She said animals will give you signs if they are too cold, including lifting up their paws and shivering. |
In current temperatures, pets should generally only be let out to go to the bathroom and then brought back inside, said West. |
Larger breed dogs with a good fur coat may be happy out for longer, but should always have access to shelter and be monitored closely by their owners. |
West said anyone who sees a pet left outside that appears to be unattended is encouraged to contact the RHS. |

For this, the administration has collaborated with a private firm which will provide six pads for just Rs 8 to the school girls. |
The Mohali administration on Thursday launched a sanitary napkin bank, first-of-its-kind initiative in the region, at its administrative complex in Sector 76 here. The scheme aims at providing subsidised sanitary pads to all district government schools’ female students who cannot afford them. |
Additional deputy commissioner Charandev Singh Mann said as per the directions of deputy commissioner Gurpreet Kaur Sapra, an awareness campaign was being run to sensitise the young girls studying in the schools regarding the use of sanitary pads during their menstrual cycles. He added that distribution of sanitary pad... |
The administration has also urged the residents to contribute by donating pads at a box set up at the district administration complex. |
Punjab women and child development minister Razia Sultana and education minister Aruna Chaudhary were also present during the event. |
CALGARY – Calgary firefighters made an unexpected rescue when they were battling a house fire in the city’s southwest. |
On Friday afternoon, a passerby called 911 to report smoking coming from a home. |
Firefighters arrived and started to fight the blaze when one firefighter came across a kitten just outside the side door. |
The kitten was given to a neighbour to hold, and then a second kitten was found under the side door step approximately an hour after the fire was out. |
But they turned out not to be pets from the unoccupied home — they were bobcat kittens that had wandered in from the wild. |
The kittens were taken to the Fish Creek Pet Hospital where they were cleaned, assessed for injuries and hydrated with plans to transfer them to the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. |

A private memorial service was held for Carrie Fisher on Thursday. |
Some of Carrie Fisher’s ashes were also buried with her mother, according to multiple accounts. |
Carrie Fisher battled bipolar disorder, depression and addiction in her life, battles that she was very public about. |
Fisher was diagnosed with bipolar II, which combines both manic and depressive symptoms at the same time, in her late 20s, she told USA Today, though she began experiencing symptoms when she was 14 or 15. In 2013, she told People Magazine that others should seek treatment. |
“The only lesson for me, or anybody, is that you have to get help. It’s not a neat illness. It doesn’t go away,” Fisher said. |

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- The ball may have dropped, but don't drop the ball on your student loan applications. If you plan to attend college in 2016, one of the first things you should do this year is fill out your FAFSA form. |
Why today? January 1 is the first day you can submit the nationwide college financial aid form -- and experts say the sooner you do it, the better. |
Students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to get any financial aid awards. You could miss out on scholarships or grant money if you wait. These include federal and state grants, as well as scholarships from your state and school -- all of which you won't have to pay back. |
The form also helps determine how much you can borrow from the government, which is key because federal loans are likely to come with lower interest rates. |
The application is long and a little painful, but well worth it and it's free. |
If you need a couple more reasons to apply right now, some states including Tennessee serve grants on a first-come-first serve basis until funds run out and there are multiple deadlines. |
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told CBS News he does not see any immediate threat against any of the 28 nations that make up the largest peacetime alliance in the world, despite Russian aggression in Eastern Ukraine and unannounced military exercises near member states' airspace. |
"We urge Russia not to...do these kinds of snap exercises. Every nation has the right to exercise its forces, also Russia, but they should do it in a more transparent and predictable way to avoid any misunderstandings," Secretary-General Stoltenberg to CBS News Chief White House correspondent Major Garrett. |
On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry ordered a "surprise combat readiness inspection" of its air forces. More than 12,000 servicemen and 250 aircraft are taking part in the exercises over Southern Russia. In recent months, the Kremlin has conducted several unannounced air defense exercises near NATO-member airspace ... |
NATO began a two-week military drill of its own Monday over the Arctic. The exercise, which has been planned for months, includes roughly 100 aircraft and 4000 military personnel from nine member nations including the US. |
Earlier Tuesday, Mr. Stoltenberg held bilateral talks with President Obama in the Oval Office. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the US is "closely monitoring" Russia's military drills. |
The U.S. has denounced the Kremlin's support of separatists in Eastern Ukraine and Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. Ukraine is not a NATO member, but the Secretary General said the alliance provides "political and practical support" to Ukraine's government. |
"My strong view is that every nation has the right to decide its own path," Mr. Stoltenberg said. "It's up to this nation and 28 allies to decide if NATO's going to enlarge and have a new member. Ukraine has announced that they will implement a reform program and then aim at applying for membership. We will assess an a... |

Is There A Need To Legislate RFID Limits? |
While radio frequency identification technology (RFID) may offer potential benefits, it also raises privacy fears. Despite these fears, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) argues in a recent report that these fears should not lead to legislative controls of RFID. Rather, the CEI believes that "prompt deployment ... |
RFID is moving along such that it is soon to be ready for prime time as a real alternative to bar codes (Uniform Product Codes — boxes of vertical bars and spaces). Most of us are readily familiar with bar codes on most consumer goods. RFID already is being used in the shipping and logistics industry, in transportation... |

The Redwood City Council will likely approve a contract Monday for an environmental impact report on a proposal to build a small city on 1,400 acres of salt ponds bordering San Francisco Bay. The project is so controversial that more than 100 elected officials and several environmental groups, led by Save the Bay, are ... |
That’s unlikely. Developer DMB Associates is determined to forge on — the project would be extremely lucrative — and council members have said they want a full analysis. DMB is footing the bill, so it’s not outrageous for Redwood City to proceed. But our question is: Why bother? |
The opposition from environmentalists is not just aesthetic. Concerns include the sea-level rising, liquefaction in the case of an earthquake and the viability of a controversial deal for a future water supply. We need housing, but this isn’t the place for it. |
Whether the ponds, owned by Cargill Salt, are legally part of the bay is subject to debate. To us, the technical dispute is beside the point. More than a century ago, before being converted to salt production, this area was marshlands teeming with life. It should be restored to that state, and if it has to sit idle for... |
DMB calls the project environmentally progressive because of its dense, walkable design and its proximity to transit and jobs. That would be a decent argument if it weren’t on former baylands. |
A 2009 Greenbelt Alliance report identified some 40,000 sites known as infill — like old strip malls and vacant lots along transit corridors — throughout the Bay Area that are ripe for development as “smart-growth” neighborhoods like this. But building on salt ponds brings to mind “fill” of a different kind. |
It’s hard to see how DMB can overcome all the hurdles ahead. It needs approval from 19 regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over the site. After the report is complete, the Redwood City Council and, most likely, residents will vote. If the project is approved despite all these concerns, it will face lawsuits. |
The report is on DMB’s dime, but controversies like this take a public toll in dollars, including staff time at public agencies, and in civic energy. The region would be better off if Redwood City just dropped it. |
Most small towns would jump at the chance to be featured on national television. |
But when producers of a popular ghost-hunting show wanted to film in Salem, New Jersey, local officials refused to give them permission. |
And one of the reasons they gave was that they did not want the area to become associated with the paranormal. |
They might have been worried that visitors would confuse the town with the more famous Salem, Massachusetts, site of the 17th-century Salem Witch Trials. |
Doug Hogate Jr, founder of the Jersey Unique Minds Paranormal Society, has long believed that the 19th-century Johnson Hall is haunted, according to Today's Sunbeam. |
So when researchers from The Biography Channel's show My Ghost Story contacted him asking if he knew any spooky places where they could film, he suggested the hall, which he says is home to a female ghost which haunts the third floor. |
Mr Hogate then contacted Salem County officials for permission to use the building, now home to the county's chamber of commerce. |
County freeholders initially indicated that they would grant permission, according to Mr Hogate, but on Tuesday they told him they had changed their mind - just one day before he was due to fly to Los Angeles to record his commentary for the show. |
County administrator Evern Ford told Today's Sunbeam that the agreement fell through because officials were unable to resolve their doubts before the show producers' deadline. |
He added that freeholders were worried that the county might end up being portrayed in a negative light. |
'Concerns were raised of, "Is this something we want to be known for? Does Salem County want to be known for having ghosts?"', he said. |
Mr Hogate said these fears were unfounded, and argued that the show would have helped to draw visitors to the area. |
'It would have cost nothing to the county to have their building on national TV,' he said. |
The New Jersey town is one of more than 30 communities across the U.S. named Salem. |
Salem, Massachusetts, one of the most famous, has embraced its supernatural reputation which dates back to the notorious witch trials of 1692. |
CNN’s Brianna Keilar speaks to the owner of Metro Shooting Supplies about the rise in gun sales after the shooting death of unarmed teen Michael Brown. Owner Steven King says he is also seeing a rise in gun sales as the grand jury prepares to make a decision on whether to indict Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting. |
People are scared they are afraid! I think this is a black community problem more than a cop problem. |

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Mr. Wessler, I’m sorry, one quick question. Focusing on the property-based approach, putting aside reasonable expectation for just a moment, what do we know about what state law would say about this information? So say — say a thief broke into T-Mobile, stole this information and sought to make economi... |
MR. WESSLER: — sort of tort analog to what we have here. But we — we placed the source of the property right here in federal law, not state law. |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: No, I understand 222. I’ve got that argument. I’m just wondering have you — have state courts developed this at all? |
MR. WESSLER: — but not directly here. |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: Mr. Dreeben, I’d like to — I’d like to drill down on that and return to Justice Kagan’s question. You know, the facts here wind up looking a lot like Jones. One thing Jones taught us is — and reminded us, really, is that the property-based approach to privacy also has to be considered, not just the rea... |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: But let’s say that, in fact, I’ve got positive law that indicates it is a property right. Would you there, therefore, agree that that’s a search of my paper and effect? |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: But why not? |
MR. DREEBEN: Because it’s not your paper or your effect. |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: If property law says it is. |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: Well, that’s fighting the hypothetical, counsel. And I know I — I didn’t like hypotheticals, too, when I was a lawyer sometimes, but I’m asking you to stick with my hypothetical. |
MR. DREEBEN: Justice Gorsuch, I think that the problem with the hypothetical is that it creates a property interest out of transfers of information. |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: Please — please, could you stick with my hypothetical and then you can tell me why it’s wrong. |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: Under my hypothetical, you have a property right in this information. Would it be a search of my paper and effect? Yes or no. |
MR. DREEBEN: I am not sure. And the reason that I am not sure is there has never been a property right recognized in information that’s conveyed to a business of this character. If we were talking about e-mail, as Your Honor’s opinion in Ackerman sought to analogize to property, I think we would have a more complex dis... |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: You’re not here to deny that there might be a property interest and, therefore, a search? |
JUSTICE GORSUCH: In my — in my hypothetical, if there were a property interest, you’re not here to deny that that would be a search of my paper and effect? |
MR. DREEBEN: I’m not here to concede it either. |
MR. DREEBEN: The reason that I can’t concede it is it’s a property right that resembles no property right that’s existed. |
1. The “property” label can sometimes be misleading. |
Gorsuch’s questions were pitched in terms of a “property right,” which is understandable. Some of the paradigm cases at the Founding involved property; the court’s precedents in Jones and Jardines talk about property. But figuring out what technically makes something a “property right” as opposed to a different kind of... |
As we noted in our article, at the Founding, Fourth Amendment protection was keyed off of positive law rights. And these were not always property law in the strict sense — for instance, the printers arrested in the paradigm case of Wilkes v. Wood sued not just for a property violation, but also for false imprisonment. ... |
