The world's fastest Jew at the Bonneville Salt Flats; Moses can't get into Israel, but others leave; the prophetic poetry of Joseph Lease

This weekend, at the Bonneville Salt Flats, he hopes to take his machine, the Infidel, back into the rarified territory of 400 miles per hour. BY MIRIAM COLEMAN For a week beginning August 13, some 500 vehicles will descend on the Bonneville Salt Flats just outside Wendover, Utah, a 3,000-square-mile field of blinding white terrain so flat that you can see the curvature of the earth. One at a time the machines, ranging from tiny motorbikes to freight trucks, will blaze for five miles across the flats, testing the limits of automotive technology against the clock. More Another Exodus As told in this week's parasha, Moses couldn't enter the Promised Land. My three brothers, the subjects of my latest documentary film, chose to leave it.

Are we busy?

July 2011 Are we busy? Please Help! To help us help them, please click here Dear omss, The word busy doesn't seem to come close to how much is going on at at the shelter these days.  Below are just two of the many cases that we helping with.  In addition, one of our two biggest fundraiser is coming up quickly and the Wellness Center is busier than ever. Thank you to everyone that supports our shelter.  We could not do it without you! Is this right?   It was late and a torrential rain was coming down.  And there he was.  "Mr. Higgins" as he was quickly named was found abandoned near the shelter.  It took nearly 1/2 hour for 3 people to get him to come in.  Once inside the shelter, his true condition was seen.  Extremely thin, with severe hairloss and skin lesions, he whimpered in discomfort.  You could not touch his backup or he would respond to the pain of a touch. The next morning brought even more concern.  He had explosive diarhea.  So, he was rushed to the Wellness Center to be examined by our vet.  The initial diagnosis was EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency).  But tests had to be run to confirm the diagnosis and medications were started to help get the dog stabilized.  This will be an expensive and long road to get this dog to be ready to be put up for adoption.  The second part, getting him to feel comfortable again.  He is extremely scared and confused.  How could anyone leave a dog out in the rain in this condition?  This is just one of the reasons that Second Chance is here.  Without help, this dog would soon die.  But, he is here and safe.  We will do all we can to help this dog get a Second Chance. If you would like to help, please made a donation to the shelter.  This case alone will cost the shelter hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.  Very sad that pets like this are left out in the rain...... If you would like to see a short video of this dog, please visit our Facebook page. Saving labradors through our HSUS parnership!  We have spent over a week in VT helping to care for labs seized in a HSUS puppy mill rescue.  As of today, 58 dogs were rescued from a puppy mill breeder.  Once these dogs were removed from the property, they had to be moved to a temporary shelter while the case went through the legal process. This meant that lots of help was needed to care for these poor labs.  So, we were there to help care for these wonderful dogs.  In a short time, they began gaining weight and learning to be happy dogs.  Their medical needs attended to, they are quickly becoming the beautiful dogs we all knew they were. As an HSUS Emergency Placement Partner, the next step will be to help by taking in some of these dogs.  Once in our care, they will be spayed/neutered, get their final medical work completed, and then find them loving homes. To see the video of their initial rescue, go to: http://video.humanesociety.org/video/629262638001/Channels/602022756001/Latest-Videos/1082763239001/Dogs-Rescued-From-Vermont-Puppy-Mill/    Time is running out - please sign up to help animals at the Run Walk Wag!!   September 18th is coming up quickly!  Please sign up to help shelter pets by attending this event!  We will be having a 5k and 10k run, a 2 mile walk, yard sale, night before spaghetti dinner, and so much more.  There are so many ways to participate, don't miss out. Every dollar raised at this event helps us to do what we do.  This year we finally have a place of our own to host this wonderful event - and add new and exciting ways to participate!   For details go to:     http://www.secondchanceanimals.org/runwalkwag11.htm    or    http://www.firstgiving.com/SECONDCHANCEANIMALSHELTER    Thank you for being a part of our Second Chance family!!    Sincerely, Sheryl Blancato Executive Director

Take Action Stop the Congressional Attacks on Wildlife Before the House of Representatives left for vacation, it unleashed a brutal attack on our wildlife and environment. Several harmful amendments to the Interior spending bill took swipes at endangered Mexican gray wolves, Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles and gentle manatees. Already, more than 48,000 Defenders supporters have spoken out against these attacks. If you haven't done so already, please urge your representative to oppose these dangerous provisions. Take action now: Urge your U.S. representative to reject these anti-wildlife provisions in the Interior spending bill. Feature Helping Red Knots Each year red knots make an incredible 9,000-mile journey from as far away as the tip of South America to the Canadian Arctic. But these shorebirds are in trouble. With populations declining as much as 33 percent, the red knot may be sliding toward extinction. Join Defenders' Caitlin Leutwiler as she helps band red knots on the Jersey Shore -- and learn more about how you can help these imperiled shorebirds. Watch Caitlin's video on the Defenders Blog. Wins for Wildlife Extinction Rider Extinct! Defenders -- with the help of tens of thousands of supporters like you -- scored a major victory for wildlife with the elimination of the Extinction Rider from the House Interior spending bill. >>Learn More Welcome News for Wolverines The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will make a final decision on increased federal protections for rare wolverines within the next two years -- giving these reclusive mountain mammals a shot at survival. For nearly 12 years, Defenders and our partners have fought for Endangered Species Protections for wolverines. >>Learn More Sea Otter Bill Advances The California Senate will soon take up vital legislation to help sea otters. Earlier this year, with the help of thousands of Defenders supporters, the bill overwhelmingly passed in the State Assembly. >>Learn More Defending Wildlife Pillows for Pups When 8th-grader Eden Roth learned of the plight of America's wolves, she decided to turn her hobby into help for these magnificent animals.
