BRADY TWP — A Butler County woman was killed Sunday evening when a deer struck by a passing car crashed through the windshield of a vehicle that she was riding in on Route 8, state police said.
Carol Mitch, 51, of Oakland Township was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash about one-tenth of a mile north of Duffy Road at the border of Brady and Slippery Rock townships.
Police said the freak accident happened about 6:20 p.m. when a southbound Volkswagen Jetta driven by Timothy VanDyke of Butler struck a deer.
The deer, according to a police report, was hurled into the air and into a northbound Nissan Versa driven by Mitch's husband, Raymond Mitch.
The animal went through the windshield and struck Carol Mitch, who was a passenger in the front seat.
She was pronounced dead at 6:40 p.m. A cause of death was not immediately known. Butler County Coroner William Young III did not return a telephone call this morning.
Meanwhile, Amy Mitch of Butler, the couple's daughter, suffered minor injuries in the crash. She was a backseat passenger. No other injuries were reported.
Only last month at the Butler-Armstrong County line, an Indiana County man died in a deer-related accident on Route 422
In that wreck near Mushroom Farm Road, state police said, Daniel Grissom, 34, of Homer City lost control of his car Oct. 18 when it ran over the carcass of a deer that was knocked into his lane by another car.
Grissom's car crossed into the oncoming lane and struck a truck driven by a Fenelton man.
Investigators said Grissom died at the scene of massive head and chest injuries.

Colorado's proposed new rule to protect water from expanding oil and gas operations would not apply to more than 25 percent of wells or to the tanks, pipelines and other production facilities that are frequent sources of leaks.
Environmental groups that worked with Shell Oil to develop a tougher before-and-after groundwater-testing rule are calling the state's proposal a farce.
Colorado's water sampling "would be the worst in the nation adopted thus far," said Dan Grossman, regional director for the Environmental Defense Fund and a former state lawmaker.
Beyond major exemptions, it allows the industry "to cherry-pick water sources for sampling," Grossman said.
Drilling hotbeds near communities in Weld, Boulder and Larimer counties need "at least as much scrutiny of impacts as the rest of the state, not less," he said.
"At a time when the administration sorely needs to quell the outrage over fracking, this proposal will serve only to stoke the flames," Grossman said.
But oil and gas companies contend that even the state rule goes too far.
This week, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, charged with promoting the industry and simultaneously protecting Colorado's environment, is set to vote on the new water rule along with restrictions on drilling within 500 feet of homes.
COGCC staffers say they designed the water-sampling requirement to ensure that data exist to measure industry impact and to reassure increasingly restive communities.
However, adoption of the rule as currently proposed would mean that sampling would be less rigorous in the Wattenberg Field drilling zones north of metro Denver, where 17,844 wells exist near communities and companies plan to drill thousands more.
It would mean water samples are not taken at facilities where, according to state data, companies have reported hundreds of spills each year since 2008 — about 17 percent of these contaminating groundwater with petroleum material, including cancer-causing benzene.
For example, a spill was discovered recently by a state inspector in La Plata County — a leak of glycol from a ruptured hose at a gas compressor, which Maralex Resources Inc. covered with gravel.
Unless such spills are near wellheads — in the Maralex case, wells were close — state regulators would lack before-and-after data that could be used to assess damage to try to hold companies accountable.
La Plata County authorities made this point, citing the Maralex case, in a letter to state regulators about their proposed water rule.
44,000 jobs
The COGCC regulators serving under Gov. John Hickenlooper unveiled their proposed rules Dec. 31 after a year of discussions.
For Colorado, oil and gas drilling brings nearly 44,000 jobs, annual severance-tax revenues that reached $207.7 million last year, and state land- board lease revenues of $146 million in 2012, up from $108 million the year before.
Hickenlooper has called for a single, consistent set of state rules so that companies do not face a mishmash of local regulations that could drive them to other states. State attorneys are suing Longmont to nullify the city's drilling regulations.
Yet the COGCC's proposed water-sampling rule focuses narrowly on deep well-bore casings, where few spills are documented. The spills harming groundwater typically are discovered by oil and gas crews working on storage tanks and pipelines.
If the COGCC adopts a weak rule, state lawmakers could step in to beef up environmental safeguards.
Some companies oppose mandatory testing at all drilling sites, let alone at production facilities.
"To do it for every well in the state, that is a huge waste of money," said Mickey O'Hare, president of Maralex, an Ignacio-based company that runs 150 to 200 wells in western Colorado.
State regulators "are cracking down everywhere they can, trying to make us find other places to do business, evidently," O'Hare said. Maralex recently drilled in Kansas, where the regulatory climate "is much easier than in Colorado."
O'Hare says Colorado regulators who recently issued Maralex a notice of alleged violation for spilling glycol and hydrocarbons are bullying his company.
They sampled contaminated soil beneath gravel at a depth of 2 inches, not the required 6 inches, he said. The total amount sprayed from the hose was less than five barrels, which O'Hare said means he did not need to report the spill to the state.
Bigger buffer zones
The Colorado Oil and Gas Association has submitted an alternative proposal for sampling groundwater, spokesman Doug Flanders said.
Front Range local governments face demands from residents, such as Boulder County Citizens for Community Rights, to ban drilling.
State regulators' new rules requiring slightly bigger buffer zones and before-and-after groundwater sampling "are worthless," said Audy Leggere-Hickey, a director of that group. "They really do not address the situation at hand or the health concerns.
"The only thing that would meet residents' concerns is a ban" or a moratorium while an independent, peer-reviewed health-impacts study is done, she said.
State regulators don't expect to win over all sides, COGCC director Matt Lepore said.
He defended the proposed water rule, challenging groups' assertions that drilling hotbeds north of Denver are "exempted" — because a different sampling program using existing wells would provide data. He noted that Weld County authorities, unlike counterparts in other counties, do not favor a more-rigorous water-sampling requirement.
Oil and gas spills at tanks, pipelines and other production facilities usually can be detected by state inspectors, who already have a process for holding companies accountable, Lepore said. (The COGCC has 16 inspectors. Colorado has about 49,236 wells, up 31 percent since 2008.)
"I'm sure there will be citizens who will think we should have done more," Lepore said. "There will probably be local governments that think the same thing. We think our existing rules provide a great deal of protection and that our new rules will add a new layer of protection."

OLYMPIA FIELDS, IL - The Duke men's golf team posted an 11-over 291 for the third straight day to finish tied for fourth at the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational with a 33-over 873. Seniors Brinson Paolini and Julian Suri anchored the Blue Devils throughout the event finishing tied for second and seventh, respectively.
"This was certainly the kind of golf course where experience and maturity were going to pay big dividends," said head coach Jamie Green. "Brinson and Julian were challenging the top of the leaderboard and there was a lot of good play from the whole team out there today. I was really pleased and happy for them that they got something going in the final round. The last four holes really played tough for a lot of players. We were making a nice move and had we been able to cap it off a little bit better we would have been able to climb even further up. The guys played a lot of solid golf today and that was certainly nice to see."
Arkansas led wire-to-wire to claim the team title with a +14, 854. Florida finished second at +27 (867) with Florida State (+29, 869), Duke (+33, 873) and Stanford (+33, 873) rounding out the top five.
Patrick Rodgers (Stanford) posted a three-under 67 on Tuesday claim the individual crown with a three-under 207. He was the only player in the field to finish under-par at the Olympia Fields CC South Course (par 70, 7,080 yards). Paolini along with Daniel Berger (Florida State), Sebastian Cappelen (Arkansas), Austin Cook (Arkansas) and Nicholas Losole (Northwestern) tied for second with two-over 212s. Suri was in a group of four players tied for seventh at four-over (214).
"The fact that Brinson was in position to contend at the end is a testament to his level of consistency and mind set," said Green. "He played a lot of really solid golf with great saves around the greens and really good putting from six to 12 feet. It is tough to walk away without the top honor, but I think he is playing a lot of really good golf. That is going to bode well for him and the team this year.
Suri had a terrific round going to climb near the top of the individual leaderboard before suffering back-to-back double-bogeys late in the day. The St. Augustine, Fla., native opened with five straight pars before getting into red figures with a birdie on the par 4 sixth hole. Following four more pars, Suri added birdies on No. 11, No. 13 and No. 15 (all par 4s) to move to four-under on the day and within two shots of the lead. He suffered double-bogeys on No. 16 and No. 17 to end his individual title hopes before closing the tournament with a par on No. 18. Suri finished with a four-over 214 at the 54-hole event for his second top 10 finish of the season.
"Julian's hand and wrist injury from the end of last season and the summer has been a little bit of a challenge for him to get over physically and mentally," Green added. "Today he took some pretty big strides. He knew the challenge that the golf course was presenting out there and it really took some precision with ball striking and good decision making. You had to follow that up with some really sharp golf shots and I think he felt really good about a lot of what was going on out there. To get to four-under on that golf course at any given time is pretty darn good."
Paolini played the opening five holes at one-under on Tuesday with a birdie on the par 4 second hole. He slipped to one-over at the turn following bogeys on No. 6 and No. 9 before climbing back to even-par with a birdie on the par 4 11th hole. Paolini suffered four bogeys over the next six holes and added a par on No. 18 to finish with a four-over 74. The Virginia Beach, Va., native shot a two-over 212 for his ninth career top 5 finish.
Freshman Mads Soegaard had a consistent and solid ball striking round en route to a two-over 72 on Tuesday. He carded one birdie, 14 pars and three bogeys on the day. Soegaard finished the event with three birdies and 34 pars to tie for 39th with an 15-over 225.
Austin Cody, a junior from North Charleston, S.C., posted a five-over 75 in the final round. He got off to a rocky start with a double-bogey on No. 1 before bouncing back to birdie the par 3 third hole. Bogeys on No. 5, No. 6 and No. 11 dropped him to four-over on the day. Cody added a birdie on the par 4 13th hole but suffered bogeys on No. 15 and No. 16 before closing the tournament with back-to-back pars. He finished the Fighting Illini Invitational tied for 46th with a 17-over 227.
Senior Adam Sumrall struggled to start his round and to close the day en route to a six-over 76. The South Bend, Ind., native bogeyed three of the first five holes of play and three of the final four holes of the tournament. During the middle nine holes of play (No. 6-14), Sumrall played even-par golf with two birdies, two bogeys and five pars. He also finished the event tied for 46th with a 227.

Billy, Paddy, Archie, and Sam have been best friends since childhood. So when Billy, the group's sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it's these four who are taking over Vegas.
Sorry, no theaters are available within -1 km of postal code 00692 that are playing the movie "Last Vegas (2013)" on Monday, 25 June.Please try:- extending your search range, or - entering a new postal code, or- choosing another date.If after trying different options and your movie still does not appear with showtimes, your movie may not be playing nearby for the options you chose.
Getting the likes of Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas, and Kevin Kline in one film should be a recipe for a rousing success, and in many ways throughout Last Vegas, the casting is very successful. The main cast gives everything actors can really contribute to a film, and they excel as well as they can with what they're given. But the film shows that, at the end of the day, the script is king, and Last Vegas falters because its dreadfully weak writing hinders some fun performances.
Like another Vegas comedy, to which comparisons are unavoidable, the film centers around a bachelor party. Billy (Douglas) is trying to hold onto his youth with the grip of an iron vice. He's engaged to a much younger woman and decides that his wedding is the perfect time to rekindle his relationship with his three best friends, a group friendship that has frayed over the years. Archie (Freeman), Paddy (De Niro) and Sam (Kline) pack up to experience a weekend full of geriatric high jinks before Billy's wedding. Each of the four characters travels to Vegas with a certain amount of baggage stowed away in the carry-on compartment, and it's all related to aging, but the resolution to all of these character threads ends way too predictably. The first resolution to each of their stories that swirls around in your head while watching will undoubtedly be the one that pops up on screen before the credits roll.
One of the biggest sins Last Vegas makes is that it's just not all that funny, and the problem lies in the script. The film seems content with telling the same joke about old people over and over again, ad nauseam. It can barely mine humor from any other source besides the characters' advanced ages, pounding that theme into your head like a pulsing jackhammer. Jokes are fired at a machine gun pace, but so many of them fall ridiculously flat. Even when the cast is able to sell some of the feeble punchlines, they still aren't very clever or memorable. If anything, it makes it clear to see why these actors are as celebrated as they are. They all posses a serious amount of charm that bounces across the screen and makes the duds clank a little less loudly.
In fact, any enjoyment to be had from Last Vegas stems solely from the performances of the principal men, and sultry lounge singer Diana (Mary Steenburgen). All five actors possess a natural chemistry that carries the film's limp material around long after the script has forgotten how to be clever. They all have an excitable energy that permeates the rest of the film, but energy means little when they aren't saying anything particularly interesting. During the film, you're never quite bored or offended, but you're never excited either. It just chugs along in a miasma of general competence but not much else.
Last Vegas isn't quite dead on arrival but it's no a spring chicken either. Its high points ride on the backs of its stars' finely aged charisma, and much of the pleasing aspects that exist in Last Vegas would still be intact if the film just consisted of the actors sitting in a room, chewing the fat with each other without a script or direction. At the very least, they would have fewer stupid things to say. What happened in Vegas probably should have stayed there.

BOULDER -- Boulder County farmers would explicitly be allowed to feature the food they're producing by holding farm-to-table dinners and other such events on their properties, under a proposed new provision in the county's Land Use Code.
If it follows county guidelines, a farm would get a right to host up to six such "farm events" a year -- and have as many as 99 people present for each event -- without having to go through a special review process and get advance approval from the county's planning division.
In addition to farm-to-table dinners, the events could include wedding receptions or "any other gathering where eating and socializing occurs," according to the proposed addition to the Land Use Code.
Permitting such farm events in agricultural zoning districts would "allow commercial farms the opportunity to showcase their farm and crops, introduce their customers to the farm, demonstrate their farming practices, and host community-oriented events that provide marketing opportunities to the farm and help diversify farmers' income in a way that is low-impact on the land and neighboring property owners," the new code provision would state.
The farm events provision is part of a package of proposed changes in the kinds of agricultural uses that Boulder County may allow -- and if so, under what conditions -- or that the county may prohibit in the future. Other regulatory changes could affect the operations of farm stands, demonstration farms, farm camps, commercial nurseries and rural bed-and-breakfast operations.
The Board of County Commissioners is to hold a Thursday afternoon public hearing on all those potential Land Use Code revisions about agriculturally-related activities -- revisions that were recommended by the County Planning Commission on Dec. 19.
Land Use Department planner Abby Shannon said the proposed code revisions don't propose major changes in farming and ranching in Boulder County.
Instead, the code amendments -- such as the ones about farm events -- could provide Boulder County farmers with more options for "connecting with their customers," Shannon said.
Farm events such as farm-to-event dinners would have to be on parcels large enough to accommodate parking by participants, would have to provide sanitary facilities and would have to be conducted "in a manner that does not negatively impact" neighboring properties. The proposed code change says no farm event could start before 9 a.m. or last after 10 p.m., and it specifies that "the majority of the food served at the event must be made with ingredients grown or raised in Boulder County."
An agriculturally zoned property could hold up to 12 events a year -- more than the six the county staff and Planning Commission have recommended be allowed as a use-by-right -- if the property owner applies for county approval, and gets that approval, under a special review process.
Situations in which the property owner is proposing to host 13 or more farm events a year -- or in which more than 99 people are expected present at a given event -- would require applications to be reviewed and approved under a separate sections of the code regulating group gatherings, special events, reception halls and community meeting facilities.
One of the Land Use Code changes the county staff and Planning Commission had been asked to consider came from several owners and supporters of wineries. Boulder County allows them to be located in general industrial and light industrial zoning districts, but not in agricultural and unsubdivided rural residential districts.
The Planning Commission has recommended against permitting such winemaking facilities in ag districts. But it has recommended allowing "small-scale food and beverage processing," such as "wineries, nanobreweries and microdistilleries," as part of the eating and drinking establishments the county code allows in business and commercial zoning districts.

Manchester school board fails to pick superintendent
March 27. 2013 2:08PM
MANCHESTER - The school board failed Tuesday night to choose a new school superintendent, the Union Leader has learned.
"With regards to the Manchester School District's search for a new superintendent, the Board of School Committee will continue to search for Dr. Brennan's replacement," said a statement from Ward 5 school board member Ted Rokas, chair of the superintendent search committee.
"Last evening the board met with the finalists and we were unable to gather consensus. At this point, we are going to revisit our position paper, review the feedback from the various community groups and stakeholders, and start over," he said.
"The Board of School Committee, as a whole, has come to a common understanding that this is the most important position in this city," he said.
"We are committed to the process and committed to getting it right. Simply put, we are unwilling to settle for anything less than the very best. We will work with the search firm the committee has engaged to find the right fit for the District," he said.
"I would like to state publicly that all of the gentlemen we interviewed were competent and brought something new and different to the table. This decision is by no means a reflection on them personally," Rokas said.
Board members interviewed the three finalists behind closed doors Tuesday evening but didn't announce a choice. Shouts could be heard from the hallway outside the committee's meeting room toward the end of the meeting.
Board members wouldn't discuss who might replace Superintendent Thomas Brennan.
The three finalists were Geoffrey Gordon, former superintendent of Port Washington, N.Y.; Mark Toback, superintendent of schools in Hoboken, N.J.; and Vincent Cotter, retired superintendent of the Colonial School District in Pennsylvania.
The board has final say on who will run the district of approximately 15,400 students starting this summer, when Brennan leaves his job after about four years.

By Leslie Sinclair, D.V.M.
She was only the third caller, but her question was quite familiar to me. I am frequently a guest on call-in radio shows, dispensing information about veterinary care for companion animals. Many callers are looking for a different type of information, however, and this pet owner was one of them. After describing her kitten's early morning shenanigans, which routinely resulted in broken items throughout the house and cranky family members, the caller asked: "Doctor, why does she do that?"
Pet owners frequently call with tales of house soiling, aggression, destructiveness, barking, and excessive meowing and lament their failure to deal with these undesirable pet behaviors. While their concerns may not seem as serious as the medical disorders described by other pet owners who call, they may actually be more serious. In a society that typically disposes of anything that "doesn't work," dogs and cats who display undesirable behaviors are often relinquished by their owners to animal shelters. Because few prospective pet owners seek to adopt a pet with a known behavior problem, these animals are often euthanized. Given that an estimated four to six million companion animals are euthanized by animal shelters annually, undesirable behavior in companion animals is perhaps the most deadly disease of all.
We seem to be able to share many thoughts and emotions with our companion animals. They live with us, play with us, console us, and respond appropriately when we ask them, "Ready for a walk?" It's hard for us to understand why they don't always understand what we expect of them, and it may be just as difficult for us to understand their needs. The dog who digs up his owner's yard can't comprehend the amount of time and expense that went into the landscaping and rosebushes. But it may also be true that his owner doesn't appreciate a dog's need to exercise and interact socially with other dogs or with human companions. Denied social opportunities, the dog may decide that landscape destruction is an amusing way to keep himself occupied. A dog who gets plenty of exercise and companionship and is given his own special part of the yard to dig in will no longer wreak havoc on the landscape.
Tolerance is also an essential element of a human-companion animal relationship. No relationship is perfect, but a successful relationship is one in which the dog owner understands and accepts the fact that dogs will be dogs and will have an innate need to do all of the things that dogs do. Cats will undoubtedly feel the need to exhibit feline behavior, and their human companions must be committed to understanding and accepting that behavior if the relationship is to succeed. Cats scratch. It's a fact of cat life. Scratching allows a cat to stretch and exercise, to mark her home with her own scent, and to shed overgrown nails. Some cat owners attempt to eliminate this innate behavior by removing their cats' claws, and many are surprised to find that a declawed cat will continue to "scratch" and that some declawed cats are still able to damage carpeting and upholstery. Cat owners who understand and accept normal cat behavior provide an acceptable place for their cats to perform this instinctive activity, and cat and owner live in peace. Other owners express another level of tolerance, choosing not to restrict their cats' scratching activities to specific items but to allow the cats to be cats and to live with the consequences.
Pet owners who misunderstand their pets' behavior may be tempted to draw a line in the sand when it comes to acceptable animal conduct. Insisting that a dog or cat "knows better" may lead to a battle of wills that both pet and owner will lose. More successful is calling a truce and finding a compromise that both can live with. If a dog can't seem to grasp the concept that it is not acceptable for her to dump over the wastebasket and peruse its contents, the wastebasket can simply be removed to a closet or cabinet. Some cats, due to unpleasant (and sometimes unknown) experiences, refuse to use a normal litterbox filled with kitty litter. Trial-and-error may lead to the discovery of a solution both cat and owner can live with, such as an empty box or a piece of clean newspaper in place of a litterbox.
Where can pet owners turn for help in dealing with the undesirable behavior of their companion animals? Fortunately, knowledge of companion animal behavior is expanding by leaps and bounds, and help is becoming more available to the pet owner and to the "misbehaving" pet. Through books, public-education information, and consultation with behavior experts, pet owners can find help in dealing with and resolving undesirable behaviors in their pets. The result can be a strengthened bond between pet owner and animal companion and a renewed commitment to spending a lifetime together.
Experts in companion animal behavior tell us that undesirable behaviors can be addressed in one of two ways: by altering the pet's environment, or environmental modification, or by changing the pet's behavior, or behavioral modification. Increasing the likelihood of success of behavioral and environmental modification techniques is the use of drugs, or behavioral pharmacotherapy, to help change an animal's behavior. When "Charley," a neutered, brown tabby cat, was two years old, he began depositing small amounts of urine on different items in his home. After examination of a urine sample ruled out the possibility of a urinary tract infection, I determined that he had developed the need to "mark" items in his house. I presumed that this need arose because Charley's owner, a veterinary technician, came home each evening with the scent of dozens of dogs and other cats on her clothes, shoes, and purse, having spent the day examining, treating, and restraining animals at the veterinary hospital where she worked. To cure Charley of this behavior -- which was apparently justifiable to him but highly unacceptable to his owner -- I embarked on a course of environmental modification coupled with behavioral pharmacotherapy. I instructed Charley's owner to place her work clothes in a hamper immediately upon arriving home each evening and to stash her purse inside a cabinet so that Charley couldn't sniff it. I also prescribed for Charley an antianxiety medication that is commonly used in the treatment of feline marking behavior. The drug caused no side effects but decreased Charley's need to establish his territory. Within two months Charley was weaned off of the drug and his undesirable behavior was resolved. It is important to remember, however, that behavioral pharmacotherapy alone rarely changes an animal's behavior. It is only used to boost the likelihood of success of environmental or behavioral modification.
In many cases a pet's behavior can be modified simply by substituting an acceptable behavior for an unacceptable one. Dog owners often complain that their dogs jump on them when they arrive home. Almost any dog can be taught to sit quietly on command rather than jump, and this behavior is especially easy to induce when the quiet and well-behaved dog is amply rewarded with the attention she so ardently desires. Unfortunately, few pet owners have extensive knowledge of companion animal behavior, and -- quite understandably -- they often don't know where to turn for help in correcting undesirable behaviors in their pets.
For many reasons a veterinarian should be the first person a pet owner consults. Some undesirable behaviors are actually symptoms of disease. A dog who starts snapping at children may be suffering from painful hip dysplasia, and a cat who urinates on the bedcovers may be suffering from a urinary tract infection. Both of these behavior problems can usually be resolved by treating the underlying medical condition. Even some behaviors that in the past have been considered effects of old age are now known to be symptoms of medical disorders. Veterinary experts have recently identified an Alzheimer's-like syndrome in dogs and cats -- known as cognitive dysfunction -- which may cause them to act abnormally and to be restless and vocal at night as well. With proper diagnosis, this condition can be treated, making life easier for both pet and pet owner.
Once medical causes of behavior problems have been ruled out, many veterinarians can provide diagnosis and treatment of behavioral disorders. As recently as ten years ago, the study of companion animal behavior was considered a diversion for veterinarians, and little training in the subject was provided within colleges of veterinary medicine. Today veterinarians realize the importance of this subject to their clients and to the well-being of their patients. Animal behavior is taught to students of veterinary medicine, and graduate veterinarians have ample opportunities to gain training by attending conferences and seminars on the subject. Since 1994 veterinarians with extensive training and experience in diagnosing and treating undesirable behavior have had the opportunity to apply for recognition as specialists by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.
Even a veterinarian who has no training in companion animal behavior can be a partner in resolving a pet's behavior problem. Veterinarians often refer their patients to other veterinarians or to nonveterinarians with special expertise. According to Suzanne Hetts, Ph.D., of Animal Behavior Associates in Littleton, Colorado, there are three sources of help other than veterinarians for behavior problems. They are certified applied animal behaviorists, behavior consultants, and animal trainers. Certified applied animal behaviorists have specialized scientific training in animal behavior and have been evaluated and certified by the Animal Behavior Society (ABS). Behavior consultants may have the same degree of scientific training but have not been certified by the ABS. Both certified applied animal behaviorists and behavior consultants have either masters or doctoral degrees in the study of animal behavior.
Although cats can be trained, animal trainers work primarily with dogs. Most companion animal trainers are self-taught. Some may have apprenticed under other trainers and/or attended training seminars. Trainers typically do not have formal instruction in the study of animal behavior. Good trainers are knowledgeable about many different types of training methods and use techniques that are not unpleasant to either pet owner or pet. Endorsement by the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors indicates that a trainer has received peer approval and uses humane methods. Dog trainers who are certified or endorsed by any organization should be willing to provide a list of the criteria for certification or endorsement by that organization.
Animal behaviorists usually evaluate pets' living conditions: their homes and surrounding environments and their relationships with humans and other animals are all considered. This evaluation leads to a greater understanding of how pets may view particular situations and helps owners change either their pets' points of view or their own responses to the behavior. Trainers teach dog owners how to communicate with their dogs and how to ask them to perform in a desired manner. Training teaches dog and owner to work together as a team, communicating with one another so that they can peacefully coexist.
When choosing someone to help them resolve undesirable behaviors in their animal companions, pet owners should know what to look for and what to avoid. Pet owners should look for trainers or behaviorists who use nonharmful and humane methods. Recommendations that involve choking, hitting, or slapping an animal or the use of long-term confinement or isolation as a punishment indicate little or no understanding of animal behavior. A qualified person will be straightforward about a pet's problem, the possibility that it can be resolved, and the length of time it will take to do so. Some problems may take as long to solve as they have existed. A cat who has not used the litterbox properly for two years cannot be induced to change this behavior overnight. Anyone who "guarantees" results might be unqualified. Animals are living beings, not machines, and no one can guarantee that their behavior can be changed. Persons who misrepresent their qualifications to treat behavior problems are also suspect. A qualified veterinarian, applied animal behaviorist, or dog trainer will be glad to provide proof of specialized training. Pet owners should also beware of people who want to take their pets out of their homes, provide training, and then return them. Most behavior problems are the result of interactions of the animal, the owner, and the environment. The behavior of the owner often must be changed as much as the behavior of the pet, and this can be done only within the animal's normal environment.
With commitment, tolerance, patience, expert assistance, and perseverance, almost every undesirable companion animal behavior can be resolved. The key is to keep negative aspects of the relationship from overshadowing positive aspects. While it may seem that the animal benefits from resolution of the behavior, we must admit that we humans benefit more. The difficulty of resolving an undesirable behavior is a small price to pay for a lifetime of companionship, love, and acceptance.

THQ's Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter Results are online, offering the company's latest balance sheet, and the results are not pretty, showing nearly $21 million in losses, though this not as bad as previously projected. This also reveals some game delays: "THQ announced today that South Park™: The Stick of Truth™ is now planned for launch worldwide in early fiscal 2014. South Park: The Stick of Truth had previously been slated for release on March 5, 2013. Additional changes to fiscal 2013 release dates include those for Company of Heroes® 2 and Metro: Last Light, both of which are expected to ship in March, later than initially planned." This is accompanied by quotes from company president Jason Rubin, who says the delays are part of the company's commitment to quality. There's an article with analysis of these results on Gamasutra, where they ask if this is the beginning of the end for THQ?

Shantel Jackson Floyd Mayweather's Fiancée Post "Free Floyd" T-Shirts (Photos)
Floyd doesn't even report to jail until January 6th, but the Free Floyd T-Shirts have hit the streets (they look a little bootleg, but I digress).
One thing, I think people should understand is that Mayweather did plead guilty to a crime. It wasn't a small crime either, he admitted to hitting his baby mama in front of his children.
That is a serious crime and he should consider himself lucky that he only got 90 days in jail, it could have been a lot worse.
If that happened to you and I and we had a track record of run ins with the law 90 days would be considered light.
Now that I am off my soap box we can go back to checking out Miss Jackson.

Oregon's New "Football Performance Center" Beyond Amazing (Photos)
The Oregon Ducks are the kings of the college football jersey phenomenon, and now they just might have made themselves the Kings of football facilities.
The NCAA is supposed to be about amateur athletics, but the Ducks just broke the mode on Athletic training facilities.
Oregon just opened a new, state of the art, football performance center, and it is mean. GoDucks released a photo gallery from the unveil, and it's an amazing building.
I wonder if Chip Kelly is regretting his move to Philly now.

The Kansas City Sports Show returned to Bartle Hall this weekend. Do you remember the early boat, sport and travel shows?
During the 1960's and early 1970's, the show was held in the old Municipal Auditorium. Basically the format was the same except a circus was included for the admission price.
This was quite a circus. Everyone carried bags full of free brochures into the auditorium and watched high wire acts, lion tamers and other circus-type stuff. I mostly enjoyed some of the outdoor-oriented extras.
For example, a muzzled wrestling bear took on brave souls from the audience. If my memory serves correctly, a reward was offered to anyone who could pin the bear.
Most people were not willing or anxious to roll around with an 800 pound bruin, but three or four burley men usually stepped forward and accepted the challenge and then defeat — the bear was darned good.
My friend, whom I will not mention by name, was an extremely strong man who just knew he could pin the bear. This bulk of a man decided he was going to out wrestle his hairy opponent and no doubt be the first to do so.
He told me that a wrestling promoter would hear of his victory and offer him a big, fat wrestling contract to take on other humans.
He started training weeks before the show. He pumped iron and really bulked up creating a challenge for most men — and perhaps even a bear.
He even ran two miles a day to increase stamina required for taking on a magnificent beast. He told me, "The plan is to kick some bear booty."
Finally the big evening came. Evidently the he-men of Kansas City stayed home that night, my friend was the only one to step forward to this challenge.
The match started as most do, both opponents looked each other over a bit before clenching in the mat's center. My friend sort of disappeared in the bear's grasp.
The bear was manhandling my friend by tossing him from one paw to the other. The bear was having a great time. Then it happened.
My friend broke away from the bear, doubled up his fist and hit him with all strength available in the chest, backed up and kicked the old bruin in the groin.
The large crowd groaned and the bear's owner said, "Boy, you really shouldn't have done that, I think you made him mad, not a very smart thing to do."
And then a grumbling started and quickly grew louder. Really it wasn't grumbling but the sound of an extremely angry bear growling through his muzzle. The huge animal's beady eyes narrowed with an apparent look of real hatred.
My friend got the feeling that it was time to concede and started looking for a way to escape.
The bear grabbed my strong friend before he could get out of there, threw him on the mat and belly flopped on the befuddled tough guy. The crowd groaned.
My friend's eyes bugged out and he clearly thought the end was near. Then the still angry bear started rolling back and forth on my friend, who by now had lost the desire to fight a bear.
Fortunately the trainer and 15 or 20 other guys finally dragged the flabbergasted bear off my well tenderized buddy. He actually started talking two or three hours later, saying things like bear, goo, gap or some other things I could not understand.
That was the last bear-wresting act they ever held in the auditorium. I am sure the insurance companies refused to insure the bear act after my buddy went a step too far.
Then there was the native American who actually climbed to the auditorium's top seats by the big wall clock and shot arrows down several stories to the target at center stage with the greatest accuracy. He was an archery master.
I attended one evening to watch this bow master. He climbed the steep steps while another act was performing.
The audience suddenly become aware of where he was shooting from when the house lights were turned down and the spotlight centered on him with his bow and arrow fully drawn.
The ring master announced what he was going to do and a great deal of mumbling could be heard from the backside of the stage.
People behind the target suddenly realized that one of them would become a shish-ka-bob if he missed. Suddenly a woman and two men jumped up and started running up the auditorium stairs.
Three others followed and evidently their feet became tangled and they all fell down in a heap, sliding back down the stairs. The archer released his arrow about that time and it struck the target dead center.
Red faced, the shaken people walked up the steps, no doubt embarrassed and bruised.
The old Sports Show was fun, but I wonder if anyone ever beat that bear?
The Kansas City Sports Show is different today. Unfortunately, most people never get the full benefit of this unique show.
But the show is an excellent chance for you to improve your outdoor sports knowledge. Most booths are run by experts in their fields. For example, a man selling crappie tackle would know a great deal about catching winter crappie so ask a lot of questions.
Game and fish departments are great sources of information about the wildlife your pursue. They will actually show you map locations for good hunting or fishing.
Finally there are always special features, thousands of outdoor products and other entertaining elements to make the show worth visiting.
I never miss the show, sort of my own tradition to visit with old friends. This is an excellent winter destination if you love to hunt, fish or do other outdoor activities.
The show is a great help for conquering spring fever, especially during this crummy winter.
