I have been a Happy Hound client for several years. I appreciate the convenience and I love that I can relax on vacation knowing my pooch is safe and happy. HH's customer service is great too and the staffers love the dogs.
What a wonderful experience my dog and I have had at Happy Hound! I used to own a yappy, nip at your heels, anti-social Chihuahua but after 2 weeks at the Happy Hound Board and Train school - I now own a calm, cooperative, walks by my side Chihuahua. Buster was absolutely transformed. I love Happy Hound because it's Busters home away from home. He plays with other doggies in a supervised and controlled environment and always gets plenty of love from the staff. When I pick him up f...view morerom daycare he goes right to sleep on my lap with a smile on his face. And he is always eager to get back to Happy Hound to see all of his canine and human friends. If you are looking for the best doggy daycare, overnight boarding or dog training facility - you will find all of that and more at Happy Hound Play & Daycare!view less
I have heard good things about them, but when I called them about daycare for my 5-year-old, 6-lb. toy dog, it was kind of a washout. I was told that he could only be accommodated with the puppies, and I know my guy enjoys the company of other adult dogs, but not youngsters.
I'm rather stunned by the recent harsh negative reviews. I started taking my big, high-spirited pup there a couple of months ago, and it has been great for him. I put him in day-care so that he can get a full day of exercise a couple of days per week. The whole point is for him to get worn out, and to get him more used to playing with other dogs. \r
We also went through the long interview process, however it was a breeze, and I actually got a lot of advice on raising and training ...view morethe boy. I felt secure knowing that the other dogs went through the same process, and that problem dogs would be weeded out. My dog had been falsely accused of being aggressive, and they recognized high-energy and high-spirits as not being equivalent to aggressiveness. \r
I also like the fact that they are so confident of how they treat the dogs that they have a web-cam so you can check in anytime you want. They keep at least one person in each play area (as opposed to some of the places I visited which had only one staff person there when I arrived, and nobody with the dogs.)\r
The first day we showed up at daycare, the staff all knew we were coming and knew my dog's name. I was left with the impression that they all care about the dogs in their care. Many of the daycare places keep dogs in pens, and let them out only for occasional play periods. Here they can play all day. He comes home tired and happy. He knows the schedule, and when I take him out of the house in the AM and head for the car rather than the park, he gets incredibly excited.\r
For us, it has been great and I recommend Happy Hound.\rview less
I found Happy Hounds (HH) via this site with positive remarks & that's why I decided to take my dog there for daycare/overnights; however, my experience was quite the opposite. I'm a responsible dog owner with a very healthy dog. I took my dog there for daycare/overnight stays and when I picked him up he was tired as expected; however, within a few hrs. he was unable to walk & was in extreme pain. The next day I took him to the vet for pain medications, etc. Prior to HH, my dog was 100...view more% healthy & even went to a similar place out of the area for the same duration with no issues upon returning home. Something mysteriously happened and I inquired w/ them to see what caused his severe pain? I asked if he was wearing his sweater since it's extremely cold there & that he got the necessary naps. They assured me this was done; however, something had to have occurred? What?s most troubling was their facility can be extremely cold as they leave a door open & w/ the cold cement floor, I think this could?ve been a factor in his muscles tightening, etc. Also, the kennel areas are supposed to be heated, but I'm not sure this is sufficient considering how high they?re elevated over the areas, heat rises, it takes an hr. + to warm up, the cement floor is cold, etc. Plus, during the cold month my dog was there, the staff was bundled up, but most of the dogs weren't wearing sweaters. &, yes, dogs? body temps. are different than humans, but the place was freezing which can't be good for dogs walking all day on cement. If you have a short hair dog & regardless if they are moving around all day, I think the place is too cold for the dogs. Another concern- make sure your dog gets naps when requested. I just wanted you to be weary since I trusted this facility based on the reviews & my meeting with them. I will not take my dog to HH again & hope they consider doing something about their inadequate heating system & more closely monitor dogs needing breaks or that may be in distress.view less
My husband, my dog and I where all put through a 3 hour interview process for initiation. It was horrible. The interviewer was so obsessed with psycho analyzing our dog that by the time we where released we never wanted to go back. He did nothing but criticize our 6 month old Yorkies behavior. Our puppy was so distraught from the entire experience. In my opinion Happy Hound is not a healthy environment for dogs and we do not recommend the experience. Also their fee's are way to e...view morexpensive for the initiation process. It would have cost $200 before our initial charge for boarding because of some policy. The entire boarding cost would have been close to $400. Save yourself and go to Just Pet Me Country Club off Broadway instead. No 3 our interview and no initiation process coasting $200. Just Pet Me has the best services for your dog and it's only $50 for hotel charge. My dog was so happy and tired from playing all day that we now drop him off for play days.view less
I can't say enough to explain how both me and my dogs feel about Happy Hound. The service is great, the enviroment is great, the staff is above great! I come from a small town and to move to the bay area with my pooches it was a relief to find such a great home away from home. They love it and I wouldnt take them anywhere else. It may be a wi-bit pricey but its totally worth it. Most of all its organized, safe, and clean. LOVE IT!
Dogs run free in supervised, enclosed areas, designated by size; small, med and large dogs. Handlers rotate between the enclosures, getting to know all of their charges, while ensuring everyone is playing nice and not making a ruckus. Staff are all clearly dog-lovers, and friendly to the owners as well. They do accommodate for nervous dogs or those who need a gentle introduction to the stressors of playing in a pack. My nervous ninny comes home more confident from her days at H.H., whi...view morele my big solid bully dog comes home exhausted from a day with the Big Dogs. This place is tops; the only -- and I mean it -- kennel/day care situation I would recommend to anyone. It is a bit on the pricy side, but what you pay for is the well-being of your dog -- not something I've had good experience with in any other kenneling situation.view less
I am so afraid to refer people to kennels in the local area. I have been thrilled to find such a great new facility that I can refer with confidence, especially with so many of us who work late and would like to bring our dogs to work! This is an amazing option to bring your dog in so that you can take off right after work!

The FAW in addition to its administration responsibilities for football in Wales also has the responsibility of running the international teams, of which there are eight, namely "A", "U21", "U19", "U17", Semi-Professional, Womens, Women's "U19 and Women's U17".
The administration of football in Wales is governed by the Council consisting of a President, two Vice-Presidents, Treasurer and nineteen elected / nominated members. In addition there are also five Life Vice-Presidents and two Life Councillors. The association is honoured by having Her Majesty The Queen as its patron.
The Council is responsible for the overall direction of Welsh football while the day to day management of the affairs of the association are directed by the Secretary General and his staff. Wales, being one of the smaller associations geographically and numerically of both FIFA and UEFA has twenty-four full-time and three part-time staff. For more information on the Staff and Constitution of the FAW, please see the relevant pages on the site.
THE ASSOCIATION shall be governed by a Council. The Council shall consist of the Officers of the Council and twenty Councillors as elected or nominated triennially (the next such date being 1998) together with such Life Vice-Presidents and Life Councillors as there maybe from time to time. The said members of the Council are referred to as "Councillors" in the Rules. The said twenty Councillors shall be elected or nominated as appropriate triennially as follows:-
4.1 six Councillors shall be, and shall be known as "South Wales Representatives" and shall be nominated and elected by Qualifying Clubs in the "South Wales Area" as defined in Rule 5
4.2 six Councillors shall be, and shall be known as "North Wales Representatives" and shall be nominated and elected by Qualifying Clubs in the "North Wales Area" as defined in Rule 5;
4.3 one Councillor shall be known as "The Football League of Wales Representative" and shall be nominated and elected by the Qualifying Clubs in The Football League of Wales;
4.4 each of the six Area Associations (as set out in Rule 2.2) shall nominate one Councillor;
4.5 the names of the persons nominated under Rules 4.4 and 4.5 shall be submitted to the Secretary of the Association no later than Ist August.
5. Notwithstanding anything contained in these Rules, the Council, for the purpose of determining the constituency for the election of the six (6) South Wales Representatives and the six (6) North Wales Representatives and in so doing ensuring good representation of the whole of Wales shall be empowered to divide the country into suitable areas and sub-areas and allocate such representation as far as possible suitably between the Qualifying Clubs ("the Areas"). Such Areas of the country are currently "the South Wales Area" and "the North Wales Area" with the North Wales Area currently divided further into the North East Wales, North Wales Coast and Central Wales sub-Areas. Qualifying Clubs in any particular Area or sub-Area shall only vote for those candidates nominated as Representatives from the particular Area or sub-Area concerned. The Council shall have the power to prescribe the number of votes which each Qualifying Club must cast in any election. Failure to cast the said number of votes will render the Qualifying Club's ballot paper void. Voting papers for any particular Area or sub-Area will state clearly how many votes must be cast by Qualifying Clubs, in the election. Only those Qualifying Clubs which on the Ist of August preceding the occurrence of any election (whether triennial or for a vacancy), were eligible to vote at a Meeting, shall be entitled to nominate a candidate for election and vote in that election.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
5:23-33 Moses refers to the consternation caused by the terror with which the law was given. God's appearances have always been terrible to man, ever since the fall; but Christ, having taken away sin, invites us to come boldly to the throne of grace. They were in a good mind, under the strong convictions of the word they heard. Many have their consciences startled by the law who have them not purified; fair promises are extorted from them, but no good principles are fixed and rooted in them. God commended what they said. He desires the welfare and salvation of poor sinners. He has given abundant proof that he does so; he gives us time and space to repent. He has sent his Son to redeem us, promised his Spirit to those who pray for him, and has declared that he has no pleasure in the ruin of sinners. It would be well with many, if there were always such a heart in them, as there seems to be sometimes; when they are under conviction of sin, or the rebukes of providence, or when they come to look death in the face. The only way to be happy, is to be holy. Say to the righteous, It shall be well with them. Let believers make it more and more their study and delight, to do as the Lord God hath commanded.
Pulpit Commentary
Verses 30, 31. - The people were commanded to return to their tents, and Moses was appointed to act as mediator between God and them, receiving from him his commandments and communicating them to the people.

Go say to them, get you into your tents again. Which they had left, being brought by Moses, at the direction of God, to the foot of Mount Sinai, to receive the law from his mouth; this being done, they are ordered to return to their tents again, to their families, wives, and children.

Reality television mom Kate Gosselin and at least some of her eight children have been spotted in a coastal North Carolina city.
Employees of downtown businesses in Wilmington said they saw
Gosselin family members on Wednesday. Jon and Kate Gosselin, their
twins and sextuplets star in TLC's reality show, "Jon and Kate
Plus Eight.
The Star-News of Wilmington reported Thursday that Kate Gosselin
and the 5-year-old sextuplets ate lunch at Elijah's Restaurant.
Several of the children went on a horse-drawn carriage tour, made
bead bracelets and ate ice cream.
Both Jon and Kate have recently denied cheating on each other,
although they have acknowledged the marriage is struggling. The
Gosselins, minus father Jon and their twins, stayed on Bald Head Island just off the North Carolina coast last week.

Sherlock Unleashed—Again
The struggle goes on in 21st century London as the updated team of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson battle the worst that modern criminality has to offer, including a computer-savvy arch-villain who wants to rule the world. Masterpiece Mystery! "Sherlock, Series 2" airs Sundays in May at 9 p.m. on Eight.
Benedict Cumberbatch (War Horse, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) returns as the world's foremost consulting detective, with Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Office UK) as the stalwart, if edgy, Dr. John Watson, and Andrew Scott (Lennon Naked) as the unassuming mastermind of evil, Jim Moriarty.
Critics were astounded by Sherlock, Series 1, calling it "wonderfully weird" (Wall Street Journal), "unabashedly entertaining" (USA Today), "absorbedly witty and brisk" (Washington Post), "tremendously clever" (Entertainment Weekly), and just plain "delightful" (TV Guide).
The returning cast includes Rupert Graves (The Forsyte Saga, God on Trial) as Inspector Lestrade, the man nominally in charge of crime solving in London; Mark Gatiss (Sense & Sensibility) as Sherlock's cloak-and-dagger older brother, Mycroft; and Una Stubbs (Till Death Us Do Part) as Sherlock's infinitely patient landlady, Mrs. Hudson.
Each of the three episodes in the new season is pegged to a classic Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle—delightfully, weirdly, wittily, and briskly updated, of course.

Forests are necessary for the survival of billions of people who rely on them, argues a new UN report presented in Rome Monday.
"Food from the forests -- like fruit, nuts, mushrooms, leaves, roots, insects and wild animals -- often contributes a nutritious supplement to rural people and provides a safety net in times of hardship," said Eva Mueller, director of the Food and Agriculture Organization's Forestry Division.
Mueller was commenting on the UN's State of the World's Forest report, which argues that it's time to shift conservation efforts from "trees to people."
Forests employ 13.2 million people in the formal forestry sector, the report said. Nearly a third of the world's population requires wood for cooking, and 764 million people use wood as fuel to boil drinking water.
Mueller estimated forests provide the habitat for about 80 percent of the world's biodiversity and are "home to many pollinator species."

New York Giants - The Polo Grounds
A sculpture of extraordinary realism...meticulously detailed and skillfully hand painted.

Chick-fil-A and Georgia Power employees used MLK Day to roll up their sleeves, get dirty, and give back to the Atlanta community.
For about four hours on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, employees from Chick-fil-A and Georgia Power teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to build garden beds, enhance storage facilities, and perform general cleanup work at Christian City, a residential home for the aged and refuge for children without families, in Union City, Georgia.
"I enjoyed my time there very much, including the fellowship and the opportunity to work with the Georgia Power and Christian City employees," says Mike Jones, Corporate Facilities at Chick-fil-A. "By volunteering, we helped save Christian City a great deal of money that they will now be able to use for the individuals they serve. It was a good feeling knowing I helped make a difference in hundreds of people's lives in such a short period of time. I would gladly do it again."
Anne Marie Deltor, senior administrator for Corporate Legal at Chick-fil-A, attended the event with her son, Trent, whose group built community garden beds. Anne Marie's group filled the beds with dirt, which involved hours of shoveling.
"Trent said he learned how much working on a project with a determined group of people can ameliorate the process. He also said it felt good serving the community," Anne Marie says. "I enjoyed it very much, too. I got a feeling that I did exactly what God expected from me today, giving back to the community that's in need."
Employees from many different departments volunteered for the collaborative day of service, including Restaurant Development, Field Operations, Financial Services, Field Talent, Corporate Facilities, Community Affairs, Corporate Legal, and Engineering, Integration and Data. The Chick-fil-A Foundation was also responsible for organizing the event.

for Faculty, Staff & Departmental Relocations
Relocations typically occur due to a building remodel, the completion of a new facility, re-organization, or a space assignment change required to better support University operations. The instructions that follow are designed to simplify the preparation, move-in and resettling process.
Prior to the move
- Make arrangements with ITS to relocate computers, transfer voice and data connections a soon as a potential move is contemplated. Early contact of ITS for move support is critical when moves involve the addition of new data jacks, re-cabling or if the move is to be scheduled during break or holiday periods. A service request form can be found at:
- Notify Mail Services of the change of location and date of service change (ext.#1807.)
- Make arrangements with the Lock Shop (ext.#3000) for new keys, key signature cards, and to turn in old keys.
- Make arrangements with Surplus & Asset Management (ext.#2157) to remove any surplus items prior to the move.
- After opening a move support work order, make arrangements with custodial transportation services (ext.#2984) to perform a "pre-move walk-through" to plan for furniture relocation. Please note that in many campus facilities, furniture was puchased with capital construction funds and needs to remain in the building. Also note that newer facilities may have building furnshing standards that prohibit the use of non-standard or personal furnishing items.
- Personnel within departments/operations being moved are responsible for packing their office and personal material into boxes, prior to the scheduled move date.
Tip: Boxes should not be over or under packed. Tops should lay flat and close easily.
- Special boxes for moving will be provided by Facilities Management. Request boxes by leaving a voice mail with Custodial Services (ext.#2984) with the following information:
- Name of department
- Name of individual
- Name of building presently occupied
- Room number presently occupied
- Number of boxes needed (boxes measure approximately 12"W x 12"H x 20"L)
- The contents of all shelves and furniture (including contents of file cabinets) must be packed in the boxes provided by Facilities Management.
- Special moving labels will be provided for the boxes and those items too large to be boxed. The label must have the following information placed on it:
- Name of individual
- Name of building individual is moving into
- Room number items are to be moved to
- To avoid the risk of loss, unlabeled items will not be moved.
- Take care not to pack items in "Recycle Boxes".
Facilities Management's moving crew will move all labeled items. Due to the risk of personal injury, personnel being moved are asked not to move any boxed or unboxed items on their own.
Unpacking and positioning of moved items in new quarters will be the responsibility of individuals being moved.
Boxes provided by Facilities Management are State property purchased with State funds and must be retrieved by Facilities Management.
Call (ext.#2984) to request retrieval of emptied boxes.

County's audit 'clean' even with thefts from sheriff
Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Forty minutes after being told an outside auditing firm reported "a clean audit — the best opinion you can get" for Cole County government's financial record-keeping, commissioners on Monday approved a $49,367.69 transfer of funds into Sheriff Greg White's budget.
"This replaces the various funds that were stolen," White told the three-member commission. "It specifically is coming from contingency (funds) which, my understanding is, should be (repaid) from the insurance policy — based on a conviction."
County Auditor Jim LePage told commissioners last month his review of the sheriff's records showed nearly $48,000 had been taken, between May 1, 2011, and May 17, 2012, from two accounts managed by a former jail clerk.
That clerk — Gina Freeman, 35, Jefferson City — was charged May 17 with stealing from the accounts, and she's scheduled to be arraigned July 24 before Associate Circuit Judge Thomas L. Sodergren.

The area hit the hardest was the Pinnacles Drive area of Rocklin near S. Whitney Blvd. Vehicle owners within the city of Roseville were also targeted. Rocklin Police are encouraging residents to park their vehicles inside garages or in a secure side yard. Motion detector lights on the exterior of the residence may also be a deterrent to thieves, Lt. Milka noted. Residents should report any suspicious activity or individuals by calling the Rocklin Police Department's non-emergency line at (916) 625-5400. If witnessing a crime in progress, residents should call 9-1-1, added Lt. Milka.

Man held in jail on theft chargesApril 06,2013Man held in jail
on theft charges
BENNINGTON An Arlington man is being held in jail after being accused of taking two cartons of cigarettes from a Manchester store March 27 and some miscellaneous items from an Arlington doctors office March 9.
Benjamin S. Payne, 32, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court this week on a felony charge of burglary and two misdemeanor charges of petty larceny.
Payne pleaded innocent Monday but at a hearing Tuesday, defense attorney Lucy McCarthy said her client would not object to being held in prison because the Department of Corrections revoked his furlough.
Police said Payne took some tourniquets and needles from Arlington Family Practice on March 9. The combined value of the items was about $1.50, police said
Payne was also accused of taking two cartons of cigarettes and going through an employees handbag at Maplefields store in Manchester on March 27. He was charged with burglary because police said he entered an area of the store not open to the public.
Police said the incident at Maplefields was recorded by the stores video surveillance system.
Payne was charged Friday as a habitual offender, which allows a judge to sentence him to up to life in prison if hes convicted. Payne has previous felony convictions for escaping from furlough, burglary and identity theft.MORE IN This Just In

RISMEDIA, June 5, 2009-It's the first global event of its kind, expected to draw more than 50,000 runners and walkers who are moved to help end breast cancer forever. Susan G. Komen for the Cure's Inaugural Global Race for the Cure® is in Washington, D.C., this weekend, June 5-6, and organizers hope to raise $6.1 million to fund educational programs and breast cancer research.
Since 2002, RE/MAX International, Inc. and RE/MAX Associates around the country have been raising money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, through local fundraising events, co-sponsorship of the Survivor Recognition Program at Race for the Cure events and now the RE/MAX national sponsorship of the Race for the Cure® Series.
This year, despite a challenging economy, RE/MAX International raised its sponsorship level to become the exclusive real estate sponsor of the Global Race for the Cure and the full series of more than 120 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events worldwide.
"Breast cancer has affected our family, friends and neighbors and for the nearly 100,000 RE/MAX Associates around the world, it's a very personal cause," said Margaret Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of RE/MAX International. "We are so very proud to be a national sponsor of the Race for the Cure Series that has created this inaugural global race because of the recognition it will bring to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the hope it will give to people living with breast cancer."
RE/MAX says that the company is honored to be among the sponsors and guests welcomed at a special pre-race reception at the Vice President's mansion before the Race, and RE/MAX will be part of the morning ceremonies on Saturday, June 6th.

Some steppes maybe?
I hope you can help me. I am not new to making maps. I have made hundreds! All end up in the trash can. So I come here hoping the I can find some much needed help.
I am trying, emphasis on trying, to create a map for my novel. The story timeframe is the 1500's. The world has been created with two halves. The northern half is the icelands, the southern half is much more temperate but not tropical.
I would like to have a natural barrier separate the two regions but other than having a tall mountain range running east to west , I haven't came up with anything.
Since people travel by foot with only the occasional traveler using a horse. What would be a good scale to use for my map? And I don't think it possible to go from a very cold region to a warmer one without transitions, so on my map can you suggest what the zones could be?
I can't seem to get anything going with my map. Help is desperately needed.
Thank you.
Some steppes maybe?
I would suggest you look at Russia and Canada to find examples of what you might find in transition zones. Both range from very cold in the North to at least temperate in the south. Mountains COULD also be a break if that is where you want to go, but it would be a bit...phoney if not done well. Same with a huge Grand Canyon type of thing. A lot could depend on the WHY you have that sort of situation going on.
Art Critic = Someone with the Eye of an Artist, Words of a Bard, and the Talent of a Rock.
Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
Look to the Siberia/Mongolia/Gobi Desert (China) area of the world. It starts out with cold forest (Taiga), transitions to rugged steppes, then to blazingly hot desert. The scales are rather large, but it sounds like exactly what you want. A continental climate would model that best, as in the scenario outlined above.
You might also use water of some sort to break them up. It also all depends upon how realistic your story is. Game of Thrones uses the wall as a barrier and the wall is held together by magic.

Reviews for Borderlands 2
BorderlandsiBoom3RxX | Sept. 9, 2013 | See all iBoom3RxX's reviews »
Borderlands 2 is a good sequel to the first one. However, I still haven't completed the game where the first game I completed about 5 times, and the reason is that I find the game less interesting compared to the first one, also there isn't much changed from the first game. But still the gameplay mechanics are good and the game overall deserves trying out.
Absolutely brilliant sequelMattiebo | Oct. 11, 2012 | See all Mattiebo's reviews »
I've been playing this game for around 2 weeks now and, after being a big fan of the original game (despite all its flaws) I was hoping that this game would be amazing. To my delight, it is. It took me around 40 hours to beat the story with one character and I still have a True Vault Hunter mode (essentially new game plus) playthrough and a bunch of side-missions to play. The game is crammed with content, and you can even play the game through several times using different characters. Multiplayer is extremely fun and it's easy to play with friends using the drop-in/drop-out mechanic. Of course, a major part of Borderlands is the guns, and the guns in Borderlands 2 are more varied and impressive than ever. The guns and their properties can be identified by their branding, with manufactorers like Hyperion, Jakobs and Maliwan all feeling different. If you like fun, you'll love Borderlands 2.

Cats and Holiday Decorations
As you "Deck the Halls" this year, keep your kitty's safety in mind. Tinsel, ornaments, ornament hooks, tree lights/wires and even the holiday tree itself can present potential hazards for curious felines. To prevent your cat from approaching the tree, try placing "strange" surfaces around the tree. Things like aluminum foil, bath tub mats (suction cup side up), bubble wrap and double stick tape can all be uncomfortable surfaces for cats to walk on. Placing items like this around the tree can help prevent kitty from approaching the tree and getting into trouble. Make note too, that if your cat has a "launching" pad a place he jumps from to land on the tree be sure to place a bath tub mat, etc. on that surface as well. If he has no place to launch, he can't get at the tree. Be very watchful this time of year can be quite hazardous for cats.

Nine Planets Wanted! UN Climate Change Exhibition
Posted By Abigail Doan On September 27, 2008 @ 2:30 pm In Art,Design,Environment,global warming | 1 Comment
All eyes have been on the General Assembly sessions at the United Nations HQ [2] this past week, and with good reason, there is a heck of a lot of work to be done in getting our planetary house in order. Aiding this mission is a site-specific art installation called, Nine Planets Wanted! [3], designed by team ZAGO LLC [4] as part of the United Nations Development Programme [5]'s One Planet, One Chance campaign on climate change and social inequality. There is already a wealth of information to digest on global warming, including alarming statistics and abstract data. So to avoid the possibility of information overload, ZAGO [4] thoughtfully opted to create a multi-media lounge where visitors can take some much needed time to ponder the state of the planet by stretching out in recycled beanbags (made from discarded car interiors) and simply be present.
Nine Planets Wanted! [3] features twelve island-like beanbag seats displayed in a mesmerizing red and blue striped lounge situated in the U.N. HQ Visitors' Lobby [6]. Passersby are lured into the space and the surrounding niches displaying comparative views of carbon-dioxide volumes emitted around the world (20t per capita per year in the US, 0,2t in Haiti, for example). The exhibition designers see the project as a vital way to encourage visitors and officials to learn more about global warming in anticipation of the post-Kyoto protocol discussions in 2009.
Designed by Waste-Bcn [7], a Spanish company, the recycled bean bags successfully tempt viewers to sit and read the statistical newsprint headlines or watch Magnum's photo video contribution. Key facts and figures from the UNDP's Human Development Report [5] from 2007/2008 is artfully presented in an unprecedented and unusually interactive manner.
One very clever feature is a wall that acts as a lenticular image [8] as you move past it. The image shifts between CO₂ and 2º C depending on your perspective. (CO2 for carbon-dioxide emissions; 2º C rise in temperature represents the global threshold for avoiding dangerous climate change). The visual effect is achieved by suspending the stripe pattern about 6″ off the background wall in that spot.
Smart design that gets folks from all corners of the globe to focus in on the key issues, is certainly worthy of everyone's attention. Let's hope this does the trick and gets us to take some serious time out to institute immediate and non-politicized change.
Nine Planets Wanted! [3] is on view in the United Nations HQ Visitors' Lobby [6] from September 9 – October 5, 2008.

Salvarsan does not have the effect at first heralded. It is not the therapia magna sterilisans which at one blow effects the destruction of all the spirochetes in the blood-stream. To be sure, in certain cases, but these I believe to be very few, it causes a complete disappearance of symptoms, which seems to be permanent. In certain other cases salvarsan exerts a remarkable influence, but the results are often only temporary. As judged by the effect on the Vassermann reaction, Salvarsan is not of and by itself sufficient to produce an enduring serologic cure. The accompanying tabulated results are transcribed, for the greater part, from my protocol of Wassermann reactions done in the First Dermatologic Clinic, Vienna, during last fall. The other cases are all my own, observed and studied in chicago.

Perfect capture of the nature of this ridge. If one looks carefully, it can be seen that a few metres in front of the camera the ground falls away out of sight. This deep cleft is one of the ridge's more entertaining features.

Slander From Santorum: Former Senator Once Again Proves That He's No Jack Kennedy
We've criticized former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum on this blog before for his poor understanding of church-state separation.
Santorum believes President John F. Kennedy was wrong when, in a famous 1960 speech, Kennedy vowed to be the president of all people and make his policy decisions not on the basis of what his Roman Catholic faith demanded but on the grounds of what was good for the country. Read more

What we do in Army Medicine is about taking care of America's sons and daughters. That's why we exist. And we will do everything in our power to do that.

By October 2014, Army transition efforts will be scattered throughout the lifetime of a Soldier so you don't begin to think about transitioning the last year or so. Rather, you start the transitioning process the first year or so so you can prepare yourself with plans, certification, networking and so on throughout your career, whether it's just a 12-month mobilization or a 30-year career.

Conference of American Armies' Extraordinary Commanders' Meeting
What is it?
The Conference of American Armies (CAA) comprises of 20 member armies, five observer armies and two international military organizations from the Caribbean, Central, North and South American nations. It is a forum for chiefs of armies to come together and discuss issues of mutual interest in order to contribute to hemispheric security, protection against threats and to enhance interpersonal relationships.
The CAA usually conducts a commanders' conference once every two years with specialized conferences interspersed throughout the two-year cycle. In 2011, Peru hosted the biennial commanders' conference and at that time the members agreed to add an extraordinary commanders' meeting in 2012.
The U.S. Army South (ARSOUTH) commanding general will lead a U.S. delegation to the Conference of the American Armies (CAA) Extraordinary Commanders' Meeting on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) on Dec. 10-13 in Mexico City, Mexico.
What has the Army done?
Since 1960, the CAA has provided a venue for the CSA to engage in dialogue with counterparts in the region. At the extraordinary commanders' meeting the members will discuss findings from specialized conferences that took place in the last 12 months in areas such as communications, legal, science and technology, emerging threats and risk situations and disaster relief operations. In July, ARSOUTH hosted and the commandant of the Army's Judge Advocate General Center and School chaired the specialized legal conference in San Antonio. ARSOUTH is the Army's action agent and hosts the Army's CAA liaison office.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The CAA provides a venue for continual direct engagement with senior military leaders to ensure an understanding of partner nation issues facing land force commanders. ARSOUTH will continue to work with the CAA and, through other venues, conduct and support multinational operations and partnerships with security cooperation in U.S. Southern Command's (SOUTHCOM) area of responsibility in order to counter emerging threats and strengthen regional security in defense of the homeland while supporting the CSA's vision.
Why is this important to the Army?
The CAA permits an open exchange of information and allows leaders to discuss lessons learned. It also helps partner nations build and sustain capability and capacity. Member armies in CAA partner each year with ARSOUTH and SOUTHCOM in exercises such as Peace Keeping Operations-Americas and Fuerzas-Aliadas Humanitarias. Last year's conferences highlighted transnational criminal organizations as a main topic of discussion.
