My fundamental question is this: For every single moral human dilemma, is there a universal response or action that is universally "correct"? Let me throw a few questions out:
2. An Islamic pedophile woman sexually abuses babies but can not be executed since she is a virgin. Is it okay for the Islamic Guard to rape her so she can be executed the next day? After all, she deserves to die right?
3. If there is only one man and one woman left on Earth and for the survival of our species it is paramount they reproduce, but the woman vehemently rejects the man's approaches, is it okay for him to rape her to ensure the survival of our species?
If anyone wants to take a stab at the questions please, be my guest. My next point encompasses cultural relativism and how that all ties in with morality. Is there a morality that transcends all culture or should we always approach morality through the context in which it applies? In other words, do we have the right to tell a Venezuelan Shaman for example, that he should not allow children to snort DMT in order to enter a "spiritual plane"? Let me relay two similar but differing scenarios to illustrate what I am getting at:
Scenario 1
The Shaman provides DMT—the most powerful psychedelic on the planet—to his grandson in order for him to enter the "spiritual realm" ; this is part of his grandson's training
Scenario 2
The American father provides MDMA (ecstasy) to his son because it will allow them both to experience the football game in a way neither of them have ever experienced it before, one filled with togetherness and love.
Even if we can come to a conclusion here, who has the right to administer this morality? Who holds the key?

While most of the country celebrated as if they'd won the Webb Ellis Cup last Sunday, veteran lock Brad Thorn has reminded New Zealand that the job is not done yet.
The All Blacks thumped the Wallabies 20-6 at Eden Park, but there was a lot of nerves in the build up to that game. The Kiwis in the crowd rose as one when Craig Joubert blew the final whistle, and while there was a prominent sense of elation, there was also a strong sense of relief.
Many of the local media men had described this fixture as a final of sorts, and not many people have give France a chance in the official final this coming Sunday. When speaking at a media gathering in Auckland, Thorn said it would be foolish to believe that the win is a formality.
'Do you think anyone is going to care who won the semifinal in 2011? No-one is going to care. It's what happens this weekend,' said Thorn.
'We've got world-class opposition coming up against us. Both teams have to prepare and we'll see how it goes.'
The All Blacks will have a distinct advantage playing in front of a predominantly Kiwi crowd. Some said the team would choke due to the increased pressure of playing at home, but Thorn argued that the high level of local expectation has given this side a boost.
'The New Zealand public have been huge for us, from Stewart Island to the top of the North Island. Some people say it's like pressure, but to me it's a lift. New Zealand people are just loving it and really want us to do well.
'Growing up in Australia I can remember being a fan. For me in those moments when I bring my fist up to the crowd, it's like enjoying the moment with them. It's pretty special. Whatever happens [on Sunday] there will be a bit of sadness because this will be my last game in the black jersey. It's a special time for me out there. It's a good place for me to be.'
The 58-Test veteran said that New Zealand should be wary of an unpredictable French side.
'You look at the French, as soon as that [Welsh] player went off [in the semi-final] I knew they'd struggle. They'll come out and probably have a blinder this weekend. They've got an outstanding tight five, a loose trio up there with ours as best in the world, and dangerous backs.
'I won't be reading much [media] this week. I'm just preparing for a battle from the first minute to the 80th.'

I've had all three cookbooks from Moro in London stacked up in my apartment for about a year, and haven't made anything from them. They're very personal cookbooks, the recipes and photos invoking a time and place, with the food arcing between Moorish cooking and the foods of North Africa, along with the Middle East, nodding toward sustainability. I keep picking them up, leafing through them and looking at the lush, yet unfussy photos of food, but never tried any of the recipes.
Their most recent book, Moro East, was the result of their growing their own food in their "allotment"; a place on the outskirts of London where 81 people tended their own gardens and foraged for foods. The book begins with the sad warning that by the time readers pick up the book, the bulldozers will have plowed the century-old gardens under to make way for the upcoming Olympics, in order to create a pathway between two stadiums.

I think it was Dr. Kervorkian given the outcome.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
I'm starting to be of the opinion that Eric Gordon died last year and our medical staff just didn't catch it.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Handwerger: Future is bright for Hornets with or without Gordon
http://www.wwltv.com/sports/basketba...176709841.htmlNEW ORLEANS — Tony Parker sat in front of his locker in the visiting locker room at the New Orleans Arena on Wednesday, his shoulder wrapped in ice.
While savvy veteran had just put a dagger in the Hornets' hearts with a last-minute 3-pointer that led to the Spurs' 99-95 win, he wasn't looking back at that shot.
Instead, he was looking forward. Specifically, he was prognosticating the future.
"You have to give them a lot of credit," Parker, the San Antonio standout guard, said. "They fight. They played great tonight. They're going to be good in 2-3 years. They're going to be good."
Parker is right. The Hornets could be that good team, with one condition – Eric Gordon has to play.
Gordon is the player the Hornets were missing against San Antonio, the late-game assassin who would have taken a better shot than Greivis Vasquez was able to get off when the team needed a shot to match Parker's.
But Gordon didn't participate in training camp and is out indefinitely, meaning he's the soft prima donna who doesn't appear to be worth the four-year, $58 million max contract he signed this summer. At least, he hasn't shown it yet.
He has a mysterious right knee injury that was supposed to be fixed with surgery this spring but was still giving him and the training staff as well as head coach Monty Williams fits. Wednesday morning, Williams said the Hornets were still looking for some clarity on the injury.
Gordon is a difference maker and if he's in the lineup against San Antonio, the Hornets have a much better shot at walking out the Arena with a win. They have a player who has in his career hit big-time shots at big-time moments.
Instead, they left the Arena with a moral victory, though not a bad one.
For New Orleans, just looking across the floor provided a valuable enough experience.
Thought this was interesting:
Note to Hornets fans in a furor over EGordon's injury. Most major contracts in NBA are insured up to (around) 80%. Doctor report is HUGE!
I don't think they do -- which is really the main concern of fans. Don't really care if Benson saves $10 million or not... he just donated that much to Brother Martin a couple of hours ago.
Pretty much we've been getting lied to this whole time and wool placed over our eyes. I mean come on man, this is kind of disrespectful to wait for the season to start and NOW all of a sudden confess that there's a bigger problem with the knee. Also, this could've been 100% preventable had he not tried to play in the Olympics.
I don't only blame him but I also blame Demps and Monty because it seems as if they kinda had some knowledge of this guy's issue but didn't want to say anything unless they absolutely had to make a statement. Just a few days ago Demps said he wanted to process more "information" as in medical information from Gordon's doctors, dude why not just tell us this BEFORE the season started???!?!?!?!
So we now know we weren't simply resting Gordon during preseason, we were waiting to see if his knee was in less enough pain to potentially play.
This is BS, man.
I understand that we are all out of patience in this situation, but to me, I think Gordon is looking at his future in the league. 99% of all professional athletes are crazy egomaniacs who love the "positive" attention and limelight. Very rarely do players take big checks and do nothing. Yes, they often to not work AS HARD after fat contracts, but it is rare that they just quit.
IMO, Gordon is legitimately feeling pain, and being told that he should be feeling no pain. This is scaring Gordon. He had three full practices this week without limitations correct? It is clear that he can work through the pain, he is just worried that he may be doing permanent damage to his body.
There is a pretty big difference between knowing why you have pain, being able to play through it, and have clear understanding that the pain you feel is not ruining your body. Athletes in all sports battle this regularly.
When you have a situation where there should be NO pain, the pain is there, and no one can explain why....... this is a different situation all together. IMO Gordon is trying not to push himself until he can get some concrete answers. Yes it is frustrating, yes we would have probably won last night if he was on the court, but we are building for the future. A few extra losses at the beginning of this season will be nothing compared to having Gordon lost forever. I am still holding out hope that he will get the answers he needs, and we will see him performing at a high level for us this year.
Like Monty said, he didn't listen when people told him to sit out and it probably cost him 4 or 5 years of his career.
I am through with this clown. I haven't posted here in a while but I must with this situation. On the Clippers, he cries about not getting the ball. Then he gets traded and cries about being traded. Plays a few games and he's gone. Then he cries about the offer and claims "he deserves a max contract". Becomes "healthy" and becomes butthurt when he doesn't make the Olympic team due to the fact "he wouldn't be comfortable with coming off the bench.". Then he cries about our draft and that he doesn't feel wanted by the team and says "his heart is in PHX". Then he gets injured again and come with this crap!?!
I'm done. EG thinks he is this godly player who deserves everything but he doesnt deserve crap. He got paid because of his potential, not because of what he has done. What has he proven? That he can be a good player when on the court, BUT HE'S NEVER ON THE COURT! And once again he is sidelined by an "injury" that's not serious but serious enough to keep him off the court indefinitely. :/
I don't know about you guys but this doesn't smell right. I wouldn't trade this clown. I would let him sit and rot on the bench since he wants to claim he's injured. I know what it is. He didn't care that Rivers was drafted, he cared that DAVIS was drafted. He's scared Davis is gonna steal his shine just like Griffin did in LA. He wants to be a star, send him to some crappy team and let's get us a lottery pick and some young talent. I was on this guy but now I'm off. Good riddance.
This guy is the Bob Sanders of the NBA. And that's not even a fair comparison because Bob took a paycut and actually played close to a full season.
No structural damage but you're out indefinitely? Gimmie a break. NEXT! (Anthony Davis Avatar coming soon.)
The problem here compared to players like Grant Hill and even Baron Davis is it was clear that these guys were injured. You saw them either try to play through injuries on the floor, or you saw it happen on the floor. With this guy, nobody has seen anything. He plays an entire game full speed. No grimace, no limp, no nothing. Then all of a sudden out for LOOONG time.
Now, after an ENTIRE summer off after missing damn near all of last season, it's the same thing. Combined with what happened during free agency, then saying today he could miss the whole season (what competitive player would even fathom sitting out 82 games due to being sore??) just smells awful fishy. It just smells awful. It also sounds like a joke.
Whatever fans want to feel about it, you cant say they are wrong.
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky. When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
Charlotte Slobcats All-Time Records (11 Total Seasons)-- 50-win seasons:0, losing seasons:9, playoff series wins:0, division titles: 0, identity theft: 1.
#1 pick here we come!!!
On a serious note, I think it would be good if we were bad for one more year and get another star player in next years draft. We have alot of good role players and good depth but we need stars to win championships. This might be Dell's master plan to make this team a title contender.
I wish I could get a hold of his MRI to see the real condition of his knee.
7(g) of UPC: "Player agrees to supply...truthful info in connection w/any medical exam" MT @basketballtalk Eric Gordon dlvr.it/2QCsNw— Michael McCann (@McCannSportsLaw) November 1, 2012
@nola_dave It was a reference to a medical honesty clause in the Uniform Player Contract that Eric Gordon had to sign and must adhere to.— Michael McCann (@McCannSportsLaw) November 2, 2012
Does anyone think that Gordon may have re-injured his knee in a non-related basketball activity?
This is why maybe there is no clarity.
I guess what I am trying to say is if he has injured himself by being reckless during the off season this may be a breach of his $58M dollar contract.
I'm not sure about baskeball players but I know in other sports if they injure themselves in the off season they are covered
by insurance and therefore the employer doesn't have to fit the bill while there start asset isn't playing.
Dude probably injures himself putting on his pants.
The surgery was just a procedure with an arthroscope.
Andrews is there is reconstruct joints, reattach muscles, etc. He handles sports injuries, coarsely speaking. This injury is just an injury that any of us could get.
Such is my understanding of the most famous MD from LSU.

Janet L Brandsma PhD
Associate Professor (Adjunct) of Comparative Medicine and of Pathology
Research Interests
Molecular biology of papillomavirus pathogenesis; Development of protective and therapeutic vaccines for the treatment of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated disease; Vaccines; Virology
Research Summary
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are etiologically involved in inducing cervical and other anogenital cancers. Our goals are:
- to define the genetic determinants of papillomavirus-induced benign and malignant disease, and
- to develop a papillomavirus vaccine to prevent tumors from forming, and/or to induce, or accelerate, their regression.
For goal 1: we generate site specific mutations in a complete CRPV genome, test the ability of the mutant genomes to induce disease in rabbits, and characterize lesions that form histologically and biochemically.
For goal 2, we generate, and then bind to fine gold particles, eukaryotic expression vectors for individual CRPV genes. Rabbits are immunized with the DNA-coated particles (the candidate vaccine) using an Accell Gene Delivery System. The rabbit immune response is characterized, and its effectiveness is evaluated by challenge with CRPV.

About CHVRCHES
About CHVRCHES
Most solo artists or bands take their measure of success based on digital downloads, a climb up the charts or social media followers. For members of the band CHVRCHES, they knew they made it once they became the subject of a BuzzFeed photo gallery titled, "26 Things You Should Know About Chvrches, Your New Favorite Electro-Pop Band."
Yes, Chvrches is pronounced "churches" or stylized as CHVRCHΞS. Yes, their lead singer previously pursued a career in writing, has a master's degree in journalism and once won a prestigious award for an article she write about the hygiene of body piercing. And yes, their single "The Mother We Share" will get stuck in your head on an endless loop. As BuzzFeed says … just a warning.
In short, Chvrches came together after all three of its members – Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty – cut ties to other bands, groups or projects. Once they came together and debuted their first demo, "Lies," on the Neon Gold blog in the spring of 2012 there was no looking back. A few months later "The Mother We Share" was the official catalyst to the career of Chvrches exploding.
Chvrches came in fifth on the BBC's Sound of 2013 list of the most promising new talent in music. In March 2013 they released "Recover EP," and six months later rolled out their debut studio album "The Bones of What You Believe."
Get your Chvrches tickets now for upcoming dates in the UK, Croatia, and Spain before they kick off a U.S. tour on September 18th at Fox Theater in Oakland, California.

About Desert Noises
About Desert Noises
It came to him in a dream. That's Kyle Henderson's story on the naming of the band Desert Noises. He woke up and scribbled it down on a piece of paper. The rest, they say, is history.
Henderson, along with bassist Tyler Osmond, guitarist Patricky Boyer and drummer Brennan Allen, make up the foursome that began in the Provo/Orem, Utah area. That was three years ago, when the guys crammed themselves in a van and hit the road. Today, their hard work has resulted in the debut album "27 Ways" being released on the L.A.-based indie label SQE Music.
Desert Noises couldn't have picked a more enchanting place to record than the Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, Texas. The building sits directly on the banks of the Rio Grande, and set the scene for a rather cathartic experience for the band. Along with producer Nick Jodoin, Desert Noises turned out songs which they say detail 27 Ways of breaking away and becoming a touring rock 'n' roll band. The album is influenced by beat-oriented soul and R&B, as well as psychedelic rock.
Now touted as a 'must-see' live act, Desert Noises has toured relentlessly over the last few years. They've hit many major clubs and festivals across the United States, including stops at LouFest in St. Louis and the Austin City Limits Festival in Texas. Fans can now see them on tour through November 21, with stops in major markets including Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and New York City.

Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
Approximately 35-55 kg (80-120 lbs).
The Otterhound stands approximately 65-70 cm (or around 27 inches.)
Their coat is a combination of reddish-brown over the head, body and legs and black over the back.
Their outer coat is dense and rough with a broken appearance and they have softer hair over their head and legs.
The Otterhound is a large, friendly dog. They are usually fairly calm but tend to be quite independent. While they are affectionate they don't need too much attention and because they are independent might not be as loving as some other breeds. Be careful when introducing unfamiliar dogs or pets – Otterhounds tend to get along with other pets quite well but are somewhat tentative to start.
Country of Origin:
Despite references to Otterhound as far back as the 1100s, the current form of the breed doesn't seem to have appeared until the late 1700s. Originally they bred to hunt river otter in order to prevent the otters from spoiling food sources. Their ancestry can be traced back to Bloodhounds and several varieties of French hound breeds.
Otter hunting was especially popular just before World War I when otters were abundant. Since the late 1950s however, the otter hunt in England has been band and pure bred Otterhounds are very rare. Today's variety of otterhound is the result of significant cross-breeding in order to improve their hunting abilities.
Sadly, today there are only around 1000 Otterhounds in the world and as such are considered an endangered breed.
They were named Otterhound because of their involvement in otter hunts.
They are calm and sociable but tend to be independent.
As they are quite stubborn, training an Otterhound requires patience. They are also large and strong so training is especially important. Training when they are pups is easiest and highly recommended. With steady, consistent training they will learn to be obedient. As scent hounds, they are very curious and will follow their nose, sometimes getting into mischief.
Because they are independent, they will quite happily engage themselves so if you have a large yard, let them out regularly for exercise. Without proper training, they can be difficult to walk as they are very curious about smells. Still, once trained, they make excellent companions for a walk or run. Because of their large size, they don't need quite as much exercise as most dogs.
These dogs are not the most loving or affectionate so might not make an ideal pet if you're looking for a cuddly dog. They are loyal and friendly however and will get along with familiar pets. They are large and puppies might be a bit too rough for children.

Reviews for Apple Bread
Sort By :
"I had to add a cup of water...hope it works....am sure this was a misprint....the person who proofread this recipe before submitting, needs to find a new job!"
"The recipe overall is a good one. I did need to add 1/4 cup buttermilk to the batter since it was a little to dry and all the flour had not incorporated. I used buttermilk since it was what I use when making other similar types of bread. I added it 1 table spoon at a time just until the batter was moist. I also added 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and ground cloves to the dry mix."
"I added milk to the recipe and one more egg. I just added enough to give it a cake like batter consistency. I have it in the oven now. Just waiting to see how it turns out."
"Is this recipe correct? I mixed it up this morning and it was too dry to bake."

Wade doesn't look too bad, besides that thing on his sweater looks like a pen exploded. What the hell is it?!?
And I'm guessing the person who dressed LeBaby is the same one who told him "The Decision" was an awesome idea.

As the debate over health care reform continues, primary care medicine remains one of the key factors that would make health care more affordable. One solution, which could get funding in a federal reform bill, is the delivery model called Patient-Centered Medical Homes. PCMH connects patients with personalized healthcare teams in their communities, which in turn provide more focused, efficient and less costly medical services.
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Erie County Medical Society hosted three nationally recognized experts to speak with local physicians on Thursday, Sept. 3, at LECOM. Physicians and physician extenders attendeded the program.
Stanley Kozakowski, M.D., is the Director of the Hunterdon Family Practice Residency Program in Flemington, N.J., as well as the President of the Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors. He serves on a number of national committees that are investigating ways to implement the Patient-Centered Medical Home in practice and education.
Nancy Nielsen, M.D., Ph.D., is an internist from Buffalo, N.Y., and is the Immediate Past President of the American Medical Association. She has held and continues to hold numerous positions including the National Patient Safety Foundation Board of Directors and the Task Force on Quality and Patient Safety. She is a strong proponent of the need for affordable health insurance for all Americans. Dr. Nielsen will address healthcare reform and the AMA's approach to the PCMH.
Carlo DiMarco, D.O., Immediate Past President of the American Osteopathic Association led the discussion during this program.
These health care leaders conducted a conversation about the PCMH - what it is, why it is important, and how to move toward its implementation as well as address healthcare reform and the future of medicine. According to Dr. Kozakowski, PCMY is about building the patient and physician relationship and making it work within the health care system for better patient care outcomes.
"Health care must be patient-centered, physician directed," state Dr. Kozakowski. PCMH facilitates this relationship with better record keeping and coordination of patient care, expanded access, a team approach, along with qulaity and safety.
The PCMH concept has become a very popular on Capital Hill, in business board rooms, and in medical conferences around the country as the debate over health care reform continues.
Dr. Nielsen described the process now going on in Congress. She pointed out that the current administration is not the first to change the way we deliver medical care. Reform plans date back to Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. Presidents Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton all tried unsuccessfully to pass health care reform.
"This really the time to make this happen in a way that meets the needs of the patients," said Dr. Nielsen. "But, we need a way that allows physicians to deal with what the patient needs without bureaucrats and insurance managers."
Despite all of the discussion, there remains much confusion as to what this means and how does it differ from other health care reform models that have come and gone in the past.
The concept of the medical home has evolved from its first description in 1967 by the American Academy of Pediatrics as a place of usual care of children with complex chronic illness to most recently a joint statement of principles by the American Osteopathic Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The important difference between previous health reform movements and the PCMH is what appears to be a subtle but truly profound philosophical shift as well as definite changes in the delivery of care. It involves providing continuous care for the patient in front of the physician as well as care for the well-being of a population of people entrusted to the care of the healthcare team.
Paul Grundy, MD President of the Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative recently described the principles of the PCMH as follows:
Personal Relationship: Each patient has an ongoing relationship with a personal physician trained to provide first contact, continuous and comprehensive care.
Expanded Access: Enhanced access to care is available through systems such as open scheduling, expanded hours, and new options for communication between patients, physicians, and practice staff.
Team Approach: The personal physician leads a team of individuals at the practice level who collectively take responsibility for the ongoing patient care.
Comprehensive: The personal physician is responsible for providing for all the patient's health care needs at all stages of life or taking responsibility for appropriately arranging care with other qualified professionals
Coordination: Care is coordinated and integrated across all domains of the health care system, facilitated by registries, information technology, health information exchange and other means to assure that patient get the indicated care when and where they want it.
Quality and Safety: Quality and Safety are hallmarks of the medical home. This includes using electronic medical records and technology to provide decision-support for evidence-based treatments and patient and physician involvement in continuous quality improvement.
Added Value: Payment that appropriately recognizes the added value provided to patients who have a Patient-Centered Medical Home.

Thief of Time
Thief of Time (Mass Market Paperback)
Everybody wants more time, which is why on Discworld only the experts can manage it -- the venerable Monks of History who store it and pump it from where it's wasted, like underwater (how much time does a codfish really need?), to places like cities, where busy denizens lament, "Oh where does the time go?"
While everyone always talks about slowing down, one young horologist is about to do the unthinkable. He's going to stop. Well, stop time that is, by building the world's first truly accurate clock. Which means esteemed History Monk Lu-Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd have to put on some speed to stop the timepiece before it starts. For if the Perfect Clock starts ticking, Time -- as we know it -- will end. And then the trouble will really begin...

Alleged thief sparks explosion at Everett house
Dan Bates / The Herald
Bill Fouts of Puget Sound Energy removes the gas meter from a house at 1211 41st Street in Everett on Wednesday, following an explosion.

Bill Fouts of Puget Sound Energy removes a gas meter from the house that suffered an explosion on 41st Street near Rucker in Everett on Wednesday.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Fire and police authorities check out the blown-out front door and windows following an explosion, Wednesday, in a house at 1211 41st Street in Everett on Wednesday.
Just before 10:13 a.m., an explosion rocked an abandoned house in the 1200 block of 41st Street, a block west of Rucker Avenue. The house's front door flew off. It was knocked off its foundation. Glass from shattered windows landed on sidewalks 25 feet away.
Neighbors saw a man, 35, running from the home.
He's likely lucky to be alive.
Investigators believe the man was in the house's basement cutting into steel pipes for scrap metal. He cut into pipes carrying natural gas. He heard a hissing sound as the gas escaped.
Soon afterward, he lit a cigarette.
The house exploded.
No serious injuries were reported, Everett Fire Marshal Rick Robinson said. The man somehow was spared from the main shock wave of the explosion.
"He had singed his eyelashes and that was it," Robinson said.
Everett police detained the man for questioning.
He initially was interviewed and released with orders not to return to the house, Robinson said. However, the man came back later and went back inside the house.
He was arrested and was expected to be booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of trespassing.
At the time of the explosion, the gas was contained to the basement, Robinson said. That indicates the gas hadn't been leaking for long, he said.
Police and fire rigs surrounded the house for hours. People also rushed to social media to speculate about whether the blast was caused by a methamphetamine operation.
It wasn't.
The house already had been condemned, Robinson said. City officials are working with the owner on demolition plans "in the very near term."
The fire from the blast was small, with minimal smoke and flames.

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
thank you all for helping that poor baby, and i really hope they get that piece of shit.Bless you all.
It's just so sad knowing that there is people out there cold hearted. How can they do such horrible thing to an innocent creature?!? I will be happy if the found the person who did it and put them on jail!!
Anyone that would do that is not worthy of breath. Find those jerks and punish them please. Not a slap on the wrist and a little fine. Make an example of these lowlives.
My prayers to Joey...hope this creep gets caught soon n pay for the cruelty hi has done to poor Joey!!! I hope joey gets better really soon!
I think this is disgusting and mean. All animals want is someone to take care of them. What did this little guy to deserve this kind od treatment. Spay and neuter your animals people!! There are way to many unwanted animals out there as it is. Hang in there Joey. There is justice for you out there!
please give joey lots of kisses from me and I will pray for him...he is worthy of love and kindness
I adopted a dog - pit bull - who was also thrown from a car. He suffered severe emotional and physical trauma both before and during this event, including broken legs. I love him so much and hope that little Joey finds a home where he will be loved like my Walter is. I will never understand people who do these things to animals. I look at Walter's face and sometimes I still get teary thinking about what he went through. Thank you to those who are helping Joey!!
I Pray that the sorry excuse of a human be found and brought to justice! Baby boy, not all humans are evil, we pray for a full recovery, and that this ANIMAL who did this to you be FOUND and brought to the Strictest of punishment, no mercy! EVIL!
WOW just wow!! cant believe someone would do this. i hope they catch the person who did this. Joey will be in prayers, hope he makes a full recovery!

Seen through an observation window at one side, a scene from "The Hobbit" appears on one of the wide screens, as projected through one of five new NEC digital projectors at the Stanwood Cinemas.

Stanwood Cinemas' old film projectors sit idle near stored Christmas decorations and a poster featuring Jodie Foster in the projection room, just a few feet from the projectors' digital replacements. The theater's owner was able to shoulder the cost of switching to digital.

For most movie theater owners, the change hasn't posed a problem. However, in Arlington, the 74-year-old single-screen Olympic Theatre doesn't yet have the resources to make it into the 21st century.
William Frankhouser, who heads up an organization called Save the Olympic Theatre, has helped theater owner Norma Pappas set up an online fundraiser. The goal is $30,000 by the end of February.
"We got $1,700 in the first 24 hours of the fundraiser, so we have hope," Frankhouser said. "It's an ambitious goal, but we have good community backing and interest. We are looking for people to run fundraisers, too."
The Save the Olympic Theatre group also has applied for help from Save America's Cinemas, a nonprofit fundraising group dedicated to providing the financial assistance required to acquire the necessary digital equipment needed for about 3,000 small-town cinemas and theaters in country.
Meanwhile, in Stanwood, the company Far Away Entertainment has installed five new digital systems in the Stanwood Cinemas.
Far Away owns eight multi-screen theaters, including those in Oak Harbor, Anacortes, Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Ocean Shores and West Seattle. It was easy for the independent movie theater chain to make the switch, said Jeff Brein, managing partner of Far Away Entertainment.
Because digital systems save film studios a lot of money, movie exhibitors can get a stipend from the studios for each movie shown. The money goes to help pay for the digital projectors. The stipend pays enough for multi-screen theaters to make payments on new digital systems, but it's not enough money for single-screen exhibitors, Brein said.
"If you show 100 movies a year, it pays off. But if you only show a dozen first-run movies a year, the math doesn't make sense," Brein said. "So the options for theaters such as the Olympic are to get traditional financing for the new digital equipment, continue to show 35 mm film as long as it is available, go to the community to ask for help or go out of business."
People in Arlington don't want that to happen, Frankhouser said. The Olympic is an important draw to downtown. Pappas has said she is grateful for the concern and the help from Save the Olympic Theatre.
Pappas isn't interested in turning the Olympic over to a nonprofit, because she hopes someday to sell the theater business and retire. In Concrete and Port Townsend, movie-goers successfully donated money to the owners of private theaters to help them get the digital equipment. The owners of the Blue Fox Drive-In Theater near Oak Harbor have made the switch to digital, but they are still fundraising to pay for it.
That's the goal in Arlington, Frankhouser said.
"Even if we only raise $10,000, then Norma has some capital to work with," he said. "And it's possible that the cost of the digital projectors will come down and she can continue to show movies."
Pappas already is getting notices that many new movies won't be available on film this year and that the studios won't ship film to her, Frankhouser said.
"Norma's situation is a real tragedy. If she is able to convert, life will be easier for her. No more slicing film and other messy tasks," Brein said. "There is a plethora of new opportunities out there, too, including being able to show live concerts and sporting events. People who see movies in Stanwood are sure to notice the difference in quality, presentation and sound because of our new digital systems."
Along with the Olympic Theatre, Brein wonders about small moviehouses in rural areas of many western states, where multi-plexes don't exist.
"I would hope that the studios and theater owner associations can find solutions for the independent theaters and drive-ins," Brein said. "If we start losing all those little theaters, it will be a piece of American culture that you will never recover."

Exceptions and Errors are together known as Throwables. The Throwables are positioned like so in the Object hierarchy:
Errors are fatalities that we would normally want to cause a program failure, while Exceptions are events that we would normally want to handle in our program. An example of using them with a try-catch statement, a 'try' clause followed by a 'catch' clause:
A common idiom for asserting for exceptions is:
Some common exceptions associated with Groovy:
We can put code within a 'finally' clause following a matching 'try' clause, so that if the code in the 'try' clause throws an exception, the code in the finally clause will always execute:
We can attach more than one 'catch' clause to a 'try' clause, and attach a 'finally' clause also:
An exception will ripple up through the nested blocks, executing only code in 'finally' clauses, until caught, or the thread terminates.
Exceptions will also ripple through function and method invocations
We can mark a function or method indicating what type of Exception it might throw. This is a useful documentation feature:
