5 Ways you are a Spartan Chick – even if you've never raced
By Heather Kokesch Del Castillo
1. You overcome obstacles every day. Whether you've set a new PR on your back squat, made a tough decision at work, or were faced with the challenge of having to be two places at once, Spartan Chicks overcome daily obstacles with the drive and courage that makes us strong in both body and spirit.
2. You think "I could never do that!" You, yes you, are a Spartan Chick! The Spartan Chicked community is backed by strong women not only physically, but also strong in will, heart, and willingness to lift up others. One woman in our Spartan Chicked community even defined the meaning of being a Spartan woman as "Doing things you never thought you could!" Even if you've never done an obstacle course race, you can work up to it with the encouragement of our empowering women's community. There are plenty of Chicks who have yet to lose their sparkle and compete in their first Spartan Race.
3. You enjoy connecting with other women on all things female. Camaraderie: a feeling of good friendship among the people in a group. Among this group you can ask anything. Which shoes and calf sleeves are best for an OCR? What should I do if my partner doesn't want to run a Spartan Race with me? How should I eat in preparation for a big race? You name it, and the Spartan Chicked group has discussed it. From racing, relationships, injuries and recoveries, to weight loss goals and accomplishments including some great before and after pictures and beyond, Chicks are here to showcase and share their powerful, smart, and capable attributes.
4. You're driven by accomplishing goals. You are strong, competitive, fearless, and always looking for new ways to challenge yourself. If in your workouts you are inspired by a variety of movements, a Spartan race will keep you guessing at every turn and ultimately test your limits. Exercise while setting the example that women are a force to be reckoned with as you pass men on the course; that is after all what it means to truly be "Chicked" – Spartan Chicks dedicated to passing dudes on the course, racing the planet, and promoting radness at every opportunity!
5. Life has handed you some serious personal challenges and you've lived to tell your story. Have you suffered through various health issues or injuries, survived beyond the end of a relationship, or witnessed a family member struggle with life's ups and downs? Guaranteed you are not alone, the Spartan Chicked community has thousands of strong women who have endured all of life's challenges, and in some cases many times over. These women share their stories daily and use their wisdom to guide others who've found themselves in the midst of a challenge. Whether you need some guidance or support, or have your own advice to share, you are welcome here. When I've asked the group to define a Spartan woman, this response made me especially happy, "It's simple. You say, 'I think I can.' Spartan chicks say, 'You will.' Then you do. Now you are part of the growing inspiration." Join us and share your story too!
You can join the Chicked community by joining our Facebook group of more than 10,000 women. To register for a Spartan Race you can go to the website and challenge yourself to a race near you, or travel to one of many awesome destinations to race with other amazing Spartan Chicks. I hope to see you on the course! Go Spartan Chicks!

A hydraulic door opener comprising a closed hydraulic circuit including a motor for actuating a door operating spring surrounded by a housing which forms a component part of the hydraulic circuit and serves as a reservoir for the hydraulic liquid.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to hydraulic door openers for manipulating swing doors or sliding doors or gates or other means for controlling traffic by vehicles or people through a passage way. In many buildings and other structures it is often desirable to control passage ways for people or vehicles by doors or gates or other means which are manipulated by devices which for simplicity in this specification are generically called "hydraulic door openers". The space available for these devices is often restricted due to the door structure and since it is often desirable from architectural and other view points that the devices are neat and not cumbersome and can be placed more or less concealed in the structure. It is also important that the devices are reliable in function over a long time and easy to service when repair may be necessary. A well-known device of the above type consists of an electric motor driven hydraulic pump which operates a hydraulic motor which in turn operates the door or gate in one direction of movement and tensions a spring whereas the spring operates the door or gate in opposite direction of movement, but said device is complicated and cumbersome and can easily get out of order. Other devices comprise linear hydraulic motors which make them still more cumbersome and often involves undesirable toothed rack structures. SUMMARY The invention solves the above and other problems and provides a device which is built up in a simple way by simple and reliable components which makes the device very flexible in application to door or gate structures of varying types. The device may be used so that the door or gate may be opened hydraulically and closed by the spring or vice versa. For these and other purposes the invention provides a hydraulic door opener comprising in combination a hydraulically operated rotary motor, a motor shaft mounted in the motor and operatively connected with door engaging means, a hydraulic liquid reservoir, a door operating spring operatively connected with the shaft, a motor-driven hydraulic pump, an actuator for the motor of the motor-driven pump, and hydraulic liquid conduits providing communication between the hydraulic pump, the hydraulically operated rotary motor and the hydraulic liquid reservoir and from the reservoir back to the pump so as to produce a closed hydraulic circuit, the rotary motor operating a door to tension the door operating spring, the hydraulic door opener being characterized by the provision of a spring housing for the door operating spring surrounding the spring and providing hydraulic liquid reservoir means forming part of said hydraulic liquid circuit. One embodiment of such a hydraulic door opener comprises in combination a frame, a transmission casing in which is mounted the rotary motor shaft and a spring shaft to which the door operating spring is fixed, and power transmitting means operable to transmit power between the spring and the rotary motor shaft, the rotary motor and the spring housing being mounted on the transmission casing which is mounted on the frame together with the door engaging means, the transmission casing and the spring housing together forming the said hydraulic liquid reservoir. In another embodiment of such a hydraulic door opener, a door engaging or carrying main shaft is mounted to turn on bearings in a bearing housing secured to the frame and a lever system is arranged to transmit turning motion from the spring shaft or the rotary motor shaft to the main shaft in one turning direction upon actuation of the rotary motor and in the opposite turning direction by the spring when the rotary motor is unactuated. The door openers according to the invention may be provided with means for producing slow motion at the end or ends of the door movement as is well-known in the art, and also with means for producing an adjustable time delay in the operation of the pump motor which may involve the use of time delay relays in an electric motor actuating circuit or dash pot means in a pneumatic pump motor circuit. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be described further, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a view from below of a swing door opener according to the invention intended for mounting in the floor below a door hinge; FIG. 2 is a side view (turned through 90.degree.) of the door opener in FIG. 1 with a cover and part of the floor in section; FIG. 3 is a partial section of the door opener of FIG. 1 along lines III--III in FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is a view from above embodiment of a door opener according to the invention intended for being fitted on the wall above a swing door; FIG. 5 is a section on lines V--V in FIG. 4; FIG. 6 is a section on lines VI--VI in FIGS. 3 and 5. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The hydraulic door opener illustrated in FIGS. 1-3 provides simple and space saving means for operating a swing door by a unit disposed in the floor below the hinge portion of the door in an easily acessible position and provided with means for carrying or engaging the lower part of the door frame. This opener consists of a frame 1, which is adapted to be fitted in the floor structure below the hinge side of a swing door, and carries a motor driven hydraulic pump 2, 3, which in the illustrated embodiment consists of an electric motor 2 which through a bearing and coupling housing 4 is coupled to a hydraulic liquid pump 3 of a conventional gear type. The frame 1, furthermore, carries a transmission casing 5 secured to the frame by bolts 6 and carrying a hydraulically operated rotary motor comprising a working cylinder 7, a motor shaft 8 and a vane type piston 9 secured to the shaft. Suitable high grade resinous sealing ribs 10 are provided along the piston edges to produce perfect seals. The motor is capable of turning through an angle of some 150.degree.-300.degree. as circumstances may require. The motor shaft 8 is mounted in bearings 11,12 in the transmission casing and the working cylinder end cover 13 and its axis is perpendicular to that of the electric motor 2. The transmission casing 5 carries a door closing spring housing 14 which contains a torsional helical spring 15 which consists of a number of turns of flat spring steel mounted with the flat sides in juxtaposition to provide a very stiff spring and connected with one end to an end cover 16 of the spring housing 14 as at 17 and at the opposite end to a spring or auxiliary shaft 18 as at 19. The spring shaft is mounted in bearings 26,21 in the transmission casing 5 and spring housing cover 16 and ample seals 22 prevent escape of hydraulic liquid from the spring housing which serves as a hydraulic liquid reservoir for the hydraulic circuit of the door opener. 14 and 5 communicate to form the reservoir.
The transmission casing 5 contains two toothed gear wheels 23,24 secured on the shafts 8 and 18 and providing a suitable power transmitting ratio between these shafts which are mounted in bearings in the transmission casing 5 and covers 13,16. Naturally the wheels 23,24 may be replaced by sprockets and an endless chain cooperating therewith. The working cylinder 7 and spring housing 14 are secured to the transmission casing by bolts 27. The suction side of the pump 3 communicates with the hydraulic liquid reservoir in the spring housing 14 through a hose 28 and the pressure side of the pump 3 communicates with one side 26' of the motor piston 9 through a hose 29 through a check valve 30 which prevents backflow towards the pump when it is idle. The hydraulic motor 7 communicates with the reservoir in the spring housing 14 through a hose 31. During a door opening operation the piston 9 swings from its position in FIG. 6 through an angle depending on the design of the opener. During door closing operation the spring 15 swings the piston 9 back into FIG. 6 position. In order to enable the piston to return to its closed door position after having made an opening stroke a special check valve 32 may be provided in the piston 9 or in a radial wall 33 in the turning motor cylinder 7. The valve 32 permits hydraulic liquid to pass from the pressure side 26' of the piston to the relieved side when the spring 15 swings the piston back to closed door position. Valve 32 may consist of a spool valve closing the passage 25 against spring pressure when the pump runs and opening the passage when it comes to rest. The motion of the motor piston 9 and shaft 8 is transmitted to a door carrying or engaging main shaft 34 which is carried in radial and thrust bearings 35,36 in a bearing housing 37 secured to the underside of the frame 1 by bolts 38. The motion transmission from the turning motor shaft 8 is carried over the gear wheels 23,24 to the spring shaft 18 and a lever system comprising an arm 39 fixed to the spring shaft and pivotally connected to a link 40, which is pivotally connected to a bent arm 41 swingable on a pivot 42 on the bearing housing 37. A link 43 pivotally connects the arm 41 to a main shaft arm 44 secured to the lower end of the main shaft 34. (Alternatively the lever system may be connected to the motor shaft 8) The upper end of the main shaft 34 is formed with a door engaging socket 45 which has a transverse groove 46 in which the door wing may be secured or otherwise fitted. The illustrated lever system produces a turning motion of 90.degree.-95.degree. of the main shaft 34 upon a turning motion through about 160.degree. of the spring or auxiliary shaft 18 and a corresponding or larger turning motion of the motor shaft 8. The spring 15, which may have some pre-tension (for instance equivalent to turning the shaft 8 or the shaft 18 through about 15.degree.), is further tensioned by the opening motion of the door and afterwards produces the closing motion of the door. The floor structure in which the opener is fitted is indicated at 47 and a protective cover at 61 a. The operation of the door opener is controlled by an actuator 48 which may be an electric switch operated by a push button or an other device and which after being pressed in remains closed for a predetermined time period which is controlled by a time delay relay 49 both provided in the electric line 50 to the pump motor. When the push button of the switch 48 has been pressed, the motor 2 starts and drives the pump for the period set by the time delay relay which is sufficient for fully opening the door. When the motor has stopped, the spring 15 returns the door to closed position if desired after further time delay. Means for reducing the turning speed at both ends of the door swinging stroke may be provided in well-known ways. The opener does not prevent manual operation of the door. In the embodiment illustrated on FIGS. 4-6 equivalent elements to those above described are indicated with the same reference numerals and not described again. This embodiment is intended for mounting above a door wing 51 of a swing door but may also be mounted on the door or divided in two parts, one being on the door and the other on the frame. It provides simple and space saving opening and closing means having easily accessible and serviceable elements. The illustrated opener consists of a base plate 52 fixed to the wall 59 in any suitable way, as by screws, and carrying a motor driven hydraulic pump 2,3, a rotary motor cylinder 7 and a spring housing 14. In this case, however, the cylinder 7 and housing 14 are mounted coaxially on each side of an intermediate wall 53 and provided with a common shaft 54, which extends through the motor cylinder 7 and carries the vane type piston 9 and through the spring housing 14 in which the spring 15 is secured to the shaft as at 19. This gives a very compact unit in which a direct passage 55 between the cylinder 7 and the reservoir housing 14 replaces hose 31 in FIG. 1. Using the spring housing as liquid reservoir also saves valuable space and makes the whole unit neat. The shaft 54 has secured thereon an arm 56 which is pivotally connected to a link 57 which in turn is pivotally connected to a bracket 58 fixed to the door wing 51 which may swing on a hinge 60. The motor and spring housing unit together with the motor-pump unit are enclosed by a protective cover 61 fixed on the base plate 52. As mentioned before, the motor-pump unit may be disposed in a separate cover remote from the door, for instance in the ceiling. The door opener in FIGS. 4-6 is operated by a time delay switch 48,49 which may be situated in any convenient place near the door as at the door frame or remote from the door for operation by a watchman or the like. Operation via wireless signals from a small portable transmitter which activates the actuator may also be made, the illustrated actuator being shown as an example only. The door opener may also be pneumatically operated when electric power is not available or undesirable with regard to fire hazards, and the motor 2 is then replaced by a pneumatic motor and the electric actuator by a pneumatic time delay relay valve. The embodiments above described should only be considered as examples and may be modified in various ways within the scope of the claims. The heavy dot and dash lines in FIGS. 1 and 4 show links and arms 39, 41, 43, 44 and 56 in the open door position.

How does the Sun work?
1. If the Sun is hot: why don't satellites passing much closer to it burn up?
2. If we climb high up a mountain and get closer to the Sun, why is it colder?
3. If the Sun emanates light, why is it dark in space even "under the Sun? Wouldn't it be logical to think that there is some plasma activity radiating out of the Sun through even dark empty space, causing a chemical or nuclear reaction on Earth which creates heat?
Closing Statement from veronika petrics
I think the Sun is more complex and mysterious still to fully know then getting a clear answe here. Thank you all.

Oct 23 2012: I thought, the spectroscope can not register temperature. because it does not register the rays which carry the heat force..prisoms are clear white, the heat carrying rays are dark.(Tyndall's experiment )The rays and forces coming out of the Sun are those which control the movements of the bodies of the solar system: MAGNETIC forces.
I suspect the Sun has a cold fusion body....but creates heat hitting the Earth and planets atmospheres..

Nokia to integrate Windows on all phones, but grab for market share could be tough.
The new guy at mobile phone maker Nokia, CEO Stephen Elop, turned the company's world upside down when he announced Feb. 11 that "Windows Phone is our primary smartphone platform going forward." The company is taking its longstanding Symbian mobile operating system and throwing it in the trash. This is quite a move for any manufacturer to make.
Nokia is one of the top makers of mobile phones, smart and dumb, in the world. But in recent years its Symbian system has taken a huge market share hit from Apple Inc.'s iOS and Google Inc.'s Android. In Q3 2010, Symbian was far behind smartphone OS leaders iOS, BlackBerry (which also is getting eaten alive by Apple and Google) and Android. Windows Phone was a distant fourth to the big three.
So the idea is a fading star, Symbian, and a stagnant giant, Windows, can join forces and take the smartphone world by storm. While the market share for Windows Phone smartphones will certainly jump in 2012, when Nokia says it will begin shipping the new phones en masse, I have my doubts that it can overtake the iPhone or Android.
A new report from Forrester Research Inc. entitled "Nokia And Microsoft Tie The Smartphone Knot" says it all.
"The Symbian platform is practically invisible in North America, while iPhones and Android-based phones have grabbed market share," write Ian Fogg and Charles S. Golvin. "While Nokia and Microsoft bring complementary technologies and skills together, to succeed they must execute flawlessly and with alacrity in a market that is innovating at a remarkable pace."
Apple and Android are so far ahead of Microsoft in the realm of smartphones that Microsoft has one of the biggest uphill battles to fight in the technology industry.
The report goes on. "Nokia found its market disrupted in just a few years by competitors, including Apple (with its iOS-based devices) and a number of handset makers employing Google's Android operating system. Nokia rightfully acknowledges that the market has transitioned from just phones to a broader ecosystem of devices, software, user experience, applications and content—a total product experience. Consumer product strategists throughout the mobile ecosystem must prepare for reinvigorated fresh entrants—both Windows Phone and Nokia—but the union's success faces many questions, primary among them: Is differentiation possible?"
Apple has been and continues to be the leader in innovation in the smartphone and smartphone app markets. Android is quickly catching up. Nokia and Microsoft would have to create stunning innovations, and plenty of them, in building a new mobile ecosystem. And let me tell ya', so far, Windows Phone has been a dud.
"Product strategists building applications for the expanding portfolio of smart connected devices today place Apple's iOS and Google's Android at the top of their priority list, with BlackBerry, Symbian, [Palm's] webOS and Windows Phone a distant collective third place," Fogg and Golvin conclude. "Even if this collaboration bears all of its hoped-for fruit, the installed base of Windows Phone devices will be far outstripped by those of Android and Apple for the rest of 2011 at least. In contrast to applications built for Android, iOS and webOS, those targeting Windows Phone devices today will exclusively target phones and won't scale to tablets, further reducing the strategic value of committing primary development resources to Microsoft's platform."
I think the marriage of Nokia and Windows Phone is a smart move for two players desperate to make headway with a technology that's key to the future, but I think they're too late to the game. And with the introduction of the mega-popular iPad tablet, which runs Apple's iOS, and tablets running Android, this leaves Windows Phone in the mobile dust.
But I'll be keeping a sharp eye on what Nokia and Windows Phone can bring to the smartphone table that's different from what the iPhone and Android offer. They certainly have the potential to knock the shrinking BlackBerry down a peg, but compete with the iPhone or Android? I don't think so.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. says it will close two coal-powered generating stations near Walterboro by the end of the year.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported (http://bit.ly/13EZ58t) that SCE&G will close the plants at the Canadys Station four years ahead of the previous schedule. SCE&G originally had planned to covert the plants to use natural gas before retiring them in 2017.
The Cayce-based utility closed another coal-fired plant last year.
The plants are among the company's oldest and smallest coal-fired plants, ranging 45 to 57 years old.
SCE&G's Steve Byrne says retiring the plants will help the company meet stronger environmental regulations.
The two plants near Walterboro employ nearly 70 workers. Byrne says the utility will help them find other positions with the company.

Pregnancy by week
Your Child's 1st 24 months
It's so easy these days –you open a box with a stick in it – go to the loo and pee on the indicated end. Minutes later you have a relatively accurate result and you know if you are pregnant or not.
Before the first home pregnancy test was developed in 1976 women had to rely on the early signs and symptoms their body was giving them before having their pregnancy confirmed by a doctor.
For women who have been trying to conceive, taking an early pregnancy test is a big moment. The whole "am I or aren't I?" question is about to be answered and the emotions tied up with the big reveal cannot be overestimated.
But repeatedly taking tests can get expensive and so disappointing if they're negative again and again.
So when is a realistic time to take an early pregnancy test to both minimize expense and disappointment?
To answer that it's best to learn how they work and how your body changes in those early days of pregnancy.
How They Worktop
Home pregnancy tests detect the presence of the pregnancy hormone hCG (Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), in your urine.
Your body starts to produce hCG when a fertilised egg implants in your uterus and is secreted by the cells which will go on to form your baby's placenta. It can usually be detected in your urine from about six to 14 days after fertilisation.
Ideally women should wait until they've missed a period and felt some pregnancy symptoms before testing. Then the early pregnancy test would simply confirm what they already strongly suspect.
But who can wait? Of course women who are trying to get pregnant and are desperate to conceive will want to start testing almost immediately after intercourse!
How soon should I test?top
A really early pregnancy test is very unlikely to be accurate. Assuming intercourse happens at the right time in the menstrual cycle it can then take sperm up to five days to travel up and actually fertilise the egg.
However, within 24 hours after ovulation the egg will begin to disintegrate and fertilisation will no longer be possible. So timing really is key.
Once the egg is fertilised, it has to travel the rest of the way down the fallopian tube and into the uterus where it will implant in the prepared lining. This implantation usually occurs 5 – 7 days after ovulation.
Then you have to wait for hormone levels to rise high enough to be detected on a test. When you decide to test, try not to drink too much beforehand, as it could dilute the levels of hCG in your urine.
hCG, the pregnancy hormone, doubles every 48 – 72 hours, so testing every other day is a good idea if you're unsure.
The earliest that you should test is seven DPO - days past ovulation (our Emma's Diary week-by-week pregnancy guide starts at week one) ). Any sooner and it's likely the embryo won't have had time to implant yet. Only a very small number of women will get a positive test at 7 or 8 DPO. It is still very early to test and it also assumes that you are exactly right about which day you ovulated.
More women can get a positive test 9 – 11 DPO. This is within that "5 days before your missed period" window that most tests state they can show a positive for.
But some women will still not show up at this point.
The best early pregnancy test time is 12 – 14 DPO, or just before you expect your period. At this point the egg should be nicely nestled in and have started to produce the necessary hormones to turn the test positive. If it has implanted outside the uterus (ectopic pregnancy) then hormone levels might be too low to detect pregnancy.
A few women will not get a positive test until 15 – 18 DPO, or after they have missed a period. And a very small percentage will not get a positive test until they are two or more weeks late.
If you are late and still getting negative tests, you can see a doctor for a blood test.
However, most commonly, stress or other factors may have delayed ovulation and you are not actually late.
If you're trying for a baby, you can take your temperature all month long. If you note the temperature rise that indicates ovulation has taken place, keep taking your temperature. If, after 18 days, your temperature is still high and you haven't had a period, there's a very good chance that you are pregnant.
Are all tests the same?top
Some pregnancy tests are more sensitive than others. The most sensitive tests can tell you're pregnant even if you have only a small amount of hCG in your system.
Read the information that comes in the test box. Concentrations of hCG are reported in milli-International Units (mIU) per millilitre. A test with a sensitivity of 20 mIU/ml is more sensitive than one with a sensitivity of 50 mIU/ml.
Some tests may recommend that you use the first urine of the day as levels of hCG become more concentrated in your urine overnight
For many tests you simply have to pee on a test stick. For others you may have to catch your urine in a small cup, and dip a testing strip into your sample. Or a dropper may be provided to place a small sample into a testing well.
Some tests show pink or blue lines on the test strip. Others reveal a plus or minus sign, or change the colour of your urine sample. Digital tests display the words "pregnant" or "not pregnant" in a window, and some give an estimate of how many weeks ago you conceived.
Are the tests accurate?top
Home pregnancy tests are accurate if you follow the directions. But some are more sensitive, others are easier to use and interpret, so if funds allow it may be worth buying a couple of different ones.
Remember though that if you test too early you may get a false negative result because not enough of the hormone has built up in your system. Wait four or five days before testing again.
False positives, when the test says you're pregnant but you're not, are rare but not impossible. Some medicines such as fertility drugs, which contain hCG, may affect the test results.
Where can I buy a pregnancy test?top
You don't need a prescription for a pregnancy test, they are widely available in chemist shops and supermarkets. You can also buy them online.
>Would I need a blood test confirmation?top
Women are sometimes given blood tests by their GP to confirm pregnancy. These also work by tracing hCG levels, but are far more sensitive than a urine test and can tell whether you're pregnant as soon as your fertilised egg has implanted.
In early pregnancy, before a foetal heartbeat can be detected on a scan, or where there is bleeding and there is uncertainty about whether the pregnancy is continuing, Hcg levels can help: if they are rising sufficiently they can point to a healthy pregnancy.

I purchased this for myself as I love to wear my faith as well as I own many of Lisa Leonard's pieces and LOVE them. This necklace is as beautiful as the picture shows. It is well made and worth purchasing!
This cross is very nearly perfect. It is not too feminine (which is important because I just ordered a second one for my son) and it fits with our understanding of faith so well. Incidentally, what led me to purchase it is that my son made an ornament for our tree that was a cross with a heart on it, which he called "my heart for Jesus" shortly after I saw this and knew if it was not super-feminine, I would order one for him, but Mama wanted one first to remind her of her son's amazing heart. It is a beautiful piece of jewelry and an incredibly powerful symbol. My only quibble is that the chain for it is very short. I ended up swapping to a different chain and will put his on a more, um, masculine style chain :).
I'm leading a ladies retreat this fall and the cross with a heart is my symbol so this was perfect -- I'll wear it the weekend of the retreat.
I was looking for a casual cross to wear this summer and this is it. I have received several compliments and asked where I purchased it. I love it!
These are beautiful and look "heartfelt". I loved them and the two that received them loved them as well. Thank you, we all were delighted!

In March, we told you about some extra-cute Doxies who were rescued from a hoarding situation.
A few of the adult Dachshunds had behavioral challenges that required extensive treatment, and they were transported to the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center for dogs at St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center in Madison, New Jersey.
These dogs formed part of the inaugural class at the rehab center, which is why we're extra excited to tell you that four of them—Pepper, Caramel, Lilly and Chrysanthemum—have just become its first graduates!
We're not the only ones spreading the word: The New York Post even covered the pups' graduation.
The dogs will now go on to find loving homes at St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center, where they are now available for adoption. We're so proud!
Update: We are thrilled to report that all four Dachshunds have been adopted.
Woodchuck, Clint and Groucho love each other, and it's the cutest darned thing. All three were rescued from the same hoarding situation, and at first they were really shy. But now they've all come out of their shells and are ready to go home—and what they'd really love is the chance to go home together.
These three have a huge fan in Senior Feline Behavior Counselor Katie Watts. "Woodchuck, Clint and Groucho are the cutest threesome! They spend at least half of their day in a big cat pile," she told us. "Just now I saw all three crowded onto one small bed. There wasn't quite room for all three, so Clint was sitting on top of the other two." Adorable!
Woodchuck and Clint are a bonded pair, so they must go home together. Groucho must live with another cat—Woodchuck and Clint, another adoptable, or your resident feline—just so long as he has a kitty buddy to snuggle with.
To adopt Woodchuck and Clint or Groucho—or all three—please contact the ASPCA Adoption Center in NYC at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120.
As you've probably figured out, we love shelter pets! Rescuing an animal from a shelter saves lives, and you get lots of unconditional love in return. That's why we're so happy to see the entire state of Colorado put them front and center!
Yesterday, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, accompanied by his own rescue dog, Sky, signed into law a bill making shelter dogs and cats the state's official pet, The Denver Post reports. The bill, "Concerning the designation of dogs and cats that are adopted from Colorado Animal Shelters and rescues as the state pets," was proposed by schoolchildren and signed into law at the Denver Animal Shelter.
Other states have chosen a specific dog breed to honor as state pet, but Colorado is honoring any dog or cat adopted from a shelter! How awesome is that?
If you're interested in a shelter animal of your own, please visit our virtual Adoption Center! Join the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #ShelterPets.
By now, you've probably seen Tardar Sauce, aka "Grumpy Cat." This famous feline took the Internet by storm in September 2012 thanks to her unique look. We're big fans of Grumpy Cat, but never imagined there could be an even grumpier cat. That is, until we met Lex!
Lex might look a bit grumpy, but we knew he had plenty of love to give. It took him awhile, but we're happy to report Lex has just found a home!
On Monday, Lex was adopted by a loving family and may even find his way to a cat-loving Internet near you soon! Who knows?
If you're interested in finding your own grumpy cat—or just a feline friend—please visit our Adoption section. Already have a grumpy-looking feline? Tweet us a pic using hashtag #GrumpierCat.
West Coast dogs are on the move! On Saturday, 68 adoptable dogs traveled from Southern California to shelters in Washington where they'll have a better chance to find loving homes. The dogs traveled by plane, car—and even helicopter!
The dogs left Los Angeles Animal Services' West Valley Shelter and Best Friends Pet Adoption & Spay Neuter Center on Saturday morning and headed for the Long Beach airport! They were loaded onto 22 planes flown by volunteer pilots with Pilots N Paws, sponsored in part by Subaru, and began their voyage north. In Fresno, California, the dogs boarded a second set of planes, and Pilots N Paws volunteer pilots flew them the rest of the way to Northern California.
Check out our photo album on Facebook of this amazing trip!
After landing at the airport in Redding, the dogs were met by vans funded by the ASPCA and driven by volunteers and staff from Kitsap Humane Society in Silverdale, Wash. After receiving walks, dinner and fresh water, the dogs were driven overnight to Kitsap Humane Society and Seattle Humane Society (in Bellevue, Washington), where they will eventually be available for adoption.
About 100 more Southern California dogs are awaiting their rides tomorrow. Stay tuned to ASPCA.org for updates!

A model for how the focus groups could play an even more strategic role in the future is given by MEPAG and its emulators,11 the Outer Planets Analysis Group (OPAG),12 the Venus Exploration Analysis Group (VEXAG),13 and the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group (LEAG).14 Through the drafting and promotion of timely white papers and, more importantly, the systematic documentation of key scientific goals and objectives, and by defining investigations and priorities for their respective areas of interest,15 the "AGs" have played an important role in NASA's strategic planning exercises. Moreover, such groups provide a forum at which scientists can interact with their engineering counterparts and form the partnerships essential to the design of future spacecraft missions.
The NAI could further promote the astrobiology community's contribution to planned and future missions by building on the present missions that include some astrobiology goals, for example the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), scheduled for launch in September 2009. One of the key questions to be addressed by MSL is the critical astrobiology objective to investigate the past and present habitability of Mars (i.e., the planet's potential for supporting life of any kind). To perform this task the MSL payload includes several instruments that will assess the biological potential of several special regions on Mars, characterize the geology and geochemistry of those regions, investigate the planetary processes that influence habitability, and measure the surface radiation environment. The NAI should actively promote one or more focus groups to build on MSL's habitability strategy by helping to define the scientific requirements and goals for a follow-up mission—such as the proposed Astrobiology Field Laboratory—that has the principal goal of determining if life has ever developed on Mars. A similar approach can be adopted for other potential missions that will contribute to achieving the scientific goals outlined in the Astrobiology Roadmap.
With respect to the goal of providing scientific and technical leadership on astrobiology investigations for current and future space missions, the committee finds that the NAI has:
Encouraged astrobiologists to provide needed recommendations and expertise to NASA for mission planning.
Promoted the participation of astrobiologists in the science teams for current and future missions. This has been an effective mechanism for involving life scientists and others in NASA programs.
Organized activities, such as focus groups, that have strongly influenced NASA missions. There are many factors that help determine a NASA mission, but this is an important way to ensure that the science is as relevant as possible.
Identified astrobiology questions that underpin most of NASA's current flight programs. The potential discovery of the existence of life on worlds other than Earth is certainly one of the most important reasons for many NASA missions. But it must be remembered that the goals of astrobiology go beyond the search for life and encompass a far richer and broader set of questions relating to the origin and co-evolution of life and habitable environments. This breadth of goals gives astrobiology great resilience in the face of short-term programmatic changes.
The NRC's 2003 review of NASA's Astrobiology program recommended that "an important operational goal of astrobiology is to inform NASA missions with respect to the techniques and targets for the search for life elsewhere, and the search for clues to the steps leading to the origin of life on Earth."16 The committee endorses this recommendation and suggests that the most critical function of the NAI is to remain central to NASA spaceflight programs.
Recommendation: Because its most critical function is to ensure that its research activities clearly contribute to NASA's current and future spaceflight activities, the NAI should be more proactive in identifying future astrobiology missions. In addition, the NAI should actively encourage a partnership between astrobiologists and their engineering counterparts to help define future NASA missions. Although the committee
