Updates in the 2016 NFPA 13: Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems help designers, engineers, contractors, and installers develop the best fire sprinkler defense for any occupancy.
Fire protection challenges have changed along with construction materials and types of storage. Get equipped for today's hazards by getting up-to-code with the new industry standard for the automatic sprinkler system design, installation, and acceptance testing; hanging and bracing systems; underground piping; and seismic protection.
Revisions to commodity classification tables in the 2016 NFPA 13 present the most significant update to the tables in over 30 years.
Updated classification tables in Chapter 5 Annex based on today's materials help sprinkler system designers avoid common errors in classifying commodities. The new tables improve accuracy and reduce the risk for mistakes that could prove catastrophic in a fire.
A task group addressed the costly problem of corrosion in piping.
In a major change that impacts installers, the 2016 NFPA 13 adds a new requirement that a single air vent be installed for each wet sprinkler system to help reduce potential corrosion activity due to trapped air. A task group concluded that venting the trapped air in a wet system can decrease water delivery time, reduce alarm ring delay, reduce water flow alarm cyclic ringing, and reduce corrosion activity.
Other changes provide more flexible options for sprinkler design:
Gain the edge in sprinkler protection to prevent fire deaths and property loss.
NFPA 13: Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems advances how sprinkler system designers, installers, maintainers, and AHJs can safeguard people and property against fire. Improve automatic fire sprinkler effectiveness and avoid errors using the new research-based 2016 edition of NFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems. (Softbound, Approx. 468 pp., 2016)

Force India will have a talk with both Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta after they traded paint on the opening lap of the Chinese GP...
Force India will have a talk with both Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta after they traded paint on the opening lap of the Chinese GP.
Fighting for position, the two Force India collided, which resulted in di Resta being forced off the track and losing several positions.
The Scot fought back to finish in eighth place but stated that his clash with his team-mate had cost him while Sutil blamed di Resta for their coming together.
"We just need to sit them down and go through the video because it's not really what we need to be doing on the first lap," deputy team principal Bob Fernley told Autosport.
"They are both good enough, and just need to sort it out between them.
"I don't think it's difficult to manage it, we just need to make sure they clearly understand that it's not acceptable, not on the first lap."
And although Fernley stopped short of pointing fingers, he reckons Sutil could have given his team-mate more room.
"You can have things happen when you get pushed into positions [that you don't want to be in] and we need to understand it fully ourselves," he said.
"But I suspect that Adrian got catapulted off the kerb, something like that happened so he didn't give Paul enough room there."

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Recipe by LEAGLE
"This omelet is so easy and delicious. It bakes in the oven, so there is no watching the stove. My son loves to make it for us."

1 cup
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
Excellent receipe. I failed miserably with the thicker glass pan, even with non-stick spray. I tried again with a 10x15 jelly roll pan, and the results were fantastic. Rolled so much easier! I submitted the photo for this recipe, so you can see how nice it rolled up.
I'd highly recommend adding whatever typical omelette ingredients you prefer (ham, green peppers, etc). The taste may be a little plain without any -- just like a normal omelette would. I also used sharp cheddar to bring out the cheese taste as well.
Makes for a very nice presentation, especially compared to how simple it is to arrange. After rolling, sprinkle a little extra cheese and parsley flakes on the top, and it will look very nice.
Of course this is not really an omelete. This recipe should really be called Rolled Baked Eggs. Omelet's are made in pans and take about 1 minute to cook (if that) and are not that easy to get right. Baked eggs do not taste like omelet's nor do they have the same texture. Nevertheless, this recipe is fair and the simplicity is there. Taste is ok if you go with the original recipe but I second the motion to add whatever your fave fillings are and don't try to serve it "rolled up." Just serve it from the dish you baked it in. It's baked eggs, which are are wonderful, but it's not an omelet.

Wow! I did a test run of this recipe this morning and I thought it was great. Tomorrow for company I will add extra goodies like sauteed mushroom and onions or diced tomato and avocado, but today I made the recipe as written but used colby jack cheese instead of cheddar. I lowered the oven to 425 and cooked it for 10 minutes. It probably could have cooked for only 8 and been done. I sprayed a glass 9x13 baking dish generously with Pam and it rolled beautifully, cut like a dream, and had an overall unique and neat presentation. My only complaint is that my three year old who eats ANYTHING wasn't so thrilled with this. That said, I really just want to make it for company. It is an interesting crossover between a crepe and eggs. For those who reduce the flour, I think it will lose some of the "crepeness" of it and I could see where it would just taste like eggs and cheese at that point. It is mildly flavored so add spices and fillings to your liking.
This is delicious. Twenty minutes is too long to cook however. I replaced the milk with half water, half milk. (fluffier and lighter) I added mushrooms, onions, greenpepper and broccoli. I think I used about 1/2 the flour too. I cooked it for 10 minutes and took it out and put on the cheese and veggies and rolled quickly. It's hot, but it comes up easier if it's still very warm. I took it work for a parent appreciation breakfast and I had to give the recipe out to several ladies. **Oh, and I used a bisquit pan and poured the eggs in it when the pan was already in the oven.** Didn't spill a drop! I used crisco to grease pan and it came loose very easily.
This was very good, but after reading through ALL the reviews, I did change it up some. I decided to still review this because I feel that this is a great method and it really has a lot of potential with a few changes. I used 9 eggs, reduced the flour to 1/4 cup, about 3/4 cup milk and the salt and pepper. After blending, I mixed in a little chives, dill and parsley. I poured it into a 10x15 sheet pan that was well sprayed with cooking spray and put it in the oven @ 350 degrees, until just set (it took about 8 mins. in mine, but my oven is very hot). I removed it, loosened the edges w/ a spatula and sprinkled it with some finely chopped onions and green peppers that I sauteed in a little olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder and then topped it w/ the cheese. I popped it back in the oven for about 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melted, took it out and let it sit for maybe 4-5 mins. and then rolled. It rolled beautifully, cut perfectly and tasted delicious. Again, I just wanna say that this IS a great method of cooking an omelet, it just needs tweaked a little, IMO. I will definately be making this again and I can't wait to try it with different veggies and meats added! Thanks for sharing. :)
Been making this for 15 years and finally learned a few tricks to making this work. No more scraping my glass pans & ending up w/ an ugly roll that is half stuck to the pan. Now I Use large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. It rolls up beautifully w/ no mess to clean. I also only bake at 400 or 425 for less time. Lastly I use 1/2 water, 1/2 half n half instead of the milk & add a few shakes of dry mustard to the mixture. Now I end up w/ a beautiful & tasty roll I am proud to present.
Easy and quite a pretty addition to our Christmas Brunch table. Reading the previous reviews, I used additional fillings - - among them, raw sliced mushrooms that baked into the omelette wonderfully. HINT: Lining the pan with a large piece of parchment paper makes rolling a cinch. Thanks Lori!
I don't remember where I originally got this recipe but my recipe says to line the baking sheet with greased parchment paper. It makes it MUCH easier to roll. Also I roll from the long edge, the other roll makes for too much omelet, plus you can feed more people rolling from the long side. I sometimes add salsa before I roll and then serve with sour cream and avocado.

Check out the update (2008) and my new bag: Floppy Disk Bag: Install Disk 2
Step 1: Required Bits

Floppy disks (CRUCIAL)
Links, bits of chain from your local bead store
Nails and a plank o' wood
A pen
Elementary math skills Eg: the ability to count
The hardware for adding a strap
the strap
Great idea....but had to raise an eyebrow at the term "man-store"...good to see sexism is alive and kicking, always just below the surface...
Dont need to make jump rings you self, its nuts you can get for next to nothing at www.beadingsupplys.com/
I have ca. 50 new floppy disks I don't know how to get rid of. I can send them to you for free if you can cover the postage and if you are still interested of course.
Very creative way to reuse useless floppy disks! i'll be keeping my eye out for floppy disks the next time i go out now, they definitely make better bags than coasters!
They usually sell in paks of 5 or 10 for a little more than what one jump ring seems to cost. If true stainless steel is not available, some fishing ones are labeled as "English stainless" which is actually some kind of plating on either steel or brass, but seems to resist corrosion fairly well. It seems like these would be easy to install as compared to having to bend open and then bend closed the split rings, as long as you buy relatively thin split rings. If opening the split rings is difficult for you (as for me, having lost some feeling in my finger tips as I get old and decrepit), you will find very near the split rings in the sporting goods store a tool called a "split ring pliers" (for about $10). The pliers make opening them simple.
Here's a couple:

Slightly more than 2.1 million unauthorized immigrant youth and young adults could be eligible to apply for legal status under the 2010 DREAM Act, though historical trends indicate that perhaps fewer than 40 percent would obtain legal status because of a variety of limitations. This policy brief offers detailed estimates of potential DREAM Act beneficiaries.
The conference, co-sponsored by Georgetown Law, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc., and the Migration Policy Institute, focused immigration and refugee law and policy.
Public Policy Institute of California researchers Magnus Lofstrom and Laura Hill discuss their research examining the potential labor market outcomes and other possible economic effects of a legalization program.
This conference offers law and policy analysis and discussion on cutting-edge immigration issues.
This fact sheet examines the dramatic increase in U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services processing times for naturalization applications resulting from an overall increase in applications during fiscal year 2007.
The culminating report of the Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future seeks to design a new and simplified immigration regime that averts illegal immigration, and at the same time, harnesses the benefits of immigration for the future.
This policy brief explores the often neglected migration management potential of "regularization" or "legalization" programs, arguing that properly conceived and carefully executed "earned" regularization programs can not only prevent the number and flow of unauthorized migrants from building to unacceptable levels, but can also set the stage for smarter use of enforcement resources and improvements in labor market and social policy development.
The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) was the first legislative attempt to comprehensively address the issue of unauthorized immigration. The bill included sanctions against employers for the hiring of undocumented migrants, more robust border enforcement, and an expansive legalization program that was unprecedented.

IOC concensus statements have been published based on the works of the Medical Commission. Find out more about these publications and reports.
In 2010, the IOC Medical Commission held a consensus meeting on Female Hyperandrogenism. As a result of this meeting, and prior to the 2012 London Olympic Games, the IOC implemented the IOC Regulations on Female Hyperandrogenism (hereafter the "Regulations"). These Regulations were subsequently updated for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games, and published in September 2013.
In October 2013, the IOC Medical Commission convened an expert group to review the available scientific and clinical evidence on Hyperandrogenism and to update the Regulations, accordingly. In doing so, the expert group acknowledged that the Regulations are a living document, subject to change from time to time, as further evidence becomes available. The group's recommendations will be presented to the IOC Executive Board in the first half of 2014.
12 September 2011The expert paper defines the health consequences of inactivity; it identifies the determinants of sports participation and drop-outs, and provides recommendations on potential solutions and global partnerships. The ultimate purpose of this scientific effort is to improve the health and fitness of young people throughout the world, thereby decreasing the morbidity and mortality deriving from non-communicable diseases.Find out more and read the statement
At the April 2011 IOC Medical & Science Group meeting in Monaco, the issue of the continued exclusion of women from some sports on the grounds of the risk of injury to their reproductive system was raised and discussed. Following the recommendations from the medical and scientific experts at the meeting, the IOC Medical Commission agreed and adopted a statement on injuries to the female reproductive organs:
"No female athlete should be denied the opportunity to participate in any Olympic sport on the basis that she might sustain an injury to her reproductive organs. A survey of injury data has failed to find any evidence of an increased risk of acute or chronic damage to the female reproductive organs occurring as a direct result of participation in sport."
"Acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries in sport are common and problematic for both athletes and clinicians. A significant proportion of these injuries remain difficult to treat, and many athletes suffer from decreased performance and longstanding pain and discomfort. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is now being widely used to treat musculoskeletal injuries in sport. Whilst the role of PRP in tissue healing and regeneration may open up a new area in regenerative medicine, there remains a large amount of work to understand the mechanism of action of PRP in the regeneration and repair process of a given tissue. The IOC consensus paper delivers recommendations on this complex topic and is based on preliminary research conducted by experts in this field, such as the Aspetar Hospital in Doha, Qatar."
Find out more and read the statement
Diet significantly influences athletic performance. All athletes should adopt specific nutritional strategies before, during and after training and competition to maximise their mental and physical performance. Evidence-based guidelines on the amount, composition, and timing of food intake have been defined to help athletes perform and train more effectively, with less risk of illness and injury.
16 July 2009In March 2009, the International Olympic Committee assembled an expert group listed above to discuss the current state of the art of the pre-participation health evaluation aiming to provide recommendations for a practical elite athlete Periodic Health Examination (PHE), as well as to outline the need for further research. The PHE can serve many purposes. The PHE includes a comprehensive assessment of the athlete's current health status and risk of future injury or disease and, typically, is the entry point for medical care of the athlete. The PHE also serves as a tool for periodic health evaluation and monitoring in athletes. Find out more and read the statement
Protecting the health of the athlete is the primary goal of the International Olympic Committee's Medical Commission (IOC MC). While athletes should be encouraged to strive for excellence, there is an obligation on the part of coaches, team physicians, other health care providers, International Federations, and sport governing bodies to recognise pressures, actions, and situations that may be detrimental to the athlete's health. One area of concern for many female athletes is the pressure to meet unrealistic weight or body fat levels.

17 May 2004
The Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved the consensus proposed by the IOC Medical Commission stating the conditions to be respected for a person who has changed sex to compete in sports competitions. These conditions will be applied as of the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad in 2004 in Athens. The consensus is based on an ad-hoc committee convened by the IOC Medical Commission that met on 28 October 2003 in Stockholm to discuss and issue recommendations on the participation of individuals who have undergone sex reassignment (male to female and vice versa) in sport.

the Longhorns to victory, earning Vince Young the game's MVP award, and
setting up the squad for a run to the National Championship the following
season. Featuring the work of legendary panoramic stadium photographer
Rob Arra, this print featues an inside view of the venerable stadium during
the game from midfield during the first quarter, as a fiercely partisan
crowd sits on pins and needles with every play, watching the action in
front of a national viewing audience of millions. Printed on high-quality
gallery stock, and complete with slick white-bordered design that includes
the above commemorative caption, this is both a beautiful piece for the
wall of home or office, and a valuable collector's item for years to come.
Whether you are a die-hard College football enthusiast, or a Texas Longhorns
fanatic thrilled by this unforgettable and historic afternoon, this is
the ultimate addition to your collection!

1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 600, Portland, OR 97204
On August 21st, sub-contractor DN Tanks completed the steel cable wrapping and shotcrete application to the exterior of the Forest Park Low Tank Reservoir. More than 10 miles of cable was used to wrap the reservoir which will add support and reinforce the reservoir's walls.
Upon completion, the 73-foot diameter reservoir will provide additional supply to better serve the current and future water needs of residents living at higher elevations. The reservoir will also improve water capacity for emergency fire protection.
The next step will be to apply a waterproof coating to the buried portion of the 1.3 million-gallon reinforced concrete reservoir. The reservoir will then be filled with water to full capacity in order to visually inspect for leaks at the base of the structure.
Take a Look Inside!
Nine concrete columns support the roof of the reservoir. Each of the columns is 30 inch in diameter and about 40 foot tall.
The reservoir interior will be disinfected and then the outside of the structure will be covered and compacted with layers of soil and eventually native grasses. The project is on-track for completion in March 2014.
For additional information, photos and progress updates on the project, please visit https://www.portlandoregon.gov/water/forestparklowtank.

A woman accused of prostituting her 15-year-old daughter to help pay off a $5,000 debt is on trial this week in a Montgomery County courtroom.
The mother is charged with a total of 11 crimes, including rape, child abuse, prostitution, human trafficking, and other charges. The Gazette is not naming the woman to protect the identity of the victim, her daughter.
The case dates back to March, when police arrested the woman and Bejarni Rivas, 45, of Irish Court in Gaithersburg.
According to police, abuse occurred from December 2012 through March 2013 and many of the acts took place at the Georgian Colonies Club House in Silver Spring.
Arrest records say Rivas raped the girl, now 15, in a male changing room, then gave her $100.
The girl's mother, 41, from Germantown, ordered her daughter to have sex with Rivas even after the girl begged her not to, telling her in one instance, "I've done a lot of bad things to make you have a good life. Go with him," according to the charging documents.
When the victim's mother was arrested, the woman told police she had left the girl alone with Rivas for only about 10 minutes, the documents said.
Rivas is charged with 13 counts of rape, sexual abuse, and other charges.
Esteban Gergely, Rivas' attorney, could not be reached for comment Monday afternoon. Rivas has a trial scheduled for next month.

"Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful."
"We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive."
"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."
"There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect."

Lewis Hamilton admits he is hoping for more wet conditions at Spa on Sunday as he's a bit uncertain about Mercedes' package in the dry...
Lewis Hamilton admits he is hoping for more wet conditions at Spa on Sunday as he's a bit uncertain about Mercedes' package in the dry.
The 28-year-old will start in pole position for the fourth consecutive race after he posted the fastest time with a late dash at a wet Spa on Saturday.
It was another brilliantly timed run for Hamilton as he was the last man to cross the finish line after the chequered flag fell and his 2:01.012 was 0.188s better than that of Sebastian Vettel with Mark Webber down in third spot.
"It was a good job by the team. I was surprised when I came across line. I went wide in Turn One and my dashboard told me I was three seconds down and then it was four seconds and then six so I didn't know what was going on but I kept pushing," Hamilton said.
"It's a blessing I am up here. Generally I feel comfortable in changing conditions. I can find the limit and I pushed through the middle sector and really caned it."
Red Bull's Vettel and Fernando Alonso from Ferrari were the two quickest drivers during the three Free Practice sessions with Mercedes not really able to match them.
However, the changing conditions played right into the Brackley team's hands and Hamilton is hoping for more of the same come race day.
"I haven't had a good feeling all weekend. I'm not 100% confident we have the fastest package in the dry, but in these conditions, it's more of a lottery and the driver can make more of a difference.
"Our radar has forecasted it's going to rain tomorrow, so it's going to be a tricky race. Trying to choose the right tyre, tyre management and pit stops will be key tomorrow."

Yeah me too!
Gruber didn't eliminate any particular pixel rez -- just said that it wouldn't be a retina display.
You, more than anyone on these forums has researched the definition of retina display.
Likely, it could be argued either way whether 2048 × 1536 pixels on the iPad 9.7 " screen would qualify as a retina display -- so there is some wiggle room.
That said, the 2x size, 2048 × 1536. may be too ambitious for this time around -- because of display cost, RAM and CPU/GPU requirements.
So, then people suggest that maybe one of the intermediate rezes, 1.25x or 1.50x (below) could be used.
1.00 x == 1024 ×768
1.25 x == 1280×960
1.50 x == 1536×1152
2.00 x == 2048 ×1536
These are almost immediately rejected as being too hard, or won't scale mathematically (fractional pixels, etc.)
But is that really true?
Consider that two of the most popular uses of the iPad are video and games:
--Video scales well to most higher rezes and pixel anomalies are not noticeable.
-- The better games already use OpenGL and the GPU to deliver realistic video-like effects - these also scale well.
I assume that scaling video and games could be handled with simple changes and a recompile where the app would handle both the current iPad and an iPad 2 with higher rez..
Lets say, for discussion purposes, that this handles 30% of the current iPad apps.
What about the others?
What if we were to display them at their current pixel rez on a iPod 2 with a higher pixel rez, centered on the display -- they would work, but they would be smaller and wouldn't take up the entire display.
I posted elsewhere that an iPhone app looks dorky when run as-is on the iPads larger display -- they are either iPhone size, and too small, or 2x magnified and don't look good (jaggies) and don't exploit the real estate (too large).
Think about this for a minute -- with out going through the actual math:
-- we have this dinky iPhone display awash in a sea of black - it doesn't look good and we've gained nothing in usability (man, did you see the size of the bezel on that presentation?)
-- we have this grotesque 2x magnification that is easier to use (bigger controls) - butt ugly.
As some have said, it's just a big iPod Touch in either of these modes.
But, let's put aside scaling iPhone apps to the iPad, and talk about scaling an iPad 1 rez app to an iPad 2 rez display.
What if we do the same thing -- center the lower rez iPad 1 display in the higher rez iPad 2 display?
Would it look dorky -- either too big or too small?
Yeah, it might if we have a much larger rez that isn't an integer multiple of screen rez such as 2x.
There is a rez, mentioned above -- the 1.25 x == 1280×960 that might just work, and look good at the same time -- with no scaling.
If you display a 1024x768 rez app centered on a 1280x960 rez screen, you have added 128 black pixels to the left and right and 96 black pixels to the top and bottom of the display.
It is slightly smaller -- but big enough. It still is an iPad-UI app and takes advantage of most of the iPad display.
It looks OK! It works OK.
It will. likely be quite acceptable -- until the developer does a relatively minor rewrite to take advantage of the higher rez.
There are some things that Apple could do to even improve the situation -- say reserve the extra pixels (162 landscape, 256 portrait) at the bottom of the display for notifications and overlay area for the popup KB.
Doing nothing, an iPad 1 app would gain functionality and more content area above the KB when run on an iPad 2.
I played around with this for about an hour on various mac displays -- a 1024x768 rez app on a 1280x960 rez screen looks pretty good.

For X amount of time now, I've been noticing random stalls on web activities. Lately I started putting Task Manager on, and basically every web action I do spikes the CPU. Just typing in this box does it, but the signature annoying one is scrolling pages. Basically any page I scroll shoots the CPU to some 40-90%.
What is that all about? I do know I have a sub derivative of Firefox, (originally chosen to stop a different delay recovering resources when I closed the browser) but it's like it has gotten worse lately. Anyone know if that is at all familiar to Firefox, or am I back to being the Resident Pest with an somewhat non-standard system that messes up people's diagnostics?
Anyone know of something like a hand-optimized variant of Firefox designed for pure speed?
Edit: It's almost like it's a rendering problem, moving windows around does it too.

Few causes are able to unite people such as Lorenzo Borghese from ABC's The Bachelor, actors Bo Derek and John Corbett, school children and animal welfare organizations, but all of them got together last week to participate in the "Horses on the Hill" event on Capitol Hill. The ASPCA was proud to co-host with the Animal Welfare Institute and The Humane Society of the United States publicly urge legislators to stop our nation's horses from being slaughtered at home or abroad.
The ASPCA's very special guest at Horses on the Hill, nine-year-old Declan Gregg of New Hampshire, has created an organization and blog called Children 4 Horses. Declan spoke eloquently about the urgency of protecting our horses. He was joined by Senators Mary Landrieu and Scott Brown as well as Representatives Jim Moran, Ed Whitfield and David Rivera—all of whom spoke strongly to the need for passing a ban on horse slaughter.
Killing American horses for human consumption is simply not acceptable. The ASPCA's founder, Henry Bergh, loved all animals, but initially focused his efforts on stopping horse abuse. Mr. Bergh would not have been surprised by the people who turned out in D.C. to help horses because he believed animal protection was an issue that crossed party lines and class boundaries. More than 140 years have passed since Mr. Bergh founded the ASPCA, but our commitment to horse protection remains steadfast.

Guest blog written by Beverly Pietrucha, ASPCA Volunteer Coordinator.
I discovered Agility about 20 years ago when my very young pup, Ginger, and I were taking a series of obedience classes. We signed up for an introductory class—and that was the beginning of the end. Ginger was an absolute natural on the obstacles: up the A-frame, over the dog walk, through the tunnel—all with no hesitation.
"This should be easy," I thought. Well, was I wrong!
In Agility, dog and handler must work as a team to negotiate obstacles—in their numbered order. Well, sometimes Ginger would have another idea and get the "zoomies," much to the delight of the spectators. Frustrating for the handler? Perhaps. Lots of fun for the dog? You bet!
And so Ginger and I embarked on what would be an almost 15-year Agility journey, and the bond that developed between us cannot be described. When you are negotiating an agility course without a leash, or food or treats in hand you become connected in a way that is very special.
What About Shy Dogs?
Not sure if your dog is up to the task? Two years ago I adopted Charlie, who was very shy and lacking in confidence. I enrolled him in an agility class thinking that would perhaps build his esteem a bit. In that first class, he would barely go over a very low jump. I was told by the instructor that I should forget about doing agility with him. Well, we persevered—and Charlie is now competing.
If you're interested: Signing up for good training classes with competent instructors is essential, even if you don't want to compete but just want to have a bit of fun with your dog. But be forewarned: Dog Agility can be addictive!
For more information, visit the Dog Sports page.
It's heartbreaking: Every year, millions of cats and dogs become lost in the United States. Many are beloved pets who never make it home. In fact, research shows that only 10 to 30% of lost dogs and a mere 5% of lost cats are ever reunited with their families. It doesn't have to be this way.

SMA finishes season with outstanding 22-2 record
CLARION - The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch basketball team was eliminated from the PIAA Class AAA tournament on Saturday by a 69-23 score by the New Castle Hurricanes. The first-round game was played at Clarion University's Waldo Tippin Gymnasium.
The Hurricanes jumped out to an early lead in the contest, opening a 24-4 advantage after the first eight minutes of play. In the second quarter, they outscored the Lady Dutch by a 27-8 margin to take a 51-12 halftime lead.
"New Castle has a nice ball club. They are quick, big and hit the boards strong," said St. Marys coach Bob Swanson.
"Our kids picked it up after Kayla (Hoohuli) went down. They came back hard,"he added.
Senior guard Kayla Hoohuli went down with a knee injury at the 1:22 mark of the first quarter. She tried to come back later in the second half, but was unable to go.
"We made a few tweaks on offense and defense, Coach Dan (Hoohuli) defensively, and Coach Leona (Hoohuli) offensively," said Swanson. "I thought we did a nice job in the second half."
The Lady Dutch offense was led by Adair Gennocro with nine points on four field goals and a one-for-two night from the foul line. Kiana Hoohuli was next with five points.
New Castle was led by Ja'Nia McPhatter with 22 points on nine twos, one three and a one-for-one night from the foul line. LaShauna Brothers scored 15 points on three twos and three threes and Delvona Dennis added 13 points on three twos, one three and a four-for-six night from the foul line.
Concerning the season, Swanson said, "This was a fantastic season, not only in wins (22), but in character. We have a good team and now we have work to do. But this group has never shied away from work."
The game opened with Brothers hitting a three for New Castle. Gennocro scored for the Lady Dutch, 3-2, with 6:49 left in the period. McPhatter hit a three and Dennis and Brothers twos, giving the Hurricanes the 10-2 lead. Mandy Gerarge scored for St. Marys, 10-4, with 3:35 left in the quarter. The Hurricanes increased their lead to 17-4 with 1:43 left on a bucket by Brothers. With 1:22 left in the period, Kayla Hoohuli went down with a knee injury and was assisted from the court. New Castle closed out the period with seven straight points, taking a 24-4 lead after the first period.
Gerarge scored the opening bucket of the second quarter, 24-6. New Castle's Christina Talbert and SMA's DeAnna Yost traded field goals, 26-8. New Castle scored nine unanswered points to go up 35-8 with 4:05 left in the first half. Kiana Hoohuli sank two foul shots, 35-10. The Hurricanes went on a 14-0 run to take a 49-10 lead before Gennocro scored with 38 seconds left in the half, 49-12. New Castle led 51-12 at the half.
McPhatter scored at the 7:39 mark of the third period, making the score 53-21. Gennocro and Brothers traded buckets as the mercy rule came into play, 54-14. McPhatter and Gennocro traded buckets, 57-16. McPhatter converted a three-point play, making the score 60-16 after three quarters of play.
New Castle opened the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run, 67-15. Kiana Hoohuli converted two of three foul shots, 67-19. The Hurricanes went up 69-19 with a field goal. St. Marys scored the final five points of the contest, as Gennocro sank one of two foul shots and Kiana Hoohuli was also one of two from the foul line. Yost had a field goal and Rachel Walker a one-for-two from the foul line, making the final score 69-23 in favor of New Castle.
Game notes
The Lady Dutch finished their season with an outstanding 22-2 record. They were the District 9 League champs, with a 9-1 record, and won their fourth consecutive District 9 Class AAA championship.
Playing in their final game for the Lady Dutch were Kayla Hoohuli, Mandy Gerarge, Rachel Walker and Shelby Zomcik.
New Castle now meets Blackhawk on Wednesday at North Hills High School. Blackhawk is the District 7 champ, while New Castle is the fourth-place team from District 7.

NEW YORK — David Sauvage stands on a sidewalk in SoHo, whipped by a cool autumn wind. He wears a black T-shirt and blue jeans. Dark, curly hair flops over his ears, and thick, rectangular glasses frame his brown eyes. He is 31 and thin as a filmstrip, casting-call perfection for the role of the struggling documentary director. At the moment, he is talking about stories and choices: purity, effectiveness, and truth.
"You can only tell people's story from the inside, in their words," he says, "or you can tell your story, and use people as pawns."
Sauvage is breaking from hours of video storytelling slog, splicing clips of protesters from the Occupy Wall Street gathering in Lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park into a slick, quick package to beam out to the masses during football timeouts or cop-drama cliffhangers.
(RELATED: Raging Against—and Working Within—the System)
The work is unpaid. It is his contribution to the Occupy movement, a personal protest against a system that seems to have lost interest in the stories he wants to tell, because, he says, all anyone cares about is telling the stories that people with money want to hear. But that's not the case in Zuccotti Park, he says. Not amid the throngs of protesters who have caught the nation's attention by force of presence alone, but have vexed so many Americans by refusing to articulate a set of goals or demands that their movement hopes to achieve. The presence in the park has energized Sauvage. The muddled message from the protests has jarred him to action.
"That feeling, that connection of human beings to one another, it's alive down there," he says. "I want to get that out. It's unfair to expect the people who are angry and outraged to express their desires in the language of politics and power."
A woman rushes up to Sauvage on the street, pink-cheeked, cradling a flower bouquet wrapped in plastic. She hugs him. He introduces her: the creative director of Bon Appetit magazine, one of his more steady sources of cash. To pay the bills, to afford to pursue the stories he wants to tell, Sauvage cuts commercials for big corporate clients. Now here is one of them — a friend, but also a reminder of the power that money holds over his storytelling — gently intruding on his labor of love. She chats for a second, then darts away.
He ducks inside to escape the chill.
Occupy Wall Street is a Monet protest: The closer you look at it, the less sense it makes. Upon inspection, the tidy caricature of neo-hippies raging against the financial system melts into a dot matrix of social, economic, and political anxiety. In Zuccotti Park on a recent afternoon you could find signs that said "Capitalism is Cancer" and "Free Empathy" and "I am the 99%" and even "Zionists Control Wall Street." A woman was singing Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror"(Gonna make a change/ For once in my life) in a seemingly endless loop.
(PICTURES: Scenes From the Ground at Occupy Wall Street Protests)
In the month since it sprang to life in the park and inspired hundreds of similar protests across the country, Occupy Wall Street has reveled in the opacity of its message. The outcry itself is the point. To focus it risks diluting it, or splintering the group, or opening it to co-option by entrenched political interests. It's all very Tao Te Ching: The message is the message, and the message that is spoken is not the true message.
Confused? So is the country. Opinion polls show wild fluctuations from one to the next on the simple question of how many Americans support Occupy Wall Street. The protesters' critics, meanwhile, are happy to stick with the hippie caricature in mocking the movement. Whether they like it or not, the Occupy crowd is rolling up to a crossroads. How far the movement will spread, and how much it will influence the public debate during a time of wrenching change in America, almost certainly depends on how the protesters reconcile the competing demands of telling their story on their terms and of telling their story in terms that the masses can understand and connect to.
As it happens, David Sauvage has wrestled that problem for much of his life.
Sauvage grew up in Los Angeles, living the life, as he puts it, of "the perfect spoiled white kid." He attended Harvard-Westlake, an elite private high school, and then Columbia University in New York. In college, he dreamed of writing plays. When he graduated, all he wanted to do was find a way to make a living out of telling meaningful stories. Instead he found a constant friction.
He finished at Columbia in 2002 and left New York a couple of years later for Los Angeles, where he worked four months as an assistant to the executive producer of CSI: Miami. He left, returned to New York City, wrote a couple plays, crapped out, went back to L.A. again, and earned an M.B.A at the University of California (Los Angeles).
In business school, Sauvage shot a 23-minute documentary, Carissa, about one of his business-school classmates who was forced into prostitution at age 12.
