Mason Pearson
Mason Pearson Detangler Comb
- Overview
- Features
- Measures 8'' long by 1.75'' wide.
- Each tooth is highly polished to eliminate any rough edges
- Ends of the teeth are rounded
- Handmade in Switzerland
- Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects
- Made to the same exacting standards to which their brushes are produced
- Mason Pearson combs come from Mazzucchelli, the premiere manufacturer in Europe located in Italy. Less expensive comb can damage the hair, because the surface of the teeth have barbs that can catch and pull the hair strand causing split ends and breakage.
- About the brand
The handmade Mason Pearson Detangling Comb is designed to thoroughly separate and un-kink the hair, allowing you to brush and style with ease. Each comb is handmade, producing a smooth, tapered edge that glides easily through the hair with less pulling and tugging.
The king of all hair brushes, Mason Pearson has a lengthy history in brush making, incorporating the company's original 1885 design into today's handmade creations. According to Mason Pearson, hair brushing is vital to hair health, massaging the scalp to stimulate hair growth and disperse oils evenly for extra shine. Fans like celeb stylists Ken Paves and Mark Townsend swear by Mason Pearson brushes. Trust us, it's worth the investment.
Love This Comb!I have curly hair and getting more so in my "mature" years. I use this comb to de-tangle after my wash. Once it is dry, I use the Cricket Ultra Smooth Argan & Olive Oil Conditioning Comb to tame the fuzziness. I am dumping my other hair tools!May 5, 2014Joann / United StatesHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Wow!I did not know that a comb would make such an amazing difference. Have long, thick, wavy hair and have always combed it out after washing, The first time I used this comb it slid through my hair with ease....and quietly. No noise of hair tearing. I think my hair will even be thicker now as I will be having less hair damage. Thank you.Apr 16, 2013SHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Strong, Effective CombI have naturally wavy hair that tangles really easily. I know it's better to comb your hair when it's wet versus brush but I have never been able to find a comb that actually detangles my hair and doesn't rip it out. This comb finally did that for me. I was able to easily comb it out and the comb was sturdy and painless.Mar 20, 2013Erin

The Four Corners Behavioral Health is required by law to have a public hearing each year to evaluate services in Emery County. The public hearing is held in conjunction with the county commission meeting.
Commissioner Gary Kofford is the commissioner assigned to Four Corners for the county and is part of the board of directors. Jan Bodily is the director of Four Corners and Glen Johnson is the chairman of the board.
The hearing was opened up to public comments. One citizen said he lost his wife last year to mental health related issues. He thinks the state of Utah could go a long way in helping those with mental health problems. With physical health it seems he stated there is more help. In light of the school and university shootings, some serious attention needs to be given to mental health issues and problems. The state needs to do more to help people who can't afford help, he stated.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon spoke next, he thanked Jennifer Thomas and her staff for their help to the sheriff's office. They are very supportive of drug court. Sheriff Guymon says his one complaint is trying to get after hours care. The sheriff's office responds to cases with mental health patients at all hours and picks them up, but then the question is what do they do with them. The jail isn't the best place for these people.
Sheriff Guymon said it often takes 15 phone calls to finally get a hold of some guy from Price who says there's nothing they can do. "They need to get out of our facility where they can get some help. If they're drunk then nobody wants to take them until they are sober. They might be drunk, but they still have mental health issues. Many of our mental health problems come off of I-70 and are not from our area," said Sheriff Guymon. He asked for help on these after hour problems.
Commissioner Kofford said one major problem for Four Corners is funding. There aren't adequate funds to take care of all the needs. At one time, Medicaid monies could be used for help in the private sector, but that money went away. There isn't much money available to treat the public. There are a lot of holes in the system, if a patient doesn't fit in one particular slot, they can't get help.
Kofford said one wish list item he has would be adequate funding to work with those in the jail. The county jail doesn't have the resources or the training to get counseling for those in jail.
There is also no help for people without insurance. Kofford said he would like to look at ways to address those issues. The legislature is working on health insurance this session.
Kofford said this January began Bodily's second year with Four Corners and she has a relatively new staff as well. Kofford encouraged Four Corners to take a look at Sheriff Guymon's concerns.
Another citizen spoke saying that the Peer Helpers program is a part of Four Corners for drug prevention and she wondered if this program could be expanded to educate the youth on mental health issues as well. She said people need to be better educated on mental health. Some people view those people with mental health issues as being, "nuts," but this is inaccurate and an education program needs to take place to help the average person understand mental health issues better.
Glen Johnson, chairman, thanked the county commission for their help. "Four Corners would struggle without your support. If you look at Trolley Square, Virginia Tech, Illinois, and the Crandall Canyon mine. Every time something happens we are educated a little bit. Jan is really on top of things and she has a great staff. Citizens do not understand mental health. These problems used to be ignored, but they need to be addressed.
We also have a challenge with Castleview Hospital and how they handle mental health cases and drug overdoses. It has not been handled well. We have a doctor on the board of directors now and we hope to help them to understand behavioral health more.
Another citizen thanked Four Corners for their help with his son. He said without them his son would probably be in jail by now. His son is mentally ill, bipolar with grandiose. The prisons are full of mentally ill people who shouldn't be there he said.
Sheriff Guymon said they deal with the mentally ill on almost a daily basis and there is little the sheriff's office can do to help these people. He thinks it boils down to money. Four Corners doesn't have the resources they need to take care of everyone.
Sheriff Guymon said the sheriff's office does the best they can, but these patients don't need to be in jail. They need medicine and a diagnosis. Often times the deputies have taken someone in to be evaluated at the hospital and they have waited for hours for a 15 minute evaluation.
The hospital doesn't receive funding for dealing with these types of patients. It's not clear where the funding needs to come from but it is clear that these patients are falling through the cracks and not getting the help they need. Untreated mental patients pose a threat not only to themselves, but to others.

Life on Campus
Socially Speaking
What happens on a campus designed just for women? With all the clubs (more than 40!), athletics (NJCAA Division II and intramural), performances, and off-campus trips (into town and overseas), there's always something going on. There are dances and celebrations and, yes, opportunities to meet boys too. That's enough to keep you busy when you're not in class, studying, or involved in one of Cottey's many learning and leadership opportunities.
What about guys? >
Clubs & organizations >
Athletics >
And then there are the Cottey traditions - ducks, daisies, duck jackets, Hanging of the Greens, step sing, and more - handed down throughout the years from one class to the next. Some of our traditions go back to the earliest years of the College, others have evolved over time. There's always room for new traditions too!
"Sweet" Suite Life
One of the most unique aspects of life at Cottey is our suite-style living. Each suite is comprised of a central common living room (for movie nights, long conversations, games, and study groups), kitchenette, and a large bathroom. Around this central area are five to six single or double bedrooms. With 10 to 14 women living in each suite. It's the home for the family you build away from home.
While the refrigerator, microwave, and hot plate in the kitchenette means you can prepare your own meals, you're not going to want to miss out on what Chef Michael Richardson is preparing in Raney Dining Room. Ask any of our alumnae and they'll tell you that the food here really is great. Chef Richardson, a former restaurant chef, treats each suite to an annual 5-course gourmet meal and Sunday brunches that are more like feasts. We think you'll be raving about the food here, too.
Life-long Friendships
Ask most women what they love about Cottey and they'll tell you that what they most cherish is the friends they make through all of those experiences listed above. There are relationships that really do last a lifetime.

Bullpen Revelations
Saturday night, Bob Dutton provided us with some tremendous insight into the Royals' bullpen competition. What makes Dutton solid, in my opinion, is his ability to dance along the company line while also providing true glimpses of what the organization is actually thinking. In this case, for those of us love the art of roster construction, this article gives us a number of interesting observations.
First off, for those of you out there that agonize over having a lefty or two, you will be delighted to once more hear confirmation that Ned Yost prefers to have two lefthanders in his bullpen. I have always opted for a good righthander over an average lefthander (although a great lefty is always preferable), but in this case the Royals appear to have the luxury of at least one southpaw who is also likely to be an effective member of the pen: Tim Collins.
After Joakim Soria and Robinson Tejeda (both locks according to The Star's article, by the way), Collins was the next name on most everyone's bullpen projections over the winter. Nothing has happened this spring to change any of that and, despite not currently in ownership of a 40 man roster spot, Tim Collins is now closest thing to a lock in this competition.
Although some commenters here have speculated at various times that Danny Duffy or Blaine Hardy might make the team out of spring training, I have always thought the field was too contested and both too inexperienced to actually get a spot. That, however, was before the zest for a second lefthander became so prevalent.
If Dutton's comments are true insights into the soul of the Royals' organization then this tidbit is rather telling: "The other lefty spot, assuming there is one, shapes up as a battle between Danny Duffy and Blaine Hardy unless the Royals choose to push one of their highly regarding starting prospects into the mix.
Given that I always counted Duffy as one of those 'highly regarding starting prospects', I found that statement rather interesting. Is that a sign that the Royals view Duffy as less of a prospect than Montgomery, Lamb and Dwyer? Did his sabbatical from baseball last spring change the team's perspective of him? Or, is it truly just a way to get Duffy on a different experience level from the other three?
That last question is what Dutton suggests and is also something I have been advocating since last fall (and it wasn't exactly rocket science then!). While the modern philosophy of baseball has moved away from having young starters begin their major league careers as relievers, it seems a good way to get Duffy experience ahead of some of the other prospects and also not expose him to a ton of innings. Remember, Duffy only saw action in 62 regular season innings last year: having him get 80 or 90 big league innings in 2011 might be preferable to 140 in the minors.
In the end, it is not cut and dried that the Royals will actually break camp with two lefty relievers and it is very possible that Blaine Hardy will be the second as opposed to Duffy. If we go with Yost for now, however, then that leaves room for three righthanders behind Soria and Tejeda. By all accounts, Jeremy Jeffress has a solid hold on the first of those spots, which is fine by most anyone who cares about the final few spots in the bullpen of a team that will not contend in 2011.
Right now, the top three contenders for the final two spots are apparently Greg Holland, Kanekoa Texiera and Louis Coleman. The interesting thing about that list is who is not on it: Blake Wood.
After appearing in 51 games for Kansas City last season and finishing strong (18 strikeouts in his last 18 innings), I figured Wood to be a lock to open 2011 in the big league pen. As it turns out, Wood's inability to control the running game is so poor that it could actually keep him off the big league roster. After some major rework at the big league level last year, Wood allowed just three steals in four attempts in August and September – down from six in seven attempts in the month of July. If you put stock in the organization's opinion, that improvement may well have been statistical only. This is one we will definitely have to defer to the 'baseball men'. I think we will see a lot of Wood in 2011, but probably not in April.
The idea that both Holland and Coleman might break camp with the Royals delights me. Both were college draftees picked with the idea that both would be relievers and both would move quickly through the system. There is nothing better than when a plan, or a process, works out.
Holland didn't really impress anyone in a brief trial late last season, but he has a history of initial struggles at each level followed by a long stretch of effectiveness. The guy has 243 strikeouts in 229 minor league innings and could be a valuable middle to late inning reliever if he can harness his control. If anything, it appears Holland might have been throwing 'too hard' last year and has been much more accurate this spring.
Coleman has simply gotten people out at every level in his quite brief professional career and has continued to do so this spring. Getting back to my 'spread the experience out' theory, I am all for breaking camp with a handful of rookies in the pen so that when the young starters begin to surface they have a quasi-veteran pen behind them.
The Royals like Texiera more than anyone else in baseball. To be fair, Kanekoa pitched a fair part of last season hurt, but as a minor league nerd and a Process believer the likes of him, Jesse Chavez and Luis Mendoza getting mentioned as possible relievers seems a little too much like buying retread tires. Given that both Texiera and Mendoza have been very good this spring, they might well make the team. Perhaps, as Ned Yost observed, Mendoza will be this year's 'Chen', but I will be surprised to see either make it through June.
As one who has published a monthly update on the projected 25 man roster since last November, Dutton's article scrambled my thoughts on the bullpen considerably. As an unabashed, borderline over the edge Royals' follower, the idea of breaking camp with a bullpen that includes Collins, Duffy, Holland, Jeffress and Coleman is actually quite exciting. It will be interesting to see if the Royals are as excited about that idea as I am.

There are three parts to these little bars: the base, filling and streusel topping. Start with the base, which is a simple graham cracker crust with just a hint of lemon. You will need graham crackers, sugar, melted butter and lemon zest.
The best tool for the job is a food processor; just throw everything in and pulse until crumbly. (If you do not have a food processor, add the crackers, sugar and lemon zest to a plastic bag and pound until crumbs form; combine with the melted butter.)

Recommended Reading (02/09/13)
Here are, in my view, interesting, noteworthy columns and articles from the past week that I highly recommend (You will note that on occasion, I do not endorse the opinions of the author and may point that out. Despite my disagreements, I still feel the piece is worth a read).
Dereliction of Duty
"Nothing. That is what President Barack Obama did on the night of September 11, 2012, as terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and killed four Americans, among them Ambassador Christopher Stevens. President Obama's inaction was revealed in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday by outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey."
Remember, there is no voter fraud
Isn't it ironic?
"1) Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Raven's Ray Lewis - suspect in a murder trial in 2000 - and father of six children with four different women - declares himself to be a "Christian? thanks the Lord for the opportunity to play in the Super Bowl victory.? Yet, was Lewis ever put under the scrutiny that Tim Tebow - also a Christian, (lacking the notorious background of Lewis) suffered at the hands of the media and the usual anti-religious crowd? Was Lewis made fun of the way Tebow was? No. Why not? Could there be a racist element at play here?"
20 reasons America is increasingly becoming a nonfunctional society
"Many people are becoming so childlike in their dependence on the government that they can't save for their own retirement, escape from an oncoming hurricane, or even purchase their own birth control without the government handling it for them."
Say it correctly, please: State-run media, not mainstream
"I'm guilty of it myself.
"That would be of calling the liberally biased national press the 'mainstream media.' Or MSM, as we like to refer to it. But it's inaccurate, and it is not an unimportant inaccuracy.
"For one thing, referring to the liberal media as mainstream implies that we conservatives are not mainstream. Somehow, as absurd as it sounds, we constitutionalists who happen to believe in the principles, passion and authority of our nation's constitution are now viewed as dangerous and irrational extremists, while liberals who seek to subvert our republic's legal foundation in the name of globalism are seen as normal and reasonable and upstanding."
Why I'm canceling my SI subscription
"Like too many other publications, the magazine has become dishonest, dishonorable and even occasionally despicable in its conformist, lockstep left-wing bias. Republican politicians and conservative positions are routinely insulted in articles having nothing to do with either. Yawn-inducing left wing predictability is brought to the discussion of every issue. No SI writer is allowed to disagree with leftism ever. Despite its great photographs and occasionally good athlete profiles, the magazine has remade itself into crap in the name of political conformity.
"For me, the Super Bowl issue with its smarmy and poorly reported article on religion in football was the last straw."
Restore marriage
"The United States is becoming an increasingly class-stratified society. The few at the top enjoy unprecedented affluence. The many in the middle and at the bottom face narrowing opportunities and declining standards of living. The dwindling of marriage is both cause and consequence of America's evolution away from a society of equal chances. The restoration of marriage is crucial to reviving the middle class and offering hope to the poor."
Valentine's Day
"Ah, modern romance. Things sure have changed since Dino dropped off the charts. Now I know why: Romance is dead."

The Rise and Fall (?) of Shareholder Activism by Hedge Funds

Brian R. Cheffins
University of Cambridge - Faculty of Law; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)
September 1, 2009
ECGI - Law Working Paper No. 136/2009
Shareholder activism by hedge funds has over the past few years become a major corporate governance phenomenon. This paper puts the trend into context. The paper begins by distinguishing the "offensive" form of activism hedge funds engage in from "defensive" interventions "mainstream" institutional investors (e.g. pension funds or mutual funds) undertake. Variables influencing the prevalence of offensive shareholder activism are then identified using a heuristic device we call "the market for corporate influence". The rise of hedge funds as practitioners of offensive shareholder activism is traced by reference to the "supply" and "demand" sides of this market, with the basic chronology being that, while there were direct antecedents of hedge fund activists as far back as the 1980s, hedge funds did not move to the activism forefront until the 2000s. The paper brings matters up-to-date by discussing the impact of the recent financial crisis on hedge fund-driven shareholder activism and draws upon the market for corporate influence heuristic to predict future trends.

No apology??
Where is the public apology (or private for that matter) from these boys and their parents to Karen Klein?
Bus Aide, Karen Klein
What was the bus driver doing? Why didn't he/she pull over and stop and call the bus garage. The parent's should have been called and made to come and pick up their abusive children.
when I went to middle school
I went to middle school in the 70's - the very first day of school on the bus the lady bus driver let me know I was a fatty and had to push right in -- also one teacher I had made myself and 3 other fatty's sit at the same table and of coursethe whole class noticed all the fat kids sat at the same table -- nowadays if kids act like kids the whole country is passing the hat -- can I get a piece of the money collected
They needed the bus driver I had almost 50 years ago.
The guy that drove the bus I rode on in school didn't put up with any nonsense from anyone. If you acted up on the bus he would pull over and light up a cigar until there was total quiet on the bus. Didn't take too many sessions of him doing that to get perfect behavior from us. I am sure today he would be brought up on charges for endangering the welfare of a minor. All 4 of those kids need a good swift kick on a regular basis to relocate their brains from their pants to under their hats.

I am a single father and have a 14-month old daughter. Recently, I have brought to stay with me one night every other week. Everything is okay. I wish I knew a little bit more about her needs. There are certain times that I can tell she is tired when she rubs her eyes or when she cries that she has soiled her diaper. Sometimes, I don't know what she is trying to communicate from her behavior. Are there any literature or information that I can read about to try to communicate with my daughter?

HI Fred,
Welcome to the API Forums! I love to see more and more dads on here. This is a great place to find lots of information and support. I am sure you will get lots of responses to your questions. My favorite place to start when I was new to parenting and learning about my little one, was a book by Dr Sears called The Baby Book. Actually all of Dr Sear's books, I have found to be very helpful. I am sure Borders or your nearest library will have them available. (or the API store too!!)
Looking forward to hearing how things progress-

MomMom and devoted wife to 3 creatures of delight
would you and her mother be willing to work together to teach her sign language? children at this age have stronger receptive language than expressive language, which means that although they can understand what you're saying, they have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. sign language can be a great way to overcome this hurdle. w/ds1, we used the Signing Time videos. we got them from the library. if your library doesn't carry them, talk to the reference librarian. i'd bet they'd be willing to get them for you. they are geared for young children and my ds loved them. he eventually learned over 200 signs!
also, getting down on their level can go a long way in easing language barriers. it helps the child see that you are trying to understand and can ease tensions. of course, A LOT of patience is required, and be prepared to give your toddler EXACTLY what she wants and have her still be mad at you. that's the toddler's prerogative!

Mother to O (4yrs) and E (1.5)
Hi Fred,
Is her mother willing to write a little about what she is doing lately before you have her? I think its a little hard for you to know her cues when you don't see her that often, and her mother must know if she is doing_______ that means ______etc.
I second the babysign idea, which I also did with my first boy, and am doing now with my 2nd. It is great for toddler frustrations and we have used it well after my first had learned to talk...still now when he is 4.
I think it is great Fred, that you want to communicate with her better. I get all teary!

Georgetown Public Law Research Paper No. 1406570
The law is a frequently overlooked tool for addressing the complex practical and ethical issues that arise from the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The law intersects with reproductive and sexual health issues and HIV/AIDS in many ways. Well-written and rigorously applied laws could benefit persons living with (or at risk of contracting) HIV/AIDS, particularly concerning their reproductive and sexual health. Access to reproductive health services should be a legal right, and discrimination based on HIV status, which undermines access, should be prohibited. Laws against sexual violence and exploitation, which perpetuate the spread of HIV and its negative effects, should be enforced. Finally, a human rights framework should inform the drafting of laws to more effectively protect health.

An Adams County Sheriff's deputy who fatally shot a suspected drunk driver in January was cleared of wrongdoing following nearly three months of investigation by the Adams County Critical Incident Team.
The three-member investigation team — comprised of detectives from three separate Adams County police departments — found that Senior Deputy Manuel Aragon was justified in shooting 45-year-old Robert Alan Penning, according to a March 19 letter sent by Adams County District Attorney Dave Young to Sheriff Doug Darr.
The incident began at about 5:59 p.m. Jan. 14, shortly after a woman called dispatchers to report that a suspected drunk driver had rolled his black-colored sedan off the right side of the road near East 142nd Avenue and Quebec Street.
According to reports, Penning, who was driving the sedan, exited the car, grabbed a 12 pack of beer from the vehicle and asked three unknown male witnesses for a ride after they pulled over to see if he needed help.
The woman asked the two male witnesses to help her obtain Penning's license plate numbers and told them not to give Penning a ride while she called for help.
The men drove off after they could not find a license plate for Penning's car.
Penning then walked to the woman's car, holding the 12 pack of beer, and crouched behind her car for several minutes before Aragon arrived on scene.
As the deputy arrived on scene, the woman reportedly told investigators, Penning said, "Well, I guess it's time for me to go." Aragon walked to within 10 to 12 feet of Penning and asked if he was OK, then before Penning abruptly stood up, turned around and pointed a Smith and Wesson, .357-caliber revolver at Aragon.
The woman, who was inside her car at the time, said Aragon then told Penning to drop his weapon before Aragon fired two shots at Penning, causing him to fall into a roadside ditch.
Deputy Shawn Billings arrived on scene shortly afterward, where he handcuffed Penning until he was pronounced dead at 6:23 p.m., nearly 24 minutes after the woman's first call was received by dispatchers.
An autopsy conducted by the Adams County Coroner's Office later confirmed that Penning died from a single gunshot wound to his left chest area.
In his letter to Darr, Young said Aragon "used the appropriate amount of deadly force to safely stop the threat in this matter," because Aragon was trying to protect himself and the female driver.
"During those few critical seconds on scene, Mr. Penning never dropped his weapon but retained possession of the gun and continued to point it directly at Deputy Aragon while standing just feet away from (the woman)," the letter read in part. "Under these facts, Deputy Aragon justifiably feared for his own safety and the safety of (the woman)."
Sgt. Paul Gregory said Aragon was placed on paid administrative leave following the incident but has returned to duty in the patrol division.
As a departmental procedure, Gregory said the sheriff's office is not issuing a statement on the findings.

TUPELO – Once a week in the parking lot outside the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society shelter, a maroon and white three-axle rig, pulled by an extended-cab pickup, takes up a chunk of space.
But no one minds.
It's Mississippi State University's Mobile Veterinary Clinic and they are here to help.
On board is Dr. Phil Bushby, a veterinarian and faculty member of the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine for 35 years.
"They tell me I gotta stay until I get it right," he says with a dry chuckle. But it's clear he loves what he does.
With Bushby is Emily Childers, a veterinary technician, who's been with Bushby for nearly six years; and two fourth-year vet students, Brolin Evans from Georgia and Kelli Davis from Hattiesburg.
Last week, they were the crew of Mobile Unit 2, a clinic on wheels. It's one of two mobile clinics that visit 18 different shelters across Northeast Mississippi to spay and neuter cats and dogs.
The first mobile clinic has been on the road since 2007. Dr. Kimberly Woodruff is the MSU faculty member who travels with Mobile Unit 1.
"Really, it is a by-product of Hurricane Katrina," Bushby said. "The American Kennel Club was involved with Companion Animal Recovery and saw a need for emergency response vehicles in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana. They offered us a $100,000 grant toward purchasing one. We raised another $100,000 to match the grant and had a vehicle dual equipped for emergency response and spaying and neutering."
With the first mobile clinic on hand, the vet school added to its curriculum a two-week rotation which allowed seniors to travel to some of the state's shelters.
"We go for 50 weeks out of the year," Bushby said. "We do not travel the weeks of Christmas or New Year's."
There were, however, limitations. Only two students at a time could be a part of the mobile clinic program. The program admits 85 students, leaving 40 percent of the seniors who could not get into the elective.
So two years ago, the students got together and decided to raise money for a second mobile clinic.
"In six months, they'd raised $56,000," Bushby said. "That's not bad, but it's only a fifth of what's needed. Then Pet Smart Charities heard about the students' efforts and got involved.
"They cut a check for a quarter of a million dollars," he said. "That left the money the students raised for operating expenses."
Mobile Unit 2 has been on the road since Jan. 6.
No state funds are used in the operating of the mobile clinics; nor is there any charge for the shelters.
"Really, it's a win/win/win situation, for the students, the shelters and the animals," Bushby said. "The animals get taken off death row and, hopefully, put in a home."
And the students gain surgical experience – and a first-hand knowledge of the problem of overpopulation.
"They recognize early on the numbers of animals in shelters and the numbers that have to be euthanized," Bushby said.
Thursday in Tupelo, there were 35 dogs and cats to be spayed or neutered.
"That's a pretty typical day here," he said. "Tupelo has the largest intake of any of the shelters we go to. But the surrounding counties don't have shelters, so Tupelo-Lee absorbs from the surrounding areas."
Until recently, the mobile clinic visited Tupelo once a month. The weekly visit has been a big help to the shelter.
"It has helped lower the cost the shelter has in the animals," said Debbie Hood, the shelter's executive director. "Since donations from the public are down, it has helped us not to have the expense of the surgeries."
After the surgeries are finished, each animal is given a permanent green tattoo. That way, if the animal should ever end up in another shelter, folks will know it has been spayed or neutered.
MSU's Mobile Veterinary Clinics not only provide training for their students, but they could very well be on the road to solving a problem of enormous proportions – pet overpopulation.
"The only way we are ever going to solve the problem is to make sure every animal is spayed or neutered before it is adopted," Bushby said. "Eventually, we will get a handle on this."

Live at Training Camp 2009: Day Two
Jason Gregor
September 14 2009 09:36AM
I learned from yesterday, so I wasn't a keener and here for the first session at 8:15 that just involved drills and skating. Got here at 9:00 just as the zamboni was finishing up, and now we should see some scrimmaging.
Here are the lineups for the first scrimmage:
O'Sullivan Horcoff Hemsky Stone Schremp Linglet Bates Paukovich MacMurchy
Souray Dudas Motin Wild
Dubnyk and Mucha
Moreau Cogliano Pisani Reddox Potulny Fretter Comrie Brennan Lazo
Staios Smid Young Nickerson
Khabibulin and Roy
Scrimmage started at 9:25. Not much happens for the first five minutes, the guys were more concerned on what rules they were going to play, although they do have two WHL linesmen running the game.
9:30…Big hit as Brennan lays out Motin right in front of the benches. Motin will have to learn quickly that he can't admire his passes in the AHL.
9:31..Cogliano beats Horcoff in a draw in the neutral zone. Maybe Horcoff wants to give Cogliano some confidence or Cogliano has improved. I'll count Cogliano's draws all day. So far he is 2-0.
9:35…There hasn't been one good scoring chance so far. Schremp had a 40-foot snapper from the hash marks that Khabibulin handled easily, other than that it has been mostly neutral zone play and breakouts.
9:37…Smid almost scores on a weak wrister from the left point. If he scores in an inter squad scrimmage he'll score twice this year.
9:38…Russ Eliuk, one of the refs talks to Quinn about calling penalties. Quinn wants him to call it straight up, so we should see some penalties soon.
9:40…Schremp with a hit on Fretter. Okay it wasn't huge, but he did lean into him and for Schremp that is a good sign. Crowd of about 400 here this morning, and many are having flashbacks to last season. The Oilers, as you recall, weren't stellar at home, and 15 minutes into the scrimmage neither team has done much.
9:41…It is great watching them skate with no advertising on the boards, brings me back to my childhood when in the 80s rink board advertising wasn't even thought of.
9:42…Comrie tries a toe-drag around Dudas, and it just about works but Dudas gets a skate blade on it, Brennan follows in with a rebound.
9:44…Horcoff opens the scoring on a broken play and Blue leads one to nothing.
9:47...Penalty shot...MacMurchy comes in across the blueline and snaps one five hole and team blue leads 2-0.
Wayne Fleming and Kelly Buchberger are coaching blue, while Quinn and Renney are on the white bench. Quinn is actually running the door. Okay, he isn't opening it every time, but he does open it up for a few guys. He definitely doesn't have an attitude that he is bigger than anyone else.
9:49...They break for a few minutes and change goalies. Roy is now in for team white replacing Khabibulin and Mucha comes in for Dubnyk for blue.
9:50..Cogliano gets schooled on the draw. It is a faceoff in his zone to the right of Roy. Horcoff goes straight ahead, and then passes it to Hemsky for a tap in goal. 3-0 Blue. Cogliano 2-1 in faceoffs. Crowd calls for a replay. They applaud the goal.
9:53...Team white has done nothing offensively. Brennan rips a 40 foot slapper and I think that is there 4th shot on goal. Not a good day for team white so far.
9:54...Great forecheck by Pisani, he knocks down a Hemsky pass and then strips Horcoff and dishes a soft pass back to Staios, who rips a one-timer just over the bar. Best sequence for white.
9:56...MacMurchy rips his second of the day, a nice snap shot from the slot over Roy's glove. MacMurchy had nine goals and 26 points in 33 games for Stockton last year. He is hoping to make the jump to the AHL this year. He isn't that big, but if he can finish he might have a chance to play for Daum. 4-0 team blue.
10:00..Blue continues the onslaught as Horcoff takes a pass from Hemsky after a turn over and rips a slap slot just inside the left post on Roy. Nickerson gave the puck away and is he ever slow. He is big and he might be able to play in the AHL, but his footspeed is noticeably lacking.
10:01...Call off the dogs...Souray jumps in from the blue line and snaps a rebound just under the bar for a 6-0 lead.
10:03...Pisani breaks the shut out as he takes a Cogliano pass in the slot and snaps one over the pad of Mucha, just inside the post. 6-1 team blue.
10:06...What a pass by Schremp. He circled behind the net came up the left boards and saucered a pass through five players to a streaking Motin at the right crease. Motin hits the outside of the post. But still a great pass by Schremp.
10:08...They decide to play four-on-four for a few minutes and nothing happens.
10:10...They are now doing a shootout...Schremp scores on his first three before Mucha stops him on the 4th try. Each team is given seven pucks and they go until they score seven. If a player is stopped he has to retrieve the puck and bring it back to centre.
Linglet for blue...Potulny scores for team white...Paukovich with a nice top shelf job for blue...Cody Wild buries one right on the ice and blue needs one more for the win..Potulny with his second for White...Lazo scores two for white and now next goal wins... Linglet off the bench for blue and rips home his second of the shootout and team blue wins. White has to skate two laps.
First scrimmage ends, now they will scrape the ice and the other group will come out for drills and then scrimmage later.
Brule left yesterday because he was sick, but he is back on the ice today and feeling much better.
10:58...About 20 minutes into drills, Quinn blows a whistle and has a meeting at centre ice. He doesn't read the riot act, but you can hear him tell the group to stop wasting their time and do the drill properly and efficiently. After the brief chat the pace and execution is noticeably better.
For the a second scrimmage the lineup looks like this.
Penner Gagner Eberle Nilsson Brule Minard Lerg Trukhno McDonald
Grebeshkov Gilbert Plante Bendfeld
Pitton and JDD
Jacques Pouliot Stortini Cornet O'Marra MacIntyre Czuy Kytnar Emmerson
Chorney Strudwick Arsene Taylor Prout
Perugini and Sorochan
11:39...Scrimmage starts..on paper team blue looks much better. I'm stunned that JDD isn't in goal for team white at least so he could get some shots.
11:40...Faster pace than the morning session, but so far no chances either way.
11:42...Brule fans on a one-timer from Eberle....seconds later O'Marra breaks in alone for team white and slides it five hole. White leads 1-0.
11:43...Pouliot wins a draw in his own zone. He'll be the guy I watch faceoff wise this session.
11:45...Not much happening and it got me thinking about how bad my Fish were yesterday. They had 13 turnovers all of last year, but they had four yesterday. Wake up Pennington, and feel free to have back-to-back productive seasons for once...
11:46... So far team blue hasn't done much. They might have more paper skill, but white works hard. Riley Emmerson is freaking huge. 6'8", 248 pounds. He leaned on Minard against the board and Minard felt it. Emmerson had three goals and nine points in nine games last year in the AHL. Not bad.
11:47...Arsene crushes McDonald...and instead of penalties the team gets a penalty shot. McDonald walks in, fakes backhand and then roofs a forehand over a sprawled out Perugini. 1-1.
11:49...White back out in front...Chorney takes a shot from the left point and Cornet redirects it past Pitton. 2-1 white.
11:50...McDonald comes back with a hit of his own on Arsene in the neutral zone. So far McDonald has been involved a lot.
11:52... Gagner brings into the offensive zone, button hooks at the left hashmarks and saucers one to Penner. His long range one-timer is handled easily by Perugini. That line hasn't done much so far.
11:54..Pouliot loses draw at centre...he is 1-1...
11:55..Low battery light for my laptop just came on...hopefully it last a bit longer...
11:56...Pouliot wins faceoff in offensive zone cleanly to Jacques who gets a good shot away. Pitton covers up...Bendfeld and Stortini push and shove in front of the goal, and on next draw, which Pouliot wins, Stortini takes a healthy few strides at Bendfeld. This session has been much more entertaining than the morning one. Pouliot 3-1 in draw.
11:59: Quick few minute break.
12:03...Nilsson dominates this shift. Enters the zone with lots of speed dances around two guys on team white, battles against the wall and then has a saucer pass knocked out of the air. He then hustles back on the back check. His best shift by far.
12:07..MacIntryre is laying the body. He hit Minard last shift and now this team he leaned into Penner against the wall, and then walked over Grebeshkov to get the puck out of the zone. He is a guy who has to play that way even in a scrimmage. Gagner line had their best shift v. MacIntrye's line. Had a good cycle going.
12:12...reboot computer...wireless went down.
12:13...They switch and start playing four on four.
12:15...Brule controls the puck for 20 seconds in the offensive zone, he circles back to the left point, feathers a pass to Plante who walks in from the right point and rips one under the bar. Great shot and we are tied at 2.
12:16..McDonald draws another penalty and goes in on his second penalty shot, but this time he misplays the puck, trips over Sorochan's stick and doesn't score.
12:18... Gagner from behind the net puts a pass on Penner's tape and he one-timed it top shelf. The goal draws some oohs and ahhs from the crowd. 3-2 blue.
12:20...Now we go to the shoot out...Seven pucks for each team. They go until they score all seven. If a player misses he has to bring the puck back to centre.
12:22...Prout for white and Gagner for blue...both stopped... Kytnar scores for white...then Pouliot scores three times in a row...Penner with a nifty move and then McDonald reply for blue...Czuy burys two in a row for white. He has some nice hands....Cornet scores for white and they declare game over. That is only six goals, but they win and blue skates two laps with white in the middle of the ice watching....white then does some laps and Stortini blows a wheel behind the net and crashes into the end boards, which gets a laugh from his teammates.
Day two is done...I will try to get most of tomorrow's lineup later this afternoon.
September 14 2009, 09:39AM
Hey Gregor, do they typically have this many people at training camp? If so, what's the point of going so deep? Seems alot of the names up their will barely have an AHL career, let alone NHL.
September 14 2009, 09:52AM
Glad that hockey season is getting underway. You guys do a great job here on the Nation. Glad you can be there and give us updates. I live in Red Deer so it's harder to get away to see games. Thanks
Thanks so much for these live updates, Jason. I need to stay awake in class somehow! This is perfect.
September 14 2009, 10:01AM
This is great Gregor. Glad to have you there. Thanks.
September 14 2009, 10:01AM
Live updates are awesome Jason.
Are you hungover today, I thought I read Cogliano 2-1.
Thanks for the updates.
September 14 2009, 10:05AM
You know what's awesome? HOCKEY!
Gregor thanks to your updates I can officially write off a day of work. I will be checking every 30 seconds for an update.
~I will now officially predict that Khabibulin has to start 70 + games for the Oilers to have a shot of making the playoff this year...~
*runs away screaming and hides under Star Wars bed sheets and hopes Mr. Brownlee's age has affected his memory*
and here I was thinking The Wall vs Dubnyk, with Dubnyk "winning" 2 - 0 was a bad score for the Wall.
Maybe not. LOL
September 14 2009, 10:08AM
Hey Gregor, I assume the Millenium sessions Thurs are open?
September 14 2009, 10:09AM
How does O'sully look with Hemsky/Horc?
Well of course team blue is winning. They have 3 legitimate offensive NHL forwards, 2 semi/maybe NHLers(Shremp/Stone) and Souray.
White has Pisani, Cogliano and Comrie for offense and a punch of AHL/ECHLers.
It should be a spanking.
That said how late do these scrimmages go?, and if I'm feeling real lazy, is there free parking?
September 14 2009, 10:12AM
Hey Gregor... a big. big thanks for these updates. Great stuff.
I'm hearing lots of Horcoff/Kemsky, how bout O'Sullivan, how's he looking along side of them?
September 14 2009, 10:16AM
does anyone know if we will be able to watch the pre-season games anywhere??
September 14 2009, 10:18AM
At Rexall.
Mmmm... Schremp. He's playing just well enough to get cut by the Oilers but picked up by the Islanders. Do we get any kind of compensation if he's picked up off waivers?
LOL at rexall good one. But seriously tmrw on the Oilers website the game will be streamed. I think that's the case for every game.
September 14 2009, 10:23AM

Just the sense of regret while we watch him and Tavares light it up.
September 14 2009, 10:23AM
@ Knobert
If you go to the Oilers home page and look at the schedual, they also list the T.V. coverage. I think a couple of the games are televised.
Gregor any word on those beer prices for the year?
September 14 2009, 10:34AM
@ rexall
I have been here the last couple of days and have noticed one thing... What is with Cogliano not skating. Yesterday he got yelled at by Bucky and today he doesn't even skate the two full laps with his losing team?? Has be forgotten about his best NHL skill?

That's too bad. Schremp is a useful piece for any team in need of a PP specialist and shootout wizard (e.g. an inexperienced but MUCH cheaper Kotalik). You gotta think that he wouldn't be able to pass through waivers...
...unless Pat Quinn can find his inner Mac-T and thrash him in a pre-season post-game interview.
@ travis: Maybe he is acutally mad for being traded and then not traded?
September 14 2009, 10:35AM
Schremp oh man, where were you two years ago when we had all sorts of openings in our top 6.... Why couldn't you have had your "Robbie Shremp" hockey up to NHL standards.... (sigh)
September 14 2009, 10:37AM
So many passengers at training camp......must just piss Quinn off to be wasting this valuable time. With 5 games in six nights starting tommorow will drastically shorten Quinn/Renneys' time to gauge the assets.
There's no reason to have more than 48-50 guys at camp.
September 14 2009, 10:39AM
Concessions say 8 for beer this year. I guess the pipes do get extra heroiny each year so it should take less
September 14 2009, 10:49AM
Nice job, Gregor. These camp updates are great.
September 14 2009, 10:51AM
@ no clue:
not the training sessions dumbass! the Pre-season Games vs other teams
@ no clue:
I'll be watching one of them live at the MTS Centre! It's about time we had a decent team play a preseason game in Winnipeg. The flamers played the yotes here last year.
September 14 2009, 10:56AM
@ Knobert
Ya thats right the pre-season games. Check the oilers web site under schedual, there is a tab at the top that you can toggle to pre-season (and TV is listed on the right)
Ya my buddy works at the club bar at rexall and told me this weekend that beers are going up in price.
On another note, whats with the shot glass sized beer glasses at the eskies game? All they are creating is an eternal beer line.
@ Quicksilver ballet: I really don't even see the point in having more then 35 or so. Do they really want our NHL staff watching all these guys? Can't our AHL staff make decisions on these AHL guys?
September 14 2009, 10:59AM
@ Jimmy
Seems silly that there is no NHL team in the "Peg", I feel for you brother. But at least you don't have to sit through a Flames (or Leafs) game! See the cup is half full.
@ jeff:
Nothing wrong with letting the lower level players in the organization taste the dream for a couple days, most of them will be cut before the preseason games anyway.
It certainly can't hurt to give them some hope, treat them nice and give them a taste of the bigs. That's the sort of thing that makes you want to do your best for someone after all.
@ Colin: I don't mind seeing our prospects such as Eberle and Plante and so forth given the chance. At least it gives the club a chance to let the player know what they should work on, but some of these guys in camp are just a waste. 8 goalies? For what?
September 14 2009, 11:05AM
@ Colin
Unless its at the cost of the guys that might actually contribute to the team or the team as a whole.
Just a thought.
September 14 2009, 11:07AM
Another team blue blowout coming up, could these squads be any more uneven in terms of skill level?
September 14 2009, 11:07AM
"Well of course team blue is winning. They have 3 legitimate offensive NHL forwards, "
Were they matching lines? Because ECHLer MacMurchy scored twice
Bates Paukovich MacMurchy vs Comrie Brennan Lazo
Blue #2 should crush White #2
Nice to see that the players are still playing lazy. Hopefully they smarten up after Quinn talked to them.
You know half of these guys will never see the NHL, it is a little suprising that they aren't giving 100%.
September 14 2009, 11:08AM
@ jeff: I think it's important for the players we have to get to see life in the bigs. It creates a winning atmosphere. Look at a player like Tim Thomas, wasn't an NHL regular until 34. I say keep the dream alive. Who cares it's only a few days.
On the other end, our top players have a few lower level guys to hone their skills against. Can't be bad for the confidence of our NHL guys to light the lamp and undress a few weaker opponents.
It also is a cost saving measure as Stockton and Springfield have shorter training camps because everyone is here, in one place as opposed to 3 places.
I don't mind it as long as the first 20 cuts happen quickly.

Schremp is not making the Oilers this year. With Comrie, Nilsson, Potulny, Brule, Reddox, Pouliot, McIntyre and possibly Jacques ahead of Schremp, he has no chance. They had an NHL vet with better hands, size and a harder shot last year in Kotalik and they let him walk, why would they keep a smaller version in Schremp. Consider him NYI property when the year starts.

@ Ogden Brother:
You don't want your veterans playing that many preseason games. This camp is smaller than ones I remember when they used to have close to 66 or 70 players.

How does O'sully look with Hemsky/Horc?
I didn't notice him much in the scrimmage, but he didn't look bad. He will play tomorrow in Calgary with Stone and Comrie.

That said how late do these scrimmages go?, and if I'm feeling real lazy, is there free parking?
Yes parking is free. Scrimmage will start around 11:30 I'm guessing.
@ RossCreek:
As for Thursday's practice at Millennium it is open to the public if you want to take a look.

Mmmm… Schremp. He's playing just well enough to get cut by the Oilers but picked up by the Islanders. Do we get any kind of compensation if he's picked up off waivers?
They would get nothing if he is claimed. The Islanders have to pay a small fee, around $45,000. I'm not sure if the money goes to the Oilers or the league. I will find out.

If O'Sullivan sticks on the line with Horcoff and Hemsky, the line could be called H2O!

TSN released it's player point predictions and rankings. Top Oiler? Ales Hemsky at 47th with 66 points.....
Apparently they don't know O'Sullivan is going to light it up like Ovie...
Two words TSN

Hey Gregor,
Rockin' the green hoodie this morning! Was that the approximate color of your hangover face yesterday?
I thought Schremp, Comrie and Smid were the best of the bunch this morning. I'm excited to see what Eberle and Nilsson look like in the scrimmage.
Keep up the good work!
@ no clue:
We had some really great AHL action last year, but the Moose have basically been dismantled as one or two of the difference-makers will likely get called up to the nucks. The main problem is the short-sightedness of building an arena that only seats 15,000 people.

Oh and Visnofsky isn't even on the list which means they predict he'll score less than 35pts. Same goes for Gilbert....
(alla John Cleese) "TSN I fart in your general direction..."
Thanks for the coverage again Gregor, it's really appreciated.

The TSN rankings are joke, pretty much every player is within 2-4 points up or down from what they scored last year. Useless, just useless.
@ Fiveandagame: Gilbert listed at 40pts at 199th
