POTENTIALLY deadly blue-green algae has been found on Windermere.
The Environment Agency says it has found evidence of an algal bloom at Low Wray Bay, prompting South Lakeland District Council to issue a warning.
The authority said anyone using lakes, rivers and reservoirs should treat all blue-green algae blooms with caution and contact should be avoided as skin rashes and illness may occur if the water is swallowed.
Farmers and pet owners should also prevent livestock and animals coming into contact or drinking the affected water, as it can sometimes prove fatal for animals.
SLDC's environmental health team leader, Tracy Howard, said: "Blue-green algae can potentially make people feel quite ill if swallowed or even by just swimming in it.
"We just want people to be aware of the affects and are asking people to be extra careful and vigilant when using the lakes and rivers for recreational purposes during the summer months.
"The public should observe any notices near affected areas and avoid contact or drinking the water."
Many waters are vulnerable to problems with the algae, typically between June and November.
Experts say all blue-green algal blooms should be assumed to be toxic.
The blooms vary in colour from discoloured green, blue-green, greenish brown, or reddish brown.
Further information about blue-green algae can be found on the Environment Agency's website at www.environment-agency.gov.uk
The eight short-listed design teams have been announced for a competition to redevelop the Windermere Steamboat Museum on the shores of Windermere.
The Lakeland Arts Trust recently secured initial support for a £7.4m Heritage Lottery Fund bid, including £494,000 development funding, to take the project forward. The project aims to create an exciting and active museum which will use the lake and the lakeside setting to display the nationally significant collection of steam launches, motor boats, yachts and other vessels which are all associated with Windermere.
The first stage of the competition attracted 114 expressions of interest. The short-list (in order of the architect leading the multi-disciplinary design team) is as follows: Carmody Groarke; Adam Khan Architects; Niall McLaughlin Architects; Terry Pawson Architects; Reiach and Hall Architects; 6a Architects; Sutherland Hussey Architects; Witherford Watson Mann Architects.
Martin Ainscough, Chairman of the Lakeland Arts Trust, commented: "We are very encouraged by the quality of entries in the architectural competition and the judging panel had a difficult decision to select the final eight for the shortlist. We are looking forward to working with the successful practice to create a world class facility in the heart of the Lake District.."
Gordon Watson, the trust's chief executive, added: "We are looking for a fresh, well-detailed and sensitive response for the stimulating and highly significant site on Windermere and to display the museum's wonderful collection of boats."
The second stage of the competition will seek design concepts for the project. Architects will need to take into account the requirement of displaying the boats and other items in the collection in the exhibition space and wet dock, and enabling visitors to see the boats being restored in the conservation workshop, as well as designing an appropriate facility for the location to provide a world-class visitor experience.
The design proposals will be subject to public display and comment in late October 2011 and the design teams will be invited to present their schemes to the jury panel at final interviews in late November 2011.

Information friction and investor home bias: A perspective on the effect of global IFRS adoption on the extent of equity home bias
2008, Journal of Accounting and Public Policy
Messod Daniel Beneish, Teri Yohn
This paper provides a perspective on the effect of IFRS adoption on the tendency of investors to under-invest in foreign equities. We consider explanations for the equity home bias described in prior research and discuss research relevant to the informational consequences of global adoption of IFRS. Specifically, we evaluate whether IFRS adoption reduces information processing costs or decreases investor uncertainty about either the quality of financial reporting or the distribution of future cash flows. We predict that the effect of any reduction in information processing costs from the adoption of IFRS is likely to be small relative to the effects of other determinants of home bias such as the strength of investor protection mechanisms in foreign countries, behavioral biases toward familiar equities, and informational advantages related to geographical proximity. We argue that the quality of the information that investors have (or perceive they have) decreases with distance, conclude that global IFRS adoption is unlikely to affect home bias, and propose avenues for future research.

Longines Kentucky Oaks 141
The first running of the Kentucky Oaks was on May 19, 1875 when Churchill Downs was known as the Louisville Jockey Club. The race was founded by Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr. along with the Kentucky Derby. The Oaks and the Derby are the oldest continuously contested sporting events in history, and the only horse races to be held at their original site since its conception. The Longines Kentucky Oaks was modeled after the British Epsom Oaks.
The Longines Kentucky Oaks is considered by some to be among the most popular horse races in American horse-racing society due to its high attendance. It attracts about 100,000 people in attendance a year.

It gives me a little frowny face when people tell me that they can't find good bread in America. But I'm turnin' that frown upside down because the more I travel, the more good bread I see. And I love passing on the word because, really, everyone should have access to good bread – no matter where they are.
The San Francisco Bay Area has had a tradition of good bread for a while, from the golden loaves of airy Boudin San Francisco sourdough, to the earthy levain breads from Acme, Tartine, b. pâtisserie, Della Fattoria, and all the other bakeries that are pulling terrific loaves out of the oven daily, in the area.
People in San Francisco are obsessed with good bread, and good food – a tradition which I am happy to report is still in evidence from all the great meals I've been having on this trip. And like France, and many other countries, bakeries are important to the community. One bakery that is extra-special to me is The Mill, which I discovered on my last trip. And one that I was anxious to revisit on this one.

SWANSBORO – Swansboro didn't get the rematch with Jacksonville it wanted – West Craven made sure of that by upsetting the top-seeded Cardinals.
But the Pirates were more than willing to settle for a bigger prize than a shot at revenge: The Coastal 3-A Conference volleyball tournament title in their first year in the league – and the league's No. 1 playoff seed.
All of which Swansboro earned Tuesday by sweeping West Carteret in the semifinals 25-14, 25-22 and West Craven in the championship match 25-23, 25-15, 25-16.
All four teams will make the NCHSAA 3-A playoffs. The pairings will be announced Thursday.
"Obviously after losing to Jacksonville (last week) we were all really, really bummed about that," senior setter Bailey Rabidou said. "So we really wanted to play Jacksonville. We had a little pep in our step so we could be first seed and play at home for most of the playoffs."
Rabidou, who had 23 assists, nine digs and 3 kills in the title match, said the key for the Pirates not letting down when they found out they would not be squaring off against JHS was "staying focused and talking."
"Sometimes we lack on our communication and talking," she said. "But I think today we kept our communication up."
While the Pirates had little problems dispatching fourth-seeded West Carteret (10-7), which was without one of its top players who was playing soccer, Swansboro found itself down early against the third-seeded Eagles (11-9), which stunned JHS 25-12,, 23-25, 25-22 to advance to the finals.
In the first set, West Craven led 11-5 early and Swansboro didn't take its first lead until 17-16 on a net violation. But the scrappy Eagles refused to wilt, and actually led 19-18 and were tied at 21 before the Pirates finally took the lead for good on a kill by Ashley Oriol.
Swansboro was clinging to a 24-23 lead after a block by the Eagles before clinching the set when West Craven couldn't return the ball.
After that, Swansboro trailed only once – at 1-0 in the third set. The Pirates led by as many as 10 in the second set at 15-5 on a kill by Kasey Sines and again at 22-12 on an ace by Kylie Cleve before a clinching kill by Megan Malone.
Swansboro's biggest lead in the third set was nine, coming at 21-12 on an ace by Emma Kitzmiller and again on the final point after a net ball by the Eagles.
"We came out here and hustled and we busted our butts," coach Kim Miller said. "And I thought we played a little bit smarter than what we have been playing. We played within ourselves. They're a scrappy team. So that took away from us constantly trying to go up and slam the ball. And we had to start thinking, and we were able to find some holes in their defense to attack."
And Miller was more than satisfied with her team's performance – and thrilled at winning the tournament title.
"All the conferences in which we played throughout all the years they've never had a conference tournament," she said. "So it was a neat little prize for us. And we wanted to be on a roll going into the state playoffs."
And the Pirates are, said Miller, who liked that the Pirates didn't have a letdown but continued to fight when West Carteret or West Craven went on a run.
"That's the key right now," she said. "We're aggressive and we're hard-charging forward instead of waiting for the other team to not hit so hard or to not be so aggressive."
West Craven 2, Jacksonville 1
The Cardinals had had their problems with West Craven in two regular-season matches, but each time managed to beat the Eagles. But round three went to West Craven.
"You can only play so many close games before it doesn't go your way," JHS coach Melinda Rakes said. "Unfortunately the two-out-of-three (format) does not favor us. We tend to get going late in the match. I kind of thought when we won the second set we kind of shifted some momentum.
"But all I can say, and what I told the girls, is now's the time to lose. This doesn't knock us out of the playoffs. If this was a playoff match, we'd be done."
The loss – and West Craven's loss in the finals – means the Cardinals (16-5) will be the league's No. 2 playoff seed. JHS and Swansboro tied for the regular-season title at 11-1, but the Cardinals won a coin flip for the tournament's top seed.
"Losing tends to humble a team," Rakes said. "We kind of rode on this high over beating Swansboro last week and then pulling it out against White Oak. Maybe we humbled ourselves a little and understand that it's not handed to us, we have to work for it."

Protection of confidential inventory information
At COP 9 by decision 12/CP.9 Parties adopted a code of practice for the treatment of confidential
information in the technical review of greenhouse gas inventories from Parties included in Annex I to
the Convention. In accordance with this decision, the secretariat has developed procedures to
implement the code of practice during the inventory review in 2004 and beyond. These procedures cover
submission, processing and handling by the secretariat of any information designated as confidential
by an Annex I Party, and the granting of access by expert reviewers to this information.
Expert review teams
The annual inventory review process requires the participation of over 120 skilled experts per year.
Members of expert review teams are selected by the secretariat from experts nominated by Parties. The
secretariat selects experts to ensure coverage of all inventory sectors, and to achieve an overall
balance in the participation of experts from Annex and non-Annex I Parties, as well as geographical
balance among them. Two lead reviewers, one each from an Annex I and a non-Annex I Party, guide the
work of the teams.
Participation of experts nominated by Parties helps to ensure that the review results are objective,
credible and recognized by Parties. In addition, it helps build inventory capacity across all
Parties. Reviewed Parties receive technical feedback from other experts that enables them to further
improve their inventories. Likewise, experts who participate in reviews gain knowledge of inventory
practices of other countries, which they can take home and apply to their own inventories.
As of 2004, all members of expert review teams participating in the technical review of greenhouse
gas inventories must sign an agreement for expert review services. The agreement specifies the
responsibilities, expected time commitment, and appropriate conduct for expert review team members,
in particular with respect to the protection of confidential inventory information, as determined by
the COP. Any new review team members must also successfully complete training on how to perform a
Lead reviewers
Under the UNFCCC review guidelines (decision 13/CP.20), expert review teams (ERTs) for review of GHG
inventories shall include two lead reviewers, one from a non-Annex I Party and one from an Annex I
Party. These lead reviewers have a special role, ensuring that the reviews are performed by each ERT
according to the relevant review guidelines and consistently across Parties. Lead reviewers should
also ensure the quality, objectivity, continuity, comparability and timeliness of reviews.
The COP requested the secretariat to facilitate meetings of lead reviewers for GHG inventories to
facilitate the work of lead reviewers in fulfilling their task to ensure consistency in the reviews
across Parties. Lead reviewers shall also collectively prepare an annual report to the SBSTA,
containing suggestions on how to improve the quality, efficiency and consistency of the reviews. The
secretariat has conducted eleven meetings of inventory lead reviewers. The conclusions of these
meetings are presented through the following links:

awesome awning
Reviewed By Sean M (ABSECON, NJ) —4/23/2015 5:23 AM
I installed this ARB awning on my 1984 VW Westfalia Campmobile and it looks great. The awning appears to be of top quality construction and I hope to get many years of camping use out of it. The only thing is I had to purchase the rain gutter clamps separately for an additional 69.95. All in all I am very pleased with the product.

Brendan Venter's appointment as Sharks Director of Rugby is a good one. But the decision to end John Plumtree's Sharks coaching tenure is not.
Former Springbok and Italy coach Nick Mallett turned down an invitation for the role of Sharks Director of Rugby and Venter, formerly the head coach and Director of Rugby at Saracens, will start his job at the outset of the Currie Cup season.
Plumtree remains the Super Rugby head coach until the end of this season's tournament but his contract has not been renewed.
Plumtree is highly rated in Europe and will in all likelihood link up with a European club or as part of a Six Nations coaching team.
Venter was at the heart of Saracens's revival and he will definitely bring a harder edge to the Sharks rugby at all levels.
I think Venter will add value as the Director of Rugby but Plumtree still had a role to play, unless of course it was decided behind closed doors that neither of Venter, nor Plumtree felt they could work with each other.
What do you think of Venter's appointment and Plumtree's departure?

TomTom Issues Annual Traffic Index Highlighting Current Challenges Facing U.S. Drivers and Cities

TomTom Issues Annual Traffic Index Highlighting
Current Challenges Facing U.S. Drivers and Cities
-- New research reveals common commuter shortcuts are adding
up to 50% more travel time to trips --
-- West Coast U.S. cities remain most traffic congested --
Burlington, MA (June 4, 2014) – TomTom today released its 4th annual TomTom Traffic Index, recognized as the world's most accurate barometer of traffic congestion in 186 cities across 6 continents. The 2014 study specifically analyzed the increased traffic patterns on non-highway secondary roads in the United States, with new results revealing that the common traffic shortcuts drivers take to avoid congestion are actually adding 50% more travel time to trips. The complete report including U.S. city specific data can be viewed at www.tomtom.com/TrafficIndex.
TomTom's Traffic Index compares travel times during non-congested hours (free flow) with travel times in peak hours, and finds that commuters around the world are spending an average of 8 working days per year stuck in traffic. In the U.S., the study examines 53 metropolitan areas with a population of more than 800,000 and shows that Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu remain the most congested U.S. cities.
Ranked by overall traffic levels, the TomTom Traffic Index reports that the top ten most congested U.S. cities in 2013 were:
1. Los Angeles (36%): Congestion increased two percent to highest levels seen in last five years
2. San Francisco (32%): Congestion increased from 2012
3. Honolulu (29%): Congestion decreased from 2012
4. Seattle (27%): Slight increase in congestion level
5. San Jose (26%): Slight increase in congestion level
6. New York (26%): New to top 10, increase in congestion
7. Miami (24%)
8. Washington, DC (24%)
9. Portland (22%)
10. New Orleans (22%)
Note: changes noted in 2013 rankings as compared to 2012 results
Additional highlights of the 2014 study include:
· Thursday evening commute is the worst peak congestion in most U.S. cities
· Kansas City and Indianapolis are the least congested cities featured in the study
· Severe weather was a significant cause behind some of 2013's busiest traffic days across the U.S.
"Traffic congestion is nothing new and the traditional responses are no longer proving to be effective. Real time traffic information can help drivers find the quickest shortcut on their journey, and assist governments to make smarter decisions to improve traffic flow for their cities," said Jocelyn Vigreux, President of TomTom, Inc.
The TomTom Traffic Index takes into account local roads and highways, going well beyond research and other studies that only evaluate traffic on main highways, or are subjective surveys of people's perception of traffic congestion. The Traffic Index is based on detailed knowledge of the global road network and aims to help drivers, businesses and governments manage traffic congestion effectively. TomTom is the only company able to provide the depth of data based on the number of sensors supplying accurate information from around the world.
"TomTom's global leadership in traffic insights helps us deliver products that directly impact commuters' daily journeys," said TomTom's Head of Global Traffic Research, Nick Cohn. "Once drivers experience how TomTom can help them avoid traffic and get to their destination faster, we are confident they won't want to drive without TomTom ever again."

Remember those essays you had to write on the first day back at school every fall?
Well, if they still did it in college, P.J. Hairston would probably be able to fill up an entire notebook on the subject of what he did over his summer vacation.
Since the end of last season, the troubled North Carolina basketball star has:
nDecided to return to school instead of entering the NBA draft with his former teammate Reggie Bullock;
nGotten a speeding ticket in a car rented by someone other than himself or a family member;
nBeen arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and driving without a license after being stopped at a routine checkpoint in Durham in yet another car rented by someone else, this one with a shady background. And oh, yes, a gun was found on the ground outside the GMC Yukon at the time of the arrest;
nFlown to Colorado Springs to try out for the USA Basketball U19 national team;
nReturned home three days later after injuring his back;
nFinally, was photographed shotgunning a beer at a Fourth of July party on Masonboro Island, pictures of which were posted on several social media sites. This is particularly troubling, since the 20-year-old Tar Heel doesn't reach legal drinking age until December.
You'd think at some point Hairston would decide to lay low and stay out of the public spotlight for awhile until those in positions of authority figure out what to do with him for his transgressions.
But it's clear the junior swingman hasn't bothered to do much thinking about any of his actions this summer, especially the consequences they might have both on himself and UNC's already disgraced athletic program.
It's said that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. That's apparently a lesson not taught in those bogus courses offered by UNC's Department of African and Afro-American Studies, because Hairston is in the process of proving it.
Perhaps he — along with, possibly, teammate Leslie McDonald — should have consulted with former UNC football players Marvin Austin, Robert Quinn, Greg Little and about a dozen others before accepting what will almost certainly be deemed an "extra benefit" when or if his coach or the NCAA get around to looking into the situation.
As was the case with those aforementioned football players, Hairston will almost certainly be suspended for his actions. How long he'll be out of action depends on the depth of his involvement with convicted felon Haydn "Fats" Thomas goes.
It's also unclear as to how Hairston's conduct will impact the program he represents.
At this moment, at least, the hot water appears limited to the player. Whether it stays that way will depend largely on how many more pages get added to Hairston's summer vacation essay and whether coach Roy Williams, who has gone out of his way to avoid commenting publicly on the situation, knew what was going on and looked the other way.
Given recent history and the black eye from which those in Carolina blue are still recovering, Williams, athletic director Bubba Cunningham and new chancellor Carol Folt should seriously consider a preemptive strike that sends Hairston packing permanently.
Such a move would severely damage the Tar Heels' chances for success in 2013-14, since Hairston is the team's top returning scorer.
But the consequences have the potential to be much greater if Cunningham and Folt — both of whom were hired in the aftermath of the football scandal — fail to act more decisively than their predecessors Dick Baddour and Holden Thorp.
By stepping in, facing the problem head-on and taking action to correct it, UNC's new administration has an opportunity to show that things really are different and that the school has learned from its embarrassing history.
Instead of being doomed to repeat it.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I was diagnosed with CIN-3 after a cold cone knife biopsy for an abnormal Pap smear. I have heard that Pap smears after cone biopsy can be inaccurate and asked my physician to also test for HPV. Does this sound like a good idea?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
I usually recommend having a Pap 6 months after the cone biopsy. As long as the Pap is "adequate", meaning it captured both squamous and glandular cells on the specimen, then it is as accurate as any Pap.
As for HPV testing, anyone who has cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1 or higher) already has a 95% or more chance of having a positive test for high-risk strains of HPV, so I don't find it useful in this situation. I usually only check HPV in patients with ASCUS (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) on Pap.
May 30, 2015 - In women with an abnormal Pap smear, histological assessment of low-grade abnormalities reduces the risk of developing invasive cervical cancer, according to a study in the August issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

|Getting Ready for the NEW All Children's Hospital
When is the last time you saw a ten-foot tall child flying ten stories above ground?
No, it's not the latest science-fiction summer movie. A construction crane placed a giant-sized All Children's Hospital sign atop the west side of the new hospital on Wednesday, July 29. The sign is a 22' x 64' full-color version of the hospital's logo, complete with the stylized silhouettes of three children that symbolize the hospital's singular focus on kids.
The sign was constructed and secured to the building by Riggins Associates, a Bradenton based company. Jeff Riggins, president of the company, watched the installation with a big smile. He said it took approximately 12 people to hoist the 4,500 pound sign and put it in place.
A similar sign will soon be placed on the east side of the building. See more pictures of the sign being added to the new hospital.

|Introduction | Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM lens performance | Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM versus competition | Conclusion
Refreshed to include Canon's latest evolution in autofocus technology, the Stepper Motor, the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM offers ultra quiet continuous autofocus during video capture. With its predecessor the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS still available and for less money however, if you're not interested in video capture, which version of this lens should you go for and how does this latest model compare to the competition? Our Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM review has the answers for you.
Launched in June 2012 the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM is an updated version of Canon's Super Zoom 'kit' lens originally announced in 2009 alongside the Canon EOS 7D DSLR. Designed for the Canon EF-S lens mount on Canon DSLRs using an APS-C sensor EF-S lenses aren't compatible with Canon full-frame cameras like the EOS 1Dx. On APS-C cameras however taking account of the 1.6x Canon 'crop factor' the 18–135mm focal length offers an equivalent range of 29 – 216mm in 35mm terms, which makes it a versatile all-in-one lens for travel and general use photography.
Aimed at the enthusiast market the 18-135mm f/3.5 - f/5.6 IS STM features a variable maximum aperture, which lets less light through the aperture as the lens is zoomed in. This keeps the cost down but at the longest focal length of 135mm the f/5.6 aperture lets in 4-times less light than f/2.8 on a pro lens. The new lens does however feature Canon's lens-based Image Stabilisation system, known as IS, which the manufacturer states offers 4-stops of anti-shake performance and to some degree this makes up for the variable maximum aperture.
The main development however is the inclusion of Canon's latest evolution in autofocus technology, known as the Stepper Motor or STM Technology. Until now only available on the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens, STM technology brings ultra quiet operation for continuous autofocus during video capture. With both lenses currently available however if you're not interested in the Stepper Motor, which lens should you go for? We delve under the hood of the DxOMark Lens Metric Scores for the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM to answer those questions for you.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse. ... pl&indiv=1
So I think I need to write to the Cerisano town to get info for Vincenzo? Does this sound right?
NEVERMIND!! This is where Santelli is from and that is why she said she was from there. It is just a hop, skip and a jump from Mendicino which is where I (we, you all) said he could be from. According to his WWI Registration it looked like Ma(e)n(r)ticino (the letters in () are possibly what else it could be).
Anyways thank you!!
Mendicino? In Cosenza Province? I think some of my microfilms from Montalto Uffugo have Mendicino on them. My FHC is closed for vacation right now but if you tell me what years you are looking for I can have a peek at your surnames if I have the correct time frame and the microfilms I have on loan have those years. If all you want is Vincenzo's birth act it would be easier to write the comune. If you want more - Vincenzo's brothers and sisters, aunt and uncles, etc. try to get the microfilm. But if he was born in Mendicino and I have the correct year for Mendicino on my microfilm I can look for him for you when they reopen if you would like that. Post his birth year here and I'll look it up on the LDS site to see if I have the microfilm.
The address Riccardo gave you for your grandmother's comune will get you her birth act. If you write them as he suggests they will send you her birth act. If you need the address to request Vincenzo's birth act post it here and Riccardo can post Mendicino's address too.

Whether it's helping us make the perfect pasta or keeping our favorite dishes clean and sparkly, for many of us the kitchen isn't complete without the modern convenience of appliances we've come to know and love. And you can't mention "kitchen appliances" without mentioning KitchenAid. Originally known for its dishwashers -- it introduced the first home-use model in 1946 -- KitchenAid now makes a full line of high end products as part of the Whirlpool family. We provide genuine quality KitchenAid parts for many refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, blenders, and, of course, dishwashers, but if you have one of the company's washers, dryers, or other non-kitchen appliance models, we've also got you covered.

On October 5, The New York Times published an opinion piece by Gregory Berns, a professor of neuroeconomics at Emory University, about his two-year study of brain activity in conscious pet canines. (Rest assured, no dogs were harmed: "We used only positive training methods. No sedation. No restraints. If the dogs didn't want to be in the M.R.I. scanner, they could leave.")
For Berns, who found that positive anticipation (of food or familiar people, etc.) stems from the same part of the brain in both humans and dogs, the study's takeaway is "Dogs are people, too." This leads him to question the righteousness of dogs' current legal status: "[We] can no longer hide from the evidence. Dogs, and probably many other animals (especially our closest primate relatives), seem to have emotions just like us. And this means we must reconsider their treatment as property."
This week the website huffingtonpost.com posted a great follow-up article that expands on the concept of "personhood" for animals and quotes the ASPCA's own Stacy Wolf, Senior Vice President, Anti-Cruelty Group—read it here.
What Do You Think?
We want to hear your take on this debate. Should dogs be given the same legal protections as people, or is it right to continue to categorize them as "property"? In what ways have your own dogs shown you that they have emotions? Have your say in our comments section, below.

Of course dogs and other animals have feelings and emotions. They are a lot smarter than most people give them credit for. The people who feel they must consider then as "lower life forms" are people who have very low self esteem and need to "be in control" of someone or something else. It is our responsibility as "civilized" human beings to care for our loving canine family members, because they cannot take care of themselves; After all, you don't see any dogs flying planes into buildings killing thousands of innocent people. Before you respond to that phrase I will state this: Anyone who has owned a dog knows that even if they could fly a plane - they wouldn't - they are too loving and compassionate!
I am bothered by the comment "Dogs are people too." What makes dogs so absolutely perfect is that they are NOT people... And I hope we have moved ahead in this society from the point of women, children, and animals being property.
Animals are not property. Period. No more discussion necessary. I was a zoo docent and have taken upper zoology courses. Amazing the "human" characteristics, though processes and emotions that animals exhibit. I further and deeply believe that God created dogs specifically to help us understand what being "human" means. When little Colton died and went to heaven, and returned to earth (as told in the book "Heaven Is For Real"), he told his father and mother than up in heaven, not only did he see other children, his grandfather and Jesus, but he saw animals, lots of animals. When his parents asked him what kind, he specifically mentioned dogs. Call me bias, but I'll take the words of a 4-year old, after the miracles he saw as accounted for in the book, and look at my 3 Boston Terriers, hug them close, and know I'll see them when they/I get to heaven. Dog ... God spelled backwards.
We loved our dog and cats as family and I don't like the law considering them property. I know my animals have emotions. My golden retriever once got hold of a blueberry pie I had baked and pushed back pretty far from the counter. 2 hours go by and he comes into the bedroom with an unbelievable look of guilt. After a few secobds I figured it out. I saw in the kitchen he had eaten a portion and I believe felt guilty and came in to "show" me. It was a look I had never seen on his face before or after. He also had what we called a "happy bark" when he was excited. I know he's not a person but I know he is not property but family
Dogs are feeling beings. So are elephants, pigs, cats, whales, horses, and other mammals. In fact, all life "feels" and is alive. We need to treat all living creatures as such.
Dogs and all living creatures are feeling belngs. Treat them with respect!
Here is my experiment...........ouch. See, I gave my dog's tail a little pull and got bit. Of course she has emotions. EVERYONE that can feel pain has emotions. And, just so you all know, my dog was not harmed in this experiment, I was, which just leads me to say never pull a dog's tail. If you do and get bit, it is not the dog's fault.
All animals have emotions just like people. Many good but some bad depending on the dogs or persons environment and predisposition. That is why some dogs listen (cooperative) and some don't (independent). Yes, they are entitled to nothing but the best treatment and love and when not listening, patient training just like your young children. It is also important to always report abusive treatment since the recipient pet can't do it themselves and you really need to step forward and save that pet from the abuser. Does Michael Vick come to mind? What a piece of trash and there are many just like him so when you see abuse, report it right then. Thanks.
It would seem to me that if they gain "personhood" (and I happen to believe that dogs and cats do have emotions) then the punishments given to people who hurt, abuse or kill them, should have the same penalties as if they were human. Maybe even worse since they cannot take care of themselves or fight back. I once recall hearing or reading that "a country's integrity can be determined by how it treats it's animals"......but then that is another road to travel......The laws are very conflicting...if they are property then that makes them no better than my tv....and no one goes to jail for kicking or hitting their own tv. However, someone who steals it can go to jail.....see the conflict. When the word property came into play it was considered chattel like cows and chicken etc. It has long been believed that no animal has feelings or emotions...but we all know that is not true. We must change "man's" idea of the whole thing. Just look into the big brown eyes of your dog..like I do mine, and tell me you do not see emotion. Mine is a rescue min-pin. Found on the freeway in san diego county, starved and abused and fearful.... weighed only 5 lbs and to this day will not take food from my hand. I would like to do to those miscreants what they did to her.....ah but then I digress....You see my point....Maybe if we can get stricter laws and more stringent sentences for abusers, that would help people understand on a more gutteral level that they are not property but loving members of our families...and share the kind of emotions that we have as well.
I agree with you when you say that "property" is just like our TV. There is also another problem that no one has yet mentioned. The reason many wish all types of animals to be considered "property" is so that they can continue to use them and make money from them. The cruel treatment of animals is so vast - the way they slaughter horses, the cruel confinement of puppies and "breeding dogs" in puppy mills, chickens being grown too large and too quickly that they can't even get up and often die of hunger and thirst because they can't reach their food which is only inches away. It all comes down to big corporations and MONEY!
We know all animals have feelings, they cry, they can be happy, they hurt - just like we do, no more and no less. What we need are very specific laws that protect our "furry family members" as well as every animal on the planet - equal to humans! After all, we are part of the animal kingdom as well. It is time we prove that we are "civilized" and "compassionate" creatures!

It wasn't easy and it wasn't pretty, but any way you dissect it, Lenoir Community College's season-opening doubleheader with the N. C. Wesleyan junior varsity squad was this: two wins.
The Lancers used a fortuitous bounce to claim Game 1 3-2 and took advantage of 10 walks by Wesleyan pitchers to rally in the nightcap 9-8.
Both victories could just as easily been losses.
"We did what we set out to do, which was win and give a lot of kids some game experience in the process," LCC coach Stony Wine said. "We've got a lot of work to do, but overall it was a typical opening day. Some good, some bad."
Most of the good came from the bats of freshman Robbie Hiser and sophomore Tyler Tant.
Hiser drilled four hits in the twin bill, including a pair of doubles, and drove in three runs, all with a bases-clearing two-bagger in the first inning of game two.
It was the Grafton, Va., native's first double that helped the Lancers to victory in the opener.
With the score tied 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth, Hiser led off with a shot into the left-center field gap that rolled all the way to the fence.
Hiser easily coasted into second, bringing Tant to the plate with the game in the balance.
Tant had homered to open LCC's scoring in the second frame, but it was his base hit in the sixth that brought Hiser home with the eventual game-winner.
Tant ripped a 2-2 fastball from Wesleyan reliever Dillon Moore directly to shortstop Robbie Lanier. As Lanier set himself to field the one hopper, the ball ricocheted off the edge of the infield grass and bounded well over the shortstop's head into left field.
Hiser scored without a throw and then Kyle Smith retired the Bishops in order in the top of the seventh to seal the triumph.
Travis Long, who pitched a perfect sixth, earned the win for the Lancers, who used seven pitchers in the opener and 15 in the two games combined.
The sixth and seventh were the only 1-2-3 innings by LCC pitchers in Game 1.
"We wanted to give everyone some work, and for the most part we did," Wine said. "Pitching-wise it was a mixed bag. Some of the guys threw strikes and others didn't and had to work from behind."
Game 2 was more of an offensive show as the Lancers collected 12 hits to go with the 10 free passes.
In fact, it was a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the seventh that tallied the winning run.
After Smith led off the stanza with a single to left and advanced to second on an out by Tant, Bishops' coach Greg Clark played the percentages and intentionally walked Hiser to set up the force play.
A wild pitch moved the runners to second and third, so Clark again followed the playbook and gave Trent Murray an intentional pass to fill the sacks with one out.
Reliever Andrew Franklin then walked pinch-hitter Troy Denning on five pitches to force home the winning run.
"We had some good at-bats in the second game," Wine said. "We hit the ball hard when we got good pitches and were patient when we didn't."
Another bases-loaded walk, this one to Murray, had allowed the Lancers to grab an 8-7 advantage in the last of the fifth.
The Bishops tied it in the top of the seventh, setting up LCC's final-frame heroics.
Tant doubled in a run and belted a sacrifice fly for the Lancers in Game 2. The product of West Johnston High School finished the day 4-for-7 with 4 RBIs.
Several local players had good outings, and not just for the Lancers.
Former North Lenoir standout Chastin Radford delivered three hits, including a triple, in his LCC debut and his NL teammate David Wiggins tossed two scoreless innings in Game 2 with three whiffs.
Wiggins was the only LCC hurler to pitch at least two innings.
Another former NL star, Mikal Batts, tripled and drove in three runs in the nightcap for the hard-luck Bishops, who have lost all four of their games so far this season by a combined five runs.

Robert M. knew something was wrong when his 1-year-old cat, Kitty, began vomiting and stopped eating. But what he didn't know was that Kitty had somehow swallowed a penny.
Earlier this month, Robert drove Kitty from his home in Bellmore, Long Island to the ASPCA Animal Hospital in Manhattan. X-rays revealed what looked like a shiny penny lodged in Kitty's small intestine, having already passed through her stomach.
"It was the worst day ever," says Robert. "She is such a wonderful cat and she was just so sick."
Dr. Anna Whitehead, who performed surgery on Kitty the same day, has retrieved coins from dogs in the past, but says it's rare for cats to swallow loose change.
She also says Kitty was lucky her condition was not worse, because of the penny's composition.
Pennies dated before 1982 are made of 95 percent copper, and those dated 1983 or later are made of 97.5 percent zinc and coated in a thin plate of copper. The cent's composition was changed in 1982 because the value of the copper in one cent pieces rose above one cent.
"Stomach acid corrodes pennies made of zinc and can cause hemolysis, or a rupturing of red blood cells that leads to life-threatening anemia," says Dr. Whitehead.
In Kitty's case, the penny had turned black from corrosion, making the 1986 mint date barely legible.
"It's hard to say what happened or how long it had been in there," says Dr. Whitehead.
As for the penny, it won't turn up again. Robert is keeping it as a reminder of Kitty's ordeal and has taken it out of circulation.
Kitty, I am so sorry you were sick. You are a beautiful cat with a wise, sensitive face. I am so glad that Robert got you the special care you desperately needed. I hope you recover completely and go home very soon. Robert is a very loving and caring person. You are lucky to have each other.
I understand what Scott is talking about I too was motivated by the Sarah McLachlan singing "in the arm of the angels" it got me to donate and I too get a lot of mail and can seem like harassment. But I also have seen what great work the ASPCA does in disasters for the animals and for the sick and abused. I try to give to my local animal rescue first as they need the money more than the sizeable ASPCA but I try to gove to both. Great organization with great people!
Thank you for the kind words, John! We truly appreciate your help. Please feel free to call us anytime at (800) 628-0028 to adjust your mailing preferences. Thank you so much again for your support!
Yes, everywhere I turn I see advertisement for ASPCA. However, that is a wonderful thing. It does motivate people to join the fight against animal abuse and cruelty everywhere. I once had to call your 800 line to change the credit card being used for my monthly donation after having to close a card and get a new one. I told your operator I would be happy to continue my donations if they didn't make me watch the television ads because they make me cry every time I see them. I still donate. I still watch the ads. I still cry. We have to care about animals. They can not stand up for themselves. I am disabled, on social security and donate to ASPCA and 4 other farm animal sanctuaries that educate people and rescue farm animals. My only regret is I can not do more for animals. Thanks for all you all do. I am happy to help the fight in my small little way! God Bless you all.
Joyce, I so agree.I, also, have very limited income at this time of my life, but I do all I can to donate to animal welfare orgs. I wish so much I could do more. When I see an ad or email from any of these organizations it makes me happy, thinking that maybe more people will become aware and sensitive to the problem of animal welfare. I get a ton of email every day, but I don't mind if it will help save animals in need.
I only wonder how the Doctor removed the penny. It was not mentioned in the article, and I wondered if they were able to do it non-surgically.
Hopefully, you folks will update this story in an upcoming email newsletter.
Keep on helping those little beasties we all love; you're all angels for what and how you do what you do!
Aspca makes a good job, they help a lot for animals. We must continue to give them money.
Thanks for letting me know my local animal shelter needs help more than Aspca although will still help both when possible.

Police are continuing the warning about a man driving around Jacksonville elementary schools trying to pick up young girls by offering them rides in his limousine.
Jacksonville police described the driver as a 60-year-old white man about 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 265 pounds. He has been driving a dark blue or black 1992 Lincoln limousine with Missouri tags.
The car is slightly lifted in the rear, has peeling paint and is missing trim.
Police said the man has been seen driving around Jacksonville grade schools before the start and after the dismissal of classes.
A statement was issued by police Tuesday to clarify that there is no evidence that this incident has even occurred. The department has so far received only one anonymous report and no parent has come forward to verify it.
Jacksonville police spoke with a man fitting that description and driving a similar vehicle last summer. In those incidents and in the most recent reported incident, at no time did any children enter the vehicle and the diver made no attempt to lure or threaten children to enter.
"It is without question extremely inappropriate behavior, but at this point, it has not crossed the threshold of being illegal," police stated.
At this point police are actively investigating these complaints and encourage anyone with verifiable information pertaining to these alleged incidents or any new incidents to come forward speak to officers.
If the car is seen driving around any of the schools, Jacksonville police ask that they be notified at 217-479-4630.
Jacksonville police remind parents to speak with their children about never entering a vehicle driven by a person they do not know.
Greg Olson can be reached at 217-245-6121, ext. 238, or on Twitter @jjcGregOlson
