Golden aggressive to other dogs in our family
My beautiful little golden girl started attacking the other dogs in our family when she was 6 months old.she has AKC obedience awards and is trained. We have worked with a behaviorist too with no improvement.she will viciously attack over a treat, another dog being petted or toys. She goes for the face and will not back down. Our other dogs are Danes. 2 are very scared of her and the other is a 10 yr old who has always ignored Evie .
I have read all the books and am at my wits end. She is wonderful with people both children and adult. She is from a very reputable breeder.i got a golden for all the things she is, I had no idea this would happen. I have always had a multiple dog household with no issues, everyone always knew their place.
What do I do? We have been unable to stop these attacks. I never know when they will happen. She is now 21 months. I have been working on this for months and I have a ton of experience with dogs, just never this problem
I'm so sorry to hear this. It is never easy to see this happen. I can't imagine what your family must feel like.
May I ask what you've tried so far, what you've read and who you've seen? It will help us advise you better if we know of any other resources you might want to explore.
Have you had the opportunity to speak with a veterinarian who specializes in behaviour or an actual veterinary behaviourist? If so, what tests have they run, if any?

Aggressive to family dogs
She has been to an animal behaviorist here in town, who helped with some issues, like when I took here to class or on a walk, she would come in and go after which ever dog she could find.
I have spoken with my vet, while she hasn't done tests, her exam was normal. Her behavior with people is incredible. I love this dog for so many reasons.
I have read several training books including the Cesar Milan books. I think Eve looks at me as pack leader, but she looks at my husband more like a possession. She gets very upset when he pets another dog, gives another dog a treat. I had Evie before we got married and I told him he has to maintain the pack order but he doesn't really get it. She loves to sit on his lap and mine and when another dog walks by she'll lift her lip at them. I tell him to push her off, but mostly he doesn't.
Evie will be 2 in a few months, this has been going on since she was 6 monthts old. We go weeks without an episode but then there will be a flurry of them. This weekend, we were out of town and she went after my very old dane girl, who now has a few lacerations.
This started with my male, who would always try and take her toys. In training classes there were always dogs who would maul her in puppy play time.Then I took her to the dog park to run off some energy. She has no interest in the other dogs, only the people. But big dogs there would always jump her so I stopped taking her.
I am at a loss, I've never dealt with this before and don't know what to do.
For starters, I suggest you keep her separate. The habit of aggression or dominance is hard to break but you start by prevention.
The second is to bring in a behavior specialist and have them evaulate everyone. This is not a problem that can be diagnosed on the Internet or at a class.
Good luck.

Keep working with a veterinary behaviorist. I'd also potentially get away from Cesar Milan books. The guy might be personally successful, but his methods are not based in dog behavioral science. Some of his methods might be counterproductive.

I am attaching the link to help you find a Certified Veterinary Behaviorist. They are not a dime a dozen and will have more specialized training than others. Any trainer can call themselves a behaviorist, if I were in your shoes, I would be getting a second opinion and I would be looking for the very best person I could find. I don't know what part of Wisconsin you are located in but there are board certified doctors in Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois and Indiana so hopefully you can find someone to see you soon.
Previous posters are correct, you need help from someone who can see your dog in person. I do have a question, did the behaviorist who you have already seen not make any suggestions about managing her?
She shouldn't be allowed up on the furniture, up on your laps, anything that might trigger an incident should be removed (toys, treats, bones) and if that doesn't help she needs to be gated, crated or Xpenned, so that she isn't a danger to your other dogs until you can get this under control. If you have to go out of town again, please board her so that she doesn't hurt your other dogs. Do you have her dragging a leash in the house so that you have a way to pull her off if she goes after one of the other dogs?
Until you can get to the new Behaviorist, you might look up the protocol of "Nothing In Life is Free." I won't pretend that I have much to offer, but this might be a good start until you can get professional help.

Ok thanks everyone. I did use a certified behavior specialist. He s CPDT-ka graduate of animal behavior college and certified by professional dog trainers council. He helped a lot with one issue. But she's been going up the ladder to my oldest dog who is not well anyway. The other two say away from her you just ever know what little thing will set her off.
It's great that you used a CPDT and it sounds like you got some good advice.
I would also suggest a vet behaviourist as described above and definitely to stay away from Dog Whisperer stuff and others suggesting similar training. Dominance theory as a training methodology is highly controversial to say the least. What you might want to read instead are things like Grisha Stewart and Leslie McDevitt if you're interested in books which focus on behaviour science.
May I add to this that you actually have one of the most famous Dog Behaviour experts around, Dr. Patricial McConnell - Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist. Highly recommended.
Please come back and let us know how things are going.

I sympathize greatly because I'm going through some of this myself. I have a new dog who turns put to be woefully under socialized and as a result becomes aggressive with any dog that seems afraid of her. My male has had issues with resource guarding and has developed a dislike of huskies. My trainer is very good with multiple dog households and that experience is proving invaluable.
My first recommendation is that when you are not home to keep the aggressive dog where she can't reach the others. And whenever toys or treats are being given or played with. Your other dogs should be able to live and eat without fear of being attacked.
Good luck. Hope you come back and let us know how things are going.

Hi all, I will look into a behavior specialist, closest one is three hours away. Also I think the idea of no laps and no furniture is a great idea. I think a lot is jealousy. We are going out of town in a couple of weeks and I think I will board her so my pet sitter doesn't have to deal with this. We both love this girl- she was everything I hoped she'd be, except for this. She loves people and has no interest in playing with other dogs, mine or otherwise. Will also read the books suggested.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says the best way of stopping Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is if he misses the game with injury!
Mourinho gave nothing away on how Chelsea would attempt to stop Suarez, but joked he hoped the former Ajax man would not be available to play at Stamford Bridge.
"Maybe Suarez (against Manchester City) got a little injury," Mourinho said.
"I'm not asking for a big injury. A little injury to stop him playing for four days.
"Every game is hard. The difference is some teams are bigger. Bigger name, bigger impact: Man City-Liverpool, Chelsea-Liverpool, Chelsea-Arsenal."

An entertaining memoir about
the golden age of local media
I have a stack of books at my beside table that keeps getting higher, no matter how I chip away at it. Im making progress, however, and just recently finished reading Yesterdays News (DRC Publishing), a memoir by Nix Wadden of life in the golden days of Newfoundland media.
Waddens book spans events that happened in the 1950s and 60s, so he was ahead of my time (though only slightly). However, I recognize many of the names and was fascinated to read personality glimpses of people like Edsel Bonnell, Harry Brown, Ray Simmons, Sylvia Wigh, Don Jamieson, Omar Blondahl, and others, many at the dawn of their careers.
It surprises me that many of the younger generation know little or nothing of that exciting era, so perhaps this memoir will help to shed a little light on some dramatic moments in Newfoundland's history, Wadden said, in an email exchange. And there a few fun stories in it as well.
The many personal anecdotes in this book are entertaining, but there is more than that in Yesterdays News. Its also an important firsthand account of an era that is not well documented. The media back then was a humble enterprise that spent precious little time talking about itself; most print stories didnt even have bylines and there was no discussion about the story behind the story (with the notable exception of Ray Guy).
Waddens book is especially important because of his diverse experience with local media in print, radio and TV. He worked at Harveys News Bulletin, The Daily News, VOCM and CJON and had a front-row seat to important moments in Newfoundland history, including Confederation with Canada, the IWA loggers strike, the misadventures of the Smallwood government, and more.
Wadden was the first full-time news reporter with VOCM News, which for many years contracted out its news programming to Harveys News Bulletin. Wadden offers entertaining back stories about the rivalry between VOCM and CJON Radio. VOCM, for example, started its hourly newscast at five minutes to the hour, to beat the competition to the punch and be first with the news (a tactic that NTV deploys today, by starting its newscast slightly earlier than CBC).
Wadden was a contributor to the Newfoundland Weekly, which he described as an alternative newspaper designed to compete, albeit on a small scale, with major dailies, proving that some things in this city never change. Heres an excerpt from a Town Crier column Wadden wrote for the paper:
Is this town big enough to have two weekly papers? This question greeted the advent of The Newfoundland Weekly last December (1957) and is still being debated over morning coffee at McMurdos. Many are surprised to see the Weekly has lasted so long. Why has it? We suggest the answer lies in the present journalistic situation in Newfoundland. The people need another voice!
Do you know the The Telegrams editorials are practically all written by the same person who writes its daily column: Harold Horwood? Did you know The Daily News editorials are all written by the same person who writes its daily column: Albert Perlin? Everyone knows The Sunday Herald is owned and operated by CJON, although its editorials and the bulk of its story material are written by editor Arch Sullivan
The book is rife with anecdotes like this, featuring people and media outlets I recognize, but from an era I didnt witness. For example, I liked his candid description of reporter Bob Moss, someone Ive never met but whose name I remember from the Gander Beacon:
As time went on, I learned to reassess my judgment about Bob Moss whom, through my initial dealings with him, I had caustically dismissed as the rolling Moss who gathers no news. This was an unkind, and highly politically incorrect, reference to his ambling gait due, if I recall correctly, to a onetime leg injury. Bob, in fact, developed later into a highly effective news digger, sniffing out news stories that others couldnt see. He became a constant burr in the side of unwary politicians and business leaders who mistook his outharbour manner of speaking for lack of intelligence. He had no fear of the high and mighty, and doggedly pursued the substance of a story with admirable passion and conviction.
Now thats my kind of reporter.
There are humourous recollections, too. Wadden writes of one story from 1958, involving an anonymous local businessman, who got carried away during New Years celebrations. The man was well into his cups, riding a horse and sleigh, when he decided to check out the action at the Old Mill on Brookfield Road. However, thinking that his horse needed warmth as well or possibly a drink he led the animal, sleigh and all, right inside the club, resulting in a disturbance that ended in fisticuffs.
There is more, so much more, to recommend this book, especially if you have an interest in local media. And there is a story you will NOT find in the book, which is presented below, exclusively for readers of this blog. Wadden mentioned that he had worked at CJON with both my father, Ken, and uncle, Howie. So I asked if he might come up with a brief recollection about one of them, for inclusion in this entry. He choose to write about Howie.
The Howie I Knew My first image of Howie Meeker, when memory lures me back to those early years at CJON, is of a far from svelte 30-something guy doing strenuous exercise in a make shift studio close by our newsroom. For a one time hockey great with the mighty Maple Leafs, he was not in the best of shape, little wedges of excess fat showing through a rumpled gym suit. Puffing and grunting like a TV wrestler, he manfully described all the twists and turns he performed for the benefit of would be phys ed devotees raptly watching from their cozy living rooms. Camera coverage was elementary - maybe strictly remote for all I know - but enough basic instruction got through to keep the Howie Meeker fitness show on the air for a few seasons. The lessons worked, for Howie, anyway, as muscles firmed up and energy levels revived the hot pace he seemed to set for himself, whatever tasks he undertook. His versatility was a wonder to behold, as within the decade or two when he lived in Newfoundland, he was willing to tackle anything. One of his first ventures in St. John's was the launching of a sporting goods store on Harvey Road. People still remember his great success in introducing the Jolly Jumper to let kids have fun in harness while their mothers got a welcome break from hands on supervision. Later on he branched out into building bowling alleys, a line of work hearkening back to his youthful success as a five pin bowling champion. His primary role in his Newfoundland debut was as a hockey coach, taking over the reins of the Guards hockey club, eager to topple the vaunted St. Bon's teams, which had dominated the local hockey scene for decades. His NHL-gained expertise had immediate impact, developing Guards squads as solid contenders, mainly by focusing on aggressive body contact. The change in tactics aroused more than its share of controversy, but despite concerns about brawn over brain techniques, Howie earned widespread respect among the hockey fraternity. Interestingly enough, he evolved in later years into a highly successful hockey school organizer, passionately advocating the training of younger players in basic hockey skills rather than purely physical play. One of his hockey skills work books, which years later I joined a long lineup to get him to autograph, became a player's bible for my son. As a sports broadcaster at CJON, Howie was characteristically outspoken, but focused his commentaries on play making skills and faux pas, and showed himself as always fair minded. He had a particular knack for spotting and graphically describing key plays and make or break strategies of the opposing teams. Whether on the job or off, he loved a good argument without getting into personalities. As a result, he won many friends and admirers, building a reputation that propelled him eventually into the big time of CBC hockey commentator. Throughout his career, his outstanding trait has been his enthusiasm, the sheer joy which he expressed in any situation in which he found himself. That, at least, is how he stands out in my memory. A contentious and competitive individual whose career I have followed with much interest - and someone I liked very much.
One other note. Wadden has a niece who also became quite active in media: Marie Wadden has enjoyed a distinguished career as both a journalist with CBC and an author.

An adult industry star claims that he took part in a ménage a trois with Kim Kardashian in 2001.
Adult film star Julian St. Jox told news outlets that he met the reality TV star while attending a swingers party in Los Angeles.
"It was around 11:30 p.m. when Kim showed up with a black male," St. Jox told reporters.
At the time Kim was married to her first husband, record producer Damon Thomas. However, sources did not reveal if he was her date that night.
St. Jox said the actual three-way happened at the Wyndham Hotel in Culver City.
"As soon as Kim walked in, everyone was looking," he said. "She wasn't known at the time at all, not like today, but for everyone who frequented these parties, she was interesting because she was a new face."
The adult star said that his date, porn star Emily Ann was so captured by Kim's beauty that she eagerly propositioned her. He said that this eventually led to some dirty dancing between the two.

May/June 2004
There has been a growing discussion recently about coverage of HIV/AIDS by the U.S. news media. Because journalists have reported increasing difficulty in getting their media organizations to run HIV/AIDS stories, questions naturally arise about whether news outlets are expressing some sort of "AIDS fatigue." Coverage of the issue -- or the lack of it -- can be seen as a key indication of how prominent HIV/AIDS is in the realm of public information and opinion.
The Kaiser Family Foundation, in conjunction with Princeton Survey Research Associates, recently conducted an analysis of HIV/AIDS media coverage over the 22-year period from 1981 through 2002. Their survey sampled more than 9,000 news stories from major U.S. print and broadcast sources, including national publications and TV networks, as well as major regional papers in areas particularly hard hit by the epidemic (Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami). The Kaiser report also referenced polls that asked people to name the most urgent health problem facing the nation. In October 1987, 68% said HIV/AIDS; by June 2002, that number had fallen to 17%. Although the report acknowledges the difficulty of measuring a cause-effect relationship between media coverage and public perception, it does note that in October 2003, 73% of the U.S. public said most of the information they get about HIV and AIDS comes from the media.
The following are major highlights of the Kaiser study:
Populations most affected by the epidemic in the U.S. did not receive the coverage equal to the high impact of AIDS on their lives, according to the study. In the 22-year period, only 3% of stories were about minorities, 3% about teenagers and young adults, and 2% about women. In the study's analysis of the "face of AIDS" as seen on television news, the most frequently portrayed population was healthcare professionals (20% of stories). Gay men appeared in 3% of the stories, teens and young adults in 3%, communities of color in 1% and women in 1%.
The Kaiser Foundation concluded that the most disturbing trend is the decrease in stories with an education component, particularly in light of the fact that as recently as 2000, four in ten Americans still thought HIV could be transmitted through kissing, one in five believed it could be transmitted through sharing a drinking glass and one in six thought it was possible to be infected by coming into contact with a toilet seat.
And keep at it, even if you don't get a response right away. Recently, we received a request from the Oprah Winfrey show to find people willing to appear on an episode about the state of HIV/AIDS in the U.S. today. When I spoke to a prominent HIV-positive activist about this, she was delighted. She said she and many others had been working on producers for a long time to get them to do a show specifically about domestic HIV/AIDS. With the right approach and persistence, it works.

King Kai's planet
this wiki
King Kai's planet (界王界, Kaiōkai)[1] is a planet located in the Other World. It is home to King Kai, ruler of the North Galaxy, as well as to King Kai's pets: Bubbles and Gregory. Even though the planet is relatively small, it has gravity that is 10 times that of Earth's, allowing for more intense training (clearly seen through Goku's struggle to even stand up). In addition, the planet carries apple trees, of which the apples in question, when dropped, would burrow down into the ground.
After Goku sacrifices himself for Piccolo to kill Raditz, he is taken to the Check-In Station by Kami. Kami asks King Yemma to allow Goku to travel down the Snake Way and train with the legendary King Kai, so that he will be prepared to battle the Saiyans when they arrive on Earth in one year. King Yemma accepts and Goku spends many months running on Snake road, heading toward the planet. Upon arrival, Goku's skills are put to the test, he was assigned to catch Bubbles (which proved a daunting task considering the gravity) and to hit Gregory with a hammer (which was fairly hard to hold let alone swing). He passes these tests and is permitted to receive King Kai's training. In the next few months, Goku masters the Kaio-ken technique and the deadly Spirit Bomb, moves that will be essential in his battle against the Saiyans. Afterwards, the fallen Z Fighters: Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo are given permission to keep their bodies, and travel down Snake Way to receive training with King Kai while their friends are dealing with Frieza on the planet Namek. Goku later visits the planet during the ten day wait for the Cell Games to ask for directions to New Namek, and was also summoned by King Kai to deal with a Super Saiyan that destroyed the South Galaxy.
The next time the planet is actually visited in the main story is when Goku teleports Cell to it as he is about to self-destruct. This kills King Kai, Bubbles, Gregory, and even Goku. Cell manages to survive, and returns to Earth, only to be finally killed by Gohan. King Kai, his pets, and Goku then all travel to Grand Kai's planet. Due to Cell's self-destruction (and thus King Kai's death), the space pirate Bojack and his gang of Galaxy Soldiers were unleashed, leading up to the events of the movie Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound.

EW YORK (AP) — Eric Garner was a familiar figure on the streets near Staten Island's ferry docks: to his friends, a congenial giant with a generous gesture or a calming word; to police, a persistent face of the small-time crime of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.
Garner's last run-in with police spiraled into a confrontation in which an officer applied an apparent chokehold, leaving the married father of six dead and police tactics under scrutiny. And it left some who knew him wondering why such conduct was used against a man they describe as a neighborhood peacemaker.
"That's the ironic part about it. He's the most gentle of everybody over there," friend Irvine Johnson said.
Public anguish over Garner's death kept building Monday, as a small group of demonstrators gathered outside City Hall to demand the police commissioner's resignation. Medical examiners were working to pinpoint the cause of Garner's death, prosecutors and police internal affairs detectives were investigating officers' conduct in the encounter, and the Fire Department was probing paramedics' and emergency medical technicians' actions. Four EMTs who responded to the call were suspended without pay pending the investigation, Richmond University Medical Center said.
Garner, 43, whose friends called him "Big E" and "Teddy Bear," had a son starting college, five other children and two grandchildren, and a quarter-century-long relationship with his wife, Esaw. He'd had had a couple of temporary jobs with the city Parks Department in recent years, most recently helping with horticulture crews and maintenance in 2013.
He was among a diverse group of regulars on a block that serves as a gathering point for day laborers seeking work and local residents passing time. Police say it's also a hot spot for complaints about what they term quality-of-life offenses — such as bicycle-riding on sidewalks, open containers of alcohol and loud noise — which are a centerpiece of Police Commissioner William Bratton's approach to keeping crime in check. The area has spawned about 100 arrests, 100 summons and 650 calls to 911 so far this year.
When officers approached Garner last Thursday, he protested that he hadn't done anything wrong and police were harassing him, according to a friend's video, obtained by the Daily News. The video shows an officer putting his arm around the 6-foot-3, 350-pound Garner's neck as Garner was taken to the ground and his face was pushed into the sidewalk. Before losing consciousness, he was heard to yell repeatedly, "I can't breathe!"
Garner had suffered for years from asthma, sometimes wheezing when he talked, friends and relatives said. He walked slowly on sore feet, sometimes untying his shoes to relieve the pressure, said Johnson, a handyman.
While Bratton has called Garner's death a tragedy and noted that investigators will determine whether officers acted appropriately, he also underscored that officers "met resistance" in trying to arrest him.

Troubled Broncos visit payback-minded Chiefs
Sunday, December 5, 2010
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Never mind the handshake. Josh McDaniels may one day be coming to Todd Haley for a handout.
Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen insisted this week he's not thinking of replacing his embattled young head coach. Then, less than an hour later, the team issued a statement that quoted Bowlen as backing off that declaration, saying he'll evaluate the situation at the end of a drearily disintegrating season.
The owner and his second-year coach already are both $50,000 lighter in the wallet thanks to NFL fines over an embarrassing taping session of an opponent's practice. Then, as preparations began for Sunday's rematch in Kansas City, a further pall was cast with the sad revelation that Broncos receiver Kenny McKinley had a gambling problem and was deep in debt when he committed suicide last September.
Hardly anything good has happened for the Broncos (3-8) since they pounded the Chiefs (7-4) 49-29 in Denver on Nov. 14, a deeply embarrassing day for KC that Haley made worse by refusing to shake hands with McDaniels.
Captured by still and live photography, the snub made Haley and the Chiefs look like poor sports. While he has never explained why he was so upset, Haley did apologize the next day — but not to McDaniels directly. Apparently, the two have not spoken since their last game.
As chagrined as Haley was at the controversy he created, it's hard to think of anything McDaniels could do that would offend the Chiefs coach to the point that he would refuse to shake hands again this week.
But both men spent the week publicly declaring their respect for one another, brushing aside any suggestion of ill feelings on anyone's part.
"I have a great deal of respect for their coaching staff and what they've been able to do and how they're playing and how they're scheming," said McDaniels.
Did he lose respect for Haley?
"Absolutely not," McDaniels said. "I think things happen. I understand that. I have a great deal of respect for Todd and for everybody involved with the Chiefs organization."
Haley feels the same, he says.
"There was no animosity to begin with," he said.
While things have gone south for the Broncos since that victory, all trends have pointed upward for the Chiefs. With Matt Cassel and Dwayne Bowe setting records, the Chiefs have beaten Arizona and Seattle by a combined score of 73-37 and maintained their lead over San Diego in the AFC West.
A Denver defense yielding a league-high 29.4 points per game will be dealing with one of the league's hottest quarterbacks in Cassel, who was voted AFC offensive player of the month after going 90 for 144 for 1,111 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had only one interception and a passer rating of 111.2 in November. He also became the first quarterback since Tom Brady in 2007 with four touchdown passes in consecutive road games.
His main target has been Bowe, who leads the league with 14 touchdown catches and has set a team record with TD catches in seven consecutive games.
Memories of last month's Denver debacle are still fresh for the Chiefs. In the second quarter, they fell behind 35-0 — a franchise record for biggest deficit in the first half.
"It was a bad taste in our mouth and again this is a division rival and a big game because it is our next game," said Cassel.
"Hopefully we will come ready to play."
While Cassel's been the AFC's hottest quarterback for a month, no one in the NFL has more passing yards than Denver's Kyle Orton. In spite of the Broncos' struggles, he leads the NFL with 3,370 yards passing and through 11 games has a career-best 96.0 rating. In addition, wide receiver Brandon Lloyd is the NFL's leader in yards receiving.
"The quarterback is playing at a high level. The receiver, Brandon Lloyd, is playing at a high level for them," said Haley. "He's a vertical threat."
Orton insists all the distractions have not kept the Broncos from sticking to business and preparing for their trip to Arrowhead Stadium, where they crushed the Chiefs last year 44-13.
"Controversy, distractions — that goes with the NFL," he said. "You go through a 16- or 17-week season, something's always going to come up. We've dealt with it in the past. Everybody in this building is focused on getting a win. That's it."
While the Chiefs wouldn't say anything about wanting payback for last month's humiliation, Orton figures it's only natural that they've circled this game on the schedule.
"Oh, I would assume they would have all the motivation just being in first place, being in a big game at home," he said. "I know all the motivation we need is we're struggling and we need to go out and do anything we can to get a win."

Faith-Based Organizers Announce Campaign to Mobilize 1 Million Voters for Economic Fairness in 2012
***For full audio of today's press conference, click here***
In a press call today, clergy leaders in key states such as Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota and Florida announced an unprecedented voter-contact effort that will mobilize 1 million people of faith to vote for economic justice this November. The call was organized by PICO National Network, the largest faith-based community organizing group in the country.
"There is a growing sense of moral outrage among people of faith who see working families losing their homes, their jobs, their health care and their retirement savings," said Gordon Whitman, director of policy, PICO National Network.
Whitman added that clergy see the pain of families up close, and they are compelled by those stories and their sacred teachings to offer moral leadership in this critical election season.
Under the voter-contact effort, known as the "Land of Opportunity" campaign, PICO faith leaders pledge to reach out to under-represented communities and register 75,000 new voters. By November, the coordinated mobilization will contact 1 million religious voters.
This week thousands of clergy in 10 states are holding events to unveil civic engagement plans preparing for the election. Clergy will work on a number of issues and ballot initiatives, including capping payday loans in Missouri, fighting back a dangerous budget cap that puts schools and essential community services at risk in Florida, and protecting voting rights in Minnesota. Clergy will engage their congregations and communities in events such as trainings, rallies, and voter registration drives.
"Economic fairness and opportunity for American families are the top moral priorities for religious voters in the 2012 election," said Jennifer Butler, executive director of Faith in Public Life, a strategy center that works with faith organizations. "Religious voters care about making ends meet, ensuring that everyone has a fair shot, and making sure the poor and vulnerable aren't left in utter destitution."
Rev. Errol Thompson, pastor of New Fellowship Baptist Church in Orlando, FL, spoke about his commitment to fighting Amendment 3, which would create a new state revenue limit based on a flawed formula.
"Instead of strengthening families and communities, Amendment 3 deepens cuts to schools, healthcare, public safety and senior services. Making tough times even tougher in this difficult economy, it places a greater burden on families at a time when they can least afford it. As clergy concerned about our state's families and communities, we oppose Amendment 3," said Rev. Thompson.
The Rev. Paul Slack from New Creation Church in Minneapolis said that as a member of the clergy, he became involved with the efforts to defeat an amendment that would require state ID to vote, because he has to oppose any measure that would further disenfranchise poor, elderly and minority populations.
"The right to vote should be a basic human right. Everyone should have the opportunity to vote and work to make Minnesota a better place," he said.
The launch events for the "Land of Opportunity" campaign are being held in Orlando, FL; Aurora, CO; St. Paul, MN; Las Cruces, NM; Sacramento, CA; Kansas City, MO; Cincinnati, OH; Reno, NV; Flint, MI and New Orleans, LA.
PICO works with 1,000 religious congregations in more than 200 cities and towns through its 60 local and state federations. PICO and its federations are non-partisan and do not endorse or support candidates for office. PICO urges people of faith to consult their faith traditions for guidance on specific policies and legislation. Learn more at www.piconetwork.org.

A Scenario Model for the Generation of Waste
3. ISAG and the development in the amount of waste 1994 -96
3.1 Household waste
According to public regulations, waste management facilities have to report the amount of waste received to the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (Danish EPA, 1993). Waste management facilities include waste incineration plants, recycling firms and landfills. The data in ISAG are based on information from these facilities (470 plants). ISAG includes the amount of waste grouped according to the geographical and economic sources, the type (whether it is domestic waste, garden waste, waste from industrial activities, etc.), the content (fractions like combustibles, non-combustibles, paper and cardboard, etc.) and waste management (incineration, recycling, etc.).
The categorisation used in the model is mainly the primary economic sources (i.e. excluding waste from management facilities) and fractions. In the case of a few very composite fractions such as "Various combustibles", however, the type contains some information about which economic activity generated the waste. This information (in addition to supplementary information from specific analyses) is used when, for instance, modelling generation of "Various combustibles" by households.
Table 3.1. Waste by fractions and sources, 1996.
The amount waste for each of the fractions and sources included in the model is shown for 1996 in Table 3.1. Fractions 90-93 account for about 30% of the total amount of waste generated. Of the total excluding fractions 90-93, the major fractions are "Various combustibles" (31% of the total excl. fractions 90-93), "Various non-combustibles" (9%), "Concrete" (11%), "Asphalt" (8%) and "Other building/construction waste " (6%). It should be noted that the fractions "Various combustibles" and "Various non-combustibles" are very composite fractions, containing a mixture of other waste fractions. In contrast, the other fractions are relatively homogenous and are collected separately with the purpose of recycling or special treatment.
The sources, "Households", "Trade and services" together with "Manufacturing", and "Building/construction" each generate about 1/3 of the total amount of waste in fractions 9-75. About 2/3 of "Various combustibles" is generated by households and of the total amount of waste generated by households, "Various combustibles" account for about 2/3. "Various non-combustibles" is more evenly distributed among sources, although manufacturing accounts for about 40% of the total. In the case of the large composite fractions "Various combustibles" and "Various non-combustibles", waste collected as household and bulky waste is examined in detail in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. Specific analyses of the content of the fractions are available for these two sources but not for other sources. "Concrete", "Asphalt" and "Other building/construction waste" are mainly generated by the source "Building and construction" including demolition and road construction.
Development in the total amount of waste is shown apportioned by source in Table 3.2. It should be mentioned that the statistics are still under development and are becoming more complete, i.e. part of the development/increase in the amount of waste is due to expansion of the statistical base (through an increase in the number of waste management facilities reporting to the ISAG system).
About 260,000 tonnes of the increase in 1996 is attributable to firms reporting for the first time. Of this about, 240,000 tonnes derive from the source "Building and construction". Correcting for this, the total amount of waste increased about 10% in 1996. As is apparent from Table 3.2, much of the increase is attributable to a considerable increase in waste from coal-fired power plants as a result of increased electricity production and the net export of electricity to Sweden and Norway. Correcting for the increase in the statistical base, the total amount of waste in fractions 9 to 75 increased about 8%. This mirrors a large increase in waste from building and construction (even when corrected for the additional firms included in the statistics) and moderate increases in waste from the other major sources. Waste from households increased about 6% with a large increase in garden waste and a small (2%) increase in the other fractions. Waste from manufacturing increased about 3%. Waste from trade and services increased about 2%. Thus correcting for extraordinary changes, waste from sources other than building/construction increased by an average of about 2-3% in 1996.
Table 3.2. Aggregated amounts of waste 1994-96.
The development in waste generation is shown for aggregated fractions in Table 3.3, and for all fractions and sources included in the model in Table 3.4. With regard to the sources, the development is partly attributable to extraordinary changes and the expansion of the statistical base. In the case of the major fractions the development has been as follows:
Table 3.3. Waste of aggregated fractions, 1994-96.
Table 3.4 Waste by fraction and source, 1994-96
3.1 Household waste
From Table 3.4 it can be seen that combustible and non-combustible household waste in 1996 totalled 1.8 and 0.164 million tonnes, respectively. This is a large share of the total amount of waste. Household waste consists of three fractions defined by the way it is collected: domestic waste, bulky waste and garden waste. The first two are analysed separately below.
3.1.1 Domestic waste
The data for household waste shown in Table 3.4 include all household waste independent of the collection method. The amounts collected as domestic waste (in waste bags) are shown in Table 3.5. The fraction "Various combustibles" amounted to about 1.4 million tonnes in 1996, or 78% of the total amount of combustible waste from households (about 0.4 million tonnes were collected as bulky waste giving a total of about 1.8 million tonnes). In Table 3.5 the fraction "Various non-combustibles" represents waste bags from households, which have not been incinerated. In the future this fraction is expected to fall to practically zero. In the following, the fraction "Various combustibles" and "Various non-combustibles" are treated together as representing the total amount of combustible waste in the household waste bags.
Table 3.5. Domestic waste from household sources
In making projections it is assumed that the amount of each waste fraction is proportional to the future development of certain macroeconomic variables. Domestic waste is a too large and heterogeneous group of waste to relate to only one economic variable, however, and has to be disaggregated into more homogeneous groups of waste. As this is not possible based on the waste statistics available in the ISAG system, disaggregation has been undertaken on the basis of a specific analysis.
The best available analysis of household waste was carried out during a one year period from July 1992 to July 1993. A total of 2,650 waste units (bin-bags) from households, totalling over 25 tonnes of waste, were hand sorted into 20 different fractions (Danish EPA, 1994). Domestic waste from flats, houses (detached/semi-detached), terraced houses, farmhouses and summer cottages was analysed. Random samples of one weeks waste were taken at six different sites around Denmark. In order to gain an impression of any seasonal variations, one weeks waste from 50 selected houses was also analysed once a month over a full year. The conclusion, however, was that there were no notable seasonal variations.
The waste fractions weights determined in the analysis are based upon waste which has been mixed, i.e. water will have moved from the wet food waste into the paper fractions. The results were therefore adjusted for this water movement based on dry matter analysis. This correction for the water movement is included in Table 3.6. Thus 10% has been added to the weight of the vegetable food waste and the animal food waste, 10% subtracted from the weight of "Other soiled paper and cardboard" and "Other clean paper and cardboard", and 40% subtracted from "Absorbent household paper".
The amount of paper and glass collected through various schemes for recycling and reuse was also determined and corrected for in order to produce an overall picture of domestic waste generated. The results of the analysis are given on page 109 of Danish EPA, (1994). The fractions "Paper and cardboard" and "Bottles and glass" in Table 3.5 already include the amounts of paper and glass collected through the various schemes for recycling and reuse, however. Since we are here investigating the composition of the waste in the first two lines of Table 3.5, "Various combustibles" and "Various non-combustibles" (i.e. the content of domestic waste bags), we must exclude the correction for the recycling schemes. Only the waste paper in the household waste bags is included in Table 3.6.
The total amount of combustible and non-combustible domestic waste in 1996 was thus about 1.1 million tonnes, or about 0.3 million tonnes less than the data shown in ISAG (Table 3.5). One reason for this could be that part of the waste collected from households actually originates from the service sector. The difference between the figures in Table 3.6 and the ISAG data is mainly attributable to the fact that waste from summer cottages is not included in the calculations, however.
The right hand column in Table 3.6 shows the three macroeconomic drivers (Appendix 1) used to project the waste fractions (no driver for garden waste). Adding the fractions in these groups it is apparent from Table 3.6 that 65.8% of the content of the waste bags is food and packaging waste, 16.5% is paper and other non-durable goods waste, 13.8% is durable goods waste, and 3.9% is garden waste.
Table 3.6. Content of the combustible and non-combustible fractions of domestic waste in Table 3.5.
3.1.2 Bulky waste
The amount of bulky waste from households registered in ISAG is shown in Table 3.7. The fractions "Various combustibles" and "Various non-combustibles" account for 85% of the bulky waste from households and the following analysis therefore concentrates on these two fractions.
Table 7 Bulky household waste registered in ISAG in tonnes.
As is apparent from the table, "Various combustibles" increased over the period 1994-1996, while "Various non-combustibles" decreased. The total amount of bulky household waste also increased during the period.
An analysis of bulky waste has been divided into combustible and non-combustible waste (see Danish EPA, 1998). The analysis has been made on randomly chosen loads of waste from different municipalities in Denmark in June 1996. Altogether 19 containers from 6 municipalities were analysed. The containers derive from manned container stations, unmanned container stations and collection systems. Although only bulky waste was supposed to be disposed of in the containers, all containers examined contained other waste such as domestic waste, garden waste and oil and chemical waste. In the following, the waste from the analysed containers is divided only into combustible and non-combustible bulky waste, ignoring other waste types incorrectly placed in the containers.
The fractions "Various Combustibles" and "Various non-combustibles" are characterised by being compounded fractions. Unlike the fractions "Paper and cardboard", "Bottles and glass", "Plastics", "Iron and metal", "Car tyres", "Concrete", "Tile/bricks", "Asphalt", "Wood", "Earth and stone", which all consist of rather clean materials, "Various combustibles" and "Various non-combustibles" are assumed to consist of a variety of different products and materials.
Bulky waste is reported to the ISAG system by the waste management facilities, and not by the municipalities. As the above-mentioned analysis has been made based on data registered by the municipalities, there may be differences in the data from this analysis and the data registered in ISAG.
Various combustibles
The "Various combustibles" fraction was divided into the two groups; "Small combustible waste" and "Large combustible waste". Small combustibles are collected through collection schemes and at manned container stations for recycling, while large combustibles are only collected at manned container stations. However, the waste collected through collection schemes is delivered to the manned container stations and registered there. The public can dispose of bulky waste at manned container stations which typically have containers for paper and cardboard, bottles and glass, plastics, iron and metal, and for various combustibles and various non-combustibles. Only containers with combustibles and non-combustibles were analysed.
The distribution of combustible waste into different groups of products varies depending on the size of combustible waste, see Table 3.8. Based on the results of the analysis, the combustible waste has been weighted as 80% small waste and 20% large waste in the right hand column.
Table.8 Combustible waste apportioned by product type.
Furniture: 40% wood and textiles, 30% carpet.
Based on the weighed average, combustible waste from construction and demolition accounts for the major share of the combustible waste (36%), followed by furniture (33%) and packaging (17%). With respect to small and large combustible waste, however, the figures vary. For example, packaging accounts for 22% of the small combustible waste but only 3% of the large combustible waste.
Various non-combustibles

The Future Is Machine-Readable
Robots and automated cars will require our cities to become machine-readable, and soon.
Such a system has already been reborn at North Carolina State University's new $115 million James B. Hunt Jr. Library. The school heralds it as "a symbol of the next wave of development" for the institution. One novelty of this new wave is that students will no longer be allowed to wander the stacks, as generations did before them. Two million volumes will be packed into a climate-controlled chamber underground, accessed only via a robotic crane. The new stacks occupy a fraction of the space previously required and recall will be much faster. (The system may also put an end to the age-old practice of students hiding in-demand books from classmates.) Rather than design a robot that could navigate the library, NCSU designed a library around the robot.
How will this balancing act manifest itself when robots migrate into other walks of life? Making highways friendly to self-driving cars will be relatively easy, as these roads are already a tightly controlled environment with a strong degree of standardization, from the layout of roads to their signage. Highways are often under the control of a central authority, too. This makes it relatively easy to implement any changes needed, so we shouldn't be surprised if machine-readable road architecture becomes the norm. In Peccioli, the researchers added several features to the roads to support DustCart. A special "robot lane" was demarcated in yellow paint, to segregate the trundling robot from normal traffic and avoid congestion in the narrow streets. Signs were also posted to warn drivers of the unusual road user. The area was saturated with high speed Wi-Fi and CCTV to ensure the control station remained in constant contact with the drone, and navigational beacons were installed throughout the collection area to help DustCart find its way.
But the ascendance of robots is not just about building a robot-friendly controlled environment; it's also about making as much of our surroundings as machine-readable as possible. QR codes, the information-dense mutant offspring of barcodes, are not a new invention, but they are finally coming to prominence thanks to the widespread adoption of smartphones. Rather than design systems with optical character recognition on par with our own, it proved easier to augment or sometimes even replace written text with machine-readable patterns that are incomprehensible to humans. It's unlikely that we'll give over our public information entirely to checkerboard symbols, but if we expect androids to pick up our shopping and transport patients across hospitals, at the very least we should expect this kind of bilingual signage to increase.
We are in the midst of a mass digitization of our data. We expect a huge proportion of our daily information, from news to correspondence, to be published in a format that can be delivered digitally. Meanwhile, archivists are busy scanning and uploading civilization's back catalog of printed materials. But the future offers to take us one step further, where the physical nature of the built world itself will be machine-readable by default.

Here & Now still facing challenges with live news
Earlier this week, I made a passing reference to how challenging it can be to deliver a live news piece on TV. This got me to thinking about CBC Here Now, and their live news delivery format.
Most news pieces on Here Now are performed live. More precisely, the intro and extro to each item is broadcast live from the scene of the story. Much of the time, the chunk of story in the middle has been pre-recorded.
Ive been up and down, hot and cold, on this policy since it was adopted more than two years ago. At first, I expressed skepticism about it. Then I came around, when the live reports proved useful as the story continued to evolve right into broadcast time. What could it hurt to have the reporter live at the scene? It ensured that late-breaking developments were captured and nothing was missed.
My opinion continues to evolve, and is definitely swinging in the other direction.
As I said, live TV is hard. And almost every night, there is some kind of flub in one of the live news reports. Nothing really serious, but enough to jar the reporters momentum and toss a speed bump in the way of our concentration on the story itself.
Its been two years, and its still happening. By now, it is apparent that these problems are not going to go away. And I dont fault the reporters for this. Most were not hired to be performers on live television their credentials relate to journalism and their ability to find and deliver the story. The live TV format has been introduced retroactively.
Furthermore, there have been technical difficulties too, many directly associated with the challenges of broadcasting a live remote. Its not uncommon, for example, for the audio to suddenly disappear from a live stand-up. At moments like this, I throw up my arms in frustration and say, Come on guys, to heck with this live thing. Just give me the news.
I am not suggesting that Here Now abandon its live remote delivery altogether. Far from it. But I do think they should be more judicious in how it is applied.
For example, if there is a major fire or other calamity that is still unstable, by all means, bring it to us live. If the budget has just been delivered and the lobby of Confederation Building is crawling with opinion leaders, sure, tell us what they are saying.
But standing beside a broken guardrail on the outer ring road to tell us that one person has died in a car accident, three hours after the emergency vehicles have left the scene, is too much. It isnt necessary.
With many stories those that are truly over and are not going to evolve any further it is fine to pre-record standups at the scene, doing several takes if necessary, then bring it back to the studio for editing.
Perhaps the local brass at CBC dont mind the frequent mistakes that occur on live TV. Or maybe theyre still working on it.
In my view, the technical quality of the newscast is important. I am happy to put up with minor stumbles, when the story is important enough to be broadcast live from the scene.
Otherwise, pre-recording is fine.
But this is just my view. And its an opinion that has been changing and evolving, with the newscast itself.
What do you think? Id like to hear other opinions on this. The folks at CBC are welcome to weigh in as well.

Received this unit and to put it to the test I took it on a lake shore fishing trip with two friends. We fished from 6-11 PM on a hot and humid nite here in Minnesota. Not one mosquito bite (or any other bug for that matter). They just did not come near us. Made the whole trip much more pleasant. Can't wait to try it in the woods while bowhunting next month. Great Product. You will not be sorry you bought it. I plan on purchasing another one for myself and one for my son.

Comments On Sep 10, 2015:After working as a nurse for people with brain and spinal injury, I always wear at least a helmet and back protector. For any serious riding I have a full on armored suit. This does not replace true armor, but it is nice for playing close to home where it's relatively safe. The vest is better quality than expected. Looks good. Feels comfortable while wearing. Stays solidly in place for me, but I have a really "V" shaped torso. I'm 5'8" - 160lbs - 41" chest - 30" waist. I purchased a L/XL. Fits good, but couldn't go any smaller. Would've been fine with a S/M but I like that it can be worn both under or over clothing.

Comments On Feb 09, 2015:I returned this vest. Way to short in the front and way to long in the back. Not a good fit for me.

Comments On Jun 19, 2013:Awesome for the summer! I only wish it was a little bit longer on the front and had some protection pads on the shoulder, then would've been great.

George McGovern lived long enough to be a contemporary of a lot of people, but I'd never heard him mentioned in the same breath as Lance Armstrong until today.
Leonard Pitts Jr. notes the juxtaposition of recent news reports about the two men in a new column:
There is something to be said for simply being who and what you say you are. In juxtaposing these two lives, these two fates, we learn that our parents were right, once upon a time.
Better you lose with integrity than win seven times without.

I recently found out that my husband of 3 years has an illegitimate child he fathered during his first marriage and does not acknowledge this child.

Despite not possessing hydrocarbon wealth, the economy will remain a relative outperformer in North Africa over the medium term. Though 2012 will prove a challenging year as exposure to the European recession takes its toll, investor interest in the country as an export-oriented manufacturing hub for the European market, coupled with a burgeoning tourism industry, should bode well for Moroccos underlying growth momentum through to 2015.
We expect inflation in Morocco to continue rising through the remainder of the year. Although core inflation will remain subdued, higher food prices and the scaling back of government fuel subsidies will send the headline print higher, and we forecast inflation to reach 2.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) by end-2012, up from 0.9% at the end of last year.
Major Forecast Changes
On the back of a series of tax hikes, as well as plans to cut back on public spending on energy subsidies, we have revised down our forecast for Moroccos fiscal deficit in 2012, from 6.2% of GDP to 5.5%. That said, we stress that it is far from guaranteed that planned subsidy reform will be implemented in full, and as a result, the country still faces significant fiscal risks.
Key Risks To Outlook
Our forecasts for both economic activity and fiscal policy assume that Morocco will benefit from significant inflows of foreign aid from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and other organisations in 2012. Should this assistance fail to materialise, it would pose serious downside risks to the countrys outlook. Moroccos balance of payments position is steadily deteriorating.
Persistently high international commodity prices and weak growth in the eurozone are taking their toll on the current account, while financial account inflows have consistently failed to cover the shortfall. While we are not expecting to see a dirham devaluation in the near term – owing primarily to political considerations – the risks to this view are growing, and the possibility of a devaluation over the next 12 months is no longer negligible.

Calling Procedures
In addition to using data manipulation statements directly, as just described, it is also possible to manipulate table data by calling a procedure. Procedures perform the specific data manipulations laid out in the procedure definition.
Any SQL statement in the grouping procedural-sql-statement, see the Mimer SQL Reference Manual, Chapter 12, Procedural SQL Statements, can be used in a procedure, and this includes all the data manipulation statements.
The use of procedures allows data manipulation within the database to be controlled both in terms of strictly defining which data manipulation operations are performed and also in terms of regulating which database objects can be affected.
A procedure is invoked by using the CALL statement. In the case of a result set procedure, used in an ESQL context, the CALL statement is not used directly but is specified in a cursor declaration. An ident requires EXECUTE privilege on a procedure in order to call it.
In the CALL statement, the value-expressions or assignment targets specified for each of the procedure parameters must be of a data type that is assignment-compatible, see the Mimer SQL Reference Manual, Chapter 6, Assignments, with the parameter data type.
See the Mimer SQL Reference Manual, Chapter 12, CALL, for full details of the CALL statement and the Mimer SQL Programmer's Manual, chapter 12, Mimer SQL Stored Procedures, for a general discussion of the stored procedure functionality supported in Mimer SQL.
Examples of Calling Procedures
Invoke the procedure called SEARCH in the MIMER_STORE_MUSIC schema:CALL mimer_store_music.search(:title, :artist, 0);
Declare a cursor that will be used when result-set data is fetched from the result set procedure called BARCODE:DECLARE c_2 CURSOR FOR CALL mimer_store.barcode(itm.ean_code);
