Bartlesville dog strangled, dies from heat stroke |

Updated: 6/14 9:19 am Published: 6/13 11:40 pm |
A combination of the near triple digit weather, a chain, and a railing, lead to a Bartlesville dog’s death. |
In happened on Monday at South Penn and SE Adams Blvd. The owner of the home does not live there but is currently remodeling it and he keeps his three dogs there. |
One of the dogs is not on a leash and roams freely in the yard, the other is in a cage, and the third was tied to a long chain. |
On Monday a neighbor saw that the dog on the chain had severely tied himself up in between the railing and knotted up his chain so tightly he could not get to his water bowl. |
“I imagine it struggled to get undone and made him get hotter in this extremely hot weather because he was probably panicking,” said Bartlesville Animal Control Officer Rita Harvey. |
The officers arrived around 4:00 in the afternoon and the dog was barely alive. |
“There was nothing we could do at that point,” said Officer Harvey. |
They untied him and covered him up on the porch. The owner still was not home so they had to leave him a note. |
“Neighbors have called us many times before about these three dogs being out here in the heat, but e very time we come by we can see they are well fed, and have water and shade to lie under when it is this hot outside,” said Officer Harvey. |
The owner will not face any animal cruelty charges. |
Officer Harvey said has been with Animal Control for 13 years and said she deals with the same issue every summer. She recommends if you have to leave your dogs outside in this hot weather you provide them with plenty of water. Put the water in large heavy buckets so they will not tip over. Also there needs to be a ... |

These people didn't even live at the house. Why did they even have the dogs if they didn't want to be around them? They should be charged with animal cruelty resulting in death. We need stricter laws protecting animals. I don't understand why they weren't charged. That dog didn't chain himself up and there was no one a... |

Whoever tied that poor animal like that should be charged with animal cruelty. Either that OR tie them up out in the triple digit heat without water :-p |

The Biggest Lies Toxic Chemical Companies Tell Us |
For related articles and more information, please visit OCA's Health Issues page, Appetite For a Change page, and our Politics and Democracy page. |
How far will companies go to ensure they continue making money on products that make you sick? Answer: No extreme is too extreme, including bold-faced lying, if it means keeping the bucks rolling in. |
This article will cover an assortment of examples of how you're being deceived by four of the largest industries the chemical, biotech, pharmaceutical, and processed food industry. |
Lies, Damn Lies! |
One of the biggest lies that toxic chemical companies have told so far includes the heart-wrenching stories of babies dying agonizing deaths in fires. Throwing integrity out the window, the company hired professional experts to lie as they were not under oath. The babies didn't actually die―in fact, they never even ex... |
The Chicago Tribune learned this recently when it wanted to know more about a 7-week-old baby who a burn doctor testified as having died in agony because she was on a pillow that lacked flame retardantsi. Lo and behold, the entire story was a fabrication, from beginning to end. It turns out other tiny patients the doc... |
According to the Chicago Tribune: |
"... [Dr. David] Heimbach's passionate testimony about the baby's death made the long-term health concerns about flame retardants voiced by doctors, environmentalists and even firefighters sound abstract and petty. But there was a problem with his testimony: It wasn't true. |
Records show there was no dangerous pillow or candle fire. The baby he described didn't exist. Neither did the 9-week-old patient who Heimbach told California legislators died in a candle fire in 2009. Nor did the 6-week-old patient who he told Alaska lawmakers was fatally burned in her crib in 2010. |
Heimbach is not just a prominent burn doctor. He is a star witness for the manufacturers of flame retardants. His testimony, the Tribune found, is part of a decades-long campaign of deception that has loaded the furniture and electronics in American homes with pounds of toxic chemicals linked to cancer, neurologic... |
These powerful industries distorted science in ways that overstated the benefits of the chemicals, created a phony consumer watchdog group that stoked the public's fear of fire and helped organize and steer an association of top fire officials that spent more than a decade campaigning for their cause..." |

look up any word, like dutch rudder: |
1. curried dick |
The result of a failed rape. The would-be rapist is enticed into oral sex, at which point the victim promptly severs the penis, with her (or his, whatever) teeth. Thus bitten the fuck off, the penis is stewed with curry, and assorted vegetables of your choosing. Sharing with the attacker is optional, but hilarious. |
Touch me again and it'll be curried dick for supper. |

Heidi Klum & Seal: What is it about celebs and marriage? |
Written by: on Monday, October 31st, 2011 |
Seal and Heidi Klum Separating |
Celebrity marriages, like the one of Heidi Klum and Seal, seem always destined for divorce court. |
I think I’ve always followed Heidi Klum more closely than other celebs because we delivered our first children just hours apart at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York (yes, the same hospital that delivered Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s baby girl, Blue Ivy…but I definitely did not have the $1.3 million suite!). Maybe I felt a slight ... |
Kim and Kourtney Kardashian |
Kim Kardashian, with sister Kourtney, is super successful...but not in love! |
So I was shocked, and a bit saddened, by the recent news of their separation and impending divorce. I guess celeb marriages (J.Lo, Mark Anthony; Kim Kardsahsian, Kris Humphries; and many, many more) are destined to be broken off. Too much money? Too much travel? Too many other priorities? |
Marriage book by Jenna McCarthy |
This book tells it like it is when it comes to relationships! |
Why is it that so many celebrities can’t keep a marriage together? There are ups and downs and there are times when you really hate your significant other and wish you were never together. But then times DO get better as you work through the issues. But celebrities—who are used to getting their way at a moment’s notice... |
Now, I’m definitely no marriage or relationship counselor, but my advice to celebrities is know that there will be hard times. The whole point of a relationship, though, you’ve got to work through the issues and move on!! |
Anyone in a relationship (celebs included), though, should read the book: If It Was Easy, They’d Call the Whole Damn Thing a Honeymoon by Jenna McCarthy. The name of the book (about relationships and marriage) kind of says it all. It’s simply one of the funniest—and most truthful—books about relationships…and it’s full... |

Population metagenomics reveals the reduced metabolic capacities of a marine nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium that lacks many of the signature features of typical cyanobacteria. |
Research highlight |
In life, it's said that few things are certain except death and taxes. Similarly, in biology, while there are exceptions to many 'rules', there do seem to be a few certainties that have stood the test of time. One of these is the general organization and structure of the photosynthetic apparatus in chlorophyll-containi... |
The story begins with molecular surveys of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms in ocean surface waters. Biological nitrogen fixation is carried out only by certain species of bacteria (for example, cyanobacteria and rhizobia) and archaea (for example, some methanogens), and represents a crucial component of the global nitro... |
The first hurdle that Tripp et al. [1] had to overcome is a common one in microbial ecology: although these nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria are abundant and widely distributed, no one has yet succeeded in culturing them so far, despite repeated attempts [5]. One way around this problem is to use novel cultivation methods... |
Instead of cultivation, Tripp et al. implemented a more direct approach to sequence their genomes. First, Zehr's group collected a seawater sample from the Hawaii Ocean time series station ALOHA that was fortuitously enriched in one type of nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria (called UCYN-A). This sample was analyzed via flo... |
Although it was not possible to assemble a complete genome for UCYN-A initially, the results obtained from large contigs were surprising. These initial data suggested that UCYN-A was not a typical nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium. As predicted, the entire nitrogenase operon was present, verifying that these bacteria have... |
thumbnailFigure 1. Missing metabolic pathways revealed by the complete genome sequence of the uncultivated marine nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium UCYN-A. (a) Key metabolic pathways typically found in nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. (b) Pathways found, as evidenced by gene content, in UCYN-A. Shaded-out areas with a red '... |
Improvements in the length of reads for pyrosequencing, paired-end assembly strategies, and gap closure by contig pooling and PCR allowed Tripp et al. [1] to assemble the complete UCYN-A genome. A full genome assembly was also facilitated by the fact that populations of UCYN-A, like those of the cyanobacterium Crocosph... |
