Animal-Ethics Isues Featured in Weeks News
Animals-Ethics Issues Featured in Week's News
May 2nd, 2011 • Posted in: News
Virtual dog-fighting game remains for sale despite plea from police union; experts differ on whether studies of captive dolphins are productive and necessary; academic ethics journal says the word "pet" is derogatory
LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK
News about animals and morality earned several headlines last week. Among the stories:
- A virtual dog-fighting game was pulled from sale but later reinstated on the popular Android Marketplace application sales site, reports the Los Angeles Times. The head of the Los Angeles police union had urged Google, which oversees the site, to take down the app, saying it simulates a "repulsive and sickening" practice that in real life would be a felony in every U.S. state. Google did not immediately respond to questions about whether the game would remain available for download and said it was taken down temporarily because of a trademark issue , reports the Times. The app's maker insisted it was meant to educate the public on the evils of animal cruelty.
- There's growing controversy about whether it's ethical to study dolphins that are kept in captivity. Science Magazine, which hosted and archived an online chat featuring opposing experts, reports that some researchers maintain that studying the minds of dolphins can lend insight into both medical and behavioral issues of humans. Opponents, such as Emory University biopsychologist Lori Marino says preventing animal suffering should take a higher priority than "esoteric" research questions.
- A new academic journal says it is wrong to call your dog or cat a "pet," reports the Week. The Journal of Animal Ethics, a publication of the Oxford Center for Animal Ethics and the University of Illinois, says "pet" is a derogatory word that encourages poor treatment of animals. The proper word, says the journal, is "companion animal."
In an interesting category of ethics comes video games with titles such as Grand Theft Auto and Mob Wars. This time it involves dog fighting using the latest video game technology. This type of game clearly violates ethical laws in the United States and it is a wonder the game is still for sale on platforms such as the latest Android Smartphones. Something that so blatantly violates so many moral and ethical ground should clearly not be allowed to be sold or distributed and is currently under review. It is also alarming that a new academic journal states it is wrong to call your cat or dog a pet.

ATLANTA (AP) - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has announced state police and Green County Sheriff's officials arrested a 29-year-old Decatur man on a child sex trafficking charge.
Authorities say police stopped Jonthanon Nathaniel Kelly, who was speeding along Interstate 20 in Crawfordville, and saw a 17-year-old girl from Birmingham, Ala. riding in the passenger's seat of his vehicle. Authorities say the unidentified girl told a deputy she was being held against her will for sexual purposes.
Police contacted the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and learned the girl had been bought and sold for sexual purposes in four states since she was 12.
The girl was turned over to the Department of Family and Children's services for medical treatment. It is unclear when Kelly was arrested or if he has a lawyer.

"I bought these to label my daughter's birthday favors. I have not used them yet, but they are a well made product and I bought the matching invitation. They feel like good quality stickers and look beautiful."
"Excellent quality - make simple presents look more elegant and saves time as no card necessary for all of the nursery school party gifts."
"I used these on the Valentine's my daughter took to school for her friends. They were great. I sealed all her little gift bags with the sticker. It made things so easy and adorable. They are darling!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I ordered these w/the phrase, "Bring Pampers for a chance to be pampered!", as an incentive for my guests to bring a pack of diapers along w/their gift for a chance to be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate to a local nail spa. It was the perfect finishing touch!"

city council will keep mulling a city ordinance that would
relegate adult entertainment businesses to manufacturing
zones, after a packed public hearing couldnt come
up with whose backyard to put them in.
Before the August 27 public hearing, Blaine city planner Terry Galvin urged council to pass the proposed ordinance that could give the city a way to legally drive pornographyentertainment out of downtown. The issue is what is defensible in court, city attorney Jon Sitkin said. We are offering reasonable options. Too few options will seem constrained to the courts.
The proposal would establish an adult entertainment overlay in two areas: close to 19 acres, owned by eight parties, between Portal Way and I-5 and 26 acres south of Pipeline Road owned by one family. Sex-related businesses could move into these areas but would need to be at least 1000 feet from schools and residences, at least 500 feet from each other and would need to meet landscaping and signage requirements. Galvin said the proposed areas could accommodate 17 possible locations, and offered reasonable access to the public and adequate infrastructure - the basics if the ordinance were to stand up in court.
The new law would require existing businesses to close or move within a year, with the possibility of extensions if the company showed their income couldnt cover the move. The Blaine Book Company on Peace Portal Drive is now the only adult entertainment business in Blaine, and many audience members felt getting it off Peace Portal Drive wasnt worth creating a potential porn zone south of town.
Leave it where it is, let it die a natural death, said Blaine resident Rhonda Bresnan. Keeping it in a hidden area is not a good choice. Ernst Hartl, one of the property owners in the Portal Way area, said the city proposal endangered families and businesses nearby. I see buses with school kids going by, he said. I will not sell my property to this kind of business.
Mary Rankin, an owner of the Blackberry House downtown, felt that one neighborhood shouldnt suffer to clean up another. The city should continue to be on good terms with existing businesses as well as court new businesses, she said.
I think were better off keeping this in the central business district. council member Frank Bresnan Jr. said. This is not a step in the right direction. Its going to take a huge effort by a lot of people to improve downtown. I dont think that bookstore is our sole problem, he said
Several speakers felt the citys best course of action was to pursue collecting fines from the bookstore. Keep pressure on to get the fines collected, said Al Dahl. Last June the company was ordered to pay $33,000 in penalties with $13,000 suspended for repeatedly violating the citys standards for adult businesses. So far, none has been collected but Sitkin said Monday that Blaine has received direction from Superior Court to pursue collection of those fines immediately.
Only one person spoke in support of the rezone. Previous council member Alma Wagner said it was time for the city to take action and stop waiting. This has been a long time coming, Wagner said.
Charles Gibson said the city had the right intentions, but might be going about it the wrong way.
We all appreciate the work thats gone into this, but Ive got questions for and against it, he said. We dont want to create an effective back door where these businesses can hide from the public eye. Gibson felt the community wanted to see action directed at the existing adult business first. The agressive collection of fines is an important step, he said. There are also a lot of different regulations not being enforced that could be.
Given the volume of public testimony, council opted to continue accepting input until Friday, August 31, and revisit the issue at their next scheduled meeting, September 10. They will discuss it further, review input and either approve it, amend it or reject it, Galvin said..

So here it stands.. waiting for some "simpson" brackets to hold the floor on a little bit better.. then the plywood floor needs to go up. Still need to decide what to to for a floor hatch-way.
So here it stands.. waiting for some "simpson" brackets to hold the floor on a little bit better.. then the plywood floor needs to go up. Still need to decide what to to for a floor hatch-way.
So now.. how do you get an 8′x8′ studded floor up on top of this? Roland's answer.. a purple sky hook. I'm not sure you can see the details in this small photo.. but.. I'm on the ladder (bad spot).. my help is at the base on each corner.. they have a rope on each top corner to guide the floor. If you can tell.. there is a third rope, attached to a pulley at the top of the tower.. then to the *bottom* of the floor (or lowest edge). The rope is all behind the floor, the other end of the rope heads back out to the trusty Jeep.. my wife, under a stern voice, drove the Jeep.. pulling the floor up to the top of the tower. I was squashed just a bit in between the floor and the ladder.. but Dwayne scampered quickly up the tower (somehow) and helped pull the floor up and over the edge. (one stringer at a time).
WOW.. here are some solid anchors.. the guy at NH Bragg really wanted me to use some super heavy stuff.. and twice as many as I wanted to or even had room for. I used 3″x12″ 3/16″ steel, at a 90 degree for the bottom braces. A 5/8″ concrete anchor was used to hold it all down.
We added in the horizontal braces before tightening the cable ropes. This helped take most of the wobble out of the tower.
So we added large eye bolts to the face plates on the bottom side only.. this was enough to take out the remaining slack and taut the cable.
The tower was "twisting" or cork-screwing quite a bit.. so to tighten things up a bit.. we added 7×19, 1/4″ cable rope. An "X" on each face. All the drilling was for the angle iron we used as face plate connectors.
..of drilling holes in angle iron and fabricated leg supports.
Added… nothing fancy here.. some 2×4′s lagged in to add floor support.
This is the floor.. a 2×4 wall laying on its side… [shrug] Trying to save on weight and money..
The third leg was wrestled over the top of the 1st & 2nd legs, with the cross support previously attached.. now, here we bolt on the 4th leg.

U of S Researcher Named Einstein Professor by Chinese Academy of Sciences
|John Giesy
University of Saskatchewan toxicologist John Giesy has been named an Einstein Professor by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), a distinction reserved for research leaders with the potential to win Nobel and other international science awards.
The distinction is awarded annually to up to 20 distinguished international professors who are leaders in their respective fields. The Einstein Professor Program aims to enhance the training of strategic science and technology experts and talented senior scientific leaders and to strengthen Chinese scientists' contacts and exchanges with top scientists throughout the world.
Giesy, Canada Research Chair in Environmental Toxicology, is a world-renowned eco-toxicologist who specializes in "green chemistry"—the field of identifying man-made pollutants that are harmful to the environment and then designing safer alternatives.
Giesy and his team created a fast and inexpensive method to test for endocrine disruptors in the environment, a test put forward for adoption as an international standard by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
As of 2007, Giesy was the second most frequently cited author worldwide over the previous 10 years in the combined fields of ecology and environment. He is widely published with more than 650 peer-reviewed articles and seven authored books on his resume. His research has attracted more than $75 million from local, national and international agencies and organizations.
Giesy has worked closely with colleagues in China for more than 15 years and is currently a senior advisor to the Chinese State Environmental Protection Agency.
He will conduct a CAS-organized lecture tour in China, sharing his expertise with top scientists, researchers and graduate students in China. The tour will include stops at City University of Hong Kong and Peking University, among others.
The knowledge transfer goes both ways, says Giesy, professor with the veterinary biomedical sciences department and the Toxicology Centre. "We have been sending our post-doctoral fellows and graduate students to China to participate in these programs for international experience and they are sending students, faculty and post-docs to the U of S. Both Chinese and Canadian scientists are getting a great deal out of it."
Giesy was the U.S. co-chair of a U.S.-Sino bilateral agreement between the U.S. National Academy of Science and CAS to address environmental issues, and he's starting to see the impact of this work in China. "One of the outcomes of those meetings was the development of a lot of trust, and now environmental NGOs (non-governmental organizations) are allowed in China. Before 2005, they were not."
Because of China's size, its environment has a significant global impact and Giesy says he can make more of a difference on Canada's environment by working in China. "When I came to the U of S, it was decided that part of my effort would be directed at China. So goes China, so goes the world in many ways, including the environment."
Located in the heart of Saskatoon, the University of Saskatchewan is one of the leading medical doctoral universities in Canada. With 58 degrees, diplomas and certificates in over 100 areas of study, the University is uniquely positioned in the areas of human, animal and plant studies. World-class research facilities, renowned faculty and award winning students make the U of S a leader in post-secondary education.

VIRGINIA BEACH— A Virginia Beach teenager is working to honor the victims of the Connecticut elementary school shooting.
Maddie Dubinsky has started a movement to remember the lives lost. She's asking local families to put stars on their windows.
"I want the victims' families to see that stars are up for them."
Dubinsky's mother Susan is proud of her daughter's idea.
"If it were my child that it had happened to, I would hope other people would remember and honor the memory of my child."
Friday, a gunman killed 20 children and six adults inside Sandy Hooks Elementary school.
Investigators say the killer, Adam Lanza, murdered his mother before the massacre. Lanza eventually killed himself.
The tragedy has touched people around world and across the nation. On Facebook, people posted stars on their walls to remember those lost.
Dubinksi took the act a little further, calling families to put stars on their windows at home. She hopes it will send a positive message. "That even though this is a tragedy, there is some love in the world."

Firefighters Climb Stairs in Lancaster to Honor Heroes of 9/11
More than 100 firefighters gathered at Clipper Magazine Stadium Sunday to pay tribute to the firefighters and other first responders who lost their lives on 9/11.
In the second year of the Lancaster 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, organizers say they raised more than $3,000 for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The organization works to preserve the memories of those who made the ultiamte sacrifice and help their families to cope.
"It's a very close-knit brotherhood and sisterhood. And, when one passes on, especially in the line of duty, it affects you because you could be the next one," said Scott Yuill, a member of committee which hosts the event.
Many of the firefighters wore their gear and climbed up and down every step at the stadium five times.
In addition to reflecting on the 9/11 attacks, people in attendance also took time to remember the 10 firefighters who died in the line of duty in Pennsylvania since last year's stair climb.
They include firefighter Brandon Little, of Adams County, and Lt. Keith Rankin, of Lancaster Township.
Little died in a car crash while on his way to an emergency call. Rankin suffered a heart attack during training.
Yuill says the majority of line-of-duty deaths among firefighters happen in similar cicrumstances, not in fires.
"It's from a heart attack or car accident or apparatus accident, and that's how the majority of firefighters die. So, there are initiatives out there to try to reduce that," said Yuill.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

In this extensive post Mike Hatfield shares new features and changes in the design of Alfresco Share's Document Library. I am especially happy that there are quite some features that will make customizing the Document Library easier. Currently you need to copy a lot of files and do stuff in multiple files in order to do customizations that are easy to do in the old Explorer interface.
For custom actions it looks like you still need to code the evaluator in Java. I have no problem with coding in Java, but I never understood this part. You can write custom actions in JavaScript, but in order to control when the action is active you need to write some Java.

Experience and Education is not just for the prospective employer to evaluate - its something for you to consider as you review your own value and consider what to do with it.
My son started his first job yesterday. I did my best to hold in the excitement and fear and awe I was experiencing, and just kept it to sound and reasonable advice – and a "just the facts Ma'am" tone. I mean, consider the alternative...me whipping out the camera and taking a photo of him with his new boss...it ran through my brain I assure you.
Walking him through the whole application process, interview tips and advice, what to wear, say, do...I thought back to my first job, the horrid uniform, the awkwardness of learning new things; the lessons from those Salad Bar/Hostess days are ones I still consider in my work today – work ethic, customer service, dependability, and that I look terrible in Maroon.
My son won't always be a dishwasher (This is me praying) – this job will not be his last and is certainly not his passion –it's the work of the inexperienced. As we gain value through experience and education, we have a right and a responsibility to align ourselves with work we both love and feel productive in – to find work that rewards us financially and interests us enough to enjoy the workday, much more often than not.
The risk is – in my opinion - worth the reward...and the reward of doing work you enjoy is enormous, with untold ramifications: Happier home life, stronger self confidence, positive role modelling for future generations, less stress, better balance, richer financial reward (as oft comes from developing a passion with energy and hard work) – its endless really.
I know I am one of the lucky few who enjoys her work– there are so many who do not...if I had my way I'd love to see everyone realigned into work that both suited their passions and their financial needs. Perhaps I'm naive to think it's possible or just a little stubborn...but I believe we all can do and be what we choose to do and be. Clearly its not easy, or we'd see more people excited to get to work, but what if it were easy? What would you be doing now if it was easy to choose work that thrilled you?

UNDATED (WSAU) Wisconsin Republicans say they'll support a study on how mental health issues affect gun violence – but they'll refuse to limit people's access to the guns themselves. While Congress and other states consider gun control measures, there's been very little talk among lawmakers in Madison to do something.
Senate Republican Glenn Grothman of West Bend, a member of the N-R-A, said he'd be surprised if his G-O-P majority passes anything this session to restrict gun access. President Obama has cited last summer's killings of six people at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek as a reason to ban assault rifles and high-capacity magazines, and make all gun buyers undergo standard background checks – private sales included. Senate Democrat Fred Risser of Madison says he's working on a package similar to Obama's, plus a ban on weapons in certain parts of the State Capitol.
He expects to have the package ready in a few days. Risser said it might take several terms to get his proposals passed. He said a bill sometimes quote, "just has to be introduced over and over again before the timing is right."

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
Six men are facing felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized 907 pounds of marijuana, worth $4,117,780, along with $13,908 in currency, during two related traffic stops in Wood County.
A trooper working the Ohio Turnpike observed a rented 2014 Subaru Outback with Massachusetts registration following too closely to a motor home, who was in turn, following the vehicle in front of it too closely. The trooper attempted to stop both vehicles at 9:04 a.m., but was only able to stop the Subaru at milepost 71.
Upon contact with the driver, the trooper detected an odor of raw marijuana coming from the vehicle and observed marijuana on the driver's pants. During a probable cause search, the trooper found $9,720 in bundles of U.S. currency.
Further investigation revealed the motor home and Subaru occupants were traveling together.
Troopers located the motor home at 9:33 a.m. in a service plaza at milepost 77 and initiated a traffic stop for the original following too closely violation. During contact with the occupants of the motor home, troopers again detected an odor of raw marijuana. A probable cause search revealed 907 pounds of marijuana and $4,188 in U.S. currency.
The following were incarcerated in the Wood County Jail:
-Driver of the Subaru: Frankie Junior Layz, 22, of Rochester, NY
-Passenger of the Subaru: William Luciano Jr., 33, of Rochester, NY
-Motor home occupant: Justin T. Gould, 27, of Rochester, NY
-Motor home occupant: Jimmy Pross Jr., 35, of Charlotte, NC
-Motor home occupant: Jose M. Manzanares, 36, of Houston, TX
They face the following charges:
-Possession of marijuana, a second-degree felony
-Trafficking in marijuana, a second-degree felony
-Money laundering, a third-degree felony
-Possession of criminal tools, a fifth-degree felony
During the traffic stop of the motor home, one suspect fled with his 7-year-old son. He was later identified as a known drug violator in Rochester and plans to turn himself in to authorities.
Police say drug trafficking on roads is the most common way criminals move products from state to state.
"We happen to be on the crossroads of America right here with I-75, I-280 and the turnpike all come together. If you're coming from Chicago, Detroit, the New York area, you're coming right through here," said Lake Township Police Chief Mark Hummer.

According to Symantec.cloud Intelligence Report figures,
around 75% of worldwide email traffic is spam. If left
uncontrolled, this volume of unsolicited messages would add huge
costs to the processing, storage and control of email, and make it
virtually unusable as a business tool.
The Symantec MessageLabs Email AntiSpam.cloud service
dramatically cuts the amount of spam reaching your organisation, so
that employees no longer waste time reading and deleting spam, and
the processing, storage and bandwidth costs associated with these
unsolicited emails is reduced.
The Symantec MessageLabs Email AntiSpam.cloud service employs a
multi-layered defence. At the perimeter of the infrastructure,
innovative Traffic and Connection Management capabilities identify,
slow down and reject known unwanted email.
The next spam barriers are commercial scanners that stop known
threats, and finally Skeptic™ identifies unknown and new spam by
using predictive technology, incorporating thousands of heuristics
rules, Bayesian learning, smart signatures, fuzzy fingerprinting
and dynamic header analysis.
Skeptic™ learns from each message it sees, evolving and updating
in real time to actively protect against the latest spam techniques
while limiting the number of false positives.
Clients have a range of completely customisable handling options
at their disposal for messages identified as spam at the various
layers of the service.
Intuitive administrator and end-user spam quarantine tools
provide for a flexible and productive antispam experience.

Visitors from all over made the trek across Lake Champlain for a celebration of the season.
"We've just been wondering around trying not to slip and fall on the ice and having a wonderful time," said Barbara Sweet.
The weekend long event gave visitors a chance to make the 2-mile walk or ski across the lake to Night's Island State Park
"She went walking, I did it on cross country skies. It's beautiful, no wind, " said Nicole Cherry.
Organizer Robert Camp said, "There were young people, old people, skaters, walkers, hikers,trekkers, 4 wheelers. It was wonderful."
But the highlight of the day...
"People have been giving us their clean Christmas trees since Christmas. There's a big stack behind me and we'll torch that," said Camp.
It's a send off of old Christmas trees to welcome in the new year. This is what you call fire and ice. All the money raised out here today will go to benefit local organizations in the area. The Grand Island Rescue crew, Local Motion, North Hero Volunteer fire department, and the historical society will all benefit from the funds raised this weekend.
"Anytime any community can come out and support itself and have other people come out and support it, it's always a great thing," said Sweet.
A homemade chili cook-off warmed up the crowd and the entertainment continued with a speed skating race.
"The biggest idea is to get everybody out of their houses, away from those wood stoves,and out to have some family fun," said Camp.
Family fun on the ice that these people think is pretty cool.

David Ortiz talks contract, addresses critics
David Ortiz talked all things "Big Papi" Wednesday at the Red Sox spring training facility in Fort Myers, Fla.
The Boston DH spoke at length about a possible contract extension with the club.
"My bosses are more than happy to talk," Ortiz said, "They're trying to get this out of the way so it doesn't get to be a distraction. The contract is going to be taken care of…hopefully, pretty soon."
The 38-year-old slugger, coming off a year in which he hit 30 HRs, knocked in 103 runs and won the World Series MVP award, is in the final year of a two-year, $30 million pact.
Ortiz, never a bashful person, continued: "I think I'm one of the greatest to wear this uniform. People forget about that…I think it's very disrespectful for someone out there to say I'm greedy, that all I want to talk about is contracts. When am I going to talk about contracts? When I retire?"
Ortiz went a step further to address his "haters", saying "Those radio shows, they like to come with their chests wide open and talk trash…People who hate are people not comfortable with you doing well."
That comment comes on the heels of a profanity-laced tirade he made in an interview on Tuesday with The Boston Herald's John Tomase.
"Guys putting up my numbers, they're making $25, $30 million," said Ortiz. "I'm not asking for that. I'm asking for half of it. And they're still bitching about it? (Expletive) them. I'm tired of hearing them talk (expletive) about me when I talk about my contract. Hey, every time I talk about my contract, I earn it, (expletive). So don't be giving me that (expletive)."
When asked about the possibility of retirement, Ortiz treated the notion as a non-starter.
"What is it I'm doing so bad that people want me to retire?" he said. "Last year was a tough year for me (physically) and I survived. Now I feel great. Now I feel way better than last year."

- Return to ScottsdaleTucsonvaca3Dined on 9/9/2014My wife and I ate at this restaurant some 25+ years ago on our first visit to Scottsdale.That was our first time at a Ruth's Chris. We came back here for the first time since then and had dinner on my birthday. Still one of the best Ruth's Chris on either coast, no doubt still the best steak of any restaurant with an extensive wine list and ample sides. But who needs sides, it's all about the steak and this restaurant is beautiful with no bad seats and good views. There is a large deck surrounding the dining room for gathering or having drinks, etc. The restaurant is on the second floor. As always, this restaurant is very pricey, but you know that if you have ever eaten at a Ruth's Chris. Save up and enjoy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedDinerDined on 8/23/2014I asked if they had a menu without prices - they did not - we had a birthday person as a guest & did not want her 'upset' by the prices. I had to make one myself from their website. The greeter was very pleasant about my hand-made menu and delivered as requested. I was odd man out because of my preference for 'cooked' meat. However, having a petite filet done 'medium well' should not be a challenge to a competent chef. I have encountered competent and very competent chefs who have presented me with a filet done medium well with pink inside without presentation of what I was presented with -a severely burnt filet on the outside and red inside. Because of the presence of out guest, I did not make an issue of this but not again . . . .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Filet mignon not cooked rightJohnDined on 8/22/2014This was my first visit to this restaurant and the service was outstanding. However, we ordered medium filets and when they came out, my wife's was well done and I've noticed mine to be medium well! We addressed this to the server and he recommended to redo the entree. The only issue is we will have to wait another 20 minutes and we had our 6 year old with us. We let it go and two days later addressed it with the general manager. He mentioned that he will be sending us a gift card to come back. Hence this was over 10 days ago and still no gift card!!! This is not the type of service we've expected from Ruth Chris in Scottsdale!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014Excellent, have already recommended for special occasionsSpecial Features:
- over priced for the qualityoldschoolDined on 8/15/2014Over priced for goods received. I have had a better cut of meat at the Texas Roadhouse and the Townhall Restaurant, at a much better value. The staff was awesome, unfortunately there is no dress code obviously. I felt over dressed wearing a button up shirt and a tie. It would appear that elegant dinner dining has gone the way of history.Special Features:

As a final nice touch, on special occasions, they provide a lovely complimentary personalized dessert!Special Features:
- Birthday DinnerJoyandBoysDined on 7/21/2014We had a delightful dinner. I have wanted to return here for some time and the steaks were still as delicious as 5 years ago and the service was just perfect. I can't wait to come back again soon. It was a perfect spot for a birthday dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SavoryChuckF7Dined on 7/19/2014Once again dinner Ruth's Chris exceeded our expectations. Hands down the best dining experience to be had. The crab cakes melt in your mouth, the steaks made to perfection. A new side dish the Chipotle Potato Fingerlings I described as "a party in my mouth", they were fantastic.Special Features:
- Great Local Classy RestaurantBest2DineDined on 7/19/2014It was a birthday celebration for my wife and male friend attending. The food is excellent and prepared exactly the way we requested. The price was pricey , but for an anniversary and or birthday well worth the value. The waiter ( Francisco) was professional and a terrific server. He was excellent in offering the specials and drinks. He was present often when needed to provide great service. The extra dessert with a candle was superb and a nice touch by the restaurant . The manager also came by and asked how everything was regarding our meal. Overall Highly recommend Ruth Chris. The steaks were prepared perfectly and the entire meal was terrific.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently excellentOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/12/2014We have eaten at this location around a dozen times and everything about it is consistent. The food and service are always top notch. The quality of the steaks is superb. Although not inexpensive they do offer a better value than some of their competitors while never compromising food quality. Their Harvest salad is exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Filet Mignon!!HawaiiantimeVIPDined on 7/12/2014We'll just say I've had a "few" in the Valley. This one in the top 3, and best value with their Classic menu!! Can't wait to go back!!Special Features:
- Friends and FoodFIVEFORDINNERDined on 7/12/2014We had a great evening at Ruth's Chris, the food was great and the service was top notch. The only issue was two salads were not served as ordered but that was quickly rectified and all was well..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite vacation diningRioRicoRickDined on 7/5/2014We go to Ruth's in Phoenix every time we vacation there! Simply amazing food and wonderful service.Special Features:
- Consistently good.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/27/2014Typically I'm not a fan of anything "chain" - However, even as a chain restaurant, Ruth's Chris is consistently amazing. The food is why we go. It never disappoints. This particular location in Scottsdale is great for views on the patio if you want just cocktails... We continue to return because it is close to home and the steaks are always amazing.Special Features:
- Top DogFoodDocVIPDined on 6/21/2014Out of the premium steakhouses in the Valley I think this is really the best. Comparing the bone-in filet to other premium cuts I have to say this was tender and flavorful. And it doesn't hurt to serve it in sizzling butter. Bread was far superior and sides were super, loved the garlic mashed potatoes. Had the flourless chocolate cake for desert and loved it, and a nice sophisticated cappucino that wasn't overly sweet.Special Features:
- Awesome BirthdaydiningoutDined on 6/17/2014My husband took me to Ruth Chris for my birthday celebration & they did their usual superb performance…everything from foil Happy Birthday sprinkles on the table, our picture taken by the hostess, great wine, my usual petite filet (which was cooked to perfection), scrumptious birthday dessert with lighted candle…. & super great service by our waiter, Todd. No wonder it's our favorite place to celebrate or just our "go to" place for an enjoyable evening meal. PatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RelaxingmyfaveDined on 6/16/2014Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is a great special occasion venue! The food is delicious. The service is superior. The ambience is lovely. The staff does an excellent job of wishing you well on your special occasion, including providing a complimentary picture of your dinner party. Although this is an expensive restaurant, you get what you pay for! We've eaten at Ruth's Chris Steakhouses in various cities across the US, and you can always count on consistent quality.Special Features:
- Fabulous, as UsualpickycarolDined on 6/15/2014Fathers Day evening and Dad's favorite restaurant! Never fails to be Outstanding, and this occasion was Outstanding. The Dads had 2 lobster tails and rib eye steak each, split creamed spinach, and a salad and I had a rib eye as well. Delish! Cooked to our exact requests and we had great service as well! Tried the 'new' new fashioned and it was very tasty. All in all a wonderful evening.Special Features:
- CaryVIPDined on 6/14/2014My wife and I have been dining at this Ruth's Chris since it opened. On this occasion I ordered a rib-eye medium and after consuming half of the steak the remaining piece was mostly fat and cartilage. On our previous experience, which was December 24 2013, the same cut of meat was worse and was replaced by the manager and not charged. We have eaten at Ruth's Chris in many cities and never had an issue with the quality of the beef. This past visit gives rise to whether we want to continue to dine at this restaurant. I did not engage management. Sorry I feel this way but the cost versus value seems to have waned.Special Features:
- Ummm Ummm GoodehelpDined on 6/10/2014This being our second time to this location and still find it as one of our best restaurants. The food was perfectly cooked and prepared to our request. The service was adequate and not overbearing. Very professional and informative. Management visited every table and expressed their concerns for our satisfaction ... This one we highly recommend ...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed.timtymeDined on 6/8/2014First off, the hostess(Haley) needs to learn to speak up and acknowledge people when they come in the door. I had to say hi twice just to be acknowledged. Even then could not hear her. Can't bring your own wine into a restaurant in AZ. LAME. The waiter, who said he's been there for 7 mos, kept saying he was new. constantly as an excuse for the service. Also noisy booth in the corner next to the door to the(very busy) kitchen. I love Ruths Chris restaurants but will not visit this on again. There is Donovins, Roys, and other fine places to eat in the area.Special Features:
- AwesomeSkts007Dined on 6/7/2014Was everything I wanted it to be and more! Thank you Ruth Chris!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Disappointed!PleasedVIPDined on 5/31/2014We have dined at a variety of Ruth's Chris restaurants, and this one 5-6 times recently. This is the first disappointing experience we have ever had with a Ruth's Chris. We noted on the reservation that it was my wife's birthday. We selected this restaurant over other high end establishments, since we have been treated so well previously. To our dismay, we were seated in arguably the worst table in the restaurant, next to the bar and waiter station with constant traffic of diners and people going back and forth to the rest room. Additionally, we had to wait 10 minutes for our waiter to take a drink order, and our meat was over cooked. The one bright spot was Asst GM Sue Taylor, who did her best to rectify it toward the end of dinner.
- InconsistantolderviewVIPDined on 5/27/2014I am a steak eater. I like Prime beef with a char and grill marks on the outside. I had butter on my steak and that and the accompanying seasons ruined a fine steak.
- Always a great experiencePhoenixFoodSnobDined on 5/26/2014As always, Ruth's Chris does not disappoint. Service was great, food was outstanding, portions just right. We had a group of 6, and most of us ordered the Filet with Shrimp. Garlic Mashed Potatoes for a side. It was Restaurant Week, so we were able to order the special meal that came with a soup or salad, a side dish, and a dessert, all for $40. If it had not been Restaurant Week, it would only have been a few dollars more. This place does NOT have to be only for special occasions.Special Features:

- Restaurant Week tryout1HappydinerDined on 5/23/2014I really liked the food and the attentive service; however, I would strongly recommend a booth for dining if you want a calm dining experience. We were seated at a table in the middle of the dining room and the wait staff kept going by us continually with trays held high about our heads. It was most distracting while trying to enjoy a delicious meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ignorant gun-free zoneFreedomDined on 5/22/2014"No guns allowed" Second amendment supporters should not dine here While I enjoyed dining at your restaurant, I am very disappointed by the ignorant "No Guns Allowed" sign and policy. I am a law-abiding citizen who chooses to take responsibility for the defense of myself and my loved ones, and will continue to do so in accordance with the Second Amendment and the laws of the state. Myself, my family, and I'm sure many other law-abiding citizens, will not dine again in your restaurants until this policy is removedSpecial Features:

In February 2008, King County launched the Equity & Social Justice Initiative to eliminate long-standing and persistent inequities and social injustices. The goal of the initiative is for all King County residents to live in communities of opportunity where all people thrive. The initiative aims to improve conditions for people of color, low-income residents, and persons who have limited English proficiency. It focuses on 13 social, economic, and physical environment factors that are also termed the determinants of equity. King County is applying the principles of equity and social justice in its service delivery, decisions, policies, and how it engages communities.

Among the many casualties of the federal government shutdown are the nation's 401 national parks, the people who work in them, the gateway communities that benefit from their existence and the millions of visitors left standing outside their locked gates.
The financial repercussions are deep. In the Florida Keys, fishing guides are locked out of some of the best catch areas in Biscayne and Florida Bays. Forget about the big Columbus Day weekend festivities at Biscayne National Park. The park is closed and visitors are warned to stay away.
Motel and restaurant owners in South Miami-Dade and Monroe counties are feeling the effect, too. For them, fewer park visitors means fewer customers.
In Arizona, groups who waited from two to 17 years for a permit to run the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon are camped out in hopes that Congress will come to its senses before their permits expire. Would-be river runners have come from as far away as Austria, according to the AP.
All across the country families have had to cancel vacations planned in national parks and refuges. School administrators have delayed students' trips to federal sites, from Independence Hall in Philadelphia to Civil War battlefields located from Pennsylvania to North Florida. Last year, 287 million people visited national parks and battlefields — meaning there are a lot of disappointed people out there, many of whom will remember those locked gates come the next election.
According to the National Parks Conservation Association, a recent poll showed that nine out of 10 Americans want and expect the federal government to keep national parks open, protected and adequately funded. The NPCA says that the government shutdown has actually made a bad situation worse for our national parks. Over the past three years, the National Park Service budget has been cut by 13 percent — $315 million in today's dollars.
The reductions have forced park superintendents to reduce services for visitors. New park road openings and other amenities have been delayed or deferred. Some visitor centers, picnic areas and campgrounds have been closed or have reduced hours and public access. Park maintenance has been cut back, meaning more costly repairs down the road. And that was before the shutdown, which furloughed 20,000 of the NPS's 23,000 employees. Only personnel needed for maintenance, fire responses and other emergencies are still on duty.
Is this really how we want to treat our vast string of environmental jewels, our historical heritage? To first nickel and dime them into reduced circumstances and then, in a fit of Capitol Hill pique, shut them down altogether?
When the last shutdown occurred in 1995, the sight of locked park gates stirred Americans' ire more than most other consequences. The perpetrators of this closing are risking the wrath of a public that wants the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial open to one and all.
The entire House and Senate membership should be shamed by the lockout at facilities owned and paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
The shutdown is depriving the public of many other vital services — for example, the operations of the National Institutes of Health. The House has passed a few bills to fund some of these programs as recalcitrant members of Congress awaken to the horrible consequences of the shutdown, but that's no solution.
The only way to provide relief is to reopen the government. All of it.

Oversized Widgets need some attention. But the touchscreen is very responsive and the balance between weight, handset size, and screen size is just about right.

Another reason to go on living: Cinnamon Swirl Bread
Scripps Howard News Service
Editors: This story is for print use only. Must credit Minneapolis Star Tribune
With photo/graphic: SH12I210CINNAMONBREAD
By KIM ODE
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Simple pleasures often catch us unawares. They're unexpected delights, the little flourishes that bring a sudden smile. Slicing into a loaf of bread and finding a swirl of cinnamon curlicuing through its crumb is one of those pleasures. And trust us, making this treat really is simple, thanks to an easy trick.
Cinnamon Swirl Bread is made to be toasted, the scent of warmed spices mingling with the aroma of morning coffee. But the bread also is an inspired choice for a sandwich with good Cheddar cheese, either plain or grilled. A school-lunch sandwich with a swirl can be the hit of the cafeteria table. Chicken salad is a natural pairing for such gently spiced slices.
Using a filling, of course, presumes that the cinnamon and sugar swirls through the bread without creating a gap. Even popping a slice in the toaster is easier when the slice holds together.
To increase the likelihood of gap-free bread, you will need to help the sugary mixture meld to the dough. While bakers instinctively brush everything with butter, water is the secret ingredient here. Brushing the rolled-out dough with water helps create a bond between the cinnamon-sugar mixture and the dough.
To further ward off crevices, we also take care while rolling up the dough to make sure that the "top" of the cinnamon mixture sticks as well. This is simply a matter of brushing away any excess flour clinging to the dough as we roll it and brushing the curving edge of the dough with more water.
The folks at Cook's Illustrated suggest misting the dough with a spray bottle, but we found that using a brush is just as easy; you can even just use your hand, patting the dough with dampened fingers.
Final tip: Make sure that you roll up the dough with even pressure to create a cylinder with no slack. The result should be uniform slices that can't help but inspire a smile as a knife reveals the bread's simple pleasure.
Makes one 9-inch loaf.
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1-1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 egg yolks
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/4 teaspoons (1 envelope) instant or rapid-rise yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
Water for brushing
In a small bowl, mix together both sugars and cinnamon. Set aside.
Warm the milk to 110 degrees. You can do this by placing the milk in a microwave oven for 30 seconds on high power. Whisk warmed milk with melted butter and egg yolks until thoroughly combined.
In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together 3-1/2 cups flour, yeast, salt and 1/4 cup cinnamon-sugar mixture.
With the mixer on low, slowly add the milk until the dough comes together. Increase the speed to medium-low and continue mixing until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. If, after 4 minutes, the dough remains sticky, add the remaining flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl but sticks to the bottom.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a smooth, round ball. Place the dough into a large, oiled bowl, then flip it so the oiled surface is on top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about an hour.
Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll or pat into an 8- by 10-inch rectangle with the short side facing you. Brush the surface of the dough lightly but evenly with water, then sprinkle evenly with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Begin rolling the dough into a tight cylinder, using your fingers to wipe away any excess flour and brushing the leading edge of the dough with water as you go. Pinch the seam closed and place the loaf seam side down into the prepared pan.
Cover with a clean dishtowel and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size. This may take anywhere from 45 to 75 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until golden. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before flipping it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
