Camp Bow Wow
Long Island City, NY (PRWEB) July 24, 2008
Tails began wagging on July 18, 2008, as the first Camp Bow Wow® in New York opened for business in Long Island City. Dogs and their two-legged guardians are invited to visit the premiere doggy day care and overnight boarding camp located at 4716 Austell Place, Long Island City, New York at the intersection of Skillman Avenue and Austell Place. Pups are invited to come in and experience an entirely new concept in doggy day and overnight care.
Camp Bow Wow® has a lot to offer to their furry friends. Its upscale environment enables pooches All Day Play, Snooze The Night Away® while receiving lots of love and attention! Camp Bow Wow® Long Island City features a state of the art facility that sets it apart from competing doggy boarding centers. The camp-themed décor creates the feel of a cozy mountain lodge, and the indoor/outdoor play areas are surrounded with premium wooden fencing.
Only at Camp Bow Wow are live Camper Cams® installed in every nook and cranny of the camp, so that owners can remotely watch their beloved pooches play all day. Certified Camp Counselors® are always present at camp, and Camp Bow Wow® offers the leading staff-to-dog ratio. The camp has a 10,000 sq. ft. facility complete with 6 spacious play yards. The play yards are equipped with doggy jungle gyms and pool splash parties during the hot summer days!
This doggy day care is just different. For one thing, there’s the all day play. Instead of spending most of the day in a cage, with minimal walks, dogs that visit Camp Bow Wow® enjoy most of their time (whether it’s for day camp or boarding) playing in one of six large indoor/outdoor play areas. “During the day campers can spend most of their time outdoors playing with their four-legged friends,” says owner Stephen Neagus. “At Camp Bow Wow® our day campers find themselves exhausted by the end of the day when their guardians come to pick them up. The guests who stay overnight are given a tasty campfire treat just before being tucked into their own private and spacious cabin.” The facility is completely climate-controlled to maintain maximum doggy comfort throughout the day and night, and all cabins come complete with a cozy fleece-lined cot.
Another unique quality of the camp is that Certified Camp Counselors® monitor the pooches all day and adhere to a strict camper-to-counselor ratio for dog safety purposes. All counselors are trained in dog behavior, safety, and health management, including CPR and First aid training. Camp Bow Wow® knows how dogs play and interact, so all sizes and types of pups are kept very yappy! As an additional safety measure, large and small doggies play in separate areas.
Stephen is ready to open the doggy doors for business and is very excited to be a part of the great NYC dog-loving community.
Stephen has owned and operated a successful dog walking/pet sitting business in the city the past 6 years. He wanted to expand his doggy horizons to include a place that all pups would be pulling their owners toward. Once Stephen left his corporate job on Wall Street, he could fully commit to what he enjoys the most, the pups! Thankfully he has achieved that with Camp Bow Wow®! In addition to upholding a strong commitment to the dogs, Stephen has made a commitment to improving his community. Stephen has volunteered with the Big Brother/Big Sister program for the past 8 years improving the lives of youth in the NYC community.
Camp Bow Wow® Long Island City will be hosting a VIP (Very Important Pooch) event on July 31st at 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM EST. This is the perfect opportunity for local businesses owners and invited guests to meet the staff, take a tour of the camp, and enjoy a little wine and cheese while networking and enjoying the new facility.
There are a few requirements to be a camper and it all starts with the free interview day. The interview is a meet-and-greet with dogs of similar size and temperament, and Stephen advises owners to leave their pooches for the full day. “Basically, it’s a free day of camp and we get to know our future guests on a first-name basis,” says Stephen. Before coming in for an interview, all campers must be spayed/neutered and up to date on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordatella vaccines.

Dizzy Gillespie & Charlie Parker – A Night In Tunisia – Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945
I have a very special guest writer for you this week, Mr. Bill Strickland, founder of the wonderful non profit organization in Pittsburgh known as Manchester Bidwell which, 1) provides state of the art jobs training programs intended to give poor and otherwise disadvantaged adults the skills and direction they need to land meaningful, good-paying jobs that provide the foundation for a much brighter future, and 2) offers rigorous after school courses in the arts that light a creative fire in at-risk kids and inspire them to stay in school (a program known as Manchester Craftmens Guild). He is also the winner of the MacArthur Foundation genius grant among many other truly commendable accomplishments and awards. Sooo, youre probably wondering how I got such a legit guy to guest write for me. Well, I didnt really. Im simply snagging an excerpt from his book, titled Make the Impossible Possible, which I highly recommend you read. Enjoy! In the 1930s, a young saxophone player from Kansas City showed up on the stages of the best jazz clubs in New York, playing with such virtuosity that even the best jazz artists of the day could only shake their heads in awe. His name was Charlie Parker, and he became an overnight phenomenon. Now, I have to be honest; Im no fan of Charlie Parker the man. in many ways he was a mean, sometimes treacherous person, and his self-destructive tendencies and reckless abuse of drugs and alcohol eventually killed him at the age of thirty-four. But despite …

New Mexico Town to Embrace Incoming Uranium Miners
New Mexico Town to Embrace Incoming Uranium Miners
Once the proud center of the Uranium Universe, and until recently the world’s largest uranium producer, the city of Grants (New Mexico) nearly collapsed in the 1980s as uranium prices sank into a twenty-year depression. Five thousand uranium miners lost their jobs, and the city elders panicked, searching for an industry with which to replace mining. “Uranium companies helped build our hospital, our school and most of our major infrastructure,” Star Gonzales, Cibola County’s Head of Economic Development, told StockInterview. “We are a mining community and know it is beneficial.”
Grants is a sleepy town of less than 10,000, north of Interstate 40, off exit 85, and about an hour’s west of Albuquerque. This past November, we toured the town’s Mining Museum, which boasts of having the only underground uranium mining museum. Grants is now a “prison town,” and instead of mining uranium, the town runs most of the state’s prison system. The times are changing again, though. Along with the recent .50/pound spot uranium price, revival of uranium mining in Grants is all but a done deal. Several uranium companies have taken their first steps into Cibola County. As with the state of Wyoming, more will follow them.
IS URANIUM MINING AGAIN WELCOME IN GRANTS?
We wondered what the political pulse on uranium mining would be like in Grants. So we talked to several representatives on the city, county and state level. Fasten your seatbelts, and move over Wyoming. Grants, New Mexico is making a public invitation to all uranium mining companies. “We will greet them with open arms!” Star Gonzales shouted into her phone. “We are very mining friendly in this community.” That’s an understatement. Grants Mayor Joe Murrietta returned from Vietnam after being wounded on the Fourth of July 1968 with a Purple Heart and began working at Anaconda’s uranium mill in Grants, New Mexico. He worked for Anaconda and ARCO for fifteen years before the uranium boom in his town ended. “We can handle the mining industry, and we are looking forward to having it back,” Murrietta told us. The mayor is confident the entire community would welcome uranium miners back.
Grants City Manager Bob Horacek worked in a uranium mill, as a college student twenty five years ago, and remembered it was a nice source of income to help him pay tuition. “We are obviously looking for jobs,” he told us. “It’s a pro, and economically we could use the higher paying jobs.” Asked about one company, which announced it may build a mill, possibly in Cibola County, Horacek quickly responded, “I’d like to visit with them.” State Senator Joseph A Fidel, a Democrat representing District 30, which includes Cibola and Socorro counties, perked up during our interview, when we talked about uranium in his county, “I would be happy to have mining come back. It would be very positive economically.”
We talked about environmental activists. Senator Fidel explained, “If there are protests, they will come from outsiders, from Taos or other parts of the country.” Ms. Gonzales agreed, “There will be no protests from the local community. The mining spirit still lives today in this town.” These echoed State Senator Leavell’s remarks, in part two of this series, “Most of the protestors have come from San Francisco, DC and Santa Fe.” Fidel concluded, ‘The community will be very supportive of uranium mining. People will be cooperative and will react positively, when the time comes.”
Each of the politicians interviewed were cautious, but optimistic. Grants, New Mexico was hard hit. As with the Governor of Wyoming, who basically told uranium companies to put up or shut up, New Mexican decision makers are waiting to hear directly from uranium companies. Are they serious? Fidel pointed out, “I believe it will materialize into something serious.” After all, the county may be sitting on hundreds of millions of pounds of unrecovered uranium. More than 340 million pounds, possibly a great deal more, of uranium was produced before mining came to a standstill during the twenty-year drought. “We have a lot of uranium,” said Senator Fidel. “The county has good potential.”

Ohio town struggles to cope with job losses – 17 Nov 08
Millions of people in small town America rely on big businesses that build plants and create jobs. When those businesses close down or move, whole towns can be devastated. One example is Wilmington, Ohio, which has been a main distribution hub for DHL, a global courier company. Last week, the firm said it will lay off more than 9000 workers, many of whom live in or around the town. Al Jazeera’s Nick Spicer went there to see how people are coping.

On Friday, November 14, the World Socialist Web Site sent a team of reporters to Wilmington, Ohio,a small town with 12000 residents. Many of them will lose their jobs when DHL shuts its operations there. Everyone is concerned about the impact of these losses and the domino effect at warehouses and other local businesses.

Goldman Sachs’s Sends Employees To South Carolina Town
Goldman Sachs’s Sends Employees To South Carolina Town
Senderra was one of the divisions within Goldman Sachs that was first to hit the chopping block. Located in Lancaster County, South Carolina, Senderra was in charge of handling sub-prime loans for the Wall Street giant. The fallout continues to affect not only the individuals who called this town home, but it has also increased unemployment within Lancaster County to 18%.
An analysis done by the Wall Street Journal of data estimates that between 2006 and 2008. Senderra was responsible for .71 billion in badly written sub-prime loans that they compiled and sent to Goldman Sachs to be sold as a bundled package know as mortgage backed securities. Losses on these securities were estimated to be 20%.
The link between Goldman Sachs and Senderra goes back to 2005. This is when Goldman Sachs became “a major investor” in Senderra. Many Senderra employees were not aware of Goldman’s tie to their company. It was only stated that there was a major Wall Street investment company who was backing their company. It was not until 2007 when Senderra was purchased by Goldman Sachs for million that the connection was revealed.
The acquisition of Senderra brought clarity to Goldman Sachs mortgage division. The merging of the two companies gave Goldman Sachs access to Senderra’s software that touted the ability to underwrite a mortgage in seconds. At its peak Senderra employed 200 employees, now it has been reduced to less than 90. In addition to the numerous other positions that were lost, the wake of devastation was immense. The total number of jobs that were lost is estimated to be 700. In a town like Fort Mills, South Carolina where there are only 10,000 residents, the loss will be felt for years.
The sub-prime meltdown has found ways to financially destroy anyone who came within three feet of them; it is going to take time for the fall out of these badly written loans to settle. Once the dust settles it is hoped that new regulations and government oversight will prevent the financial stability of the country to be threatened by the individuals who seek financial gain by any means necessary.
