AKC 2010 Legislative Successes
The following list provides some of the highlights of AKC Government Relations' (AKC GR) legislative successes through December 31, 2010. Many other victories not included in this list have been won by other AKC federations, clubs, and responsible dog owners and breeders around the country who work tirelessly to promote positive canine legislation in their state and community.

United States Congress – Several victories for dog owners and breeders were seen on Capitol Hill in 2010:
S.3424/ H.R.5434 – This legislation, known as the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act, would have required all breeders who breed and sell more than 50 puppies in a 12-month period to be regulated under USDA dog dealer regulations. Requirements would have included obtaining an annual USDA license, maintaining minimum federal standards of care, and regular inspections at least biennially. It also would have required that breeding dogs receive daily access to exercise that is sufficient to maintain normal muscle tone and mass, the ability to achieve a running stride, and is not a forced activity. Congressmen Dan Boren (D-Okla.) and Paul C. Broun, M.D., (R-Ga.) drafted a "dear colleague" letter outlining concerns with this legislation. The AKC also expressed a number of concerns with the measure, and sent updates and information to AKC clubs and breeders. AKC also sent a letter of concern to all members of Congress. No hearings were scheduled for either bill.
H.R. 5422 – This bill sought to provide grants to states that ban debarking "for purposes of convenience". The grants, which may be up to $1 million, had to be used to fund "activities that prevent or promote the prevention of cruelty to animals". This bill was been assigned to the House Committee on Agriculture, but no hearings were scheduled.
House Concurrent Resolution 160/Senate Resolution 393 – In late February, the U.S. Senate passed Senate Resolution 393 unanimously by a voice vote. This measure honored the AKC on its 125th anniversary and recognizes the AKC's many years of good works and contributions to responsible dog ownership and breeding. SR 393's companion bill, House Concurrent Resolution 160, was sponsored by 55 Representatives and unanimously approved by the House of Representatives by a vote of 419-0 on December 16, 2009. Read more about this congressional resolution.
Alabama – Senate Bill 18 sought to establish a statewide mandatory spay/neuter law. AKC Government Relations (GR) worked closely with the Alabama federation on strategy to defeat the bill. The bill never received a hearing. A similar bill introduced in 2009 did not receive a hearing.
Arizona – House Bill 2375 sought to ban the ownership, sale, and transportation of "dangerous wildlife". As introduced, HB 2375 would have defined all carnivores as "dangerous wildlife" with no exceptions, thereby banning Arizonans from owning and selling dogs in the state. The bill was amended to clarify that domestic animals were exempted. GR continued to work with the sponsor and other stakeholders to address remaining concerns. HB 2375 passed the House Natural Resources & Rural Affairs Committee but is not expected to advance further this session.
Arkansas – Arkansas fanciers and breeders have had two local victories in 2010:
Crawford County, AR – The Crawford County Quorum Court rejected breed-specific legislation, and instead drafted a general dangerous dog ordinance. AKC GR has sent the court a letter thanking them for their actions and providing samples of dangerous dog ordinances that have been successful in other jurisdictions.
Springdale, AR – The Springdale City Council tabled proposed changes their animal control laws, including ownership limits, breeder license fees, and excessive penalties for intact animals. AKC GR sent numerous materials to a local kennel club to assist their efforts in fighting the proposal. GR also notified clubs and AKC officials in Washington County, AR, of the public hearing and encouraged them to attend.
California – California dog owners had two major victories in 2010:
Senate Bill 250 – SB 250 sought to mandate sterilization of animals on a second animal control violation in a lifetime and could have prevented the owner from ever owning an intact animal again. GR sent numerous letters to key legislators and alerts to California constituents, posted many Legislative Alerts, and worked closely with numerous local clubs to defeat this legislation. The bill failed in the General Assembly by a vote of 28-40.
Auburn, CA - The City of Auburn rejected a series of unreasonable animal control proposals, including a mandatory spay/neuter for "pit bulls" (defined as American Staffordshire Terriers, Bull Terriers, Miniature Bull Terriers, and American Pit Bull Terriers) and a 2-dog ownership limit for all dog owners. GR sent numerous letters and resources to the city council and several updates and talking points to local AKC judges, officials, and clubs.
Florida – Dog owners and breeders in Florida had several victories in 2010:
House Bill 543/Senate Bill 1276 – These bills sought to eliminate the state's existing prohibition of local breed-specific dangerous dog laws. S.1276 passed the Senate Community Affairs Committee with an amendment on March 4, but died in the Senate Agriculture Committee. HB 543 never received a hearing. AKC GR produced legislative alerts and worked closely with the Florida federation to defeat this proposal.
Senate Bill 122– This bill sought to require those defined as "pet dealers" (selling 20 or more dogs per year) to provide a written disclosure to dog buyers that impugns the genetic health of purebred dogs. It also attempted to unreasonably raise penalties for violations of Florida's consumer protection law up to $10,000. The bill passed the Senate Agriculture Committee, but died in the Senate Judiciary Committee. AKC GR posted Legislative Alerts and worked closely with the Florida federation in an effort to defeat this proposal.
Jacksonville, FL – the Jacksonville City Council amended a problematic animal control ordinance prior to passage. While some concerns still remain, modifications were made to mandatory sterilization requirements for impounded dogs, mandatory microchipping requirements, overly-broad dangerous dog provisions, and definitions and licensing requirements for hobby and occasional breeders.
Georgia - The Douglasville City Council rejected a proposed breed-specific ordinance that would have placed restrictions on the ownership of "pit bulls." The AKC GR department sent a letter explaining the ineffectiveness of breed-based restrictions and worked to support the work of the Georgia Canine Coalition in educating council members about this important issue.
Illinois – The Elgin City Council voted unanimously against a proposal which would have deemed "pit bulls," defined as American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and any dog exhibiting the characteristics of these breeds to be dangerous dogs. Owners would have been required to confine the animals in a specified manner, purchase $100,000 worth of liability insurance, and sterilize their dogs. GR contacted the city council in opposition to these changes and worked with local residents and clubs to help them communicate their opposition to the measure.
Indiana – Indiana dog fanciers and breeders have had several successes this year:
Senate Bill 5 – Senate Bill 5 sought to add baiting and animal fighting contests to the list of offenses qualifying as racketeering and to ban the breeding of dogs for these purposes. "Baiting" is defined as provoking or harassing an animal with another animal. The AKC sent a letter to the sponsor requesting an amendment that clarifies that recognized, sanctioned performance events; lawful hunting; and training for law enforcement purposes would be permitted. AKC also requested that breeding dogs for these lawful purposes be expressly permitted in the bill. The bill never received a hearing.
Anderson, IN – The Anderson City Council has rejected a proposal that would have mandated sterilization for all dogs over six months of age unless the owner purchased a $100/year breeder's permit. The permit would have been required regardless of whether or not the dogs were being bred, and would limit breeders to one litter every 12 months. The AKC's Indiana federation sent letters and testified at the hearing, along with local concerned residents. The AKC supported their efforts by sending a letter of opposition and notifying local AKC clubs, officials, and judges of the hearing. An advisory committee is being formed to develop a more positive solution to the city's animal population concerns.
Elkhart, IN – The Elkhart City Council voted against adopting a breed-specific dangerous dog policy that would have banned the ownership of "pit bulls" in the city. GR drafted several letters of concern and worked with the AKC federation for Indiana and other local breeder organizations in opposition.
Jackson County, IN – The Jackson County Commission rejected several new breeder regulations, including requiring licenses and inspections for anyone breeding a dog. The AKC's Indiana federation and local residents testified in opposition to the regulations at the meeting and the AKC provided a letter opposing the regulations and notified local residents of the meeting.
Iowa – The Cedar Rapids City Council rejected a number of changes to its animal control ordinance, including differential licensing for intact and sterilized dogs. A discounted multiple dog license was proposed, but only for owners of sterilized dogs. The proposal also included new, vague definitions for "potentially dangerous" and "dangerous" animals and could require sterilization for any dog that bites once, regardless of the severity of the injury. AKC GR notified AKC parent clubs and local kennel clubs and officials about the proposal and hearing, and sent a letter to the council expressing AKC's concerns with the proposal.
Kansas – The Topeka City Council has repealed their breed-specific ordinance, which restricted the ownership of American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers and any mixed-breed dog with the characteristics of these breeds. AKC GR sent a letter supporting the repeal and packets containing sample dangerous dog ordinances to the city attorney and city council members. AKC GR also asked local fanciers and breeders to contact the council in support of the proposed repeal.
Michigan – Michigan dog owners have seen several victories in 2010:
Dearborn Heights, MI – After considering breed-specific legislation, the Dearborn Heights City Council decided to pursue other alternatives in dealing with dangerous dogs in the city. AKC sent letters and issue briefs to the council in order to help them make this decision, and contacted local owners and advocates to attend the council meeting.
Rochester Hills, MI – The Rochester Hills City Council considered four alternatives for dealing with dangerous dogs in the city, three of which were forms of breed-specific legislation. AKC sent letters and issue briefs to the council expressing our interest in keeping the city BSL-free. After deliberation and a public hearing, the city decided to pursue a non breed-specific course of action.
St. Clair County, MI – The St. Clair County Commission tabled a proposal that would have limited ownership to 10 dogs of any age, banned debarking, and implemented numerous breeding restrictions. The AKC sent a letter to county officials and worked with AKC's Michigan federation and local fanciers and breeders to provide alternative solutions.
Sterling Heights, MI – The Sterling Heights City Council unanimously rejected a proposed ordinance to restrict ownership of "pit bulls." The council instead proceeded with a breed-neutral dangerous dog ordinance that addresses all dogs on the basis of their behavior. AKC GR sent a letter opposing breed-specific restrictions and notified local dog owners who worked to educate their legislators about this important issue.
Minnesota – Senate File 7 would have imposed onerous regulations on owners/breeders who possess six or more adult intact female dogs. AKC GR provided extensive assistance to help defeat the measure. On March 9, the Minnesota Senate Agricultural and Veterans Committee voted the bill down, effectively prohibiting further consideration of this measure. AKC GR posted Legislative Alerts and worked with local clubs to address this bill.
Missouri - The Kirksville City Council rejected a proposal that sought to ban all "pit bulls", along with a long list of exotic animals including sharks, wolverines, and piranhas. AKC GR sent letters to the city council and alerted local breeders and dog owners of the proposal. The city council removed the ordinance from their agenda.
Montana – The City of Butte-Silver Bow rejected a citizen proposal to place restrictions on certain breeds. No official draft was ever written. GR sent a letter opposing BSL and packets of information to the commissioners with sample legislation for more effective dangerous dog laws.
Nebraska – The City of Omaha relaxed its animal control ordinance, removing muzzling requirements for "pit bull" puppies under six months of age, and significantly reducing the retrieval fees for owners of intact dogs. AKC GR sent a letter to the city council encouraging this measure as a first step towards eliminating breed-specific discrimination in the city.
New Hampshire – House Bill 1624 sought to impose many unreasonable and unnecessary restrictions on responsible dog breeders and owners, including ownership limits, onerous care and conditions standards for certain breeders, and severe limitations on the practices of debarking and tail docking. The New Hampshire House Environmental and Agriculture Committee considered the bill on Thursday, January 21; and more recently voted the bill "inexpedient to legislate". GR worked closely with its New Hampshire federation, the Dog Owners of the Granite State, to oppose several provisions of this bill and issued a number of alerts and sample letters for concerned residents.
New Jersey – Two victories in the fight against BSL have been won in New Jersey municipalities:
Garfield, NJ – The Garfield City Council voted against a proposal that would have placed numerous restrictions on "pit bull" owners. "Pit bull" was defined as Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, and any dog that has the characteristics and appearance of these breeds. Restrictions would have included muzzling the dog anytime it is not on the owner's property, specific leash requirements, and prohibiting anyone under the age of 18 from walking one of these breeds. Owners would also have been required to purchase $50,000 of liability insurance. The AKC contacted local lawmakers and notified local clubs and AKC officials of the hearing.
Lodi, NJ – The Borough of Lodi rejected discussions of restrictions on "pit bulls" and possibly other breeds. The AKC sent a letter to the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Borough Council opposing breed-specific legislation and providing more positive alternatives.
Mahwah, NJ – The council unanimously rejected an ordinance that sought to ban dogs from all township parks. The council will now work with local clubs and dog owners to come up with a reasonable solution to the town's concerns. The AKC supported the efforts of local citizens and AKC's state federation for New Jersey by submitting a letter, which was publicly read into the council's minutes.
New York – Responsible dog owners in New York have seen several municipal victories in the fight against breed-specific legislation:
Assembly Bill 5507 – This bill, known as "Charlemagne's Law", sought to amend the state's existing definition of "pet dealer" to include those who sell or offer to sell more than five (reduced from nine) dogs or cats per year at wholesale or retail. It also would have reduced the current breeder-retailer exception from fewer than 25 dogs or cats per year to 10 dogs or cats per year and impose new restrictions on "pet dealers". The AKC sent a notification to New York residents and clubs, and posted an online Legislative Alert. A.5507 was been held in the Assembly Agriculture Committee.
Newstead, NY – The Newstead Town Council decided not to pursue an ordinance that would impose a three-dog ownership limit and require public muzzling for "pit bulls". The AKC sent a letter expressing concerns with the proposal, and local media cited AKC's letter as one of the reasons the council changed its course. The Council has set up a committee comprised of breeders and dog owners to develop a more effective proposal.
Rockville Centre, NY – Rockville Centre repealed a law that prohibited "pit bulls" and Rottweilers in the village. GR sent a letters to the mayor, city council and city attorney informing them of the New York state law that prohibits breed-specific legislation and provided materials including model dangerous dog laws to local fanciers for their meetings with local lawmakers. GR also sent alerts to local AKC clubs, officials, and judges informing them of the public hearing to repeal the law and encouraging them to attend.
Suffern, NY – The Village of Suffern rejected a proposal that would have declared all Rottweilers "vicious" and subject to certain breed-based restrictions. Owners of American Staffordshire Terriers, Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and American Pit Bull Terriers are already subject to such restrictions. A dangerous dog advisory committee is being formed. GR sent out an alert to residents and affected parent clubs, sent a letter to the village board, and worked with the NY federation and local concerned residents to defeat this proposal.
North Carolina – North Carolina dog owners have seen two victories in 2010:
Senate Bill 460 – After a two-year legislative battle, Senate Bill 460 was finally defeated when it was pulled from consideration by the House Finance Committee. SB 460 sought to place unreasonable, costly, and confusing restrictions on dog breeding in North Carolina. GR supported the work of the AKC's state federation and coalition partners, including distributing materials at public events, sending numerous communications to legislators and AKC clubs, breeders, and registrants, and posting Legislative Alerts with the latest information. Read more about this victory.
Rockingham County, NC – The Rockingham County Planning Board tabled a proposal that would have deemed any resident owning 6 or more dogs to be a private kennel and anyone owning 10 or more domestic animals (dogs, cats or other household pets) as a commercial kennel. The measure also placed expensive and burdensome regulations on responsible owners and breeders. AKC encouraged local clubs to oppose the measure and communicated its concerns to the planning board.
Ohio – Ohioans had several victories in 2010:
Senate Bill 95 - This bill sought to regulate "high volume" dog breeding in Ohio. Numerous amendments were added to address many of the AKC's concerns, including ensuring breeder representation on the new Kennel Control Authority Board and eliminating the limits on breeding ages. Other problematic provisions remained, however, including a definition of "kennel" that could be interpreted to mean any owner of an intact dog and problematic standards for "high volume breeders". The bill passed the Senate State & Local Government & Veterans Affairs Committee, but was held on the Senate floor. The AKC sent numerous letters to key committees and legislators, held a conference call with Ohio breeders, participated in a stakeholder meeting, and sent several alerts to local clubs and breeders.
House Bill 570 - This legislation sought to provide an alternative to Senate Bill 95. It defined a commercial breeder as anyone who maintains at least five dogs used for breeding; promotes, advertises, operates, supervises, or manages the business of breeding dogs; or sells, leases, trades, barters or auctions dogs. The bill also limits ownership to 50 dogs; bans debarking, ear cropping, and tail docking; and allows for inspections and seizure of animals regardless of whether the kennel owner is present. The bill was never assigned to committee. AKC GR posted a legislative update online to notify local clubs and breeders of the proposal.
Bellbrook, OH – The Bellbrook City Council agreed to raise the dog ownership limit from 2 dogs to 4 dogs and provide a grandfather clause for those currently over the dog limit. AKC GR sent a letter to the council supporting the amendment as a positive first step and urging them to repeal the limit law in its entirety.
Toledo, OH – The Toledo City Council unanimously repealed the city's long-standing ban on "pit bulls" in October 2010. The law also allowed any dog considered to be a "pit bull" found at large to be seized and potentially euthanized. AKC GR sent letters and materials to the new Lucas County Dog Warden and the city's new Dangerous Dog Advisory Committee in Spring 2010 urging repeal of the breed-specific law and providing assistance in developing more effective dangerous dog laws. GR also sent a letter of support to the mayor and council once the repeal was formally introduced and notified local dog owners and AKC parent clubs of the upcoming vote and encouraged them to contact the council as well.
Oklahoma – The Oklahoma State Board of Commercial Pet Breeders sought to pass numerous onerous and stringent requirements on commercial dog breeding. This was in response to Senate Bill 1712, which passed the legislature earlier this year. AKC GR submitted numerous comments and recommendations to the board and notified local AKC clubs and breeders of the hearings and the opportunity to provide input. While some concerns still remain, a number of the AKC's most significant concerns were addressed.
Rhode Island – Senate Bill 2022 sought to outlaw keeping any dog outside, tethered, penned, caged, fenced or otherwise confined for more than one hour without access to an "outdoor housing facility" unless the person in charge of the dog was also outside with it. The measure also used "guardianship" language, which could undermine owners' legal rights to their animals, and authorizes local humane society personnel to act as enforcement officers without requiring standard legal and procedural training. The bill passed the Senate, but was held in the House Judiciary Committee. AKC GR sent letters to key committees, posted Legislative Alerts, and worked with local Legislative Liaisons to oppose issues of concern.
Texas – Texas dog owners in two communities have had victories this year:
Gladewater, TX – The Gladewater City Council decided to not proceed with an ownership limit law. AKC GR sent materials that explain the problems with limit laws and provide more positive and effective solutions. A local fancier distributed these materials to the council members.
Lubbock, TX – The Lubbock City Council rejected changes to the city's animal control ordinance including mandatory spay/neuter or differential license fees, litter permits, mandatory microchipping, bans on pet sales and breeder permits. The council will instead consider moving the animal services board under the jurisdiction of the local police department to improve enforcement. AKC GR staff sent materials to local clubs and fanciers to help them communicate the problems with the proposals and more positive and effective solutions.
Virginia – The Madison County Board of Supervisors has rejected proposed changes that would have outlawed all dog breeding in residential areas and put significant restrictions and burdens on breeders in conservation and agricultural districts. AKC Government Relations worked with local owners and breeders to oppose the changes and contacted the Board of Supervisors to express specific concerns and recommend alternate options to address dog issues within the county.
Wisconsin – Responsible dog owners in Wisconsin have had two legislative victories in 2010:
Assembly Bill 793 - The Wisconsin Legislature adjourned prior to giving final approval to AB 793, which sought to amend statutes regarding the seizure and subsequent care of animals whose owners are suspected of mistreatment or dog fighting. Among other provisions, the bill would have allowed for those contracted to care for seized animals to petition the court to euthanize, sell, or otherwise remove the animal prior to the conclusion of the trial. Furthermore, an animal would have been considered "unclaimed" if the owner failed to pay an amount mandated by the court for care of the animals within 5 days. The owner would not be refunded the money paid, regardless of whether there was a guilty verdict. The AKC sent a letter of concern; provided legislative alerts; notified Wisconsin clubs and breeders; and worked with AKC's Wisconsin federation to defeat this proposal.
Marshfield, WI – The Marshfield City Council rejected a proposal to adopt breed-specific legislation in the community after a child was attacked by a pit bull/Rottweiler mixed-breed dog. The AKC GR department sent sample legislation and information on more positive alternatives to a local fancier to distribute to the council. AKC GR also sent a letter of concern to the mayor and council.
Sheboygan, WI – The Sheboygan Common Council unanimously rejected an ordinance severely restricting ownership of "pit bulls," defined as American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers and American Pit Bull Terriers or mixed-breed dogs with similar characteristics. The ordinance would have required owners to muzzle their dogs, and purchase liability insurance in the amount of $300,000.00, among other restrictions. The AKC GR department sent a letter expressing our concerns with this measure and notified AKC parent clubs and local AKC clubs and officials of the proposal and hearing. AKC GR has also sent sample legislation and materials to the new dangerous dog policy task force to help them as they draft a more effective dangerous dog policy.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection has approved regulations and licensing requirements for dog breeders who sell at least 25 dogs from more than 3 litters per year. While some concerns still remain, many of the issues raised by the AKC and its state federation were addressed. The regulations must now be formally approved by the Wisconsin Legislature when the session reconvenes in 2011. AKC GR submitted several letters of recommendation to the department, notified local clubs and breeders of the hearings and opportunity for comment, and worked closely with AKC's state federation to address concerns with these regulations.

I am eagerly awaiting my tomatoes (cherry and San Marzano)to turn into fruit. I am so excited about them.

I just bought my first ever fresh apricots, which I am enjoying with much juice and mess. I also picked up some lovely fresh peas and some greens I have never seen before but came very highly recommended by the gentleman at the market. It starts with a P and isn't purslane, has large (bigger than my hand) thick-ish green leaves with purple veins. Anyone know what it is and how best to serve it?

This is a traditional kibbeh from Merdin, Turkey made in Beirut by Asma Z., a Kurdish lady. Asma is one of my favorite people here and she told me some tidbits from her life; her family left Turkey and settled in Lebanon and her mother put her to work as a maid at the age of ten. As a result, she never learned how to read or write; thanks to her superior intellect and her determination she finally did while her own children were attending elementary school.
This kibbeh is absolutely delicious and has two marked advantages: One, it is boiled and not fried. Two, it is easier to shape than our traditional Lebanese kibbeh.
The shell is composed of fine bulgur and semolina flour; Asma used a mix given to her by a friend who brought it from Syria. She recommends using a bleached bulgur and a coarse semolina flour to obtain the same results. Once boiled, the kibbeh is soft and doughy and the stuffing is juicy and bursting with flavor.
Asma mentioned that some people like to fry the kibbeh after boiling it. The kibbeh are best at room temperature. She said it is traditional to eat these and drink a glass of ayran (yogurt drink).
For the shells: 2 cups of fine bulgur and one cup of semolina and 3 1/2 cups of water; salt and pepper to taste.
For the stuffing:
- 1/2 pound of ground beef, fatty OK
- 1 pound of onions, chopped fine
- 1 cup of chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup of hot red pepper paste or chili paste
- Salt, pepper to taste
- Heat a little olive oil and fry the onion until translucent and golden; add the meat and fry till browned and add the spices; add the chili paste and the chopped parsley and mix to combine. Set the stuffing aside.
- Place the bulgur and semolina in a bowl. Cover with hot water and leave it there for 15 minutes. Drain and squeeze the mixture. Place in the bowl of a food processor and run the machine, adding water (one teaspoon at a time) if necessary, until the mixture holds together and is a firm but moist dough.
- Make small egg-size balls and hollow them with the index finger; stuff them with 2 or 3 teaspoons of the meat stuffing and pat the opening to seal it well.
- When ready to eat, boil 2 quarts of salted water and drop the kibbeh in the water, only a few at a time; boil gently for 3 to 4 minutes then drain. Serve the kibbeh at room temperature.

At new spots, Bridges, French lead Blue to 21-0 victory over Gold
The best news this spring for the Navy defense was the quick-study conversions of junior nose guard Travis Bridges and senior inside linebacker Brye French. Saturday in the annual Blue & Gold game, the duo helped the Blue team shut out the Gold, 21-0.
Bridges, previously an offensive guard, had seven tackles, including a sack, and French, previously an outside linebacker, had six tackles, including one for sack, and another for a loss against the Gold team, made up of players buried on the depth chart.
The deepest penetration for the Gold came on its first possession as Mike Patrick (7 carries, 52 yards) bolted for 26 yards to the Blue 32. But two plays later, French broke through the line and sacked quarterback Cody West to help end the threat.
In the second half, the 6-foot, 318-pound Bridges stuffed Gold quarterback Cody Akers at the line on a fourth-down carry.
"Travis Bridges has all the tools to be a successful nose guard," Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo said. "He's over 300 pounds. He's flexible. He's strong. He's explosive. He's just learning the position."
The Blue was led on offense by inexperienced fullbacks Noah Copeland (10 touches, 87 yards) and Prentice Christian (8 touches, 77 yards), who ran for a touchdown. Copeland, a sophomore, and Christian, a senior, enter next season with a combined two rushing attempts in their career, but looked comfortable running behind an offensive line that returns only one starter.
Throwing mostly screen passes and short stuff, junior quarterback Trey Miller completed 7 of 9 passes for 104 yards and rushed 10 times for 51 yards and two touchdowns. On his two incompletions, however, he missed open receivers.
The Blue moved the ball consistently on the ground and through the air, but yielded five sacks, including three on third down plays, which halted drives.
After the Blue drove 70 yards on seven efficient plays on its first possession, the afternoon belonged to the defense, which set up the next two touchdowns.
The first came after senior defensive end Josh Dowling-Fitzpatrick blindsided Gold quarterback Greg Bryant, forcing a fumble which was recovered by senior outside linebacker Keegan Wetzel at the Gold 38. Four plays late, Miller carried for 14 yards on an option play for his second touchdown.
The last Navy touchdown came after Bridges stuffed an option play of the Gold. Backup quarterback John Hendrick threw for 19 yards to junior wideout Casey Bolena, setting up a 10-yard run by Christian.
Game notes:
- At halftime, sophomore defensive back George Jamison received the Admiral Mack Award, given to the most improved player in the spring. Miller captured the honor last year.
- Outside linebackers D.J. Sargenti (10 tackles, 1½ sacks), a junior, and Paul Quessenberry (4 tackles, 1½ sacks), a sophomore, excelled for the Gold defense. Quessenberry returned a fumble 72 yards for a touchdown in an earlier scrimmage.
- Junior kicker Stephen Picchini was true on three extra point tries, but missed field goal attempts of 41 and 44 yards.
- Under a heavy rush, Gold quarterbacks West and Bryant were a combined 2 of 12 for 17 yards. The Blue totaled six sacks, including one each by sophomore outside linebacker Jordan Drake and junior defensive end Evan Palelei.
- Sophomore safety James Britton (Blue) and sophomore linebacker Joe Worth (Gold) had interceptions.

The Phils got the pitching performance they needed from Vance Worley last night, but the bats went silent as the Rockies topped the Phillies 4-1.
Jimmy Rollins led off the bottom of the first with a home run for the Phils, but that was all the offense they would get in the game. They were unable to score despite leadoff doubles in the second and again in the eighth.
Worley kept the Rockies off the board until the seventh, when a two-run homer by Chris Nelson put Colorado on top to stay. Wilin Rosario hit a two-run homer off of Michael Schwimer in the top of the ninth to account for the rest of the Colorado scoring.
Worley has thrown to a 1.35 ERA over his last three starts, allowing three earned runs over 20 innings. The Phils have lost all three games.
The Phillies are 33-38 on the year after losing to the Colorado Rockies 4-1 last night. The Phils take the series two games to one. They are in last place in the NL East, nine games behind the first place Nationals.
Worley got the start for the Phillies and went seven innings, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks. Two of the hits went for extra-bases, a double and a home run. He struck out two.
He threw a 1-2-3 first.
He started the second up 1-0. Tyler Colvin walked with one out. Jordan Pacheco was next and moved Colvin to third with a single to right. Worley got Chris Nelson to ground back to the mound into a double-play to turn the Rockies away.
Worley struck out pitcher Jeff Francis and Dexter Fowler in a 1-2-3 third.
Marco Scutaro walked to start the fourth. Carlos Gonzalez was next and grounded to second with Scutaro forced at second for the first out. Cuddyer popped to short for the second out before Colvin reached on catcher's interference, putting men on first and second. Gonzalez was thrown out trying to steal third to end the frame.
Worley threw a 1-2-3 fifth. Pence made a nice sliding catch in right on a ball hit by Nelson for the second out.
Switch-hitter Eric Young hit for Francis to start the sixth and flew to center for the first out. Worley got Fowler to pop to short behind him for the second out before Scutaro singled to right. Gonzalez grounded to second for the third out.
Colvin doubled to left with one out in the seventh. Pacheco grounded to short for the second out, but Nelson followed and hit a 2-1 pitch out to left center, putting the Rockies up 2-1. Wilin Rosario grounded to third to set Colorado down.
Qualls started the eighth with the Phillies still down a run. Fowler and Scutaro singled back-to-back with one out, putting runners on the corners. Diekman came in to pitch to the lefty Gonzalez and a wild pitch moved Scutaro up to second before Gonzalez hit a ground ball to short. With the infield in, Rollins took the grounder and threw home where Fowler was tagged out by Ruiz for the second out. Diekman struck the righty Cuddyer out swinging to leave the runners on first and second.
Great job by Manuel to get Qualls out of the game and let Diekman pitch to the lefty Gonzalez. After he gets the lefty Gonzalez, Diekman stays in the game to face the righty Cuddyer and strikes him out to leave two men on base. Would have been nice to put a righty on Cuddyer there, but the Phils have three righties in the pen. Papelbon is probably not an option behind in the eighth, Qualls had already pitched and Schwimer doesn't make you feel a whole lot better than letting the lefty Diekman face Cuddyer. Worked out well for the Phils.
Qualls allows hits to two of the three batters he faces, but no runs thanks to Diekman and Rollins's play to nail Fowler at the plate. He hasn't been charged with a run in six innings over his last six appearances, dropping his ERA on the season from 5.32 to 4.18.
Diekman got the lefty Colvin to pop to third for the first out. Lefty Todd Helton hit for the pitcher Matt Belisle and Diekman walked him after getting ahead 0-2. Schwimer came in to pitch to the righty Nelson and got him on a fly ball to right for the second out. Rosario was next, though, and he hit the first pitch from Schwimer out to left, extending the Colorado lead to 4-1. Schwimer struck out DJ LeMahieu for the third out.
Diekman goes one inning in the game and is charged with a run on one walk as Helton scores on the Rosario homer allowed by Schwimer. He has a 1.86 ERA over his last 12 appearances but has allowed 11 hits and six walks over 9 2/3 innings (that's a 1.76 ratio).
Three righties in pen, one of which is the closer and one of which can't face lefties ever means that right number three is going to have to pitch. Righty number three is Schwimer and he has a 5.14 ERA for the year after allowing a run on one hit over two-thirds of an inning last night.
Overall the pen went two innings in the game, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk. Diekman threw 17 pitches, Schwimer 12 and Qualls eight. Nobody in the pen has thrown more than one day in a row.
The Phillies lineup against lefty Jeff Francis went (1) Rollins (2) Pierre (3) Pence (4) Ruiz (5) Victorino (6) Polanco (7) Mayberry (8) Martinez. Pierre in left against the lefty. Mayberry at first after Wigginton delivers a big two-out hit to start the rally in the ninth in game two. Martinez at second.
Rollins was the first batter of the bottom of the first and hit a 2-2 pitch out to left, putting the Phils up 1-0. Pence singled to left with one out, but Ruiz struck out behind him for the second before Victorino reached on an infield single that moved Pence up to second. Polanco struck out looking to leave both runners stranded.
Mayberry doubled to center to start the second. Martinez popped to Nelson for the first out. Worley was next and reached on a throwing error by Pacheco at third, leaving the Phils with runners on the corners with one down. Rollins fouled out to Cuddyer for the second out with the runners holding. Pierre flew to center to leave them stranded.
No run for the Phils after the leadoff double. Martinez can't move the runner out. Rollins can't bring the runner home from third with one out.
The Phils went in order in the third.
Mayberry singled with one out in the fourth. Martinez struck out behind him and Worley popped to short.
Pierre bunted for a single with one out in the fifth and moved up to second on a ground out by Pence. Ruiz grounded to second to leave Pierre at second.
Righty Josh Roenicke set the Phillies down in order in the sixth. Mayberry hit the ball well, but Scutaro made a nice diving play to field the ball and throw to first in time to get Mayberry for the third out.
Roenicke struck Martinez out for the first out in the seventh with the Phillies down 2-1. Fontenot hit for Worley and singled to left, but lefty Rex Brothers came in to pitch to Rollins and got him to ground into a double-play to end the inning.
Wigginton doubled off of righty Matt Belisle to start the eighth. Pence struck out for the first out and Ruiz flew to center for the second with Wigginton tagging and moving up to third. Victorino popped to Scutaro to leave him at third.
Again, like in the second, the Phillies don't score after the leadoff double. Pence can't move Wigginton up to third with the first out.
Trailing 4-1, Polanco and Mayberry went down against righty Rafael Betancourt to start the ninth. Thome hit for Martinez and struck out swinging 2-2 to end the game.
Thome now 0-for-12 as a pinch-hitter with eight strikeouts.
Rollins was 1-for-4 with a home run in the game. 4-for-11 with two walks, two doubles and a home run in the three-game series. He's hitting 260/309/382 for the year. 294/344/483 over his last 154 plate appearances. 15-for-his-last-39 (.385) with eight extra-base hits.
Pierre starts against the lefty and goes 1-for-3. He was 2-for-7 with a triple in the series. 323/360/379 for the year.
Pence 1-for-4 last night and 2-for-13 with a double in the series. Two home runs so far in June after hitting eight in May. 275/339/464 for the year.
Ruiz 0-for-4 last night and 2-for-10 with a double and a home run in the series. 347/414/568 for the year.
Victorino 1-for-4. 4-for-12 with four singles in the series. 252/319/399 for the season.
Polanco 0-for-4. 2-for-10 with two walks and a double in the series. 274/309/356.
Mayberry 2-for-4 with a double. 5-for-11 with a walk, three doubles and a home run in the series. 11-for-his-last-28 with two walks and eight extra-base hits. 249/284/422 for the year.
Martinez was 0-for-3 and struck out twice in the game. 1-for-11 with a three-run homer in the series. He's on the field way, way too much for the Phillies after being on the field way, way too much for the Phillies in 2011. 6-for-36 on the year with five singles and a home run.
Cliff Lee (0-3, 3.48) faces righty James Shields (7-4, 3.72) tonight. The Phillies really need Lee to help them stabilize the rotation with Halladay out. He hasn't done it so far, winless for the year and having thrown to a 4.79 ERA in his three June starts and a 4.87 ERA over his last six. The Phillies are 3-8 in his starts for the year and have lost three games in a row. Shields has allowed one earned run in 14 innings over his last two starts (four runs if you count the three unearned runs he surrendered). He started game two of the 2008 World Series against the Phils, throwing 5 2/3 scoreless innings as the Rays won 4-2.

***Wow, a daily second place! This is so exciting! THANK YOU guys, we thank you for all of your support and prayers for the Earthquake victims. May peace, love and friendship bless all of you.
"How are you now, dear children" is a short Sichuan Earthquake Relief Flash movie, in dedication to those victims of the tragedy. It was created exactly one month after the Earthquake.
As of June 23rd, 2008, 69,185 people are confirmed dead, 374,171 injured and 18,467 listed as missing. The earthquake left about 4.8 million people homeless.
We as Chinese Flashers, want to present you our work to remember the victims of this natural disaster and perhaps raise more awareness in the Western community about our troubled motherland. For peace, love and friendship, we ask everyone to take a few minutes off their busy lives to watch our movie and pray the best for all of the people involved in this disaster.
The movie was finished in Chinese, and then we added English subtitles for the Western audience to understand the context. Enjoy.
Our most immediate goal is to reach out to as many people as possible, so please do not worry too much about our distribution rights, we really want as many people distributing this movie as possible.
The last but not the least, a BIG thank you for everyone who takes time to read this and watch our movie! Thank you!

- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Computers & Peripherals industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 502.2% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $0.23 million to -$0.93 million.
- The share price of INTERPHASE CORP has not done very well: it is down 24.18% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Computers & Peripherals industry and the overall market, INTERPHASE CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- 49.40% is the gross profit margin for INTERPHASE CORP which we consider to be strong. Regardless of INPH's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, INPH's net profit margin of -23.10% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- INTERPHASE CORP has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has not demonstrated a clear trend in earnings over the past two years, making it difficult to accurately predict earnings for the coming year. During the past fiscal year, INTERPHASE CORP continued to lose money by earning -$0.08 versus -$1.23 in the prior year.

What other readers are saying about this title:
bookwoman_cat said:
*** 1/2 stars. On the day John F. Kennedy is inaugurated, Claire, a young wife and mother obsessed with the glamour of Jackie, struggles over the decision of whether to stay in a loveless but secure marriage or to follow the man she loves and whose baby she may be carrying. Decades earlier, in 1919, Vivien Lowe, an obituary writer, is searching for her lover who disappeared in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. By telling the stories of the dead, Vivien not only helps others cope with their grief but also begins to understand the devastation of her own terrible loss. The surprising connection between these two women will change Claire s life in unexpected and extraordinary ways. I enjoy the interweaving of stories that appear unconnected. Ms. Hood creates real characters that you care about and personal stories that make you want to know their resolution. I thought it was particularly poignant to have one protagonist so involved with the idea of hope, Jackie, and the Kennedy inauguration. We all know how that hope was dashed and we are still writing obituaries for that family and what might have been. Highly recommend.

Have some vintage tins laying around? Lucky you!
homophileandahalf asked:
I randomly stumbled on your blog, 45 pages later and I'm IN LOVE with your blog. It's simply WONDERFUL and I want to organize everything in my room now.
I have a million tiny tins and boxes and baskets that I intend for storage and then never know what to put in them. They end up holding a variety of things and I never know where it all is. Do you have any kind of crafty or purposful idea for little bins?
Well shucks! Thanks, I am so happy this blog inspires so many! I once had an empty box collection that took up the top of my closet. I couldn't part with such perfectly good boxes but alas I had to. So I totally feel you and your collection of little tins and boxes. I pulled a few ideas from my archives and found a few more.
This has to be my favourite. The little tins that are taller than they are wide make great caddies once you add magnets. (Or even nail a few to a board and hang the board.) Full tutorial found at Creature Comforts.
Ever since I found this photo back in January I have been on the hunt for vintage tins to make a tiered organizer for myself. Maybe you'll have more luck with the ones you already have. The tutorial can be found at Better Homes & Gardens.
Not for organizing but the most wonderful use for an Altoids tin ever! Elizabeth Abernathy is one of my favourite eco-savvy bloggers and this is just one example of why. Read how she did it at her blog Elizabeth Abernathy.
As for your little boxes, if the lids come off, they make great drawer organizers. or your bigger boxes, you could cover them in pretty paper and stack them on shelves.
With baskets, I found they work best placed here i.e. bookends with items placed in them that easy and frequent access is needed such as headphones and remotes close to a
stereo Ipod docking station.
When you talk about never being able to find anything I cannot stress how important labels are. In a perfect world we would all have a label maker or a printer with super sticker paper to make all of our labels uniform and sexy but even some chicken scratch on masking tape is better than trying to guess which tin is holding what.
I hope these ideas help you or have inspired you to do something else. Either way, please feel free to send me pictures of your solutions! Cheers,M.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The card turned out beautiful! I changed a save the date card into my retirement invitation and it turned out so beautiful! The watercolour I chose was green and gray in colour and was just what I wanted!! I used greengrass font with green and black printing,some of it was bolded for added detail. The background on the back was full of the watercoloured images. The card was on the shimmery paper and I really liked that also.! I have shown it to a few people and they all think it is stunning!!! I can't wait to send them out!!! I like the product so much I went back on and ordered Thank You cards."
"All of my friends were impressed with the beauty and quality of this invitation. Comments included," I've never seen such a beautiful invitation." Another comment was. "The quality of the invitation is exceptional!" I am very impressed with Wedding Paper Divas and am planning to order the Thank You cards as well. The quality of this product far surpassed the quality of invitation stores. Thank you for helping to make my daughter's Bridal Shower classy and unique."
"I originally requested this Thank You card to say my fiance and I's first and new last name on it. Before it was about to be shipped I had the option to review and make any changes to it if i wish, and I am so glad this company does it! I totally changed my mind on the design and requested the text to be positioned in 3 different rows that stated: Thank You from (our names here). It fit perfectly and it came in the font I wanted. All of my requests were totally different from what I originally had and Wedding Paper Divas were able to change my design into something totally different! Thank you so much!"
"we were going for a calk-board-ish theme for the thank you's to match our invites, and these turned out perfectly! great paper quality, color, print quality, etc. I worked with the customer service dept on the wording and edits and they did an awesome job in a timely manner! Highly Recommend!"
"First, I want to say all the samples they provide were so pretty. It was so difficult to choose. So in the end I went with this style and was able to make changes to my style/taste. Customer service was amazing and super quick to give me my proofs and revisios...I had my order out within a week of placing it. You cannot get better than that. ALSO, I accidently forgot to apply the coupon discount and not only did they respond quickly to my email, they reimbursed me the difference. You guys and gals are the best. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for amazing thank you cards! Liz"

Before beginning this project with the design firm imagenHB, I didn't believe it was possible to brand one of the most diverse places on earth. After a year of research, fund-raising, workshops, a documentary, and designing a web and iOS application, we're well on our way to branding the borough.
Being the massive project that it is, idBrooklyn can be broken down into four parts:
1. iOS and web application for people to post what Brooklyn is to them
2. Documentary of the journey to define the ever-changing BK identity

On May 26th, 2012, our team of Colombians and international social entrepreneurs led 250 urban actions which involved 3,000 Colombians working to take over the city of Bogotá. This independently organized project was covered nationally by El Tiempo and several television news sources. It was internationally covered by CNN.
Shortly after May 26th, we were invited to present our ideas at TEDx Pasto (see the presentation and visuals below).
The 100 En 1 Día documentary is currently being edited and produced in Denmark.
The concept was exported to several other Colombian cities and is in the process of spreading o multiple South American Countries. Please contact Frank Scott Krueger if you are interested in collaborating on this concept or something similar.

The NYPD says three elderly residents have been robbed by thieves who tricked them into letting them into their homes.
One of the suspects fooled a 71-year-old man into believing he was a worker coming to repair a neighbor's fence. While they were outside a second one allegedly ransacked the victim's home.
Authorities say the thieves are accused of committing other scams. In another incident on January 10, the scammers posed as Department of Environmental Protection workers.
As the couple that lived in the home tested the water in the kitchen and bathroom, the two suspects removed cash from their bedroom dresser and fled the home.
Both crimes have been committed in the Pelham section of the Bronx.
One of the suspects in each incident is described as White or Hispanic male, 25-35 years, 5'10" and 170 pounds.
Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
