Children across Recovery School District to Read at School and at Home and Earn Rewards and Prizes for Hard Work and Good Reading
100-book Custom Scholastic Classroom Libraries Placed in 620 RSD Classrooms
New Orleans, LA (April 2, 2008) --
Recovery School District
Superintendent Paul Vallas and Scholastic today announced the New Orleans RSD Superintendent's Challenge—a reading challenge issued to students of all ages across the school district to encourage a generation of strong, enthusiastic readers. The challenge, which will run through the end of the school year, rewards students for reading 100 minutes or more a week, either at school or at home. Superintendent Vallas announced the program at a reading celebration at the Fannie C. Williams School in East New Orleans.
"At Fannie C. Williams, a group of second graders caught "reading fever" this school year and completed more than 20,000 pages. They became truly excited about books and about reading every day. My goal in launching the RSD Superintendent's Challenge is to inspire and motivate all of our students in every grade to read each and develop a real love for reading that will last a lifetime," said Superintendent Paul Vallas.
To help students achieve the goals of the New Orleans RSD Superintendent's Challenge, each classroom in the Recovery School District has received a 100-book age-appropriate, high interest, custom
classroom library
from Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company. The collections are bundled with comprehension quizzes, teacher guides and reward certificates to honor great readers across the district. Students who reach the minimum reading challenge goal of 100 minutes a week will receive prizes from Scholastic; top-scoring district-wide readers will receive special awards from the Superintendent.
"As the people of New Orleans continue to rebuild, Scholastic remains committed to the city's youngest citizens by promoting literacy and learning in every school and every classroom across the Recovery School District," said Greg Worrell, President of Scholastic Classroom and Library Group. "We are proud to stand beside Superintendent Vallas as he issues this important reading challenge and we are happy to provide the hard working students in the district with exciting, engaging books to help achieve their goals."

Study: Having Rich Parents Makes You Less Successful
An assistant professor at the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts at the University of California at Merced, Laura Hamilton, claims that she has found proof that having wealthy parents leads to less successful college careers.
From Hamilton's "More is More or More is Less?":
"Parental aid decreases student GPA, but it increases the odds of graduating—net of explanatory variables and accounting for alternative funding.
Rather than strategically using resources in accordance with parental goals, or maximizing on their ability to avoid academic work, students are satisficing: they meet the criteria for adequacy on multiple fronts, rather than optimizing their chances for a particular outcome.
As a result, students with parental funding often perform well enough to stay in school but dial down their academic efforts."
In other words, those with lots of help from mom and dad tend to take things easy, and while they don't flunk out or have to drop out because they can't afford school, they tend to settle for mediocrity- just doing enough.

When fermenting in plastic, it is very important to buy food grade plastic, as non food grade plastic (such as a bucket purchased at a hardware store or a trash bin) can off-gas some very toxic chemicals, which can leech into the beer. This is the 6 gallon only. Purchase a lid separately. If you want a 1" hole drilled in the bucket please add 50� from the above menu.

COLUMBIA CITY — Various floats, groups and organizations will travel down Main Street as part of the American Legion Parade Saturday at 5 p.m.
An Old Settlers Day tradition, the parade is a favorite for festival goers at any age. Spearheading this year's parade as grand marshal is Dean Ramsey and his wife, Norma.
"We are glad to do it," Dean said. "I never anticipated being honored this way. I am thankful that the parade has continued to be a festival favorite."
Dean was a commander for the legion and served in the U.S. Army from 1953-55 in Korea. When he came home, he met Norma and the couple was married.
"I came home, saw her and we got married," Dean said.
"The rest is history. We've had a good life together. I love her. There's still a spark even after 57 years."
The couple has spent the majority of their lives in Whitley County. They have two sons, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

This classic Sicilian dish traditionally calls for rolling the sardines around the filling. I prefer my mom's tactic, which sandwiches the filling between sardines. This means less fuss both in preparing and eating the dish, ensuring that the savory filling stays put rather than spills out.–Mary Ann Castronovo Fusco
LC You Say Sardines, We Say Sarde Note
This classic Sicilian sardine dish sorta sounds like something Tony Soprano would order at Artie's restaurant, eh? The name just dances on the tongue. Sarde a Beccafico. Try it. It's as easy peasy to say as it is to make. Truly. Not convinced? Take a twirl through author Mary Ann Castronovo Fusco's article on sardines, which includes talk of cooking sardines. Then get back to us.
Stuffed Sardine Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 2
- 4 fresh whole sardines, gutted
- 1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 4 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Pecorino cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated onion
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon pignoli (pine nuts)
- Black pepper to taste
- 6 large bay leaves
- 1. Preheat oven to 350° F (176°C). If your fishmonger has not already done so, cut off the head and fins from the fish, but do not remove the tail. Under running water, hold each sardine, belly-side up and slide your thumbs along the backbone so the fish opens up. Remove the backbone, snapping it off at the tail. Rinse to remove any broken bones and set aside to drain.
- 2. Place breadcrumbs in a small frying pan over a low flame and toast, stirring continuously to prevent scorching. When lightly golden, add 4 teaspoons olive oil and stir until fully incorporated and golden brown. Transfer to a small bowl.
- 3. Add the grated cheese, onion, parsley, raisins, and pignoli to the bread crumbs. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil until well combined.
- 4. Distribute bay leaves on the bottom of an 8 by 8 inch baking pan. Place 2 sardines, skin-side down, over the bay leaves. Top each with half of the bread crumb mixture. Sprinkle with pepper. Top each with one of the remaining sardines, skin side up, taking care to align the tail ends to create neat sardine "sandwiches." Bake for about 15 minutes. Transfer each sardine "sandwich" to a plate. Serve hot or at room temperature.

PLATTSBURGH Theres no better way to enjoy the Halloween season than to get a first-hand look at the haunts of Plattsburgh. The fourth annual Haunted Haunts Tour, provided by the Battle of Plattsburgh Association, will you give a fun, informative and somewhat eerie look at the mysteries in our very own backyards. The idea for the tour originally came from the BOPs former director who had seen cemetery tours in other places and chose to modify it for this area, explained museum manager Kristina Parker-Wingler. We wanted to focus a little bit on the Battle of Plattsburgh, since we are the Battle of Plattsburgh Association, said Parker-Wingler. There are a variety of stories relating to the War of 1812, but then there is so much haunted history around Plattsburgh, so we kind of branched out. The tour, which will be held Saturday, Oct. 25 and Sunday, Oct. 26 has limited seating. Tours will take place at 6:30, 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. each night, and can only allow 13 passengers on each tour. Participants will travel on a bus provided by the YMCA, but there will be stopping points, so remember to dress warm and bring a flashlight! One stop will be at the Riverside Cemetery, where American and British soldiers of the Battle of Plattsburgh are buried. Cemeteries have always attracted people, said tourguide Gordie Little, a local ghost storyteller. We come [to the Riverside Cemetery] every year with the tours ... and people have seen things and taken strange pictures in this cemetery over the years. Little, who has been the tourguide for the last two years, said he has been interested in the paranormal since he was a child. Im interested in people and history, said Little. And if I can tie the spirits of these dead sailors with enough stories to perpetuate it so that young people are interested in the old ghost stories of the Battle of Plattsburgh and what it means for the history of this area. Some people are afraid, only because they are afraid of what we dont understand, Little added. However, there is more in store for those on the tour, than just some cemeteries. If you watch, there are always different ghosts we see throughout the evening, said Parker-Wingler. Its not just riding on a bus and looking at a bunch of old houses. Theres exciting things that happen every year. We travel all around town and stop to different places, Little said. Because there are a lot of haunted buildings in downtown Plattsburgh. Thats just a tiny fraction of the buildings that have spirits in them. Tickets for the tour are $12 per person and reservations are required by calling 566-1814. Seats fill up quickly. Tours will depart from the Battle of Plattsburgh Interpretive Center, 31 Washington Road.

Boy Scouts of America at Gen Con 2013Jul 11, 2013
Mayfair is proud to welcome the Boy Scouts of America to our Gen Con 2013 lineup! First, Mayfair is a leading participant in theGame Design Merit Badge workshop, taking place on the first day of Gen Con! This new merit badge, designed by industry professionals (including several Mayfair Games staffers) will teach scouts the principals of game design, how to create a game from the ground up and how to construct a prototype. At the workshop, players will receive materials for constructing their prototypes and get a chance to meet game industry luminaries from Mayfair Games and other companies.
As if that wasn't enough, 100 industrious scouts will participate in The Big Game™. The Big Game™ is Mayfair's world record-setting attempt to have 1000 people play The Settlers of Catan® at the same time! As you can imagine, setting up the boards and pieces for the game is a major undertaking and 100 scouts have agreed to help us prepare for The Big Game™ and in return, they will get to take part and help make history!
Mayfair Games, Gen Con and the Boy Scouts of America. Three great things that are going to be even greater together.

Do guys get emotionally attached to the girl they lost their virginity to?
I was wondering if guys get attached to who they lose their virginity to. Me and my ex both lost it to each other, we broke up just cause he was... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Yes of course we never forget the first time unless it was for pay or someting like that. We might forget others, but never the first one, especially if it was spontaneous and sweet as it usually is for most people!
So you can be he's still emotionally attached. Of course he could be involved with someone ELSE at college by now so don't think he will come running just because you call him.but he'll probably at least answer you!
Thanks for the answer! I am not that close to many guys so it is great to have a guys opinion sometimes!
How about giving me best answer then?
What Guys Said 2
I get attached to every woman I have sex with, including all the sex workers I have hired. there have only been a few exceptions to this though. Each time I have sex, I want to keep that woman for her decision to be with ME and not with SOMEONE ELSE. Usually, that someone else is taller, younger and better looking than me so I always feel very grateful for her.escorts being the exception to this though. However, such an attachment does go away with time if I never see her again. Sucks though, someday I may meet a keeper before I get really old and wrinkly.hahaha

Eldon Outreach
Posted by Paul on 10/15/2014 1:41:00 PM
Today's blog features
a guest contributor: Melissa Albertson, MDA Communications Director.
My husband and I live just outside the small town of Eldon,
Mo. which is where my children attend school. Many Missourians probably recognize
the town name as a stopping off point before their final destination of the
Lake of the Ozarks.
Last year, my son and I were asked to be part of newly
formed school wellness committee, one of which would exist for each of the
school campuses (lower and upper elementary, middle and high schools). The
Committees are comprised of school faculty, parents and student representatives.
All of this wellness business is brand new in the community
and its schools. In 2013, the
school district received a $100,000 grant from the Missouri Foundation for
Health to address wellness, specifically reducing childhood obesity in the
community through improved education and awareness, and eventually, changed
habits. The grant is renewable each year for five years. In addition, the
community applied for a sister grant to address wellness issues outside the
school, which has resulted in things like a cleaned and updated
community park with new equipment and plans for a more permanent, inviting
home for the local farmers' market to encourage more and local produce consumption.
Some of the fruits of the school grant include new and
better playground equipment, the introduction of salad bars in both lower and
upper elementary schools, a more robust Walk to
School day, a recently held "Zombie Run" to encourage physical activity,
and "Wellness Week" at each of the schools, which is the impetus of this guest
During Wellness Week, the wellness coordinator invites
members of the community involved in health and wellness related careers to speak
to the kids about healthy habits during their lunches. Because I'm on the
committee and they know where I work, I was asked to present as a dental guest
speaker at the lunches of both lower (pre-K through grade 3) and upper elementary
(grades 4 through 6) for one of the days of Wellness Week.
For each day, my 10-15 minute presentation focused on food
choices, specifically candy—and especially sour candy—and soda and sports
drinks. I finished up the presentation with oral hygiene, reminding them about
"2 Min2x" and a fun flossing skit I
happened to find with a Google search. It's always better when you can have a
couple audience volunteers!
We teach and preach about good oral health care and healthy
choices … in fact, we're so mired in it day in and day out, we think "surely
everyone knows this … surely parents are talking to their kids about this."
But, there still is the need for education—for kids to continue to hear this
message—and from people other than their parents.
Sure, I know I am not going to get them to quit drinking all
the bad stuff or eating candy (after all, Halloween
is just a few days away), but hopefully they'll eventually think about it being
a sometimes treat and not an everyday occurrence. Mostly, it's just about being
there and being involved. They feel their day has been made more special
because they had someone come to visit them from the community. It's a joy to
be with young children who love to show their missing teeth, or confess they've
had a cavity (I reassure them it happens, but if they take good care of their
teeth they can prevent future ones) or boast they get to drink soda as a treat only—or may not even like it!

Is It Safe Being a Patient?
Posted by Paul on 8/7/2014 4:20:00 PM
The objective of the conference was to increase dialogue on the need for greater patient safety measures. This begins with communication and coordination of care across all possible caregivers associated with a patient from diagnosis to aftercare. The concept of a Just Culture was put forth where the focus is on proactive learning from errors and correcting systems rather than punishing offenders. Presentations were given by Becky Miller, executive director of the Center for Patient Safety Center, Steve Calloway, RPh and pharmacy board member, Drs. Les Hall and Erica Otis from MU School of Medicine, Dr Sue Scott, Manager of Patient Safety and Risk Management at MU Healthcare, and Jim Wieberg, director of MAOPS Physician Health Program.
There was also a roundtable report from the four regulatory boards describing the scope and degree of patient safety issues they see in a year. They all gave examples of complaints and discipline as a means of showing how far reaching the patient safety issues can range. Brian Barnett represented the MDB and said they are obligated to investigate all of the approximate 400 complaints each year. Here's how he broke down the classification and quantity of top complaints.
· Quality of Care - 96
· CE Violation - 32
· Advertising Violation – 30
· Malpractice Report – 28
· Fee Dispute – 25
· 10 other categories had less than 20 cases
Mr. Barnett broke down the types of discipline into these categories and the number times each was used last year
· Probation (up to 5 years) – 10
· Suspension (up to 3 years) – 7
· Censure – 2
· Revocation – 2
Finally Mr. Barnett mentioned that the current hot topics that were hard to regulate centered around sedation and infection control.
There were no significant next steps announced at the conference other than to continue to work to improve collaborative communication and care coordination. The conference was filmed and will be made available for viewing and additional use. The MDA attended to keep abreast of the discussion. There was good content on provider burnout and second victim phenomenen that is of value to the Well Being Program.

I bagged a cougar last night at the Last Chance Saloon.
What would happen if everyone were just like you?
socialboy - What would happen if everyone in the U.S. did as you propose and lived off the government?
"You just need a valid license to be out in the woods with a firearm." Does he mean a hunting license that coincides with what's in season? For example, if you're out during small game sease, you at least need a small game license?
On lcp's post, would a 'concealed pistol license' be sufficient? I would think you could just open carry without any license if that's the case.
More info please...
I think it's glaringly obvious you have no ability whatsoever to see the world through the eyes of another. Who are you to tell others their ideas are foolish, and yours (only yours) is the right answer. In case you haven't yet noticed, everyone's different. I would start businesses to employ the great people of the State of Michigan and support deserving local charties - mainly involving kids.
This author is so biased her work doesn't even warrant reading, unless you are doing a study on the extreme political fringe.
Father wins, but the child support aspect is the most glaring aspect for me, and I would think for any potential jurors. The mother is fine with the child support, but then does a 180 when it comes to visitation. You can't have it both ways, honey.
I don't know how those in Lansing dealing with those in Detroit maintain their patience. If you want to make the constitutional and 'will of the voters' arguments, fine - the end result is bankruptcy. If you want help from the rest of Michigan, then you agree to an emergency manager. I admire those dealing with Detroit. I would have left them to rot in their own incompetence months ago. I have no patience whatsoever for the type of behavior being displayed by Detroit, and quite frankly trying to help people who refuse to help themselves is not worth anyone's time or money. Just leave them alone in their own glory.
I have a lot of respect for Izzo, and I don't see him going to the pros ever. He's like Bobby Knight in his love of the game and the kids at the college level over everything superficial. He does what's right regardless of the consequences. Look into his eyes and his wife's eyes; you can see who they are, and they are good people.
In response to FoniksUzur, to be honest, I don't know and I don't care. I cannot solve all of the world's problems. All I can do is ensure that those aspects of the world I control are the best they can be. You point out many problems, but you have no answers...what good is that? You would make more progress by focusing on making the slice of the world you can affect the best it can be.
I would certainly visit the west coast of Michigan more often if there were quality rail service to get there. I've traveled Japan by rail, and if we could get to that level of quality (which I highly doubt given our culture), it would be pretty cool.
Based on what I've heard from employees who work for Stryker, I'm amazed they are on the list. I've heard they work their people extremely hard, but then pay on the low end of the spectrum.
Approaching this from a "money aside" is inappropriate because the cost of this vehicle is the whole point.
Oh, this will pass...LOL
The MEA would have you believe that a line has just now been crossed, and as a result, the gloves are coming off. Truth is the gloves came off a long long time ago, and both sides have already been at 12,000 rpms for several years. Both sides will 'end' the other at any opportunity, and this is nothing more than this reality playing itself out. My personal opinion is that public sector unions are fundamentally flawed in theory; however, many (approximately 50% of everyone) disagree with me. I've come to believe that their are biological differences in the way the minds of liberals and conservatives work. In no particular order, and as an imperfect example to make a point, it's no different than the differences between the way a house cat and a lion are wired. They're just different.
All I can do is speak from experience, and it's likely limited to the two schools involved in my experience. Our kids were in public school, but we decided to seek other options because there always seemed to be a handful of children with severe bevahioral issues. There's truth behind the notion that 10% of the students take up 90% of a teacher's time. I don't blame the teachers; they had to address the issues. However, it just wasn't an atmosphere conducive to maximizing learning. We opted to try a charter school in the area, and have never looked back. The attitude of the staff and teachers, the attention to students, the regular parental involvement, the pace of what my children have learned, basically everything was leaps and bounds better. Again, this may be limited to the two schools with which I have personal knowledge, but wow what a difference.
Oh, the dialogue Detroit knows so well...'it's not our fault, it's your fault, so give us free money and leave us alone.'
Dear Girl in the Photo,
Will you marry me?
I don't know much about him but I've always had the impression of Bing as a ray of light in a sea of Detroiters who are dishonest, uneducated criminals and would-be criminals, who even on the best of days cannot accomplish anything good. I've always felt he's tasked with the impossible in Detroit. But then again, I cannot understand why he would continue his efforts if they are futile, so perhaps you are correct.
@ rationalbasis - You should have stuck around a little longer than kindergarten and perhaps you would have picked up some critical thinking skills. He's not saying two wrongs make a right (that's the argument used by Obama supporters to justify his deficit spending). He's acknowledging that what Limbaugh said about the law student was wrong, and asking why Maher gets a pass on something at least equally reprehensible? Maher's performances were arguably worse since he repeated them even after time for reflection.

Patty Smyth and Scandal to play Hollywood CasinoWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
From the opening bellows on Scandal's "The Warrior," it's clear that Patty Smyth has a kick-ass attitude — and a powerful voice to back it up.
And if there was any doubt, there is the 1984 video.
"I always thought 'The Warrior' video was going to be funny; it was supposed to be sort of tongue in cheek," Smyth said. "And then when it came out as this sort of serious whatever the hell it was, you couldn't recognize me. They cut all my hair off; I had all this makeup on.
"So I had this huge hit record, but nobody really recognized me on the street; they recognized me more from 'Goodbye to You' than from 'The Warrior.'
"If I had really been thinking with my business cap, I would have really fought them and I would have paid for it, which would have been like a huge amount of money though because that video cost a s***load of money," she said. "Maybe that's what kept me from doing it, because I did not want that video to come out; I hated it. Now I think it's funny."
Maybe because Scandal made a couple more videos: "Beat of a Heart" and "Hands Tied." Then Smyth scored as a solo artist with her 1987 debut "Never Enough" that included "Downtown Train." Five years later, the self-titled "Patty Smyth" featured "No Mistakes" and a duet with Don Henley, "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough."
The singer landed an Academy Award nomination for 1994's "Look What Love Has Done," which she co-wrote for the movie "Junior."
Smyth married tennis star John McEnroe in 1997; she had one daughter, and he had three children from previous relationships. The couple added two daughters of their own to the family.
In a 2009 People magazine story, Smyth joked she had become "The Worrier."
"I am 'The Warrior' and 'The Worrier,' I'm both," she said. "I worry about the kids and all that stuff. I really should worry about bigger things, but I sweat the small stuff as they say. I worry about where my kids are; they have to deal with me all the time."
And the famous couple have the same problems as most parents.
"I get no break, you know, because I have two teenage daughters at home, and they're just brutal to mom," Smyth said. "They don't care what their father did or what I did; we're just annoying parents, basically."
But the rocker chick resurfaced when Scandal reunited for a VH1 show in 2004.
During a call from Florida where she and McEnroe were visiting her mom, Smyth said the band is working on a new CD, and she plans to release a holiday disc this year.
"I'd wanted to play," the New York City native said. "I had 20 kids at home, so it didn't seem like something I could do, but we just had to plan it."
Smyth and Scandal will play a free show at 8 p.m. Feb. 8 in the Hollywood Casino Toledo H Lounge.
"I want to sing," she said. "It feels good to rock and run around. What I like about it is when the audience brings it and we bring it; something really great can happen."
Fans might want to leave their cellphones in their pockets and purses.
"What really bugs me is the fact that people are holding up their phones and videotaping [the concert] the whole time. I just find that so distracting," Smyth said.
"I know when I videotape something like a play my kid was in or something, it's distracting because I'm almost not in the moment; I'm too busy worrying about what I'm videotaping to enjoy the show. But there's no way you can stop everyone.
"The whole thing about doing a live show — it's never going to be as good later as it was at that moment anyway; just enjoy the moment."

Silva earned the nickname "The Axe Murderer" for his extremely aggressive style; the majority of his fights have either ended in a knockout or referee stoppage due to his strikes. In the ring, he is known for engaging opponents with punches and utilizing knees in the Muay Thai clinch. He is also known for kicking and stomping downed opponents as well as his looping punches, which are unique amongst the straight punching styles of many MMA'ers. Silva's nickname in Brazil is "Cachorro Louco", which translates to "Crazy Dog", again due to his aggressive fighting style, but also because of the vicious way he stares down opponents just before the beginning of his fights.

Garuda Indonesia said it was reviewing its policy on transporting animals after more than 1,400 people signed petition to boycott the national carrier for allegedly mistreating animals.
is committed to environment preservation, including dolphins,"
Garuda Indonesia's corporate secretary, Pudjobroto, said late on Sunday. "Garuda will review the policy on transporting live
animals, including dolphins."
The airline, which was just awarded 'World's Best Regional Airline' by a British based airline service, was carrying two live dolphins on board a flight to Jakarta from Bali over the weekend.
"On Saturday, two dolphins used in the widely protested travel show in Kuta . . . left Denpasar on passenger Flight GA 411," Femke den Haas, spokesman for the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, said on Sunday. "The dolphins traveled in small crates together with sea-lions and otters, all animals exploited in the travel show."
Den Haas said Garuda should be responsible for the suffering and exploitation of what she called "blood dolphins," because they transported them in small crates from Japan to Bali.
"These transports are extremely bad for the dolphins," den Haas said. "Dolphins also suffer from stress during transport, the extreme sounds and the high chlorine content used in the small plastic pools and transport boxes in which they stay. This chlorine also blinds them."
The petition was initiated by Barbara Napoles from Florida — besides calling for a boycott of Garuda, the petition also calls on the Indonesian government to put an end to dolphin shows.
Such a petition, which collected more than 6,500 signatures, successfully stopped Hong Kong Airlines from transporting dolphins after the airline admitted they shuttled five of the animals from Japan to Vietnam.
Dolphins are a protected animal in Indonesia, under the 1990 Law on the Protection of Biodiversity.

Group assists pet owners falling on hard timesWritten by Scott McKimmy | | firstname.lastname@example.com
For the elderly, disabled, impoverished and others in need relying on pets for companionship, a new charitable organization offers assistance, providing food, supplies and support.
P.A.L.S. Ohio, or Pets Are Loving Support, established an Ohio chapter in July, founded by Kyle Traxler and the Rev. Dr. Forrest Osborn, in response to the effect of a lagging economy on low-income and struggling families and individuals with pets.
The organization addresses those "stuck between a rock and a hard place," said Traxler, P.A.L.S. president.
"We discovered it more since the housing market and everything," she said. "People are fighting for the jobs market and the housing market. They're fighting to pay for their house or trying to keep their job and they're unable to provide for their pet, too."
P.A.L.S. provides an array of free services, including dog and cat food, cat litter when available, temporary foster care, grief counseling for clients whose pets die, referrals to the Toledo Area Humane Society and Toledo Animal Shelter, and even arrangements for veterinary visits. Traxler cited P.A.L.S. as the only organization of its kind throughout Ohio.
"If the person is one of our clients, we do not ask for any money for [transportation]," she said. "Our volunteers actually will just take the animal and our client over to their appointment and pick them back up when the appointment is done."
The idea originated as a private rescue group for those choosing to give up their pets but were concerned about the animals' well-being once placed in shelters or relocated to new homes under the care of new owners. Traxler and Osborn abandoned the rescue concept in favor of promoting distressed owners to keep their pets.
P.A.L.S. depends solely on contributors, such as Costco, and private citizens to support clients, who must earn about $18,000 or less to qualify, which Traxler said may soon rise to as much as $22,000. Currently a private charity with 501-3(c) status pending, the organization offers memberships for both individuals and corporations who wish to support its cause.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul Great for backpacking As an outdoor instructor, I take anywhere from 10 to 25 students backpacking in the Colorado Rockies, and we use this tent. It is light, compact and roomy enough for 4 college students plus gear. It has held up in torrential rainfall and extreme wind when camping above the tree line. Great product and would recommend this tent for group backpack excursions. July 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by bethany favorite "everything" tent love this tent for light and fast travel as just a fly or combine it with the bug netting for a roomy tent that will keep the biting critters out. I've had a mega mid for years and just bought a new one after my old faithful went missing after a trip. I can't be without a mega mid (mega light) and the bug net is a must for me! I have not had this new tent in a rainstorm yet but hope it works as well as its older sibling the mega mid! July 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Edward very impressed I went on an alpine trip with two good friends in the Eastern Sierras and one of them brought this mega mid tent. really nothing more than a very light parachute type of material I was wondering if they could last the night using just that as cover. Man was I wrong, I had packed a solo tent at about 4-4.5 pounds with a rain fly. We were up there in August and the conditions weren't terrible, but the Mega mid held up incredibly well and even without stakes, it was held down by using heavy rocks found on the trail and a trekking pole. Fantastic. Inside it was bombproof. Felt solid and incredibly light. This is my next tent purchase for sure. I was very impressed. June 16, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by jp workable shelter I have owned this tent for a few years now and it stands up surprisingly well to wind and rain. Replacing the center pole with with the two-ski-pole-joiner-thing works great. Factory taped seams would be a major improvement. There are a lot of seams to seal, and factory taping lasts longer. If you are deciding between this and a regular tent, there are some factors to consider. It has to be well staked and occasionally the ground does not cooperate. The floor space is generous for the weight but the low outside edges are less useful in wet weather because contact with the fabric (like all tents) is undesireable. It works poorly in winter because snow slides down and crushes the edges. If the rain is really horizontal it will get under the fly and over the floor. It is still my goto shelter because of weight and convenience, but not on trips where I can't afford failure. June 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve Reliable, Durable, and Innovative I purchased the Mega Light tent, Mega Bug, and optional floor over two years ago. Have used it in vastly different environmental situations, including snow and rain, and must say that I am extremely pleased with the combination and interchangeability of units. During snake and bug season the Mega Bug and Mega Light are the perfect combination. In winter, and in areas where bugs and snakes are not an issue, ditch the screen and go with the optional floor. It connects securely to the Mega Light and there has never been an occasion where rain or snow have been a problem inside the unit. In rain, set up the tent. Then, in the shelter of the tent open up the optional floor, or Mega Bug, and install it. Never gets the floor wet. Might not have been designed that way in the lab, but works exceptionally well in the field. I have used this system with groups of two, three, and four, including myself. With a little imagination you can set the system up so that packs, shoes, etc. can be sheltered effectively without impacting the shelter it provides. Adapting it for setup in rain or snow is really very simple. Spread out between four people; cooking gear, minus the fuel, and the Mega Light tent system averages less than a kilogram for each person. The optional aluminum pole as it is a bit lighter and has served very well. Keep the fiber pole in case it is ever required as a substitute. The optional trekking pole system works fairly well, if you have the right type of poles. All in all, it is easier to carry the single pole, in most cases, and reserve the trekking poles in case the tent pole is damaged. The seam sealing was an initial worry, and did represent a lot of time getting it right. The extremely light tent fabric was also a bit of a concern. However, after over two years, and fifty+ nights out in all types of conditions, I'm a believer. Take good care of it, and it will serve you well. And, that is, in the final analysis, what anyone should expect in a quality back-country shelter system. A basic standard for any quality gear is reliability, functionality, and durability. The Mega Light system more than meets the exacting standards of all three. May 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kyle Smitty Best Light Housing on the Market As if this thing needs a review, I'll go ahead and toss in my 2 cents. I am a guide in the Frank Church Wilderness in the summer and travel to some remote locations via my whitewater kayak much of the year. I have spent time in South America/ Asia/ NZ and few other places, always with a megalight in the bag. This is the most bombproof tent if assembled correctly and can find it's niche anywhere if you just have the know how. The Megalight is simple structure that has a few cons, but makes up for it in simplicity/ weight/ and set up time. Packing to slightly larger than a softball, the megalight fits just about anywhere. The material is waterproof in even the most torrential of precipitous downfall, even in Peru's rainy season when rivers are rising faster than you can ask for your mom. The key is bomb-proofing the anchor points using; stakes, rocks, dead-man anchors, roots, etc. The carbon-fiber pole is incredibly light and telescopes to compensate for uneven ground. On 9 day self support kayaking trips, when space is a seriously precious commodity, I ditch the pole altogether and substitute a kayaking paddle or I find a nice overhanging branch and use a small loop at the top of the tent to suspend the structure with some P-Chord. This increases the amount of space in the tent to chuck gear around without navigating around a center pole. On days with torrential down-poor, it's pointless to put the mega-light back into a dry bag. I pack it in front of the bulkhead where water can get into it. Not an issue though due to the fact that the fabric sluffs water as soon as that structure is erected, and with fingers crossed, the sun can pop out to dry the material out in a matter of minutes. Cons- BUGS!!! I HATE BUGS! Sand Fly's and Mosquitos are the worst. The mega-light out of the box will not stop them, however, with a little gumption, seam seal, and bug netting, one can create a low-profile skirt around the base of the structure to close the gap between the ground and tent, while maintaining breathability. BOOM BAM! Buzz OFF Buggy-Bugs! Also, if you like sleeping on rafts/dories/sweep boats/ or in the back of trucks, you can rig the mega-light up to fit over them. Hope this helps. If you throw this piece of gear in the bag, I promise you won't regret it. Cheers November 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Casey Simply the best There is only one thing to say about the BD mids: they are the pinnacle of lightweight shelter design, bar none. Whether the mission calls for bikepacking, ski touring, wilderness packrafting, or backpacking with the kids, I never use any other shelter. May 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry Great 4-season emergency shelter I have been looking for an emergency shelter that will protect me and 2-4 others during SAR missions in the Colorado wilderness. Square tarps were light but hard to set up, and cuben pyramids were simple but pricey. I've seen this lightweight silnylon 'mid work well in the snow with optional snow anchors, and with some paracord and/or thin bungees you can leave the center pole behind to save even more weight. Don't forget to apply SilNet to the interior seams 48 hours before you go. December 26, 2013
