They've got the blues, and they've got them good.
Organizers of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Blues & Heritage Festival began their planning without an inkling of a windfall that would let them bolster their lineup at the last minute. And the event they planned for the coming weekend measured up to the festivals of years past: A full day of blues, R&B and zydeco music on Saturday, Sept. 11, in Pascagoula, followed by an afternoon of gospel music Sunday.
And then came the last-minute boost: BP gave the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce some $580,000 to promote coastal tourism, and the chamber directed a portion to the festival. Festival director Addie Brent said the blues fest had received a grant of almost $47,000 from the chamber.
Brent said that allowed the festival to book Willie Clayton and Percy Sledge without having to raise its prices in the process.
"This takes us to a higher level," Brent said.
Alabama native Sledge is known for his 1966 classic "When a Man Loves a Woman," among other songs. Clayton's R&B hits include "Boom Boom Boom," "A Woman Knows" and "What a Way to Put It."
"A lot of people love Percy Sledge, and he's a legend," Brent said. "I think he's going to be a great asset to the festival."
The festival takes place under the pavilion at the Jackson County Fairgrounds in Pascagoula. Brent said the sheltered, open-air venue contributes to a laid-back, friendly atmosphere at the event.
"The people really come out and really have a good time," she said. "It's going to be music all day. It's a family event, where you can bring your children."
Brent said patrons are welcome to bring coolers, but glass containers, grills and outside food are prohibited. A variety of food vendors will be on hand, she said. Patrons are encouraged to bring chairs, she said.
"We just want them to come out. They're going to really enjoy themselves, we're going to have great music, it's going to be a lot of clean fun."

2007 House Bill 4725: Mandate certain prisoner releases from crowded jails (House Roll Call 242)
Passed 89 to 18 in the House on June 28, 2007, to require that when a county jail's population exceeds 95 percent of rated capacity for five consecutive days, the sheriff must immediately release prisoners who are in for failure to provide child support, and those who have served at least 85 percent of their time for other crimes but are not in for assaultive or sex crimes, serious drug crimes, or drunk driving. The bill also authorizes the adoption and implementation of a written county jail population management to reduce or prevent chronic jail overcrowding, upon the agreement of the county sheriff, the county prosecutor, the chief circuit judge or district judge (or a district judge selected by his or her peers), and the state court administrative office. See also House Bill 4234.

House Roll Call 242 on 2007 House Bill 4725

FINALLY!! NBA BASKETBALL HAS COME BACK!! Christmas day marks what is sure to be an intriguing season, the first shortened season since the Spurs won the first of their three championships in Tim Duncan's career. A shortened schedule is great not on the business side, but for some older teams who have seemed the last few years to wear out from the long grind. They should benefit with more stamina and energy down the playoff stretch with a shorter season.
NBA: 5 Teams That Benefit Most from the Short Season
By Josh Barnett ,
All bets are off on this one instantly if Brandon Roy and Greg Oden are both not on the roster. But if they are, this is a top 5 western conference team. Ray Felton enters to provide the big time PG they need who can score alongside Aldridge, and I love Nolan Smith the rookie from Duke. Most probably I would say put him as the second backcourt with Roy and start Felton and Wes Matthews with Aldridge. Camby is a great starting center and Oden gives excellent pop off bench if healthy, while yes that is a big if, in limited NBA action, he rebounds and defends well enough to be apart of a great roster alongside Gerald Wallace and NIc Batum at the SF.
For me this team is Overrated and cocky. The Lakers proved in the Finals with Artest and Bynum that all you have to do to beat this team is push back. That's it. I am embarrassed as a NBA fan at Rajon Rondo and much more at Garnett and Pierce. The Celtics get in more fistfight brauls and confrontations than anyone by far. However there is no arguing their credentials, they won one (and only one) championship and lost to the Heat in the Heat's first year together, but their old legs do benefit from a short season.
There was legitimate potential that the careers of Kidd and Nowitzki could have been over if there was no basketball this year, A short season though gives them their best chance of a repeat they could have asked for. While I don't think they can get out of the west this year, I expect them to remain contenders on the low end with the Grizzlies and Nuggets of the league.
In what I believe along with many is the Swan Song Season for the leagues best PF ever Tim Duncan, The spurs defense and three-point shooting legitimately gives them what I believe is 1 last shot. In a short season the legs of Ginobili and Duncan will rumble and Push along with all the tops in the West. They can beat any team so long as they stay out of a track mete with the Heat in the Finals.
Kobe Bryant is still a prideful guy, but fact is he does not have the same young legs as Wade and Lebron. But with a shortened season, who needs the youthful legs? Fisher is also an older guy who is scrappy but increasingly needs Shannon Brown and other Lakers youth to emerge. Short year and health for Kobe could return him to MVP form, he will still close but now will have energy needed unlike last year and Game 7 of the Finals in 09 when he ran out of gas.

Pattie T. Flora won the battle but hasn't given up on the war to save a line of century-old maples in front of her home in Swan Creek Township.
The Saginaw County Road Commission has hired a private contractor to cut down trees along Van Wormer, as it has in front of other homes along the rural country road, to make way for a road project.
SN: Here we go again.
It's the Saginaw County Road Commission vs. beloved roadside trees.
After several run-ins with residents just this year over trees, the Road Commission is on notice: It's time to reconsider its policies.
Friends, neighbors, a state representative and a county commissioner parked their cars Friday in front of the trees bearing pink spray-painted "X's" and "L's" and some of the three dozen blue spruces in line to come down, to save them from destruction.
SN: It's a battle line, if we've ever seen one.
"This is where we take our stand, right here," said state Rep. Kenneth B. Horn, a Frankenmuth Republican, who staked out Flora's yard with County Commissioner Ronald Sholtz, a Marion Township Republican.
SN: It never hurts to have allies in high places. We're not sure what jurisdiction, if any, that a state representative would have in a local road vs. trees dispute, but his presence does lend some weight to the tree-loving side.
The contractor called off work before reaching Flora's property.
"We're not going to get in the middle of it," said George J. Pappas, a work crew supervisor. "We'll wait 'til we get everything settled and we get the green light."
SN: Smart move. It should give everyone a little breathing room in this dispute.
Road Commissioner Manager Brian J. Wendling said the trees are in the line of where a new storm sewer will go. He said he expects the tree cutting, which was to end Friday, to resume.
"We're just doing our jobs," said Road Commissioner Richard F. Mallette. "If the trees have to come out to put the storm sewers in, what are you going to do? ... Do they want storm sewers, or do they want their trees?"
SN: How about both?
There ought to be much more flexibility in the Road Commission's attitude. Instead, its representatives act as though their hands are tied by their engineers' blueprints.
The Road Commission has a 33-foot right-of-way from the centerline of a road.
SN: OK, fine. But why, exactly, does the Road Commission need to run a storm sewer right along the edge of that right-of-way? In cities, where space is much more limited, sewers are placed under the pavement.
Where roadwork allows, and where residents object to losing their old trees, we can't see the harm in running a storm sewer closer to, or under, the road.
Flora said she would stay vigilant.
"We are not giving up," she said. "We're not finished fighting, if that's what it takes. And hopefully, changing policy so other people don't have to go (through) this."
Flora said she and other neighbors received hand-delivered letters two days before the work began. The Road Commission also had a public meeting on the project, officials said.
Neighbors said Flora's trees were at least 25 feet from the curbless rural stretch of bumpy country road.
SN: That appears to be plenty of space for both the sewers and the trees.
"I don't think it's (tree removal) going to accomplish anything," said Connie M. Humpert, 52, a neighbor who lives on another nearby street. "I think they're doing it because they can."
"If these trees are right here at the edge of the road, I could see it," said Thomas B. Pugh, 70, a longtime neighbor.
SN: A couple of voices of reason, there.
The agency should change its policy, Horn said. Township leaders have met with Road Commission leaders in past years to hammer out an agreement on acceptable practices. Most recently, crews removed trees along Geddes near Hemlock Semiconductor Corp. in Thomas Township.
SN: Yes, and there was a lot of squawking from neighbors over trees cut there, too.
Definitely, a discussion of the Road Commission's policies is in order, with an eye toward flexibility.
Ask around Michigan, and you're likely to find a lot of people who have had their run-ins with road commissions. Pretty much, what their engineers advise, goes, be it sidewalks, sewers or a perceived need to cut down trees growing into the right of way.
"My constituents shouldn't think that hasty equals sneaky," Horn said. "I want them (road authorities) eyeball-to-eyeball with these neighbors. They've got to answer their questions."
Wendling said another meeting is in the works.
SN: A meeting is needed.
And both sides should strive for a compromise that will satisfy both the need for new storm sewers and a desire to retain the quality of life that those old trees can provide.
Bearing in mind, that if those trees are a century or more old, they probably were paced off and planted along a rural, dirt lane long before anyone considered that, someday, they'd be in the way of some tidy line drawn on an engineer's plans.
Are the trees in the way, or is the trees' offense that they are in the right of way?

There are several ways that a vacation can be less than a memorable event. Weather can be unpredictable, someone can get sick or there can be unexpected political events in your chosen destination. Another thing that can spoil a trip is an unhappy teenager.
You may think that your kids are going to be mesmerized by centuries old frescoes and transported by the sight of beautiful ruins but too much togetherness can make for a miserable time for everyone. If you have the cash it's nice to treat your family to a comprehensive vacation in a not familiar destination but you might consider an escorted tour. Several tour companies now offer family vacations. A lot of times the participants will be multi-generational but each family unit must include kids on these trips so yours will be bound to make a few new friends.
At the higher end of the scale you can look at Tauck Tours, www.tauck.com. Under their Tauck Bridges line you can find some great itineraries that can satisfy even the pickiest of teens. Globus Family of brands, www.globusfamilypartner.com, offers departures that only allow families to participate. And Trafalgar Tours, www.trafalgar.com, makes sure that all of their family vacations offer activities such as biking along the California coast in Monterey, ziplining in Costa Rica or it could even be an experience that would be pretty hard for you to even arrange on your own, such as learning the basics of sword fighting at a gladiator school in Rome. The possibilities are endless and you might find that because of a tour company's ability to buy large blocks of space your costs might even be better than trying to assemble a complicated itinerary on your own.
Several tour companies have been offering air deals, or discounts on various tours and a lot of these deal expire on March 31. If you think having someone else do the planning and the transporting and arranging events so that you and your group can skip long lines at popular attraction and not only see new places but make new friends, then click on one of the tour operators mentioned and check out the possibilities.

I am very grateful for the advice and support I received while working on this book.

The ideals and concepts of liberalism have been used in feminist struggles for liberation throughout recent history. From the time of the women's suffrage movement to the more recent battles over abortion, women have formulated their demands in terms of equality, autonomy, and individual rights. Although numerous feminists have demonstrated their value, liberal ...
Part I: A Feminist Critique of Liberalism
1. Individualism, Oppression, and Liberal Rights Theory
Download PDF
pp. 15-36
In recent years, a number of feminist scholars and activists have examined the function of rights in liberal political theory and have raised questions about how rights should be defined and understood.1 Some claim that although rights can be used in arguments for women's equality, they can also function to uphold the power of privileged groups. For instance, in ...
2. Abstract Ideals and Social Inequality: Dworkin's Equality of Resources
Download PDF
pp. 37-54
Although political philosophers, feminists, and ethical theorists often employ abstract ideals to argue for social change, these ideals can also work to support and perpetuate hierarchical relations of social, political, and economic power. In the previous chapter, I demonstrated how liberal rights theory can function in support of such hierarchies and argued that this problem relates ...
3. Rawlsian Abstraction and the Social Position of Women
Download PDF
pp. 55-74
Whereas Dworkin's writings have not attracted much attention from feminists, the work of John Rawls has been the subject of considerable feminist debate.1 In fact, some claim that a reformulated version of Rawls's theory of justice holds great potential for feminism. Unlike many liberal theorists who focus narrowly on equalizing the resources or the welfare of ...
Part II: Abstraction, Ideals, and Feminist Methodologies
4. Idealization, Abstraction, and the Use of Ideals in Feminist Critique
Download PDF
pp. 77-94
In Chapters 2 and 3, we have seen that both Rawls and Dworkin construct abstract ideals in order to develop and defend their theories of justice and equality and that various problems arise from their attempted abstraction. As feminists, critical race scholars, and other social justice theorists have illustrated, the social context is characterized by various hierarchies, such ...
5. Feminism as an Alternative Methodology
Download PDF
pp. 95-110
In recent years, a number of feminist liberals have asserted that various aspects of liberalism can be adapted to feminist ends. In Chapter 3, I examined Okin's contention that, with some modification, Rawls's original position can yield feminist conclusions, and in Chapter 4 I considered O'Neill's arguments that the problems with liberal theory arise only with ...
Part III: Feminist Postmodernism: An Alternative to Liberalism?
6. Politicized Identity, Women's Experience, and the Law

pp. 113-132
In previous chapters, I drew on the work of Catharine MacKinnon, Susan Babbitt, Elizabeth Anderson, and Iris Marion Young to argue that certain forms of feminist theory and practice offer an alternative to both the abstraction and the individualism of liberalism. I suggested that without entirely dismissing the concepts of rights, equality, and justice, feminists can recognize ...

pp. 133-158
In Chapter 6, in examining Wendy Brown's postmodern critique of liberal rights, I argued that Brown does not offer any real alternative to liberalism's abstraction. Like the liberal theorists whom she criticizes, Brown fails to engage in concrete analyses of social relations of power. In this chapter, I treat the work of another postmodern feminist, Judith Butler, whose views are ...

pp. 159-174
In the preceding two chapters, I have illustrated how attempts to reject legal discourse, normative concepts, and moral critique can end up reinforcing the status quo.

BROOKLYN -- When Brooklyn Hurricanes' Head Coach Jonathon Holko wants to put the clamps on an opponent's best player on the court, he sends John Schnear after him.
Holko calls his 5' 10" senior guard his "defensive pest."
Schnear is one of the Hurricanes' starters and is averaging 8.5 points and 2.3 steals per game.
"What John does for us doesn't show up in the box score," Holko said. "He puts the team first, and that's something that we should see more in our society."
"I feel that good defense will help us win games," Schnear said. "I take great pride in my defense. Playing good defense is contagious and rubs off on my teammates."
Holko said that Schnear has developed by leaps and bounds since he was a freshman basketball player.
"He worked hard, listened to his coaches and dedicated himself to getting better every year," Holko said. "He's got a nonstop motor when he's on the court."
In the Hurricanes' loss to first-place Columbia Jan. 19, Schnear made it tough on the Raiders' highest scorer, Zach Stopper.
"In my three years of coaching this team, he's the hardest working kid I've ever seen," Holko said.
Besides playing varsity basketball, Schnear is a top student, too. He's made the honor and merit rolls in academics.

The Boston Bruins goaltender had lost three of his previous four decisions after winning 14 of his first 18.
But the Davison native bounced back, and guided his club to a 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night. It was his first win since Dec. 7.
Thomas made 25 of 39 saves in the final 20 minutes. The Bruins jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but Washington came roaring back with a goal in the second and third.
"I wasn't for sure what we were going to get in the third period," said Thomas. "They came alive in the second for a little while, but then they kind of went back to sleep.
"I was hoping they'd sleep the whole game away. That wasn't the case, they put on a big push."
Washington's Alex Ovechkin tried to knot the contest at three goals each when he threw a backhander at Thomas with no success. It was one of the Capitals' best scoring opportunities of the third period.
"I really believed we were going to tie," Washington coach Bruce Boudreau said. "But Thomas has beaten an awful lot of good teams with some great stuff and he did it to us."
Boston coach Claude Julien agreed.
"He certainly saved us, there's no doubt about that," Julien said.
Widely regarded as the front-runner for the Vezina Trophy, Thomas' resume is nearly unmatched by any other goaltender in the NHL through the first three months of play.
The six-year NHL veteran leads the league in save percentage (.951), goals against (1.65) and shutouts (five).
His 15 wins (15-3-3) are behind Montreal's Carey Price (18) and Detroit's Jimmy Howard (17).

The clock is ticking for Dora high school senior Katie Bickley in choosing a college.
As many students across the nation, Bickley is busy these days thumbing through college brochures and visiting campuses to make the best decision for her future.
Bickley was asked a series of questions in regard to her decision making. Bickley's deadline to choose is May 1.
The prospective college student: Katie Bickley is an honor student at Dora High School and takes dual credit college courses at Eastern New Mexico University.
She's involved with an array of extra curricular activities including the Dora Business Professionals of America program, singing in ENMU's University Singers choir, and serving as editor of her school's yearbook.
She's considering studying both math and music and though she hasn't decided what she wants to do professionally, she's considering teaching.
Bickley is also the great-grandniece of science-fiction pioneer and late ENMU professor Jack Williamson.
The contenders:
• The College of Wooster in Ohio.
Fast fact: Total enrollment for the 2013-2014 year was 2,116.
• St. Olaf College in Minnesota.
Fast fact: More than two-thirds of all St. Olaf students study abroad before graduating.
• Scripps College in California.
Fast fact: The campus has a tradition of afternoon tea that takes place every Wednesday afternoon during the academic year.
What are the top five qualities you look for in a college?
1. Offers a liberal arts education.
2. Small campus and small student body.
3. Opportunities for independent study and research.
4. Lots of musical opportunities for majors and non-majors.
5. A strong sense of community.
Would you study abroad?
On-campus or off-campus living?
Of the three colleges, which college would your parents choose?
They both said they would like to be 18 again and go to St. Olaf.
What's one sentimental object you won't leave to college without?
An autobiography signed by my uncle (Williamson).
What do you hope to get out of the college experience?
I want to have a broad basis of knowledge regardless of what my major is.
Who's opinion do you value most when making this decision?
I value my parents' opinion. I feel they know what my priorities are.
The Portales News-Tribune will follow Bickley as she makes her decision. Thursday's newspaper will profile two Portales students who have already selected a college.

Larsen launches campaign
U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen started his bid for re-election in Island County April 10 in Coupevilles Rec Hall with lyrics from a Broadway show tune.
In 2004, Island County will be my New York, New York, Larsen told a group of Democrats. If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere.
Larsen (D-Arlington) has yet to carry Island County the only part of the Second Congressional District thats not strongly in his favor. The district includes the cities of Everett and Bellingham.
Larsen said his re-election campaign will be based on jobs, security, values and responsibility.
Larsen plans on working even more with communities in his district to improve and encourage economic development.
Larsen said he will be working on getting a transportation bill passed which keeps freight moving and will create 13,000 jobs across the nation. Along with an up-to-date transportation plan, Larsen said the country needs an energy policy that focuses on clean, renewable sources of energy.
Our country has a Fred Flintstone energy policy, Larsen said. But we need a George Jetson policy for the 21st century.
Larsen remains an avid supporter of the military.
Im taking the lead to protect NAS Whidbey Island as the country approaches a new round of base realignments and closures, he said. The list of bases to be closed wont be submitted until May 2005.
Because of that time lag, Larsen said 2004 will be a year of controlling base closure rumors.
NAS Whidbey Island is in great shape, Larsen said. We have excellent training facilities and out of all the naval air stations in the nation, Whidbey Island has the most flying days every year.
Larsen discussed his commitment to all branches of the military, paying homage and expressing appreciation for the men and women serving in the military including the 81st Brigade of Washington National Guard which recently deployed to Iraq.
The successes weve had in Iraq are due to the ingenuity of the men and women in the military. Failures are a direct result of the lack of post-war planning for Iraq, he said.
The U.S. pulling out of Iraq would create grave ramifications for the world, Larsen said, predicting that would leave a training ground for terrorism.
Larsen said presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy understood the need for internationalism when fighting wars and terrorism. He hopes to help bring internationalism to bear in Iraq and other world hot spots.
In the U.S., people equate national security with personal security, Larsen said. He will work on plans that increase the nations security without eroding personal rights and privacy. Larsen said Congress must ensure parts of the Patriot Act that truly assist national security stay in place. Those parts of the Patriot Act which blow open the door to an individuals right to privacy must be repealed, Larsen said.
Never again may Congress act so hastily when so much that has to do with privacy is at stake, he said.
Larsen voted against the resolution that allowed President Bush to go to war against Iraq, but he voted in favor of the Patriot Act.
Other elements of Larsens campaign will be fiscal responsibility, veterans issues, drug problems and health care.
His comments brought applause from the Democratic constituents.
Larsen is running for his third two-year term. His only announced Republican challenger is Island County Auditor Suzanne Sinclair.

Mulally dropped in on the 45th anniversary tribute to the Ford Mustang at Barber Motorsports Park, where he received a rock star's welcome among thousands of the car's enthusiasts, posing for pictures and swapping stories with people in the crowd.
Asked about Shelby's criticism of the Detroit-based Big Three automakers, which started late last year as he and other senators opposed government bailouts for the industry, Mulally said he believes lawmakers have been positive about Ford.
"Ford is clearly in a different place," he said, adding that after talking with senators he didn't feel the criticisms were directed at his company. "Ford has a viable turnaround plan."
While both General Motors and Chrysler have accepted bailout money, Ford has not. Ford participated in the bailout hearings because it wanted to support the domestic auto industry, which is key to the nation's economy and security, Mulally said.
Shelby has said bailouts won't prevent bankruptcies among the companies, and his outspokenness has created a backlash in Detroit. There, supporters of the Big Three have started a campaign to boycott Alabama products and also have lambasted the state's giant incentives packages that lured Mercedes-Benz, Honda and Hyundai to set up shop here.
Mulally said every state and every country around the world has the opportunity to support projects that would benefit their communities.
"It's just about competition...I'm sure Alabama's trying to do the best thing for Alabama," he said.
Mulally added that Ford will continue to evolve its business, citing the company's commitment to improve fuel efficiency with a host of new products.
But on Friday, Mulally was mostly celebrating the Mustang. The anniversary tribute is expected to draw 75,000 people to Birmingham this weekend, including enthusiast clubs from across the globe.
"There are vehicles that are just iconic, iconic in the U.S. and iconic around the world, and it starts with the Mustang," Mulally said.
Besides mingling with the crowd, Mulally met with area Ford dealers and directors of the Mustang Club of America. It was his first trip to Barber Motorsports Park, and he called the facility "phenomenal."
"What a great thing for the city of Birmingham," he said, citing the museum, track and park-like atmosphere that makes it comfortable for families. "I've just never seen anything like it."
Gene Hallman, chief executive of the Bruno Event Team, which organizes events at the park, said the Mustang tribute is having an enormous economic impact on the Birmingham area. His firm's goal is to bring it back for the car's 50th anniversary.
Park creator George Barber said the Mustang tribute gives the facility a great deal of instant credibility.
"These people are from all over the United States and the world, and we have quite a few people here who would never have come to Birmingham," he said.
The Mustang tribute continues today and Sunday at the park, which is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets cost $20, and admission is free for kids 15 years old and younger.

The man was near the intersection of Fisk Road and Underwood Avenue SE at about 6:50 p.m. when he was caught in the crossfire of two groups shooting at each other from across the street. His injuries were non life-threatening.
Police found handguns in a backyard of one of the nearby houses in the neighborhood, but have not confirmed whether the weapons were used in the shooting.
There is no suspect information at this time, and the incident is under investigation.

PISCATAWAY – A 50-year-old township woman died in a car crash Friday during the winter storm that battered the east coast.
The woman lost control of a 2010 Nissan and slid into an oncoming car on West 7th Street at about 2 p.m., around the time when rain was turning to freezing rain, sleet and snow, according to Captain Scott Cartmell of the Piscataway Police Department.
She was pronounced dead at 7 p.m., Cartmell said. First responders took a 65-year-old man of Raritan to Somerset Medical Center for minor injuries, according to Cartmell. He was riding in the oncoming car, Cartmell said.
Police have not identified either person, but a family member said that the woman who died was Gloria Gold. An obituary posted online confirms that Gold died in a car crash on Friday.
The obituary said that the woman died as a result of her injuries from the crash.
Police haven't filed charges in the incident, Cartmell said. The investigation is ongoing, and Cartmell couldn't say what, exactly, caused the crash. Police didn't release an advisory to the media about the incident.
"We won't put out a press release until family members are notified," Cartmell said.
The department had been working with a family member to put out a release on Friday, Cartmell said.
Gold is the first reported fatality of the winter storm in New Jersey over the weekend. At least nine people were killed in "accidents" elsewhere, according to CNN, though the news service didn't specify whether they were all auto accidents.

A lead actress in "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" is leaving the production after suffering a concussion according the New York Times.
Natalie Mendoza plays "Arachne" in the production. She suffered a concussion in the first preview of the show. Four actors have been injured since preview performances began this month.
Mendoza was also shaken up by the injury to actor Christopher Tierney, who was seriously injured after falling more than 30 feet during a performance last week. The incident caused state labor officials to briefly halt the show so new safety procedures could be put into place.
"Please pray with me for my friend Chris,my superhero who quietly inspires me everyday with his spirit. A light in my heart went dim tonight." Mendoza wrote on Twitter after Tierney's injury.
The show recently pushed back its opening at the Foxwoods Theatre on Broadway to February.

Al-Ali, Nadje and Pratt, Nicola (2011) 'Between Nationalism and Women's Rights: the Kurdish Women's Movement in Iraq.' Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication, 4 (3). pp. 339-355.
h is article explores an aspect of the micro-politics of the 'new Iraq' by examining the understudied topic of the Iraqi-Kurdish women's movement. Drawing on interviews with women activists in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, we describe and analyze their activities, strategies and objectives in relation to Kurdish nationalism and feminism, focusing on the period since 2003. Rather than conceptualizing nationalism and feminism as either contradictory or compatible frames of reference for these activists, we understand debates among women activists as attempts to 'narrate' the Kurdish nation, particularly in response to the realities of the 'new Iraq'. We contend that nationalism per se is not an obstacle to women's rights in Iraqi Kurdistan. Rather, it is the failure, until now, of women activists to engage with the disjuncture between nation and state that could limit the achievements of their struggle.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – As the clock ticked down the final minutes of Ohio State's rout of Purdue two weeks ago, cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs stood before his players on the bench, slid off his headphones and shouted their praises.
In limiting Purdue to 116 yards in 56-0 shutout, the Buckeyes, to paraphrase Coombs' sideline message, had pressed the Boilermakers with plenty of tight coverage, and there was nothing Purdue could do about it.
Corner Doran Grant had a pick-six on Purdue's second offensive play. Corner Bradley Roby got back at it after some tough games. Asked after that win if the Buckeyes were confident enough in their corners to play coverage like that, Coombs smiled and walked toward the team bus.
"We're confident," he said.
That hadn't always shown itself in the Buckeyes' style and results. The pass defense had been the weak link in Ohio State's national title aspirations until a few weeks ago. Now on Saturday against what looks like an overmatched Illinois team, the Buckeyes will, however, be facing the Big Ten's leading passer in Nathan Scheelhaase.
"You want to see how much we have improved," Urban Meyer said, "because the last few weeks, it's been night and day from where we were earlier in the season. This will be a great test."
With more tight aggressive coverage fueled by a more active and aggressive pass rush, the Buckeyes have to like their chances.
As cleveland.com continues to compare the 2013 undefeated Buckeyes to the 2012 undefeated Buckeyes this week, having addressed it already in leadership and special teams, the toughest category for the current team is on this side of the ball.
There's no John Simon and Johnathan Hankins on the defensive line, and with Christian Bryant breaking his ankle in the Big Ten opener, a big hole had to be filled at safety.
Whether defenses are truly great or not, holding down opponents is a must for elite teams this season. Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State, Stanford and Baylor, the top five teams in the BCS standings, rank no lower than 18th in the nation in points allowed:
2. Alabama 10.6
4. Florida State 12.0
7. Baylor 15.4
8. Ohio State 17.0
18. Stanford 19.4
Compare that to Ohio State's defense last season, which ranked 31st at 22.8 points per game.
Like Alabama, FSU and Baylor, the Buckeyes also rank among the top 10 in yards allowed, at No. 10 while surrendering 311.7 per game. Last season, the Buckeyes were No. 34, giving up 359.6 yards.
Yet when asked to compare the two teams this week, Meyer gave the 2013 team the edge in offense and special teams, but said he wasn't sure on defense.
"I'm not sure we're quite as good. Remember this time last year is when we hit the accelerator and we played excellent defense," Meyer said. "I understand we're top 10 in the country in … total defense and scoring defense, that's pretty good, with replacing nine starters. So we are getting a little better on defense."
The Buckeyes are also forcing more turnovers, averaging two per game so far, compared to 1.8 per game last year. And there are more sacks – 2.9 per game to 2.5 per game.
The players talked a lot in the off-season about this defense gaining speed from a year ago. So …
"I think our defense this year is actually better than our defense last year," linebacker Ryan Shazier said. "I feel like we started off a little bit faster this year, too."
But then there was a lull. The players said this new wave began with the second half against Iowa, after the Hawkeyes had its way in the first half.
"We didn't play up to our expectations, but we played much better in the second half," defensive lineman Tommy Schutt said, "and much better since."
Part of that is a pass rush and secondary making each better. The Buckeyes are blitzing more, and the corners are sticking to their receivers, and providing less cushion, knowing quarterbacks may have to get rid of the ball. If this side of the ball was going to get rolling like last year, it had to get better against the pass.
And everyone knew it.
"We found ourselves in a situation where it was obvious we've got to get better at this," Coombs said. "It was a huge area of emphasis on the part of everybody.
"Our kids are very aware football players. I don't think you would say to them, 'Do you understand this?' I think they get it. I think our kids have a better feel for that than anybody. The area of great emphasis over the last month or so has been that. And the kids have responded very well."
Maybe well enough that before the end of the season, the head coach will think this season is better on the defensive side, too.

Ferry back in business after crab pot snafu
After a stray crab pot knocked out ferry service on the Keystone to Port Townsend ferry run, the Steilacoom II is back in service. Sailings started Monday morning with the 11:15 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend.
The crab pot was wrapped around a rope guard of the Pierce County-owned Steilacoom II, which is currently the only ferry available capable of navigating the difficult entry into Keystone Harbor. Rope guards help prevent lines from wrapping around a vessel's shaft.
Divers have freed the pot from the rope guard and inspected the other end of the Steilacoom II as well, said Laura Johnson, spokesperson for Washington State Ferries. Cancellations started with the 4:45 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend.
She said there were indications of a problem Sunday night, but officials couldn't get divers on scene to investigate until Monday morning.
Monday morning's incident is the second time in recent days that sailings have been canceled on the troubled route. Scheduled sailing were canceled for several hours Saturday morning due to fog and heavy waves.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse police arrested a burglary suspect early this morning as he was fleeing the scene.
The officers were responding to a 911 call about a burglary in the 900 block of Butternut Street about 12:45 a.m. when Officer Robert Ripley saw a man matching the description of the burglar in the 100 block of Carbon Street, Sgt. Gary Bulinski said.
The man ran away when Ripley approached him, Bulinski said. Officers caught him and arrested him after a short foot chase and a struggle, police said.
The suspect, Hector Ayala, 48, of 211 Hier Ave., Syracuse, was charged with second-degree burglary, third-degree criminal mischief and resisting arrest.
Ayala had gotten into the basement of an apartment building and was cutting and removing copper water pipes when he was startled and fled, Bulinski said.
Ayala is being held in the Onondaga County Justice Center jail. He's scheduled to be arraigned in Syracuse City Court today.

Wonderfully executed if poorly publicized by former PICA visual arts curator Stuart Horodner, AFFAIR at the Jupiter Hotel brought Portland's art scenesters out of the woodwork last Friday night and did not disappoint them.
Boasting more than 30 participating galleries from Portland and beyond, AFFAIR filled the courtyard and second-story rooms of the minimalist-chic Jupiter Hotel with an embarrassment of aesthetic riches. Local galleries held their own against out-of-towners, and the general vibe glowed quasi-L.A., except for the bar, which offered nearly undrinkable wine and no cocktails, and the très lame 9 pm closing time, which stretched to an only slightly less lame 10 pm drop-dead closing, at which point the DJ packed up his sound system and disappeared, leaving guests, in the absence of a suitable after-party, to disperse variously to nearby Farm or Union Jack's, or across the river to Fez.
An event of this scale and cool should have started at 9 and ended when the cocks crowed. AFFAIR felt like First Thursday condensed into a motorcourt, which is a good thing, actually, with an agreeable mix of the city's three main art cliques in attendance: the old guard (Laura Russo types), the post-mods (the Camella Raymond crew) and the new romantics (à la Justin Oswald).
Standout artwork included Jaq Chartier's raspberries-and-cream abstractions in the Liz Leach room, Diane Althoff's color-field photograms at Alysia Duckler, and Jess Holzworth's perverse mytho-sexual collages at New York gallery Modern Culture. Pulliam Deffenbaugh's Anna Fidler translated her colorful, semi-abstract shapes into a too-cute animation loop, while PDX's Ellen George hung a whimsically pink polymer-clay installation from the ceiling. An even more engaging installation came courtesy Motel's Jessie Rose Vala, who used corduroy, netting and chicken wire to create a tree in whose limbs a short film enacted the artist's own transformation, Daphne-like, into the same tree.
Fresh Up Club from Austin offered refreshing, lowbrow art, while Caren Golden Fine Art from New York presented Ryan Humphrey's fluorescent paintings, glittering with sparkly glass dust from crushed RC Cola bottles. The James Harris Gallery from Seattle offered a better drawing show (by Keith Tilford) than any Portland venue has produced in ages. Multimedia wunderkind Daniel Kaven gets the Gesamtkunst award for turning one of Gallery 500's two rooms into an immersive vignette, equal parts photography, painting, collage, film and installation, all centered on a fictitious May-September tryst between Brazen Bean cocktail waitress Renée Bielawski and former Satyricon proprietor George Touhouliotis. The digital film played on the room's TV as the collages (based on photos taken in the room several weeks beforehand) hung on the walls, while the room's post-coital details imparted vérité: rumpled bedsheets, cold cream on the bathroom sink, bubblebath in the tub, and clothes strewn about (his Armani jacket and slacks, her high heels and pink thong).
All in all, a most engaging endeavor. Congratulations to Horodner for masterminding and pulling off an event that, quibbles aside, framed Portland's strengths with considerable panache in a national context. It was an AFFAIR to remember and, hopefully, to be repeated.
800 E Burnside St.Friday, Oct. 1.

9 ct, 18 ct, 22 ct, 24 carat gold price per gram & UK carat price
The carat price of gold (gold price per gram) varies from time to time subjected to demand as well as supply ratio of that particular carat of gold. However, under the present circumstances the gold price per gram UK is pretty high and it is a very good time for all those who wish to sell gold. Start selling your gold and calculate the gold price per gram with our live gold calculator. The selling process is so easy, fast and secure. Try out today!
Gold was used all through history as money or as a substitute for money and was always a virtual standard counterpart for money explicitly related to a particular economic area or country. Several countries of Europe had applied gold standards – the value of gold price per gram UK during the later half of the 1800s until all of it was torn to pieces in the financial crises during the Wall Street Crash. Since the year 1919 the major yardstick for calculating the gold price per gram UK has been what is called the London gold fixing, a telephone conference of the representatives from some major bullion-trading concerns of London.They are the ones who fix the prices according to the carat of gold. Be it 9ct gold price, 18 ct gold price, 22 ct gold price or 24 ct gold price, it is these very people who fix the gold price per gram UK.
|amount paid
|9 ct/ carat = 37.5 % purity

|10 ct/ carat = 41.6 % purity
|1 gram
|14 ct/ carat = 58.5 % purity

Our live gold calculator is connected to the various commodity exchanges in London as well as New York and keeps updating the current purchasing prices every minute so it is very easy for our clients to determine the time when the price is just right for them to sell their gold. The carat price of gold varies from time to time subject to demand as well as supply ratio of that particular carat of gold. The carat is a measurement of the purity of gold alloys. The purer the quality of gold, the higher the carat price. At present, the gold price per gram UK is pretty high and it is a very good time for all those who wish to sell gold. We at royalgoldbuyers.co.uk probably provide the best services that you as a gold seller could dream of.

Billy Means is honest about it: He really had little say about how his wife, Denisa, and decorator, Jennifer Kelly, renovated the family's Esplanade townhouse. "They'd tell me what they were going to do and show me little pieces of tiles and such, but I couldn't picture what they were up to," Billy Means said.
Denisa Means, on the other hand, had the precise image in her head of how the house would look when it was finished.
"It turned out exactly the way I saw it in my mind," she said.
With a primary home in Bossier City, the Means decided a few years ago that they adored their visits to New Orleans so much that they wanted a place here for long weekends and holidays.
People-watching is a favorite activity: Before they had their own place with two galleries, they'd rent a corner room at the Omni Royal Orleans and spend much of their time on the gallery, watching the goings-on below.
"There's just so much happening here," Denisa Means said. "We don't come here to relax -- we come to have fun, go to restaurants and take in everything that the city has to offer."
Now that they own a 3-ý story townhouse on Esplanade near Decatur, they can. The 5,000-square-foot home is plenty big for the couple and their three children: daughter Anastasia and sons Rance and Noble. If extended family and friends want to come visit, there's room for them, too.
"That's one of the main reasons we got a place as big as this one -- so we could sleep more people," Denisa Means said.
The 1830s townhouse was down on its luck when she first saw it about two years ago.
"It had been divided into four apartments, and bathrooms had been added in funny places," she said. "There were lots of little spaces all divided up with flimsy walls, and nothing had been maintained."
Put off by the building's condition, Billy Means had reservations about purchasing it.
"But I could see what a beautiful place it would be once the floor plan was restored and everything was renovated," Denisa Means said. "Now it is again."
Kelly, the designer, played a major role in the project. She and Denisa Means became like sisters in a snap, planning and creating the vision and shopping for the furnishings and finishes they wanted.
"Every time we splurged on something, we'd call Billy up and tell him to keep working, because we just bought something really expensive," Denisa Means joked.
The design team's exuberant affection for the house shines throughout, right down to details such as elaborate door hinges and drawer pulls. Together, Kelly and Means saw to it that the home glittered with crystal chandeliers, that the deep-red entry hall gleamed with a Venetian plaster finish, and that the kitchen walls glowed with metallic gold paint.
"We call this our Saints kitchen, and you can see why," Denisa Means said.
There are so many fleurs-de-lis scattered about the kitchen that it would be impossible to count them. Trivets, platters, door knobs, picture frames, wall sculpture -- the symbol appears in one way or another on almost every item.
The color scheme, of course, is black and gold: Black-and-gold marble on the floor, black-and-gold tiles as the backsplash over the stove, a black-and-gold custom-made granite inlay in the floor, a black oval fleur-de-lis plaque on a metallic gold wall.
"Most people up in north Louisiana where we live are Cowboys fans," Billy Means said. "But we're Saints fans, all the way."
To be fair to her husband, Denisa Means gives credit where it's due.
"He chose the light fixture over the kitchen island, and now he likes to say that it was easy for Jennifer and me after that," she said with a laugh.
Luckily for the decorating duo, Denisa Means had a few prize items stashed in storage that would play a big role in the decor.
"It was about 15 years ago, right after Billy and I were married, that we went to a big auction in Dallas. Nobody was bidding on anything so we figured we'd get some great deals, and we did," Denisa Means said. "The problem was, we didn't have the house to put them in. We always said 'We'll put them in the house we build one day.' Well, now they are here."
Commanding immediate attention are a gilded chair in the front room of the double parlor and the elaborately carved mahogany bar in the second room.
"We figured we really didn't need a formal dining room -- we have the island and table in the kitchen," Denisa Means said. "We thought it would be a lot more fun if the second room was the bar instead of the dining room. We had an event a few weeks ago for VCPORA (Vieux Carre Property Owners, Residents and Associates) and where do you think everyone hung out? At the bar."
The double parlor sits to the right of the entry hall, which in turn leads to a light-filled foyer. A handsome staircase with a black-iron-and-brass railing ascends from the foyer to the upper floors.
The master suite (bedroom, bath and sitting room) occupies the front of the second floor, with tall windows that open to the front gallery. A door at the second floor landing leads outside and down a few steps to the slave quarters, where "the guest boudoir" can be found.
On the third level, 14-year-old Anastasia enjoys her own bath, a sitting room and a romantic bedroom decorated in a secret garden theme.
One last flight of steps leads to the finished attic, where Rance and Noble roost. It's an immense space, equipped with a big-screen TV, their own kitchenette and a bath. The views are spectacular (not that adolescent boys would notice): The downtown skyline through one dormer, Marigny roof tops through another, and the leafy green canopy of Esplanade Avenue oaks out the side window.
"We're just so happy here," Denisa Means said. "We love this house and this city."

We have been shamefully neglectful in following up on a key bit of testimony in the McGreevey divorce trial -- the bit when Dina Matos said she had to replace the carpets in Drumthwacket because Christie Whitman's dogs had soiled them.
At the time, we thought, "What the...? Do we really think a millionaire governor would leave behind a big honkin' urine stain on the carpets?" Say what you want about Whitman, she's always struck us as reasonably attentive to basic issues of hygiene. Besides, she has people for that.
Now it can be told: crack investigation reporting (that would be one phone call) came up with the answer
"They had one of their dogs down for a week, and they realized it didn't work out, and they never brought it to Drumthwacket again," said Heather Grizzle, Whitman's spokeswoman.
That was in January of 1994 -- a full eight years before Dina and Jim's U-Haul pulled up the Drumthwacket driveway. The dog, a Scottish terrier named Tokai, resumed living at Pontefract, the Whitman family estate.
"Aha!," you say, "Maybe it 'didn't work out' because the dog kept peeing on the carpets!"
Grizzle issued a flat denial about the dog's elimination habits. And even if you think the dog really did tinkle on the orientals, you'd also have to believe that innumerable people simply walked around it for eight years.
OK, sure, they've done that with the pension fund mess. Good point.
But not only did Whitman have people for that, we, the taxpayers, had people for that. Drumthwacket is staffed by not only a housekeeper, but by a housekeeping manager as well.
The condition of the carpets ended up in a divorce trial because Dina was testifying about the private funds she raised to renovate and upgrade Drumthwacket. Not that we're unappreciative, but we doubt that bit about the dogs. We think Dina just wanted new carpets. And hey, at some point in life, don't we all?

GLASSBORO — There was no chanting. There weren't walls plastered in flyers. There was no impending fear of loss.
At the joint meeting between the New Jersey Senate Higher Education and Assembly Higher Education committees at Rowan University in Glassboro on Monday, it was a drastically different scene from the perpetual protests and onslaught of banners that have flooded Rutgers-Camden in recent weeks.
Since Gov. Chris Christie announced plans to fold the Camden campus into the Glassboro-based school, Rutgers alumni, students, faculty and administrators have made their disapproval more than apparent through anti-merger campaigns, web sites, petitions and fundraisers.
"I definitely think it's justified," said Rowan graduate student Amy LoSacco of the Rutgers-Camden community's general reaction to Christie's push for the merger. "But a lot of people overreact sometimes. I think Rowan is doing a good job of preparing for [the merger] and I'm sure Rutgers is, too."
However, the anticipated Rutgers-Camden rally on the Rowan campus was nowhere in sight by the time the special hearing on the merger proposal took place.
Though campus security guards were at a few posts around the Chamberlain Student Center, the most commotion that was caused was when a fire alarm went off — falsely — two hours before the meeting was scheduled to end and dozens of people stood to vacate. Several left.
One security guard said someone had intentionally pulled it, allegedly by accident.
The Rutgers students that had showed up were quietly sitting at the meeting and Rowan students didn't seem bothered by the plans.
"I don't really mind," said Rowan freshman Tashay Wilson.
"I know [it's] going to change our status," said Victori Stewart, another freshman. "I don't think [Rutgers-Camden students] are going to be as happy as we are, but I think it's great."
A handful of Rowan students said they weren't aware any merger was proposed or that they had just found out in recent days. Others were undecided.
"Honestly, I really don't know if we should or shouldn't," Rowan sophomore Ashley Harvell said of the attempt to merge the South Jersey schools.
According to Val Kaselaan, the parent of a third-semester student enrolled at Rutgers-Camden, they definitely shouldn't.
"I'm here simply to defend my daughter's right for an educational choice," Kaselaan said outside of the hearing. "It's the only school she applied to and it's the only school she wants to go to ... They're going to obliterate her decision without any plan."
Kaselaan, like many, are looking for more details if, in fact, the merger is going to be a reality.
Former student representative to the Board of Trustees, Rutgers-Camden graduate student Daniel J. Swartley-McArdle said he knows the details and read the report, and could not be less in favor of a merger.
"Distinctively problematic," McArdle said, a Salem County resident. McArdle has taken issue with the proposal being released without more financial information and several concerns that haven't yet been addressed.
"Mergers are generally a good thing. It usually reduces competition and combines resources. Unfortunately, that model does not jive as well with education. In education, competition is better," McArdle said.
McArdle, who said he has an older brother who attends Rowan, has tried to look at the idea from all perspectives, but only sees the losses.
"I think it'd be a disservice to South Jersey."

Teeth Cleaning
Hello there! In the near future I plan to make a vet appointment for my oldest cat, Cami. She's 8, about 14 pounds. At her last visit, the vet recommended a teeth cleaning. Cami's teeth really don't look very good. Lots of tartar build up and her gums are red along the edge.
My concern is about having her put under. I am extremely nervous about this as I have heard horror stories about animals not making it during these teeth cleanings.
Can anyone calm my nerves? I'm not looking for "you should have done this for her" or "you should be feeding her this instead"...I'm just looking for support right now. If you are unable to give it, then please just ignore this post. I'm so nervous that I need some words of encouragement that she'll be fine.
Thank you

I've never been through a cleaning so I'm sure other will reassure you about the process, but remember that 8 isn't very old! A healthy 8yr old cat is likely to bounce back from anesthesia with minimal effort.
Has your kitty ever had bloodwork done? I believe that's recommended before anesthesia even for a routine cleaning.
Just remember that in the long run you're making your cat more comfortable ensuring they can eat normally and avoid nasty oral diseases for MANY years to come.

You could get them to do a full blood work up. This would give more info about her health. Anesthesia of any kind is risky and sometimes the risk isn't worth the benefit. With the added info, the vet could give you an idea of how risky it is. You should probably insist on sevoflurane or isoflurane gas anesthesia. It's less risky than injectable.
I'm always incredibly nervous when my pets or foster pets have surgery. I'm a nervous wreck all day. My vet knows it too. I have her call me immediately after and I call several times throughout the day to check on them. It's normal to be nervous or even scared. We care about them and there's nothing that will make us any less nervous/scared.

Let the vet know you are nervous about it. When I worked at a clinic we always did full blood work before putting any animal under- just to make sure all of their organs were properly functioning and that their body was strong enough to handle the stresses.

Make sure the vet hospital that is doing the dental is AAHA accredited.
Make sure their dental equipment is new. If the practice is AAHA
accredited then they adhere to stringent guidelines while doing surgery.
Here is a little info from one of my favorite Vets website on surgery.
(I also love this vet because he will not declaw or dock tails and ears! And says it on his website.)
What are the risks associated with surgery and anesthesia? What can be done to minimize these risks?
The risks associated with routine surgery such as spaying or neutering are very minimal and consist primarily of infections at the surgical site, usually caused by excessive licking and chewing at the incision. This is usually controlled readily by the use of antibiotics and collars. The risks associated with anesthesia have primarily to do with lowering of blood pressure and possible adverse effects, especially on the kidney. For this reason an intravenous (IV) catheter and IV fluids to support kidney function is required for older animals and strongly advised for younger animals. Also, anesthetics, fluids and emergency drugs can be administered through the IV line. IV fluids help maintain blood pressure in the anesthetized patient and will replace lost fluids. Upon completion of the procedure, IV fluid therapy speeds the recovery process. Additionally, studies have shown that the small chance of kidney dysfunction after anesthesia is virtually eliminated by the use of IV fluids.
Occasionally animals will be harboring disease that could cause complications during a surgery and that cannot be detected with a physical exam alone. Blood tests will increase the chance of detecting a hidden problem that could prove to be life threatening. For this reason pre-anesthetic bloodwork is required for older animals and strongly advised for younger animals, and you should ensure that the pets complete medical history is available to your veterinarian, especially if your pet has been seen at another veterinary clinic.

As above, I would recommend an overall physical and pre-anesthetic blood screening prior to the procedure to minimize the risks.
My Muffs needs to be sedated about once a year or so just for grooming. Muffs is a VERY nervous/timid cat and she HATES to be handled. She lets me brush her body (after years of patience, treats and tricks), but she still refuses to let me brush her tummy. As a result, every so often she gets mats on her underside that need to be dealt with. Believe it or not, she needs to be sedated for that purpose. Little monkey!
I initially worried about the procedure...but to put things in perspective, as my vet once said to me, the risks of anything happening to my cats under anesthesia are less than the risk of my being in a fatal car accident. I'm presuming you don't worry about getting in your car on a daily basis (most of us don't), so try not to worry about Cami.
If it helps, you can also discuss the types of anesthesia that will be used, the precautions taken, etc., with your vet. Most (decent) vets are very understanding of the worry that accompanies anesthesia and will (should) take the time to ease your mind.
Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

Thank you, everyone!
I made the appointment this morning. She will be going in at 8:00 Thursday morning and I can pick her up later in the afternoon. I will have them run blood tests beforehand. They also told me that she can't have any food or water after 10:00 the night before.
How often is it recommended for a cat to have their teeth cleaned? Or does it vary from one cat to the next? I just don't know if I can handle this stress too often! lol

Your cats teeth are healthy according to what you feed him and genetics. It wouldn't hurt if you continue to "brush" your cats teeth after this dental. Prayers for Cami.
Your are an excellent cat parent for getting her a dental. Teeth play a big role in an animals health. Dental care for people and animals are often over looked but play a huge part of our general health. But I'm prejudiced on this matter. My sons a dentist!

The vet should let you know. Generally with the animals I saw go through teeth cleanings, they were fine to eat like normal, unless they had any teeth pulled or oral surgery done, in which case they were on a soft food diet until it healed.

The Panunuluyan (derived from the Filipino word "tuloy" means "to come in")is an old Filipino tradition. It is the re-enactment of Mary and Joseph's search for a place to stay in Bethlehem in which to bear the child Jesus. Panunuluyan is still observed in the provinces, haven't got to chance to seen one in the province though. Many schools in Manila are still doing this in their classroom and school Christmas program, students acting as Mary, Joseph, 3 Kings and others.
If you're in Manila and want to watch a Panunuluyan, you can visit Cultural Center of The Philippines as they (CCP) and the Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC) mount a grandiose Christmas treat for the public from December 18-22, 2007. On December 18 at 6:30pm, the Panunuluyan will start at the CCP Liwasang ASEAN, and will move to Harbour Square, Folk Arts Theater, Sofitel Philippine Plaza and end at Star City. At 8:00 p.m., upon the arrival of the Panunuluyan group at the CCP Ramp, there will be a program featuring performances by selected artists and groups. A 1,000 voice choir will be the grand finale of this production. An event you shouldn't fail to watch.

CAMDEN — Authorities have released video showing the theft of a city police cruiser March 6 that hospitalized an officer and triggered a chase into the heart of Philadelphia.
Blake Bills, 24, and his girlfriend Shayna Sykes, 23, both of Macungie, Pa., are charged in connection with the theft and chase police say was drug-induced. Bills was allegedly behind the wheel when the stolen cruiser struck Camden Police Ptl. Sekou Reid-Bay.
The 49-year-old officer was released Wednesday from Cooper University Hospital, Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk announced. Reid-Bay underwent surgery and had pins placed to repair his fractured leg, authorities said.
He is now recovering from his injuries.
"We are extremely fortunate that Officer Sekou Reid-Bay was not killed during this incident," city Police Chief Scott Thomson said.
"Immobilized from his injuries and in excruciating pain, he still managed to radio for assistance. We cannot underestimate the broad dangers of the suburban drug buyer, not just to the inner city, but to all of society," Thomson continued.
"Thankfully, their heroin-induced crime spree was brought to a halt that day, but not before altering the life of a good street cop, risking the safety of people in two cities and damaging the property of hundreds in two states."
The video was recorded from a camera facing the entrance to the city police administration building. The theft of the police car can be seen in the door's reflection, authorities said.
Bills was charged in New Jersey with attempted murder, carjacking, eluding, aggravated assault and assault by auto. Sykes was charged in New Jersey with conspiracy to commit theft of a car and joyriding.

Three Wheatfield Twp. residents spoke out against a proposed park and recreation land ordinance at supervisors' July 7 meeting.
The ordinance still is in a draft phase. It would require all major residential subdivisions and residential land-development plans of 11 or more lots to provide park and recreation land that may be dedicated to the township.
Developers would be required to provide .3 acres per each residential lot. If the land is not suitable for dedication, the developer could pay the township a fee in place of park and recreational land.
Joe McNaughton Jr. said the ordinance means that the landowners of the township will no longer have a say, and are becoming a minority.
"I look at this way: I paid for 100 percent of my property, people pay for a 100 percent of their houses," McNaughton said.
Dianne Dahlin and Joyce Swain stated they also were against the ordinance.
"Is it legal just to tax one group of people in the township?' Dahlin asked, regarding farmers and larger landowners. "It's discrimination.'
Solicitor Johanna Rehkamp told Dahlin the law doesn't recognize the two groups as minorities or protected classes.
In a July 11 phone interview, Rehkamp said the ordinance does not tax anyone in the township, nor does it affect landowners, unless they wish to develop their land.
Supervisors scheduled a public hearing regarding the ordinance at 7 p.m., Sept. 2.
Zoning officer Lester Nace told supervisors that repeated complaints against a Cook Road resident were unfounded, and he no longer would investigate the issue.
Nace said for the last year and a half, Jennie Nickel and Mike Horanic, both of Cook Road, would call Nace to complain about one of their neighbors. The two believed the resident was operating a commercial business in the residential zone, involving selling stoves.
Nace said he has been called about the issue approximately 75 times over the last year and a half, and found nothing.
"I wonder what the taxpayers think of me having do drive out there and find nothing," Nace said.
Nace and Horanic debated the issue, and Horanic said he gave Nace time- and date-stamped pictures of the alleged business. Nace said the pictures were questionable at best.
Rehkamp told supervisors it appeared Nace had done a thorough investigation of the matter, and no future discussions were warranted or necessary.
In other business:
Rehkamp gave an update on the status of acquiring two acres in a parcel the township recently purchased. She said the quick-claim deed was ready, and it just needed to be signed and recorded with the county. Supervisors agreed to sign the deed.
At the June meeting, Rehkamp said the township would need to get a legal description and the land surveyed. The township then should be able to have a deed written and acquire the land.
Supervisors have agreed to purchase a 145-acre parcel from the Lawrence L. and Julie Z. Hoverter Charitable Foundation of Harrisburg.
At the May meeting, Supervisor Jim Fuller said the surveyor could not find a deed for two acres "dead in the middle' of the parcel. Rehkamp said the township could cite adverse possession for the acres, as long as it was part of the tract for 21 years.
