What does hair loss in cats signify?
The condition of skin and coat is an important indicator of your pet cat's general health. Many common cat and dog skin problems are similar to human skin afflictions. Cat dandruff is the most discussed cat skin disorders. But feline hair loss seems to be the most prevalent reason behind frequent visits to the veterinarian. Alopecia, the medical term for hair loss, in cats is also a symptom that is common to numerous cat skin disorders and diseases.
At an overall level, the frequency of skin diseases like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin) is lower in cats as compared to dogs. Irrespective of how often it happens, the fact of the matter is that once the skin problems starts, it is equally uncomfortable for cats and dogs alike. Excessive hair loss is actually a symptom of some deeper disorder that the pet is probably suffering from.
There are many conditions that can cause the symptom of hair loss. The illness that is troubling your cat can be identified only in conjunction with other symptoms. One should be aware of the possible issues that might actually be behind the unreasonable hair loss.
- Inadequate functioning of the immune system - Sometimes symptoms like chronic skin infections, abscesses and excessive hair loss imply that the immune system is not functioning adequately. Hair loss can also be caused by fungal infections, like ringworm, since the infection weakens hair shafts.
- Allergic reaction to certain allergens – For cats and dogs, the skin is the first organ that reacts to an allergen. The issue, like in humans, is that it is extremely difficult to hone into the cause of the allergy. The process of identifying the allergen is even more difficult in pets since one cannot really keep a log of all that the pet has come in contact with. Food items and environment and chemical substances are only few of the common allergens that give rise to allergic reactions in cats. Allergies induce itching and can lead to broken skin, lesions and hair loss. Cats have also been known to develop feline acne due to the use of a simple plastic bowl.
- Insect bites and hot spots – Cats are less prone to hot spots than dogs. Some experts state that hot spots occur due to stress. There is also a body of researchers that believe that hot spots actually occur due to certain insect bites. When the pet scratches the insect bite, the area becomes wet with serum and eventually leads to painful hot spots.
- Fleas – The presence of fleas in the fur can cause your cat to be extremely irritable. Even a single blood sucking flea has the capacity to cause dermatitis and intense itching throughout the body. The webs between toes are the most affected areas. Hair loss actually occurs in such cases when the presence of fleas leads to yeast or bacterial infection.
- Mange – Another skin disease that can cause excessive hair fall is mange. It is a persistent condition that is also contagious. Demodectic mange is genetic in nature, and Sarcoptic mange is contagious and causes intense itching. Cheyletiella mites attach themselves to the hair shafts and cause irritation. The infested cats scratch and lose hair.
Significant hair loss is actually an important symptom that can ultimately lead to proper diagnosis of the underlying disease. If you consider hair loss as a significant and pertinent indication, timely intervention can help in early detection.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Netball – More popular than you thinkFiled Under: Gifts
Netball is an exciting, fast-paced sport with a long tradition. Originally developed as a lower-impact, more decorous variation of basketball suitable for female players, netball has gained a worldwide following. Although the International Federation of Netball Associations officially recognizes only female teams, both men's and women's teams exist.
Since the rules of netball were developed to conform to 19th century notions of socially appropriate activities for women, there is less emphasis on raw physical power and more on skill, strategy and athleticism. Easy to learn rules, less risk of injury, and the simple pleasure of being part of something that not everyone knows about all make netball a fun activity for both men and women.
Netball can be an avenue for social progress as well. In parts of the world where women's social activities are still restricted by law or custom, netball is growing in popularity as an acceptable alternative to more strenuous sports, which may be seen as inappropriate for women. This makes netball an excellent tool for promoting physical fitness, social networking and empowerment for girls and women who might otherwise be denied access to the traditionally male-dominated world of sports. From rural villages in Burundi to the teeming urban environment of Mumbai, netball is opening new outlets and transforming the lives of young women.
Personalized Gifts such as t-shirts, hoodies and other items can be a wonderful way for netball fans to show their support, and spread the knowledge of their love for the sport to everyone they meet. Our netball gifts can range from baby clothes to coffee mugs, and make a delightful and treasured addition to any netball fan's life. A wide variety of designs to choose from means that perfect personalized gifts are only a click away.

Chien and his staff are outstanding in their kindness,n friendliness. Although he made suggestions in helping me plan my tours, he never pushed anything on me especially when i showed him that the hotel his company suggested had a low rating. Although you can feel the metal springs in the mattresses, it's nothing a towel under your bum can't fix, and the feeling of being genuinely well-cared for make up for it. If you like the huzzle of old town, stay there.

Your enjoyment of this place will depend greatly on what you value. If you want top-notch facilities or even a new coat of paint, for the same price you can find better-appointed hotels in the same area. If you want a personal experience with a a family that lives in the hotel, are overly friendly and welcoming, and bend over backwards to accommodate, then you will likely enjoy your stay.

Sacred Sprays
Elemental Nature - Coastal Blessing Sacred Space Spray
This synergistic blend of coastal sages (California sagebrush and white sage) and lavender is sustainably wild-crafted and indigenous to the coastal foothills of Santa Barbara, California.

It can be sprayed in and around a room as well as where you sleep. Use this spray the same way you would when you smudge with plants. As you spray, focus your intention on releasing stagnant energies so they may be recycled back to the earth, then take a deep breath and receive the fresh energies that you can source from now.

Happy Birthday Prof. Wole Soyinka: In celebration of your wit and literary mischief, I am hereby reproducing, what I personally regard as your best poem, "Telephone conversation".
I read this poem in school, but it was only when I arrived the UK that its naked facts and mischievous truth on racism hit me, according to you, on my "peroxide blond" palms.
A basic Aikido philosophy states that the strength is not in muscular force, but in flexibility, timing, control and modesty, its humanitarian purpose is to purify one's aggressive reactions to conflicts of ego, "But people will say Femi, you don't take the kind of risks Fela took…" this witty statement by Omoyele Sowore, that was meant to be followed by a question, will lead to a (no)interview with the son of the Afrobeat legend, Femi Kuti at the Fela! Broadway performance in New York.
Donald Duke - a former state governor in Nigeria used to intrigue me. Intrigue in the context that I know so little of him not having visited Cross Rivers, or in fact anywhere in the East beyond Benin City, yet he comes across as a pretty privileged model, compared to the rest of his crew - political gangsters that run - or used to run the show in Nigeria.
The most enduring recollection of Donald Duke I have is one of him performing the welcoming speech of that ill-fated Miss World contest that Silverbird Entertainment group was hosting back in the day.
History demands that we record dates when life on the planet suffer grave setbacks, and I'm still struggling to recover the day the holy trinity of dignity, pride and honour fell off the Nigerian moral lexicon, when Nigeria became a fast food nation.
Announcer: ..and now, here is your Tonight's Show host, Dr. D.J. Damages (Applause)
Dr. Damages: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. While we were about to go on air for tonight's show, I got a call from one Kassim Afegbua. He asked me if I was ready to play a role in a movie.
"What movie?" I asked.
"An interview with a vampire," he said.
"How are you?"
''I was told that you are the Senior Prefect of City Royal Secondary School, (CSSS), Nyanya, Abuja."
"Yes, sir''
''No, one of the prefects''
"What is your name?''
''My name is October Independence Abubakar''
"Did I hear you clearly?''
''Sir, it is October Independence Abubakar"
''This is an extraordinary name! How old are you?"
"16 years, sir"
"Do you know why I acknowledge that your name is extra-ordinary?"
"No, sir"
"Just trying to reconcile the October and Independence part of the name. Please, are you declaring that is what your parents call you?"
"Yes, sir"
''I acknowledge that Abubakar is a common name but October and Independence is rare… Did your parents explain why they christened you those names?''
''They told me that October was the month that I was born, hence my being christened October.''
''What about the Independence name?''
''My parents told me that they were born on October 1, 1960, the year Nigeria secured her Independence from Britain.''
''Did they tell you more?''
''No, only that they said that they cherished that day and decided to call me by that name since I was their first child.''
''This means that you are special in many respects.''
''Yes, sir''
''I understand that you were part of those who visited the National Assembly during the week.
''Yes, I was part of them, with our teachers.''
''How many were you?''
''We were more than 75''
''That is a large number''
''The entire school wanted to come with us''
''It was a life-long opportunity.''
''What did you go there to do?''
''We went to observe firsthand what our Government and Social Studies teachers have been teaching us.''
''If, I understand you correctly, are you referring to the subjects Government and Social Studies?
Yes, Sir''
''This is interesting!''
''What part of these subjects do you find most fascinating?''
''Types of Government, Law Making Process, Political Parties, Organs of Government, Operations of Government, Elections and Electoral Process, Civics, etc''
''Who mooted the idea of the visit?''
''We raised the request and pleaded with our teachers to arrange an excursion. Initially, our head teacher informed us that the process of arranging the excursion were cumbersome based on protocol and bureaucracies but promised to do his best to secure it for us.''
''Did it take long from the time it was first mooted, and when you finally visited?''
''No, it did not. Nevertheless, at a point we became agitated and had to ask questions.''
''When the date was eventually confirmed, what was your reaction and that of your colleagues?''
'' We were beside ourselves with excitement. There was celebration throughout the school. Many students who were not part of the excursion team felt bad. I remember running home after school hours to inform my parents about the development.''
''How did your parents receive the information?''
''They were very happy, very happy. They wished me well and instructed that I note every detail of our excursion. My father requested that I prepare to write an essay after our visit.''
''You mean that… Now have you written the essay?''
''What essay, sir? What will I write? Will I write that I visited the National Assembly and saw Honourable Members of the House of Representatives wrestling or fighting? What essay?''
''Did you say wrestling or fighting?''
''You mean you did not note whether they were fighting or wrestling.''
''Initially, it was exchange of blows but later it degenerated into wrestling.''
''How many of them were doing this?''
''The entire chambers were in an uproar. We could not count the figure. My colleagues and I saw honourable members running helter-skelter. At a point, we saw some of them carrying objects and hitting one another. We were at the gallery but were still scared.''
''Why did you and your colleagues not leave the arena?''
''We were confused. We wanted to be sure of the exit point to follow. You will not understand. We also saw a woman, who was beaten. She was shouting and crying. There was this man, whose agbada was shredded. We later found out that he was the leader of a group they called 'Progressives'.
''Progressives, you said…?''
''Some mischievous ones amongst us were chorusing Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hagan at the background.''
''Did you try to stop them from chanting?''
''I could not do anything''
''Where were your teachers?''
''They were with us''
''So, what did they do?''
''They were confused. They tried to manage the situation.''
''How did they fare?''
''Sir, I must confess that they tried. Some of my colleagues wanted to walk down to the chambers to feed their eyes except that the teachers intervened. We even saw one of the members carrying a canister with which he sprayed another member. It was at this point that we received instruction from our teachers to leave the chambers.''
''I understand that the Speaker, Bankole Dimeji, drove personally to the school to apologize to you all''
''Yes, but do not mind him. It was mere PR charade. Why did it take him that long to do? It is too late. Do not forget that that impression had long registered.''
''So you mean all of you did not accept his apology?''
''Some of us did, but for me, it is a terrible experience to live down. It has registered!''
''Could you remember any of the members that were involved in the scuffle?''
''No, but there was this one they called ogbologbo, some were calling him area boy. He was very strong. It took about five members to restrain him. He was like a lion. They tore his shirts.''
''You saw all these?''
''Was it Honorable Patrick Obahiagbon?''
''No, I know that one very well. He is the one that speaks big English. He was actually one of the members that I had looked forward to meet. I watch him regularly on television. I am sure that he was not amongst the wrestlers. He comes across as a gentle man.''
''You mean you could not recall any name.''
''I am sorry sir; we have resolved to call them dishonorable members''
''When you say 'we', whom are you referring?''
''My colleagues and I''
''Please, do not say that''
''Sir, that is, what we have resolved to address them from now. I heard some of them shouting, Dino, the bulldog, Dino, the bulldog. I was wondering whether he was a member of the house.''
''How about if the police arrest you for calling them dishonourable members, what would you do?''
''I will explain to the police why I am addressing them as dishonorable members. Do not forget that I am a minor. I am 16 years old''
''You said you could not write the essay, which your father requested that you write, because there was nothing remarkable to write about''
''All that you have told me could make a good essay''
''Yes, but, none of what I saw were taught during our classes by our teachers. At no time, did our teachers lectured us that lawmaking or legislative procedure involved fighting or wrestling.''
''Are you disappointed?''
''I am disillusioned. I am ashamed of being a Nigerian. I hope you are aware that this 'show of shame' took place same day that Super Eagles embarrassed the nation in South Africa. I am sad that the children of these lawmakers are not in the country to witness what their fathers have turned this country to. My mother told me that most of the children of the parliamentarians are in places like Ghana, US, Britain, Saudi Arabia, schooling.''
''If given the opportunity again, would you want to visit the National Assembly?''
''For what sir, I will not''
''So, what is your impression of member of the House of Representatives?''
''They are a disgrace to their children, family, and the nation. This has clearly shown that our leaders are incapable of running this country. They did this in our presence. As leaders of tomorrow to be, what example are they bequeathing to us? If I knew that this was going to happen, I would have opted out of the trip.''
''Are you aware that the molested female members' constituency and women liberation groups are spoiling for a fight with the leadership of the House?''
''My father told me that a female parliamentarian had in the past, slapped a male colleague of hers', and almost blinded him in the process. So why are the women protesting now. Look, sir, my father says that fracas of this nature had been taking place in the House of Representatives since 1999. In fact, he narrated a recent episode in Edo State House of Assembly, where one of the members came into the chambers with a bomb to blow everybody up. He said it is a usually occurrence in most State Assembly.''
''Will you aspire to be a legislature?''
''Tu fia kwa, God forbid bad thing, I will plead with my father to send me abroad to school next year, that is, after my studies in this school. Do not forget that next year is another election year. I am sure that that they will turn the nation into a wrestling mat.''
''Sir, please, let me ask you one question.''
''Please, go ahead.''
'' Have the 60 lawmakers that travelled to South Africa to watch the Super Eagles returned from the trip?''
''I think they should have returned by now.''
''It was better they were not around to witness the brawling circus''
''Because they would have joined in the fracas''
''Thank you for your time''
2010 National Honour Award List! Why's Ibori's Name Not Included?

2010 National Honour Award List! Why's Ibori's Name Not Included?
Written By Sunday Njokede
The National Honour Award in Nigerian is the assemblage and advertisement of the rejects in our society and a showcase of the 'gangster's paradise' community, yonder. You get the same depressing sense of sickness every time you meet a pastor flying in private airplane while ghetto people and their children who pay his bills via offering, live in stark poverty. If you gather our National honour winners and pastors who spend the thrift of their congregations for self-serving interests, you get a perfect tribe of Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah people in Nigeria. I now pass the microphone to Dora Akuyili, the information minister as per re-branding the outcasts who have won the nation's award with runaway successes.
Our National Honour list became the one for nuisance value since when the Obasanjo political class stormed our political places in 1999 like the Pharaonic plagues. Since then the Honour List has become the yardstick by which conventional wisdom measures roguery, economic hit men and women, corruption heavies, profiteers, ratbags, playboys and playgirls. Hardly has decent people won our national award and when socio-centric people like Chinue Achebe win, they reject it because they're shamefaced to be categorized alongside their wayward peer winners who dotted the award lists since 1999.
Ibori. How'd president Jonathan Goodluck explain to history, and future generation of Nigerians that Ibori's name is missing from the National Honour list he claimed was compiled by late president Yar'Adua before he died? It's also no small wonder that Mike Aondokaa's name is more so, not on that list. Unthinkable! Our president seems to be raising the bar of deception as well as moving and shaking statecraft the Machiavellian way. He tells you everything he does is in the interest of Nigeria including: knocking-about with aimless abandon abroad, official human trafficking of Nigerians en masse to Canada and sundry places. His newest nationalist goodwill for Nigeria is the by-now National Honour list that is full of criminal Mafia and misbehaving thieving class. We should all kowtow on bended-knees Chinese-style and thank Jonathan Goodluck for the massive achievements he has recorded so far on our behalves since he took over statecraft.
I call it the National Horror List. It is an influence-peddling venture dressed up and misconstrued by Jonathan as national honour. He's under burning compulsion to settle and compromise our political lowlifers and sundry people to play 2011 presidential election ball to one side. The president has no scruples masturbating our statecraft for his personal self-aggrandisement of 2011 presidential election, to the detriment and shortchanging of other presidential candidates. As sure as egg is egg, Jonathan will vie for 2011 election. Forget about his rigmarole and political brinkmanship of false modesty of not knowing whether he'd vie. The same old-school delay tactics employed by ex-president Obasanjo to announce his interest in the eleventh-hour. That kind of pretension no longer cut ice with the Nigerian masses who are thankful to Saharareporters.com for opening their political eyes.
Late president Yar'Adua must be turning in his grave that the names of his frontline men were excluded from Jonathan's 2010 National Honour list. The deceased ruler should by now be cursing fire and brimstone to consume the present administration for the disservice of omitting his foxhole buddies from the list. 'Jonathan don fall Yar'Adua hand' like streetwise people from Delta and Edo would say to badmouth Mr. Jonathan for stabbing his late master on his back.
There's nothing that sits right with the 2010 National Honour list. James Ibori would no doubt, be in the front row of any honour list that'd have been handpicked by the late ruler friend of his. In addition to that, Mike Aondokaa would have been the chairperson to such committee picking. Whereby he'd have shamelessly apportioned the choicest titles to himself and ilk of Yar'Adua friends and hangers-on. Is either the list was not compiled by Yar'Adua or that Jonathan Goodluck removed Ibori and Mike Aondokaa's name therefrom. So the speculation by Jonathan's regime that the list was finalised by the late president is suspect, and does not hold water by any conventional standard.
Some federal matters that has K-leg or bad nowadays is credited to the Yar'Adua's era. After all, the churn writer David Hardly Chase once said that: The Dead Don't Bite. Jonathan seems to be a pretty good buck passer. His native, and wayo inclination msut've told him that Nigerians and people all over the world would quarrel and lampoon his National Honour list with acidic ruthlessness. Hence he has passed the buck of the 'National Horror' list to the late president. Who'd not envy in the negative, a honour list that has the name of EFCC chairwoman Farida Waziri? Former House of Representative's head-woman Patricia Etteh who was ousted due to corrupt sharp practices is also on the Honour list. Recently, Dora Akuyili, Jonathan's mouthpiece was reported to have claimed that certain government spending was hiked up by the deceased president. Yar'Adua is now this regime's fall man and punchbag.
How could Yar'Adua have included Otedola's name who it's reported, has been pencilled down to finance Jonathan's 2011 election but omitted James Ibori's name: his very close friend who financed his 2007 election that allowed Jonathan the leeway to Aso Rock? The 2010 list should be reworked to include Yar'Adua front-men, the usual way PDP people conduct themselves in their family business. Senator Omisore was in jail when he won election conducted in conventional Nigeria. So what's the heck about not including Ibori and Mike Aondokaa's names because one is now incarcerated abroad and the other, banned from entering the USA? Or is this selectiveness as a result, that both men peppered the hell out of Jonathan Goodluck when the late president's cabal held sway?
Normal and ordinary Nigerians would not care if more of the Farida Waziri and Patricia Etteh kind of PDP Nigerians are added to the Satanic verse of 2010 Honour list. The more wayward citizens make the list the better for the rest of us who have nothing to do with the gathering and recognition of corrupt sleazebags par excellence.
From Nigeria to Europe, America to Japan all over the world, Jonathan's award list would become an international laughing-stock. Politicians in Washington and the European Union will concluded after reading the list, that Jonathan Goodluck is the man for 'Disney Award of Showmanship.' Yes, our president deserves to be the joker of 2010 if those on the list are Jonathan's stand-up men and women. All the goodwill international community imposed on him shortly after inception must have evaporated after they read the caliber of those who made the list. In normal society, Jonathan awardees would be in jail. Most of his awardees are either wanted by EU and USA or have been declared persona non grata by First World countries. Farida Waziri is highly detested by the US authorities plus their European allies.
This administration's National Honour list played directly into the hand of Odumegu Ojukwu's Biafra 'war memo.' Where Ojuku warned leaders not to build monuments for themselves. It's misnomer that sitting officeholders would apportion monuments titles to themselves. But only in Nigeria. After Jonathan single-handedly bestowed upon himself the highest honour in the land, he now extends unmerited titles to president's men and women to pacify their hearts and bribe them for his 2011 election activity.
If 2010 National Honour awardees was chosen by late Yar'Adua, Ibori and Aondokaa would've clinched the topmost honour titles. And if they are not honorees, it means Jonathan must have doctored it, making it Jonathan's Honour List and not Yar'Adua's. And that is why most of Yar'Adua's best men who Jonathan dislikes refuse to make the list.

Diabetes a Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality in 3.3 Million SubjectsPosted: Saturday, June 30, 2007
A new study concludes that patients with type 2 diabetes 30 years of age and older who are receiving glucose-reducing treatment should also receive prompt intensive prophylactic treatment for cardiovascular disease.
Diabetic patients requiring glucose-reducing treatment, say investigators, have the same cardiovascular risk as patients who have had a myocardial infarction (MI) and should be treated with antiplatelet drugs, statins, and possibly an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker.
These are the conclusions of a large population-based study of more than three million Danish subjects presented this week at the American Diabetes Association 2007 Scientific Sessions in Chicago, IL. Lead investigator Dr Tina Schramm (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) stated that any patient in need of antidiabetic medication should be a candidate for primary cardiovascular disease prevention.
"Any patient that needs antidiabetic medication is not very well regulated and should be considered high risk, and they should get primary prevention," said Schramm. "It's a very easy way to allocate patients to treatment. If I have a 30-year-old patient who comes to me in need of antidiabetic drugs, maybe, if I'm lucky, I can change this person's lifestyle in the next ten years. So let me prevent the myocardial infarction that might disable them. I can postpone the risk and maybe buy them more time to change their lifestyle."
Schramm said the magnitude of cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes is unclear, particularly in younger patients. Although diabetes is accepted as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease--especially since an analysis of the East-West Study showed that a person who has diabetes without a history of heart disease has the same risk of dying of MI as a person who has already had a heart attack--there are still disparities in the recommendations for primary prevention in diabetes in the major clinical guidelines worldwide, she said.
The purpose of this study, said Schramm, was to estimate the diabetes-related cardiovascular risk in patients receiving glucose-reducing therapy. All residents in Denmark aged 30 years and older were followed for five years through nationwide administrative registers, a cohort that included 3.3 million subjects. Investigators compared the risk of cardiovascular events--MI, stroke, or cardiovascular death, and a combined end point that included all three--in patients with diabetes receiving antidiabetic medications, with and without a prior MI, with nondiabetic patients with and without a prior MI.
In estimating the risk, investigators found that men and women with diabetes requiring glucose-reducing medication (n=71 801) had an equivalent risk of cardiovascular death, as well as the combined end point of MI, stroke, and cardiovascular death, as patients without diabetes but who had experienced an MI (n=79 575). Looking only at MI as an end point, patients with diabetes had a lower risk than those who had had an MI; in terms of stroke, patients with diabetes mellitus had a greater risk than those with prior disease. A propensity score matching patients who had had an MI with diabetic patients found no difference in the risk of cardiovascular events.
In clinical practice, Schramm said diabetologists are most likely to be aggressive with intensive prophylactic therapies in patients with diabetes, mainly because they are aware of the risk that diabetes confers. Cardiologists, although certainly aggressive with secondary prevention, are sometimes less likely to aggressively treat these patients, said Schramm. Risk-stratification algorithms, she added, can often be so complicated that those who would benefit from treatment are overlooked, especially younger patients.
"If they're taking antidiabetic medication, however, we should consider them at high risk and write them prescriptions for these other drugs," said Schramm.

Chariot charged
Transportation Services boosts operations with electric 'green' tech
Published: Monday, July 16, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 19:07
Clad in helmets, gray shirts and neon vests, parking patrolmen whiz by walking students on their high-tech T3 Electric Standup Vehicles. The three-wheeled "chariots" are one of several new technologies Transportation Services has added to "more efficiently" manage parking- and transportation-related issues at Texas A&M University.
"We continue to look for the newest technology in order to communicate and conduct business with our customers in the easiest and most efficient ways for them," said June Broughton, marketing manager for Transportation Services.
Broughton said Transportation Services focuses on including "green initiatives" into the budgetary process. She said the enforcement team utilizes the all-electric, three-wheeled chariots in order to move about campus and remote lots quicker and more efficiently.
The electric operation of the T3 is estimated to be equivalent to more than 500 mpg of
"Walking was the method most of those who are using the T3s had," said Pete Willis, Transportation Services parking services manager. "[But] our enforcement team continues to use scooters, walking and bicycles, as well."
Students are aware that the T3 is more environmentally friendly than the gasoline powered scooters, but some are not supportive of how Transportation Services, which is partially supported by tickets and student fees, is spending its funds.
Brenton Stamper, senior biological and agricultural engineering major, said both scooters and T3s will have a carbon footprint, so in the end, there is still going to be an effect on the environment.
"[The T3s] kind of remind me of 'The Jetson's' in real life. I feel like there may be more efficient ways to spend that much money when trying to be 'green' as opposed to getting the newest, most improved ways of transportation," said junior
junior communication major Amy Carthel. "Yeah, they look cool, but what does it do? I feel like if you were willing to be parking police, then you should be willing to ride a bike."
Martin Reyna, senior mechanical engineering major, agrees with Carthel.
"I think they are unnecessary if you require those in the job position of parking police to ride bikes," Reyna said. "For example, the U.S. Postal Service still has people walking door-to-door delivering mail as part of some jobs' requirement. So, I don't think it is excessive to ask parking police to ride bicycles."
Reyna said it is a way to show off unnecessary eco-friendliness.
"I think when they looked at the problem, they came up with an unnecessarily exaggerated solution," Reyna said. "There is a more elegant solution."
Transportation Services started phasing T3s into its enforcement system in November. As Transportation Services introduces more T3s at the beginning of its next budget year, more gasoline scooters will be replaced. Willis said fewer scooters will reduce carbon emissions as well as response time to complaints.
Broughton said three additional T3s, at more than $9,000 apiece, have been ordered.
Transportation Services has three main sources of revenue from parking-related funds. Parking permits are the largest, followed by visitor parking and then violations.
"Violations represent only 10 percent of our total parking budget," Broughton said. "The chariots were budgeted from our overall parking budget."
Though Broughton said T3 riders are able to cover the campus more effectively, visit parking areas more often, respond to calls for service quicker, the T3s have not resulted in more tickets.
"I don't necessarily give out more tickets, but the T3 lets me cover my area more quickly," said Mark Fangue, senior sociology major and T3 rider.
There were 62,835 citations written in 2011, which was a decrease of about 2,500 citations from the previous year.
"In the last 10 years, the total number of citations written has decreased by about
20 percent," Broughton said. "I mainly attribute that to the ease of obtaining a parking permit, expanded visitor parking options and the lot specific parking system."
T3s don't require a specific license to operate, leaving employees satisfied.
Students have mixed ideas on the expenditures associated with this technology.
"It shows me how lazy the parking people are. Why can't they walk or bike to a certain place? They could be saving a lot more money just riding bikes, instead of spending nine grand on an electric vehicle," Stamper said. "It's not that I don't like the parking people, but it's just that I am not sure this is necessary."
About Transportation Services
Transportation Services in an auxiliary and is financially self-supported.

Reb Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld and his wife came to Jerusalem as a penniless young couple. All they wanted was to live quietly and simply, absorb the Torah and spiritual riches of the Holy City. He wanted to be a student rather than a teacher, a follower rather than a leader — but it was not to be. Jerusalem's greatest people soon realized that the modest young man was their colleague, and that he was destined to be Jerusalem's leader of the future.
This is a warm and inspiring story of a great life. Reb Yosef Chaim was the kind of man who drew water from a well for a little girl and who endangered himself to save the life a man who hated him. He was a great talmid chacham, a great leader, a great treasurer of charity funds. Only one thing he could never do — accept honors or favors.
Reb Yosef Chaim was one of the most important people who shaped the history of the Holy City and the Holy Land in this century. No one can read his story without becoming a better person, without absorbing his love for Torah and his fellow Jews. He is a man who will live on in your memory and in your dreams about the wonderful city to which he devoted his life.

600,000 Americans Have 'Megacommutes' of Over 90 Minutes
Mar 6th 2013 11:30AM
By Steve Hargreaves Think your commute is bad? Try being one of the 600,000 Americans who travel more than 90 minutes each way over a distance of at least 50 miles to get to work. Dubbed "megacommutes," these trips are concentrated mostly around large cities -- especially New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco,... Continue Reading »

Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas perverts the Christian Gospels like no other church in the United States today. More hate group or cult than church, the group of fewer than 100 lost souls has made news in recent years for picketing at the funerals of American soldiers — disrupting their families' solemn time of remembrance — to spread the basic message that homosexuality leads God to punish this country.
I'm not sure which Gospel pastor Fred Phelps reads, but I'm pretty sure I don't recall Christ ever sending out his flock to picket anyone. In fact, it seems the only times the figure this church claims to follow got angry about anything… it was when the religious people of his day inserted themselves between God and the beings he had created.
But why am I writing about the nitwits at Westboro Baptist today? Because I'm proud as can be of what several Texas A&M students did to protect one their own yesterday.
On June 28th, Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale of the US Army was killed during a training exercise at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. In a horrible turn of events he was shot by another soldier who then shot himself and eventually died of his own self-inflicted wound. Hearing of this story, Westboro Baptist officials posted online plans to picket the funeral of Tisdale, a Texas A&M grad.
In response, a group of current Aggie students – reportedly between 500 and 650 — showed up to create a "maroon wall" that would keep the protesters away from the funeral and the grieving family of Tisdale.
Westboro protesters never showed up, but the Aggie spirit surely did.
This might not have a darned thing to do with athletics, but it does say a lot about the SEC's new member institution. And in response to the action taken by the A&M students let me just voice my personal welcome to all Aggies once again. It's very, very good to have you in the Southeastern Conference.
Below is a photo of the "maroon wall. More can be found at Buzzfeed.com by clicking the top link in this post.
The photo below from The Houston Chronicle shows Tisdale's young son, Lane, at his father's funeral. God bless those A&M students for showing up to protect him and the rest of the Tisdale family from Westboro's hatemongers had they themselves dared to show up.

The giraffe, orangutan and other babies are thriving.
April 30, 2013
The ABQ BioPark Zoo welcomed two zoo babies last week and both are doing well. First, a giraffe calf was born on April 20. Then six days later, Sarah the Sumatran orangutan had another healthy baby. Older zoo babies, including Chopper the rhino calf, continue to thrive, and the zoo is looking forward to several other significant births this year.
"Zoo animals are always fun to visit and babies like the giraffe and orangutan really add to the excitement," said Lynn Tupa, Zoo Manager. "We've been fortunate to have healthy babies and mothers, and our zookeepers will continue to provide the best care. They know how important these births are to our conservation and education efforts."
As part of the Association for Zoos and Aquariums, the ABQ BioPark participates in Species Survival Plans for 29 different species. We also work with other zoos and aquariums around the world on breeding and population management programs for many other animals.
New Zoo Babies
The unnamed female giraffe calf is thriving under the care of zookeepers. Unable to bond with her mother, the calf is being bottle fed four times a day. Guests can see her in the giraffe yard throughout the day and might even catch one of her mid-day feedings around 11 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. BioPark Facebook fans can vote through May 3 - 10 on their favorite name for the calf.
The orangutan mother and baby are venturing into the exhibit now. Guests may be able to catch a glimpse of the young one clinging to Sarah on warm, sunny days. (If the weather is breezy or cloudy, or if temperatures are under 60, the pair will remain inside.) Zookeepers have organized special gender-revealing enrichment for the Orangutan Baby Shower on May 11 at 10 a.m. Will the orangutans' boxes and treats be blue or pink? Join us to find out and vote on your favorite name! Voting for the orangutan name will continue at Sunday's Mother's Day Concert and on Facebook the following week.
Continuing to Thrive
Chopper, the white rhino calf, can be seen from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. daily with Bertha, a female adult that acts as an "auntie" or surrogate mom. Born on October 30, 2012, he is six months old today and weighs in at 884 pounds. He has started eating grass and hay, in addition to four bottles of specially formulated milk each day.
Behind the scenes in the Reptile House, zookeepers are caring for several less cuddly but still cute babies: three crocodile skinks and 13 Western Diamondback rattlesnakes. Born about five inches long, the baby snakes have no rattle but are "hot" from birth. Baby rattlers can actually be more dangerous than adults because they cannot control their venom flow, and a bite results in a relatively large amount of venom.
And behind the scenes at the Aquarium's Aquatic Conservation Facility, staff is rearing more than 50,000 baby Rio Grande silvery minnows!
Coming Soon
BioPark cat keepers will be watching the female snow leopard, Kachina, closely over the next few weeks. A video monitor gives them an inside look at her nest box and they hope to see one or more cubs very soon. UPDATE: Snow Leopard twins born Friday, May 3.
With about five months to go, Rozie the elephant is in the home stretch of her 22-month gestation. Zookeepers expect a birth sometime around September. The elephant team works daily with Rozie on an exercise routine to keep her fit and help prevent birth complications. Other birth preparations include training with older sibling Daizy and regular ultrasounds.
And as one might expect in spring, bird keepers have observed nesting and egg-laying in many species, including two that are extinct in the wild-Socorro doves and Micronesian kingfishers. Keepers hope to see successful hatches and rearing in both species this year. For more information, email [email protected] or dial 311 locally (505-768-2000).

On the day of weekend home games this season, the official Chelsea website is outlining different aspects of the matchday operation at Stamford Bridge away from the pitch, giving a flavour of the stadium in use for supporters who don't attend in person, or for those who do and are interested in the behind-the-scenes life.
A wide variety of activity takes place on site before, during and after each game, from ticketing to turnstiles, big screens to bars, pitch grooming to programme selling, but the natural place to begin is at the start, and the early-hours opening up of the ground.
Of course match preparation will have gone on across the site in the week before, but in terms of the day itself, readying Stamford Bridge for the arrival of the fans begins at 5.30am.
That is when checks begin that no new information has become available overnight from outside authorities or the police which might alter the running of the day.
'If there are any adjustments for briefing notes, those adjustments are made so the information we give our staff is accurate,' explains the club's matchday safety officer Jill Dawson, who carries out the process. Consultation also takes place with Chelsea's head of security Keith Overstall.
'I will then walk round the stadium when it is light to see if there are any last-minute items that need to be moved, repaired, replaced and to make sure the fabric of the stadium is as it should be,' she adds.
'In the control room I check the CCTV cameras are operating, with confirmation from the in-house security who have used them during the week. The emergency phones are checked, as is the turnstile counting system which is crucial to us knowing how many people are in and in which areas so that should anything go wrong we are in full knowledge of the facts.
'Monitors are also set up to log all the conversations between the safety staff in the control room and the stewards.'
The firing up of these systems takes until about 9.30am. At 10.30 ahead of a 3 o'clock kick-off, the senior stewarding staff will be briefed in the press room in the East Stand, yet to be opened to the media for the day.
Staff who man the hospitality areas arrive at 11.30 for their briefing with those areas opening for supporters at 12.30, and the stewards for the regular seating areas begin at 11.45, ready for the stadium to be open at 12.45.
For today's 5.30pm kick-off those times shift accordingly, with briefing of supervisors beginning at 1pm and the whole ground opened by 3.15.
'The other people I see first in the early morning are the catering chefs who come in to prepare, and the night shift and the day shift for the permanent security team changing over,' reports Dawson.
'The first fans you see from about 9 o'clock or earlier, depending on whether there are tickets at the box office, and the place starts to get a buzz about it from about 9.30. That is when you would become aware there is a game on, and visiting fans more than anyone are around. From 10.30 onwards, the atmosphere really builds.'
Twice in the last year stormy overnight weather has made it necessary for staff to stay in the hotel at the Bridge and begin very early inspections for damage and assessment of conditions, with the groundstaff gritting through the night when snow has fallen.
'I've been here 13 years and inherited staff who've been here a lot longer and whose knowledge of Chelsea is phenomenal, and it is a team operation,' says Dawson.
By turnstile opening time, 750 to 800 safety and stewarding staff are deployed and the systems are up and running to ensure the conditions set by the local authority are met.
The fans can then enter, and the main business of watching top-class football can begin.
