Fostering is not an easy job and not everyone can do it, Villalon said.
"In our foster program we look for people who want to take their compassion and put it to work. We call it 'active compassion,' people who are willing to get their hearts broken when a kitten they foster doesn't make it or maybe because it does make it, because then you have to let go and say goodbye," she said.
Foster parent volunteers are also provided with some attention as well. The Boulder shelter recently conducted an information-sharing foster care survey of 18 animal shelters across the country. Although no national standard for foster care exists, many of the groups the shelter surveyed have developed comprehensive levels of support and training that challenge volunteers "to raise the bar" and learn new animal care skills. One organization even provides volunteers with the opportunity to be part of a fostered cat's life after it is adopted; other groups offer regular grief counseling sessions or support groups.
In addition, many foster parents discover they are the best adoption counselors for their fostered cats, Villalon said. They know the ir kittens' personalities and habits and often accompany them back to the shelter to help adopt them out during busy adoption days. Many cats in Boulder are placed by their foster families and never return to the shelter, she said.
Cut to seven weeks later: Jasper, mischievous, healthy and neutered, graduates from foster care into the humane society's adoption program. In seemingly record time, he catches the attention of a loving family. Jasper is adopted and goes to his new home.

Lemieux set for Gates
By Dave Spencer / Fightnews Canada
After annihilating 23 of 24 opponents, all within the first five rounds, knockout sensation David Lemieux once again headlines tonight at the Bell Centre in Montreal. The opponents have been ratcheting up for the Montreal middleweight who destroyed both Hector Camacho and Elvin Ayala in the opening round in his last two outings.
Seven year pro Purnell Gates of Michigan gets the call and is faced with the unenviable task of trying to slow the runaway freight train Lemieux who is due to face off against Marco Antonio Rubio for a WBC (that already boats two champions at middleweight already) silver belt tentatively set for April. Purnell boasts an impressive 18-1 record but the majority of his wins have come against sub-500 opponents.
"He's never been stopped, so we'll see what he's got," Lemieux told Fightnews as he stepped off the scales yesterday. "I've never seen him before, so we'll just have to go in there and find out." (more…)
Bracero still unbeaten
Undefeated jr welterweight Gabriel Bracero (13-0, 1 KO) cruised to an eight round unanimous decision over Hector Alatore (16-12, 5 KOs) in the main event on Wednesday night at the BB King Blues Club in New York City. Scores were 80-72 on all cards. Alatore has now lost 10 of his last 11.
Heavyweight Tor Hamer (13-1, 9 KOs) outpointed journeyman Demetrice King (15-19, 13 KOs) over eight rounds by 80-72 scores on all cards.
The knockout of the night was scored by super featherweight Javier Fortuna (13-0, 10 KOs), who starched previously unbeaten Victor Valenzuela (8-1, 1 KO) in one round. Fortuna is trained by Gabriel Sarmiento and advised by Sampson Lewkowicz, the same team which backs the reigning middleweight champion Sergio Martinez.
Mexico vs. Japan for WBC titles
A Promociones del Pueblo fight card is in the works for February 2011 in Mexico City. In dual headliners for WBC world titles, Mexico will challenge Japan. In the main event, former world champion Jhonny Gonzalez (47-7, 41 KOs) will take on WBC Featherweight Champ Hozumi Hasegawa (29-3, 12 KOs) in a title defense. It will be Gonzalez's first attempt at a legit world title since falling to WBC Super Bantamweight Champ Toshiaki Nishioka in 2009. Since the loss, Gonzalez is on a seven-bout win streak. In the co-main, Juarez super featherweight Mickey Roman (32-7, 24 KOs) will take on WBC Super Featherweight Champion Takahiro Ao (20-2-1, 9 KOs), also from Japan, in a title defense. The exact date of the card will soon be announced.
Bringing back the old Pokrajac
Paying attention to the details of preliminary matches isn't always a frequent occurrence among fight fans.

In the opener, Cuban Olympian Luis "La Estrella" Franco (7-0, 5-0) tries to keep his unbeaten streak alive against Eric "Outlaw" Hunter (15-1, 8 KOs) in a ten-round featherweight bout.
Muñoz vs Kameda on Dec 26
By Gabriel F. Cordero
The WBA has formalized that former world champion Alexander Munoz will dispute the vacant WBA bantamweight world title with former world champion Koki Kameda on December 26 in Japan. The WBA consulted the medical advisory committee who recommended that Kameda's originally scheduled foe Lorenzo 'Lencho' Parra not fight after coming in slightly heavy at a pre-fight weigh-in. "The boxing commission of Venezuela conducted the 30-day weigh-in for both Parra and Muñoz," said WBA Executive vice president Gilberto Jesus Mendoza. "According to the medical report, Muñoz complied with the weight, but not Parra, who was the first choice for the match." WBA Medical Advisory Committee Chairman Dr. Calvin Inalsingh informs that an active boxer can not be over 5% above their weight to fight at any time. It is been known that there are two firm offers for Parra, one in January for the WBA interim belt against Mexican contender Hugo 'Cuatito' Ruiz, and the other against Anselmo 'Chemito' Moreno in Panama in February also for a world title.
Q&A: Vinny Maddalone
By Przemek Garczarczyk
Heavyweight Vinny Maddalone, who is a veteran of battles with Jean-Marc Mormeck in France and Denis Boytsov in Germany, will fight close to home on December 9 at the Prudential Center in Newark. The problem is that he's fighting Polish two-time world champion Tomek Adamek (42-1, 27 KOs), whose red and white wearing fanatics will pack the place. "I know it will be like fighting in Poland, but I'm sure I will see a lot of my supporters from New York in the stands. I also know that I have to make this fight a street fight, a brawl, if I have a chance to win. But I want to shock the world…" said Maddalone. (more…)

Montreal rivals square off
Dave Spencer / Fightnews Canada
In a matchup that has been talked about on and off for the past three years, Montreal rivals Sebastien Demers (31-3, 11 KOs) and Renan St Juste (21-2-1, 14 KOs) meet up Friday night at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Both combatants are coming off upset losses that dropped them from the top ten in the world rankings and hopes that a victory along with the vacant WBO NABO super-middleweight belt will put them back to where they once were. The loser will be forced to deal with the dubious reality of losing two in a row. (more…)
Q&A: Anthony Mundine
By Craig Watt
In an intriguing match up on December 8th at the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia former two weight world champion Anthony 'The Man" Mundine (40- 3, 24KO's) takes on Australian Contender winner Garth Wood (9-1-1, 5KO's) at middleweight. The fight with Mundine is the contracted prize for Wood's efforts in winning the Contender Series in Australia when he outpointed Kariz Kariuki in an absorbing final back in January. On paper it seems a straight- forward assignment for Mundine who has not lost since his 2005 when he was outpointed by Mikkel Kessler but many people believe the 32 year old Wood has a puncher's chance in a Rocky Balboa type cameo appearance.

A few intriguing questions will be answered Friday night on ShoBox: The New Generation LIVE on SHOWTIME® (11:05 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) from the Chumash Casino Resort.
– Will Hollywood's Lateef "Power" Kayode (14-0, 13 KOs) increase his knockout streak to 14 in a row when he faces Ed "The Georgia Thumper" Perry (17-4-2, 1 NSF) of Frankfort, Ind., in a 10-round cruiserweight main event?
– Will former Cuban Olympian Luis "La Estrella" Franco keep his unbeaten streak (7-0, 5-0) alive and continue to move up the ranks against a tough Philadelphia fighter Eric "Outlaw" Hunter (15-1, 8 KOs) in a 10-round featherweight bout?
– Will both Perry and Hunter be able to take advantage of a great opportunity and play the role of the spoiler on national TV and shock their higher profiled opponents?
All four fighters weighed in on Thursday with Kayode coming in at 199 ¼, Perry at 198 ¾, and both Franco and Hunter tipping the scales at 125 ½ pounds. (more…)
Mormeck edges Ibragimov

SHOWTIME bantam tourney quotes
Photos by Howard Schatz
Four of the world's most talented bantamweights participated in a national media conference call to discuss The Bantamweight Tournament: Winner Takes All – a two-stage, single-elimination tournament of 118-pounders – which begins with two Semifinal bouts on Saturday, Dec. 11, LIVE on SHOWTIME® at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) from Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington.
In the opening bout, undefeated, world-ranked rising star Abner Mares (20-0-1, 13 KOs), of Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico, will face two-division world champion Vic "Raging Bull" Darchinyan (35-2-1, 27 KOs), of Sydney, Australia, by way of Armenia. Then, former IBF 118-pound champ Joseph King Kong Agbeko (27-2, 22 KOs), of Bronx, N.Y., by way of Ghana, Africa, will try to earn back the title from the man that won it from him, current IBF champ Yonnhy "El Colombiano" Perez (20-0-1, 14 KOs), of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., by way of Colombia.
With a win over Darchinyan, Mares could earn a rematch against Perez, who he fought to a disputed majority draw last May 22, or face the hard-hitting Agbeko. If Darchinyan wins his semifinal bout, he could face the last man to beat him, Agbeko, who won a close, unanimous decision in July 2009.
Regardless of the scenarios, storylines and matchups, each boxer starts the tournament on Dec. 11 with the same chance to make, and win, the Final – and ultimately earn bragging rights as the best bantamweight in the world.
All fighters in The Bantamweight Tournament are guaranteed two fights within the tournament structure – Semifinals and Finals. The winners of each Semifinal will fight for the Bantamweight Tournament Championship with the losers fighting in the consolation fight on the same night. In the event of a draw in the Semifinals, SHOWTIME will determine the Championship opponent based on tournament performance. For more details and photos click here…

Arreola to face Abell
Not long ago, Cristobal Arreola had won his first 27 pro fights; was ranked as the #1 heavyweight contender in the world; and was arguably the most popular and exciting heavyweight boxer worldwide since Mike Tyson. However, all thoughts of Arreola taking over Tyson's reign dissipated after a hard-fought world title loss to Vitali Klitschko, when the Riverside, California knockout artist ballooned up to 263 pounds for his next fight and has been criticized for his lack of conditioning and desire ever since.
Now 29-2 (25 KOs) and desperate to regain respect and acceptance as a legitimate contender for a world heavyweight title, "The Nightmare" will take on hard-hitting southpaw Joey "Minnesota Ice" Abell (27-4, 26 KOs) in the scheduled 10-round main event of the Goossen Tutor Promotions presentation of an ESPN2 "Friday Night Fights" telecast from the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California on January 28, 2011 LIVE at 10 PM Eastern/7 PM local.

Khan, Maidana on showdown
By Chris Cozzone
"A lot of people say Marcos Maidana is a bigger puncher," Amir Khan told the media today during a national teleconference. "But I'm one of the biggest punchers in the division – and I have speed."
Needless to say, Khan promised a victory when he steps into the ring against Marcos Maidana in a 140-pound WBA title fight at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, December 11.
"We'll go after him and, after we break him down," said Khan's trainer, Freddy Roach, "we'll knock him out in the late rounds."
Miguel Diaz, Maidana's trainer, said to expect a much different fighter than the Maidana who struggled in his last fight, against Demarcus Corley. "We've had great sparring and Marcos is in very good condition," said Diaz.
Maidana talked about defeating Khan – whether his opponent was foolish enough to mix it up with him, or if he had to chase him down. "If he wants to stay with me, it's no secret that it's my fight," said Maidana. "But if he moves around? I'm okay with cutting off the ring and beating him in the corners or against the ropes. It's gonna be my fight either way." Stay tuned for a full report on Monday.

Dean and Meby James Kaplan Jerry Lewis
They were the unlikeliest of pairs--a handsome crooner and a skinny monkey, an Italian from Steubenville, Ohio, and a Jew from Newark, N.J.. Before they teamed up, Dean Martin seemed destined for a mediocre career as a nightclub singer, and Jerry Lewis was dressing up as Carmen Miranda and miming records on stage. But the moment they got together, something clicked--something miraculous--and audiences saw it at once. Before long, they were as big as Elvis or the Beatles would be after them, creating hysteria wherever they went and grabbing an unprecedented hold over every entertainment outlet of the era: radio, television, movies, stage shows, and nightclubs. Martin and Lewis were a national craze, an American institution. The millions (and the women) flowed in, seemingly without end--and then, on July 24, 1956, ten years from the day when the two men joined forces, it all ended. After that traumatic day, the two wouldn't speak again for twenty years. And while both went on to forge triumphant individual careers--Martin as a movie and television star, recording artist, and nightclub luminary (and charter member of the Rat Pack); Lewis as the groundbreaking writer, producer, director, and star of a series of hugely successful movie comedies--their parting left a hole in the national psyche, as well as in each man's heart.In a memoir by turns moving, tragic, and hilarious, Jerry Lewis recounts with crystal clarity every step of a fifty-year friendship, from the springtime, 1945 afternoon when the two vibrant young performers destined to conquer the world together met on Broadway and Fifty-fourth Street, to their tragic final encounter in the 1990s, when Lewis and his wife ran into Dean Martin, a broken and haunted old man.In Dean & Me, Jerry Lewis makes a convincing case for Dean Martin as one of the great--and most underrated--comic talents of our era. But what comes across most powerfully in this definitive memoir is the depth of love Lewis felt, and still feels, for his partner, and which his partner felt for him: truly a love to last for all time.
Dean and Me: A Love Storyby James Kaplan Jerry Lewis
Before the string of hit songs, the Rat Pack, and the stellar movie career, Dean Martin spent ten years partnering Jerry Lewis in one of the most successful double acts of show business history. In this wise-cracking yet candid memoir, Lewis recalls with crystal clarity the highs and lows of his relationship with Dean: remembering their first meeting on a New York street corner one spring afternoon, the early improvised performances in mob owned nightclubs, and the giddy days of Hollywood super-stardom, when it seemed the couples high-rolling lifestyle would last for ever. It didn't. On July 24th 1956, Dean and Jerry split and the two men weren't to speak to one another for twenty years. Jerry Lewis is one of the few surviving Hollywood legends from the period and he is a wonderful raconteur whose tales reveal much about Dean Martin's craftsmanship and enigmatic charm. In his own unique voice he evokes all the glamour of the era - the casinos, the endless pranks, the cocktails, the mobsters, and the women. He writes movingly too of the thrill of the youthful duo's sudden, startling success, and the slow sad erosion of the fun that followed.
Frankby James Kaplan
Bestselling author James Kaplan redefines Frank Sinatra in a triumphant new biography that includes many rarely seen photographs. Frank Sinatra was the best-known entertainer of the twentieth century--infinitely charismatic, lionized and notorious in equal measure. But despite his mammoth fame, Sinatra the man has remained an enigma. As Bob Spitz did with the Beatles, Tina Brown for Diana, and Peter Guralnick for Elvis, James Kaplan goes behind the legend and hype to bring alive a force that changed popular culture in fundamental ways. Sinatra endowed the songs he sang with the explosive conflict of his own personality. He also made the very act of listening to pop music a more personal experience than it had ever been. In Frank: The Voice, Kaplan reveals how he did it, bringing deeper insight than ever before to the complex psyche and turbulent life behind that incomparable vocal instrument. We relive the years 1915 to 1954 in glistening detail, experiencing as if for the first time Sinatra's journey from the streets of Hoboken, his fall from the apex of celebrity, and his Oscar-winning return in From Here to Eternity. Here at last is the biographer who makes the reader feel what it was really like to be Frank Sinatra--as man, as musician, as tortured genius.From the Hardcover edition.
Frank: The Voiceby James Kaplan
Bestselling author Kaplan redefines Frank Sinatra in a triumphant new biography that includes many rarely seen photographs. He reveals Sinatra as man, as a musician, and as a tortured genius.
Sinatraby James Kaplan
Just in time for the Chairman's centennial, the endlessly absorbing sequel to James Kaplan's bestselling Frank: The Voice--finally the definitive biography that Frank Sinatra, justly termed "The Entertainer of the Century," deserves and requires. Like Peter Guralnick on Elvis, Kaplan goes behind the legend to give us the man in full, in his many guises and aspects: peerless singer, (sometimes) powerful actor, business mogul, tireless lover, and associate of the powerful and infamous. In 2010's Frank: The Voice, James Kaplan, in rich, distinctive, compulsively readable prose, told the story of Frank Sinatra's meteoric rise to fame, subsequent failures, and reinvention as a star of live performance and screen. The story of "Ol' Blue Eyes" continues with Sinatra: The Chairman, picking up the day after Frank claimed his Academy Award in 1954 and had reestablished himself as the top recording artist in music. Frank's life post-Oscar was incredibly dense: in between recording albums and singles, he often shot four or five movies a year; did TV show and nightclub appearances; started his own label, Reprise; and juggled his considerable commercial ventures (movie production, the restaurant business, even prizefighter management) alongside his famous and sometimes notorious social activities and commitments.From the Hardcover edition.
You Cannot Be Seriousby James Kaplan John Mcenroe
Autobiography of tennis star.
You Cannot Be Seriousby James Kaplan John Mcenroe
John McEnroe was just an eighteen-year-old amateur from Queens when he stunned the tennis world by making it to the Wimbledon semifinals in 1977. He turned pro the following year after winning the NCAA singles title; three years later, he was ranked number one in the world. McEnroe dominated tennis in the eighties, winning three Wimbledon and four U. S. Open titles. His 1980 Wimbledon final match with Bjorn Borg is considered by many tennis experts to be the best match ever. You Cannot Be Serious is McEnroe at his most personal, a no-holds-barred examination of contemporary tennis, his championship seasons, his cantankerous on-court behavior, his marriage to Tatum O'Neal, his current roles as a devoted father, husband to pop star Patty Smyth, senior tennis tour player, and controversial television commentator, and much more. Funny, biting, close to the bone, this is exactly the book you'd expect-and want-from one of the most colorful figures of our time.

A Concise Guide to Catholic Social Teaching (Concise Guide Series)
A Timely Resource for Understanding, Teaching, and Implementing Catholic Social Teaching As parishes and schools intensify efforts to promote Catholic social teaching, here is a welcome distillations of scoial principles presented in both papal encylicals and pastoral letters developed by American bishops. Following the structure of the U.S. bishops document Sharing Catholic Social Teaching, the book speaks to seven significant themes:
Life and the Dignity of the Human Person
Call to Family, Community, and Participation
Rights and Responsibilities
Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers
Care for God's Creation Each chapter includes reflection questions ideal for individual or group usage, and an appendix offers biographical information about popes who have issued social encyclicals, suggested homily themes and a Reconciliation Service for Justice and Peace. Sure to become an invaluable resource for all pastoral ministers, A CONCISE GUIDE TO CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING is also suitable for parish adult study groups, and high school and college classes on Catholic social teaching. REVIEWS Father Kevin McKenna's Concise Guide to Catholic Social Teaching is a real gem which offers both the Church professional and the person in the pew an insightful and understandable presentation of this rich treasure of the Church's heritage and practical suggestions for its implementation. -- Howard J. Hubbard Bishop of Albany A Concise Guide to Catholic Social Teaching is an invaluable resource for parish and community groups. It provides solid grounding in the Church's social teachings as the basis for initiatives undertaken in promoting the gospel of justice. It is "user-friendly" and practical. -- Anne Curtis, RSM NETWORK, A National Catholic Social Justice Lobby Fr. McKenna provides a useful introduction to the social writings of the popes and U.S. bishops by grouping these writings around Catholic social teaching's seven major themes. The pastoral tools included are readily adapted for various settings. -- Msgr. Kevin Sullivan, Ph.D. Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of New York Father McKenna has provided a thematic compendium of some of the marvelous insights present in Catholic social teaching. His summary of various Church documents will be helpful to supplement any discussion of the historical and political implications of "perplexing social issues" and to develop an appreciation for the Church's willingness to struggle with these issues over time. -- Helen Marie Burns, RSM Vice President, Sisters of Mercy of the Americas

What better way is there to learn how to conquer the world than through gaming? None. Probably. I only say probably for the sake of leaving an argument open to opposing viewpoints, but honestly all of those viewpoints are wrong. Gaming allows us to visualize the attack like no other medium. We unsheathe mythological swords that have been embedded in stone for centuries. We multitask better than anyone else with training through Real-Time Strategy games. We breed assassins in every commander-in-chief with First-Person Shooters, even if we learn to never light a gun through peace treaties in Civilization. The smorgasbord of genres available make conquering the world easy.
Preparations for battle, upgrading weaponry to stay powerful, and devising journeys for reclaiming the throne are prominent lessons in Role-Playing Games. Menus might never have been as important as those such as the Junction system or Crystarium screens in Final Fantasies VIII and XIII. Victory is literally impossible without taking the necessary precautions, which RPGs teach us. While preparations can take hours to master in turn-based RPGs like Tactics Orge, finally figuring out how to correctly manipulate the board within the rules of the system reveals the exploits of the game. Sure, we can grind our way through years of life to gain experience and money until we become more powerful than we can imagine, too.
Yet as our experience and money grows, we've gain so many new possessions that some of the old ones have to be sold, so that we do not over encumber ourselves like in the Elder Scrolls. It's always tough to give away our prized possession, although upgrades help to shake the feeling of loss with one of more powerfulnessnessness. Sometimes just combing two old materias will smelt a new kind of magic for ourselves, and everyone can be happy with the product like in Final Fantasy VII. It's times like these that our future kings have to keep their eyes on conquering the world.
All the while during these preparations, the party has to decide on when we're ready to travel to the next town. Multitasking can overwhelm most normal people, which is why gamers are extraordinary. Not simply ordinary, RTS players have that extra prefix, because of all the work they do. We've got an innate ability to find ludicrous amounts of minerals very near our command center. Simultaneously commanding economic, political, and military orders to their race can tax the mind completely. Only a special person could succeed. A person who clicks at a rate higher than 100 actions per minute has a decent chance at survival. How astonishing that the workers so rarely call in sick, even on weekends!
Even so, the occasional, extra special NPC will be necessary; someone with extraspecial powers that were researched in a lab, or top secret intelligence not known to be released by the evil enemies. Rest lightly, since enemies will show themselves at some pretty inopportune moments, such as when you thought you just saved your princess. That's when you not only have to travel to the next town, but also to the next world. Luckily, those worlds will be hyphenated and have names to ensure we voyage to the precise address where our gold and secret weapons have been stored. We would all of this and more to prevail against our adversaries.
We stop at nothing to save the ones we love, even if they don't realize they need to be saved. When you're a lonely princess who wants a companion, nobody's going to look like Bowser, even though they really do. Therefore, getting kidnapped by Bowser can happen over and over again for someone as innocent and sweet as a peach. In these cases, knowledge and understanding on infiltration will remain paramount to triumph. Through villages peppered with annoying bards who beg for money, across rivers where wolves lurk to prevent us from getting to grandma's house, above bottomless pits that should've been fixed by construction workers so chubby plumbers wouldn't have to jump so much, and below the unsuspecting eye of evil - whatever it takes.
If appropriating all of these tasks seems tons more than the average person can handle, well, it is. Conquering the world relies on the strength, perseverance, and preparation through years of gaming. Through it all, we'll probably never get the respect we feel like we ever deserve. Our sporadic experiences through life will smack those ignorant to our ways, when the time comes. When we will all become kings and sit on our thrones, we will have conquered the world. Then we will push restart, conquer and watch the throne again.
