The researchers were able to "hide" a small copper cylinder from a microwave beam, essentially by deflecting the beam and having it meet on the other side of the object.
Like light waves and radar waves, microwaves bounce off of objects and make them visible — in the case of light waves to the naked eye, and in the case of microwaves or radar waves to other detectors.
Researchers David Schurig and David Smith of Duke University used a type of laboratory-made material called metamaterial — in this case made of copper wires patterned onto sheets of fiberglass composite — to make the cloak.
The device, composed of concentric circles of the metamaterial surrounding the copper cylinder, channels the microwaves around the cylinder rather than reflecting them.
"The waves' movement is similar to river water flowing around a smooth rock," Schurig said in a press release from the university.
The work, which will appear in Friday's edition of the journal Science, was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The military is interested in the work because of the possibility of hiding planes from radar, according to the Associated Press. Currently available stealth technology reduces the size of the plane visible to radar, making it difficult to track — but not entirely invisible.
The new research also may be a first step toward a device that could actually hide objects from visible light, but the researchers say they are not yet sure when or if that will become possible.
Conceptually, it would be very possible to adapt the technology to visible light, Schurig told the AP. But, he added, from an engineering standpoint it would be difficult.
The cloak must be specifically configured for a particular bandwidth of radiation. Visible light is made up of many different wavelengths, all of which are much smaller than the wavelength of microwaves.
So to make an object disappear from sight, a cloak would have to interact with all of the wavelengths, or colors, at once, Smith said in the press statement. That technology would require more intricate and tiny metamaterials than those that exist now, he said.
Researcher Natalia Litchinitser of the University of Michigan department of electrical engineering told the AP that the work appeared to be the first experimental demonstration of cloaking based on metamaterials.
"Although the invisibility reported in this paper is not perfect, this work provides a proof-of-principle demonstration of the possibility," she said.

IT SEEMS governments are finally coming around to the idea that virtual currencies are here to stay. Backed by a business community eager to utilise innovations like Bitcoin, California and New York are quietly considering ways to regulate the trading of these currencies.
Without this regulation, Bitcoin will never gain full traction as a viable and accepted currency. Unfortunately for those proposing the currency as the payment mechanism of choice on the internet, Bitcoin is never far from media controversy.
Pick any month and you'll find stories of using infected computers to "mine" Bitcoin, selling weapons, drugs and other illegal merchandise for Bitcoin, scamming Bitcoin customers, or just stealing Bitcoin.
And so it was that this week brought news of the arrest of Charlie Shrem, a prominent Bitcoin advocate and CEO of the Bitcoin company BitInstant. Shrem and another man Robert Faiella are charged with money-laundering, operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business and failing to file a suspicious activity report.
The charges relate to Faiella's Bitcoin business he had been operating on the dark web marketplace the Silk Road under the name BTCKing. Faiella would sell Bitcoin which were procured by Shrem through BitInstant despite both knowing that the currency was used to purchase drugs and other contraband on the Silk Road.
Interestingly, the federal regulations that were used to charge Shrem were only put in place last year and for some, it is the lack of overall regulation that is inhibiting the use of Bitcoin for legitimate purposes and consequently it is the absence of regulation that is making it a favourite currency of the underworld.
Now two states in the US, California and New York, are moving to put in place regulations that will, they hope, bring some normalcy to virtual currencies and allow companies to incorporate them safely into their products.
The New York Department of Financial Services yesterday started public hearings about virtual currencies that will include the discussion of the potential for the issuing of a "BitLicense" for businesses wanting to use a virtual currency.
The hearings will feature testimony from Bitcoin venture capitalists, law enforcement, Bitcoin companies and the academics Susan Athey, Professor of Economics at Stanford University and Ed Felten, Professor of Computer Science and Public Affairs at Princeton University.
Possibly the biggest irony however is the fact that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are also presenting. In 2012, the Winklevoss twins led an investment round that resulted in US$1.5 million in seed funding for BitInstant, Shrem's company.
At the same time that New York is holding public hearings, financial regulators in California are taking a more discrete approach in privately consulting with lawyers and compliance experts as to whether companies transmitting Bitcoin require a license from the Department of Business Oversight and what other regulations need to be put in place for virtual currencies.
Commentary from the first panel in New York yesterday suggests that nothing particularly surprising will eventuate from the discussions. All of the commentators including the Winklevoss brothers have agreed that there needs to be some, but not too much, regulation.
The US is not alone in considering regulating virtual currencies. Most governments are delaying the issue by just staying clear of any decisions and warning financial institutions of the risks associated with currencies like Bitcoin as a potential money laundering device.
The Swedish bank SEB AB has this week been reported as rejecting requests from customers to set up foreign exchange accounts to manage Bitcoin.
Amongst those calling for regulation of Bitcoin, Georges Ugeux has claimed that Bitcoin is essentially a Ponzi scheme that only works if buyers continue to be willing to believe that it has intrinsic value.
Of course, Bitcoin has no economic, social or financial value and so if people decided to sell one day, the theory is that the entire Bitcoin market would collapse. Uguex believes that the price of Bitcoin is being manipulated by those with an interest in preserving its value and because of the lack of regulation, there is no one that is interested in investigating this possible manipulation.
This is a view shared in part by the US Treasury secretary Jack Lew and Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan. At the World Economic Forum last week, Jamie Dimon warned that Bitcoin could be used to fund terrorism and that regulation would essentially shut it down. Lew commented that having talked to Jamie Dimon, "he and I both share a certain incredulity about the whole phenomenon".
Bitcoin needs to be regulated by governments to realise its potential as being a more efficient means of conducting Internet commerce. But this regulation will come at the risk of severely dampening the enthusiasm behind virtual currencies in general. For Bitcoin it remains a question of damned if you do and damned if you don't.


The Dutch ecologist party, Groen Links, has asked parliament this Saturday to appoint a commission to investigate payment of taxes on dividends by multinational oil company Shell. According to newspaper Trouw, company has since 2005 avoiding this rate "with permission of Dutch Treasury, through Jersey, island of channel of La Mancha [a dependence British Crown]". During those years, "Shell has distributed among its shareholders about 45 billion euros, of which 7 billion should have been entered in coffers of state." Shell claims that it has not violated tax rules.
In a statement posted on its website, Marjan van Loon, president and director of Shell in Netherlands, describes rotational information as biased. "I'm astonished," he says. "The fact that our headquarters is in Nerlands and we have two types of actions is very profitable for Treasury (…) The Dutch dividend tax, paid by beneficiary, does not exist in United Kingdom. When both branches of company, British and Dutch merged, a legal formula was sought to prevent British shareholders from being obliged to pay rates in force under Dutch law (…) We have always been transparent in our annual report, "he adds in note.
This Saturday, Jesse Klaver, leader of Groen Links has qualified tax agreement that differentiates Shell shareholders from "political cronyism." "It gives impression that tax authority is collaborating to facilitate a corporate merger. It's unheard of, "he said. He hopes to declare before investigating commission "all state secretaries of finance named since 2005, and all those responsible for Shell". The fact that this type of investigation ends up being held behind closed doors does not concern him. "We talk about political responsibility," he says. The Democrat Party and Christen Unie, a Protestant group, members of current center-right coalition, have asked Ministry of Finance to clarify tax-sanctioned agreements over past 15 years. They want to know if y suited to rules.
The oil company was born in 1907 from alliance between British Shell Transport Trading and Dutch Royal Dutch Petroleum. It happened to be called Royal Dutch Shell after merger of 2005. Van Loon alludes in his note to two groups of shareholders: A, Dutch, and B, British. The multinational is one of main defenders of abolition of tax on dividends, fixed today by 15%. This payment has been debated in Dutch parliament repeatedly, and last April, Mark Rutte, Liberal prime minister, was in a hurry to overcome a motion of censure promoted by this reason. With 67 votes in favor and 76 against, Rutte was accused of not having properly informed House about government's alleged plans, allegedly analysed with business world, and aimed at suppressing tax.

Electronic Devices: How Black Lights Work
Black lights work like traditional light bulbs, using a few unique materials to create their eerie violet glow.
The black lights that were once only common in dorm rooms and haunted houses are now found everywhere. Popular forensic television shows depict investigators employing them at crime scenes. Antique appraisers use them to spot fakes. At the theme park, they show invisible admission hand stamps. In short, black lights have gone from groovy to useful in our society. Still, almost no one has a clue about how they work. They wonder if they could paint their own lights black to achieve the same glow-in-the-dark effect. As for why they make things glow, people do not have the slightest idea. For the curious, here is an explanation of the science behind the black light.
The way a black light works is very similar to a regular fluorescent tube light. In the basic fluorescent lamp, electricity is channeled through a tube filled with inert gas and a small amount of mercury to produce light. The mercury is charged by the electricity, causing it to release photons of light. Because the majority of this light is invisible UV light, a molecular change must take place in order for the lamp to emit sufficient light. To accomplish this, the outer tube is coated with phosphorus. When the UV light hits the phosphorus, it heats us in reaction. Upon cooling, it releases a photon of visible light.
What makes a black tube light different from a fluorescent tube light is its coating. It is designed to absorb the seriously dangerous UV-B and UV-C rays, allowing only the relatively safe UV-A light to escape. In a black incandescent bulb, the coating filters light that the filament creates, letting UV-A rays as well as a bit of visible light escape. Fluorescent black lights are considered the more powerful of the two because of the amount of light produced within the tube. This allows for the creation of more emitted UV-A light, which is responsible for the black light "glow."
Ultraviolet waves from black lights react with the phosphorus in their coatings and the environment. When UV light touches phosphorus, visible light is created. The environment is full of naturally occurring phosphorus: it is in our teeth, nails, and body fluids just to name a few. Although every object containing phosphorus will emit light when lit by a black light, the color of the object dictates how bright it will glow. For instance, black clothing absorbs every color of visible light cast on it, so UV-A rays have little effect on them. On the other hand, white clothes are already bright because they refract every color of visible light. When UV-A rays hit white, it reflects ultraviolet rays converted to visible light in addition to the usual reflected light.
Where They Work
As mentioned above, the body has a heavy supply of phosphorus. In addition, manmade phosphorus is present in all kinds of things. You will find it in laundry detergent, television screens, and highlighter ink. It is useful in searching crime scenes because it makes semen, urine, and other body fluids glow under a black light. In addition, a phosphorus-loaded dust is often sprinkled by investigators to reveal fingerprints. Phosphorus is used for security in any number of situations. For instance, modern paper money has a strip treated with the chemical so that frauds can be detected easily. Antiques can be distinguished from fakes under black light because only modern paint contains phosphorus. None of these methods exposes light operators to serious risk because of the minimal amount of UV rays emitted. However, it is important to understand the potential dangers of handling black lights.
There are grades of black lights far more powerful than the kind available in novelty shops. These bulbs release high levels of UV-A for varying purposes. One example is found in lab equipment sterilizers, where substantial amounts of ultraviolet rays are released from a black light to destroy germs. Professional rock hunters also use a specialized light that reveals certain valuable phosphorous-rich stones. Black lights of this strength release far more UV-A rays than one can healthily be exposed to. While this form of light is the least infamous of the ultraviolet family, it has been linked to immune system suppression, toughening of the skin, and even cataract development. Even those who use recreation grade black lights should take special precautions. If you are going to be under these lights for a prolonged time, wear protective glasses. Better yet, never point a black light at people, using them instead to enhance phosphorescent displays. Although UV-A rays are too short to see, they can potentially be as harmful as a day of unprotected sunbathing.
The black light is an interesting and highly adaptable tool. When used respectfully, it can do far more than make a retro wall hanging glow. Keep this in mind the next time you write a note with an invisible black light pen or have your repairman find a ventilation leak by injecting phosphorus ink into the system. The "magic" you witness is actually the result of a series of molecular reactions. Those creepy purple bulbs that most people think are useless help prevent fraud, avert illness, and solve crimes.

Andrew Gibson is Research Professor of Modern Literature and Theory. He was recently elected to the Comité de Séléction of the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris, and reappointed to its Conseil Scientifique for a further three years. The Collège was founded in 1983, by Jacques Derrida among others, and has been much associated with names that include Jean-François Lyotard and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. Current directors include Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou and Barbara Cassin. In 2008 Gibson was Carole and Gordon Segal Professor of Irish Literature at Northwestern University in Evanston, Chicago where, among others, Richard Ellmann taught from 1951 to 1968, establishing a tradition in the study of Irish literature. He has served as a Research Projects Assessor for the Academy of Finland. From 2003 to 2005, he was a Leverhulme Research Fellow.
Gibson is a permanent advisory editor to the James Joyce Quarterly and a former Trustee of the International James Joyce Foundation. He was recently appointed Associate Member of the Beckett International Foundation at the University of Reading. He has served as a member of the editorial board of the Anglo-French journal in Beckett scholarship set up at the Université de Paris VII to build bridges between French and Anglophone Beckett Studies, Limit(e) Beckett. He is also a member of the editorial board of Textuel (Université de Paris VII), Symbolism: An International Annual of Critical Aesthetics, Critical Zone and Miscelánea (University of Zaragoza).
Prof. Gibson is Founder/Organizer of the London University Seminar for Research into Joyce's Ulysses, and co-Founder/co-Organizer of the London University Finnegans Wake Research Seminar. He is also a member of the Advisory Board for Londonicity, the first annual London Studies conference; and of the Advisory Board of the British Network for Modern Textual Studies. He has been the recipient of three British Academy Small Research Grants.
In June 2001 and 2002, he was Visiting Professor at the Scandinavian Summer School of Literature and Theory. From July to October 2002, he was Visiting Professor at the University of Tokyo, Japan's premier university. In March 2003, he was Visiting Scholar at Texas (A&M) University. In 2001-3, he served as Visiting Professor at the Nordic Universities Summer School.
Andrew Gibson has also written five novels and a collection of stories for children, published by Faber. By invitation, he gives creative workshops and talks on writing for children at schools. Please contact Faber and Faber, 3 Queen Square, London WC1; or Gibson's agents: Peters, Fraser and Dunlop, The Chambers, Chelsea Harbour, London, SW10 0XF.
Andrew Gibson's field is Modern Literature and Theory, that is, European Literature and Theory 1789-present, with a look back as far as Hume's Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40). The larger bulk of his research has been on twentieth-century literature, often in philosophical and/or theoretical and/or historical and/or narratological contexts, and twentieth-century philosophy, though he now also writes increasingly on the nineteenth century. His major work has been on James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, but the range of his interests and his writings is much wider than that, including, for instance, Kant, Wordsworth, Schopenhauer, Tennyson, Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Pound, Stevens, Woolf, Lowry, Henry Green, Hemingway, Rhys, Robbe-Grillet, Morrison, Sebald and Coetzee. Students wishing to work with him on modern writers, not least from new theoretical and historical perspectives, are encouraged to get in touch.
Professor Gibson is the author of the widely praised Joyce's Revenge: History, Politics and Aesthetics in 'Ulysses', published by Oxford University Press on 16 June, 2002. This major, book-length account of Joyce's Ulysses took fifteen years to write. It is a complex and evolving treatment of what were — for Joyce — the most crucial issues in Irish history and contemporary Irish politics. The study is original in arguing that, in many of their most important aspects, the aesthetic practices that make up Ulysses are responses to the colonial history and condition of Ireland, the colonial politics of Irish culture and British-Irish cultural politics, particularly in the years 1880-1920. The book pays particular attention to Joyce's treatment of a wide variety of historically specific English and Anglo-Irish discourses in his greatest novel, arguing that Ulysses is fuelled by a Parnellite hostility to the colonizer's culture yet, at the same time, both transforms and transcends the available range of nationalist responses to that culture.
Gibson has also published a short biography of Joyce, Joyce: A Critical Life (Reaktion Books, 2006); and, with Len Platt, Joyce, Ireland and Britain, a collection of essays for the Florida Joyce Series, published by Florida University Press (2006). This collection of essays provides a theoretical account of a specifically Joycean historical materialism (sometimes known as 'the London method') in Joyce studies, situating it in relation to postcolonial and other forms of historical work on Joyce. The essays contained in the volume partly exemplify this method. The collection is the first substantially to address Joyce's work in the context of British and Irish history and politics together. Contributors include Richard Brown, Vincent Cheng and Anne Fogarty.
Gibson most recent monograph on Joyce, a study of Joyce's early writings, The Strong Spirit: History, Politics and Aesthetics in the Writings of James Joyce 1898-1915, was published in February, 2013. It proceeds according to the same historicizing methodology that he adopted in Joyce's Revenge, examining Joyce's writings 1898-1903, Dubliners, Stephen Hero, the 'Triestine Writings', A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Exiles in turn, and in the context of successive developments in British-Irish history and politics during the period. The intention, again, is to introduce a fresh mode of historicizing thought into Joyce studies. Gibson is also steadily accumulating materials for historical studies of Finnegans Wake, but these are still some years in the future.
Gibson was co-founder of and continues to run the London University (Charles Peake) Seminar for Research into Joyce's Ulysses, and, with Finn Fordham and Wim van Mierlo, is co-founder and co-organizer of the London University Finnegans Wake Research Seminar. These seminars now form part of the seminar programme of the Institute of English Studies in the University of London. In the past, the Ulysses seminar has organized conferences and produced volumes of essays. Anyone interested in joining either seminar should email Professor Gibson.
There are many different aspects of Joyce's work that need to be explored from the kind of historical vantage point that Gibson adopts in his research. Students interested in doing this kind of work at PhD or post-doctoral level are most warmly invited to contact him.
Andrew Gibson has also worked for many years and published extensively on Samuel Beckett. In particular, he spent some years thinking about the relationship between Beckett's work and that of contemporary philosopher Alain Badiou. He was awarded a two-year Leverhulme Research Fellowship specifically to write a book on this relationship. The book was published in 2006, by Oxford University Press, with the title Beckett and Badiou: The Pathos of Intermittency. Badiou has been an admirer of Beckett's work for more than forty years, and has written about him at some length. His thought about Beckett is precisely constructed in opposition to the traditions (of nihilist absurdism and existential humanism) that dominated Beckett criticism until the late 80s. Yet, at the same time, whilst having much in common with them, Badiou moves in a strikingly and significantly different direction to the post-theoretical and postmodern accounts of Beckett that emerged in the 90s.
Gibson's book argues that Badiou's reading does indeed make possible an important new departure in Beckett studies, but only if it is itself modified and to some extent transformed in the light of Beckett's work. For in certain respects, Beckett continues to raise certain questions, not only for Badiou's aesthetics, but for his philosophy as a whole. Gibson's book is an innovative comparative study that not only provides a fresh interpretation of Beckett but is also concerned with a specific set of problems within contemporary philosophy and aesthetics. He also wrote the Afterword - 'Badiou, Beckett and Contemporary Criticism' - to Badiou on Beckett, the English translation of Badiou's complete writings on Beckett (Clinamen, 2003). Students interested in working on Beckett, particularly from a contemporary (particularly a contemporary French) philosophical perspective, are encouraged to contact him.
Gibson is now increasingly concerned with merging his philosophical work on Beckett with historical approaches. He wrote the Afterword to the Cambridge University Press volume on Beckett and Ireland edited by Sean Kennedy ― `"The skull the skull the skull the skull in Connemara": Beckett, Ireland and Elsewhere' ― and has also written a short biography of Beckett, Samuel Beckett: A Critical Life, published by Reaktion Books. Both appeared in 2010, and both seek to ground certain aspects of the argument in Beckett and Badiou in historical and empirical factuality, Irish, but also French, further placing Gibson's reading of Beckett's life and work in relation to the various socio-historical worlds that the author successively inhabited. Gibson now everywhere stresses the need to connect the established tradition of philosophical work on Beckett with the more recent, experimental and ground-breaking turn to historical research. By the same token, whilst he is particularly interested in ways of building bridges between the French and Anglophone traditions in Beckett criticism, he has an important stake in maintaining the perhaps supreme importance of the French Beckett, and his Beckett research now and for the foreseeable future will chiefly be on the French Beckett 1940-52. See for example his 'Beckett, de Gaulle and the Fourth Republic 1944-49: L'Innommable and En attendant Godot', Limit(e) Beckett 1 (2010), pp. 1-26, at www.limitebeckett.paris-sorbonne.fr/one/gibson.html. His own position is that the philosophical and historical approaches to Beckett most notably engage with and complement each other through a certain application of Badiou's thought; but also that, at the current point in time, it is the historical work that most urgently needs to be done.
Again, prospective research students interested in pursuing this line of enquiry with Professor Gibson should make contact.
Professor Gibson has forty years' experience of reading and working with continental European philosophy and literary and critical theory, particularly modern French philosophy and theory. In the nineties, much of Professor Gibson's work involved the use of this material. This was particularly the case with his work on postmodernism. As what was once the radical challenge of postmodernism subsided into an often rather vapid, lightweight and conservative orthodoxy, so Gibson's theoretical interests specifically focussed on new (post-Deleuzean) developments in French thought and became philosophically more demanding, less concerned with 'applications' of theory. Apart from Alain Badiou, he is also extremely well versed in the work of the contemporary French philosophers Jacques Rancière, Françoise Proust, Christian Jambet and Guy Lardreau, and has an interest in the work of Clément Rosset and recent French ventures into nihilism and speculative realism. He also has major expertise in a more familiar tradition spanning a period from Kojève to Derrida.
Intermittency: The Concept of Historical Reason in Recent French Philosophy will be published by Edinburgh University Press in 2011. It attempts to articulate and explain a post-Hegelian or, more accurately, post-Kojèvian French philosophical concept of the 'reason in history' as rare, sporadic and irregular. Gibson's case is that the philosophers in question produce a counter-phenomenology of spirit and a 'melancholic-ecstatic' conception of historical time. As such, however, they call to their necessary complement which, Gibson argues, is, above all, literature. The book includes chapters on Badiou, Rancière, Proust, Jambet and Lardreau, though it also abundantly contextualizes them both with reference to a specific conception of modernity beginning with the French Revolution, Kant's late writings and Wordsworth's Prelude, and a range of significant modern thinkers, from Hume to Benjamin, Lacan and Sartre. It also includes extended discussions of major literary figures, notably Wordsworth, Kleist, Flaubert, Rimbaud, Orwell, Carlo Levi and Sebald (and a film-maker, Rossellini). Any students interested in working at PhD level on the appropriate philosophers and philosophical themes, or the aesthetics in contemporary French philosophy, or the relationship between it and English literature, are warmly invited to contact Prof. Gibson.
With the architectural historian Joe Kerr, in 2003, Andrew Gibson published London from Punk to Blair (Reaktion Books). This substantial collection of new essays and photographs taken over the last quarter of the twentieth century reappeared in a revised second edition in 2012. and is an important work of contemporary social and cultural history. It was partly funded by a British Academy grant awarded to Professor Gibson. Gibson contributed an essay entitled 'Altering Images', on London literature 1980-2003; and, with his former research student Jennifer Bavidge, an essay entitled 'The Metropolitan Playground: London's Children' (also published in abridged form in the Times Higher Educational Supplement, 4 December, 2003). Together with the Royal College of Art, the Museum of London and Reaktion Books, on behalf of the department, he also organized a major conference on contemporary London at the Museum of London (November 2003), to mark the launch of the book. He is a member of the Advisory Board of Londonicity, London's first annual London Studies conference series. His own research interest in the field is ongoing and students who share it are encouraged to contact him.

So, what causes a pet parent to become an animal hoarder? New research suggests attachment syndromes are to blame, often in conjunction with other mental disorders … most commonly obsessive compulsive personalities, but also with paranoia, delusional thinking and dementia. Some begin hoarding in the wake of a traumatic event, such as the loss of a close family member. Many view themselves as full-time rescuers, believing that they're saving animals from pain and hardship. Typically, they have no awareness that they are actually hurting their animals.
• An excessive number of animals in the home and yard. Persons may not even be able to tell you the total number of creatures under their care.
• Home in an obvious state of disrepair (e.g., dirty windows, broken furniture, holes in wall and floor, extreme clutter, etc.).
• Property emanates a strong odor of ammonia. A peek through window reveals floors covered in dried feces, urine, vomit, etc.
• Animals are emaciated, lethargic and poorly socialized.
• Presence of fleas, flies and vermin.
• Individual appears isolated from neighbors and family, exhibits signs of personal neglect.
• Individual insists all animals are happy and healthy, despite clear evidence to the contrary.
• Unwillingness to allow visitors or see where the animals live.
• Refusal to disclose the number of animals in its care.
• Additional animals are always welcome, even if many of the current pets are suffering from illnesses or injury.
• Little to no evidence of successful adoptions.
• Animal surrenders generally accepted off-premises, with requests to meet in parking lots, street corners, etc.
Volunteer. After hoarding situations are uncovered, the removal of so many animals can be a staggering burden on local shelters. Volunteer your time and/or financial support … whatever you can do to help during the transition phase.
Educate others about the harm a hoarding situation can cause. Animal hoarding has often been portrayed as a harmless eccentricity — for example, the "crazy cat lady". Members of your community need to be aware of the negative impacts. Who knows … perhaps they'll be inspired to help other overwhelmed animal caregivers, too!
Good updates I have found here.
This makes me so sad; however it is good to know what to watch out for, and what steps to take. Thank you for covering the issue.
If I report a boarding situation in the family, will anyone get in trouble?

Nev. teachers union tries to block student newspaper article
By The Associated Press,
First Amendment Center Online staff
Editor's note: Kathy Archey filed a lawsuit March 5, claiming Lauren Mac Lean's article damaged her reputation. The suit names district Superintendent Carolyn Ross, high school Principal Kevin Lords, journalism adviser Myke Nelson and Steve Ranson, editor of the Lahontan Valley News and Fallon Eagle Standard, as defendants. The suit seeks damages in excess of $10,000 from the defendants.
FALLON, Nev. — A Nevada school newspaper has been allowed to run an article critical of a teacher, even though a teachers union sought to block its publication.
The article by senior Lauren Mac Lean at Churchill County High School in Fallon is scheduled to run today in the school's paper, The Flash. (The local newspaper, the Lahontan Valley News and Fallon Eagle Standard, has posted a copy it received of the article here.)
Mac Lean's story focuses on parents who contend that music teacher Kathy Archey withheld some student audition tapes for a prestigious state competition for aspiring student musicians.
Some parents said their children were devastated to learn their tapes had not been submitted to program organizers.
School Principal Kevin Lords and school district Superintendent Carolyn Ross said it would have been a violation of the First Amendment had they blocked the article's publication.
In Nevada, a principal has the authority to decide whether an article will run, unless the school board or superintendent says otherwise, school officials said.
"When we cut freedom of speech, we'd better be very careful on what we're censoring," Lords told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"I believe the greater risk is to suppress information from the public that they have a right to know," Ross said.
In its grievance filed with Lords and Ross, the teachers union, the Churchill County Education Association, claimed the article would harm the teacher's employment and could deprive her "of any professional advantage without just cause."
The Lahontan Valley News reported late yesterday that the union had filed a second grievance against Ross for disclosing information about the original grievance.
Archey did not return a phone call in time for this story. April Chester, president of the Churchill County Education Association, declined to comment.
Mac Lean said she worked with Lords and an adviser at the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno to ensure the article was reasonable for a student newspaper.
"I wrote the article in a way that it wasn't attacking Kathy Archey. ... It was really hard," she told the Lahontan Valley News. "There was so much on the line, people's jobs, people's reputations."
Mac Lean said the action taken by the teachers union surprised her.
"It shows me they're more interested in protecting a teacher's reputation and keeping their jobs than teaching the students," she said.
Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center in Arlington, Va., said it's rare that a teachers union would "try to muzzle a student newspaper."
"The fact that a story might provoke disagreement is not a justification," LoMonte said. "That's what newspapers are supposed to do, to provoke people, have disagreements and make them think."
Jerry Ceppos, dean of the University of Nevada, Reno's journalism school, said the situation was a case of prior restraint.
"I am so troubled that a teachers group would try to block the publication of a news story," Ceppos said. "This is contrary to what teachers should be teaching. I don't understand it. They ought to be teaching rights and responsibilities of the First Amendment."

Greater Boston, MA Highlighting Boston
About AARP in Boston
BREAKING NEWS: Massachusetts CARE Act Becomes Law!
Posted on 12/09/16 by Carol Brooks Ball
Massachusetts is the 34th state to pass the CARE Act.
AARP Massachusetts is thrilled to announce that the Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE) Act has been signed into law by Governor Charles Baker. AARP Massachusetts thanks Governor Baker and state lawmakers for enacting this important legislation to support family caregivers. The CARE Act (pdf), known in the Massachusetts Legislature as H.3911, and sponsored by Sen. Linda Dorcena Forry (D-Dorchester) and Rep. Chris Walsh (D-Framingham), recognizes the critical role family caregivers play in keeping their loved ones at home, and out of costly institutions. In 2015 in Massachusetts, family caregivers provided 786 million hours of unpaid care valued at approximately $11.6 billion annually.
CLICK HERE to send a customizable "Thank You" email to Gov. Baker, Sen. Linda Dorcena Forry, and Rep. Chris Walsh!
"On behalf of our 800,000 members in Massachusetts, we thank sponsors Sen. Linda Dorcena Forry and Rep. Chris Walsh for their leadership and tenacious advocacy on behalf of all family caregivers. This law provides essential support to unpaid caregivers who are often called on to provide complex medical care for which they receive little or no instruction. Additionally, we thank the 16 partner organizations that supported this bill and our tireless band of volunteer advocates who stood with us and supported the CARE Act through this legislative session." — Mike Festa, AARP Massachusetts State Director
"I am proud to have worked with the AARP in Massachusetts on the CARE Act, and commend the leaders in our state Senate President Stan Rosenberg, Speaker Robert DeLeo and Governor Charlie Baker on signing this critical bill into law," said Sen. Dorcena Forry. "This new law is an important step in helping family caregivers undertake the enormous responsibility of caring for loved ones. The CARE Act is an example of the commitment we have in our state in keeping our seniors healthy and happy in their homes, while alleviating burdens on hospitals and nursing facilities. I look forward to continuing to work with the AARP in addressing issues impacting families across our Commonwealth," concluded Sen. Dorcena Forry.
"Today many family members or family friends are charged with caring for a person when they are released from the hospital without adequate instructions. The CARE Act ensures that caretakers will be provided with appropriate training and education in what they will need to do for the patient upon release," said Rep. Walsh. "When AARP came to me in 2013, they were aware that I was caring for my elderly father, and had cared for my mother at home. I was more than familiar with the challenges of dealing with post-hospitalization care for them without ever actually being trained in areas such as giving medications or changing dressings."
Elder Affairs Secretary Alice Bonner commented, "In signing the Care Act, Massachusetts has joined a national movement that is raising awareness about the tremendous contributions of family caregivers. Taking good care of patients means taking care of family caregivers as well."
Lynn Nicholas, President and CEO, Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association (MHA) added, "MHA thanks AARP for working so closely with us on the development of this language. The hospital community is closely focused on keeping people healthy - both within and outside of their walls. This bill will help ensure that designated caregivers have the information they need to best support their family members and friends once they have left the hospital."
The law features three important provisions related to the family caregiver's role when their loved one is hospitalized:
The hospital patient is provided with an opportunity to designate a family caregiver;
The family caregiver is notified if the patient is to be discharged to another facility or back home; and,
The facility must provide an explanation and live instruction of the medical tasks – such as medication management, injections, wound care, and transfers – that the family caregiver will perform at home.
Please join AARP Massachusetts in thanking Governor Baker and the Massachusetts Legislature for passing the CARE Act and for supporting more than 844,000 Bay State residents who are caring for an aging parent or loved one, helping them to live independently in their own homes.
Family caregivers have a huge responsibility, and the CARE Act is a commonsense step that will make a world of difference to them.

Thomas Mitchell was a veteran Holly-wood actor when he came to play Willy Loman in 1950. Today he is best remembered for two roles: as Scarlet O'Hara's father in the epic Gone with the Wind (1939), and the forgetful Uncle Billy in the classic Christmas film It's a Wonderful Life (1946) starring James Stewart. Mitchell was a first generation American of Irish immigrants who settled in New Jersey. In 1913 he decided to become an actor. He met another future great screen character actor, Charles Coburn, who had his own company, the Coburn Players. Mitchell gained useful experience with them, playing Shakespeare. He also began to write his own plays. It is no exaggeration to say that since his Hollywood debut in 1923, Mitchell appeared in many of the greatest films of the 20th century. In 1939 alone, he had key roles in five classic films: Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Only Angels Have Wings, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Gone with the Wind. As the drunken Doc Boone in Stagecoach, starring John Wayne, Mitchell won the best Supporting Actor Academy Award. Throughout the 1950s Mitchell played regularly in the theatre and on television. He created the part of Lieut. Colombo on stage (his last appearance) which was later turned into the enduringly successful TV series with Peter Falk. Thomas Mitchell died in 1962 aged 70.
