Fakeducation For Years From Heartland [1]
John Mashey [2] | February 20, 2012
By John Mashey [2] • Monday, February 20, 2012 - 10:38
The NY Times [3], LA Times [4] and many others [5] criticized Heartland's inept plan to hire David Wojick to create an alternate-reality K-12 climate science curriculum. But Heartland's school ground attack on science is nothing new, as is evident in the organization's own commentary: "Heartland has tried to make material available to teachers, but has had only limited success. Principals and teachers are heavily biased toward the alarmist perspective." [6]
One of the best known Heartland incursions into the schoolyard occurred in 2008, when the institute mailed teaching materials to 11,250 schools in Canada. [7] In 2009, Science derided Heartland for sending copies of The Skeptic's Handbook [8] to 14,000 US school board officials. Heartland's Environment and Climate New mocked one school board president for his refusal to use it.
But Heartland began its classroom misinformation campaign much earlier. During 2002-2003, E&CN ran ads exhorting readers to "discuss an E&CN article with your school-age child… and his or her teacher." I hope parents avoided the common "Smoker's Lounge" ads in those issues.
Al Gore's Nobel Prize for An Inconvenient Truth caused a scramble at E&CN, as in 2007's "Alaska Teachers Indoctrinated with Misleading Global Warming Materials" and "Gore Film Is Partisan, Riddled with Errors, U.K. Court Rules." During 2007-2011, Heartland produced at least 25 related articles, reviews of children's books and advertisements. These are documented chronologically in Fake Science (attached), but have been gathered together in the 7-page attachment, Appendix Y.3.
Heartland ran variations of the "Indoctrinated" ad six times 2008-2009.
The longest campaign was run through Sovereignty International [9], starting with an ad for a DVD "Global Warming or Global Governance? [10]"
"The most powerful DVD available today that explains the science of global warming and the political agenda driving the man-caused hysteria. … This video is converting former man-caused believers into skeptics."
But SI messed up on the messaging: Heartland prefers "alarmists," so "man-based believers" got changed. Finally, this evolved to a new presentation, with a different website [11], but by the same people, especially Michael Coffman [12] and his assistant who hosts the movie. The Trailer [13] is a must-see, jamming many standard fakexperts and bad arguments into just five minutes. It starts:
'Hi! I'm Kristie Pelletier. Like you, I'm not a scientist, but I have worked for one, so I've been following the global warming story for many years. And I want to share with you what I believe is an amazing breakthrough in the science of global warming and climate change. It has certainly changed my understanding of the subject.'
(The amazing breakthrough? "It's the sun!")
The website has highlights [14] and lesson plans. [15]
Fakeducation (faked you kay shun) is an organized form of Everyone is Now Dumber [16], of which Heartland has long history, from tobacco to climate anti-science.
These attacks tend to fail in the long term, but it only takes one intensely-motivated parent to hassle a decent science teacher. There is, however, help for teachers and schools facing Heartland's anti-science bullying:
The National Center for Science Education [17] (NCSE), which is a real public charity - and not, as Heartland, a PR agency faking it - has long helped teachers defend science against creationism. In response to teachers' complaints about getting hassled on climate, NCSE has broadened its scope and added Mark McCaffrey [18] to address climate science education.
Josh Rosenau writes of the parallels [19], which also appear in the attachment.
UPDATE: In comments, LIonel A points to a fine list of videos [20]involving Ms. Pelletier, starting with "the IPCC Fraud."
UPDATE 02/26/12: Gareth Renowden explores the "lesson plans" in Heartland on education: they'd like to teach the world to lie. [21]
UPDATE 03/05/12: Richard Littlemore had in 2008 covered the video [22] sent to Canadian schools. YouTube has copies of Unstoppable Solar Cycles [23], with Willie Soon. This was done via the Palmer R. Chitester Fund [24], run by Bob Chitester, who helped Barre Seid (who some allege is Heartland's likeliest Anonymous Donor) try to take over Shimer College.

InterMune's Lung Drug Gets Backing From FDA Panel
Another day, another stock-price jump.
First, the preliminaries: An advisory panel this afternoon recommended the FDA approve a lung drug developed by InterMune, with majorities of the outside experts saying the proposed treatment appeared effective and safe.
The FDA is expected to decide by early May whether to go along with the panel's recommendation on pirfenidone, which is intended to treat patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The FDA usually follows the lead of its advisory committees.
This all comes as good news for investors in InterMune, whose shares streaked nearly 60% higher Friday because the questions posed by the FDA staff for today's advisory committee meeting weren't uniformly negative.
The stock price then barely budged yesterday and trading in the shares was halted today in anticipation of the meeting news. But in after-hours trading today, the news sent the shares soaring up 65% to $38.43. That compares with the stock's price under $15 at the close last Thursday.
The experts voted 7-5 on the question of data for pirfenidone showing "substantial evidence" of effectiveness. The medicine passed the safety vote 9-3. InterMune had told the panel that "pirfenidone provides a clinically meaningful benefit to patients by reducing decline in lung function."
Panel member Leslie Hendeles of the University of Florida told Dow Jones Newswires that he didn't think the data met FDA's substantial-effectiveness test, but he voted in favor of the medicine because he would want a chance to take the drug if he were diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis.
The FDA is giving the InterMune drug candidate a priority review process that's reserved for advances over existing treatments. There aren't any FDA-approved drugs now for IPF. Here's more on the disease.

Eleven months after the New England Patriots used underinflated footballs in the first half of the AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts, Deflategate drags on. That's why it is without question THE sports story of 2015 in Rhode Island and the rest of New England. Wondering Why As The College Football Regular Season Winds Down By Mike Szostak • Nov 20, 2015 Another college football season is winding down, and I'm wondering why this new Division I playoff system has me feeling the old way might have been better. Remember when media voted in the AP poll, coaches voted in the UPI/USA Today poll, each determined a national champion, and when they differed, national debate ensued? Talk about fun! Oh, The Pain Of Costly Fumbles, Interceptions And Blocked Kicks By Mike Szostak • Nov 15, 2015 Oh, the agony of interceptions, the pain of lost fumbles, the hurt of blocked punts and field-goal attempts, the ache of failed PATs. Oh, the sting of ensuing defeat. Rhode Island's four college football teams, plus undefeated and nationally ranked Harvard, paid dearly for their errors on a blustery Saturday afternoon. It's A Big Weekend For Salve Regina, Bryant, NESCAC Football Archrivals By Mike Szostak • Nov 13, 2015 Western New England is the place to be for championship football on Saturday. Yes, it's Division III, but I doubt you will find more appealing matchups than Salve Regina and Western New England in Springfield for the New England Football Championship and Amherst and Williams in Williamstown for the Little Three title and, for Amherst, sole possession of the New England Small College Athletic Conference championship. College Football Is Weeknight Entertainment As Well As A Saturday Ritual By Mike Szostak • Nov 7, 2015 College football has gone wacky. Why else would Northern Illinois have played at Toledo on Tuesday night and Ohio University have traveled to Bowling Green on Wednesday night? College football on a Tuesday night the first week in November? College football on a Wednesday night? I'm kidding, right? Sadly, no. Dartmouth-Harvard Could Be An Ivy League Classic By Mike Szostak • Oct 30, 2015 With apologies to Florida and Georgia, hosts of the world's biggest cocktail party every autumn, the best college football game in America this weekend will occur Friday night in Boston. Undefeated Harvard and undefeated Dartmouth will kick off at 7:30 at Harvard Stadium. Each is 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the Ivy League. Dartmouth-Harvard Could Be An Ivy League Classic By Mike Szostak • Oct 30, 2015 With apologies to Florida and Georgia, hosts of the world's biggest cocktail party every autumn, the best college football game in America this weekend will occur Friday night in Boston. Undefeated Harvard and undefeated Dartmouth will kick off at 7:30 at Harvard Stadium. Each is 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the Ivy League. No Weak Opponents This Homecoming Weekend By Mike Szostak • Oct 16, 2015 Homecoming is always one of the highlights of the fall calendar at most colleges and universities. Alumni meetings, lectures, symposiums, cocktail parties, dinners and fraternity parties abound. Oh, did I mention football games? QB Dalton Easton Leading The Bryant Charge By Mike Szostak • Oct 9, 2015 This was the season a freshman might have started at quarterback for the Bryant University football team. Tucker Beirne, a 6-2, 225-pounder from Coral Gables, Fla., looked like a player who could follow in the footsteps of 2014 graduate Mike Westerhaus, who stood third on Bryant's all-time passing list with 4,929 yards. Beirne's father David played lacrosse at Bryant in the 1980s and currently sits on the Bryant board of Trustees, so Tucker already knew about the Bulldogs football program. Bad News For URI Football Could Linger By Mike Szostak • Oct 7, 2015 The altercation allegedly involving seven University of Rhode Island football players and members of a fraternity in the overnight hours Sunday could have long-term ramifications for coach Jim Fleming and his program. Sanctions in the wake of a fraternity raid by URI football players in 1996 dealt the program a blow from which it never recovered during his tenure, former coach Floyd Keith told me after he announced his resignation, effective the end of the 1999 season. 100th Brown-URI Football Game Saturday Night A Tough Ticket By Mike Szostak • Oct 1, 2015 The 100th football game between Rhode Island and Brown Saturday night at Brown Stadium will be a tough ticket. To sell, not to buy. Or, would you want to sit outside, possibly in the rain, to watch a pair of teams with a combined record of 0-6? Brown Faces Mental Challenge At Harvard By Mike Szostak • Sep 25, 2015 Brown will play football at Harvard Saturday night, but I'm sure the mind games began last Saturday after Harvard's 41-10 romp at Rhode Island and Brown's frustrating 20-16 loss at home to Bryant. Make no mistake about it. Every fall, Harvard gets in the head of the Brown football team, as if some mist floats to College Hill from Harvard Square and billions of H cells infiltrate the brains of Bears. Cells with stats, records, results. Gridiron DNA. South Providence Recreation Center To Be Dedicated To Late John Rollins By Scott MacKay • Sep 18, 2015 The South Providence Recreation Center will be renamed tomorrow for the late John H. Rollins, a former Providence City Council member, civil rights activist and football star at both La Salle Academy and the University of Rhode Island. Brown Football Opens Against Bryant; Harvard Visits URI By Mike Szostak • Sep 18, 2015 College football returns to Rhode Island in a big way Saturday. Brown launches its 138th season at home against Bryant. Rhode Island plays its home opener against Harvard, the 2014 Ivy League champion. Salve Regina, the state's Division III entry, hosts Castleton University from Vermont. After Disastrous Season Opener, Should URI Drop Football? Maybe Not By Mike Szostak • Sep 8, 2015 Thirteen consecutive losing seasons. Just three winning seasons since 1985. Zero championships since the 1984 and 1985 teams won back-to-back Yankee Conference titles. Zero playoff appearances since the 1985 team lost in the quarterfinals of the NCAA I-AA Tournament. Its 6,500-seat "stadium" tied with New Hampshire for the smallest in the Colonial Athletic Association. Except for brief streaks in the 1950s and early 1980s, no tradition of winning football going back more than a century to the inaugural campaign in 1895. All that at an annual cost of about $3.6 million. Pages1 2 next › last »

Dog's Life: Lifestyle
Travel provides opportunity
Posted by
May 29 2015
My dog life is very America-centric. I have not owned dogs anywhere but in this country, nor have I taught dog training classes elsewhere. Except for the occasional seminar in Canada and some ad hoc consultations in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, my canine experiences are confined to the United States.
This summer promises many lessons because my family will be spending the entire season in Western Europe. So far, what I know about dogs in that part of the world is that they are not spayed and neutered at nearly the rate of dogs here, there is some evidence that they live a little longer, and they are rarely vaccinated against rabies because that disease has been essentially eradicated in the region. I also know that a lot of canine research is currently being conducted in Europe.
Based on the limited level of knowledge that is my starting point, it is exceedingly likely that I will be getting quite an education during our travels. I look forward to everything from observing how people interact with their dogs in different countries to meeting new breeds to seeing how dogs behave in public and what is expected of them.
For those of you who have personal experience with dogs in Europe, please tell me what pleasures you expect await me. All advice about observing and enjoying dogs in countries that are (mostly) new to me is welcome!
I'll be spending a month each in Scotland and Germany, plus making short excursions to Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and possibly Poland. The trip is for my husband's work, and we expect him to be busy. That puts me on full-time duty as recreation director for our kids. I've never taken such a long hiatus from work (not even after the births of the children) so this promises to be a new experience. I will miss, among many other aspects of my professional life, blogging here for The Bark. I'm already looking forward to resuming that when we return in August!

Besides veterinarians and zookeepers, not many professions related to animals are well known. That's why I was so happy for the opportunity to represent my field and share what I do as a canine behaviorist and dog trainer with elementary school kids.
I was granted special permission to bring a dog as one of the requested "visual aids" for a career day presentation at my son's school. The best part was the mutual enjoyment between Marley and the students. He clearly loved every second of the attention, and they were quite enamored with him. It was pretty blissful all around, but in truth, I expected that. He's a social dog who loves attention, and any group of kids is likely to enjoy spending time with a nice dog while at school.
There were ways in which I was caught off guard, though. I was pleasantly surprised by how much most of the children knew about dog behavior. It seemed to be common knowledge that when dogs wag their tails to the right, they are especially happy. The kids were aware that they should not stare at dogs or hug them and that a dog who goes stiff should be considered unapproachable. Most of the kids knew about using clickers and treats to train dogs, and several brought up the issue of dogs being left-pawed or right-pawed.
Additionally, the students surprised me by asking high-quality questions, including the following:
Is this fun for Marley or stressful?
Do all of the dogs you work with stop being aggressive?
How do you decide which trick will be easiest to teach a certain dog?
How can you tell when Marley has learned enough and he should get to go to recess?
Why is it easier to train dogs than to train cats?
What are scientists trying to learn about dogs right now?
Another surprise is one that perhaps I should have anticipated, but thoroughly failed to do so. I had assumed we would be in a classroom like all of the other presenters. Instead we were out in the courtyard. That means that various classes were walking through to spend time in the school garden and that there were (Oh my!) squirrels running around a few times during the course of the event. Naturally, this was potentially distracting for Marley and very exciting, but he rolled with it. He stayed focused on me and also on the kids in the group.
Marley got a chance to perform some of his best tricks, along with displaying the good manners that come from a mastery of basic obedience and lots of practice being in a variety of situations. When given each appropriate cue, Marley responded by sitting, lying down, coming when called, heeling and waiting at doors. He also showed off his lovely "Leave It" by not eating a treat or biscuit that was on the ground until he was given permission to do so. The tricks he did included "High-5", "Sit Pretty", "Rollover", "Crawl", "Spin" and "Unwind" (spinning in the opposite direction.)
The kids were most impressed by his tricks, but I was particularly proud of what nobody else probably even noticed—Marley was unreactive to distractions, remained focused on me, and was gentle as he visited all the children, letting each one have a moment to meet him. As a professional, I know that this generally polite behavior is actually more worthy of admiration than responding well to specific cues.
It's not easy to remain calm in a new place no matter what happens—school bells ringing, children running, squirrels appearing and a breeze wafting in smells from the cafeteria. Of course, as a professional I also know that not every dog is capable of behaving well in such a stimulating environment. I would never bring a dog to an elementary school unless I was completely confident he could act appropriately no matter what.
Marley's behavior was exemplary, so he definitely deserved to end each presentation by showing off his newest trick, which is "Take a Bow." Good dog!

I know they're in there, but how do I find them?

Televisions and computers can be confusing for dogs. It's not easy for our canine friends to figure out that videos are merely recordings of life, and that what they see is not really present. In this video, a Westie is confronted with a laptop showing a video of another Westie and a couple of puppies.
He seems to be searching for these other dogs, which he can so clearly see, and attempts to find them by walking around the computer and sniffing it. He's making use of several senses, apparently listening, looking and smelling in order to track them down. The dog's name is "Radar" so you've got to think it's likely that this dog can usually locate what he's looking for.
Radar is able to handle with ease a situation that might cause frustration in other dogs. He remains calm and methodical where many dogs would become upset. There's another aspect of Radar's behavior that is of great interest to me. He's clearly confused, and he does a couple of things I interpret as attempts to get more information. He repeatedly cocks his head, which dogs may do to better localize a sound. Additionally, he repeatedly looks at the camera, where there is presumably a person filming the scene. We know that dogs often look to people for information when they are struggling to solve a problem, and it's easy to imagine that Radar is seeking help with this challenging task.
How has your dog reacted when faced with a similar situation?

The difference between loving and threatening
Posted by
May 19 2015
There has recently been a lot of interest in people and dogs gazing into each other's eyes and how this creates feelings of love. The evidence is compelling that this interactive behavior does enhance the bonding between us. I have no objection to this assertion, but it does make me concerned that these new findings will cause a problem.
It's one thing to gaze softly into the eyes of your dog. It's another thing entirely to stare at that dog or at any other dog. In fact, it's potentially hazardous because staring is often considered a threat by dogs. So, I hope nobody goes around trying to bond with new and unknown dogs by looking them right in the eye. It's a reminder that subtle differences in behavior can have vastly different meanings.
One of the first things I learned when I began to work with aggressive dogs is to pay attention to eye contact. This was especially important for me because I have big dark eyes and I tend to open them wide when expressing interest or surprise. It would be all too easy for me to scare the dogs I'm trying to help with my frog eyes. It has become second nature for me now to turn off my wide-eyed actions when I am around dogs. I take care not to look directly at them without squinting just a little until they are comfortable around me.
It's because dogs are afraid of big eyes, especially when they are aimed directly at them, that many dogs react to cameras with big interchangeable lenses. It's likely that our canine subjects perceive these lenses as giant scary eyes staring at them. Many dogs who are not particularly fearful or nervous freak out when faced with a new camera and a person enthusiastically pointing it at them often and for long periods of time. If a dog's tendency when alarmed is to look away, cower or hide, that's what may happen in the face of a big camera. If a dog is more likely to bark, growl and lunge when scared, then that may be the reaction you see when a camera is pointed towards that dog.
Has your dogs reacted fearfully to someone staring or to a camera?

Understanding dogs makes all the difference

"Our dog bit our son completely out of the blue! There is no way we could have seen it coming." I hear this sentiment from parents all the time, as do all other behaviorists and trainers, but we know it's not true. Dogs rarely, if ever, bite without warnings, and sometimes those signs of trouble have been going on for months or even years before the bite happens.
The problem isn't unpredictable dogs. It's misunderstood dogs. Dogs are often trying hard to communicate that they are uncomfortable or that they don't like what kids are doing to them. If nobody understands those messages, the dogs continue to be in situations that make them unhappy, and some of those dogs may end up biting.
Most dog bites to kids come from the child's own dog or the dog of a friend. In fact, this is true 77 percent of the time. Check out this video by the family dog about how dogs and kids can have such different views of their experience together.
Several other videos by the same organization are really helpful when teaching kids (and adults!) things they need to know to stay safe. I love how these videos are targeted at different ages. This video is for kids in elementary school.
This video is for kids of preschool age.
The goal of keeping kids safe around dogs involves education so that people of all ages understand dogs better. It's important that kids know how to act around dogs and that everyone in the family can distinguish happy, relaxed dogs from dogs who are nervous or uncomfortable. "Stop the 77" is the movement to prevent dog bites to kids, most of which come from dogs they know well.

His post-elimination running still makes us laugh
Posted by
May 12 2015
Our dog Bugsy must really have enjoyed a good poop. I say that because he seemed to celebrate each one with a good run afterwards. He ran at top speed in a big circle with a gleeful look on his face around the yard or in the woods. He became the quintessentially happy dog—sporting a big grin, ears flopping, running fast enough that his fur waved in the breeze. (If he was on leash, he modified his actions and just did a few spins in place looking moderately cheerful.)
My husband mentioned Bugsy's post-elimination antics last night and we laughed remembering this particular behavior of a dog who died over a decade ago. It was absolutely predictable for Bugsy to do this after eliminating, and I used to look forward to watching him. My favorite part was the way it looked as though his back end was running faster than the front of him, causing his behind to be tucked down. In other contexts, he had a smoother gait and his body looked more organized.
It's not that there is actually anything so special about a dog running around after pooping, as that is relatively common. We find this memory endearing because he looked so happy and because the precise posture and motions were distinctively his. I would have been able to spot him in a group of hundreds of dogs making wide arcs if he were running in this particular way because I've never seen another dog assume quite the same form when running.
We have many wonderful memories of Bugsy, and this just happens to be the one that struck a chord last night. Anything a dog does that is joyful and distinctive is likely to be remembered with love. That's true even if it's something that doesn't seem typically sentimental, such as the way the dog runs after eliminating.
What behavior of a dog from your past brings you joy when you think back on it?

A world gone mad

The photographs of dog shadows by Thomas Roma capture the form and motion of dogs in a way that pictures of their actual bodies don't. Roma went to a local dog park in Brooklyn almost daily for years to photograph shadows of dogs. By shooting from a different perspective (quite literally, as his camera was mounted on a seven-foot pole) he revealed something quite different. These dogs have a beauty that comes from the simplicity of their forms.
In Roma's photos, the shadows both look like the dogs who cast them and appear very different. They are distorted and yet reveal the true essence of the dog form, too. It's unlikely that anyone would view these photos and not think of Plato's Allegory of the Cave, in which people trapped in a cave mistake shadows projected onto the wall of the cave for reality because they are unable to see anything but these shadows.
The photographer himself has said that the shadows and their photographs remind him of cave paintings. He loved the dusty pebbled ground and the way it was fresh and new each day. He continued to photograph dogs at the park until the city renovated it and changed the surface.
Roma calls his dog shadow photographs "Mondo Cane" which is Italian for "Dog World" but is also an idiomatic expression meaning "A World Gone Mad." These photographs have been exhibited in New York, Rome and Tokyo and sold all around the globe.
Who's inspired to turn their own lens to the shadows of our dogs?

What's hot on the research frontier can change quickly. Years ago in the environmental world, acid rain was all the rage, then it was mercury pollution and now big bucks are going to fund issues related to climate change. In the animal behavior world, copious studies on foraging behavior gave way to the popularity of parasitism, followed by a fascination with sexual selection and mating strategies.
Right now, studies of domestic animals, including dogs, are big, and a variety of topics are hot within the canine research community. I would love to see the funding that supports this research continue, and I think that will happen if people continue to see the value of the research. We're learning about our best friends at a faster rate than ever, and it's an exciting time to be interested in dogs.
Canine cognition research is a hugely popular area of study right now, as is the role of oxytocin in a variety of canine social behaviors. Interactions with people and the way dogs' brains respond to various stimuli have also both been studied a lot lately. Play behavior has been popular for quite a long time, though we are perhaps past the main peak of the wave of studies on this topic for now. Receiving far less attention are some other areas of dog behavior. It's currently far less common to study courtship and mating behavior, communication, aggression or feeding strategies.
Where would you like to see the studies of dogs go next? That is, what questions do you want answered in order to understand dogs better?

Celebrating National Poetry Month Canine Style
Posted by
April 30 2015
It's National Poetry month, and the goal since 1996 of this tradition is for people to see poetry all over the place. That means that people are placing poems in restrooms, on billboards, online and yes, even on dog collars.
The goal is for people to realize that poetry is everywhere, and part of that is understanding that the subjects of poetry are endless and anyone can write a poem. Of course, love is a prominent theme, as is the beauty of nature, but anything that interests a poet is a fair topic.
Naturally, many poets write about dogs, because they fall into the category of love, the beauty of nature and anything of interest to a poet. I particularly like one dog poem I discovered this month because it explores variation in perception.
It's natural to assume that what we can sense is what's out there, but each species has a very different view of "what's out there." Another way to say that is that every species has its own perceptual world, which is called the species' Umwelt. That's a German word that is most commonly translated as "subjective universe." Jakob von Uexküll came up with this term in 1907 to describe the phenomenon of organisms having different sensory experiences (even if they live in the same environment) because of varying capabilities of perception.
The poem is by Lisel Mueller and is called What The Dog Perhaps Hears.
If an inaudible whistle
blown between our lips
can send him home to us,
then silence is perhaps
the sound of spiders breathing
and roots mining the earth;
it may be asparagus heaving,
headfirst, into the light
and the long brown sound
of cracked cups, when it happens.
We would like to ask the dog
if there is a continuous whir
because the child in the house
keeps growing, if the snake
really stretches full length
without a click and the sun
breaks through clouds without
a decibel of effort,
whether in autumn, when the trees
dry up their wells, there isn't a shudder
too high for us to hear.
What is it like up there
above the shut-off level
of our simple ears?
For us there was no birth cry,
the newborn bird is suddenly here,
the egg broken, the nest alive,
and we heard nothing when the world changed.
Do you have a favorite dog poem? Have you written canine poetry?

The one type of dog gear you can't leave the house without
Posted by
April 28 2015
As a young teenager, I read an article in a beauty magazine that asked the question, "What's the one type of make-up you can't walk out of the house without?" I considered this carefully for some time. Was it eyeliner? Mascara? Lip gloss? This was the 80s, when a lot of make-up was common, but I wouldn't struggle with the question today. As long as I have sunscreen on, my beauty routine is complete and I'm ready to go.
But a similar question about dog gear would leave me just as befuddled as the make-up question from decades ago. What one type of dog gear do I absolutely have to have when I walk out of the house? It makes sense to narrow this down to non-essential dog gear. That means I'm not even counting the leash and collar. The law requires that I have poop bags so I'm not going to count those either.
When I walk out of the house with a dog, the item I can't be without is treats. I use them as reinforcements for training, and I do a lot of training. They are useful for counter conditioning, as distractions and even to prevent an off-leash dog from charging up to my dog.
I could imagine other people answering that the most essential item for their dogs is a tennis ball. Plenty of people have dogs who would look at them with disdain if they went to the park without a ball for playing fetch. If your dog prefers other toys for this game, perhaps your one essential item would be a flying disc. Squeaky toys or something else to play with in another way may be a top pick for many. Other people might say that they would never go anywhere without a clicker and treats (two items, really) or without a Kong. For anxious dogs, perhaps a thunder cap or thunder shirt, or the dog's special blanket might be the one thing you would never leave behind.
What's the one dog-related item you wouldn't walk out of the house without?

text: I agree with this. Ah, see, my comment in Post #75 was based on misunderstanding what you meant by your comment in Post #74. I thought "The internet's a wonderful thing -- Love getting my facts straight" was your way of saying, "Ah, thanks for explaining that!" I was clearly mistaken. Therefore, there's no need to start getting combative. I certainly wasn't intending to be condescending, and if I came off that way, I apologize. But since you ARE going that route, I'll say that I prefer my years of actual hands on training and operations over your Google searches. 'nuff said about that.

As she explained it to me, since this is not print advertising like the traditional yellow pages, it would be a simple matter with withdraw from the program at any time. She even offered to "throw in two free months" with this "starter package." Even as the Superpages and I were getting started, I learned that those "two free months" were at the END of a year's advertising, not at the beginning, but I dismissed this as only somewhat misleading.
However, during the first month of advertising, I saw NO increase in traffic from the advertising with Superpages. By their own records, my online ad got two (2) "clicks" to my site. I paid the agreed $86 for that month, but promptly asked to opt-out of future advertising. At this point, I was told that there was NO OPT-OUT feature to the "starter package" that I had purchased. I was committed for a full-year of advertising regardless of the performance of the company, even though I had specifically explained to the sales rep that I didn't want a long-term commitment on my limited budget.
I have contacted the company repeatedly to ask that they terminate this account, but no one knows anything about any opt-out feature. They are immovable that I MUST honor twelve months of the contract, even though this is not what we had initially agreed, and regardless of my requests to opt out.

Johngnomore, where are you hearing this? Last I heard is that the FA spokesman admitted Steive G did do a full training session with the squad yesterday, so was looking more likely to be in the team on Saturday, and without medical assistance.While I personally don't think he should play with the help of a needle, I'm not sure its good news if he does not play. Origianal reports were it would take 2-3 weeks for him to return to play. If he's not ready by Saturday, then his injury maybe worse than orginally stated, or not healing as hoped, as he's not going past the 3 week recovery period.While from a LFC perspective, we still have over a week before our next match, so time for Stevie to heal, I think its best for all to have a Stevie G who's fighting to play for both club and country.
as some people know on here i am an ex amateur footballer with some contacts....my info on torres for example at the start of the transfer window opening and telling you guys when he would sign even though it was claimed he was on holiday.....all i am saying is that this has come from a reliable source who has yet to let me down

Jasy Liew, a graduate student in the Information Management program at the School of Information Studies (iSchool), recently traveled to Singapore, where she explored new technologies and innovative research studies as part of the Experience@Singapore program 2010.
The Experience@Singapore is an interactive and digital media program aimed to promote global networks between students, universities and organizations in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.
Liew was one of 13 students selected from the six participating countries to take part in the event. The trip showcased breakthrough technologies in interactive and digital media, which complimented Liew's personal interests in human computer interaction (HCI).
"I was really impressed with the research and development in virtual reality and interactive media," Liew said.
During the five-day program, Liew was exposed to numerous innovative sights. She visited Fusionpolic, a science and technology cluster that brings together scientists, engineers, and technology experts from public and private laboratories, and the National University of Singapore where she witnessed HCI systems in the development process.
Liew also visited animation studios such as Sunwoo Asia Pacific, Rainbow Media, and Scrawl Studio, where she saw how 2D and 3D characters are brought to life on screen.
"The biggest bonus I had was the visit to Lucasfilm Animation Singapore, the famous producer of Star Wars," she said. "Walking around this enormous games development studio, I saw a preview of how they recently launched Nintendo DS Game Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance."
The participants were able to experience the local culture during their trip. They visited attractions in Singapore such as Suntec City, a shopping center, Singapore Flyer, the world's largest giant observation wheel, and the Merlion, the famous fountain of a lion's head with a fish body.
"The five-day trip was exhilarating," she said. "It not only opened my eyes to the academic, research, and development of digital media in Singapore, but I had fun learning about the city, its people, its food, and its culture. I gained so much from the trip—the knowledge, the experiences and all my new friends. "
The Experience@Singapore program is organized by Contact Singapore, an alliance of the Singapore economic development board and ministry of manpower. The goal of Contact Singapore is to attract people from around the world to work, invest, and live in Singapore.

Hikaru no Go a Hit With Grade Schoolers
Friday March 18, 2016
"I want to offer a huge thank you the AGF," writes third grade teacher Ben Ellenwood, from Portland, OR. "I can't tell you how into these books the kids are! There is a sign up list half a page long and one student has already read 4 of them. We will take good care of them and they will be well loved." All 23 volumes of Hikaru no Go are available for free, to schools and libraries, from the American Go Foundation. AGA chapters can also now order the sets as long as they are for club (and not personal) use. More info on Hikaru is here. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor. Photo by Ben Ellenwood.

AlphaGo – Sedol Watch Parties Popular at Seattle Go Center
Friday March 11, 2016
Over 60 people watched the broadcast of the first game between Lee Sedol and the Google Deepmind AlphaGo program at the Seattle Go Center. They enjoyed pizza, fresh bread baked by Chris Kirschner, and some Korean take-out food. About 25 people stayed until Lee Sedol resigned at 11:30 pm local time. The second game attracted a smaller group — they only had two pizzas, compared to the six ordered the night before.
The watch parties attracted a few new players, most of whom were invited by go playing friends. More noticeable were the old friends from the Eastside of Lake Washington, where the Microsoft campus is. Rush hour traffic often makes it hard for Eastside residents to come to the Go Center for the evening, but since these games started later, at 8 pm, it was easier for them to drive.
The Seattle will have watch parties for all of the remaining games, with Dennis Wheeler as host. "There will be three more, as Lee Sedol has committed to play the entire five-game match," noted Go Center Manager Brian Allen. The schedule will be posted on the Go Center Google Calendar.

Evanston Go Club watches historic AlphaGo-Lee Sedol match
Wednesday March 9, 2016
The Evanston Go Club hosted a watch party for the first Alpha Go-Lee Sedol game at the home of club president Mark Rubenstein on Tuesday night. "We all feel like we've been part of go history tonight," said Rubenstein. "It's an incredible achievement, one which most of us thought was many years away, if at all. I'm stunned, and a little sad. I always liked being able to say that computers couldn't beat the strongest humans. It's a new world!" Watching the game were Nathan Chan, Jeff Pratt, Moon Ki Cho, and Scott Ogawa.
- photo by Mark Rubenstein
The second game in the Lee Sedol-AlphaGo match will be Wednesday, March 9, 8p PST (11p EST). The match will be livestreamed on DeepMind's YouTube channel with English commentary by Michael Redmond 9p with American Go E-Journal Managing Editor Chris Garlock.
Tightened Procedures for Unaccompanied Kids at Go Congress
Wednesday March 9, 2016
At the insistence of staff counsel at Boston University, the US Go Congress and AGA this year will be instituting tougher procedures for the appointment of guardians for under-18s staying at BU for the Go Congress without parents, AGA President Andy Okun told the EJ. "It is more involved than in previous years, which is regrettable, but campuses and their lawyers are feeling some pressure in the wake of the Penn State scandal. More vigilance in this area seems to be both inevitable and a good thing, and this is just the year we have to start." If under-18s are staying in campus housing without a parent or formal legal guardian with them, a parent will have to sign a waiver and appoint an onsite guardian, as has been necessary since 2011. That guardian will have to be staying in the same housing and be attending Congress in the same time period, as always. The new requirement is that the guardian will also have to undergo a database background check by a third party service hired by AGA, as well as a brief online training in the protection of minors. AGA will charge the parents $25 for the background check, although the actual cost will vary and likely be more. The BU policy doesn't apply to kids who are not staying in campus housing; for them, Congress will ask parents to sign a form as in prior years, but without the need for background check or training. Congress this year has booked some rooms at a hotel near the campus and other housing options are available around Boston. Questions about the policy can be addressed to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. The forms will be ready within the next week or so, Okun said.
Google DeepMind Challenge Broadcast Update
Tuesday March 8, 2016
In addition to the live commentary by Michael Redmond 9P and Chris Garlock on the first AlphaGo-Lee Sedol game (starting at 8p PST tonight), Myungwan Kim 9p will offer commentary on the AGA YouTube channel and Twitch, starting at 9p PST tonight. Kim's commentary will be targeted for high level players. "Michael and Chris will be hosting DeepMind's official broadcast for the wide audience attracted to this historic game, so we really wanted to go deep on the variations and complexities that might show up," said co-host Andrew Jackson.
