an individual with a weak reaction to a preservative found in a moisturizer may apply the moisturizer twice a day for a week to the side of the neck or behind an ear. If the individual applies it twice a day for a week without developing clinical dermatitis, the 1+ reaction likely was not meaningful. Conversely, if the individual develops dermatitis following a few days of repeated application of the suspected product, then the weak patch test reaction is highly relevant.
- Dimethylgloxime test: The dimethylgloxime test is a useful and practical way to identify metallic objects that contain enough nickel to provoke allergic dermatitis in individuals allergic to nickel. Dermatology staff may test suspected metal products in the office, or the individual may purchase a test kit and test objects at home or at work, particularly jewelry or metallic surfaces. Other chemical tests are available for other suspected allergens (eg, formaldehyde, chromate). Occasionally, chemical analyses may be necessary to determine whether a material contains a suspected allergen or to identify new unknown allergens.
- Skin biopsy may help exclude other disorders, particularly tinea, psoriasis, and cutaneous lymphoma. Skin biopsy of skin lesions of the palms and soles has several potential pitfalls, which include the following:
- The stratum corneum and epidermis are particularly thick on the palms and soles. This makes the histologic diagnosis of psoriasis more difficult and increases the possibility that the biopsy specimen will lack sufficient dermis for optimal diagnosis.
- An overly deep skin biopsy of the thenar area can cut the motor nerve, which is the recurrent branch of the median nerve.
- A biopsy from the sole may leave a chronic painful scar on which the patient must walk.
- The stratum corneum and epidermis are particularly thick on the palms and soles. This makes the histologic diagnosis of psoriasis more difficult and increases the possibility that the biopsy specimen will lack sufficient dermis for optimal diagnosis.
Histologic Findings: Histology of ACD is similar to that found in other forms of eczematous dermatitis. A pattern of subacute chronic dermatitis or acute dermatitis may be seen. The inflammatory infiltrate in the dermis predominately contains lymphocytes and other mononuclear cells. Epidermal edema (ie, spongiosis and microvesicle formation) may be seen, but these changes may be absent in long-standing dermatitis in which thickening of the epidermis (acanthosis) with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis may be seen in the epidermis and stratum corneum. ACD is provokes atypical T-cell infiltrates, simulating mycosis fungoides.

Wayne County Historical Museum
1150 N. A St.
Richmond Indiana 47374United States
(765) 962-5756
Editor's Review
The Wayne County Historical Museum is one of Indiana's best-kept secrets.
Indiana Jones had nothing on Indiana Julie, a real-life adventuress named Julia Meek Gaar who in the early 1900s traveled the world and collected cultural artifacts that she shipped back home to Richmond, Indiana. To house her treasures, she also bought an 1865 Quaker Meeting House and gave it to the local historical society. Eighty years later, the Wayne County Historical Museum still displays the fascinating things Julia found, as well as Richmond-area items that have national and even international significance. In the Mummy Room, look for the 3,000-year-old mummy Julia acquired in Egypt in 1929. Scholars have determined that the mummy is a male who died around age 35, and because one anthropologist used a CAT scan to reconstruct the mummy's face, you can even see what he looked like. The museum's authentic Conestoga Wagon is one of the legendary prairie schooners pioneers used on their westward migration. Checkout the exhibit of Westcott, Detroit Electric, Crosley and other early automobiles that likewise helped keep the nation moving. Other displays include dolls, dollhouses, furniture, pottery and cameras. The grounds also feature the county's oldest log schoolhouse (dating from 1812) and a two-story log residence built in 1823. The gift shop sells books on local history, candles, Folkmanis finger and hand puppets, pottery, toys and locally made goat-milk soap. Admission is $5, and worth it.
