An internationally recognized expert in tax law, Professor McCaffery studies tax policy, tax structures, public finance theory including behavioral public finance, as well as property law and theory, intellectual property, and law and economics. He teaches Federal Income Taxation, Property, Intellectual Property, and Tax Law and Policy at USC, Law and Economics and Law and Technology at the California Institute of Technology.
Professor McCaffery also teaches Corporate Taxation, Federal Income Taxation, Partnership Taxation, Property and a Tax Policy seminar.
Professor McCaffery's scholarship has been widely cited by economists, government officials, journalists and policy analysts. Among his publications are his recent books, Behavioral Public Finance (which McCaffery co-edited); Fair Not Flat: How to Make the Tax System Better and Simpler, which proposes a tax system based on taxing spending rather than income; and Taxing Women, which examines how working women suffer under current tax laws. Other publications include Rethinking the Vote: The Politics and Prospects of American Election Reform, which he co-edited. Another book, A New Understanding of Property, will be published later this year.
His other writings include "Cognitive Theory and Tax," "Framing the Jury: Cognitive Perspectives on Pain and Suffering Awards" (with Daniel Kahneman and Matthew Spitzer), and "Slouching Towards Equality: Gender Discrimination, Market Efficiency, and Social Change." Dean McCaffery has served as an official consultant to the Russian Federation to help design a comprehensive tax code. Prior to joining the USC faculty, Professor McCaffery practiced law with a San Francisco law firm.
A summa cum laude graduate of Yale University, Professor McCaffery received his J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and a master's degree in economics from USC. He served as a clerk to Chief Justice Robert N. Wilentz of the New Jersey Supreme Court and was an attorney with Titchell, Maltman, Mark, Bass, Ohleyer & Mishell before joining the USC Law faculty in 1989. He held the Maurice Jones, Jr., Professorship in Law from 1998 to 2004 and has served as a visiting professor of law and economics at the California Institute of Technology since 1994. He has chaired the USC Institute on Federal Taxation since 1997, and he found the USC-Caltech Center for the Study of Law and Politics and served as its director from 2000 to 2003. He is an elected fellow of the American Law Institute (ALI) and the American College of Tax Counsel. Professor McCaffery also is counsel to the Los Angeles office of Seyfarth Shaw LLP.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre: All's Well That Ends Well
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL aligns the romantic against the realistic at every turn and brilliantly reverses all the usual expectations of Shakespearean comedy. Some of Shakespeare's most inventive language gives life to not just his single-minded heroine and her churlish lover, but a fantastic cast of frauds, cynics, sentimentalists and buffoons.

How not to attribute climate change
In an earlier post, we discussed a review article by Frohlich et al. on solar activity and its relationship with our climate. We thought that paper was quite sound. This September saw a new article in the Geophysical Research Letters with the title «Phenomenological solar signature in 400 years of reconstructed Northern Hemisphere temperature record» by Scafetta & West (henceforth referred to as SW). This article has now been cited by US Senator James Inhofe in a senate hearing that took place on 25 September 2006 . SW find that solar forcing accounts for ~50% of 20C warming, but this conclusion relies on some rather primitive correlations and is sensitive to assumptions (see recent post by Gavin on attribution). We said before that peer review is a necessary but not sufficient condition. So what wrong with it…?
The greatest flaw, I think, lies in how their novel scale-by-scale transfer sensitivity model (they call it "SbS-TCSM") is constructed. Coefficients, that they call transfer functions, are estimated by taking the difference between the mean temperature of the 18th and 17th centuries, and then dividing this by the difference in the averages of the total solar irradiances for the corresponding centuries. Thus:
Z = [ T(18th C.) – T(17th C.) ] / [ I(18th C.) – I(17th C.) ]
Here T(.) is the temperature average for the century while I(.) is the irradiance average. If the two terms, I(18th C.) & I(17th C.), in the denominator have very similar values, then the problem is ill-conditioned: small variations in the input values lead to large changes in the answers; which implies very large
error bounds. In my physics undergraduate course, we learned that one should stay away from analyses based on the difference between two large but almost equal numbers, especially when their accuracy is not exceptional. And using differences of two large and similar figures in a denominator is asking for trouble.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Emphysema —air sacs of lungs are damaged
- Chronic bronchitis —airways of lungs are damaged
|Normal and Emphysemic Lung
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
- Cigarette smoking
- Inhaling toxins or other irritants
- Genetic predisposition that makes the lungs more vulnerable to damage from smoke or pollutants—includes alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency
Risk Factors
- Smoking cigarettes
- Long-term exposure to secondhand or passive smoke (in any form)
- Family members with COPD
- Exposure to pollutants
- History of frequent childhood lung infections
- Smoking "exotic" forms of tobacco, such as Chinese waterpipes
- Coughing
- Increased sputum production—mucus from deep in the lungs
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath with activity
- Increased shortness of breath
- Choking sensation when lying flat
- Fatigue
- Trouble concentrating
- Weight loss
- Breathing through pursed lips
- Desire to lean forward to improve breathing
- Periods of more severe symptoms
- Lung function tests (spirometry)—to test the force of your breath
- Blood test—to test oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood
Smoking Cessation
- Behavior change program
- Medication
- Combination of behavior program and medication
Environmental Management
- Opening the airways
- Relaxing the breathing passages
- Decreasing inflammation
- Treating lung infections (antibiotics)
Breathing and Coughing Techniques
- Pursed-lip breathing
- Controlled coughing technique
- Eat a healthy diet. It should be low in saturated fat. It should also be rich in fruits, vegetables , and whole grain foods.
- Maintain a normal weight. Excess weight causes the lungs and heart to work harder.
- It may be hard to eat because you feel full. Try eating several smaller meals during the day. This is better than a few large meals.
- Slow down your eating pace. This will make it easier to breathe.
- If you need to gain weight, add food or drinks throughout the day. Talk to a dietitian about how many calories you need each day.
Lifestyle Changes
- Pace your activities.
- Learn relaxation techniques and other methods to manage stress.
- Seek emotional support from professionals, family, and friends. Anxiety can increase the rate of respiration. This makes breathing more strenuous.
- If you smoke, quit.
- Avoid exposure to second-hand smoke.
- Avoid exposure to air pollution or irritants.
- Wear protective gear if exposed to irritants or toxins at work.

School Trek - Edge of Sahara
Morocco, School Expeditions, 366 days - from £595 (land only) - from €835 (land only) - from $980 (land only)
- Full days of trekking on desert terrain
- Learn about the culture of the Berber people
- Sleep out in the desert beneath the stars
- Explore the 1000 year old city of Marrakech
- A trek with a Berber crew and camel support
This superb School Adventure begins with a drive south from Marrakech, across the Atlas and through the Draa Valley, to a fixed camp amongst the palm groves at Ouled Driss. Here, we meet our Berber cook team and Saharan camel drivers and set off on an unforgettable journey into the desert. We walk for around 6 hours a day, stopping for a leisurely lunch in a shaded spot and camping each night on the open sand of the dunes - beneath the star-filled Saharan skies. Taking tea with the local crew around the camp fire, hiking on little-used trails and watching the sun set between the highest dune-crests are all part of this magical desert holiday. Starting out on the dry bed of the Draa River and reaching a high point at the great dunes of Zahar, this is a winter walking holiday with a difference! This tried and tested KE Schools itinerary can be adjusted to better fit the needs of your group - please call and speak to a KE School Groups Coordinator or email email@example.com
Is this holiday for you?
This holiday involves walking for 6 to 7 hours each day over a variety of terrain from hard rock to soft desert sand. All our camping and personal equipment is carried by camels so it is only necessary to carry a small daypack with daily essentials such as water bottle and camera. Winter daytime temperatures in the desert are not too hot and walking at this time of year should be quite comfortable. We camp in the desert for 3 nights and at a fixed camp with shower facilities for 2 nights.

Practice Philosophy
Cosmetic surgery to enhance one's appearance is a major decision. Our goal is to make you feel as informed as possible and explore all of you options. We encourage you to ask any questions you may have. We want you to feel confident and knowledgeable about us as well as the procedures you are considering.
Plastic Surgery
Every patient is scheduled for a private and thorough consultation with our Board Certified surgeon before surgery. The consultation provides an opportunity to explore your options and discuss your procedures in detail. You will have the opportunity to be imaged before surgery and you will also be able to view video tapes describing many of the procedures.
We are affiliated with West Florida Surgery Center, a fully accredited and federally licensed outpatient facility. With the majority of procedures done here, you will be able to return to your home within a few hours of your surgery to recuperate in your own familiary surroundings.

Hockey under a retractable dome? It's true! Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena, opened in 1961, is one of the most unique arenas ever built, and amazingly, is now the oldest NHL facility still in use. Originally built as the home for the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, the building soon turned into the city's center of hockey, housing the AHL Pittsburgh Hornets until the Penguins NHL expansion franchise was awarded in 1967. After two decades of primarily atrocious hockey, Mario Lemieux arrived, and Mellon became one of the centers of the hockey universe! While it lacks the luxury suites and modern amenities of many newer arenas, Mellon has witnessed countless great moments in its history, including the back-to-back Stanley Cup Championship teams of 1990-91 and 1991-92. This poster, featuring the spectacular photography of Mike Smith, gives you a broad view of the arena on game night, with a packed house enjoying another Penguins victory over the New York Islanders. You can even see Mario on the bench, waiting to hit the ice for his next shift! For long-time fans of the Pens, this poster will bring back a rush of glorious memories with every glance - deserving of a nice frame and a prominent space on the wall at home or office.

With a few simple supplies (get your stapler loaded!), a little time, and absolutely no prior experience needed, you can make your own gorgeous custom tote bag today!
Step 1: Materials
- Fabric - something a bit sturdy works better. I used a donation scrap of what I think was upholstery fabric. I made the bag as big as the scrap would allow, which turned out to be 10"x18"
- Duct tape - get a color you like to coordinate with your fabric. This was my first go, so I just used what was around. The next one will get something fancy!
- Scissors to cut your fabric
- Stapler + staples (oh yes)
- *Optional (but awesome) - two tiny strong magnets
I made one for my good friend Kleenie's birthday. I added some duct tape roses (she's very fond of red roses). I wrapped the roses on some M3 nuts mounted on a bolt, removed the bolt and cut a flat bottom end to each rose. Then I attached each rose to the back of a snap fastener half with the bolt. I put in a washer in between an carefully added a drop of superglue to lock the thread and add strength to the attachment.
I AM obviously clumsy! I just did not read it 'till the end! GREAT tutorial! I'm making one... at least!!!! Thank you!
I adore this idea! Maybe i'm a bit clumsy but... Where do the staples come in?
Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing. These are look really neat! I'm a big fan of duct tape and I'm sure to try it out soon. :) I read in another comment about sewing instead of stapling and you advised against it because it could jam up the machine. How about hand sewing then, do you think that could work?
I have been to instructables numerous time before. But only today created an account just to let you know that I love this tutorial and I am sure I'll be trying it pretty soon.
I love the idea of duct tape as lining. If done neatly, this could be a convertible tote - for beach, for shopping or just as a stylish bag to carry your stuff around.
Well that is just so sweet. Thank you!
Ps great design, on about my 5th variation.
Stay tuned for more duct tape instructables, with pockets coming soon!
spoiler alert
the next one uses a zipper! subscribe to me to stay on the cutting edge!

Guess who just became available for adoption?? Briana, the starving, injured German Shepherd mix who was found tethered in a yard back in August.
Here's what Briana was dealing with when she came to us: starvation, dehydration, flea infestation and, perhaps most horrifying, a deep neck wound from a collar left on so long it became embedded in her flesh.
Briana recovered beautifully over several months, revealing herself to be a mellow, soulful lady who loves to play with toys and receive attention from people.
Know anyone who'd be interested in ringing in the new year with a loyal companion like Briana? Check out her page for more info.
This resilient, amazing pup deserves to learn what a loving home is like.
Can't give Briana a home but still want to help? Donate to the ASPCA before January 1 and you'll receive a 2012 tax break.

Patty Schnyder had straight-set win against Ana on Tuesday to reach the second round of the Porsche Grand Prix.
Schnyder converted her fourth match point to beat Serbia-Montenegro's Ivanovic, who has risen from 97th to 18th in the rankings this year, in 53 minutes.
Known for her aggressive style, Ivanovic made twice as many unforced errors (26-13) as her opponent and often followed a volleyed winner with an easy miss.
"I expected it to be tougher against her," Schnyder said. "But a few missed shots and losses of serve and it can go pretty fast out there. This was a tough first-round opponent."
Ivanovic, who rose a last-year record 608 ranking spots, won her first title at Canberra in January. She then beat Amelie Mauresmo at the French Open en route to the quarterfinals.

She Said Chair
by Mattiazzi
designed by Nitzan Cohen
Named to reflect a conversation between a man and a woman, the She Said Chair is a softer version of its mate, the He Said Chair. The She Said Chair is stackable, and has beautiful solid wood carpentry that can add beauty to any room in your home. It's available in four wood finishes.
Designer Nitzan Cohen is known for his questioning approach to each project - in this case, the question was whether or not the chair he was designing should be outspoken or a little more timid? He decided to design both, with He Said and She Said. While the armrests of the She Said Chair curve gently downward, the He Said Chair armrests assert themselves. The top half of the chair can be attributed to Mattiazzi's sophisticated approach; The backrest, armrests, and legs display a smooth geometry usually seen in plastic chairs.
Also see the He Said Chair.
She Said Chair Features:
- 30.3" h x 23.2" w x 21.7" d
- Solid wood carpentry for a lightweight chair with grace and strength
- Broad stance makes it a stable seat
- Perfect for use as a side chair or dining chair
- Sturdy and made to be heirloom quality

There are tens of thousands of welding jobs available today.
"Welders" can always go to work.
The big, big problem is, do you wanna work for walmart wages in a trailer manufacturing sweatshop?
The term "welder" varies from "I have a job but can't feed my kids so my Wife/Chic has to work long hours and my kids are being raised by minimum wage day care drones........to, I work half the year, have good health insurance, good life insurance, my retirement is secure and my Lovely Bride spends her day caring for the smart and beautiful rugrats we've produced.
The former is easy, the latter takes quite a bit of planning and effort, above what the average cat is willing to do. Productivity per hour is the big key.
So, don't overextend that welder tag. Most of it is not so good, some of it is OK, a small portion is supergroovy.
Drive, determination and learnability, able to practice hard stuff for hours on end, willing to hammer out the long hard.....that's where the financial security lives.
At least 95% of the workforce doesn't have, or want that. They get to live with the hourly wage they get. Knowledge (not what they learn you in school) and hard won skill.
So long winded aside, there are welder incomes and then there are welder incomes. Ballance that with lifestyle preferences and just take your pick.
Everbody starts somewhere, where you end up is all on you.
But low and mid range welder employees are just stuck with what is offered.
A young man wanting to work as an employee, with an interest in welding, will make much more money, work in a safer environment and secure a retirement most bestest by pursuing an apprenticeship in a building trade be it Iron Workers, Steamfitters, Millwrights, etc, which ever one does the work that tickles you.
A LOT of training required and a lot of production required but the pay is there long term and you'll get to work on large and interesting projects.
I don't see many well paying opportunities these days for people who'd rather be 9-5 and be home at 4pm every night for the next 40 years.
A small business owner with moderate skills can make a good living almost anywhere, assuming decent buisness/people skills (anybody can get that, I've proved it : )) and a relatively good buisness climate which we don't even begin to have right now. The thing there (run of the mill local welding work) is that every cat who's graduated from the local Community College will run up your a$$ at lower cost (+lower skill set and lower labor saving tool list). Gotta have good people skills and a good biz head to survive that. Most will drop like flies after a few months.
Finding real high end client/payers isn't easy, the more the spec requirements the better to weed out the hacks. Again, more work than the typical is willing to do but the money lies there.
I'll add that there are countless "business owners" who are not making enough to provide good sound (health/life/disability) insurance and good sound retirement for their families, so take what you hear with a large grain of salt. It takes quite a bit to do all of that in welding world and you have to pick your spot with care.
Many welding owners think they are rolling in the $$$, but not. Hourly income is a poor measure of a business' worth. That's just "buying a job".
My opinion only, based on experience and observation, discard if neccessary : )
JSome days you eat the bear. And some days the bear eats you.
Wow JT, You better sit down in the recliner after that long winded statement, I was out of breath just reading it. HA HA HA.
Very well said however.
I have a Portable Welder by me ( My Competition ) and he thinks grossing a
$1,000.00 a week is doing good.
However his skill set is very low and his people skills are also very poor even though hes been doing it 20 plus years.
Just Like JT said, Its very important to be able to present yourself well to the customer or your boss, Its very important to have the skills required for the job and you have to be hungry and not be afraid to work long hours 7 days a week to complete a job.
I'm currently working at what used to be a Ford facility and we are working 7 days a week until we complete the job.
What employers and employees need to remember when working for companies that pay well, The customer has you there for a reason ( Because they have a Problem ) If you become another problem there's no reason to have you there.
The guys that make good money are the guys that show up when there told and get the job done.

Sorry 'bput that.
Since '92 I've seen well over a hundred people (we had 14 one year) put a machine in a truck and print business cards, just in my little rural county. Maybe 3 of them have lasted over 10 months. Most of them confused cash flow with personal income.
Our county's Community College has a pretty decent welding program, but those kids can't make a living (in this county) as a low paid welder in the jobs available.
They have to work in a building trade or move away.
JSome days you eat the bear. And some days the bear eats you.

I'm from a rural community as well and even in the bigger surrounding towns shop welders make $12 - &15 hr. And people wonder why they're are a lack of welders. Why would a guy spend 10-20 thousand dollars going to welding school and on top of that spend every free moment at home trying to better his craft when he can go to the local factories and make the same money to push a button on a stamp press. I believe that if a guy is going to make a good living as a welder they have to hit the road, but in the same hand they had better to be prepared to make that commitment to be away from there spouses and children for a period of time. It's tough no matter which direction a person goes. And as far as repair work goes in my area ( its mainly a farming community with little construction) people are leasing or buying new equipment every year so everything is covered by warranty or doesn't need repair

Thanks for the information! !!
My Territory is anything within 2 hrs of my location, What helps me is that I wear many hats, I work on, build and install cranes and conveyors.
I work on heavy trucks - Welding and Fabrication, We are finishing mounting a crane on the back of a Log truck where we had to rebuild the broken frame.
We do a lot of structural welding to reinforce beams and bar joists for heating and cooling equipment.
We weld on heavy equipment, Where the boom or the stick on an excavator may break as well as bucket repair.
We do work for Door companies that need holes cut through buildings so they can install a new door and will also repair a building that get hits as the semi trucks when they pull out and take out the end of the building.
On apartment complexes, I will tear out and rebuild the 2nd story balcony or walk way including all new stairs and rails and concrete.
I will go into industrial plants and do projects that require fabrication and ********.
I do some process piping, restaurant stainless and tons of general welding, Tig aluminum on engines and transmissions.
To sum it up, If you want to make it as a general welder like I am you have to be able to do more than just be a welder, I play General contractor and take on the whole job and hire out other trades as needed and I do the portion that I know.
These are just a few areas that fall under the welding trade.

The story of how Betsy M. came to be the guardian of three Dachshunds and the story of how she met her husband, Jamie, are intertwined. It all began in the early 1980s when Betsy decided to adopt two Dachshund puppies from a coworker. She named them Schatzie and Schmoozie. After one of the pups came over and rested his paw on her knee, she was easily persuaded to take not one, but two of the dogs home to her New York City apartment.
One day, while Betsy and her mother were walking along Second Avenue with Schatzie and Schmoozie, a man driving by stopped and said he had just seen a larger Dachshund at the ASPCA Adoption Center with the same coloring as the puppies and suggested Betsy go see her. After calling the ASPCA to inquire about the dog, Betsy scraped together all the money she had and set out to adopt her. She decided to keep her original name, Annie.
The first few days with Annie were rough. Betsy stayed home from work to monitor the introductions, and Annie got in spats with both Schatzie and Schmoozie. After a few days, Betsy had no choice but to return to work, and she feared what she might find when she returned home that evening. To her surprise, all three dogs were snuggled up together.
One evening soon after, Betsy was at a party when she met a British man named Jamie. After hearing about her furry friends, Jamie invited Betsy to tea at his apartment, and suggested she bring her dogs. She decided to take Annie along, and upon entering Jamie's apartment, Annie made herself right at home on Jamie's couch. Betsy and Jamie married a year later in 1983, and Betsy says she feels sure that Annie played a significant role in bringing the two together.
Decades have passed, and Betsy and Jamie are still together. Furry friends have come and gone from their lives since those first three Dachshunds, but Betsy is still thankful for Schatzie, Schmoozie and Annie. She says having the dogs changed her life.
The ASPCA is assisting in the forensic evidence collection, removal, transport and sheltering of more than 60 fighting roosters from a property in Spencer, Indiana. Other animals including dogs and farm animals were also seized from the property. We're assisting at the request of the Indiana Gaming Commission, the Gaming Control Division and the Monroe County Humane Association.
At the property this morning, responders discovered rooster remains and roosters showing signs of starvation and other conditions requiring medical attention. The roosters were housed in outdoor pens or tethered outside with no access to water.
The animals were transferred to a temporary shelter where they will receive veterinary care from the ASPCA's medical team. ASPCA veterinary technicians, animal handlers and responders are also assisting on the scene and at the temporary shelter.
A search warrant, issued by Owen County Circuit Court, was executed Wednesday morning for the removal of the birds, as was an arrest warrant for Jeffrey Russell Pierce, 26. Pierce was arrested on charges of possession of fighting animals, promoting an animal fighting contest and possession of animal fighting paraphernalia.
In Indiana, cockfighting and the possession of birds for fighting are Class D felonies, each punishable by up to three years in a state prison and a maximum $10,000 fine. Possession of implements is a Class B misdemeanor with up to 180 days in a state jail and a maximum $1,000 fine.
The ASPCA is also assisting the Indiana Gaming Control Division in documenting animal related evidence for the criminal case and lending the services of its Field Investigations and Response and Veterinary Forensics teams. The Indiana State Police, the Indiana Board of Animal Health and the Owen County Prosecutor are also assisting in the operation.
"Cockfighting is a brutal blood sport where the unwilling participants—the roosters—are forced to fight, often to the death, for the entertainment and financial gain of their owners," says Terry Mills, Director of Blood Sports for the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response team. "The ASPCA is proud to lend our expertise in animal fighting and forensic evidence collection to local authorities to help put an end to this disturbing activity and secure justice for the animal victims."
If you know of animal fighting or other cruelty in your area, please report it.
Jessie is a three-year-old Boxer in Buncombe County, North Carolina, and his pet parent loves him very much.
But in March, Jessie became a victim of domestic violence at the hands of his pet parent's former boyfriend. The man Jessie had once trusted slit his throat with a knife. Jessie lost so much blood he almost died.
A local humane law enforcement officer transported Jessie to an emergency clinic where he was rushed into surgery.
Things were "really touch-and-go for Jessie. We weren't sure if he was going to make it," Miranda Tipton of the Buncombe County Animal Shelter said at the time. "After experiencing this horrible trauma, we held our breath and hearts until we heard the good news that he made it through surgery. He came out of surgery at 11:30 P.M. and we were so relieved."
Today, Jessie is safe and sound, thanks in part to Asheville Humane's Safety Net, a program that helps reduce the number of animals entering shelters by assisting families with veterinary care, pet food, behavioral help and other services. It saved Jessie's life. Safety Net, just launched in 2012, is funded by the ASPCA.
We can support programs like the one that saved Jessie thanks to our generous donors—so if you can make a gift today, please consider it. Thank you for your generosity! It means the world.
We've heard it a million times: "Yes, I bought my puppy at a pet store, but he didn't come from a puppy mill. The store told me that they only get puppies from USDA-licensed breeders." That line is used frequently by pet store employees to reassure customers—but what does it really mean?
Sadly, it doesn't mean much. The USDA's standards of care are so minimal that most of us would not consider them to be humane. Dogs in commercial breeding facilities can legally be kept in cages only six inches longer than the dog in each direction, stacked on top of one another, for their entire lives. It's completely legal to house them in cages with wire flooring, and to breed female dogs at every opportunity. These federal standards leave a lot of room for dogs to be severely mistreated.
But seeing is believing. We wanted to make it easy for the public to truly understand where pet store puppies come from. That's why today we're launching a new tool on our No Pet Store Puppies website that lets users view more than 10,000 photos of USDA-licensed commercial dog breeding facilities and links some of them to specific pet stores that have sold their puppies within the past year.
You can search the website by pet store name or zip code, USDA license number, the breeder's name, and specific breed. The photos were taken by USDA inspectors during routine inspections of the facilities.
"Our research reveals a clear disconnect between what many Americans think 'USDA licensed' means and what the USDA actually requires of commercial dog breeders nationwide," explains Cori Menkin, Senior Director of the ASPCA Puppy Mills Campaign. "The federal requirements fall far short of the public's standards and expectations for the humane treatment of dogs, and we hope that people will use the new tool on the ASPCA's No Pet Store Puppies website to see for themselves."
We hope to work with USDA to better enforce and improve the care standards for dogs in commercial breeding facilities, and you can help, too, by decreasing the demand for puppy mill puppies. Take the No Pet Store Puppies Pledge to not purchase anything—including pet food, kitty litter and toys—from a store or website that sells puppies.
Last night, a few of our adoptables hit the red carpet to rub paws with fashion's elite during the premiere of the Stella McCartney #Spring14 presentation in New York City.
Harold, Scooby and Daisy were all ready for their close ups, strutting their stuff with their best "blue steel" looks. Guests couldn't help but stop by to give these chic canines some love and pose for a quick photo op.
In the end, Harold, Scooby and Daisy all decided to stick to lounging and tasty treats, rather than pursuing full-time modeling careers, but we're sure they would take the fashion world by storm.
Thank you Stella McCartney for hosting us!
If you would like to adopt Harold, Scooby or Daisy, or meet some of our other adoptables, please stop by our Adoption Center.
