Pets for Life Points the Way to Better Animal Health and Reduced Shelter Overpopulation through Community Outreach The Humane Society of the United States today released the report “Pets for Life – A New Community Understanding.” This report explains that increasing access and removing cost barriers to animal care and |
veterinary services for pet owners in underserved areas will improve community animal health and reduce shelter overpopulation. The report uses data gathered from events organized by The HSUS Pets for Life team and local partners to provide free and low-cost pet wellness and spay/neuter services for people in underserv... |
PFL is a program of The HSUS that employs innovative strategies and fresh approaches to extend the reach of animal services, resources, and information for the sake of building humane communities. In difficult economic times, families can have trouble providing for the health and welfare of pets. With two-thirds of |
American families having pets and nearly one in every six Americans living at or below poverty level, it’s more important than ever to reach out to those in need with workable answers. Among the key findings in the report: More than half, 53 percent, of the owners of unaltered pets |
surveyed had never seen a veterinarian before. There is a growing gap between underserved pet owners and veterinary service providers and this has severe consequences for companion animal overpopulation and overall health. The vast majority, 87 percent, of attendees at Pets for Life events had never contacted their loc... |

It is critical for leaders in the animal welfare field to recognize the unmet needs in their communities and the impact on companion animal health and overpopulation. Meeting people in the neighborhoods where they live, and marketing services strategically using ca... |
community organizing techniques, is much more effective than traditional advertising in reaching owners of unaltered pets in underserved communities. Adequate follow-up is critical to build relationships and ensure that animal veterinary needs are met. “Pets are one of the greatest common denominators across social, ec... |
a very important part of most people’s lives,” said Amanda Arrington, associate director for Pets for Life. “Recognizing that so many people in underserved communities are struggling to care for their pets with little to no basic health care and wellness resources available is heart-breaking. The animal welfare, veteri... |
related fields must take this as a call to action and work together to ensure that all pet owners have the information, resources, and services they need.” The data used in the report were taken from service records and surveys conducted at 16 outreach events in 11 markets held since |
What is the deal with accents? Some news organizations and networks noticeably have begun to accent the names of individuals, places and things that carry a Spanish spelling. Some don’t. ESPN is almost meticulous about it. PBS not so much. The New York Times does it; other newspapers – of |
all news organizations that should – do not. How Spanish names and words began to lose their accents has itself been lost in time. Most of the loss, of course, has to do with the disrespect for the language fueled by anti-Spanish sentiment leading up to and after the U.S.-Mexican |
and U.S.-Spanish wars. As important was the market of the time. Now, amid the new demography of the country, seeing a Spanish name in print or on a television screen with an accent stands out as much as seeing the same name the very next day without one. |
Jump to:Page Content Graduate Degree: MIT, Department of Urban Studies and Planning The satellite cities can also gain by cooperating rather than competing for economic development. Compared to large cities like Boston, the GBSCs have few resources to devote towards |
attracting new employers. Since they offer very similar environments to prospective businesses, they are frequently competing with one another by giving away tax incentives. The winning city often gains very little. If GBSCs work together they could market themselves as |
a group to industry groups. Sharing their resources would allow them to design more sophisticated sales strategies and promote a more unified image of the advantages of the region’s medium-sized cities. GBSCs can also turn the fact that they have |
been abandoned by industry into an advantage. The GBSCs are relatively clean and quiet urban environments. They can market this advantage by creating "Green" campaigns. The cities could work together to tailor environmental plans that would generate energy and cost |
savings for the cities and their residents. These plans could be created by officials from each city working with students studying environmental planning at local universities. Greater Boston is an increasingly expensive area to live and do business. The danger |
is that the region will suffer as firms seek less expensive business environments. Fortunately there is an alternative vision. The recent recovery of inner-city neighborhoods in places like Boston, Cambridge and Somerville demonstrates that there is demand for dense urban |
living – demand that far exceeds the available supply. Medium-sized older historic cities offer vital attractive living environments to families and new dense nodes of activity to growing businesses. In order to achieve this vision, local leaders from GBSCs must |

Dear Helen: I cannot find tuberous roots or plants of Peruvian lily (Alstroemeria), a flower I used to grow. J.C. Dear J.C.: Packages of roots for Alstroemeria aurea (A. aurantiaca), |
which has beautiful yellow or orange flowers, used to be commonly available in late winter and early spring. This is not so currently and I'm not sure why. Either the |
plants have lost popularity and gone out of fashion, or their bad habits have caught up with them. Once very well established, the roots become an aggressively travelling weed from |
hell, sprouting amid desirable plants. It is almost impossible to eradicate. Ask one who knows. Dwarf hybrids that bloom in pinks, purples and white are sometimes available as potted plants |
in late spring, but even these are seen far less frequently. I did track down a grower still producing these plants, but they grow mainly to supply Costco and Safeway |
stores, with any leftovers distributed to garden centres that order them. They'll appear about late May. Alstroemerias can be grown from seed. Chiltern Seeds offers a good selection, but choose |
dwarf species or Ligtu Hybrids. Avoid the devil weed. Dear Helen: Early last spring we sowed parsnip seeds, which germinated well but the roots never developed to any usable size. |
We left them in the ground over the winter. They are sprouting now, and we wonder whether they can be left to develop worthwhile roots this summer. Dear J.&G.C.: The |
parsnip plants that have wintered in the garden will put their energies this growing season into producing a flower stem and setting seed. The roots will not be usable for |
eating. Hopefully, you'll have better luck with parsnips this year. Parsnips and beets are two root vegetables that seem to present chronic problems for home gardeners, with the issue most |
often being failure of the roots to size up properly. Changing soil acidity levels and variety choice are worth looking at. In most of our area, treating the soil with |
lime is helpful for both beet and parsnip development. Parsnips grow best in a soil that is slightly acid to slightly alkaline, with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. |
Left to their own devices, our garden soils become more acidic as alkaline elements wash away in winter rains. In my current garden, I need to apply at least a |
light dusting of Dolopril to my plots before seeding to get decent growth in beets, parsnips and spinach. Parsnips don't need a rich soil, and often grow best in plots |
that were fertilized and plumped with compost for the crop grown previously in the site. Thinning the plants early helps. Gladiator is the variety that consistently grows the best for |
me. The flavour is at its best after frosts in the fall. Eaglecrest meeting. The Eaglecrest Garden Club will meet at 7: 30 tonight at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre. |

Syphilis and Lymphogranuloma Venereum: Resurgent Sexually Transmitted Infections in the UK: 2009 report Health Protection Agency Epidemics of infectious syphilis and Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) are continuing especially among men who have sex with men (MSM) who are known to be HIV infected. 3762 diagnoses of infecti... |
2007, more than in any other year since 1950. 849 cases of LGV were diagnosed between 2003 and 2008, the majority of whom had symptoms of proctitis (rectal pain, discharge, bloody stools and constipation). MSM account for 73% of infectious syphilis and 99% of LGV cases. HIV co-infection is common |
in those diagnosed with LGV (74%) and syphilis (27%) reflecting the close relationships between the epidemics. The increased number of syphilis cases in women of reproductive age has resulted in an increase in cases of congenital infection. Last reviewed: 30 April 2010 |
One of the main morphological differences between men and women is the greater amount of fat that women carry; this softens the outline of the muscles, more or less erases the osseous indicators, and rounds out the surfaces while creating characteristic folds and grooves. Fat in normal women represents between 18% and ... |
represents only 10% to 15%. The reason for this difference is that women at some point in their lives may nourish a fetus and then a baby from their own reserves, so women have to stock energy in the form of fat in anticipation of future pregnancies (and must stock even more energy during the last two trimesters of pre... |
For various reasons, different fat distributions occur in women according to climate. In hot countries, the fat is localized on the buttocks (black Africans), on the hips (Mediterraneans), and around the navel (certain Asians). This distribution avoids covering the woman with a hot coat of fat that would be difficult t... |
cold countries, the distribution of fat is more uniform, which provides for better protection during rigorous winters. However the fat is distributed, its main function is for the survival of the species as it provides for survival of the woman and her offspring during times of scarcity.
