The Philadelphia Fire Department is partnering with Kohl's Injury Prevention Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the local Safe Kids Coalition to host monthly educational training programs on how to properly install infant and child passenger safety seats.
The kick-off ribbon cutting ceremony at Engine 22, where the safety seat inspections occur, marked the beginning of this partnership. The trainings are held at Engine 22's fire station located at 3270 Comly Road, on the third Monday of every month from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The sessions will be by appointment only and conducted by Child Passenger Safety Certified Technicians.
These trainings aim to reduce the number of improperly installed child passenger safety seats. Approximately 80 percent of all car seats are not properly installed resulting in the number one leading cause of death for children ages 3 to 14. Through this partnership, the Kohl's Injury Prevention Program, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the Safe Kids Coalition and the Philadelphia Fire Department, will be able to reach a greater number of families within the city.
"With Kohl's support we are able to reach out to more families in the community to make sure our children are safe," said Marla Vanore, RN, MHA, and director of Trauma and Injury Prevention Programs at Children's Hospital. "Seat checks are important because studies have shown most parents are not sure how to install seats properly, and in fact, the majority are not safely secured."
"The success of this program is integral to the safety of infants and children in the city and it is a goal of the Philadelphia Fire Department to initiate safety seat checks in every battalion in the city," said Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers. "Improving the safety of every citizen in Philadelphia is a top priority of the Fire Department and this program is an important addition to our existing programs."
Kohl's Cares, the companies philanthropic initiative in the Philadelphia region, donates 100 percent of the net profits from the sale of its exclusive $5 books and plush toys toward supporting hospital partnerships like this one and have to date donated more than $5 million to Children's Hospital.
The Trauma Prevention Program at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia began in 1986. For more information, visit our website or call 215-590-5437.

Cabo Verde
Political relations
France and Cabo Verde enjoy close relations, both bilaterally and via the special partnership between the European Union and Cabo Verde. Regular political dialogue takes place between the two countries, which also have close links in the fields of development cooperation (through a Partnership Framework Document signed in October 2006) and the management of migration flows (via a bilateral agreement signed in November 2008). Cabo Verde opened an Embassy in Paris in 1996.
Use of the French language is also growing in a country that has shown itself receptive to French influence. At the same time, Cabo Verde has moved towards closer relations with the European Union, with which it signed a "special partnership" in 2007, concentrating mainly on security issues.

If you're one of those who try not to buy cheap tools, then buy one of these. It is very sturdy, has no flex, and the big handles are great. Took off a 180/55 and 120/60 without too much hassle (for a first timer).Read All Reviews

This is a great tire iron to use. Excellent feel, excellent leverage. But, I dropped it on the ground while changing a tire (on the ground, not on a bench or stand) and the plastic handle broke clean off. I cannot use it anymore. It's not like it broke the end off, literally the entire plastic handle broke off. Ah well.Read All Reviews

The Political Declaration from the UN Summit on NCDs states that resources for diabetes and NCDs are not 'commensurate with the magnitude of the problem'. However, no concrete financial commitments were made at the UN Summit and diabetes and NCDs remain grossly underfunded.
These four diseases receive less than 3% of the USD 22 billion Official Development Assistance (ODA) spent on health, yet they represent 60% of the global burden of disease. The agencies which determine development funding - including major bilateral donors, the OECD and the World Bank – hold a 'policy ban' on funding NCDs.
In 2012 IDF and the NCD Alliance launched a global campaign targeted at the bilateral and multilateral donors to alleviate the funding gap.

Ecover offers efficient and sustainable solutions for the hygienic needs of people today and future generations. It might sound idealistic. Heck, it definitely does, but they've been at this for over thirty years now, and still haven't lost sight of their guiding principles. Ecover thinks they keep the company young and focused: Respect, Integrity and Commitment.
Ecover knows these qualities aren't that unusual, or even exciting, for a person to strive towards. But, for a business to zero in on these traits, and keep them top of mind in all their choices, be they manufacturing, formulation, or beyond makes for a special sort of work-place. They're not keeping it internal though. Their vision extends outward, to contribute to creating economical, ecological and social change within society, for the future of everyone (you've got to dream big!).
Hats off to you for caring enough about the products you purchase to look this deeply into a company's practices. It takes a lot of energy and time to sit down and dive in. You are obviously invested in the safety and wellbeing of your family and home. Ever wonder whose holding everyone accountable as they shout from the rooftops how "green" their products are or how "sustainable" a company really is? Chances are, if you've navigated to this page, you've wondered. They take these claims very seriously, and know that talking about these things without being able to concretely back them up, weakens the impact overall.
Which is why Ecover, long ago, created the Diamond Model. It's a list of thirteen criteria Ecover products must reach in order to meet sustainability ethos – the heart and soul of their decision making process. This model is validated by objective third party Vincotte Environmental. They help Ecover stay on track and stay true to what they set out to do, which is making great cleaning products!
Essentially, this is a lifestyle model for each product Ecover makes, with thirteen measurable characteristics falling under three phases. To give you a better understanding of their approach, below is an explanation of each phase and the criteria within.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by luckyH Invoked jealousy! I bought these for my 7 yr old niece in blue. Pink was out of stock in her size. She was speechless when she opened the box! But the smile on her face, and her enthusiasm to put them on immediately, said it all! Her younger brother started crying as quickly as she smiled. He was so broken-hearted that there wasn't a pair for him. Guess what's on the list for his next gift.... This one is definitely a winner! May 9, 2011

Rated 4 out of 5Â by martyc love them! I had my last pair of adidas flip flops for 8 years. finally they broke and smelled. I had searched for the same kind but I do not think they make them anymore. the ones with the massage bumps bruised my feet for 2 days after wearing for one hour. so, i finally found these, and they are super comfortable and fit well. I wear a size 5.5, mine are size 4 and fit perfectly. you do need to try them on and make sure they fit before buying, as with most things. they do tend to smell funky though. but then again i wear mine all the time.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by sunseeker Lightweight Slides These slides are great and I love the color but they run small. I ordered a youth size 3 thinking my daughter who just started wearing a size 2 in other shoes would be able to wear them for 2 summers.

Some Mets Afraid Of Ghosts
I hate ghosts. They're spooky. And I don't respond well to spooky behavior.
— Amy Poehler as "Maxine Walken," Saturday Night Live, 2008
6 Comments
The Mets and Cardinals should have a joint seance to get in touch with their respective offenses and maybe they could scare up the shade of Wellemeyer while they're at it. Pujols won the second game of the series this week all on his lonesome, he's practically a one man baseball team.
Keith, Thanks for the Rick Dempsey story. I had not heard that one (though there are a lot of good Rick Dempsey stories). As a Nats fan, I can tell you that the power alleys at RFK are gigantic. Not quite 18,000 square yards, but close.
The Giants just left Milwaukee, and Pablo Sandoval claimed to have seen a ghost in his room. He had a hell of a good weekend, though, so if the Little Panda saw a ghost, I can only take it to be A Good Thing.
In Re: Your previous post, Keith, the St. Louis Post dispatch has an excellent interactive tour of St. Louis baseball parks and the Robison brothers are mentioned. You can see what occupies those spaces now. Go to stl.today.com if you're interested.
OK, while the Met offense does need work, the defense needs to send in their rookies. I personally want to thank the starters for their flawless performances that allowed my Yankees to sweep all three.

Deciphering (Ab)Normal Dog Behaviors
Chasing their tails, eating grass and rolling in garbage—should you worry?
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.

Great pic -- it's knothole month at The Bark.
Very interesting article, too -- I wonder (he speculated, in some fear of pinning the Weird Meter), what a similar article would look like, if one of my companion canines pawed a blog on how dogs could interpret various odd customs and behaviors of their homo sapiens hosts! :-)
Hysterical! And so funny you should mention... shortly after I wrote that blog, I caught my dog in the act of attempting his version of a follow up piece (he thinks I'm full of all sorts of oddities).
To his dismay, the spell check on my hijacked computer had difficulty deciphering "s;admoasdjfaslekm;aoima/lsekj;" slightly frustrated, he returned to his ball.

Any thoughts on why they eat dirt? I've got 2 dogs that love to do this and they're fed a high quality grain-free diet.
Hi Holly! This is a common question, I see! Can you refer to JC and Sam's question above... I asked JC to answer a few questions before I comment. If you'd like, you can do the same, which will give an interesting perspective for two people to compare to each other with regards to their dogs' dirt delicacies :). It is interesting that both of your dogs do this... what is the brand of the grain-free diet and the purpose that you are feeding this (allergies? other?).
I'll bring some answers back around when I have more information. Thanks for the interactive questions!

I've always imagined my dogs wondering, "Why does she carry my poop around in a plastic bag in her pocket?"...
Submitted by JC and Sam | February 2 2012 | Permalink
Thank you for the article. It provided great information. Any input concerning an entree of dirt? On occasion Sam prefers this to his expensive dog chow.
Hi JC and Sam (btw, I love that you included Sam on your name! :)
There are a couple things with eating dirt... but before I answer on, could you give me a little more history to help you with this answer? This would include: Sam's age, is he otherwise "healthy", any weight gains associated with the development of this behavior, does he do it often (try to define how often, how much), is this "snacking" increasing in amounts and frequency, any other general issues with him?
I may come back with a huge epiphany of an answer: "because he's a dog" :) but there are a few medical things to consider first.
I'll keep checking back for your reply and thanks for the feedback!

My dog is a CONSTANT licker -- our skin, sometimes even the couch or blankets on the bed. He is 3 years old and has been doing this since we got him at 5 months. What might this mean?
Submitted by Shea Cox DVM | February 16 2012 | Permalink
Hi Jenny! Dogs, like humans, can suffer from obessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In dogs specifically, OCD can be characterised by excessive licking of themselves as well as us and all other nearby objects. It can also just be an idiosyncratic "personal behavior," like a person who likes to bite their nails. One of my associates (and close friend) has a Pit Bull mix that constantly licks everything, too (the walls, floor, couch, legs... in fact, now she barks loudly at any wall outlet because she has electrocuted herself from sticking her tongue into the outlet too many times!).
If your pet is otherwise healthy, we often just lump this behavior into the category of "we don't really know" and offer a few of the best guesses that make sense for the situation. Behavior modification can be attempted. Medications can be tried, but, I tend to stay away from that tactic if the licking isn't overall self destructive to your pet and home.
If I were granted 3 wishes, one would be to be fluent in dog :)

My two dogs, ages 13 and 11, eat dirt. Good health, they eat lamb-based food (Wellness)...we joke about them having pica. For years they only wanted to eat the dirt from one specific area in a friend's yard, which has a lot of clay. Past couple of years they've started eating the nice dark loam in our front yard. Although the holes are a hazard, I'm generally jst glad when snacks don't involve poop!
Submitted by Shea Cox DVM | February 16 2012 | Permalink
Hi "A"... boy, there are a lot of dirt eaters out there! :)
We sometimes see dirt ingestion this with anemia (low red blood cell counts) but it sounds like you have ruled that out with your comment that they are in "good health." Mineral deficiencies are another common source of pica (specifically towards dirt), but this also sounds like it would not be the cause since they are on a well-balanced commercial diet. It is unusual that *both* of your dogs are trying to eat dirt, and not just one, so there may be a deficiency somewhere... You could talk to your vet about including a vitamin/mineral supplement into their daily routine.

My schip is 22mo old..we have had him for 6 mo. About 3 mo ago he started holding objects...soft toys or edge of his bed pillow.
It does not seem he is sucking. He even has jumped off my lap to suck it. He does drop it foe short time..mins...if alternative activity provided. He drags his bed illow around the house and yard.
Is there anything to do about this.....it seems so sad.

I have a 12 week old cockapoo/lab mix pup nd she has been showing some odd behavior lately. My 1 1/2 year old son goes without a diaper now nd thn nd my puppy will sniff his genitals nd start humping the air nd if he tries to get away from her she chases him all the while humping away. Now I have had many puppies over the years nd have never seen this behavior. Im wondering if she may have some kind of mental issue or if anybody else has seen this behavior before by chance?
