Fox Latino poll: President Obama wallops any GOP candidate
A Fox News Latino poll released Monday shows President Obama with a huge lead — 70 percent to 14 percent — over Mitt Romney if he were to be the Republican presidential candidate come November.
For that matter, none of the Republican candidates gains much traction with Latino voters.
This is bad news for Republicans in key swing states, including Colorado, where the Latino vote is considered crucial.
In 2008 in Colorado, three out of five Latinos cast their ballots for Obama. Latinos comprise 9 percent of the state's registered voters.
An interesting twist in the Fox polling data, according to the story based on the poll, is that in grading President Obama, Latino voters give him the lowest marks on immigration.
Paradoxically, immigration is also the issue in which President Obama receives his lowest approval rating among Latino voters –some 41 percent disapprove of the job he is doing regarding immigration, with the number climbing higher to 56 percent among Latinos between the age of 35 and 44.

A systematic and comprehensive compilation of laws, rules, or regulations that are consolidated and classified according to subject matter.
Many states have published official codes of all laws in force, including the Common Law and statutes as judicially interpreted, that have been compiled by code commissions and enacted by legislatures. The U.S. Code (U.S.C.) is the compilation of federal laws.
n. a collection of written laws gathered together, usually covering specific subject matter. Thus, a state may have a civil code, corporations code, education code, evidence code, health and safety codes, insurance code, labor code, motor vehicle code, penal code, revenue and taxation code, and so forth. Federal statutes which deal with legal matters are grouped together in codes. There are also statutes which are not codified. Despite their apparent permanence codes are constantly being amended by legislative bodies. Some codes are administrative and have the force of law even though they were created and adopted by regulatory agencies and are not actually statutes or laws. (See: law, statute)

codesee CODIFICATION.
CODE, legislation. Signifies in general a collection of laws. It is a name given by way of eminence to a collection of such laws made by the legislature. Among the most noted may be mentioned the following:
CODE, JUSTINIAN, civil law. A collection of the constitutions of the
emperors, from Adrian to Justinian; the greater part of those from Adrian to
Constantine are mere rescripts; those from Constantine to Justinian are
edicts or laws, properly speaking.
2. The code is divided into twelve books, which are subdivided into titles, in which the constitutions are collected under proper heads. They are placed in chronological order, but often disjointed. At the head of each constitution is placed the name of the emperor who is the author, and that of the person to whom it is addressed. The date is at the end. Several of these constitutions, which were formerly in the code were lost, it is supposed by the neglect of "copyists. Some of them have been restored by modern authors, among whom may be mentioned Charondas, Cugas, and Contius, who translated them from Greek, versions.
CODE, OF LOUISIANA. In 1822, Peter Derbigny, Edward Livingston, and Moreau
Lislet, were selected by the legislature to revise and amend the civil code,
and to add to it such laws still in force as were not included therein. They
were authorized to add a system of commercial law, and a code of practice.
The code the prepared having been adopted, was promulgated in 1824, under
the title of the "Civil Code of the State of Louisiana."
2. The code is based on the Code Napoleon, with proper and judicious modifications, suitable for the state of Louisiana. It is composed of three books: 1. the first treats of persons; 2. the second of things, and of the different modifications of property; 3. and the third of the different modes of acquiring the property of things. It contains 3522 articles, numbered from the beginning, for the convenience of reference.
3. This code, it is said, contains many inaccurate definitions. The legislature modified and changed many of the provisions relating to the positive legislation, but adopted the definitions and abstract doctrines of the code without material alterations. From this circumstance, as well as from the inherent difficulty of the subject, the positive provisions of the code are often at variance with the theoretical part, which was intended to elucidate them. 13 L. R. 237.
4. This code went into operation on the 20th day of May,. 1825. 11 L. R. 60. It is in both the French and English languages; and in construing it, it is a rule that when the expressions used in the French text of the code are more comprehensive than those used in English, or vice versa, the more enlarged sense will be taken, as thus full effect will be given to both clauses. 2 N. S. 582.
CODE, NAPOLEON. The Code Civil of France, enacted into law during the reign of Napoleon, bore his name until the restoration of the Bourbons when it was deprived of that name, and it is now cited Code Civil.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Nuri al-Maliki said on Wednesday the appointment of Haider al-Abadi to replace him as Iraq's prime minister violated the constitution and "had no value".
In a televised speech, Maliki said everyone should accept a pending federal court ruling on an objection he filed against Abadi's appointment, and said his government would continue until a final decision was made.
Abadi won swift endorsements from the United States and Iran on Tuesday as he called on political leaders to end feuds that have allowed Islamist militants to seize a third of the country.
State television on Wednesday reported that Abadi was working on forming a new cabinet and developing a government program in agreement with other political blocs.
But Maliki has so far refused to step aside after eight years as premier. Critics have accused the Shi'ite Islamist of marginalizing the country's once-dominant Sunni Muslim community during his rule and thereby worsening the country's crisis.
On Wednesday, Maliki said the decision to appoint Abadi as prime minister was not valid without a decision from the Federal Court on an appeal he said he filed on Tuesday against the decision to task Abadi with forming a new government.
"The violation that occurred has no value and its consequences have no effect," he said.
"This government is continuing, and will not be changed except after the Federal Court issues its decision."

Night lights
By directing the exterior lighting we reduce light pollution to the surrounding environment.
Let the sun shine in
Windows provide natural light and reduce the use of electricity.
Amazing glaze
High performance window glazing saves energy by maximizing the library's heating and cooling systems.
Watering Down
We've reduced the amount of water we use by 60% with the installation of efficient landscape irrigation systems.
Our plants are green too!
We selected native and adapted plants that are well-suited to our climate, and require less water than traditional ground covers such as grass.
Taming the temperature
We use roofing and exterior paving materials that reduce the heat island effect (thermal gradient differences between developed and natural areas). This minimizes our impact on the microclimate and on wildlife habitat.
Going with the flow
Our landscaped bioswales remove silt and pollution from stormwater runoff.
It's Alive!
A living roof with native species plantings reduces the library's carbon footprint by reducing heat island effects and capturing rain water.
A bright idea
High performance lighting fixtures use less electricity and need to be replaced less frequently.
Climate controls
Zero chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-based refrigerants are used in the building's heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems.
Breathe deeply...
You can because this wood composite is made without formaldehyde (which gives off harmful fumes that can cause breathing problems).
Breathe easier
The paints, adhesives and sealants in this building contain only low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC), reducing odorous or harmful indoor air contaminants.
A fresh idea
Windows that open allow for natural ventilation, improve indoor air quality and eliminate the need for artificial air conditioning.
Lowering the flow
Efficient fixtures such as low-flow faucets reduce water usage by 40%.
We renew
Recycled materials are used throughout the building's interior.
Good wood
We use regionally sourced and rapidly renewable materials, such as Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood.
We're green underneath
The floor you're standing on is elevated above electrical and data cables so we can easily rearrange furniture or equipment without replacing the floor, which saves resources.

Transfer news: Marko Marin seals loan switch from Chelsea to Sevilla
Chelsea have allowed Germany international midfielder Marko Marin to move to Sevilla on a season-long loan.
Last Updated: 29/06/13 6:52am
The 24-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer, during Roberto Di Matteo's tenure, from Werder Bremen for a fee of around £7m.
Compatriot Andre Schurrle's recent arrival from Bayer Leverkusen means Marin has fallen further down the pecking order and he has agreed to move to southern Spain to link up with Sevilla, who finished ninth in the 2012/13 La Liga table.
After moving to west London he quickly suffered a troublesome hamstring injury and had to wait to regain full fitness to make his competitive debut in the 6-0 Capital One Cup home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The German waited even longer to make his first league start for the Blues, with the home derby against Queens Park Rangers in early January ending in a surprise 1-0 defeat.
His first competitive goal for Chelsea followed in February's 4-1 win over Wigan Athletic and he went on to make 16 appearances in total last season.
New boss Jose Mourinho is looking to build a squad to his own requirements and Schurrle was effectively the Portuguese's first acquisition since returning to the Bridge.
More signings are expected following the departures of Ross Turnbull and Hilario and, with Belgian Thibault Courtois on loan at Atletico Madrid for a third successive season, a back-up goalkeeper is required as cover for Petr Cech.
With only youngster Jamal Blackman in place, Chelsea have been linked with Norwich City's England goalkeeper John Ruddy, who spent much of last season out injured with a thigh problem.

Bajamar Hills Costa Rica Inexpensive Ocean View Lots and Homes | Costa Rica Real Estate Properties for Sale
[New Press Release we wrote for a client]
Costa Rica real estate developers launch latest phase of Costa Rica ocean view lot and new home project–Bajamar Hills. This community has many high-end amenities at low prices and with minimal down payments. Additionally, owner financing is available at a mere 7% interest rate fixed.
Bajamar Hills, Costa Rica – January 29, 2012 – An established Costa Rica real estate developer is now launching the most recent part of their current project, Bajamar Hills. Bajamar Hills offers Costa Rica ocean view lots and new homes starting at only $39K with low down payments and owner financing at a fixed 7% interest. This is one of the best deals for Costa Rica property for sale whether you are looking for a Costa Rica home as a personal residence, second home, or investment property.
The Costa Rica Bajamar Hills team believes it is this understatement and over-delivery that has made this project the best deal in Costa Rica real estate. Another factor is likely that these developers add very little markup to their offerings and commit to keeping costs as low as possible so that they can pass off this savings to the customer.
The current phase of the Bajamar Hills community has a pool, pitch-and-putt golf, as well as horseback riding and four-wheeling.
These Costa Rica new homes and lots are about one hour from the San Jose airport, 30 minutes from Jaco, and the beach is a mere 10 minutes away. Yet, the beach is also 200 yards above sea level providing protection and security from storms. Amazingly, the weather in this area is a moderate 70 – 80 degrees 8 – 9 months out of the year.
It bears repeating that the purchase terms for these Bajamar Hills ocean view lots and homes are amazing. The Developers will finance all non-cash purchases themselves with only 25% down and 7% fixed interest.
Taking all of this into account, the developers expect Bajamar Hills Costa Rica to be one of their most successful ventures to date. Says Mike:

Mary, who in most records was listed as Polly, was born in England in 1869 to William Blincow and Betsy Wikes Howe. She immigrated in 1872 and she and her family moved to Nebraska, soon thereafter.
Polly married a York, Nebraska, neighbor, George Blackmore, in 1887. They had eight children, including 5 boys (Henry, Harold, Leonard, George and Clifford) and 3 girls (Ada, Mattie and Reba), born between 1888 and 1904. Two of their boys died young: one as an infant (Leonard) and one at age 10 (Henry Irvin).
This Blackmore family lived in Nebraska until at least 1891. Then by 1893 they lived in Colby County, Kansas. By 1895 they were in Colorado and lived in Granite and Rifle.
Polly died in 1951, two years after George. She was buried in the Rose Hill Cemetery, in Rifle, Colorado, next to her husband.

Offshore funds commonly use independent directors to ensure the fund is being operated in the best interest of the investors. In today's global environment the major issue is the quality of the corporate governance, so having the right independent director is crucial.
SCG can provide highly qualified Cayman Islands based independent directors to serve as fund board members. The directors can act for companies formed anywhere in the world subject to jurisdictional requirements.
Our independent directors are experienced and qualified professionals who work with hedge funds and other types of investment companies providing independent directorship. Our directors have acted for some of the most respected names in the hedge funds industry as well as serving as directors for subsidiaries for some of the largest U.S. mutual funds and other clients.
Our independent directors only sit on a limited number of appointments to devote the necessary time to the affairs of the fund. This ensures the directors prompt attention to any matters that arise.
We would be delighted to provide you with a detailed proposal for our independent director services.
Other services include:
• Corporate Governance
• Company Secretary
• Nominee Shareholder
• Physical Office Services
• Provision of Employees
• Principal Office with ".ky" domain & email
Contact us for more details.
What is a director in a fund context?
The basic function of the board of directors is to oversee the business and activities of the company at a high level. The company has legal personality separate from the shareholders and crucial to this separation are the board of directors, who are ultimately responsible for the management of the business in accordance with rules detailed in the memorandum and articles of association but also the provisions of company law and other laws in the jurisdiction in which it is established.
Non-Executive, Executive and Independent
Executive directors are full-time employees involved in the day-to-day management of the company. However, would normally have non-executive directors who are not required to dedicate their entire time to the company. It should be noted that there is no legal distinction between executive and non-executive directors. Non-executive directors have the same legal duties, responsibilities and potential liabilities as executive directors and they are required to dedicate the necessary time to each of their appointments.
An "independent" director is one who is independent of management and free from any business or other relationships which could significantly interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of the company or investors.
Duties of Directors
Whether executive or non-executive or independent, all directors have the same duties.
In the Cayman Islands as an example being one of the most popular jurisdictions to establish an offshore hedge fund, the Companies Law in the Caymans has developed under the principles of English common law.
In the Cayman Islands the duties of a director fall into two broad groups:
• the duties of loyalty, honesty and good faith (or "fiduciary" duties), and
• the duties of care, skill and diligence.
These duties exist to protect shareholders (and creditors in some cases) so that the company is operated in a proper business like manner so that the rights of each of the shareholders are not disregarded by those charged with the management of the Company.
Directors have a fiduciary relationship with the company that encompasses the concept of trust and confidence – a fiduciary is expected to put the interests of those he is acting for ahead of his own, to avoid any semblance of conflict of interest.

A fjord (pronounced Fih-jord (not to be confused with Fnord)) is the collective name for a group of man-made sea passages that connect the sea to places really, really far inland that would otherwise be far away from the sea (e.g. Leeds, England) . It is also worth noting that Fjord is also a popular male name in both Norway and Iceland as well as being a Faroese car company.
History of the Fjord[edit]
Documented history of the fjord is vague but it is believed fjords were first invented by the Norwegians in the 15th Century to get food to small villages in and around Hordaland by boat that would otherwise involve a fortnights trek across treacherous wolf infested mountains. These fjords are often very deep (often up to 13,000ft deep) as they were later deepened to help harbour large oil tankers that would otherwise be stuck in ice around the Norwegian or Barents seas.
Norway's national sport (building tunnels) has prevailed in modern times but before the 1470's, modern tunneling techniques were not up to the present standard and the mountains of Norway were believed to be up to a third higher prior to erosion. This makes it very difficult for Norwegians to travel, hence the reason some people are still trapped in the Arctic Circle and forced to live a Bronze Age existence in the 21st Century. It is for this reason that all fjords around the world are found where it is mountainous, otherwise locals would have saved time and money by building a road or a canal instead.
If you ask anyone from Nepal, they will tell you that building a road over a mountain is fairly difficult and tunnels are even more difficult, especially when the horse pulling the cart is often afraid of the dark. However, the Bay of Bengal, the large entrance to the proposed Himalayan Fjord is still in the early stages of construction and once the Ganges is dug out along with the rest of Bangladesh, it is thought that ships will be able to provide food and various assorted essentials to Kathmandu by 2075. Blah
Building Fjords[edit]
The first step to building a fjord is creating a long dry valley, often with a large dam at the front to stop the sea pouring in as apparently it is very difficult to operate a JCB underwater. Masses of rock are then blown away by big burly Scandinavians with explosives, creating steep sided road cuttings on either side of the valley. An estimated 128,600,000 tonnes of dynamite were required to create Sognefjord, the longest fjord in Norway which took no less than 76 years to blast its 126 miles of inland valley.
In Norway, most rock that has been removed now forms kitchen worktops found around millions of homes worldwide (the blue sparkly granitey-type stuff that mums like). Once the valley has been created, all dangerous animals are allowed into the fjord before the dam is blown up, flooding the fjord which can often take several weeks for the sea to fill up properly.
Geomorphologists also believe that various large fish such as salmon eat away at the rocks to create natural shelters from the freezing open sea. This theory was developed to explain all of the little mini fjords (fjordlets) that often branch off from the main fjord channel.
Scandinavians find it difficult to understand why people travel thousands of miles to visit Norway just to look at such a crude transport network. Despite the country's exciting culture and oil industry museum in Stavanger, many would rather visit the bleak rain soaked fjords. One community at Lysefjord has successfully made a fortune after someone dropped a big boulder down a crack where many a tourist can be found taking photos of idiots falling off into the giant chasm below.
Places that still use the Fjord transport system:

Honestly still uninterested about them, but being grateful about Arvon in Devon - practically the garden and the store-room of England - to show me the other side of British cuisine, the one I've hoped to be existed.
On a hidden shelf of the Cheese shop I've just found the most valuable piece of the day, a local community edited cookbook: Devon on the plate. A selection of fantastic recipes made upon local ingredients, seasonal tips and not boring at all. Some serious inspiration follows.
They proved to me that all my previous preconceptions can be challenged. I wouldn't say they are not true, since a lot more onsight research still needed, but for the moment I'm trully convinced about the opposite. At least for 2 or 3 more days, I can't resist, I'm curious...
Ingredients ( for 4 persons)
500g fresh mackerel fillet
1 lemon, 1 lime, 1 orange
1 whole chili pepper - (the one you better like)finely chopped
1 ts of soft brown sugar
pinch of salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tbs fresh coriander or parsley, rough chopped
200ml apple cider
6 gelatin sheet
First start with the cider jelly, that needs a little bit more time. Heat up the cider, till hand warm. Prepare the gelatin sheets according to it's own preparation instructions then add to the cider. Pour the mixture on a plastic tray - preferably the jelly should be 1-1,5 cm tall, and let it cool and become gelatinous firm.
This beautiful dish brings into light the quintessential freshness of fish. The fruit juices perform delightfully on the plate asking for more on the plate or whatever follows.

Length of dresses can sometimes be discussed, I mean I love my mini's but sometimes there's a very tiny line between a dress or top, like this silk top I got last week labeled "dress" in store. With my 5ft 8in the dress didn't cover enough for me to be comfortable wearing it like a normal mini, especially cause of the light fabric. When something is as mini as this my "trick" is to wear it with cropped leggings, and voila, any wind throw or bending situation solved.
I wore this on a super hot day this week, silk dress from Topshop Boutique, loafers by Acne, watch Michael Kors, bracelet Cooee, bag Celine and Ray Ban's.

The auditor's report on the financial statements of

the responsibility for issuing an audit report
based, in part, on work performed by one or more
secondary auditors. The primary auditor may or

initiated by either the primary auditor or the management
of the company. The secondary auditor's
work may be a complete examination in accord
with generally accepted auditing standards or it
may involve only specified and limited procedures.
For example, the secondary auditor may be employed
to audit an autonomously operated subsidiary
company, or he may be employed merely to
observe the taking of a physical inventory.
In most cases the accounts audited by the secondary
auditor will be combined or consolidated
with the accounts audited by the primary auditor,
and the financial statements audited by the secondary
auditor will not appear separately in the

auditor is employed to verify specific accounts at
distant locations, or to audit a consolidated subsidiary

the secondary auditor may be employed to audit
the accounts of an unconsolidated subsidiary, in
which case the financial statements of that subsidiary

For 50 years, women have been exchanging botanical information and kindling new friendships along the way through the Bluffton Gardeners Club.
As the first president, the late Martha Crapse created a social atmosphere focused on beautifying Old Town Bluffton. Once as a quaint town, the Bluffton Gardeners tried their best to grow flowers near the two town signs, but there was no way of watering the plants, Diane Stortz remembers.
Stortz joined the club 17 years ago after relocating to the area.
"One of my friends on the island who had moved a few years earlier than me said that if you were invited to join the Bluffton Gardeners, you were of high social being," Stortz said.
The group of about 40 women focuses more on the social aspect and less on gardening tips. But for newly named president, Louise Hall learning more about how to enhance her garden is why she joined.
A resident of Rose Hill, Hall joined the Bluffton Gardeners after her neighborhood's garden club stopped meeting.
"I wanted to learn about plants and what grows best. I had a suspicion about all the women in Old Town Bluffton knew the secrets of growing locally," Hall said.
The club meets on the second Monday of each month except during the summer months of June, July and August. It welcomes any new members and has a handful of Sun City women who branched out to join.
"I wanted to meet more people outside of Sun City," Margret Maloney said. "I've enjoyed the social atmosphere, because I don't live in the Lowcountry during the planting season I enjoy more the general plant knowledge given."
Maloney was invited by Crapse and felt honored to become a part of the large group of knowledgeable women.
Sun City resident Rosemary Healey was inducted at the annual Bluffton Gardeners picnic as the other president. She joined after Stortz asked her to attend a monthly meeting.
"I thoroughly enjoy the women. Most retirees in the community are from the North and it was truly a pleasure to meet such southern women who welcomed me and gives great advice for gardening native plants," Healey said.
Between their social events and gardening tours, the women also give back to community by filling stockings for children with deployed military parents and collecting canned goods for local food banks.
"We don't see each other a lot, but when we meet there is always new ideas circulating and trips being planned," Stortz said. "I've enjoyed the small group setting and getting to know the locals and the history of Bluffton that not a lot of people get the opportunity to do."
What: Bluffton Gardeners Club
Cost: Currently, the annual dues are $15.
Details: To join, call Rosemary Healey at 705-5192 or Louise Hall at 757-5345.

Sci-Fi Looking Residence With Bridge Access in Australia: Stamp House
Our idea of a comfy home is generally not correlated with massive space-ships. Probably why this star-shaped contemporary residence developed by Charles Wright Architects on the edge of the FNQ beachfront rainforest in Astralia made an impression. According to the architects, the aim of the project was "not to simply produce an engineered outcome but produce a building which made the most of the sites natural amenity and re-introduced the surrounding native wetland environment. The building is literally reflected by way of its siting over an engineered water ecosystem which was the result of lengthy liaison & collaboration with National Parks, Environmental Agencies, State and Local Government".
The cantilevered shape of the Stamp House (initially discovered by Freshome on Arch Daily) is a creative method of mitigating impact from potential flooding. The entire building was constructing by using a combination of in-situ and precast concrete. Solar panels on the roof provide a comfortable temperature all year long.

Question: My pup was responding well to our recall training at the park, getting reinforced with high-value treats like meatballs and behaving in a way that made us so proud. That all changed when a sweet elderly man at the park starting giving all the dogs Milk-Bones. Not only did our dog fail to come when called while he was feeding her, for the next couple of weeks, she rarely came when we called her in other contexts. My question is about how dogs learn and what makes their training seem to fall apart? What can I do to prevent such setbacks in the future, and how can I know when our dog has really "gotten it" so that I can be sure she will come, no matter what?
Answer: Most people have experienced some variant of what you describe, and these setbacks can be very disheartening. The situation at the park was not so much one in which a dog's training fell apart as it was one in which a dog was asked to do something that she had not yet been trained to do. Responding appropriately to the cue to come to you when there is nothing particularly new or interesting to distract her is totally different than returning to you when someone else is feeding her treats.
What you learned courtesy of the treat man at the park is that your dog does not know how to come when called while she was getting treats from somebody else. Furthermore, she seems to have learned that even when called, she doesn't have to come, which may explain why her recall got worse (let's not say "fell apart"!) and why she did not come when called even in other situations.
The real secret to dog training is that there are 100 steps involved in teaching a dog something so that she can do it in any situation. Step one for teaching recall may be calling your dog to come from five feet away in your living room, with nothing else going on but you and your meatballs, and step 100 is calling your dog to come when she is 500 feet away, chasing a deer. Many people charge from step five to step 95 without realizing what a challenge this is for a dog. This is the equivalent of asking a student to go from addition and subtraction to reinventing calculus, figuring that the student already knows how to do math, so what's the problem?
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
Teaching a dog what a cue means is often the easiest part. Proofing the dog to that cue, or getting the dog to respond to that cue in all situations, is the challenge. Just because your dog knows how to come when called when nothing else has captivated her attention doesn't mean that she can do it when she is really enthralled by the smell of a rabbit, the food she is eating or her best play buddy. Training your dog to come away from these distractions requires that you train her to do so in a series of steps of gradually increasing difficulty.
Avoiding setbacks by not skipping steps is a challenge that requires great discipline on your part. The key is that throughout your training work with her, you must not call your dog unless you are confident that she will respond. For example, if you had never trained her to come when called away from someone giving her food, most trainers would tell you that the odds of success were not in your favor. A wiser course of action would have been to simply go get your dog. Of course, this is not convenient and requires only letting your dog off-leash in areas where you can go get her if she doesn't come, but it is only temporary.
When you call a dog to come and she doesn't respond, how you handle the situation is important for your future success with this cue. If you do nothing, or if you keep calling her over and over, you are teaching her not to respond unless she feels like it. Either she learns that she doesn't have to come because there is no consequence for not coming, or she learns to tune out the "come" cue; it becomes background noise and loses its meaning to her.
One possible response is to go up to her, show her the meatball treat she could have had, and then walk away. Another is to take her out of the park so she learns that if she does not respond, she does not get to stay at the park.
A third possibility is to immediately set up a similar situation as a training opportunity. Put the meatball right up to her nose, move a few feet away and call her to come. Lure her with the treat if necessary—anything to get her to come away from the food the man is giving her, and then reinforce her for doing so. Then, allow her to go back to the treat man to get whatever he has. Allowing your dog to get both reinforcement from you and what she gave up in order to come to you makes responding to your cue a winning situation all around. Setting up winning situations for your dog over and over again in all sorts of contexts is what proofing a dog for a cue is all about.
During training, have something better than what she gave up so she learns that coming to you is always worthwhile. This means that if someone is giving her liver biscotti, you give her chicken. If they are giving her a lot of nice petting attention, you give her a belly rub. If they are luring her with an ordinary ball, you reinforce her with a super bouncy ball.
In terms of your question about dogs really "getting it"—it's hard to know for sure that your dog is proofed to respond to a cue in any situation if you have not explicitly practiced and trained her to handle a variety of environments. That said, the more situations and types of distractions in which your dog has learned to respond to the cue, the more likely it is she will respond appropriately in a novel context. Eventually, all situations are sufficiently similar that she can be said to be "fully proofed" for a particular cue. Some dogs get there faster than others, but for virtually every dog, it takes a lot of practice in a wide range of situations involving different places, with different distractions and from different distances.
For more information about canine learning, the best book on the subject is Excel-erated Learning: Explaining in Plain English How Dogs Learn and How Best to Teach Them by Pamela J. Reid, PhD. For specific advice on teaching a reliable recall to your dog, the best resource is the video Lassie Come! by Patricia B. McConnell, PhD.

Help your children (and yourself) maintain a healthy attitude toward food and fitness.
Expert Q&As
Q. My son comes home from school and heads straight for the sofa—and video games. How can I get him to be more active?
A. Set a one- to two-hour daily limit on TV, computer, and video game time (studies have linked these activities to weight gain), and make physical activity a family priority, suggests Sandra Hassink, M.D., editor of A Parent's Guide to Childhood Obesity (American Academy of Pediatrics). Structure your weekends around outings, such as hikes, bike rides, and trips to a state park, to get your son used to the idea that fitness can be fun. Take advantage of what your community has to offer by joining the local YMCA, and team up with neighborhood parents to organize softball games, soccer matches, and ultimate Frisbee tournaments. If your son doesn't like the pressure of team sports, encourage him to try other activities, such as swimming, karate, or track. Even extracurriculars that don't seem particularly strenuous, like playing in the marching band or taking part in a school play, are much better than sitting on the couch, says Dr. Hassink.
Q. My daughter has put on some extra pounds. What should I do?
A. "In puberty, kids sometimes gain weight right before a major growth spurt, so it may be temporary," says Julie Lumeng, M.D., research investigator at the Center for Human Growth and Development at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Make an appointment with her pediatrician so he can determine whether the extra pounds put her health at risk. If the doctor decides that she should indeed lose weight, give the whole family a nutrition makeover instead of singling her out.
The dinner table is a great place to start developing wholesome behavior. "Eating meals together is the number one way to teach your child healthy eating habits," says Rallie McAllister, M.D., author of Healthy Lunchbox: The Working Mom's Guide to Keeping You and Your Kids Trim (Lifeline Press). Include lean meats (like turkey burgers and barbecued chicken), fruits and veggies, whole-grain breads, and low-fat and nonfat dairy products. Bring your kids to the grocery store so they can pick out healthy foods that they like—so they'll actually eat them. When you get home, have the kids divide up snacks—like pretzels, raisins, and dried fruits—into single-serving plastic bags for a quick course in portion control.

Q. My teenage son is constantly complaining about being smaller than his friends and wants to start weight lifting. Is it safe?
A. "Strength training is not only safe for adolescents, it can also lay the groundwork for a healthy lifestyle," says Lyle Micheli, M.D., director of the Division of Sports Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston. Kids as young as 8 years old can safely use light weights with supervision. But before your teen dusts off the barbells in the basement, Dr. Micheli recommends signing him up for one or two sessions with a trainer to develop a safe program that's appropriate for his age and fitness level. Improper lifting and overdoing it can cause injury, so make sure he follows the trainer's recommendations and rests for at least a day between workouts. If he lifts more than two or three times per week, seems obsessed with body image, starts skipping favorite activities to work out, or you suspect he is taking performance-enhancing supplements, ask him why he's so fixated on weight training and talk to his doctor.
Q. Whenever I go on a diet, my daughter wants to do the same. The problem is, she doesn't need to lose weight—she's already too thin. What should I do?
A. In a Penn State University study, researchers found that weight-conscious moms were more likely to raise daughters with dangerous eating habits. Keep your teenager healthy by ditching the word "diet," which sends the message that making smart food choices means you have to deprive yourself, says Dr. McAllister. Explain to your daughter that you need to slim down primarily for health reasons, and you're going to do that by switching to more nutritious versions of your favorite foods (frozen yogurt instead of ice cream; carrots and hummus instead of chips and dip; flavored seltzer instead of sugary soda and fruit juice, for example). Don't rely on quick-fix diets that promise fast results; chances are they won't be successful in the long term, and you'll be teaching your daughter that being thin is more important than being healthy.
Q. I often overhear my daughter and her friends (all of whom are fairly thin) discussing dieting. Should I be worried?
A. Possibly. "Create a dialogue about weight with your daughter to determine whether you need to be concerned," says Dr. Hassink. Use pop culture as a conversation starter. Grab a celebrity magazine and flip through it together as you discuss whether the stars you see look healthy. Then bring the discussion back to her—is she concerned about her own body? If so, ask her why, and tell her you think she looks great. Explain the difference between a healthy lifestyle, which includes a variety of good-for-you foods, and a restrictive diet. If she still seems preoccupied with her appearance or you notice unusual eating habits (see "Eating Disorder Red Flags" on the next page), make an appointment with her pediatrician.
Red Flags and Taboos
Eating Disorder Red Flags
More than 8 million Americans suffer from eating disorders, many of which develop in adolescence, says Marlene Schwartz, Ph.D., codirector of the Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders. "Parents need to watch their kids for signs of a problem." If you notice any of the following red flags, make an appointment with your child's doctor:
- Skips meals, makes excuses for not eating or eats very little.
- Food disappears from the kitchen, or you find hidden treats or used wrappers.
- Completely avoids "unhealthy" foods, even as a special treat (like cake at a party), or obsesses over calories or nutrition facts.
- Leaves the table immediately after meals to purge in the bathroom or runs the shower at odd times. Red eyes and frequent sore throats can also indicate forced vomiting.
Kitchen Table Taboos
Forget old-school phrases that your mom used to say to entice you to eat those veggies. Dr. McAllister explains why.
- "Clean your plate." Forcing your children to finish everything may teach them to ignore their own hunger and satiety signals.
- "If you have a snack, you'll spoil your dinner." Providing fruits, veggies, and yogurt for snack options will help your kids get essential nutrients.
- "Eat your broccoli so you can have ice cream." Using dessert as a reward sets your kids up for a lifetime of overeating because it makes them associate feelings of acceptance, approval, and comfort with food.

Here's a re-post from our REA Approved Blog! We thought it'd be worth it to share it here too:
4/6 – It's hard to escape the frenzy of the new season of Mad Men. The captivating ads are plastered everywhere; the talk around the water cooler about the future of Don Draper is plentiful. Not to mention retailers like Banana Republic are jumping on the band wagon by showcasing Mad Men inspired fashions in their windows. I have to say, I love it all. The visual style is breathtaking and inspiring and seems to be showing up on my radar everywhere I go.
A few weeks ago I attended a field trip with my son Andrew to the New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn, which ended up being another unexpected time warp back to the 1960′s. The tour of the old subway cars was interesting in itself, but when I looked up to see pristine ads from the period, I was in heaven. From the 2012 Madmen to those of the 1960′s: I say thank you. You have left an undeniable mark on the advertising business, and a visual style to be cherished, studied and re-examined. -M.G.

Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) Legislator Hsu Chung-hsin (許忠信) on Sunday accused the National Palace Museum (NPM) of putting the country's national treasures at great risk by entrusting a Chinese corporation with the manufacturing of replicas of historically significant coins.
Hsu said Shanghai-based Yuanquan Coin Co is among a list of 21 companies commissioned by the museum this year to manufacture reproductions of its collections of paintings, porcelain, and cultural artifacts made of glass, jade and precious metals.
After winning the contract, Hsu said Yuanquan posted an announcement on its official Web site that read: "On Nov. 9, 2012, the Royal Palace International Culture Co [Yuanquan's parent company] was entrusted by Taipei's National Palace Museum to duplicate its artifacts, becoming one of the few companies in the precious metal arts industry to be granted such authorization."
"The announcement went on to say that all of the more than 240,000 items housed in Taipei's museum were carefully selected from the collections of Beijing's Palace Museum to prevent them from being damaged during the War of Liberation [the Chinese civil war]," Hsu said.
After losing the civil war in 1949, the then-Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) government took most of the best artifacts from Beijing — totaling about 650,000 pieces — and took them to Taipei.
Hsu said Yuanquan was founded in 1995 under the umbrella of Royal Palace, a conglomerate that enjoys cozy ties with several Chinese financial services companies and is in charge of manufacturing commemorative coins for China's central bank, the People's Bank of China.
"Given Royal Palace's business background, the museum's move to delegate reproduction works of our national treasures to Yuanquan is like 'throwing a sheep directly into a tiger's mouth,' as there is a good chance that the Chinese company might secretly swap the coins with undetectable counterfeits," Hsu said.
The laws stipulate that the copyrights of the museum's cultural artifacts belong to the country and that duplicating the items without authorization is prohibited, Hsu said, urging the museum to terminate its contracts with Yuanquan immediately to ensure the safety of the national heirlooms.
Separately on Sunday, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍), Cheng Li-chun (鄭麗君) and Chen Ting-fei (陳亭妃) threatened to boycott the legislature's Education and Culture Committee's review of the museum's budget proposal for the next fiscal year, which began yesterday, unless the museum stops entrusting its Staff Consumer Cooperative with the management of its store and restaurant services.
The cooperative has been at the center of a longstanding controversy involving the museum, which has been accused of feathering its own nest by manipulating open tenders for the operation and management of the services in order to let the cooperative win.
As a result, the cooperative has been put in charge of the services since July 2001 and its members received part of the profits that were generated not directly because of them until 2008 in violation of the Cooperatives Act (合作社法), according to a correction order the Control Yuan issued to the museum in February.
The legislature's Budget Center also criticized the museum in an evaluation report of its budget proposal for next year, in which it accused the museum of turning a deaf ear to the committee's repeated calls for it to refrain from pocketing profits from sales of products related to its collections ─ which have to be returned to the nation's Treasury as required by the law ─ by means of entrusting the cooperative with the services.

No. 79,541
A request for admissions under K.S.A. 61-1712, unlike K.S.A. 60-236, is limited to admissions involving factual matters and genuineness of relevant documents.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; RICHARD T. BALLINGER, judge. Opinion filed August 28, 1998. Affirmed.
W. Thomas Gilman, Redmond & Nazar, L.L.P., of Wichita, and Matthew C. Hesse, associate general counsel of Via Christi Regional Medical Center, for appellant.
No appearance for appellee.
Before GREEN, P.J., ELLIOTT and KNUDSON, JJ.
GREEN, J.: Via Christi Regional Medical Center (Via Christi) sued Mark A. Ayalla and his alleged wife, Mary E. Ayalla, for unpaid medical services furnished to them. The trial court granted Via Christi a default judgment against Mark for $3,760.35. In addition, the trial court granted Via Christi a judgment against Mary for $50. On appeal, Via Christi contends that the trial court erred in failing to grant an additional judgment against Mary for $3,710.35, representing the amount of unpaid medical services furnished to Mark. Via Christi maintains that Mary was responsible for the costs of Mark's medical services under the doctrine of necessaries. We disagree and affirm.
In its petition, Via Christi alleged that Mark and Mary were husband and wife and requested a judgment against Mark and Mary, jointly and severally, for unpaid medical services in the amount of $3,760.35 In advance of trial, Via Christi sent Mary a request for admissions. Mary failed to respond to the request for admissions.
On the date of trial, Mary appeared pro se. Via Christi based its case on the unanswered request for admissions. Mary testified that she was not married to Mark at the time that he received medical treatment and that they were not living together at the time. Mary further testified that she and Mark had lived together for a period after he received the medical treatment but had since split up. Mary testified that she was legally married to someone else. She emphasized that she did not sign the hospital admission forms as Mark's wife. Via Christi conceded that it did not have forms signed by Mary indicating that she was Mark's wife. In response to questions from the trial court, counsel for Via Christi stated that the balance due for medical costs rendered to Mary was only $50.
On appeal, Via Christi argues that the trial court abused its discretion in failing to deem admitted the unanswered request for admissions. Because Via Christi filed this suit as a limited action, its request for admissions is controlled by K.S.A. 61-1712, which provides:
"(a) After commencement of an action and the date provided in the summons for the defendant to answer or appear, where the defendant has not filed an answer, or the answer constitutes a general denial, the plaintiff in such action may submit to the defendant a written request for the admission by the latter of (1) the genuineness of any relevant documents described in and exhibited with the request or (2) the truth of any relevant matters of fact set forth in the request. Copies of the documents shall be served with the request unless copies have already been furnished. Such request for admissions shall be in a form which will permit the defendant to answer the questions thereon under oath. Any such request for admissions shall be served not less than twenty (20) days before the date set for trial of such action. The relevant facts or documents inquired into by such request shall be limited to ten (10) in number, unless permission of the judge is obtained to extend such number.
"(b) Each of the matters of which an admission is requested shall be deemed admitted unless, within ten (10) days after service thereof, the defendant serves upon the plaintiff either (1) a sworn statement denying specifically the matters of which an admission is requested or setting forth in detail the reasons why he or she cannot truthfully admit or deny those matters or (2) written objections on the ground that some or all of the requested admissions are privileged or irrelevant or that the request is otherwise improper in whole or in part, together with a notice of hearing the objections at the earliest practicable time."
Via Christi's request for admissions provided:
1. That the documents attached hereto marked as 'Exhibits 2, 3 and 4' are true, correct, complete and genuine copies of the billing statements prepared and maintained by St. Joseph Medical Center, in Wichita, Kansas in its regular course of business.
. . . .
2. That you were admitted to Via Christi Regional Medical Center, St. Joseph Medical Campus on November 21, 1995 and received medical care and treatment.
. . . .
3. That the medical care and treatment described in Exhibit 2 attached hereto and paragraph 2, above, was medically necessary.
. . . .
4. That $50.00 remains due for the medical care and treatment described in Exhibit 2 attached hereto and paragraph 2, above, and said amount is fair and reasonable.
. . . .
5. That your husband, Mark Ayalla, received medical services at St. Joseph Medical Center on April 21, 1995.
. . . .
6. That the medical care and treatment described in Exhibits 2, 3 and 4 attached hereto and paragraph 2, above were medically necessary.
. . . .
7. That $3,710.35 remains due for the medical care and treatment described in Exhibits 2, 3 and 4 attached hereto and paragraph 2, above and said amount is fair and reasonable.
. . . .
8. That you are liable to St. Joseph Medical Center in the principal amount of $3,760.35 in consideration of the medical [care] and treatment administered by Via Christi Regional Medical Center, St. Joseph Campus as outlined in Exhibit 1 and described in Exhibits 2, 3 and 4 attached hereto and paragraph 2, above." (Emphasis added.)
Although request for admissions 1 through 7 deal with factual matters and the genuineness of documents, the final request for admission seeks a legal conclusion. As set out earlier, a request for admissions under K.S.A. 61-1712 is limited to admissions regarding the genuineness of relevant documents and the truth of relevant matters of fact. On the other hand, K.S.A. 60-236, the Chapter 60 counterpart to K.S.A. 61-1712, allows a party to request an admission even if it presents a genuine issue for trial. For example, "[t]he request need not be limited to admissions of fact but may ask for admissions with respect to matters of opinion and the application of the law to the facts." 1 Gard's Kansas C. Civ. Proc. 3d Annot. § 60-236, Commentary, p. 245 (1997). To the contrary, K.S.A. 61-1712 is more limited than K.S.A. 60-236. Because K.S.A. 61-1712 is limited to the genuineness of relevant documents and to the truth of relevant matters of fact, Via Christi's request for a legal conclusion under request for admission 8 will not be considered in our analysis.
Via Christi argues that if the matters contained in its request for admissions are taken as true, the trial court was required to find that Mary was married to Mark at the time he received the medical treatment. Via Christi maintains that this fact is proven by request for admission 5. We disagree. The problem with this request is that it involves a compound admission. First, it states that Mark is Mary's husband. Second, it states that Mark received medical services at St. Joseph Medical Center on April 21, 1995. Even assuming that both of these statements are true, the request for admission fails to show that Mary was married to Mark at the time the medical services were provided to him. As a result, the trial court acted reasonably in denying Via Christi's request for judgment based on its request for admissions.
Next, Via Christi argues that there was insufficient evidence to support the trial court's conclusion that Mary was not married to Mark at the time he received treatment. "Where the trial court has made findings of fact and conclusions of law, the function of an appellate court is to determine whether the findings are supported by substantial competent evidence and whether the findings are sufficient to support the trial court's conclusions of law." Tucker v. Hugoton Energy Corp., 253 Kan. 373, 377, 855 P.2d 929 (1993).
Significantly, at trial, Mary testified that she was not married to Mark at the time the medical services were provided. In addition, Via Christi offered no evidence demonstrating that Mark and Mary were married when the medical services were rendered. Clearly, Via Christi failed in its burden of proof. Thus, the trial court's conclusion that Mary was not liable for services rendered to Mark was supported by substantial competent evidence.
