Burrows' Claims are a Big Problem for the NHL

Burrows and Auger "discuss things" before Monday's game. (image from Rogers Sportsnet)
The NHL appears to have a mess on its hands. Alex Burrows laid out some very serious allegations last night following his Canucks' loss to the Nashville Predators. Burrows has alleged that referee Stephane Auger had a vendetta against him, and that Auger told Burrows before the start of the game that Auger would be out to get him during the game.
Per ESPN, Burrows said, "It was personal," Burrows said. "It started in warm-up before the anthem. The ref came over to me and said I made him look bad in Nashville on the Smithson hit. He said he was going to get me back tonight and he did his job in the third."
The Kurtenblog has done an excellent job compiling some recent evidence that shows Burrows has a point.
1. Stephane Auger has a track record of questionable decision-making.
2. Burrows and Auger go way back, back before the Smithson hit.
3. Auger and LaRue were also responsible for this beauty in Detroit earlier this season.
Where does this all stem from? Burrows embellished a hit from the Predators' Jerred Smithson earlier in the year. On the hit, Smithson received a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct. Evidence though shows that Burrows embellished the play, causing Auger to give Smithson a stiff penalty. Burrows claims now that the dubious officiating in last night's game was revenge for making Auger look bad on that call.
Also, Jason Botchford states (via Twitter) "Auger gave Burrows game misconduct in February when shaft of his stick slid up and hit Brisebois. Questionable whether it was even a penalty". "Here is the play in February in which Auger gave Burrows a game misconduct > http://tiny.cc/2wlHA (45 seconds in for the replay)"
Furthermore, for the actual evidence, there is video of Burrows and Auger talking before the game, which substantiates Burrows' claim.
Given all of this information, it's clear that the NHL has a big problem on its hands. This allegation shows that a referee's personal feelings caused him to act in a biased manner and ultimately affected the outcome of a game. If this is true, this is the NHL's equivalent to the Tim Donaghy saga. The NHL must address this quickly and must investigate this thoroughly. It cannot have rogue officials taking vendettas into games, changing outcomes and affecting the standings. Canucks management, staff, media and fans will all be eager to hear from the NHL in the next 48-72 hours.
I hope for his sake that Alex Burrows did not lose something in the translation, or mishear Auger, or there was any confusion. If so, he will be a marked man with every ref every time he steps on the ice. On the other hand, Burrows has no history of speaking negatively about officials, he was very clear about what he says Auger said to him, and there is video evidence that Auger singled him out and spoke to him before the game.
I'll reserve my next judgment until the NHL has its say.
If it's true, it's crazy that this happened. However, if it isn't true, it might be even crazier — like some bizarre reality TV show episode taking place in the NHL.
I'm eager to see what the league has to say about it...
@Cam Davie
So, Auger was pissed because of an alleged dive? really? seems a rather odd thing to get in such a tizzy over...
I adore Burrows for breaking the BS rule of not being able to call out officials. They are supposed to remain unbiased and objective to protect the integrity of the game. Not bring their personal issues on the ice with them, let the players do that. The NHL needs to respond to this quickly, and investigate Auger, I with Burrows on this one, he was FIRED UP last night after the game, and I've never seen him like that.
January 12 2010, 04:22PM
I think it's obvious that Auger singled Burrows out and the calls against Burrows were all very questionable.I also wonder if Burrows will face any disciplinary action for his comments after the game.
While it may be very true that Auger targetted Burrows for 'revenge', there are two things that are still going to come back to haunt Burrows about this:
1) The first penalty in question in last night's game was a legitimate penaty. Burrows dove. The league will have to give Auger the benefit of the doubt on that call; it's hard to watch that replay and come to any other conclusion. Burrows started to get up and then simply fell over for no reason. Likewise on the game misconduct; it's legitimate. No matter how angry you are with an official, justified or not, you cannot just go out there and start unloading on the guy. If everyone did that, chaos would ensue. The rules are quite clear on this; it was a textbook call.
2) Despite the fact that the second penalty was a pretty lame call and arguably decided the game, Burrows had to know that going public with allegations like this violated every leage protocol on dealing with this situation. The Right Way: Talk to your coach, who talks to the GM, who sends a written protest to the league, who deals with the incident quietly so that we never hear about it. Maybe Auger is fired, maybe he doesn't ref the Canucks anymore, maybe no punishment is exacted. The Wrong Way: Tell everyone in Canada that Auger essentially fixed a pro sporting event, implying that if the league doesn't do something awful to him that they condone such activities in their league. How could Burrows possibly expect to avoid at the very least a large fine and at worst a suspension? It has to happen.

Nice job waiting for the NHL's say Cam
Burrows just received a $2500 fine but no suspension...I think that this is a good sign. If they sided with Auger the consequences would have been a lot greater. Your thoughts?

It looks like the league has sided with Auger, at least publically. At this time, per Dregor at TSN, the league will not be handing any discipline to Auger. Behind the scenes, of course, I'm sure there will be a nice big black mark on his record for being stupid, but nothing public.
Honestly, I don't think the league had any choice but to go this way. You let one player get away with beefing about the refs on camera and they'll all start doing it, especially if they know that the ref faces discipline as a result of their comments. The players can afford the fine; the refs would be the ones to really suffer. There is a way to police your referees but that process cannot involve the players they are supposed to be monitoring. That's letting the inmates run the asylum.

For seven years, Alison Arngrim played a wretched, scheming, selfish, lying, manipulative brat on one of TV history's most beloved series. Though millions of Little House on the Prairie viewers hated Nellie Oleson and her evil antics, Arngrim grew to love her character and the freedom and confidence Nellie inspired in her.
In Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, Arngrim describes growing up in Hollywood with her eccentric parents: Thor Arngrim, a talent manager to Liberace and others, whose appetite for publicity was insatiable, and legendary voice actress Norma MacMillan, who played both Gumby and Casper the Friendly Ghost. She recalls her most cherished and often wickedly funny moments behind the scenes of Little House Michael Landon's "unsaintly" habit of not wearing underwear; how she and Melissa Gilbert (who played her TV nemesis, Laura Ingalls) became best friends and accidentally got drunk on rum cakes at 7-Eleven; and the only time she and Katherine MacGregor (who played Nellie's mom) appeared in public in costume, provoking a posse of elementary schoolgirls to attack them.
Arngrim relays all this and more with biting wit, but she also bravely recounts her life's challenges: her struggle to survive a history of traumatic abuse, depression, and paralyzing shyness; the "secret" her father kept from her for twenty years; and the devastating loss of her "Little House husband" and best friend, Steve Tracy, to AIDS, which inspired her second career in social and political activism. Arngrim describes how Nellie Oleson taught her to be bold, daring, and determined, and how she is eternally grateful to have had the biggest little bitch on the prairie to show her the way.
"Hilarious and heartbreaking."
-Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Arngrim, decades past her 'Little House On The Prairie' years, dishes lots of great on-set stories, talks about what being a kid actor in the 1970s was actually like and discusses her own painful family history with frankness and humor....Delightful."
"Spunky Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie [Oleson], gets my kudos...Alison has a knack for yanking people's chains in a good way. And her new bestselling memoir, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, is such an absorbing read, I just had to give the woman a call for some bitch talk."
-Michael Musto, Village Voice
"'Confessions of a Prairie Bitch' says it all: Neither Arngrim nor Nellie could ever be called boring."
-Entertainment Weekly
"Courage, moxie, chutzpah , cajones. Alison Arngrim has them all in spades. In "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch," she bares her soul and manages to share her story with grace, dignity, and her inimitable humor. Simply put, I love this book and I love her. "
-Melissa Gilbert
"Alison Arngrim, familiar to a generation of TV viewers as the petulant Nellie Oleson of 'Little House On The Prairie,' is dishing the dirt on Walnut Grove."
-AOL PopEater
"Arngrim displays a healthy sense of humor."
-Chicago Sun-Times
Arngrim looks back on playing the pint-sized sociopath in her memoir, "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch," in which she merrily recalls show creator and star Michael Landon, that infamous blond wig, and how Nellie inspired her lifelong obsession with villainy."
-New York Post
"Alison Arngrim is a talented actress and an author who has patched together a meaningful life and created a book whose pages…fly."
-Phyllis Diller
"As a city bitch myself, I loved this book! It's nice to see how the other half lives. Alison Arngrim's memoir is a hilarious, moving, and dishy Hollywood tale."
-Margaret Cho
"Alison Arngrim is a fine actress and a true comedienne. She has always been the kind of 'Bitch' who tells it like it is. So, readers beware, you are in for an eye-full of reality told with a remarkable sense of humor."
-Carol Channing
"Whoa, Nellie! "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch" is a book that you will keep stored under a haystack in the barn, to dip into whenever you need a shot of something that will keep you down on the farm."
-Bruce Vilanch

San Rafael seventh grade CTE students participated in the National Job Shadow Day on Feb. 2. This is a day where the students are able to shadow a parent or other adult and find out a little bit about the world of work.
Courtney Lindsey shadowed her dad (highway patrolman) and said, "I think that this may be a job that I would want. I want to get a job where I can work on the computer, but where I can also get around and do stuff."
Cayden Fox shadowed his dad (farrier) and said, "I might want to have this job when I'm older. It pays good and you can find people who need this done just about everywhere. I enjoyed my experience at this Job Shadow Day. It was fun and I learned a lot, and I got out of school."
Mason Moss shadowed his dad (teacher) and had this to say, "After spending the day in the teaching profession, I am all the more convinced that I want to be a pilot. But the day spent at Emery High School with my dad was a good one and helped me appreciate what it takes to be a teacher."
Ethan Winter shadowed his dad (gas field operator) and said, "My dad can't call in sick or miss a day, but my dad's job is the best job in the whole wide world. I loved going to work with my dad."
Sierra Chamberlain worked with her mom at home making candy. "It was an enjoyable day making candy and I'd do it again just to taste and make sure it has the right flavor. It was a good day job shadowing my mom." She also brought samples of the candy she made to school, and they were delicious.
Riley Rasmussen went to work with his stepdad (chief financial officer), he said, "With the 10 key calculator, he had to keep track of interest, and with Microsoft Excel he keeps track of all the money that comes in and goes out. One thing I learned is that even if you don't like the job you are doing, you still can get paid money for working."

Leading pair win; Inter claim derby
A review of the weekend's action in the Italian Serie A, including wins for Napoli, Juventus and Inter in the Milan derby.
- Related Content
Napoli and Juventus remain locked together at the top of Serie A after winning their respective games on Sunday.
Napoli's was a hard-earned 2-1 triumph over Udinese at the Stadio San Paolo, with Marek Hamsik and Goran Pandev scoring either side of Giampiero Pinzi's equaliser for a Udinese side who continue to struggle.
Juve also had to do it tough, emerging from their clash at Siena with a win by the same scoreline.
Andrea Pirlo gave the Bianconeri the lead with an early free-kick, but the Old Lady were pegged back in first-half stoppage time by Emanuele Calaio's equaliser.
However, the visitors refused to settle for the draw and secured all three points five minutes from time when Claudio Marchisio volleyed home the winner.
Away from the leaders, Walter Samuel lit the touchpaper on the fieriest of Milan derbies, and stood back as 10-man Inter Milan rode out a controversial 90 minutes to heap further woe on Massimiliano Allegri with a 1-0 win.
All eyes had been on Inter striker Antonio Cassano, who had switched sides at the San Siro before the start of the Serie A season, but it was veteran centre-back Samuel who won the game for the Nerazzurri with a headed goal in the third minute.
Riccardo Montolivo was denied the chance to restore parity courtesy of a controversial call from referee Paolo Valeri, but AC Milan only had themselves to blame for failing to capitalise when Yuto Nagatomo's dismissal put Inter on the back foot for much of the second half.
Roma bounced back from their 4-1 defeat to Juventus a week ago to pick up all three points at the expense of Atalanta in a 2-0 win at the Stadio Olimpico.
Erik Lamela and Michael Bradley got the goals as Zdenek Zeman's side responded to recent criticism to edge up the Serie A table.
Elsewhere, Stevan Jovetic's early goal earned Fiorentina a 1-0 victory at home to Bologna, while Catania made it another trip to Sicily to forget for 10-man Parma as goals from Alejandro Gomez and Gonzalo Bergessio sealed a comfortable 2-0 win.
Pescara's mini-revival was ended in emphatic fashion as Lazio ran out comfortable winners 3-0, with a Hernanes free-kick and a brace by Miroslav Klose sorting things out inside 35 minutes.
Finally, Ivo Pulga started started life in the Cagliari hot seat with a win - and a first of the season at that - as Nene's goal 16 minutes from time saw off Torino.
On Saturday, David Di Michele's late strike helped Eugenio Corini make a winning start to life as coach of Chievo, who ended a five-game losing streak with a 2-1 success over Sampdoria at the Stadio Bentegodi.
Corini replaced Domenico di Carlo earlier this week, although it seemed like he may have to settle for a point in his first match when Samp midfielder Enzo Maresca scored direct from a free-kick after Cyril Thereau had given the Flying Donkeys a half-time lead.
But Di Michele tried his luck from distance and Sampdoria keeper Sergio Romero made a hash of his attempt to keep it out, gifting Chievo victory three minutes from time.
Gian Piero Gasperini made an emotional return to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Palermo's 1-1 draw at former club Genoa.
Gasperini had led Il Grifone into the Europa League in 2009, spending over four years at the club, and he looked to be on course for three points when Luigi Giorgi put Palermo ahead in the 14th minute.
Marco Borriello rescued a share of the spoils for Genoa seven minutes after the interval.

Mr. Speaker, along the same line there has been plenty of rhetoric from the Reform Party about B.C. Let us look at some of the facts.
In 1998-99 transfers to British Columbia by the federal government will exceed $3.3 billion. This will account for 16% of B.C.'s estimated revenues. That works out to $825 per person.
The lowest interest rates in years means that B.C. has saved $340 million over the last three years. By increasing the cash floor component to the Canada health and social transfer, B.C. will get an additional $920 million over six years. On the infrastructure program, $277 million for B.C.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to clarify the position of this government once again with regard to the recommendations made to the honourable Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
The minister has stated on several occasions, as I have in this House, that the recommendations made by the review committee are simply recommendations. They were not made by the government and are not carved in stone. The minister took these recommendations straight to Canadians herself to get a firsthand account of their concerns and views.
I remind this House this is the first time a minister has conducted her own consultations and involved the public to such a degree. After consulting with Canadians the minister reiterated that we are not bound by any of the 172 recommendations, that language requirement is too excessive and we will not go that route.
I have spoken with constituents in my twin riding of North Vancouver and they have clearly stated that although our system of immigration does need changes, installing the suggested language recommendation is not one of them. I do not believe we can be any clearer on this issue.

Mr. Speaker, the Reform Party is out of touch with the real concerns of the people of British Columbia. This party came to Ottawa promising to be constructive and to do politics differently. Instead, it has engaged in negative, divisive antics that have nothing to do with helping average Canadians. Canadians in British Columbia and elsewhere are concerned with maintaining and improving our health care system while Reformers worry about whether or not they can have a flag on their desk.
While this government sets the course for lower taxes, reduced debt and improved social programs, Reformers spend their time in Ottawa trying to start fist fights in the Chamber and slinging mud at the Prime Minister during their time in question period.
British Columbians want more than pandering to cheap politics from their representatives. They want someone who will bring jobs to their communities and someone who reflects their daily concerns. Subsequently I urge British Columbians to remember this when they cast their ballot next week—

Mr. Speaker, all Canadian families need tax relief. However, the government's tax credits discriminate against some families. The government will only give certain tax credits to families with both parents working outside the home. Is this fair?
I represent a rural riding where a third of the farms have both husband and wife running the operation. Statistics Canada says 42% of women provide their own child care. Interestingly enough, a recent poll said 77% of parents would prefer to have provided parental care instead of day care if they could do it all over again.
The Reform Party's family friendly budget would increase family wealth and it would allow parents the freedom to raise their family the way they chose.

Yet again the task of speaking out for the real interests of British Columbians falls to the province's Liberal members. Together they worked for measures in this last budget that directly benefited the provinces such as tax relief that will benefit over 92% of all B.C. taxpayers.

The response of the Reform Party has been a partisan call to unite the right in this country. Instead of a call to unite the right it should be a call to unite federalist parties and unite this country around common goals that all Canadians can feel at home in Canada. That should be the goal.
I call on all our colleagues to work toward that common ground for all Canadian people.
At the provincial level, there is already a process under way to ensure Canadian unity that led to the Calgary declaration. Public hearings were held and they were well attended.

Mr. Speaker, in 1998, 1.3 billion people in the developing countries, or one-third of their population, are barely surviving, on less than a dollar a day. Every day, 34,000 children die of malnutrition and disease.
In light of these statistics, and in order to eradicate poverty, the Canadian Council for International Cooperation, in conjunction with some 100 organizations working in this area, has launched a campaign under the theme "In common". The goal of the campaign is to enhance the political and public desire to eradicate poverty in the world.
When will the Minister of International Co-operation take some notice of this human distress? Instead of cutting funding for international aid, as was done in the latest budget, the government ought to be following the example of the CCIC and its partners.
Our congratulations to the Canadian Council for International Co-operation and its partners for this fine, and constructive, initiative.

Mr. Speaker, the bill transforming the present old age pension into the seniors benefit will bring about a drop in available income for most retired persons and a loss of ground for women. What is more, 40% of workers have only public pension plans when they retire.
The AFEAS has been stoutly defending women seniors so as to ensure them of a decent retirement and to enable them to retain what they have acquired after many a long struggle. The public pension plans are essential if the majority of women are to enjoy a decent retirement.
The AFEAS is calling for the principle of individuality to be respected, for there to be a universal basic benefit and tax measures to enhance available income for the least well-off and to provide a tax break for the middle class, which has been crushed by the present government's taxation policies.
The AFEAS is therefore calling upon the Minister of Finance to reflect its recommendations in this new bill.

Mr. Speaker, it seems that Reform MPs from B.C. have been so star struck by the paparazzi and glamour surrounding the visit of Prince Charles and his sons to B.C. that the usual political hyperbole has risen to new hysterical heights.
Yesterday in his statement in the House the member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca said the government uses health care as a political football to look good instead of putting patients first and giving politics a back seat.
The fact is the first reinvestment we made when our books were in reasonable order was in health care, raising the cash floor on transfers by $1.5 billion. As well, this last budget made real commitments in the areas of home care and medical research. That is what leadership is all about.
To date the people of British Columbia await one concrete suggestion from B.C. Reformers that would actually help them in terms of the health care system.
I have one thing to say. Go, Lou, go.

Mr. Speaker, on the issue of compensation for hepatitis C victims, I would like to quote what the Minister of Health said. "I do not think victims' claims should be bogged down for 10, 12 or 15 years before the courts." That is exactly what the Liberal compensation plan is going to do.
I would like one of the Liberal members who is proud of this record to stand and tell me why Liberals are going to let half the victims go through the courts for fair justice.

Skip to comments.Bristol man who shot neighbor's dog charged with felony animal cruelty
Posted on 08/01/2012 6:29:04 PM PDT by AlmaKing
BRISTOL A 5-year-old dog is recovering from a gunshot wound above his right eye and a local man is being charged with felony animal cruelty after shooting the dog on its owner's lawn last week, police said.
Michael Nelson, 36, a resident of Pike's Point Road, has been charged with cruelty to animals, a Class B felony punishable by 3½ to 7 years in jail, and criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, for shooting named Australian shepherd mix named Tucker.
Tucker, who is owned by Michael and Lynne Furey, Pasadena, Md., and who were staying at their summer cottage several houses down from Nelson's home, is recovering from a gunshot wound above the right eye, the bullet left the skull through his right ear and then hit the dog's rear right toe, said Lynne Furey.
The dog is suffering from a neurological problem and has trouble keeping its balance, Furey said. The toe also had to be amputated.
Nelson, who was not reachable for comment, told police that he was acting in self-defense when he shot the dog on the Furey's lawn at about 3:30 p.m. Friday as the Fureys and several friends sat inside their home, according to Detective Sgt. Timothy Woodward.
He claimed it was self-defense, that the dog had come to his yard and wouldn't stop barking, so he chased the dog to the owner's home and pulled out his gun, and shot the dog in the head, Woodward said.
Nelson legally owned the gun, a 9 mm pistol, Woodward said. But police charged him with a felony after the investigation showed his actions were not warranted.
If his life had been threatened or even minimally in danger, it might have been justified, Woodworth said. If this was a 100-pound Rottweiler, you might be able to understand it. But this was a 50-55 pound dog. He could have taken any number of other actions.
The Fureys, who don't know Nelson, said they were sitting with friends at different sides of the house when they heard Tucker barking, and then heard a gunshot, Lynne Furey said.
My husband came from one side of the house and I came from the other, and we see this man with a gun and our dog is rolling around in a pool of blood, she said. Of course we thought he was dying.
Nelson looked at the Fureys and told them to call the police. He said, 'I just shot your dog,' she said. He said something like, 'he was coming for me so I shot him.'
The Fureys rushed Tucker to an animal hospital in Plymouth. It was recommended that the dog be taken to a Boston veterinary hospital, where his toe was amputated.
He is still having a neurological disorder as the result of the gunshot wound, but is expected to make a full recovery in the coming months, Lynne Furey said.
The couple is still shocked by the shooting, though. He followed my dog with a loaded gun to our private property and shot him, she said.
" He claimed it was self-defense, that the dog had come to his yard and wouldn't stop barking, so he chased the dog to the owner's home and pulled out his gun, and shot the dog in the head "
This idjit should suffer a similar fate .
Possible prison for shooting an animal? At most, it is a fine for damaging somebody's property. In this case, the property was harassing the guy, so he took care of the business. A bit excessive in my book, however. So, a fine is good in this case.
Dogs bark . Call the owner before shooting .
"Dogs bark . Call the owner before shooting ."
Dogs bark... and bite, as well. So, take care of the potential threat, then call the owner to pick up the mess.
This time, based on the description, the guy was a bit too anxious to get rid of the dog. The guy should have shot the dog when it was on his property.
Before anyone flames me, I do love dogs of all kinds.
"I do love dogs of all kinds."
Yum, stir or deep fried?
Quick, have him become a cop. Make it all well and good!!!
I'm from the South. Deep fried is preferable, where you can't tell if it's dog or an oyster.
A lot of towns in NH have leash laws...is Bristol one of them? The animal should have been on a leash if he was off the owner's property...following it then shooting it was out of bounds, but the dog shouldn't have been loose in the first place.
Call the owner . Guy's like this arse give the left more ammo for taking our guns .
Call the owner . Guys
like this arse give the left more ammo for taking our guns .
With property (dog) comes responsibility (leash). An unleashed dog is a hazard to anyone. A barking mad dog needs to be put down.
There a couple of towns in NH that consider a dog 'leashed' if it is opn the owner's property 'under the owner's command'...WTF? Yeah...'under the owner's control' until the dog sees a cat...'leash' means 'leash' where I come from...
"like this arse give the left more ammo for taking our guns ."
The left does not need more "ammo" to disarm the population. They are motivated enough A:READY by the thought of docile and willing population that is unwilling to use their guns when necessary.
At least this guy used his gun to defend himself/family/property from an out of control dog. If everybody uses their guns responsibly and frequently, nobody would be daring to take away guns.
"A right not exercised is a right lost."
If his life had been threatened or even minimally in danger, it might have been justified, (Detective Sgt. Timothy) Woodworth said. If this was a 100-pound Rottweiler, you might be able to understand it. But this was a 50-55 pound dog. He could have taken any number of other actions.
Oh, the irony.....
Apparently YOUR property was violating Mr. Nelson's private property...I see the dog owners are from 'out of state'. This is getting to be a real problem for old-time NH residents who have their private property rights violated on a daily basis. NY'ers and Massh*les routinely trespass to go berry picking, camping, shoot off fireworks, or whatever without giving any thought to the fact that they might be on someone's property. There is a simmering anger building...
Seriously. I saw all kinds of quotes like that that Freepers love to battle over.
The dog could not have been THAT viscious if he chased it out of the yard .
Also charged with impersonating an officer.
Where the hell did I say that? Where did I ever imply that? People need to respect the property rights of landowners...simple as that. Just because they are 'bringing money to our community', I am to allow them access to my property whenever they deem it necessary? I don't think so.
"The dog could not have been THAT viscious if he chased it out of the yard."
The level of viciousness cannot be determined based on the distance and direction traveled by an irrational creature. Dogs pounce and then retreat all the time. And they continue to run when they start running.
Incapacitating the dog might have been necessary, because it might have turned back and attacked the guy.
There is serious animosity between NH and MA residents.
I hate it when they come up here. Their behavior on the roads and at the tourist attractions brings the animosity on themselves.
Witness the MA cop who came up here for a minor league game, then got fired for yelling racist slurs in a family environment. Turns out he had a long history of that behavior.
MA residents aren't welcome here, and they know it.
Cops kill dogs all the time without punishment, yet, a peasant shoots a dog and the King goes nuts?
It's the NY imports in my area...'f' this and 'm-f' that in a LOUD voice so ALL the neighbors can hear...just like back in the 'city'. They do this in front of their own children, as well...
You could always shoot them.
Meanwhile, where are we at with the San Antonio cop who left two K9 dogs to die in his vehicle?
Nobody is advocating going straight to deadly force to solve problems. I didn't see any poster say that. Expressing frustration is the pastime of FR. But, Freepers don't take the next step in regards to violence. I just don't see that.
You're defending the "right" of this effing no impulse control, dumb felon-to-be to invade someone's private property and shoot their dog because their dog was barking??? Then you inject "mad" to justify putting the dog down??? I expect that this ahole will be convicted and will serve substantial time and as a felon will never again be able to own a firearm. Had this barking mad nutcase come onto my property and and threatened my life by shooting my dog, I would have justifiably put the SOB down on the spot.
and please, cut the prissy moralities.
This is the most ignorant post I've seen on FR all day.
Dogs are not mere property, they're valued and love3d members of the family......and if this asshat had shot my dog, prison would have been the least of his worries.
I can remember as a kid that I had several dogs on my paper route that would come running out and try to bite me. I corrected the situation by wearing a good set of boots and a squirt gun filled with ammonia. A squirt to the face and a quick kick solved the problem. Most of the dogs would subsequently race towards me, but abruptly stop at their property line. Didn't have to shoot a single dog or owner.
Just curious - Have you ever had a dog you loved?
Ping to a fellow JRT owner with strong opinions. :)
IMHO this guy was waaay out of bounds. Nobody shoots my dog on my property. Talk to the owners, call the cops, whatever. Sounds like a nut.
"The guy should have shot the dog when it was on his property."
Maybe he didn't because it never *was*.
You have the word of a lunatic who shoots dogs in their own yard.
"'I just shot your dog,' she said. He said something like, 'he was coming for me so I shot him.'
He was "coming for him" as he "chased the dog home"?
That makes no sense at all.
Sounds like BS, IMO.
People who make comments like that need to be on leashes -- very short leashes.
Well then why don't you do what the dogshooter did -- chase them back to MA and shoot them.
I would rather give the benefit of the doubt to a human rather than a dog.
I don't care what the circumstances. Somebody shoots my dog and instant double-tap. Their relatives can tell me later why my dog was shot.
Of course you would.
Obviously, this nutcase is your kind of guy.
[one of the parties involved can lie and justify himself...the other party cannot speak or defend himself...how *convenient*]

Hi everyone,
I'm in my second year at Theological college and have just finished an intermediate Greek course where we were mostly translating Mark and John with a few bits of Paul thrown in. In Advanced Greek next year we will be mainly working through 2 Corinthians but there are a few months between the courses and I would like to use the time to get a bit more used to Paul's writing style (the few bits we have done so far have convinced me that it is something of a step up from Mark!). Ideally I would like to begin by working through one of the shorter letters, Are there any that you would recommend as a good way into Paul?
Thanks in advance! Rich

Behavior Facts
The BEHAVE program began about 25 years ago. When the project began, we didn't know how or even if ruminants learned about foods. Since that time we and others have discovered that learning is crucial to the survival and productivity of ruminants. Listed below are facts about how experience, social interactions, feedback, variety and learning affect diet and habitat selection of ruminants. Most of the facts were derived from research experiments with livestock. The number(s) listed at the end of each fact corresponds to a reference found at the end of this document, simply click on a number to display a reference. This list is not all encompassing and is a work in progress. If you have references that need to be added to our list or you find errors in this document please e-mail me, Beth Burritt, at email@example.com.
Exposure to foods early in life
Exposure to foods early in life (top)
1. Ruminants exposed to nutritious foods at six-weeks of age with their mothers remember those foods for at least three years. (4)
2. Ruminants exposed to poor-quality foods with their mothers during the first three months of life remember those foods for at least five years. (5)
3. Exposure to foods early in life can alter rumen size, rumen morphology and liver function. (1, 3, 112)
4. Ruminants reared in different environments have different food preferences. (14)
5. Young ruminants (less than six months of age) readily acquire preferences for unpalatable foods. (73)
6. Flavors in milk fed to nursing ruminants influence their food preferences later in life. (69)
7. Early exposure to flavors or foods early in life increase preferences for those foods or flavors later in life. (81, 82)
8. Lambs exposed to barley early in life reached slaughter condition more quickly than lambs not exposed to barley. (1, 2)
9. Ruminants must acquire foraging skills to forage efficiently. (7, 8, 9)
10. Foraging skills are specific to plant form. (10, 11)
11. Young naive ruminants spend more time foraging than mature experienced ruminants presumably because young ruminants have higher nutritional requirements and must acquire foraging skills. (109)
12. Ruminants are less likely to try new foods if experiences with new foods have been unpleasant in the past. (29, 59, 61)
13. Ruminants reared on low nitrogen diets early in life recycle nitrogen more efficiently than ruminants reared on nitrogen adequate diets. (12)
14. Ruminants exposed to poor-quality foods (straw, woody plants, etc.) early in life readily consume those foods later in life even when other foods are available. (3, 16)
15. Ruminants with positive experiences with nutritious high-toxin foods early in life will readily consume foods high in toxins even when nutritious low-toxin foods are available. (15)
16. Excessive exposure to toxins early in life may damage detoxification systems which in turn may cause ruminants to reduce consumption of plants containing that toxin later in life. (112)
Palatability - Preference (top)
1. Ruminants prefer familiar to novel foods. (17, 26, 28, 29, 30)
2. Ruminants form preferences for flavors paired with glucose rather than saccharin. (18)
3. Ruminants form preferences for flavors and foods paired with glucose rather than water. (74, 120)
4. Ruminants form preferences for flavors paired with starch rather than water. (19)
5. Ruminants form preferences for flavors paired with volatile fatty acids rather than water. (20, 21)
6. Ruminants form preferences for flavors paired with protein or nitrogen rather than water. (22)
7. Ruminants prefer hay cut in the afternoon rather than the morning, presumably due to higher sugar content of plant in the evening. (86)
8. Ruminants form stronger preferences for foods when feedback occurs soon after eating. (23)
9. Ruminants eating a meal of several familiar foods and one novel food associate changes in positive feedback with the novel food. (24, 99)
10. When odors are paired with positive feedback (nutrients), ruminants will increase intake of foods with these odors. (83)
11. Ruminants avoid foods paired with sodium when their sodium levels are adequate. (21)
12. Ruminants prefer to eat foods with similar rates of protein and energy degradation. (6, 46)
13. Ruminants are more likely to eat new foods if they contain familiar flavors. (27, 28, 99)
14. Ruminants are more likely to eat novel foods if they have positive experiences with novel foods. (27)
15. Ruminants are more likely to eat a new food in a familiar rather than an unfamiliar location. (26)
16. Ruminants reared on bland foods prefer foods with weak rather than strong flavors. (70, 80, 100)
17. Ruminants prefer either weak or strong flavors depending on their past experience (post-ingestive feedback) with the flavors. (100)
18. In most cases, ruminants select foods based on nutritional composition rather than intake rate. (106)
19. Ruminants will increase intake rates on highly fibrous, poor quality foods, like straw, if they receive a boost of nutrients when first exposed those foods. (58)
20. Preferences for foods change based on the nutrient status of the animal. (25, 87, 88)
21. Preferences for foods depend on the toxin status of the animal. (85)
22. The phosphorus status of an animal affects its diet selection. (108)
23. Hydrolyzed casein applied to plants reduces preference of those plants by deer. (89)
24. Ruminants can learn to consume medicines to alleviate illness. (55, 56, 57, 64, 104)
25. Feeding novels foods in familiar troughs increases acceptance of new foods. (123)
26. Familiarizing animals with any grain will increase the likelihood they will eat another grain. (125)
Palatability - Aversion (top)
1. Ruminants avoid foods because they cause food aversions not because they taste bad. (52, 71, 113)
2. Ruminants form aversions to foods that effect the emetic center in the brain and cause nausea. (39)
3. Lithium chloride is an effective agent to create aversions to foods in ruminants. (29, 60, 62)
4. Ruminants can be trained to avoid a palatable, nutritious, novel food (34, 60, 62)
5. Ruminants can form aversion to foods even when illness occurs up to 12 hours after eating the food. (30)
6. The strength of an aversion depends on the dose of the toxin. (59, 80)
7. Ruminants averted to a food avoid that food regardless of where the food is located. (110)
8. Ruminants exposed to an odor followed by a dose of lithium chloride avoid foods with that odor. (83, 84)
9. Ruminants that get sick on one new food are less likely to eat another new food. (29, 59, 61)
10. Ruminants form more persistent aversions to novel foods than to familiar foods. (31)
11. Ruminants averse to a food avoid other foods with similar flavors. (80, 84)
12. Food aversions breakdown when ruminants averse to a plant and ruminants that readily eat the plant forage together. (32)
13. Food aversions are more likely to breakdown when ruminants are foraging in unfamiliar environments where most of the available foods are novel. (26)
14. Food aversions breakdown more quickly when access to alternative foods is limited. (33, 67)
15. Ruminants often sample small amounts of foods that have made them sick in the past. (29)
16. Food aversions last can for years. (34, 61, 62)
17. Food aversions are more persistent in mature versus young ruminants. (67)
18. Food aversions can form even if animals are under anesthesia when illness occurs. (35)
19. Ruminants associate illness with:
a. novel foods. (30)
b. the food last eaten. (38)
c. the food eaten in greatest quantity within a meal. (37)
d. foods that made them ill in the past. (31)
20. Condensed tannins can cause food aversions. (52, 79)
21. Excessive nutrients, such as sodium propionate or acetate, can cause food aversions in ruminants. (20, 74)
Eating foods high in toxins (top)
1. Ruminants can regulate intake of most toxins to avoid poisoning. (36, 71, 72, 73, 85)
2. The nutritional composition of the diets influences ingestion of different toxins. (95, 105)
3. When alternative foods are unavailable, hungry ruminants are more likely to try a new food high in toxins than ruminants that are well-fed. (73, 95)
4. As the nutritional quality of a diet declines, ruminants that are nutrient deprived are less able to detoxify toxins in foods and are less likely to eat foods high in toxins when alternative foods are available. (95)
5. Starving animals are more likely to choose to eat foods low toxins even if high energy foods that contain toxins are available. (76)
6. Ruminants in low body condition have higher levels of toxins in their blood after eating a poisonous plant compare with ruminants in average body condition. (114)
7. Ruminants are more likely to eat toxins in nutritious foods than in less nutritious foods. (95)
8. When ruminants are first exposed to a food containing a toxin, they form a stronger preference for toxins paired with a high-quality foods versus low-quality foods. (77, 103)
9. Toxins infused into the blood of a ruminant cause it to stop eating (satiety). (78)
10. Ruminants fed a high-protein supplement or a choice between a high protein and high energy supplement ate more high tannin food than ruminants offered a high-energy supplement or no supplement. (105)
11. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) increases consumption of high tannin foods. (64, 79, 96, 97, 98, 104,105)
12. Stock density and therefore availability of alternative forages affects acceptance and intake of new foods high in toxins (terpenes). (94)
13. Supplemental energy can help ruminants ingest more of a toxin. (85)
14. Supplemental energy and protein increases the palatability of forages with terpenes such as sagebrush. (53, 54, 107)
15. The energy and protein content of the diet affects intake of foods high in toxins (terpenes). (101, 107)
16. When eating diets high in sagebrush (terpenes), ruminants prefer to eat foods with carbohydrates that digest slowly (beet pulp) to those with rapidly digestible carbohydrates (barley). (102)
17. Ingestion of toxin-containing plants by ruminants influences their selection of other plant species. (102)
18. Ruminants on a high or moderate plane of energy will voluntarily ingest more lithium chloride than ruminants on a poor plane of nutrition. (76)
Variety (top)
1. Ruminants may eat a variety of foods to meet nutritional needs. (49)
2. Ruminants may eat a variety of foods to avoid toxins. (44)
3. Ruminants prefer to eat a variety of foods even when nutritional needs are met and toxins don't limit intake. (48, 87)
4. In many instances when consuming foods high in toxins, ruminants can eat more if they eat a variety of foods that contain different toxins. (44, 90, 92)
5. Ruminants eating a diet high in energy prefer foods high in protein and vice versa. (75, 88)
6. Ruminants are more likely to eat novel food that complements their basal ration. In other words, ruminants fed a diet high in energy are more likely to eat a novel food high in protein and vice versa. (75)
7. Ruminants forced to eat a flavored diet for a day prefer a diet with an alternate flavor the following day. (45, 46, 75)
8. Ruminants eating diets excessive or low in energy have a stronger preference for the alternate flavor than ruminants eating a balanced diet. (46)
9. Cost per pound of gain is lower in ruminants given an appropriate choice of foods than ruminants fed a nutritionally balanced total mixed ration. (47, 93)
10. Ruminants of similar age, sex, breed and background prefer different levels of energy and protein. (49)
11. Activated charcoal increased consumption of shrubs by sheep and goats when they were offered a limited number of shrubs (one to three species) but not when they were offered six shrub species. (90)
12. Tannins and saponins may be complementary toxins. (92)
Social (top)
1. Young ruminants learn about foods efficiently from their mothers. (40, 41, 66, 121, 122)
2. Lambs exposed to grain for five days with their mothers ate seven times more grain than lambs exposed to grain alone for eight weeks. (124)
3. Food preferences formed in the presence of the mother lasted longer than those formed alone. (82)
4. Young ruminants can learn about foods from other members of the group. (40)
5. Six to eight-week-old lambs learn about foods more efficiently from their mothers than eleven to twelve-week-old lambs. (42, 66)
6. Ruminants refuse to eat foods that makes them sick even if their mother eats the foods. (50)
7. Young ruminants avoid foods their mothers avoid because of food novelty not because their mothers avoid the foods. (68)
8. Ruminants prefer to forage with companions rather than strangers. (43)
9. Herd mates tend to stay together but maintain their food preferences when foraging in familiar environments but food preferences tend to breakdown when herd mates forage together unfamiliar environments. (91)
10. Younger ruminants are more likely to try new foods than older ruminants.
Habitat (top)
1. Cattle and sheep have home ranges. (51, 63)
2. Ruminants prefer the same habitats as their mothers. (13, 63, 117)
3. Ruminants prefer to forage in locations that contain needed nutrients or supplements. (87, 88, 98)
4. Ruminants prefer to forage in areas with foods in a variety of flavors provided nutritional needs are met. (87)
5. Ruminants can be trained using proper herding techniques to minimize grazing in riparian areas and increase grazing in the uplands. (111)
6. Supplements, like low moisture block, can change animal distribution and increase consumption of poor-quality forage. (65)
7. Ruminants avoid locations that resulted in electric shock but shock does not condition a food aversion. Likewise, ruminants will avoid foods that made them ill in the past but not the location of those foods. (110)
8. Ruminants use both visual cues and spatial memory (no visual cues) to track food locations, but they foraged more efficiently when visual cues were present. (115)
9. Ruminants generalize positive feeding consequences associated with a visual cue from the pen to the field. (116)
10. Ruminants trained to associate visual cues with positive feeding experiences were lured to new foraging locations using those cues but whether animals chose to remain at the new location depended on other behavioral influences. (116)
11. Ruminants can remember foraging locations that contain nutritious foods. (118)
12. Breed of sire affected foraging location of offspring. (117)
13. Ruminants select forage patches based on nutritional quality of the patch. (119)
14. In gentle terrain, ruminants preferred to graze near water during the heat of the day but further from water in the morning and evening. (119)

Residents at mercy of windy weather
Chicago may be the "windy city," but Lawrence had it's fair share of strong gusts on Monday as well.

It's the kind of support rarely seen whenever a voting booth is involved: More than 92 percent of the school budgets passed in annual elections held April 16.
That's a good start for the handful of districts in New Jersey that have chosen not to move elections to November under a law that went into effect in 2011.
Initial reports show that budgets passed in 36 out of 39 districts which have opted to continue the practice of April school elections. More good news is that it appears that 12 of the 14 known NJEA members on the ballot were victorious.
The bad news is that budgets failed in Belleville (Essex), North Bergen (Hudson), and Edison (Middlesex).
These results are preliminary and will not become official until all mail-in ballots are in and the elections have been certified by county clerks. The process could take up to a month.
Still, these initial reports indicate remarkable support for local public school districts. In addition to the high rate of passage for base budgets, voters in these districts also backed all second questions and construction plans.
It's a message that resonates from 2011, the last year before the new law supported by NJEA allowed annual school elections to be moved to the general election in November. That's when school budgets passed overwhelmingly at a statewide average of nearly 80 percent—almost doubling the disastrous passage rate of the previous year when Gov. Christie urged residents to vote down budgets to protest high property taxes.
This year, the bulk of New Jersey's communities—more than 500—will hold their school elections in November. Under the new law, when school elections are moved from April to November, the requirement to put the budget to a vote is eliminated—as long as the budget remains under the statutory 2 percent revenue cap. However, any portion of a budget proposal that exceeds the cap must be put on the November ballot as a separate question.
School board candidate elections also will move for any district that opts to hold November elections. As with April elections, candidates would not be listed by political affiliation.
