The U.S. is experiencing one of the worst droughts in its history. More than
1,000 counties, in states stretching from Florida to Oregon and even including
Hawaii, have declared states of disaster. The drought has impacted farmlands,
water reserves and has created conditions which are conducive to disaster,
including wildfires like those which raged uncontrollably in Colorado in June
and July. Even though the fires are now relatively under control or extinguished
outright, a state of fear reigned just a few short weeks ago.
Near Colorado Springs, the Waldo Canyon Fire was a disaster of massive
proportions, consuming several thousand acres of woodlands and driving residents
and companion animals from their homes. Adding to the heartbreak, many dogs and
cats were separated from their pet parents in the fiery maelstrom.
In times of great need, however, heroes arise to help save the day. That's why
it brings us such immense pleasure to relay the story of All Breed Rescue &
Training, an animal rescue organization that took extraordinary measures to care
for pets displaced by the Waldo Canyon Fire.
As uncertainty about the economy lingers, the pace of pet abandonment is on
the rise. Largely attributable to the collapse of the housing market in 2007,
the effects of which continue to ripple through our economy, nearly every state
has seen a dramatic increase in the number of homeless animals. During this
short time frame, tens of thousands of companion animals have been surrendered
to rescue organizations, or worse, simply abandoned, left to fend for
You've probably read some of the heartrending stories: dogs left behind,
locked in foreclosed homes; a box of kittens dumped in a community park; and
families facing homelessness themselves surrendering to a shelter all of their
pets in a moment of heartbreak. The problem is so severe that some shelters have
exhausted their resources and are forced to refuse new intakes.
As a society of pet lovers, this represents an unprecedented situation in
most of our lifetimes. Now, more than ever, homeless pets need our help.
Many of us want to provide assistance, but don't know the best way to make a
difference. Fortunately, there are five ways to reach out and make a difference
to pets in need. More...
On the outskirts of Westby, a sparsely populated, rural town in Western
Wisconsin, lies one of America's great treasures … Tabby Town USA, a small
animal rescue group that brings solace to the forgotten.
Founded by Marie and Ted Glover in 2003 after adopting an injured cat, Tabby
Town now provides shelter and care for up to 80 kittens and cats on any given
day. Currently, the majority of their feline community is housed under the
Glover's roof, with two floors, multiple bedrooms, vertical lofts and a lovely
sunroom. While most of their cats were abandoned, they've also saved kitties
that were slated for euthanasia at local shelters. More...
The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation has made fresh inroads to making the
world a better place for senior citizens and senior dogs.
Our charitable non-profit has awarded a financial grant to the National Brittany
Rescue and Adoption Network (NBRAN), a dedicated organization devoted to saving
the lives of abandoned American Brittanies both in the U.S. and Canada. A
network of foster-care volunteers, NBRAN is comprised of individuals who work
passionately on behalf of this lovable breed.
Once referred to as "Brittany Spaniels", Britts are known to retain their
puppy-like enthusiasm regardless of age. Great family dogs, they tend to be
gentle, yet active, and are widely recognized for their good humor. More...
We're nearly midway through 2010, and we'd like to take this opportunity to share
the progress made by the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation thus far into 2010.
While we have highlighted some of the caring animal rescue agencies who have received
financial awards this year, many more grants have been awarded.
Before we convey some of the details about these worthy organizations, we want
to thank you for all that you've done to support our foundation. Even if you have
never made a donation directly to the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation, if you
have ever purchased any of our products, you have contributed to its reserves and
thus helped animals in need. And for that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
As you've probably noted, the vast majority of the animal rescue groups selected
for our grants are small non-profits who typically operate on shoestring budgets.
In many cases, the only assets these heart-full groups have are the people dedicated
to aiding homeless and abused companion animals. Frequently located in small communities,
these affiliations fulfill a vital need in under-served areas of the U.S. Not only
do they accomplish so much with so few resources, they work every day to relieve
suffering and enrich their communities. More...
The old adage that "good things come in small packages" couldn't be truer with
regards to the lively, lovable Dachshund, affectionately referred to collectively
as "doxies". Although it's hard to imagine anyone abandoning one of these clever little canines, sadly it happens all too often. Fortunately, the Dachshund
Rescue South Florida is committed to rescuing Dachshunds, giving them a chance to
live better lives. That's why we are so pleased to report that The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet
Foundation has granted a financial award to this worthy organization to help them
cover the costs of much-needed veterinary services.
Dachshund Rescue views any successful animal rescue as one with the "patience
and understanding" to oversee all of the steps of adoption, in order to give dogs
a "second chance at a wonderful life". And they have done more than just give Dachshunds
a fighting chance; in fact, in their first two years of operation, they have saved
the lives of over 200 doxies! More...
We are so pleased to bring you the news that The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation
has granted a financial award to Golden Rescue South Florida. This award will be
used to help rescued Golden Retrievers receive the veterinary treatment they need
and deserve.
The dedicated people at Golden Rescue South Florida truly have a heart of gold.
They believe that all animals are part of a sacred creation and should never be
treated as "commodities, things or garbage". They are a can-do group of people and
work tirelessly to improve the lives of Goldens and other rescued dogs. More...
The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation takes pride in the hard work of all its
grant recipients, but the Palmetto Animal League (PAL) represents the best and noblest
of rescue enterprises. PAL boasts a remarkable success rate of placement – nearly
100% – with the average time a pet is fostered at less than four months. In the
true spirit of caring, nurturing and rescue, they work to avoid euthanasia at all
costs. To their minds, there is no other option than to keep a dog or a cat as long
as it takes to find them a forever home.
This is Bailey, a high-energy two-year-old boxermix.
A private non-profit, the PAL organization has operated most of its 30 years
using a network of volunteer foster families. Now, however, they are slowly transferring
to the nearly completed construction of their first facility, the PAL's Adoption
Center. More...
We're pleased to bring you news of another financial award made by The Dr.
Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation, this time to a courageous organization of
homeless animal rescuers in Maryland.
Founded in 2003, HART for Animals seeks to become "a model for compassionate
animal rescue". We feel that they've done a commendable job organizing
individual volunteers who specialize in placing animals abandoned at local
shelters with foster parents until forever homes can be located. By taking in
pets from the Garrett County Animal Shelter and the Garrett County Humane
Society, they have saved hundreds of animals who otherwise would probably have
been euthanized. Further, HART oversees the transfer of homeless dogs and cats
from areas of low inhabitance to more populous cities in an effort to increase
the likelihood of long-term adoption. More...
Thanks to The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation, an English Bulldog will enjoy
shelter and quality medical care until he can be adopted into a loving, forever
Our charitable non-profit's latest financial award has been given to the Southern
California Bulldog Rescue which is dedicated to saving the lives of abandoned Bulldogs.
Providing safe haven to these noble creatures, this rescue actively works to place
Bulldogs in new homes and covers the medical expenses for more than 200 Bulldogs
annually. Entirely funded through donations and operated by an all-volunteer network
of dedicated Bulldog lovers, SCBR makes sure that every Bulldog that comes their
way is cared for responsibly.
Officially in the non-sporting group, Bulldogs were once bred to be very aggressive
to bait bulls and fight other dogs. Thankfully, this breed has been transformed
through many decades of refinement and nurturing, and now most Bulldogs are friendly
and eager to please. More...

Eagle Police were notified May 30 that a donation jar at a local church had been stolen.
A church volunteer told officers that she went to pick up the jar, which was full of coins, after a Sunday service and discovered that it was missing. She asked people around the church if they had noticed anything, but no one reported any unusual activity.
The donation jar was a one gallon glass container nearly filled with change. The volunteer estimated there could be $400 to $500 worth of coins in the jar, based on previous collection amounts.
Eagle Police sent out a request to City Market to see if the store's loss prevention officer could look through previous surveillance tapes to see if there were any suspicious customers using the coin-counting machine at the store around the time of the theft.
An Eagle woman contacted police last week when she became suspicious of an Internet loan service.
The woman reported she had contacted an Internet company to inquire about obtaining a loan. A man who identified himself as a company representative then called her and said if she sent $125 via Western Union to a person in India, the company would send her a $900 cash loan. She then received another call from a "company representative" who said due to taxes, she needed to send an additional $122 before the $900 loan would be sent.
The woman told police she sent both payments, but when she called the number she was instructed to call, the company did not answer the phone. She told officers that she had filled out forms on the company website and provided information including her bank account numbers, social security number and other personal data.
Eagle Police researched the number the woman provided and discovered complaints from several consumers who did not receive promised loan money after they had sent payments to India. Police reported those findings to the local woman.
During the past several weeks, a number of items have been turned into Eagle Police including:
• A FirstBank debit card. When contacted, the owner noted it has been missing for weeks and that he had replaced it. The owner instructed police to destroy the card.
• A Colorado license plate registered to a local construction company.
• A Santa Cruz skateboard, near Eagle Town Park.

MARIETTA - There will be hundreds of items up for grabs when the doors to EVE Inc.'s annual auction open at 6 p.m. Friday at the at the Lafayette Hotel, but if attendees want to get a sneak peak at some of the offerings beforehand, they need only take a stroll by the window display at Peoples Bank on Second Street in downtown Marietta.
"We just decorated the Peoples Bank window with a lot of the items so people can come see what's being auctioned," said EVE Inc. board member Sharon Coffman.
Local businesses and individuals have donated a variety of items for the fundraiser - from tickets to professional baseball games and golf packages to jewelry and handmade pottery.

Robin Bozian, EVE Inc. board member and co-chair of the annual EVE auction, inspects a window display at Peoples Bank of dozens of the items to be auctioned off at the event, which will be held Friday at the Lafayette Hotel.
"We always try to have our auction designed in such a way so that everybody could find something they love," said EVE Inc. board member and auction co-chair Robin Bozian.
The annual auction is the largest community fundraiser of the year for EVE Inc., which provides shelter, transitional housing, counseling and more for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Many items will be sold during a silent auction that takes place from 6-7 p.m. Friday at the Lafayette. Larger items, such as a week stay at a two-bedroom condominium in North Carolina, will be bid on during the live auction starting at 8:30 p.m. Friday, said Bozian.
Fact Box
If You Go
* What: EVE auction.
* When: Friday; Silent auction, 6 p.m.; Live auction, 8:30 p.m.
* Where: Lafayette Hotel, 101 Front St., Marietta.
* Why: To raise funds for EVE Inc.'s discretionary funds, for matching grants and client and shelter needs.
* Tickets: $20 per person, $175 for table of 10; call (740) 374-5820; tickets also sold at the door on the night of event.
A week stay at a different North Myrtle Beach condominium will also be raffled off during the event. Tickets are $10 a piece and are limited to 100, said board member and auction co-chair Molly Varner.
Last year, the organization raised around $24,000 at the auction, Varner said.
The organization makes good use of a variety of grant funding. But one reason the money from the auction is so important is that unlike grant funding, the money raised locally is not earmarked for a specific purpose, said Bozian.
"A lot of times, a grant can only be used to pay for a specific thing. What's nice about this money is we can use it wherever we need it, whether it be for utilities or supplies, or whatever else a grant might not cover," she said.
In addition, the money earned at the auction helps EVE receive grants that require matching funds.
"We can at least usually triple and sometimes quadruple the money earned here through grants," said Varner.
The organization operates on a $500,000 annual budget, she said.
A lot of local talent will be on display at the auction. A handpainted wooden box by Valerie Holley, which depicts images of Marietta in celebration of the city's 225th birthday, is one of the many items that can be seen in the Peoples Bank window display, said Varner.
"It's just gorgeous," said Varner of the box. "Local artists have just always seen this as a good cause and been very supportive."
Coffman, who loves to bake, is donating the same item she donated to last year's auction-a homemade dessert every month for a year.
"Last year's winners were sad that this was their last month," she said.
Even those who do not bid on anything can support the shelter by purchasing a ticket to the event, said Bozian.
"People can expect to see a lot of their friends and neighbors there. It's just always a good time," she said.
Tickets are $20 per person, or $175 for a table of 10. To purchase tickets or reserve a table in advance, call EVE at (740) 374-5820. Tickets will also be sold at the door the night of the auction.

After 99 Problems, Jay-Z remarked, presumably referring to the Phish scene, that "You all been hiding this from me." Jay-Z then said that the members of Phish told him that if the fans made enough noise that he could play one more song, which they naturally did, hence Big Pimpin'. Prior to Hood, Trey jokingly announced an Eric Clapton guest appearance. Mike teased Entrance of the Gladiators before Hood, which was unfinished.

Nuclear plans in chaos as Iran leader flounders (Observer)
Iran's efforts to produce highly enriched uranium, the material used to make nuclear bombs, are in chaos and the country is still years from mastering the required technology. Iran's uranium enrichment programme has been plagued by constant technical problems, lack of access to outside technology and knowhow, and a failure to master the complex production-engineering processes involved. The country denies developing weapons, saying its pursuit of uranium enrichment is for energy purposes.
Despite Iran being presented as an urgent threat to nuclear non-proliferation and regional and world peace - in particular by an increasingly bellicose Israel and its closest ally, the US - a number of Western diplomats and technical experts close to the Iranian programme have told The Observer it is archaic, prone to breakdown and lacks the materials for industrial-scale production.
This is the truth, but as we all know, the truth doesn't matter. Iran is nowhere near even having the capability to make a nuclear weapon – and there is still no serious or substantial proof that they even intend to make a nuclear bomb, with their supreme religious and political leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, having declared such a development to be sinful.
By the time Iran is capable of making a nuclear weapon, years down the road, a genuine diplomatic engagement with Tehran, coupled with increasing dissatisfaction among almost every sector of Iranian society, could have long defused the artificially created tension that poisons relations today – or even led to "regime change," from within, on terms created by the Iranian people themselves, not foisted on them at the point of a gun.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
But again, none of this matters. Iran's "WMD programs," its political repression, its religious fanaticism, its "links to terrorists," even its "interference" in Iraq have absolutely nothing to do with why the Bush Faction and their Israeli outriders want to attack Iran. And no amount of reasonable argument – marshalling plain facts like those above to refute the Bushists' public justifications for conflict – will alter their course. Such arguments are premised on what is best for the common good, not only in the United States but around the world. But the gilded gangsters of the Bush Faction – as they have demonstrated in every possible way at every possible opportunity, over and over and over again for the past six years – are not interested in the common good. They are interested only in policies that they believe will enhance the power and privilege of their own elitist clique.
They have proven that they are more than willing – in fact, frothingly eager – to lie and cheat and manipulate intelligence in order to launch wars of aggression that serve the gang's interests. They have proven that they are willing to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people – to crush them like bugs under a bootheel – in order to serve the gang's interests. They have proven that they are willing to destabilize the entire world, squander the lives of their own soldiers, rob their own people blind and strip them of their ancient liberties in order to serve the gang's interest.
There is nothing – absolutely nothing – in their proven, copious, public record to indicate that they will not pursue an attack on Iran in order to serve the gang's interests. The hellstorm that will follow such a war crime – like the foreseen hellstorm that arose in the wake of the war crime in Iraq – is of no concern to them. Whatever the consequences, whatever the blowback, they will be protected from it – financially and personally, safe behind a phalanx of lifelong security, with public and private muscle at their command, and sustained by the mountains of blood money they and their corporate cohorts have mined from their wars and rumors of war.
This too is a plain fact: They will attack Iran – unless they are removed office, or else crippled by Congress and the courts, and by mass, sustained public resistance, to such an extent that they can no longer act freely. Neither of these scenarios seems likely at the moment – especially with Democrats falling all over themselves to prove they are more bellicose than the Bushists when it comes to Iran. Still, what else can we do but work to bring the truth to light and hope against hope that it will have some effect?
POSTSCRIPT: Let's add another plain fact here, one which have noted before, but bears repeating: The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, does not control Iran's armed forces. He does not control Iran's nuclear program. To be sure, he is a prating, full-of-himself religious crank like George W. Bush, but no matter how inflammatory his rhetoric (some of which has been deliberately mistranslated), even if he picked up the phone tomorrow and ordered an all-out attack on Israel or a barrage of missile strikes on American forces in Iraq or the shut-down of the Straits of Hormuz – nothing would happen. Nothing. In the Iranian system of government, he does not have the power to make any of his rhetoric regarding military and foreign policy come true. (See also: Reality and Revisionism in Iran.)
The Bush Administration knows this. The Olmert government knows this. Yet at every turn, they inflate Ahmadinejad into yet another "new Hitler" and pretend that he has dictatorial powers in Iran. But just as his predecessor, Mohammed Khatami, could not make his heartfelt rhetoric about reforming Iran come true, neither can Ahmadinejad do anything at all to actualize whatever fantasies he may mouth.
It might be worth remembering this fact in the coming weeks, as the Bush gang heats up the war fever by waving the Ahmadinejad bogeyman at every opportunity.
George W. Bush's innumerable sycopants like to potray him as a down-to-earth man of the people: a man's man, tough and fearless, a good-ole-boy...

There's No There There
I read that Observer article this morning. It's pretty groundbreaking. Also recently finished Scott Ritter's highly technical "Target Iran" (Nation Books, 2006).
It occurs to me that progressives need to acknowledge what nuclear expert Graham Allison has said: "No one in the international community doubts that Iran's hidden objective in building enrichment facilities is to build nuclear bombs."
In other words, there's no way we can prove Iran doesn't have the intention. We can only demonstrate (if not prove) that it lacks the capability. Therein lies the way to get the administration back down from an attack (possibly launched from Bulgaria and Romania, according to the latest rumors).
Attacking a country without nukes for having nukes is just setting the scene for a future nuclear terrorist attack on us.
a guest said:
The scene gets more ominous still:
A Russian envoy to Iran reportedly said yesterday that Russia plans to move ahead with Iran's Bushehr reactor project and that Bushehr will be completed on schedule in August of this year. The same fellow also called upon the U.S. to clarify the purpose of its naval buildup in the Persian Gulf. The same article also mentioned Chinese concern. Sounds like warmonger Cheney and the Bushboy may have cut their fingers on the sabers they've been rattling.
Pelosi said in Germany today after her junket to the Central Asia she's more convinced than ever that the U.S. must pull its forces out of Iraq. And so the plot thickens: Bush's feet are pushed nearer to the fire. Whatever's going to happen is going to happen very soon. This whole thing begins to sound like a Tom Clancy novel.

Kajuns to 'Honor Louisiana'
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 1:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 1:04 p.m.
The men, women and children's Krewe of Kajuns is set to take to Houma city streets Mardi Gras day.
The parade follows the Krewe of Houmas parade Feb. 12 on the traditional west-Houma route. Kajuns' theme this year is "Kajuns Honor Louisiana."
The krewe does not hold a tableau, but does hold a bash, which was Jan. 18 and 19 at the Ramada Inn in Houma.
The krewe is set to parade with 15 throwing floats, in addition to three area dance teams and the Houma Shrine Club.
Serving as parade captain is Dustin Parkhill.
Serving as queen for Kajuns is Macie Acosta.
The Krewe of Kajuns was formed by the Houma-Terrebonne Jaycees in 1966. Krewe officials say the krewe has a membership of more than 400 men, women and children.

A prisoner serving time for armed robbery and aggravated assault is on the streets tonight.
Darrell Crowder was working a shift on work release with Augusta's Transitional Center when he was reported missing.
Crowder was working his regular shift at Schlotzsky's deli on Washington Road last night. He was supposed to come straight back to the Transitional Center.
But that never happened.
45-year-old Darrell Crowder has been serving time in jail throughout the state for more than 20 years.
His crimes include armed robbery, aggravated assault, and even an escape.
Yet despite those charges he was recommended by a parole board to participate in a work release program here at Augusta's Transitional Center before he was to be released in the next six months.
Under state law, Crowder is allowed to participate in the work release program because most of the crimes were committed more than ten years ago.
The Department of Corrections tells News 12 that Crowder was considered a minimal security risk and has had no prior problems while working at Schlotzsky's.
They told News 12 it was "not a major incident" because Crowder was recommended by a parole board.
Darrell Crowder weighs 190 pounds and is about six feet tall.
Even though Crowder worked here in Augusta, he's not from this area, and the crimes he committed were not local, either.
Most of the crimes he committed occurred in Spaulding County, just south of Atlanta.
But before he came to Augusta he served at the men's state prison in Milledgeville.

I want to thank Jim Porter for his very reasonable take on gun control. His thoughts are spot on. As a society, we need to recognize that the 2nd Amendment was written for circumstances and conditions that simply no longer exist, and engage in a realistic discussion about gun ownership that is relevant to the 21st century.
As someone who has grown up with firearms, and has enjoyed target shooting from an early age, I nonetheless cannot fathom the NRA's extremist interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. Frankly, I find the NRA insulting. I feel they give a bad name to all the reasonable gun owners in this country.
The NRA has done an excellent job of brain-washing our citizenry. They have convinced otherwise intelligent people that the issue of gun rights is an all-or-nothing proposition. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Even if the framers of the Constitution could have conceived of weapons such as modern military-style, fully-automatic assault rifles, large capacity clips and exploding rounds, can any reasonable person honestly believe they would have thought it a good thing for all citizens have access to them? In terms of mid-eighteenth century weaponry, that would be roughly equivalent to saying that all citizens should be able to own their own cannon.
Let's face it people - assault weapons are Weapons of Mass Destruction. There is no reason for the average citizen to have them. The fact that so many of my fellow citizens have become so enamored of owning the capacity for mass destruction is sad and frightening.
And now, in order to protect the contrived "right" to own Weapons of Mass Destruction, the NRA wants our children to go to school in armed camps. Is this really the kind of society we want to live in?

Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" is a timeless classic, no doubt about that. But the song's music video is a bit, shall we say, overexposed.
Enter Richard Sandling.
The British stand-up comic lovingly and painstakingly crafted an alternative music video for Astley's earworm using a mesmerizing array of clips from seasons one through four of AMC's Mad Men.
The top YouTube comment at the time of writing sums up this remix: "That was magic, and everybody should see this video. Everybody."

Federer delights home crowd with hat-trick victory (Sport.scotsman)
ROGER Federer warmed up for the Paris Masters by winning his hometown tournament for a record third straight year by beating Argentine second seed David Nalbandian 6-3, 6-4 in the Swiss Indoors final.
The world No 2, who lost to eventual winner Andy Murray in the semi-finals of the Madrid Masters last Saturday, broke Nalbandian once in each set, to maintain his dominance at the tournament where he once worked as a ballboy.
Roger Federer's Sunday Morning Smackdown! (bleacher report)
Sunday morning in the States. Sedate, leisurely—the paper, coffee, and an extra special dog treat for Fido. Unless you are a tennis fan. Then you're in high gear preparing for three finals—one in St. Petersburg where Andy Murray is facing a qualifier, number 150 in the world Andrey Gulubev. This one is a gimme. In Lyon, France, Robin Soderling faces Julien Benneteau…who? Right.
The crème de la crème match is in Basel where number one seed Roger Federer is facing his old nemesis—sometimes bane of his existence—number two seed David Nalbandian. They have been playing each other on tour since their junior years. Very often, Nalbandian gets the better of the Swiss virtuoso. Federer was on fire from the first. Two aces in the first game. Winners down the center, off the line, and in your face. Roger was not going to be denied. He wanted this victory and he was going to have it.
He served like a coiled spring and moved like waxed silk. Eight aces blazed past David Nalbandian, one of them a second serve ace down the line that wowed the Federer crowd. Federer surrendered only seven service points in the entire match.
Clinical Federer wins Swiss title (BBC Sport)
Top seed Roger Federer secured his third successive Swiss Indoors title with a 6-3 6-4 win over number two seed David Nalbandian in the final in Basel.
It was the 57th title of Federer's illustrious career and he said: "I am overjoyed. I served well and played aggressively so I couldn't ask for more."
"There are two tournaments that I always dreamed about winning as a boy - Wimbledon and Basel.
"When you realise a childhood dream and realise it again and again then it's one of those places that you just want to keep winning even more at."
Federer captures crown in Basel (Sports Network)
Top-seeded Roger Federer knocked off second seed David Nalbandian, 6-3, 6-4, in the final at Swiss Indoors tournament. Federer, who cruised past Spaniard Feliciano Lopez in straight sets in one of Saturday's semifinals matches, captured this title for the third straight year. He pocketed $186,000 as the champion.
"Roger played almost perfect, he played great," said Nalbandian. "He served very well and although I didn't play bad he was better than me today. I had a good week though."
Federer Clips Nalbandian To Rule Basel Title (AHN)
Top-seeded Roger Federer launched eight aces in beating Argentine David Nalbandian 6-3, 6-4 to win the Swiss Indoors Basel title for the third year in a row Sunday. Federer took the championship in front of the hometown crowd and treated them to a tennis spectacle where he showed his deadly form from start to finish. He relinquished just seven points on his serve, capping the match with a huge forehand to improve to 10-8 all-time against Nalbandian.
Stay well, healthy and happy!
Allez Roger!
'Cause I think that you know we(your fans) all love you and wish you everything the best!!!!
Take care and win next tornaument,
Have to agree with Nalbandian here.
What a joy to watch it was.
hope u're enjoying urself to the most Roger! u deserve it!
I especially liked the 1st article from "bleacher report" it just describes everything in the greatest way! & yeah, they could find words to describe tha
Love you Roger and all the best!!!!

The City of Waynesville joined sister city, Saint Robert, as a Purple Heart City on March 21, 2013. Waynesville is now part of the Purple Heart Trail along Interstate 44. The City of Saint Robert became the first city on the Interstate 44 corridor to become a Purple Heart City on the Purple Heart Trail January 7, 2013.� Waynesville is the fifth city in Missouri to receive the Purple Heart City designation, joining in the states effort to honor those veterans who have been wounded or killed while in military service to our country. The declaration follows legislative action which made Missouri�s entire sections of Interstate 44 and 70 a Purple Heart Trail.
A Purple Heart City is a community with �great admiration and gratitude for the men and women who have served this country.�
Commander Everett Kelley, of Buffalo,�and long-time Waynesville resident, SGM (Retired) Edgar Irizarry presented a flag and plaque to the City making that designation. Mayor Luge Hardman stated that the City is �honored to be included in this designation, as we honor the service of our valiant military.�� The City of Waynesville will proudly fly the Purple Heart flag on special days.
The Purple Heart Trail was established in 1992 by the Military Order of the Purple Heart to be a symbolic trail throughout all 50 states to commemorate and honor all men and women who have been wounded or killed in combat while serving in the U.S. armed forces. The Purple Heart Trail originates in Mount Vernon, Va., and traverses the United States to California.
The designation of both St. Robert and Waynesville as Purple Heart Cities is another indicator of the prevalent patriotism that runs deep in Pulaski County USA.

The NMCWM will host its Third Annual Civil War Medicine Living Historians Workshop on Saturday, March 8, 2014. The workshop is an all-day symposium on the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to provide quality living history programs to the public, specifically focused on medicine during the Civil War. The event is a resource for experienced reenactors as well as those who are interested in joining the community of education through living history.
This year's workshop will take a particular focus on portraying and interpreting support groups that ministered the needs of soldiers, both temporal and spiritual, including military chaplains and the United States Christian Commission. While not directly medical, the work of these groups was so deeply interwoven with that of surgeons and nurses that the full story of Civil War medicine cannot be told without them.
The workshop will also cover the portrayal of military surgeons and personnel, including specialty impressions and creating special programs for public events.
Sessions will be hosted by members of the Blue and Gray Hospital Association, as well as other veteran living historians and interpreters. Registration for the workshop is $60 for non-members of the Museum and $50 for members and active volunteers. The fee includes morning refreshments and lunch in the afternoon. For more information, contact Kyle Wichtendahl at firstname.lastname@example.com or 301-695-1864, ext. 1013.

DETROIT -- The A's outfield is undergoing some wholesale changes these days, changes reflected in Monday's 8-6 win over the Detroit Tigers.
Josh Reddick is on the disabled list. Brandon Moss is in right field in his place. And Coco Crisp looks like a new man.
Crisp had three hits, including his 100th career homer, and first baseman Daric Barton, Reddick's replacement on the roster, had two tiebreaking singles as the A's jumped out to an 8-4 lead by scoring in six innings before surviving two harrowing bases-loaded situations in the late going.
In addition to his offense, Crisp made a terrific diving catch in the eighth inning to limit what could have been a breakthrough inning for Detroit to a single run.
"He's a good sparkplug for us," winning pitcher A.J. Griffin said. "When he's going good, the A's are usually going good. I'm just glad he's on our side."
Crisp has been on the A's side all along, but an injured left wrist limited his production to a fraction of what he expects from himself. He took a cortisone shot, then the better part of a week off, and he's been a new man since his return.
He has nine hits in his 18 at-bats on this trip and has homered four times in his last five starts. There's lots of action at the top of the lineup, and that means the middle of the lineup has more chances to be productive.
"I have good games and I have bad ones," Crisp said in a philosophical bent. "Today was one of the good ones. There's no telling what tomorrow holds."
That's certainly true for Barton, the A's regular first baseman from 2008-10 who is up with the A's for the second time this year after spending much of the season with Triple-A Sacramento. Barton said he doubted he would be called up even when the rosters expand from 25 to 40 players Sept. 1, but now he's the A's regular against right-handed pitching again.
"Things are good," Barton said. He singled in the fourth to break a 2-all tie, then singled again in the sixth after Miguel Cabrera's 43rd homer for the Tigers had pulled Detroit even at 4-4. From that point on, Barton, Crisp and Alberto Callaspo singled home runs, and Jed Lowrie contributed an RBI double as the A's pushed their lead to four runs.
"It was definitely nice that we continued (to add on runs)," Crisp said.
Oakland needed all of that, because the Tigers loaded the bases in the seventh and eighth innings. The seventh inning was particularly compelling drama because A's manager Bob Melvin intentionally walked Cabrera, last year's Triple Crown winner, rather than face him with two men on.
Melvin then asked struggling lefty Sean Doolittle to face Prince Fielder, who Melvin said "thrives in those situations. But you have to do what is practical."
The Tigers' cleanup hitter flew out ... to Crisp, naturally.
"In that situation I'm not trying to do geometry," Doolittle said when asked if he was trying to keep the ball in the big part of the park from left-center to right-center. He just wanted an out.
He got it, as did Ryan Cook, facing Torii Hunter an inning later with the bases again full as the A's beat the team with the best record in the American League after having lost six of their previous eight games.
"This is something to build off," Griffin, who gave up two two-run homers but otherwise pitched well. "This was a good team win. It's nice to win the first one of four."

A's (Tommy Milone 9-9) at Detroit (Justin Verlander 12-9), 4:08 p.m. CSNCA

WASHINGTON (January 13, 2013)—David Keene, the president of the National Rifle Association, told CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that right now the powerful gun lobby has the support in Congress to block a new assault weapons ban, but he's not discounting any proposal backed by the full power of the White House.
Senior members of Congress have pledged to ban assault weapons and limit the sale of high-capacity ammunition magazines such as the one used to kill 27 people, most of them children, in Newtown, Conn., last month.
Vice President Joe Biden is expected to send a comprehensive package of recommendations for curbing gun violence to President Barack Obama on Tuesday, including universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Lib-Ray Video Standard: FLAC and Vorbis codecs for Sound
In my previous column, I described the success I've had with using VP8 for compressing the video for the Lib-Ray main feature multimedia file. At the end of that process, though, I still have a silent film. We also need to get the audio, and make a decision about the format. WebM calls for Vorbis sound, which probably makes sense for internet downloads, but this is where we part ways -- for my application, bit-perfect audio with FLAC seems to make more sense, at least for the main audio tracks (Vorbis is still in the picture for things like commentaries).

You probably haven't lost all the weight you wanted to lose, but you have lost some and you feel pretty good about it. And you should. Over the years i have tried many different ways to keep my weight in check and cycling has by far been the best and the easiest method to stick with. When you first start cycling you begin putting a big workload on your body that it is not used to, and consequently you begin to lose weight and get excited about it, and press on with more riding. This works great as a motivator and the weight continues to come off. However, as your fitness level goes up and your body weight goes down, you will eventually start to plateau. Your body wont be working as hard as it used to, even though you are putting in the miles in the saddle. You increase the number of miles and time in the saddle, and that will work for a while, but there are only so many hours a day that you can devote to riding that eventually you plateau again. Your workload is just not great enough to shed those last few pounds that you really ant gone. Sound familiar? Yup, you may even start to gain some weight back even though you are riding a lot. Physical exercise will only get you so far in your journey to lose weight. The other component is diet. Yes its that dreaded word, diet.
I hate that word. I actually prefer the term eating method, over diet. Diet has a negative connotation to it that usually brings up thoughts of starvation, so i try to stay away from that word and just use eating method. So, if you have been paying attention, you can probably see where we are going with this; after cycling there is your eating methods to deal with.
When i first started cycling, i lost about 20 pounds pretty easily. I started out in the high 190's and went down to the high 170's. But after riding for nearly 15 years, the pounds were starting to creep back up little by little and before i knew it i was back in the mid 180's even though i was putting in the miles. Nothing seemed to work. As cyclists, we think we can eat whatever we want and stay trim, and to some extent that is true, when you compare our metabolism to mast folks, but there comes a time when our fitness is so good that our physical exertion from riding is not as great as it used to be, and we begin to plateau or pack on the pounds again.
In the next post on this topic i will get into what i did to get those last few pounds off, and it wasn't that hard. I will show you a few tools that make it a lot easier. I am now where i want to be, in the low 170's and i think you can probably be where you want to be too.

The brain controls your muscles, thoughts, reasoning, breathing and many other essential bodily functions, which makes it extremely important. Unfortunately, the brain is not exempt from damage, but there are actions you can take to protect your brain. Pepper Etters, emergency medicine physician assistant at Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James, shares information and tips on preventing brain injuries.
There are many proactive measures you can take to help prevent brain injuries and head trauma. Following these basic tips will have a positive impact on your brain health:
Wear a helmet. While your skull does a great job of protecting your brain, it was not designed to take higher speed impacts. It's important to wear a helmet while you are riding an all-terrain vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle, skateboard or snowmobile. Be sure to wear helmets or other approved forms of head protection when playing contact sports, skiing, snowboarding or riding a horse.
Don't drive under the influence. Don't drink and drive, and avoid driving under the influence of drugs, including many prescription medications.
Buckle up. Always wear your seatbelt. Secure small children in the back seat in a safety seat that is the right size for their height and weight.
Prevent falls. You can effectively reduce falls in your home by installing handrails in bathrooms and on stairways; improving lighting; keeping your floors and stairs free of clutter; inserting slip-resistant mats in your bathtub and shower; and exercising regularly.
Risk Factors
Individuals who are at the highest risk of brain injuries include:
Young children, particularly newborns to 4-year-olds.
Teens and young adults, especially those between 15 and 24 years old.
Adults 75 and older.
If you do experience head trauma, understanding brain injury symptoms is essential for seeking timely treatment and avoiding further complications.
Signs of a brain injury range from mild to severe and may include:
Temporary loss of consciousness (a few seconds to a few minutes)
Confusion or disorientation
Dizziness or loss of balance
Nausea or vomiting
Changes in mood
Disrupted sleeping patterns (sleeping more or having trouble sleeping)
Slurred speech
Pupil dilation in one or both eyes
Constant headache or headache that becomes more severe
Clear fluids coming out of the ears or nose
Any adult symptoms
Persistent crying
Refusal to eat, or a change in eating or nursing habits
Lack of interest in favorite activities or toys
If you notice any of these symptoms in yourself or someone else, seek medical attention immediately.
Page 2 of 2 - By learning more about prevention, risks and symptoms, you can be adequately prepared to reduce your risk of a brain injury or complications from head trauma.
Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James is hosting its annual Bicycle Safety Rally from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, at St. James Federal Bank.

There's no need to be embarrassed. Just because an acquaintance who didn't make your Christmas list got you a generous gift card to your favorite store -- which you mentioned in passing and she remembered, how thoughtful -- doesn't mean you have to run out and buy her something, says Daniel Post Senning, spokesman for the Vermont-based Emily Post Institute.
Read below for more of Post Senning's helpful tips to get you through the holiday season.
Communicate. If you want to change the price limit or policy your gift exchange, let your gift recipient know in advance. Don't spring it on them because it can come across as competitive.
Accept with grace. If you receive a gift that you believe is expensive or "too much," simply accept with hearty thanks. Generosity is the heart of gift-giving.
If you don't want to keep the gift, say so. It is OK to say keeping the gift would make you uncomfortable. It is also OK to say you plan to donate it to a charity. Just follow through.
Admit, accept, and move on. If a friend gifts you and you don't have anything in return, simply admit the mistake, accept the gift, and move on. If you are inspired to buy them something, go ahead, but don't say "you left it on the kitchen counter" if you didn't. No need to be deceptive.
It is the thought that counts. As hard as that is to accept, it is the truth. Diamond ring or handmade card.

Holistic Veterinary Medicine Club
The HVMC is a student chapter of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA). We aim to inform our colleagues in the veterinary school about the different treatment modalities available to them when they begin to practice veterinary medicine. Our mission is to increase awareness to medical modalities that are not considered conventional medicine, and to educate ourselves, the community, veterinarian, and technicians about these modalities so we can make educated decision. To this end, we organize speakers to talk to veterinary students about the modalities they have used to treat their patients. Some of these modalities include acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, herbal medications, homeopathy, ayurveda, etc.
Our curriculum provides little exposure to alternative and complementary medicine, and HVMC is one of the few resources on campus that provide these information. It is our belief that we all should be educated on alternative/complementary/holistic medicine, so we can better inform our clients and offer them advice on different therapies. Knowing the truth and myth allows us to better serve our clients and help our patients.

"Dominating" might be a slight stretch, but Brian Scalabrine is averaging 14 points per game and shooting a remarkable 77.2% from the floor and 66.7% from beyond the arc (Take that Ray Allen!).
Check out Jessica Camerato's column over on csnne.com to catch up on other Celtics, past and present, playing overseas. She has the scoop on E'Twaun Moore, Avery Bradley, Nenad Krstic, Von Wafer, Gerald Green, and Oliver Lafayette.
16 Responses so far.
Great post. I watched Lafayette's game with Asseco Prokom Gdynia against Galatasaray (which had Zaza Pachulia). He played quite well and became the spark for the team from the bench when his team needed it the most (down 15 points or so). They almost came back to win. Unfortunately he fouled out from the game.
14 points per game is actually pretty good in european leagues...
the much hyped up Rubio, playing point in the best team in europe averaged about 5 points and 4 assists per game last year
and in the italian league, the top 10 scorers this season only range from 17 up to 21 points per game (Von Wager is 5th with 19 points)
http://www.eurobasket.com/ is an ok site for europe wide top tens, but you need to pay if you want quality stats i think
Note: the top ten just has their surname, the second title is their team name, took me a while to work out their wasn't three guys called 'pepsi' haha
i read Jessica Camerato's column after posting the above and discovered more or less everything i said post Rubio bashing was already stated in the article...maybe she copied me...but just wrote it down first :P
It all depends on the team and the role/status of the player in it. You have to remember that there are 40 minutes of game,not 40. A starter may average 25 minutes per game so the stats are not as in the NBA. Also the assists are only counted when the guy that receives the ball is in a clear situation to score...that means that a guy who averages 4 assists here would like average at least 2-3 more in the NBA.
Finally the dynamics and rhythm are completely different. The game is more strategical, and dramatically more team oriented. Coaches are quite strict and if a guy shoots two in a row with still 15-20 seconds on the clock he will be benched no matter his CV.
It's the same game but played in a different style and with different mentality.
Concerning Rubio, he didn't play a major role in Barcelona last year. You also have to remember that Barcelona is way better team than Scal's team right now. It's not the same to play with CSKA, Maccabi, Barcelona, etc than other teams (it's the same in the NBA).
Finally, Rubio is not a scorer and experienced some insecurity and crisis with his shooting. He is mostly a pass first player
* sorry, I meant 40 minutes in Europeand 48 in the NBA (morning lapsus):D
yeah I'm in Australia Bohemian, so I understand the differences between Euro and NBA (much more Australians in Europe compared to the 2-3 in the NBA, only 1 or 2 members of our national squad play in Australia)
I probably should have been clearer in my detailing, I was trying to say that 14 a game is a really good number and comparing it to a player like Rubio who has what look like low numbers, but all the hype says they are good (and I know about his shooting, he's totally lost confidence!). And he did play 20 minutes a game, not as many as starting point as previous years, and certainly not their key scorer, but I would still argue he was a key player (and in a team which is consistently in the top 5 or so teams in Europe)

DH says:
Scal looks good back in green! Red was not as flattering
Danya Abrams says:
Jesse Dampolo says:
Proof that Brian Scalabrine isn't just some chubby red headed idiot that has no clue about basketball.
Of course he is because he's a certified beast and the best ginger basketball player with the last name Scalabrine ever. I have such a huge man crush on this guy I can't put it in words. I love you Scal.

Hard and Soft Law in International Governance
Kenneth W. Abbott
Arizona State University
Duncan Snidal
University of Chicago
International Organization, Vol. 54, p. 421, 2000
We examine why international actors -- including states, firms, and activists -- create different types of legalized arrangements to solve political and substantive problems. We show how particular forms of legalization provide superior institutional solutions in different circumstances. We begin by examining the baseline advantages of "hard" legalization (that is, precise, legally binding obligations with appropriate third-party delegation). We emphasize, however, that actors often prefer softer forms of legalization (that is, various combinations of reduced precision, less stringent obligation, and weaker delegation). Soft legalization has a number of significant advantages: it is easier to achieve, provides strategies for dealing with uncertainty, infringes less on sovereignty, and facilitates compromise among differentiated actors. Although our approach is largely interest-based, we explicitly incorporate the normative elements that are central in law and in recent international relations theorizing. We also consider the important role of nonstate actors who, along with states, are central participants in contemporary international legalization. We illustrate the advantages of various forms of international legal arrangements with examples drawn from articles in this special issue and elsewhere.
