February 28, 2013 It is not a logical step fowarrd. If telecommuting is over-used or abused at Yahoo that is just a sign of bad management, not a bad way of working. I am an experienced veteran of in-office and home-office working. I know when I need a face-to-face and when I can function optimally without it. Maybe they just need to hire good people managers and smart, self-driven employees. Just sayin Beth (OMG! Yummy) recently posted..

Oxygen depth profiling in Zn coated steel
Dynamic SIMS is widely used for the microcharacterization of metallurgical samples, thanks to its unique advantages: low detection limits for all species (H-U) including atmospheric species, possibility to use isotopic tracers, and capability to visualize their distribution in three dimensions.
The IMS 7f-Auto unique depth profiling and ion imaging capabilities are applied to studies on a wide variety of materials: diffusion phenomena in polycrystalline samples, surface imaging analysis in alloys, study of inclusions and segregation effects...
C segregation in a steel sample.
Field of view: 250 x 250 μm2.
Hot-dip galvanization is a common process in steel industry: steel is coated with a zinc layer by immersing the metal in a bath of molten zinc (with a 0.3wt% Al amount) at 450°C. Coated steel surface may show undesired and unaesthetic alternated cm-scale bright and matt areas.
On the right, optical image of the coated steel surface showing bright and matt areas.
In this study, dynamic SIMS depth profiling was used to investigate the chemical composition of the two different areas, bright and matt. SIMS technique contributed to the understanding of the formation of the matt areas (caused by the segregation of oxide particles during the coating cooling and solidification). The steel coating process could then be optimized, greatly improving galvanized steel surface visual appearance.
Oxygen and Aluminum SIMS depth profiling obtained on two different areas of the steel sample, bright and matt.
The O concentration over 30-200nm, corresponding to Oxygen segregated after solidification, is significantly higher on matt areas.

LoGiRL interviews Ozeki Mai - http://logirl.favclip.com/article/detail/303
Ozeki Mai LoGiRL Interview TranslationMai seems confident! Enjoy!How did you feel when you were told you were in Country Girls?I was very surprised, but also happy. "Country Musume" was renamed to Country Girls. The fact that it was going to be a new group made me happy.Did you receive the news with the 12th Generation auditions?Yes. I went to the final selection and had failed, but I had been chosen for Country Girls.The audition gave you the chance (to be in a new group)?For about two years I had been dancing and singing in my house, so I liked it. But, I hadn't really thought about joining Hello! Project, so I didn't think about auditioning. After my mother said, "You're not going to try?" I felt better about about trying. So, I went through the first and second stage willingly, and then I became one of the last people standing. At that point, my feelings changed to "I can't be done after I have come this far,".How were other's reactions to you joining?My friends watched the announcement on Hello! Station and said "Wo~w! Mai is in a movie~!" with happiness.At school, it was kind of like being a celebrity, right?I had been telling people to watch the video's of me singing and many had the reaction of "I've seen it already~". It wasn't embarrassing to me, as I had kind of wanted to become like a celebrity at my school and everyone had saw the video eventually.Your solo part in "Itoshikutte Gomen Nee" isn't embarrassing to you?I like it when the fans will yell out "Woo~" at my part, its fun.When Country Girls was announced, it was also announced that Momoko would be the playing manager, but its hard to see how she is going to be involved. How do you feel about it?There was some time to consider it before the Hello! Concert rehearsals. So, I had thoughts like "Are we going to sing Country Musume songs?" "Are there going to be other Hello! Project members involved? Are we going to perform at the Hello! Concert?". However, it was made clear at rehearsal. I am very inexperienced, so the realization of everything swept over me quickly and I thought "Wow, this is Hello! Project". After seeing all my senpai rehearse I realized "I'm going to dance with these people on stage,".Didn't it make you nervous to rehearse so close to your senpai?I was nervous, but also very impressed by them. Uta-chan likes Natsuyaki Miyabi, so she would always always be watching a video of her and would call me over to watch too. One time, Miyabi passed our dressing room and and said "Uwa!" when she saw what we were doing. I think that our feelings for her were conveyed at that time.Has your life changed since joining Country Girls?Thus far my life has been pretty laid-back. And yet, during the Hello! Concert rehearsals I was singing and dancing every day. Its very fun, but it's definitely difficult. I have been very busy so I haven't been able to contact my friends, but, I'm pretty happy anyhow. Its a strange feeling, but it seems like something a professional would do.Please tell us your favorite Hello! Project songs.Uwa~ There's a lot of them, but I like C-ute's "Tokai no Hitorigurashi" and also Berryz Koubou's "Love Together!" and "Towa no Uta".Do you think there is something special about you within the group?I have an energetic image, but because I am always energetic, I can be noisy. Within Country Girls I think that the other members are mostly more lady-like, so there isn't anybody that I can get excited with. But, Sasaki Rikako is like me, so we can be loud together happily.Do you think you have a rival within the group?Probably "The timidness inside me,". I don't think I have a rival within the group yet, as I feel like we all have fun together.What member have you been paying attention to in other units?The new Kenshuusei unit Nomura Minami. We have the same birthday. Besides that we also talk often together. Minami has a sharpness to her dancing, so I am always watching her.What is your goal within the group?We have just started so we're all a little timid, but I'd like to improve my skills and gradually get better through practice.Please give your personal appeal.Country Girls hasn't been around for very long, but I'm going to double my efforts to catch up with everyone. I want to work hard to do my best!http://acorntimes.tumblr.com/
Ozeki's uncle owns a ramen shop and her face is being used in the menu:
So in Manaka and Mai Pink!ss appearance that Amped posted, they had a fortune teller guy looking at their horoscopes/personal traits.Manaka: Hard working, doing things quickly if being praised which could mean that her true nature is irresponsible or rough、continually thinking about pervert stuff.Mai: Like to think and reason things out, so she has a tendency to ask things, but she does not like to listen. Her fortune will increase in November this year. Some nice opportunity might come by that time.

Eight Different Teams in Top 12; Labonte and Andretti Discuss Current Parity in Sport
Huntersville, N.C. (March 3, 2009): The 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season may only be three races old, but already some different story lines have developed. The strong races by Michael Waltrip Racing, Hall of Fame Racing and Stewart-Haas Racing have helped place a total of eight different teams in the current points championship chase. Drivers such as David Reutimann, Bobby Labonte and Michael Waltrip are currently in the chase hunt. Others, like Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin and Ryan Newman, have had bad luck and now must climb to the front.
Bobby Labonte and John Andretti comment on the new season:
Bobby Labonte, Sprint Cup Driver and President of Breaking Limits:
"Yeah, I think you are always happy to get a good start to the season. It doesn't hurt, but a lot of guys know it's a long season. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his team understand they are better than where they are in points right now. There are also a few other drivers who are going to come back to the front, too. It just helps when you're already there. If you have a strong base it makes it easier to move forward or help catch you if you have a bad weekend.
"It's good to see a lot of diversity at the front right now. Our sport needs this and it's great. There are a lot of Michael Waltrip fans who are happy, Tony Stewart has to have a lot of relief and confidence now and look at a young driver like David Reutimann. It's all about building confidence."
John Andretti, Driver of the No. 34 Window World/Front Row Motorsports Chevrolet:
"Trust me, guys like Mark Martin, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Ryan Newman will not be there long. These teams know they aren't bad teams, but it shows that everyone can have some bad luck. Right now, it's like a lottery. The points are going to bounce all around and you're going to see some guys jump up big and fall down big.
"A team like Front Row Motorsports, we are being smart. We are keeping in the top-35 and doing that by being smart on the track. We run hard, finish all the laps and get a good points day. That is really helping us. I look behind us and know there are some guys coming in the points. We just have to keep building and getting better. We've proven a lot already.
"I'm sure the fans have to love this. You see more teams up front and it's great. You never want to see someone stink up the show. It's early, but it's a good sign to see a lot of different guys running up front."

One-meter-high T-beams were constructed and laid out across the foundation, which acted as anchors for the structural beams of the garage.
Rocks and dirt were filled in between them, and a layer of cement was added on top, creating a solid foundation while forming the garage floor.
By November, the support beams were constructed out of reinforced concrete and rebar, and the underground walls of the garage were constructed and water proofed.
The walls of the pool were constructed too - yes there will be a pool! I can give credit to my sister for that one. Our dad has always thought they were ridiculous on an island with the most beautiful beaches, yet she managed to convince him that there would be no way to rent the house to tourists without a pool. Eventually we plan on working with a company to rent the home during the months we aren't there.
The wooden molds of the garage ceiling (essentially the ground floor of the house), and the molds of the garage walls stayed in place for about a month until the concrete completely dried. The metal support pipes you see below were left in the garage during that time.

View of the staircase leading up to the ground level
Looking outside the garage door
By December, the molds were taken off, and the garage started to look like - well a garage.
Looking into the garage
Looking at the staircase leading up to the ground level
Looking out the garage door
Most of December and January, work was at a standstill as the crew waited out the winter rain. The following are a few photos we received in mid-February that show the space between the walls of the garage and the retaining wall, which you see being built here on the right. The reserved dirt that was removed back in October will be returned to fill up this space to the ground level - and if you can imagine, that will be the backyard.
Looking at the street from the ground level. Almost everything you see here will be filled in with dirt.
And there you have it! The photo above is what the view will be from the ground level, and it's pretty much what the house looks like today. During the month of April the steel frame of the house will go up, and I'll have more photos to share with you then.

Following the Dog into a World of Smell
Posted by
October 7 2016
Back in 2009, Alexandra Horowitz's first book, Inside of a Dog, made it to the top of every bestseller list. Heralded in this magazine and by others who wanted to learn what it means to be a dog, it delivered on the promise of its subtitle: What Dogs See, Smell and Know. It also introduced many of us to the concept of Umwelt—another's perception of the world—coined by biologist Jakob von Uexküll.
Imagining what it is to be a dog and to enter a dog's subjective world was, and still is, an entrancing prospect. What better guide to the "inside of a dog" than a comparative cognitive scientist like Horowitz? She writes in a clear vernacular: accessible, erudite, poetic and downright friendly. No wonder her first book became such a sensation.
And now we have her new book, Being a Dog: Following the Dog into a World of Smell, which not only delves deeper into dogs' amazing sense of smell, but also considers the human olfactory capacity, even if it is rather paltry compared with that of dogs. Truly understanding another species requires that, as ethologist Frans de Waal has explained, "we need to try to step outside our own narrow Umwelt and apply our imagination to theirs." That is exactly what Horowitz brings to her books.
Similar to recent books such as Being a Beast by Charles Foster (where the author literally lived underground as a badger), or Thomas Thwaites' excursion into the Umwelt of goats in GoatMan, in Being a Dog, Horowitz learns to polish her own sense of smell. She undertakes this quest not only to better understand what she might be missing, but also, to get a glimmer of how dogs' noses help them navigate their world. The book begins with a look at the canine nose, which "is rich in a way we humans once knew about, once acted on, but have since neglected." Following the lead of her two dogs, she puts her "nose to the places the dog nose goes."
We all love factoids about dogs, and this book delivers a trove of them: Dogs scratch up the ground after they poop in order to transmit their personal message to other dogs; their paw pads have scent glands and digging spreads their odor, broadcasting their signal far and wide (canine social networking in action).
Wagging tails serve a similar purpose, spreading the scent from their anal sacs. They smell when they dream; watch their nostrils twitch. Dogs rarely mark over their own urine postings. Males like to sniff tail areas first, while females prefer to start with faces.
We learn about the physiognomy of their smelling instrument, from nostrils (nares) to olfactory epithelium and vomeronasal organ, or VNO, and up to the brain's olfactory bulb. When they sniff, they start with either the right or left nostril, depending on what they're investigating. Unlike other senses, nostrils are ipsilateral, meaning that an odor entering the right nostril goes to the right side of the brain for processing, and one entering the left goes to the left side.
Horowitz takes us on a grand tour of scent-work professionals, from the Working Dog Center at the University of Pennsylvania to the University of Washington's scat-detection dogs, with stops along the way to visit other working and detection dogs. At the book's end, she treats her dog Finnegan to classes in nosework, which quickly become what she calls his "Favorite Place on Earth." Definitely something in which all our dogs would love to partake.
It seems that for most of us, smelling isn't something we practice much. One of the most remarkable comparisons she draws is the difference in the endowment of olfactory sensory cells (epithelium) between humans and dogs. As she explains, "If his olfactory epithelium were spread out along the outer surface of the dog's body, it would completely cover it. In humans, ours would about cover a mole on our left shoulder."
While we have a long way to go to catch up with our dogs, by the book's end, the author has us tapping into our puny epithelium, sniffing and snuff ling. We thank Alexandra Horowitz for providing this inspiration.
Dog's Life: Lifestyle

Recently, our dog Lola got a little too personal with a skunk and wound up with a face full of stink. To remove the offensive smell, we very carefully washed her with the go-to formula of 4 cups hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup baking soda and 1 teaspoon dish soap—that did the trick. Her leather collar was still pretty smelly, however, so I took another approach for it. After soaking it in warm water with 2 teaspoons baking soda and letting it air dry, I applied Skidmore's Leather Cream with beeswax to both sides to recondition and soften it up. That not only worked like a charm, it also added a refreshing aroma.

How many calories does a dog need?
Posted by
September 24 2016
Keeping dogs healthy is important to us so we've created new calorie requirement estimator and food counter apps. We are hoping that these web-apps will come in handy for you to try your hand in cooking for your dogs. You can make all the meals for your dogs, or simply add home cooked meals as a supplement to the manufactured food.
The first thing to do is to confirm or calculate how many kilocalories your dog requires to be fed on a daily basis (Daily Energy Requirement or DER). The total calorie requirement should be divided by the number of meals (usually 2) fed to your dog daily. All treats and snacks also need to be accounted for and their calories should be subtracted from the total that will be provided in their meals. It is always recommended that before making changes to a dog's current diet you discuss this plan with your veterinarian. Do keep in mind that there are a number of different approaches that are used to calculate a dog's caloric needs so while our app calculates your dog's DER, there are other formulas with slightly different results (we have included a chart that uses another popular measurement, the Maintenance Energy Requirement, that you can also follow.)
Screenshot of Bark's DER Calculator
Do keep in mind that these calculations are really only estimates. Also, it is important to note that every dog is truly an individual, and their current weight, activity level, age, intact or neuter, physiological condition and other factors must also be considered. No matter what formula you use, the best way to judge a feeding plan's efficacy is by simply keeping track of any weight loss or gain, and adjusting accordingly. And again, it is good to consult with your vet before making any changes to a dog's diet.
Ingredient Calculations:
When calculating the calories for ingredients, there are a variety of sources that can be used. I decided to do compute calculations in ounces to make it simpler for myself, and others to use. The ingredients we have included in our chart are the most common ones found in home cooked meals. If there are ingredients missing you can use any of the online calorie sources that we have noted under the chart to add those to your list.
A digital kitchen scale is definitely the easiest when to know how much any ingredient weighs—you need to measure the actual weight, not the volume (such standard measuring cups measure).
When using the slow cooker approach to making dog meals, you will also need to factor in the weight of the water you use in cooking the meals. So if you use 6 cups of water, or 48 ounces, that weight will need to be added to the total weight of the ingredients, to get an accurate calculation how many calories there are in one ounce of the food. Most slow cooker meals are around 20 to 35 calories per ounce.
As Dr. Greg Martinez has noted in his slow cooker recipe, you will need to provide supplementation to most diets (especially those that do not incorporate any manufactured food). Common supplements include calcium (or bone meal) about 1 tsp per pound of food, Vitamin E (2 IU per pound of dog daily), and either sardines in water (one-quarter to one tin twice weekly) or one to three 1,200 mg fish oil capsules daily (Dose is based on 10 to 30 mg/pound of DHA and EPA).
In my investigations into home cooking for your pet I have used a variety of excellent sources that you might also like to consult. Here is a sampling of the books, websites, and services:

William Shakespeare, who died 400 years ago this year, was no slouch when it came to mentioning dogs in his work. In fact, adding up the various canine-isms—dog, cur, hound—gives a total of well over 250 appearances. He also was the first writer to use the compound noun "watchdog." However, Master Will didn't seem to feel kindly about dogs. More often than not, references were used to bury a character, not praise one. Let's see how up you are on his works.
Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war. —Julius Caesar
The cat will mew and dog will have his day. —Hamlet
The little dogs and all, Tray, Blanch, and Sweetheart, see, they bark at me. —King Lear
Bulldogs are adorable, with faces like toads that have been sat on. —A Midsummer Night's Dream
My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind, So flewed, so sanded; and their heads are hung With ears that sweep away the morning dew. —A Midsummer Night's Dream
I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon, Than such a Roman. —Julius Caesar
I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow, than a man swear he loves me. —Much Ado About Nothing
I am the dog: no, the dog is himself, and I am the dog— Oh! the dog is me, and I am myself; ay, so, so. —The Two Gentlemen
of Verona Thou callest me a dog before thou hast cause. But since I am a dog, beware my fangs. —The Merchant of Venice When night dogs run, all sorts of deer are chas'd. —The Merry Wives of Windsor
Talks as familiarly of roaring lions as maids of thirteen do of puppy dogs. —King John

Well, it looks like recent research into prehistoric Japanese graves proves, at least, that dogs were indeed our long-time hunting companions. In this fascinating study written by Angela Perri recently published a fascinating study that proves just this. This line of inquiry started when she was a grad student at Durham University in the UK. As David Grimm writes in Science:
"She wanted to get a sense of how dogs may have aided early humans in taking down game, so she did her best to approximate the activity: In 2011, she joined a group of Japanese businessmen on a wild boar hunt in a dense forest near Hiroshima. 'It was terrifying,' says Perri, now a zooarchaeologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. 'The boar sound like a train. They're very aggressive, and they have big tusks. At any moment, one could come charging at you.'"
But the biggest takeaway she got was just how impressive the dogs were during this hunt. Not only did the 5 Bloodhounds and Shiba Inus help to track down the prey, but they also warned the humans when the boars were nearby.
That got Perri interested in investigating Japanese research papers for anything about dogs and the Jōmon culture—hunter-gatherers from 16,000 to 2,400 year ago. They lived in the northern islands with a cold climate filled with large terrestrial megafauna of the Pleistocene, like Naumann's elephants and Yabe's giant deer. But during the Holocene, 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, there was a climatic warming displacing the larger animals with smaller, quicker ungulates like sika deer and wild boar. As Perri notes in the Antiquity paper, "This environmental shift … led to the creation of new exploitation niches for Jōmon foragers, including important variations in plant availability, coastal resources and terrestrial prey species."
Perri's research has involved studying dogs as "hunting technology," and as she noted, "A hunting partnership between dogs and humans has long been postulated in the archaeological literature, with some researchers suggesting that such a collaborative alliance was the basis for the initial domestication of dogs. She points out that, "Dogs are an important, and in some cases indispensable, hunting aid for many modern forager groups, as they probably were for foragers in prehistory." And explains that, "Injured deer often run, leading hunters on long chases, and wild boar can be aggressive and quickly learn to evade capture. Hunting dogs mitigate these factors by tracking blood trails, forcing game into vulnerable positions (e.g. in water) and holding prey until the hunter can make the final kill."
Perri was familiar with the significance that dogs had with many ancient cultures, and how the ethnographic record has confirmed their importance and the revered status many of the dogs obtained, which often was displayed in the manner they were buried in "remarkably human-esque ways, often with grave goods and markers."
She performed a comprehensive survey of Japanese archaeological literature, and found that the Honshu Jōmon did bury their canine hunting partners in shell middens, same as they did with humans. And found over 110 canine burials from 39 archaeological sites. "They were treating their dogs the same way they treated their human hunters." And, "Like people, the dogs (which may have resembled Shiba Inus) were placed singly and appear to have been arranged in particular postures. 'They looked like they curled up and went to sleep,' Perri notes. Some had suffered what appeared to be hunting injuries—broken legs and teeth—and many of their bones had healed, suggesting people had taken care of them. Some were also found with grave goods, like shell bracelets and deer antlers." Their ages ranged from newborn to over 12 years old. While the prehistoric puppies weren't certainly valued as hunters, she noted that "the ethnographic record shows that puppies in hunter-gatherer groups are often valued for their potential as future hunting partners."
Along with the burials themselves, Perri found that the "importance of hunting dogs in this region is also demonstrated by the numerous dog-shaped clay figures (dogu), including a set that features a dog barking at three wild boar." Or, "One Yayoi representation of dogs is found on a ceremonial bronze bell (dotaku) depicting a number of scenes, one of which is a boar surrounded by a hunter and a pack of dogs." As shown here:
A 2500-year-old bronze bell depicting a Jōmon hunt with dogs. Image courtesy of Tokyo National Museum (http://www.tnm.jp/)
Perri concludes that while dogs were an integral part of the ancestral forest hunting culture, once an agricultural subsistence culture took over, the dog burials stopped as well.
As Grimm noted in his article and quotting Melinda Zeder, an archaeozoologist at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History, "it may be a disparity in loyalty. "Humans were a bit of a fair-weather friend—we were not as reliable as they were," she laughs. "We could do to be a little more doglike." We couldn't agree with that sentiment more.

Hoping to increase adoption rates
Antioch High School (in Northern California) is pairing up their cross country team with dogs from the Antioch Animal Shelter. This past Thursday they launched a practice session of their Panther Tails Program. The group of student athletes ran the one-mile from their school to the shelter to pick up their four-legged teammates and then continued for another 3 miles along the historic downtown area.
The program was the brainchild of the school's community liaison, Trine Gallegos to foster student community spirit and the adoption of shelter dogs.
She was inspired by another school who was doing this and saw their post on Facebook. She brought the idea to cross-country coach Lisa Cuza and principal Louie Rocha, and they quickly signed on. The students themselves were so excited with the idea that they got their release forms signed in what seemed like record time.
So on Thursday (Sept 15) six shelter dogs, volunteers, the head coach, and the runners, set off for their trial run. The dogs sported black and gold bandannas to show "their panther pride." Everything went smoothly and the students and dogs had great fun. It all worked out so well that next week they'll be running with 10 dogs!
Let's hope that not only did these pups get the much needed exercise and time out of the shelter, but the community will cheer on their Panther team by rushing to the shelter and adopting these amazing dogs. Plus, hopefully this idea will spread further—so pass along this great idea to your local shelter or high school.

Dog parks have come a really long way in the past 20 years. Once deemed a mild curiosity (and perhaps an irritant) by most city and county park departments, they are now at the top of the list of community "must-haves." Since 2007, their numbers have grown by 80 percent, according to a recent report from the Trust for Public Lands, which surveyed the nation's 100 largest city park systems.
As noted in their report, 2016 City Park Facts, "Nearly every big city now has at least one dedicated dog park, often with a name that reflects the creativity and exuberance of the movement. Fort Worth pups play at Fort Woof, Memphis pets frolic at Overton Bark, Dallas dogs run at My Best Friend's Park and Atlanta pooches scamper at Freedom Barkway."
As we all know, we're hooked on dogs and love our outdoor R&R time with them, watching them make new friends as we share the latest with other dog folks. Park planners and advocates are catching on; as Peter Harnik, who led the study noted, "Americans love dogs, and parks increasingly reflect that fact as people want places to get outside and take their dogs with them."
According to the report, the top five dog-park cities are Henderson, Nev.; Portland, Ore.; Norfolk, Va.; Las Vegas, Nev.; and Madison, Wisc.
We have to hand it to all those "exuberant" dog park advocates: our hard work has paid off.
Dog's Life: Humane

Little Allie has a true Cinderella tale. I first encountered her at a former landfill-turnedpark along San Francisco Bay's eastern shoreline. Lola, our Pointer spotted her; I just heard warning barks, then saw a flash of white fur. The next two mornings, same thing. Curious, I contacted Mary Barnsdale, a friend who heads that park's dog user group, and learned that they had been hearing stories about this elusive stray going back almost six months, but no one had been able to pinpoint a location. Now we knew where to find her!
Animal Control, stretched thin, didn't have the personnel to corral her, so Mary turned to Jill Posener of Paw Fund to see if she could humanely trap the little dog, and I gladly volunteered to help. The first two tries came up short, but on the third day, we went out at the crack of dawn, set the traps with hot fried chicken—Jill's go-to lure for hungry dogs—and bingo, we got her!
Albany PD officer Justin Kurland helped us ferry Allie in the capture crate to the parking lot. He, too, was thrilled; he had often seen her when out on park patrol, but she always eluded him. (For more about Allie's rescue, see thebark.com/allie.) It's amazing to consider how much intelligence and resourcefulness it took for such a young, small dog to survive on her own. Since there's nothing in the way of food or fresh water at this park, her feat is even more impressive.
After a brief stint at the Berkeley shelter, Jill fostered Allie, got her ready for an adoption event and, in short order, found her the perfect match: Mary Lou Salcedo, a retired senior. As Mary Lou told us, "Allie gives me so much happiness after I lost my Bichon at the age of 16. Now I found my new companion." Mary Lou has the time, patience and tender love that Allie deserves.
We are overjoyed to show her off on the cover in a photo taken a scant three weeks after her capture. The photo was taken by Mo Saito, who recently set up his Doghouse Photos studio near our office. A former London fashion photographer, Mo made a turn dogward in this country. He has a masterful skill, which he put to good use in getting this shot —while Allie wasn't fearful, she was rather busy exploring the studio. Thankfully, Mary Lou's friend, Chase Wilson, a San Francisco firefighter and ardent dog lover who's been invaluable with Allie's training, came along to help wrangle her. We think you'll agree that she, Mo and Mary Lou did the trick.

Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?

In Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? Frans de Waal presents a fascinating history of the study of animal behavior and cognition. De Waal, who says his love of animals dates to his childhood, is a worldrenowned primatologist and ethologist and director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. We asked him to shift gears and give us his take on the canine mind.
Bark: Konrad Lorenz (co-founder of your field) wrote Man Meets Dog in 1954. And while it is still one of the best, if slightly flawed, books on canine behavior, why did it take so long for ethologists, and other researchers, to to study dog behavior?
Frans de Waal: Dogs were (and are) considered imperfect subjects of study because they are "unnatural." Many ethologists, including Lorenz, feel that natural behavior under naturalistic conditions is what we should focus on, and the dog is a product of artificial breeding. Lorenz liked all animals, however, and so couldn't resist describing his dog stories, and we should all be grateful.
Clearly, the dog is a mammal with many typical mammalian tendencies, so now scientists are finally seeing that the fact that they are domesticated also has advantages. For example, they are eager to work with us, they are generally not dangerous, they are smart, they have empathy. Lots of great things can be done with them. And they are easier to work with than other large mammals, such as apes and dolphins.
Bk: Can you give an example of how other species, including dogs, demonstrate empathy?
FdW: American psychologist Carolyn Zahn-Waxler sought to determine at what age children begin to comfort family members who sobbed or cried "ouch." It turns out that children do so at one year of age. In the same study, Zahn-Waxler accidentally discovered that household dogs react similarly. Appearing as upset as the children by the distress-faking family members, the dogs hovered over them, putting their heads in their laps with what looked like great concern. This work has recently been repeated in different studies, more focused on the dogs themselves, and it is clear that these animals show empathic concern for humans.
The ancestor of the dog, the wolf, probably behaves the same. If "man is wolf to man," as Thomas Hobbes liked to say, we should take this in the best possible way, including a tendency to comfort the whimpering and help the needy. This insight, of course, would undermine much of political philosophy based on Hobbes' dog-eat-dog view of nature.
Bk: Do you think human bias has played a part in some of the canine cognitive studies?
FdW: At first, dogs were rated as more intelligent than even apes and wolves because they followed the direction of human pointing (at a bucket with food), whereas apes and wolves ignored human directions. Then it was found that wolves raised in a human home will act more like dogs, following human pointing, suggesting that the earlier failures with wolves were probably due to lack of bonding and attention. The same probably applies to the apes. Now, dogs are seen not just as smart but rather, as finely in tune with the species that bred them.
They have a special bond with us, as also reflected in the oxytocin studies, which show that human-dog contact increases this "cuddle" hormone in both. The dog is perhaps the only animal that performs at its peak when tested by humans, whereas many other animals are not so into us, hence need to be tested in different ways. This is yet more proof that cognitive testing of animals always needs to take into account what kind of animal we are dealing with: we need to find the most species-appropriate way.
Bk: In contrast to behaviorism's reward/ punishment model, ethology views animals as "seeking, wanting and striving." Why do you feel the latter is a more productive way to look at animals?
FdW: The behaviorists (followers of B. F. Skinner) totally overlooked natural animal tendencies. Trying to explain all behavior on the basis of reward and punishment, they could not explain why you can train a dog to fetch, but not a rabbit or a goat.
Predators are obsessed with small moving objects, which we see every day in our dogs as well as cats. Their interest sets up a learning situation where they are going to absorb many lessons about how to catch these moving objects, how to trick them, how to outsmart them. Dogs eagerly learn all of those things.
Reward and punishment are only small parts of the story; their natural hunting instinct is, in fact, the driver of the process. This is where behaviorism failed. It had some good ideas, many of them applicable to animal training, but its perspective was far too narrow as it lacked attention to natural tendencies and the evolution of behavior.
Bk: Why do you think Darwin used dogs to illustrate emotional continuity?
FdW: Darwin was a dog lover, and he knew that to get his message across about the continuity between human and animal emotions, the dog would be the easiest way to communicate. Darwin mostly worked on the expression of emotions (it's hard to know what animals feel, but we can at least document how they signal various states, such as fear, submission, anger, affection). Of course, the dog is very expressive with its postures, facial expressions, tail-wagging, growling and so on. Darwin knew that most people could relate to all of this, and would have more trouble if he described other species that people have less exposure to.
Bk: In terms of an evolutionary advantage, how important is it for a species to have self-awareness, or theory of mind?
FdW: These capacities require large brains. In terms of recognizing oneself in the mirror or understanding what others know, the champion species are apes, dolphins, elephants and perhaps also the corvids (crow family). This doesn't mean that dogs lack them. They probably have similar understanding, but not as fully expressed.
The more complex the societies of a species, the more demands there are on cognition, and perhaps canines do not need social understanding at the level of an ape or dolphin. I feel we need to judge animals on what they are good at and what they need to know to survive. In this regard, canines have lots of specialized skills, often related to their sense of smell, their pursuit of prey, their need for tight cooperation and so on. This is where we should test them out, and probably find remarkable skills.
Bk: Clearly, emotions are important to the understanding of behavior; how do they relate to and inform one another?
FdW: In my book, I left emotions out on purpose because I felt it would muddle things. But there can be no studies of cognition without attention to the emotions, and vice versa. The two go hand in hand. In our famous capuchin monkey experiment with the grape and the cucumber, for example, you can see not only that the monkeys judge what they get relative to what others get, but also their strong emotional response. You cannot study the one and ignore the other.

New Points of View of Shelter Dogs
Posted by
September 2 2016
Two new books, both well-investigated works, merit your attention. The Underdogs by Melissa Fay Greene is a fascinating, absorbing and inspirational read about the power of love to help those in need, while The Dog Merchants by Kim Kavin introduces an out-of-thebox idea involving a rating system that just might change how we get our dogs. Both are out just in time to make it to the top of your summer must-read list.
Greene's book is an examination of the power of the bond between dogs and children with disabilities, but its purview extends much further. The two-time National Book Award nominee interweaves personal stories of children, their families and a few unforgettable dogs with current research and scientific findings on the cognitive and emotional lives of dogs and the human/ canine bond. The main story revolves around a remarkable woman, Karen Shirk, and the service dog academy, 4 Paws for Ability, that she founded in 1998. It was the first organization to train skilled service dogs with public access for young children.
We learn how Shirk's own experience —developing myasthenia gravis as a young adult and being saved by a dog —motivated and inspired her to become a leading advocate for service dogs for young children with disabilities. 4 Paws trains dogs for highly specialized work, including seizure alert, mobility assistance and autism assistance; the goal is to never exclude a child "because a disability did not fit in a box."
Greene profiles some of the families who have been benefited profoundly by graduates of this program; their compelling and uplifting stories pull on your heartstrings. Just how this connection between a dog and a child is established, and what motivates dogs to bond so deeply to their young charges speaks volumes for the intensity of crossspecies attachment.
Some of these dogs are truly are underdogs, adopted from shelters and trained in a nearby prison-based program. In a chapter called "Prison Dogs," we have a good example of how adroitly Greene blends congruent storylines— those of the families and their children with, in this case, stories of the importance of the dogs to the inmates, along with overviews of research into "why humans feel happier in the presence of dogs." Greene is a gifted and caring storyteller, and she gives her subjects the intelligence and warmth they deserve. This all makes for absorbing, pleasurable and inspirational reading.
In Kavin's Dog Merchants, subtitled Inside the Big Business of Breeders, Pet Stores and Rescuers, she investigates the various channels through which dogs are purchased—keeping in mind that there are differences of scale between those who broker commercial puppy sales and those who provide shelter/rescue adoptions. Both, however, involve financial transactions. Her basic premise is that we as buyers need to be aware of our marketplace choices. Through crowdsourcing our views, she says, we might be able to make a difference. "We need to be conscious consumers when it comes to our dogs. None of us likes to think of our beloved dog as a product, but legally and financially, that is what dogs are."
In the first half of the book, she takes us behind the scenes of the commercial dog world, from dog auctions to dog shows like Westminster (of which she is no great fan), breeders and the largescale brokers who provide overpriced puppies to pet stores. The second half focuses on rescuers and shelters, and what makes some of them more successful than others. The book also has a very useful chapter with questions that ought to be asked of breeders or shelters before getting a dog.
Kavin has developed a companion website, dogmerchants.com, that has listings for thousands of breeders and rescuers/shelters, and is now taking reviews and your suggestions. Might this change the way dogs are marketed? Will negative reviews actually expose those breeders or other "dog merchants" and have an impact on the way they do business? Will it hold them to account? Will it promote those who receive positive reviews? Kavin is definitely putting a lot of effort into weeding out the bad and "making the world a better place for dogs." We can only hope that this works. While we might have questions about how the comments on the site are being vetted, we do applaud her for both it and her book.
See our Q&A with Kavin and read an excerpt from Dog Merchants, plus read an excerpt from The Underdogs.

As people who are always so busy with work, my friends and I often find our topic of conversation in the realms of love and relationship when we want to unwind. I guess it's because of the influence of Disney movies, but some of us tend to see finding "the one" as the end. For most women, it's a good end. I find my prince and we live happily ever after, the end. For some guys, they verbalize it as a bad end. Game over, pare, you've been caught. But either way, I don't think it's a good way to think of marriage and relationship. Marriage is the beginning of a partnership. Not the end of a quest. If we see marriage as the end all, then after the marriage, what else is there? The objective has been met, but the game isn't done yet.
If we think about life as a level of a game, our one true love isn't the princess we need to save. It's the rare item we pick up along the way. The princess we need to save is actually the representation of our life mission. Our one true love is the power up that gives us an advantage as we go on our quest to save the princess.

Itching for a road trip after completing a month of Whole 30 (which makes it extremely tough to eat out), I wanted to explore a new city. Well, new to me anyway. Back before I met Keith, right after he got out of the Navy, he chose Tulsa to live. At the time, it was American Airlines hub and he had great visions of being able to travel easy being located in the middle of the country and get cheap flights. The reality was a low paying job and barely making ends meet.
For me, Tulsa was always represented by the movie The Outsiders, and even though that movie is old, and many of the places featured in the film were long gone, I still wanted to check the city out.
So, Tulsa for the weekend. We stayed in the Aloft hotel (gotta love pet friendly urban hotels) and it was super easy to walk around downtown Tulsa. Our first visit was at Hey Mambo that had pet friendly outdoor seating. Samantha garnered much attention (of course) and we enjoyed walking around, with a visit to the center of the universe. Last time we visited the center of the universe, it was in Idaho – who knew there were so many centers?

Mr. Seitz just isn't following the right buy/sell pages. Plenty of AR-15s for sale if you know where to look.
I understand that Facebook does not ban FFLs posting guns for sale, only private sellers, right? If so, Forbes either missed or glossed over it, and Seitz missed it completely.
Which makes things somewhat interesting in Canada, since all (legal) firearms owners are federally licenced. By their standards then, Canadian firearms buy/sell pages would be A-OK, wouldn't they?

Children: (panicking, trying to escape) WWWWAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
"(to self); WTF? This works on all the grownups I know…"
poor goldilocks got the worst of it , even baby bear got in on it. Thats terrible,just terrible
Actually, it is how we do things in Canada. Sure, not for a restricted firearm like the AR-15 (which is why he mentioned it instead of an SKS or a Vz-58 or a Tavor), but for non-restricted there really aren't all that many rules. Does the buyer have a valid PAL? If yes, go ahead and sell- pack that gun up and ship it Canada Post right to the buyer's door.
I hate Canadian beet farmers.
The article was corrected. This guy is not and never was a beet farmer. He is a professional hacker.
What club does he work at?dup-dup-dupdupdup-dup-dup–dup–
In other news today…
Fireclean sues because someone called out their product as Crisco.
Mississippi church-goers have a license to kill? Like James Bond???
I dont do facebook, , thats a funny name, Zuckerburg, z-zzzzzzuckerburg
still rhymes with bigot tho.
Unless he ditched his armed security detail and I missed it.
"Supporters of reasonable gun regulation will have to engage American culture in new and innovative ways to make progress and save lives."
That's the same crap they say about every six months…all the while they recycle their same old tired, illogical, factually inaccurate feces on a tired public time and time again.
When I was in high school we were shut down when a squirrel went full kamakazi and tried to eat its way through a generator. Killed all of the power to the middle and high school and got us the rest of the day off. I can just imagine it squeaking Toro Toro Toro before taking that fateful bite.
Must have been a lawn mower dealer . . .
If he was a Kamikaze squirrel, he'd have squeaked "Banzai!!!"
If the furry little bastard squeaked "Tora Tora Tora!", he was confused about his location and thought he was attacking Pearl Harbor. 😉
Squirells, you are what you eat.
The New York rag is not alone in its feeble attempts to lie about the new MS Church Protection Act. Earlier today I was perusing Google to read the full text of the MS Church Protection Act as my pastor had asked me a question about it. There was an article about the bill (HuffPo) that said that it authorized churches to train members to carry guns, which was a crock. Churches aren't training anyone: they're asking volunteers who already possess concealed carry permits with an instructor endorsement (a.k.a. an enhanced concealed carry permit, required for legal church carry in the first place). Then there was another kook news site (Raw Story) talking about making "unaccountable soldiers" "who can legally kill people like cops do". That's real nice, there. And they think people should consider them news sources when they don't know jack about the pertaining laws or even the wording of the one they condemn, setting aside the blatant disdain with which they do it? It's enough to validate the concept that hoplophobia is indeed a stupefying mental disorder.
Self respecting gun owners and people who value their privacy should not use Facebook. It was/is a DARPA backed program used for tracking and profiling. Mark Zuckerberg is a tool. Do yourself a favor and delete your account. You can make it through the withdrawals from posting your food porn and boring status updates about how awesome or unhappy you are. Trust me.
Yeh facebook, like they aint getting enuff info already. New news here, cops are using drones to help evaluate, car wrecks, floods and help assist in fugitve capture, Cool, beats clay pigions all to hell, accept the cop said they can fly up to 600ft. Someone should invent a radio frequency dissruptor, theyd make a fortune.
Was that English?
Twas, bruh.
"are all part of the NRA's outreach to bolster a declining gun-owning population."
And here i thought the ranks had been increasing.
The surveys have the last word don't ya know.
Facebook is terrible to start with, the most arrogant company on the net. They block our holster ads all the time, with the reason that it promotes the sale of firearms. They don't even pay attention to what they're disapproving, as long as it has anything to do with firearms they'll black list it.
The Canadians can f*ck up bacon…
Enough said.
About the FaceBook bulls**t, how about we all post pics of us holding various lengths of pipe, and flood the system with false positives…?
R-Kansas pest control…..at least it wasn't Alabama. Love the AR skinny jeans combo. prob undercover trying to look like the hip kids. Mmmmmmm doughnuts!
I seem to be missing something here, what level of special stupid does one have to reach to be unable to recognize a picture of a firearm without an image recognition application ?

[520] remainder of Company G, under Lieutenant Morrow, was held as a support to our two pieces. Captain Montgomery soon informed me that the enemy were throwing a large force through a wooded ravine on our Tight, to surround us. He was immediately recalled and ordered to follow the head of their line along a fence running parallel to the road, and the other companies of the regiment, except those named above, were directed to follow. After prolonging our line in this new direction, and finding the enemy still going on and throwing at the same time sharpshooters between our infantry and artillery up the hollow that Captain Montgomery was first ordered to defend, while their artillery was pouring a hot fire upon us (they having got our range), and as we could see a strong infantry reserve in rear of their batteries, it was deemed advisable to retire. I was not able to recall Captain Johnston from the left, and was forced to leave the dead and badly wounded on the field, together with an old ambulance, a two-horse wagon and our knapsacks. The twelve-pound brass howitzer also had to be left, as one of the horses was killed and three others badly wounded. We know the names of seven killed and fifteen wounded, as we retreated across the field to the road, under the enemy's fire, and a few in the woods where the engagement first commenced. Exposed all the previous knight to a drenching rain, without tents, deprived of food, having marched over a horribly muddy road with unusually heavy knapsacks, and having fought bravely and willingly for three hours in anticipation of being reinforced, we were not in a condition to retreat. Many of my brave men fell from exhaustion on the road side, and I am sorry to inform you that many of them are still missing, but trust that in a few days the number will be greatly reduced as some are finding their way back to camp daily. We were pursued by infantry, artillery and a regiment of cavalry beyond Hanover Courthouse, where I received a dispatch from you stating that you had yourself engaged another portion of the enemy. Guns were placed on the railroad hill formerly occupied by the Twenty-eighth regiment as a camping ground, which prevented our retreating by the Ashland road, as we had anticipated, and forced us to take the right-hand road to Taylorsville, along which we were shelled a short distance. The cavalry pursued us beyond Colonel Wickham's farm, and were only prevented from making a charge by our throwing the regiment into a field and making it
