What We Do
For over a century, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society has provided province-wide leadership on matters relating to the prevention of cruelty to animals and the promotion of Animal Welfare.
Working with its Communities of Ontario SPCA Animal Centres and Affiliated Societies, the Ontario SPCA educates on humane and appropriate animal care, reduces pet overpopulation through Spay/Neuter Services, raises awareness about unacceptable practices that harm animals, investigates cruelty complaints, rescues animals in distress, brings perpetrators of cruelty to court and provides care to all animals in need.
All of these efforts in support of Animal Welfare fall within several core programs and services offered by the Ontario SPCA:
Rescue & ReliefTM
What makes the Ontario SPCA unique amongst Animal Welfare organizations in Ontario is that it's mandated to enforce animal cruelty laws under the Ontario SPCA Act, which provides Ontario SPCA investigators with police powers to do so.
The Ontario SPCA investigators provide frontline protection for animals across Ontario by responding to nearly 18,000 animal cruelty complaints each year and rescuing injured, abandoned and abused animals. Animals that are removed through investigations are triaged with the assistance of a veterinarian and provided with immediate care.
By calling 310-SPCA (7722), province-wide, toll-free central dispatch number, you can help stop animal cruelty.
Ontario SPCA adoption centres are located throughout the province and help many wonderful pets, including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, farm animals and more, find their forever home. Ontario SPCA animal centres use the ASPCA's Meet Your Match® program, the only method of its kind that evaluates an animal's behavior and matches them to an adopter's preferences to help them find a compatible pet.
Ontario SPCA staff and volunteers work tirelessly to help create a better life for animals. One of the ways they do that is through Ontario SPCA Spay/Neuter Services. These services are a high volume, self-sustaining operation that tackle the pet overpopulation. Shelters, rescue groups and members of the public are welcome, regardless of geography or income level.
Shelter Health and Wellness
The Ontario SPCA offers training sessions throughout the year for Animal Welfare organizations. It also promotes the Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters to help provide the global Animal Welfare community with a comprehensive tool that helps organizations align their activities with recommended practices on all aspects of care.
The Ontario SPCA is also proud to have a partnership with the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph and Collège Boréal in Sudbury.
At Collège Boréal, the Ontario SPCA presents core curriculum material to students in the Registered Veterinary Technician program, providing training in biosecurity, infection control, disease management and behavior management.
The Ontario SPCA offers an elective focused on the growing field of shelter medicine to "phase 4" students of the Ontario Veterinary College. Topics covered include intake examination and protocols, observation period activities and assessments, behavior assessments, adoption strategies, zoonoses and staff and public health, infection and disease control principles and practices, and societal and animal welfare issues.
New to the Shelter Health and Wellness program is the Shelter Health Pro website, which saves lives with the most current best practices.
Feral Cat Support
To assist caretakers in managing feral cat colonies, the Ontario SPCA offers a Feral Cat Trap Depot program to trap, neuter and return the stray cat population; a free feral food bank to provide a sustainable support of food to colony caretakers; and feral cat shelters to provide a warm, safe place for cat colonies during the cold winter months. More information can be found on the Ontario SPCA website.
Service to the North
The Ontario SPCA works with northern communities to help reduce pet overpopulation by transferring stray animals to animal centres throughout the province to find them forever homes. It also provides spay/neuter services, microchipping and vaccinations for local pets.
Humane Education & Animal Care
The Ontario SPCA seeks to undermine cruelty and neglect and increase awareness about responsible pet ownership through the promotion of humane education and animal care. The complex topic of humane education is approached in two ways at the Ontario SPCA:
Humane Education Campaigns, which are aimed at educating the public and our Communities through targeted awareness campaigns.
Humane Education Programs, which are predominately geared towards youth to encourage and empower them to be a more informed, respectful and compassionate generation. Programming includes, but is not limited to, children's camps, extra curricular programming and our elementary school curriculum, which is currently available at the Grade 2 level.

After the Cowboys released top backup quarterback Kyle Orton, owner Jerry Jones reportedly said the club's confidence in Brandon Weeden helped the team make the move.
Perhaps Jones was on to something.
Looking comfortable in Jason Garrett's offense, Weeden connected on 13-of-17 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown in the first two quarters of the Cowboys' exhibition opener at San Diego on Thursday night.
On his TD pass, Weeden rolled right and found tight end James Hanna in the back of the endzone for a four-yard score, taking a big hit from Chargers defensive end Lawrence Guy in the process.
It wasn't all highlights for Weeden; an interception by Chargers cornerback Richard Marshall was nullified by a holding penalty on the veteran defensive back. And the tape will probably spotlight other areas in which Weeden can improve. But in his first game with Dallas, Weeden played like a capable replacement for Orton.
Now, it's on Weeden to build on this foundation.

These photographs were a project of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA).The UNRRA was officially formed in November 1943 in anticipation of the massive numbers of refugees who would need assistance when the War came to an end. President Roosevelt, representative of the United States along with emissaries of 44 other nations, signed the agreement establishing UNRRA. UNRRA's primary function was to coordinate the relief efforts of various agencies and provide for the care, shelter, rehabilitation, and repatriation of the displaced persons. Rapid repatriation was UNRRA's primary focus. In the aftermath of World War II, millions of individuals were left without homes. For the Jews, who survived the Holocaust, going back to their country of origin proved difficult due to the large loss of life and community. If this was not hard enough there was also the issue with anti-Jewish sentiment among their neighbors. In an effort to start again many ended up in displaced persons camps (DP Camps) set up by the allies in Austria, Italy, and Western Germany. The camps contained both Jewish and Non-Jewish refugees, A large number from Poland, who suffered at the hands of both the German and Soviet armies. Camp conditions were less than ideal at first and many Jews sometimes lived among those who had carried out violent acts against them during the war as well as those who bore antisemitic feelings. After a report was released by Earl Harrison, Harry Truman's emissary to the camps about Jewish suffering, the camps were divided, placing Jews into separate camps. In these camps, with assistance from Jewish relief organizations, they began to rebuild their lives, creating a culture, which included the arts, politics, education and religion. The UNRRA Operated until 1947, transferring its operations to the International Relief Organization (IRO). The new agency was responsible for the care of 643,000 displaced persons. Jewish displaced persons still had a long wait ahead, as finding a country to take them in was not an easy process. The passing of the 1948 Displaced Persons Act by the United States and the establishment of the state of Israel, opened up more options, but even then many would remain in camps until the last one closed in 1957.

Maxine Rude was a photographer for the United States Army and then for the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). The organization was formed to help the approximately 21 million people displaced throughout war-torn Europe. Rude was assigned to Germany in 1945. With equipment on loan from the Air Force and working from a makeshift darkroom set up in the former I. G. Farben Chemical complex in Hoechst, Rude and her assistant Norman Weaver photographed camp life. Rude's photographs allow viewers to dwell on the general difficulties of the post-war period, to contemplate the search for justice against perpetrators of genocide, and to glimpse the struggle of the victims of the Nazis as they attempt to return to their 'normal' lives. Maxine Lean Rude was born in Viroqua, Wisconsin in 1921. She married Leonard Rude in 1940. It was with Leonard that she explored her love for photography. In addition to covering the UNRRA, she attended the Nuremberg trials and traveled to 17 other European countries. After World War II she traveled to South America, taking photographs for the World Health Organization, including events in Bogota, Columbia, and in the malaria-infested jungles of Panama and Suriname. In 1989, she photographed the fight for democracy in Tiananmen Square in China. She died on February 29, 2012 in Arizona.

ODU falls to 4-5 on the season. The Monarchs trailed 34-31 at half, but a three-point basket by Aaron Bacote with 12:53 left in the game put the Monarchs up, 41-40. VCU's JeQuann Lewis came back to hit a jumper to give the Rams the lead for good at 42-41 with 12:22 remaining. Juvonte Reddic then scored for a 44-41 lead as VCU rolled off 13 straight points for a 53-41 lead before the Monarchs would score on two Aaron Bacote free throws with 6:38 left. In the first half, ODU led by as much as eight, 16-8 with 13:35 remaining after a Bacote layup. The Monarchs shot .469 (15-32) from the field thanks to eight points from Palmore and six points each from red-shirt juniors Richard Ross and Dimitri Batten, and freshman forward Denzell Taylor. ODU only trailed the Rams 21-19 in rebounding at the break. The Monarchs finished the game shooting .375 (21-56) from the field and VCU shot .375 (27-32), but the Rams outrebounded ODU, 50-35, scoring 30 second chance points. The Monarchs also committed 21 turnovers to VCU's 14. Besides Bacote and Palmore's 13 point efforts, red-shirt junior forward Richard Ross scored eight points with nine rebounds and blocked four shots. Palmore and Taylor each had two steals, while Palmore led ODU with three assists. VCU was led by Juvonte Reddic with 24 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots, while Treveon Graham added 13 points with five assists. The Monarchs break for exams and return to action next Saturday in Atlanta, GA. against another former CAA rival, Georgia State.

IRVINE — Pasadena Poly and Glendale High's clash for the CIF Southern Section Division V championship Saturday at the William J. Woollett Aquatics Center in Irvine was a classic contrast of styles, one which the Panthers ultimately won, 12-10.
But it wasn't until the final stretch of the back-and-forth match that Poly's streaking up-tempo style emerged as the victor over the Nitros' halfcourt forte.
Glendale thrived this season, en route to the tournament's No. 1 seed, on a precision inside-out offense based on feeding hulking hole/set Arman Momdzhyan and relying on a supporting cast of sharpshooters when the primary option was denied.
"Arman's our go-to guy, he's had a tremendous year," Glendale Coach Forest Holbrook said. "He did his job, he was able to put the ball in the hands of our outside shooters and our outside shooters just weren't able to make Poly pay."
Poly Coach Ryan Katsuyama said that was a byproduct of his team's overall strategy of trying to run the Nitros ragged, one which didn't always seem destined to work, as the Panthers entered the final period trailing, 9-6.
"We knew coming into this game that we were going to push the counter and make them swim the entire game, and if it came down to the fourth quarter, the fourth quarter was ours," Katsuyama said. "You could tell when we outscored them, 6-1, that it was definitely ours tonight."
Poly's counter-attack picked up steam in the early stages of the fourth, as the Panthers got right back in the game and took their first lead with a blistering 4-0 run over the first 3:21. Standout Spencer Rogers also finally began to make an impact on the match during the run, as he scored two goals in that span and three overall in the fourth quarter.
"We knew they had a counter-attack, we did a really good job at stopping them for the first three [quarters]," Holbrook said. "It just came down to a fantastic effort on [Rogers'] part."
Glendale's secondary options proved effective over the first three quarters. While Momdzhyan was held to just two goals in the match, David Papazian led the squad with four and Martin Chatalyan stepped up with three. But by the final period, the pace Poly was forcing seemed to take its toll on the Nitros' legs.
"They were hitting some outside shots, but you could tell in the fourth quarter they were getting a little bit tired and their legs weren't underneath them" Katsuyama said. "Their shots were sailing wide and high."
Glendale would score just once more after widening its lead to three in the third, as Poly's tempo, not to mention effective perimeter defense, began to take its toll.
"It's just tough; they play a really good zone defense, they have really good shot blocking and were forcing us to take bad angles," Holbrook said. "We took a few shots they would love to have back."
Neither team made a secret of the key to their success heading into the finals, nor did either adjust its approach. Rather one dared the other to stop it, and on this night, Poly had the winning formula.
"That's the way we play," Katsuyama said. "We wear teams down and the fourth quarter is always ours."

They call Missouri the "Show-Me" state, and Gov. Jeremiah W. "Jay" Nixon, a Democrat, wants someone to show him how a provision in a bill to force sales tax collection by Internet retailers would actually increase rather than cut state revenue.
The bill, which Nixon vetoed last week, covers several areas of business and personal income tax as well as sales and use taxes. It also calls for the state to support two measures designed to increase collection of sales tax by web and catalog retailers. One is the multi-state Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, under which 24 states have agreed to modify sales tax laws in an effort to make it easier for retailers to collect tax across the states. The other is the federal Marketplace Fairness Act, which was passed by the U.S. Senate in March. If passed by the U.S. House and signed into law, the act would grant states the authority to mandate sales tax collection by Internet and catalog retailers with $1 million or more in annual sales to states where they aren't already required by law to collect sales tax. Under current federal law, states can mandate sales tax collection only by retailers with an in-state physical presence like stores or distribution centers.
Nixon has not objected to supporting the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement. In fact, he has already included anticipated revenue from it in his fiscal year 2014 state budget proposal, his spokesman says, without specifying the revenue amount. In the governor's veto message for the Senate Substitute to House Bill 253, or SS HB 253, Nixon doesn't mention the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, also known as the SST. Nor does he mention a provision in the bill calling for the state to require Internet retailers to collect tax if they get business from Missouri-based affiliate web sites—a provision commonly known in other states as the "Amazon tax," so-named because its biggest effect would be on Amazon.com, the world's largest retailer by web sales and No. 1 in the Internet Retailer 2013 Top 500 Guide. Overstock.com, No. 31 in the Top 500, said this week it would re-start its business with Missouri-based affiliate web sites after suspending it following the state legislature's passage of SS HB 253.
But in his veto message Nixon strongly objected to a provision in the bill that calls for a 0.5% cut in the state's maximum income tax rates coinciding with enactment of the Marketplace Fairness Act. He contends that the 0.5% cut would amount to a loss in state revenue of $300 million per year.
He adds that the provision also would allow taxpayers to apply for the 0.5% tax reduction for three prior years, resulting in as much as an additional $900 million in lost tax revenue. Although Nixon notes that the Marketplace Fairness Act would also be expected to generate new revenue from sales tax collection, he contends that any additional revenue would not come until a year or so after the federal law was enacted, leaving the state to realize immediate cuts in tax revenue that would hit education and other "vital public services."
A study from the University of Missouri found that the state could lose $1.78 billion in sales tax revenue between 2010 and 2014 if it doesn't require more online and catalog retailers to begin collecting sales tax. The study also recommended that the state join the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, which enables states to begin receiving revenue from the more than 1,400 retailers that have voluntarily begun collecting sales tax in SST member states even without a new federal law. Under the voluntary program, SST member states can encourage sales tax collection by offering retailers free tax collection software certified by the SST Governing Board.
Without enacting HB 253, the governor's office did not say how or when it expects the state to join the SST and generate additional revenue for the 2014 fiscal year budget.
Scott Peterson, a former executive director of the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board who is now director of government affairs for Avalara, a provider of sales tax processing software, says states that are not already signed up with the SST can still expect to possibly receive some revenue from retailers who have agreed to voluntarily begin collecting tax under the SST program. Some of those merchants have been known to begin collecting sales tax in states regardless of whether the states are members of the SST.

Like Byron Williams, Beck frequently obsessed about Tides and Soros

As John Hamilton reported, alleged California highway shooter Byron Williams - who reportedly told investigators that "his intention was to start a revolution by traveling to San Francisco and killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU" - repeatedly assailed financier George Soros. Fox News host Glenn Beck, whose show Williams touted, has also attacked "evil" Soros and Tides, often weaving them into his conspiracy theories.
Beck frequently attacked Tides and Soros
Tides Foundation and Soros frequently mentioned by Beck. From the first day of Beck's Fox News program to July 18, the day Williams was arrested, the Tides Foundation has been mentioned on 29 editions of his show. In most of those instances, Beck attacked Tides, often weaving the organization into his conspiracy theories. Two of those mentions occurred during the week before Williams' shootout, and three occurred during June -- the month of programming Williams highlighted to journalist John Hamilton. Since the start of his Fox News program to July 18, "Soros" has been mentioned on 85 programs - nine times in June alone, according to a Nexis search.
In vilifying Soros, Beck has claimed that the Tides Foundation acts as a vehicle for Soros' ruinous plans to enact an extremist left-wing agenda.
Following Williams' arrest, Beck continued to discuss and vilify Tides and Soros. For instance:
- On the July 26 edition of his radio program, Beck acknowledged his role in "turn[ing] the light of day" on Tides by putting it on his blackboard.
- During the July 29 edition of his Fox News program, Beck vilified Tides by linking the group to his Weather Underground conspiracy theory.
- On the July 29 edition of his radio program, Beck said, "I stand by" my attacks on Tides while denying being "responsible" for Williams' planned attack.
- On the August 13 edition of his radio program, Beck said Tides is "made specifically to launder the money."
- On the August 17 edition of his radio program, Beck said that Soros and Tides "got the left to all stand together, all the people that hate America."
- On the September 28 radio program, Beck warned Tides: "I'm coming for ya on the battlefield of ideas."
- On the September 28 edition of his Fox News program, Beck said, "Soros and the Tides Foundation have been trying to indoctrinate our kids."
- On the October 6 edition of his Fox News program, Beck advanced former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's anti-Semitic claim that Soros was "helped trigger the economic meltdown" of Southeast Asian currencies in 1997, which Mahathir had reportedly suggested was part of a Jewish "agenda." In fact, Soros and other hedge funds were found not to be primarily responsible for the currency crisis, and Mahathir later retracted the claim.
Beck vilifies "evil" Soros
Beck ties Soros to his $2 billion Brazilian oil conspiracy. On his June 17 Fox News show, Beck pushed a conspiracy theory that the Obama administration's drilling moratorium is part of a plot to enrich Soros through increased oil drilling in Brazil. Beck said that if "your job isn't more secure and your energy isn't cheaper, who wins? Because you're not. Who does? Well, the usual suspects." Beck mentioned drilling offshore in Brazil and claimed:
Again, George Soros has nothing to gain from this. He's just telling the president what to do through the Center for American Progress. The Soros Fund Management LLC, I guess we should tell you this, holds a stake in Petrobas [sic], that is the oil company of Brazil, in the amount of $900 million as of December 31, 2009. Petrobas, theBrazilian oil company that the Obama administration -- get this -- the Obamaadministration is now lending $2 billion to. You ready? Wait for it. What is the $2 billion going for? To perform offshore drilling in Brazil.
On June 21, Beck again questioned whether Soros "knew that the administration would be making a $2 billion preliminary commitment" to Petrobras "just days after he strengthened his investment. Isn't that weird?" Beck further said that "in a completely unrelated story, BP has the oil spill," later saying, "Then Obama suspends the deepwater drilling at 1,500 meters. He says 'Hey, hey, that's dangerous! Fifteen hundred meters, that's crazy.' Petrobras is drilling at 2,777 meters. Obama knows it and loans $2 billion to Petrobras. Last stop, Petrobras shareholders get rich," and "You, getting screwed."
Beck's theory is based on the false claim that Obama issued a loan to Brazil's Petrobras oil company; in reality, the loan was approved by appointees of the Bush administration to the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Kevin Varney, senior vice president and chief of staff of the bank has reportedly said that the decision to approve the loan "did not even rise to the level of presidential awareness." Furthermore, Soros decreased his stake in Petrobras before the funds for the loan in question were distributed.
Williams echoes oil conspiracy. As John Hamilton reported in "Progressive Hunter":
But my interviews show how Byron was motivated by his belief in a grand conspiracy involving George Soros, Barack Obama, Petrobras, and the Gulf oil spill -- a theory for which he frequently cites Beck and Alex Jones.
Like Beck, Byron insists -- falsely -- that Tides is a front group for Soros to fund radical activities.
Byron says that he had researched Tides on his own before seeing Beck attack the foundation on television. In his letter to me, he singled out Beck and DiscoverTheNetworks as key sources of information on Soros and Tides.
At one point Byron told me, "I haven't seen any programs with Tides and Beck," before reconsidering a moment later. "He mentions it, you know, just as a footnote or a side note in his programs."
Indeed, I hunted down the June shows on the Soros-Obama-Petrobras conspiracy that Byron insisted I watch and found Beck attacking Soros and the Tides Foundation.
Having seen Beck raise the conspiracy, Williams says he became enraged when Fox News didn't pursue it further. Asked by Examiner.com's Walsh if he still would have concocted the plot "if it hadn't been for Fox News," Byron said: "I'm actually mad at Fox. I'm mad at them because they go on to something else. It's like they drop the issue, and it lands on a shelf somewhere to collect dust, and that's what's happening to the truth, it's going out and collecting dust. And I'm saying you're not going to let these people get away with this stuff. You can't let them get away with it. So this is my action because of Fox's neglect."
Beck: Soros is "looking to replace the capitalist system once it's been destroyed." On June 21, Beck said, "I don't know if [George Soros] is a radical that's been trying to implement the Cloward and Piven strategy on collapsing the system." Beck went on to claim that Soros is "one of the guys looking to replace the capitalist system once it has been destroyed." This accusation is based on a distortion of a Soros quote. Soros said that the international currency system -- not the capitalist system -- is "broken and needs to be reconstituted."
Beck suggests Soros will try to have him killed. On June 21, while detailing his Petrobras conspiracy theory, Beck said, "Gasoline Brazil. Now why am I telling you about this? Have you heard of another word? Soros. George Soros.I do have a bulletproof car, George. I just want you to know." Later on the same program (retrieved from Nexis), Beck also called Soros a "spooky dude."
Beck: Soros is "evil." On his June 7 show, Beck said: "Who are the elites? I mean, you could put a billion people up here. But Al Gore, he's just trying to help the planet. That's all he's trying to do. That's all he's -- George Soros, he is just -- I don't know what -- he's evil. Well, I am just trying to tell you that it's all unsustainable and we got to raise taxes. And here are some more elites. OK? They are taking from you. You can't afford it. They are taking it from you and giving it under the guise of giving it to the poor, to their elites. That is what is happening. Hello?"
Beck ties Soros and Tides together
Beck connects Soros and Tides on conspiracy theory chart. On the September 21, 2009, edition of his Fox News program, Beck put George Soros at the top of a chart he used to attack The Tides Foundation, The Apollo Alliance, Health Care For America Now, ACORN, the Apollo Alliance, and SEIU. From the program:
Beck connects Tides to Soros during oil conspiracy rant. On his June 22 show (retrieved from Nexis), while discussing his oil conspiracy, Beck said: "But there is something in it for the players of Crime Inc. At one time, George Soros had $900 million invested in this company. Now before you dismiss the connection, look how much influence the Soros' Center for American Progress has on this administration." Beck later mentioned Tides, stating:
How about the Center for American Progress? The influence of this man on this man, with your money, through the Center for American Progress.
How about Tides? How about indoctrination? Forget God. It's in George Soros we trust. Oh, he's going to get his. He is going to get his. I don't mean -- I don't mean he is going to get his, like he may get his from God, but he's going to get his money. He's invested in the president. He signed all this up.
Beck: Tides, through backing from Soros, responsible "for some of the most extreme groups on the left." On his May 21, 2009, program (from Nexis), Beck said:
So who is Drummond Pike, and what is the Tides Foundation? Well, the Tides Foundation is a major source of revenue for some of the most extreme groups on the left. Tides was set up as a public charity that receives money from their donors to be funneled to the recipients of their choice.
Because many of these recipient groups are quite radical, the donors reportedly don't want to be publicly linked with them. So Tides can pass their money along to the intended beneficiaries without the paper trail.
One of Tides' most generous donors, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry. She has reportedly giving the foundation more than $8 million over the years.
Also, liberal giant George Soros, and California mortgage billionaires Herb and Marion Sandler.
Beck: "Soros has the Tides Foundation." On January 25, Beck said that "Soros has the Tides Foundation. He heavily donates to this."
Beck: "George Soros money" being used for "indoctrination" through Tides. On June 21, Beck said that Soros also "helped start the Tides Foundation, which among its many super, super classics are the anti-capitalist 'Story of Stuff,' indoctrination video. Yes, George Soros money. Isn't that great? Shown in schools all across America to warp your children's brains and make sure they know how evil capitalism is."
Beck: "George Soros-funded Tides Foundation" behind "capitalism is evil" video. On his March 5 show, Beck said:
Our children are being indoctrinated and it must be exposed. It must end because history has shown us where it can lead. Kids in elementary schools are being taught about cross-dressing, that they shouldn't listen to their parents all the time because their parents don't always know what's best.
They're taught capitalism is evil. Videos like this one are being played in classrooms cross country, made by the George Soros-funded Tides Foundation.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (video clip): It's the government's job to watch out for us, to take care of us. That's their job.
Beck also referenced the "video made by the George Soros-funded Tides Foundation" on October 29, 2009.
Beck fearmongers about Tides
In addition to fearmongering about Tides and Soros together, Beck regularly fearmongered about Tides' supposed ruinous agenda against the country.
Beck: Tides trying to destroy capitalism. On July 13, Beck said:
Well, they have the education system. They have the media. They have the capitalist system. What do you think the Tides Foundation was? They infiltrate and they saw under Ronald Reagan that capitalists were not for all of this nonsense, so they infiltrated. Now, they are using failing capitalism to destroy it.
Beck: Tides trying to "infiltrate and gain control of big businesses. On June 24, while discussing the "1963 communist goals," Beck said: "Thirty-seven: Infiltrate and gain control of big businesses. What do you think the Tides Foundation is?"
Beck says Tides is a "really shady organization." From the May 11 edition of Beck's program:
You know, last week, I couldn't believe that -- that answer I gave on FOX last week about the Miranda rights, that was off the top of my head. I didn't -- I just got up. I mean, I was up for about 20 minutes while I did this episode.
And even the founders of -- the founder of Tides, remember that? The really shady organization that I'm like -- run for your life, it's Drummond Pike!
Drummond Pike wrote this, "Why I love Glenn Beck." He says, "Beck has just done the right thing, and he deserves praise, even from his rhetorical enemies."
Are you kidding me? It's Tides! I mean, I read that one, I'm like, I should rethink this whole thing.
Beck: They have a "Trojan horse" "called members of the Tides Foundation." From Beck's October 5, 2009, show:
I don't have a stealthy agenda, but, I'm still called a conspiracy theorist. Isn't that weird? You know, they have a stealthy agenda, but they're not called conspiracy theorists. They're just called community organizers.
How about this? If I had an idea that I cloaked and made it a Trojan horse, I'd be a nutjob or a conspiracy theorist. But when they have a Trojan horse -- no, no, they're not called that. They're called members of the Tides Foundation.
Tides debunks Beck's conspiracy theory
John Hamilton reported in "Progressive Hunter" on the Tides Foundation debunking Beck's conspiracy theory about the organization:
I share with Pike the transcript of my jailhouse interview with Byron, noting how Byron echoed the theory advanced on Beck's chalkboard when he said that "Soros has the Tides Foundation and the Tides fund. He funnels billions of donated dollars into the fund, which he uses for all kinds of nefarious activities."
Pike is incredulous. "Where does that come from? I mean, what evidence is there?"
George Soros, Pike tells me, has only provided funding to the Tides Foundation relatively recently.
"I finally met him maybe three years ago for the first time," Pike explains. "Tides is 35 years old."
Pike says Soros' philanthropic groups may have lent a comparatively small amount of support to Tides but that "George Soros doesn't own us. He's not on our board. He's not a major donor to us. We have hundreds of foundations and many corporations that have supported our projects."
Spokeswoman Christine Coleman would later tell me that only a small fraction of the Tides Foundation's funding came from Soros' charitable organization, the Open Society Institute. "The percentage of funds that have come to Tides from OSI," she wrote, "is well under five percent of our total contributions."
I ask Pike about the most visible proponent of the Tides-Soros conspiracy theory.
"I wish Glenn Beck would grow up and learn that he has real responsibilities," Pike says. "He has a very magnified voice in the media landscape of the U.S., and Fox -- the network that carries his show -- bears responsibility as well."

Nationally-known baseball blogger and numbers geek Rob Neyer joined SB Nation as its national baseball editor on Feb. 1 after 15 years at ESPN. He took time out of his busy schedule at his new gig to chat with me Wednesday about the 2011 Orioles, and I thank him for that.
(Be sure to check Neyer's work at SB Nation, though you probably have been already.)
Neyer and I chatted about a lot of things, from Adam Jones, Matt Wieters and the talented young pitching staff to the Buck Showalter effect and the blueprint for winning in the AL East. Neyer also gave his outlook for the Orioles in 2011, though my headline kind of spoils the big finish. Anyway, here's the interview:
MV: Everyone talks about the effect that manager Buck Showalter has on the development of young players. But what is it about Buck that has historically gotten him results on up-and-coming teams?
RN: I can't say for sure what it is … but it's almost magical to me what he seems to do. It's essentially worked with one exception, his first year in Texas where things didn't get better at all. The next year, Alex Rodriguez went to the Yankees and the Rangers took a big step just as the Yankees did when he went there and the Diamondbacks did when he went there. I don't know how he does it. I just know that he seems to be able to do something that has that immediate impact.
MV: By design, the Orioles' success hinges on the development of the young pitchers. How do you evaluate guys like Brian Matusz, Jake Arrieta, Brad Bergesen and Chris Tillman, and do you think this group has the potential to carry the Orioles to a World Series one day like the Giants staff did?
RN: I think they do. I also think that it's a very tall order. It's incredibly rare. … My standard rule of thumb is that if you have four pitchers, two of them are probably going to get hurt and their development is going to be delayed. [The Orioles staff] pitched well after Showalter took over [last season], and I think he deserves some credit for that. How much? I have no idea. What could Buck Showalter have possible done to make all those guys start pitching better? I don't know.
But the fact that they did pitch better from August forward does give me some reason to think they will continue to pitch well. I don't think they're all going to be aces. I think Matusz is going to be a star at some point. I like Arrieta. And Tillman, you have to think he's going to develop at some point, too. The problem is that pitchers develop according to their own schedule, not ours.
MV: Speaking of the Giants, Buster Posey raised the bar for Matt Wieters with his eye-opening rookie campaign. Do you think Wieters will live up to the immense hype here or be crushed by it?
RN: I'm not sure people should be [high on Wieters] after the past two seasons he's had. The case with Posey is, and I think it's interesting, is that when a catcher comes up and doesn't play as well as expected, it's easy for people to say, "Well, it's harder for catchers because they have to do so many more things." Then Posey comes up and becomes a star immediately, so we know it certainly can be done. I think a little too much weight was put on Wieters' last season in the minors, which was obviously outstanding. ...
I will say that he isn't as good as I thought he would be, and after two seasons like this, you have to start wondering. I thought he would bounce back with a better 2010, but he was actually a little bit worse. The trend line is not heading in the right direction. … Do I think he's going to have a good season? I do. Do I think he's going to be a superstar? At this point, I don't.
MV: How do you see the Orioles' closer situation playing out with Kevin Gregg, Koji Uehara and Michael Gonzalez all in the mix?
RN: I'd probably go with Gonzalez based on his track record, but it's a fluid situation with no one obvious candidate. … I don't really think it's all that important who gets the job from the start because it's going to change and it's not really going to make or break the Orioles' season.
MV: Has Nick Markakis reached his ceiling, or will his production increase now that the Orioles have upgraded the lineup around him?
RN: I think he'll drive in more runs with better hitters around him, but I don't think they're going to make him a better hitter. It doesn't work that way. As far as his ceiling, I think we have seen what type of player he is going to be. He's now into his peak years and I don't think he's going to be a better player than what we've seen. Now he'll have some great seasons -- hopefully a little better than what he's had -- but I think this is who he is.
MV: What about Adam Jones? Do you see star potential there?
RN: He's a little younger than Markakis and I would expect to see better seasons from him. Again, three years ago, I thought he was going to be a big star. I'm not convinced of that anymore. … He hasn't been the player that I expected. He's not headed for the Hall of Fame which I thought was a possibility four, five years ago.
MV: It's going to be an interesting spring battle in the outfield with Luke Scott moving back to the field and Felix Pie and Nolan Reimold competing for the fourth outfielder spot. Do you prefer Pie or Reimold, and do you think it would be wise to move Scott to make room for one or both of them?
RN: I do, but if you lose Scott, you're probably going to lose a few extra games this year. Well, if you factor in Scott's defense, maybe not. It's interesting because the Orioles seem to have put in a lot of chips to win this season so they're probably not going to trade one of their better hitters in Luke Scott. But thinking about 2012 and beyond, if I'm doing that, maybe I try to get Pie or Reimold more at-bats. The problem is that neither one of those guys is a kid anymore. They still have potential but it's not like they're young players you're going to build your team around.
MV: How much do Vladimir Guerrero and Derrek Lee have left to give? Vlad showed up in Sarasota with a Superman T-shirt, which is fitting considering the fans' expectations for the 36-year-old slugger.
RN: Guerrero was OK last year. I don't think he's a better hitter than Luke Scott. Fans are excited mainly because they have heard of Vladimir Guerrero, who used to be a great player. I think he's going to the Hall of Fame someday and it's kind of fun to have those guys, but he's no savior. Derrek Lee, he's coming off a rough year, so I wouldn't expect those guys to be great. But they will be upgrades over what the Orioles had last year. I'm not saying Guerrero will be better than Luke Scott, but he'll be better than whoever they had playing left field last year with Scott taking over in left.
I think they're going to be upgrades, but I have questioned the kind of money the Orioles had to spend to get those upgrades. I wouldn't have done it, but I do understand the organization wants to show the fans that it's time to turn things around, and if it shows up in attendance and TV ratings, then that's fantastic.
MV: When it comes to competing in the big, bad AL East, are the Orioles taking the right plan of action by piling up prospects -- especially pitchers -- and rounding out the roster with castaways and stopgap veterans? And do you see it working?
RN: Well, it can work. We saw it work with the Rays. It's just such a tall mountain to climb, trying to get 90-plus wins in that division. And the Rays have done it, amazingly. Can another team do it? Boy, I don't know. … The way to do it is to stockpile young players, especially pitchers, because it's impossible to buy good starting pitching on the open market unless you're the Yankees or the Red Sox. I really can't quibble with the overall plan that we've seen other than spending $15 million or whatever it was on Lee and Guerrero.
MV: Is there another way for them to do it in the AL East?
RN: Not really. You could be hyper-aggressive and try to trade Brian Roberts -- not that you can get anything [for] him at the moment -- but they could have a year or two ago and probably have gotten a pile of prospects for him. You always have to ask yourself about a veteran player, "When we're ready to win, will this guy still be there for us? Will this guy be a key component?" Because if the answer is "no," you usually might as well trade him.
That's really the only other option, to trade all your valuable players who won't be there when you're ready to win for prospects, and the Orioles really haven't done that and who could blame them? If I were a fan or if I worked there, I probably wouldn't want to see Brian Roberts going away, either.
MV: What's your season outlook for the Orioles? Will we actually see a winning season here in Baltimore?
RN: I am somewhat bullish on the Orioles. I think I said that they're going to win 82 games and some of that is due to the Showalter factor, which can't be quantified. If not for him, they would be around a 75- or 78-win team on paper even with the additions. And I'll give you a little bit of extra credit for Showalter. I was blown away by what that team did when he took over last season and I think there might be a little bit of a carryover there.

AnneMarie's Cupcakes
I am a stay at home wife that loves to bake and entertain. My husband owns and runs the family business and I am jumping on board and starting one of my own. I love being in the kitchen and interacting with the public. I am very focused as well as personable. My ultimate goal is to open my own cupcake shop. I am going to start out as a home-based business with the goal of expanding.
I am wanting to make cupcakes that are unique, sophisticated, and delicious. I lean more toward classic elegance rather than cute and perky. I want eating one of my cupcakes to be a decadent experience that will keep clients coming back for more.
My target market is anyone who likes cupcakes. I want to cater to weddings, birthdays, office parties, and other social events. I am also going to sell at local farmer's markets and bake sales. I want to be accessible, but distinguished. I want this logo to appeal to all of those audiences, but also work for a store front when the time comes.
The simpler the better. I want something that can be transfered to any medium. I want 3-4 colors, but that can also look good in black and white.
I would like a drawing of a cupcake included rather than a photo. The drawing can be abstract.
I know pink is popular with cupcakeries, but I am not a fan. I love lime green, yellow and purples.
Think classic but whimsical.

SAN LEANDRO — A man found by police in his SUV Monday night unresponsive and suffering from a gunshot wound was transported to an area hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery.
Neither the man's condition nor his identity was released.
No suspects were apprehended and there was no known motive, said San Leandro Police Lt. Rick DeCosta.
San Leandro police responding to an emergency call at 7:52 p.m. discovered a man in his 60s seated inside his white SUV that was stopped in the 200 block of West Broadmoor Blvd. The driver's side door window was shattered and the man, seated in the driver's seat, had a gunshot wound to his upper torso.
Officers then searched the area for any witnesses or evidence, and remained on scene early in the morning.
DeCosta said his department's Criminal Investigation Division is continuing to investigate the shooting.
"Whether or not this was a random act of violence is unknown at this time," DeCosta said.

Unexploded bomb
Early 1940s
This bomb was one of 2,620
which fell on Croydon
during World War Two.
It didn't explode
but was still a danger to local people.
Unexploded bombs, or 'UXB's',
still had to be made safe
by special UXB Teams.
In Croydon
5000 people were killed or injured
and 60,000 houses were damaged
during air raids in World War Two.
Geoffrey Dorman
This extract from Geoffrey's 1940 diary
is read by an actor:
"August 15.
I got on my bike
and rode to the Airfield.
So far as I could see
the main booking hall building
was on fire,
all the glass was out of the windows
and Rollasons shed
was burning furiously.
August 16.
The BBC said
there was no military damage.
If burning about 100 aircraft,
killing about 100 people
and hitting the main building
where all the RAF officers were
was not military damage,
then what is?
I feel we are not being told the truth
as also do many other people."
Living through the blitz
Croydon was bombed for the first time
on 8th June 1940
when bombs were dropped
in fields near Addington.
The first major raid took place on
August 15th 1940.
21 aircraft attacked Croydon Airport
for half an hour.
The raid killed 62 people, injured 174
and left 50 houses uninhabitable.
People called it Black Thursday.
Over the next 8 months
Croydon was targeted for bombing
because of its airports, factories
and position to the south of London.

Complete coverage:
LOUISVILLE -- The evacuations of people from Boulder County mountain communities continued Saturday and included more than 85 children and 14 adults who were airlifted after being stranded at the Cal-Wood Education Center near Jamestown.
The group of Fireside Elementary fifth-graders and 14 adults were airlifted by Chinook helicopters and flown to Boulder Municipal Airport, then bused to the Louisville elementary school at 845 W. Dahlia St. where parents, friends and family awaited.
The group was at Cal-Wood for an outdoor education session, but was stranded after floodwaters compromised the roads Wednesday night. The group had access to shelter, sanitation, heat and food, said Briggs Gamblin, spokesman for Boulder Valley School District.
Dustin Sagrillo, 34, who was one of the stranded parent volunteers, said he and a group of fathers spent hours shoveling trenches and clearing debris while other parents cooked food and lead activities with the children.
"The kids were having fun either way," he said.
As Trevor Wolf stood next to his parents on the lawn of Fireside, the 10-year-old closed his eyes, exhaled and gave a big smile.
"I'm so happy," Trevor said.
Trevor, whose "I went to Cal-Wood with my school" shirt was modified with a marker to say "I survived Cal-Wood with my school," said the experience was not scary and he and classmates were able to do some hiking in the rain.
The best part about the ordeal, he added, was riding in the dual-rotor Chinook to Boulder.
Paige Kirkman, whose daughter Marin was among the Cal-Wood evacuees, expressed joy that her daughter was home.
"I knew that they were in good hands," Kirkman said, noting the parent volunteers and staff members. "I just kept thinking that, 'They're in good hands; they're safe.'"
"Plus, the kids got a helicopter ride."
The National Guard so far has evacuated about 150 people out of Jamestown by helicopter and about 500 people were evacuated out of Lyons. The two towns have been cut off from help in the early days of the flood.
Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said that among those evacuated from Lyons on Friday were a young couple expecting a baby. The woman's water broke at 10:30 p.m. Friday night, shortly after crews were able to get her evacuated.
"There are some personal stories that came out of this that make this very, very rewarding," Pelle said of the evacuation efforts.
Responders on Friday were using at least 12 aircraft -- including Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters -- to retrieve people from the Jamestown area and to perform reconnaissance, said Dan Dallas, incident commander of the Rocky Mountain Area Type II Incident Management team dispatched to Boulder County.
About 230 people across Boulder County were unaccounted for -- meaning their family or friends have not been able to make contact, Pelle said.

Connecticut Masters in Archaeology on Campus Degrees | Archaeology Masters Programs
Masters in Archaeology degrees can equip students with the concentrated knowledge, research skills, and practical experience necessary to advance in an archeology career or move on to pursue a Ph.D. in Archaeology. Archaeology is an interdisciplinary academic field where students learn to analyze the human past through investigation of material remains. If you have ever been to a museum of natural history and seen ancient pottery or remnants of dinosaur bones, you can be sure an archaeologist was involved.
Masters in Archaeology On-Campus Programs Overview
Students who choose to pursue a Masters degree in Archaeology on-campus should have prerequisite knowledge, gained from undergraduate study in a related field or through extensive professional experience. Archaeology Masters Programs provide students with the rudiments of archaeological methods and theories. Typically coursework, an internship or fieldwork and a thesis are required, and you may be looking at 2 -5 years to complete your degree depending on the university and whether you attend full-time or part-time.
Some Masters programs may focus on a very specific area of archaeology, such as: historical archaeology, geoarchaeology, industrial archaeology, environmental archaeology and zooarchaeology.
Students may also be able to tailor their masters degree program in Archaeology. For example, if you are interested in cultural resource management (CRM) you might enroll in courses on project planning, mitigation and data management. If you are a history buff, or historical archaeologist, you might find coursework in recording architecture and site preservation more practical. Aspiring museum curators would focus on art conservation and restoration.
Why Choose an Archaeology Graduate School?
Studying on campus offers face-to-face interaction with classmates and professors, allowing
learners the opportunity to build their networks and benefit from group discussion. Potential perks include access to the University facilities, from libraries to laboratories to student services.
FUN FACT: Archeologists need a master's degree to advance beyond entry-level job positions.
How to Find a Campus-Based Archaeology Masters Program
GradSchools.com can help you find a graduate school for archaeology that has a masters program that aligns with your interests and future career aspirations. Search by location to determine what is available in the city, state or country you use as your filter. Some of the listings might include MA in Archaeology, MA in Applied Archaeology, or MA in Anthropology. Your next step would be to request info from the college or university; you can do this from the site.
Archaeology Masters Potential Coursework
Depending on the program you choose, a Masters in Archaeology curriculum might include learning excavation techniques, analyzing different materials, and methods of conservation and preservation. Fieldwork or a supervised internship is an important component of many Masters programs in Archaeology. These internships usually take place at approved sites in the public and private sectors, such as cultural resource management companies, government agencies, heritage sites, nonprofit organizations, or museums.
Students might also explore other disciplines from the humanities and social sciences such as geography, history, sociology, anthropology and languages. In fact, some programs do necessitate learning a foreign language.
In addition to lab and research methods, students might expect courses that may include:
- Faunal analysis
- Historical archaeology
- Art conservation
- Cultural resource management
- Laws and ethics
- Heritage preservation
- Ethnographic research methods
- Applied archaeology
- Geophysical survey
Masters Degree in Archaeology: Learn Transferrable Skills For Your Future Career
Both archaeologists and anthropologists share some important qualities that may be useful in the workplace. Archaeologists are investigators. They use analysis and critical thinking skills to draw conclusions based on their findings whether from an excavation site, a laboratory experiment or research. In addition, archaeologists have to communicate their findings, so many of them learn several languages and are strong writers.
If you plan to work as a curator or archivist, your analytical skills will also be put to use. Furthermore, you will need to have good computer skills so you can develop databases. These types of careers require someone who is personable and organized, but also possesses strong technical skills, as historical objects need to be preserved and analyzed.
FUN FACT: CRM (cultural resource management) firms identify, assess, and preserve archeological sites and ensure that developers and builders comply with regulations regarding archeological sites

Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods Market Inc. has filed a $3.1 million building permit application with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement to renovate its lone local store on Poplar Avenue in East Memphis.
The company announced plans last year to close its 25,000-square-foot store at 5022 Poplar and move into the adjacent space at 5014 Poplar, formerly home to Office Depot before that store moved down the street.
Whole Foods' new store will be roughly 40,000 square feet, with construction set to begin this year.
Smith Doyle Contractors Inc. is listed as the project's general contractor and GreenbergFarrow is listed as the architect.
Built in 1963, the building that houses Whole Foods sits on 6.1 acres along the north side of Poplar Avenue between Mendenhall and White Station roads. The Shelby County Assessor of Property's 2013 appraisal is $5.3 million.
The building's ownership is composed of Pearlco LP and B.W. and L.S. Cannon.

The countywide school board should begin public hearings in August as a first step toward considering the closings of a dozen schools in the 2014-2015 school year.
The board voted Tuesday, April 30, to begin the process.
Gordon Elementary School was added to the list of 11 announced by interim schools superintendent Dorsey Hopson last week that included three high schools – Northside, Carver and Westwood. Gordon had been considered for closing last year by the school board but was taken off the list by then-Memphis City Schools superintendent Kriner Cash because of the co-location of an Achievement School District school for Humes Middle School students at Gordon.
The state-run ASD school for the Humes students will move into Humes with the 2013-2014 school year.
In other action Tuesday, the board approved a $21.9 million contract with GCA of Knoxville to outsource school custodial services in the consolidated school system.
And school board members also gave the green light to a hybrid that outsources some transportation services while keeping a fleet of in-house buses. It amounts to a $9.5 million contract with Durham School Services, which would operate buses in the northwest and southwest parts of Memphis. The school district's bus fleet would operate at schools in the rest of Shelby County but with a route system that has been pared down in the coming schools merger.
Hopson told board members Tuesday that the hybrid model will also involve three start times for schools across the merged system – 7 a.m., 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. The board is to get details of what schools get what start times later this week.

When the legislature failed to extend the life of the Judicial Nominating Commission, it effectively ended merit-based selection of judges in Tennessee. It also left open the question about whether there is any mechanism to replace a Tennessee judge who steps down, retires or dies.
Voters will get to decide in November 2014 whether they want to amend the state Constitution to change the way judges are selected in Tennessee. The amendment would give the governor the right to appoint appellate court judges followed by confirmation of the legislature.
Some lawyers warn the legislature has left Tennessee without a mechanism to pick judges before voters go to the polls next year because the commission that is set to expire June 31 currently helps the governor select judges.

Robert Buckman, the chairman and CEO of Buckman Laboratories' holding company from 1978 to 2000, will receive an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from Rhodes College at the university's commencement May 11.
Buckman earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Purdue University in 1959 and a master's in business from the University of Chicago in 1961. He's been a member of the Rhodes College board of trustees and is a longtime Rhodes benefactor.
Buckman Laboratories was founded in 1945 in Memphis by Buckman's father, Dr. Stanley Buckman, and it has evolved into a global specialty chemical company. Robert Buckman assumed leadership of the company in 1978 and under his guidance, the company invested in expanding facilities worldwide and laid the groundwork for a computerized communications network to link all Buckman associate companies.

The Federal Reserve is standing by its extraordinary efforts to stimulate the economy. And it signaled that it could increase or decrease the pace of bond purchases depending on how the job market and inflation perform.
The Fed says after a two-day policy meeting that the job market has shown some improvement in recent months, on balance. But it also notes that unemployment remains high and government budget policies have begun to restrain economic growth.
In its statement, the Fed maintained its plan to keep short-term interest rates at record lows at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent from its current 7.6 percent. And it says it will continue to buy $85 billion a month in bonds to try to keep long-term borrowing costs down.
Spending on U.S. construction projects fell in March as the biggest drop in government projects in more than a decade overwhelmed strength in home building.
Construction spending fell 1.7 percent in March, compared with February, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. It marked the second decline in the past three months. January activity plunged a record 4 percent, which represented a downward revision from a previous estimate of a 2.1 percent decline.
Even with the recent weakness, construction activity was 4.8 percent higher in March than a year ago at a seasonally adjusted $856.7 billion.
For March, private residential construction rose 0.4 percent, the only major sector showing a gain. Government construction activity fell 4.1 percent, the biggest drop since March 2002, while private nonresidential building was down 1.5 percent.
The weakness in government activity occurred at all levels. Spending by state and local governments was down 4.2 percent while spending by the federal government on construction projects was down 1.7 percent. Economists are expecting federal activity to be reduced in coming months as different agencies cope with across-the-board spending cuts that went into effect on March 1.
The weakness in nonresidential activity reflected declines in spending on commercial projects such as shopping centers.
For all of 2012, construction spending increased 9.8 percent. That marked the first annual gain after five straight years of declines. Construction spending is still well below healthy levels although housing is helping to support building activity in the face of weakness in government projects.
A private survey shows U.S. companies added just 119,000 jobs in April, the fewest in seven months.
The report Wednesday from payroll processor ADP suggests that government spending cuts and higher taxes could be starting to weigh on the job market. And new requirements under President Barack Obama's health care law may be prompting some small and mid-size companies to hold back on hiring.
ADP also said that hiring in March was slower than first thought: the survey shows just 131,000 added, down from an initial estimate of 158,000.
The slowdown in April was broad-based. Manufacturers cut 10,000 jobs, while firms in the service sector added the fewest in seven months. Construction firms added 15,000 jobs.
The ADP report is derived from payroll data and tracks private employment each month. It has diverged at times from the government's more comprehensive monthly jobs report, which will be released Friday. In March, the government said employers added 88,000 jobs, much lower than ADP's figure.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc received between 9,000 and 10,000 requests for user data from various U.S. government entities in 2012's second half, involving 18,000 to 19,000 of its users' accounts, the world's largest social network said in a Friday blogpost.
The company said it released the information after reaching a deal about disclosures with U.S. national security authorities.
