Judge Mark Repp is running uncontested for the position of judge for Tiffin-Fostoria Municipal Court.
He has served on the Tiffin Municipal Court for 12 years and has been handling cases in Tiffin and Fostoria municipal courts for a year and a half.
Repp said combining the courts has benefited both cities by joining court services.
"In the state of Ohio, the average municipal court judge sees about 12,000 cases a year," he said. "In Tiffin, the lowest it's been is about 6,000, with the highest at 9,000."
Repp said Fostoria Court handles about 3,200 to 3,400 cases a year. In 2012, Fostoria handled about 2,700 cases.
Because of these low numbers, Repp said combining the two courts would put the number of cases closer to the Ohio average.
He said that the only downside was that Fostoria and Tiffin would not have a full-time court, but residents still would have access to a full-time clerk to provide information.
Residents also can get information online.
"Both are under utilized to a certain extent," Repp said. "But could it work? It's a resounding yes."

Richard J. Gosche - Hopewell Township trustee
Lori J. Zoeller - Hopewell Township trustee
Amanda N. Bodart - Hopewell Township fiscal officer (unexpired term)

Graver in hand again
Graver in hand again
After a respite I'm back doing engravings again. I have the privilege of working with Ginny Kahill and Dan Smith on one of their art book projects. Sean Casey runs an animal rescue in their neighborhood. It is a kind of a humane and community program. Many of the animals are exotic or have wonderful stories. Ginny and Dan are looking for the book to promote the program and it will be a kind of BEASTIARY. Here are a couple of early proofs, and iguana and a baby pigeon.

FAOSTAT Expands to Include Greenhouse Gas Data
March 2013: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) has expanded the services offered by the FAOSTAT information platform to include a domain on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as FAO expands its agri-environmental indicators to help countries identify, assess and report on environmental statistics.
The database provides emission statistics for all countries between 1990 and 2010, based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reporting methodologies. The data have gone through peer review and are now open for feedback from countries.
The database fills a gap in that only a few developing countries have submitted GHG emission reports since 1990. As a result, FAO can act as an "honest broker" in assessing GHG emissions data for the land use sector, and in providing quality control and assurances, by using its long-term global data on agricultural activities.
FAO stresses that this is not a replacement for UNFCCC reporting requirements, but that the service can provide countries with: regular updates of global and regional GHG emissions land-use trends; a platform to bridge gaps in assessing and reporting GHG emissions; benchmarks for quality control; and a framework for national analysis and dialogue. The service is supported by the FAO Monitoring and Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Mitigation Potential in Agriculture (MAGHG) project.

Photographer Franco Pagetti of VII Photo Agency has seen and documented the horrors of war. His battlefield photos are breathtaking and his reputation in the field is of fearless journalist and fabulous cook. When the bullets fly he runs toward the action and when it's over he whips up some pasta. A small villa on a farm in Tuscany is Franco's sanctuary and he takes great joy in sharing the beauty of his home and preparing food for his friends. We finally found the time and resources to visit him on our recent trip to Italy.
Franco's home in Tuscany is not the Tuscany of tour books. He lives in Polverosa and the locals prefer to say they live in Maremma not Tuscany. This is rugged Italian farmland still inhabited by cowboys and farmhands and formally by bandits and thieves. We drove through miles of rolling hills, several dirt roads and acres of recently harvested fields to get to Franco's house. He lives on an active farm currently processing the very recently picked sunflower and corn harvest.
The grounds are peppered with pomegranate trees and sits on the high land surrounded by the fields. There is a central courtyard where all of the residents have outdoor patios covered with greenery and herbs. The rosemary bushes are as big small cars and wild fennel grows everywhere. The sights and smells in this place make you realize why food is so ingrained into the culture in Italy.
On our first night Franco took us to his favorite local restaurant, Rosa dei Venti in Albinia, where among the amazing dishes we sampled the Pesce al Sale and a Ravioli with Dorado and dried tuna eggs were the standouts. The whole fish was entombed in a cave of salt and baked. The result was a fish that was steamed by its own moisture. It was flaky, slightly briny and delicious. We drank a 2004 Lagrien and a 2007 Sudtiroler (Pinot Noir). The food was fantastic but I was already looking ahead to the next night's dinner, one that Franco would cook himself.
The next two nights were two of the best meals I have ever eaten. First, Franco made a spaghetti alla vongole unlike anything I have tried. The freshness of the ingredients, particularly the small sweet clams that had come out of the Mediterranean that morning and the tiny but potent dried pepporcini peppers made the difference.
With dinner we drank a 1994 Soldera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. Gianfranco Soldera is renowned as maybe the finest maker of Brunello in the world…and it was an absolutely sublime experience. This was the most complex and exquisite wine I have ever sipped. That was true for one day until we drank a 1983 Soldera with the following night's dinner. Incredible. These wines shaded my view of everything else I drank on this trip.
We ate raw langoustines with salt and lemon and red snapper Carpaccio with olive oil and red pepper corns before we were treated to Franco's signature dish. His whole fish rubbed with salt, stuffed with fresh rosemary, wrapped in wild fennel branches and cooked over an open fire is legendary among his friends. The dish was Tuscany…rugged while elegant, simple yet complex, fresh, aromatic and bursting with flavor.
We left Maremma for Siena the next morning astounded by Franco's hospitality, generosity and skill in the kitchen. His warmth and energy made our first visit to this part of Italy very special. Franco's Italy. I can't wait to go back.

Advantages and Disadvantage of an Airplaneposted by FindAirlineCards.com
Flying has it's upsides and unfortunately, it's going to have it's downsides as well. If you've ever wondered what the upsides and downsides to travel are, I've created a pretty easy going list that will help you determine if you want to fly because let's face it, everyone isn't fit for flying.
The Advantages of Flying
Quick travel – Instead of hoping in the car to take that 20 hour road trip, you can cut that trip to about 2-3 hours. Some people just don't want to travel across the country in car. If you're a fan of driving, by all means, do it but if you don't have the time then I would recommend you fly.
Comfort – No one likes to be at the wheel of a car for 20 hours straight. Instead of being at the wheel, why not sit back in an airline seat and listen to your favorite tunes? Some airlines are more comfortable than others. I would look into each airline and see which one you like the most when it comes to comfort..
May be cheaper – This isn't always the case and this completely depends on where you travel. If you are travelling from Boston to Los Angeles, it's probably going to be cheaper to fly. You have to remember that when you're driving, you have to factor in hotels, food, gas and more.
Safer to travel – When you think of an airplane, you may not think of safety but instead, statistics show that flying in an airplane is actually safer than a car. When you really think of it, it makes sense. Think of all the people you're driving around, the weather conditions and more. When you're in an airplane, it's just you and the blue skies.
The Disadvantages of Flying
The airport – The airport can be a pain in the butt. From waiting in long lines to get through the security check to waiting in line for your flight, this can easily take four to five hours just to get off the ground compared to driving by car when you could already be five hours into your trip!
Delays – Not every city has great weather and if the city you're travelling to has nasty weather, there's going to be a delay. Sadly, sometimes these delays can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. As compared to a car, you can duke any storm that you please.
Ticket prices – I know I mentioned prices in the one above but there may be times when you may find it cheaper to travel by car. Ticket prices can be steep depending on the time you'd like to travel. Watch out for great deals if you think the price you're paying is too much.
By now, you should have a better understanding on what the positives and negatives are when it comes to flying. There are many disadvantages but there are also great advantages. Look at your trip and analyze what will be best for you when it comes to travel.

All Cracked Upby Patsy Clairmont
Sometimes if we try we can disconnect from tough problems around us, but eventually the network of fractures spreads to our front doors when a husband walks out, a loved-one is arrested, a friend betrays us, a church splits, a job is terminated, a diagnosis is bad, or a financial picture worsens. Suddenly with no place to hide from the reality we realize life is all cracked up. Through the lens of our pain everything seems broken, bruised, and battered. But, as best-selling author Patsy Clairmont points out, there's a redeemer of our pain--Jesus. The Redeemer of the broken and discarded who mends our hearts, and even gives us a reason to laugh again. Telling inspirational stories of women's brokenness and healing, with tenderness and her trademark humor, Patsy Clairmont helps us realize that we're not alone in our struggles. Jesus buoys our spirits and refreshes our tired minds. As Patsy says, "life is so much easier to bear when its shared.'
Basil and Parsleyby Patsy Clairmont
Two mice, the young Mackenzie twins Basil and Parsley, are playing hide-and-seek in the pantry and become concerned when their older brother Stinky doesn't come to find them. When they hear the signal for help their dad taught them (tap, tap, tap), they realize that their brother must be in trouble. Working together and with some unexpected help from the Spud the bully rat, they free Stinky from a mouse trap. They learn that even a bully can be kind, it's easier to solve problems when they work together, and that it's smart to know how to signal for help.

Dancing Bonesby Patsy Clairmont
We all want to live on a peaceful mountaintop where we can look down on the world below without getting hurt. With her trademark humor and style, Patsy Clairmont uses the story of "dancing bones" in Ezekiel to remind us that life in the valley can be pretty breathtaking, too.

The Hat Boxby Patsy Clairmont
There's nothing like a new hat to accentuate an ensemble. And there's nothing like "putting on" the mind of Christ to transform your life. Women of Faith speaker and best-selling author Patsy Clairmont invites readers to don their "thinking caps" and consider... "Consider the lilies..." in a garden hat. "Consider the heavens..." in an artist's beret. "Consider what great things he has done for you..." in a party hat Using a variety of Bible verses beginning with this thoughtful verb, Patsy draws parallels to diverse styles of hats. The compact format and two-color fanciful artwork make The Hat Box an ideal gift. Patsy's playful approach yields a powerful truth that we can indeed have the mind of Christ if we are willing to consider the truths He has given in His Word.

Praying with Powerby Patsy Clairmont Women Of Faith

The Women of Faith® Bible Studies provide intriguing insights into topics that are relevant to women's lives today.

You Are More Than You Know: Facing Your Fears, Find Your Strengthsby Patsy Clairmont
You Are More Than You Know, Moving from a fear-based life to faith-based freedom is a journey that takes time and courage. While remaining scared and small can feel comfortable, taking hold of strength and determination opens our eyes to a measure of the Lord's goodness we've never seen. In You Are More Than You Know, Patsy's trademark humor spills out as she answers the question she is most often asked-How did you overcome your own debilitating fears?-and along the way helps readers face their own anxieties, dismay, worries, and despair. Through honest and intimate glimpses into a heart changed by the power of hope, this book is a guide for the journey to find more of you. . . and much more of what God has for you. Book jacket.

For some, the presence of two mid-majors in the Final Four might take the luster off of college basketball's showcase event.
But to VCU guard Bradford Burgess, the Rams and Butler — the first team to ever make consecutive Final Fours without a top-three seed — have proven that success can be found outside the power conferences.
"I think it will show that the big-name recruits don't have to go to the big schools to make a name for themselves," Bradford Burgess said. "We're a bunch of guys that were somewhat overlooked by the big conferences. We're all talented players who play at a high level together. That will go a long way with the coming recruits in these next classes."
The next step, said coach Shaka Smart, will be for a mid-major to actually win the national championship. Ironically, one of Smart's mentors, Akron's Keith Dambrot, used to preach to Smart that a mid-major would one day win the title — a notion Smart used to think was impossible. Not any more.
"I hope it's possible, otherwise I should just go back to Richmond," he said.

Letters to the Editor: Gibson Scale, Glenn Beck, Aaron Liberman and Latino-Jewish Coalition
Great Americans vs.'Slimebags'
The best reasons that I read The Jewish Journal are because of great Americans like Dennis Prager and David Suissa. It is nauseating to see columns by leftist slimebags like Marty Kaplan and Rachel Roberts (the doctoral student — OMG) ("Muslim Criminals, Jewish Activists," Feb. 18). Maybe the two of them can get together and hate Israel and America together!
Laurence Gelman
'Gibson Scale' Raises Ire
Mr. Eshman owes Glenn Beck an apology for falsely accusing him of being an anti-Semite ("The Gibson Scale," March 11). Why? Because Beck dared to quote George Soros in his own words? Or, maybe, could it be that Eshman is parroting the left wing's view of Fox News, thus libeling Glenn Beck in the process?
David Halpern
When it comes to Glenn Beck, you are either ill informed or you have an agenda! Given your track record, I am going with a big ol' agenda. I don't care if you hate his politics, but have the decency to be honest about that and don't call someone anti-Semitic because you don't agree with him. I watch Fox News daily and have listened to Glenn Beck many times. Sometimes I agree with him and sometimes I don't, but he is far from an anti-Semite — he is a huge supporter of Israel and of Jews! His criticism of George Soros pertains to [Soros'] politics and the means by which he uses his resources to push his political agenda — it is not about Soros being Jewish. Beck's statement about Reform Jews was idiotic, but it was uneducated, which is not the same thing as anti-Semitism. Do you also believe anyone who criticizes the Koch brothers is religiously biased as well? Given your position of leadership in the Jewish community, don't you feel an obligation to be truthful about such issues?
Debbie Swanson
While Rob Eshman's points in his editorial were well taken, I suggest that it is insensitive and unnecessary to use derogatory terms such as "Crazy Town" and "nutter" to make his point.
There are many people of all cultures and beliefs who have struggled with their own or a beloved family member's mental illness who do not find these glib references cute or amusing.
The impact of an editorial can be very strong. A lot of damage can be done by insidious negative messages carried by the words that are used.
Diane Rowe
Rob Eshman would have us believe that he's the perceptive "guard at the gate" when it comes to outing anti-Semitic public figures. He reveals significant blind spots however:
1) While many of us sensed that the WikiLeaks mastermind was a treasonous bad guy, Eshman several months ago was reveling in the courage of the WikiLeaks characters, while enjoying the embarrassment it caused to governments around the world. The fact that Assange is a rapist and a good old-fashioned anti-Semite should not have come as a surprise to him.
2) Eshman confuses criticism of George Soros and the Reform rabbinical establishment that falsely accused Beck of anti-Semitism as anti-Semitism itself, when it is normatively called "criticism." Glen Beck himself has exposed anti-Semitism in the Muslim world and in the world of the far-left far more than any other figures in the media.
3) It is inconceivable that the newest inductee to the anti-Semitic hall of fame was carefully omitted Ron Schiller, the executive at NPR who met with a man posing as a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood, assuring him that the Zionist (Jewish) influence was minimal. Could it be that the horrible realization that NPR, the bastion of liberal media considered "home" among liberal Jews, is as horrible and even more toxic than the ranting of Hollywood psychos Gibson and Sheen?
Richard Friedman
You have proposed a Gibson Scale for rating anti-Semitism. I assume Gibson gets a rating of "one Gibson," the lowest rating in your article, for his clearly anti-Semitic remarks while under the influence of alcohol. Some argue that alcohol caused him to make those remarks and therefore he is less culpable, but many others, myself included, believe alcohol merely allowed his true beliefs to be expressed by clouding his judgment of what should or shouldn't be said to a police officer when you are a public figure.
The highest (7 Gibsons) rating was given to Glenn Beck. You cite two related examples of Beck's anti-Semitism that earned him that high rating on the Gibson Scale. One was Beck's "diatribes" against George Soros in recent months, and the other was when Beck "compared Reform Judaism to Radicalized Islam." I disagree with Beck on both of these remarks but to call them anti-Semitic, let alone earning him the highest rating on the Gibson scale, is absurd.
Glenn Beck brought up Soros' own account of his activities during WWII in Hungary when he avoided Nazi persecution by passing himself off as a Christian, accompanied a government official on his rounds to confiscate Jewish property, and, in a recent interview, denied feeling guilty about those actions. Beck clearly meant to denigrate Soros' integrity by bringing this up, and I disagree with his doing that because none of know how we would behave under similar circumstances, but how is that anti-Semitic?
He compared Reform Judaism to Radicalized Islam while he was commenting on the full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal, taken out by a large number of Reform Rabbis, denouncing his comments about Soros. His actual comment when responding to that ad were something like Reform Judaism is more about politics than religious faith and the same is true of Radicalized Islam. Even ignoring the issue of terrorism I do not believe that is a fair comparison because while the majority of Reform Jews are politically liberal, Reform Judaism does not espouse a uniform political goal whereas Radicalized Islam does – namely the institution of a Muslim monotheistic government. Beck used an inaccurate analogy, and an obnoxious one because of the tactics used by Radicalized Islam, for which he later apologized. Beck may have a low opinion of Reform Judaism's strength of faith, as do many Orthodox Jews, but this is not anti-Semitism.
It is obvious to me that in awarding Beck the highest rating on the Gibson anti-Semitism scale of anyone else mentioned in your article you were motivated more by Beck's political beliefs than any hint of anti-Semitism. I beg you not to descend into the same foul intellectual territory into which many liberals have descended when they accuse anyone who criticizes the politics of President Obama of being a racist.

J-Street Zionists?
My family and I once were dues-paying members of Rabbi Rosove's religious Temple ("Why I Support J Street," March 11). No more. While I respect the good rabbi in many aspects, his position on J Street has led me to wonder.
As a retired engineer who still is involved in consulting, serving on the board of an engineering society and editing an international engineering newsletter dealing with technical matters and challenging issues, I take issue with Rabbi Rosove's basis for support of J Street, and have discussed the matter with him in the past. Like so many others who are blinded by ideological aspirations regarding Israel's existence — and certainly mean well — he fails to face reality, fails to accept the facts that stare us in the face, and perhaps most importantly, fails to understand that the way to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is by dealing with the root cause, not just the apparent symptoms.
As an accomplished engineer in my area of specialization, I look for facts — not rhetoric, not wishful ideological thinking. In this case, the facts were quickly spelled out for me by a Muslim friend (we sometimes play poker together) who at one time was in the diplomatic service of Jordan. I quote him more or less accurately: "From the time I started school, I was taught that the land where Israel exists is Arab land — all of it." Interestingly, similar words were told to me by a Muslim woman audiologist several years earlier. The solution, then, to the conflict is not a matter of how much more Israel must give up to the Palestinians, but to stop the teaching of such ideas (brainwashing) to Arab/Muslim children.
But we need to go further. There is a problem here at home also — and likely throughout the country. I found that my granddaughter, in 8th grade here in the L.A. area, was being taught that the Jews "took away the homes of the Palestinians" when the state of Israel was established in 1948 — with no further meaningful elaboration. How many of these children will go on to college, bearing this image in their minds?
I checked the book from which they were being taught. Everything was factual — but it omitted significant information that would have provided a more proper, and more honest viewpoint.
George Epstein
While the articles and letters on J Street try to paint J Street as a mainstream organization, we can state they are primarily a leftist organization, and put up a thin veneer of Israel tolerance. You left out the divestment debate that J Street felt was appropriate to hold at their "Zionist" conference. As time goes on, and their Palestine pipedream isn't realized, we will see them make the easy transition to join their leftist anti-Zionist comrades-at-arms.

Heaps of Hoop Pride
What a feeling of Jewish pride to read about a young man named Aaron Liberman, who just happens to be an outstanding basketball player on an outstanding basketball team, Valley Torah! Did I really say that a school named Valley Torah has an outstanding basketball team ("Aaron Liberman: Finding balance between faith, basketball," March 1)? I certainly did!!
Led by Aaron Liberman, Valley Torah went on to defeat Bishop Diego in the Southern Section 6AA championship game and won the Southern Section championship — the first ever for an Orthodox Jewish school. Aaron is not a one-man team; he has a lot of support from his brother Nathaniel, Yosef Grundman, Arynton Hardy, Nathaniel Cohen, et al!!
With all that being said, I close with "Go Get 'Em Valley Torah!!!"

More Latino-Jewish Bridge-Building
Because "The New Power of a Latino-Jewish Coalition in L.A." (March 11) is also blossoming in our synagogues, I was stymied by Jonah Lowenfeld's observation that "it seems easier for these communities' leaders to support one another's unique political priorities than it is for them to identify the priorities that their communities share." On the contrary, I have found that my work as a rabbi has yielded the exact opposite. Whether I am lunching with LAUSD teacher Orinio Opinaldo or convening with Yvonne Mariajimenez of Neighborhood Legal Services on stemming foreclosures in Los Angeles, one thing is clear: We do have common interests that are not hard to identify. Lowenfeld is right in saying, "Building relationships requires conversations like these." But it is imperative that these conversations begin at the grass-roots level, not only on a leadership level. Temple Beth Am's partnership with OneLA ensures that I, along with my congregants, nurture meaningful relationships with Latinos across Los Angeles on a weekly basis, beyond the periodic meetings of high-level leaders. And that is why a Westside rabbi continues to lunch with an East side elementary school teacher.
Susan Leider
Regarding your cover story on the Latino-Jewish Coalition in Los Angeles, please allow me to add one more vital component to this collaboration. In 2008, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was accompanied by city engineers (Carol Armstrong) and members of the Los Angeles Federation (Evan Kaizer) to sign a collaboration between the Yarkon River Authority and the Los Angeles River.
This historic event was the impetus for our school, Abraham Joshua Heschel, to officially adopt a section of the Los Angeles River where we will host the Yarkon River Kiosk, which includes informative signage honoring this collaboration between the two cities. We will also include interpretive signs in both Spanish and English to teach visitors about our shared cultural and ecological heritage of the river.
Within this year, under the auspices of The Trust for Public Land, our students will be planting native species to provide a park along the banks of the Los Angeles River for residents who live in low-income housing and whose children currently only have asphalt driveways for their recreational outlet. We are excited to have the opportunity to work alongside our neighbors and use the river as our conduit for this partnership.
Thank you for providing this important story in your March 11 edition.

Using Darfur for Own Purposes
David Suissa's article on hypocrisy ("A UN Resolution Against Hypocrisy," March 11) is a good example of its topic. People who are concerned about Darfur are concerned about Darfur. They would not utilize Darfur to accomplish another objective, in this case U.N.-bashing for reasons unrelated to Darfur. As long as the humanitarian crisis in Darfur can be of use to Suissa in this way, would he really want it to stop?
I should add in passing that the premise of the article, which is that the U.N. is unconcerned about Darfur and doing nothing about it, happens to be false.
Daniel O'Hearn
This is the forth week (or the fifth) that David Suissa comes up with an article that shoots straight to the core of the issue ("A UN Resolution Against Hypocrisy," March 11).
Some years back I was lucky enough to hear Bat Yeor talking about the EU. She called her speech "The Palestinization of the EU." She gave it a new name, URABIA.
A few months later she might have called the U.N. UNRABIA as a result of the ongoing Palestinization of this organization that became a branch of the Arab League working on destroying Israel.
This is where the tragedy is. The U.N. is not defending and protecting all people but is working hard on killing a legitimate democracy, a member of the UN who, for some reason, became a beacon to refugees — real refugees — from Africa. No Arab country accepts them. Some actually shoot them.
In my opinion it is time to send the U.N. home. It does little good and it spends money on the wrong people in the wrong places — our money.
Batya Dagan
In his letter to the editor, "Examining the Jewish Position on Unions" (March 11), Michael Rosenberg is correct to note that the vast majority of American workers "have fewer days off, pay more for their benefits, are paid less… [and] see their 401(k)s dwindling." But he focuses his ire in the wrong direction.
There was a time in America when business and government recognized that a strong middle class, created by good wages, fair benefits, and yes, collective bargaining, helps power our shared prosperity. As union membership began to shrink in the 1980s, so has the standing of the American middle class. Unions are human institutions, they are not perfect. But to blame them, and their members, for our economic ills is to create a diversion while the real antagonists slink out the back door.
Elissa Barrett
Stop Glorifying All Acts of Terrorism
I am a peace activist with LA Jews for Peace, and I accept David Suissa's challenge and am ready to sign his statement that condemns "glorification of terrorism and Jew-hatred that permeates their [Palestinian] society, and begin immediately to teach the benefits and compromises of peaceful co-existence" ("Behind the Itamar Murders," March 13). In fact I go further than Suissa: I call for Israelis to stop glorification of terrorism such as the reverence paid to Baruch Goldstein who murdered 25 Palestinians at prayer in the Tomb of the Patriarchs in 1994. I call on Israelis to stop teaching hatred of Palestinians so that Israeli soldiers learn to treat Palestinians as human beings so they will no longer commit war crimes like the Goldstone Commission documented they did during the 2008-09 Gaza bombardment.
Finally, I call on Israeli leadership to teach the benefits and compromises of peaceful co-existence so they never again allow an opportunity for peace to pass them by as they did by ignoring the 2002 Arab League Peace Initiative and refusing to accept the compromises offered by Palestinian leadership as documented in the Palestine Papers.

What About Libya?
As the turmoil in Libya continues week after week, The Journal has decided to show nothing of this on its cover — why? By contrast, when the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt erupted, with their still unpredictable outcomes, The Journal's cover reflected these great changes. With in-depth articles inside. Then you veered sharply back to local issues for the past few weeks. Are you waiting to see how it all turns out in Libya? Are you undecided, like Obama? Have you received criticism over your focus on the turmoil in the Arab world? Do you think it won't impact Israel? Or are you saving Gadhafi for your Purim cover?
Happy Purim, to all of us.

Eminent Domain in Transit Planning, Clarified
Perhaps Professor Reich was missing my point in regard to eminent domain (Letters, March 4). The point within the context of my Metro article ("Just What is Jewish Mass Transit?" Feb. 25) was "the end doesn't always justify the means" and that eminent domain should not be used as a shortcut to blow off valid local concerns. Eminent domain should be a last resort and not a foregone conclusion. As Professor Reich points out, as a councilmember, I am clearly aware of the principles of eminent domain and am willing to use it in appropriate circumstances, generally as a last resort and if there are no other viable options. When it comes to placement of the Century City subway station, Santa Monica is clearly a viable option, even if politically powerful developers may have their own reasons for preferring something else.
Of course, eminent domain isn't the only way to acquire property for park-and-rides. There are multiple possibilities and one of the options being discussed with Metro is an expansion of one of my City's own parking facilities to accommodate Metro riders. While I do happen to have an inherent problem with bait-and-switch tactics and revisionist history per se, far from putting the brakes on an expansion of regional transport, I'm looking for ways to expand the utility of the subway to allow Westside residents to actually be able to take advantage of it. As it is currently planned, the extension is essentially a "one-way" subway to bring people into and out of the Westside with insufficient real access to the network for the actual residents of the region. Let's not forget that a public transportation system is not just about ridership, it's also about access. If we're going to rethink the way we get from point A to point B, let's both do it for the right reasons and do it right.
As for the issue of eminent domain, the interesting and unanswered question in regard to the Century City alignment is whether, how and in what way one public agency (Metro) can exercise eminent domain (in the form of an easement) over another government entity (the School District). This is clearly not the same as a taking from a private individual or company and I'm not sure if there is "a long tradition in American constitutional law and urban planning" regarding this specific issue.

It seems a 20-year-old woman is being charged with two counts of simple assault after she allegedly punched a 17-year-old in the face and hit him in the head with an ice pop. (I'm thinking they must be brother and sister. This sounds too much like the squabbles my kids get into.)
I understand why you'd be charged with assault for punching someone in the face, but an ice pop? Really?
A police lieutenant explained to the local newspaper that "if it's frozen, it can hurt."
Well, maybe a little, but I have to tell you that if this happened in our house, the "offender" would get a time out on general principle, but I wouldn't be very sympathetic if the "victim" (who probably would have instigated it) told me that it hurt. It's an ice pop, for Pete's sake.
But this has gotten me to thinking. If hitting someone with an ice pop really constitutes assault, I figure my husband and I are at risk of being charged with harboring fugitives -- and my kids might just be spending the next several years of their lives in jail.
I'm not sure an ice pop has ever been the "weapon" of choice in our home, but plenty of other things have:
Tonka trucks
the remote control
train tracks
. . . and probably countless other things that I don't even know about.
Who knew they were risking criminal charges? (And they think time out is bad.)

JERUSALEM, Israel - Hamas claimed responsibility for a second drive-by shooting at an Israeli couple Wednesday night near the Palestinian Authority-controlled city of Ramallah, Army Radio reported.
The attack took place on Highway 60 between the Rimonim Junction and the Jewish community of Kochav HaShachar in the Binyamin Region of Samaria, about a 15-minute drive north of Jerusalem.
Hamas has made a strategic decision to begin a new wave of terrorism aimed at Israeli settlers, according to Jonathan Fighel, senior researcher with the Institute for Counter-Terrorism at the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center.
"It's a strategic, political decision from the Hamas leadership in Damascus to express their dismay and rejection of the peace talks taking place in Washington," Fighel told CBN News.
"They are showing they have operational capabilities and a willingness to act in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank]," Fighel said.
Police reporting from the scene of last night's shooting said the vehicle veered off the road and plunged down an embankment.
Magen David Adom paramedics treated Rabbi Moshe and Shira Morano, residents of Ma'ale Efraim in the Jordan Rift Valley, at the scene before evacuating them to Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem.
Tailgated for Five Minutes
The rabbi said a car tailgated them for about five minutes, blinding them with its headlights.
"I signaled to the driver that he was bothering me and that he should pass me, but he took a long time to respond," Morano told Army Radio.
"Then, as we came around a bend, he came past me and the shooting started," he said.
Suddenly one of the automatic rifles jammed.
"One of the guns seemed to jam and that gave us the chance to roll away and take cover," the rabbi said, who sustained shrapnel wounds to his legs and a bullet in the shoulder. "I knew if they reached us, they would spray us with bullets at point blank range," he said.
"I unlocked the door and pulled my wife out, and we rolled into the ditch," he said, where he was able to use his cell phone to call for help.
On Thursday morning, a spokesman for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the "military wing" of Hamas, which had claimed responsibility for killing four Israelis in a drive-by shooting on Tuesday night, said they were responsible.
'A Message'
"The attack was a message to those who pledged to the Zionist enemy there would be no more attacks," Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida said.
Following Wednesday night's attack, Abbas issued a statement from Washington.
"We are not interested in spilling Israeli blood," Abbas told reporters. "We want the two peoples to live regular lives in real peace," he said.
Fighel said Hamas achieved another one of its goals.
"Vis-à-vis these shooting attacks, Hamas brought itself to the podium in Washington. It made prime time TV with these shootings," he said.
Meanwhile, senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar told faction members on Wednesday night that Abbas "has no right to represent the Palestinian people."
"Today marks the start of direct negotiations between someone who has no right to represent the Palestinian people and the brutal occupier, to provide a cover for Judaizing [sic] Jerusalem and stealing the land," he said.
Al-Zahar said liberating all the land between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River is both a moral and religious duty for Muslims and armed resistance (a euphemism for terror attacks) is the way to defeat the occupiers.

"Google offered only minimal amendments to its original flawed deal and the key problems remain. The Department of Justice should be commended for standing firm in opposing this private deal that unfairly benefits the narrow agenda of one company," said John M. Simpson, a consumer advocate with Consumer Watchdog.
"The DOJ filing and the outpouring of other briefs from around the world opposing the amended settlement, such as the one filed by Consumer Watchdog, make it almost certain Judge Denny Chin will reject the deal."
Consumer Watchdog filed a friend-of-the-court brief opposing the settlement on Jan 28. Filed for the nonpartisan, nonprofit consumer group by Kasowitz, Benson, the amicus brief said the amended settlement remained anticompetitive and violates both U.S. and international law.
"The settlement still abuses the class-action mechanism and purports to enroll absent class members automatically into new business 'opportunities,' in violation of current copyright laws," the Consumer Watchdog brief said.
"This scheme acts to the disadvantage of absent class members and would result in unfair competitive advantages to Google in the search engine, electronic book sales, and other markets, to the detriment of the public interest. Along the way, the settlement raises significant international law and privacy concerns."
The brief concluded: "If, as Google claims, its 'limited' search-engine activities are protected by fair use, the public deserves an adjudication on this matter, to allow the creation of a competitive book-search market. And it is up to Congress to create a solution to the orphan-works problem that would allow all potential users to benefit, while protecting the copyright holders as well as international interests. The parties simply cannot justify this 'solution' which does not adequately protect the Rightsholders and unfairly benefits a single party. Accordingly, Consumer Watchdog respectfully asks that the Court not approve the settlement."
In April Consumer Watchdog asked the U.S. Justice Department to intervene in the Google Books settlement and Justice subsequently announced it was investigating the deal and then opposed the initial settlement. Chin has scheduled a hearing on the amended settlement for Feb. 18.
Consumer Watchdog, formerly the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan consumer advocacy organization with offices in Washington, D.C., and Santa Monica, Calif.

The IMF was pleased to support and be an active participant at the 2nd Annual Czech Myeloma Group Patient Seminar. Led by Prof. Roman Hajek, the weekend seminar was held in Podebrady, a lovely spa town an hour outside of Prague. The activities began on Friday, September 1st with a Welcome Reception, which provided a wonderful opportunity for patients to meet one another in a relaxed setting, and share experiences over dinner, followed by music and dancing.
On Saturday, September 2nd Prof. Hajek opened the meeting with a warm welcome to the 200 people in attendance. Susie Novis gave a presentation updating the attendees on the activities of the IMF, its mission and the foundation's emphasis on education.
Next on the agenda were presentations from Support Group leaders of several organizations in the Czech Republic including Czech Myeloma Group Foundation, the experience of a patient organization in Germany presented by Gizela Kapustova originally from Slovakia now a leader of the Munich, Germany support group (MHM), Elena Garajova's overview of a patient organization in the Slovak Republic, and a presentation on a new organization called The Patient Club in the Czech Republic by Dr. Jaroslav Gumulec.
The day progressed with presentations covering topics that included symptoms and diagnostics of myeloma presented by Dr. Jiri Minarik, standard therapy by Dr. Evzen Gregora, and high dose therapy and stem cell transplantation by Dr. Vladimir Maisnar. Next up was Dr. Brian Durie who gave a discussion on new approaches to frontline therapy, followed by the Seminar Chair, Prof. Roman Hajek, who gave a talk on the current availability of new drugs in Czech Republic.
The area of supportive care was nicely covered with Dr. Pavol Kotoucek speaking about myeloma bone disease management, followed by Dr. Jan Straub who gave a talk on anemia management, and then Dr. Ondrej Slama gave a talk on pain management.
Next on the agenda was a video presentation, "Understanding Bisphosphonates," a collaborative effort of the IMF and Novartis, that gave an update on the importance of bisphosphonates as well as dental care in conjunction with this important therapy.
Gregor Brozeit, IMF European Director, was on hand at the meeting with the various support group leaders and doctors to discuss future projects and partnerships with the IMF.
After lunch the attendees were invited to attend breakout sessions that provided more in-depth discussions on the morning's topics.
Susie Novis was pleased to see that Prof. Hajek was leading the "Care Givers Need Care Too" breakout!
The IMF wishes to extend a very heartfelt thanks to Prof. Hajek and Iveta Mareschová for all their hard work to make the 2nd Czech seminar such a wonderful success. We were proud to be able to be a sponsor of this meeting as well as an active participant.

N.Y. Gasoline Weakens With Imports Rising, Stocks at High Levels
New York gasoline weakened as a government report showed imports increased to the highest level in three months and inventories on the East Coast stayed above average.
Imports of the motor fuel to the region rose 231,000 barrels a day, or 43 percent, to 764,000 barrels last week, according to the Energy Department. Stocks of reformulated gasoline are the second-highest on the East Coast in at least a decade for this time of year, the data showed.
The premium for reformulated, 87-octane gasoline in New York Harbor slipped 0.25 cent versus futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 11:50 a.m., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Prompt delivery fell 4.09 cents to $2.8323 a gallon.
The differential has held or weakened since May 16 amid realized and potential outages in the Atlantic basin.
Irving Oil Corp. shut a hydrocracker May 29 at the Saint John refinery in New Brunswick, Hillary Stevenson, manager of data integrity at Genscape Inc., an energy information provider, said in a telephone interview yesterday.
Statoil ASA, Norway's largest oil and natural gas producer, was refused a general exemption from a public workers strike in the country, threatening output at the nation's largest refinery and possibly offshore production.
The discount for conventional, 87-octane Gulf Coast gasoline versus futures widened 0.62 cent to 11.5 cents a gallon.

luria broth: growth
amp: shows that bacteria has GFP, which prevents ampacillin from killing the bacteria
arab: make everything glow
solutions used in lesson 2
concentrate the bacteria and release the contents of the bacteria including GFP and protein
two main purposes of lesson 3
the density of the bacteria causes it to drop to the bottom of the column
what property of the solutions does a centrifuge use to cause separation?
pellet: multiple clumped bacteria colonies
supernatant: lb/amp/ara solution
two resulting portions after centrifuge in lesson 3
lysozyme: enzyme that breaks down the cell wall and allows contents to flow out
what is the enzyme used in this lesson? what does it do?
to burst the cell and then defrost it, which will pour bacteria's contents out
what was the purpose of freezing the contents of the tube at the end of this lesson?
1) separate bacterial debris from solution of proteins
2) prepare the column for binding
3) denature proteins using BB to make them stick to the column
three major objectives of lesson 4
BB: has high salt concentration and denature proteins and makes it hydrophobic and stick to the column
purpose of BB and its purpose
WB: renature bacterial proteins, now hydrophylic proteins fall off of the beads and into the test tube, GFP still sticks to the column
wash buffer's purpose in lesson 5

First Commercial Computer
In 1947, J Lyons and Co, a British company famous for its tea-shops, began work on the Leo computers. In 1951, the LEO I computer was operational and ran the world's first regular routine office computer job. Over the following years, LEO II computers were sold to about 10 other organizations, ranging from Ford to the British Government.
Amongst the early less commercial applications developed for it: "Leo II/5 had a good 'Juke Box' program and was of course famous for playing the Sailor's Hornpipe for The Duke of Edinburgh when he visited." - is there an earlier record of a music program?
The developers of the Leo computers published a wide variety of scientific articles on computing theory, including a paper which could be said to describe the basis of parallel distributed processing (neural networks).
Wikipedia has an excellent article on the subject:
itself lists the first Univac as being delivered to the United States Census Bureau on March 31, 1951. The LEO says something somewhat vague about the first commercial business app "rolling out" in November 1951. Does government not count as a "commercial application"? It's a close call at any rate; seems like it's all in what you define as "first". First working prototype? First delivery? First running a real world app?
First Computer?
It is difficult to obtain info on the "first computer" (commercial or otherwise). Partly it is because determining such is not as simple as one might initially think. The different honors include the
of these two lists:
Output List:
First TC design (TC=Turing-Complete)
First TC machine actually built
First machine to actually use TC [1]
Technology List[2]:
First mechanical computer
First electro-mechanical computer
First electronic computer
First transistor computer (in practice, there's probably been a gradual mix)
First IC-based computer
Thus, there are at least 15 (3 x 5) mile-stones. The first TC design was Charles Babbage's mechanical machine around 1880-ish, IIRC. However, he never finished building it in his lifetime.
[1] The German machine was determined after-the-fact to be TC, although not actually used for its TC abilities at the time.
[2] To complicate things, we could also include designs versus actual implementation separately. There's also OS mile-stones, such as first multi-tasking machine.

Grant expands Mercyhurst's water research at Presque Isle
Two Mercyhurst University researchers have received a grant to continue studying the effect of herbicides, artificial sweeteners and other chemicals making their way into the waters of Lake Erie at Presque Isle State Park.
Steven Mauro and Amy Parente received $20,000 from Pennsylvania Sea Grant to augment their ongoing research, according to a news release.
The new money will allow faculty and students to extend their beach water research over a 15-month period, officials said.
Mauro already has been studying contaminants in local beach waters for three years. Parente received a grant in 2012 from the Regional Science Consortium to look for sucralose, an artificial sweetener, in the waters.
Researchers will use the new grant to help look in the waters for contaminants that include an antidepressant, an antibacterial and antifungal agent, a sex hormone, a herbicide and a chlorinated form of sucrose found in artificial sweeteners.
Parente said the chemicals have been shown to have negative health consequences.

Rick Ill enjoyed the entire week of the U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club, from dining with Arnold Palmer and Phil Mickelson to the champions' dinner to hanging out with 1981 Open winner David Graham to all the favorable comments about the East Course.
And after Justin Rose collected the championship trophy on Sunday night, Ill, who chaired the club's U.S. Open committee, spoke at a reception and said, "It was great to have our 18th USGA championship and, for all you members out there, we're working on the 19th."
Chances are that tournament could be a U.S. Open, but club officials may want the U.S. Golf Association to reserve 2030, the 100th anniversary of Bobby Jones' completion of the Grand Slam with his win in the U.S. Amateur at Merion. Before then, it could be something else.


text: food preferences So, would you eat a panda? By Barbara J King • Oct 18, 2012 Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images A Chinese scientist recently suggested that prehistoric humans ate pandas. The evidence, based on cut marks on panda bones, strikes me as thin, but the report led me to a thought experiment. How would people in the modern world react if the some population or subculture today made panda-foraging a goal? I imagine most of us would be horrified, and not only because the panda is an endangered species. The panda has become a symbol of cuteness, an animal we love to love.

SeaWolves complete sweep of Baysox
Melvin Mercedes needed only one pitch to retire Caleb Joseph, the second-leading home run hitter in the Eastern League.
With the bases loaded and two outs with a two-run lead, Mercedes induced an easy fly ball to pick up a clutch save as the Erie SeaWolves not only swept the doubleheader Sunday, but finished a four-game sweep of the Bowie Baysox in one of the most important homestands this season.
Jamie Johnson scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning in Game 1 to give Erie a 3-2 walk-off win in a game that was suspended Saturday because of rain.
The SeaWolves then rallied from an early four-run deficit in the first inning to hang on and beat the Baysox 9-7 in front of 2,537 fans in the second game at Jerry Uht Park.
"The bottom line is, there is a lot of confidence with this team right now," Erie manager Chris Cron said. "It's very noticeable and a lot of fun. This entire homestand we haven't given up. In the second game we are down 4-0 right away and we don't just cry in our milk. We buckle up our chin straps and keep grinding away. We have to keep that mentality and keep grinding things out."
Erie improved to 56-49 and moved to one game behind Harrisburg for the lead in the West Division.
The SeaWolves also have 31 wins at Jerry Uht Park, which ranks second in the Eastern League. Bowie dropped to 53-54 and is four games behind Erie for second place in the division, which is the final playoff spot.
The SeaWolves and Baysox started Sunday in the bottom of the fifth inning in a 2-2 game, which began Saturday but was suspended after a 78-minute rain delay.
After a few scoreless innings, Johnson almost cost Erie a run in the top of the seventh inning.
With Trayvon Robinson at first base and one out, former Erie SeaWolves infielder Niuman Romero flew out to right. Johnson thought it was the third out and tossed the ball to the stands. The ball ricocheted off a railing and came back in to play as Robinson took second.
"I thought there were three outs and normally I just carry the ball in with me to the dugout," Johnson said. "A little kid was asking for the ball so I threw it to him but it was just a combination of bad luck and me not being locked in."
Johnson then caught the final out of the inning and flipped the ball to center fielder Daniel Fields.
Johnson then found redemption. He drew a two-out walk and went from first to third on a Eugenio Suarez base hit. With Fields at the plate, Johnson scored on a wild pitch to give Erie a wild walk-off win.
"When I went to the plate, I knew I had to do something to redeem myself and help the team," Johnson said.
Erie carried that momentum over to the second game.
Despite Warwick Saupold allowing four runs in the top of the first, Suarez homered and Tyler Collins drove a two-run homer over the right field wall, his 17th of the season, to cut the lead to 4-3.
The two teams went back-and-forth until Erie grabbed a 9-6 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning.
James McCann tripled with a one-run lead and scored on the play as Bowie committed a throwing error. Wade Gaynor then singled, stole second, took third on a throwing error and scored on a Brandon Douglas base hit.
In the top of the seventh inning, Bowie scored a run and loaded the bases with two outs before Mercedes came in for a one-pitch save.
"This was a very important series with Bowie right behind us," said Fields, who drove in three runs on two hits in Game 2. "It was good for us to come out and get the sweep and get more distance in the standings."

People often dread a going to their dentist's office. Now, an Oregon woman has a new reason to avoid the annual six-month visit.
Karen Butler used to sound just like everyone else from Toledo, Ore. But after an oral surgery procedure, she woke up speaking with a foreign accent.
"She went. She had her teeth worked on She came home with a different voice, same girl," Butler's husband, Glen, said.
No one can determine what kind of accent she has, but Butler is learning to live with it.
"You just get whatever pops out of your mouth," she said.
Doctor suggested time would take care of the problem.
"That was at Thanksgiving time," Butler said. "Christmas came and went, and it still didn't go away."
The 56-year-old tax consultant has managed to retained her sense of humor.
"If you open up your mouth, somebody says, 'Oh, where are you from? Where did you get your accent?,' Well, I got it from my dentist in Toledo," Butler joked.
Butler believes she has Foreign Accent Syndrome. There are only about 60 known cases worldwide.

Russia Orders Obama: Tell World About Aliens, Or We Will | EUTimes.net1
January 24, 2013 by The Fundamental Sine Wave
"A stunning Ministry of Foreign Affairs MFA report on Prime Minister Medvedev's agenda at the World Economic Forum WEF this week states that Russia will warn President Obama that the "time has come" for the world to know the truth about aliens, and if the United States won't participate in the announcement, the Kremlin will do so on its own.The WEF The Forum is a Swiss non-profit foundation, based in Cologny, Geneva and describes itself as an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.The Forum is best known for its annual meeting in Davos, a mountain resort in Graubünden, in the eastern Alps region of Switzerland. The meeting brings together some 2,500 top business leaders, international political leaders, selected intellectuals and journalists to discuss the most pressing issues facing the world, including health and the environment."
via Russia Orders Obama: Tell World About Aliens, Or We Will | EUTimes.net.
Not that I don't believe Aliens exist but I think this is another PsyOp or it could be the beginning of NASA's Project Blue Beam. A top secret project that fuelled my initial foray into alternative research many a year ago. Of course we also have the research from David Icke. His work indicates that it is Extra dimensional beings that are already here and controlling the world through genetic manipulation of certain select members of the human race. Such as Presidents. Global Bankers, Prime Ministers. Royals, etc.
Anyway Project Blue Beam was the plan to bring in a one world government under a one world religion by staging (faking😉 ) the return of the anti-Christ or even staging an Alien invasion. The project was a lot more complicated than that explanation but you get the idea.
This latest stance from the Russians is probably not the real thing. If we do suddenly see little green men in the streets of America I reckon it will be the biggest staged, false flag event we will ever witness.
Using holographic technology they may stage a fake Alien invasion, that will send the worlds religious and social beliefs into question. Then through the same tech they would stage a worldwide "so called" spiritual message from the true god. Of course all fake.
The video was shot several years ago but demonstrates that the technology needed to carry out such a mass deception is being researched and implemented today.
I know this all sounds wacky but I never take anything that comes out the media, or an announcement like the one detailed above, as the whole story. Keep in mind Project Blue Beam and other such projects when reading these kinds of statements. Understand that they could have the tech to stage such events and could easily dupe us all.
Or maybe the Russians mean what they say. After all I do believe Aliens exist and I think our Governments do work with them, or at the very least know of their existence. Or Icke is spot on, in any case, do I have hard proof, no, but that is no indicator that my instinct is wrong. Plus the circumstantial evidence uncovered by researchers over the years is far to much to be ignored so lightly. Give me proof for the opposite then I shall say "fine, I got it wrong!".
As I said my position is that their is always more to it than first meets the eye. After all why would those that seek to control us and control our knowledge of the Universe (especially if they themselves are aliens), just come out and unveil the biggest ever secret. They would if they had an agenda that we where not privy to.
Love to you all.
P.S. Please listen to my next podcast. It will be out shortly here on the FSW.
Watch this video on new technology that the Mail Online recently covered. Making an object appear as a different object. The video does not refer to Project Blue Beam or Aliens, however it seems clear that they have technology that could make a bunch of fighter jets look like alien craft, if they wanted!

All Pet Rescue in Fort Pierce emptied, animals taken in by other groups
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A pet rescue facility is now empty after the SPCA of Indian River County says the owner was overwhelmed with animals and couldn't take care of them.
The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office won't release details, saying it is an active investigation regarding animal welfare, a Sheriff's Office spokesperson said.
The president of the Indian River County chapter of the Socieity for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said it was a matter of life or death.
Video taken inside All Pet Rescue in Fort Pierce shows dozens of dogs inside cages in a large metal shed. SPCA President Van DeMars filmed the video. Volunteers who assisted with the rescue said the cages were dirty, many animals didn't have water and there was little ventilation.
"A couple of us almost blacked out trying to get them," said Jacque Petrone, founder of HALO pet rescue in Sebastian. "The heat was so intense."
DeMars said he knows the owner of All Pet Rescue. "She admitted that she needed help."
DeMars said they seized 52 dogs last week from the property off Okeechobee Road and 23 cats on Wednesday after police and animal control were called in to help.
"I was heartbroken about the whole situation with the cats and seeing what they looked like," said Steven Brauer with HALO.
The cats were taken to Highlands Animal Hospital in Sebastian while the dogs were transported to HALO.
"I think there's going to be some respiratory stuff going on," said Petrone. "There's some heartworm in the dogs. They were all hungry. They were all overheated."
The SPCA said the owner was trying to help the homeless animals but was quickly overwhelmed.
"(I) call it 'compassion fatigue'," said DeMars. "People are so afraid of seeing animals in distress that they take them into their homes."
DeMars said it's happening more often. HALO said it rescued 50 animals last week from another private shelter that was overcrowded and couldn't take care of them.
"It happens very quickly," said DeMars. "It happens so fast that most people don't even know it's happened."
The investigation into All Pet Rescue is still open and no charges have been filed so far.
The organization has been operating for several years. On Wednesday, its website was down and its Facebook page had been removed.
