ELIZABETHTON — The Carter County Courthouse was shut down for over two hours on Tuesday because of a bomb threat. Specially trained police dogs were brought in to search the building and no bombs were found. The building reopened shortly after 1 p.m.
Mayor Leon Humphrey said the call came to the county clerk's office at 11:06 a.m. He said the clerk who took the call said the message sounded like an automated tape recording. The caller said there were "multiple" bombs in the courthouse.
The county clerk's office immediately called Mayor Humphrey with the message. He informed 911 at 11:10 a.m. and he immediately ordered the evacuation of the building.
The nearby Carter County Justice Center was also evacuated.
The Elizabethton Police Department and the Elizabethton Fire Department closed off the streets surrounding the courthouse, including three blocks of Main Street and several blocks of West Elk Avenue from Academy Street to Highway 19E. Fire trucks and police cars blocked the roads and permitted only local traffic to enter.
Capt. Joy Markland, commander of the Criminal Investigations Division with the Elizabethton Police Department, said the Bristol, Tennessee Police Department and the Tennessee Highway Patrol brought in dogs trained to detect explosives to search the buildings.
After the dogs searched the two-floor building, the all clear was given. Citizens and employees were allowed to return to the building and traffic was again permitted to drive though the area.
Humphrey said the incident "denied ouir citizens access to conduct their business and employees from performing their work."
The threat interrupted the closing moments of a five-day trail that had been going on in the Main Courtroom. Attorneys Richard and Thom Gray said they were down to a single witness who was going to testify for 10 minutes. They said they planned to enter a stipulation about the interruption and conclude the testimony when the building was reoccupied.
The case also caused a problem for Sessions Court in the Justice Center. With that building locked and roads to the courtroom blocked, defendants were delayed in geeting to court for the afternoon session.
The Carter County closure was just one of a reported 24 bomb threats in Tennessee on Tuesday. Markland said she had heard there were other courthouses threatened, but she said there was no immediate way to know if the bomb threats were related and no assumptions were made that there was a connection.
Markland said the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Homeland Security assisted the Elizabethton Police Department.
An update posted around 1:15 p.m. Tuesday is below:
A call to the Carter County Clerk Tuesday morning alleging multiple bombs were in the courthouse turned out to be false.
County Clerk Mary Gouge received what sounded like an automated call just after 11 this morning. She immediately called Carter County Mayor Leon Humphrey, who called 911. The building was then evacuated.
Officers with the Bristol Police Department and the Tennessee Highway Patrol assisted in sweeping the building with bomb-sniffing dogs.
No bomb was found and the building was deemed safe by around 1:15 p.m.
Elizabethton Police Capt. Joy Markland heard of reports of other bomb threats at courthouses around the state but said this incident was treated as unique.
Keep checking JohnsonCityPress.com for more information and the Wednesday print edition for a full story by Elizabethton Bureau Chief John Thompson.
According to the Associated Press, 24 courthouses across the state received bomb threats this morning, including the one in Carter County.
No devices were found in any of those courthouses.
Tennessee became the fourth state to deal with similar bomb hoaxes. One targeted 28 courthouses in Oregon and similar threats were reported in Nebraska and Washington this month.
Seven threats were in West Tennessee, four in Middle Tennessee and 13 in East Tennessee, said state Emergency Management Agency spokesman Jeremy Heidt. No bombs have been found.
Dalya Qualls, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, said no arrests have been made and the agency is assisting local law enforcement to investigate.
The West Tennessee counties that received threats were Carroll, Crockett, Decatur, Hardeman, Hardin, Chester and Shelby. The Middle Tennessee counties affected were Cheatham, Clay, Franklin and Giles. The East Tennessee counties that received threats were Anderson, Bledsoe, Blount, Campbell, Carter, Claiborne, Cumberland, Fentress, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hamilton and Hancock.

November 1997 Newsletter,
Volume 2. Issue 3
If you have called the MB-F offices at some point during the last two weeks you will have noticed a distinct change in the telephone system. The new phone system was installed to more efficiently process the high volume of calls received on a daily basis at the MB-F offices. The toll-free club line has direct lines to those departments clubs routinely need to contact to conduct club business, bypassing the switchboard completely. If the person with whom you need to speak is on another line their voice mail will kick in, you can leave a detailed message and a number where you can be reached and they can return your call with information to answer your question at their fingertips.
Exhibitors calling the regular MB-F line can now be connected directly with the person who will have the answers to their questions. If requesting a premium list they can connect with a voice mail that will take their name and postal address for forwarding any premium list they want - they don't have to hold for the next available operator.
Like any change, the new system will take some getting used to by us "old dogs" and some time to fully realize its capabilities. It is a change for the better. However, the most important ingredient in this (or any) communication tool is LISTENING. Please listen to the prompts at the beginning of the message. It is not complicated, just different from our old system. Barring any unforseen technical difficulty you will reach your party and have your answers promptly.
Premium List Copy on the Net
InfoDog and MB-F have announced a new premium list copy system for kennel clubs on the Internet. The popular infodog.com website now allows any approved AKC conformation or obedience event to access an online premium list copy submission system.
This system is accessible from the individual kennel club "home" pages on the InfoDog system. The individual club "home pages" are accessed throughout the InfoDog website by accessing the calendar of shows, searching panels by breed, judge, or individual show name. The individual club home pages can also be accessed directly at /files/evndat.prg;meventno=######## (where ######## is the 8 digit event number assigned by AKC).
At the bottom of the club page there are now two submission boxes where a user can enter a 4 to 8 character password of their choice to access the premium list copy and prize copy systems. These passwords secure the premium list data submitted and prevent other users from accessing and altering the information.
The premium list copy system will display a complete input form with all information required by the AKC Rules and policies to be included in an official premium list. The prize copy system allows individual breeds to be selected for trophy and prize information. The data is written to a database when these forms are submitted. The data can be retrieved and edited as necessary and printed for review by selecting the print option on your browser.
There is an option to flag the data as complete. Once this flag is marked the system will automatically notify the MB-F premium list department to retrieve it for further composition and editing. No more paper forms and delays with the postal system! The data goes directly from your computer system to ours!
This system also allows non-MB-F customers to access and use the system. All approved AKC events are accessible. A non-MB-F club can input the data the same way and use the "save as text" option on their browser to create a local copy of the data on a diskette. This diskette along with a printout from their browser can be submitted to their superintendent or local printer. The judging panel is also accessible from the club home page and can be printed and saved in the same manner for submission to another superintendent or printer.
InfoDog really does almost everything except take your dog into the ring!
With the advent of the immensely popular InfoDog web site a whole new era of communication was established that defies description, logic or imagination at times. Folks who would never think of picking up the phone to say "Thanks" for receiving their acknowledgment regularly send "thank you's" for receiving their e-mail. Folks who would never think of calling you back and thanking you for answering their question regularly e-mail back.
It is not unusual for us to receive SEVERAL HUNDRED e-mail messages overnight. This means someone must open each one, read it, forward to the appropriate department or person for an answer, the answer must be found, typed and transmitted. This is a time consuming process and precludes having "instant" replies. We try to answer within 24 hours, depending upon the volume, using the automatic reply option that fills in the e-mail address submitted by the person who sent the original message. All e-mail messages received that ask a question are answered. FULLY ONE-THIRD OF THESE ANSWERS ARE RETURNED AS UNDELIVERABLE for any number of reasons. Most are returned as "user unknown"; some answers cannot even be transmitted due to an unknown or invalid domain.
Many believe someone is sitting here monitoring the e-mail 24-hours-a-day. This is not so. Depending upon the volume received, we try to pull e-mails twice a day - once in the morning and once after lunch, during the normal work week. However, due to the sheer volume of messages received, this is not always possible as it may take hours. There is no e-mail pulled on weekends or holidays.
Perhaps because the medium is so "instant" there seems to be a feeling of face-to-face contact, or, at the very least, the feeling of talking with someone. Because of this people do not communicate in such a way as to give the complete information needed to answer their question or request. It is a common occurrence to receive e-mails that say: "Please send me the premium list." That's it. No show name, no date, no name or address to send it. Or, how 'bout this one? "Please correct the spelling of my name to........" No clue as to where we might find the spelling of the name....no show name or date, no breed, dog's name or AKC #. What about, "we would appreciate it if you could schedule *** late morning or early afternoon each day." Okay, is that for a certain show weekend or is that forever? "I believe there are two shows coming up in October, when are the closing dates?"
We also regularly receive messages such as: "I'm from Brazil and ...... I have ** and I want to know more about this breed."; "Do you know anywhere I can purchase various types of gifts with *** on them?"; "I'm very worried with the color coat of the future puppies that my female dog is waiting for.....please answer me as soon as possible."; "I have a *** who is incredibly smart. I can teach him any trick........how could I get him on a commercial?"; "Where can we visit a draftshow of *** next year...?"; "I'm trying to get some real information on taking my dog on an airplane with me."; "What exactly are 'the nationals'...?"
We receive questions on breed specific diseases, kidney stones in dogs, feeding questions, breeding questions, questions on how to resolve conflicting info from breeder and veterinarian, where to find a dog, how to get a dog, should I breed my dog?, I just lost my dog where can I get another?, how can I get started showing?, and on, and on, and on.....
Then we get notices that we have posted something incorrectly - which we really appreciate - but we get hundreds of them before we have a chance to investigate and correct.
We also get suggestions.......lots of suggestions....... some of which are really constructive and a help to us in the development of the web site. We appreciate any constructive criticism or suggestion.
If you should need to e-mail us with a question, please be specific. Remember, we don't see you; we don't know who you are; we have no frame of reference to your message. If you have a question regarding an entry we need to know the show name and date, dog's breed, name, AKC #, your relationship to entry, in addition to your question. Also remember, if you are inquiring on a show that has not closed yet, we are not permitted, under AKC policy, to check entries until they close. If you are inquiring on something for which you have received an e-mail confirmation it is helpful to attach that confirmation to your message. We have no way of knowing what you may have received from us previously.
Remember, if you don't get your e-mail confirmation SOMETHING IS WRONG......and it could be your e-mail address. It may be wrong the way you submitted it; it may have been input incorrectly because we couldn't read it or there may have been a typo. If you don't get an answer to a question SOMETHING IS WRONG....and it is most probably your address. I'd like to have money for every time we are told an address is correct and it comes bouncing back to us....and there's no way to get back to that person. We get so much "undeliverable" mail returned we just automatically delete it - we no longer open it.
If you are requesting a premium list we need to know the show name and date and we MUST have your name and postal address in order to send it to you.
If you are requesting to be added to the mail file we need your name and postal address in order to forward the appropriate form to you. If you want to change your address, please remember all our records are kept BY DOG. In order to locate your old address to correct, we need your dog's breed, name, AKC # too.
If you are sending club information, please include your club name, show date, your name and a telephone number in case it is necessary for us to call you. Also, when you send in your premium list material by regular postal mail, please include an e-mail address so we will have an alternative method of reaching you.
Please remember the volume of messages we receive. Sending the same message every two minutes will not enable us to answer you any quicker; it will, however, delay us as we must open each one of those messages, read it, determine where it goes, etc.
Finally, people also share their humorous messages with us as well. Here's the latest we received:
Pointer + Setter = Poinsetter, a traditional Christmas pet
Kerry Blue Terrier + Dachshund = Pyradachs, a puzzling breed
Pekingese + Lhasa Apso = Peekasso, an abstract dog
Irish Water Spaniel + Curly Coated Retriever = Lab Coat Retriever, the choice of research scientists
Newfoundland + Basset Hound = Newfound Asset Hound, a dog for financial advisors
Terrier + Bulldog = Terribull, a dog that makes awful mistakes
Bloodhound + Labrador = Blabador, a dog that barks incessantly
Malamute + Pointer = Moot Point, owned by.... oh, well, it doesn't matter anyway
Collie + Malamute = Commute, a dog that travels to work
Deerhound + Terrier = Derriere, a dog that's true to the end
& Dog Shows
There is a saying in business "Keep up or get out". MB-F, Inc. has lived by that saying for many years. We have embraced the future with our advances in computer technology and in our constant ways of exploring new ideas to make dog shows more interesting and more fun for the exhibitor.
We have invented new ways of making entries into shows. Some examples: Rolf our telephone computer oriented method of using your touchtoner telephone pad to provide the information for an entry. It is secure and also provided other information such as judging information, premium list information, etc. This was a very early method to help exhibitors and judges get show information. Even before Rolf we designed a secure entry system to aid exhibitors in making entries. This system is called Dial-N-Entry. It took nearly a year for us to convince the AKC Board that this was a legitimate system. The introduction of credit cards was the clincher. (The rules state that all entries must be accompanied by the correct fees). The credit card had become legal tender.
We are now in an advanced stage of receiving entries called the InfoDog entry system. It is a system on the internet whereby we can receive entries for any dog show held by any club using any Superintendent or Show Secretary. A confirmation number is receivable immediately verifying we have received the entry. After authorization is received the entry is forwarded to the proper Superintendent or Show Secretary.
In addition, InfoDog has all the show information available for every show which is AKC approved including specialties, obedience and even matches. Other information includes judges' names, addresses, breeds approved to judge and any and all assignments within a given period of time, past or present.
The other items on InfoDog are too numerous to mention such as premium lists, judging programs, etc. A trip onto this vast website is truly an adventure to dog show persons as well as the general public. I have many friends not in the dog show world but who are dog lovers and when they are introduced to InfoDog their reaction is "WOW!" Try it. You'll like it.
Within the last year we have been working with the American Kennel Club to expedite a system where Show Results would be obtainable almost immediately at the conclusion of a show. We have made great progress in that direction and we are actually able to forward such results electronically to the AKC and to our internet site within one day of the show's finish.
These results are distributed Worldwide for all to see. It has been mandated by AKC that all Superintendents must be able to provide this service by the year 2000. We are working with the AKC toward ensuring that this goal is achieved.
So, you see we are working to keep up. We are pedaling as fast as we can and we have oiled our bikes to operate smoothly in this changing world. We do not live in the past nor do we intend to rest on our laurels. We face each day with its new challenges and we look forward to a bigger, better and brighter future for the Sport of Breeding and Showing Dogs. It's our Business.
This newsletter, recently reintroduced by us, is another way we hope to get news to the dog show world. We do not intend to get into the gossip business. "Just the facts ma'am" We look forward to hearing from anyone having something of importance to say. We will not publish rumors, slander or any unsigned letters or articles. We are looking for information on the positive side to benefit all of dogdom. We look forward to hearing your constructive comments or to publishing your articles. May we hear from you?
In October
Visiting Switzerland in October for pleasure is fun. Visiting for business reasons can be rewarding as well as fun.
Bob Christiansen, Lois and I went for business reasons at the invitation of Raphael de Santiago. Since we recently did a World Show in Puerto Rico, Raphael wanted us to witness a new format developed by FCI for a Supreme World Championship Show. We accepted the invitation and were well rewarded. The format of the show was excellent, including ring layouts and judging procedures. We are encouraged to try some of those new ideas and will probably do so in the future when we do another world show. Perhaps we may even introduce some of the ideas into our regular shows. Aside from learning new ways of doing dog shows we had the opportunity of meeting many leaders and dignitaries of foreign kennel clubs. A simplification of the show format was to bring the top 10 dogs of each country together and choose the Supreme Champion. Five hundred and fifty nine champions from 30 different countries participated. They came from as far away as Japan, South America, Russia and most all of Europe. A great success and a great beginning of a world type championship Dog Show. Only two dogs from the U.S. participated and they were only entered in the open challenge qualifier rounds which were open to entrants other than the top 10 from each country. The winners in these classes became eligible for competition in the Supreme Championship classes. The Supreme Champion was a Border Terrier, named Int. Ch. Larry D'ella Collinetta.
Other End of the Spectrum
The little boy was assured by his mother, as she cut the light off, that everything would be OK and God was right there with him. Five minutes later the little boy shouted from his bedroom, "Mom, I really need somebody with skin." While you are going to read many articles about new and improved techniques and ways of doing things in the "dog business" here at MB-F, there are those occasions that you just need to talk to somebody with skin.
Over the past few years (actually about 30) I have watched us grow in every aspect. However, I still like to think that the best thing about our company is the "personal touch" feeling that we offer. When asked to write an article about what I do, I realized that just saying that I did premium lists hardly seemed sufficient, soooo -- here are a couple of stories you might enjoy.
First, there was the lady who called in and told me that she wanted a "mild shade" of blue for her premium list. I suggested that she send me a sample color. A few days later an envelope arrived with the samples. One piece of material, the lady explained, she had cut from her husband's underwear and the other was toilet tissue. She further explained that she did not want the premium list to be as light as the toilet tissue nor as dark as the underwear. At this point I sent her a color chart and asked her to select what she needed. You guessed it, she picked two colors and wanted lighter than one and darker than the other.
Then there was the gentleman who did his entire premium list in crayola because he was babysitting his grandchildren and crayons were the only writing instruments in the house and he did not want to be late submitting his material. Of course I really loved the gal who mailed in her grocery list asking that it be added to the trophies for Rottweilers. Needless to say, it took a little time to figure out what was going on since there was no phone number and no show indicated.
While these are pretty extreme cases, things do happen and you may feel that you just need "somebody with skin" to help with details, rules, layout or paper and ink. Premium lists can be overwhelming at times, even with all of the aids we try to provide to clubs to make their job easier and faster. And, that's the other end of the spectrum because we are here for you even if it is just to assure you that.......You were right in the first place.
I'll never forget what happened after GREATER ORANGE PARK'S very first show in Green Cove Springs outside Jacksonville, FL. Everything went well at the show, which pleased me as Peg Hohl, Ed King and Gail Cooper were so anxious to do everything right. My problem involved a rental car that was just not running right. Our show the next day was in Ocala, about 80 miles away and, fearing problems, I left after the start of the last Group, leaving Durwood (now deceased) and Dot VanZandt to finish the show.
I gave 'Dur' and our set-up crew (Jerry and Bill) instructions to keep a watch out for me along the side of the road, in case I broke down. Well, halfway to Ocala I lost all power in a very wild and desolate area. I pulled off to the side of the road and, looking around, saw a building on the other side of the road that sold guns and knives. I started toward it to find a phone. As I approached, a man came out and got in a truck and drove off, ignoring my calls. They were closed and it was almost dark. Looking around again I spotted a small filling station (1 pump) and store across a small canal on a side road.
I went there and the lady owner let me use her private phone to call Hertz Road Service. They told me they would have to do some consulting through their system to come up with the best plan to help and to call back in 45 minutes. I started talking to this lady and she asked me a lot of personal questions, "Was I married?", etc. As we talked, two pickup trucks pulled up with a group of camouflaged dressed, longhaired, bearded Florida rednecks, with knives strapped to their sides and guns mounted in back of the trucks. They were frog hunters (although I think they really were 'gator poachers) and needed to stock up on beer, cigarettes, etc. They asked if I needed help and I told them, "Help was on the way."
I decided to go back out to the car to get away from them and wait for 'Dur' to come by. Well, 'Dur' never came by and I figured the truck would still be 30 minutes or so away and went back to the store again to call Hertz. The frog hunters were gone. Hertz had good news - they were sending me a car from Gainesville, but it would take an hour. This lady told me her husband was dead and she and her beautiful daughter ran the store, but it was lonely and scary at times. Well, by then I figured our truck was due by and she told me she would stay open until I got help.
As I got to the road I saw our yellow truck coming with it's running lights on and I started jumping up and down, waving my arms and I was still jumping up and down when it passed me in a cloud of dust. Damn!!! Back to the store. When I went in the lady said she had called her daughter to come meet me and if we hit if off she would give us the store for a wedding gift and we could take care of her. ( I kid you not!) I was in trouble. Then two more trucks pulled up with even rougher looking frog hunters who told me their friends had told them about me and was I sure I didn't need help. Well, as Ollie Hardy would say, "What a fine mess!" I was either going to get married or killed and robbed by frog hunters. I opted to go back to the car and take my chances on the froggers. I locked myself in the car and prayed for Hertz. They came shortly thereafter and I was saved. I often think maybe those froggers were just Good Ol' Boys and they probably were, but they scared me.
Whenever I get frustrated with this business, I also wonder if the daughter was really beautiful.
When I got to the motel, I asked what room Durwood was in and was informed he hadn't arrived yet. After all my problems, I beat him to the hotel. "Wrong Way Dur' had gotten lost, headed to Gainesville and then took I-75 the wrong direction and almost ended up in Georgia!! That was 'Dur', and that's another story.

National Parent Club Canine Health Conference
The AKC Canine Health Foundation, The American Kennel Club and The AKC National Parent Clubs met in St. Louis, November 2-3, in a conference sponsored by the Ralston Purina Company. The entire theme of the conference was dedicated to the study of genetics as related to the health and well-being of dogs.
The Parent Club portion of the program was preceded by a two-day conference of veterinary and other research scientists reviewing their research results in reference to the various Canine Health Foundation funded projects.
We have copies of most of the material discussed and will, in the next several issues of the Newsletter, bring that material to you. It is without doubt the most informative and positive advance in the history of dog health and genetics. We are proud to be able to present some of the results of this conference to you and are very proud to be listed as a Founder of the Canine Health Foundation. We are also deeply interested that each of you as individuals, clubs, superintendents and corporations or companies take part in the success of the foundation by promoting and contributing to the greatest project that has happened in the history of our sport. The research indicates you will not only be doing your dog a favor, but yourself as well. Many of the discoveries being made affect humans as well as dogs. Below is the first excerpt from the program.
When the Board of Directors of The American Kennel Club acted to found the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation, and endow it with one million dollars, it represented the culmination of many years and factors all of which had been directed at supporting research to benefit dogs. AKC itself had contributed millions of dollars to research since 1952, while dog clubs and individual fanciers had contributed untold millions.
The final steps leading to the creation of the AKC Canine Health Foundation began in early 1993. Following a discussion between Dr. Robert Hritzo, then chair of AKC's Board Health and Research Committee, and John Mandeville, then AKC Vice President of Planning, the decision was made for The American Kennel Club to host a conference for scientists doing research in canine genetics. AKC's hosting of such a conference had long been a goal of Dr. Hritzo. This conference, the first Molecular Genetics and Canine Genetic Health Conference, was held in October 1994.
Preparation for the conference revealed two very important facts. First, there were more scientists actively working in the field of canine genetics than might have been thought. Second, there was a clear need for a mechanism to raise money to help fund the important research to be done. As the fancy became aware AKC was going to host a conference for scientists doing canine genetic research, many suggested AKC should take the lead in creating a foundation to support research. In the late summer and early fall of 1994, as the Molecular Genetics and Canine Genetic Health Conference was being finalized, initial work on what was to become the AKC Canine Health Foundation was done.
The 1994 Molecular Genetics and Canine Genetic Health conference was an overwhelming success. The conference made it apparent that the potential for breakthroughs which would offer tremendous benefits for helping breeders deal with genetic problems would be a reality, especially if significant funding could be made available.
In December 1994 the Board of Directors of The American Kennel Club created The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation. Dr. Robert Hritzo was named the Foundation's first president. The American Kennel Club initiated the AKC Canine Health Foundation with a one million dollar endowment. The first Board of Directors was organized and the Foundation's first Executive Director, Deborah A. Lynch, was appointed in mid 1995.
The foundation was created to better focus and facilitate more research to benefit dogs, to better identify research topics and to provide dog clubs and fanciers with support in their efforts to improve the health of their dogs. Additionally, the Foundation was created so that the scientific community would know that a regular source of funding was available.
In its less than three years in existence, The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation has done a remarkable job. The support of dog clubs and fanciers has been extraordinary. The AKC makes annual contributions to the Foundation for research and administration. Already the scientific community looks to the Foundation as a primary source of funding. Everyone who is seriously committed to the welfare of purebred dogs should redouble their efforts on behalf of the Foundation. If the Foundation's first three years are an indication of the future, the hopes of The American Kennel Club in creating it will certainly be fulfilled.
The mission of the AKC Canine Health Foundation is to develop significant resources for basic and applied health programs with emphasis on canine genetics to improve the quality of life for dogs and their owners.
The AKC Canine Health Foundation will achieve the following goals:
* To help dogs live longer, healthier lives.
* To respect the dedication and interest of dog clubs, breeders and owners in canine health and continuously seek ways to involve them in the work of the Foundation.
* To identify health issues of concern to dog owners and breeders.
* To identify and sponsor research and education programs, with particular emphasis on canine genetics, that:
~ Meet the highest scientific and educational standards.
~ Have the greatest potential for advancing the health of dogs.
~ Have expectations for producing materials and applications that are reasonable and affordable for breeders and owners.
* To seek ways to integrate the observations and knowledge of dog owners, breeders, veterinarians and other scientists for the purpose of advancing the health of dogs.
* To responsibly monitor grantees and make the results of their work available for public use through publication in scientific journals, and through sharing and dissemination of information and education with dog owners, breeders and veterinarians.
* To raise endowment funds for the Foundation's programmatic purposes and to invest these funds for both growth of principal and income adequate to advance the Foundation's purposes.

Domaine Robert Chevillon
Vintage: 2012
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Region: Burgundy
There are few more famous wine regions in the world than Burgundy, and this special area has given much to raise the profile of fine French wines around the world. Although most commonly associated with excellent quality red wines made with the Pinot Noir varietal, this region is home to several red and white varietals and produces and impressive range of wines, from still to sparkling, dry to sweet, full bodied and aged, and from to light and drinkable. The region of Burgundy has been producing excellent wines for centuries, with much evidence to suggest that the ancient Gauls were the first to cultivate the native vines which flourish here in the warm summers, and on the excellent soil fed by local rivers. This type of heritage has led to a wine industry highly unique, deeply traditional, and with an exquisite reputation to uphold.
Country: France
France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.

Saturday, I went shopping for a new camera. I purchased my last one at Target. I got on the bus, and I went up to the shopping center at Harlem Avenue, and Irving Park Avenue in Chicago, right next to Norridge. I haven't been up there in a while, so I was surprised when I noticed that a new "Disney Store" will be going in that Mall.
I have been thinking about looking for a job. I haven't worked in 40 years. I have been very fortunate, that my livelihood has not depended on me working. My husband has always made enough money to make our lives comfortable. My boys are 39, and 35, and my grandson is now 13. I don't need to work, but I want to.
So should I put in an application at a Disney Store? What do you think?
Has anyone ever worked in a Disney Store?
I am just thinking out loud here folks.

Clouds & Water quilt top
- With 10 Comments
- On 16 Sep | '2010
My mother asked me to make her another quilt and I just finished up the top. She's been collecting fabric with clouds and water on it for awhile and she wanted them all in one quilt. I wanted to put something together that unified all the fabrics and still had a modern, calm feel to it. I think I did all right! The brown portions have piecing of slightly difference browns and I really like that…Done because I was working with fabric I have, but I think that it subtly adds interest and texture.
I'm headed home to New Hampshire for a long weekend today. See you all next week and enjoy your weekends!

The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for Governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
1) Field of the Invention
The invention in general relates to MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) devices and more particularly to a MEMS device utilized in the explosive train to set off a main charge of a munitions round.
2) Description of the Related Art
A fuze is a device designed to set off an explosive train in a munitions round such as a mortar round, artillery shell or rocket warhead, by way of example. In general, three components of the fuze: the explosive, the initiator and safety locks, have been fabricated individually and then assembled in a package.
The safety components are mechanical devices built from multiple machined parts and assembled into complex intricate mechanisms. Although the initiator has been miniaturized, it is still a separate part of the fuze. The explosive has always been formed apart from all other parts and then carefully assembled with the other components to make a functional fuze.
It is an object of the invention to provide a MEMS assembly in which is integrated all of the components parts of a fuze.
A MEMS microdetonator/initiator arrangement for a MEMS fuze in accordance with the invention includes a bottom substrate layer, a top device layer and an intermediate oxide layer joining the top and bottom layers. A slider is defined in the device layer and has an end portion, with the portion of slider adjacent to the end being devoid of any underlying oxide layer so as to permit movement thereof relative to the substrate layer. A slider drive is operable to move the slider from an initial position to a final position. A walled chamber is defined in the substrate layer and is connected to the enlarged end portion of the slider by the oxide layer. The substrate layer adjacent the walled chamber is removed to allow movement of the walled chamber.
The walled chamber has a hollow interior extending to the underside of the enlarged end portion of the slider, with a microdetonator being positioned within the hollow interior of the walled chamber. The substrate layer includes a void adjacent the walled chamber to allow movement of the walled chamber into the void when the slider is moved by the drive to the final position. An initiator is positioned so that when the slider is in the final position, the initiator, when supplied with current, is operable to initiate the microdetonator.
In the drawings, which are not necessarily to scale, like or corresponding parts are denoted by like or corresponding reference numerals.
The components of the MEMS apparatus described herein may be formed by a DRIE (deep reactive ion etching) process that removes unwanted portions of device layer 30. The DRIE process is a well-developed micromachining process used extensively with silicon based MEMS devices. For this reason, in an exemplary embodiment, silicon is a material for the MEMS fuze assembly of the present invention, although other materials are possible.
One embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in
The slider 12 is supported by spring sets 38 and 40 connected to respective anchors 42 and 44, and is mechanically moved by driver 46, which may be a thermoelectric actuator. Slider 12 is prevented from movement until certain predetermined conditions are met. More particularly, locking arms 48 and 50 of locks 34 and 36 are in interlocking engagement and prevent movement of slider 12 until withdrawn. Withdrawal of locking arm 48 may occur upon attainment of a certain axial acceleration force and withdrawal of locking arm 50 may occur upon attainment of a certain centrifugal acceleration.
Slider 12 includes an end portion 52, which, by way of example, is enlarged relative to the remaining portion of slider 12. Enlarged end portion 52 includes a notch 54. The microdetonator 10 may be seen through the notch 54, as well as a wall 56 of the container for the microdetonator 10. Initiator 18 includes initiator arms 58 and 60 connected to respective anchors 62 and 64. The ends of initiator arms 58 and 60 are connected by a thin section 65 of semiconductor such that when a voltage is applied to one of the anchors, current through the thin section 65 will generate sufficient heat to initiate microdetonator 10.
To operate as a MEMS fuze, the thin portion of slider 12, as well as springs and other components must be free to move and therefore must be devoid of any underlying silicon dioxide insulating layer 28 (
After the munitions round has been fired and the locking arms 48 and 50 disengaged, driver 46 will move slider 12 to the final position illustrated in
As illustrated in
Thin etched sections 82 and 84 extending all the way through the substrate 68 ensure that the walled chamber 74 is free to move relative to substrate 68 (a similar thin section is also etched at the unseen back of chamber 74). Chamber 74 remains connected to enlarged end portion 52 by virtue of the oxide layer 72 and may move with it. After formation of chamber 74, microdetonator 10 is formed or placed within hollow interior 76, as seen in
The bottom surface 92 of base layer 88 is etched upward to a degree to form a second cavity 96 that leaves a thin membrane 98 at the top surface 90. The secondary lead (not illustrated) is positioned directly below cavity 96. When slider 12 and microdetonator 10 are in a final position for initiation and the microdetonator 10 explodes, it will rupture thin membrane 98 and propel its fragments down into the secondary lead to initiate it, which then initiates the main charge (not illustrated).
It will be understood that many additional changes in the details, materials, steps and arrangement of parts, which have been herein described and illustrated in order to explain the nature of the invention, may be made by those skilled in the art within the principle and scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.
Finally, any numerical parameters set forth in the specification and attached claims are approximations (for example, by using the term "about") that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present invention. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding.

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Am I Normal?, Love and Sex, Sex, Infidelity, Life News
Help! I've been married for nearly 25 years, and I can't stop obsessing over my wife's past sexual history.
When we first started seeing each other, she was married, I was married and we were both having affairs with other people. She told me in very exquisite detail about many — if not all — of her sexual adventures (many of them extramarital with married men). She went into great detail about how affairs started, when, where, the type of sex performed (oral/anal) with each man. Her sexual experience was far greater than mine.
I have asked her in recent months to recount what she told me 25 years ago about her sexual experiences. Not only will she not discuss it and gets angry about it, she now claims that she never did any of those things. Well, of course, I have some proof that she did many.
My question is why can't I stop obsessing over her past sexual conquests (and that's what they were — she seduced primarily married men), and why is she now denying and refusing to discuss her past?
I feel for your wife, man. You're interrogating her about her sexual past after a quarter-century of marriage. There should be a statute of limitations on such things.
There must be a reason why this suddenly matters to you now. M. Gary Neuman, a therapist and author of "Connect to Love," senses "some guilt or fear of the 'what goes around comes around' karma." He says, "Maybe you now feel doomed to struggle since this relationship began through inappropriate behavior," and adds: "It's never too late to apologize to those you may have hurt in the past. Do what you need to in order to feel freer moving forward and allowing yourself to enjoy your marriage to the max."
Listen to the man. He's been on "Oprah," yo.
Therapist Charles Foster, co-author of "I Love You but I Don't Trust You," says there are a couple of possible interpretations of what's going on here. It could be that "after 25 years, their sex lives — so clearly in need of spicing up from the beginning — are developing rigor mortis, and his re-opening this can of worms is the best way he knows how to wake things up in bed." Or maybe "for some reason, trust issues have reared their ugly head."
Is your wife giving you new reason to mistrust her — based on her current behavior, as opposed to things she did when she was a young seductress? If not, this might be less about your wife's actual trustworthiness than obsessive thinking.
Foster has little patience for this: "Come on, what is it you really want? Better sex? More closeness? More trust? Any of these could make you happy," he says. "But satisfying your obsession will only stimulate the very itch that's making you miserable." Instead, he suggests that you "focus on your real needs, and work with your partner to get them met, and keep telling yourself that your obsession is just a sinkhole of misery."
On a similar note, Diana Kirschner, author of "Sealing the Deal: The Love Mentor's Guide to Lasting Love," suggests that you start by simply listening to each other: Sit down and give each other 10 minutes to talk uninterrupted about whatever is on your mind. Instead of talking about past exploits, try talking about "sexual longings or fantasies you have right now and especially how you would like to act them out with each other." She says, "Build a whole new relationship now that is so satisfying, the past just doesn't matter."

Sex questions so often boil down to the simple, pleading query of, "Am I normal?" Let Tracy Clark-Flory investigate your personal version of this universal concern. By talking to the world's leading experts, she will not only explain where individual readers fall on the spectrum of sexual behavior but
also dismantle the notion of "normal."

5.0 out of 5 stars charming introduction into art for youngsters,
This book serves more than one purpose. It is a short, but entertaining read for a child or for a parent to read to their children. The story is about Marie, a young girl in France who is loved by her poor, but hard-working parents. They work long hours to save money to send her to ballet school - as it is her dream to become the world's most famous ballerina.
When her father becomes ill and can no longer afford to pay for her classes, the famous artist Edgar Degas offers to pay her for modeling for him. He is mean, short-tempered and impatient with Marie, making her hold poses for hours until her neck aches.
One night, however, she finds out just a little of what is under the surface of Degas' rough exterior and feels sorry for him, giving him her long hair ribbon.
Even her modeling pay cannot sustain the cost of her classes, so she must give up her dream. Later, she and her parents receive an invitation to a gallery showing of Degas' work - the center piece is the only sculpture of his ever displayed during his lifetime - it is of Marie - and unlike other statues, hers is wearing a tutu and the beautiful hair ribbon she gave him.
The story is not only entertaining, but it tells children that while some people may act mean or rude, it may be because they are hurting on the inside - and extending friendship to someone who behaves in such a manner can truly make a difference in their life and in yours.
The story is peppered with illustrations of Marie and her family, as well as photos of Degas' paintings and of course, his famous sculpture. Information about the names of the paintings and the museums where they are displayed is also cited at the end of the book.
This doesn't have to be just a book for girls - even young boys will see a universal truth - we can always have dreams and even though they may not come true the way we envisioned them, we never know what wonderful surprises are around the corner.
4.0 out of 5 stars Charming little book with lovely illustrations,
Lynne P. Caldwell (Dadeville, AL USA) - See all my reviews
This is the story of Marie van Goethen, a young dancer at the Paris Opera Ballet School who posed for Edgar Degas (1824-1917). He created the sculpture, "The Little Dancer" based on Marie's likeness. This was the only Degas sculpture to be exhibited during his lifetime. This charming figure was wearing a tutu and a wig.
The illustrations in this children's book are beautiful and even some of Degas' own paintings are included. I wish that more of Degas' life had been included in this story. I also feel that this book would have been perfect if more of his paintings were displayed with descriptions of each work of art.
This book is a good introduction to Degas and should be targeted towards lower elementary students.
5.0 out of 5 stars This book connects real life with art,
H. J. Hill (Texas) - See all my reviews
This is a wonderful book that helps children (and adults) see the reality that lies behind art. My daughter was first introduced to this book at the age of 8. Now she notices the "Little Dancer" every time she sees it. Knowing the background of both Degas and his young dancer has made the art itself more interesting.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous integrated arts book!,
By A Customer
This book teaches not only about the famous French impressionist Degas, but also would be enjoyed by any child who loves dance. It documents the true story of Degas' dancer paintings as well as one little girl's love for ballet. It's equally inspirational and educational. Perfect for the classroom or the home!
4.0 out of 5 stars Degas and the little dancer,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Degas and the Little Dancer (Paperback)
I was explaining to my grandchildren that after seeing the 14 yr old dancer , I had now seen her 4 times, and showed them my pictures of her with this story as back ground.
5.0 out of 5 stars A moving story,
Daniel C. Koboldt "Travllight" (Creve Coeur, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This is not only a book for children, but also a moving tale illustrating the life of Degas. It is enough to bring tears to the eyes of any lover of Degas art.

Full detailed profile on Inez Salinger Played by Jessica Leccia on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Jessica Leccia
Birthday: January 8 1976
Back in Llanview, Viki stands before the crowd at The Palace for Tea and Todd's vow renewal. Viki officiates the ceremony and repronounces Todd and Tea husband and wife. Todd asks everyone to stick around for a big surprise and refuses to tell Tea what it is. Dorian and Langston arrive with well wishes, as do John and Natalie. Todd makes a crack about Starr being better off without Cole. Natalie sees Vivian and privately asks her to put a rush on the paternity results. Vivian can't. Natalie rushes John away when he approaches claiming to know all about the test. Across the room, Echo tells Clint she's going to tell Rex the truth tonight. Clint drags her away, as Viki wonders where Echo went. Rex and Kelly appear. He's looking for Echo. Viki promises to keep an eye out for Echo. When Rex walks away, Charlie warns Viki whoever Rex's father turns out to be will have an effect on a lot of people. In another area, Inez pulls Bo away from Nora and fills him in on Eddie. Bo warns James, Ford and Nate that he'll be paying their father a visit tomorrow. Ford is upset but Inez refuses to let Eddie hurt her sons again. Inez walks Bo back to his table. When he leaves to get more drinks, Nora warns Inez that Bo helps everyone. She shouldn't read anything more into it! Close by, Darren is offended that Matthew knew about Greg but he didn't. Destiny reminds Darren that this isn't about him then briefly talks to Shaun about what Greg did to them.
In their kitchen, Ford assures James they'll get the fifty grand in order to get rid of their father. Eddie joins them and jokes about wanting to bond. Eddie took care of his boys when they were little and says, "Now you're going to take care of me." As they argue, Eddie appears sick and rushes to the bathroom. When Inez and Nate arrive, James and Ford try to get rid of them. It's too late. Eddie reappears, sees Inez and tells Ford, "Ask the whore in." Inez confronts him and slaps Eddie when he looks at Nate and accuses her of robbing the cradle. "Nate is our son!" she screams. Eddie rants about Inez always giving her boys wuss names then denies he's Nate's father. Inez orders her kids to come with her and warns Eddie not to try to stop them. He'll regret it! James and Ford push Inez and Nate out into the hall. Ford warns Inez to stay away. She plans to talk to Bo but refuses to stop protecting her boys!
Inez enters Bo's office with some cookies as her way to thank him for helping James. Nora is clearly irritated as she and Bo try a cookie. Tea, Todd and Dani arrive. Nora rushes to greet Tea, while Todd stares at Inez, who's brushing cookie crumbs off of Bo's shirt! After Tea insists on taking Cole's case, Todd invites them all to their party. Before they leave, Todd privately tells Nora, "Bo's assistant really knows how to make her way around a desk." He suggests Nora find Inez a date to the party. Later, Bo pulls Nora away, who is pushing for Inez to invite Clint to the party! Inez watches as Bo and Nora practice their dancing.
Bo calls Inez into his office. He needs to talk about her son. While Bo's happy James saved Starr, if he doesn't tell the truth about Cole's whereabouts he'll be charged. Inez can't afford to have another son in trouble and admits that Ford was beaten and refuses to tell anyone who attacked him.
Outside Bo's office, Rex appears behind Clint and asks, "Spying on your brother?" Clint doesn't need to spy on Bo. He reminds Rex that Bo already stole his wife and asks, "What else could he do to me." Clint stops Inez on her way out. She has something to do on her own. After she leaves, Rex says, "Looks like she blew you off, Old Man." Rex heads toward Bo's office. Clint takes another call from Echo and leaves. Rex approaches Bo. He needs to talk about his father. Rex expresses how he was going to stop looking for him but now he can't.
James visits Ford at the hospital. Over talk of James saving Starr, Ford wonders what James expects from Starr in return. James only wants Starr to be happy. Ford thinks if Cole goes to jail, James could have Starr. Why is James helping Cole? James doesn't want Cole to go to jail. Ford reminds James that he could do time too for helping Cole. James brings up Ford's condition and asks, "Who did this to you?" Just as Ford swears him to secrecy, Inez appears and warns James to go make things right with Bo now. "Please James," Inez begs. "Don't end up like your father." After James leaves, Ford thanks Inez for convincing James to do the right thing. She asks about Ford's beating but agrees to leave it alone. As Ford leaves his room, he overhears Jessica tell Brody that she hopes her baby isn't Ford's.
Inez and Clint arrive at the hospital. Ford looks at Clint, admits he took a random beating but doesn't rat Clint out. Ford distracts them with talk of James and Hannah. Inez calls Bo who promises to send someone to Marty's. Later, Brody appears to report that James wasn't at Marty's house. He's officially missing. Clint holds Inez who cries, "If the kids are right, she kidnapped Starr and her baby. What if she hurts James too?"
Bo holds a press conference at the Llanview PD. James, Nate and Ford stand by listening as Bo fills the press in on the kidnapping. Cole appears and exchanges glares with James. After the conference ends, Cole grabs James and says, "Starr and Hope would be safe right now if it weren't for you!" Cole brings up their scheme to hide Dani. "I'm sorry, Cole," James cries. "I'm sorry." Cole punches James who returns the gesture! Bo holds Cole back as Nate takes the blame for getting Starr involved. Cole wants charges pressed against James. Bo pulls Cole aside and urges him to go be with Marty. Bo then tells James he's free to go. James promises Nate… If Starr comes home safely, he'll stop trying to make her love him back. When Brody arrives, Ford asks after the baby. Brody thought Ford didn't care. Ford admits the kidnapping, which involves baby Hope, put things into perspective for him. Brody orders Ford to put Jessica's baby out of his mind permanently then storms off. As Inez thanks Bo for not coming down on James, Ford spots Clint and thanks him for getting his job back. Ford will never forget what Clint did for him. Clint agrees and says, "There are some things you'll never forget."
A girl approaches Ford at Rodi's. He assures her there's no chance of him returning to Llanview U. "Maybe there is," Inez interrupts. As Ford snaps at his mother, Echo approaches Inez. They appear familiar to each other. Echo sees Charlie and runs off. Inez begs Ford to let her make things up to him and says, "Clint Buchanan… He's offered to help you." After what Clint did for James, Ford remarks, "The guy's a regular Santa Claus." He reminds Inez that there's no such thing as a free lunch and leaves.
At the station, John tells Marty that Eli is alive. John wants to protect her, Cole and Hannah. Marty rushes off wanting to get to Hannah. Nate is brought in. John admits Dani's in danger. Eli's alive. Inez arrives and convinces Nate to take John to Dani. After John and Nate leave, Inez gets a call from Clint and agrees to another date.
