52 weeks of Gratitude .. Week 5 Says the title is "The city you live in"
I am not very sure with the topic here, because to me the current city I live in will never be as beautiful as to the CITY I am From, yes I have made my home in the city I live in currently but they do say home is where the heart is and my heart has always been in CHANDIGARH (the city beautiful), the moment I think of it I go on this nostalgic trip and why not almost all my youth was spent on the roads and by lanes of the beautiful city.
The first planned city to have been built-in india after independence, when i close my eyes all i can see are the beautiful roads covered with golden leaves especially as summer is coming. My heart jumps in excitement each time someone talks about this city, I have some beautiful memories. I did my schooling from a different city and in my 11th class I came back to Chandigarh, Took admission in Govt college for men and rest as they say is History. College .. The word itself is so nostalgic.. we have so many memories attached with it .. I sometimes think of the time and seem to get lost in the huge ocean of memories , makes we want to go back in time to those days, Its been ages since I have left college but the stuff we did , the memories, the history we made .. each time I remember one such episode it lightens me up.. I have that twinkle in the eye, that energy , rush of blood which goes missing otherwise in the normal day-to-day routine that we call LIFE.
I have now left college and the CITY in search of new adventures, new roads, new ambitions.. but I still remember those days.. the 5 year of my life that I spent in college. The friends I made , the way we became friends , the silly things we did , the attitude, The no-nonsense way , giving two hoots to life as if we were unbeatable.. nothing could touch us .. Not even KARNAIL SINGH the SHO of sector 11 police station.. 🙂
Chandigarh in those days was the "THE CITY" to be in, because of proper shopping centres , cafe's, cinema halls, People from everywhere in the country would come to see the city, The gardens it had, Every now and then some sort of concert would be organised in the open places. The first ever Rock concert I went in my life was in the Chandigarh, I remember it was an english Concert and a Group had come from Bangalore, That was the first time I had heard the song "Tarzan Boy" 🙂 .. I know I have taken many of the readers long time backwards, we danced to that song all night long. Being nearer to Punjab it was quite common to have one of the Punjabi singers every now and then performing in the city.
Rose festival was the much awaited festival that was held in Rose garden all the beautiful girls of the city would come and we boys as usual behind them trying to impress them little did we know than that , That was not a way to impress a girl.
The rock garden another attraction that would attract so many in those days I am not sure how it is doing now, but then it was a meeting point for everyone, Sukhna lake was one place that I have a lot of memories , I use to go running early morning every-day, Sadly now I hear due to silting the water is not that deep anymore.
My best friends , the people who would smilingly stand shoulder to shoulder with me were introduced to me in this city, Babbar, Cherry,Ravi,vikram,Sood All of us became such good friends, I am so full of gratitude to the City Chandigarh because it was a stepping stone for me to come to where I am, Maybe if I had not come to this city after my 10th class I would not be here where I am now, but then who knows..
The famous Gedi route the road between the College for men and Girls, so much time was spent on that particular stretch of road. The beautiful girls who also obviously wanted to look at the boys walking up and down, and us on our vehicles trying to impress some, sadly the only things that happened was the wasting of petrol.
I am sure I can go on and on with so many memories , Experiences I have had in MY CITY, I can definitely say that I am who i am because of the city Chandigarh too.
I have some photographs of the city that I would love to share with everyone ..

Color Options from American Patchwork & Quilting® October 2010
Plaid Tidings
Some things never go out of style, including a classic quilt made with timeless woven fabrics. Foundation piecing allows a purposefully placed plaid design to emerge without worrying about bias edges.
Plaid Tidings Color Option
Square-in-a-Square Table Topper
Instead of plaids, quilt tester Laura Boehnke chose nondirectional prints from the Oodles of Doodles and Rhapsodie Colorée II collections by Ricky Tims for Red Rooster Fabrics for her wall hanging version of Plaid Tidings. Mottled solids pick up colors found in the three multicolor prints used in the blocks, inner border, and outer border.
Nesting Instinct
Feather your nest with an heirloom-quality pillow graced with delicate needle-turn appliqué and hand-drawn details.
Nesting Instinct Color Option
Fusible Appliqué Bird Pillow
Use flannel scraps to create bird, nest, egg, and berry appliqué pieces.
Fuse the pieces to a pieced pillowtop to make a handmade nature scene.
Fresh Cuts
Sharpen your set-in piecing skills when making a bed-size quilt of Bride's Bouquet blocks. Then learn a clever shortcut that uses fusible web and your sewing machine to get the look of needle-turn appliqué in the border.
Fresh Cuts Color Option
Bridal Bouquet Wall Hanging
Instead of appliquéing swags on a border, quilt tester Laura Boehnke achieved a similar look by fussy-cutting setting triangles from a printed wreath panel from Rachel Pellman's Homecoming collection for P&B Textiles. Replacing the setting square with an extra Bride's Bouquet block allowed that block to be the center of attention in Laura's version.
Imagine That
If you can dream it, you can appliqué it as these funky flowers illustrate. They may not appear in nature, but they look right at home on a contemporary quilt that will brighten any space.
Imagine That Color Option
Funky Fusible Flowers Wall Hanging
Craft a wall hanging reminiscent of an oil painting with the April Showers Bring Sunflowers collection by Art of Possibility Studios for FreeSpirit. To create a funky frame around the appliqué, quilt tester Laura Boehnke combined prints and tone-on-tones for the inner border units. A multicolor outer border unifies the look.
Granny Squares
If you're hooked on the look of crochet, here's how to get it with fabric rather than yarn. Craft each scrappy block from strip-pieced squares in six contrasting prints.
Granny Squares Color Option
Scrappy Strip-Pieced Squares
Enhance the scrappy feel of Granny Squares with 1930s reproduction prints from Darlene Zimmerman's Paper Doll collection for Robert Kaufman Fabrics. Quilt tester Laura Boehnke focused attention on the quilt's windowpane center by sashing the blocks in white and using white for the outer ring of each block.
Argyle Alphabet
Rickrack latticework, printed letters, and pieced blocks team up to create a bold and bright nursery wall hanging that's both engaging and educational.
Argyle Alphabet Color Option
Halloween Rickrack Wall Hanging
Wide green rickrack and Halloween-theme fabrics from the Spooktacular collection by Debbie Taylor-Kerman from Henry Glass & Co. give Argyle Alphabet spooky flair. "This pattern is great for novelty fabrics," quilt tester Laura Boehnke says. "Save the more involved prints for the squares, and reserve simpler prints, such as polka dots, for the Square-in-a-Square blocks."
Passion Flowers
Appliqué and quilt at the same time using a quick fusible method. Let the whimsical blooms inspire your own garden of quilted designs.
Passion Flowers Color Option
Big Blooms Wall Hanging
Instead of layering three circle appliqués, quilt tester Laura Boehnke showcased a large fussy-cut flower in the center of each bloom. For extra pops of color, she used different fabrics for each flower's buds. Black machine-blanket-stitching around each appliqué coordinates with the black prints in the border, petals, and G circles. Fabrics are from the Jane Collection and Splash basics from Blank Quilting.
Land of Lincoln
To celebrate the birth of Abraham Lincoln, an Illinois designer surrounds a pieced cabin with furrowed fields of reproduction fabrics for a fat-quarter-friendly quilt.
Land of Lincoln Color Option
Holiday House-Block Throw
A rustic cabin gets a garden cottage makeover with flirty florals from the Fancy Hill Farm collection by Robyn Pandolph for RJR Fabrics. To achieve the look of a climbing rose in the border, quilt tester Laura Boehnke surrounded a contrasting middle border with inner and outer borders cut from a wavy floral vine print.
Apple Crisp
Brown sugar hues and a bounty of reds are sprinkled throughout a tantalizing throw featuring Snowball and Four-Patch blocks.
Apple Crisp Color Option
Fussy-Cut Panel Throw
By widening Apple Crisp's outer borders to 10-1/2", quilt tester Laura Boehnke made way for under-the-sea-themed panels from Julie Paschkis' Oceanica collection for In The Beginning. Similar blue prints in the Snowball and triple Four-Patch blocks create limited contrast in the quilt center, which places more attention on the border's detailed fabric.

Rockford garbage rates set to rise
ROCKFORD — Garbage fees will go up, it's just a question of by how much. Four trash collection options are in front of the City Council, which will soon approve a seven-year contract with one of two companies vying to be the city's next garbage hauler.
Davis Junction-based Advanced Disposal has underbid Rock River Environmental Services of Rockford, offering cheaper services in each of the four options on the table. RRES has been the city's vendor for more than a decade.
The city's deal with the company expires at the end of the year.
Rates will climb between $2.56 and $8.96 a month, depending on which service package aldermen ultimately pick.
They need to decide whether to keep the collection process the same as it is now, where residents supply their own trash cans, or if each home is given trash and/or recycling totes that can be mechanically picked up by garbage trucks.
Residents will not be limited by the amount of trash or yard waste they can put out on the curb. Bulk items, like couches and other furniture, will also continue to be collected every week.
"Unlimited collection is the way to go," Alderman Tim Durkee, R-1, said. "It's a convenience but it also keeps the city clean, so old TVs aren't just sitting out on the curb."
The cheapest option is to keep the service as it is, without the totes.
Residents pay $15.50 a month right now for sanitation.
Advanced Disposal would offer the same services for $10.6 million a year, with the rates per customer coming out to $18.06 a month. RRES's offer would cost residents an estimated $20.96 a month.
The most expensive option is for the vendor to provide 35-, 65- and 95-gallon totes for both recycling and garbage. The totes are large bins with wheels and lids that can be mechanically lifted, making them quicker and safer for collectors to haul.
Garbage bills with the totes would climb to $19.42 a month under Advanced Disposal's offer or to $24.46 a month with RRES's offer.
Under the final two options, residents would continue to supply their own trash cans but would get either totes or bins for recycling.
Advanced Disposal again had the cheaper offer for both options.
Early this year there was some doubt as to whether the city would bring the contract to bid.
Outgoing alderman Nancy Johnson asked the council to negotiate a 10-year contract renewal with RRES behind closed doors.
Johnson asked aldermen to negotiate, approve and sign the contract just days before she and five other aldermen were set to leave the City Council.
A week later, Johnson withdrew her resolution.

Podsednik, called up from rehab, says Sox lack energy
Scott Podsednik had been back with the White Sox for just hours Saturday before offering up what might be the most honest assessment of the team so far this season.
"There's really no energy, no intensity right now," Podsednik said. "We have to somehow find a way to change the attitude, create some energy. We have to get something going. We need a change. We need to get the offense going. I don't know how we're going to do that. Do you have any ideas?
"You can feel the lack of energy, so we have to somehow find that. We have to dig deep within, find that competitive fire and get after it. It's the bottom line. We're going to have to get something going."
That's why the Sox called on Podsednik during the "third or fourth" inning of his rehab game in Charlotte on Friday.
The Sox knew Darin Erstad (sprained left ankle) or Jermaine Dye (strained right quad) was heading to the disabled list and decided it was time to bring Podsednik back.
The left fielder, who had been on the DL with a strained right adductor, said no aspect of his game will be limited - hitting, fielding, throwing - and he proved it in the first inning Saturday.
After receiving a warm ovation upon stepping to the plate, Podsednik led off with a sharp single up the middle, stole second, went to third on a grounder and scored on Jim Thome's grounder to short.
"I've always said it starts at the top," said Podsednik, who finished 1-for-4 in his first game since April 16. "When you have myself and (Tadahito) Iguchi or Erstad, whoever that may be at the top, it just sets up for the big guys behind us. That's our job. We have to somehow get things going at the top of the lineup and hope it goes down throughout the rest."
Driving down I-55
Mark Buehrle was forced to leave the park early Friday because as soon as he was pulled after making the start, the left-hander began getting sick.
"During the game, I felt fine," Buehrle said. "After I came out of the game, I ate something, and it didn't feel good in my stomach."
Continuing his stretch of miserable luck - he got the loss despite allowing two runs in seven innings - Buehrle's truck broke down on the way to the park Saturday.
"Same pump, same everything," Buehrle said. "I think they switched (the gas) up on me. It started bogging down, and black smoke was shooting everywhere. So if you go on I-55, you'll see my truck out there."
As for an item published Saturday that quoted a source saying Buehrle's camp is in discussions with the Sox about a contract, the left-hander said he had talked to his agent and that wasn't true.
Can't spell Cora
without the 'O'
There are rumors the Baltimore Orioles are considering Sox bench coach Joey Cora for their vacant managerial position, but they have yet to ask the Sox for permission to talk to him.
"I think Joey's doing a tremendous job here for me," Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "He's prepared himself really well to do it. I think it's a great opportunity for him."
Around the basepaths
The Sox struck out 23 times in the first two games of the series. ... Saturday's game began 26 minutes late because of a rain delay. ... Starter Javier Vazquez tied his season-high with eight strikeouts.

Apple Cider Donuts and the Halloween Donut Game
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Among my favorite memories of childhood are the block parties we had to celebrate Halloween. They were festive affairs that began with a parade and ended with a bonfire of fiercesome proportions, at least to those of us who had not yet reached the four foot mark. Tucked between the parade and bonfire were the games and challenges that we've all come to associate with Halloween. My favorite was the donut game. October weather in Chicago was iffy and getting drenched while bobbing for apples was not my cup of tea. I could handle wet, but wet and cold was beyond the pale. Besides, I liked donuts way more than apples and in short order became a champion at the donut game. Now, for those who have never played, the object of the game is simple. You try to eat donuts that are hung from a bar by strings of varying length. The only trick is that you can't use your hands to assist in the task. Hands must at all times be clasp behind the back and any infraction disqualifies you from the game. Back then we knew nothing about political correctness and things were called as they were seen. If you used your hands you were a cheater and were thusly labeled. Onerous, but then they were harsh times. While it is easy to see the connection between apples and the season, I've never really understood how donuts came to be included in festivities. I recently found an explanation that makes some sense of it. Fall was the traditional season for hogs to be put down. That meant cooks had plenty of rendered fat in which the donuts could be fried. I, for the life of me, can't find an explanation for the use of cider in donuts. Someone, somewhere, obviously thought it was a good idea and they were right. Cider donuts have a dense yet tender crumb that we've come to associate with cake donuts that are made with baking powder rather than yeast. The hint of spice and tang of buttermilk make them perfect for this time of year and for Halloween games. The donuts can be glazed if you like, but I prefer mine with a just a sprinkling of sugar. I know you'll like these. Here's the recipe.
Apple Cider Doughnuts...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Lauren Dawson
1 cup apple cider
3-1/2 cups flour, plus additional for the work surface
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk (low-fat or nonfat work fine)
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider
1) To make donuts: Place apple cider in a saucepan over medium heat and slowly reduce quantity to about 1/4 cup, about 20 to 30 minutes. Cool.
2) Meanwhile, combine flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a bowl. Set aside.
3) Beat butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer at medium speed until mixture is smooth. Add eggs, one at a time beating just until incorporated.Reduce speed to low and gradually add cider reduction and buttermilk, mixing just until combined. Add flour and mix just until dough comes together.
4) Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or wax paper and sprinkle them generously with flour. Turn dough onto 1 sheet and sprinkle the top with flour. Flatten dough with your hands until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Use more flour if dough is still wet. Transfer dough to the freezer until it is slightly hardened, about 20 minutes. Remove from freezer. Using a 3-inch doughnut cutter, cut out doughnut shapes. Place cut doughnuts and doughnut holes onto second sheet pan. Refrigerate doughnuts for 20 to 30 minutes.
5) Add enough oil to a deep-sided pan to measure a depth of about 3 inches. Attach a candy thermometer to side of pan and heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees.
6) To make glaze: While cut donuts are chilling, make glaze by whisking confectioners' sugar and cider together until mixture is smooth. Set aside.
7) To fry and assemble: Add a few doughnuts to oil, being careful not to crowd pan, and fry until golden brown, about 60 seconds. Turn doughnuts over and fry until other side is golden, 30 to 60 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Dip top of still warm doughnuts into glaze or granulated sugar and serve immediately.Yield: 18 donuts.

I love a real, homemade donut - nothing smells better on a cold fall day. I don't make them often - not even once a year - but when I do they get eaten as fast as I can get them out of the pan.

I don't think I've ever heard of the doughnut game! I tend to associate doughnuts more with Channukah than Halloween though.

Secretary of State Scott Gessler "breached the public trust for private gain" when he used his office discretionary fund to pay for a trip to a Republican lawyers conference in Florida, the state ethics commission ruled Thursday.
He also violated state ethics law when he kept $117.99 left in the fund last year, rather than submit receipts that he said accounted for hundreds of dollars more for unreimbursed mileage for state business.
The commission penalized Gessler twice the amount in dispute, about $1,400, minus about $1,278 he chose to repay last month (to avoid any appearance of wrongdoing, his lawyer, David Lane, said). The precise amount will be published in the final order Tuesday.
Gessler issued a written statement after Thursday's ruling accusing the five-member bipartisan commission of being out to get him.
"As we said from the start, I've had grave concerns about this tribunal's ability to be fair and objective," he stated. "Every attempt we made to expose the truth and the facts in the case were met with resistance or rejected outright. Instead of impartial, engaged commissioners, I faced a group of my political adversaries. In fact, two commissioners have donated to my political opponents, and they both unsurprisingly ruled against me."
Records show the two Democrats on the commission, Dan Grossman and Rosemary Marshall, had made either $50 or $100 campaign contributions to former Secretary of State Bernie Buescher, whom Gessler beat in 2010, and Gov. John Hickenlooper. Gessler is considering a run for governor.
Grossman donated $500 to Ken Gordon's 2006 run for secretary of state. Gordon plans to run for the office again next year.
Gessler's inability to clearly remember what occurred at the law conference, however, made commission chairman Matt Smith, a Republican appointee, and Estes Park Mayor Bill Pinkham, an unaffiliated member, question the benefit to taxpayers. Gessler received continuing legal education credits, a requirement to keep his law license valid, from the event.
"It seemed pretty vague, his recollection of the specifics that came out of it," Pinkham said.
Marshall said there is no requirement that the secretary of state be a lawyer.
Smith said he was bothered by Gessler's testimony that he used the discretionary fund rather than his travel fund to avoid scrutiny.
"I looked at the secretary's testimony, 'Hey, I knew this was going to be questioned,' and kind of raised my eyebrows." Smith said.
Sally Hopper, a Republican appointee, made an unsuccessful motion to withhold any punishment, after the panel found Gessler had breached ethics twice.
"It seems to me this has become a mountain out of a molehill," she said.
The flap over about $1,800 cost Colorado taxpayers at least $143,000 for the investigation and legal fees by the ethics commission and Gessler's office.
Gessler and supporters had called out Colorado Ethics Watch as a liberal organization out to take down a Republican. Ethics Watch executive director Luis Toro said he was pleased Thursday's decision was made in a bipartisan vote.
"We are an organization dedicated to the public interest," he said, "And we feel the public interest has been served by this decision."

Fire Insurance Claims Form - Seek The Assistance Of A Fire Restoration Company
Fire Insurance Claims Form - Seek The Assistance Of A Fire Restoration Company
Dealing with the loss of a fire can be a pretty daunting tax that will be made much worse with the insurance company playing hardball. They will require extensive paperwork in the form of insurance claims form, fire insurance evidence and so on to support the claim.
Dealing with an insurance company on your own will be nothing but a nightmare and it is highly recommended that you carry out your restoration with the help of a professional fire and water restoration company. Apart from restoring your house in a professional manner, the fire and water restoration company will often appoint a person whose sole responsibility will be to assist you with your emergency insurance claims.
To understand how a fire insurance claim works, we will try to start from the beginning. When you file a claim, the insurance company will assign an adjuster to your case. He or she will visit your house on a certain date and assess the damage to your house. You must understand that the adjustor sent by the insurance company will often have very little knowledge about the construction of a house. He will go by his or her understanding of fire insurance and give you an estimate that will often be much lower than the estimate given to you by contractors.
It is very important that you get your fire restoration company involved in the process where the adjustor from the insurance company goes about estimating the damages to your house. Some fire restoration companies will have long standing relationships with insurance adjustors which will greatly increase your chances of submitting an insurance claims form without seeing it denied.
A fire and restoration company will usually assign an insurance specialist to your case that will go about his job by helping you fill your insurance claims form in an efficient manner. They will provide you with photos and explanations that will strengthen your case when you present the estimated repairs on the property.
It is very crucial that you have the fire insurance claim specialist at your site when the adjustor from the insurance company arrives to inspect your site as the insurance specialist from the fire restoration company will be able to give solid reasoning for the various claims that you have made in your emergency insurance claims.
For example, an insurance adjustor from the insurance company will look at your brick walls that are not damaged and not award any expenses to it. However, the insurance specialist from the fire restoration company will be able to point out that the plywood behind the brick wall is damp and at risk of developing mold. He will be able to prove to the insurance adjustor that it is necessary for the brick wall to be broken down even though it might look all right in terms of appearance.
Some fire and water restoration companies will also boldly offer a 100% money back guarantee where they will guarantee you that your insurance claim will be fulfilled in the manner you have submitted. It is best that you work with these types of companies as you do not want to be paying out of your pocket.

Li gets last laugh with victory
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Seven months after giving retirement serious thought, Li Na made her third time lucky in an Australian Open final with a 7-6 (3), 6-0 win over Dominika Cibulkova to become the oldest women's champion here in the Open era.
Li, who turns 32 next month, lost finals to Kim Clijsters in 2011 and to Victoria Azarenka last year. In between, she won the 2011 French Open in one of the many firsts she's established for Chinese tennis.
Widely popular at Melbourne Park for her funny postmatch interviews and wise cracks about her husband and his snoring, Li didn't disappoint the Rod Laver Crowd in her first victory speech.
She first thanked her agent, Max, "for making me rich," her coach, Carlos Rodriguez, and then her husband, former coach and constant traveling companion, Shan Jiang.
She told him he was "even famous in China."
"So thanks for him give up everything just traveling with me to be my hitting partner, fix the drinks, fix the racket. So thanks a lot, you are a nice guy," she said, pausing for the laughter. "Also you are so lucky, find me."
In both her previous finals at Melbourne Park, Li won the first set but went down in three. Against Azarenka last year, she stumbled and twisted her ankle and needed a medical timeout in the third set after hitting her head on the court.
She had no such trouble against No. 20-seeded Cibulkova yesterday, racing through the second set in 27 minutes after taking the first in a tiebreaker.
Li's supporters were everywhere in the crowd, some with Chinese flags painted on their faces, others holding Chinese flags or giant signs painted with Chinese characters.
Her fans got her through the nervous first set, chanting, "Li Na, Let's Go," in Mandarin during every changeover.
Li opened the final by breaking Cibulkova, holding then getting a break-point chance in the third game. But Cibulkova held then broke back in the sixth game thanks to Li's consecutive double-faults. Li broke in the 11th game and was serving for the set in the 12th but lost three straight points to ensure it went to the tiebreaker.
As Li began her roll in the second set, someone yelled — before Cibulkova served — "C'mon, Li Na, bagel her!" She did.
A half hour later she was holding up both thumbs to the crowd and holding back tears as she hugged her Slovakian rival at the net. She went immediately to the side of the court to shake hands with Rodriguez.
The diminutive Cibulkova, one of the shortest players ever to reach a Grand Slam final at 5-foot-3, had four wins over top-20 players on her way to the final, including a fourth-round upset of third-seeded Maria Sharapova and a straight-sets semifinal trouncing of No. 5 Agnieszka Radwanska.
She had to pull the microphone down closer to her before her postmatch speech.
"These were just fantastic two weeks of my life," she said, pausing to laugh then cry. "This means a lot for our country, and I'm happy I can be the one here for Slovakia."
No. 4-ranked Li, who reportedly has four times more followers on her Chinese social networking site than there are people in Slovakia, had a good run through the tournament as other star players like Serena Williams, Sharapova and Azarenka tumbled out by the quarterfinals.
She opened with wins over the two youngest players in the tournament then saved a match point in her third-round win over Lucie Safarova. In the semifinals, she held off 19-year-old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard and never had to face a player ranked in the top 20 en route to the final.
Li said it didn't matter how she got there, only that she'd finally broken through to win the title at her favorite major.
Rodriguez had to talk Li into playing Wimbledon after she told him she wanted to retire in the wake of the criticism that followed her early exit at the last French Open. He encouraged her to just play and see how she went at the All England club before making such a big career decision. She responded by reaching the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, the semifinals at the U.S. Open and now breaking her drought in Australia.
Yesterday, she paid tribute to his support.
"Before the match, he was telling me to relax, just think it's a match, don't think it's a final," she recounted, admitting that she'd even taken time out for a short afternoon nap to help with nerves. "When he was coaching me, he always say, 'Believe in yourself.' He always believed in me, I never believed in myself. That was my problem."
Now she's already promising to come back and defend her Australian title.
"Finally I got her," Li said as she put a hand on the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup for the first time. "Last two times was very close."

Call it the pot patchwork.
When first-of-their-kind stores selling recreational marijuana are allowed to open in January, they look increasingly likely to be confined to only a handful of communities in the state. Dozens of Colorado cities and counties have in recent weeks voted to ban the stores — and their sibling cultivation and marijuana-infused products businesses.
That leaves only about 20 cities and counties likely to start accepting applications for recreational marijuana stores later this year and to allow the stores to open as early as Jan. 1, according to advocates. Of the 10 largest cities in Colorado, only Denver looks likely to initially allow pot shops.
Elected officials in at least 56 Colorado cities and counties have so far voted to ban the businesses. A number of those are small towns in rural areas — Del Norte, for instance, or Log Lane Village. But the list also includes some of the largest cities in the state. Thornton, Westminster, Centennial and Greeley have all barred the stores.
Colorado Springs, the second-largest city in the state, joined the group this week, when its City Council voted 5-4 to keep recreational pot shops out of the city. Council members opposed to the stores said they worried the shops would hurt existing businesses and cause the military to pull troops from Fort Carson.
"For us to move forward with this is not a responsible move from an economic development point of view," Councilman Merv Bennett said at a meeting this week.
In addition to the bans, officials in at least 24 cities and counties have imposed moratoriums on recreational marijuana stores that mean the shops won't be able to open by the first of the year, the earliest that recreational marijuana stores can open anywhere in the state. Advocates are optimistic that cities with moratoriums, including Aurora, Lakewood and Arvada, will eventually allow the stores.
"I think the four corners of the state will be fairly well covered, with the possible exception of the Eastern Plains," said Brian Vicente, one of the authors of Amendment 64, the measure that legalized recreational marijuana and allowed for it to be sold in specially licensed stores.
The expected patchwork is not particularly a surprise. Amendment 64 explicitly gave local governments the ability to ban retail stores.
"The difficult part of this is determining in each local community what is appropriate," said Kevin Bommer, the deputy director of the Colorado Municipal League. "It will be different in each community."
In that way, it is similar to the state's law on medical-marijuana dispensaries and the resultant clustering of dispensaries mostly in a handful of cities. As Vicente notes, most of the places that banned medical-marijuana dispensaries have also banned recreational marijuana shops. (Vicente calls Colorado Springs, which allows medical-marijuana dispensaries and has more than any city except Denver, "an anomaly.")
The list of cities expected to allow recreational marijuana stores features a number of resort communities, including Breckenridge, Telluride and Steamboat Springs. But the bans mostly mean the recreational marijuana industry, like the medical-marijuana industry, looks to be especially Denver-centric.
That has given Denver Mayor Michael Hancock some concern, said Rowena Alegria, a spokeswoman for Hancock.
"With so many cities opting out, we have an even greater responsibility to ensure enforcement, regulation and education around those new laws," Alegria said.
Other officials see the bans as an opportunity.
Officials in Pueblo County are enthusiastically working to forge rules for recreational-marijuana businesses, said county Commissioner Sal Pace. He said politicians have a duty to follow the will of the voters, and Pueblo voters supported marijuana legalization.
But Pace also said the county sees pot shops as a source of economic development and tax revenue — even more so as surrounding areas ban the shops.
"Every time one of our neighbors bans it," Pace said, "we cheer."

Whipworm Infections in Dogs
What are whipworms?
Whipworms are intestinal parasites that are about 1/4 inch (6 mm) long. They live in the cecum and colon (large intestine) of dogs where they cause severe irritation to the lining of those organs. Whipworm infection results in watery, bloody diarrhea, weight loss, and general debilitation. They are one of the most pathogenic worms found in dogs.
How do dogs get whipworms?
Whipworms pass microscopic eggs in the stool. The eggs are very resistant to drying and heat, so they can remain viable (alive) in the environment for up to 5 years. Once laid, they embryonate (mature to an infective stage) in the environment and are able to re-infect the dog in 10-60 days. The embryonated eggs are swallowed and hatch and mature to adults in the lower intestinal tract, completing their life cycle (see illustration).
How are whipworms diagnosed?
"Parasites pass small numbers of eggs on an irregular basis, so some samples may be falsely negative."
Whipworms are diagnosed by finding eggs with a microscopic examination of the stool. However, multiple stool samples are often required because these parasites pass small numbers of eggs on an irregular basis, so some samples may be falsely negative. In addition, it takes approximately 11-12 weeks after hatching for a female adult to begin to lay eggs. Any dog with chronic large bowel diarrhea should be suspected to have whipworms, even if the stool sample was negative. Thus, it is an accepted practice to treat chronic diarrhea by administering a whipworm dewormer. Response to treatment is an indication that whipworms were present but could not be detected on fecal examination.
How are whipworms treated?
There are several drugs that are very effective against whipworms. At least two treatments are needed, spaced at a three to four week interval. The most frustrating aspect of whipworm infections is the high rate of re-infection because the eggs are extremely hardy in the environment. Therefore, if a dog is diagnosed with a whipworm infection, it is advisable to treat again every three to four months. The other option, which is much simpler, is to use a heartworm preventative that contains a whipworm medication. Whipworms are not nearly as common today because of widespread use of these modern heartworm prevention products.
Can I get whipworms from my dog?
No. Whipworms are not infectious to people. They are exclusive parasites of the dog.

'Routine' tonsillectomies not so routine
When Jahi McMath suffered severe complications following a tonsillectomy, and doctors declared her brain dead, many parents were shocked.
More than 500,000 tonsillectomies are performed each year on children in the United States; it's the second most common pediatric surgery. But how routine are these procedures really?
Not so much, a new study published Monday in the scientific journal Pediatrics suggests. Researchers found the quality of care before, during and after a tonsillectomy varies greatly depending on the hospital.
When routine surgeries go wrong
"We were surprised at the degree of variation between hospitals in the use of medications ... and revisits to hospitals after the surgery for complications," said lead study author Dr. Sanjay Mahant.
Researchers analyzed data from the Pediatric Health Information System, looking specifically at 139,155 low-risk children who underwent tonsillectomies between 2004 and 2010 at 36 children's hospitals across the United States.
Guidelines from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery recommend doctors administer dexamethasone on the day of a tonsillectomy. Dexamethasone is used to reduce nausea and pain after surgery. The guidelines do not recommend administering antibiotics because previous studies have shown that antibiotics do not help in preventing bleeding, pain or infection after a tonsillectomy.
In addition to looking at whether hospital staff followed these guidelines, Mahant and his team also calculated the number of patients who returned to the hospital in the 30 days after surgery for bleeding, vomiting/dehydration, pain, infection and/or respiratory problems.
The results
Close to 70% of patients received dexamethansone on the day of their surgery. Nearly a third received antibiotics.
A total of 10,868 children - about 7.8% - returned to the hospital after being discharged, most for bleeding and vomiting/dehydration. Those who came in with vomiting tended to return one to two days after being discharged. Those who returned with bleeding were most likely to come in six to seven days after.
Older children were more likely to suffer from bleeding problems while younger kids were more likely to experience nausea.
The researchers also looked at dexamethasone and antibiotic use over time, as well as the revisit rate during the study period. Dexamethasone use did not change between 2004 and 2010, but the use of antibiotics dropped significantly. The hospital revisit rate remained fairly stagnant.
Mahant and his team have held webinars with hospital administrators to educate them about the study results.
"There is definitely more work that needs to be done to understand how to reduce revisits to hospital for complications," Mahant told CNN. "One way to investigate this is by studying and learning from high-performing hospitals."
Keeping your kid safe
Parents and doctors should discuss the risks and benefits of any surgery, Mahant said.
For some children, a tonsillectomy is the necessary, or sensible option. However, he said, there are many unanswered questions regarding the the benefits of tonsillectomies for treating certain issues, such as sleep apnea.
"Parents should educate themselves about their child's condition and treatment options, and ask questions so they feel comfortable about their decisions," he said.

Wildcats pounce on LC early
Oak Ridge must have thought the basket was as big as the ocean on Saturday. On a night when the Oak Ridge student section were decked out in their beachwear, the Oak Ridge Wildcats on the court rode a wave of 3-pointers to a 30-10 first quarter lead and won going away 77-52 over Lenoir City.
"You don't have any control over how many you are going to make or how many you are going to miss," coach Aaron Green said. "If those are not falling, you still have to play the same way and keep getting good shots."
Oak Ridge (25-5) didn't have to worry about that. They opened the game going 5 of 5 beyond the arc. Sharpshooter Cory Fagan led the way with a pair from the corner.
Jaylin Henderson and Rashad Gray added to the fury, as well. By the time the two teams reached halftime, the Panthers looked to the scoreboard and saw they were down 51-22.
"The first quarter was the difference," coach Green said. "We took any momentum they had coming in right away off the bat.
"We shot it really well. We drove it, kicked it, played unselfish, got it inside, got it out in transition and we were really, really aggressive offensively."
The 'Cats finished with five players in double figures. Henderson, Gray and Isaac Merian reached double digits in the first half.
"That tells us one thing — we are sharing the ball," coach Green said.
Henderson led the way with 14. Rian Hall and Merian had 13 each and Fagan had 12 on four 3-pointers. Gray finished with 10 as Oak Ridge advanced past the first round of the Region 2-AAA Tournament for the third time in the last five years.
"You can't really get caught up in the consequences of winning and losing the game," Green said. "You have to focus on playing hard and playing aggressive. The rest will take care of itself."
Lenoir City (16-17) was led by Jordan Hall with 21 points. Hall had just 7 in the first half. Dylan Brewster had nine points on three 3-pointers.
Oak Ridge will host the two Region 2-AAA semifinals Tuesday as Powell (24-3) will square off against Maryville (26-6) at 6 p.m. Oak Ridge will face Bearden (27-5) at 7:30 p.m.
The winners will earn a Sectional berth and play on Thursday.
Coach Green said he expects a packed Wildcat Arena on Tuesday with Bearden fans coming up Pellissippi Parkway for the important game. He said he hopes to see plenty of Oak Ridge fans there, as well.
"Bearden has a good tradition of basketball," Green said. "They will be well-coached and well-prepared. There are four really good teams left in our Region. These next two days of preparation will be key."

Mad Men's Season 7 Premiere: Is It Too Late for Don Draper to Change?
[WARNING: The following story contains spoilers from the Season 7 premiere of Mad Men. Read at your own risk.]
"Are you ready? Because I want you to pay attention. This is the beginning of something."
Yes, Matthew Weiner, you have our attention. The Mad Men creator kicked off the first half of his advertising drama's final season speaking directly to the audience through the mouth of recurring character Freddie Rumsen (Joel Murray). But it was the next line of Freddie's Don Draper-quality pitch for Accutron watches that reveals what seems to truly be on Mad Men's mind for this episode - and perhaps the remainder of the series.
"Do you have time to improve your life?"
That's certainly a question we imagine Don Draper (Jon Hamm) has been asking himself lately. After being caught sleeping with another woman by his daughter, putting his marriage in limbo by reneging on a promise to move to California, and hitting rock bottom (again) with his drinking, Don seemed poised to turn over a new leaf at the end of Season 6. He threw out all his alcohol, he botched a pitch meeting with Hershey's because he couldn't bare lying about his poor upbringing any longer and, similarly, he tried to open up to his kids by showing them the whorehouse he grew up in, the place where so many of Don's problems started.
Spring TV: Get scoop on your favorite returning shows
But as Season 7 begins , how much Don has tried to change seems basically irrelevant because no one is around to notice. Megan (Jessica Paré) has moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career without Don. And even though the couple can convince Megan's agent they're happily in love when Don comes for a weekend visit, their time apart has created a certain level of awkwardness to their intimacy. (And it's worth noting that Don hasn't yet told Megan that he is on a forced leave of absence from Sterling Cooper & Partners. "I'm sorry, but I have to get back to work," he says when Megan finally warms up to his presence in her bed once again.)
In fact, it's been two months since his partners pushed Don out of the doors at SC&P, and although he's still collecting a paycheck, Don's using Freddie as a covert operative to get his ideas to Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) & Co. It's no coincidence that Don is teaming with Freddie, who himself was once such a sloppy drunk that he pissed his pants in the office. Freddie, who has cleaned up his life enough to get back in the game, can perhaps show Don a few things from his recovery playbook. His first try: reminding Don that the longer he stays on his leave of absence, the harder it will be to make a comeback. "You don't want to become damaged goods," Freddie says.
But Don's not completely sure that he isn't damaged goods. During his flight back to New York, Don meets an attractive woman (guest star Neve Campbell) who seems to be exactly Don's taste. In fact, she had a husband who was a lot like Don. "He was thirsty, and he died of thirst," she tells Don of her now-dead alcoholic husband, whose ashes she spread on Tom Sawyer Island at Disneyland less than a year after he tried to get help with his problem. The story resonates with Don, who knows he needs to do better. And to his credit, he's making the effort. (In addition to drinking less, he turns down his seatmate's offer to "make [Don] feel better" about his struggling marriage.) He knows he's ruined another marriage that he genuinely hoped would be different, and he knows that his wife knows he's a terrible husband. "I keep wondering, have I broken the vessel?" Don wonders aloud.
Mad Men: Where we left off and what's ahead in the final season
But as Don/Freddie wondered in the Accutron pitch, the more important question is whether Don has enough time to put those broken pieces back together. Sure, we recognize that time is running out for the series to answer the question, but for Don it's a question of mortality. As he sits alone on that freezing cold balcony in the premiere's haunting final shot (props to the music department for the use of Vanilla Fudge's "Keep Me Hangin' On"), Don seems frail and afraid. Maybe he's changing, but is he doing so too late?
On the other hand, Peggy hasn't changed at all, even though the people around her have. Still reeling from her rejection from Ted Chaough (Kevin Rahm) last season, Peggy is also dealing with her place at SC&P. Any hope that she might be sitting in Don's chair full-time during his absence is quickly dashed by the appearance of Lou Avery, an old school (and decidedly square) ad man. He's not Don, but for Peggy, that's not necessarily a good thing.
Sure, he still embarrasses her in meetings ("I think you're putting me in a position of saying, 'I don't care what you think,'" Lou says when rejecting Peggy's "improvement" on Freddie's Accutron pitch), but he's also too easily satisfied with ideas that are just OK. "Open the door and walk in," he says. "You don't have to parachute in through the ceiling." That attitude has apparently spread to the rest of the staff, and Peggy's furious about it. "I'm tired of fighting for everything to be better," Peggy yells at Stan. "You're all a bunch of hacks who are perfectly happy with sh--. Nobody cares about anything. No one wants things to be better? ... I'll just stand out here all by myself."

Of course, that's always been Peggy's fatal flaw. Her commitment to her work has always hampered her personal life. And when she collapses on the floor in her empty apartment, she's not that far removed from Don on his balcony. The only hope might be that Peggy still has more time to course-correct.
Some other thoughts:
• In addition to the great song over the credits, this episode made great use of Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man" as Don arrived in L.A. to be greeted by his gorgeous actor wife. (But perhaps the extended slow-mo was bit much?)
• So Ted and Pete (Vincent Kartheiser) are both working out of the new SC&P L.A. office. While Ted seems to miss New York, Pete is thriving: He has landed a new account, has a Betty Draper lookalike real estate agent on his arm and found a pastrami sandwich he loves. Too bad the bagesls suck!
• Roger's search for enlightenment has pushed his hedonism toward free love. "You know anyone is welcome in this bed," says his new lover (girlfriend?) at one point. Although Roger's daughter doesn't approve her dad's lifestyle ("I don't even care that you smell like incense," she says), she's found answers - and a willingness to forgive - through some spiritual searching of her own. We guess willingness to change doesn't fix every problem. Roger has been willing to accept whatever comes down the pike from the start, but he's no happier for it.
• Pete Campbell, please never change. The only thing better than his ridiculous California fashion sense is the awkward hug he gives Don.
• Bob Benson is still in Detroit! Although he calls Ken, we don't get to see him delivering anyone coffee. (Here's hoping James Wolk gets free from The Crazy Ones enough to make an appearance or two.)
• Speaking of Ken, we hope the eye patch stays. If for no other reason than to watch him hilariously have trouble throwing things to/at people.
• Joan's taking on more responsibility, but with mixed results. Will see if she can turn the Butler Footwear deal around. (Note: She's still working on Avon, the client she pursued last year without proper "permission.")
• Don's watching Richard Nixon's inauguration. Sterling Cooper worked on his failed 1960 campaign in Season 1. The American voting public has certainly changed in the last decade, even if Don hasn't.
• Finally, what is it with Mad Men and planes? Not only did Pete's dad die in a plane crash early in the show's run, but thanks to this season's bi-coastal setup, all of the season's promotional materials were airplane- and airport-based. Even more intriguing? The film Don was watching on Megan's new TV (which opened with a thematically pertinent rumination on life, death and the Fountain of Youth) is Frank Capra's Lost Horizon, which tells the story of a group of people who are transported to Shangri-La after their hijacked plane crashes. Let the conspiracy theories begin!
Mad Men airs Sundays at 10/9c on AMC. What did you think of the premiere?

Jim Brock: Hard rain's still fallin' – time to move forward
Last week's botched execution of convicted killer Joseph Wood was enough to make anyone sick to their stomach. Unless, of course, you believe justice and revenge are one in the same.
According to a July 24 CNN report, witness accounts said "Wood gasped and struggled to breathe during his nearly two-hour execution," while reporter Troy Hayden described his last breaths like "a fish on shore gulping for air."
But a relative of the victims had a different opinion.
"I don't believe he was gasping for air; I don't believe he was suffering. It sounded to me like [he] was snoring," relative Jeanne Brown said in the report. "You don't know what excruciating is. What's excruciating is seeing your dad laying there in a pool of blood, seeing your sister laying there in a pool of blood. This man deserved it. And I shouldn't really call him a man," she said.
While Wood's attorneys tried to stop the execution more than halfway through, Wood finally expired before the execution could finally be stopped.
Attorney Dale Baich later said, "We will renew our efforts to get information about the manufacturer of drugs as well as how Arizona came up with the experimental formula of drugs it used today."
Even Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, has ordered the Department of Corrections to review the execution.
This has always been a difficult topic, and I can't say I blame the woman for feeling hate and anger toward the man who killed her loved ones.
But as the old saying goes, "An eye for an eye leaves the world blind."
As we continue to carry our message of freedom and democracy to small nations around the world, we seem to forget that our own house is in a deplorable state.
According to statistics from Amnesty International, at least 680 executions were carried out worldwide in 2012. Of that number, 314 were in Iran; 129 were in Iraq; 79 were in Saudi Arabia; and 43 were in the U.S.
It's ironic that we share a category with at least two nations we feel compelled to civilize.
What's worse, the Hobby Lobby ruling passed down from the Supreme Court has been called a "huge win" for the so-called pro-life group.
Pro-life is the biggest misnomer in modern history. A better handle would be "pro-birth."
You cannot proclaim to be pro-life and support the death penalty.
"For we know Him who said, 'VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.' And again, 'THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.'" – Hebrews 10:30 NAS
We don't get to kill people – that job is reserved for the Creator of the Universe.
My understanding of biblical text notwithstanding, we must remember that the Constitution of the United States is not a religious document and that our nation is not a theocracy.
The Eighth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the federal government and the states from imposing cruel and unusual punishment, along with excessive bail and fines.
The First Amendment protects the people from the rigid principles of religious institutions, and it protects religious institutions from the regulations of the government.
Government and religion must be mutually exclusive. Our Founding Fathers knew this to be true.
And for those of us who call ourselves followers or simply admirers of Christ, we should take a long hard look at ourselves when we find acts of violence justifiable and even gratifying.
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." – Matthew 5:44 KJV
There is no such thing as a black-and-white world. Reality exists in an endless array of color. Often times, there are more than two sides to every story, and morality cannot exist in a vacuum.
The reason to abolish the death penalty is not so much for the benefit of the criminals as it is for our benefit as a nation – as a people.
If you think the fear of the death penalty stopped the numerous mass shootings over the past few years, think again!
We have to move forward.
We are a nation stained by a history of slavery, the Trail of Tears, Jim Crow Laws, and Japanese internment among other things. It is difficult to proclaim morality in this world when we our closets are full of skeletons.
We should never apologize for integrity, and putting someone in prison for life without parole – in solitary confinement if necessary – instead of executing them shows that we are no longer savages.
The only thing that separates the best of us from the worst of us is our circumstances. Killing has been a part of human behavior since the first of us roamed the earth, but for the first time, we have the power to do something different.
Bob Dylan once wrote,
"Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?
And what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall."
Ponder that!

NJ students sickened by Bob Marley drink at school
HOLMDEL TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Officials have removed a drink named after reggae icon Bob Marley after several New Jersey students were sickened.
Marley's Mellow Mood contains valerian root and chamomile and is promoted to reduce stress.
The drink's nutrition facts say it may cause drowsiness and isn't intended for children.
However, students at Satz Middle School and Holmdel High School could buy it on campus. Several middle school students were sickened Friday.
The Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/11OWGro ) reports the school's food service provider has removed a manager pending an investigation. Chartwells School Dining Services also removed the Marley product from other schools.
The company said it is taking the situation seriously.
Students who consumed the drink complained of lethargy, headaches, nausea and elevated heart rates. Officials are trying to determine how many students were sickened.

So many people have been asking what happened to all the household pets in areas hit by Superstorm Sandy. We decided to go find out. We met up with a pet rescue volunteer group based in the New York area called Guardians of Rescue. They have been working to find, feed and save dogs and cats since the day after the storm.
They go door to door in washed-out neighborhoods to drop off food, pet beds, cages, blankets, even doggie sweaters. You name it! But a job this big takes lots of volunteers; Robert Misseri, who heads Guardians of Rescue, called on a friend from Detroit to help.
That friend is the hip-hop artist, Hush. Hush is a rapper, but he's also a huge animal lover. His group, Detroit Dog Rescue, has been saving starving dogs from the streets of Detroit for years. Hush believes as many as 50,000 dogs may be living on the city's streets since so many people have fled the crumbling economy there.
Hush jumped at the chance to help pets impacted by Sandy. He collected nearly 8,000 pounds of dog and cat food from his Detroit contacts and drove 12 hours through the night to meet up with Robert and his group. We caught up with them in Staten Island this week.
Already, Robert's group has rescued 100 cats. Many of them were terrified and had water in their lungs. And it's not just dogs and cats they're saving. Robert told me "We just got a phone call someone had a rabbit that was loose and we're going to set a trap for that. So a lot of these animals did get out of the house, but now they're technically homeless."
The traps they set are humane traps that don't harm the animal. The pets they find are taken to a foster-home until their owners are located. If they are never claimed, they are adopted out. These pets, Robert says, will never be sent to the pound or put down. I was relieved to hear that.
In a storm where so many have lost everything, it was heartening to see all these volunteers from two great organizations coming together to save those who can't save themselves. When talking about the lost pets, Hush told me, "They can't talk, they can't say 'Hey, my owner left me behind,' or 'Hey I'm stuck, I have nowhere to go, I need food.'"
Robert thinks people underestimated how much water their home would take on so they either waited it out with their pets or left them behind thinking they could just return home for them the next day. But we saw so many homes deemed unsafe and boarded up. The group wondered, is anyone checking those homes to see if there are pets inside? That's why it's so important these volunteers are out there, peering in windows and through crawl spaces, saving the lives of our four-legged friends.
Be sure to watch this story tonight, and if you want to help, you can donate to Guardians of Rescue and Detroit Dog Rescue.

Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. – and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, millions of healthy, loving cats, dogs, kittens and puppies face early deaths as a form of Animal Services. Others are left to fend for themselves against automobiles, the elements, animals and cruel humans. What can you do to stop the suffering? Spay and neuter your pets!
Unfortunately, the cost of spay/neuter is a barrier for many in our community. The following non-profit organizations provide various forms of assistance for spay/neuter. You must contact the provider directly to discuss your individual needs.
