Home / What We Do / Care for Cats / Organizing Your Community for Strategic Change for Cats
Organizing to effect change at the community level is one of the best ways you can help improve cats' lives, by pushing to end the unnecessary killing in shelters and provide humane care. There is great legal, political, and moral strength in our standing together to say that killing cats must stop. You can organize your community for strategic change for cats.
1) The Feral Cat Movement – An Overview
Then and NowTwenty years ago, trapping the cats in your back alley to get them spayed or neutered and vaccinated was an eccentric, even suspect, activity that few were able or even knew how to undertake and most were reluctant to even talk about. Finding a veterinary clinic willing and competent to treat feral cats was next to impossible and the costs, borne by caregivers alone, were staggering. In those early days, Trap-Neuter-Return was an expensive, solitary endeavor.
Early caregivers found each other and started working together. Small groups grew, sometimes becoming 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with structure and funding. Organizing as a group provided shared resources, a safety net for both the cats and caregivers, and a protected legal identity. Slowly at first, but with growing momentum, members of the veterinary profession began recognizing that feral cats were an underserved population; they understood the urgent need to stop their endless reproduction and improve their lives. Volunteers organized feral cat spay days and full-time, subsidized clinics in an outpouring of community service that continues today.
Humans have a compassionate nature and it was inevitable that caregivers would respond to help outdoor cats—a legacy that continues today.
Today, much has changed, but not nearly enough.
We organized in the past to make Trap-Neuter-Return possible. Today, we organize to make Trap-Neuter-Return the norm and to stop the killing of cats in animal shelters across the country.
Building the Movement – Understanding the IssuesThere are two sources of power in the political process: money and people. Since we will never be able to match the financial resources of our opponents, cat advocates must come together and garner power through recruiting, training, and mobilizing citizens to say "no" to killing cats and "yes" to improving their lives.
Grassroots organizing is an American tradition that lives on today in communities across the country. It's in hometown newspapers all the time—residents working together to improve their neighborhood or draw attention to a worthy cause. And it works for cats too: it's the most effective approach you can use to help improve the lives of cats and stop the killing in your local shelters.
An overwhelming majority of U.S. animal control pounds and shelters continue to implement and enforce antiquated laws and species-inappropriate policies that result in the killing of over 70% of all cats who enter facilities. Virtually every feral cat who enters a shelter is killed there.
Ill-conceived ordinances like feeding bans and limit laws punish the very people who, at their own expense, are working to improve conditions for both cats and community. Even while feral cat groups have organized and grown, many individual caregivers have been harassed and cited for their community service. Some have even dropped from view to care for the cats in secret for safety's sake. These ordinances ignore the true problem—the lack of subsidized spay and neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return programs—and create a subculture of people who hide in the shadows to care for feral cats.
The good news is that you can help change these backward ordinances and lead the way to bring about change in your local shelters. Grassroots organizing can be done effectively with minimal resources. Email and the internet make it cheaper and easier than ever to reach out to others who want to help animals.
Everyone in this movement makes a valuable contribution to the honorable goal of ending the unnecessary killing in shelters and providing humane care. No matter what role you fill—whether you are hands-on with cats or not—you are part of the movement if you stand up and say "no" to the killing. You can spread the word and build the movement by getting your friends, family, and neighbors involved.
Changing community policies and ordinances toward animals will ultimately give cats far greater protection than any grassroots organization or individual can provide alone. There is great legal, political, and moral strength in our standing together to say that killing cats must stop. Our government agencies must reform their policies. We, as voters and taxpayers, demand this.

This will come as some surprise, but those who write and/or comment on hockey don't always get it right.
Many pundits, including this particular ranter, believed Montreal GM Bob Gainey had missed the boat in the offseason by failing to address what appeared to be a glaring need for scoring oomph. The Canadiens, who missed the playoffs last season in large part because they couldn't score, appeared to have not kept up pace with others in the Eastern Conference.
But Montreal is off to a terrific 7-3-3 start despite a 3-2 home loss Saturday night to Toronto.
It seems Gainey's faith in his young stars -- Christopher Higgins, Tomas Plekanec and Mike Komisarek -- has been rewarded. Even enigmatic veteran Alexei Kovalev is off to a good start, with 11 points after a disappointing 2006-07 campaign.
Turns out the Habs didn't need outside help; all the help they needed was right in their own dressing room, at least so far.
We caution that Montreal was vying for first place in the Northeast Division for much of the first half of last season before falling off the map in the second half. As we also recall, that team, like the current version, boasted a top-ranked power play for much of the season.
Still, we acknowledge underestimating the Habs and what they had right in their own backyard.
Which brings us to the Vancouver Canucks, another team we took to task for failing to make any significant offseason moves.
Unlike the Habs, though, the Canucks are in a bad way. Unless GM Dave Nonis can do during the season what he failed to do over the summer, the Canucks can kiss defending their Northwest Division title, and the postseason, goodbye.
The Canucks, despite a 4-3 victory over Colorado on Saturday night, are 13th in the Western Conference at 6-8-0. As of Monday morning, they were tied with Dallas with 12 points, but were just two points ahead of the co-cellar dwellers, Edmonton and Phoenix.
After a surprising second-half burst that saw them seize the Northwest crown last season and advance to the second round of the playoffs, the Canucks' strategy seemed to be: "Wake us when next season starts." But the strategy assumed a replication of netminder Roberto Luongo's other worldly ways of a season ago, when he was nominated for both the Vezina and Hart Trophies.
As it turns out, Luongo is human (5-8-0, 2.93 goals-against average and .899 save percentage). Unfortunately for the Canucks, a just-human Luongo apparently isn't going to cut it.
The team has been hammered by injuries, especially to its blue line, on which Sami Salo and Kevin Bieksa are out. And although there have been some offensive contributions outside of twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin, there seems to be little in the way of leadership capable of pulling the Canucks out of their funk.
Curiously, the Canucks boast a solid 5-2 road record, but they cannot win in Vancouver, where they are 1-6-0 and tied with Phoenix for the league's worst home record. Such disparity in success is generally a sign of a team that is without a clue in terms of its identity. Coach Alain Vigneault has already called out his veterans, including rock-solid defenseman Willie Mitchell, always a dangerous thing to do before the season is a month old.
The Canucks could certainly use a player like Peter Forsberg (see below), but even though fellow Swede Markus Naslund is there, the Canucks hardly look like a team that will draw Foppa to town. Indeed, as the season moves along, it's entirely possible Naslund, along with other veterans, will be offered up as trade-deadline bait.
We acknowledge that free-agent signings aren't the panacea the media often makes them out to be. But if there ever was a team that looked like it could use some outside help to prevent a letdown, it was the Vancouver Canucks.
And the proof is in the standings.
Slap Shots
Good Week
Chris Osgood. Go figure. The goalie, who looked to be in semi-retirement when he returned to Detroit after the lockout by backing up Manny Legace and then Dominik Hasek, won four games last week to run his season record to 7-0-0. In beating San Jose, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary, Osgood allowed five goals on 83 shots. He continues to shoulder the netminding load for the red-hot Red Wings while Hasek recuperates from a hip injury. Often maligned as one of the most ordinary of goaltenders to win a Stanley Cup (he was the man when the Wings won their second of back-to-back Cups in 1998), Osgood has matured into a terrific backup, a great team guy and someone who continues to show he can deliver the goods.
Bad Week
The Dallas Stars not only managed to lose three straight home games last week, they managed to get blown out 5-0 by Phoenix (tied for last in the Western Conference) after dropping a 5-4 decision to upstart Chicago. They began the week with a 4-2 loss to San Jose. The Stars figured to have trouble scoring this season (as of Sunday they were 22nd in the league in goals per game), but they didn't figure to have trouble keeping the puck out of their net (they are 16th in the goals-allowed department). The Dallas Morning News reported the Stars were still upbeat and positive after the loss to Phoenix. But this week will be a test of the team's resolve; the Stars hits the road for four straight Pacific Division contests.
Stuck In Neutral
Guess the Buffalo Sabres really do miss Chris Drury and Daniel Briere. A team that led essentially from wire to wire last season en route to its first Presidents' Trophy has been unable to get out of first gear. Actually, the Sabres can't even get into first gear, which is part of the problem. In eight of 12 games, they have allowed the first goal. Their record in those games is 4-4-0; but for a team that is used to forcing competitors out of their game plan by opening up leads, the Sabres have yet to get on track. Last in the Northeast Division with a 5-6-1 record, Buffalo begins a string of nine straight games against division foes Monday night vs. Montreal.
Our top story lines of the week
1. NHL GMs will be watching closely to see how Forsberg fares in his first competitive hockey of the season, playing for Sweden in the Karjala Cup in Finland later this week. The tournament stands as a significant test for Forsberg, who will not commit to returning to the NHL unless his nagging foot/ankle injury is completely healed. If he plays well, it will start what expects to be a significant bidding war among as many as eight or 10 NHL teams for the talented center's services. If, however, the 34-year-old unrestricted free agent falters, it may signal the end of the daily "Which team will he pick?" rumors for the foreseeable future, perhaps even for the entire season.
2. The New York Islanders -- a team that again refuses to stay at the bottom of the standings where most prognosticators (this one included) believe they belong -- will be waiting on pins and needles for a prognosis on Rick DiPietro. The team's top netminder suffered an eye injury in Saturday's come-from-behind win over Pittsburgh. DiPietro was inadvertently slashed under his mask by Sidney Crosby, who drew a double-minor for high sticking. DiPietro did not return and is expected to be re-evaluated Monday. The incident marred what was otherwise a banner night for Al Arbour, who returned to the Islanders bench for one game, his 1,500th as an NHL coach. Many members of the Islanders 1980s dynasty were on hand and the evening turned out to be a celebration of one of the game's mightiest franchises. The Isles, by the way, woke up Sunday with a 7-4-0 record, sixth in the Eastern Conference.
3. To mutilate a line from The Clash, does Don stay or does he go, now? The Atlanta Thrashers are one of the screwiest teams in the NHL. They drop six straight games to open the season, leading to the dismissal of coach Bob Hartley. GM Don Waddell takes over while he searches for a successor and the Thrashers go 5-3 since. After trailing 4-1 midway through the second period, they blew past Tampa Bay, 6-4, on Saturday night. They nearly posted a similar comeback against Ottawa on Thursday, falling behind 5-0 before nearly tying the game late in the going. They are still prone to wild defensive lapses, but Ilya Kovalchuk (six goals, seven points in the past two games) is on fire. So, what does Waddell do? Part of the problem facing the only GM the team has ever known is the Thrashers pretty much have to make the playoffs if Waddell has any hope of keeping his job. Will ownership allow him to hire a coach long-term if they figure they'll have a new GM by the start of next season? And what coach will come in to this situation without at least a little security? Given all that, don't look for any change behind Atlanta's bench in the short-term, if at all.
4. While all of Silicon Valley waits breathlessly for Jeremy Roenick to hit the magic 500-goal mark (he scored No. 499, the game-winner Saturday night against Los Angeles), another interesting story line centers on the fortunes of Sandis Ozolinsh. The talented, troubled defenseman, who was selected by the Sharks with the 30th overall pick in the 1991 draft, rejoined the club last week. The Sharks (7-6-1 after Saturday) lead the Pacific Division, but haven't really hit their stride. Ozolinsh, who has battled off-ice problems, including a stint in the NHL's substance abuse and behavioral health program, has averaged 20:17 a night in his two games since returning to action last week, and it appears Ron Wilson is going to give the Latvian lots of room to prove himself.
5. We couldn't let this one pass. We always enjoy the rantings of the language fanatics in Quebec, especially when it comes to hockey. Last spring, it was Quebec politicians complaining that all-around good guy Shane Doan was named captain of Canada's World Championship team. This past week, it was Quebec lawyer and political gadfly Guy Bertrand complaining that Montreal captain Saku Koivu had insulted French Canadians by introducing his teammates in a taped address before the Habs' home opener in English only. True, there are language laws that many in the bilingual province hold near and dear. But this is the same Koivu who has battled cancer and a serious eye injury and remains one of the team's most dynamic players. He is a player who gives tirelessly of himself in the community and is one of the most respected Montreal captains of all time. And he has to put up with this? How do you say "Get a life" in French?

Prisoners 'must work harder' for privileges
30 April 2013 Last updated at 13:58 BST
Male prisoners in England and Wales must work harder for privileges such as TVs in cells, the government has said.
Inmates will be made to wear a uniform during their first two weeks in jail and their access to private cash to call home will be restricted.
Satellite and cable TV channels, currently available in some private prisons, will be banned altogether.
Tom Symonds reports.

Parking is competitive. If you get an RH pass (maybe 25% of students do?), you can park very close to your dorm. These run about $300 I believe. Otherwise, you can hope for an RO pass, which is about a 5 min walk if you live in the Village, or a 30 min walk if you live in the Hill. These are about $200? There are also a couple other passes for farther off campus. A shuttle can take you from your dorm to RO, but you have to wait for it.Auburn is VERY strict about enforcing parking rules and is not at all hesitant to hand out tickets. You also have to move your car on game-day, so that's inconvenient and an easy way to get a ticket. Watch out.
It's hard to get a permit, and even harder to find a spot. Students who live on campus get better parking - the further from campus your dorm is, the better the parking. Parking services are the worst though. They give out so many tickets.
There is a lot of walking done on campus, but when you come on your tour you find that out. Parking tickets are expensive so always park in your zone.
There is not nearly enough parking on or near campus!! It is what I am most frustrated about my college.
So I don't have a car here and I'm kind of glad I don't. It's such a hassle. Parking permits are way overpriced and the Auburn traffic cops should probably be ranked best in the nation at giving tickets. Literally you'll park in the wrong spot for five minutes and you'll already have a ticket. I don't know how their so on top of their jobs, but it's incredible. You don't need a car to get around on campus, but I sometimes wish I had one so I had the opportunity of going farther off campus than just downtown Auburn.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
One of the worst aspects of going to college at Auburn is the parking situation. There has been an uphill battle going on between the students and administration for years about the lack of parking on campus. The administration has been working to improve the Transit system to make it faster and more convenient for students to ride. If you live on campus, then you can always walk or bike to class.
In years to come, Auburn will eventually be turned into a walking campus. As for right now, if you choose to drive to class, then just make sure you leave in plenty of time. Professors rarely excuse tardiness just because you couldn't find a parking space.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a protein that controls many tumor-promoting processes. It is over-activated in multiple cancer types including breast cancer, particularly triple negative breast cancers (TNBC). Anti-EGFR drugs have been approved for the treatment of some types of cancers. While they have not been effective against breast cancer in clinical trials, some patients do respond. Thus, it is extremely important to be able to identify which patients with EGFR-overexpressing breast cancer will respond to anti-EGFR drugs. Dr. Hung's laboratory previously identified an enzyme, PRMT1, that modifies EGFR through a process called methylation, and they have shown that higher levels of PRMT1 enhance resistance of breast cancer cell to anti-EGFR therapy in laboratory experiments. In colon cancer patients receiving the anti-EGFR drug cetuximab (the drug is not approved for breast cancer, so the investigators looked at tumors from colon cancer patients), higher levels of methylated EGFR correlated with higher recurrence rate after treatment. Based on these findings, Dr. Hung and his colleagures are working to intiate a clinical trial that will select breast cancer patients with EGFR positive tumors where the EGFR gene does not have the methylation marker and treat these patients with cetuximab. They predict that these patients would have a better response rate to cetuximab and that this new biomarker may help to accelerate FDA approval of cetuximab for breast cancer.
Mien-Chie Hung, PhD is the Vice President for Basic Research, and Professor and Chair of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and a basic scientist with a translational vision. Dr. Hung is a Program Leader for MDACC CCSG "Cell Biology and Signal Transduction" program. Since 2008, he has been Director of the Center for Biological Pathways at MDACC to coordinate biological pathway studies in cancers throughout the institution. Dr. Hung is internationally recognized for his work on signaling transduction pathways of tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors and targeted therapies for breast cancer. His group made a critical breakthrough in showing that the transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor EGFR can translocate into the nucleus from the cell surface to stimulate cell proliferation and to induce resistance to anti-cancer therapy. This paradigm-shifting concept revolutionizes cell biology of the receptor tyrosine kinase and paves a new avenue for designing next generation of anti-cancer therapy. He has published nearly 400 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Hung was inducted as an Academician of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan (2002) and a Member of the University of Texas Academy of Health Science Education (2006). In addition, he is a Member of the Scientific Advisory Council for Susan G. Komen and Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2010), as well as recipient of the Presidential Award of Society of Chinese Bioscientists in America and The University of Texas MDACC LeMaistre Outstanding Achievement Award (2011).

uis' place is just wonderful, right in the heart of historical Cordoba. It's clean and comfortable, just as described in his posting and the photos are truly accurate. The private courtyard is just so lovely as is the entry to his place with another courtyard to cross. Since our visit was in early March, we made good use of the heater provided and all was nice and warm. We would definetely stay there again. Thank you so much!
Nicely welcomed by his assistant Eva. Great to have a parking space not far away. Nice appartment with little patio. Not big nor luxury but good enough for a couple. Everything in walking distance. We enjoyed our stay!
The apartment is very well located to explore this amazing beautiful city. We were met by Manuel and the introduction to the apartment went smoothly.
A positive point is that the apartment is on the ground floor with an attractive patio entrance and is easy to relax in. After returning after a day out, there is some mustiness about the place. However opening the courtyard door freshens the air!
It represents good value for the price paid.
Luis has a nice apartment, good located and exactly as described. Luis assistant Manuel has helped us with our luggage - a very friendly offer! Thank you. If you come with car you can park in a car park just a few minutes away. Overall the property is very good value for the money, fully recommendable!
The time in the apartment was really great and Luis was very helpfull and his service is very comfortable! He helped us to find our purse after we lost it on the way to the apartment in a taxi. The apartment was clean and sweet and we had everything we needed!
Perfectly located, a pretty courtyard with friendly neighbours (who can be loud, but hey, it's Spain after all :) ) and a very helpful Manuel who helped us carry the luggage (as private cars aren't allowed in the old town). A great stay overall, on the downside the place smells a bit of humidity (it is, after all, an old town). Thanks a lot!
Très bel appartement, luxueux, confortable et très bien situé au centre-ville.
L'appartement est bien divisé et le quartier est tranquille avec un accès facile
aux restos et épicerie.
Malgré son absence (en vacances), Luis a été en contact régulier avec nous et communiqué plein d'information. Il a délégué Manuel qui nous très bien accueillis.
Le nombre de couteaux/fourchettes était un peu juste. Les chaises de la salle à manger ont bien besoin d'être solidifiées (recollées).
Estancia magnífica con todo tipo de detalles incluidos parking.
Ideal para descansar y desconectar
Appartement central, calme et confortable. Très bon accueil et suivi pendant le séjour. Adresses de restaurants à disposition : c'est super.
El apartamento maravilloso, el edificio también. En el centro de Córdoba, a un paso de todo. Aunque a Luis no lo conocimos, su ayudante Manuel fue muy amable y ofreciéndonos todo tipo de información. Repetiremos sin duda.

Patient Comments: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) - Symptoms
What symptoms did you experience with polycystic ovarian syndrome?
Comment from: Jenn, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: April 22
I have had PCOS for the past 10 years and didn't even know it until two years ago. I have always had irregular periods, but they never lasted more than seven days. All of a sudden in September of 2008, I noticed excessive hair growth on my face, and I had debilitating cramps. They were so bad that I went to the hospital because we thought I was miscarrying or something. They did an ultrasound and found five fibroids about the size of oranges, dosed me up with morphine for the pain, and sent me home. I was in shock when my period just didn't stop. I had a full blown period for more than six months and went to the doctor several times but all they would tell me is I was fat and needed to lose weight. One day I was looking for some vitamins in a health food store for my mother, and I saw a brand called WomenSense. I told the lady at the register that I had fibroid tumors and she suggested three vitamins that helped her and gave me the name of her doctor who was the one to finally diagnose me. Since then, I now take Adrenasense, Thyrosense, and Estrosense and have been watching my diet and exercising four times a week. My periods were regulated in the first two months of taking the vitamins and the doctor hasn't had to put me on any meds at all. Please give these vitamins a chance! They have saved my sanity!
Comment from: miracle mom, 45-54 Female Published: February 10
At 16 I had severe cramping and heavy irregular periods, at 17 my doctor put me on birth control and periods got better but I was in agony every month at the time I should be ovulating. Stopped taking pills. At 18 I was so ill I couldn't hardly get out of bed and on day 4 of this is when my mom rushed me to emergency because I couldn't even crawl to the bathroom, couldn't eat or drink because I couldn't keep anything down. A scope showed a mess of infection throughout my abdominal cavity. A large cyst had ruptured and pretty much everything was glued together with the infection. After being released from the hospital they said it was my choice to have surgery or not, I chose not. Still no firm diagnosis. At 19 one sudden jump caused another to burst. Immediately rushed to emergency and went for the surgery, I couldn't take being in pain every month. They removed pretty much all of one ovary; they left a "wisp" for hormones and half of my other ovary. They told my parents I probably would never have children. Well that was 32 years ago, I am sure PCOS was not "discovered" at that point. I have 5 children all conceived naturally and I consider myself lucky, but when a doctor tells me that something was never going to happen. I have a hard time believing that! I kept my pathology report so in case any of my daughters have any issues we have a history. It helps things move along faster.
Comment from: 19-24 Female (Caregiver) Published: August 13
My wife had pcos for 3 years. She will get periods only when she will take tablets. Otherwise she won't get periods. Sometimes she won't get periods for 6-7 months. We got married 2 months ago. Is it possible 4 my wife to get pregnant with pcos or after the cure of pcos. Please suggest an idea for her to get rid of pcos. She is getting depressed because of pcos.
Comment from: 25-34 Female Published: July 17
I am was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome when I was 14. I had random periods that were always horrible and heavy. I developed hair growth on my face and body along with weight gain. The only thing I didn't get was acne. I worked off the excess weight and watch my caffine and salt in take because I have noticed it causes my body to cramp worse.. That's all I have been able to control naturally. I have had 2 different laproscopic surgeries for either cysts rupturing or removal of cysts on my ovaries. I am now 31 I have learned that every case is different. I haven't found any over the counter meds that help. I have taken everything from Estrogen tablets to Glucophage to the depo provera shots and nothing has helped. I only ovulate 4 times a year where as normal females ovulate 12. I have inherited the pcos from my mother side of the family. I am the youngest of 3 girls and I am the only one that it has hit out of my siblings. In my personal trials with polycystic ovarian syndrome it has been debilitating mentally and physically and emotionally. I really think that more research needs to be founded in this area. I and my family have thought that maybe that a hysterectomy would help so I talked it over with my Doctor and it was explained to me that, In the pain and period part of my pcos it would help. But in long term effect it would not help hormonally and put me at more risk for Cancer. So after that I'm thinking about getting a second opinion about the surgery. I have felt so bad for so long.. I will not give up Hope that there is help out there somewhere..
Comment from: qurat, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: April 05
I am 26 years old, married and have been trying to conceive. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with PCOS, although I have no signs or symptoms. I've had two cycles of Clomid – but so far, no result.

WASHINGTON – Four federal agencies are launching a new website today to highlight the increased role the U.S. is playing in addressing 21st century urbanization, housing and sustainability issues facing the nations of the world. The White House Office of Urban Affairs, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture launched the interagency website featuring World Urban Forum (WUF) roundtable discussions, web chats, presentations, and workshops at www.hud.gov/wuf.
Organized by the United Nations' Human Settlement Programme (UN-Habitat), the WUF will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from March 22 – 26. Every two years this world forum is dedicated to examining the most pressing problems related to urban issues.
HUD Secretary, and head of the U.S. delegation, Shaun Donovan said, "This is a time of great challenge and great opportunity when it comes to addressing the next generation of housing and sustainability issues facing the nations of the world. Though we may have competing interests, it is possible to work as one to steer toward housing solutions that offer all of us a more inclusive, sustainable, and greener world."
"The rapid rate of urbanization is a key factor in global stability and growth. At the World Urban Forum, we will address the range of crucial human security issues associated with this significant demographic transition" said Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs María Otero.
"Last year, President Obama called on every nation to share responsibility for creating global solutions to global challenges," said Adolfo Carrión, Jr., Director of the White House Office of Urban Affairs and Deputy Assistant to the President. "We can no longer afford to confront 21st Century urban challenges with a 20th Century vision. We need to address urban development to reflect the way people live and will live, both in the United States and around the world."
The new interagency website also emphasizes the Obama Administration's focus on addressing challenges collaboratively amongst agencies. The site will be used by the U.S. WUF Delegation to publicize U.S. initiatives on urban development, give the public open access to information on the U.S. government's international agenda/outreach efforts and engage with the public through the use of social media tools such as blogs and social network sites.

My name is Katie. I am going to cut and paste my intro from the TTC board so I don't have to type it over hehe. So here's a bit about me and my family:
:wavehello: I used to frequent these forums and was an active member during the pregnancies for my two sons, but I have been away for a while. Between working full-time and in school full-time, I got way too bogged down. I am 28 years old and my husband, Ying-Ta is 30. We have two boys from my previous marriage; Rowan is six and Cole Liam is three. We have wanted to have a third child for quite some time and have been actively trying for about five months now. I am from Virginia originally, although I have been in Maryland ever since I have been out of the Army. Ying-Ta was also in the Army, although that is not where we met. My husband and I met a few years ago at the hospital where we both work. I work in Pathology and he works in Biomedical Engineering. Ying-Ta also grew up in Virginia, but his background is very different from my own. His parents moved to the U.S. from Taiwan when he was very young. His parents speak only Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese (with the exception of a few bits of English that they have dusted off and use for the sake of my being able to understand the conversation). His parents are very loving and welcoming (we haven't told them yet about the baby, so I am still nervous about that part). I guess that about sums up the basics about our little patchwork family.
On August 9th, I got a BFP! I kinda tested on a whim since I wasn't even due for AF for another five days, but it was strongly positive. I was so shocked I almost passed out and had to sit down on the bathroom floor to avoid the wobbly legs giving out on me. DH was knocking on the door asking me if I was alright and I couldn't even talk. I finally let him in and I pointed to the counter where the two dark pink lines were clearly visible. He goes "Is that...?" and I nodded, and he goes "Does that mean...?" to which I nodded again. He finally looks up and grins and says "Oh my God! I am a Dad!". I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke test (lol - does everyone do this or am I the only one who is this ridiculous?) so we went to the store after dinner and bought a different brand and tried again. Same results.
So, I am here and I am praying that this is the real deal. I have had two miscarriages in the past, my first pregnancy and the one in between my two DS's. I am waiting with baited breath for the next couple of months, but I am making a doctor's appt. today. I think we will wait to tell the extended family for a while. If, God forbid, something does happen, the last thing I want is to be visiting with them and know what is on everyone's minds when they look at me. That's the only thing keeping my excitement in check right now, otherwise I'd be shouting it out at work and everywhere haha!
As an aside note, I thought this forum would be bustling right now. It is super quiet. I hope things pick up soon. This place was a busy wonderland for moms to be when I was here for my two previous pregnancies. Hopefully it will become that again! Can't wait to meet other April moms! Ttys!
BFP and Due April 22nd!!!
My name is Katie. I am going to cut and paste my intro from the TTC board so I don't have to type it over hehe. So here's a bit about me and my family:
So excited for you!!! Congratulations!
Thank you Susan! Congrats to you as well! ^_^
Congrats Katie! Wishing you a hh9m's. I know the boards are very different from when I was first here with my two sons.
Thanks Jenny! I noticed that your second DS was born in 2009, as was mine. What Month? Cole was born in December of '09.
Congrates on your BFP!
Katie my son was born in June 09
Thanks everyone!!!
Jenny: Ahh okay - you were way ahead of me on that one then. Your username sounded very familiar.
congrats!! hh9m (:
Congrats Katie!!!

Baked Tilapia Amandine
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 25 mins
Most of the amandine recipes posted here are fried, but this one is baked. The fish also gets a little extra flavor from the creole seasoning. Recipe is from the Clinton High School Booster's Club, in Clinton, MS.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6 tilapia fillets (about 2 lbs)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons creole seasoning
- 1⁄2 cup almonds, sliced
- Combine the melted butter and lemon juice in a shallow dish. Dip the fish fillets in the butter mixture, and place in an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the fillets evenly with the Creole seasoning. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the fillets with the sliced almonds, and bake an addtional 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily. (Cooking time varies with the thickness of your fish).
Most Helpful
Stuck to the tilapia, but I so wanted to use this method on a fresh catch of trout given to me by my son. Me, all I ever catch are a bunch of hardheads. Great dish!
I used Cajun seasoning instead It was very tasty. I'll definately make it again
This was delicious! I always love lemon juice on my tilapia, so this was no exception to the rule. And I think the almonds made a nice crunchy touch to the fish.

Caking of fertilizers is an important problem both to manufacturers and users. Manufacturers must recycle the caked fertilizer to the process resulting in an extra cost and users may have difficulties during the application of the fertilizer to the soil. In the first part of this study major factors which influence caking of a commercial grade calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) fertilizer were investigated with a laboratory caking apparatus kept in a controlled atmosphere. It was observed that the caking tendency of CAN fertilizer increases almost linearly with pressure exerted on the fertilizer and with moisture content of the fertilizer at a temperature of 35 °C. The results indicate that the phase transition of ammonium nitrate between crystalline forms IV and III plays a significant role in caking of CAN since caking tendency is greatly reduced below the phase transition temperature which occurs at about 32 °C. In the second part of the study, the effectiveness of some coating materials to reduce the caking tendency of CAN fertilizer were tested. Among the materials tested, kieselguhr gave the most satisfactory result under the experimental conditions employed.

Loading Nails.These tools load in one of two ways: load the nails first, then retract the follower to catch them; or, retract the follower first, then load nails. I like the former because it can save a step: If you forget to pull the follower back (OK, so I forget sometimes), you don't have to remove the already loaded nails to engage the follower. The Craftsman, DeWalt, Hitachi, Makita, Porter-Cable, Senco, and Stanley-Bostitch let you load first. The ISM, Max, and Spotnails require pulling the follower back before loading the nails.
Collation Angle.It's important, obviously, to have access to a steady stream of the correct nails. The tools tested use two different nail types: The Makita and Stanley-Bostitch call for a 25-degree collation angle, which I found interchangeable between nailers. All the other tools used the 34-degree collation. Other than the fact that the 25-degree tools hold about 25 more nails than the 34-degree tools, I did not find one angle or nail notably better than the other, nor did I have problems finding nails at my suppliers.
Jam Clearing. None of the tools in the group were prone to jamming, which was nice. But it happens from time to time. Nine of the 10 tools in the group provideaccess to the drive shaft by releasing a lever-lock on the nosepiece, which exposes the drive pin and the jammed nail. Of these tools, I found the Craftsman, DeWalt, Hitachi, Makita, and Senco had the easiest lever to operate. The hand pressure needed to release these latches was minimal, yet they closed securely and I wasn't worried about them coming loose in use. With the Porter-Cable, Max, and Spotnails, I felt like I had to fight to open the tool and then to close it after clearing the jammed nail. All three worked fine, they just required more effort. The ISM was frustrating because it has no real lever, and I had to pry it open with a tool.
The best jam-clearing mechanism belongs to the Stanley-Bostitch nailer. The tool's removable nail slide is remarkably easy to operate and lets you see the entire drive pin. I really like this feature and think it sets a higher standard for the category because the ability to have such a clear and open view makes it easier to grab the jam. With the other tools, you still have to fight with the push lever and blade guide to pull nails free.
The Max has a trigger-lock switch, which is handy for certain sites.

Hitachi's select-fire switch is great: Flip one way to bump-fire, the other to single-fire.

text: Hello.. I've been trying to get my tiny mind around making SEO happen on my site http://www.apetronic.com and I'm not really getting it. I've installed the Yoast plugin and it appears to be working.. I guess. When I look at the SEO status thing (little red dots next to my posts) it seems to be indicating that it's not rating well at all. I haven't ticked title settings within the host settings as I'm scaresd that I'll break it.. in fact, I have zero, followed by many other zero clues as to what I'm doing in there. Would anyone be able to point me towards some sort of SEO for dummies thing on youtube.. or maybe look at my site and let me know if that's possible, and maybe determine what I can do.. I really am mentally deficient in the world of SEO (amongst many other areas).

It Has Begun…
Oh, joy: the South Dakota House has passed a bill that would effectively ban abortion in the state.
According to the Associated Press, proposed exceptions for rape, incest, and health issues were rejected, and the bill now proceeds to the South Dakota Senate.
As the AP writes, "Supporters are pushing the measure in hopes of drawing a legal challenge that will cause the US Supreme Court to reverse its 1973 decision legalizing abortion."
Full story here.
