POMONA, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 1, 2013) - The College of Veterinary Medicine received a $300,000 grant from PetSmart Charities (www.petsmartcharities.org) to acquire, equip and operate a high-volume mobile spay/neuter vehicle.
"This is a significant contribution to our academic program that doubles the College's mobile capacity to address community needs in the Inland Empire and the LA basin," said College of Veterinary Medicine Dean Phillip Nelson, DVM, PhD. "The support of the VACS II by PetSmart Charities, and the contribution of personnel and medical supplies by WesternU College of Veterinary Medicine, will result in a partnership designed to provide a measurable impact on the population of unowned/unwanted animals in local communities, while providing valuable learning experiences for our students."
The vehicle, VACS II (Veterinary Ambulatory Community Service), will be a key component of the college's Shelter Medicine fourth-year rotation. VACS II, which is expected to begin operation in August 2013, will take two to three fourth-year CVM students to area shelters to perform about 30 spays and neuters per day.
"We're going to be doing high-volume spay and neuter with those students," said CVM Assistant Professor Frank Bossong, DVM. "By the time students get to their fourth year, they're pretty seasoned. They are well prepared to be performing spays and neuters on dogs and cats at this point in our curriculum. We'll really be making a bigger impact on the animal population at the shelters here in Southern California."
WesternU applied for a grant to build a second VACS dedicated to pediatric spays and neuters. VACS II is under construction and, when completed, will go out on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
University Specialty Vehicles Inc. in Perris, Calif., constructed CVM's first mobile unit, VACS I, said Eva Jaeger, RVT, who is working closely with the company again 10 years later. "Getting a second opportunity to perfect a job well done the first time is an exciting prospect for all involved," she said.
"The VACS II will further ensure that our graduates will be ready to do surgery on day one with their new employer," Bossong said. "As with the VACS I, this new mobile unit demonstrates WesternU's continued commitment to producing health professionals who embrace the idea of community service."

Bill would expand U. of Utah medical school class
Higher education The requested $10 million would admit 20 new students in the fall, 20 more later.
Last year, Utah legislators shut down an effort to admit more medical students at the University of Utah despite a physician shortage that ranks among the worst in the country.
This year, the outlook appears rosier though it will still have to contend with other high-dollar desires in higher education.
SB42, sponsored by Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, is more ambitious than last years request, calling for $10 million to quickly replace 20 spots cut over the last four years and prepare for another 20 students, building toward a U. School of Medicine class of 122.
"Forty would have been the number we should have moved to during this time period to keep pace," Valentine said Friday on the Senate floor. "Doctors in my generation, the baby boom generation, they are retiring in droves. We need to make sure we are aware of this problem and we take proactive steps to [fix] it, and this is a proactive step to do it."
One of the first bills considered after the session opened Monday, it passed through the Senate Education committee unanimously and got another unanimous thumbs up with a second reading on the Senate floor Friday. The Senate is expected to vote on the proposal early this week; it will then go to the House for consideration.
If it passes, Dean Vivian Lee said, the school will admit 20 additional students this fall, and admit the other 20 students in the next two years.
Facing federal and state funding cuts, the medical school cut its annual class size to 82 students in 2009 a time when it should have been expanding, Lee said.
"Theres no way we can keep up," Lee said, citing Utahs rapid population growth, an aging population and demands brought about by the new national health care law.

For three families waiting for answers, the forbidding woods and bogs of north Liberty County seem to have swallowed their fathers last year without leaving a trace.
"How can people be swallowed whole and never seen again like this? This is crazy," said Kimberly Rogers, whose father, Dennis, was the last of the three men to disappear nearly 10 months ago.
When she tried to put out fliers for him, she was rebuffed by store clerks who thought she had already been there. The clerks were confused by fliers posted earlier for the other two missing men.
"It's more than weird. It's unbelievable," said Amanda Rhineburger, whose father, Mark, was reported missing four weeks before Kimberly's.
David Rogers, whose father, Edwin, was the first to be reported missing more than a year ago on Jan. 6, can't believe someone hasn't come forward with a single clue leading to their whereabouts.
All three men vanished over a 10-week span within a 20-mile radius of one another. They were not only fathers but also grandfathers who kept in regular contact with family, not the types to wander far from home.
Two of the missing - Edwin Rogers and Mark Rhineburger - mysteriously vanished after abandoning their vehicles along roadways with the keys still in them. The third, Dennis Rogers, disappeared while on his daily walk with his last cellphone call giving a "pinged" location in the middle of a remote swampy area.
None of the missing is related. Their bank accounts and credit cards have remained untouched since they disappeared. Their unoccupied homes have been vandalized and had everything from copper wiring to air-conditioning units stolen.
"We have no firm theories on what has happened to any of them," said Liberty County sheriff's spokesman Capt. Ken DeFoor.
Hundreds have searched for the three men, trudging through dense forests and swamps where alligators as long as cars, wild hogs and even panthers prowl. They've used everything from helicopters with infrared cameras to horses and all-terrain vehicles to search.

Mike DeLeon of Olentangy Liberty goes up for a layup between Westland defenders. DeLeon scored 15 points.
POWELL Olentangy Liberty let the other area teams know last night that if it continues to play stingy defense and run its open-post offense as flawlessly as it did against Westland, another strong tournament run is distinctly possible.
Liberty avenged its only loss by defeating visiting Westland 58-44. The Patriots (16-1, 9-1) remained a half-game behind Dublin Coffman in the Ohio Capital Conference Central Division race.
I think its more surprising for our fans that weve come back with another strong season, Liberty junior center Mike DeLeon said. We graduated almost everybody from last year, and they thought wed get bullied around inside starting three guards. The players didnt feel that way, though. We knew that once we learned how to play together, wed be tough to beat.
The Patriots two post players held their own against a guard-oriented Westland team accustomed to playing fast and scoring in bunches. Six-foot-four Alex Radkiewicz and 6-5 DeLeon not only scored 16 and 15 points, respectively, but slowed the Cougars by dominating the boards.
What did we hold them to, 44? They came in averaging 72, so I like our chances when we give up that many, Liberty coach Greg Nossaman said. Our defense did a great job shutting down their transition, and Alex and Mike deserve a lot of the credit.
Libertys defense works hand in hand with a systematic motion offense that works patiently for open three-point shots and high-percentage inside attempts.
We still want to run, but if we dont have anything, were content to pull it out and run our offense until we get a shot we want, Nossaman said. We take what teams give us. Well go back door, dribble it in and dish it out to our shooters or pound it in to our two big guys.Taking care of the ball is our top priority, and we did a pretty good job tonight not committing turnovers that led to quick shots for them.

Liberty Ross and Rupert Sanders
Liberty Ross is no longer upset with Kristen Stewart over her fling with Rupert Sanders.
The 34-year-old model and actress was devastated when her husband cheated on her with the 22-year-old actress but after filing for divorce she has decided to put the whole thing behind her.
A source told HollywoodLife: 'The good thing about Liberty is that she's not upset anymore. She's had time to get over the initial shock and awe of it when it was exposed last year and the divorce was the nail in the coffin.'
'That girl's extremely mature. She's handled all this public tragedy in her life with grace and humility for the sake of her children. I toast to her.'
Liberty's main priorities at the moment are her children, Sykla, seven, and Tennyson, five, and she is trying to get along with Rupert for their sake.
The insider added: 'All she cares about right now are her children and her future. She's spoken to Rupert by phone and the conversations were all business - trying to discuss the arrangements for the children.'

From Liberty athletics:
ROCK HILL, S.C. The Liberty men's basketball team stepped into the Winthrop Coliseum, Saturday night, looking for its first win inside the facility in nearly nine years. Unfortunately for the Flames, Winthrop showed why it's the No. 1 scoring defense in the Big South, coupling defensive pressure with solid outside shooting en route to a 66-56 Eagles victory.
From roughly the 6 minute mark to the 1 minute mark in the second half, LU missed six shots in a row. With the defeat, Liberty falls to 7-16 overall and 3-6 in the Big South. Winthrop improves to 10-11 on the season and 4-5 in conference action. The Eagles improve their all-time series record against Liberty to 33-15. Winthrop is now 19-5 against the Flames inside Winthrop Coliseum, boosting their win streak to 11 straight.
Tavares Speaks led Liberty with 15 points, securing his 12th straight double-digit scoring performance. After back-to-back 20-point efforts, Davon Marshall finished with 11 tallies on the night, followed by Tomasz Gielo (10).
Joab Jerome paced the Eagles' offense with a career-high 18 points. Derrick Henry and Larry Brown added 15 and 10 tallies, respectively, for the home team.
Liberty's 56 tallies marks the sixth consecutive game Winthrop has held its opponent below 60 points. The Eagles shot 45.6 percent (26-of-57), while holding Liberty to 33.9 percent (19-of-56).
Despite the Flames coming into the contest leading the Big South three-point percentage, the Winthrop defense held Liberty to a season-low 15.0 percent (3-of-20) from downtown. On the opposite end, the Eagles knocked down 7-of-16 treys (43.8 percent). The Flames closed the night with its best free throw percentage of the season, hitting 15-of-16 shots (93.8 percent) from the charity stripe. Liberty's seven turnovers are also the fewest by the Flames, this season.
Liberty came out firing in the first half, outscoring the Eagles, 9-2, in the opening 4:17. Coronado highlighted the burst with four tallies, while Sanders capped the seven-point lead with a three-pointer at 16:43.
Winthrop's defense came alive in the ensuing 8:14, allowing its offense to go on a 13-4 run during the span. After a Jerome jumper in the paint put the Eagles ahead by two, Marshall countered with a long two-point basket on the other end to knot the contest, 15-15, at 7:44.
Liberty did not post a field for the next 6:40, allowing Winthrop to take as much as seven-point lead in the closing minutes. A Speaks jumper broke the drought at 1:04, while a Roberts basket put the Flames within one. Larry Brown closed the half for the Eagles, hitting a jumper with three ticks left to give the Eagles a 26-23 halftime lead.

Islands Of Adventure 2013 Tour and Overview - Universal Orlando HD - Video
04 February 2013
The Treasury Departments of Jersey and Guernsey have confirmed that substantial progress has been made in recent days on negotiating joint-working initiatives to achieve cost savings and make their operations more efficient.
At the latest meeting of high-level representatives from both islands, agreement emerged on a number of specific next steps, including:
In addition, it was agreed that by the end of the year the two islands would agree a set of priorities for collaboration on infrastructure development; combine internal audit resources and information where appropriate; and share ideas and resources on public sector pension reform.
Jersey's Treasury Minister, Philip Ozouf commented: "I am determined to forge ever closer links with our colleagues in Guernsey to produce results in terms of saving money and delivering better services. In his recent speech to Jersey's Chamber of Commerce, our Chief Minister clearly emphasized how important working more closely with Guernsey will be to our future success. This closer alignment between the two Treasuries is a positive example of how this strategy is working in practice. We already have a number of successful joint initiatives underway and many more planned for the future."
"From an infrastructure perspective, many potential areas of collaboration were discussed, from energy policy, sustainability, and security to waste management, and there is a clear intent from both islands that these areas will be developed jointly wherever possible."
His Guernsey counterpart, Gavin St Pier added: "Last year, our Treasury Departments established an excellent working relationship and, as our most recent meeting demonstrates, this is set to continue. We have similar challenges and opportunities, and we remain more committed than ever to ensure that our teams are working together to share ideas and resources. I am certain that 2013 is going to result in a closer alignment between our departments than ever before."

The head of Taiwan's main opposition party left for Japan on Sunday on a goodwill visit despite a sovereignty dispute over islands in the East China Sea.
Su Tseng-chang, chairman of the China-sceptic and Tokyo-friendly Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), was making his first foreign trip since being elected party leader last May.
"We give priority to Japan, as it is a crucial neighbouring country of Taiwan and has maintained a longstanding friendly relationship with Taipei," the party said in a statement.
China, Taiwan and Japan dispute the sovereignty of the islands known as the Diaoyu islands in Chinese and Senkaku in Japanese.
Last month a boatload of Taiwanese activists protected by coastguards sailed to waters off the islands. Coastguards from the two sides converged and duelled with water cannon.
The boat, carrying seven people including four Taiwanese activists, gave up a plan to land on the islands.
Intensified friction over the islands between China and Japan has seen both sides recently scrambling fighter jets to assert their claims.
Su may meet Japanese political figures and scholars to discuss "a wide range of topics" during his five-day visit, said party spokesman Lin Chun-hsien.
Lin declined to say if the discussions would touch on the sensitive islands dispute.
He said Su currently has no plans to meet Shintaro Ishihara, a right-wing activist and former Tokyo governor who last year tried to buy the disputed islands to assert Japan's claim.
